She thought a lot, from Qiao Si's enemies to her enemies, but she couldn't make it fit.
Fortunately, Cui Liu came and told her that they were fine and had returned. Otherwise, she might have killed everyone in the town until they gave her a clue. After all, she had already lost her friend once and could not lose her again...
Qiuyue proudly took out a bracelet from her bosom and said, "Here, this is for you."
Zhang You took the bracelet, which was a light green jade bracelet. Each bead was round and the size of a little finger. One of the beads had a small protrusion on it, which looked like a gourd when put together.
"Is this... a hidden weapon?" Zhang You looked at the bracelet and couldn't associate it with a hidden weapon.
Can't you hide your edge and blade?
Is there any other trick?
But she fiddled with the beads and couldn't make out anything.
Chunhua also came closer to study it, but couldn't find the trick.
"Are you lying to me?" Zhang You looked at Qiuyue in confusion.
"Hey? Don't talk nonsense. This is a real hidden weapon." Qiuyue took the bracelet after seeing that they couldn't tell it.
I saw her twisting the small gourd, then twisting the small gourd head and pulling out a thin thread.
Zhang You's eyelids twitched and he looked at Qiuyue in disbelief, as if he was watching a joke.
"That's it? A single thread?"
Qiuyue suddenly became unhappy, "You haven't finished reading it yet?"
As she spoke, she used the thread to cut the corner of the table next to her. The thread easily cut through a corner of the wood as if it were cutting tofu.
Zhang You and Chunhua were both shocked.
Zhang You felt a little embarrassed that I was the clown.
"No? What is this? It's cut open? No, isn't this jade? How can you put such a sharp object in it? Won't it break? How did you do that?" Zhang You asked several questions in a row, extremely curious.
Qiuyue took back the silk thread and handed it to Zhang You.
Zhang You watched it transform into an ordinary bracelet again, played with it, and marveled at it.
"This is the secret, and you won't understand even if I tell you." Qiuyue looked at their surprised and delighted expressions, and she felt happy too.
"This gourd head looks like this. Twist it and you'll pull out a silk thread. Don't underestimate it just because it's thin. It's a special silk thread that can cut through iron like mud. Ordinary swords can't cut it. Just like Chunhua's pair of hairpin swords, their blades are incredibly sharp.
Just release the length of wire you want to use, then turn it towards these two parts and press it, and the wire will be fixed at the same length. When you don't need it anymore, turn it back and tighten it.
If you encounter something like today again, you can use it to cut the rope. It will take some effort with the iron, but it can be done.
However, you still need to be careful when using it to avoid hurting yourself. You don't usually use swords or other things, so after thinking about it, this one is more suitable for you."
Qiuyue explained to her in detail the usage and precautions.
It was the first time that Zhang You received such a practical gift. Moreover, she even knew that she would always wear a bracelet, so she specially made one like this.
It's been a long time since I felt so valued.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
She had originally thought she'd come here and just get by, and that meeting and living with them was just part of her plan. She still envisioned earning enough money to leave and live her own life. But now, having friends like this felt good, and she vaguely thought it wouldn't be so bad if they stayed with Qiao Si.
Zhang You took off the wooden bead bracelet on her hand and put it into her purse, then put it on her left wrist. It was cool and fit her perfectly.
"Thank you. I like this gift very much." Zhang You raised his head and looked at Qiuyue with sincere and touching eyes.
"Why are you being so sentimental? Okay, okay, I know I'm very capable. Don't look at me with such admiration, or I'll get carried away." Qiuyue didn't want to see the two of them being so moved.
I'm getting goosebumps.
She quickly changed the subject.
"Okay, I was so busy catching up on the progress at noon that I didn't eat. Now that I've come back I've been looking for you guys, and I'm hungry.
Hey? You haven't touched the food on the table? Are you waiting for me? Then let's eat together."
Qiuyue pulled them both to sit down and eat together.
The food was a little cold, but they hadn't eaten for a long time and were very hungry, so they didn't ask the waiter to heat it up and just ate it with the cold dishes. Fortunately, the chicken soup was still hot.
…
The next few days were calm.
Jingzhu sent people to deal with those things, and no one in Caiguang Town noticed anything.
Jingzhu had been spending a lot of time with the mayor of Caiguang Town these days, keeping an eye on him, making him feel uneasy. Although he hadn't uncovered the truth about Wuhu Mountain, he had sent people to explore the mountain several times. Many villagers around Wuhu Mountain then discovered that the mountain wasn't as dangerous as the rumors had suggested.
Even the caravans followed them over the mountain as they patrolled the area searching for clues. Unknowingly, a road had been carved out of the mountain separating Tuozhou and Dingzhou.
Soon, all the caravans traveling back and forth will know about this shortcut, and the trade between Tuozhou and Dingzhou that has been blocked for many years will come to an end.
The moonlight was just right, and Zhang You and her friends sat in a private room on the second floor, looking at the bustling street market below.
Today is the end of the month, which is the monthly magic show day in Caiguang Town. Many troupes will perform from 11:00 to 11:00 today. The streets are bustling with people passing by.
They had already followed the "Princess" on a tour during the day, and were now watching the lively performance below from a room with a good view on the second floor of the inn.
The performances at night are much more interesting than those during the day. Perhaps it is because the darkness magnifies every short-lived firework. The flames and the lights of the dragons appear particularly bright.
"Oh, oh, oh! Look at that, that person conjured up a bunch of butterflies! How magical!" Hongmei leaned out and watched the performance below, feeling very happy.
"Be careful." Cui Liu stopped her, afraid that she would fall accidentally.
"There are still butterflies in such a cold day?" Chunhua also looked over in surprise.
When the butterflies flew out of the man's sleeves, they were still glowing brightly. A group of butterflies lingered around, like a secret place, with bits of light illuminating the darkness.
They had never seen such a magic trick and were stunned for a moment.
Zhang You was also surprised. The butterflies fluttered gracefully and didn't look fake. However, it was already winter in this season, so it was impossible for there to be so many butterflies.
The butterflies fluttered and scattered towards the crowd, and soon disappeared.
"Ah? Why is it gone? What a beautiful butterfly! I haven't seen enough of it." Hongmei muttered.
Some beautiful scenes are always fleeting.
Zhang You probably guessed the secret. The person must have cut out a butterfly shape out of extremely thin paper and then painted on it with a special thing. When it was exposed to the air, it would burn, but it looked like glowing from a distance, so it disappeared so quickly.
