Until the end of breakfast, Monk Jingchen still hadn't found out who had stolen the water he had boiled that night.
After breakfast, Zhang Meng looked at Xiaohu, who was chatting quite well with Xiao Zhangtao, and put down the worry that had been hanging in her heart.
"Don't you want to know who is helping Nie Junyou behind the scenes? Let's go and find out today."
Gu Mingtai kept thinking about what happened with Nie Junyou yesterday. He always felt that if he didn't get rid of this person, he would not feel at ease when he went on a mission in the future.
When Zhang Meng heard his words, she immediately looked at him curiously, "How do you test it? Have you come up with any ideas?"
Gu Mingtai smiled confidently and glanced at the jade pendant on her neck. "I remember you once adopted a water ghost, right? Can you ask him to come out and help us?"
"Are you talking about immortality?" Gu Mingtai nodded.
Zhang Meng touched the jade pendant around her neck and said, "Changsheng used to live here, but he's not here now. He's with Xiaobao. If we want to find him, we can only go to Xiaobao's place."
Soon, the couple arrived at Xiaobao's house. When they arrived, Zhang Dahu and his family of three were having breakfast.
When Zhang Dahu's wife saw them coming, she immediately greeted them warmly, "Xiao Meng, Comrade Gu, have you had breakfast? Do you want to sit down and eat something together?"
Gu Mingtai pursed his lips and shook his head with a serious smile. His appearance frightened Zhang Dahu's enthusiastic wife so much that she dared not come forward.
Seeing this, Zhang Meng secretly pulled the man next to her and whispered, "Can you smile a little for me? Look at you, you scared me."
Gu Mingtai had an innocent look on his face. He wanted to smile, but when he met someone he didn't know or wasn't familiar with, he really couldn't bring himself to smile.
Seeing that he still had no expression, Zhang Meng sighed and walked over to Zhang Dahu's wife to explain, "Sister-in-law Dahu, don't be afraid of him. He's just like that. He's not scary at all."
Zhang Dahu's wife curled her lips and didn't dare to say anything more.
But in her heart, she was thinking that although Xiao Meng's man was good-looking, he gave people a cold feeling, and people were afraid to approach him. Only someone as powerful as Xiao Meng would dare to approach him.
Zhang Meng immediately looked at Xiaobao, "Sister-in-law Dahu, I have something I want to talk to Xiaobao about. Is that okay?"
Zhang Dahu's wife answered without hesitation, "Of course."
After saying that, he turned around and called Xiaobao's name.
Soon Xiaobao put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran out, calling out sweetly to Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai, "Sister Xiaomeng, Master."
Gu Mingtai's face darkened. Why did the word "master" sound so awkward to him? It seemed like it made him look much older.
But no one noticed his little trick.
As soon as Zhang Meng saw Xiaobao, she immediately pulled him aside and asked quietly, "Xiaobao, where is Changsheng? Where is he?"
Xiaobao looked around and found that there was really no sign of Brother Changsheng. Suddenly, he thought of the place where Brother Changsheng would be.
"Sister Xiaomeng, I know where Brother Changsheng is. He must be by the small river at the entrance of the village. He always likes to go there recently."
Zhang Meng patted his head and said, "I understand. I'll go find Brother Changsheng. You can go have breakfast."
When she turned around, Xiaobao pulled her arm and said, "Sister Xiaomeng, can't I go with you to find Brother Changsheng?"
Zhang Meng smiled and shook her head. "No, I'm looking for Brother Changsheng for adult matters. You're just a kid, so you should eat more and grow up quickly."
When Xiaobao heard this, his little mouth turned up half high, "I'm not a child anymore, and you still call me a child."
Zhang Meng didn't try to coax him. After saying hello to Zhang Dahu's wife, she took Gu Mingtai's hand and left Zhang Dahu's house together.
The young couple came to the river at the entrance of the village and saw Changsheng's figure on the bridge.
"Changsheng, what are you, a ghost, looking at here?" Zhang Meng walked over.
Changsheng glanced at her and then at Gu Mingtai who was following behind her, and smiled, "I wasn't looking at anything, I was just thinking about something. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhang Meng glanced towards Gu Mingtai, then said honestly, "There is indeed something I need your help with, and it might be a little dangerous. You have to think it over before you agree to it."
Changsheng immediately listened attentively. "You guys," Zhang Meng said quickly. "This is what I want you to do: scare someone for us. But that person might have some unorthodox skills, so be careful when you scare him."
Changsheng didn't think much about it and quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll help you with this."
Zhang Meng smiled happily, "Thank you, Changsheng."
Changsheng waved his hand and said, "Why are you being so polite? Maybe after I've helped you with this matter, I'll need your help too."
Zhang Meng didn't think much about what he said and quickly took him to the place where Nie Junyou lived now.
Because Nie Junyou was an educated youth who went to the countryside, he lived in a thatched house closest to the end of the village.
When they came over, they specifically asked around and found out that all the educated youth had gone to work at this time, except for Nie Junyou who had been taking leave for the past few days.
When they got to the hut and peeked in for a while, they found that Nie Junyou was still lying on the bed and taking a nap.
"Just want to scare him, right? Leave it to me." Changsheng took a look and immediately floated in.
At this time, Nie Junyou, who was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, suddenly felt as if water was dripping on his face. At first he thought that the house was leaking. He got up and looked outside, but the sky was clear and there was not a drop of rain at all.
