Sure enough, Wu Xie continued, "The body is gone, but the bones are still there."
"Okay, okay, let's all go. If it really doesn't work, we can go and take a look tomorrow and we'll know." Ji Huaichuan yawned, stood up, ended the topic, and pulled Zhang Qiling back to the house.
...
"Master Huaer, we'll be able to reach the Yiwang Waterway in the afternoon."
A white pickup truck was driving down the road. Xie Yuchen, Huo Xiuxiu, and Mop were sitting in the truck bed when the phone suddenly rang. Xie Yuchen pulled it out and saw it was Ji Huaichuan. Xie Yuchen frowned. Why would Xiao Chuan'er call him?
"Hey, Xiaochuan."
"Xiaohua Xiaohua, where are you now?" Ji Huaichuan asked.
"We're almost at the Yiwang Waterway. What's going on?"
"Haven't you met Hei yet?"
"No, what's wrong with you?" Xie Yuchen asked.
"It's okay, it's okay. When you see Xiao Hei, ask him to call me. I forgot his cell phone number and it's urgent!" Ji Huaichuan's tone sounded very anxious, and Xie Yuchen agreed.
"Okay, I'll have him call you back when he arrives."
"Okay, thank you Xiaohua, bye~"
After hanging up the phone, Huo Xiuxiu looked at Jie Yuchen curiously and asked, "Brother Xiaohua, who is Xiaochuan? Is he the boy who got on the wrong bus in Lancuo last time?"
Xie Yuchen nodded, "It's him."
"What does he want to talk to you about?" Huo Xiuxiu asked again.
Xie Yuchen shook his head. "I don't know. He just told me to call Hei Xiazi when I see him. I don't know the details."
"Oh, by the way, didn't Wuxie want to check the tattoo? Why didn't you ask my grandma directly, but asked Yin Nanfeng instead?"
"I don't want the older generation to know that we are investigating the past of the Nine Gates. Yin Nanfeng is not from the Nine Gates, but she knows more secrets of the Nine Gates than we do." After saying that, Xie Yuchen took another look at the tattoo picture on his phone.
...
Crescent Hotel
"These little guys are really energetic. They have even run to the Yiwang Waterway." The man in the ink-colored gown spoke softly as the ebony folding fan blew a breeze.
The man at the desk frowned, "You're quite energetic. You're making such a fuss just for a key."
"You two are quite idle. One is stirring up trouble and the other is passing the stick. In order not to alert the Nine Gates, they both came here to me." Yin Nanfeng couldn't help rolling his eyes. These two old guys are almost spirits. The two of them have 800 tons of tricks in their heads combined.
"Xiao Nanfeng, you can't say that. Young people need to have a spirit of inquiry. We are training them." Shen Tingsi retorted.
"A Si is right. You see, they will all find another way." Zhang Rishan nodded seriously.
"..." Yin Nanfeng was speechless. "Okay, whatever you two say is right. Play however you like. Just don't cause me any trouble, okay?"
Zhang Rishan and Shen Tingsi looked at each other and said in unison, "No."
"Two childish ghosts!"
Yin Nanfeng pushed the door open and left, leaving Shen Tingsi and Zhang Rishan looking at each other and smiling.
"Xiao Nanfeng's temper is getting worse and worse." Shen Tingsi laughed.
"It's all because of you. Now she only listens to you and ignores me." Zhang Rishan complained.
Shen Tingsi raised his eyebrows with a smile in his eyes, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I will go and talk to her later. How can you not give face to our Mr. Zhang?"
"Alright." Zhang Rishan rolled his eyes at him unhappily. "What on earth was that key you gave me before?"
"As my prodigal apprentice's master, I have to keep the house key safe for him. Otherwise, if he falls in love one day, he might pawn the house key and become homeless." Shen Tingsi said meaningfully.
Zhang Rishan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "Ghost Seal?"
"Mr. Zhang is smart." Shen Tingsi clapped his hands.
"You really like to cause trouble for me." Zhang Rishan felt a headache.
Shen Tingsi smiled lightly, with a hint of seduction, "How could it be, I can't even take time to love Mr. Zhang, how could I cause trouble for Mr. Zhang."
"Chen Tingsi!" Zhang Rishan called out softly, "Stop being so dishonest."
Shen Tingsi straightened up lazily from the sofa and sighed, "Alas, I can't even laugh now. It's so boring. Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Zhang Rishan asked.
"Why does Mr. Zhang care about me?" Shen Tingsi said with a wry smile.
Zhang Rishan couldn't help but hold his forehead. This guy started to act up again. According to convention, if he didn't do something now, this guy would leave the Crescent Hotel later. Unless it was an urgent matter, it might be several months before they met again. Thinking of this, Zhang Rishan got up and pulled Shen Tingsi to the parking lot.
As soon as he got in the car, Shen Tingsi said, "The last time we were in the car was last year."
Zhang Rishan froze as he turned the key. "It's amazing that you still remember it."
After that, Zhang Rishan drove to the backyard gate of "Qianhuali". Just as he was about to park the car, Shen Tingsi signaled Zhang Rishan to drive the car in. Then the gate was opened from the inside by two paper men. Zhang Rishan had no choice but to drive the car in.
Gently pluck, twist, wipe and pick, the silver bottle suddenly breaks and water splashes out
Pondering and reciting, plucking and inserting the strings, toiling back and forth under the moon and stars
After a ridiculous night, the next day, the paper people in the yard were cleaning the car interior, Chen Tingsi was leisurely lying in the rocking chair drinking Taiping Monkey King, Zhang Rishan was sleeping in the house, everything was so peaceful, but the peace was broken by the ringing of a mobile phone.
Shen Tingsi answered the phone and said in a low voice: “You’d better be okay.”
"Master, you didn't even ask me if I was okay when you set a trap for me." Ji Huaichuan's voice on the other end of the phone was full of resentment.
Shen Tingsi curled his lips, "Okay, tell me, what's the matter."
"Does the Banai expedition team have anything to do with you?" Ji Huaichuan asked straight to the point.
Chen Tingsi thought for a moment and hummed, "It's related to me. I was the one who led those two teams there. Panma started killing people because I cursed him. I was also the one who set up the second, identical expedition team they saw. Your guess is right. Also, don't go in the water. There's nothing in there, and it's very dirty. Don't let your precious baby get hurt, or your baby will remember me again."
"..." Ji Huaichuan didn't know what to say for a moment. He paused for a long time before speaking, "You are really honest, old man. I will find someone to give you an award later."
"No need, keep that little money to buy candy. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do. I'm very busy." Shen Tingsi wanted to hang up the phone.
Shen Tingsi had said everything Ji Huaichuan wanted to ask, so there was nothing more to ask. After hanging up the phone, Ji Huaichuan quietly cursed Shen Tingsi, calling him a "dishonest old man."
