Chapter 200 Lost (Part 1)
Xia Houqing's eyes became clear all of a sudden, looking at the playful three-colored cat, a sinister smile curled up at the corners of her lips.
very good!
Xia Houqing resolutely shot again, the movement was as fast as lightning, and stretched out his claws at the cat.
Just strangle it to death.
He said coldly, a strong murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and the bright red sleeves that overflowed with light reflected his pupils red, as if fresh blood was flowing in his pupils.
The cat has no sense of crisis and is having a great time.
"Meow~" The cat played with the beads for a while, and then ran over like Xia Houqing again, brought its small face closer, and rubbed Xia Houqing's flawless left side of his face tenderly.
The cat's face is fluffy, soft and warm.
In this big winter, it is as warm as a sleeve stove that feels just right.
The hand that was planning to pinch the cat's neck stopped in mid-air and did not move for a long time.
The breath around him was still cold and ruthless, and finally a strange sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, he grabbed the cat by the back of the neck again, and walked back with the cat in his hands.
"Meow meow meow!"
The cat protested excitedly, shouting.
At the entrance of the alley, an ordinary-looking boy in black stood there motionless, like a sculpture.
He saw the three-flowered cat in Xia Houqing's hand at a glance, and the two or three "plum blossom marks" on Xia Houqing's face, and his eyes widened slightly, his jaw almost dropped in shock.
This cat ate the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, is it dead? !
"Meow!"
The cat yelled at the boy arrogantly, baring its teeth and claws, as if saying, what are you looking at? !
The boy in black accidentally met the green eyes of the three-flowered cat, and instantly showed obsession.
"My lord, don't hurt such a cute kitten." The boy immediately turned his back on him, he couldn't bear to leave the cat in front of him, he felt that its eyes were like jewels and its hair was shiny.
Such a cute kitten should be a little tempered. Why does the Lord need to be so fussy!
The corners of Xia Houqing's eyes twitched, and that seductive and handsome face was distorted for a moment. He felt that if this continued, he might be betrayed.
He looked at the little fluffy thing in his hand with some distaste, the back of his hand tensed.
He took a deep breath, showing a suppressed expression, gritted his teeth and stuffed the damn cat into his wide sleeve.
Now, no one can see the cat.
"Meow meow meow……"
The cat barked several times in the sleeve, and finally bit Xia Houqing's wrist with a "owwow".
The corner of Xia Houqing's mouth twitched slightly, and only dropped one word:
"Walk."
He strode forward with the cat in his arms, the big red cloak undulating in the night wind like waves...
The figures of the two and the cat were quickly engulfed in the thick night.
The night gradually deepened.
That night, the strong wind never stopped, blowing leaves all over the ground.
Waking up early in the morning, the maids and women in charge of cleaning are busy, and the sound of sweeping the floor keeps coming and going.
After Juan Bi served Gu Yanfei as usual, she started looking for cats everywhere.
"Girl, where is Sunny?"
Juanbi searched around inside and outside the house, even looked around the small warehouse in the backyard, and said disappointedly: "Did Qingguang go out to play? The servant also asked the small kitchen to cook the duck with egg yolk that he likes." What about silk?"
Gu Yanfei didn't speak, looking at the empty courtyard outside the window.
Others don't know, but she knows very well that Qingguang didn't come back all night.
Although Qingguang is a cat, he is not an ordinary cat. He has the ability to protect himself when encountering danger.
Moreover, its charm ability has not been lost, and it is too late for mortals to offer it, and it is impossible to hurt it.
Where will it go?
If he was in Yaoling Realm before, Gu Yanfei could sense Qingguang's specific location by virtue of the contract between them.
But not now.
She could barely sense where Qingguang had been last night, and she was sure that it was not injured or in any danger.
Seeing Gu Yanfei looking at the courtyard outside, Juanbi couldn't help stretching her neck and looking out again, wanting to see if Qingguang was hiding in a corner playing peek-a-boo with her.
However, still nothing.
Juanbi always felt empty in her heart when she didn't find her baby, Qingguang, and said, "Girl, Qingguang won't go outside to play, right?"
"Recently, it's not safe outside. When the servant girl went to the kitchen to pick up food, I heard that the little grandson of Mrs. Wu's family who was watching the corner gate was lost last night. Their family searched all night, but they still haven't found anyone. But Mrs. Wu was anxious. Come to the mansion and want to ask someone to help find the child together."
"Later, Mrs. Sun, who had just gone shopping, also came and said that there were dozens of beggars missing in the capital last night, and they were all little beggars."
The water glass in Gu Yanfei's hand stopped in mid-air, raised her brows, "How did Grandma Sun know?"
There are not many beggars in the capital, but they are definitely not too few. On weekdays, the number of beggars is too many or too few. How can Mrs. Sun, a shopping woman in the Marquis Mansion, know so clearly? !
Juanbi scratched her cheek and shook her head: "I don't know."
She just listened to the meal in the kitchen, and really didn't know the details.
"My servant, go and inquire." Juan Bi had just put down the food box, and then hurried out to inquire again.
Juanbi's movements were quick and the news was well-informed. Gu Yanfei had just finished her breakfast when she came back out of breath.
"Girl, this morning, Yu's family set up a porridge shed at the south gate. When Mrs. Sun passed by, I heard the congee-giving wives of Yu's family discussing that there was not even a child who came to receive the porridge today. .”
"There was a beggar with a beard who didn't even get porridge. He went crazy looking for his son. He said that his son was only ten years old. He went to beg at the Town God's Temple yesterday and never came back."
"I heard that there was another beggar who went to the Jingzhao Mansion to report to the officials, and wanted to ask the Yacha to help find his daughter, but he was beaten out with a stick."
Gu Yanfei turned the teacup in his hand, frowning deeply.
Juan Bi swallowed: "Girl, this is what the servants have found out."
She could vaguely feel that her girl seemed to be very concerned about this matter, and was about to say that she would go out and ask again, when Gu Yanfei stood up neatly, stroked her sleeves and said, "I'll go out to find Qingguang."
Juan Bi hurriedly picked up a basket of cat toys from the side, and hurried to catch up: "Girl, I will go with you."
As soon as Gu Yanfei went out, he walked west in the direction sensed in his heart.
After passing through the three or four streets, we came to a narrow alley, and the dense canopy of locust trees above it formed a pair of natural giant umbrellas.
Gu Yanfei walked in front, Juan Bi followed behind, holding a bell ball in his hand, shaking it back and forth repeatedly, shouting: "Qingguang! Qingguang!"
But nothing.
The whole alley was empty, there were neither cats nor any other living things, only the leaves of the yellow and green pagoda trees above were swaying endlessly, and a few fallen leaves on the ground occasionally floated and twirled with the cold wind.
"Woo woo woo..."
"Ninny, my little girl..."
A man's hoarse sobbing sound came from the alley ahead, full of grief.
