Chapter 335 Will Mr. Qin lie to me?
It was almost dinner time, and even though someone had died, everyone still had to eat.
However, the mysterious deaths of two people in succession made the atmosphere in the entire temple somewhat heavy.
Even at dinner time, they didn't see Qin Mo and Qin Yi come here to eat.
After asking a young monk, I found out that the two of them had already taken their food back to the room in advance.
When Shen Yao came back, several people were already sitting around the table, but everyone was silent and no one was talking.
When Shen Yao sat down, he raised his wrist and tapped the table.
"I heard some stories from the past, but they are not very useful as references."
Gu Chaoxi raised his eyes and looked over, occasionally poking at the white steamed bun in his bowl with his fingers.
Pei Yan also raised his eyes to look.
Shen Yao recounted the story he had heard, paused, and looked at Pei Yan and Gu Chaoxi.
Actually, there is nothing similar about these stories except that people died in both stories.
After all, the ways in which these people died were different, and the time of their deaths varied so much that they couldn't possibly be the same person.
Besides, all the people who committed murder before have already turned themselves in.
However, there is one point worth noting, that is, after two people died in succession, strange things happened at night.
That is to say, although the manner of death is different, the death of two people may trigger paranormal events at night.
"Then do we need to go to the main hall tonight?" Shen Lan took a bite of the white steamed bun in his hand, blinked, and asked uncertainly.
Now, for their team of eight people, the main decisions are made by Pei Yan and Gu Chaoxi.
So what she said at this time was actually said while looking at Gu Chaoxi.
But she neither nodded nor shook her head, instead she thought about it for a while.
"I'm not sure. It depends on what happens at night. But if you're worried, you can go."
After all, it hasn't come to that point yet, and Gu Chaoxi doesn't want to cause any panic in advance.
"If the room is unsafe, it would be better to go to the main hall early."
Pei Yan was silent for a while and only said this one sentence.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chaoxi turned his head to look at him for a while, then nodded.
"Just to be on the safe side, indeed."
He didn't say anything else after that, but just lowered his head listlessly and ate the white steamed bun in his hand.
Today's dinner is pretty good. In addition to the white steamed buns, it is rare to see rice in the white rice porridge.
But aren't there not many grain reserves? How can you cook porridge like this?
So, do the little monks in the temple know what supplies will arrive tomorrow?
As I was thinking about this, dinner was soon finished.
Since the two brothers of the Qin family are not here, there is no point for everyone to stay here.
"Go back to your rooms and wash up. If it's a little late, stay in the main hall."
Qin Wei said this, inviting everyone to go to the side rooms.
Gu Chaoxi took a quick glance and saw Qin Mo leaning against the archway in the Qin family's wing, fiddling with a piece of wild grass with his head down.
She paused, then subconsciously raised her left hand and touched the jade pendant in her right sleeve.
After a while, he stopped and whispered to Pei Yan in front of him.
"Ayan, you guys go back first. I think Qin Mo is looking for me."
Following her words, Pei Yan looked towards the archway over there, and just happened to see Qin Mo raising his head.
The two looked at each other, and Qin Mo was the first to look away.
He just whispered, "Be careful." Then he turned around and followed the person in front of him towards the wing room.
Seeing that everyone had entered the archway, even Pei Yan, who was walking at the end, disappeared around the corner. Gu Chaoxi then shifted his gaze and looked in the direction of Qin Mo again.
At this time, he had stood up straight, with his hands hanging at his sides, and he just looked at her with a slightly frown.
Gu Chaoxi pursed her lips, but finally walked towards Qin Mo.
There weren't many people in the yard at this moment, just a few refugees leaning against a tree.
Someone died in the well in the afternoon, and the well mouth was temporarily sealed.
A large wooden board was pressed on top, and a heavy stone was placed on top of that.
Therefore, there were fewer people in the yard than in the previous two nights.
Only when Gu Chaoxi came closer did Qin Mo stare at her and speak slowly.
"The jade pendant was left by my mother. Can you return it to me?"
Every word was said before and after. If Gu Chaoxi didn’t know that Qin Mo was looking for him for this matter, he really didn’t want to talk to him now.
She thought about it, rubbing her fingertips together.
After a while, when Qin Mo was about to speak again, Gu Chaoxi opened his mouth and his voice floated out softly.
"Second Master Qin, if you can tell me whether you went to Master Qin's room on the night he died, I will return the jade pendant to you."
After she said this, Qin Mo's expression changed obviously.
If originally it was just a slightly annoyed frown, then now, there was a hint of complex emotions in Qin Mo's eyes, and regret?
Gu Chaoxi didn't see clearly the emotion that flashed across his eyes.
As for why she asked this question, it was naturally because she had always felt that Qin Mo was suspicious.
After a long while, Qin Mo slowly moved his gaze away from Gu Chaoxi, then raised his hand and gently tapped his forehead.
"No."
"Would the Second Young Master Qin lie to me?" Gu Chaoxi smiled.
The person on the other side was stunned for just a moment, then quickly shook his head to reject it.
"I will never lie to Sister Yun Qian. I am serious and have never been to my father's room."
He said it with great certainty, even his entire facial expression was tense, as if he was afraid that Gu Chaoxi would misunderstand him.
But she just smiled softly like before, and nodded: "I know, I believe you."
When dealing with people with whom you have a close relationship, it is always good to give them a compliment to express your trust.
Then, Gu Chaoxi took out the jade pendant from his right sleeve and handed it to Qin Mo.
He took it in his hand, took a look at it, and then looked up at Chaoxi again.
Although the smile on his face was shallow, it was obvious that Qin Mo was relieved.
It seems that this jade pendant is indeed very important to Qin Mo.
She didn't think about it any further, said goodbye to Qin Mo, and walked towards her room.
After returning to the room and washing up quickly, Gu Chaoxi lay down directly on the bed.
She was too sleepy now and had no energy to deal with things in the evening. She might as well take advantage of this free time to have a good rest.
This way, even if she encounters something strange outside at night, she will have the energy and strength to fight it with her bare hands.
But in fact it wasn't too long. Gu Chaoxi only felt that he had been lying there for half an hour.
Then he was awakened by Pei Yan who pushed the door open.
She reached out her hand in a daze, and was held in someone's arms, and then her head was rubbed.
"Let me take a nap for a while."
Pei Yan felt helpless, so he just held her in his arms and walked out.
