Chapter 81: Please give us back the bell
Chapter 81
"Not bad for today, we can go back early!" The beggars next to him supported each other and stood up.
"Gu Zhi, let's go, let's go back!"
Gu Zhi looked up at them, "You guys go back first, I don't want to go back yet."
"You begged so much silver today, you don't need to come out for a few days!"
"I...want to stay a little longer, you guys go first." Gu Zhi said.
The other beggars looked at each other, and didn't care about him anymore. Supporting each other, they left.
Gu Zhi just sat in that corner, looking towards the Four Beauties Pavilion.
Suddenly, he saw two familiar figures entering the Four Beauties Pavilion.
Gu Zhi immediately stood up from the ground.
"It's them! What are they doing going to the Four Beauties Pavilion?" Gu Zhi frowned.
He suddenly thought of something, and his eyes turned cold.
Are they going to find sister to take back the bell?
...
Four Beauties Pavilion.
Sang Li was in the room behind the counter with Xia Miaomiao making drinks, but her mind was still thinking about the beggar she had just seen.
She didn't know why, but she always felt a sense of familiarity.
Su Mo was sitting at the counter and saw two people coming in. She immediately went up and asked, "Are you two here to play games?"
Cai Na had a stern face and didn't speak, looking around the room.
Su Mo looked at her and felt like she had seen her somewhere before.
Cai Na also glanced at Su Mo, and found that she was the one who was with that girl last time.
"Where is the girl who was with you last time?" Cai Na asked directly.
Su Mo suddenly realized, "It's you?"
That day she bumped into Sang Li, and Su Mo remembered her pink clothes.
"What do you want with sister Li?"
"Call her out!" Cai Na's attitude was not very good, as if she was talking to a servant.
Su Mo frowned, disliking her attitude, "I'm sorry, if you're not playing games, please leave!"
Cai Na looked at Su Mo and sneered coldly, "Don't be ungrateful!"
Su Mo was amused by her words, "I like being ungrateful, what can you do about it?" 𝖋𝔯𝔢𝔢𝔴𝖊𝔟𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑.𝔠𝔬𝔪
"You..." Cai Na was about to take action when Ku Li immediately pulled her back.
"Don't expose your identity..." Ku Li whispered to remind her.
Ku Li went forward and gave Su Mo a silver ingot, "We want to see that girl, we need to ask her about something, please do us a favor."
Su Mo flipped the silver in her hand, "Wait over there!"
Cai Na glared at them and went in with Ku Li.
At this time, Sang Li had just come out with Xia Miaomiao carrying drinks.
Su Mo pulled Sang Li in a hurry, "Sister Li, wait..."
"What's the matter?"
Su Mo pointed over, "Do you see those two people over there? The woman you bumped into last time, they are here to see you, and I feel they are up to no good."
Sang Li looked over, puzzled, "Looking for me?"
"They said they wanted to find you to ask about something, and even gave me a silver ingot."
"Since that’s the case, let me go listen to what they want to ask." Sang Li put down the drinks and walked over.
At this time, Ku Li and Cai Na were watching people playing mahjong at the next table.
They had never seen such a game before, and were inevitably a little curious. It seemed that there were many things in the outside world that were not available in the Miao Territory.
"What can I do for you two?" Sang Li's voice brought their eyes back.
Cai Na turned her head to look at Sang Li. She was dressed in white, clear and transcendent.
Then her eyes fell on Sang Li's wrist, but she found that the bell bracelet was no longer on Sang Li's wrist.
"Where's the bell on your wrist?" Cai Na was anxious, and subconsciously asked aloud.
Sang Li was stunned, and raised her hand to look at her wrist.
She seemed to understand something, and smiled at Cai Na, "What bell? Miss, have you got the wrong person?"
"I clearly saw a bell on your wrist last time!"
"Oh? Did you? Miss, maybe you just had blurred vision." Sang Li said unhurriedly.
"Impossible! I saw it clearly! It was Gu Zhi's bell!" Cai Na said immediately.
Sang Li paused, looking at them, they were indeed people who knew Gu Zhi.
Were they Gu Zhi's family? Did Gu Zhi ask them to come for the bell?
"What are you to Gu Zhi?" Sang Li asked.
"Where is he?! Tell us quickly!"
Sang Li frowned, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?"
Ku Li stepped forward and said, "Miss, we are Gu Zhi's family. He went missing and we came to look for him. If you know of his whereabouts, please let us know."
"What do you mean you haven't found Gu Zhi?"
Sang Li had always thought that Gu Zhi was found by his family, so nothing would happen to him. But now his family actually hadn't found him?
No wonder she dreamed of Gu Zhi having an accident the other day. Could Gu Zhi really be in trouble?
"If you know him, didn't he come to find you?" Cai Na asked impatiently.
Sang Li looked at her, "I thought you found him and took him away."
Ku Li and Cai Na glanced at each other, not mentioning that they had found Gu Zhi and he ran away again.
"Please return the bell to us!" Cai Na reached out to Sang Li.
"I'm sorry, I don't completely believe you. Since the bell belongs to Gu Zhi, come back for it after you find him." Sang Li turned to leave.
"You must return the bell to us today!" Cai Na went forward, trying to stop Sang Li.
Su Mo's whip came swinging over, hitting in front of Cai Na. Cai Na was startled and stumbled back a few steps.
Although they knew Gu sorcery, their martial arts skills were quite mediocre. They couldn't cast spells on just anyone. They had to choose the right time.
Ku Li pulled Cai Na and said in a low voice, "Forget it, let's come back for it after finding the young chief..."
Cai Na glared at them resentfully and left the Four Beauties Pavilion with Ku Li.
"Really rude!" Su Mo couldn't help but complain, "Forcing me to make a move!"
"Are those two really Gu Zhi's family?" Xia Miaomiao asked, "So are they from the Miao Territory? Did they kill Zhu Mu? Will they curse us?"
"Don't worry!" Su Mo patted Xia Miaomiao on the shoulder, "I and Wu Ying are here to protect you!"
At this moment, Sang Li looked worried, "They haven't found Gu Zhi. Where could Gu Zhi be? Could something have happened to him?"
For some reason, the figure of that beggar suddenly came to Sang Li's mind.
She paused abruptly, and said to Su Mo and the others, "I'll go out for a bit!"
"I'll go with you, just in case those two haven't gone too far and come to make trouble!" Su Mo said.
"Okay." Sang Li nodded.
The two went to where the beggars were just now, but there was no one left! Not a single beggar was there!
"Sister Li, what are you looking for?" Su Mo couldn't help asking.
Sang Li sighed. She actually felt the possibility of that beggar being Gu Zhi was small.
After all, how could someone as clean as Gu Zhi make himself look like that?
But her sixth sense still felt that Gu Zhi was just here.
"Maybe I'm overthinking. Let's go back..." Sang Li rubbed her eyebrows, feeling a little frustrated.
