A story of a peasant girl from a poor family

Chapter 263: Secretly Observing
Lin Luo nodded. The two of them were wearing white gauze hats, but it didn't affect their eating.

However, things like bamboo hats are fine as long as they don't fight, and they are easy to fall off when they fight.

"Eat."

While Lin Luo was eating, she was also paying attention to the people around her talking about something.

The reason why I didn't go directly to the Gu's family was that I wanted to come to the restaurant to listen to the chats of the people around me and see if there was any useful news.

Generally speaking, the fastest places to inquire about news are in restaurants and brothels.

Lin Luo has no interest in brothels, and doesn't intend to disguise herself as a man and sneak into brothels to inquire about news, so it's better to come directly to the restaurant.

Sure enough, Lin Luo soon heard the topic of interest to him.

"Have you heard? The massacre of the Gu family half a month ago was said to be caused by the Jiusha Palace. It's better for us ordinary people not to be involved in the world of cultivating immortals."

The other person drank a glass of wine before answering, "Yeah, I heard it was very miserable, and I heard some roars, which didn't sound like human beings. The matter of cultivating immortals has nothing to do with us, I just want to live well In my own childhood, go back to my wife and children to heat the kang."

"Although we have nothing to do with the world of cultivating immortals, if there is any turmoil in the world of cultivating immortals, whoever fights, it is not us who are injured? Look at the Gu family. We have been talking about it for half a month. It seems that no one has come to take over the Gu family. Doesn’t anyone in the world of cultivating immortals care about it?”

"Nevermind him, it's not our turn to talk about these things. If no one cares, then no one cares. But people who went to them said that the Gu family has no good things, and even half of the spirit stones can't be found. , it seems that the other party's attack is also clean and neat."

Lin Luo listened carefully, and Xiao Er did not arouse her reaction when she brought the last dish.

Seeing this, Xiao Er found that Lin Luo was interested in the affairs of the Gu family, so she took the initiative to speak up.

"Did the fairy come here for the Gu family's business?"

Lin Luo raised her eyes and nodded.

"That's right, we're here for the sake of the Gu family, but we're just here to investigate, just for a formality. After all, it's been half a month, and there's not a single person left alive in the Gu family, so it's useless to investigate. " Lin Luo replied with a light smile.

These words meant to be a test, I don't know if they knew about Gu Zhou or not.

Xiao Er nodded, "That's right, the tragedy of the Gu family is indeed like this, it was killed cleanly."

"But I'm also curious, Xiao Er, you listen to everyone chatting every day, do you have any other news?" Lin Luo asked again.

Hearing Lin Luo's question, Xiao Er's expression immediately became smug.

"Yes, the fairy is really asking the right person. I have been here for so long, so I must have heard some news that no one knows." Xiaoer said and looked at Lin Luo.

Lin Luo is not an ignorant person, she raised her hand and put a spirit stone on the table, tapped on the table lightly, and signaled Xiaoer to just say that this spirit stone is his.

Xiao Er's eyes widened, and he quickly took it from the table and stuffed it into his arms.

"Fairy doesn't know. When the Gu family was killed in a massacre before, it seemed that they got some rumors during the day. It is said that the Gu family got a treasure somewhere. Someone asked them to hand it over, but the Gu family didn't agree. At night , the watchman was the first to find that the door of Gu's house was open, and the fire was burning inside, but the house had not been burned, and a lot of blood could be clearly seen inside. The watchman walked inside and saw the corpses all over the floor, so frightened that he fainted. When he woke up, it was already daylight, and everyone knew that the Gu family was wiped out. But before the watchman passed out, he heard some movement in the Gu family, as if a dog was barking. However, the Gu family didn't have a dog, so I don't know if it was The wild dogs outside are still barking."

Lin Luo nodded. According to Xiaoer's words, they didn't know that Gu Zhou, the only one alive, was still alive.

As for what kind of treasure it is, it's a pity that Gu Zhou is a child, and the adults probably didn't tell him. Fortunately, he escaped unharmed in a dry well.

As for whether Gu Zhou was hid in the dry well by his family, or fell down by mistake, this is not a concern for the time being.

"Xiaoer, have you ever seen strangers walking around? Or before the Gu family was wiped out, were there strangers walking around?" Lin Luo asked again.

Xiao Er shook his head, "Fairy, strangers come and go to our restaurant every day, I really don't know."

"Thank you Xiao Er, you go down first, we will call you if necessary." Lin Luo said gently.

"Okay, the little one will go down first." Xiao Er shook the sweat towel on his shoulders and left.

After Xiaoer left, Shen Bingxin put down the bowl and chopsticks, and approached Lin Luo carefully.

"Junior Sister, do you know some news?"

Lin Luo nodded, "Well, I know a little bit. After dinner, we will go to Gu's house to see if there are any missing clues."

"Okay." Shen Bing agreed heartily.

The actions of the two were noticed by the people at the right back. There were four people at that table, all men.

When Lin Luo and Shen Bingxin entered the restaurant, they had already noticed it.

Hearing their conversation with Xiaoer this time, each of them looked a little strange.

One of them asked in a low voice, "Do you want to follow them?"

"Yes, but be careful. Although it seems that these two girls are not strong, they are still people from Lingyun Pavilion. Be careful and don't get too close." Another person replied.

"They left, and we followed." Another person spoke.

Lin Luo and Shen Bingxin settled the bill, and after paying the deposit for the accommodation, they left Dingfeng Building and walked towards Gu's house.

As soon as they walked on their front feet, four people walked out together on their back feet, following them far behind.

The door of the Gu family was open, Lin Luo and Shen Bingxin looked at each other, and stepped in together.

Now there are still many dried bloodstains in the whole yard. It seems that there is still a lingering smell of blood on the tip of the nose. The door of the house is dilapidated. Although the corpse has been dragged away, it is not difficult to show the tragedy of the Gu family.

"These people are too ruthless. They directly wiped out their families, even children. Those who do it should be cut to death." Shen Bingxin couldn't help cursing.

Lin Luo sighed, "It's a pity that the corpses are gone. We came too late and we couldn't even see the wounds on the corpses. However, even if there are no corpses, we can still look for clues from other places. Sister, let's search separately. Look at all the places in front of and around the Gu family, and see if there are any traces that have been missed."

"No problem." Shen Bingxin nodded and walked directly to the left.

Seeing Shen Bingxin moving so fast, Lin Luo thought of something, suddenly shook her head and chuckled twice, and walked to the right.
