Chapter 7 Sachet
Author: Demon Tower Tower
Zhu Xiaozhou originally wanted to take Miss He outside the city and find a ruined temple that had been abandoned for a long time so that he could have a rest temporarily.
However, Qiu Yuesheng told them that they could not leave the city at all.
Commander He's men are guarding the city gate. As long as they are discovered, everything will go back to before.
That is, Zhu Xiaozhou and others opened the door of Xiaonan Building and rescued Miss He - the previous scene.
He had tried it countless times before.
But no matter what, he will be discovered by Commander He’s people.
Then, everything was reopened, back to the time when Miss He was locked up in the Xiaonan Building and the unknown will-o'-the-wisp burned her.
With so many repetitions, it's no wonder he became extremely weak.
Zhu Xiaozhou suggested that they could first go to Boss Qiu's apprentice, Sai Qiuyue, and ask him to help hide for a while.
However, Boss Qiu refused.
He thought of a theater fan of his and offered to take refuge in this theater fan's home.
Then Zhu Xiaozhou searched and found Boss Qiu's theater fan, who turned out to be an uncle in his sixties - Uncle Hong.
When he opened the door and saw Zhu Xiaozhou, he was stunned for a moment.
He clearly had no impression of recognizing such a woman.
Although there were four people traveling together, he could only see Zhu Xiaozhou.
Until Zhu Xiaozhou followed Boss Qiu's original words and conveyed something that only they could understand.
Only then did he believe that the "idol" was really back.
Zhu Xiaozhou looked at Boss Qiu in disbelief, marveling at the magical power of "idol" - it can actually be used here?
"He really can't see you, can he?"
Zhu Xiaozhou was a little unconfident and strongly suspected that they were colluding and playing tricks on her.
Otherwise, how could it be possible that this person had never even met Boss Qiu in person, yet she, a woman she had never met before, could actually believe in Boss Qiu's "resurrection from the dead" in just a few words?!
Zhu Xiaozhou quickly recalled the male celebrities he had seen on his face over the years.
Those who are in go in, and those who are out are out of the circle.
What if one day she suddenly receives news from someone saying that they are back and need her help.
She must have thought of "telecommunication fraud" first.
It’s better to be a person of this era——
Uncle Hong invited Zhu Xiaozhou into the room in a serious manner. He watched Zhu Xiaozhou open his umbrella and put something invisible on the bed, but he stood by in a serious manner, willing to help Zhu Xiaozhou at any time.
"Uncle Hong, can you?"
"Okay, okay."
Before she could say anything, Uncle Hong agreed without hesitation.
"I haven't said what-"
"Anything is fine." Uncle Hong looked around the room nervously, "Girl, I only have one question. Is Boss Qiu here too?"
Zhu Xiaozhou looked at Boss Qiu behind him, and after getting Boss Qiu's agreement, he nodded to Uncle Hong.
Uncle Hong was so excited that he wiped away tears, fell to his knees in the room, and kowtowed to every corner, "Boss Qiu, Boss Qiu——"
Boss Qiu stepped forward to help him, but he was in vain.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiaozhou had no choice but to help Uncle Hong up, "Uncle Hong, Boss Qiu wants you to get up."
"Girl, Boss Qiu, Boss Qiu - is it true that he is no longer alive?"
Uncle Hong grabbed Zhu Xiaozhou and was very excited.
"Yes." Zhu Xiaozhou was extremely reluctant, but he couldn't bear to deceive the old man.
Uncle Hong burst into tears immediately, pulling Zhu Xiaozhou and asking, "Then help me ask who killed Boss Qiu. I, I will avenge him!"
Zhu Xiaozhou looked at Boss Qiu and found it difficult to speak for a moment, so he had to say to Uncle Hong, "He is right here. You can just ask him directly."
Uncle Hong looked at the direction Zhu Xiaozhou was pointing at a loss, and trembled with his hands, as if he wanted to grab something. "Boss Qiu, my boss Qiu, you said you are such a good person, what on earth can you do?"
Who was so heartless that he killed you——"
Zhu Xiaozhou truthfully recounted Boss Qiu’s words.
He said, it doesn't matter to anyone else, it's my life that has expired.
"How is it possible? You have always been fine, how could you suddenly be at the end of your life?" Uncle Hong couldn't believe it.
Boss Qiu said it was true.
Although Zhu Xiaozhou relayed Boss Qiu's exact words, he could still tell that Boss Qiu was hiding something.
Miss He's soul was severely burned by the ghost fire. Fortunately, Bai Yuan took action to stabilize her condition and prevent her soul from dissipating. However, she could not hold out for much longer.
Boss Qiu said that when he first saw Miss He, he knew she was no longer human.
But he still fell in love at first sight - the woman with a touch of sadness between her eyebrows.
Later, after the performance, he couldn't forget it for a long time, so he went to He's house to find his sweetheart.
The He family thought he was looking for the second young lady, so they kicked him out as a prostitute. At that time, the second young lady was over 29 years old, had been married for ten years, and had two sons and one daughter, while Boss Qiu was only two years old.
Twelve years old!
Even though he became popular in Bengbu, he was always a lowly actor in front of the He family.
Later, Boss Qiu secretly sneaked into the He family mansion and had private meetings with his sweetheart every night.
After all, paper cannot cover the fire.
Commander He discovered the affair between Boss Qiu and Miss He, and was afraid that the secret of Xiaonanlou would be revealed, so he took action to "beat the couple".
"So, Commander He harmed you?" Zhu Xiaozhou asked Boss Qiu in private.
According to the direction of Boss Qiu's story, I guess it was Commander He who committed the murder and silenced him.
"No, he just ordered someone to tie me up, put me in a bag, and throw me in the wilderness." Boss Qiu said.
"Then, you died in the wilderness? Were you attacked by a wild beast?"
Zhu Xiaozhou also speculated that he must have encountered an accident in the wilderness.
Otherwise, Boss Qiu wouldn't have said - it's because his life span has expired.
This speculation was quickly rejected by Boss Qiu.
This time, Zhu Xiaozhou really couldn't guess.
Bai Yuan asked him, "Do you know that Miss He has been dead for many years?"
Boss Qiu replaced his answer with silence.
It seems that he knows.
Zhu Xiaozhou noticed that Boss Qiu had a strange smell on his body. He looked at Boss Qiu carefully and discovered the mystery.
That strange fragrance - it came from the sachet hanging on Boss Qiu's waist.
A man wearing a sachet.
Zhu Xiaozhou thought that Boss Qiu was different from ordinary men. He had a special occupation, so it was not surprising that he always required himself to pay attention to his image.
Maybe that sachet was also a gift from Miss He.
"You and Miss He are redeeming the belt from Qiyun. Is it a token of your love?" Zhu Xiaozhou asked curiously. If it weren't for the belt, she wouldn't be here.
"Ms. He often comes to listen to me sing operas. I originally gave that belt to her."
Boss Qiu murmured thoughtfully.
Zhu Xiaozhou heard some doubts and was about to ask, but there was a reaction from Miss He, and Boss Qiu immediately went to take care of his sweetheart.
Bai Yuan gave up his position.
Giving them space to get along, they walked aside.
"They—" Zhu Xiaozhou was about to tell Bai Yuan what she had discovered.
Unexpectedly, just at this moment, Uncle Hong came over and interrupted her. "Boss Qiu, you are such a pitiful person."
