Chapter 373 Bone Bead's Reaction
Chapter 373 Bone Bead's Reaction
Hongdou also knew that she was right, but she was just a little unwilling. What's more, the Guo family didn't allow her to return whenever she wanted. The young lady had been abandoned for so many years, and the Guo family had never sent anyone to visit.
However, compared to returning to the Guo family, Hongdou hopes to leave Qingzhou City as soon as possible. Although the young lady's body has been dealt with, she is always worried that something will happen.
It was because of these thoughts that Hongdou felt distressed and conflicted.
But Si He doesn't care about Hongdou's thoughts. What she wants is this identity. If necessary, she can deal with Hongdou as well.
In this way, Si He settled down here temporarily.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Si He went to sense the bone bead every day, but there was no movement. She could only stay in this city and wait patiently.
Hongdou was also a little curious. She had originally said that she would leave in two days, but half a month had passed and she still had no plans, as if she wanted to stay here forever.
However, Hongdou also had her opinion on this and gradually accepted the new master. The main reason was that she could have a full meal every day and no longer be hungry. She also had new clothes. Compared with her previous life, her current life was like heaven and earth!
One day, Hongdou was originally thinking about what vegetables to buy today, but suddenly she saw Si He running out in a hurry, as if she had something urgent to do. She didn't care about buying vegetables and hurried to catch up.
The reason why Si He lost her composure was because she suddenly felt a reaction from the bone bead today!
Moreover, it was much stronger than any previous time, and the direction was constantly changing. Inexplicably, she felt that the distance should be very close!
That's why she ran out in such a hurry, without even taking her veil with her. Fortunately, it was a cloudy day today, otherwise she would have suffered a small loss!
She ran to the intersection, stopped, and held the bone bead tightly in her hand. She tried her best to calm herself down and concentrate on feeling it, but this time the bone bead stopped responding!
There are people coming and going on the streets. It seems that there is some festival today, so it is much more lively than usual.
She stood at the intersection, looking around anxiously, but didn't know where to go.
Because she was not wearing a veil or a hat at this time, her pure and elegant face was fully exposed to everyone. Many passers-by turned their heads to look at her with amazed expressions.
"Miss!"
Hongdou came after her breathlessly, and saw her looking around anxiously like a lost child, as if she was looking for someone.
This was the first time Hongdou had seen her lose her composure like this since they met. She had always been indifferent and calm even when dealing with corpses, but now she was a completely different person.
It was also the first time that Hongdou saw fragility and helplessness in her. Now, she looked like an ordinary girl.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Anko asked curiously, wanting to know what was wrong with her.
But she said nothing, holding the bluish-white bead tightly in her hand, still looking around seriously.
Helplessly, Hongdou could only accompany her and stand aside.
"Miss, are you in any trouble? I..."
At this time, a man passing by came forward to chat with her, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Si He's cold "Get lost".
The man looked displeased, and finally he turned away angrily.
Some onlookers covered their mouths and laughed, whispering, but from time to time someone still came up to chat.
Si He was fed up with it and had to leave in disappointment. However, she did not go back. Instead, she walked into a nearby teahouse and asked for a private seat by the window on the second floor.
She stood at the window, quietly looking at the street downstairs and the passers-by on the street.
Hongdou stood with her silently for a while, but half an hour passed and she still didn't move, as if she was competing with her, and her whole body exuded an indescribable persistence.
Hongdou's legs were weak and she didn't dare to disturb him, so she could only sit quietly aside and rest for a while.
Si He stood there for the whole morning, but there was no result and the bone bead did not respond anymore.
She then sat back down in disappointment. Hongdou saw this and quickly poured her a cup of tea. "Miss, who are you looking for? I'll help you find him."
Si He picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and when she looked up at Hongdou, her expression had returned to its usual coldness. Just one glance made Hongdou shut up.
At this time, a man who looked like a servant came over and said politely: "Excuse me, young lady, my master wants to see you."
Si He turned around, her impatience deepening. Hong Dou suddenly came over and whispered to her, "It's someone from the Guo Family Trading Company."
Si He then said calmly, "No."
The servant was a little surprised, but seeing that she was so beautiful and had the temper of a young lady, it was normal. After all, she was the daughter of the Guo family.
However, it was still quite strange. Wasn't it said that this young lady was seriously ill and her appearance was completely ruined? Now she appeared in front of people in good health and with a stunning appearance. If Hongdou hadn't called her "young lady" and followed her around, they would have suspected that she was not the young lady of the Guo family. That's why the steward came to invite everyone over for a chat.
"Miss, my master is Manager Chen from the Baorong Trading Company in Qingmu City."
The servant had no choice but to reveal his name. In the past, Hongdou was not welcomed at all when he went to the trading company to collect silver and grain. Now the situation seemed to be reversed.
Si He looked at the servant with a sneer on his face, "A steward, yet he's so arrogant."
When the servant heard this, his expression changed slightly, but when he met her cold eyes, his heart trembled inexplicably, and he felt that this Miss Guo was even more imposing than Manager Chen!
Si He didn't want to get entangled with the Guo family for the time being. She gave Hong Dou a look and immediately walked up to the servant and said, "My young lady is not available to see Manager Chen. Please go back."
Seeing this, the servant had no choice but to bow and turn away.
Hongdou watched the man walk away in disgrace, and suddenly felt refreshed. In the past, she had to look at these people's faces and beg them for money and food, but now, she finally had a day to hold her head high.
Of course, this mainly depends on the new master. If he had money to support himself and didn't need to rely on charity to make a living, he would naturally stand up straighter.
Hongdou turned to look at Sihe, but saw that she was still looking out the window from time to time with a complicated expression.
She was still holding the bluish-white bead in her hand. No one knew what material the bead was made of. It was white with a hint of bluish, and as smooth as jade. It seemed to have condensed the essence of heaven and earth, emitting a faint luster, and was very beautiful.
The surface of the beads is also carved with some tiny runes, which are arranged in an orderly manner, revealing an indescribable mysterious color. If you look closely, the beads seem to emit a faint green light, more like a precious gem, as if full of sacred power, which makes people feel a little awe.
When she was in the house before, Hongdou had seen her many times holding the bead, sitting there stupidly for a long time, just staring at the bead quietly, with a look of heavy heart.
The bead looked valuable, but Hongdou felt that it might mean more to her.
