Chapter 243 Gift Giving (11)
The system also told Gu Chang that Nie Qingxue was injured and unconscious. At that time, Gu Chang was standing in front of several large pots of chrysanthemums in the yard.
The system recounted everything that happened after Nie Qingxue returned to the Nie Mansion. After listening to it, Gu Chang raised his eyebrows slightly.
He felt that this style of behavior was the truest side of this fake Nie Qingxue.
The way she had appeared in public before was to imitate the real Nie Qingxue.
Gu Chang put the watering can in his hand on a wooden shelf beside him, then turned and went into his room.
After a while, Gu Chang walked out of the room with two sets of packed clothes.
Gu Changxian came to the door of Yinli's room and knocked three times, "Yinli, are you in the room?"
Soon, someone in the house came over and opened the door for Gu Chang.
Yin Li smiled slightly and asked, "Master, is there anything I can help you with?"
"It's nothing, I just bought new clothes for you and Tianyu." Gu Chang handed one of the sets of clothes to Yin Li.
Yin Li was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Gu Chang would still think of buying them new clothes when he went out.
"This... Young Master..." Yin Li didn't know what to say. She stood there at a loss with the beautiful clothes in her hands.
"Don't refuse. I bought this with Murong Heng's money. I'm just offering it to you." Gu Chang smiled and asked Yin Li, "Is Tianyu back?"
"He's inside the house." Yin Li answered Gu Chang's question subconsciously.
After Gu Chang's interruption, Yin Li couldn't even say the words of refusal.
"I know that practical things for your line of work should be weapons or something like that, but I don't know what kind of weapons are suitable for you, so I bought clothes..." Gu Changchang saw hesitation in Yin Li's eyes and wanted to explain. Before he finished speaking, Yin Li interrupted him.
"Sir, I really like this dress. You don't need to explain. I understand. Please give this new dress to Tianyu as soon as possible. He has been complaining recently that his clothes don't fit him well."
"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten. If the clothes don't fit, you can tell me and I will have someone take them to Lingsi Pavilion to have them altered." Gu Chang said in a gentle tone, said "bye" to Yin Li, and then went to another side room to find Tian Yu.
Tianyu was indeed very happy when he saw the new clothes that Gu Chang had given her.
Tian Yu touched his belly with his hand and said with a smile, "Master, you don't know, I've been eating too much these days, and my clothes are getting too tight. You gave me this dress, which solved my urgent need. I am very grateful!"
"Don't be so polite, as long as you like it." Gu Chang looked at Tian Yu holding the clothes and walking into the room impatiently, and Gu Chang couldn't help but smile.
At this time, the system said quietly: "Host, come to think of it, you haven't given me any gifts yet?"
"If your system has a skin mall, I can consider buying one for you." Gu Chang said in a gentle voice.
The system snorted proudly, "I'll eat this big cake."
"I never make big promises." Gu Chang has always been a man of his words. However, if the Lord God really opens a skin mall for the system and spends points, then Gu Chang will really complain that the Lord God is a black-hearted capitalist.
"Hehe." The system laughed happily twice. The host really still had it in mind.
Gu Chang returned to his room and blew out the candle on the table, then walked to the bed and sat down. He took off his shoes and socks and got on the bed.
In the corner of the room, a small black shadow seemed to flash by.
Gu Chang took off his coat with a calm expression, folded it and placed it on the bedside, then lifted the quilt and lay down to sleep.
The thing in the corner quietly approached the bed, then crawled onto the bed along the carvings on the foot of the bed.
Then it slowly walked to Gu Chang's shoulder, twisting its body with a creaking sound, and a cold light shone on it.
In an instant, Gu Chang reacted quickly and stood up, grabbing something on the bed with one hand.
With the moonlight outside the window, Gu Chang saw that the thing in his hand was actually a big rat.
Gu Changwei narrowed his eyes, feeling something was wrong.
And as soon as he caught the mouse, it immediately stopped responding.
Gu Chang got out of bed barefoot and lit the candle again with a tinder.
In the candlelight, Gu Chang looked at the mouse with shiny black fur in his hand and fell into deep thought.
The system said in shock: "Oh my God, it's a mouse!"
Gu Chang didn't say anything. He touched the mouse's back and felt a hard object on the mouse's neck with his fingertips.
Then Gu Chang pinched the hard object and peeled off the mouse's fur.
There was no expected blood-red flesh, only a simple wooden skeleton inside the mouse.
"What is this?" the system asked in confusion.
"It seems someone is targeting me." After Gu Chang returned to the system, he continued to flip open the leather cover to see if he could find any clues.
There was no marking on the fake mouse, but it reminded Gu Chang of the Konggu puppet.
But obviously, it is impossible for this fake mouse to contain a human soul.
Gu Chang simply took the thing back to the bed, and while getting into bed, he put the fake mouse into his personal space.
When Gu Chang lay down, a shriveled hand stretched out from under the bed. Its fingers were sharp, and its bones were covered with skin. It looked very scary.
"It's really annoying that you don't let me sleep so late at night." Gu Chang got up helplessly, pulled out the dagger from under the pillow, then quickly turned over and got out of bed, inserting the dagger into the shriveled and weird hand attached to the wooden board beside the bed.
Then he suddenly dragged out the things under the bed.
"System, didn't you say that there are no evil spirits in Tiandu City?" Gu Chang looked at the shriveled human skin dragged out from under the bed, his eyes filled with deep thought.
"Yes, there is nothing. Host, this is just a human skin..." In the middle of the night, the system realized that what it said was indeed a bit scary.
Gu Chang sighed and rolled up the human skin on the ground into a cylinder.
Then he put it back into his personal space, and this time Gu Chang put it in openly.
Then Gu Chang walked towards the door with the candlestick. He wanted to go out and find Tian Yu and Yin Li to discuss this strange thing.
"They have all gone to bed." A sudden male voice sounded around Gu Chang.
Gu Chang stopped and said in a cold tone: "Your purpose."
At the same time, the system also told Gu Chang that the person who was speaking was wearing a nightgown, with his face masked, and was standing to Gu Chang's left.
The candle in Gu Chang's hand suddenly shook violently.
The next second, it went out.
The room was suddenly plunged into darkness.
Only the cold moonlight shines through the window paper and falls hazily on the area under the windowsill.
"Curious." The man's voice continued with a hint of amusement, "I'm curious whether you are a human or a ghost in human skin."
The person who spoke had a steady voice, and Gu Chang had no impression of this voice.
"Are you a Taoist priest?" Gu Chang chuckled.
"That's a good guess." The man admitted, and took a step towards Gu Chang, carrying a cool and refreshing fragrance.
"I advise you to leave Tiandu tomorrow. Otherwise, you don't want to see the body you have worked so hard to get damaged." The man lowered his voice, and as he spoke, he opened the door and disappeared in front of Gu Chang.
Gu Chang pursed his lips. This person knew about the Konggu Puppet and threatened him.
Moreover, this person must have been targeting him when he came to Tiandu City.
But now I still have to go and see how Tianyu and Yinli are doing.
