Dong, dong, dong.
Qin Yi gently knocked on the door a few times. Soon, footsteps could be heard from inside the house.
The door opened, and the first thing that entered Qin Yi's line of sight was the exquisite face that he had missed so much even though they had not been apart for long.
"Xiao Yi? Why did you come back? "
Yun Gu cried out in surprise when she saw Qin Yi. Then, her pretty face immediately changed color, and she asked nervously, "Did something happen? Where is Lu Yu? "
When she saw that the person standing next to Qin Yi was a stranger, the anxiety on her face deepened. "Who is he?"
Qin Yi chuckled and said in a relaxed tone, "Sister, Brother Lu and I are both fine. Sorry for making you worry."
Looking at Qin Yi's relaxed smile, Yun Gu's heart felt a bit more at ease.
However, she still didn't believe it so easily. She looked at the unfamiliar Zhao Du beside Qin Yi and asked in a low voice, "Who is he?"
Qin Yi knew that Yun Gu had so many questions because she was worried about Qin Yi. He patiently replied, "Sister, this is Zhao Du, the captain of the Zhao family's guards in Cloudy Harbor."
"The Cloudy Ocean Port's Zhao Family? Why is he with you? "
It was obvious that Yun Gu knew about the Zhao Family, but she was still worried. She wasn't afraid that Zhao Du would do anything to her, but she was worried that Qin Yi would be deceived.
After all, she had wandered outside for so long and had a certain amount of experience. It was reasonable for her to be more vigilant against outsiders.
Qin Yi shook his head and said, "Sister, let's talk inside."
Yun Gu was stunned. Then, she said awkwardly, "Look at my memory. Please come in."
Yun Gu opened the door completely and let Qin Yi and Zhao Du in.
After entering the house, Qin Yi finally told Yun Gu the purpose of this trip, "To tell you the truth. The two of us have returned to Cloudy Wave Island for one thing. I wonder if Sister Yun Gu knows where Uncle Zhao is? "
"Uncle Zhao?"
When Yun Gu heard Qin Yi ask about Uncle Zhao, she was startled. After that, she hurriedly asked, "Why did you suddenly think of asking about Uncle Zhao?"
Qin Yi smiled bitterly and told Aunt Yun everything that had happened to him at the Cloudy Sea Port.
Yun Gu's expression changed as she said, "I really didn't expect that you were looking for Uncle Zhao to save Lu Yu and the others."
"I wonder if it's convenient for big sister to reveal Uncle Zhao's information?"
Yun Gu bitterly smiled and said, "Since you call me Big Sister, then Big Sister will naturally not hold anything back. Moreover, this matter concerns the life and death of Lu Yu and the others, so I won't hide anything. However, I've only met Uncle Zhao once, so I'm not too sure about his affairs. In this Moon Crescent Ocean, Uncle Zhao's name was very famous. However, I'm afraid no one is able to clearly explain the matters related to him. "
Zhao Mo's name was known by everyone in the Crescent Moon Sea.
However, it was precisely because of this that many people were filled with fear towards him. In addition, his whereabouts were strange, so other people wouldn't know anything about him.
Hearing Yun Gu's words, Qin Yi's heart skipped a beat.
However, he still didn't give up and asked, "Big sister, Uncle Zhao once said that he owes you a favor. Last time, he helped us cross the Moon Crescent Ocean to return this favor. Then how did big sister contact him? How did he owe you a favor? "
Hearing Qin Yi's words, Yun Gu's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, "This matter has to start from three years ago. At that time, I wasn't the second manager of the Treasure Seeking House and was sent out by Elder Chu to buy treasures. On the way back, Uncle Zhao's small boat blocked the way. We originally thought that he wanted to rob us and just as we were about to fight him, he appeared in front of me. "
Obviously, this matter left a deep impression on Yun Gu. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to recall it so quickly after such a long time had passed. Her memory of the entire incident was still so clear.
Yun Gu paused and then continued, "Uncle Zhao looked at me but didn't attack. Instead, he asked me to give him a jug of wine. Although I was shocked, I didn't want to cause trouble and just gave him a few jugs. After getting the wine, Uncle Zhao really left. Before he left, he said that he owed me a favor. He threw me a talisman and said that if I needed help, just tell me to crush this talisman. "
"Wait."
Zhao Du seemed to hear the problem and frowned, "Although I have never seen Lord Zhao Mo before, I know that he is a direct descendant of the Zhao Family. Since he is a direct descendant of the Zhao Family, then Lord Zhao Mo shouldn't drink. "
Qin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and hurriedly asked, "Why?"
Zhao Du thought about it and finally decided to say this matter, "The direct descendants of the Zhao Family all have an illness. Once they drink, their entire body will itch unbearably. Some will even die on the spot. No matter how high their cultivation is, they won't be able to resolve this strange illness. Therefore, the direct descendants of the Zhao Family usually don't touch a drop of wine. "
As if feeling that his words were a little absurd, Zhao Du glanced at Qin Yi and Yun Gu uneasily.
Yun Gu's reaction was a little shocked. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhao Du suspiciously, clearly not believing that there would be such a strange illness.
However, Qin Yi nodded and agreed with Zhao Du's words. He even showed a trace of excitement because of this, as if he had found an important clue.
As someone who transmigrated from Earth, Qin Yi naturally knew about this strange illness.
On Earth, this illness was called alcohol allergy and was usually inherited.
Qin Yi didn't expect that this kind of illness would appear here. However, this also proved that Uncle Zhao couldn't drink wine.
"Since Uncle Zhao can't drink wine himself, he borrowed it from you. In other words, Uncle Zhao's wine might have other uses. "
It was also because he couldn't drink that Uncle Zhao didn't prepare wine on the boat. It was understandable that he stopped Yun Gu to borrow wine.
With a clue, Qin Yi naturally wouldn't let it go. He continued to speculate, "A person who can't drink but was so eager to borrow wine, it's very likely that he was in an urgent need at that time. Could it be that there's a place where Uncle Zhao stays nearby and he doesn't live there alone? That person who lives with him, for some reason, was in urgent need of wine? That's why Uncle Zhao didn't hesitate to stop Sister Yun Gu's boat and asked to borrow wine from her? "
Qin Yi followed his own guess and deduced his own thoughts.
"Sister, do you still remember where you went that time? Were there any deserted islands nearby? "
Yun Gu thought for a moment and quickly replied, "At that time, I came back from Wuchuan Island. There are indeed many deserted islands around there."
"Wuchuan Island?"
Zhao Du's eyes lit up and said, "I know that place!"
