Chapter 243: Liar
Erbao grew up on the street since he was a child, and he has seen many fatherless and motherless children, but this is the first time he has seen such a thing in front of him. The boy looked cleaner and more white than they were, not at all like a beggar on the street.
If it weren't for his ragged clothes and the appearance that he had been hungry for many days, he really looked like a pampered young master.
Erbao took a step back to the side.
"Aren't you hungry?"
The buns are hot, they smell so good, it's really a young master, you should want to eat it, right?
Erbao stretched his arms straight and stretched them out under people's noses: "Let's eat one." "It's cold, and once the buns are cold, they're hard and not delicious.
"One for each of us. ”
Erbao picked out one and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's fragrant!"
He didn't pick people up to see them starve to death.
"If you really don't eat, I can't stop you if you want to starve to death. Erbao only lost two teeth a few days ago, and he always felt a little difficult to eat, "But if you want to die, you can't stay here to die." "He is not afraid to see the dead, but other children are afraid. What if people really die here and scare others?
Erbao left the rest of the bun at his feet, walked to the other side, sat down on the ground and said, "While the sun is bright, and there is no rain or snow, you might as well leave early." ”
When the child heard this, he looked at him with apprehension in his eyes, and finally moved his hand.
The buns are still hot.
The cold hand slammed into it, as if touching a charcoal fire.
He jerked his hand back again.
Erbao sneered: "Eat." ”
Only then did he grab the bun again, hold it in both hands and send it to his mouth.
He never said a word from beginning to end.
The buns in Erbao's hand have been eaten, they are clean, and not even a single skin has fallen off. Clapping his hands, Erbao muttered: "Why can't you speak, isn't it a dumb ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a few strange words.
The sound also seems a little weird.
It seemed like it had been too long since I had spoken properly, and the voice sounded dry and thin.
Erbao listened with bated breath, and after listening for a long time, he couldn't hear what he was talking about, only what he heard was immortal, strange.
The child was not a mute, but a madman.
Erbao glanced at him quietly, grabbing a pointed stone beside him.
......
An hour later.
Taiwei returned to Jingningbo Mansion.
She walked around the room alone. Pedestrians are busy, and it's no different than usual. No matter what the world is, those who are alive have to think about continuing to live. It doesn't make a difference whether the sky is falling or the ground is sinking, eating and drinking, laughing or crying.
When there is trouble in the world, it will always affect only a small group of people.
Taiwei returned to Jixiangyuan.
Her little world is as usual as any day.
The servants were busy tidying up and cleaning, each performing his own duties, and none of them were lazy. She leaned against the window, looking out lazily, only to feel that all this was like a dream, too unreal.
This long-lost calm reminded her of the time when she lived incognito and Xue Huaijian together.
Something too beautiful is always fake.
As soon as the window was closed, Taiwei stood up straight and called Changxi to come in: "Send someone to inquire, Fourth Master Murong is still in the capital." ”
Changxi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words "Fourth Master Murong".
The marriage contract between Taiwei and Murong Shu has been dissolved.
Fourth Master Murong is not in the capital, what does it have to do with the Qi family?
"Girl......" Changxi hesitated, "Only ask Fourth Master Murong, not Prince Murong?"
Taiwei shook his head: "I only ask Fourth Master Murong." ”
Murong Shu looked timid and cowardly, not like someone who would disobey Murong Fourth Master's orders. Fourth Master Murong specially took him into Beijing this time, and it was impossible for him to return to Luoyi alone.
Tai Wei said: "You don't have to worry about the others, just ask if others are still in the capital." ”
Changxi responded with a "yes" and retreated.
Such news does not sound difficult, and the people sent out by Yi Changxi will soon return. said that the fourth master of Murong was still in the capital, and he had no intention of returning to Luoyi in a short time.
Nothing is out of the ordinary.
Taiwei felt that things were getting more and more wrong.
When she first heard the rumor that "King Xinling was hiding in Luoyi", she didn't feel that anything was wrong. It's just rumors, it's either this or that, and there have always been rumors about where King Xinling is hiding or where he died.
But looking at it now, that rumor seems to be really deceitful.
In the case that the world did not dare to mention King Xinling, how did such a rumor spread all over Luoyi and all the way to the imperial city? And it was not enough to force the Murong family to rummage up and down Luoyi, so they actually asked Murong Fourth Master to bring his nephew to Beijing in person?
Is Fourth Master Murong too cautious?
Taiwei always felt that she was about to catch that thread, but she desperately searched for it, but she couldn't find it.
All she knew was that it was too coincidental.
These two rumors sound like the handiwork of one person.
And the fourth master of Murong obviously also sensed a certain possibility, so he would go to Beijing to show weakness without any basis.
But whose hand is these rumors?
Is it the Restoration Army?
Or the emperor?
And for what?
I thought about the headache too slightly, but I still couldn't think through it.
She's not stupid, but she's still far from being smart. At this time, she suddenly thought of her father. She had always thought he was a complete bale idiot, but she was clearly wrong.
The thread she couldn't catch, maybe he could.
So Taiwei personally went to the second gate to wait.
However, the book she had brought with her had been flipped through and read twice, until it was dark and the light was lit at the door, and she still could not wait for him to return.
Only one of the guards came to tell her that the uncle was still in the National Teacher's Mansion, and I was afraid that he would not come back tonight.
Taiwei listened, narrowed his eyes, and asked suddenly: "When did he order you to come back and deliver the message?"
The guard was stunned for a moment, and thought: "It was the villain who ordered him to go out early in the morning, and let the villain come to pass the word in the evening." ”
Taiwei rolled up the book in her hand, clutched it into a ball, and held it tightly.
The girl's white fingers were red from the exertion.
"I see. She said in a deep voice, "Go down." ”
This old fox is a dead liar!
He knew early in the morning that he would not be able to come back tonight, but he deliberately said something to her before going out, and told her the secret when he returned.
It made her worry and wait for a day.
Hell knows when he'll be back!
Taiwei took the book and left the second door without looking back.
She went straight to her mother.
"When you were young, you didn't have to marry any kind of person, you had to marry such a person. ”
She muttered, causing Jiang to laugh.
"If I don't get married, where will I be you?" Jiang pulled her to sit down and served her with vegetables, "The national teacher wants to keep him, what can he do." If you are angry with him, you might as well eat two more bites. ”
But after thinking about it too slightly, it still wasn't happy.
......
In the middle of the night, everything was silent.
She got out of bed and slipped into her father's study.
