28. Chapter XXVIII
Probably the shovelers are some people who don't talk and are inconsistent. The front foot was still crying to let it walk with confidence, and the back foot deliberately said something that made it worry.
"My mother died early when I was a child, my father remarried, and I gave birth to two younger brothers, so I guess they can't take care of me. Zhang Hengqing's eyes were full of light and darkness, and they were firmly sealed under his eyes by an invisible barrier, and only at this time did he show a hint in front of the white girl, and he said: "Grandmother is not only my grandson. ”
Zhang Hengqing is not stupid, there are some things that he has in his heart, but he doesn't want to show sympathy, and he doesn't want his grandmother to worry, so he pretends to turn a blind eye to certain things, doesn't notice it, and makes a motivated appearance of concentrating on his studies to appease the hearts of his grandmother and uncle.
Who is really good to him, who is just perfunctory to him out of affection, after being sensible for a few years, he knows better than anyone else.
"I don't have anyone in this family who can tell the truth except you. Zhang Hengqing slowly stroked the little white cat, staring straight at her with strong nostalgia and reluctance in his eyes, and rolled down a string of tears in the blink of an eye: "Don't you die, okay?"
The white girl choked up, refusing to die in such a fit of rage, the poop shovel officer is very cunning, so that people can't die with peace of mind. Before, she thought that it was better to die happily than to suffer every day, and maybe she could return to modern times. However, now that I have a strong will to survive, I realize that it is easy to want to die, but it is not easy to live.
Zhang Hengqing found that the little white cat's eyes changed, and he was almost surprised: "White girl, you must survive." ”
The white girl meowed with difficulty, and was a little speechless about the poop shoveler of the pit cat.
At night, Zhang Hengqing slept in chaos, as if he just squinted his eyes, his heart palpitated, he suddenly woke up, opened his eyes to see the little white cat next to him, and found that its body was warm when he touched it with one hand, and his furry body chest and abdomen rose and fell slightly, and his hanging heart was slightly lowered.
The sky was slightly bright, and as soon as Mo Xiang opened his eyes, he saw the second young master sitting quietly on the edge of the bed guarding the cat, and he chuckled in his heart, ran over before he had time to put on his shoes, and called out in a low voice: "Young master?"
Zhang Hengqing glanced back at him, and Mo Xiang was relieved when he saw his face. If the white girl died, the young master would definitely not have this face.
"Young master, go and freshen up, it's time to go home in a while. Mo Xiang said in a low voice.
Zhang Hengqing frowned, looked at the sleeping little white cat on the bed with a hesitant expression, the worry in his eyes was self-evident, and Mo Xiang said: "Young master, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the white girl." ”
"If it's not good, call me. Zhang Hengqing rubbed his face tiredly, knowing that it was impossible for him not to go to home and only guard it.
When he was about to go out, he said goodbye softly to the white girl, and the white girl reluctantly opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Hengqing and meowed weakly. Every second of her struggle to survive is difficult, life is like a candle in the wind, ethereal, and she can take a break at any time.
Zhang Hengqing touched it and went out uneasily.
In the past few days, Zhang Hengqing has tightened himself, and his relationship with the government has also been slightly tense. The old lady knew about the white girl recuperating in his room, and Master Zhang also knew, but they didn't mention it, because he looked like he would be blown up at any time.
Even Zhang Henglin, the little overlord, consciously walked around when he met Zhang Hengqing in the past few days.
Zhang Hengqing didn't care about him, although no one told him, but he felt that the injuries on the white girl's body must have something to do with him, so they met, and his face tightened even tighter in front of the third brother.
The white girl struggled to fight with God for her own life, and when Moxiang fed her again, she would eat even if she would vomit after eating. I don't know what worked, but she actually carried the most dangerous time and looked a little better.
When Zhang Hengqing came back at noon, he heard Mo Xiang say that the white girl had eaten a little food, and he almost cried with joy, he had always had hope, but he didn't dare to be sure that the white girl would get better, because he was afraid that he would be sad and desperate in the end. Now that he sees that the glimmer of hope in his heart seems to have grown, why is he not happy?
At noon, he asked the kitchen to make a steamed fish without any seasoning for the white girl, Zhang Hengqing personally used chopsticks to break down the fish into small pieces, and also picked out the fish bones inside, when he did this, he sat on the edge of the bed, while picking the fish bones and made a promise to the white girl: "As long as you get better, I will pick the thorns for you when you eat fish in the future." ”
The white girl's eyes immediately lit up, to tell the truth, she really hates biting those tiny fish bones when she licks the fish meat with her tongue to eat, the claws are inconvenient, and it is too troublesome to pick out each fish bone with her tongue, if the shovel officer is willing to pick fish bones for her in the future, it will be better.
The little white cat meowed happily.

In the main courtyard, Li sat in the main hall with her eyes slightly closed, the thrush stood behind her with low eyebrows and did not move, the flowers outside the house were blooming brightly, and the flowers were full of splendor, but the vitality outside seemed to have nothing to do with the house.
"Let's see if Brother Lin is here. Li spoke for the third time, and the thrush answered softly, turned and went out.
After a while, she came back and said, "Mrs. Hui, the third young master hasn't come back yet." ”
Li closed her eyes and didn't speak, and habitually raised her hand to gently beat her chest, she has been feeling suffocated in her chest recently, probably because of the recent events. To say that Zhang Henglin was scratched by a cat, the most distressed person was not the old lady, but the Li family. Li was very dissatisfied with the punishment of his mother-in-law who only lightly slapped the cat twice, and his heart hurt every time he thought about it.
The thrush observed the words and said in a low voice: "Madam, wait, the young master will definitely come as soon as he learns." ”
Li nodded slightly.
Zhang Henglin came a little later than usual, and when Li saw his son, his face finally had a glow, and he hurriedly pulled his heart and liver baby to sit next to him, and asked, "Why is it a little late today, but Mr. is staying in the hall?"
Zhang Hengqing shook his head unobtrusively: "I waited for the second brother to leave." ”
When Li Shi heard this, his brows immediately wrinkled, and he said sternly: "Why do you wait for him, if he doesn't leave, you won't dare to go?"
Zhang Henglin pursed his lips, and was embarrassed to tell his mother that he was weak when he saw the second brother's face, so he took the initiative to avoid the second brother. Li thought that Zhang Henglin was bullied by Zhang Hengqing, and he was angry and distressed, and wanted to scold this nephew for being a white-eyed wolf, but before the words came out, he felt that it was inappropriate, and swallowed it back, but his face sank obviously.
"Your father's old friend sent a deer, and my mother let them roast it for you to eat tonight, okay?" Li coaxed her son softly, she has always been close to Zhang Henglin for everything, as soon as this deer was delivered, she skinned it first, and the rest of the meat was not given to the old lady at all, and she planned to give it to her younger son to eat.
Deer are rare here, Zhang Henglin heard that he was eating venison, and his feelings finally got better, and he said angrily: "Mother has roasted it for me to eat, don't give it to the second brother!"
Having said that, there was some obvious loneliness in Zhang Henglin's eyes.
The eldest son was sent to Mingshan to study by his master early, and there was such a heart-warming baby left in front of him, who looked like an eyeball, and only Zhang Henglin didn't want it, so there was nothing that Li didn't give.
"Don't wait for the evening, let them bake a plate of hearts and hind legs at noon. The Li family directly sent the little girl to the kitchen. The venison was in the kitchen, and when the whole aunt heard that there was such a big stag, she didn't mean to give the second young master a little, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart, so she didn't know.
Li coaxed her little son with venison, and when her son left, her face sank. Thrush looked at Li's face and made the maids quietly withdraw, and after she was the only one left in the room, Li didn't have so much scruples when he spoke.
"What do you mean by that? Let Brother Lin look at his face every day, is it possible that he has become a cat and he doesn't even want a brother?!" Li slapped the armrest angrily, she was obviously furious with such a gaffe.
Thrush stood meekly beside Li, who suddenly looked at her and said, "Come here." ”
"Ma'am?" Thrush looked at Lee's face and leaned over in confusion. Li whispered a few words in the thrush's ear, the thrush's face changed, and in an instant, fine sweat appeared on her forehead, and she said unsteadily: "Madam...... It's not appropriate, in case the old lady knows,"
Before she finished her words, she stopped at Lee's sharp glance.
Maybe it is because of the reason and will to survive, coupled with the meticulousness of the shovel officer, the white girl is getting better and better day by day, at least the meow of reminding the shovel shovel officer to get fish for her to eat is much more powerful every day.
Zhang Hengqing was called by it without complaint or regret, he is only afraid that it will not eat it now, where will it bother it to beg for food? As soon as it arrives, he will hurry up to get food for his beloved kitten.
At noon, there was a river fish in the kitchen, this kind of fish is always spiny and fleshy, the white girl has never liked to eat it, Zhang Hengqing frowned when he saw it: "Why did you get this kind of fish today?"
Mo Xiang uncaringly put the dishes in the food box on the table, and said, "My mother said that there is no sea bass today, only this fish." Let's let the white girl settle for a moment. ”
Zhang Hengqing took the bowl and spoon and planned to scrape off the fish meat for the white girl first, but as soon as he got closer, he smelled a strong smell of garlic from the fish, and he frowned and said, "Why does this fish smell on it? The white girl doesn't eat garlic." ”
Mo Xiang has had some nasal congestion recently, so she can't smell it, and she doesn't want to say when she hears it: "Young master, you are too careful, my mother likes the white girl the most, and she will definitely give the white girl fresh fish." ”
Zhang Hengqing's brows were suspicious, and he stretched out his chopsticks to taste it, and if it was fresh, he would give it to the white girl. Mo Xiang saw that he wanted to eat it, and hurriedly stopped: "Young master, you can't eat this fish today." ”
"Why?" asked Zhang Hengqing.
Mo Xiang was stunned for a moment, scratched her head and said, "I don't know the little one, it was my mother who ordered it to me." ”
Zhang Hengqing's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked softly, "What did your mother tell you?"
"My mother...... My mother told me several times that the fish today should not be eaten by the young master, and that it was impossible to move a bite. Mo Xiang's words became slower and slower, and from Zhang Hengqing's gradually solemn face, he slowly guessed something absurd but very likely to be true.
Zhang Hengqing was silent for a few hesitations, and finally said slowly: "You go to the kitchen to catch a live chicken." ”
Mo Xiang nodded yes and turned to go.
The whole aunt didn't ask Mo Xiang what she wanted the chicken for, and when she asked, she caught one, as if she had expected Mo Xiang to come, Mo Xiang suspected that his wife must know something.
A live hen was caught back in the yard, and Yanqing next door opened the door to take a look, and closed the door disinterestedly. Mo Xiang tied the hen's legs and was slapped several times by the hen's two big wings, and the hen lay on the ground restlessly, clucking and clucking. Zhang Hengqing looked at the live chicken for a long time, and finally handed the bowl in his hand to Mo Xiang, and said, "Feed them all." ”
Mo Xiang took the bowl and fed the smelly fish into the hen's mouth, and the hen struggled violently, and in less than a moment, she vomited blood and fell to the ground with convulsions.
Zhang Hengqing's face was gloomy and terrifying as the hen spat out the first mouthful of blood, the corners of his eyes were forced to redden, as if there was a water light about to surge out of his eyes, and he was forced back little by little. Zhang Hengqing was full of silent and suppressed anger, picked up the dead chicken without saying a word, and turned around and left directly. Mo Xiang gritted her teeth tightly, put the plate of fish and meat in the food box, and carried it to follow Zhang Hengqing.
It's just too deceitful! Even if the road ahead is a Hades Palace, he has to accompany the young master to break through!
