Chapter Forty-Eight: The Next Second is Always Caught Off-Guard
"Ahh
Man Shengsheng exclaimed in surprise, scratching his head and stomping his feet around the pool. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Shhh!!h
Seeing her react like this, Xiao Ju quickly climbed out of the pool, ready to seal her mouth. At this time, Tuan Tuan leaned out from the upper echelons of the Star Tower and hurriedly asked him two:
"What's wrong? Is it the Red Star screaming?"
Man Shengsheng hurriedly nodded and replied:
"Yes, yes, how can there be a ...... in this pool? Hmm!"
Xiao Ju covered her mouth to prevent her from continuing, and then said to Tuan Tuan with a sloppy look:
"She was afraid of the dark, and asked why all the lanterns were extinguished!"
"Oh, didn't you just say, it's time for the curfew now, and the lights are not allowed in the three-legged city. Wait, I'll come down and take you upstairs. β
After saying that, Tuan Tuan retracted his body, and he should be ready to go downstairs.
"Hmm!"
Man Shengsheng kicked and kicked Xiao Ju without hesitation, Xiao Ju let go of her, she intensified her voice and raised her voice an octave, and said excitedly:
"Lin, Lin, Lin Xiaoju! Why don't you tell Tuan Tuan that there is a dead body in this water?
"Eat?"
Xiao Ju didn't think she was so humorous, and he was annoyed that she was chattering like this, in case she was heard by Tuan Tuan, it would be bad.
"Can you be quiet, who told you that I fished out corpses?"
He tried to ease her overly nervous and anxious mood, and deliberately lowered his voice to whisper to her. But she grew louder and louder, fearing that he would really smuggle the corpse back, as if she didn't believe it:
"Don't lie to me! Before the lights went out, I saw clearly, what you picked up was a humanoid corpse, a corpse that had been blistered white and swollen! You, tell Tuan Tuan quickly, let them deal with it!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming!"
Man Shengsheng's voice became louder and louder, and he was heard indistinctly by Tuan Tuan. Tuan Tuan heard them arguing downstairs, and called her name, thinking that maybe the darkness had confused them, so he quickened his pace and ran down the stairs.
Xiao Ju covered his face helplessly and was speechless for a few seconds. He thought to himself that Man Shengsheng usually thought he was shrewd, but most of the time he was just a woman who was chattering, not enough to succeed and more than to lose:
"I told you that it wasn't a corpse, it was indeed humanoid...... Hey, it's too late. β
Hearing the sound of Tuan Tuan hurrying downstairs, he didn't have time to explain slowly, he bent down and didn't know what he had picked up on the ground, and then kicked the thing he had so hard to scoop up and kicked it back into the water.
In order to dispel Man Shengsheng's fear and prevent her from talking nonsense, he put the things he picked up next to her ear and knocked them a few times with his hand:
"Hear me, can a corpse make such a sound?"
"ThisβThis is ......"
Now, Man Shengsheng finally settled down, but he was even more confused:
"This should be ......"
"I don't know yet, but isn't it strange to have this thing in a place where there are no electric lights and it looks like ancient times?"
Although she still didn't quite understand what Xiao Ju was planning to do, she agreed with his words, and she also became interested in this thing. She decided to keep it a secret for him, and didn't say a word about what had just happened.
"Have you all washed your clothes, and I've got your clothes and food ready and distributed in your room. β
Tuan Tuan came, and she didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and she didn't carry a lantern, but felt the darkness. But the darkness doesn't seem to hinder her at all, I don't know if it's because she's used to it, or if she has good night vision.
Xiao Ju hid that thing behind him, and Man Shengsheng also deliberately walked in front of him to cover it up for him:
"Oh, wash, wash, I'm so hungry, take us back to our room to eat." Man Shengsheng said.
"Well, we're not allowed to light the lights without permission after the curfew, and we're not allowed to go out. I'm familiar with this place, I don't need lights to find my way, you follow me. β
Tuan Tuan turned around and walked in front, and suddenly stopped:
"Red Star, you have to hold my hand, or you won't be able to keep up with me. She said kindly.
"Oh, oh, yes, hehe. β
Man Shengsheng took Tuan Tuan's hand.
Holding hands with strangers, even those who had been enemies before, she always felt a little awkward in her heart. She stretched her other hand back and said to Xiao Ju:
"Xiao Ju, give me your hand...... Xiao Ju?"
Xiao Ju didn't respond for a long time, but it didn't take long for him to reluctantly reject her coldly:
"No, I can see it. β
Man Shengsheng felt that he was really doing too much. But his night vision is really so good, he can even see the thing under the water, and he fishes it up.
"Huh?"
After the failure of "Nothing to Do", I don't know if it was an illusion, Man Shengsheng felt as if someone was touching her free hand from behind. Who is it? She was followed by Lin Xiaoju, and she asked a little timidly:
"Xiao Ju, are you holding my hand?"
"Let go of her. β
Xiao Ju leaned into her ear and said three words to her in an extremely low and simple voice. She didn't think much about it, and quickly let go of Tuan Tuan's hand. Tuan Tuan stopped, thinking that she had lost it, and was ready to hold hands again and continue to lead the way.
"Uh...... I don't need Tuantuan, I can't walk fast with short legs, but I'm used to the dark night and can see. So don't wait for me, you keep walking, and we'll follow slowly behind. β
"Oh, well, be careful. β
Tuan Tuan did not doubt it, and took the lead again.
"Take it!"
Xiao Ju whispered in her ear again. So close, the hot breath that Xiao Ju spat out of her mouth made half of her face red, but immediately, her attention shifted from her ears to her hands.
Xiao Ju quietly stuffed something into her from behind, wet and quite heavy. She understood his intentions, and it turned out that he had given her a part of the thing he had picked up from the ground after being fished out of the water.
She knew that Xiao Ju had to start muttering again, and sure enough, Xiao Ju continued to whisper:
"Hide it! It's dark tonight, you can't see it clearly, so hide it under the bed first. It can be your beacon in the long run. That's all I can do for you. β
"Hah, ouch!"
What does this sentence mean, is it simply a hidden mystery, and the immortals show the way?
Man Shengsheng was very concerned, but he didn't have time to ask, so he exclaimed, and almost the whole person fell backwards, but fortunately, Xiao Ju resisted her from behind. It turned out that she only cared about listening to Xiao Ju's whispering, but she didn't pay attention to her feet, tripped over the stairs, and almost fell and ate.
"It's time to get to the room, let's go in early and rest. β
It's too late to ask. However, if you borrow his words, you will come to the future, and when Tuan Tuan is gone, only the two of them are left, and then ask slowly.
"The clothes and food are all on the stools, it's late at night, I have to go to rest, and tomorrow morning I have work, so I won't stay here. Tuan Tuan said.
"Oh...... Okay, thank you Tuantuan. β
After thanking Tuan Tuan, Man Shengsheng couldn't wait to run into the room. After a hungry day, she wished that she could hurry away so that she could hide her things and feast on them.
"By the way, Xiao Ju, you wait for me to get dressed and come over to eat with you. β
When she entered the door, she specially greeted Xiao Ju in advance, saying that she would go over to eat with him and let him wait for him.
"Hmm. β
Xiao Ju said lightly.
"Haha, hide things, hide things, let's go. β
She happily entered the house. Hiding things, dressing, eating, sleeping, she has already made a flow chart in her head. It's a pity that the flow chart didn't have time to be implemented, and just before she walked to the bed, the door behind her suddenly creaked and was closed, and then she heard the sound of the iron lock entering the gate:
"Click!"
"During the curfew, no one can go out. She heard Tuan Tuan speak ruthlessly outside the door.
