Chapter 22: Where the Water Goes

"The water I worked so hard to bring back, they wouldn't really have to take it out and throw it away. It's a pity that it's just used to wash the dishes—it's too much!" Xiao Gong gritted his teeth angrily, couldn't help but turn around, and secretly followed the two people who received the mountain spring water, and walked towards the outside of the house.

This is the Prince's Mansion in the end, five steps, one floor, ten steps and one pavilion. If it weren't for Xiao Gong's obsession in her heart, she had been following the two water deliverers closely, I'm afraid she wouldn't have known where she got lost and lost.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Gong followed them out of the periphery and walked to another side door in the house. Leaning sideways against the wall, Xiao Gong only had to turn his head to see what they were doing. I saw that after they opened the side door, they began to unload the water from the car. And just as they were unloading room, outside the open side door, some people with ordinary wooden barrels began to come in one after another.

"Are they going to give water to these people? Look at their clothes, they seem to be from poor families. Xiao Gong looked back and forth at the people who came to fetch water, and couldn't help but nod his head.

"Thanks to the two eldest brothers, my kid will be saved now. Xiao Gong was thinking about it when he heard one of the men who received the water fall to his knees and kowtow.

"You don't have to thank us, you are not to mention tonight to anyone in the future. This water is also for royal use, and if it weren't for the fact that you were really in urgent need of saving people, we wouldn't have given it to you. One of the two replied in the lead.

"Yes, yes, Brother Liu, don't worry, we will never go out and talk nonsense. Brother Liu still has the great kindness of the house, and it is difficult to repay the small ones even if they are broken. One of the young men, dressed in a slightly bookish style, came forward to answer in everyone's place.

"We don't need to repay anything, we never ask for anything in return. You just have to remember not to talk nonsense. After tonight, we will pretend not to know each other when we meet by chance, do you understand?" the person called Brother Liu finally instructed.

"Yes, don't worry, we ......"

"Meow-meow-meow-meow-" As the young man spoke, the sound of a wild cat was heard nearby. The big brother Liu, who had always been very careful, saw that there was a sudden cat meow, so he hurriedly clenched his fists in his ear and signaled everyone to silence.

Of course, the little gong also heard the cat meow. But she thought it was just a cat meow, and she didn't make any noise, so she didn't really care at first. Unexpectedly, that Brother Liu really took the cat as a thing, and carefully stopped all conversation. made her, who was planning to find a chance to leave, suddenly became nervous, for fear that she would be discovered.

The location of the small gong is actually just a wall away from those people. As soon as they walked by, they could see her when they turned their heads. Although she is facing away from the wall, she can run away at any time. But it was just a move she thought was cool she learned while watching TV, and she didn't expect that she would be so coincidentally found out by making a sound.

Originally, Xiaogong was just curious to come and see, not to do anything bad. But now, if Xiao Gong is discovered, he will definitely be charged with some trumped-up crime. So she must not be discovered. But now, she couldn't even turn her head, she couldn't be sure what state she was in.

"It's probably just a wildcat, it's all this time now. The big man who came with Brother Liu couldn't help but speak up.

"There are new people in the house, do you dare to say that it should? The wild cats in this neighborhood are all fed by our people in the house, and if they call at this time, they will only see the living. Brother Liu is really not simple, after listening to his words, not only the people around him stopped talking, but even Xiaogong couldn't help but sweat more nervously.

The newcomer he's talking about isn't himself. And they had just met themselves, and if they were caught, it would be useless for them to say anything. And, according to them, it is likely that the wild cat barked when he saw him. In order to remind them of their own existence. Although she didn't count much, she never thought that she would be planted in the hands of a cat.

Thinking of this, she didn't care that she would be discovered, so she immediately raised her feet and left. He didn't look back, but he didn't look back and walked briskly towards the road he came. However, she just stared at the two big men, just followed them, and now she wanted to return the same way, and Xiao Gong really couldn't find the direction for a while. But she couldn't stop, she could only keep her head down. Let's get out of the current crisis first.

Go straight and turn the corner, and you have to go to the end of the corridor again to completely disappear from the sight of the big brother who is about to chase after you. But no matter how she said it, she was tired all day, and in this hurry, her legs began to tremble even more. Before he could take a few steps, he began to stumble and couldn't run at all. Seeing that the end of the corridor was in front of him, but at this time, Xiao Gong's calf cramped, and he tripped over something under his feet, and planted straight to the ground.

Xiao Gong, who was afraid of being discovered, didn't even dare to scream, she could have supported her body with both hands, but she could only cover her mouth desperately before finally making intimate contact with the earth. Then I prayed in my heart that they would never chase this here.

But things are always good and not bad, and at the moment when Xiao Gong fell, the two big men had already approached the wall where Xiao Gong had stayed before, and they could step in and see Xiao Gong falling to the ground

However, there is always a turnaround in everything. Just when Xiao Gong was nervous and desperate, thinking that she was dead, before her body fell, a hand suddenly reached out from the corner of the invisible corridor, grabbed Xiao Gong's arm and pulled her out of the corridor. Just before the person was discovered, he disappeared into the cloister.

"No one?" Brother Liu, who was sure that someone was coming, saw the empty courtyard in front of him and couldn't help but start to doubt himself.

"It should be those people who came to fetch water, let's hurry back and get things done, and go back to sleep quickly." In less than an hour, we had to carry water. The other man saw that there was no one and did not want to waste any more time, so he persuaded.

"Alright, let's go back. The facts were in front of him, and he couldn't believe it, so he could only promise to go back and go to their own business without mentioning it.

Here, Xiaogong, who was saved by the hand that stretched out at the critical moment, didn't have time to see who saved her. After being pulled over, he fell to the ground, gritted his teeth and vigorously beat his cramped calves, and gradually relaxed after a long time, reaching out to wipe the cold sweat left on his forehead.

"Damn Murong Shuo, it's all because of you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to suffer this sin, I'm so angry!" Xiao Gong couldn't help but complain about Murong Shuo when he thought of the crime he suffered today. It doesn't matter who the person who just saved her is, it's still not there.
