Chapter 60: Evil Fate 7
For several days after that, Zuo Han was placed under house arrest in this small compound. Although he has three beautiful girls, Peach, Xinlan and Meizhen, he is accompanied day and night, which gives him a lot of comfort and satisfaction. But he still felt a deep sense of worry and melancholy. He was isolated from the world, and he didn't know where the dispute between the Shaolin Temple and the Shanghai Gang had come, nor did he know whether the daily operation of the Jinyiwei Zhejiang Thousand Households Office had been hit hard and affected, and he didn't know when his life in this small courtyard would come to an end? You can only see the guards outside the courtyard with three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, defending this place tightly. Not to mention that Zuo Han had the opportunity to report to the outside, except for these guards, he couldn't see a strange figure at all. For a long time, Zuo Han stood under an osmanthus tree in front of the house for a long time, looking up to the sky and sighing, restless.
Zuo Han's negative emotions made the three maids also worried. Of course, they knew where Zuo Han's unhappiness came from, but they didn't know how to persuade him. But fortunately, Peach is a very smart and clever girl, and she knows that blindly applying pressure may be counterproductive, so she intends to find a way in other aspects. For example, rehearsing some beautiful dances and singing some beautiful songs, I want to divert Zuo Han's attention. But with little success.
In the evening of this day, the sunset was like fire, and Zuo Han was still as usual, sullenly spreading back and forth in the small garden in front of the house. The weather was getting hotter and hotter day by day, and it wasn't long before he was sweating profusely. Miss Meizhen stepped forward, wiped his sweat twice, and persuaded him softly, "Daxia, don't take a walk yet, just sit quietly and enjoy the shade." Zuo Han sat down according to his words, and Miss Xinlan was busy fanning him again. Their meticulous service touched Zuo Han's heart. Left Bank laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not unhappy living with you. In fact, I feel happy to have you here. I was just uneasy because I was under house arrest for the first time and the weather was a bit hot. β
The peach girl smiled, "The hero used to crisscross the rivers and lakes at will, but now he can only live in this small courtyard, and he is in a bad mood, we can all understand it." As for the hot weather, it doesn't matter, there is an ice cellar next door to this compound. If the hero is interested, we can talk to the guards and ask them to bring me some ice. β
"And such a thing?" Zuo Han's spirit was shocked.
"Yes, this ice cellar is said to be so big that it doesn't run out of ice every year. Year after year, the amount is staggering. Pink Girl explained with a smile.
"Is it so big?" Zuo Han thought for a moment and hesitated, "If the collection of ice cubes is indeed large, it must occupy a large space. And it's right next door to us. Can it be said that under our yard, is where the ice cellar is located?" Zuo Han couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and asked hurriedly.
The pink girl said, "Then I don't know." Listening to you say that, it's really possible to be under our yard. β
Zuo Han smiled, "That's very good." Wouldn't it be nice for us to dig a tunnel and go down to the dog days, and when the dog days come, we will take some ice cubes and enjoy them every day?" he said, and immediately took a shovel from the house, and dug it down towards the yard next door. The three girls looked at each other, shocked and frightened.
While Zuo Han was working, he comforted them, "Don't be afraid. I'll take care of what happens. Among the three girls, the Xinlan girl was the most uncontrollable, and she said with some displeasure, "If something really happens, it will definitely not be borne by you, I'm afraid it will be borne by the heads of the three of us." β
When Zuo Han heard this, the movements in his hands suddenly stopped, "What should I do then?"
Miss Xinlan said, "Then what else can you do? Of course, you should stop immediately and bury the hole so that no one can detect it." Miss Meizhen also said, "If it's just a few ice cubes, why bother so much, let's go to the guards and ask for more." As long as you can eat eggs, why bother to see what that hen looks like?"
Miss Xinlan's statement made Zuo Han feel a little funny. When he saw that the three girls were so resolute in their opposition, he was embarrassed to go on any longer. He put down the shovel, took Miss Xinlan's little hand, and also took Miss Lameizhen's little hand, and apologized to the two girls, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I won't be naughty anymore." Zuo Han put Miss Xinlan on his shoulder, grabbed Miss Meizhen's sleeve, and laughed, "If you don't dig, you won't dig, but you all have to make some compensation for me tonight." The four of them laughed and walked to the bedroom, naturally another affection.
In the middle of the night, Zuo Han was suddenly awakened by a roaring dog barking. In the night, I don't know how many dogs howled together, mixed with people's yelling and shouting, as if something big had happened. Zuo Han jumped up from the bed, only to find that there was no one on the bed. Miss Peach is gone, and neither are Miss Meizhen and Miss Xinlan. This couldn't help but make him a little flustered. Zuo Han and these three girls get along every day, and they already have some deep and shallow feelings, if it is because of himself, he brings bad luck to the three of them, then Zuo Han will really regret it. Fortunately, after Zuo Han got out of bed, he soon found that the three girls were staying in the place he had dug before, and they were very busy. They had a clear division of labor, with Lady Pink digging into the hole, Miss Meizhen being in charge of removing the thrown dirt, and Miss Xinlan, who was quick-eyed, hiding behind a curtain and looking out full-time. After the initial surprise, Zuo Han was shocked and said, "What are you doing here?
Seeing Zuo Han coming, the three girls stopped what they were doing. The pink girl also crawled out of the bottom of the cave, she was sweating profusely, and explained to Zuo Han, "Don't blame the hero. We also discussed it, and we both thought that this ice cellar might be very important to you, so we wanted to help you. β
"What if someone finds out? I'd rather never be in this ice cellar than have anything bad happen to you. Zuo Han said angrily.
Seeing that Zuo Han cared about them very much, the three girls were very happy. They also explained Zuo Han and said, "Hero, please rest assured, the dog barking outside is so loud that no one can find out that we are digging." β
Zuo Han said worriedly, "The dog barking so loudly is indeed a cover, but it is also a clue." When the day comes, won't people come to check on where the dogs started barking, and why did they bark? They will soon be able to follow this flaw. When it was discovered that it was our people in the courtyard who had done the tricks, it was necessary to enter the courtyard for a detailed examination. With such a big hole and so much freshly turned dirt, even a fool knows that there is something famous in it. I'll see how you deal with it?"
The RosΓ© girl was a little incredulous, "No, isn't it?, this dog is a wild dog, and he likes to roam around the yard, so we took the opportunity to break one of his legs with a broom, and make him bark incessantly." Even if someone came to investigate, it wouldn't be such an obvious chain of evidence, would it? Why should they come in and search? Isn't the hero a little too nervous?"
Zuo Han smiled bitterly, "I hope I'm too nervous, not that you're too casual." But be prepared, and do as I am. β
