That night, because he had been out for half a day, he had somewhat consumed his energy, so although he was not in a good mood, Sheng Weiqiao still fell asleep very early. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
It was only in the middle of the night that she was awakened by the sound of crackling rain, and when she opened her eyes, the wood-pasted gold-inlaid bird pattern jade palace lamp used for night lighting by the couch was afraid that it would be too bright and affect her sleep, so she took a foot-high four-fold plain yarn screen to circle it, only leaking hazy light.
Between the shadows and buildings, I saw a black patch outside the porthole, and the rapid sound of rain seemed to hit people's hearts every bit and drop.
It was as if it was pouring rain between the whole heaven and the earth at this moment.
I don't know whether the hull of the ship below is uncontrollable to the beating of the raindrops, or to move with the waves of the sea, it is an even and slow sway, but under the background of the rain like a dense drumbeat, it makes people indescribably bored and anxious.
Sheng Weiqiao lay down on the couch for a while, always feeling uncertain, so he got up, stepped barefoot on the rose and purple bat-patterned gold woven gold in the inner room, and planned to close the window with a crack.
It's just that when I got to the window and listened to the rumbling rain outside, I couldn't help but open it again to look outside.
The window opened, and the fishy sea breeze swept in with rain and water vapor, this place was already better north than Nanfeng County, and it was the middle of the night, Sheng Weiqiao, who was only wearing a middle coat, suddenly shivered, and subconsciously hugged his shoulders.
Outside the window was the vast darkness, and the rain said that it woke her up, but in fact it was not so noisy.
Because there is only rain, and no thunder and lightning.
It was as black as ink that had been repeatedly grinded, and it was so viscous that it almost solidified.
The light filtered by the plain screen behind him could not shine outside the window lattice at all, and there seemed to be endless secrets hidden in the dark night, so silently and gently stayed outside the window, like a behemoth, looking at Sheng Weiqiao in the cabin peacefully.
"With such a heavy rain, I don't know if there will be big winds and waves on the sea?" Sheng Weiqiao was inexplicably frightened by such a night, staring wide-eyed and trying to look out, but he couldn't even see the side of the boat clearly.
However, the wind and rain hit the face, although it was a little cold, the boredom in my heart was gradually dissipating, and I felt a lot more relaxed.
After thinking about it, she turned back to the couch, took out the jade palace lamp with wood and gold intarsia and bird pattern from the plain gauze screen, protected the candle flame in it with her hand, lest the wind blow it out, and carefully took it to the window and looked out, trying to see the movement on the sea.
Before she could reach the window, she could barely reach the sea, so she could barely illuminate the lower floor, the cabin where the sleeping crane lived, and then, as if she had seen a black shadow crawl out of the sea, and suddenly burrowed into the window of the cabin where the sleeping crane was!!
Sheng Weiqiao's frightened hand loosened, and the jade palace lamp with gold intarsia and bird pattern fell from his fingers!
"Good girl, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing with the wind and rain open?"
Although this light can't shine in many places, and it doesn't even reflect his face, fortunately, the familiar voice is as good as ever, but I don't know if it's too late, Sheng Sleeping Crane's tone is not as gentle as usual, as if it is contaminated with the coldness of the night wind and rain, and he scolded lightly, "Hurry up and close the window and settle it well!"
Sheng Weiqiao was shocked and said, "Brother, you still say that I, why are you not even in your room on this big night?"
She actually couldn't see the sampan clearly, but estimated the distance between the palace lamp and the window, thinking that Sheng Sleeping Crane would be on the sea, not a little lower than the side of the building boat, and she could guess that it must be a small boat like a sampan.
In order to prevent accidents, there are several sampans used for emergency escape.
"Close the window and settle it immediately, or I'll see how I clean you up tomorrow!" However, Sheng Sleeping Crane did not answer her, only repeated it again, and in the dark night, he could not see his movements clearly, and saw that the lamp in his hand suddenly moved, and it swept up very quickly, and it rolled over the high side of the ship like a tanuki, and jumped into the house of Sleeping Crane after a few ups and downs.
Sheng Weiqiao was both inexplicable and a little angry, listened attentively, and saw that the sound of the wind and rain could not hear the movement of Sheng Sleeping Crane after returning to the room, so he fell on the window unhappily and threw his hand back to the couch.
But in the end, I was curious, after lying down for a while, I rolled my eyes, got up again, opened a gilded parrot Ganoderma lucidum tea bowl from the table, searched the house for a long time, and finally found an empty corner, which could tear out a little gap in the gold woven gold with a bat pattern on a rose purple background, buckle the tea bowl upside down, and eavesdrop the sound below.
This will be because the doors and windows are closed, the disturbance of the rain is minimized, and there is a tea bowl and the sound of the floor, and sure enough, there is no longer nothing.
I heard that there seemed to be a heavy object dragging underneath, as if he was moving a large box, and it seemed to be moving a large item such as a screen - this made Sheng Weiqiao feel very puzzled: "In the middle of the night, my brother is not in the room, not to mention running to the sea to take a small sampan, what will this be tossing?!"
If it weren't for the fact that at this hour, she was afraid of alarming everyone, she really wanted to get up and run down immediately to ask for an understanding!
Just thinking about it, he saw that the sound of carrying heavy objects below finally stopped, and then it seemed that someone was talking - but the sound of the human voice was much quieter than the movement of heavy objects, and it was not only Sheng Weiqiao who was worried that the movement of the third watch in the middle of the night would be too loud and noisy for other people who were sleeping, so instead of speaking loudly, this person deliberately suppressed his voice a little.
This caused Sheng Weiqiao, who was eavesdropping, to only hear the hum of shadows even if he put his ears on the bowl, and he couldn't hear what he was saying at all!
The more she did this, the more anxious she became, and she couldn't help but pull away a piece of the rose purple bat-patterned gold slicer, trying to move the tea bowl to find a better position—and then when she did so, she suddenly found a square piece of wood on the floor, which was different from the other colors, about the size of a baby's palm, and stood out in the uniform wenge wood floor.
Sheng Weiqiao noticed it, felt strange, and pressed it casually, so something terrible suddenly happened!
Before she could remove her hand from the wooden block, her body suddenly emptied, and the floor, which seemed to be very tightly seamed, suddenly opened two doors facing downward, and threw the unsuspecting Sheng Weiqiao directly into it!
"Bang!"
In the cabin on the second floor, in front of the red sandalwood edge gold lacquer dotted green glazed ground screen, Sheng Sleeping Crane had just noticed a movement above his head, and saw a figure smashed down with lightning speed, and fell heavily on the scarlet land five sons Dengke picked up the gold wire!
He and two of his subordinates who were discussing the matter at the same time and drew their daggers at the same time!
However, just when they were about to ignore the three-seven twenty-one and subdue the people first, they were surprised to find that this person who was wearing a middle coat, his hair was messy, and he was lying on the cloth and moaning weakly, it was Sheng Weiqiao!
“…… Good girl, what are you?" Sheng Sleeping Crane turned his wrist, put away his weapon, walked out quickly from behind the Tieli elephant pattern warping case, stepped forward to check Sheng Weiqiao's situation, and at the same time gestured to his subordinates to leave first.
The two of them silently exited the door with a wooden face, and only after leaving the second floor completely and returning to the cabin where they lived at the bottom, they couldn't help laughing: Although this building ship belongs to the Sheng family, because it has long been designated for Sheng Sleeping Crane to catch the exam, as Sheng Sleeping Crane's henchmen, they were also arranged to get familiar with it early in the morning.
How could they not know about the small mechanism that leads to the second floor of the cabin on the third floor?
Speaking of which, this design was originally for unexpected considerations, because the building ship is divided into three floors, and the top floor is often either a female dependent, or a person who is close to it, and this kind of person is often powerless.
As a result, although the three-story cabin has a very good view and is bright enough, once there is an accident on this floor, such as a fire, they often have little ability to save themselves.
Therefore, when it was built, a "door" was specially left to communicate with the second floor, so that the delicate and frail residents could quickly evacuate the third floor through this way when needed - after all, if the door of the third-story cabin was blocked, or without this mechanism, the people living in it could only jump out of the window if they wanted to leave.
Falling from the third floor to the second floor is safer than jumping directly from the third-story porthole to the deck or the sea.
In particular, the cabin on the second floor is also paved with a thick layer of canopy - so although this will be an accident-proof design, it has become Sheng Weiqiao's accident, but it shouldn't be a big problem - but then again, this mechanism is located near the center of the room, and it is hidden under the canopy, and the poop is a whole sheet that covers the entire cabin?!
In this way, even if this Miss Sheng San stepped on the mechanism by mistake and had a stump around, it would be impossible for her to fall down - the stump was so thick, so thick that even if it was the ear power of Sheng Sleeping Crane, due to the interference of the rain tonight and the distraction of the discussion, Sheng Weiqiao walked around on it for a long time, and he didn't notice it!
Even Sheng Weiqiao's delicate body, even if he jumps hard towards it, it is impossible to penetrate the sword and fall?
Or did the girl actually know the shortcut and made a special move to enter the house where the sleeping crane was held?
"In front of the leader, we didn't dare to look at it at all, but after a quick glance, the young lady didn't even wear a coat...... This situation fell in front of the leader, and the leader sent us out, and the lonely man and widow were in the same room, ......?" The two of them originally thought it was a little funny, but when they thought of this, their faces changed, "The leader shouldn't tell the young lady about his actions tonight, so before the young lady fell, he probably thought that the leader was alone in the house? The leader and the young lady are brother and sister - we won't be killed, right?!"
When the two of them were frightened, in the cabin on the second floor, Sheng Sleeping Crane was twitching the corners of his mouth, looking at Sheng Weiqiao, who was still in the middle of the night: "Good girl, in the middle of the night, I asked you to settle you and don't listen, what are you doing?!"
Even the mechanism that his subordinates knew, of course he knew—so he would know what was going on with a guess, and it would be ridiculous, and he poked the girl on the ground with his finger, resisted the urge to look up to the sky and sigh, and asked, "How is it? Does it matter? Can you get up by yourself?"
“…… You tell me to calm down!!" After a while, Sheng Weiqiao came to his senses, stopped the instinctive moan caused by pain, and looked at him with no love - at this time, Sheng Sleeping Crane was half-kneeling beside her, the man's sword eyebrows were flying, and his low-hanging eyelashes were extraordinarily slender and thick, dragging out a deep shadow under the lamp, and the eyes in the shadow were as cold as stars, bright as the blade light when it was out of the sheath, and there was a little concern and helplessness in the edge that had not yet been exhausted.
Sheng Weiqiao looked at him for a moment, and suddenly felt endless grievances welling up in his heart, he was too lazy to bear it, and cried directly, crying with grief and indignation, "Who did that mechanism?!I must kill him!!"
