Chapter 16 Knowing People and Knowing Faces
Chai Qi saw him raise his eyebrows, and felt strange for a moment, but he still walked to his table, pointed to the large oil stain on the table, and said, "Here, the meat that my cousin-in-law gave me is ready for lunch." But when I came back from the rice, the meat was gone, and the oiled paper bag wrapped in the meat was under your table. Someone saw you going out at the latest, sneaky, and said, Did you steal the meat? ”
When the words fell, others talked about it, and they didn't believe it all after listening carefully, but no one stood up to speak.
Shen Laibao looked at Chai Qi, and stopped talking, not because he was blocked and couldn't speak, but because he really wanted to swear, he asked, "Who is the so-called person who saw me sneaking out?" ”
Chai Qiyi, who had been prepared, pulled out his little follower Sun Ji, "He." ”
Sun Ji straightened up, "Yes, I saw with my own eyes, you sneaked out with something hidden in your arms." ”
Shen Laibao glanced at him and made it clear that it was a frame-up, but this kind of frame-up method was simply pediatric. However, his image is a fool, and he can even grab what Hua Ling eats, let alone someone else's. Mingzhou City is so big, it is spread from ten to hundred, and there must be some classmates in the academy who have admired his name for a long time.
So it's not surprising that everyone looks at him suspiciously now.
The clock had been ringing for half a moment, and Mr. Fang saw the noise here, so he came over to take a look. Listening to the shouting of people, he roughly heard the cause and effect, and squeezed forward to ask the three of them, and suddenly heard Shen Laibao say.
"I've got a way to catch the real meat stealer."
The voice is not hurried, neither humble nor arrogant, even if it is immature, but it is also quite courageous. Mr. Fang can already see Shen Laibao's face here, the face that is only ten years old, no panic, no dullness, like a little general, standing with his hands down, confident and a little arrogant.
Chai Qi said, "Where do you want any way, you are the meat thief, Sun Ji saw it with his own eyes." ”
"But I'm not the last one to leave here."
"Where's the witness?"
Shen Laibao paused, he wanted to say that Qin Qin saw it, but after thinking about it, if she came out to testify, what if Chai Qi turned to her for trouble in the future? He couldn't look at her for twelve hours, and if people secretly followed her to protect her, he might scare other little girls.
In an instant, he decided that he didn't plan to ask Qin Qin to testify. Unexpectedly, Qin Qin suddenly stood up and said, "Shen Laibao is not the last to leave, on the contrary, you two are." ”
Shen Laibao was quite surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that she would have the courage to stand up and testify for herself.
Chai Qi didn't expect someone to come out to testify against him, he glared at Qin Qin, but the criticism of the people around him continued, compared to him, the little girl's words were easier to gain the trust of others. He then asked, "What can you do to prove your innocence?" ”
Shen Laibao said, "Under the loquat tree in front of the dining hall, there is a little yellow dog that will help me find out who stole the meat. Do you dare to go? ”
He fed it for a few days, and the puppy was already very close to him. But after all, it's not trained and won't understand what he's going to do. It's just that the oily paper bag wrapped in meat is still there, and the dog is afraid that it will pounce directly on Chai Qi, who has touched the meat, this is "manslaughter", but since Chai Qi is wronging him, it will be wrong, and it is good to catch him.
As for his accomplice Sun Ji, Shen Laibao was sure that he was the one who stole the meat and threw the oiled paper bag under his table, and the puppy would definitely find out to pounce on him, so it was just right.
Chai Qi sneered when he heard this, "That's a soil dog, and there is no spirit." ”
Shen Laibao said seriously, "It's not a spirit, it's a fairy dog." ”
The onlookers couldn't help laughing, it was really a fool, obviously a dirt dog.
Qin Qin, who testified for him, also blushed a little, no matter how high the heart wall was, his face was thin, and he couldn't stand the burning eyes around him, and his face became hot. Looking at Shen Laibao from time to time, I feel that I have done something wrong by standing up.
Shen Laibao's face was already thicker than the Great Wall, and he smiled slightly, slightly provocative, "So do you want to try it?" Or are you weak-hearted? ”
Chai Qi expected him to be a mess of nonsense, just go and see him mess up! It will be interesting to see what else he can do to escape.
When Mr. Fang saw that a few people were about to come out, he stepped aside and did not come forward. Curious, he quietly followed behind.
Shen Laibao can't be 100% sure that the puppy will pounce on people, if it doesn't work, then he can only find another way. On the way, he thought carefully about other ways to get himself out, others had to frame him, even if there was no evidence, others would point fingers at him in the future.
When he was almost under the loquat tree, the little yellow dog, who was sleeping on the ground, immediately stood up and barked in this direction. When he saw that it was Shen Laibao who was in the lead, he whined twice and stopped screaming.
Shen Laibao stepped forward quickly, touched its head, and untied the rope from the tree. If the dog wants to bite, he can pull it immediately. He took out the oiled paper bag and placed it under its nose.
The puppy thought that he was going to feed himself again, licked the remaining oil stains inside, and found that there was only meat and no meat, and he whined twice, very aggrieved.
Shen Laibao took the oil paper bag, threw it towards the crowd, quickly withdrew his hand, and hid it behind his back, "Xiao Huang, the meat is there." ”
The puppy's eyes were shiny and he looked into the crowd. When the students saw the gesture it was about to pounce, they screamed in fright and dispersed.
"Wang!"
As soon as the dog barked, the puppy pulled its legs and ran to the right, and almost after running four or five steps, he jumped up, pounced on a man, and sniffed into his arms.
Shen Laibao, who had been prepared for a long time, stepped forward quickly, smiled at Sun Ji, who was trembling and was pounced, reached out to pick up the puppy, and threw things again. The puppy jumped to the ground, jumped twice, raised his chin and sniffed slightly, looked at the loquat tree, and rushed over with his legs.
Shen Laibao looked back, and the person hiding behind the tree was Chai Qi.
Chai Qi was stunned, leaned over and picked up the stone, and threw it without thinking about it. Fortunately, the puppy reacted quickly and avoided it, but it bared its teeth and was already about to bite.
Shen Laibao snorted and hurriedly pulled the dog leash, there is no rabies vaccine these days, so you can't let it bite.
On weekdays, the puppy is docile and never makes dangerous movements. But Chai Qi threw stones at it, also looking for death. When Chai Qi saw that the dog was about to pounce, he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and cried bitterly.
Mr. Fang, who was a step late, stepped forward, and Shen Laibao saw him looking at the puppy, and leaned over to pick up the dog.
Mr. Fang frowned, "Nonsense, dogs are not human, they don't understand human nature, how can they untie the rope lightly?" ”
Shen Laibao, who had been holding the rope tightly from beginning to end, looked up at him and said, "Yes, dogs are different from people, but sometimes, dogs are more humane than people, at least in his eyes, they are divided by good and bad, not by intelligence." He was silent for a moment, but he still couldn't hold back, looked at the pair of eyes that turned straight into his face, and said, "Chai Qi and Sun Ji teamed up to slander me, many of you should have seen that I left early, not the last one to stay in the house." But only one person testifies to me, and you succumb to power at a young age, and even if you are an official in the future, you will be a dumb official; Even if he is a civilian, he has no righteousness in his bones. ”
He coldly swept towards Chai Qi, who was still stunned, "Even if Shen Laibao is a fool, you don't have the reasonable right to bully him." No one but himself could bully him like that. ”
Chai Qi, who was caught by a dog and didn't know what was going on, looked at him in a daze, and met his gaze, only to realize what he had always felt was wrong - Shen Laibao's eyes were obviously more normal than normal people, but he didn't notice it.
Chai Qi was speechless, and Sun Ji was also so frightened that he was silent, whether it was a false accusation or not, everyone present knew it in their hearts.
Shen Laibao hugged the dog and planned to leave, he had already inquired about this dog, it was found by the cook outside the door, and there was no trace of the female dog, and he usually fed it with leftovers, and planned to raise it until winter to warm up. He gave the money cook, and let him keep it under the loquat tree all the time. But now that it's like this, Chai Qi is likely to get angry with the dog.
Anyway, he's thinking about getting a dog, so let's take it home.
Mr. Fang was just frightened by his eyes, and what he said also made him think about it, and when he saw him leave, he didn't stop him.
Where is the young master of the Shen family a fool, it is clearly a spirit bead.
Qin Qin saw him leaving, and quickly followed, and only called him when he left the dining hall and there was no one around.
Shen Laibao looked back and saw that it was her, and the tense face just now softened, "Thank you for helping me testify just now." ”
Qin Qin said, "I also tell the truth about small things. It's just that...... It's not good that you just contradicted Mr. like that. ”
"If Mr. Fang is such a pedantic gentleman, it's a big deal for me to change to a different academy."
Qin Qin smiled, "You are really bold, but this time, you will also return your innocence." ”
"Yes."
"In the future, I guess they won't dare to slander you casually."
It would be great if this was the case, not only for classmates, but also for the future, why would Chai Qi do this...... Just for the sake of a momentary pleasure.
Shen Laibao shook his head, not understanding the psychology of these little bullies, "I have to go home and settle my dog, are you afraid of Chai Qi?" You helped me, I'm afraid he'll get you in trouble. ”
"He shouldn't have the heart to trouble me right now." Qin Qin said, "You go back, see you tomorrow." ”
Shen Laibao saw that she didn't look scared at all, and thought that she was not going to suffer, so he nodded and left. Coming out of the academy, because it was not yet time to release the hall, the Shen family's carriage had not yet come. He led the dog and walked home slowly, and when he had money, he took the money and bought a piece of meat for the dog to eat, and two pieces of baked bread.
Slowly walked to the house, and it was not time to let go of the hall, he was a little afraid that Father Shen would beat him up without asking, and when he saw that the gate of Hua's house was open, he simply turned inside to find Xiaohua to play.
Hua Ling had just gotten up from a nap, and was washing her face when she heard a dog barking in the yard, and asked curiously, "Mama, how did I hear a dog barking in the yard?" ”
Mama Ge also felt strange, it didn't sound like it was outside the house, but there was no dog at home. She was just about to go out to ask, but the next person said outside, "Girl, the young master of the Shen family has come to play with you." ”
As soon as Hua Ling heard this, she put the wet handkerchief in the basin and went out to find him. Mama Ge thought about it after her and said, "Huh? Didn't the young master of the Shen family go to the academy today? ”
"yes." Hua Ling tilted her head, not knowing why he came back at this hour. But don't worry, I'll be able to ask later.
No matter how many times you come to the pavilion, you can't get tired of looking at it, this pavilion is actually similar to what the Shen family built, it is also tall, the eaves are heavy, and it is covered with gray tube tiles, which looks magnificent. But the Shen family's buildings are big and numerous, so they are very messy.
But the rockery outside the pavilion of the flower house is low, the green bamboo is verdant and tender, and it does not compete with the pavilion that rises from the ground, but it is lined as if standing in the heaven and earth, which is quite atmospheric.
Shen Laibao is training the little yellow dog in the gazebo, and he is idle anyway. As soon as he saw Hua Ling coming, he waved his hand at her, and Hua Ling saw a puppy in the pavilion from a distance, and the hair on his body was still very fine, fluffy, like a pale yellow dress.
She crouched down to take a closer look and asked, "Brother Noble, where did you get the dog from?" ”
"In the academy."
"By the way, are you letting go?"
"Nope." Shen Laibao thought about it, leave early? Play truant? Play truant? This is simply not a good example, he finally said, "If you want to put the puppy in place, go home first." ”
"Puppies are so cute, don't bite, right?"
"Don't bite." Shen Laibao added, "If you don't throw a stone at it, it won't bite." ”
Hua Ling looked at him and felt quite weird, "Who is so annoying that they can throw stones?" ”
Shen Laibao really wanted to report Chai Qi's name, so he said with a smile, "It's just an analogy." By the way, do you want to eat pancakes, I bought two, one for each person. I heard that the green onion cake in that shop is quite famous, so I brought two back. ”
Hua Ling blinked, "One for one person?" ”
"Yes, one for each person."
Hua Ling's brows slowly gathered, twisted and twisted, and finally said, "Brother Noble ...... You don't like to eat dry stuff, so you never eat pancakes. ”
Shen Laibao slammed it.
