26. Ten years of white bones (seven)
Chapter 26βTen Years of White Bones (7)
There was not even half a day back and forth from the Yamen to Yangjia Village, and someone reported the case in front of the Yamen, Su Yunkai was busy handling the case, so he asked Bai Shui, who had already gotten up, to accompany Mingyue to the morgue.
As soon as they left on their front feet, Qin Fang came in with a cage, walked around and didn't see Bai Shui, grabbed a servant and asked, "What about Bai Zhu, who can stun a big insect with one punch?" β
The official replied, "It seems that I went to the morgue with Miss Ming." β
Qin Fang trembled, and immediately let him go, all day long, he either dealt with bones or went to the morgue, how could he be so fat.
The servant asked curiously, "What kind of treasure is Master Qin carrying in his hand?" β
Qin Fang said proudly, "Good thing." β
When the officials saw that he was pretending to be a ghost, but he didn't say anything, he went about his own business.
Qin Fang rolled his eyes, smiled weirdly, and walked away with the cage.
&&&&
Mingyue examined it more carefully this time than last time, especially the tail phalanx of her left hand.
The disconnection there is indeed different from other places, pick it up and put it under the lantern to look at it, you can vaguely see a small indentation on the bone, the naked eye has been recognizable to the lamp for a long time, it is very painful. She closed her eyes and slowed down, looking back and forth five or six times before she put the bone back on the twine.
Bai Shui locked the door when she came out, walked to the well to fetch water for her to wash her hands, and said, "This case has been so long, and everyone in the yamen says that Master Su is working in vain. β
"But what if?"
Bai Shui paused and said with a smile, "I used to think that there was only one cow by my side, but now I think there are two." β
Mingyue looked back and forth, "Where is the cow?" β
Bai Shui immediately laughed loudly, and Mingyue reacted at this time, stretching out her wet hand and wiping it on her face. Bai Shui hurriedly avoided it, "It's dirty." β
"Who made you say I'm a cow."
As he spoke, he touched forward again, and Bai Shui dodged to the side, but unexpectedly stepped on the bucket, and suddenly lost his leaning and fell to the ground. Mingyue was startled and hurriedly went to catch her, but where could she hold the person who fell quickly, this grasp was caught, but even she fell down.
Bang bang~
The bucket overturned, spilling two people with water all over their bodies.
Bai Shui was lying in the pool of water, almost fainted because of the bright moon, and said with a tense face, "I've been so confused since I was a child, I don't think you're a cow, you're a bull demon." β
Mingyue couldn't cry or laugh, rubbed her wrist and sat up, and went to pluck her hand, "Are you hurt?" β
Bai Shui sat up suddenly, and said with a smile, "I'm not a delicate little girl like you, go and change your clothes, it's not good to be seen." β
Mingyue looked at the back of her elbow and head uneasily, and made sure that she didn't frown, so she didn't touch it, "Let's go back to the inner office together." β
"You go back first, I'll wait, otherwise a 'man' and a woman will walk together wet, and others will gossip about you."
Mingyue smiled, "Then I'll go." β
Bai Shui answered, and when she was far away, he helped her waist and got up. As soon as I moved, I felt pain everywhere in my neck, back and elbows. She gritted her teeth and walked towards the inner office, and she had to avoid Mingyue walking slowly and bumping into her.
When she returned to her room, she took off her coat, removed the strip of white cloth wrapped around her body, and took medicine and smeared it on the injured area. The front is fine, but the most painful part of the back can't be erased. She wiped a handful of medicine on her hand and applied it with her backhand, but she almost straightened her back and borrowed strength, and finally applied it, almost not bending her waist.
She twisted her waist and suddenly noticed that something was wrong in the room.
I always felt like there was something hidden behind the closet.
She wrinkled her eyebrows, grabbed a coat and put it on, and walked lightly there. The man stood in the closet, and the voice behind him could be heard more clearly. She smiled coldly, ready to split the mouse with her bare hands. The step turned sharply backwards, and he raised his hand and slashed forward.
A rat is indeed a mouse, but it is already frightened silly when it is kept in a cage and carried by a stunned man.
Bai Shui saw that his eyes were uncertain, and suddenly understood that he had not just appeared here, and this look of surprise on his face was enough to show what he saw.
She came back to her senses in an instant, grabbed his collar and pulled it out, flipped it to the ground, and Qin Fang howled in pain, the cage in her hand fell to the ground, and the mouse squeaked and screamed.
"Knock knock."
When there was a knock on the door, Bai Shui immediately pounced on him and covered his mouth, almost killing Qin Fang.
"Is there a rat in the house? The old servant went in and cleaned up. β
The inner servant's voice was not loud, but he was so startled by Bai Shui that he had a cold sweat on his forehead, "No, I can catch it myself." β
The servant chattered again, and heard almost a shout inside, "No! β
Qin Fang's ears, who were pressed under him, couldn't hear her roaring at all, but his eyes widened.
It seemed that for the first time, he noticed that Bai Shui's eyes were so bright and round, and his voice was so thin, it was clearly a girl's family.
But why is the strength so great?!
No, that's not the point.
The point seems to be why the snow-capped mountains in front of you can be tied so flat?!
No, no, that's still not the point.
Yes, the point is that she disguised herself as a man as a servant and deceived his brother-in-law, isn't she afraid of being imprisoned?
This could be a capital offense.
Bai Shui still covered his mouth, and saw that his eyes were rolling on her face and chest, angry, ashamed and annoyed, and he wanted to die with him. After pressing for a while, the sound of people cleaning outside the door disappeared. She gritted her teeth and muttered, "Don't shout." β
Qin Fang blinked.
"Don't look, close your eyes!"
Qin Fang immediately closed his eyes, always feeling that if he didn't close his eyes, he would be poked blind by her.
Bai Shui saw that he closed his eyes, and he was still not at ease, but he had no clothes to block him, so he simply pulled his sleeves to cover his eyes. Qin put down his consciousness and opened his eyes, and saw two red plums faintly reflected on his clothes.
Bai Shui was concentrating on dressing and didn't notice it, Qin Fang took a deep breath and quickly covered his eyes, and silently recited a hundred times This is definitely not the Bai Shui he knows who can carry a cow, this is just his illusion, an illusion. The sound of clothes rustling came into his ears, and he was so red in the face that he couldn't even breathe.
"Alright."
Qin Fang didn't open his eyes immediately, turned around and lay on the ground, only then did he look up and look ahead, "That ......"
"Shut up, don't talk now, and don't talk when you go out, if you tell someone, I'll pull your tongue off."
Qin Fang covered his mouth tightly, and used his tongue to draw a circle in his mouth to confirm its safety, "I won't say it." β
There was no sound behind him for a long time, and he didn't know what Bai Shui was thinking.
Bai Shui didn't know what he was thinking, Qin Fang's personality she knew, she was a gentleman, fun-loving, chattering, and always looked proud. It was hard for her to guarantee that he wouldn't tell anyone about her womanhood when he went out.
If he said it, then the concealment she had done before would be in vain.
She sat down on the ground, but in the end she didn't say anything bad, she had no strength, and her voice was low, "You go." β
When Qin Fang heard this, he opened the door and left without even looking back. When the door was closed, I had to look at her empty, but the room was dark and I couldn't see clearly, I saw her long hair spread out on her chest, one hand clutching her collar, and her face could not be seen with her head buried in it.
He was slightly stunned and closed the door. It just so happened that the cleaning man turned back to pour water, and saw him sticking to the door like a gecko, and looked twice to say hello, Qin Fang nodded, and waved his hand at him again, "Hurry up, I haven't seen me beaten by a white catcher." β
The subordinate immediately couldn't help laughing, he had seen it, he had never seen it, this was not once or twice.
When he left, Qin Fang also ran away quickly, and ran back to his room in shock. He touched his chest again, and it was flat. I was really pressed by two mountains just now, and I was really a woman.
He squatted on the ground and hugged his head, and he didn't even notice that he had been overgrown by flowers.
Bai Shui won't laugh at him behind his back for not having eyes, right?
He remembered one more thing, should he sue his brother-in-law about this?
If Bai Shui's identity is discovered by someone else, it will be enough to sue his brother-in-law by the way, after all, he was promoted from Nanle County.
He let out a long sigh and didn't figure it out until dinner.
Mingyue saw him sigh for a long time, and he hadn't eaten two bites of food after a while, so he couldn't help asking, "Little Marquis, what's wrong with you?" Brother Bai said that he was not feeling well and couldn't come out to eat, are you also unwell? β
As soon as he heard her mention Baishui Qin Fang, he trembled, cheered up, and said to Su Yunkai, "That...... No, I ...... Brother-in-law, do you know her...... That's the ......."
Su Yunkai stopped his chopsticks and frowned at him, "What are you going to say?" β
Qin Fang stammered three or four times, but he didn't say it after all, if he did, Bai Shui would definitely be arrested for the crime of deceiving the court officials, and the punishment was still light, and he might be imprisoned. Although she sometimes doesn't look like a girl, she's still a girl, right?
"Oops! It's nothing! β
"Nothing?"
He shook his head vigorously and said firmly, "Nothing! β
Mingyue said with concern, "Are you uncomfortable again, do you want me to give you two injections." β
Qin was relieved and did not answer. Su Yun said with a straight face, "Eat quickly." β
Qin Fang didn't eat very comfortably at this meal, his mind was full of Bai Shui's face, and Bai Shui sat in front of the door and was silent.
He thought about it before he thought about it, and then he thought of the crux of the problem, he had to ask Bai Shui why he wanted to disguise himself as a man to catch fast. Why does such a peugeot girl come to do hard work to catch fast, isn't this asking for hardship?
Thinking of this, he finally didn't bother whether to sue his brother-in-law or not, at least until he figured out the truth.
And isn't his brother-in-law quite reasonable, maybe those reasons can convince him?
Thinking about it, he immediately walked to Bai Shui's room.
He was still swaggering when he came, and when he reached the door, he raised his hand and sensed the embarrassment of the afternoon. He hesitated for a moment, but knocked on the door.
"Who?"
His voice was hoarse, as if he had cried. Compared to this weak and powerless white water, Qin Fang would rather face the white water that could carry the cow, he breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "I." β
