46. Half 03
"Speaking of the ancestor of the Ai family, wormwood, he was originally a sister-in-law of a family of cultivating immortals, but his fate was ill-fated, and when he tested the spiritual root at the age of twenty-four, he was found to be a five-spirit root, and the best thing for cultivating immortals is naturally a single spiritual root, which is gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, of course, there are also mutated spiritual roots, such as thunder spirit roots, ice spirit roots, but what about the five spirit roots, that is the waste wood in the waste materials, wormwood was ruthlessly abandoned by the family, and was bullied by the concubines in the family and fell off the cliff. But as the saying goes, 'I am born to be useful', 'If you don't die in a great disaster, you will be blessed'——"
Hmm, this is when Ai Ye was asked by Erin about the "parallel universe theory", Ai Ye was unusual, not secretive, but talked about the origin of the Ai family like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
This is the beginning, and in the middle is naturally wormwood adventures, and then he embarked on the ruthless road, determined to become a generation of sword cultivators, and finally became the first person to become an immortal with the best waste material physique of the five spirit roots since ancient times.
Ai Ye said with her eyebrows fluttering, her heart surging, and she asked her baby girl what she thought after taking a sip of Coke.
"Let's not talk about the chaotic logic of 'cutting and sorting out and messing', a number of irreplaceable loopholes, and several idioms and grammatical errors, just as far as the story itself is concerned, it is not without remarkability." Ai Ye didn't have time to be happy, so his baby girl asked him very firmly: "Hmm, are you stringing together a few online novels?" ”
Ai Ye: "...... Baba can't understand what you're saying? ”
"Or this story that integrates determination, blood, sensationalism, love and hatred, how long have you been working on the manuscript?" Erin said and turned on her phone in front of her father, and it was a web novel on it, "Don't you say that the ancestors of the Ai family have traveled into a novel that has only been serialized on the Internet this year, and this, this-" Erin slid the phone screen, and didn't think it was enough to give Ai Ye, who was trying her best to hold on, and she said slowly: "Do you know that you automatically changed the name of the Ai family's ancestor Wormwood?" More than one has been changed. ”
Ai Ye: "...... Said the string. ”
"Obviously," Erin gave the coffin a final conclusion, and then sighed slightly, "Daddy, there is also a very important point, you are very secretive about your previous experience, and this time you sued me so easily, it is obviously not normal." You're right, I knew you were fooling me from the beginning. ”
Ai Ye's original aura that was not strong in front of the baby girl suddenly became weaker, like a candle flame, and now there is a small breeze blowing, and he expects Ai Ai to say: "Then why are you still ......?" ”
Erin smiled brightly at Ai Ye: "Because I want to hear you, Daddy." As soon as he finished speaking, he got a passionate bear hug from Ai Ye, and Ai Ye was so moved that he couldn't find the north: "Baba's intimate little padded jacket, Baba also loves you!" ”
Erin's eyebrows habitually bulged, but she didn't push her father away, and said coldly, "So what are you hiding from the words?" What does it have to do with my background? ”
"Ba Ba is not going to tell you, you are Ba Ba drank the water of the Zimu River and gave birth - hey!" Don't doubt that the Amy wanted to silence the words, but he accidentally bit his tongue, and he wanted to grab the ground with his head in pain. In fact, he really threw himself to the ground, exuding an aura of lovelessness all over his body, and muttered in his mouth: "There was once a tight-lipped opportunity in front of me, I didn't cherish it, if I was given another chance - by the way, time goes back!" He got up from the floor with a carp and pulled out of his mustard seed space, and in the blink of an eye there was no clearing around him.
Erin: "...... So is it the Zimu River near the daughter country? ”
Ai Ye didn't want to think about it, so he accosted: "That's right, it's that Zimu River!" ”
Erin's expression became subtle, and she tentatively said, relying on her knowledge of her father, "And you drank it out of pure curiosity?" ”
"Yes, yes, Linlin, what you said is so right-" Ai Ye finally realized that something was wrong again, he turned his head to look at Erin in a posture that he could turn his head and turn the world, and then spoke after being silent: "Linlin, you actually know that Zimu River!" ”
"Can I understand what you say to mean that there is more than one 'Mother and Zi River'? But it doesn't matter, we can talk about this matter slowly, and what I want to tell you is, Daddy, I only know this Zimu River, and I still read "Journey to the West", one of the four famous novels. ”
Ai Ye: "...... In fact, "Journey to the West" is also very good. ”
Erin raised an eyebrow: "Movie? ”
"Hmm." Ai Ye originally wanted to give the baby girl a detailed Anli, so she smiled at the baby girl, Ai Ye shook and said, "Linlin, your offensive spirit has become stronger." ”
Erin directly ignored the 'strange words' that came out of Ai Ye's mouth, lowered her eyes and said in an indistinguishable tone: "So just because I was born from you drinking the water of the Zimu River, you feel unspeakable?" Think it's a stain you can't let go? ”
"It's good to give Baba a bag of decontamination powder, no, Baba is not the Demon King." Ai Ye involuntarily answered.
Erin: "...... The Lich King? I thought you were a sword cultivator? ”
Ai Ye: "...... Baba yes, but Baba is really not dirty! ”
……
……
The sensational atmosphere that Erin had just created was broken up, and the gap between her and her father's two generations was defeated, and she realized that she would rather go on that real date with Sherlock than solve the case together, just like before.
But that didn't sound realistic, as far as the two of them were on their separate sides at the moment, so now she had to figure out what her dad meant by 'case-by-case analysis'. However, it is not as unrealistic as Comrade Xiao Ai thought, in solving the case as before-
Before Erin appeared, Sherlock Consulting Detective Holmes had a friend, and he once introduced her when he invited Erin to share 221B with her, that is, Mr. Skull - in fact, Mr. Skull originally wanted to float with his skull after becoming a Piao, but being friends with the consulting detective made him too 'flattered', so he carried his head and floated on Baker Street, and there were many ghosts on Baker Street with whom he shared a common language - Sherlock often went out with Mr. Skull in his arms and spoke loudly to him, In his own words, it helps him to broaden his mind.
After Erin showed up, Mr. Skull was sent to the cold palace, Mrs. Hudson thought it was good, Mr. Skull's ghost thought it was good, the Scotland Yard team thought it was good, and now they had seen Sherlock's new favorite, a cell phone, the one Erin left behind.
"See what?" Sherlock asked.
By the way, they are now watching the surveillance tape in Lestrade's office, which of course has been processed by the British government, and now the case is back in the hands of Scotland Yard, and according to the charter, Inspector Lestrade is responsible for the investigation.
"Sherlock, let's not say what I see, I haven't asked you how you know about the Sniper-" Before Lestrade could finish speaking, another voice rang out in his office, a crisp female voice, "Like you said, the Sniper switches between a fatal wound and a leg injury, and he does this to hide his skills, and possibly to hide his true target." ”
Lestrade: "...... Erin? ”
"Quiet, you've influenced us to think!" Sherlock rightly ordered Inspector Good, and Lestrade suddenly regretted not letting Anderson in, and it was Anderson's guy who usually suffered Sherlock's sneering, "God bless me." The Inspector muttered.
God probably heard the Inspector's prayers, and after scavenging the case files about the sniper serial case, Sherlock drove away from Scotland Yard without turning Scotland Yard upside down. Anderson came out unconsciously: "The freak has not been in a normal relationship recently, is it broken?" No, that guy is out of place for a long time, he's already raped us all over the place, okay! From physical to mental. ”
Lestrade squirted out a mouthful of coffee, "Anderson, I must be disgusted by you if I can't eat lunch." ”
Anderson: "...... I'm so glad I saved you money for lunch, do you want to save money for dinner? Before he could continue, Lestrade stuffed himself with a ball of paper, perhaps Anderson needed a bag of decontamination powder.
Erin sighed slightly while waiting for her phone to receive the text from Sherlock, "Sherlock, do you know that the two of us have a time difference of eight time zones now?" ”
"So I'm helping you adjust to the jet lag for free," Sherlock smiled deliberately over the screen to his girlfriend, "You're welcome." ”
Erin was flashed by her boyfriend's flying folds on the screen: "...... I've been back for two days now. ”
Sherlock's Sherlock-esque smirk flickered as ever, and he offered another excuse with a blank face: "That helps keep your mind active and keeps your head from rusting." ”
"In fact, when you texted me to invite me out with you, I was digesting the jade slip my dad threw me, about a non-scientific version of the parallel universe theory." Ai Ye didn't want to face the crushing IQ of his baby girl, as well as his black history, so he directly carved part of what he knew into jade Jane for Erin. The contents of the jade slip can be imprinted directly in her mind, Erin is now digesting it, and based on what she knows now, she doesn't know how to tell Sherlock that she shouldn't go back so soon, of course, she can't fully confirm it yet. Erin pursed the corners of her lips and said to her boyfriend, who seemed to be in good spirits, "Sherlock, you haven't slept for twenty hours, why don't you go back and sleep?" When you wake up, I should have read all the contents of the jade slip. ”
Sherlock said nonchalantly, "I don't need to." ”
"Well," Erin wouldn't be fooled by his disguise, and she thought for a moment to tell her boyfriend, "You go to my room, there's a cardboard box in the second drawer to the left of the desk." ”
Sherlock stepped in: "I want access to your room." ”
Erin's room was locked with a talisman that she usually used to keep out ghosts.
Before Erin could reply, Sherlock squirmed her lower lip and said quickly, "As McCroft always does, I think your death certificate is already being issued, so I should have full access to 221B now." It sounds plausible, but, "Where do you put Mrs. Hudson, the real owner of 221B?" ”
Sherlock reasoned and said, "Compared to my ignorance of Mrs. Hudson, what McCroft did was the really bad one, wasn't it?" ”
Erin smiled and asked in a long tone, "So?" ”
Sherlock said rightly: "Give me permission." ”
"Well, I'll teach you how to get permission," Erin added slowly, "Sherlock, you really need to rest, you see I told you what's in my room drawer, and I'll have to teach you how to get in before then, don't you?" ”
Sherlock: "...... I'm being a gentleman who respects the lady. It was so high-sounding and funny that his girlfriend was laughing so hard that tears were coming out of her eyes, and Sherlock's face darkened, but when he saw what Erin said was going to give him, he ended the video call without thinking about it, so as not to let his girlfriend see his face turned red from the reflection of the box of paper roses.
There were no more paper roses, twenty-one in all, which represented exactly twenty-one hours from the beginning of their cold war to the time when Erin was asked away by Mycroft.
Sherlock, who had received great benefits from his girlfriend, fell asleep contentedly wrapped in his dark blue dressing gown, in which he had the good fortune to meet a man who claimed to be his girlfriend's boyfriend.
