Chapter 161: Roasted Crane (I)
Taking Wang Qian all the way to the attic where he lived, Liu Tianci turned his head and said, "Wang Shao, you are too anxious, right?" I just returned to Shuangjiang, and you came with me, and I have time to think about it, after all, it is not so easy to take things in my grandfather's study. ”
Although Baihua cast a spell to cover up the frightened memory for Liu Tianci, because of what happened to him in Linshan, no one else knew it, and Baihua only created a dream for him according to the approximate time.
And although this dream successfully covered up the memory of him being frightened, the content of his previous conversation with Wang Gan happened to not be covered up, so Liu Tianci clearly remembered the conversation between Wang Qian and himself.
And when Wang Qian mentioned it, Liu Tianci immediately remembered the matter of gems.
Frowning slightly, Wang Gan was also sure that Liu Tianci seemed to forget all about the ghost at this time, although he didn't know what was going on, but Wang Qian felt that it was very likely that he was too frightened, and chose to have amnesia.
Thinking of Liu Rumeng's words before, and even more so when Liu Tianci mentioned the matter of gems, Wang Qian immediately put the matter of his choice of surname amnesia behind, and said instead: "Liu Shao, are you sure that gem is the symbol of your Liu family?" ”
"Wang Shao, what do you mean by this? Can I still lie to you? Hearing Wang Qian's inexplicable question, Liu Tianci said a little unhappily.
"I don't mean anything else, I believe what you say, but there's something strange right now." Wang Qian said with a frown.
"What's weird?" Liu Tianci asked.
"According to what you said, that gem fragment is a symbol of your Liu family, this should be very important to your family, and it can't be given away for nothing, right?" Wang Qian asked thoughtfully.
"Of course, as far as I know, this gem fragment has not been given to outsiders!" Liu Tianci said firmly.
"That's strange, just now in that attic, I saw that Li Xiao walking down from the upstairs with a gem fragment in his hand!" Wang Qian said very strangely.
"It can't be, right? How could my grandfather give away gem shards? Hearing what Wang Qian said, Liu Tianci didn't believe it at first.
"Do I have to lie to you? By the way, then Li Xiao is still holding the Qilin ruler in his hand, if you don't believe it, we can go over and have a look in a while. Wang Qian said, in order to prove that what he said was true, he said the Qilin ruler, which was relatively large and could not fit in his pocket.
"Kirin ruler? Is it a black jade, like the jade beads around my neck? Hearing Wang Gan's words, Liu Tianci's expression was instantly stunned, and he hurriedly asked with confirmation.
"yes, what's wrong, that town ruler is important?" Seeing Liu Tianci's strange expression, Wang Qian asked in surprise.
"It's not that it's important, but that Moyu Qilin ruler is my grandfather's most beloved thing, every time he sits in the study, he will reach out and touch the ruler, and he won't let people touch it, the baby is the same as anything, this can be given away, so what kind of character is Li Xiao?" Liu Tianci explained, and then asked what kind of character Li Xiao was?
"Li Xiao, it's not just a wild child, you haven't seen it, but I've mentioned it to you a few times." Wang Qian said resentfully.
"That's weird, if he has anything to give away these two things from his grandfather?" Liu Tianci frowned and thought about it, but he couldn't think of a reason, and then said: "In this way, let's go back to the attic over there, I'll go to my grandfather to see the situation, if I can, I'll directly help you get a gem fragment." ”
"Okay, if you can't do it, you don't have to worry too much, I'm thinking of other ways myself." Wang Qian said hypocritically.
"Let's go! Let's see how it goes! Liu Tianci said, and hurriedly left his residence with Wang Qian, and walked briskly towards the attic in the center of the manor.
……
In the living room, Baihua was sitting next to Li Xiao, and Li Xiao held the Qilin ruler in his arms with his left hand, and subconsciously touched it with his right hand, his eyes were a little blank, as if he was thinking about something, and he was obviously not in a state.
On the other hand, Wang Tianli and Liu Yixuan, where did they have a word of nonsense, and Baihua had no interest in listening, seeing Li Xiao's strange expression, he opened his mouth and asked in a low voice: "Lord, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Oh~ It's nothing, it's just that I just got a baby, and I'm happy." Li Xiao, who was awakened, smiled perfunctorily, and secretly gave Baihua a look, signaling her not to ask about it again.
"Lord, we should almost go back to the Taoist temple, right?" Baihua understood, but he didn't ask again, but asked dispensably when he would return to the Taoist temple.
"Wait for Sister Ru Meng and the others to come down, and then we will go back to the Taoist Temple." Li Xiao said.
Nodding, Baihua didn't speak, but sat there calmly waiting.
At this moment, there was a noise outside the house, and the sound of someone scolding was faintly heard, and the people in the living room heard the noise, and they stopped talking, and they all looked out of the house a little strangely.
"What's going on? Listening to the voice of God, why is it still so unruly, shouting at home like something! Liu Yixuan frowned when he heard this noise, and said a little unpleasantly, then got up and walked outside the house, wanting to see what was going on.
And Qin Fang, who was sitting with Xu Ru, heard this, for fear that his son would be scolded, so he quickly got up and followed.
Li Xiao, who was sitting lazily on the sofa with nothing to do with himself, suddenly changed his expression, and said to Baihua next to him in a low voice: "It may be that the radish babies are in trouble, let's go and see!" ”
Immediately, Li Xiao got up and walked out, and Baihua also got up at the same time and walked out without saying a word.
Out of the attic, following the noisy sound, walked all the way, only to see that in the garden at the back of the manor, under a tall ginkgo tree, Liu Tianci was angrily pointing to the radish babies lined up opposite, and asked loudly.
And Wang Qian was standing beside Liu Tianci, an expressionless bystander, and in the middle of the two opposing parties, Zhengyou was burning a bunch of dead branches, and there was a big bird like a defeathered bird on it, baking, and there was a pile of white feathers scattered on the grass next to it.
"You bad billets, you're too lawless! I actually ran to Liu's house to light a fire and roasted my grandfather's red-crowned crane! It's so unruly! Liu Tianci pointed to the nine radish babies on the opposite side and scolded angrily.
"Why can't you light a fire, it's already far from the house! Moreover, this big bird is not allowed to eat, what is the use of raising it? Shen Yi raised his head and said confidently, while the other radish babies also felt the same way, and they all raised their faces and looked at the angry Liu Tianci.
was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and when Liu Tianci just wanted to say something more, Liu Yixuan and the others walked up.
As soon as he saw the white feathers all over the ground, as well as the corpses that were roasted with wooden sticks, Liu Yixuan's face changed suddenly, although he already understood what was happening, he still turned his head to look at Liu Tianci, and asked in a deep voice: "Tianci, what are you shouting and screaming, and you are not afraid of the guests laughing at our Liu family!" ”
"Uncle, look! These little boys actually roasted the red-crowned cranes raised by their grandfather! Do you think I can not be angry? Can you not say a few words? Liu Tianci said with some indignation.
As soon as he and Wang Gan came out of their residence, they hurriedly walked to the attic in the center of the manor, and then halfway through, they saw a puff of green smoke in the garden.
But I didn't expect that a bonfire was built here, and there was meat roasting on it, that's all, and then looking at the white feathers in that place, Liu Tianci instantly understood that the nine little children in front of him actually killed their grandfather's red-crowned crane and came to barbecue and eat it!
At that time, Liu Tianci called one to rise, and that one was angry, and he couldn't wait to step forward and strangle these unlucky children.
Listening to Liu Tianci's words, coupled with the situation in front of him, Liu Yixuan turned his head to look at Li Xiao with a rather ugly face, but he couldn't say anything.
First, these children were brought back by their daughter Liu Rumeng, although they were children in Li Xiao's Taoist temple, but if they wanted to be questioned, they should also be blamed for their daughters.
Come, this Li Xiao is a guest at home, and his subordinates have just cured Liu Tianci's lost soul, so it is a little inappropriate to ask people at this time.
It's just that this red-crowned crane, whose father has been raising it for many years, was killed by a few children, and it was roasted in his own garden, and it seems that it is roasted and ready to be eaten on the spot, which ...... That's a lot of nonsense!
Seeing Liu Yixuan's looking eyes and that rather ugly face, Li Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and said apologetically: "Uncle Liu, this matter is all because I have no way to teach, but they are still children, don't worry about it, I will accompany the old man with a red-crowned crane when I go back, you see this matter will be exposed like this!" ”
"Can that be the same? If I went to your house and lit a fire and roasted and ate your beloved animals, would you just leave it at that? Our Liu family doesn't want any face at all? Liu Tianci saw that Li Xiao said so lightly, and immediately said angrily.
But this is also human nature, this is like ordinary people have a pet, suddenly one day the guest comes to the door, the result of the guest's child not only killed your pet, but also disemboweled, plucked hair and bloodletting, in the living room to light a fire to roast lacquered meat, is a person will be very angry!
"This matter is our fault, I promised to pay a crane, if you feel that it is not enough to make up for it, you can also say it, if you can do it, I will try to do it." Although Li Xiao was a little angry when he was asked, he also understood that it was his own fault, so he bowed his head and said apologetically.
"Forget it, God's gift, Li Xiao said so, and he is not an outsider, let him compensate your grandfather for a crane, and this matter will be revealed." Hearing Li Xiao's words, seeing that Liu Tianci still wanted to speak, Liu Yixuan stepped forward and said dissuasively. (To be continued.) )
