eighteen

Xu You was furious for a while, and soon reluctantly accepted this cruel reality, in fact, she had not really felt at ease since she walked out of the palace, and now she suddenly felt - just like the feeling of a long breath after finally dropping a second slipper upstairs.

She carefully calculated her time, accompanied Zhao Chengjin into the palace to investigate the case in the morning, and investigated the case in the Ruiwang Mansion in the afternoon - Sheriff White Cat is really a good day!

Xu You didn't figure out how to expose the poison buried in the camellia pot for a while, and the one who believed in her the most in this palace was Zhao Chengjin, but she didn't want to involve this half-old child in the back house. As for Princess Rui, I'm afraid that even if Concubine Ning Shu dies of illness, people who are so proud of her may not be willing to take half a step into Li Yuan.

She shook her head, put away all the messy things in her little brain, and played with Zhao Chengjin for a while, and when the little guy took a nap at noon, she slipped out of the house again.

She wanted to go to see Shen Rong, but she hadn't seen him for more than a month, and she didn't know if he had been beaten by Lao Wu again.

It was already past lunchtime, there was no one in the kitchen, and Shen Rong was busy cleaning up under the stove in a half-length single coat. Compared to the last time they met, he seemed to have lost some weight, his eyes appeared larger and darker, his face was pale, even a faint malnourished blue, and his arms were thin, as if they could be broken with a slight fold.

Xu You couldn't see the child suffering the most, when he saw him like this, his heart was strangely sour, and he just wanted to meow and greet him, the kitchen door was suddenly pushed open, Shen Rong trembled like a frightened rabbit, and his already pale face became more and more white as paper in an instant.

"Brother Rong, what's wrong with you, your face is so ugly?" It was Mother Li from the kitchen who came in, she asked while reaching out to probe Shen Rong's forehead with concern, and said softly: "Are you tired lately, or you go back to rest, and leave it to your aunt here." ”

Shen Rong's face looked a little better, but it was still pale, his eyes were terrifyingly black, and his calm face was like a deep sea, and he didn't know how much wind and tsunami he had suppressed. Xu You intuitively felt that something bad had happened to this child, so that the whole person was like a sharpened sword, and he couldn't tell when it would come out of the sheath to hurt someone.

Shen Rong didn't speak for a while, was silent for a long time, wiped his hands with a rag heavily, swallowed his saliva, and whispered: "Xie Lu Xie Li's mother, I'm ...... There's something going on at home......" He looked at Mother Li uneasily, and quickly dodged, lowered his head, and walked out of the hole without looking back.

Xu You felt that something was wrong, so he quickly jumped down from the roof beam and chased after him quickly.

Shen Rong walked straight to the back door of the palace when he got out of the kitchen, his face was still gloomy and terrifying, and his whole person was shrouded in a thick haze that made people breathless, as if a volcano was about to erupt at any time.

What's wrong with this kid? What happened in the past month or so that this simple and timid child who was as simple and timid as a blank sheet of paper was forced into what he is now?

Shen Rong didn't leave the house, he walked to the back door, and a hairy arm stretched out from the rockery on the side of the road and suddenly grabbed him, and a flowing voice said: "Where does the little rabbit cub want to escape?" ”

It's the fifth!

Xu You alertly pricked up his ears, arched his back, and subconsciously sharpened his front paws on the bluestone slab, his tail pressed low, ready to strike at any time.

Shen Rong was dragged by him, and tears came out in pain, but he still had a gloomy and scary expression on his face, and he fought with Lao Wu with his hands and feet, but he was young, where was Lao Wu's opponent, and he was restrained by Lao Wu in three or two strokes, and he couldn't move half a point anymore.

Lao Wu stared at Shen Rong with an obscene face, clamped his two arms with one hand, and unceremoniously touched Shen Rong's little face with the other hand, and then slid onto his buttocks after a while, and said viciously: "I don't know what to do, little rabbit cub, the fifth master is worthy of you, no matter how you don't know how to lift, see how I ......"

Before he finished his words, a fierce wind suddenly hit his ears, and then there was a tingling pain on the right side of his face, and Lao Wu immediately covered his face and screamed.

Xu You didn't love to fight when he succeeded, and meowed twice at Shen Rong, Shen Rong understood, and immediately took the opportunity to escape from the clamp of the fifth child, and ran quickly towards the back door. Xu You also followed him all the way, and after a while, he arrived at Shen Rong's residence next to the back door, he slammed the door shut, and hurriedly tied the door, only then did he breathe a heavy sigh and sit on the ground with a limp of his body.

Xu You cautiously stepped forward, stretched out his paws, patted him lightly on the leg, and looked at him with wide eyes and concern. Shen Rong suddenly reached out and held her in his arms, very hard, Xu You's whole body was buried in his thin chest and could barely move, she kicked her legs weakly and wanted to come down, but then she heard a painful and suppressed howl......

Shen Rong was crying, his whole body was trembling, and his chest made a muffled sound, as if all the suppressed and painful emotions were vented.

What happened to this child?

Xu You didn't even dare to think about it. She remembered that Shen Rong still had a mother who was seriously ill in bed, but now the house was empty and there was no one else, and she was not angry at all.

Is it passed away? Obviously, the last time Shen Rong looked forward to him and said that when he grew up, he would be able to find a better errand to earn some money for his mother's medical treatment, but now, he is still so young, he is not even old enough to protect himself, Xu You can't imagine how he survived so many days.

Old Five...... Can't stay!

Xu You accompanied Shen Rong for a while, and when he finally seemed to regain his composure, he patted his little face and jumped out of the window. She had to drive the fifth child out of the house, and she couldn't delay for a moment.

The courtyard where the fifth child lives is not far from the back door, and it is a place where some decent people in the house live, which is naturally much more spacious than the courtyard where Shen Rong is. Xu You cautiously walked from the roof beam, careful not to let others see.

Lao Wu was taking a nap shirtless, and he was sleeping deeply, snoring lowly. The wound on his face that was scratched out by Xu You was bloody, and there were three cuts, but unfortunately it was not deep, and it had been medicated, and the wound was still hideous. Xu You looked at it coldly, only wishing to make a few more cuts in his throat.

Maybe she should sharpen her nails a little sharper, and the next time she encounters such a scumbag, she can give him some color.

Xu You hunched his back, lowered his tail, and jumped off the roof beam lightly.

The room was not large, with a bed and a table, and a large cabinet against the north wall. The wardrobe was not locked, Xu You looked around, walked to the cabinet, kicked his hind legs hard, jumped on the handle of the cabinet neatly, and with a light hook, the wardrobe door opened.

There were a lot of clothes in the cupboard, untied, and some of them had not even been washed, and they smelled unpleasantly sour. It smelled so bad that she tried to reach out and cover her nose, but found that this action was a bit difficult for the cat, and the wonderful smell was still like a tide.

That's a no-brainer! She was just about to withdraw from the cupboard, when she suddenly heard the fifth child on the bed turn over, so frightened that her heart almost straightened and jumped, and her body froze, and then she subconsciously drilled into the messy bag of pickles.

She patiently squatted in the pile of pickles for a quarter of an hour, and did not hear any other sounds in the room, and then she was sure that the fifth child had not woken up.

Sure enough, it's not material to do bad things, this cowardly person is simply embarrassed by the cat's face.

But this common sin was not in vain, and there was a small box hidden in the pickles, made of black wood, on which many flowers and plants were carved, and it was not locked. Xu You carefully opened the box, and it contained many belongings, two of the eleven taels, and a silver ticket of fifty taels, a pen holder of rosewood, and a few jade bracelets—God knows where he got these women's things.

Xu You wanted to get all these things away so that he could ruin his fortune, but after thinking about it carefully, it was too cheap for him, so he took off the cat tag given by the Queen Mother around his neck and put it in the box, and then put the box back in its place, and finally carefully covered the box with clothes.

Lao Wu was still sleeping deeply, he turned over, his uninjured left face was exposed, Xu You sharpened his claws and jumped on the bed.

But she didn't rush to do it, thought about it, jumped down again, rolled on the spot a few times, and ran to the corner of the wall where there was green moss and rubbed it, making her white hair dirty, looking very embarrassed, and then she jumped on the bed again, aimed at the left side of the guy's face, and scratched her claws with all her strength.

Lao Wu was immediately woken up by the pain, opened his eyes and saw Xu You, and suddenly exploded his lungs, and the new hatred and old hatred swarmed up, turned over and got out of bed, and took a feather duster from the bedside and chased after him, and scolded viciously while chasing: "I don't want to live a dead cat and a dead animal, see if Lao Tzu doesn't skin you alive." Don't think it's great to have a little ghost to support you, offend the fifth master, and still want your life......"

Xu You opened his throat and howled loudly, the sound was like a sudden child crying in the middle of the night, it was ugly and cautious, the people in the yard shivered in unison, and Li's mother and others immediately came out of the house.

"What's calling?" Mother Li rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, and looked in from the half-open window of Lao Wu with an inquiring expression. As soon as the words ended, a white shadow "whoosh-" came out of the ground, screaming in a terrible way, and fled in all directions in a panic.

Immediately, the door of the room was opened steeply, and the fifth child chased out of the house angrily with a feather duster, and scolded Xu You with a dry mouth.

Where would Xu Yu pay attention to him, he only screamed vigorously, deliberately went around in front of everyone, so that they could see the embarrassment on his body, and then shook his hair, glared at Lao Wu viciously, and quickly climbed onto the roof to go to Liyuan to find Zhao Cheng to complain.
