I looked away from him, and said in a low voice, "No, maybe you heard it wrong!"

I lowered my head and took a bite of the steamed bun I was holding. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a while, I glanced up at him and said, "Maybe it's the sound of water next to the stove, and I didn't hear it." ”

Ah Rong looked at me with a puzzled expression, and whispered, "Xiaolin, it's really strange......"

I walked over to answer, and there was no knocking at the door again.

Ah Rong glanced into the courtyard and muttered.

Then, he continued to himself: "Xiaolin, but the location of this courtyard where we live is so remote, where did the people knock on the door!"

"I didn't even wait until dark to deliver dinner, and I was almost forgotten."

"Think about it...... Besides, it's so late now. ”

When I heard this, I smiled at him and said, "yes, maybe it's the wind outside." ”

"I want to ...... It must have been misheard. ”

For a moment, I looked out thoughtfully, thinking...... The expression was a little dazed.

Ah Rong quickly finished eating half of the steamed bun in his hand.

He put down the bowl with hot water in his hand, looked at me with a flash in his eyes, and said, "Xiaolin, you say...... Could Master Wan have come back? ”

"When I come back...... "When I met the people in the house," Aron paused and continued, "As a result, he was stopped, right?" ”

I looked at him speechlessly.

I found that Ah Rong really likes brain supplements.

What he didn't see with his own eyes, he was able to connect it back and forth with his own imagination.

Sometimes, he even made up the follow-up plot by himself!

I shook my head, looked at him and said in a sincere tone, "I'm not what you think. ”

"By my guess...... Master Wan mostly went to the street to buy things, but he couldn't buy them successfully. ”

Ah Rong frowned and looked at me and asked, "Xiaolin, what do you say?" ”

I took a sip of water, looked at him and said, "Ah Rong, do you want to...... The small courtyard where we live must have been arranged a long time ago, otherwise it would be impossible to bring us here in a familiar way. ”

I looked around, looked at him and said, "This yard ...... It was used to house the craftsmen who helped repair the carriage in the house. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he listened intently to what I was saying.

"You went to the warehouse with Master Wan to see it, and they had already prepared a lot of things in it."

My tone changed and said, "But now, after Master Wan's confirmation, he feels that it is still a little less, what does this mean?" ”

"The people under the representative who prepared before were not as expert as Master Wan, they didn't expect it."

I said in a firm tone: "The things they have prepared must be commonly used and are easier to buy, while the ones that Master Wan wants must be more difficult to find, and they may not be easy to buy." ”

Ah Rong suddenly said when he heard this: "Xiaolin, it turns out that you mean this. ”

I nodded and looked at him and smiled, "Well, so I think Master Wan would be happy to find something that fits, even if he visits a few more shops in town." ”

"I guess...... He definitely wants to buy it before tomorrow. ”

"Otherwise, how are we going to start work?!"

I glanced at the courtyard outside, then retracted my gaze and said, "Because Your Majesty lives here, there are many guards inside and outside the mansion, and it is not easy for Master Wan to go out!" ”

"You also know that it's not easy to deal with the people above you!"

Aron looked at me in agreement.

In fact, I still haven't said anything, for fear that he will be frightened.

As far as I can see, there must be a secret guard hiding in the dark in the courtyard!

Think about why that taciturn guy disappeared as soon as he arrived in Northland?

I guess there must be someone like him in this mansion, hidden from the public.

...... Ah Rong and I had a simple dinner with boiled water.

It's a pity that there are only a few steamed buns sent by the attendants, and they are not enough to eat.

However, we still have one steamed bun left for Master Wan.

When I was done, I started tidying up the house.

Ah Rong walked to the corner of the room and continued to inspect some of the miscellaneous items piled up over there.

He looked at it for a while, then turned to me and said, "Xiaolin, it's freezing, it must be very cold here at night." ”

Yes, he is right, but we don't have a good way to keep warm.

I have already walked around the small courtyard, looking everywhere, and I only turned out a charcoal brazier, which looked very rough.

There is also very little charcoal left in the corner for heating.

I figured that if all three of them lived in the same room, they would only have to heat half the night by lighting this charcoal brazier.

In fact, in my opinion, it is not a wise thing to snub the craftsman in this way.

The problem is that I guess in my mind...... Most of the people in charge above don't know what the people below are doing.

I decided to wait until tomorrow morning when I met the female officer, and then talk to her carefully.

I hope for ...... I hope that the person who comes is not Gu Qimei, otherwise I will definitely not be willing to speak easily, and even have to find a way to avoid her as much as possible.

I was vaguely worried.

Ah Rong stared at me, thinking that I was worried about heating up at night.

He looked at me and comforted: "Xiaolin, we have only arrived here, there is no way for the time being, and we will definitely get things done one by one tomorrow." ”

He snapped his fingers and said, "...... The matter of charcoal, the matter of eating, you have to discuss with the boss. ”

After speaking, Ah Rong sighed and said, "Xiaolin, the war in the Northland is in the middle of winter, and we are still living in the house, so ah...... This place is not good. ”

I gave him a strange look, a little confused.

Listening to his words, he seemed to have another meaning that he didn't say.

Unexpectedly, after a short while, Ah Rong approached me and said, "Xiaolin, in fact, we are all more relaxed and comfortable in the front-line camp than here!" ”

I felt a little strange in my heart, looked at him and was stunned for a moment before asking, "Ah Rong, what are you talking about?" ”

"Xiaolin, it's easy to find food in the mountains!"

He looked at me and said with great interest: "Xiaolin, we made traps in the forest, and we even caught living creatures. ”

"By the way, there are some pools in the mountains near the first-line camp in the Northland that don't freeze in winter, and even fish can be found."

My eyes lit up, I looked at him and smiled and answered, "What did you say...... Sounds so good, I kind of want to go. ”

Counting up, the original training ground in the pioneer battalion would definitely have been pulled out to the front line before the battle.

However, now that I followed Master Wan to the mansion by mistake, it is estimated that the possibility of going to the front line is very small.

I thought for a moment and then looked at Ah Rong and said, "Let's wait, the water will be put on the stove and warmed, and when Master Wan comes back, there will be hot water to drink." ”

"I'm definitely going to start doing things tomorrow morning, and you should also think about it, if the female official comes to inspect us, how to mention it to her."

Speaking of this, I can't help but think of Chen Xiang.

If I were like him, I would be very good at chatting with female officials, and the probability of making a request to a female official would be much greater.

...... I watched Ah Rong take out the clutter in the house and put it on the ground to sort it out.

Before eating, he had already sorted out the warehouse.

This guy is very good for the job of managing the warehouse.

At that moment, I thought of when I was in the Sealand Palace, and the housekeeper of the flower garden, Qing Zhi, was just like him, and he was in an orderly manner.

She kept the storeroom of the flower garden neatly organized, with flowers, herbs, tools, and ...... It's all sorted.

Ah Rong moved quickly, and after a while, the side house looked much neater after his hands were tidied up!

After looking around the room, I was about to say something of compliment, when suddenly my heart sank and I looked keenly into the courtyard.

After a while, I walked out quickly.

I heard it right, there were footsteps coming towards the courtyard again.

I listened and discerned, apparently it was coming from the east.

So I walked to the gate on the east side of the courtyard, stretched out my hand and opened the door to look out.

The same road that had been walked by the attendant who had brought dinner, and now someone was coming this way.

When I looked closely, it looked like the person who had come to deliver dinner.

The man's figure looked familiar.

Suddenly, I ran out of the house, and Ah Rong followed me.

He misunderstood the footsteps in the distance, and leaned forward to ask me, "Xiaolin, is Master Wan back?" ”

As soon as the voice ended, the man walked very fast, and he came through the path in the woods until he came to the outside of the courtyard where we lived.

This time he nodded to me, and then turned his gaze to Ah Rong.

The attendant looked at him and said in a light tone: "You are from the front-line camp, the one who came to the mansion today to ask, isn't it?" ”

Ah Rong looked at him suspiciously, and answered, "Yes, what is the matter?" ”

"There's something going on from above, so come with me."

I stepped forward, looked at the attendant and asked, and after a few words to him, I finally figured out what was going on.

It turned out that a female official in the courtyard ordered him to come over to ask Ah Rong for questioning.

I looked at the attendant and asked, "Nothing wrong, right?" ”

He looked at me strangely and said, "It's not looking for you, you have nothing to worry about." ”

After that, he glanced at Ah Rong with some suspicion and then looked at me.

This time, the squire's eyes were clearly a little dissatisfied.

I was stunned for a moment, looked at him and said, "Since they all went to a courtyard to do things, Master Wan didn't come back, and my companion was about to be taken away, so I asked." ”

"Companion?!"

The attendant looked at me again and said in a cold tone: "You just came here, and he just came, don't you just know him, can you talk about companions?!" ”

This person's tone sounds a little weird, as if his mood has changed a little faster in just this moment!

When he delivered food before, it didn't seem so difficult to speak!

After speaking, he looked at Ah Rong and urged: "You are still waiting above, you go quickly, otherwise even I will be reprimanded!" ”

Ah Rong said to me, "Xiaolin, it's too cold, you go back to the house and wait." ”

"I'll go with him and ask questions...... Will be back for sure soon. ”

I nodded, raised my eyes and caught a glimpse of the attendant on the side, and after listening to what Ah Rong said, my expression was a little displeased.

I turned to go back, and the moment I closed the door, I saw that the attendant, who had already walked some distance, looked back, and still looked unhappy.

I thought about it, and a question mark appeared in my mind, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with the few words I asked.

That guy's reaction just now was a little strange, I don't know what's going on!

However, since it was a female official's questioning, it should be a business-like affair.

If the squire who is difficult for us comes to find us, I'm afraid things will be a little tricky.

I walked into the courtyard, glanced at the car parked there, and then turned back to the side house.

...... Not long after, I heard a knock on the door again.

This time, I looked up from the stove, looked at the courtyard, and quickly walked in the direction where the sound was coming from.

I was the only one left in the whole courtyard.

The surroundings are exceptionally quiet, so ...... Not even the slightest movement will go unnoticed.

The clouds obscured the moonlight, the wind whispered, and I walked to the west side of the courtyard near the door I had opened.

Later, there was another knock on the door.

In an instant, my heart beat faster by several beats, and I was calm before I asked, "Who is it?" ”

A girl's voice sounded outside: "Is it Xiaolin?" ”

I came back to my senses and was a little disappointed, the person who came was Yuan Xiu!

I hurriedly stepped forward, removed the deadbolt, opened the door and looked out.

In the moonlight, I saw Yuan Xiu standing at the door, and I was still a little embarrassed when I saw me.

"It's so cold, why are you here?"

I looked at her puzzled, then asked with a smile.

Yuan Xiu lowered her head and pointed to the basket placed not far away, and then she walked over and approached the basket resting under the tree.

I hurriedly went over to help, but I didn't expect her to put the basket and not mention it.

She lifted the cloth that covered her head and said to me, "There is some food in the basket, bring it to you." ”

"How embarrassing is this, you brought it on purpose!"

There are the same steamed buns in the basket, but there are many of them, compared to the waiter who brought us dinner, Yuan Xiu is simply too generous.

There is also a box of dishes that seem to be used for steamed buns.

"Xiaolin, is the master who lives with you back?"

Yuan Xiu bit her lip, looked at me and asked.

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied, "Master Wan hasn't come back yet, I'm alone now." ”

I thought about it, a thought flashed in my heart, I looked at her and asked, "Yuan Xiu, were you knocking on the door before?" ”

"I think I've heard a noise at the west gate."

She looked at me and nodded, "yes, but I was startled, it wasn't you who answered the door." ”

I looked at her and couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's the same person who lives in the same yard." ”

I looked at Yuan Xiu and said, "I didn't tell you, there are a total of three people living here in the new mansion. ”
