Chapter 11: The Girl Who Fears the Dark
As yesterday, after Li Chunhai served the eldest young master Su Zimo, he told the second young master Su Zijin "Journey to the West" for three hours, and when she left Su Zijin's room, it was already night outside. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When she returned to the room, she found that there was less rice left today than yesterday, not even half a bowl, and there was not even a single grain of side dishes left.
"These miscellaneous servants are really hateful, don't they know that there is still me as a scholar?" Li Chunhai also hated it, but he still ate the small half bowl of rice, and then went back to his room, just waiting for the night to go to the room to steal a few steamed buns.
When the second watch passed, Li Chunhai went out and walked around the room very skillfully, but he didn't expect that the candlestick in the room was still lit as yesterday.
"Isn't there anyone coming here before me to steal food?" Li Chunhai then found the window that he had broken yesterday, and when he looked inside, he saw that the girl in yellow clothes was still hiding under the candlestick and eating steamed buns.
"It's you again!" Li Chunhai was bold this time, suddenly pushed open the door, and said to the girl: "You came here to steal steamed buns again!" ”
The girl was startled at first, then heard Li Chunhai's voice clearly, and then looked at herself, so she let go of her nervousness and said, "It turns out that you are a scholar, don't scare me so much next time." ”
"Hehe, I scared you" Li Chunhai also intended to tease this girl before, but seeing that the other party was not afraid, he hurriedly walked to the cupboard and took out three large steamed buns, stuffed them into his pocket, nodded to the girl with a smile, and said, "I'll eat slowly here, I'll go back first." ”
"Wait a minute!" The girl whispered suddenly.
"What's the matter with you?" Li Chunhai looked at the girl with a reluctant look, and couldn't help but say, "You don't want me to be here to eat steamed buns with you, right?" ”
"En" the girl nodded, "After you left last night, I stayed here alone to eat steamed buns, and I felt very scared, for fear that someone would suddenly break in again." ”
"Then you can take the steamed buns back and eat them like me!" Li Chunhai patted the steamed bun stuffed in his pocket, "It's better to take it back to your house and eat it slowly than to stay here alone and be afraid." ”
"I don't dare to bring the steamed buns back." The girl shook her head and said.
When Li Chunhai heard her say this, he guessed that she shouldn't be like herself, living alone in a room, so she didn't want to take the steamed buns back to eat. Looking at the girl's pitiful expectant look, the soft-hearted Li Chunhai also sighed and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you to nibble on steamed buns for a while." ”
After speaking, Li Chunhai walked to the girl's side, sat beside her, took out a piece of steamed bun from his pocket, and gnawed it down. Seeing Li Chunhai nibbling on steamed buns, the girl was also relieved, holding her steamed buns and chewing them slowly.
"I don't know how long I'm going to eat like you!" Li Chunhai was so hungry that he swallowed a steamed bun into his stomach in three or two clicks, and then looked at the little girl, but he didn't even eat half of it.
"Big brother, you are a man, naturally eat faster, my mother taught me before, women must eat so carefully and slowly, in order to take care of their bodies." The girl said in a crisp voice, which really stunned Li Chunhai for a moment, making her think that she was also a girl in essence, and she was no more than two years older than this girl, why did she look so different when she ate it.
Li Chunhai couldn't help but pick up this girl a lot, only to see her frowning and phoenix eyes, but her small face was very round, without the slightest hunger, plus that clean satin shirt, she didn't look like an ordinary person at all, but like a daughter of a family. So Li Chunhai asked: "We have met twice, and we still don't know what your name is?" ”
"My name is Little Juan, the cuckoo's cuckoo." The little girl said, "My parents, hoping that my brothers would be successful in the future, gave me this nickname, hoping to bring some joy." ”
"Little Juan, that's a good name." After listening to the girl's words, Li Chunhai guessed that she should be the personal maid of which wife, otherwise she would not have such a simple name and this dress.
"I said my name, but you haven't said your name yet?" The girl looked at Li Chunhai with wide eyes, so that Li Chunhai, who didn't want to say her name, had to say: "My name is Li Chunhai, and I am the scholar of the two young masters. ”
"En" Xiaojuan nodded, she also knew that there was a difference between inside and outside, and an insider like herself should not have any friendship with a scholar like Li Chunhai.
"Eat it, it's almost cold." Li Chunhai saw that there was still half of the steamed bun in Xiaojuan's hand, so he urged. The little cuckoo stopped talking, lowered his head and sped up. Seeing that she was about to finish eating, Li Chunhai heard a string of heavy footsteps outside the door.
"Someone's coming!" Li Chunhai heard the footsteps, hurriedly said to Xiaojuan, and then stood up and blew out the fire on the candlestick, and suddenly the whole room became dark.
The little juan suddenly cowered in fright, and put down the steamed bun in his hand. Li Chunhai heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, so he also squatted down and leaned on the side of the little juan.
"Brother Li, I'm so scared!" Xiao Juan was afraid that someone would come in, and he was afraid of this dark environment, so his whole body couldn't help but tremble, and he even moved closer to Li Chunhai. Li Chunhai felt her trembling at once, so he hugged her into his arms and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, with me here, you can rest assured." ”
Xiao Juan nodded. At this time, the footsteps suddenly stopped outside the door of this room, and through the crack in the door, a tall black shadow was illuminated by the moonlight on the ground of the room.
When Xiao Juan saw this scene, she trembled even more with fright. So Li Chunhai hugged her harder and patted her back gently. In such a situation, Li Chunhai's slow breathing, coupled with her gentle patting, actually gave Xiaojuan an unprecedented sense of security, which made her quickly calm down and stop trembling.
The people outside the door also felt that there was no sound in the room, so they took a step back, and then slowly left the room with heavy footsteps.
"Alright, the man is gone." Li Chunhai patted the little juan snuggled in his arms, smiled and said.
"En" Although Xiaojuan felt that Li Chunhai was very comfortable holding herself like this, she knew that there was a difference between men and women, so she quickly stood up from Li Chunhai's arms, blushed and said, "Thank you, Brother Li." ”
At this time, it was still dark in the house, and Li Chunhai naturally couldn't see the girl's red face, so she also stood up and said: "What is there to thank, the two of us are grasshoppers on a straw, and we were found stealing steamed buns here, but we couldn't escape punishment." ”
After saying this, Li Chunhai was not interested in staying here, so she hurriedly opened the door and let the moonlight outside shine in, so that people could finally see the surrounding environment clearly.
"What are you doing here?" Li Chunhai turned around and saw that Xiaojuan was still standing motionless, so he shouted in a low voice: "Before that person comes back, let's go back quickly." ”
At this time, Xiaojuan showed a difficult face, and muttered in a low voice: "My candlestick is extinguished, it's so dark outside, I don't dare to go back..."
"Oh my God, you're so old that you're afraid of the dark!" Li Chunhai couldn't help but shake his head, and then sighed, "Forget it, let me send you back." ”
