Chapter 85: Excuses
"Twitter...... Twitter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Against the noisy cicadas, under the acacia tree, Xie Menglin leaned on the wall with one hand to probe her brain, and the other hand was hanging down with the red silk handkerchief that Xie Xianglin saw before.
And through the shade of the trees, where she looked was Xie Zhaolin's house a few meters away.
Because of the hot weather, the doors and windows of the house were wide open, and occasionally the conversation was heavy, and Xie Menglin could even hear the voice, but now, it was very quiet, as if no one was there.
What's going on? Could it be that Xianglin's girl forgot her words, and she hasn't said a reason yet? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense, and there is no response yet!
Xie Menglin was puzzled, but she could only wait, otherwise she would rush in to take a look?
Alas, so it's unreliable to leave things to children.
After looking at it like this for a while, Xie Menglin finally lost her patience, flicked her sleeves and was about to leave, but when she turned around, she happened to bump into the eldest sister who was walking leisurely.
Knowing that she was here to accept the results, Xie Menglin didn't have much to do, and after saying hello, she continued to walk back, but she still had some doubts in her heart.
Why is the eldest sister so sure that her cousin will choose to go back when she hears about the haunting in the house, instead of being half frightened to death and crying and crying and insisting on staying? In other words, although it is harmful to the reputation of ordinary people, it will also leave a bad impression, but they will probably choose the latter, right?
So, on what basis did she decide? Or, in fact, the eldest sister is not sure at all, just give it a try, and if it doesn't succeed, she will continue?
"Alas!" Xie Menglin, who felt that she was being pitted, was very depressed, if she had a choice, she really didn't want to participate in these bad things, and it was not a loss for her cousins to stay here.
After another heavy sigh, her figure faded away.
When Xie Yulin stepped into the door, she unexpectedly only saw the little sister sitting there in a daze, but she didn't see Xie Zhaolin's figure, and was about to ask, when there was a sound of footsteps in the inner room, Xie Zhaolin walked out wearing a bright red waist-length skirt.
With one hand still holding the eight-treasure jade silver hairpin on his head, he obviously just went in to change his clothes.
Xie Yulin was relieved, but said with a regretful expression on her face: "Sister, is this going out?" Then I'll come back to you another day. ”
Originally, the eldest sister said this, but in terms of Xie Zhaolin's character, as long as it is not too important, she will choose to turn away from accompanying guests. But today is really anxious, so he also said: "I'm sorry to let the eldest sister run for nothing, if the eldest sister is in a hurry, tell me now." ”
"It's not important, where is my sister going? If it's an unfamiliar place, my sister can still accompany it. Xie Yulin proposed very understandingly.
This...... Xie Zhaolin was embarrassed, since even the little sister already knew about the haunting at home, then there was no reason for others not to know, and he was still kept in the dark, obviously deliberately concealing it.
Maybe...... It's still my parents, please!
In fact, although Xie Zhaolin believes in ghosts and gods, he has also heard that he has encountered many things that pretend to be gods and ghosts, that is, man-made. So she was skeptical about this haunting, and she really didn't feel at ease if she didn't go and see it herself.
But if she says it directly, I'm afraid she won't be allowed to go out! The only way to do this is to find an inconspicuous excuse to sneak out.
It's just, what do you say? Xie Zhaolin was in distress, and the little sister's immature voice sounded again, she said: "Eldest sister, you won't be interested, my cousin and I are going to eat candy dumplings at that Li Ji in the west of the city, don't you hate sweets the most?!" ”
This...... It seems to be an excuse she thought of at the beginning, but it is somewhat unreasonable to regard going out to eat as an important thing!
Just when Xie Zhaolin thought that the eldest sister's face would stiffen, she only heard the other party's somewhat anxious voice: "Chengxi Li Ji? It's not good, it's not good, the sugar dumpers there are not delicious, Sister Yilin, you should go to the one in the east of the city! ”
Sure enough, don't you want her to go?! Xie Zhaolin's eyes darkened, and he was even more sure of his guess. It's just that others don't know, but she herself knows very well, once she makes up her mind to do something, no one can stop her!
So when he raised his face again, Xie Zhaolin already had a faint smile on his face, and said in a firm tone: "Whether it's delicious or not, I won't know until I try it." The eldest sister thinks it's not delicious, and others don't necessarily think so, since Li Ji's sugar dumplings are available in limited quantities every day, there must be something special. Before it sells out yet, we're going to try it out quickly! ”
After speaking, he bowed to Xie Yulin again, and took Xie Xianglin's hand past her to leave.
But I saw a maid next to Xie Yulin taking a step forward, trying to block the way of the two!
Xie Zhaolin was also a little depressed, didn't she just go back and take a look? As for such a big move! She hasn't told the truth yet, she can't even go to the west of the city!
It seems that she still has to say it, I don't believe that she can pretend not to know, after thinking about it, Xie Zhaolin crossed her heart and said directly to Xie Yulin: "Forget it, eldest sister, I won't hide it from you." I've heard what happened at home, and I just want to go back and see what happened at home, and I hope that the eldest sister will be convenient. ”
This sound neither humble nor arrogant, and the tone is also very sincere, and more importantly, it meets Xie Yulin's original expectations, but she can't show too much, so she still pretends not to understand.
"Eldest sister, that's my home after all, I have to go back sooner or later, and I will definitely know about it in the future, I know that you are for my good, and my parents are also for my good. But in doing so, my conscience is troubled. ”
The words have already been said to this point, Xie Yulin will not and can't pretend anymore, she smiled apologetically, let the tall maid next to her step back and said: "What my sister said about this matter is reasonable, but I still need to talk to my parents, uncle and aunt really want you to stay." ”
After finishing the sentence, she added: "Hauntings are mostly yin and angry, if there is a person with a rich and noble life, even if you don't need to do the practice of a monk, you will definitely be able to turn the crisis into safety." ”
As she spoke, she looked at Xie Zhaolin's fair-skinned and round hands and earlobes as plump as cotton, intentionally or unintentionally.
Xie Zhaolin nodded, her eyes were grateful, it seemed that the eldest sister was reminding her to start with herself in order to convince the second uncle and them, so that they could believe that there was no danger in going back this time.
