CHAPTER XVII

At night, the Sun family house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ji Xuetian saw that Sun Xiaoshi finished eating the sugar gourd, and estimated that her sadness was not so strong, so she said, "Take me to your father's room."

Sun Xiaoshi, who was sitting on the couch, was stunned for a moment, looked around and said, "This is Daddy's room!" ”

Ji Xuetian didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. When he was cleaning, he already knew that there was only a bed, a wooden table and two wooden chairs, a dresser, a wardrobe, and an ink painting of caryophyllum on the wall. Although it is not destitute, it is also very shabby, and it really does not look like a residence of a general sentence. You must know that the general judgment that holds the power of the state's soldiers and civilians, money valley, household registration, enslavement, and prison judgment litigation and adjudication, which department under his command is not fat! So either Sun Yi hid the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, and the like, or he was "confiscated".

"Your father's collection of treasures has been scraped clean, right?"

Xiaoshi shook her head: "Daddy's room has always been like this." ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Ji Xuetian looked at the room seriously and carefully. After discovering that there was no anomaly, he began to rummage through the cabinets again. After failing again, he didn't bother to knock on the wall, and directly emitted his divine soul power to investigate.

Half an hour passed, and he looked at Sun Xiaoshi: "Where does your father usually like to stay at home?" ”

Maybe it was vented just now, Xiaoshi's memories didn't cry anymore. She thought for a moment and said, "Probably the study." ”

"Take me there."

The two came to Sun Yi's study.

Ji Xuetian searched the study in the same way, but still found nothing.

The boy was a little disappointed, so he had to use a stupid method - he began to flip through the books, thinking that he might be able to find his notes, hoping to learn the real reason why Sun Yi was captured by the city lord.

It's a pity that until the third watch in the middle of the night, after he read all the books, he still didn't find any relevant clues. This couldn't help but be discouraged, so he decided to go outside to get some air.

The air in the patio is indeed much better than in the study. That study has not been ventilated for at least more than a few months, and the smell is naturally strong. Ji Xuetian also didn't understand how the little girl could sleep inside. He walked alone in the small courtyard, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt refreshed, and there seemed to be a rich and fragrant fragrance of flowers in his heart?

"It's so familiar with the fragrance of flowers~" By the moonlight, Ji Xuetian noticed that there were nine potted plants with yellow flowers next to the well. "Wangjiangnan 1?"

Wangjiangnan is not the name of the brand, but the name of the plant on the potted plant, which is a kind of potted herb that southern people like to plant in the front and back yards. Wangjiangnan is not only a good medicine for headaches, stomach problems and snake wounds, but also has the miraculous effect of repelling snakes when it exudes a rich floral fragrance when it intersects in summer and autumn, so people also call it a snake destroyer.

There are many lakes and snakes and insects in Jingzhou, and it is normal to plant some snakes to destroy the door. But Ji Xuetian clearly remembered that Sun Yi was arrested because many people saw him colluding with demons and pseudo-snake cultivators, how could he still plant snakes in the patio to destroy the door? And one is as many as eight pots......

"At least what is certain is that Sun Yi is an honest official, and he will never be a silverfish that harms the people, and there is no possibility of colluding with demons and evil spirits to harm others. So......" Ji Xuetian walked towards the well with some doubts.

He stood beside the edge of the well, looking at the well water reflecting himself and the bright moon. After a moment of silence, he suddenly unceremoniously penetrated all his divine soul power into the well, and it was visible to the naked eye that his divine soul power had become substantial, pouring into the well like flowing water......

After a long time, Ji Xuetian put away his divine soul power.

He knew what was hidden in the well, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "So you are here." ”

In the study, Xiaoshi, who was asleep, woke up slowly, and she was a little anxious to urinate.

She came to the patio in a daze, and then she saw a long figure standing in the well...... How familiar that figure was, and how often she could see it in the old nights when she got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom......

"Daddy!" A little girl's exclamation suddenly sounded in the courtyard. Before Ji Xuetian turned around, he clearly felt a desperate little kid rushing up and hugging his legs, and crying and sticking his face to his ass.

The legendary face to the ass? Is it your fault that you grew tall at the age of fourteen? No, the point should be that he is only fourteen and has an eight-year-old child who recognizes himself as a father...... This kid probably hasn't woken up yet, right?

It's embarrassing.

She seems to be very sad, do you want her to recognize the reality? Let's let her recognize the reality!

Ji Xuetian touched her head and said, "Sister Xiaoshi, don't be sad, okay?" Why don't you give you another candy to eat? ”

"Ahh The little girl screamed, frightened and took several steps back, her face even redder, which had been a little red from crying.

Of course, Ji Xuetian couldn't see this, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, girl, the person who was scared should be me, right? Girls are really weird no matter how big or small......

"Didn't you just sleep in your study? Why did you get here? ”

The girl lowered her head and stretched out her hand to the outer courtyard: "The thatched house is over there."

"Oh, then you can get over there."

The little girl trotted away.

Ji Xuetian habitually sighed and sat down on the edge of the well, thinking about whether to tell her about Sun Yi's new discoveries.

After a while, the little girl returned. But because she had done something embarrassing just now, she didn't dare to face Ji Xuetian directly, so she planned to sneak back into the room secretly.

Ji Xuetian noticed her tiptoeing, a little amused by her careful thoughts, and said, "Xiaoshi, don't you think the room is too stuffy?" If you can't sleep, take a breath outside. ”

"Huh?" Xiaoshi stood there, a little overwhelmed.

Ji Xuetian felt that this would not affect the conversation anyway, so he simply asked, "Does your father often stand next to this well in the middle of the night?"

Xiaoshi nodded.

"Oh, that's it~ What do you think of your father?"

There are no parents in the world who are not, Sun Xiaoshi replied without thinking: "Good person! Sometimes it's harsh, but I know he hurts me a lot. ”

"Good guys?" Ji Xuetian touched his chin, and then smiled: "I think so too." But you don't know enough about your father, do you want to know more about your father? ”

"I want to!"

"Okay!" Ji Xuetian pointed to the potted plant by the well and asked, "Do you know what kind of grass this is?" ”

"Look at the south of the river! Does this have anything to do with my father? ”

"Yes, you still know each other. This has something to do not only with your father, but also with a story that has been passed down for a long time. ”

Sun Xiaoshi said seriously: "I just want to know about my father." ”

"It's really uncute, and the story I want to tell has something to do with your father."

"Oh. Daddy-related stories? Xiaoshi was also curious, "What kind of story is it?" ”

"Want to hear it?"

"I want to."

"Did your father teach you the saying 'The heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant'?"

"Nope." The little girl first shook her head, and then used her brain and said, "Do you mean that a snake is too greedy to swallow even an elephant, and as a result, it will be strangled to death?"

Ji Xuetian laughed: "When I first saw this sentence, what came to my mind was also the image of a snake swallowing an elephant. And there is indeed a record of a snake swallowing an elephant in the book "Classic of Mountains and Seas". But it wasn't until I was forced to read more books and know a lot of stories that I realized it wasn't like that at all. ”

"What's going on here?"

"The human heart is not enough for the snake to swallow the elephant, everyone only notices the snake and the elephant, but completely ignores the word human heart." Ji Xuetian began to tell the story. "Speaking of which, it's really a sad story with a strong didactic meaning."
