Chapter 59: Confessing the Lord with Conscience
Before the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the gate of the county government was always closed and would not be open to the public. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Chinese New Year's Eve, there were a few light snowfalls.
"Is it my delusion, I always feel that there are a lot fewer people in the city." Chen Fan'er stood at the door of the county government, covering her little face with her palms, resisting the cold.
"You don't feel wrong, in the past few days of the Chinese New Year, I have gone to many households." Song Qingsong lifted the sedan curtain and said, "Go in, it's cold outside." The old man is sick, so he won't come to see you off. ”
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, today is the departure day for Chen Faner to go to the state and county to select embroidery girls on behalf of Qingshui County.
Many people in the house went out to see each other, and the porter, Li Chunhua, and so on came. Of course, Cheng Yu is also among them.
Cheng Zhi, the county magistrate, became depressed and sick because of the cold and innocent matter, and he was bedridden since the beginning of the year. The doctor diagnosed that it was a heart disease, and it would take a long time to recover.
"Sister Yu, I'm leaving, take good care of the master. In two months, we will see each other again. Chen Fan'er's smile was like the warm sun in winter, she held Cheng Yu's hand and made a guarantee.
Two months later, it will be the day of the selection of the embroidery woman, Chen Faner is so confident, the implication is that she will definitely be selected, and when the time comes, the family can move back to the state and county.
Cheng Yu smiled back and gave Chen Fan'er a hug.
"Miss Fan'er, come on!" "Xiao Fan'er, you must win!" ……
With everyone's expectation, Chen Faner sat in a sedan chair, accompanied by Song Qingsong, and set off for Linhai County.
Qingshui County is the northernmost county seat in Pingyang Prefecture, 300 miles away from Linhai County. Therefore, Chen Faner and his entourage chose to set off as soon as possible, so as not to miss the primary selection of embroidered girls during the Lantern Festival.
Chen Fan'er sat in the sedan chair, a little apprehensive. She took out Cheng Zhi's letter before leaving, and read it carefully:
"Fan'er, there are two things you need to pay attention to after entering Linhai County. First, you have to declare your surname 'Cheng', fortunately, it is similar to the pronunciation of your original surname, and you only need to register as 'Cheng Fan'er when you sign up; ”
"I can only say sorry to you for the cold thing. The sins I created back then have now reaped the bitter fruits, and I can be regarded as self-inflicted. I know you're a kind-hearted child, but you need to know that you need to be on guard. The social relations of the state and county are complicated, and you must be cautious everywhere so as not to be left behind. ”
"Good luck. Cheng Zhi. ”
Chen Fan'er folded the letter, remembering Cheng Zhi's entrustment, and then took out the jade pendant and carefully identified it.
"This jade pendant is so exquisite. Well, when I got to the state and county, I went to visit the Xu Divine Doctor first. Just as Chen Fan'er was thinking about it, the little white jade spider climbed from the back of his hand to the jade pendant.
Chen Fan'er was slightly startled, and felt that this spider was very kind, so he let it crawl on the jade pendant.
The jade spider bounced lightly, accompanied by circles of spider silk, and when it landed on the ground, it changed into a little girl.
The youngest daughter has short white hair and is dressed in white, and her red eyes are particularly eye-catching. She stared at Chen Fan'er, smiled slightly, and said in a milky voice:
"Meet the master."
"Master? It's me? Chen Fan'er looked around, in this small car, there were indeed only two people, herself and this little girl.
"Yes master, my name is 'Conscience', and you hatched me." The little girl got close to Chen Fan'er, held Chen Fan'er's hand with her two little hands, and rubbed her little cheeks back and forth on her hands, expressing her intimacy.
"My hatched ......" Chen Fan'er thought of the past, quickly pulled out his hand, and asked nervously: "Are you the descendant of the Red Spider Queen?!" ”
The conscience found that Chen Fan'er was defensive of herself, her face was innocent, she almost wanted to cry, and said with a crying voice: "Who is the spider queen?" The conscience is the master's child. ”
"Oh, don't cry, don't cry." Chen Fan'er immediately returned his right hand to the conscience. Conscience held Chen Fan'er's hand, then burst into laughter, and continued to rub her little face coquettishly.
"But I don't understand why I can 'hatch' you ......?" Chen Fan'er felt that the word "hatching" was extremely twisted, which made her unconsciously think of the body after refining the spider. He is a normal person, he does not have as many legs and limbs as spiders, nor does he have a fat hindquarter, so he can't hatch any small spiders at all.
"Master, you were poisoned two months ago." looked at Chen Fan'er with a long conscience.
"yes, how do you know? Wait, you mean, that poison hatched you? Chen Fan'er asked suspiciously.
"The water is very fragrant and sweet, and I love it." Questioning smacked his lips and said with a smile: "But that bad woman wants to harm the master, so I punished her." ”
"In this way, Leng Qingsu's inexplicable confession of the truth is also because of you." Chen Fan'er felt that this matter was getting more and more strange, she looked her heart up and down, and her heart was full of thoughts.
"I can dive into other people's minds and make her tell the truth. I feed on the 'truth', and the more I hear the truth, the stronger I become. ”
Chen Fan'er nodded, and said in her heart. Then he took out the small gray bead and asked, "What about this?" What does it do to you? ”
"It turned out to be it." Questioning Heart carefully examined the bead, his blood-red eyes rolled drippingly, and replied: "There is also a spider in this bead, named 'Lost Words', which belongs to the same group of spiders as me. No wonder I thought the bowl of water was delicious, it turned out to be its breath. ”
"Gaffes...... Ask your heart, do you have a way to detoxify? Chen Fan'er judged that this pair of spiders should be mutually reinforcing, and maybe there was a way for Cheng Yu to recover without looking for a miracle doctor.
Questioning heart scratched his head, pouted and said with a slight grievance: "Master, I have eaten too little 'truth', and I don't have the ability to spit silk." As long as the silk I spit out sticks to the throat of the poisoner, after seven days, the poison will be solved. ”
"Eat the truth, how to eat? How much do I need to eat? ”
"In fact, as long as the owner keeps me in a densely populated place, I will naturally be able to eat the 'truth'. Generally speaking, it is enough to eat enough for 1,000 people. The thought of being able to eat a lot of fragrant "truths" made it flow from the corners of his mouth.
"A thousand?" Chen Fan'er thought for a moment and said, "No problem, but you have to promise me that you are not allowed to hurt anyone." ”
Questioning happily, he rubbed Chen Fan'er's palm back and forth with his little hand, and said, "Master, I am a junior spider." If you really want to hurt someone, you must at least go to the intermediate level. Also, I'm not a fighting type, I just like to eat ......"
"Well, that's for the best. By the way, do you have a way to release this 'gaffe' spider? ”
"Of course there is......" Just as he was about to answer, the sedan curtain was opened.
Chen Fan'er suddenly sat back in a panic, only to see Song Qingsong looking at herself suspiciously, and asked, "I heard a little girl's voice......
But at this time, there was only Chen Fan'er in the car, and her conscience instantly turned back into a spider and crawled into Chen Fan'er's cuffs.
"No, I don't. Maybe I just fell asleep and whispered. Seeing that the other party didn't notice, Chen Fan'er looked much calmer.
"Well, maybe I misheard. It's almost noon, and there's a teahouse in front of us, so let's sit down and have a bite to eat. Song Qingsong checked the car again, then beckoned the sedan driver to stop and prepare for a lunch break.
