Chapter 16: Someone from the Temple of Torture
Chen Fan'er doesn't know Li Hong's details, just because she has a weird personality and is difficult to get along with. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Since the other party ignores it, he doesn't have to warm his face to stick it, or the key is to grind the iron stone in front of him into a needle first.
"The shape of this piece of iron has not changed in any way. But, if I'm not mistaken, the red lines on this stone seem to have changed? Under her careful observation, she finally found a breakthrough.
Chen Fan'er took out a pen and paper, roughly traced the lines on the iron and stone, and then grinded it back and forth more than 20 times.
"Grunt, grunt......" Just when comparing the difference in lines, my stomach growled with hunger.
"That's it, fill your stomach first." Chen Fan'er smiled bitterly and shook his head, if Nangong Sixteen lived with him at this time, the two of them would still be able to take care of each other.
Putting away the two stones and walking to the door, she looked back at the bed next to her: Li Hong stuffed her whole head with the quilt and didn't make any sound.
"Sister Fan'er, are you going to eat too?" At this moment, Yan Qinghuan came out of nowhere, pounced forward, and grabbed Chen Fan'er's right arm.
Chen Fan'er was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and replied: "There is no progress in grinding the needle, and my stomach is a little unbearable." It's not too early, let's go? ”
"Huh? Sister Li Hong is sleeping again? Yan Qinghuan looked curiously into the inner room, saw the pair of embroidered shoes in front of Li Hong's bed, and asked guessingly.
"Hmm. She told me not to disturb, and I couldn't take it upon myself to wake her up. ”
"Well, she's pretty weird. I can't see anyone all day, let's go, let's eat. ”
Yan Qinghuan jumped and dragged Chen Fan'er towards the direction of the dining house.
Under the cover of night, the embroidery girl floated in the low sky, wherever she passed, the lantern would light up by itself, and the candles on the candlestick would also flash fire, and the whole Shang Xiu Bureau suddenly became brightly lit.
Not long after the two left, a sneaky figure appeared in front of the door of room A, and at this time, Li Hong lifted the quilt and slowly got up from the bed.

Speaking of Chen Fan'er, because she is not familiar with Yan Qinghuan, she can't find any common topics on the road. The two walked for a while, and they were also quite silent.
"I envy you." Yan Qinghuan took the initiative to find a topic and said: "That stone is so heavy, it will be very difficult for me to move it, let alone push it." ”
"Pushing may not have an effect, I have been grinding for a whole afternoon, and I have not seen any improvement." Chen Fan'er said with relief.
"Actually, I don't think it's that simple. I heard that Li Shangxiu entered the embroidery road at the age of ten, and it can be seen that needle grinding should be a technical job, not a pure physical strength. ”
Chen Fan'er nodded in agreement, and then she understood the reason why Yan Qinghuan came to her, it should be that she wanted to discuss the skills of grinding needles together.
"Sounds like Sister Yan has discovered something?" Chen Fan'er asked tentatively.
"Sister, you have been grinding all afternoon, I have been staring at the stone for an afternoon, and my eyes are full of gold, and I haven't seen any fame." Yan Qinghuan tugged on Chen Fan'er's sleeve and said with a smile: "Sister, you are so smart, you were the first to discover the location of the embroidery lady in the corridor, you must have gained something, right?" ”
Chen Fan'er shook his head and denied: "It hasn't been verified yet, but there are a few conjectures." ”
"If my sister finds something, I must share it with my sister." Yan Qinghuan smiled very relatablely, making it difficult to refuse.
While chatting, the two quickly walked to the dining hall.
There are a lot of people who have dinner, and when you walk in the door, you can see those embroidered girls wearing green brocade clothes and various needle hairpins on their heads, eating quietly at the dining table.
Newcomers like Chen Faner are often eye-catching and easy to distinguish, because the biggest difference is the hairpin.
"Sister Ning, here and here." After Yan Qinghuan entered the hall, he suddenly greeted the woman who stretched out his hand not far away.
This embroidery girl known as Sister Ning doesn't look very old, and she hasn't been in the Shang Embroidery Bureau for a few years. She seemed to be waiting for Yan Qinghuan on purpose, and when she saw her greeting, she immediately walked over with small steps.
"Sister Fan'er, let me introduce you. This is Ning Jue of the Siyi Academy, she is the handicap! ”
There are two clothes under the clothing courtyard, and each clothing has a number of clothes under its name, usually no more than three, and the official rank is eight products.
"I've seen the Gaze Palm Clothes." Although Chen Faner didn't know the purpose of Yan Qinghuan's recommendation, he still had to do a full set of etiquette for his predecessors.
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite. It seems that Sister Yan is quite likable, and there are really a lot of friends around. Ning Jue's conversation is generous, and like Yan Qinghuan, he is very affinity.
"You bought the food and sat on the second floor, it's getting dark, and the adults have already finished eating."
"Hmmm! Sister Fan'er, let's go, let's pick up dinner. Yan Qinghuan really ignored the etiquette, and pulled Chen Fan'er to the small window for the selection of meals.
Chen Fan'er was a little unaccustomed to it, and when she was pulled away, she still saluted respectfully.
The choice of dinner is relatively rich, with a variety of meat and vegetarian dishes, and they are freshly selected and grilled to ensure freshness.
Yan Qinghuan had a small appetite, and only picked two vegetarian dishes to pay off the bill; Chen Faner prefers to eat meat, braised pork, roast duck, and beef skewers all came, but I didn't see her choose any vegetarian dishes.
When the two of them walked up to the second floor with the dishes, they saw that in the only room with an open door, Ning Jue was closing his eyes and breathing.
"Maybe in the future, when I cultivate the divine arts, every second counts." Chen Fan'er thought to herself, and as Yan Qinghuan sat down, she didn't dare to disturb.
During the meal, Ning Jue never opened her eyes. The two of them were eating with their heads bored, and the small room seemed extraordinarily quiet.
"Sister, you and Ning Zhangyi are old acquaintances?" Chen Fan'er swallowed a piece of duck meat and asked curiously.
"No, I met on the first day I came in. She's fine! Yan Qinghuan carefully held a grain of rice and slowly put it in his mouth.
Chen Fan'er was slightly shocked, today she finally understood what "self-cooked" was.
After eating and putting away the tableware, the two sat quietly at the table and waited for Ning Jue to finish practicing.
"Whew-" I heard her let out a long breath of turbidity, and her face instantly turned a lot more rosy, which meant that she had finished her work.
"I've kept you waiting. I just saw you two in front of the store, and I was suddenly touched. In order to grasp this glimmer of inspiration, I wanted to immediately understand it, but I didn't expect it to take so long to settle down. Ning Jue said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, it's okay, Sister Ning, tell me the trick of sharpening needles. I can't even push that iron stone, and if I continue like this, I will be eliminated by the Shang Xiu Bureau! Yan Qinghuan said straight to the point.
Chen Fan'er glanced at Yan Qinghuan in surprise, such an important secret, why did this woman share it with herself? Does the other party have a request for himself?
"Maybe she's really just an innocent and cute little girl." Looking at Yan Qinghuan's clear eyes, Chen Fan'er suddenly felt that he was too much of a city government and thought of others too worldly.
"Sister Yan, you really like to laugh. With your understanding, you will be able to understand the mystery of the iron stone in your hands in two days at most, so why bother to ask me? Ning Jueyu lightly covered her thin lips with her hand, and said with a smile, "Each selected iron stone has a different method of sharpening the needle. I can only tell you that you will gain something by observing your own iron and stone from the heart. ”
"What is the heart?" Yan Qinghuan tilted his little head and hurriedly asked.
"The heart is ...... Hey? Suddenly, a colorful sparrow flew in from the window, holding a note in its mouth, and landed in Ning Jue's hand.
Ning Juedai's eyebrows were slightly raised, her expression became a little dignified, and when she finished reading the content of the note, her eyes turned to Chen Fan'er again, and she lowered her voice and said:
"Someone from the torture hall wants to invite you to sit in the torture court, what did you commit?"
"Me?"
Chen Fan'er looked dazed. (To be continued.) )
