Chapter Twenty-Four: The Idiot
Zhou County Commander took Xiao Xiao and Xiao Baozi to a blue-tiled house in the deserted east of the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He stood there dejectedly, not daring to ring the brass ring on the door. He slowly tore off the human skin mask on his face, exposing his originally clear and resolute face in front of Xiao Xiao and Xiao Baozi.
Xiao Baozi looked at Zhou County's order unhappily, but he didn't urge it.
Xiao Xiao saw his slightly childish appearance, and couldn't help covering his mouth and sneering. Xiao Baozi looked down and saw her smiling, and blushed a little.
In the end, Zhou County's order buckled the copper ring. After a while, there was a sound of footsteps inside, and then the door was opened, and an old woman with gorgeous hair leaned out half of her body to look at Xiao Xiao and the others. When she saw Zhou Xianling, her weak and empty eyes finally had a hint of brilliance, "My lord, are you back?" ”
Zhou Xianling nodded, and naturally asked, "What about Yang'er?" ”
"Very well," said the old woman, who opened the door and waited respectfully, "he finished half a bowl of rice by himself today." ”
"You said the same before," Zhou Xianling shook his head, obviously not believing the old woman's words, "He has been staying here honestly lately?" ”
The old woman replied: "I ran out a few times, but I found them all back." ”
"How many times?" Zhou Xianling frowned, "His mood is becoming more and more unstable. You take us in. ”
The old woman answered, and took Zhou County's order Xiao Xiao and Xiao Baozi in. Walking into the green tile house, the inside is clean and simple, except for the tables, chairs and pans, there are only many interesting children's things left. Small grasshoppers made of grass, fist-sized balls made of glass beads, and wooden flowers that unscrew themselves at the push of a switch, are all neatly stacked on the table. The corners of the tables and chairs are tied with thick pieces of cloth to make them smooth. Xiao Xiao and Xiao Baozi were a little stunned, because they saw a thin and weak man sitting behind the table, he was drooling, and he was concentrating on pushing a small carriage, unaware of the visitor.
Xiao Xiao and Xiao Baozi seemed to have an understanding, and after glancing at each other, they stopped talking.
Zhou Xianling walked up to the man and squatted down, carefully wiped his saliva for him, and then the man looked up at him, grinning and smirking, "Ah...... Ah......h
He seemed to be about to say something, but all he could do was make a bang, but he seemed to be in a good mood.
Zhou Xianling's face was gentle, he touched the man's head dotingly, and asked softly, "Have you eaten?" ”
"Ah...... Ah......h
Zhou Xianling laughed, and patiently wiped it off for him, "I heard Granny Chen say that you finished eating half a bowl of rice by yourself, didn't you?" ”
The man made a few more sounds, a little smug, Zhou Xianling praised him with a few words of relief, and said seriously in a blink of an eye: "But you have run out a few times without permission." ”
The man glared at Granny Chen a little annoyed, and pouted silently. Zhou Xianling shook his head with a wry smile, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, the man's eyes lit up, he hurriedly grabbed the cloth bag and opened it, and happily took out the various sugar cubes in it and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Slow down......" Zhou Xianling said gently, without his previous solemnity.
Xiao Xiao and Xiao Baozi looked shocked, this person who had deliberately sought the position of county magistrate and was ruthless to murder everyone who knew about it, actually had such a tender side.
Zhou Xianling gestured to Granny Chen, and Granny Chen hurriedly stepped forward to coax the man into the room to eat candy. Zhou Xianling got up, and the smile on his face disappeared at some point, leaving only vicissitudes and firmness. He turned to Xiao Baozi and said, "Now you should know what I want to do with Qiye Xiangcao." ”
Xiao Baozi nodded and said, "No wonder you have to collect so many rare herbs......"
"Huh?" Xiao Xiao didn't understand, she pulled the sleeve of the little bun.
Xiao Baozi explained: "In addition to prolonging life, the seven-leaf grass can also open the mind, but the probability is extremely low......"
There was a hint of obscurity in his voice. He replied a little distraught.
Xiao Xiao was stunned and began to examine the Zhou County Order again. It turns out that cruel people are not ruthless, but pour out all their love in one place, and cannot irrigate other wilderness with one more drop.
"The probability is low...... Zhou Xianling said and picked up the wooden flowers on the table and played with them, "But it's low...... It's all worth trying......"
His words were silently suspended in the blue-tiled house, ethereal like the mist on the sea.
"Childe...... You haven't slept all night?! The little boy said in astonishment as he walked into the room with his eyes open.
The fire and candlelight had long since been extinguished, and the room was shivering, and his son-in-law sat there quietly, his eyes indifferent.
"I've thought about it a lot......," he said slowly.
The boy shook his head, and carefully added a fire, and the room was warmed up by the red-hot coals. He put his hand on the stove again, slowly flipping it over. The little boy waited beside him and asked softly, "Childe, do you want to prepare some breakfast?"
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, just prepare a bowl of porridge."
"Childe," the boy frowned, "you should eat more." ”
"Oh......" he smiled, "I'll eat more later." ”
"Childe!" The little boy hurriedly said, "I mean you eat more of the others, even if it's a vegetarian dish!" ”
"......" he pressed his right index finger against his forehead, as if he was a little tired, "tasteless." ”
The little boy seemed to anticipate his son-in-law's answer, and he couldn't bear to say, "Childe...... Time has passed, why can't you get along with yourself? ”
He stared at the stove, his thoughts wandering like light smoke.
The little boy had to call the little maid to make breakfast first. The little girl had clear eyebrows, and when she saw the little boy, she always lowered her head to look at her toes, or stirred her fingers uncomfortably. But she was very serious about what she did. Before the little boy finished speaking, she sighed, and hurried to the kitchen to tell the cook to get busy.
The little boy stood at the door and said angrily: "Yuhe, this girl is not waiting to see me?" See that I always keep my head down! I didn't bully her! ”
When he saw this scene, he was slightly distracted, and a smile unconsciously crept up his face.
