Chapter Sixty-Eight: Let's Go to Sleep First
Chapter 68
"Why is it Dou Ba?"
Neither Zuo Idiot nor Chu Jing answered this question, because even they themselves couldn't think through it.
For someone like Dou Ba who knows too many things, why didn't Song Yuqiu kill Dou Ba directly, but instead found a stand-in to steal the day?
Nowadays, everyone in the world thinks that Dou Ba is dead, what is the benefit of this for Song Yuqiu?
"That's right! Could it be because of the physique? ”
Dou Ba suddenly thought of something, and suddenly exclaimed.
When the three of them heard this, they immediately turned their heads and looked at Dou Ba very suspiciously.
"Physique? Is there something different about your physique? Chu Jing frowned and asked, but was immediately questioned by Zuo.
I only heard Zuo Idiot speak immediately after Chu Jing finished speaking:
"I don't think so, if it's because Dou Ba's physique is different from ordinary people, then according to Deng Si'er's description of the scene at that time, the remaining seven people should have something in common with Dou Ba's physique, so they will be used together for testing, in this case, Song Yuqiu has already been able to find seven people similar to Dou Ba's physique, how could he not find the eighth? Instead, take the risk of leaving Dou Ba behind? ”
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, it's not that there is anything special about my physique."
Dou Ba saw that Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing had some relative looks between their words, and hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Isn't it because you have a special constitution? Then why did Song Yuqiu catch you to try that weird potion? Wouldn't it be better for you to have your head cut off directly?! Save it like this, but it will make you run away. ”
As soon as Deng Si'er heard Dou Ba say this, he immediately said with an exaggerated expression.
"It's not like what Little Brother Deng said, hey! …… Anyway, you let me think about it! Wait......"
Dou Ba was in a hurry for a while, his tongue was a little not very sharp, he sat there thinking about the words, but the ink in his stomach was really limited, and his head was confused in a hurry, and he couldn't figure it out, and he was so anxious that his head was full of bright beads of sweat.
"Dou Ba, don't worry, think slowly, now you have escaped from the Song Mansion, although you have skin injuries all over your body, but in the end you have been locked up for nearly a month, and you don't have to be reluctant if you are not in good spirits, wait for you to think about what to say, and then tell us."
Chu Jing looked at Dou Ba's sweaty appearance, patted Dou Ba's shoulder comfortingly, and said gently.
Dou Ba immediately breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Chu Jing gratefully, and nodded again.
"I don't think it's too reluctant, you can't rush everything, it's not too early now, I think it's better to let Dou Ba have a good rest tonight, what's the situation, let's talk about it when Dou Ba remembers."
Zuo Idiot glanced at the situation here, and then tilted his head to look out the window, the sky was extremely dark, and they had been staying in the room to discuss things since they came back from the Song Mansion, and they should really let Dou Ba rest first.
Presumably, after Deng Si'er was separated from him and Chu Jing in the Song Mansion, it took a lot of effort to escape and hide all the way, so Deng Si'er should also be told to take a good rest.
Deng Si'er felt a burst of fatigue when he heard Chu Jing speak, and now he heard Zuo Zhi say the same thing, so he immediately nodded and said in response:
"Yes, yes, it's okay if you don't say it, I really feel so tired when I talk about it...... By the way, Brother Dou Ba, you have injuries on your body, let's sleep well first, let's talk about what you have to say when you think about it, we still have a long time to investigate. ”
Yes, they still have a long way to go in the case they want to investigate.
Chu Jing and Zuo Idiot glanced at each other, but they never saw the slightest retreat in each other's eyes, maybe they had few clues so far, and the huge mystery hidden in the darkness had not yet been glimpsed, but this road, since it had already been set foot on, was bound to go to the end.
Zuo Idiot looked at Deng Si'er and said this to Dou Ba with a smile, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, yes, no matter what happens in the future, he must give Deng Si'er a satisfactory answer.
Fortunately, there was still a spare room in the courtyard that Xia Yuan had prepared for them, but Zuo Idiot had never done such a thing as tidying up the room, and Chu Jing could only hold a sword, so he had to let the reluctant Deng Si'er clean up the house for Dou Ba.
However, Deng Si'er symbolically took a quilt or helped carry a few buckets of bath water, and then went back to his room to sleep.
Coincidentally, it was Chu Jing's turn to sleep on the couch outside Deng Si'er's room today, and after the two washed and slept, they chatted with each other.
"Uncle Jing, I saved Dou Ba today." Deng Si'er said.
"Yes, that's good." Chu Jing replied.
"I didn't give it to the guards of the Song Mansion today." Deng Si'er said again.
"Yes, that's good." Chu Jing also replied.
"I have important discoveries today." Deng Si'er raised his voice and said again.
"Yes, that's good." Chu Jing continued.
Deng Si'er suddenly sat up from the bed and looked at the back of Chu Jing's head, although "very good" had one more word than the previous "very good" and "good", Deng Si'er still gritted his teeth and said unwillingly:
"I didn't hold you back today, I didn't make a mess for you, I can handle everything myself!"
"Go to sleep." Chu Jing turned over and said casually perfunctorily.
"Hmph," ignoring it, Deng Si'er lifted the quilt, wrapped most of his body and fell to the bed, muttering that he didn't know what he was talking about, anyway, Chu Jing didn't hear a word clearly.
After a long while, Chu Jing listened to Deng Si'er's babble that was already asleep but still vibrant, and the corners of his mouth were about to rise unconsciously.
"This silly boy."
Although Chu Jing didn't speak, he gave a great deal of recognition to Deng Si'er's performance this time, because after Deng Si'er dispersed with them, he completely relied on his own strength to bring Dou Ba out of the Song Mansion.
Although he was found in front of the Song Mansion, fortunately, Zuo Idiot appeared in time to rescue him, so that he was able to retreat from the trip to the Song Mansion tonight.
Therefore, the biggest key to the success or failure of this trip is still Deng Si'er's ability to get out of danger smoothly.
Otherwise, Deng Si'er was accidentally discovered and caught by the guards of the Song Mansion, and everything that happened after that and everything that Dou Ba knew would be reduced to nothingness.
Presumably, in Zuo's heart, the same is true......
Although the night in early autumn was a little cold, it was exceptionally quiet, and even the four of them slept very sweetly.
Quietly, waiting for the light before dawn......
