Chapter 4 Evening primrose

Headache to death.

Sitting quietly in a corner of the room, I rubbed my temples with a blank expression.

Fritz. Commodore Selnir looked gloomy after being surprised, and first ordered the pursuit of those who had brought the berries earlier, and then his lieutenant summoned a group of men to surround the farm.

It wasn't long before the atmosphere was replaced by a tense sense of solemnity in the air.

Perhaps the 'poisoning' of this kind of thing touched a sensitive nerve, and even if it failed, the admirals who also consumed here in the restaurant also sent people one by one, and the room seemed chaotic after several inquiries and condolences.

Twenty minutes later, the chase had a bad result, and the man who had delivered the basket of sour berries was found and killed with a knife in a secluded alley not far from the restaurant.

Extinguish the mouth.

After receiving the news, the senior admirals of the navy, who originally just asked their subordinate adjutants to ask about the truth, appeared in person, and they did not move before, thinking that the 'poisoning' was not sure of the authenticity, right?

Surrounding the food village and chasing down the person who gave the gift is a habitual precautionary behavior, and now that the person has been killed, the 'poisoning' is sure that there is really something to do, so it is the high-ranking general who is also here that he is alarmed.

Mr. Brigadier General was busy dealing with his fellow superiors, and I took the time to hide in a corner, with a headache and a horror.

This shop tonight... If not unexpected, it's really blooming.

From their chaotic conversations, I knew the reason for the gathering of senior admirals here tonight, in order to celebrate Vice Admiral Ghost Spider's recovery and discharge from the hospital, and the generals of his family were basically present.

When I first came, I said that I was familiar with the figure inside who happened to open the door, and it turned out that I had really taken care of the lieutenant general for more than half a month.

And then again... Fritz. Commodore Selnir must not be very close to Vice Admiral Ghost Spider, otherwise I don't think he would have chosen such a place for a blind date, and now that there is an accident, the expression of the person who came is wonderful, or the rumors in the Navy Headquarters will be noisy tomorrow, right?

From Fritz. Brigadier Selnier's expression could be seen that he was being cared for and ridiculed by the way, and the senior generals all had a little strange looks.

…………

I have a headache, not because I am being seen as a monkey, but because I am involved in trouble.

But there is no way, if the poisoning is successful, Brigadier Fritz dies, and the ensuing troubles are too much to deal with, I can let him die, but I have to think about the follow-up.

The results of the investigation are certainly not relevant to me, but the impact is inevitable, even affecting Nana, and I have to think about my daughter if I don't think about myself.

The world of adults is so tangled and painful, in the depths of justice in the naval headquarters of Marienford, to say that there is no darkness hidden, it is a nonsense to deceive children.

…………

After a few ups and downs, the noise in the room finally calmed down, and the last person who appeared seemed to be quite high, because the men became quiet when the paper door opened.

After a while, a sound that sounded indescribable sounded slowly, "yes ~ Fritz, you are really alert, there is almost no difference between the Beladona grass fruit and the sour berry, you can find it, it seems that the beauty on the side did not tell you to lower your vigilance~"

"Oh no, actually..."

Fritz. Brigadier Selnier's answer was hesitant, but before he could continue, Fang Cai's voice laughed again, "Yay~ The beauty of your night party must be frightened, right?" Comfort her tonight. ”

After laughing meaningfully, the man paused, and then said, "Yay~ Why don't you see your beauty?" ”

As the man's voice fell, the attention of the room began to focus, and I was suddenly called to hide in the corner to become the focus of the scene.

I hurriedly buried my head in a frightened manner, and the corners of my eyes twitched fiercely.

Before, the room was a mess, and everyone paid attention to the lucky Mr. Brigadier General and the basket of berries, and few people paid attention to my dispensable blind date, and some also glanced at it and then didn't continue to pay attention.

And then now it's okay... The new debutant, who was full of interest, opened his mouth... A room full of men stared at me cowering in the corner.

it! I have a social disorder!

"Yay~really..."There was a strange pause for a few seconds, and the man said insincerely, "What about the shy beauty~"

Ahhh~ I know that my appearance has not lowered the average beauty value, so you don't have to praise it so reluctantly, okay? Besides, it's okay to hurry up and investigate the truth, don't keep staring at me, ahhhhhhhh

I sat stiffly in place, complaining in my heart, for a long time, the erected cold hair keenly received the silent approaching aura, mixed with the smell of tobacco and alcohol, unhurried shrouded in this corner.

"Yay~ I seem to have seen you somewhere." With a strange curly voice, the tone of the voice seems confused when he speaks, "It's not always in Yumecho, right?" ”

"Mr. Yellow Ape General." Fritz. Brigadier General Selnir opened his mouth in time to save the scene, and as he spoke, he stepped forward, half-crouched beside me, and shook my hand on his knee, "Anna is a nurse and serves in the Navy Hospital. ”

"Oh~Anna~" The tail note was subtly raised a little, and the man known as the Yellow Ape General said in a tone of sudden realization, "You have been taking care of the ghost spider for nearly half a month, no wonder it is familiar." ”

"He said she was a sensible woman."

…………

Do you need me to answer 'I'm sorry'? Youncho, your brother-in-law!

Under Brigadier General Fritz's seemingly reassuring gaze, I raised my face, looked at eye level, and smiled gently, "It is my duty to take care of patients, and your praise is really undeserved." ”

And then, no more, because the atmosphere somehow suddenly became very weird.

At a glance, I saw that the patient who had been taking care of him for half a month had a face that was inexplicably black, and then his staggered gaze was farther away than the door, and there was a considerable area of storage.

The little sumo wrestler who had helped my family fix the sewer pipe last night had just taken the basket of berries, and he was about to turn his face away from his face when the two of them met at a glance, his eyes widened, and he paused imperceptibly before he took a step.

Quickly closing my gaze, I looked innocent again as if I didn't know anything, it had nothing to do with me, did it? It's a blind date dinner, and the men present are one vote... Haven't you ever eaten with a woman?

Turning my attention to flatten my gaze, I saw a pair of straight long legs wrapped in yellow and white striped trousers, and the other was the other one hanging down to the side of a finger... A deep purple fruit.

At first glance, it is no different from the high-end fruit sold in the market, the delicious sour berries from the New World, the appearance and smell are the same, and the same five-star fruit pedicle, which can be identified by its reticulation.

The fruit of Beladona grass, the scientific name of the world is 'belladonna', and it is also called Beladonna grass in this world, but it is very rare because of various reasons such as climate.

The newcomer has one on his finger and says exactly what it is called... But it saves a lot of things.

The basket of berries, just now I casually checked and found that most of the basket is belladonna, the light in the room is soft, the appearance of the fruit is not particularly careful to pay attention to the texture will not be found at all, if unfortunately into juice to drink, not to mention that Brigadier Fritz is dead, my blind date must also be inexplicably buried.

You must know that belladonna is a thing that carries a variety of alkaloids/poisons/poisons, two berries can kill a child, and ten to twenty berries can kill an adult.

Half a basket... Able to take down a herd of elephants.

Woe to you!

…………

After a long and strange silence, one of the generals took the lead in opening the round, and said a few nonsensical laughs, and then someone responded with a rather eye-catching smile, and while the atmosphere eased down a bit, the room was full of people and began to clear the room.

The lieutenants were the first to leave, then the heavily armed guards outside the corridor, and several of the main senior generals stayed behind for unknown reasons, probably because their admirals refused to leave?

The general yellow ape, the man in the yellow and white striped suit didn't know what he thought, so he sat down against the guest, and said with a smile that he was going to drink overtime to celebrate the ghost spider's discharge from the hospital, and so on, and it sounded like a speechless decision.

Speechless to speechless, the general's decision was thought that few people would object, so... It didn't take long for the room to be filled with good food and wine.

A vote of generals, lieutenant generals, and major generals pulled Brigadier General Fritz into the table, and by the way, one me.

Originally, I was going to say goodbye, but before I could open my mouth, I called back to block it, and the reason was very high-sounding, and the yellow ape general said, "yes~ Miss Anna has worked hard for half a month, and the ghost spider hasn't thanked her yet, is it rude for us to leave in a hurry?" ”

A man with a strange mouth fetish, when he opens his mouth, it is... It's hard to figure out what it means.

What can I say? Can I refute the high-ranking admiral's suggestion? Refuting it is really their 'rudeness'.

…………

The restarted celebration will push the glass and change the glass, the wine crisp and the ears are hot, fortunately the admirals did not let the accompanying girl in, otherwise I would be very embarrassed, or maybe there is no warbler and swallow to ease the banquet, and the banquet is a little boring.

Probably because he was not in the same line as them, Brigadier General Fritz became more and more strict, he drank without saying a word, and even blocked the wine that others had brought over for me, glass by glass, and these people took turns to see the corners of my eyes jump.

I always feel that the people on the side of Lieutenant General Ghost Spider are a bit like they want to pour Brigadier General Fritz directly down.

There were two people present who stayed out of the matter, one was the Yellow Ape General who sat at the top, and the other was the Ghost Spider Lieutenant General in the second seat.

The two, the yellow ape general poured himself a drink, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked unfathomable.

And Lieutenant General Ghost Spider, as a patient who had just been discharged from the hospital this morning, sat quietly without talking or drinking with a fierce face that absolutely scared the crying child.

After a while, Xu I stared at it for a long time, and the ghost spider lieutenant general suddenly cast his gaze over, and the two of them looked at each other, and before I could turn my face away, I saw that he squinted his eyes slightly, with a cold, beast-like dangerous look between his eyebrows.

My heart jumped at him staring at me, and for a moment my hairs stood on end as if I had suddenly opened the freezer door in the middle of summer.

After that, the ghost spider lieutenant general looked at the wrong one, and picked up the wine cup in front of him, raised it from a distance and raised his head to drink it dry, put down his hand, and slowly slid his fingertips over the rim of the glass, and the sharp edge of his eyes immediately rose, as if nothing had happened.

Lowering my eyes, I silently began to have a toothache.

The eyebrows and eyes of the lawsuit just a moment made people laugh, it was the yellow ape general sitting at the top, and after laughing, he opened his mouth in a manic voice, as if he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, "Yay~ Fritz, how can you snub your beauty?" ”

…………

The men's laughter fell silent for a moment, and the next moment Brigadier General Fritz replied in a low voice, "I take this matter very seriously, Mr. Yellow Ape. ”

"Miss Anna hasn't accepted it yet, though." Maybe he drank too much wine at once, and said that he tried to shake my hand holding the wine glass, his face was slightly red, and the wine struck at the moment he spoke, "Miss Anna————"

Before the corners of my eyes twitched violently, the man was about to say something in public when he was interrupted by a rush of running.

The footsteps were very urgent, and they came to the front at once, and the next second the paper door suddenly opened, "Old man." "The burly bodies of the little sumo wrestlers block the space tightly.

Looking around the room, Sentomaru's eyes seemed to be relaxed, and then he was immediately pushed to the side, and Nana rushed in with a crying look, "Mom! ”

Huh?!

Suddenly, there was a rush of soldiers, and the child who committed the bear lifted off the table in front of me, and the cups and dishes flew to the ground, buried his head in my arms, and grabbed my waist with both hands, and howled and cried.

Huh?!

Subconsciously hugged my own child, I touched her head, and then raised my eyes and glared at the little sumo wrestler vaguely, it must have been him who made this extra move to let Nana run, this is brainless... How the hell is alarmist?!

Unfortunately, the little sumo wrestler was also staring at Nana, and I quietly complained and asked him to touch it, and the young boy who was stared at somehow blushed.

…………

The confusion created a speechless scene, no one in the room spoke or drank, and Nana cried really sadly under the bath of all kinds of inexplicable eyes.

Sighing, I scratched her back like I did when I was a child, and whispered to comfort her, but the child didn't know what strange things were heard and shrunk in his arms, and his whole body trembled, crying so that my clothes were wet...

After a long time, Nana's crying subsided, but she began to burp after crying like she had done when she was a child.

And then~ I had to spare some attention to the side, "Sorry, can you please give me a glass of warm water?" ”

"My kid is really spoiled for me~"

Brigadier General Fritz's eyes widened in disbelief, he didn't say a word from the moment he was pushed aside by Nana, his whole body froze, and he didn't react when he heard me speak.

A moment later, it was the young sumo wrestler who handed him a glass of warm water, and the young boy blushed and refused to leave, and his eyes peeked at Nana from time to time.

The child who committed the bear was crying bitterly before he remembered that he was embarrassed, and he nestled in my arms without showing his face, and let me coax me for a while before he was willing to take a small sip of the water that was fed to her mouth.

When the whole glass of water was drunk, Nana didn't burp anymore, she raised her face and stared at the young boy in front of her, then immediately turned back and said in a dumb voice, "Mom, don't leave me." ”

I glanced up at the little sumo wrestler again, closed my gaze, and asked, "Nana, what strange thing did you hear?" ”

Hit this child like to be careful.,Sensitive and awkward.,It's definitely scared to be brainless.,You know, she's not going to be angry for years.,Tonight it's...

Nana's eyes were shocked, but Zhan Taomaru who brought her whispered, "Auntie, uh Lady Anna, Nana she was scared, the poisoning just now..."

Choked up, I was embarrassed to tell the two children that it was the brigadier general on the side who was 'poisoned', after all, he was still there, and it was really a bit bad to say this in person.

…………

After thinking about it, I decided to keep silent for the time being, anyway, Nana would get the truth later, so I still didn't rush to explain.

In silence, Brigadier General Fritz finally spoke back as if he were looking, "Anna, she's—" paused for a few seconds, and he looked horrified as I looked over, "Your daughter?" ”

Nonsense, isn't it mine, is it yours? I replied with a smile, "Didn't the Brigadier General know?" My case. ”

He said he knew it before, uh~ Could it be a misunderstanding?

Thinking about the unexpected, I patted Nana, sat the child up, and then introduced the two of them, "Nana, my daughter." ”

"Nana." I don't know a trace of reminding my own child who has a little bad face," Brigadier General Fritz. ”

"Well, I know that Miss Anna is married and has children, but—" Brigadier General Fritz Xu was so shocked that he stumbled over, "she's only three or four years old, isn't she?" I've seen Miss Anna play in the park with her children. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand to a small height, and his eyes were a little inquiring, "As dark as Miss Anna, boy." ”

"Ah~The year before last~" I thought about his words and then suddenly realized, "It's a neighbor's child, because the parents have something to ask me to take care of for a few months." ”

The neighbor's wife is in a hurry to go back to her parents' house, and her husband is a navy, and he happens to be stationed outside, so he can't find a reliable person for the time being, so he has to ask for me, but...

When he said that, I wanted to write about it www.biquge.info...

Brigadier General Fritz was the one he used to meet in the park at that time, right? Seems to like children very much.,A chance conversation.,Then every time I go to the park, I can see it.,Later...

Later, the child's father died on the voyage, and the child's mother came back to take the child out of Malinford, which was sad, and I did not go back to the park.

That's what went wrong, right?

But the point is... Brigadier General Fritz went on a blind date with the wrong person? Uh, that doesn't seem right either.

…………

"I, I went to the park and didn't see Miss Anna... Some people said that the father of the child was gone, and then—" The man's face was red, and his eyes kept looking at Nana, and he looked very surprised, "Caroline also said that Miss Anna was single with the child. ”

"It's so big..."

Brigadier Fritz's entanglement and horror, I really can't find any expression to face, well~ This situation is actually quite common, except for neighbors for more than ten years, everyone who saw Nana for the first time was very surprised, and by the way, a little suspicious...

Okay, okay~ I thought about it and took out the rhetoric that I didn't move for ten thousand years, "I got married because of my first love, Nana was a child born to me at the age of sixteen, not adopted." ”

I don't care if others misunderstand, but if I don't make it clear, Nana will be sad, when she was a child, in addition to being afraid that I would remarry and lose her, the rest is worried about the wild speculation of the adults in the family who are talking about the children outside, such as Nana was adopted by me...

She was precocious and sensitive, and she always hid and cried every time, so much so that I almost took her to a paternity test to calm her heart.

Listening to Brigadier General Fritz rehash the old story, I obviously felt that the bear child in my arms froze, and I had no choice but to explain it to outsiders again.

…………

"No, no, no, I'm just—" Brigadier General Fritz shook his hand, looking a little flustered, "It doesn't matter how old Miss Anna's child is, it's me who was too careless before..."

Before he finished speaking, the general Yellow Ape slammed in/in, "Yay~ quite affectionate~"

At this moment, as soon as the highest-ranking man in the room spoke, the attention of the others was invariably thrown over, and even Nana unconsciously sat up straight, pursed the corners of her mouth, and looked a little in awe.

After a brief silence, the Yellow Ape General smiled slowly and whispered, "I remember that in the archives, Nana's father died before she was born, right?" ”

The final tone of the question seemed to have a deep meaning, and when he spoke, the man strangely looked at the ghost spider on the side, "Sixteen years, it's really deep." ”
