CHAPTER XXII
Hongmian frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "I don't know about this." Anyway, the head of the Montenegrin family didn't say so. ”
"Oh!"
I leaned back to the head of the bed in disappointment, unable to refresh myself.
Seeing that I was stunned, Hongmian didn't say anything, picked up the basin and left, and after a while, she walked in with a food box, followed by Huang Bai, holding a low kang table.
Hongmian commanded Bai Huang to set up the kang table, and then sat down on the edge of the bed with the table sideways.
"Come, try my craft."
As he spoke, Cotton Tree opened the food box and brought out the cups, plates and bowls inside.
I glanced at it and saw that it was all porridge and side dishes, but it was served in a porcelain bowl and porcelain plate with burnt gold edges, which looked exquisite, but I didn't have much appetite for it.
After all, it was the kindness of the red cotton, although I was not very hungry, but I also picked up the bowl and chopsticks to taste, but as soon as I put the porridge bowl to my mouth, I saw the little fox with the black tail jump in from outside the door, jumped on the bed, and then stared at the bowl in my hand with blazing eyes.
"You want to eat too?" I tried to ask.
The little fox stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, then his ears fluttered twice.
Hmm, this is a move that the fox clan likes.
I looked at the red cotton and wanted to ask her if she had any extra porridge for the little fox to eat, but I saw her pursing her lips and looking at the little fox, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.
I quietly put down my chopsticks, pushed the bowl in front of the little fox, and said, "Eat if you like, you are my savior."
After that, he touched the little fox's ear.
The little fox didn't seem to like my touch, and tried to avoid my hand, but it bumped into the porridge bowl in front of him, and a bowl of hot white porridge suddenly toppled over on the rattan mat. Seeing that I was fine, he first helped me to sit on the low couch by the window, and then moved the kang table, lifted the rattan mat from the bed, rolled a few rolls casually, and called Bai Huang, and saw the cat demon quietly walked in, and went out to wash the dirty mat.
I sat cross-legged on the low couch, looking at the red cotton with apologies on my face, and the little fox, as the culprit, squatted beside me with an innocent face, circled himself with his big fluffy tail, and then put the tip of his tail between the two front paws, and curled there to amuse himself.
Kapok ...... After all, it's a demon!
I looked at the busy back of the red cotton tree and sighed silently, and just wanted to speak, I saw Bai Huang hurriedly walked in, and said to the red cotton: "Mrs. Qing is here." ”
Hongmian was coming out of the cabinet with a new mattress to replace the wet one on the bed, and he was also stunned when he heard this, and asked Bai Huang: "What is she doing?" ”
Bai Huang glanced at me, then lowered his head and did not speak.
Seeing this, Hongmian put the mattress on the bed and said, "I'll go out and have a look!" ”
Before the words fell, someone outside the door said, "You don't need to go out, I'll come in and show you!" ”
As he spoke, a person walked in from outside the door - it was Mrs. Qing.
Mrs. Qing bowed her head slightly, then turned her face to me, looked up and down, and then said, "You are Lin Xiaoxian'er?" ”
Seeing me nodding, Mrs. Qing said: "I left in a hurry yesterday, I didn't have time to talk to you, I came today, just to make amends for my stupid son and you, if you think I am not sincere enough, I will call my stupid son to come over, but, yesterday Qixia Temple was on fire, my stupid son was burned bald, come here now, a little disheveled, don't be weird!" ”
Belch?
It took me a while to figure out what Madame Qing meant.
It seems that this young lady is really straightforward.
I still like to deal with people with this kind of temperament! I waved my hand at Mrs. Qing and said, "You don't need to come over, you just need to return my blood." ”
Mrs. Qing looked at me, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I will give you an explanation about the matter of Xuepo, but, can you ask the Cotton Tree Girl to avoid it?" ”
Hongmian frowned when he heard this, but he still didn't say anything after all, turned around and retreated with Bai Huang, and covered the door for me when he left.
Mrs. Qing listened attentively, and when she confirmed that the red cotton was far away, she said to me: "Last night, a fire broke out in Qixia Temple, and the entire temple turned into a scorched earth......
Qixia Temple?
It's where the White Rabbits live! It seems that when I was about to fall asleep last night, I vaguely heard someone say something!
Who's the voice?
I was thinking to myself when I heard Lady Qing pause and then said, "That blood amber fell into the fire and disappeared. ”
What the?
I was suddenly excited.
Seeing that I didn't believe it, Mrs. Qing smiled bitterly, and then sat down on the round stool next to the couch, and said: "I originally planned to let San'er compensate you after cleaning up my uncompetitive Langjun, and return the blood amber to you by the way, who would have thought that there was a sudden fire in the middle of the night, and the formation of the seal was hidden in the fire, and it took a lot of effort for a few of us to break the seal and escape, but I didn't want to, and I couldn't find the blood amber after I came out." So I guess the blood amber probably fell on the fire......"
"Do I look like a good deceit?" I interrupted Mrs. Qing a little embarrassed: "Who knows if you set the fire!" ”
Really, do I have the words "people are stupid and easy to deceive" written on my face? Why do you think I'm a fool one by one?
I'm a fox, okay!
Cunning fox!
"I went to the fire to find it later!" When Mrs. Qing saw me like this, her face turned a little colder: "There is only a piece of rubble left in the fire, and nothing else is left." I didn't find this until dawn when I found this in the rubble! ”
As he spoke, he threw something in front of me, and I reflexively reached out to catch it, and saw that it was a boxy handkerchief.
I looked at Madame Qing, and then opened the veil to see a few inches of silver-white fox fur inside.
That's right, it's fox fur!
A faint familiar breath spread through my nose, and I suddenly panicked as I held those fox furs.
"What is this?"
I asked quietly.
Madame Qing glanced at me and said expressionlessly, "This is what I found from the fire, you should know better than me what this is." ”
I was so choked that I couldn't speak.
I steadied myself, and then retorted, "Who knows where you got a few fox furs, even if they were really found in the fire, what does that have to do with me?" You're going to have to pay for my blood anyway. ”
As soon as the words came out, I saw that Mrs. Qing's face sank, and a solemn aura spread from her side, and the little fox beside her pricked up his ears and whimpered in a low voice.
Seeing this, I hurriedly half explained and half accused: "Your good husband tricked me into eating the cloud immortal and stole my blood amber, and your good boy still wants to kill me!" Anyway, it was your family who made the first move on me, I am not related to you, you must protect your family, so I don't believe your words! ”
