Chapter 214: Exploring in the Dead of Night—Finally Discovered
Ling'er was unhappy with the boss in her heart, obviously she only came in when she heard her shout, since she opened her eyes and told nonsense, she didn't want to tell the truth even if she was killed. That's it, since no one plans to penetrate to himself, then he will go to find out in person and see what is wrong with the bottom.
"I'm already fine, I was tired yesterday, maybe I slept in a daze, you can go down and rest, there will be something tomorrow."
Seeing the cloud shadow turn off the lights and walk out of the door, Ling'er waited quietly for a while, and sure enough, it took a while before the sound of footsteps leaving came from outside the door.
Gently got out of bed, find a silk handkerchief to wrap up the night pearl, this thing doesn't feel anything during the day, and it looks extraordinarily bright at night, it's really a treasure in this era of no electricity. It was only after two layers of light that it was not so bright, Ling'er fumbled to get dressed, and looked overhead, it was still the same skylight as usual.
This palace is carved out of the cave, because the mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist all the year round, and the light is very bad, and each larger palace has a skylight at the top, and the cover is made of glass. In this way, it not only improves the light in the room, but also widens the view, which is really a good idea.
Ling'er had already noticed that the glass cover had a secret lock on the stone wall, as long as the lock was opened, it shouldn't be too difficult to lift the glass. Luckily, he flew up, stretched out his hand to pick the secret lock, stepped on the stone wall next to him with both feet, and gently pried it with the bloodthirsty hand in his other hand, only to hear the sound of "dang chang", since it was opened. Pushing open the glass cover with his hand, he climbed to the roof neatly.
It was late at night, and the night in the mountains was even darker, and Ling'er could only move forward by feeling. Fortunately, the Huanyi Courtyard is far from where he lives, and the first thing is the good smell of soap. I don't know what kind of soaphorn on the tree this is, the fragrance is fragrant, and the washed clothes are like incense, Ling'er especially likes this smell. The smell of soaphorn in the Huanyi courtyard is particularly obvious, and it does not enter from its main entrance, but fortunately, it is very easy to fly over the high walls everywhere with the help of light work, and one rises and falls into the courtyard. The sound of the stream "whooshing". It's especially clear in the middle of the night.
"The figure appeared from this water during the day, isn't there something boring underwater?" Ling'er looked around while thinking about it and found a wooden stick over, the stick was inserted into the water and there was no unusual feeling at all, except for hearing the sound of water or the sound of water for a long time. Ling'er was sweating tiredly. I simply put the stick back in its place, and came back with both feet in the water to enjoy the coolness of the stream. After playing like this for a while, I suddenly thought, just go down and take a shower, and it will not be in vain to come out in the middle of the night. As soon as this idea came up, he untied his belt, took off his coat, tied a knot, and tied it around his waist. "Plop" jumped into the water. The coolness of the stream made Ling'er, who was still sweating profusely, shiver, but fortunately, she had a good foundation and felt that she could bear it, not to mention her playful nature came out, and she plunged into the water and swam happily.
I don't know how long she swam, Ling'er surfaced and took a deep breath of fresh air. "Huh? I was obviously still in the yard of the Huanyi Courtyard just now, where did I get so many trees? With the light of the night pearl, Ling'er looked at the gloomy woods on both sides of the bank in wonder, could it be that the stream was connected to the outside world. I was just playful and floated down the river. Thinking of this, Ling'er was a little depressed, it was much more laborious to swim back like this than to come out.
Swim back hard, and you must return to the dormitory before dawn, otherwise you will not want to do anything in the future after arousing their suspicions. This smooth swim is that she didn't exert so much strength when she participated in the National College Swimming Competition, and she never knew how much potential she had if she didn't push herself, which is probably the case.
Maybe it's because you've been swimming for a long time, or maybe it's because you've been pushing too hard. Ling'er only felt the "buzzing" sound in her ears, at first she only thought it was caused by the impact of water, and then the voice became clearer and clearer, obviously all kinds of ** and crying. There is a problem ahead. Ling'er was subconsciously alert, as if it was a woman's cry and a baby's cry intertwined, which made people feel so anxious. It's all adult women, and the more immediate question of why there are children crying is that there are no men at all. Did all the women drink the water of the Mother and Son River? Ling'er didn't know whether to continue moving forward or return immediately, because seeing that the sky was already dark, it would be a big mistake not to go back. But giving up halfway like this is also depressing, there is obviously the sound of people moving outside, Ling'er made up her mind at the last moment not to rush for quick success, and today is here for the time being, it is serious to find a chance to come over again.
Return along the original road, because the sky is getting brighter, the field of vision is broad, the way back is very smooth, with the help of light work to avoid the crowded places on weekdays, to enter the dormitory, a moment of hanging heart to put back in place.
There was a sound of the door opening, and it was obvious that Yunying was trying to freshen up as much as possible. "The palace master is very tired today, you can come back in a moment, let me get up later."
Yunying smiled secretly, and at first glance, he was used to being pampered, but he was getting lazy day by day after being busy for the past two days, so he turned around and went back with a basin of water.
Ling'er changed her clothes and fell on the bed, as if she had fallen apart, and it was really fatal to toss for half a night. As soon as he closed his eyes, there were all kinds of intertwined cries in his ears, and the disturbed Ling'er couldn't fall asleep over and over, and his nervous head was dizzy. In the end, I had to get up and freshen up by myself, and when I opened the door, Yun Yingfang came in with something.
"How come the palace master's clothes are as if they have been washed?"
When Ling'er heard the sound, she secretly complained in her heart, and she forgot to hide her wet clothes for a while. But after thinking about it, she can't hide it, what she wears and eats every day is arranged by Yunying, and she can find it without a handkerchief, let alone such a set of clothes.
"It's very hot at night, so I took water and poured it on, don't say, this method is really good, it's really much cooler, but the palace master seems to be a little cold, and he has a headache." Looking at herself with a tired face in the bronze mirror, Ling'er subconsciously covered up.
Yun Ying said with a smile: "The slave didn't expect that the palace body was slightly rich, so it was the most afraid of heat, it was really a sin, I will remember to bring you some heat every night after today, this is not a difficult thing." ”
Ling'er scolded angrily: "What a dead girl, since you dare to make fun of me for being fat, see that the palace master will not punish you to wash your clothes in the Huanyi Courtyard." ”
Yun Ying couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, looking at Ling'er while laughing, "The slave maid is just saying that the palace master is blessed, not like the slave maid who is dry and thin, and the most unbearable wind and rain, it can be seen that he is a hard worker." ”
"You don't have to comfort the palace master, fat can't stop the temptation of food to me, it's just that yesterday I saw the cool water of the stream in Huanyi Courtyard. It would be nice to be able to go down and take a swim. Ling'er said as she peeked at Yunying.
The smile on Cloud Shadow's face disappeared instantly, and the shadow came up, bending down to pack up the change of clothes, and even forgot to say hello and walked out the door.
Ling'er was even more convinced that the sound she heard last night was not an illusion, but what kind of scene was inside. I don't know why, just thinking about it makes me feel very upset.
After breakfast, Honggu and the others arrived on time, but today Honggu still had something in her hand, and when they met, she said, "This is the roster that has just been revised by subordinates and other Dharma protectors." It is the latest, and the palace master is the most reliable in doing things according to this. ”
Ling'er saw it in her eyes, reached out and took another roster from the desk and said, "It's just a pity that this old one was wet by me yesterday, and it's useless to think about it, so it's better to throw it away." As he spoke, he casually threw it into the basin used to burn the discarded documents, and lit a fire and burned the thing directly in front of several people.
Honggu and the others were relieved, and they went out again to continue to deal with yesterday's unfinished business.
The place I went to today is called "Shantang", and the name is not like other places that are named according to the function, Ling'er took the name in his hand and looked at it, "Here are all young disciples." The youngest is only two years old, so do they need to be taken care of by a little older, but where are their parents? ”
"They have no father or mother, they are all purchased by my Bihai Tiangong with a lot of money, and they have income from their infancy, so they have nothing to do with the outside world."
Since the last time I ate Ling'er's things, Miao's attitude towards him has obviously changed, and his speech is not as stylized as before, and he has more human touch.
"Bought?" If this is the case, why is Yunying unwilling to answer herself, Ling'er muttered to herself. It seems that these people have already discussed how to deal with themselves, but they are afraid that they will not want to see the truth anymore with them.
"If there is that treacherous villain who abducts people and comes to buy and sell, wouldn't it hurt heaven and reason?"
"I don't have to worry about this palace master, my Bihai Heavenly Palace has been built for hundreds of years, so I naturally have my own set of methods. The palace master has not had much time to arrive, and he will understand it slowly. Miao said coldly, a few Dharma protectors came to count her scheming, and sometimes Honggu couldn't think of her, she could also knock on the side of the reminder, which can be regarded as half of the think tank of Bihai Heavenly Palace.
Ling'er was very unhappy to be topped by her like this. Helplessly, they are weak, they can follow themselves and for the sake of the old woman, if they fight with them as the palace master, I am afraid there will be no good fruit to eat. He sneered and said, "Exactly, there is a rule in one place, the master of this palace has just arrived, and if there is something that cannot be done in the future, he still needs a lot of advice from the sisters." So saying, he raised his feet and entered the good hall, and a woman who was in charge had already come to greet him.
When the tea was served, Ling'er looked at the furnishings while drinking tea, a statue of a Bodhisattva in the middle, and the rest were just some tables, chairs and benches, which looked more like a classroom for primary school students.
"Children, come out and see the palace master!"
A soft greeting came out, Ling'er looked back, only to feel that she had spent, the person who came was very similar to Nuo'er, but she didn't look like Nuo'er when she was dressed.
"Shantang steward Yi'er see the palace master!" Yi'er was slightly blessed.
Immediately after, two teams of girls with the same little tails came out one after another. The difference is that these children who are in the stage of innocence are very well-behaved, and even the youngest child is tightly grasping the placket of the person in front of him and following carefully.
Yi'er saw that Ling'er only cared about the child, and said again: "There are thirty-two people in total, the oldest is six years old, and the youngest has just turned two years old. ”
"Didn't the new roster be checked yesterday, how can there be another one?" Ethereal and incomprehensible.
"Oh, the slave maid thought that she would send another joy in the morning, and the ethereal protector may not know it yet, so she added it in time, so that the palace master would not make a mistake when she looked at it." Yi'er explained unhurriedly. Miao Miao nodded yes, and the matter was over.
Ling'er counted the children, the number was right, and she couldn't help but pick up the roster at random, glanced at it and put it back again, but it was just an ordinary list, and there was really nothing to see.
"These may be the main things of the Bihai Heavenly Palace in the future, the slaves and maids should be treated with due diligence, and the palace masters should also carefully see their names, or there is time for the slaves and maids to invite you to teach."
"Presumptuous, how can the palace master be instructed by you with many mouths and tongues, do your own thing!" Honggu hurriedly stopped.
Yi'er lowered her head and took two steps back. Ling'er waved her hand to say that it was okay, and took a few more people to look back and forth, so far, she is the most satisfied here, and she looks very attentive to food, clothing, housing and transportation, which shows that she is responsible.
On this day, I walked a few more places, and Ling'er also used it because of his talents, which was corrected at will, and it was not very serious. One is that this is also a problem left over from hundreds of years, and it cannot be changed in a day; Second, Ling'er's mind was disturbed by the events of last night, and she always wandered from time to time; The three Dharma protectors followed behind him, and he just wanted to do something, and he really had to take into account their thoughts, so he couldn't help but shrink his hands and feet, and lost some of his spirit.
When she returned to the dormitory, Yun Ying had already prepared food, knowing that the palace master was tired all day, she was a picky eater, and although the kitchen was much better than before, it would definitely not suit her appetite.
Ling'er really pounced back like a wolf, and the wind and clouds ate all the snacks on the table, and then waved his hand with a full burp, "I'll lie down for a while, you are guarding outside the door, and if outsiders come, they will say that the master of the palace is very tired and asleep." ”
Yun Ying was very amused when she saw Ling'er's lazy and greedy appearance, so she didn't dare to laugh out loud, so she hurriedly turned around and closed the door, standing outside the door by herself.
Ling'er lay down, she was already extremely tired, and the few people who accompanied her were all practitioners, so I was afraid that she wouldn't feel anything after walking for three days and three nights. This Bihai Heavenly Palace is just like its name, it is really big, each place is big and bizarre, it looks like it is next to each other, but it actually takes a long time to walk, and the road is built by the mountains, rugged and difficult to walk, for Ling'er is a child who grows up in the capital.
I lay down for a while, but the more I lay down, the more energetic I became, I tilted my head and saw the roster on the desk, remembering the dozens of immature children I saw during the day, and moved somewhere soft in my heart, so I simply stood up and took the roster over to take a closer look, as if I had seen them. (To be continued.) )
