Chapter 38 Concealment
"Oops~Oops~" Every time he smashed it, Lu Guang let out a wail.
"Don't, don't. Xiaoqiu ...... Don't be angry, incense is useless to me anyway...... No...... No, uh, that, I'm hiding. Of course I didn't take it off myself, it hurts ......" Shi Manman silently watched Lu Guang muttering to himself at the root of the old tree, and looked down his buried head, there was a small raised dirt bag under the root of the old dead tree.
"Did you become a witness, give me the evidence, let me come back, and no longer force me to go to a place where there are people?" Lu Guang turned his head and asked.
Shi Manman nodded.
"You see, she said yes to me. I'll be back soon. After Lu Guang explained to the invisible Xiaoqiu, he looked back at the movement of the old dead tree with anxiety every two steps. The old dead tree that did not move was silent, as if it was angry with Lu Guang and did not want to speak.
But Lu Guang, who was solid-eyed, thought that Xiaoqiu had agreed, and rubbed the stone vines and said, "I'll take you to get incense first." ”
Shi Manman glanced at Lu Guang deeply, then looked at the raised dirt bag, and said lightly: "He will come back." "Five simple words, containing the promise of stone vines.
The dead tree still didn't react, but a gust of wind brushed Lu Guang's cheeks like a soft hand, and then passed through the five fingers of the stone vines.
Lu Guang squinted comfortably, arched the old dead tree, took a few steps forward and ran slowly. Stone vines followed closely with small hooked snakes.
When Brother An woke up, it was already noon.
He rubbed the back of his neck, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, but there was a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth.
"After all these years, have you really found it?" The killing intent in Brother An's eyes was replaced by a madness that he couldn't even believe.
In the noisy voices, no one paid attention to the wooden door of the pharmacy opened by Brother An. Even if he noticed it, he saw that it was Zheng Zhutou who came out of it, and which flat-headed people dared to say anything.
"Head!" The person who shouted was Xiao Yu Kuai, who pressed Xiao Lei into the yamen at the beginning, he was looking for Brother An all over the street, thinking that the other party might go to the scene of the crime, with the mentality of trying, but he didn't expect to really find it. He trotted towards Ango.
"Last night, I bumped into someone from the Xiao Mansion who came to the pharmacy to destroy the evidence, I was tricked and let people escape, you go and ask someone to enter the Xiao Mansion with me to search. Then notify the magistrate and retry Xiao Gongzi. Brother An said coldly.
Xiao Yu stared at his eyes in disbelief, and the god-like head in his heart would be hit by Xiao Xiao's trick.
"Still not going?" Brother An looked in the direction of Xiao Mansion and thought, and found that the person next to him did not move for a while, and raised his tone.
"Yes, yes." Xiao Yu quickly agreed and ran away.
Before Brother An came to Xiao's mansion with the servants, Xiao Yuan and a few people came to Xiao Jin's room, and Xiao Jin had just drunk a bowl of black bitter herbs and rinsed his mouth.
"My poor child." Xiao Jin, who was pale, leaned weakly on the side of the bed, and Grandmother Xiao seemed to shatter when she saw Xiao Jin's weak appearance, and her eyes suddenly turned red. The tough mother who once pulled Xiao Yuan up is gone, and now she is an old woman who is holding her granddaughter's hand and trembling slightly.
"Grandmother, Jin'er is fine." Xiao Jin also wanted to get up and salute, and was pressed back to the bed by Grandmother Xiao. She looked at Grandmother Xiao and shook her head as she gave the other party a comforting smile.
"It's really a disaster, your body has just improved, and after such a toss, you are about to fall into the root of the disease...... Tell your grandmother if these maids didn't serve you well that caused you to be bitten by a snake! Grandmother Xiao's words were full of anger, Xiao Jin because of physical reasons, the maids beside her followed him inch by inch, and someone must have been negligent to make Xiao Jin bitten.
As soon as Grandmother Xiao's words came out, the maid in the room immediately knelt on the ground, trembling and lowering her head and not daring to make a sound.
"Grandmother, it has nothing to do with these girls, it was Jin'er who drove them away. I wanted to take a walk in the courtyard by myself, and I happened to see a beautiful bloom of the moon season, and I wanted to cut it myself to send it to my grandmother, but I never thought that there was a snake in the flowers, and I fell in a panic, and I woke up to know that I was bitten by a snake. Xiao Jin saw that Grandmother Xiao wanted to punish the girls in the room, and immediately explained to them.
"By the way, why don't you see Lei'er and Miss Shi......" Xiao Jin asked after glancing at the people in the room.
Seeing Xiao Jin mention Xiao Lei, everyone present had strange faces, Xiao Yuan coughed and said, "Lei'er...... He went to the meeting window early in the morning. Miss Stone...... It should still be in the hospital. Xiao Yuan's face did not change and panicked. The Xiao family has had enough troubles, and Xiao Jin will definitely hurt his body when he hears the news of his beloved brother being imprisoned with a weak body. Although he also knew that he might not be able to hide it for long, it was a day to hide it.
"Aunt Sun, you go to Qiansuju to see Miss Shi on my behalf, we can't be because of ...... Jin'er had an accident and neglected the guests. "What Grandmother Xiao said is very far-fetched, but everyone in the know knows the reason for Grandmother Xiao's words.
Aunt Sun said yes and left.
Xiao Jin was still poisoned, and he was tired after saying a few words. A few people stayed in Xiao Jin's courtyard for a short time, and came to the inner hall to discuss how to solve Xiao Lei's matter.
Aunt Sun, who went to visit Shi Manman, also came to the inner hall after a while, and there was one more person behind her, but it was not Shi Manman but Yun Bi, who was arranged by Xiao Lei in the Shi Manman Courtyard.
Grandmother Xiao looked at Yun Bi suspiciously, "What about Miss Shi?" ”
Yun Bi hesitated and said: "The slave maid got up early in the morning and found that Miss Shi was gone, and thought that the girl had visited the Xiao Mansion, and when I asked people, they said that they had never seen it." The slave also asked the doorman, and the doorman said that he had never seen Miss Shi leave......"
"Not in the Xiao Mansion? Never left? A big living person will be gone. Grandmother Xiao frowned.
"Miss Shi seems to know some martial arts, if she wants to leave, there should be no difficulty." Yesterday, the appearance of Shi Manman carrying a person falling from the sky made Xiao Yuan have a deep impact.
"Martial arts?" Liu Yemei couldn't help blurting out in surprise.
Grandmother Xiao was also surprised by what Xiao Yuan said: "Lei'er never mentioned that Miss Shi has martial arts. ”
"Humph! I've always been suspicious of her identity as a 'life-saver'. She concealed her martial arts, and Xiao Lei was nowhere to be found after the accident, I don't know if she felt that she couldn't get any benefits from Lei'er and left. As soon as Xiao Yuan mentioned Shi Manman, there was an inexplicable irritability and disgust in his heart.
"Since she took the initiative to leave the Xiao family, it has nothing to do with us. The most important thing at the moment is Lei'er, can you have someone to check? Grandmother Xiao's original source of favor for Shi Manman and Xiao Lei's attitude towards Shi Manman, but the news at this moment made her good impression of Shi Manman disappear, and in her heart, she also nailed Shi Manman to the position of "having an attempt".
Liu Yemei didn't intervene again, and stood quietly beside Grandmother Xiao and waited.
If there is anyone present who has the most to do with Xiao Lei's situation, it is none other than Yunbi. She couldn't sleep well after learning that Xiao Lei was arrested for murder, but how could she, a maid, know her master's plans. She didn't even know if Shi Manman had returned, or if he hadn't come back, until Aunt Sun came to her and asked where Shi Manman was, that she found that Shi Manman was gone.
At this moment, she had the opportunity to listen to the methods of a few people to rescue Xiao Lei, and naturally she was reluctant to leave, even if Aunt Sun looked at her many times.
