Chapter 128: Jade Pendant
"Ichika, wait a minute. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "Tang Xu was about to make a move, but Bai Lun stopped him. Tang Xu watched suspiciously, Bai Lun suddenly knelt in front of the dead tree and kowtowed, chanting words in his mouth for a while before standing up again.
"Brother Bai, what are you doing?" Tang Xu asked.
"Everything has a spirit, and today we want to cut off its branches as if we were going to cut off people's hands and feet, although it is a last resort, but it is still unbearable." Bai Lun said that his words made Tang Xu very surprised and a little moved.
"I didn't expect you." Tang Xu didn't know how to say it, he didn't expect Bai Lun to have such a move, and he would have such thoughts in his heart. He found that he still had some bitterness about Bai Lun in his heart, and he still couldn't completely leave the suffering people in Lanzhou City behind.
"I know you can't let go of those innocent people, those people who are suffering because of me, and this is also a hurdle in my heart that I can't get over in my life. However, I really didn't want to hurt anyone in the past, and I will continue to do good deeds to make up for my mistakes in the future. Bai Lun looked at the dead tree as if he was talking to himself, as if he knew Tang Xu's thoughts.
"I'm sorry." Tang Xu was ashamed that his thoughts were seen through by him, and he was even more ashamed that he couldn't see Bai Lun's true temperament. Bai Lun smiled and shook his head and said it didn't matter.
"Let's get started." Bai Lun said and began to cut the branches, and then sorted them out one by one and put them aside. Tang Xu didn't want the atmosphere to become so heavy, so he continued to weave the branches he cut out criss-crossed.
The two of them were busy until the third watch finally came to an end, the soil under the coffin allowed Tang Xu to continue to dig a hole to avoid directly touching the hot and clayey soil layer, the big pit that was dug has been tightly covered by a large net made of tree branches, Tang Xu found a lot of hay to cover it, and dug a ventilation channel on the other side of the pit for heat dissipation.
"That should be fine." Tang Xu was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and now there didn't seem to be anything abnormal here, if he didn't know what was below, probably no one would see any clues. And in the middle of the process just now, another ghost fire came out, and it was not until the hole dug out by Tang Xu under the coffin that it gradually disappeared, Tang Xu was very happy that his idea could work.
"But be careful not to let people walk on it." Bai Lun answered.
"Well, let's go back first, it's getting late." Tang Xu was worried about Xiao Cui, since he knew that there was a spy in the house, he was very worried that Xiao Cui would stay at home alone, so the two of them collected their things and broke up at the fork in the road.
If it's okay tomorrow, you should be able to go to Yang Ximei, Tang Xu thought as he walked back quickly, but this time only Tang Cai was waiting at the door. Could it be that Tang Ru stayed at the door just to wait for Xiaocui? Thinking like this, Tang Xu felt a little pity for Tang Ru's intentions towards Xiaocui. He suddenly remembered a question before, when he felt that Tang Ru gave Xiao Cui the plum blossom cake that was originally going to be made to hide people's eyes and ears because he wanted to please Xiao Cui, he originally thought that this was just a nonsense guess on his part, but now it seems that this possibility is not impossible.
"Hey." Tang Xu sighed, how much did Tang Ru like Xiaocui to do such an inconsiderate thing, so that he finally caught the evidence that the two had colluded. Moreover, Tang Ru is so attentive, if the truth is revealed in the future, will she be angry and hurt Xiaocui? Tang Xu became nervous when he thought of this, and quickened his pace back to the room, and when he pushed the door in, he saw Xiaocui and Tang Ru.
"I'm back." Tang Xu couldn't help but collapse his face when he saw Tang Ru, now Tang Ru's identity is too complicated, not only a spy who may be unfavorable to him, but also a third party who affects his relationship with Xiaocui. Although this idea is very narrow, he still plans not to let Xiaocui and Tang Ru contact alone in the future.
"The master is back, I'll go get you supper." Tang Ru saw that Tang Xu's face was not good, and he also guessed that he was because he saw himself with Young Master Cousin. But she was a little proud, and today's young master's attitude towards her was a little softened, which made her very happy.
"What were you guys doing?" After Tang Ru went out, Tang Xu immediately closed the door.
"It doesn't matter. It's just a chat. Xiao Cui's eyes wandered and she spoke a little stumbling, Tang Xu looked at Xiao Cui silently, and couldn't figure out why Xiao Cui lied to herself for Tang Ru.
"It really doesn't matter, it's just to talk to her." Xiaocui was stared at a little flustered, and unconsciously rubbed the hem of her clothes.
"What is this?" Tang Xu looked down along her hand and found that Xiao Cui had an unfamiliar jade pendant hanging from her waist.
"Ahh Xiao Cui hurriedly took off the jade pendant and wanted to stuff it into her arms, but was grabbed by Tang Xu.
"I don't remember you have this thing, could it be that Tang Ru gave it to you?" Tang Xu took the jade pendant and saw that there was a pair of vivid mandarin ducks on it, which made Tang Xu feel very angry, could it be that Xiaocui had already been moved by her? How can orientation change so easily?
"Tang Lang, don't be angry, I'm just..." Xiao Cui's face was pale, she wanted to take back the jade pendant but didn't dare to reach out.
"Did she say something unfavorable to me that made you change your attitude towards her?" Tang Xu tried to calm down, he didn't believe that Xiao Cui would fall in love with someone else, let alone a woman. But the jade pendant must have been accepted by Xiao Cui before it was hung on her waist, Tang Xu couldn't wait to drive Tang Ru out of the house now, she kept pestering Xiao Cui like this, it really bothered him.
"Don't be angry, listen to me, okay?" Xiao Cui begged, and Tang Xu suddenly softened and hugged Xiao Cui in his arms.
"Before, she thought I was your male pet and persuaded me to leave you, and then she revealed a very good way. Although, I don't know who else is behind her, but since the emperor gave them to you, probably the mastermind behind the scenes is not a simple person. I was just guessing about her before, but now the fact that she and Tang Jin colluded has been confirmed, in case they are really bad for you, I... Xiao Cui leaned on Tang Xu's arms and said timidly, her eyes began to redden.
"Why are you so stupid?" The doubts in Tang Xu's heart were gradually solved, and he was ashamed that he had a little doubt about Xiaocui.
"You're putting yourself in danger by doing this, you know? And, if they really have a bigger conspiracy, do you think she'll let me go because of your plea? Tang Xu sighed, feeling very sorry for Xiaocui to do such an embarrassing thing for herself.
"So what now?" Xiao Cui was frightened by Tang Xu's words, and raised her teary eyes to look at Tang Xu in panic.
"Don't worry, I will be careful, and I will protect you, you don't have to force yourself to do this kind of thing again." Tang Xu hugged Xiao Cui tightly and comforted.
"Yes." Xiao Cui's eyes were red and she nodded.
