Chapter 7: A Glimmer of Life
Seeing the little girl's face full of shock and confusion, Xie Xiuqi smiled: "I know why you are surprised, but An Xuan, you must know that I also love my sister no matter what." Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that I had harmed my sister's trust, so I indulged in drunkenness every day and didn't want to wake up. โ
He said softly, but it pulled An Xuan's confused mind back.
"......"
The little girl eats.
Xie Xiuqi smiled again: "But overnight, why did I change so much, right?" โ
He seemed to have guessed the confusion in the little girl's heart, and a set of rhetoric was formed in an instant: "Last night, my sister came to visit at night and tried hard to persuade me, but I was only full of remorse, and hated myself for being incompetent, and I was so drunk that I couldn't wake up...... My sister left in despair, and I poured myself cup by cup, just wanting to get drunk and die. โ
He muttered, his eyes full of admiration: "Xu drank too much, and he was really drunk to death." When I woke up this morning, I felt that I had a dream, dead and alive. In my dreams, people kept saying things to me. โ
Gradually, I felt that my mind had changed greatly, and I was no longer as muddy as before, and I was already very clear. Then, I remembered all the things of yesterday, and I was extremely remorseful, and I felt guilty for my sister, Uncle Lu, and even you, so I ......"
Xie Xiuqi said that his thoughts were already like a spring, and he turned a drunken and reborn in the past, and the prodigal son of the stupid young master turned back and did not change his money, and turned into an honest and kind little Langjun and a famous detective Conan, adding some mysterious elements, which is wonderful and vivid.
An Qian nodded with Xie Xiuqi's description, but she seemed to believe his words - if you don't believe it, you can't do it, it seems that this is the only way to explain it......
If this is the case, it will be a blessing in disguise......
The little girl thought so, but there was a hint of joy in her heart.
Immediately, she saw Xie Xiuqi and said with some indescribability: "It's just ......"
"Just what?" The little girl asked impatiently, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes about the turning point in her words.
Xie Xiuqi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's just that I seem to remember the past, those that are particularly impressive, and most of the others have forgotten...... For example, I don't even know what year or month I am in, what dynasty or generation I am in......"
He spoke with anguish.
An Qian was already relieved - as long as you didn't go back.
Xie Xiuqi also breathed a sigh of reliefโas long as you believe it.
For a while, the two had a tacit understanding, and each nodded at each other with a ghostly heart.
Then, Xie Xiuqi thought for a while, looked at An Qian and said again: "And now, this matter has come to this, the marriage contract has been decided, and the wedding is only ten days later." I am afraid that the wood has already been completed, and it is difficult to recover it after being covered with water. If everything is natural, it is difficult to turn the tables. โ
"But before the Tang County Lingyang plot, there were still traces of the conspiracy...... Once there is a conspiracy, the whole thing is not a seamless egg - to survive in death, it is to find that seam and make good use of that seam! โ
He said categorically, and the little girl's eyes suddenly lit up with his words.
He's right...... Pull out the cocoon and hit the nail on the head...... Indeed, as he said, it may be the only way to survive in death......
If he's been so smart, maybe ......
It's just that adults and young ladies are also very smart, and the young lady has guessed it a long time ago...... But they didn't have any good ideas, so how could he ......
Should I trust him? Adults and young ladies are helpless, can he ......
The little girl thought so, and her eyes were a little hesitant from time to time.
Xie Xiuqi seemed to see through her thoughts again: "Tang County Ling's conspiracy seems to be irreversible at present, but the introduction of the whole thing - that arson case, if Tang County Ling really did something in it...... That can't be said...... He did it, and we took advantage of it......"
"Tang Xian ordered us to threaten us with the designed arson case, so as to force us to obey. But if we also find out the traces and evidence of Tang County's actions in the arson case, we can naturally follow the cat and draw the tiger and blackmail him. Once he dies down, everything may be solved! โ
A hint of surprise flashed in An Qi's eyes.
Immediately, she frowned again - if it is really so easy, still use you? Adults and ladies have already done it.
Xie Xiuqi smiled when he saw this, and continued.
"I know that this may be difficult, and there may be hidden secrets, otherwise Uncle Lu and his sister must have been like this for a long time. But in any case, maybe the stones of other mountains can attack jade, or the wise will have a thousand thoughts, and the fools will have a thousand thoughtsโmaybe there is something they didn't think of, and I thought of it? โ
"But there is a glimmer of life, and we have to hold on to it, right? If I want to work hard for it, will you help me? โ
He talked eloquently, but the little girl gradually nodded involuntarily.
Xie Xiuqi suddenly smiled: "Therefore, the top priority is to understand the details of the arson case investigated by the county government at that time - if the Tang County Commander really did something in my arson that night, it is impossible not to leave clues." โ
Immediately, he spread his hands again: "But I don't know who to look for, I seem to have forgotten...... Or, does the county government have a case file? Is it possible for me to borrow books secretly? โ
He smiled wryly again, and looked at An Qiantan with burning eyes and asked.
"Looking for an adult." An Qian immediately blurted out: "This case has been settled privately and has not been filed, so if you look for the case file, you can't find it." However, the county government investigated the internal situation, and although the adults had to avoid suspicion because of the fact that the matter involved parents and children, they also sent their right-hand men to investigate and observe the whole process from the sidelines, so they knew it. โ
Then, she looked at Xie Xiuqi suspiciously.
Could it be that the third young master was really drunk and injured his brain in the past, and he really lost his memory? But you can't forget that no one can forget adults......
The little girl thought with doubt in her heart.
Xie Xiuqi smiled bitterly again: "Uncle Lu, I know it, but if this matter can't be reversed, how dare I go to see him......"
This is just my excuse, in fact, how dare I go to Lu Fu...... What if I see my sister?
Divine Replenishment Knife Xie Xiuqi's heart was already full of grievances.
An Qian also nodded thoughtfully.
Is it really getting better? Finally know that I am ashamed of my lord, and I have no shame to see Jiangdong's father?
The little girl secretly mocked in her heart, but somehow, there was a hint of joy and relief in her expression.
She turned her head and thought about it, but her eyes lit up: "Then, young master, you can also go to Erhu and ask, he must know a lot." โ
"Two tigers?" Xie Xiuqi was stunned - this person is still a little impressed......
In his memory, Erhu was a fisherman on the outskirts of the county. A few years ago, Erhu's father died early, and his mother was also seriously ill because of this, leaving only the young Erhu and his younger sister who was less than three years old and cried with hunger at home every day. Although there are many people in the neighborhood to take care of, but other people's families are not rich, and at that time Erhu was still young, his mother was seriously ill and needed to spend a lot of money on medicine, and gradually it was unsustainable.
Erhu was forced to beg along the street in desperation, and after suffering from cold eyes, his predecessor, who was kind for a while, gave money to extend his mother's medical treatment, and gave his family a sum of money to survive the difficult period.
After his mother recovered, he followed his predecessor with gratitude, and in addition to doing some strenuous work in the county, he would follow his predecessor whenever he had free time. is out of place in a group of prodigals, but he is loyal to his predecessor, just for the grace of saving his mother.
The whole world despised and despised him, but there was one man who was faithful. The predecessor was also moved by the simplicity and sincerity of the two tigers. Gradually, the two became a pair of friends with a rather bizarre relationship, like master and servant and like brothers.
After the accident of the predecessor, the group of prodigals surrounding the predecessor suddenly scattered, but these two tigers never abandoned him. Whenever I have time, I will come to him and persuade him bitterly.
"Yes, young master, after the arson case occurred that day, Erhu was worried about you, and he also ran up and down for you, although he was soft-spoken, but he also ran up and down, and watched the whole process of the county government investigation with the adults."
While recalling, An Qian also said excitedly on the side.
Xie Xiuqi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he nodded: "So, if I look for him, I will get something?" โ
"Exactly." An Qian also nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "He is usually honest and not good at interacting with people." But the little maid is with the young master, and he is also a little familiar with him, but he has been taking advantage of the young master's ...... in the past few months."
An Qian was stunned, but she didn't seem to want to talk about Xie Xiuqi's ugly things anymore, so she sighed and said, "Take the opportunity to do small jobs in the city to supplement the family." The little maid remembers that when he came to see you a few days ago, he seemed to have said that he was going home to visit his mother and his sister today. And his house, the little maid also went with the young master once, if you forgot where it was, the little maid can take you to him. โ
The little girl said in a series of words, and she was already unaware that she was disgusted with this young master in the past, and gradually used the honorific title.
Xie Xiuqi didn't notice this, but he muttered, and nodded again: "If that's the case, time is not waiting, sooner rather than later, let's set off." โ
He hurriedly got up and smiled with satisfaction.
