Chapter 57: Curiosity Kills Cats
"Feng Caizi, the son of the red lady is that young man?"
Gao Laohu's face twitched, and he whispered in confusion.
"Exactly!"
Feng Yingcai nodded.
"What a powerful character I am, but it's just a yellow-mouthed kid who has not dried up! This little child's body has not grown up, how can Zhao Wanqi take a look! Obvious excuses...... Xue Gongzi made a big fuss......"
Deng Pihu snorted coldly......
"Hehe, whether it's a big fuss or not, the two masters will know after a trial tonight...... Feng is just a scholar, he doesn't know those things, and he doesn't want to know those things. ”
The man under Feng Yingcai jumped off his shoulder.
"Nima's, low voice, be careful to be discovered!"
……
In the courtyard, She Yi was looking at the sky in a daze, and suddenly there were a few faint conversations in his ears, and the sound was ethereal.
As soon as the wind stopped, the sound was inaudible.
Yue Mochou, who had just stood up, frowned, obviously she had also heard this conversation. If you are cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and you look unhappy, even if the child hears it, he will not take it seriously.
Yue Mochou looked at She Yi, and saw that She Yi's ears moved, but his expression was still the same, there was no emotional fluctuation on his face, and he was still looking at the sky quietly.
"Xiao Yi, did you hear ...... just now?"
"Oh, it's a wolf howl...... Hehe, maybe those wolves are going to look for me tonight......"
She Yi interrupted Yue Mochou's words.
"Hmph, if there is really a wolf coming, you can sleep on A-Niang's bed, so as not to bother me!"
Ruoruo glared at She Yi and walked towards the kitchen with the utensils.
"If you are really righteous enough...... Don't you worry about your aunt being taken away by a wolf......? ”
She Yi smiled, and Yue Mochou also sneered.
……
Twilight is like a huge black curtain, slowly covering the sky...... Suddenly there was no light in the heavens and the earth, and there were no people, no objects, and no things to see in the darkness, only a few stars......
She Yi instructed Yue Mochou's mother and son, keep the door, and don't come out at night, no matter what sound you hear. He had to wait in his room for the wolves to come in, and then go to their room to rest.
Yue Mochou didn't say that he was a kid messing around this time, but told him to be careful......
The night outside was thick, I couldn't see my fingers, the light in She Yi's room was still on, She Yi was half lying on the bed, holding a book of Zhang Zhongjing's treatise on typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases, reading carefully.
Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases is an ancient medical masterpiece, the first classic of science, law, prescription and medicine in the history of traditional Chinese medicine, opening a precedent for dialectical treatment, Zhang Zhongjing is respected as a medical saint, in many places, there are incense offerings.
She Yi had nothing to do during this time, and since Yue Mochou was able to get out of bed, she took care of all the work at home, laundry, cooking, and cleaning the room. Even taking a bath, Ruoruo was dispatched to rub She Yi's back...... It can be described as all-round, all-angle, 24-hour personal care......
As a result, he had no choice but to read, practice, and copy books (copies of the books of later generations). There are not many books in the room, in addition to Mengxi's pen talk, there are also a few medical books, which were given to him by his sister Xiaoyu at the beginning. Mengxi has finished reading the written talk, and he has to read the medical book......
The room was quiet, the flames made of the candles shook occasionally, and from time to time a moth bravely threw itself into the candle flame, crackling, and the dead could not die anymore.
It's almost tense now. There was no husband in the street outside, and there was no hourglass in the room, and the time was estimated by She Yi. There are some differences, but they are not very large, thanks to his extremely subtle observation and strong logical analysis skills.
The wind was blowing outside, and the weeds in the courtyard outside were rustling.
"Whew......"
In the quiet of the night, the howl of a wolf suddenly sounded, one after another, and the sound seemed to be getting closer and closer.
A sneer appeared on the corner of She Yi's mouth, put down the book, and reached out to take out a dirt qiang from under the bed. After his modification, this Tuqiang is about the same size as the hand qiang of later generations, but fortunately, the power has not become smaller.
He got out of bed, went to his desk, opened the window, and a cold wind blew in outside, and the candle fluttered and was blown out......
……
Yue Mochou in the next room didn't fall asleep, for nearly two hours, she didn't feel sleepy, lying on the bed and tossing and turning.
If the daughter sleeps on the other bed in the room, she makes a sound of falling asleep, obviously sleeping sweetly. She originally wanted to ask her daughter to sleep with her, and vacate the bed so that She Yi could rest at night. But after thinking about it, I didn't think it was necessary. She Yi is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, not much older than Ruoruo, and there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to avoid those. Even resting in her bed, it's nothing.
The night was getting darker, and she was about to fall asleep...... At this moment, a wolf howl suddenly came to her ears, and she came to her senses.
His eyes were fixed on the window, nervously listening to the noise outside. There seemed to be some sound of movement in the courtyard......
"Roar......
Another wolf howl came, and Ruoruo, who was already asleep, was also awakened, rubbed her worried eyes with her hand, and saw that there was no She Yi beside her, her little brows frowned, thinking that it was possible that She Yi really ran to her mother's bed? And there is the sound of wolves howling outside, so they won't be taken away by wolves...... A skeleton sat up, and just as she was about to get out of bed, a dark figure sat on the edge of her bed.
"Who!"
Ruoruo was frightened and hurriedly asked.
"It's A-Niang, don't talk loudly......"
It was Yue Mochou who spoke, and when she saw her daughter wake up, she was worried about making a noise, so she hurriedly got out of bed and walked over.
"Oh, Ah Niang, I thought it was Uncle Xiaoyi......"
Ruoruo lowered his voice.
"Xiao Yi should be reading."
As soon as Yue Mochou finished speaking, there was a bang in the opposite room...... Almost something rushed in...... Bursts of screams and gunshots rang out in quick succession......
After more than ten minutes, there was no sound......
Ruoruo was frightened and squeezed into Yue Mochou's arms, trembling constantly.
"Auntie, how did I hear someone screaming in pain............ Isn't it a wolf...... And what about Uncle Xiaoyi! ”
Ruoruo hugged Yue Mochou tightly.
"If you hear it wrong, it's a wolf, don't worry about your Uncle Xiaoyi, he's amazing?"
Yue Mochou hugged his daughter tightly, saying that he didn't have to worry, but his brows were furrowed.
"Oh......"
Ruoruo nodded.
"Woo hoo" and a few dull gunshots rang out in She Yi's room......
Then, everything was calm......
……
After less than a stick of incense, there was a squeak, and the door of Yue Mochou's room opened...... She Yi held a candle in one hand and blocked the flames in the other, and walked in from the door.
As She Yi entered, the dark room lit up.
"Uncle Xiaoyi, is there really a wolf coming to you?"
Ruoruo broke free from Yue Mochou's arms and jumped out of bed.
"When did Uncle lie to you......
She Yi closed the door, turned and walked in, walked to the round table in the middle of the room, and placed the candle on it.
"I want to see the wolf!"
Ruoruo saw She Yi, the original worried expression disappeared instantly, and he walked towards the door with an excited face.
"If you come back! It's dark outside, and even if there's something you can't see. Besides, don't be afraid that the wolf will take you away! ”
Yue Mochou bluffed Ruoruo, Ruoruo stopped, turned around, and muttered a word.
"I'll see it tomorrow!"
"Children want to be safe, curiosity will kill cats."
She Yi smiled.
"Xiao Yi, have you chased away all those wolves? Will there be any more wolves? ”
Yue Mochou still had an anxious expression on his face.
"I don't think so......"
After She Yi answered, she walked to the dresser of the house, squatted down, and washed her hands in the basin.
"Oh, that's good. Let's go to bed early. If you go back to bed......"
Yue Mochou said Ruoruo, returned to her bedside, and sat on her side, she didn't sleep tonight with only a belly pocket as usual, and she was wearing a loose robe as thin as pajamas. She sat there, looking at She Yi, and didn't say which bed she Yi would go to rest.
