Chapter 18: Framed
Xue Jin was robbed of her white by Sasha, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and she was hungry, so she didn't stay in the room, but walked out of the room, thinking about getting something to eat herself.
In the empty courtyard, there was no one else, and Xue Jin's footsteps could be heard. She felt a chill down her back and wanted to turn back to her room, but her backbone and hunger drove her forward.
Let's find something to eat before we go back. Xue Jin thought.
The light was a little dim, and Xue Jin groped her way forward, walking in the direction of the hall with her memory.
If she remembered correctly, there was a plate of fruit and boxes of snacks on the table in the hall this afternoon. Moreover, she remembers very well that in the afternoon, when the crowd dispersed, the fruits and snacks were left untouched.
Xue Jin was originally a road idiot, the kind who couldn't figure out the direction at all. But since she inexplicably arrived in the demon world, she began to consciously force herself to remember the way, and gradually her sense of direction became much stronger.
No, the hall is right in front.
When dinner was over, Xue Jin couldn't help but laugh and quicken her pace.
Fruit and snacks, I'm coming! Xue Jin rushed into the room like a mad dog.
Only a small piece of fruit remained, and the snack box was dismantled, leaving only a few scraps scattered on the table.
Who stole it? It's so immoral! Xue Jin was gorgeously angry.
She looked around, but saw no figure. Then, when she looked back, she found that the fruit and snack scraps were gone!
She had just seen clearly, there was a small piece of fruit left, and there were residues of the dim sum, why was it suddenly gone?
"Who?" Hungry and angry, Xue Jin couldn't help but growl.
No one responded.
Xue Jin was even angrier. For a master of eating like her, it was a great shame for food to disappear in front of her eyes.
She let out an earth-shattering roar, "Who the hell is it? You have the ability to come out for me! If you don't come out, you're a coward! Do you have the courage to admit it? Oh, I know, I must be very weak, otherwise how can I even be afraid of a low-level human like me?"
She deliberately crackled and talked nonsense, trying to be sarcastic and belittled. She thought that if she still had some self-esteem for stealing this person, she should not let her insult and be indifferent.
Bang! She was hit in the back of the head.
Xue Jin hurriedly turned around, but there was still no one. "What kind of hero is a coward, a coward, hiding in the shadows and not daring to come out?" she scolded again.
A stool slammed into her stomach.
It's too insidious and too immoral. Xue Jin was so angry that her teeth itched. But she's not a vegetarian either, she clenched her fists and pounded indiscriminately.
Well, she admits that she doesn't make the slightest sense of doing this, except for the waste of her own strength.
"Forget it, I don't bother with you. Xue Jin said angrily, "I'll go to the kitchen to find something to eat!"
With a strong memory and a trained sense of direction, Xue Jin found the kitchen as she wished.
Great, lots of ingredients. However, she was a little stumped. She doesn't know how to cook! The ingredients here are all raw and unprocessed, piles of vegetables are placed on the floor like demonstrations, and raw chickens and geese are hung on hooks in the cupboards.
The food is close at hand, but it is powerless, and people who can't cook can't afford to hurt it. What a painful realization!
Xue Jin was sentimental for a while and decided to give it a try.
She started by raising the fire, thinking that as long as the fire was up, she would be able to say anything. For example, if you throw a few handfuls of rice into the pot, won't the rice be cooked? For example, if you pour some oil and throw a few lumps of vegetables, won't the vegetables be fried? Cooking shouldn't be so difficult, right?
Just do it, Xue Jin came to the stove and proudly wanted to ignite the first spark in her life. However, there are no matches or lighters that can be used to start a fire.
Is this to spit fire on her own? She remembered the fire-breathing youkai she had seen earlier, and then she realized how small she was as an ordinary human. Hey, is there no play?
I can only try to drill wood to make fire, even if there is little hope. Xue Jin almost didn't expect anything, she lazily turned the wooden block, her eyelids drooping. Suddenly, the flames in the stove rose and burned.
Drilling wood to make fire actually works? Sure enough, her character is so good that she bursts!
Xue Jin got up quickly, strode to the cupboard, removed a raw goose from the hook, and quickly ran back to the stove, using a few iron rods to build a shelf, and roasted the goose on it.
The flames rubbed and made a sizzling sound. The rich aroma of meat gradually wafted out, hooking Xue Jin's nose.
Xue Jin excitedly flipped the roast goose, her saliva dripping. She said that cooking is not so difficult.
The skin of the roast goose turns golden brown and looks crispy. Xue Jin couldn't help but snort, reached out and pulled down a large piece of meat, and threw it into her mouth.
This goose should have been marinated in advance, and it tastes quite good when it is roasted. Xue Jin stuffed it into her mouth, quickly filling her belly, and her head was groggy.
Before her eyelids closed, she seemed to see a blurred figure. However, the sleepiness was too heavy for her to support.
She was woken up by cold water. She shuddered and opened her eyes, and found herself surrounded, each with long sticks in their hands, aimed at her with their brushes.
"Thief, hand over your things!" they yelled at her.
Xue Jin was puzzled, "What did I steal?"
A blue and white porcelain bowl rolled to Xue Jin's side, and the owner said angrily, "This is what I lost a few days ago, how did I find it from you?"
This, she also wants to know, she only remembers that she was very sleepy after eating roast goose last night, and she really fell asleep in the kitchen without holding back, and she really had no impression of this blue and white porcelain bowl.
No one listened to her. Even Sasha stood and watched, looking at her with the eyes of a stranger.
"I really didn't take it, I don't know how. Xue Jin tried to stand up, but was pressed to the ground by a wooden stick.
In a flash of lightning, she remembered the strange thing that had happened to her last night. She hurriedly said aloud, "Last night, I went to the hall to look for food, and watched the fruit and snacks disappear, but I didn't see anyone. I thought, could it be an invisible man or something?"
Everyone looked at each other, and when they were guarding their master's things before, they had also suffered the same situation, and they were staring intently, but those precious items were still gone.
"Do you have any witnesses?" Sasha said suddenly, "but anyone who knows anything about Mr. Mountain can make up this statement, how do we know if what you say is true or false?"
"Sasha, you ......" Xue Jin was dumbfounded, she had always regarded Sasha as her own, but she didn't expect it...... Hey, she only blames herself for being stupid.
Wait a minute!
Xue Jin immediately said, "You said that the blue and white porcelain bowl was lost a few days ago, but I didn't come here at all a few days ago!"
Enough evidence like that.
"Who can testify for you?" Sasha continued.
"I ......" Xue Jin opened her mouth, still wanting to explain.
The master had lost his patience and ordered his subordinates to do it, "Fight until she hands over the inkstone!"
The dull pain is so painful that it doubts life. If she continues to fight like this, her little life will be whining. Xue Jin was surrounded by groups and couldn't break free at all.
Who will save her?
Xue Jin raised her eyes and saw the silver-white figure not far away, standing motionless.
