Chapter 40: Cleaning up the mansion
Meow! ”
Be honest!
If you're so happy, I'll drop you!
Cheng Xiaoxiao raised her cat's paw and patted the little thing above her head.
"Chirp!"
The little chick immediately and honestly hooked the hair on the top of Cheng Xiaoxiao's head with its claws.
"Xiaolan, you stay over there, I'll go from there, let's surround it."
"Okay."
Xiaolan didn't care about crying at this time, and immediately blocked in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao, "Good girl, the prince won't be able to find you in a while, you will be anxious, we won't hurt you, we just want to send you back to the prince (shēn)." ”
"Xiaolan, what are you talking to a cat so much for? It doesn't understand human speech! You (cāo) have a good heart, I'm ready to do it. ”
The little maid stretched out her arms and slowly approached Cheng Xiaoxiao from behind Cheng Xiaoxiao.
And Xiaolan also stretched out her arms and stopped in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao in a half-squatting (shēn).
Cheng Xiaoxiao glanced at the old woman next to Xiaolan (shēn) and said to her, "Where is the well you just mentioned?" ”
"Can you see the old (shēn)?"
The old woman was astonished when she saw the cat in front of her.
"You don't care about this, I won't be able to help you when there are more people. Take me to the well, and I may lead them there." ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked left and right, these two girls moved so much, it would not be good to attract the guards in the house when they came.
"Okay."
The old woman understood that the cat wanted to help her daughter find a hairpin, so she immediately floated in front of the cat and led the way, "Come this way." ”
"Okay."
Cheng Xiaoxiao took the little chick on her head, swished, and ran out from the side.
"Yikes! The cat ran away! ”
The little maid shouted, "Xiaolan, hurry! Let's chase! ”
"Hmm!"
Xiaolan followed the little maid (shēn) and ran and responded, and looked at the road behind (shēn), where did the hairpin fall?
Maybe someone picked it up?
"Here."
The old woman took Cheng Xiaoxiao to the grass next to a well, pointed to the grass and said, "The hairpin is covered by these grasses." ”
"Okay, I'll leave it to me!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao ran to the grass and saw the somewhat worn wooden hairpin, suddenly paused and looked at the two little girls who were running out of breath behind (shēn).
"Meow~"
"Good way~"
The little maid held her breath and moved towards Cheng Xiaoxiao little by little, "Obedient." ”
"Meow!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly swept her tail and swept out the wooden hairpin in the grass.
"Ahh My hairpin! ”
Xiaolan immediately ran over and picked up the wooden hairpin, her eyes were red, "It, how could it be here!" ”
Carefully wipe the dirt and weeds on the hairpin with both hands.
"Xiaolan, cat! Cat! ”
The little maid reminded Xiaolan in a low voice that the cat was obediently nesting next to Xiaolan (shēn) at this time.
"Ahh Xiaolan put the hairpin in her hair, then turned her head to look at the lion cat nesting next to (shēn), and said with a smile on her eyebrows, "Thank you!" ”
"Meow~"
Cheng Xiaoxiao yelled at her obediently.
Xiaolan finally understood at this time why the prince would dismiss all the women in the house for such a cat.
"Thank you."
After seeing the smile on the corner of her daughter's mouth, the old woman glanced at Cheng Xiaoxiao gratefully, and said happily, "Let me finally leave with peace of mind." ”
"Why did you stay on earth and refuse to be reincarnated?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the old woman in front of her suspiciously.
Judging by her age, it should be regarded as a good death.
It stands to reason that such a way of dying is generally rare to have an obsession to stay in the world.
"I'm worried about Lan'er, she won't take care of herself alone. After I left her, she washed her face with tears every day. The old woman looked at Lan'er, who had been smiling at the corner of her mouth because she had found the lost item.
"But now (ri) I finally see a smile on Lan'er's face, my Lan'er has grown up, she can take care of herself. It's time for me to leave. ”
Saying that, the old woman turned into a cloud of black mist and flew into Cheng Xiaoxiao's jade pendant, Cheng Xiaoxiao only felt that the jade pendant on her neck was hot, she looked down at the jade pendant that glowed green, and muttered in her heart, the light of this jade pendant seemed to become brighter?
"Caught!"
The black shadow covered the ground, and when Cheng Xiaoxiao withdrew her attention from the jade pendant, she had already taken the little maid into her arms, "Good, we'll send you back." But what did you do? ”
The little maid looked at the lion cat with tomato juice and chicken feathers in her arms, and frowned slightly, "Why is it so dirty?" ”
"Meow~"
Cheng Xiaoxiao rubbed all the tomato juice on (shēn) onto the little girl's clothes, hum! Let her say she's dirty!
"Yikes! My clothes! ”
The little maid looked at the red stains on her clothes, and suddenly handed the lion cat into Xiaolan's arms, "You hold it first!" ”
Then, while taking out the tomato juice on the silk and rubbing it (shēn), he complained, "This is so hard to wipe off!" ”
Xiaolan took the lion cat and carefully touched the cat's head, "Good, don't move." ”
"Meow~"
That's what you call being able to talk~
Cheng Xiaoxiao screamed, and obediently nestled in Xiaolan's arms, but her eyes looked at the well just now.
I saw many human heads poking out of the mouth of the well, including men, women, old and young.
found that Cheng Xiaoxiao looked over, and the heads of those people shrank back into the well.
When she was looking for a wooden hairpin just now, she found that there was a head poking out of the well, and it seemed that there were still a lot of unjust ghosts in King Jing's mansion?
Next, she's busy.
Anyway, help others to the end, before she is reincarnated, she will help Chu Yunshen clean up the house first.
"Five guards, this, this is the prince's cat." Xiaolan and the little maid arrived at the door of Chu Yun's deep room, and saw Xiao Wu hurriedly running out of it.
Xiao Wu heard a cowardly voice, turned around (shēn), and his eyes fell on the lion cat (shēn) in the maid's arms, only to see that the white hair on the little thing (shēn) was glued into wisps of tomato juice, and there were still a few chicken feathers on his head.
Well, the culprit of the kitchen havoc has been found.
Early this morning, the prince was summoned into the palace by the saint.
As soon as I came back, I heard that everyone in the house was discussing a supernatural event.
He returned to the room with the prince and found that the lion cat and the chick were gone, and he understood what was going on.
No, he was just about to go find the little thing when it was sent back.
"Little dirty cat!"
Xiao Wu plans to pick up the lion cat and give it a bath, and then give it to the prince.
"Meow!"
You're dirty!
Cheng Xiaoxiao raised her sharp claws towards Xiao Wu's hand, Xiao Wu instinctively dodged back, and Cheng Xiaoxiao jumped directly to the ground.
Squeak.
The door was pushed open from the inside.
"What's the noise?"
Chu Yunshen's voice came from above her head, and Cheng Xiaoxiao looked up at the behemoth that suddenly appeared in front of her, and was startled.
Chu Yunshen looked down at the dirty little thing (shēn), and stepped back suddenly, "How did you get it?" ”
Xiao Wu stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly, then lifted Cheng Xiaoxiao away from his face and said, "Lord, this little thing is making trouble in the kitchen again." ”
Chu Yunshen looked at the little thing fluttering on all four feet in Xiao Wu's hand, and his dark eyes narrowed slightly, "Fetch a basin of water and wash it." ”
Saying that, Chu Yunshen went back to the room, Xiao Wu nodded in response, and then ordered the maid after the sound (shēn), and carried Cheng Xiaoxiao into the outhouse.
Chu Yunshen sat behind the table with a military book and watched, while Xiao Wu put Cheng Xiaoxiao into the basin of water brought by the maid, and then picked up the little chick on Cheng Xiaoxiao's head and threw it into the water.
"Chirp!"
"Meow!"
Little chicks!
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the little chick fluttering in the water, suddenly lifted the little chick up with her back, and then glared at Xiao Wu angrily.
Xiao Wu smiled, "The bubble water is easy to wash." ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao jerked her head into the basin, and then suddenly raised the cat's head.
"Ahh
Xiao Wu was suddenly thrown by Cheng Xiaoxiao.
"Chirp!"
"Meow!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao and the little chick looked at Xiao Wu's embarrassed soup chicken, and a bird and a cat fluttered happily in the water.
"Two little ancestors, you can spare me!"
Xiao Wu tried to hold down Cheng Xiaoxiao with one hand and the little chick with the other, but his eyes were fascinated by the water, he grabbed the little chick, his hand was poked by the cat's paw, and when he caught the cat, his hand was pecked by the little chick.
Chu Yunshen, who was half-leaning on a chair to read the book of soldiers, heard the sound of cats meowing from the hall, raised his eyes, and moved from the book of soldiers to the hall of one person, one bird and one cat (shēn), their movements were so great that he couldn't even read the book.
The midday sun shines through the unclosed windows and falls on the splashing water in the main hall.
Chu Yun sat down in the right (shēn), closed the book, and then moved to the hall.
The frolicking people, birds, and cats didn't notice that Chu Yunshen was looking at them intently at this time.
"Yikes! Lord! ”
After Xiao Wu finally washed the cat and bird, he looked up and found that the prince was leaning on the pillar next to him, his eyes were staring at the lion cat in his hand.
"Hmm."
Chu Yunshen stretched out his hand towards Xiao Wu, who immediately wiped the water droplets on the lion cat (shēn) in his arms with a blanket, and then handed it to Chu Yunshen.
Chu Yunshen raised Cheng Xiaoxiao with both hands, this little thing was very arrogant every time he faced Xiao Wu, but he was very well-behaved when he came to his arms.
He raised his hand and lightly tapped the nose of the little thing, and said softly, "What about the power just now?" ”
"Meow~Meow~"
Cheng Xiaoxiao poked her little head and wanted to get into Chu Yunshen's arms, but Chu Yunshen's arms were always supported there, and she could only flutter her cat's claws in mid-air, trying to grab Chu Yunshen's clothes.
Chu Yunshen looked at the little thing in his hand that kept sticking out his tongue and selling cute meows at him, hooked his hand, put Cheng Xiaoxiao into the crook of his arm, and hooked the corner of his mouth and said, "Will you still run around in the future?" ”
"Meow~Meow~"
Cheng Xiaoxiao shook her head like a rattle.
Who knew that as soon as the second (ri) day dawned, Cheng Xiaoxiao healed the scar again and forgot the pain, and as soon as Chu Yunshen walked with her front foot, she slipped out of the room with her back foot.
This time she didn't take the chick with her, but went to the well of yesterday by herself.
When Cheng Xiaoxiao just ran to the well, she heard a scream, "The cat came again yesterday, everyone come out quickly!" ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao watched a little girl who looked like she was eleven or twelve years old poking her head out of a well.
Such a young girl died?
Cheng Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and silently recited, 'Lingyu obeys, (yu) opens the eyes of heaven for you. ’
When I opened my eyes again, I saw that the little girl (shēn) was transparent, showing a red pustular rash on her forehead, cheeks, wrists, arms, trunk, and lower limbs.
Did this little girl die of smallpox?
There is no effective treatment for smallpox, either in ancient times or today, but as a modern person, she was given a vaccine called cowpox from birth to prevent smallpox.
"Why don't you go to reincarnation?" Cheng Xiaoxiao jumped onto the well platform and stared at the little girl with her eyelashes.
The little girl immediately shy retracted her head back into the well, and looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao with her eyes open in the well.
