Chapter 10: Door-to-door
"It's time to sleep, I'm sleepy......"
Chen Xi stretched out his hand to cover his lips, yawned a long time, then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, glanced at the urn and canon on the bed, and said to Lin Chu:
"The urn can be placed on top of the bookshelf, you can hide the canon, it just happens that the canon is not big, you can just stuff it directly into the back of that row of books. ”
"It's not good to hide it like that. Lin Chu frowned slightly and said, "It's best to get a place like a secret grid, otherwise once you are suspected, if someone searches your home, once it is discovered, isn't it self-defeating?"
Chen Xi was slightly stunned, thought about it, and said: "Then hide it in the storage room, there is a secret compartment in the floor of the storage room where the safe is hidden, it used to be where my mother hid her relics, I will look for the key." ”
She didn't care about sleepiness, so she knelt on the carpet in front of her desk and rummaged through the cabinet below.
Lin Chu watched the two white little legs dangling in front of her behind her, and after a few glances, she couldn't help but have her legs full of brains, and secretly despised herself, why did she still peek?
So, he folded his arms and admired it openly, without blinking his eyes.
After a while, Chen Xi took out a slender copper key from the bottom cabinet, turned around and shook it at Lin Chu happily, and said:
"That's it, let's go. ”
The two came to the storage room on the second floor, and after moving one of the shelves away, Chen Xi found a thin steel blade from the shelf, inserted the blade into the gap of one of the floors, and pressed it hard, priing up a corner of this thick wooden floor.
She grabbed the corner and opened the wooden floor, revealing a dark safe with a brass lock hanging from it.
After opening the copper lock, Chen Xi put the canon in the safe, and then restored it as it was, and finally did not forget to fill the nearby dust into the cracks in the floor, which seemed to be fine, so he and Lin Chu moved the shelves next to them back and blocked the floor.
"Whew, I'm tired. ”
Chen Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Lin Chu again, and said helplessly:
"Lin Chu, your strength doesn't seem to be great, doesn't your dream ability improve your physique?"
Lin Chu shrugged his shoulders and said:
"You know it's a dream, and when you hear it, it's a mental ability, of course, it only changes the brain, and the brain will be diseased......"
At this point, he stopped abruptly.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xi looked at him suspiciously.
Lin Chu was silent for a moment, stretched out his hand and pressed it in various places on his head, and then he showed a smile and said:
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly realized that there are still benefits to being a Heroic Spirit.
"When I was alive, after awakening the ability to dream, I had a tumor in my head...... Well, you can understand it as a harmful piece of meat, the stronger my dream ability, the more serious the tumor in my brain, I used to sleep without daring to sleep next to the pillow, as long as I gently squeezed the skull, it would be very painful.
"And now that I've become a Heroic Spirit, I don't have that problem at all. ”
Chen Xi blinked his eyes, but patted his chest gently, exhaled as if relieved, and said:
"Huh, then I summoned you out, it can be regarded as a great favor for you, it seems that I am still a little useful, I thought I was just a burden, after all, I am not strong, I have no talent, and my brain is not smart...... I'm afraid you'll turn on me. ”
"How come?" Lin Chu smiled dumbly, and silently complained in his heart: It is the silly white sweet type of host like you that is the most suitable for me, and the mental talent is also high, and he can't do so many things.
"Hey, it's good not to dislike me. ”
Chen Xi smiled brightly and beckoned to Lin Chu, "Lin Chu, you turn into a spirit and return to my body, it's time to go back to sleep, I'm going to die." ”
Lin Chu shook his head slightly and said:
"No, you just sleep, I'm just looking at your books to get a feel for this era. ”
"Well, if my sister or maid comes in the door, remember to become a spirit and don't let them find you. Chen Xi nodded.
Lin Chu nodded and said:
"I know, but you can't sleep too long, and if you wake up an hour or two late, you can still use staying up late last night to study as an excuse.
"If you wake up a few hours late, your maid may suspect that you didn't sleep all night last night, and if the Justice Corps investigates this, it's a suspicion. ”
Chen Xi was stunned and couldn't help but say:
"Lin Chu, you are so careful, you wait a minute, I'll see the time. ”
She walked briskly back to her bedroom, glanced at the clock on the wall, and then pursed her lips and calculated:
"As is my usual practice, I have about two hours to get up, and if I don't get up, the maid usually calls me at breakfast three hours later, and I'll sleep for another three hours...... No, it's good to sleep for another two and a half hours, and it's better not to let people notice the abnormality.
"Hey, it's only been two and a half hours, and my mother said that poor sleep is not good for the skin......
"But life is more important, next time I ask Uncle Fang to go to the main city of 'Hundred Rings in the Moon', let him help me bring some nourishing liquid to maintain my skin......
After planning to himself for a while, Chen Xi clenched his delicate little fist and made a cheering gesture to cheer himself up, "Chen Xi, you must be able to get up, believe in yourself!"
Lin Chu smiled dumbly, and couldn't help but say:
"Don't worry, I'll get you up. ”
"Oh, I almost forgot, Lin Chu, you can wake me up. Chen Xi patted his head, and couldn't help but smile and said to Lin Chu: "Then I'll sleep at ease, Lin Chu, you remember to wake me up at half past eight." ”
After speaking, she completely put her mind at ease, easily threw herself on the soft bed that she had missed for a long time, wrapped herself in the quilt, smelled the faint fragrance of smoke, and moaned comfortably, before covering her mouth with the quilt, only revealing half of her little face and looking at Lin Chu cutely, and whispered:
"Good night. ”
"Good night. Lin Chu smiled.
Chen Xi waved his hand at him slightly, then picked up the blindfold at the head of the bed and put it on, and after a while, he fell asleep.
Lin Chu was stunned, but he didn't think about it that much, he just walked to the desk and sat down, and by the thin morning light outside the window and the light overhead, he picked up Chen Xi's teaching materials and began to understand this era......
Before you know it, a night has passed.
Lin Chu had already heard the movement of the maid outside the door when she was busy, and glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already half past eight, and it was time to wake up Chen Xi, so he put down the teaching materials in his hand.
However, he didn't go to Chen Xi's bedside to call her, but activated the dream ability, directly pulled her consciousness into the dream, and splashed her with a bucket of ice water in the dream, so that her consciousness kicked her out of the dream at the moment of waking.
"Ahh
Chen Xi exclaimed, sat up suddenly, pulled off the blindfold, looked down at the nightgown on his body again, and found that it was not wet, so he breathed a sigh of relief:
"It turned out to be a dream......"
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, and then remembered that there was someone else in the room, so she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lin Chu, and said in a muffled and cute voice:
"Lin Chu, what time is it?"
Lin Chu glanced at the time on the wall, pretended to be surprised, and said:
"Huh, you woke up? It's exactly half past eight, and I was thinking about letting you sleep for another minute, but you actually woke up by yourself? Chen Xi, you are so amazing. ”
"Hee-hee, it's so-so. ”
Chen Xi couldn't help but his nose and laughed, completely unaware that he was woken up by a bucket of ice water splashed by his own black-hearted heroic spirit.
"Knock knock. ”
At this moment, there was a sudden knock at the door, and then a slightly old and low female voice came in:
"Miss, are you awake?"
"Call me so early?" Chen Xi showed a look of doubt, and then shouted:
"Aunt Zhang, I'm up, but I haven't changed my clothes yet, you wait a minute, I'll go down for breakfast right away, you go and tell Xiao Ke to get up first." ”
I only heard Aunt Zhang outside the door say again:
"No, miss, a commander of the Righteous Corps wants to see you, and now he is in the living room downstairs. ”
Chen Xi's face changed suddenly.
How did you come to the door so quickly?
