CHAPTER XXIII
I let out a "groan" in my heart and looked at the ink, "Where's the collar?" Collar! β
Ink looked at me inexplicably, "What collar?" β
"Bai Er's collar! I put it in my pocket, why is it gone? I hurriedly lifted the quilt, searched for the bed, turned my head and saw the butler's backpack on the stool, I struggled to get out of bed.
Shui Mo hurriedly got up to help me, "Ancestor, what's wrong with you?" What kind of white two's collar? Isn't its collar always around its neck? β
There is no ...... in the housekeeper's backpack either
I said, "Yesterday, when I was halfway down the mountain, I saw Bai Er's collar hanging on a tree branch, and there were blood stains on it...... Ink, let me tell you, something must have happened to Bai Er......"
"How can there be a collar of Second Master Bai halfway up the mountain? Are you sure you didn't see it in your dreams? Ink stared at me, "These people are not light or heavy, maybe you have blurred the boundary between reality and dreams now, what is this called in medicine?" Call...... Oh yes, hysteria! β
"Am I going to be wrong with what I'm holding in my hand? I picked it from the tree with my own hands and put it in my pocket...... "I was shocked," I was shocked, "It's broken!" I've got to get out there, I don't know if I fell out yesterday when they punched and kicked me. β
"Sit down for me!" Ink pressed me, "If you really don't want to lie on the bed, just sit on the stool." See for yourself what you have become now, where can you go with your body? A little kid can knock you on the head! Take 10,000 steps back, even if the collar is found by you, what can you do? β
"Then you believe what I say?" I asked.
"Believe what?"
"Believe I saw Bai Er's bloodstained collar and brought it back."
Shui Mo shook his head, "I don't believe it." β
I breathed a sigh of relief, "Ink, when can we leave here?" β
"Didn't you say it before? Wait for you to heal from your injury, but judging from your current performance, if you continue to toss around like this, you won't be able to walk for a month. Shui Mo picked up an apple on the table and gnawed on it, muttering, "Is Bai Ye going to make you a full banquet of the Manchu and Han Dynasty, why is it so slow to fry two dishes?" Lunch is about to turn into dinner. β
As soon as the words fell, Brother Huo pushed the door and came in, holding a tray in his hand.
Seeing this, Shui Mo immediately greeted him, "We were just talking about how Bai Ye was so slow to cook a meal, we were all starving to death, you see I used apples to satisfy my hunger." β
Brother Huo looked at me with a smile, "How is the little brother?" Why aren't you lying in bed? β
Shui Mo said, "Xiaobai just got up for a while, this is not to estimate that you are almost ready to cook." β
"Young people just can't lie down." Brother Huo put a bowl of rice in front of me, "I haven't had a serious meal for some days, come, eat more." β
I looked at the two dishes on the table, fried greens and scrambled eggs with green peppers.
I picked up a small green vegetable and dipped it in the soy sauce on a small plate, thinking that in the small shop before, I listened to Bai Ye's clichΓ©s and made up my childhood to brainwash me......
When I think about it now, it feels like it was many years ago.
Many of the things in the small shop must have expired, the rattan chairs should also be dusted, and those stray cats and dogs in the back alley will not come to wait for ham sausages and meat floss every day......
"Great!" Shui Mo suddenly snorted, "Bai Ye's skill must not be lost, and he must be taught to Xiaobai when he is free!" Hey Brother Huo, you can also eat some more with us! β
I glanced at the cup of tea in front of Brother Huo.
Shui Mo took a mouthful of dishes, and said, "Xiaobai, if you have nothing to do during your recuperation, you can go to learn how to cook from Bai Ye, and you can cook it for me in the future." β
"I'm afraid I'm not welcome in the kitchen." I said.
"What do you mean?" Ink is stuffed into the mouth with chopsticks and chopsticks.
Without raising my head, I asked Brother Huo, "Why don't you eat with us?" The room was a little smaller, but the table was big enough for six people. β
Brother Huo glanced at the ink and probably guessed that the ink had already told me about Avrelle. He smiled embarrassedly, "It's not that I'm afraid that too many people will affect the rest of the little brother, you need to recuperate now." β
I replied, "Can I still recuperate while eating?" Is it more tiring for six people to eat together than for two people? β
Brother Huo didn't know what to say for a while, and looked at the ink.
Shui Mo said, "Xiaobai, if you like a lot of people, when you are in better health, let's find a bigger place, call all the villagers, how about everyone sit down and eat together?" β
"Yes, yes, yes." Brother Huo chimed in.
I said, "Who dares to come but you?" Aren't you afraid I'll eat them? β
Brother Huo smiled, "Little brother, don't be careful, we ate first because we were hungry, it's really not because Avger is unwilling to eat with you......"
Shui Mo coughed violently when he heard it, and squeezed his eyebrows at Brother Huo.
Brother Huo also realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly changed his words, "Avgerle wants to eat with you...... But now she's a little scared...... No, no, she's not afraid, I'm afraid ......" Brother Huo said incoherently.
Ink on the forehead......
I put down my chopsticks, got up and limped to the bed, lying down with my back to them.
Shui Mo asked, "Xiaobai, you don't eat it?" β
"I'm full."
"But you've only eaten a bite of this rice."
"I'm only used to eating white rice."
Shui Mo asked Brother Huo softly, "Isn't this meal made by Bai Ye?" β
"The dish is, the rice is not." Brother Huo muttered quietly, "Can this be eaten too?" β
Shui Mo said, "Then Xiaobai, you rest first, and I'll go and let Bai Ye personally stew a bowl of rice for you." You say how could this old man accidentally forget such an important thing as stewed rice, it is estimated that he is old. β
Brother Huo said, "Bai Ye didn't forget, he was busy with his ......"
Brother Huo was only halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by a cough from Ink. Then there was a soft closing of the door.
I sat up from my bed, depressed.
Now, I have become a thorn in Avgerle's heart. After all, this face killed her parents and ruined her home. Who would want to see me now but these few people around me?
If they were a minute late for the ink painting last night...... No, maybe in ten seconds, this face will wash a village in blood. At that time, under that circumstance, I couldn't suppress Bai San.
"Bai San, why did you do that last night?" I asked.
"In a moment of danger, you don't need to be summoned and you should have a reaction, who said that?" Bai San asked me rhetorically.
I'm dumbfounded.
It continued, "Or is it not a dangerous situation like last night?" β
"They're innocent villagers," I said. β
Bai San asked, "Are they innocent?" So, are you not innocent or am I not innocent? β
"Bai San, we are one, I can feel your anger and unwillingness, but are those villagers who wrongly framed us? Even if you kill them, we will not be innocent, but will become the real murderers, and there will only be another group of unjust souls in this place. β
Bai San said, "The kindness of a woman." β
"It's not a woman's kindness, murder must pay for life, we will definitely find the murderer, and we will definitely avenge this revenge."
Bai San said, "I hope that on that day, you can slash the murderer without hesitation." If you can't keep your promise, don't stop me again, don't hurt me a second time. β
I wondered, "What did it hurt you a second time?" β
Bai San stopped talking.
I asked, "Speak, white ......" Suddenly a drop of blood dripped on the back of my hand, I touched my nose, and my hand was bright red, and I was shocked.
"Xiaobai, Bai Ye said that this soup ......" Shui Mo pushed the door in with a tray, and when he saw me, the tray in his hand fell to the ground, and the bowl shattered...... ", Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?" He ran over, "It's not like I'm just walking away and you're being beaten up again, right?" β
"Am I really that badly beaten? Hurry up and get me some paper! "I tilted my head.
Shui Mo said, "What the hell did you do?" I don't think you have any new injuries on your face. β
"Do you think there's any new wound on my face? Even if there is a new injury, it can't be seen. The nosebleed stopped, I wiped the blood on my hands, thinking about Bai San's words in my heart, and asked, "Ink, under what circumstances will we harm the spirit stones in our bodies?" β
Ink "tsk" and frowned, "Why don't you get oil and salt!" Didn't I tell you not to think about any spirit stones anymore, I thought about it to madness before, and now I think about it to nosebleeds, do you still want to take care of your body and find immortals? β
"Of course I do!" I said, "This nosebleed is not because of the spirit stone." β
"So what are you thinking about?" Shui Mo suddenly looked at me with a lewd face, pretentious, "Xiaobai, you are bad, you should not have been thinking about ...... just now?"
"!" I scolded, "You don't listen to you if you don't fuck with Bai Ye, you look at it now...... By the way, did you mention Bai Ye when you entered the door just now? β
Shui Mo was stunned for a moment, "Oh yes, Bai Ye said that the soup ......" Shui Mo pointed to the broken bowl on the ground at the door, his face changed abruptly, "It's over, it's over, Bai Ye's six hours of hard work ......"
"What soup has been boiling for six hours?" I asked.
"Xiaobai, if Master Bai asks, you will say that you drank it, it is delicious, fragrant and strong! Don't say I've broken you! This old man's mouth is too broken, and I, a little golden arrogance, can't listen to his endless chatter. β
I smiled at the ink and looked at the door.
Bai Ye stood at the door and shouted, "You bitch, get over to Lao Tzu!" β
Shui Mo immediately ran behind the table, "Master Bai! Master Bai, listen to me calmly first, your child had a nosebleed just now, and I was so frightened that I didn't hold it for a while. β
"Disemboweled, you kid don't blink when he sees his eyes, can a nosebleed scare you so much that you can't even hold the plate?" Bai Ye chased him around the table.
When Ink went around to the door, he ran out with a smoke and shouted, "Xiaobai, I'll come to you again tomorrow morning!" β
"You'll fucking live until tomorrow morning!" After Bai Ye scolded, he also chased out.
I shouted, "Oh guys! Pack up and go! β
I reluctantly walked to the door, crouched on the ground and picked up the pieces in the tray. I accidentally saw a corner of the tray, as if there was a knife scratch, took a closer look, and found that it was an English letter "F".
βFοΌβ I was suddenly startled and thought of the "English Corner" with Xiaofan in Tang Wangcheng.
I thought about it carefully, "F"...... Yes is the representative ...... Leave!
It's a little pink! Little powder in Niujia Village!
My heart was beating wildly, and I immediately walked to the door and looked around. Since he came, why didn't he come to me directly, but left me a secret message and told me to leave?
I knew that Xiaofan would really use the set I taught him, so I should have prepared some more code words at that time, just an "F", how to guess?
"What are you thinking about when you stinky boy? It's windy at the door, so hurry inside. Bai Ye panted and walked over, scolding the ink in his mouth, and pushed me into the house, "Don't let Lao Tzu catch that bastard!" β
"Isn't it just a bowl of soup, go back and make me another bowl." I glanced at him, "But people in love are so busy that they don't even have time to cook, let alone make soup, hey...... I guess I can't drink it anymore. β
Bai Ye helped me to the edge of the bed and sat down, looking at me with a smile, "What are you sour here when you fall in love?" Still jealous? β
"You don't pretend to be amorous, it's better to marry yourself off as soon as possible, and you always talk about me all day long."
Bai Ye said, "I like to talk about it, then you marry yourself first!" If you are preempted by your son, it will be a shame! β
I looked at the tray in my hand, "Old man, is there any news of the valley drop recently?" β
"No, if there is, Ink's mouth without a door would have told you a long time ago?" Bai Ye took the tray I was holding, "Go to bed early, that muddy boy, I'll unload his dog's leg and stew you tomorrow!" β
After Bai Ye left, I walked around the room, thinking about the "F" that represented leaving.
Suddenly, "to leave" may not be a verb, but to refer to a place, if to leave...... Village!
This is a code word for a meeting place, Xiaofan must be waiting for me at the entrance of the village now!
I grabbed a coat and walked out.
