Chapter 20: Little Lotus (II)
It wasn't until three o'clock that Jing Xin was awakened by the emptiness in her abdomen, she slowly raised her head, and heard a nice voice above her head: "Are you awake?" ”
Jing Xin was confused at this time, and his mind was full of: Who am I? Where is this? Why am I here?
Yan Qing didn't dare to move all morning, for fear of waking her up, and when she finally woke up, she thought she had accidentally woken her up.
Jing Xin shook his little head, and after a while he came back to his senses, thinking that he was lying on Yan Qing's lap now, he hurriedly jumped down embarrassedly, changed back to his original form, touched his head and said, "That, I'm sorry for you." "It's a small voice.
"Well, that's okay." Yan Qing pretended not to care about the book, and did not look at her, but quietly moved his legs that were numb from being pressed, and did not dare to move too much to be noticed by her.
He hadn't read a book all morning, his mind was full of thoughts, he couldn't concentrate at all, his whole brain was in a state of emptiness, in a trance, and there was some indescribable joy.
Jing Xin had just woken up, her whole head was dizzy, and her face was still red and hot.
Yan Qing glanced at her, and his heart jumped unconsciously, so frightened that he quickly turned his head back, staring at the book in his hand with his eyes. These familiar words, one by one, absentmindedly read on, obviously know everything, but can no longer understand the meaning.
He felt that something might be out of his mind.
Jing Xin stood aside and touched her hot face with her cool little hands. At this moment, her stomach suddenly screamed, and she let out an unusually loud "grunt".
Yan Qing resisted the desire to turn his head, and said with a smile: "Are you hungry? ”
Jing Xin "um" "um" and nodded awkwardly.
"Then you go wash up first, and I'll take you to lunch in a while," Yan Qing finally got up and said, "After eating, I'll take you to see the woman I rescued yesterday." With that, he walked out the door.
Jing Xin hurriedly followed, looking at his dashing back, for some reason, she felt that his walking posture seemed to be a little weird.
ˉ
After eating, Jing Xin walked with Yan Qing in the courtyard, and seeing that he hadn't taken himself to see Xiaolian, he asked, "Yan, Yan Qing, when will you take me to see her?" ”
Yan Qing's mind was full of thoughts at this time, all he was thinking about was why Jing Xin was not taboo when he ate meat and vegetables just now. Don't foxes all eat meat? Could it be that after becoming a demon, he is the same as a human? What if I eat it badly? Ask a veterinarian next time.
"Hey, when are you going to take me to see Xiaolian?"
Yan Qingzheng was thinking about it, but when he saw Jing Xin suddenly come to him, he was startled and came back to his senses, and found that he was about to go to the West Wing.
"Where the hell is Xiaolian? If you don't take me, I'll go myself. Jing Xin was dissatisfied.
Yan Qing hurriedly pointed to a house in front of him and replied, "It's coming soon, just ahead." ”
Jing Xin whispered a "hum" and ran forward in a hurry. Yan Qing also hurriedly followed.
Opening the door, Jing Xin saw the maid Bailan fetching water by the well in the yard, and walked up to ask "Hello, are you taking care of the girl in this house?" ”
Bai Lan saluted her, and when she saw Yan Qing who had just walked in, she also saluted him from afar, and then said with a smile: "It's good for the white girl to call me Bai Lan directly, don't be so polite." I'm really taking care of this girl. ”
"Okay, Bai Lan, it's good if you call me Bai Yu. How about the girl inside? Are you okay? ”
"I just woke up this morning, I look very sad, I haven't spoken, and sometimes I cry." Bai Lan replied truthfully, and after speaking, she looked at Yan Qing, who was standing far away, and asked curiously, "Sister Bai Yu, what is that girl doing?" ”
"Well......" Jing thought to himself, it was better not to make a big deal about other people's affairs, so he said mysteriously, "She's just a poor person that I and your master rescued." ”
Bai Lan became even more curious, and asked again, "You rescued it with your master?" Last night? ”
Jing Xin nodded, and was about to continue talking to her, when she saw Yan Qing's impatient eyes, and said hurriedly: "I won't talk to you first, you will be busy first." After speaking, he left Bai Lan and trotted in the direction of Yan Qing.
Bai Lan still wanted to say something to her, but she had already run away, bouncing and walking with Yan Qing, and said in her heart, the relationship between these two people is not ordinary. Sister Bai Guo should be sad when she finds out, right?
Over there, the two of them were about to go in together, but Jing Xin suddenly stopped and said to Yan Qing: "I'll go in first, you wait outside." ”
"Why?" Yan Qing frowned, puzzled.
"I just asked Bai Lan, she said that Xiaolian's state should not be very good, you are a big man in it, she will definitely be a little restrained."
Yan Qingxin said the same, so he let her go in alone, and walked to the gazebo on the side and sat down.
As a result, it didn't take long for Jing Xin to come out, his face full of helplessness.
Yan Qing hurriedly asked, "What?" ”
"She didn't say anything, and when she saw people, her eyes were dull, and she didn't have any energy." Jing Xin said sullenly, "Any woman will be like this when she encounters this kind of thing." ”
Yan Qing sighed and said, "I knew that this kind of thing would not come to fruition, and you still have to investigate." ”
Well?
Jing thought about it for a moment and realized that he was talking about the fact that he had to go to the willow house to investigate.
It seems that Xiaolian's line is temporarily broken, but she didn't think so much when she saved her, if it is broken, it will be broken, maybe it will be useful in the future.
That Lin Ling doesn't look like she can lie, so I'll find a chance to ask her next time.
-
On the other side, Arou and Lin Ling came to a teahouse in men's clothes and found a seat to sit down.
This teahouse is very popular in Lianhua Town, even in the usual farming season, the building is always full, and the local wealthy landlords like to come and go from time to time.
The name of the teahouse is "Qing", but it has a unique charm, and the signature tea of this shop is also named "Qingxin Tea", although the name is flattering, but when you drink it, it is just an ordinary product.
Fortunately, this teahouse is not famous for its tea, but for its wonderful storytelling.
"Qing" is a large teahouse, divided into more than a dozen lobbies and hundreds of private rooms. There are dozens of tables in each lobby, which can accommodate hundreds of people to listen to books together, and those who can sit in the private rooms upstairs can even recruit a few excellent actors, not to mention how happy they are. There are also some families who joke that this is the most wanted place to visit, in addition to the best brothel in town.
It's just that this lobby also has a distinction between primary and secondary, and the more the main seat, the higher the fee, which is just the entrance fee, and the tea and snack money is calculated separately. Of course, the more the main storyteller, the more exciting the content is, and the more skilled the storyteller is.
Arou and Lin Ling only came to the second hall this time, and the entrance fee was so cheap that it only cost five cents, and ordinary people could come often, so there were more people here than in the main hall inside.
At this time, it is the halftime shift change, the last storyteller has just left, and the next one will have to wait for the next one.
Most of the people in the audience ordered some simple refreshments and talked with their companions while eating. For a while, the hall was noisy.
"You say, is he really going to come here?" Lin Ling supported her head with her hands and asked Arou expectantly.
