Chapter 29: Careful
Qingqing and Qiao Dayong came back after the third watch, Yue Wenqin went to the Chinese medicine shop to find some chicken tongue incense and came back, and asked He to boil the bath water and add the chicken tongue incense water to it, without saying anything, let them soak it.
Qiao Dayong shook his head, took off his clothes outside, threw them on the ground, and immersed his face in the well water with a little temperature, and raised his head after a while, "I got some for Qingqing, she hasn't eaten for a day." ”
"Is rice soup okay? Drink and sleep. Yue Wenqin had dinner in the evening, and after waiting for a while, it was dark, and they saw that their father and daughter had not come back. Pulled An An to go in through the back door of the yamen to have a look, but before they could enter the mortuary, they retreated. The radish soup and braised pork were all packed for He to send away quickly, and he took a casserole specially for porridge and began to boil rice soup. kept stirring, boiled the rice into white pulp, and finally strained the rice soup to ensure that it was a bowl of rice soup for nothing.
Qingqing didn't come out at all, after Qingqing was seriously ill at the age of ten, she loved cleanliness very much, Qiao Dayong's twenty-four filial father, could she not take a hot bath? So a small hot soup pool was specially installed in the ear room of the second entrance. Of course, in this house, except for Qingqing, no one will go in and soak every day. He felt that it was a pity for the firewood, so he married into the Qiao family and developed the habit of taking a bath every day. So Yue Wenqin went to buy chicken tongue incense and came back, she didn't think there was any problem, anyway, Qingqing always had to be washed, and it was right for girls to take a bath with spices.
Therefore, as soon as Qingqing came back, he went into the bathroom and soaked his frozen body in the hot pool, and his whole body was shocked. But the smell of chicken tongue made her relax all of a sudden. Chicken tongue incense is the mother cloves, from the Han Dynasty there are courtiers mouth chicken tongue incense on the record of the court recital, now in the winter, let them go where to find better spices, besides, chicken tongue incense has a little medicinal value, in addition to the fragrance, mainly to stimulate appetite.
When she returned to the room from the bathroom, An An had already put the thick rice soup on her bedside, and An An moved her nose vigorously, "It doesn't seem to be very fragrant?" Put a little sugar in it, and you can sleep after drinking it. ”
Qingqing didn't want to speak, wrapped her hair, held a small bowl in both hands, and sipped slowly.
An An hurriedly climbed into bed and rubbed her hair with a large cloth towel. But they didn't ask a word, and after they went to the yamen at night, even if they didn't see any corpses, they smelled it. The two of them vomited together in the back alley of the yamen! But neither of them told Ho again. Of course, An An still smells Qingqing's hair from time to time, even if Qingqing is wearing a forensic collection suit for a day, and her hair is all wrapped in her clothes, but Qingqing still washes her hair.
"Are you scared?" Qingqing finished drinking the rice soup, and her empty stomach was much more comfortable, so she took the cloth towel and smiled at An An.
I combed my long hair, wrapped it in a long cloth towel, and wrung out my hair in the cloth towel as if I were wring clothes. Then slowly rub it with a dry cloth towel!
"I'm not afraid, it's just a little disgusting!" An An thought about it and patted her chest gently.
"Yes, I've been doing this for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen this." Qingqing sighed lightly.
"Did you find a clue?"
"I don't know if it's a clue! However, with so much effort and such a big tragedy, it can't just provoke the imperial court, right? Qingqing said while rubbing her long hair.
"An An come out to take a bath, Qingqing, you go to sleep quickly." He roared in the courtyard.
An An gently hugged Qingqing, "Sister, you are great!" ”
Qingqing smiled and hugged An An back.
She didn't sleep, put on thick clothes, sat back at her desk, and recorded everything that happened today.
"Still not sleeping?" Qiao Dayong went to take a bath in the soup pool outside, and everyone in the yamen was there. They were a little stimulated this time. One day, the big kitchen of the yamen did not dare to open the fire, only dared to boil water, make flower tea for everyone, light a bonfire in the courtyard, and throw some fruit trees into it from time to time, so as to get rid of the smell above the yamen.
It's not an unpleasant smell, on the contrary, it's very fragrant, especially for those who have been hungry for three days. But they had all seen the corpses with their own eyes, and when they smelled the smell of roasted meat, no one would not vomit.
These arrests are fast, and it is the first time for the officials to see this kind of tragedy, and Lord Tie is not the ruthless Shangguan, let them wash and get some food, and the yamen will reimburse them. He didn't go by himself, so he could only be taken by Ximen Kai and Qiao Dayong, who was head-hunting. Qiao Dayong sent it back to Qingqing first, changed his clothes, and drank a big bowl of rice soup before going out. He was absolutely convinced that no one would want to eat, except for drinking, of course.
However, Ximen Kai didn't let them drink, took a bath, went to the mash restaurant, and ate a bowl of mash dumplings by himself, of course, Ximen Kai also asked people to wrap two bowls for Qiao Dayong to bring back to Qingqing and An An. Everyone didn't want to talk, and the first time there was a case made everyone lose the desire to speak.
Qiao Dayong was also very heavy, and came back with the soup ball, and when he saw Qingqing still writing hard, he didn't go in, and took a bowl of soup ball and put it on her desk.
"Write down the words of the day, and An An can also refer to it in the future." Qingqing smiled.
"Uncle, you're back, what's in your hand?"
"Black sesame gnocchi, boiled with mash, do you want to eat it?" Qiao Dayong smiled at An An who was wrapped in Da Buli.
"Yes, I vomited all the food I ate at night, that, uncle, you put it in Brother Yue's room, and he didn't eat it." An An was violently carried away by He's family, and he was still shouting there in the courtyard with his throat pulled.
"I'm not going to eat it, Dad, take it all!" Qingqing hurriedly put her bowl back on the windowsill.
"You haven't eaten anything in a day." Qiao Dayong frowned.
"The rice soup just now is very good, I drank it all." Qingqing smiled, "By the way, thank my second aunt for helping me, and cooking chicken tongue perfume for me to take a bath, I'm so touched!" ”
"Come on, do you expect your second aunt to be sloppy? It must be a small one. Qiao Dayong chuckled softly.
Qingqing smiled, she knew that her father didn't need her reply, so she lowered her head and continued.
Qiao Dayong looked at his daughter and brought the two bowls to the front yard, Yue Wenqin hadn't slept yet, so he took a book and lay on the bed to watch. Qiao Dayong didn't enter the house either, and put the bowl on the table in front of the window, "Mash gnocchi, black sesame filling, An An said I want to eat it with you." ”
"I can't eat it!" Yue Wenqin shook his head vigorously.
"Let's eat, Kaifeng old shop, the taste is different elsewhere." Qiao Dayong didn't care, he went back to his room, he was really fed up this day. Don't want to think about it again!
An An put on her pajamas, put on a big cotton robe, and ran to Yue Wenqin's house.
"Are you waiting for me to eat together?"
"No, you can eat everything!" Yue Wenqin stretched out his hand to please.
"Xiao Yue, you eat it quickly, otherwise he will become a pig." Ho yelled on the other side.
