Chapter Seventy-Four: Is This Waiting?
It had been a long time since he had looked at Chang Le so closely. Her appearance is indeed a lot haggard compared to before, but the whole person has much more aura than before. Especially the pair of dripping eyes, anyone who looks at it will find it funny.
Looking back on what she is doing now, I found that she is bolder and cheekier than before, less well-behaved and more frank. Moreover, now she doesn't hide her mind as before. Rather, it's not cute.
This kind of Changle seems to be good.
Chang Le visually measured their distance, and then punched. Immediately wanted to cry without tears and bit his lower lip, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that his dark eyes were narrowed, exuding a dangerous light, and he hurriedly said: "You get up first, this matter is related to your future." ”
"Oh? That's even more important to listen to. Zhang Changxiu raised his eyebrows and looked at her, full of banter.
He wanted to see how fast her eyes could turn.
Chang Lesheng had nothing to love, and rolled his eyes: "How do you listen like this?" I can't tell. ”
"Then we'll talk about it tomorrow." Zhang Changxiu suddenly lowered his voice.
Chang Le saw that his eyes suddenly sank, leaned down, and immediately turned his head in fright, and his kiss fell on her sideburns. Feeling that Zhang Changxiu had no intention of getting up, his eyes closed, and he bit his shoulder fiercely.
Unexpectedly, the force was too strong, and there was a bloody taste in the mouth. The bad taste made her let go of her mouth when Zhang Changxiu screamed in pain, and Zhang Changxiu got up.
Chang Le also sat up, and one rolled over and jumped out of bed, two arms away from him. In a safe place, he snorted the smell of blood in his mouth and the fluff on his clothes in disgust.
"You're a dog?!" Zhang Changxiu covered his shoulders angrily.
"I told you I had something to say, but you didn't listen." Chang Le wiped his mouth and frowned back.
Zhang Changxiu gritted his back molars, and his anger was not vented: "Didn't I tell you tomorrow?" ”
"It's too late tomorrow!"
Chang Le stomped his feet that didn't have time to put on his shoes, this floor is really icy!
"Then you say it now!"
"I'm menstruating!"
“……”
Zhang Changxiu stared at Chang Le, the expression on his face changed rapidly, and finally became tangled. Resignedly, he covered the shoulder that was bitten by her, and was so angry that he lost his temper: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
Isn't that the reason she just came up with?
Chang Le moved to the side, sat on a flower bench, lifted his feet off the ground, and warmed each other together.
"I told you that it was a big deal about your future, but you didn't wait for me to finish."
"Are you a pig? Is there an equivalence there? Besides, this has something to do with my future! ”
Zhang Changxiu's forehead was bruised, and he suddenly regretted arguing with her about this stupid question, but her words made people can't help but scold back. After scolding, I felt that it was too insulting to Sven, and I just lost the face of Sage Kong. Immediately closed his eyes and calmly sank for a while, then he didn't open his eyes angrily, and he had no choice but to remind.
"Next time there is such a thing, you just say it, don't beat around the bush."
Chang Le shrunk back, she didn't want to have a next time.
"Why doesn't it matter, this thing is going to get out, and I think you're too drug-guarding and eating too much, how embarrassing it is......"
Zhang Changxiu listened to her muttering, his mood became even more irritable, and he held back the words that came to his mouth to let her rest early, and threw his sleeves out of the door. Before leaving the door, I heard her chattering.
"When the time comes, what will the civil and military officials think, what will the common people think, and what will the saints think of today......"
"Bang!"
The door was slammed shut by Zhang Changxiu.
The unsuspecting Chang Le almost fell off the flower bench. Chang Le raised his eyelids, and saw that there was no trace of Zhang Changxiu in the room, so he hurriedly went to tie the door. The tense body suddenly relaxed, as tired as carrying several buckets of water. Almost dragged his body to the side of the bed, his mouth was still leisurely continuing the plot just now.
"The reputation is ruined, how can you still be too guarded, even if you can keep your official position, you will ...... in the future"
didn't mutter, Chang Le leaned next to the pillow and fell asleep. For a moment, a slight purring sound came from her mouth and nose.
Chang Le slept until noon, and when he got up, only a mother-in-law was waiting.
After washing, eating and drinking, Chang Le asked his mother-in-law: "Where is Taishou?" ”
"Taishou went to the Governor's Mansion to arrest Mrs. Duwei, I don't know if I've come back." The mother-in-law replied respectfully.
When Chang Le heard that it was Mrs. Duwei, he was immediately stunned. Isn't Mrs. Du the one who asked her to draw an ape at the New Year's banquet?
"What happened to Madame Captain?"
The mother-in-law said: "I heard that it was a recent murder of a beggar child. ”
Chang Le was dumbfounded: "What's the matter?" ”
"The old slave doesn't know this."
Chang Le went straight out of the room, went around the courtyard, and walked along the main road to the yamen. Luckily, the layout of the ancient house was symmetrical, and she could go straight to the door as long as she followed the main road.
When he met Xiaoshizi on the road, Chang Le grabbed him and asked, "Xiaoshizi, let me ask you, why did Taishou arrest Mrs. Duwei?" ”
Xiao Shizi understood, and immediately said: "Pidan'er said that he was attacked by a wild man last night, and the old man of the county said that only Mrs. Duwei knew the wild man in the whole city, so the old man Taishou went to arrest Mrs. Duwei and came back for interrogation." ”
Chang Le twisted his eyebrows in disbelief, confused: "What did the preserved egg say?" ”
"Well, yesterday Pidan'er sneaked out of the yamen, and was targeted by the murderer at night, and was almost killed, but fortunately, a big brother passed by and saved him." Xiao Shizi seriously gave a brief overview of the matter.
Chang Le raised his heart and asked, "How is the preserved egg?" ”
Xiao Shizi blinked and said in disgust: "It's okay, he just fainted with fright, and some of the injuries still fell over the wall." ”
"No matter what you say, Pidan'er is still an escape from death, can you be kind to others?" Chang Le patted him on the back of the head and seriously corrected his attitude.
Xiao Shizi pretended to run up and down in worry last night, rolled his eyes, and said disappreliantly: "He deserves it, he bullies people every day, annoying people, and pulls him down even if he dies." ”
"Tsk, how do you speak!" Chang Le tugged at his fat face, and said seriously, "You can't think so, do you know?" ”
"Got it." Xiaoshizi casually perfunctory.
Chang Le pursed his lips, and suddenly understood that Zhang Changxiu pulled her over in the middle of the night last night, probably for this reason. I want her to draw the image of a murderer according to the description of the preserved egg.
In order to confirm, I also asked Xiaoshizi if it was.
"Yes, that stinky egg woke up this morning, and Master Taishou asked me to call Mrs. You. But the old man Taishou said...... "Xiao Shizi immediately straightened his face, straightened his stomach, carried his back with one hand, and shook his head to learn Zhang Changxiu's demeanor.
"Madame called when she woke up, and if she didn't wake up, forget it. Otherwise, Mrs. Taishou didn't sleep well and couldn't concentrate, and she couldn't draw well. If you ask what happened when you called yesterday, you can say, it's okay, just let her teach painting in the East Courtyard as usual today. ”
For Zhang Changxiu's behavior in this explanation, Chang Le didn't know whether to be moved or speechless. Throwing away Zhang Changxiu, I felt that this case pointed the finger at Mrs. Duwei, which was really incredible.
After all, Mrs. Duwei's savage was seen in the deep mountains of Yuguo, and listening to Mrs. Duwei's tone at that time, she hadn't seen it for many years. Even, maybe only once and never again.
How could she instruct a wild man to kill someone?
"Can you see the appearance of a savage?" Chang Le had nothing to do anyway, so he asked in passing.
At that time, Mrs. Du Wei proposed to let her paint, so that she could have the opportunity to appear, slap the faces of those rich women, and clear up the gossip, which could be regarded as a great favor for her, and Chang Le was still grateful in his heart. Hearing that Mrs. Du Wei was in trouble, it was reasonable for her to worry about finding out about the situation.
Xiaoshizi sighed, and wanted to scold again. can think of Chang Le's nagging mouth, so he couldn't help but be scathing, just explain the situation.
"Even if he sees it clearly, he doesn't remember it, his brain is mixed up now, he only remembers seeing a terrifying person with a head full of hair, and his hands are all hairy, and he looks like a big monkey."
"There are thousands of savages, it's just a commonality." Chang Le sighed, and then raised his feet and wanted to go to the door, but he turned around and patted Xiaoshizi's head, "Where are the preserved eggs?" ”
"Playing in the side of the west courtyard." Pebble rolled his eyes.
Chang Le looked at him after washing and cleaning up, he was a white and tender little fat man, with a pair of grape-like eyes on his big round face rolling up, very funny, and couldn't help laughing.
"Let's go, take me to see it."
……
After Pidan'er was rescued to prevent other beggars from rioting, Zhang Changxiu did not arrange for him to go back to the east courtyard, but put him alone in the side compartment of the west courtyard. Liu San was close to him.
Serving the ancestor of this ancestor has made Liu San bitter. Liu San asked Cang Tian more than once why he always let him do these seemingly simple, but torturous errands.
If you want to say that this preserved egg, I was almost killed last night, and I didn't dare to leave the house. However, the trick is completely unaffected, what should have been done before, and what is still the case, even worse. was stunned to flicker Liu San around, all kinds of difficulties, like an uncle.
Who made him now bear the burden of identifying the murderer? He is a key figure in this case, and if he does not serve him well, he will not cooperate.
At this time, it was time for lunch, Liu San prepared two or three plates of side dishes for preserved eggs, meat and vegetarian pairing, and soup, which looked better than Chang Le's food. Chang Le woke up and ate only pickled steamed porridge and a plate of pickled vegetables and fried pork with more vegetables and less meat, which were completely based on the daily food in the yamen.
I saw preserved eggs squatting on the stool, and Hang'er Lang picked up a chopstick pickle, and he spit it out neatly as soon as he ate it, threw the chopsticks on the table, and scolded.
"Phew! Is this what people eat? ”
Liu San was tortured by him for a few hours, and he couldn't stand it at this time, so he slapped the table angrily and scolded: "You dog. Mother-raised, do you want to eat it? If you don't eat Lao Tzu, you won't serve! ”
This level of insult is simply light in the course of Pidan'er's life, and he usually doesn't hear it when he covers his ears. He can't do it today, after all, now he is the uncle!
Uncle, how can you be scolded?
"Do you like to serve or not, uncle, I don't want you to serve!"
Pidan'er sat on the stool, leaning on the back of the chair, stepping on the surface of the chair with one foot and kicking the edge of the table with the other. A few black toes protruded from the hole in the front of the rag shoe, emitting a foul smell. He wrapped his hands around, raised his head to Liu three nostrils, and looked at the sky with his eyes, so stunned.
