Chapter 24 When things go wrong, there must be demons
In the following time, Bai Zichao kept persuading the two to drink, Bai Zixin didn't want to deal with him, but he couldn't stand the old man's pressure, so he could only accompany him.
Bai Qiuluo saw Bai Zichao being so courteous, and knew that he must be uneasy and kind, but he didn't show anything, and she didn't know what he wanted to do, so she had to be secretly vigilant.
While they were drinking, Bai Qiuluo went to bring dinner to Shao Nanchu.
"What? Troubled? Shao Nanchu opened her mouth lightly, and her gaze swept over her frowning eyebrows as if inadvertently.
"No, I just think it's a little abnormal." Bai Qiu fell into a conscious way.
After muttering, she thought about Bai Zichao's reaction at the dinner table, and she never let go of her eyebrows.
Shao Nanchu waited for a while without waiting for her next step, and finally looked up at her.
Seeing that she frowned but didn't speak, she understood that she didn't want to say more, nor did she inquire, so she only said lightly: "There must be a demon when something goes wrong." ”
Bai Qiuluo suddenly looked up at him when he heard this, but saw him eating quietly, and the room was silent, as if no one had spoken.
"Thank you." Bai Qiuluo said sincerely.
She was still entangled in thinking about Bai Zichao's idea, but what was there to think about? It's not a good thing after all, she just needs to keep an eye on it, but it's a mediocrity to think about it.
Shao Nan didn't raise his head at first, and after eating the food in the bowl, he handed the bowl to her: "Be careful yourself." ”
Bai Qiuluo bowed slightly, and walked away with the empty bowl.
Looking at her thin back, Shao Nanchu frowned slightly, and then slowly let go.
She is so clever, what is there, she must be able to solve it, he is full of injuries at this time, and he is powerless, so it is better to take care of his injuries.
Because Bai Zichao suddenly woke up, he drank a lot of wine with Old Man Bai and Bai Zixin, and finally both of them drank a lot, got up, and went back to the room with a red face, and Bai Zichao also looked drunk and went back to his room.
It's night, the night is dark and the wind is high, and the white family is high.
With an almost imperceptible creak, the door opened and a figure sneaked out of it.
Quietly closed the door with his backhand, and he tiptoed towards the guest room where Shao Nanchu was.
In the afternoon, after he got the news, he thought about how to make the money, and after thinking about it, he decided to come back first, but when he didn't want to come back, he happened to see the scene where Shao Nanchu handed the jade pendant to Bai Qiuluo.
He secretly looked outside the crack of the door, although it was not real, but after a glance, he could also judge that it was a good jade, if it could be sold, it would definitely be worth a lot of money! It was a bonus.
Bai Zichao only thought about how to get the jade, so there was a scene where he poured wine at dinner.
After all, it's easy to fall asleep after drinking, and when they all die of sleep, he'll be able to do it.
Sneakily opened Shao Nanchu's door and got in, Bai Zichao touched the side of the bed with the moonlight shining in from the window, and reached for Shao Nanchu, who was asleep on the bed.
Silent late at night, with a cry of "Ahh The scream pierced the sky and broke the silence, because of the shoulder injury and the vigilance of Bai Zichao, Bai Qiuluo did not sleep peacefully, and almost at the moment when the scream came out, she woke up.
Suddenly her eyes widened, she sat up, heard the screams coming from again, and hurriedly lit the lamp and got up.
When she pushed the door out, Bai Zixin and his wife had already put on their clothes and walked out of the room.
"Dad, mother, that voice seems to be from an uncle?" Bai Qiuluo hurriedly ran to the two of them and said.
Bai Zixin's wine hadn't fully woken up, he was pushed awake by Chen Ping, and he was still a little confused at this time.
"Really? But when I heard the sound, it seemed to be coming from the guest room. ”
"Dad, mother, let's go over and take a look, don't anything happen." Bai Qiuluo hurriedly said anxiously.
"Lao Bai, Qiuluo is right, let's go over and have a look." Chen Ping hurriedly followed.
The family of three hurriedly went to Shao Nanchu's room, opened the door, lit the lamp, and looked at the scene in front of them in surprise.
I saw that Shao Nanchu had already sat up, and Bai Zichao was grabbed by the wrist and knelt on the side of the bed screaming again and again.
Bai Qiuluo noticed the jade pendant in Bai Zichao's hand at a glance, and suddenly suddenly, a look of shame flashed on his face.
"Uncle, what are you doing when you don't sleep in the middle of the night, and you come to Ren Nanchu's room?" Bai Qiuluo immediately spoke without hesitation.
Although she was particularly disgusted with this Bai Zichao and couldn't look down on him, how could she say that he was also her uncle, and she still felt hot on her face and embarrassed to do this kind of stealing villain.
"Yes, big brother, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" Bai Zixin also asked.
He hasn't woken up yet, and he still thinks Bai Zichao is a prodigal son who has turned back.
"Hey, my hand is going to be broken, it's about to die of pain, you haven't come to save me, what are you thinking about there?" Bai Zichao only felt as if his hand was being bound by an iron hoop, and screamed.
"Oh, Nan Gongzi, you ......" Bai Zixin said in a daze, but was pulled by Bai Qiuluo.
"Uncle, what are you holding in your hand? You appeared here in the middle of the night, you couldn't have come to steal the jade pendant, right? Bai Qiuluo's cold voice fell, and Bai Zichao's screams stopped for an instant.
And the thick coldness seemed to wake up Bai Zixin from freezing, and he immediately looked at Bai Zichao's hand in shock.
He was holding a piece of jade pendant in his hand, although he was an honest peasant, but he could also see that the jade pendant was very extraordinary, flashing blue in the light.
"Bai Qiuluo, what nonsense are you talking about, why don't you let him let go of me?" A trace of embarrassment flashed across Bai Zi's face, and he immediately deliberately skipped the topic and said loudly.
"I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing?" At this moment, the voice of the old man Bai came from the door.
Old Man Bai was obviously woken up as well, with displeasure on his face.
He was old, and he drank two more glasses in the evening, so he didn't get up as soon as he heard the movement, and when he heard Bai Zixin and them get up, thinking that they went to check, he couldn't get up, but he didn't want the movement to intensify, so he could only hurriedly put on his clothes and get up.
"Dad, you ......" Bai Zichao saw Old Man Bai, and suddenly said in surprise as if he had seen a savior.
Bai Qiuluo on the side interrupted him: "Master, uncle didn't study well, he actually ran to Nan Chu's room to steal things, and asked Nan Chu to catch a good one, no wonder he kept pouring you and your father to drink at night, and the purpose of co-authoring was to steal things, if it wasn't for Nan Chu's vigilance, he would have succeeded." ”
Bai Qiuluo knew very well that with Old Man Bai's pedantic and upright temperament, he would definitely not forgive him when he heard Bai Zichao stealing things.
Sure enough, when Old Man Bai heard this, his face suddenly turned cold, his eyes staring at Bai Zichao became extremely sharp, the anger in his eyes burned, Bai Zichao's screams suddenly weakened, and he looked at Old Man Bai's eyes a little uneasy.
He was most afraid of his father showing such a look.
Old Man Bai took a deep breath and then suppressed the anger in his heart, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said, "Nan Gongzi, is there a misunderstanding in this matter?" ”
"Yes, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." Bai Zichao hurriedly shouted at this time.
For this situation, Bai Zichao can still shout misunderstanding, and Bai Qiuluo is also convinced.
"I just got up and went to the toilet, and I saw a dark shadow coming here, and I was afraid that something would happen, so I followed it, but I didn't expect it to become like this." Bai Zichao said busily.
Bai Qiuluo didn't want him to pass the test like this, sneered, and said, "Uncle, what's the matter with the family heirloom jade pendant of Nanchu that you are holding in your hand?" Could it be that the shadow stole it and stuffed it in your hand? ”
Bai Zichao was dumbfounded, hating Bai Qiuluo's exposure in his heart, but he said on his face: "Yes, that's it." ”
Everyone was speechless about Bai Zichao's cheekiness, looking at him as if they were looking at a fool.
Bai Zichao also blushed tightly, knowing that his excuse was not tenable at all, but he could only hold on.
Old Man Bai looked at Shao Nanchu at this time, and said softly: "Nan Gongzi, this matter is because the old man is not strict in discipline, and I also ask Gongzi to hand him over to me and let me discipline him myself." ”
Shao Nanchu glanced up at him lightly when he heard this, his gaze gently swept over Bai Qiuluo, and finally let go of Bai Zichao's hand.
Of course, before letting go of him, Shao Nanchu took his jade pendant back from Bai Zichao's hand.
"Today's incident is my Lao Bai's fault, old man, I must give an explanation to my son." Old Man Bai didn't care about Bai Zichao, who had already walked behind him, and said to Shao Nanchu.
"Today's matter is a misunderstanding, forget it." Shao Nanchu said indifferently: "Thanks to your old family's adoption, you invited a doctor for me, and let me cultivate here, it is Nan who should thank you." ”
"You saved Qiuluo, these are what we should do, Nan Gongzi is polite." Old Man Bai's face was not very good, and he reluctantly said, "It's dark at night, so don't bother when the son rests early." ”
Old Man Bai said, taking the people of the Bai family outside.
Bai Qiuluo walked last, and when she closed the door, she could still detect Shao Nanchu's gaze falling on her.
Looking up to meet his indifferent and cold gaze, Bai Qiuluo inexplicably understood the hidden concern inside, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips and gave him a reassuring look.
The Bai family gathered in the Bai family hall.
"Evil obstacles, you kneel for me." As soon as he entered the house, the old man Bai shouted angrily.
"Dad, don't yell, it's the middle of the night, waking up the neighbors, and you don't have to make people laugh." Bai Zichao said with a grin.
"You still know how to make jokes, then you still do some things like stealing chickens and dogs, and you have to be shameless."
"Dad, didn't they all say that it was a misunderstanding? What else do you care? ”
Faced with Bai Zichao's shamelessness, Old Man Bai was so angry that he fell backwards and almost fainted.
"Dad, are you alright? Don't be angry, it's not worth it if you're angry. Bai Zixin on the side hurriedly helped him and said with concern.
Old Man Bai looked at his worried appearance, and then looked at Bai Zichao, and hated iron even more in his heart.
