Chapter 40: Ground Movement (1)
Xiao Ru sat in the wind pavilion halfway up the mountainside, doing embroidery work in his hands, the little monkey squatted on the stone table next to him, while eating walnut kernels, while occasionally handing over needles and threads, obediently squinting, nesting on the ground drowsy, only the wind outside was moving, only to open his eyes to take a look, and the panda Xiao Pan was lazily curled up in the shade.
When they moved this time, they brought all the valuables over, but Xiaoru thought about making new ones after coming to Beijing for small items such as bedding and pillows commonly used in the bedroom.
"Young lady, do you want to add roses to this pillow?"
Xiaoru nodded, and Menier filled the dried rose petals into the pillow little by little. They used to do this work a lot, and Meng Nier and Xiaoyan were very skilled, and they did it very quickly, and in a short time, a very beautiful rose pillow was formed.
"My mother has been having a little insomnia lately, Meng Nier is going to get some mulberry leaves and cypress seeds, I'll take a look, just fill in this pillowcase." Xiaoru picked and chose an azure color, which was embroidered with a Q version of the pillowcase of the little flower cat playing with the hydrangea pattern, and said with a smile, "I remember that my mother likes this kind of pillow the most." "It's strange to say, the old lady is not young, but she likes things full of childlike fun, and now, Xiaoru makes pillows, cushions, cushions, purses and other gadgets, and the mother and Fu'er are all the same.
Meng Nier frowned, sighed and said: "In the past, the old lady had to drink a glass of goat's milk that had been fishy before going to bed, but now there are no sheep at home, so it's no wonder that the old lady can't sleep well." Young lady, starting today, our family is going to break ground on a large scale, and it is estimated that it will be quite lively, I am afraid that the old lady will lose sleep for a while. ”
Xiaoru stuck out her tongue, it seems that moving really has to take a period of adaptation, but when Zhuangzi changes and everything is cleaned up, it should be able to get on the right track soon, and now, she can only let her mother-in-law be wronged for a while.
The mountain breeze is just right, now it is autumn, there is no heat, today is a good day with high clouds and light clouds, Xiaoru is such an activity in the mountains, many days of busy drawing design drawings, watching people modify the depression of the house estate, it is completely emptied.
"Ah, rats...... Rats ......"
Xiao Ru was holding her head to look at the scenery in the mountains, and was suddenly startled by Meng Nier's roar, turned her head, and sure enough, she saw a group of four or five mice flying around, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Silly girl, what is there to be afraid of mice?" What's more, this is a mountain mouse, also known as a bamboo rat, not dirty, but also very delicious and nutritious, well, I have time to catch some and let Xiaoyan make it and eat it. ”
When they did experiments in medical school, they didn't know how many mice they had harmed, but now even if they let themselves count slowly with their fingers, she can't count them, and of course she won't be afraid of mice.
"Eat?" Meng Nier was startled, this little girl didn't look at being raised by Xiaoru very strongly, slaughtering a sheep, killing a chicken, without blinking her eyes, in fact, she was still a little girl, "Can mice still eat?" Moniel doesn't dare! ”
Seeing that her maid looked palpitating, Xiao Ru shook her head and smiled, wondering if she should raise a few pairs of bamboo rats to eat, now this thing is running all over the mountain, but in the twenty-first century, it is so expensive to death.
At this time, the little monkey Duoduo suddenly jumped up, rubbed the ground into Xiao Ru's arms, and obediently stood up, with a pair of tiger eyes wide open, Xiao Ru hugged Duoduo in surprise, looking at the hair on the obedient body standing upright.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ru lowered her head in surprise, feeling the uneasiness and restlessness in Duoduo and obediently, and said in a low voice, "Obedient, what's wrong?" ”
Obediently whimpering in her throat, as if she was talking about something, Xiaoru also listened, gradually, her face was pale, sweat rolled down her forehead, she stood up suddenly, walked out of the pavilion quickly, reached out to catch a mountain mouse that was running around, gently stroked its back, and calmed it for a while before the mountain mouse calmed down.
Xiaoru 'listened' to the mountain rat babbling for a long time before letting go of this little thing, but her heart was like boiling water, restless, earthquake? At most, there will be a major earthquake in the capital?
Xiao Ru pressed her temples, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember if there had been an earthquake in Nanjing in ancient times, shouldn't it, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in Nanjing, which should be the safest place, how could an earthquake happen? In the past, I didn't know where to throw it away, and Xiao Ru told herself again and again in her heart that if she was wrong, she was likely to be mistaken, and there could be a small earthquake in this place, but a big earthquake should be impossible......
"Young lady, young lady, what's wrong with you?"
“…… It's okay. Xiaoru smiled bitterly in her heart, she forgot that this world is an unknown world, humanities, history and geography may be different from the world in her impression, for example, this Great Xia Dynasty does not exist in her original history, and although the geographical environment is roughly the same, there are many subtle differences, even her Gao Xiaoru, a half of the geography idiot, once felt strange, in that case, what is impossible in the event of an earthquake, it's just that they just moved to the capital, and the family is about to break ground to repair the house, It's not unavoidable that this kind of thing will happen...... Well, let's just rebuild the manor......
Xiao Ru patted her head and removed the messy thoughts in her head, now is not the time to think nonsense, in fact, it is not necessarily as dangerous as she thought, maybe it is just a small earthquake of four or five magnitudes, although the animals are sensitive and can predict earthquakes in advance, but how big it is, they can't say clearly.
"Moniel, let's go back."
"Go back?" Meng Nier was stunned, the house is in chaos now, Fu'er and Jiang Yu are also studying outside, but when their master speaks, of course Meng Nier will not object, so she hurriedly got up and took her things, and followed Xiaoru back.
Xiao Ru sighed and whispered to the obedient girl, "You can find a place to stay by yourself these days, don't go home yet, and wait for the matter to pass." ”
"Uh......h Woo...... "obediently and sensibly led Xiao Pan away, the little monkey Duoduo was very obsessed, pulling Xiao Ru's sleeve and refusing to let go, Xiao Ru had no rut, this little thing is not yet an adult, it is awkward on weekdays, and it is very willful, she has no choice but to take Duoduo with her, but it is such a little thing, I have been watching it for the past few days, and it is not too troublesome."
Xiao Ru led Meng Nier all the way to the house, but went home to take a look, because Xiao Lou felt that Zhuangzi was too noisy at this time, so he took his mother-in-law to live in the city first, and Xiao Ru immediately rushed into the city.
"Sister Xiaoru?" After listening to the message from the porter, Lou Yi personally greeted him, "I was just going to pick you up, come in quickly......" Lou Yi held Xiaoru's arm, carried her into the yard, and instructed his subordinates to place the carriage and horses, and when he saw Xiaoru sweating on his head, he couldn't help laughing, "Why are you in such a hurry, how long have you just been separated, and you miss your mother so soon?" ”
Xiaoru didn't have time to tease him, as soon as she entered the house, she closed the door and sent everyone out.
Lou Yi looked at his future daughter-in-law's style and was startled, you know, although he and she are already husband and wife, but because she has not yet visited the church, Xiaoru has always been very polite, and never wants to be alone with herself, even if she gets along, she has to be with her mother or with her maids, what's wrong?
"Listen to me, Brother Xiaolou, at most seven days, there will be ground movements in the capital."
As a result, Lou Yi didn't have time to be complacent, and was startled by Xiao Ru's headless words - "Ground...... Earthquake? ”
