CHAPTER IX
In the middle of the night, Xia Tongchen was woken up by kicking the quilt, she opened her eyes in a daze and found that the window was not closed, and her eyes shifted to An Yue on the soft couch, and found that she was meditating cross-legged to heal her injuries.
The heroine has always been very vigilant, and she doesn't want to show her vulnerable side in front of anyone, and it is very in line with her style of doing things to heal when she falls asleep.
She silently pulled the covers on and fell asleep again.
When she woke up the next day, she found that An Yue had already left. Her injuries should have healed almost. However, she seems to have left something behind.
Xia Tongchen found an extra box in her room that didn't belong to her in a pile of clothes An Yue had changed.
The box was about the size of one of her hands, and the boxy wooden box was carved with exquisite and intricate patterns, and the word "Jiang's" was engraved on one corner of the box, which looked quite old. When I opened the box, I saw a white bead that radiated a lustrous glow. Xia Tongchen picked it up and looked left and right, is this the legendary night pearl?
This egg-sized night pearl is worth a lot of money, to say the least, right? Wouldn't this be a thank you gift from An Yue?
Oops, how embarrassed does this make her~ It's so polite! Follow the heroine, sure enough, there is meat to eat!
But compared to this night pearl, she didn't know why she seemed to prefer this inconspicuous box, Xia Tongchen put the box away and called the maids in.
Started her day as a landlord and enjoyed a one-stop breakfast service. She slouched on the table, playing with her hair, and it was another boring day.
"What happened last night?" Xia Tongchen asked casually
"Back to Miss, a thief broke into the house last night and stole the things in the house." Xia Tongchen let Qingfeng recuperate, and it was Mingyue who answered her question
"Oh? Did the thief ever catch him? "An Yue should have escaped, right? Unless it's the male protagonist, ordinary people can't catch her.
"Never"
"What's missing? Have you found out? ”
"The housekeeper has counted, except for the loss of a night pearl in the compensation sent by the Zhu Mansion, there are no other items lost in the mansion."
"Oh" just throw it away, it's not hers anyway. When Yan Heng takes a fancy to An Yue, let alone losing a thing, the entire mansion is hers.
But the Zhu family actually came to give an apology? Also sent a night pearl? What a bloody investment! Yesterday, looking at the fat man's performance, she thought that his backstage was so hard that even Yan Heng was not afraid!
"His Royal Highness the Fifth has asked the Zhu family to send all the things to Miss's yard" Mingyue handed her a piece of paper, "This is the list, please take a look at Miss"
"......" Xia Tongchen spat out the old blood, and in the end, what was lost was actually her thing? I really know how to pick, and I will pick the most valuable one when I pick it!
Speaking of Night Pearl, why did she feel so familiar? Could it be the one she picked up this morning? So, it wasn't a thank you gift from An Yue to her at all, but she simply forgot to take it?
Okay, so is this night pearl counted as An Yue's or hers?
Xia Tongchen thought about it, she still gave it to An Yue! An Yue belongs to the largest killer organization in the rivers and lakes, Ying, and she can't do anything by herself, and stealing things this time should be one of her tasks. If she doesn't take the Night Pearl back, the task will not be completed, and the consequences of not completing the task in "Shadow" are extremely serious. She also wants to hug the heroine's thighs, marry Bai Fumei, and go to the peak of her life! However, she took the box first.
"Mingyue bring me paper and pen!" Xia Tongchen suddenly remembered that after he came to this world, he didn't seem to have written down the plot he could remember on paper, after all, a good memory is better than a bad pen. A few days ago, I couldn't write because I was sick, but then I was able to get out of bed, and I just thought about how to go out and have fun, and I completely forgot about it.

After An Yue escaped from the General's Mansion, she went straight back to her temporary residence, and her internal injuries were already healed. But there were still a few wounds on her body that had not been treated, so she took out the medicine box and skillfully bandaged the wounds for herself.
There was a slight sound outside the window suddenly, An Yue was secretly vigilant in her heart, but she didn't hurry to tie her clothes, "Come out, Yin." I know you're here."
"I haven't seen you for a few days, but I've improved a lot" A man in a black power suit suddenly hung upside down on the beam, his hands crossed over his chest, "but so what? Wasn't he injured by Yan Heng? ”
"If you just come here to talk about the wind and cool things, you won't send it when you go out and turn left."
"Yo, not in a good mood? Is this a miss? ”
"Get out!"
"Tsk, it's so angry!" Yin got down from the beam of the house, stood in front of An Yue, and suddenly said, "I won't tease you, I have something to do with you." Come with me, Lord, looking for you. ”
"You've got everything, right?" Silver asked, leading the way in front
An Yue doesn't want to pay attention to him, what does this matter to him? Naturally, she got it, and the thing was on her. Thinking of this, she subconsciously touched her chest, and she was horrified to find that her chest was empty. Recalling carefully, she seemed to have left her things in Xia Tongchen's room when she was changing into her clothes.
From the moment she decided to step into the General's Mansion, she seemed to be constantly making mistakes. When things are in the Zhu Mansion, she should start! Although Yang Ping and Aunt Fang in Zhu's Mansion are not fuel-efficient lamps, it is better than facing Yan Heng. Even if you want to steal it in the General's Mansion, you shouldn't steal it when Yan Heng is there. It was also her carelessness to underestimate the enemy, she didn't expect Yan Heng's martial arts to be above her. I didn't expect to meet Xia Tongchen, the woman who looked exactly like her.
They look so alike, could they be biological sisters?
She didn't know that she couldn't recall much about her childhood memories. To this day, I only remember one picture, a person who couldn't see his face clearly said to her, "Hold on for a while, and our family can be reunited!" She still remembers her excitement and anticipation when she heard the news.
"Dark Moon? What are you thinking? "Yin shook her hand in front of An Yue's eyes, trying to get her back to her senses.
"Huh?" An Yue came back to her senses and found that she had arrived at her destination at some point
"You've made a big mistake as a killer," Yin said with a fixed look at her
"I'm in" An Yue nodded casually, smiling bitterly in her heart, how could she not know? She has been wandering since she met Xia Tongchen, family, what a distant and unfamiliar word.
Because of that memory, she has always believed that she is not an orphan, and her family must still be in this world, but they are separated. Over the years, she has actually been quietly inquiring about her family. However, she was too young at the beginning, and she only remembered that sentence, and there were no other clues, so there was no progress on this matter at all. Just when she was about to give up, Xia Tongchen appeared in front of her like a life-saving straw.
"Knock knock" An Yue knocked on the door gently
"Come in," a cold and majestic voice came from inside the room
She took a deep breath, gathered her emotions a little, pushed the door open, and walked inside. "Bang!" Once she was fully inside, the door closed with a loud noise.
"See the Lord," An Yue bowed her head and half-knelt on the ground
"What do I want?"
"If you go back to the Lord, you will be taken back by Yan Heng"
"Bang!" A sudden strong air flow slammed An Yue into the pillar behind her, and the pillar was smashed into a depression by the huge impact, and she couldn't help but cough up a few mouthfuls of blood.
"The subordinates are not doing well, and they are willing to be punished" An Yue didn't care to check the injuries on his body, and knelt down again, neither humble nor arrogant, "The Lord is merciful, please give the Lord another chance to atone for his subordinates."
"Hmph" The man who was called the Lord snorted lightly, took a few sips of wine slowly, and did not speak.
I don't know how long he was silent before he spoke slowly, "When I went to the General's Mansion this time, did you encounter any strange people or things?" ”
"No, after being discovered by Yan Heng, his subordinates fled for their lives. I didn't encounter any strange people or things on the way" An Yue felt a little weird in her heart, and subconsciously chose to lie.
"Lonely, I'll give you another chance. Grace you for five days, and bring you what you want."
"The subordinates will not fail in their mission!"
"If you don't complete the task on time, you should still be punished. But if you still have to take things for Gu, you go and get five lashes first. After getting the things back, come and make up the remaining five lashes. If you still can't get anything, come to me! They don't raise idlers, and if they can't get anything, there's no point in keeping it.
"Yes"
"Let's go down!"
"Yes"
Looking at An Yue's departing back, the face of the man known as the Lord was hidden in the gloom, playing with the wine cup in his hand, and smiling mysteriously, "Don't worry, you will be able to see your twin sisters soon"
==
It took Xia Tongchen half a day to finally write the plot she knew on the draft, she wrote it in Chinese, but she was not worried about being seen by people in this world, anyway, she couldn't understand it. Her only concern was, what if she accidentally lost these things? What to do if you get wet? What should I do if I get stolen? She can't guarantee that after a while, she will be able to write all the plots in such detail.
For the rest of the day, she wandered around the garden in the General's Mansion without a single flower, thinking about how to hide these drafts. In the end, she decided to find a place to bury them first, and then dig them up and take them away when she got out of here.
So she took a shovel and some flower seeds and returned to the garden under the pretext that she wanted to plant flowers, and dismissed the maids who had followed. I found a big tree that could probably be surrounded by two people, and began to dig the soil to prepare for burial. The draft used to hold the plot is the box that An Yue dropped this morning, although this box is exquisitely made, she likes it tight. It's worthless compared to the night pearl, An Yue takes the beads, she takes the box, perfect!
As for why she took this box and buried it with the draft, hey, isn't she afraid of being discovered by Mingyue and them? Mingyue is her personal maid, and Miss Xia didn't bring a few things here, she has more and less than anything, Mingyue and they have a number in their hearts...... Well, she admitted, she was worried that An Yue also wanted the box. If An Yue said that she wanted both the night pearl and the box, she knew that she would not refuse if she wanted to hug her thighs.
But there is always a voice in my heart that has been clamoring to like it, if you want it, you want it! She couldn't help it, she had to bury things anyway, so she buried them together.
I don't know how long it took, Xia Tongchen slowly straightened up his sore waist and clapped his hands, "It's finally done!" ”
In order not to be discovered, she deliberately dug very deep, and when she was done, she covered it with the dead leaves that had just fallen next to her, and she turned around to find a reason to ask the people in the house not to clean this place first.
Xia Tongchen wiped his sweat, and was about to leave when there was a sudden sound of a sigh of soot from among the grass beside the wall. She took a few steps back vigilantly, ready to shout for help.
