The painter smiled and did not speak.

Luo Xuyan said: "Wake him up and sleep all day, I think the most energetic person in the whole shop is him at this time." ”

The painter answered, walked over and gently pushed Cui Jingshi's shoulder, "Ah Ba wake up, Miss Ah Yan called you." ”

Cui Jingshi hugged the pillow tighter, humming and chirping in his mouth for a long time, but he refused to get up.

Luo Xuyan walked over and slapped him on the shoulder, "Ah Ba, get up, otherwise there will be no sweet pastries for you to eat." ”

Saying this, Cui Jing jumped up from the bed at the right time and said, "No, I want to eat snacks!" ”

"If you work hard, I'll give you a snack that you can't finish." Luo Xuyan said.

Cui Jingshi asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Luo Xuyan said: "Tonight, I will send you to continue to guard outside the mourning hall." ”

"Are you going?" Cui Jingshi asked.

Luo Xuyan said with a tiger face: "I have almost no rest today, do you still want me to stay up late?" ”

Sure enough, Cui Jingshi was so "frightened" by her that she shrunk her shoulders.

She almost laughed, and continued with a straight face: "So, you idler has to do something." ”

Cui Jing let out a stupid "oh".

Tonight, Qian Dawu was on duty in the mourning hall, and she was very relieved, so she asked Zhiyue to send people to the mourning hall, and she went back to the house to rest.

Cui Jingshi followed behind Hou Yue, falling a distance of about five or six steps, avoiding the light emitted by the lantern in Yu Yue's hand, and letting his face hide in the darkness.

Waiting for the moon to talk to herself, waiting for Cui Jing to be with herself, but after waiting, she didn't hear a voice, looked back, and asked puzzledly: "Ah Ba, why are you so far away from me?" ”

Cui Jingshi hurried up and said with a smile: "I saw a firefly." ”

"Where?" Wait for the moon to look around.

Cui Jing said: "Ran away." ”

Waiting for the moon to cry and laugh, continue to walk forward.

Cui Jingshi followed two steps, and then slowly pulled away again, making his face look blurry in the hazy moonlight.

After a short time, the two came to the courtyard where the mourning hall was located.

Cui Jingshi rubbed at the door for a while, and looked at the people in the courtyard by the light under the corridor, but did not find the familiar figure.

Where did that person go?

He frowned, heard Zhiyue shouting to himself, thought about it, crossed the threshold, and came to Zhiyue and Qian Dawu's side with his head slightly down.

Waiting for Yue said: "Brother Wu, Miss Ayan has ordered, let Ah Ba follow you tonight, it is not easy to doze off with someone." ”

"Okay." Qian Dawu took Cui Jingshi's hand and asked him to sit down beside him.

Zhiyue said: "Brother Wu, I'll go back to serve Miss first." ”

After the moon left, Cui Jingshi secretly looked at the mourning hall, tonight it was Zeng Xia's wife Ma Shi with a few concubines to keep vigil, these women and Zeng Tingshi are not too familiar with each other, so when the night is deeper and quiet, they can't help but doze off a little, but they can't sleep during the vigil, so they start chatting quietly.

Except for the occasional maid walking around, there was no other figure in the yard.

But Cui Jingshi did not relax, vigilantly watching the movements around him.

He is now like a rabbit in a wolf's den, and he can't let the hungry wolf find out his tracks.

Cui Jingshi knew that he would never let that person find out that he was in the Zeng family, even if that person would not do anything to him.

Qian Dawu beside him was a little sleepy, his eyelids kept fighting, and when he almost fell asleep again, he grabbed the big teapot next to him and poured a strong cup of tea into his mouth.

"Ahba?" When he put down the teapot, he saw Cui Jing in good spirits, his eyes were as wide as a copper bell, and he said in surprise: "You don't sleep?" ”

Cui Jing said: "Well......"

Qian Dawu rubbed his eyes and sighed, "It's so good." ”

Cui Jingshi blinked at him, "Brother Wu, are you sleepy?" ”

Qian Dawu didn't hide it from him, "It's a little bit, but it's over." As he spoke, he yawned and smiled embarrassedly at Cui Jingshi.

Cui Jingshi also smiled at him, revealing a silly air.

After Qian Dawu drank strong tea, his spirit was better, but the ladies in the mourning hall began to be unable to hold on, and they were a little crooked.

Just when everyone in the house was in a daze, a wisp of black smoke drifted out of the door, accompanied by an unpleasant smell, Cui Jingshi immediately noticed it, he looked at the mourning hall, and seemed to see a fire flickering.

"It's out of the water!" He jumped up and screamed.

Qian Dawu, who was in a daze, was awakened by his cannon-like screams, and almost fell off the stool.

"What, what's going on?"

Cui Jingshi grabbed Qian Dawu's arm, pointed to the mourning hall, and shouted: "Brother Dawu, it's gone!" ”

Qian Dawu looked in the direction of his finger, and his eyes widened instantly, and at the same time, a woman's scream sounded in the mourning hall, the figure on the ground in front of the door shook, and several women and maids ran out in a panic.

When Ma crossed the threshold, he panicked for a while, and was tripped up, and fell to the ground with an "ouch" sound, and the maid who followed her didn't have time to stop his feet, and was tripped by her legs and feet, and then fell on her body.

The fire in the mourning hall was even stronger, and black smoke billowed out, indicating that the fire was expanding.

Qian Dawu hurriedly jumped up, shouted loudly, "Go to the water", and rushed to the door of the mourning hall, picked up the maid and Ma, and asked them to move away quickly, and then he looked into the mourning hall, his face changed greatly, and ordered the people who rushed over to fetch water to extinguish the fire.

"Brother Wu, no, there's no water in the tank!"

Qian Dawu was stunned, "How can there be no water?!" ”

Because incense sticks and paper money would be burned in the mourning hall day and night, Miss Ah Yan asked people to arrange a few water tanks in the courtyard on the first day of coming to Zeng's house to prevent accidents.

The subordinate shouted helplessly: "It's just that there is no water, don't believe Brother Wu, you can see for yourself!" ”

Qian Dawu rushed to the nearest water tank, and when he looked inside, it should have been a full tank of water, but now there was only a shallow layer at the bottom of the tank.

He swallowed hard, "Quick, find the nearest tank or well!" ”

The family scattered again in search of water.

Qian Dawu dragged the two of them, and when he called Cui Jing again, "Ah Ba, there are two of you, come in with me!" As the fire grows, let's take the coffin out of Thorn Shi first! ”

Cui Jingshi pretended to be scared and took two steps back.

There was a commotion in the surrounding courtyards, and soon, more people would be attracted to it.

That person will be among them, right?

He couldn't stand under everyone's gaze without disguise.

"I'm not going......," he cried out, "I'm afraid!" ”

Qian Dawu couldn't wait, arrested the others, and several people rushed into the house to carry the coffin, regardless of the fire.

Soon, more people poured into the courtyard, they all came in a hurry, they didn't have time to put on their clothes, looking at the blazing mourning hall, their hearts were pinched.

Cui Jingshi stood in the dark, saw a familiar figure in the crowd again, and couldn't help clenching his fists.
