Chapter Forty-Eight: Three Children, One Play (Second Watch)
Edamame escaped from the yard, quickly climbed over a fence, and rested in the yard for a while, feeling more and more confused, Edamame understood that he had used too much ghost power just now, and the injury was too serious, and now he could no longer control this body. So, he hurriedly cheered up and quickly moved towards the south of the city.
Cemetery, if there is a cemetery, there is a soul, and only with a soul can you restore your ghost power. "Soul energy is the root of ghost power, absorb enough soul energy, you can save your child." The old voice sounded in Edamame's head again. Edamame gritted his teeth and struggled to suppress another restless soul in his body.
However, in the end, it still failed to support the cemetery. When Edamame noticed that his eyelids were getting heavier and his consciousness was getting more and more blurred, he forced himself into a straw stack and immediately fell into a deep sleep.
After about half an hour, Edamame opened his eyes and looked around with a puzzled expression.
"How am I in the haystack? Haha, that's funny. Edamame laughed heartlessly, and then crawled out of the haystack three times and two times.
Edamame stood in place and looked left and right, and found that there was a cemetery not far away, so he immediately pursed his mouth, looked back at the sky, and found that the sun was about to set, and his heart was even more furious.
However, when he raised his feet to leave, he didn't know where to go.
Go home?
Which home to go back to?
The first thing that came to mind was Li You's mansion. Because of the good food and good accommodation there, and Grandma Li, who felt sorry for her, gave him a cage for Grandpa Tian. Occasionally, Li You would teach him to read and write, and Wang Miao would also play with him.
However, Li You and them are not his relatives, just some well-wishers, or his friends.
The place where my grandparents live is my real home. However, the grandparents' home was cold and broken, there was no good food, and they still relied on the gloomy cemetery. The last time I went, I felt like I had encountered something strange, but this time, even though it was very close, Edamame still didn't want to go back.
Forget it, let's go eat something delicious.
Thinking of this, Edamame ran quickly towards the north of the city.
It's getting dark, and if you don't run fast, you won't be able to make it to dinner.
………
Li You sat in front of the bookcase, wanting to carefully sort out the details of the Miao family's case of one death and three lives and the ghoul case, but as soon as he concentrated his mind, he was interrupted by laughter in the main hall. After several times in a row, Li You chose to give up and decided to see what was so funny.
Li You came to the main hall and saw Li Tian, Chun Tao, Wang Miao, and Liu Ya, who were surrounding Tian Xiao in the middle. Tian Xiao wrapped his apron and kneaded a ball of dough hard.
"Uncle Tian, it's not okay yet." Wang Miao urged.
"Nope."
"Uncle Tian, are you okay?" Willow buds urge.
"Nope."
"Lao Tian, why are you so slow." Spring peach urges.
Tian Xiao didn't bother to answer.
"Big brother, will you?" Li Tian looked suspicious.
Tian Xiao didn't know how to answer.
"Uncle Tian, I'm so hungry." Wang Miao urged again.
"Hungry."
"Uncle Tian, I'm hungry too." Willow buds also urge.
"It's almost there."
"Lao Tian, can you still eat it today..."
"Yes, big brother..."
"Ahh Yes! Yes! "Tian Xiao finally can't stand it anymore." Quarrel to death, let you quarrel to death. ”
"Haha." "Haha." The crowd burst into laughter.
When Li You saw this scene, he was speechless. What's so funny about that!
"Uncle Tian, I'm dying of hunger!"
After everyone paused for a moment, Wang Miao started again.
"Uncle Tian, people are dying of hunger." Liu Ya looked at Wang Miao and showed a wicked smile.
"Lao Tian... Ha ha. Chun Tao couldn't help it this time, and laughed without urging it.
"Haha, Aunt Tao lost."
"Haha, Chun Tao is you losing again."
"You're not done." Tian Xiao was helpless, and Li You, who was standing on the sidelines and watching, was even more speechless. It's such a boring game, it can make them laugh for a long time, how boring they are!
"Uncle Tian, you're so slow." Just when Li You wanted to go over, Wang Miao started again.
"Uncle Tian, really..."
"That's it!" Tian Xiao stopped, stretched out his hand to grab a piece of noodles, and slowly pulled outward. This side was rubbed by Tian Xiao for a long time, and it was full of strength, and it was not broken for a long time.
Wang Miao and Liu Ya's eyes widened, and their saliva was about to flow down. "It's done, it's done, it's really done." The two cheered.
"Really?" Chun Tao and Li Tian were also overjoyed, and Li You's mind immediately flooded with oily gluten texture and spicy taste, and saliva immediately poured out. It's been almost three years, and it's really been a long time since I've eaten this bite!
"It's done! It's done! Li You hurriedly ran over.
Everyone else showed disgusted expressions, after all, Li You had been hiding in the study all the time and had not participated in the production process at all. Although others are just complaining about Tian Xiao, just like the attitude of the person who got on the bus first to the person who got on the car later, it was first rejection and disgust, and then it was slowly accepted.
"Hehe, Uncle Tian, you are amazing." Li You first curryed favor with Tian Xiao. "You didn't believe Uncle Tian just now, you really have no vision! Look at me, I have always believed in Uncle Tian. ”
"Haha, thank you for your trust." Tian Xiao smiled and blossomed. "The next step is to ramen and boiled noodles. Who's going to the kitchen with me? ”
"Me!"
"Me!"
Wang Miao and Liu Ya ran out first, and Li You was also interested and ran out. Tian Xiao hugged the basin and followed behind with a smile.
Moments later, bowls of steaming ramen were out of the pot! Everyone sat at the table and looked at Tian Xiao with blank eyes, Tian Xiao pretended not to understand.
"Uncle Tian!" "Lao Tian!" "Big brother!"
Everyone called in unison, Tian Xiao first set up the shelf for a while, and finally reached out and took out another basin from under the table, and opened the lid mysteriously.
The fiery red oil and water, the minced meat, and the aroma of mutton bone soup!
"Wow!" "Oh my God!" "Uncle Tian is so good!"
The crowd cheered again.
Hot noodles, splashed with red chili peppers, fried fragrant diced meat, and lamb bone soup that has been boiled overnight!
Fragrant! Hot! Refreshing!
The six of them were about to eat when a small child jumped in from outside. "It smells so good! It smells so good! Delicious! ”
Everyone looked up and immediately laughed.
Edamame, which disappeared for more than ten days, finally reappeared.
"Little one, you're still willing to come back."
"The most blessed thing about this should be edamame."
"Come on! Come on! ”
Edamame laughed heartlessly.
Eat!
The family chirped and ate.
"Ah, it's spicy." While eating, Liu Ya stuck out her tongue and kept fanning with her hands.
"I don't have enough spicy in this bowl, why don't you eat my bowl?" Wang Miao hurriedly curried favor.
"No, it's delicious, it's enjoyable." Liu Ya shook her head and continued to eat.
"Spicy, ah, ah, so fragrant, delicious." The edamame was so spicy that he was sweating profusely, but he still kept picking it in his mouth.
"Uncle Tian, good craftsmanship! Good craftsmanship! Ha, it's spicy! While Li You was eating, he gave a thumbs up to Okita Takashi.
"Haha." Tian Xiao laughed.
"I still want it, I want it." After Liu Ya finished eating a bowl, she looked at Tian Xiao with a blank eye.
"Oh, such a little girl, how can she eat so much, who can raise it." Tian Xiao made a joke about Liu Ya.
"I raise! I raise! Wang Miao hurriedly replied.
"Brother Miao'er, you are so good!" Liu Ya smiled sweetly at Wang Miao.
"Then you go for ramen." Tian Xiao teased Wang Miao.
"Ah, Uncle Tian!" Wang Miao looked at Tian Xiao with a sad face.
"I want it too." I even finished eating the edamame. "Grandpa Tian, I want to eat again."
"Haha, good, good." Tian Xiaole walked to the kitchen. "Somebody's going to help me with the noodles."
"Me!" "Me!"
Liu Ya and Wang Miao ran out one after another.
Li You looked at the backs of the two, and couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in his heart. This time, the opponent is too strong, and the clues he can obtain are very limited, Li You is worried about whether he can solve the case, and he is worried that even if he finds out the black hand behind it, he will be helpless because the opponent is too strong.
"Uncle Li, what are you thinking?" Just when Li You was thinking about it, Edamame suddenly leaned over.
Li You picked up the edamame and put it on his lap. "Uncle is thinking about how to catch the bad guys."
"Catch the bad guys?"
"That's right."
"What bad guys?" Edamame asked with a milky voice.
"Well, my uncle is afraid that it will scare you when he says it."
"No, no, edamame wants to hear it, I want to hear it." Edamame hugged Li You's neck with both hands, pouted, and kept begging. "Edamame likes to hear stories about catching bad guys."
"It would be nice if it were a story." Li You couldn't help but sigh. "Edamame, when you grow up, uncle will tell you again."
"Don't!" Edamame hugged Li You's neck and didn't let go. "If you don't talk about it, I won't let it go."
"Okay." Li You chose to give up. After all, I was also panicked in my heart, and I had the right to coax a child. "An old woman's family has three children, two boys, a girl, two boys on the dock fighting big bags..."
"Carry a big bag!" Edamame suddenly had a sharp voice, and looked at Li You with wide eyes. Li You was shocked, and looked at Edamame in disbelief, and Edamame immediately lowered his head. "What's it to carry a big bag?" Edamame asked with a milky voice.
Li You was sure that the voice just now was sharp and resentful, it seemed to be a woman's voice, like a black shadow. Not bad! The black shadow residing in Zhao Wu's body in the illusion was this kind of sharp, resentful voice.
Edamame!
Li You was taken aback by this idea.
"Uncle, what's it to carry a big bag?" Seeing that Li You had not spoken, Edamame asked Li You again.
"Carrying a big bag is helping people carry goods on the dock." Li You explained, while deliberately paying attention to the changes in edamame. "Two years, oh no, it should have been almost three years ago, the old woman's two sons drowned while carrying a big bag for someone, and her daughter drowned two years ago. This time, three people died! ”
Li You deliberately made an exaggerated expression, but although Edamame listened attentively, he did not make a more abnormal performance.
Li You paused for a moment and then continued. "My uncle suspected that they were killed, and Granny Miao also said that her child was killed."
Li You stopped again at this point, but Edamame still didn't have any special reaction, so Li You continued to tell. "Uncle hid Granny Miao and is now helping her catch those bad guys."
"Uncle is amazing!" Edamame gave Li You a thumbs up.
"That's my uncle's job!" After Li You said this, he looked at the edamame with a smile.
"Well, uncle is really a Qing official!"
"Noodles."
Wang Miao and Liu Ya each carried two large bowls of noodles and walked in from outside.
"Let's go eat noodles." Li You touched Edamame's head, and Edamame nodded vigorously at Li You.
Li You looked at the back of edamame, and his mood was extremely complicated.
Li You's words just now are full of pitfalls. deliberately emphasized that three people died, deliberately mentioned Granny Miao, and deliberately mentioned that he hid Granny Miao, but Edamame did not behave abnormally. That's the problem in itself!
The child would at least be surprised to hear that three people had been killed, but Edamame didn't react just now. When Granny Miao is mentioned for the first time, Edamame does not ask who Granny Miao is, which is also inconsistent with Edamame's initial curiosity. And when he finally said "where the duty lies", he was able to understand it, and praised himself as a clean official.
These are not the performances that a seven or eight-year-old child should have! It's an adult who deliberately controls his emotions and deliberately shows an illusion after he finds out that he is exposed!
Soybean!
What have you experienced in the past ten days? Who are you after all?
