Chapter 241: Encountering a Strange Old Man, I'm Worried
There was no sound in the peach grove except for the old man calling out to her, no wind or birds, and all the silence was terrible.
Satsuki hid in a thatched hut and kept doing psychological construction for herself.
I have been an atheist since I came here in the 21st century, so the old man in white I saw just now should not be a ghost.
Yes, this man is not a ghost, most likely a mentally ill person.
Thinking of this, Satsuki glanced inside the room, and she found that there was a whisk in the corner, and she held the whisk in her hand as a weapon for self-defense.
She hid behind the window and secretly watched the situation outside.
"Hey... It seems that no one likes me as an old man anymore. The old man in white looked at the waterhole and muttered to himself.
"Look at you, your face is full of wrinkles, why are you so ugly, no wonder you scared the handsome boys away. ”
"Actually, I know he's in the hut, but he doesn't want to see me, what should I do?"
Just as Satsuki was hesitating to go out, a familiar voice came from outside.
"Uncle Huang, what are you doing here?"
Yuan Chenhao's voice was a little softer than just now.
The old man in white said unhappily: "I met a handsome boy just now, but he actually ran away when he saw me." ”
"And then?"
The old man in white pointed to the thatched hut and said, "He's hiding in the house, it's just that, people don't want to see me, I'd better go." ”
Yuan Chenhao coaxed him, "It's okay, I'll ask someone to invite him out." He said to Xing Xiaoyu beside him, "You go in and see who's inside." ”
Xiao Yue knew that the old man in white was the emperor's uncle, but she was not so afraid.
At this time, Yuan Chenhao also appeared, instead of letting Xing Xiaoyu arrest herself, it was better for her to go out in a bright light, thinking of this, she threw away the dust in her hand and prepared to go out to reply.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the door, when she was about to open the door, a gray-clothed guy came outside.
"Lord Wang, the person has been brought, please send it down. ”
Xiao Yue saw a few gray-clothed men walking to the lake with a person through the crack in the door.
That person looked a little familiar, and Xiao Yue fixed his eyes to see that it was the little guy called Xiao Qi just now.
The old man in white changed again at this time, he looked at Xiao Qi very majestically, and asked in a loud voice: "Say, who taught you?"
Xiao Qi gritted his teeth, his head was sweating, and he said with difficulty: "No... No one taught me. ”
Xiao Yue saw that his clothes were a little torn, and there was still a little red on them, and she was afraid that she had been tortured, and her heart suddenly tightened.
"No one can unlock this Qingming lock, even here, no one can unlock the carpenter's master, you have only been here for a few days, how dare you say that this Qingming lock is unlocked by you. A man in gray said.
The old man in white saw that Xiao Qi's face was resolute, and he was afraid that he would not speak easily, so he said faintly, "This king is most annoying to those who are unfaithful to me, come here, since he is not willing to tell the truth, throw him into the water, let him sober up, so that he can recognize who is the master who rewards him with food." ”
"Yes!" the gray-clothed little guy dragged Xiao Qi towards the waterhole, but Xiao Qi never said a word.
Xiao Yue was a little reluctant, she pushed it away and walked out, shouting in her mouth: "Stop, let go of this child, I unlocked this Qingming lock." ”
The old man in white looked at her in surprise, while Yuan Chenhao beside him glared at her, as if blaming her for causing trouble.
Yuan Chenhao preemptively said: "Wen Yue, don't you still salute when you see the widow?"
Xiao Yue bowed her head and knelt down to salute, and said in her mouth: "Caomin Wenyue has seen Your Majesty and the prince. ”
"Well, get up and talk back. ”
"Yes. Satsuki slowly stood up.
The old man in white looked at Yuan Chenhao with deep meaning, and then said: "Who is this little boy? When you go to someone else's house, you have to look like a guest, and it's not good to run around." ”
Yuan Chenhao was about to help Xiao Yue explain, the old man in white waved his hand, and then said: "However, running around is a trivial matter, and lying is a big thing, come on, you tell the old man, do you like to run around and lie very much?"
Yuan Chenhao frowned when he heard this, and scolded: "Wen Yue, why are you stunned? You still hurry up and make amends to Uncle Huang!"
Although Xiao Yue was angry at this time, she thought that she had indeed run around and bumped into the old man in white, so she had to hold back her anger and kneel down again to make amends.
"Lord Wang, please forgive the grass people for being rude. ”
"Oh?" said Yuan Wangye, who seemed a little dissatisfied, "Is it just rudeness?
Xiao Yue lowered her head and said calmly: "The grass people are not lying, the Qingming lock is indeed what I taught Brother Xiaoqi to unlock, and when I taught him, let him promise not to tell that I taught him, so neither I nor him are liars." ”
Yuan Wang Ye smiled happily, "In this way, it's actually mine, okay, okay." He looked at Yuan Chenhao and said, "Chenhao, you are really getting more and more generous, and a hairy boy is so disobedient." ”
Yuan Chenhao's face was extremely ugly, and he scolded softly: "Wen Yue, you are getting more and more excessive! Don't think that you have a bit of talent, just think that you can commit the above crimes!"
Xiaoyue was full of grievances, and argued with reason, "The grass people really didn't lie, the prince's identity is so noble, and he must be more open-minded than ordinary people, so it's better for the prince to give me another Qingming lock, let me try to unlock it, and I will know if the grass people are lying." ”
Yuan Chenhao seemed to blame, but in fact he was helping her, so when he heard this, he immediately turned his head to Yuan Wang Ye and said, "Uncle Huang, this... ”
Yuan Wang Ye smiled and said: "This kid is handsome, but he is not a straw bag, he is so articulate, if you don't agree to let her try, then the prince will become the one who bullies." He turned to a gray-clothed guy beside him and said, "Xiaozhu, go get a Qingming lock that I made and try it for him." ”
The sky was a little darker, and the wind began to rise in the woods, so Yuan Chenhao helped Yuan Wangye into the grass hut to avoid the wind.
Xiao Yue and Xiao Qi knelt outside the room, waiting for the hair to fall.
Seeing that he had a sad face and some scars on his body, Xiao Yue said angrily and funny: "Didn't you go to receive the bounty?
Xiao Qi said sadly: "Childe, it's all my fault that I messed things up and caused you a burden." ”
"It's okay, tell me what's going on. ”
It turned out that Xiao Qi was a newcomer, and he was not familiar with many people and things in Qingming Garden, so he thought that he could receive a bounty by unlocking a Qingming lock.
As a result, Mr. Wu took a new Qingming lock and asked him to unlock it, and then asked him to put it back together, he was so nervous that he forgot how to put it together.
