Chapter 22: Confinement
General's Mansion, Xue Ling'er's room. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info no one saw it, a figure flashed, and a person had already appeared in Xue Ling'er's room.
The man didn't linger long, put a letter on the table, and quietly departed, without attracting anyone's attention. Even the stone dust in the general's mansion didn't notice that someone had sneaked into the mansion at all.
The figure flashed out of the city, where a young girl was waiting for her.
"Ling'er, let's go. ”
"Yes, master. Xue Ling'er glanced back at Tianqin City a few more times, and then walked towards the distance with Mengxi.
It was Mengxi who sneaked into the General's Mansion just now and left a letter written by Xue Ling'er to Xue Hao. Mengxi was afraid that Xue Ling'er would regret it when she saw Xue Hao, so she didn't go with her, so she simply didn't let Xue Ling'er say goodbye to Xue Hao, but just left a letter and left quietly.
――――
Two days later.
Xue Hao was reading a book in the study, and suddenly heard a cry of "Wangwang" from outside the door, it was Xiaobai.
Xue Hao was strange, Xiaobai was very sensible, and he would not bother him when he was reading books and practicing martial arts.
Xue Hao walked out of the study, Xiaobai kept screaming, looking uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Xue Hao faintly felt a fluster.
"Wang!" Xiaobai ran to Xue Ling'er's room and motioned for Xue Hao to follow.
Xiaobai didn't see Xue Ling'er for two days in a row, and he didn't find Xue Linger's residence, and his low spiritual intelligence realized that something bad had happened to Xue Linger.
Xue Hao followed Xiaobai to the door of a room, which was lightly closed and not closed.
Xiaobai kept yelling at the door.
Who lives here? Since coming to the General's Mansion, Xue Hao has been busy cultivating and has not been to Xue Ling'er's room once.
"Hey, is anyone there?" Xue Hao asked, but no one answered, gently pushed open the door and walked in.
Scanning around the room, Xue Hao saw the letter on the table, and after just one glance, he recognized that it was Xue Ling'er's handwriting. Xue Hao hurriedly picked up the letterhead.
"Hao'er, when you read this letter, I was already gone. Sister is useless, I haven't taken care of you for so long. My sister worshiped a master and went to learn art with the master, my sister will definitely return from her studies and will never drag you back again. You have to take care of yourself and become a good witcher...... Also, take care of Xiaobai. My sister is with the master, she is a very powerful master, you don't have to worry. - Xue Ling'er"
After reading this letter, Xue Hao's mind went blank. After a long time, Xue Hao suddenly shouted: "Sister!" and then rushed out of the general's mansion like crazy.
Xue Hao left the General's Mansion, and he didn't know where to look. He ran to the small courtyard where they had lived in the slum before, and then to the teahouse, but he couldn't see Xue Ling'er at all. He searched for all the places the two had been before, but unfortunately found nothing.
Xiao Bai already understood what was going on, and followed Xue Hao through the streets and alleys of Tianqin City. Many people in the city saw this strange scene today: a young man shouted "sister" as he walked, and a little white dog followed him and barked.
Until dark, Xue Hao and Xiaobai dragged their tired bodies back to the General's Mansion.
Xue Hao's voice was hoarse, and he returned to his room and collapsed on the bed. Xue Ling'er is gone, I don't know where I went. Xue Hao realized that he had ignored Xue Ling'er after he came to the General's Mansion.
Xiaobai lay down in his comfortable kennel, and the food plate was the delicious food that the people had prepared for him today. Xiaobai is already hungry, but in the face of food, it has no appetite at all.
Xue Hao got up from the bed and came to Xue Ling'er's room. Looking at this small room with only one bed and one table, Xue Hao felt very uncomfortable, he had already found out that this was where the people lived.
took out the letter written by Xue Ling'er again, and Xue Hao saw that the date of the letter was two days ago. "Smack!" The crisp voice sounded, and Xue Hao gave himself a slap.
"Silly B! Xiaobai knows that my sister is gone, you don't even know! It's been two days, and you haven't found it!"
Xue Hao found Shi Chen, and everyone in the Shi family was having dinner at this time.
"Hao'er, where did you go? I didn't find you just now, come and eat." ”
He ran to Shichen angrily: "Why?"
Shi Chen wondered: "What did you say?"
Xue Hao roared: "Why? Why! You said that my sister is also a member of the Shi family, but why did you let her live in that kind of place!"
Shi Chen frowned: "Xue Hao! these are all your elders, how can you yell and scream? Shi Lei, you take him to the confinement room. ”
Shi Lei said respectfully: "Yes, grandpa." Thinking of the confinement room, Shi Lei shuddered.
"Cousin, let's go. ”
Xue Hao calmed down. Xue Ling'er has already left, and it won't help for him to make such a fuss. He followed Shi Lei to the confinement room in Shi Chen's mouth, he felt that he should indeed be confined, but not because he was disrespectful, but because he neglected Xue Ling'er!
After Xue Hao left, Shi Chen began to investigate what had happened. The matter is very simple, Xue Hao went out for a day today, and with Xue Ling'er's disappearance, the matter is obvious.
Shi Chen looked at Du Yun: "Xiao Yun, didn't I say that you should treat Xue Ling'er like our own family, how can you let her live there and still work?"
Du Yun explained: "Dad, Xue Ling'er is not from our Shi family after all, and we don't raise idlers in our house. The accommodation I arranged for her was much better than that of the other people, and the work was the easiest for one person. ”
Shi Chen was silent, even if he said that he would treat Xue Ling'er as a person from the Shi family, but in his heart, he couldn't treat her as a real person from the Shi family. Xue Ling'er's position in Xue Hao's heart, needless to say, everyone knows it.
"It's something we're not doing right. You say, I punished Hao'er for three days of confinement, is the punishment too heavy?" Shi Chen's eyes flashed with distress.
Shi Yi and Du Yun didn't dare to answer. Du Yun saw the distressed look in Shi Chen's eyes, and a sense of crisis emerged in his heart.
On the other side, Shi Lei took Xue Hao to a remote place in the backyard of the General's Mansion, where there was a staircase that extended below the ground.
Since he knew that he had misunderstood Xue Hao, Shi Lei's attitude towards him was much better: "Cousin, the Shi family dares to talk to grandpa like this." Do you want me to help you bring a message to grandpa, just say that you know that you are wrong, maybe the punishment will be lighter. ”
"No, I don't. Xue Hao said coldly, it was impossible for him to apologize to Shi Chen, he didn't blame Shi Chen for making Xue Ling'er feel wronged.
"Alas. Shi Lei was very helpless about Xue Hao's cold attitude, thinking that Xue Hao still had a grudge against him.
The staircase is very long, leading deep underground. At first, there are obvious signs of repair, and the next staircase is mossy and the surrounding walls are mottled, making it look like an underground passage that has existed for a long time.
This underground staircase doesn't look like it was built by the Shi family, it's more like it existed a long time ago, and the General's Mansion happened to be on top of it.
"It's here. ”
Xue Hao looked up and saw that there was nothing here, only a room surrounded by stones.
Xue Hao walked into the stone room, Shi Lei pulled down the door, and there was no light in an instant, and the stone room was pitch black.
This is the most terrifying part of the confinement room.
The stone door of the stone chamber has a mechanism and can only be opened outside. In this way, Xue Hao was locked up in a confinement room.
