"Red Dragonfly, what's going on, say it quickly!" Hearing the three words of Red Dragonfly, Ruo Tan immediately became vigilant and urged impatiently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zichen smiled and said, "You are really anxious. He paused and continued: "In the days before you fell into the water, I saw the four brothers of Jiaji looking around to catch red dragonflies, and once Jiaru saw me and asked me to help catch them, but Jiaji stopped them, I was still wondering, what do they want red dragonflies for?"
"Later, I heard that the reason why you fell into the water was because of a red dragonfly, and I became suspicious, so I sneaked into Jiaji's room, and sure enough, I found the dried corpse of the remaining red dragonfly, and I was more and more sure that your falling into the water was related to the Ning Yan brothers and sisters, I deliberately let Jiaji find out that I went to his room to search, which meant to warn them that I already knew the truth, so that they were afraid to stop and no longer hurt you, but I didn't expect them to jump over the wall in a hurry, but instead framed me. ”
In fact, my eldest brother also suspected Ningyan, and just tripped and knocked me into the water, and when he rescued me, he happened to stab me in the middle of the water with a stick. ”
She asked curiously, "Since you were wronged, why didn't you cry out?"
Zichen smiled bitterly: "The only relatives I have in the world are my aunt's family, although she treats me badly, she still raised me, and let me follow Jiaji and them to study in school, how can I take revenge?"
Ruo Tan sighed and said, "But now they want to put you to death." ”
Zichen hurriedly argued: "That's just the idea of Brother and Sister Ningyan, my aunt is not like that." ”
Ruo Tan skipped this topic that made him sad, and continued to ask: "According to what you say, those red dragonflies are very likely to be put into that box by Qing Yan, but why don't you let Zhou Da Niang search it?
Zichen lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "There's a handkerchief in there...... It's your veil, I'm afraid that Aunt Zhou will misunderstand and think you're ...... with me I don't want your reputation to be tarnished. ”
"My veil, when did I give you a veil?" asked Ruo Tan in surprise.
Zichen slurred: "You forgot, you ...... when you were three years old."
After he mentioned it, Ruo Tan finally remembered that when he was three years old, he saw Zichen being beaten by the Jiaji brothers with a nosebleed, and he took a handkerchief to wipe the blood on his face for him, and he thought that the handkerchief was dirty, so he threw it away, but he didn't expect him to treasure it to this day!
He fell asleep and frowned together, Ruo Tan couldn't help but stretch out his hand to soothe it, but he couldn't calm it, so he had to give up, got up and picked a canna leaf and fanned it to repel mosquitoes.
It wasn't until there was a hint of whiteness in the sky that she woke him up.
Zichen was startled, and only when he found that it was not yet dawn did he put his mind at ease, and said: "I'll go to punish kneeling, you also hurry back, it's bad if someone finds out." As he spoke, he stood up by the trunk of the tree.
Ruo Chen said: "Don't worry. He picked up a piece of watermelon and tasted it himself, but it was not bad, and brought the melon to his mouth, saying, "Eat a piece of melon and kneel again, I don't know when the old lady let you go." ”
Zichen ate the melon with her hand, and was about to stand up again, Ruochen said again: "Don't worry." Reaching out to touch the black cloth that wrapped the watermelon on the ground, but he couldn't touch it, presumably it was lost, so he had to wipe the watermelon juice on his face with a red face and a belly pocket that wrapped the snacks, explaining: "You can't leave any clues." ”
Zichen looked at her delicate little face, and her faint breath lingered between her face and nose, making him feel strange, crispy and numb......
Ruochen put his hand down, looked at him with satisfaction, and said, "Okay." ”
Zichen stood up and staggered to where he had been kneeling before.
Ruochen hurriedly took the watermelon rind and the remaining watermelon in his belly pocket, threw them all into the lotus pond, and then returned the same way, entered the house through the window, lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
Yuhe woke up in the morning, picked up the clothes by the couch and looked habitually at the embroidery bed while wearing them.
Last night was her night on duty, if she kicked the quilt and caught a cold, Mrs. would not say anything, but it was difficult for the old lady to get through.
She was immediately stunned, how could the young lady's account be opened? She remembered that she had put down the tent last night.
Puzzled, she walked to the bedside and looked, her eyes were black, and she almost fainted.
The young lady lay on the bed on all fours, her clothes dirty as if she were rolling on the ground.
Yuhe turned around and first inserted the door bolt from the inside, and then rushed to the bed in three steps and two steps, and pushed Ruo Chen awake desperately.
Ruo Tan squinted at her with sleepy eyes, closed her eyes again, turned over, and muttered, "Good sister, let me sleep a little longer." ”
Yuhe was about to kneel for her, and begged: "Auntie, you are still sleeping, look at what is going on with you? If this is known by the lady and the old lady, the slave and maid will not have to live!"
Ruo Chen reluctantly opened his eyes a slit, looked at himself, and sat up with a sleepy spirit.
Yuhe saw that she was also frightened, and she was even more panicked, and said in a crying voice: "Miss, what did you do last night?"
What did I do? I climbed over the wall with a red apricot, but I can't tell you.
Ruo Tan said embarrassedly: "Yesterday I slept too long during the day, I couldn't sleep at night, I heard a bird outside the courtyard, I was curious, so I quietly went out, under the moonlight a green bird stopped on the stone table in the yard, I went to catch, it flew, but it didn't fly far, only flew a few steps and fell, and shouted at me, I went to catch it, it flew again...... In this way, I went out of the yard, and I fell many times along the way, and suddenly I found myself standing by the lotus pond, and the green bird was gone, and I was frightened, so I ran back, and fell several times, so it was like this. ”
Ruo Chen took Yuhe's hand and shook it, looking at her pitifully: "Sister, don't tell your mother." ”
Yuhe heard it in a cold sweat, the green bird should be a kingfisher, the legend is that the kingfisher is a water ghost, last night Miss was hooked by the water ghost, but she escaped again?
This is not a trivial matter, what if there is a second time, and the young lady is not so lucky? If she doesn't report it, she will cause a big disaster, and she will definitely be killed.
So she withdrew her hand and sternly refused: "No!"
