Chapter 18: Illiterate

On Liu Yuan's side, Shen went back to the study after Xue Nuo and the others went out.

He flipped through the book in his hand, and his eyes fell on the dense words on it, but his mind had already drifted away.

Under the lampshade in the house, the candle crackled and the moon shadow could be seen through the window lattice, and the shadow of the tree shook when the wind blew through the occasional wind.

As if he was waiting for something, he pursed the corners of his mouth and rubbed his fingertips against the pages in his hand to be quiet.

"Boom."

There was a soft knock in front of the door, as if someone was walking quickly.

Shen was brought back to his senses by this movement, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Cheng coming in from outside the door.

Jiang Cheng was dressed in a strong suit, and there was some mud under his feet, so he spoke first when he came in: "Childe." ”

"How?" Shen asked.

Jiang Cheng said: "The subordinates have been following them just now, after Shi An and Xue Nuo went to the Guanyin Temple, Xue Nuo only talked to a few refugees in the temple for a while, and then packed up his things and came back, and he never went to other places on the way. ”

Shen asked, "But what's wrong?" ”

Jiang Cheng thought for a while: "Xue Nuo seems to have had an argument with one of the refugees in the Guanyin Temple and moved his hands and feet, but then he didn't fight. ”

Do it?

Shen was slightly puzzled for a moment before frowning, "Are there anything else?" ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head: "It's gone." ”

Before, he followed the carriage all the way and saw the two enter the Guanyin Temple with his own eyes.

Shi An stood by while he lay on the beam on the roof of the temple, and although it was dimly lit, it was enough to see that Xue Nuo had only spoken to a few ragged refugees in the temple, and had not touched anyone else.

Later, Shi An called Xue Nuo to leave, and he followed, until the carriage stopped in front of the Liuyuan Gate, he took the first step over the wall to return to Gongzi.

Shen fell silent after listening to Jiang Cheng's words, and he couldn't figure out for a while what he wanted to know by letting Jiang Cheng follow Xue Nuo.

"Childe ......"

Jiang Chengzheng wanted to ask Shen what he wanted to know, but before he could speak, he heard the sound of Shi An and Xue Nuo talking from outside the courtyard.

Shen couldn't help but look sideways out the window, and saw a child in a blue shirt in front of the courtyard walking backwards with his back to the inside.

She seemed to be holding something in her arms, her voice was crisp and tender when she spoke, and she didn't know what funny things she said, which made Shi An on the side laugh and reached out to pat him on the head.

Xue Nuo dodged with a short body, and then said that Shi An couldn't pat his head, otherwise he wouldn't grow taller in the future.

Shen retracted his gaze, and after a while, he heard the two of them arrive at the door, Shi An poked his head inside and shouted, "Childe." ”

"Come in."

Shi An led Xue Nuo in, with a smile on his face: "Childe, we're back." ”

Shen glanced at Xue Nuo's arms, and saw that what she was holding seemed to be clothes, and what was still wrapped in it, he opened his mouth and asked, "Have you taken all the things back?" ”

Xue Nuo nodded and said, "I took my sister's clothes back, and gave the rest to the aunt who took care of me and my sister before." ”

"Are you in trouble?" Shen asked.

Xue Nuo smiled with two pear vortices on his face: "With Brother Shi following me, no one dares to embarrass me, and my sister and I used to cover our faces, but now that they are cleaned, many of them don't know me." ”

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, and wrinkled the tip of her nose,

"But there is a thick-skinned man who borrowed something from me before and refused to return it, and when I went to him, he scolded me, so I taught him a lesson......"

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered that she was different from before, and Childe didn't seem to like her doing things with others, so she hurriedly explained again,

"I just kicked him and hit him, but I didn't hurt him, don't punish me."

Shen was originally a little suspicious when he heard Jiang Cheng say that Xue Nuo went to Guanyin Temple to have a dispute with someone, but at this time, seeing her explain urgently, she didn't have the slightest intention of concealing it, and the only remaining doubt in her heart was also dissipated.

It turned out that he was really suspicious.

When his heart relaxed, Shen raised his lips and said, "When did I say that I was going to punish you, or in your eyes, I am such an unreasonable person?" ”

Xue Nuo hurriedly shook his head wildly, and when he looked at him with the things in his arms, his eyes were moist like a puppy: "Childe is a good person." ”

Shen couldn't help but smile in his eyes when he heard her words, he only felt that the child was innocent in the end, how could the good and bad people in this world be so easy to distinguish, I was afraid that whoever gave her two steamed buns could say that she was a good person.

He smiled and said, "Since the things have been retrieved, let's move here at night." ”

Shen glanced at the clothes on her body that obviously didn't fit well, turned his head to Shi An and said, "Go buy two clothes for him tomorrow, and come back, as well as shoes." ”

"Huh?" Xue Nuo's eyes widened, as if he hadn't reacted.

Seeing her stupid appearance, Shi An couldn't help but smile and pushed her: "Ah what, that Rongjitang was originally a guest room, far away from where Gongzi lived, and Gongzi asked you to move here to promise to let you stay by your side in the future." ”

If she hadn't agreed to let her stay, where would she have moved in and bought clothes for her?

Xue Nuo suddenly smiled when he heard this, and his palm-sized face smiled like a bun: "Thank you, Childe!" ”

"Stay by my side on an errand in the future, you don't need to do anything else, just a little, you are not allowed to hurt people casually, and some things are the bottom line, and you are not allowed to do anything that is cheated and abducted, otherwise you will never be spared!" Shen warned.

Xue Nuo hurriedly said, "I know Childe!" ”

Shen opened the drawer in front of the desk, took out the things inside, and handed them to Xue Nuo.

Xue Nuo looked at the unfamiliar scabbard and was a little puzzled: "Childe? ”

"Open it and take a look."

After Xue Nuo took it, she pulled out the short knife inside, and when she saw the lines engraved on the knife dagger, she was instantly happy, and looked up at Shen Ke, and the joy in her eyes was almost irrepressible: "It was the knife that my sister gave me." ”

"This short knife is sharp and easy to hurt others and yourself, I asked someone to make a scabbard for you, do you understand what it means?" Shen asked her.

Xue Nuo held the knife in his hand, looking at Shen Ke's meaningful appearance, and felt a little funny in his heart.

How could she not understand what Shen Wei meant, this short knife was in her hand Shen saw that several people had been injured, he returned the short knife to her but gave her the scabbard and sealed the blade, not to persuade her not to easily kill in the future, but also to tell her to let her know how to restrain the edge and hide the blade in the sheath.

This is a good teacher, but it is a bit like Shen Zhongkang.

Xue Nuo hesitated, holding the short knife and did not speak.

Shen said: "Hidden, and introverted edge, wisdom watch, wisdom inside, hiding clumsiness is a smart person, understand?" ”

Xue Nuo shook his head blankly: "I don't understand." ”

Shen Ke: "......"

He suddenly remembered that this little Chitose was an illiterate person when he was young.

He couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Forget it, I'll teach you slowly in the future, anyway, you have to remember that this knife is hidden in the sheath and returned to you, so that you can protect yourself, not let you hurt others." ”

Xue Nuo sighed and nodded as if he didn't understand.
