Chapter 5 Meeting on a Narrow Road
The four of them finished their dinner warmly, and when it got dark, the wind gradually blew outside the window, blowing the window sash and crackling there. After a while, a light rain began to fall. Deng Ke looked out the window bitterly, and he didn't want to go out to play in silence like this.
"Aunt Hua, I'...... Can ...... with Jing" Lamp Ke plucked up his courage while picking up the dishes on the table, and was about to say when Shizune hurriedly walked out of the back room.
"Mom, it's over, my pen is gone!" she said anxiously, and Deng Ke was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that the opportunity had come.
"You kid, why do you always lose everything! Forget it, you can find another one and use it first. Aunt Hua sighed grumblingly.
"No!" said in unison, they glanced at each other, and Mute continued:
"That's the pen my dad gave me, how could I lose it! Now I'm going to the school to look for it, maybe I'll be able to find it back." She walked out without saying a word.
"I'll go with you!" Lamp Ke chased out.
"Come back, let your dad come with you!" Aunt Hua shouted as Uncle Hua.
"Oh, they're all big kids, we don't have to follow everything, they'll be back in a moment. It's okay. Uncle Hua was very relieved to arrive, and he made himself a cup of tea unhurriedly.
"You're really. Oh, no, it's raining outside, and they don't even have umbrellas, so I have to send them to them. With that, Aunt Hua also chased out.
The two took the umbrella and listened to Aunt Hua's chatter a few more words, and then began to walk along the path towards the school. The rain was a bit heavier than just now, but the wind was much lighter. Listening to the sound of raindrops falling on the umbrella, Deng Ke felt that there was nothing more beautiful in the world. He turned his head to look at Mute, and a surge of sweetness welled up in his heart.
"It's not the right time for this rain!" muttered to the lamp, smiling silently.
"I was going to ask you out for a walk, but it was raining. But come to think of it, even if the wind is good, I will still go to school with you to find a pen. After saying this, he laughed, and Mute was silent.
"Do you think you'll be able to find your pen?" asked.
"I don't know, I guess I can. Mute said, looking ahead.
"I can!"
"Why?" Shizun turned to look at him in disbelief.
"Because I've got you covered. Deng Ke seriously said what he thought was a good reason. Shizune twisted her face to the side disdainfully.
"Mute, I have a secret to tell you, do you want to hear it?" said in a whisper, and the two of them walked together towards the fork in the road on the left. At this time, I met a person head-on, he was wearing a police uniform, and he laughed like a gorilla.
"Ahh He said horrified.
"It's me, young man, and you have a good memory. The director smiled, and the rain ran down his temples.
"Hello, Director. Deng Ke was a little scared, he said hello and walked forward quickly, hoping to get rid of the director quickly. But the director stopped him.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?" the director asked with concern.
"Her pen was left at school, so I went to help her find it. Deng Ke explained as he looked at Mute, hoping that the director would let them go quickly. Mute nodded politely to the director and smiled slightly.
"Oh, that's right. However, I also have something to do with you, can you come to the bureau with me first?" the director made a very sincere request.
"Looking for me?" it immediately occurred to Lamp Ke that this must have something to do with the note.
"Yes, so, this classmate, you go find the pen yourself. I'll send him to you after a while. The director turned his head again and said apologetically to Mute. Mute to see if the director didn't answer.
"Doom...... But it's getting late, Director, and it's time for you to get off work. Or I'll go to you tomorrow. "Lamp Ke didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be alone in silence.
"Little classmate, this matter is very urgent, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you in person. You just come with me, it won't delay you much, let's go. The director didn't give up, he grabbed the lamp Ke and walked forward.
"Wait!" Shizun shouted and ran over, "You go to the police station, don't you say no to your parents, let's go home and talk to them before we go." After speaking, she grabbed Deng Ke, and Deng Ke understood, and he desperately broke free from the director and turned around and ran away with Mute. The director refused to give up, and he was about to catch up, when a figure appeared in front of him.
"Giessen, what are you going to do?" the suppressed anger could be heard under the low brim of his hat.
"Nato, you've come just in time. The director was startled at first, and then seemed to be happy. He looked left and right at the wet empty alley, walked over to Nato and whispered.
"The Island King asked me to kill Legus, the Star Emissary is gone, and our order to protect Leguth has ended. So, you don't have to be with Legus every day. Also, if you want, we can join forces to kill him, and when it happens, the island king will definitely not be able to treat us badly. ”
Nato frowned and pondered for a long time, his long trench coat already drenched in a light rain.
"Is what you said true? is this an order from the island king?"
"Otherwise, what reason do you think I would want to kill Legus, who has been ordered to protect him all along?" said Director Giesen, who had to believe Nato.
"That's good!" said Nato, "if you believe it, leave it to me." He looked at Director Giessen and said.
Director Giessen's gaze lingered on Nato's eyes for 10 seconds, then he smiled and nodded.
"Mute, why don't we take a detour to school. When he was about to run to the door of the house, Deng Ke said unwillingly.
"No need. Shizune said as he stood in the doorway, "I've found it." She took out a pen from her pocket and shook it in front of the lamp, smiling happily.
"You ......" Lantern Ke was indescribably surprised.
"Are you back?" Aunt Hua hurriedly opened the door when she heard the movement.
"Ah, yes!" replied Mute and Lamp.
"Why didn't you come in quickly, did you find the pen, and why did you come back so soon?" asked Aunt Hua as she let them into the house.
"My pen didn't fall into school, it's always been in my pocket, I forgot. Aunt Hua just wanted to reproach a few words, but Shizun immediately continued. "We met a policeman on the way to school, and he was going to take Dengke to the police station, and we ran back in fear. Mute said and looked at Deng Ke, and at the same time turned the topic to Deng Ke.
"What! Why did he take you to the police station? What's the matter? Dengke, hurry up and make it clear to me!" Aunt Hua immediately became nervous when she heard this, and Uncle Hua was also alarmed.
"Dengke, who is going to take you to the police station? What, did you make a mistake?" Uncle Hua also became serious.
"Oops, the policeman, he recognized the wrong person. Actually, there's nothing! Don't think about it. I...... It's time to go back to bed, it's not too early. Goodbye!" Lamp Ke struggled perfunctorily, pushed open the door and walked towards his house.
