Chapter Forty-Six: The Thief Who Stole the Cubs
There is only one possibility.
That is, someone stole the white deer cub.
Zhu Xiaozhu's little face tightened, her eyes fell on the twenty or so children present, and she suddenly spoke: "If you are worried that it is too late and it is not safe to go back, you can rest in the manor for one night, but no matter what, the white deer cub must be found!" ”
In the corner, the eyebrows of the boy with a cinnabar mole in the center of his eyebrows sank sharply.
Zhu Xiaozhu instructed the wind to take people to all corners of the manor to search for the white deer cubs, and at the same time prepared all kinds of food for these little masters and young ladies to dinner.
After playing all day, everyone was very tired and complained one by one.
Zhu Xiaozhu turned a deaf ear and resolutely refused to let everyone leave.
She stared closely at the expressions of each child in the room, and suddenly noticed that one of the children had a particularly strange reaction.
He seemed nervous, looking left and right.
If memory serves, he should be the youngest son of King Jingbei's family.
Next to him, sat his half-brother.
Zhu Xiaozhu quietly approached the child and took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, where do you think the white deer cub will be?" ”
This group of children is not yet fully mature, because it is normal to make mistakes on the spur of the moment.
If he is willing to take the initiative to confess, he can also pretend that nothing happened.
Hearing someone talking, Yan Juetang raised his head violently, and the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows was dazzling.
He stared sideways at the little milk doll in front of him expressionlessly, the corners of his lips pursed into a straight line, and he was obviously nervous: "I don't know." ”
This reaction...... Zhu Xiaozhu is even more sure that this little prince of the Jing'an royal family must have secretly done something unknown!
But how can he admit it and take the initiative to return the white deer cub to the white deer mother?
Zhu Xiaozhu made a difficulty.
However, the restless children have begun to find all kinds of faults.
Seeing that Zhu Xiaozhu took the initiative to talk to Yan Juetang, Zhao Yuyan, the little lady of the Hou family, snorted coldly and muttered in a low voice: "Why is he here, it's really unlucky!" ”
The others were silent, but looking at Yan Juetang's gaze, they were all full of contempt and contempt.
Someone suddenly sneered and said loudly: "So he is also here!" I know how the white deer cub was lost! He must have stolen it! He used to be at home, and his hands were not clean! ”
These words seemed to hit Yan Juetang's pain point all of a sudden, he stood up violently, clenched his fists tightly, and opened his mouth to refute something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Zhu Xiaozhu carefully observed his micro-expression, and suddenly made a difficulty.
If the fawn cub was really stolen by him, he would never admit it again if he had a history of stealing, which would undoubtedly confirm his reputation as a thief.
But apart from him, the others behaved normally.
What should I do?
Zhu Xiaozhu felt that her little head didn't seem to be enough.
At this time, Yan Juetang's brother spoke: "The previous things were all misunderstandings, don't slander my brother!" As for the white deer cub, it may be that there are too many people, and he is so scared that he hides himself, if you let us go, maybe he will go back by himself. ”
He is not very old, three or two years older than Yan Juetang, but he is already very tall.
He straightened up and stared at Zhu Xiaozhu with a sense of oppression, as if he was threatening.
Zhu Xiaozhu was not afraid of this, she looked up at Yan Juetang's brother, and then at Yan Juetang with a panicked expression, and suddenly said softly: "Then let's play a game, everyone tell where the last time they saw the white deer cub, when, after playing this game, everyone can leave." ”
Yan Juetang's body became even stiffer, Zhu Xiaozhu ignored him, and asked people to take the paper and send it to the children present one by one, asking them to write their answers on the paper.
After all, it is on someone else's territory, and although the children are dissatisfied, they can only do it.
They made a big bad comment to Zhu Xiaozhu in their hearts, and then handed over the note.
Zhu Xiaozhu changed the note in his hand and gave the person who stole the deer cub one last chance: "Let's follow the clues little by little, maybe we can find the white deer cub, but I hope the white deer cub will come back by itself." ”
Yan Juetang was silent.
Just as Zhu Xiaozhu was reading the note, he suddenly got up and said, "Lord Mingzhu, I have something to tell you, can you come out with me?" ”
Is he going to tell himself the truth?
Zhu Xiaozhu readily agreed.
She put down the note in her hand and walked on the path in the manor with Yan Juetang.
The two walked and walked, and after walking a long way, Yan Juetang suddenly spoke: "My mother is sick, and the doctor said that only the magic medicine of heaven can save her." ”
A question mark slowly popped up in Zhu Xiaozhu's head, but she politely did not interrupt Yan Juetang.
Yan Juetang's gaze fell on a far, far away: "Bailu has always been called an auspicious sign by everyone, so I think Bailu should probably be a miracle medicine." ”
His tone was flat, but Zhu Xiaozhu's little head suddenly buzzed.
So, is Bailu really stolen by this Yan Juetang?
He admitted it so readily?
But, but ...... I always felt that something was wrong!
Zhu Xiaozhu blinked, his bright eyes stared at Yan Juetang, Yan Juetang was flustered for no reason, but when he thought of his mother, he gritted his teeth again, suddenly reached out and put his little hand on Zhu Xiaozhu's shoulder: "I'm sorry, little county lord, but I really have no choice!" ”
"Hey, wait! But the white deer cub doesn't have any medicinal value, you ......" Zhu Xiaozhu sensed the danger, and hurriedly opened his mouth to popularize science to this young man who remembered his mother in his heart: "The white deer is just a kind of deer, this white reindeer is produced by genetic mutation, and it is the same as the white tiger." ”
"They're all ordinary little animals, without any medicinal value!"
"And the so-called miracle medicine is just the psychological comfort given by the doctor to the patient's family, the most powerful medicine in the world is the company of the family, it is happy, so you can accompany your mother more, your mother's mood is better, plus the medicine nourishment, the body will be much better!"
Yan Juetang didn't speak, and the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows was even more dazzling.
Zhu Xiaozhu looked at him expectantly, gently tugged at his sleeve with his little paws, and his voice was delicate and timid, with a little pleading: "So do you know where the little deer cub is?" Can you give it back to me? ”
Yan Juetang's face was complicated, and finally, he still spoke: "There is no miracle medicine in the world that I know......"
After a pause, the little boy had chagrin on his face: "I didn't steal the White Deer Cub, and it's not with me." ”
