Chapter 33: An Unusual Smell of Blood
Shen Sitang had two days of peace, and every day he either practiced or took Yun Chi to the deer horse farm to run a few laps, and he was idle and idle, but it was too boring.
In the past, her life was so colorful, either taking anatomy classes at school, or going to the police station to help investigate crimes, listening to books in her spare time, and feeling the charm of natural sounds.
Now that she has no electronic devices, she can only stare at home when she has nothing to do.
"Big sister big sister..."
Shen Sitang was so bored at the window that he sighed, Shen Xueyi suddenly ran into her yard, Shen Lezhi followed closely behind, and gently told him: "Run slowly, don't fall." ”
Shen Lezhi was followed by two maids, both holding wooden trays in their hands, on which neatly folded clothes were placed.
"Big sister, let's go out and play."
Shen Xueyi didn't know how many pounds and taels he weighed, so he always threw himself into Shen Sitang's arms very casually, and Shen Sitang caught him with his arm.
"Hanging out? Where to go? There's nothing fun about the capital either. ”
"Huh? I don't know, the second sister said she was going out to play. Shen Xueyi looked up at his fleshy little face, which was very cute.
Shen Sitang was surprised and looked at Shen Lezhi, who had just walked in: "You want to go out to play?" ”
Isn't everyone's lady not out of the door? Shen Lezhi really rarely goes out, and she doesn't seem to have worldly desires at all.
Shen Lezhi motioned to the two maids to put the tray on the table, and said with a smile, "Sister forgot?" There is a lantern festival tonight, and the capital will be very lively, and my mother said that the new clothes are ready, and our family will go out for a walk. ”
Shen Sitang looked at the new clothes on the table: "This is the new clothes made of Yun Jin sent by His Royal Highness the Sixth?" ”
"Well, my sister came over to take a look?"
Shen Sitang answered, and shook off his clothes casually, the cloud brocade was soft, the workmanship was very exquisite, and the color was not gaudy or tacky, which was very good.
"Sister is happy?"
"Well, that's good, you're all done?"
Shen Lezhi nodded: "It's all done." ”
"Alright then, when are you going to go out?"
"Let's have dinner, my mother ordered, let my sister not change into new clothes first, in case it gets dirty during dinner, it's not too late to change when you go out."
Shen Sitang responded: "Got it." ”
Shen Lezhi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, sighed softly and said with a smile: "Sister, that sister won't bother you." ”
Shen Sitang wanted to nod, but he was really bored, so he said, "I didn't bother, let's sit down for a while." ”
Shen Lezhi was stunned, pinched the hem of her skirt a little flattered, and hesitated before taking her seat, she looked cramped and uneasy, and she didn't know where to put her hands.
Shen Sitang smiled: "Why are you so nervous?" ”
Shen Lezhi hurriedly shook his head, and sat upright before replying: "No... No nervousness. ”
"Still say no? His forehead was sweating. ”
Shen Le subconsciously raised his hand, halfway as if he had thought of something, took out a handkerchief and wiped it elegantly, and said with a helpless chuckle: "My sister didn't like my sister to stay in your room too much before. ”
Shen Sitang remembered, it was true, Shen Sitang didn't like Shen Cao's family in the past, and he didn't like Shen Lezhi, only Shen Xueyi could get her a little smile.
She waved her hand and smiled, "I didn't know anything before, don't mind." ”
Shen Lezhi was stunned again, and then slowly shook his head with relief: "My sister understands, my sister must feel isolated in this family, except for my father, we all treat you as an outsider." ”
Shen Sitang didn't pick up, Shen Sitang really thought so before.
"Sister, I think you're different."
Shen Sitang put the clothes in his hand back on the tray and looked at Shen Lezhi: "What's the difference?" ”
Shen Lezhi shook his head: "I can't say it, it's just different, maybe as my mother said, my sister has grown up, in short, I like my current sister very much, in fact, I don't hate my former sister." ”
Shen Sitang didn't say anything, just nodded seriously.
——
After dinner, Shen Mingyi took his family out in a carriage, the carriage stopped on Changhua Street, and the capital tonight was more lively than ever, brightly lit and crowded.
"Big sister and second sister, there's delicious food there!"
Shen Xueyi saw a bunch of children surrounding a stall and pointed over excitedly.
Shen Sitang took his hand: "Let's go, big sister will take you to buy." ”
Shen Caoshi hurriedly pushed Shen Lezhi: "You follow quickly, look at the two of them, don't get lost." ”
Shen Lezhi told him uneasily: "Mother, don't get lost with your father." ”
Shen Cao was very confident: "This kid, your father and I are so old can we still get lost?" ”
Shen Sitang bought a candy man for Shen Xueyi, Shen Lezhi was by his side, and she couldn't find her father and mother when she turned around, so she quickly pulled Shen Sitang's clothes: "Sister, my father and mother are gone." ”
"Huh?" Shen Sitang turned his head and looked around, and said indifferently: "If it's gone, it's gone, can you still lose it if you are such an adult?" We shop ours. After she finished speaking, she led Shen Xueyi to the crowd.
Shen Le was speechless for a while, and could only follow behind them.
Shen Sitang saw that there were too many people, so he naturally turned his head and stretched out his hand to Shen Lezhi, signaling to take her.
Shen Lezhi froze, staring at the hand for a long time without moving.
"What do you think? Hand to me. ”
Shen Lezhi came back to his senses at this time, and just as he was about to stretch out his hand, Shen Sitang was hit by the person in front of her, and she subconsciously helped her: "Sister, be careful." ”
Shen Sitang almost fell, frowned and looked over, but was stunned.
The man was dressed in black, lowered his head and had no intention of apologizing, and hurried away.
"Sister, are you alright?"
Shen Sitang shook his head and chased after the man.
Shen Lezhi also looked over: "What's wrong?" Does my sister know that person? ”
"I don't know." But seen.
She really saw the person who bumped into her two days ago, at the entrance of Jingyuan Temple outside the capital, when the person was wearing a Taoist robe, and begged a monk to take him to see the abbot of Yuanming with eager eyes, saying that he was here to redeem his sister, but the house said that there was no such person as his sister, and he was afraid that his sister would have something to do, so he came to ask for help.
What's going on?
Today, the little Taoist priest was not wearing a Taoist uniform, but was dressed in black from head to toe, and when she bumped into her just now, she seemed to smell a familiar smell.
As a professional forensic examiner, she is sensitive to that taste.
It smells of blood!
How could he smell of blood?
"Sister?"
Shen Lezhi's voice brought Shen Sitang back to her senses, she stuffed Shen Xueyi's hand to Shen Lezhi, and said to her, "You two continue to shop, I have something to do." ”
"Huh? What's the matter? ”
Shen Sitang didn't answer her, and the person had already chased the person just now.
Shen Xueyi shook Shen Lezhi's hand: "Second sister, why did the eldest sister leave?" Where is she going? ”
"The second sister doesn't know either." Shen Lezhi sighed as he spoke, and complained in a low voice: "None of them are worry-free." ”
Shen Sitang wanted to catch up with the little Taoist, but there were too many people at the Lantern Festival in the capital tonight, and she seemed to have been discovered, so the little Taoist turned left and right and quickly got rid of her.
She stood at the intersection and looked around, and suddenly someone tapped her shoulder from behind.
