Chapter 44: The knot is easy to untie
Before Shao Siyu's words were spoken, the bell outside the door of the "Liqiu" room rang again, jingle bell, jingle bell, as if it would be soul-stunning, and it made people's hearts beat when they heard it.
Shen Qingjiu turned his head to look, and muttered in his mouth: "Strange, how can it ring at this time, the room of 'Liqiu' recently doesn't seem to be too stable." ”
While speaking, she had already stepped out from behind the counter, holding the keychain in her hand, and followed the bell to the front of the room of "Liqiu", Shao Siyu walked with her, and they saw the bell hanging on the door, under the action of no external force, shaking desperately, as if there was an invisible hand, constantly shaking the string of bells, making it ring.
Shen Qingjiu took a deep breath, raised his hand, and was about to knock on the door.
However, before her hand fell, the door opened first, and the withered leaves stood behind the door, their eyes fell on Shen Qingjiu's body, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes, and she said, "Is there something wrong?" ”
The moment he opened the door, the bell hanging on the door suddenly stopped shaking, the bell disappeared, and everything returned to its normal state, as if the bell had never rang, and the dead leaves had never heard the bell.
Shen Qingjiu felt strange, put his hand down awkwardly, smiled at the dead leaves, and said, "It's okay, just take a look around, and by the way, see if there are any guests who need help." ”
Withered Leaves turned around and glanced inside the room, as if looking for a place where help might be needed, and after a while, he retracted his gaze and fell on Shen Qingjiu's body, saying: "There is nothing needed, there is everything in the room, and there is a medicine box, the medicine in Taijilou is very effective, my wounds have begun to heal, I haven't thanked you properly, if it weren't for you, I would be in the Demon Capital Security Department now, and this hand is afraid that it will also be wasted." ”
Thinking of Han Dongqing's expression that day, Shen Qingjiu felt that there was a cold wind behind her, rising from the soles of her feet, making goosebumps all over her body, and she had a feeling that soon, she would see that Han Dongqing again.
Ji Lingling shivered, Shen Qingjiu smiled awkwardly, and said: "No, no, if it's okay, then you can rest well, you can come to me at any time if necessary, remember, after twelve o'clock in the evening, before six o'clock in the morning, you can't leave the room." ”
Withered Leaf nodded in response and said, "I know, I won't forget." ”
The door of "Liqiu" was closed again, and the bell hanging on the door did not ring again, Shen Qingjiu stood outside the door and watched for a while, making sure that the bell would not ring again, so she walked back to the back of the counter with doubts.
Shao Siyu also followed her back, without saying a word the whole time.
Shen Qingjiu looked over curiously and said, "Why don't you go to rest, you should be very tired after a day of tossing today." ”
Shao Siyu pursed his lips tightly, with a slightly tangled expression on his face.
His appearance was very strange, and Shen Qingjiu's curiosity was even heavier, and he said, "Is there anything else?" ”
Shao Siyu carried one hand on his back, his fingers were bent, and he clenched into a fist, and after a long time, he said: "What does the bell on the door mean?" ”
After hesitating for so long, just wanted to ask this question?
Shen Qingjiu looked at him suspiciously, but she still gave him an answer: "The room with the bell hanging on the door means that it is a room with people, and the room without the bell is also called." 'Silent door', means that it is a room for demons who have nowhere to go at night, this is what Taijilou has always done, grandma said, those demons at night, also need a place to rest, if, those rooms that have been inhabited, the bell will ring, there are two possibilities, one is that Taijilou has a dangerous invasion, such as the shadow of the white tiger that day entered, and there is another possibility, that is, ......"
At this point, she suddenly stopped and did not continue, and the expression on her face became a little frightened.
Shao Siyu chased and asked, "What is the second type?" ”
Shen Qingjiu's face became ugly, she glanced at the direction of the room of "Liqiu" again, and said, "The second situation is that the non-human people living in the room are demons. ”
Inhuman or demon?
Shao Siyu's eyes drooped, and he muttered for a long time, and said, "I see." ”
Shen Qingjiu looked at him strangely and said, "You...... What are you thinking? ”
Shao Siyu shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't think about anything, since the bell doesn't ring now, it should be fine, I'll go back to the room first." ”
He walked up the stairs with slightly heavy steps, Shen Qingjiu tilted his head, watched him go up, and suddenly called out to him: "Shao Siyu." ”
Shao Siyu's footsteps stopped again, turned to look at Shen Qingjiu, and said, "Is there anything else?" ”
Shen Qingjiu looked at him, hesitated for a while, and then said, "I shouldn't have scolded you today, you saved me so many times, I shouldn't have doubts about you anymore, but ...... However, you can't do this next time, your heart will be scared out of you. ”
Shao Siyu was slightly stunned, and then said: "It's because I didn't think it through, and I won't in the future." ”
Shen Qingjiu let out a long breath, a smile appeared on her face, and said, "Go and rest, I still have to continue to do my summer homework, and there are still a lot of things I haven't finished." ”
"Summer homework?"
This term is unfamiliar to Shaosiyu.
Shen Qingjiu opened his mouth to explain: "That's it...... Well, it's the task assigned by the teacher, which should be completed during the holidays, so can you understand it? ”
Shao Siyu's brows furrowed tightly, and then he nodded slightly, and said, "It's probably understandable, then, you do your homework, I won't bother you." ”
This time, Shao Siyu didn't stop again, walked all the way to the third floor, and returned to his room.
Shen Qingjiu sat down behind the counter and untied the knot with Shao Siyu, her whole person was a lot more relaxed, thinking back to what happened during the day today, especially when Shao Siyu pushed Zhou Nuo down, at that moment, Shen Qingjiu really suspected that Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu had deceived her.
"Shao Siyu has saved me so many times, how can I doubt him, I really shouldn't be."
Shen Qingjiu raised his hand and knocked on his forehead, and muttered again: "Absolutely not in the future, but I should go to Zhou Nuo tomorrow and explain the situation to him, I was probably scared today, alas, there are a lot of things." ”
While chattering, she took out the homework book, opened the homework book and prepared to start writing summer vacation homework, but before her pen fell, she found a person standing in front of her, looked up, and found Shi Yueqing standing in front of the counter.
Yueqing looked at her with a gentle smile and said, "Can I ask you to do me a favor?" ”
Shen Qingjiu nodded and said, "Of course you can, if I can do it." ”
Although she doesn't know the origin of Yueqing, she always feels that this Yueqing is not simple, and she is a very person.
Yueqing said: "Of course you can do it, I don't think there is anyone more suitable than you, please help me give this to Ye, I don't know where he lives." ”
He put a letter on the counter, and with his good-looking hand, pushed it in front of Shen Qingjiu, Shen Qingjiu remembered the previous thing, came to Yueqing at night, and the two of them chatted all day, so, this is not a good conversation, is it time to make another appointment again, and continue the unfinished topic last time?
Yueqing saw that she didn't answer herself, so she said again: "Excuse me, is it okay?" ”
"Of course, I'd love to."
Shen Qingjiu reacted, stretched out his hand to take the letter, put it on top of his homework book, and said, "I will go to find Brother Ye tomorrow morning, you can rest assured, I promise to deliver it." ”
Yueqing nodded at her and said, "Then, I won't bother you with your homework, I have an important appointment tomorrow, I need to rest well and recuperate." ”
Shen Qingjiu felt that this Yueqing seemed to like the night very much, didn't he always think about chatting with Shao Siyu before, why did he "empathize with other love" so quickly, and instead go to intersect with the night, this man's attitude changed, and it was inevitably a little faster.
Her thoughts followed Yueqing upstairs, and she took it back, and fell on her homework book, and then the letter on the homework book, tomorrow I will go to Brother Ye first, and then go to Zhou Nuo.
Arrange tomorrow's itinerary, the next thing is to start writing summer homework, since Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu appeared, Shen Qingjiu feels that her every day is quite fulfilling, every minute and every second, there are different things happening, her time, not a minute is wasted, that is, at night, there is only a little time to write summer vacation homework.
When Shen Qingjiu took his eyes off his summer vacation homework for the third time and looked at the table clock placed on the counter, the time came to half past ten in the night.
"Why do you have such a thing as summer homework, isn't summer vacation just for fun?"
Shen Qingjiu left his seat with deep resentment, took the cup to catch the water, and saw that his hand was wrapped like a dumpling, and felt a faint pain, when he received the water, it was really not suitable for distraction, otherwise it would be the same as now.
The hot pain in her hand reminded her of the fire yesterday, the forbidden land behind, according to Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu, it was the place where Shen You once lived, and Bai Jingjing's big spider also coveted that forbidden land, is there really a secret in this land?
Shen Qingjiu seemed to be attracted to something, and asked her to follow the thing that attracted her, and when she reacted, she found that she was already standing outside the high walls of the forbidden land.
The high wall blocked her way, and the barren grass behind the high strength had been burned away, leaving only the ashes of the land, and under this land, it was once the place where Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu slumbered.
"Go up and have a look?"
Shen Qingjiu's words were at most a comfort to herself, because, in the next second, she had already jumped onto the high wall and had an unobstructed view of the scenery in the forbidden land, and when she saw the scenery behind the high wall, it was no longer enough to use the word "surprise" to describe her state of mind at this time.
She felt like she was witnessing a new birth.
