Volume 1 The Caged Bird Chapter 38 Blood and Flowers (11) The First Night I

Silence, deathly silence.

Xia Ming immediately stood up, glanced at Lante, and after thanking his master and friend, the two left this place of right and wrong.

Rand asked, "Why leave at this time, things seem to have developed towards the answers we wanted." ”

Xia Ming said, "Don't worry that the answer will leave us because of this, I think Miss Greon will come to us tonight." ”

It's not that Xia Ming doesn't want to find the answer quickly, but at the moment, it would be better for them to inquire less about other people's housework.

The rant thief smiled: "Boss, don't worry, I won't tell the boss." ”

Xia Ming couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he saw him show a treacherous smile that only had a businessman's face, and asked, "Who is the boss?"

Rand laughed but didn't say anything.

Back in the cabin next to the enclosure, Xia Ming lay on a bed made of wooden planks, thinking about why Miss Yudo would take them in.

A series of wooden houses next to the sheepfold were apparently for the original farmers of the pasture, but where did these farmers go?

At noon, when the maid Sarah brought them here, she first said that "there is a shortage of manpower" and then that "you can only live with the peasants", and when Xia Ming asked "why there is no one", she forcibly explained that "the peasants are not always needed", and then he heard the problem.

He guessed that there were a lot of people living here, and that in this small room, several wooden planks were laid out on the wall on the left side, taking up almost half of the room. A house can be used for many purposes, and even if it is surrounded by a series of sheds, it is not enough to say that there were many people living in the house.

But some special utensils are different, such as beds, tables, benches, etc., when there are many such things, it can be shown that there were many people in the center at the same time.

But they left, and why?

How much do they know about the "night"?

Was it good intentions for Eudor Greon to keep them? she really saw that their identities were fake. The key to why Fansi Green, who rarely speaks, suddenly lost control during the banquet was his last sentence, "You are all liars." He meant everyone, and no, he didn't want to believe that the beautiful, lively, and kind Miss Yudo would speak to him.

But then again, how could he be sure that Yudo wasn't hiding anything from them.

When the train stopped near a small town that day, everyone had their own ghosts, and if he hadn't had a shadow of the old man selling chestnuts since he was a child, and he was a stunning beauty, he might have really eaten her chestnuts.

What reason does he have to prove that Yudo is really what he says and what he seems?

Xia Ming suddenly called Rant: "What about the puppet you carried?"

Rand pulled out a wooden box from a haphazard pile of planks and bark, blew off the wood chips, and carried it over.

Xia Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better for you to write, and report what you saw today and what happened at the dinner to your seniors." I remember in the language of the Qiutu tribe, I went out to watch, and beware of people coming. ”

Rand said confidently, "Wrap it around me." ”

Rand's mother is an authentic Mund people, and it is not surprising that Rand can write Mutu script, but if it is discovered, it would be unprofessional if it is found to be written in a standard language. Xia Ming heard that in some pastures, the ranch owner often raised a very fierce bird. He wasn't sure that the parts made of wood that looked like they were going to fall apart at any moment were really better than the birds.

In an inn opened by outsiders, the senior executor slammed the table, and the downstairs ceiling suddenly had dust falling, and several drunk customers cursed.

"I didn't expect this kid to hook up with the ranch beauty so quickly, okay, tell him to hook up well, and get some words out of that girl's mouth. ”

Everyone trembled, thinking that the executor's predecessor was going to be furious, but he didn't expect such a sentence to come. Since it's not a big deal, it's okay to slap the table like this, I'm afraid that if they stay here for a few days, the inn will go bankrupt and close down.

Although they knew in their hearts that Xia Ming had arranged them here to watch these two girls, what did they dare to say? Haven't they heard that the senior prefects have been sent to the medical hall?

Among these people, only Mu Shiyu had a calm face, as if everything happened to her facial features.

"Little Wood girl, come on, come on, I'll leave this matter to you. After all, you are the only boss except us, and we can rest assured that we will leave it to you. The executor senior Yao smiled sweetly.

Mu Siyu stepped heavily on the floor slab, grabbed the messenger puppet and left.

"You incompetent idiots, get out of here, we're going to sleep. Lin said.

Zhang Monkey Minghong held his head exaggeratedly and slipped away.

"Sister, it's still so early, are you really going to sleep?" asked Yao.

On their suitcase, a delicate wooden box was ticking crisply, it was a time box, and it was nine o'clock in the evening.

Lin said: "Sleeping late is not good for your health, and I heard that sleeping late will not grow taller." ”

Yao said: "Who wants to grow taller, I don't want to grow up." ”

Lin said: "Me too, when I think about the wrinkles on your face, I still call you sister, so how can you still have a cheeky skin?"

Yao jumped up and said, "Don't say that my face is full of wrinkles, you are full of wrinkles." ”

Lin said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, I don't want to grow up, then let's not sleep." Think about where to go tonight?"

Yao said, "I saw a very fluffy and cute animal tethered under a lot of big trees, let's go play with them, shall we?"

Lin said: "Sister, you really don't know, it's not a furry animal, it's a subclass beast, specifically it doesn't belong to a cow, but it is the most ferocious cow." It was heard that it had the blood of monsters, so it was a rope rather than a chain that held it together. ”

Yao said: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and catch one and come back to play!"

Lin shook his head helplessly, "Silly sister, why are you so stupid?"

Lin finally understood why Yao said that the subclass beasts were furry and cute, and when they stood from a distance and watched, things naturally looked small and cute.

Lin suggested, "Let's go earn the Lucky Goddess tonight." ”

Yao Hammer said dejectedly, "How can you earn the Lucky Goddess again?"

Lin said: "Don't forget that Mom hasn't woken up yet, as long as we find enough lucky goddesses, Mom will wake up." ”

Yao seemed to suddenly remember something, quickly packed up her things, and urged: "Then let's hurry up and find the lucky goddess, so that my mother can wake up one day." ”

Xia Ming climbed on the sloping roof of the cabin, sitting on the ridge of the roof, and the cool breeze at night gradually took on the temperament of winter. In Sanam, there are four seasons in a day, and the night is the time of winter, which is why every morning when spring comes, and the land will sprout new shoots.

He guessed wrong, Yudo didn't come to him tonight.

The host's friends, who had departed after the feast, had walked in such a hurry that they did not seem to want to stay here for a moment. After Sarah waited for the servants to put away the dishes, the day was over. The rest of them had the job of delivering a cup of hot milk to Mrs. Green's room every night until bedtime.

It was a quarter past nine, and Sarah was delivering milk, and as she passed by the living room, she met the sleepy-eyed Miss Yudo.

Miss Yudo said, "I'll come, Sarah. You go and tell me to be careful at night with those two friends, and you know why the peasants don't dare to stay there. ”

"Yes Miss. Sarah said respectfully.

Although Sarah didn't want to go over, she couldn't disobey the order of the eldest lady.

"Did you add sugar?" asked Yudo, "Mother doesn't like to drink light milk. ”

"Plus, miss. I know Madame's habits. ”

"Okay, there you go. ”

Then Miss Yudo went upstairs with the tray. Sarah walked in the direction of the sheepfold.

Seeing Xia Ming sitting on the shed, Sarah asked him, "Mr. Herrick, what are you doing?"

Xia Ming hurriedly jumped down from the roof and asked, "What's the matter, Miss Sarah, it's so late, and you're still here?"

Xia Ming pointed to the sky and said, "I am counting the stars in the sky, and the stars here are the same as those in my hometown, big and bright. He was actually waiting for a reply from the "headquarters".

Sarah listened to his strange and efficient accent and smiled, "How can you count the stars in the sky." ”

She said, "It was Miss Yudo who asked me to come and tell you that if there is nothing wrong with the night, don't come out at will." ”

Xia Ming asked, "Why?"

Sarah explains: "You probably don't know the weather here, it's horribly cold at night, and you can still see ice in the kitchen tank when you wake up in the morning. ”

Xia Ming smiled: "I see, thank you so much." And the hospitality of the host tonight. ”

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Sarah finally instructed, "Rest early, Mr. Herrick." Then he left.

Her steps went faster than when she came, and Xia Ming's face sank. What happens at night, and why does she look so worried and scared?

Back at the cabin, Xia Ming said to Rand, "Be careful tonight, if you are worried, let's take turns keeping vigil." ”

Rand cautiously looked out the door behind him and asked nervously, "There won't be anything unclean, right?"

As he was saying this, a cool night breeze entered through the ventilation window, slammed the door shut, and extinguished the oil lamp on the table.

Rand screamed like a ghost, but fortunately, Xia Ming quickly covered his mouth.

It took a while for Rand to come back to his senses, "Boss, why are you defenseless now, in case something happens..."

Xia Ming lit the oil lamp, closed the doors and windows, and said, "Don't worry!" He took out a book from the bag of his clothes, and the cover read "Encyclopedia of Survival", which he took from the student union, and it was said to be genuine, and the cover was also exquisite. When he turned to the first page, it said that if he encountered such and such a situation, the response was to run away, and on the second page, if he encountered such and such a situation... If...

Xia Ming flipped to the editor in front of the catalog, and sure enough, he saw four big characters printed on it: Qishan Pu Lei.

Sure enough, it will be produced by the student union, and it must be a copycat!

Rand leaned his head over, Xia Ming immediately closed the book, and said confidently: "I have a countermeasure." ”

"What countermeasures?"

Xia Ming moved the table over and put it next to the door, blocking the entrance, not at ease. He sprinkled water on the door valve and the corners of the table, and said, "When the temperature drops tonight, the water will freeze." ”

Rand said with some concern: "I'm afraid this ice can't block this door." ”

Xia Ming also moved the wooden bed over, next to the table, and said, "I'll sleep on it tonight, and you can also move one over." ”

It turned out that he was going to use himself to block the door. Xia Ming said: "I know that the ice can't seal the door, but it can delay a little time. ”

After blocking the bed or something, he suddenly crouched on the ground.

Rand was shocked and said, "Even if you can't get out, don't be so casual about the three urgents, right?"

Xia Ming said: "Hurry your sister, come and play in the mud!"

Rand walked over curiously, only to see that Xia Ming was scraping some dirt from the ground with the shovel that he used to shovel the sheep's excrement at noon. Placed on a long, clean wooden board, Xia Ming molded it into the shape of a knife with water, Xia Ming said, "In the middle of the night, it will be a sharp short knife." ”
