Chapter 12 The Opposite of Eyes on the Lake
In the third-floor teleportation room of the library building, Lin Peixuan squatted on the ground silently wiping the stains on the books, in fact, most of them were paw prints made by white cats, so the little girl glanced at the hateful cat from time to time out of the corner of her eye. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But the white cat didn't have time to pay attention to her now, it was standing in the apple basket, grabbing the top edge of the basket with its two front paws, and describing the dangers in the forest to Twilight with its mouth foaming:
“...... One-legged, two-legged, four-legged, six-legged, and eight-legged, one by one, they are very vicious! Which one of you can beat? You can't beat the one without legs! If it weren't for the timely arrival of the wise and martial wolf, you would have been eaten by those who have one leg and those who don't!"
Lin Du sat cross-legged on the ground, listening to it curiously with a pair of big eyes, although he felt that most of the time the white cat was bragging, but listening to a cat was very interesting in itself. At this time, he couldn't help but raise his hand and asked, "Lord Wolf, what is the one-legged guy?"
The white cat was triumphant, raised one of its front paws and waved: "Snake!
Lin Du was stunned: "The snake obviously has no legs, only a tail. ”
"Tail? Have you ever seen a rabbit that can stand up straight with its tail propped up on the ground? Can a rabbit be able to do it a tiger or a wolf or not? But a snake can, so it's not a tail, it's a leg!"
Lin Du tilted his little head and thought about it, feeling that Lord Wolf's words were very reasonable, but he felt that something seemed wrong, so he asked, "Lord Wolf Lord, if the snake has one leg, what thing doesn't have legs?"
"Of course it's still a snake! It doesn't have that leg to stand up, that leg is the tail, it doesn't have legs. The white cat waved its paws and shook its head like an old human pedant, "So, sometimes snakes have one leg, sometimes they don't. You are still young and don't understand a lot of things, so you usually have to come to the third floor to ask Lord Wolf for advice, but remember to bring more apples, the Lord Wolf who eats apples is the most knowledgeable person in the world. ”
"Well, Lord Wolf is the most knowledgeable!" Lin Du nodded very sincerely, although he was confused, although he felt that a fool only believed the words of the white cat, but this did not prevent him from making friends with this lonely kitten. The young lady who was just silently cleaning on the side couldn't stand these idiotic conversations, and finally shouted: "Stinky cat, can you be quiet for a while?
Lin Du and the white cat turned their gaze to Lin Peixuan. My sister had already wiped the book clean, and was about to clean her skirt, because of the fall in the forest and the scratching of the bush branches, the beautiful dress was very stained, and when she smelled it, there was a faint fishy smell and musty smell, which made her unbearable but did not know how to remove it, so she became agitated.
It was rare for the white cat to find such an informed and interesting child as Lin Dui, and had such a harmonious and friendly exchange, as soon as it was interrupted by Lin Peixuan, she protested angrily: "You soiled the skirt yourself, why bother Lord Wolf?"
"If you hadn't secretly set up a teleportation array to go to the forest, how would I have run there and soiled my skirt?" Lin Peixuan exclaimed not to be outdone
"That's where Lord Wolf goes, and Lord Wolf didn't invite you over, what does it have to do with Lord Wolf?"
"I don't care! If you don't get my skirt clean, I'll tell my dad about the teleportation array!"
The girl and the cat are again caught up in an endless quarrel. Lin Du scratched his head, knowing that it would be redundant for him to stay any longer, thinking that he had been upstairs for a long time, and Sister Liu'er was still waiting downstairs, so he got up from the ground, slipped out of the teleportation room alone, and walked downstairs empty-handed.
Liu Er was waiting anxiously at the borrowing registration office, and when she saw him coming downstairs, she hurriedly greeted him and said, "Young master, you can come down, you see that it is almost dark, and if you don't go back, Madam will definitely be worried." ”
"Well, Sister Liu'er, wait a minute, we'll go back right away. ”
Lin Du said as he walked towards the middle-aged woman at the registration desk, the woman recognized him as the fifth young master who had gone upstairs a few hours ago, and saw that he came back empty-handed, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Young master, you don't have any books that you need to borrow this time?"
"Yes, I want to borrow five books, and my sister is afraid that I will be too tired to hold the books, so she keeps helping me hold them. She'll come down in a moment, Auntie, you wait. Lin Du took off the identity tag hanging on his body, handed it to the woman, and said with a clear eye.
He had to take those books, and since the young lady had to grab them, and he didn't want to directly conflict with her, he had to do so. In this way, the young lady will be praised, and he will be able to get the book again, which he thinks is very good.
"I see. The woman smiled and took the identity card, thinking that the young masters and ladies in the house were really harmonious, the elder sister felt so sorry for her younger brother, and the Hou Ye and the ladies really taught their children well.
While speaking, Lin Peixuan walked downstairs with brisk steps holding a book, and her skirt was already new. After some coercion, she promised to bring more apples to the white cat, and finally made it nod and give in, and used astrology to remove the stains from its clothes. Seeing Lin Dui, she was slightly stunned, and the question that had echoed many times involuntarily jumped out of her mind - what if he wasn't a younger brother?
What to do? She didn't know, she hadn't figured it out yet.
Originally, she wanted to question Lin Du and then tell her mother, but now she didn't want to question and didn't bother to report it. The encounter in the woods just now still made her feel uneasy, and her first adventure in life will never be forgotten. If it weren't for Lin Dui scaring the spider and delaying the time, she knew that they wouldn't have been able to wait for the white cat to appear, and it would have already become a delicious meal in the mouths of those star beasts. There is no doubt that it was Lin Du who saved himself. She felt that there was more and more mystery in this "brother", and this boy younger than herself actually protected herself in that dangerous situation, and she was so panicked that she couldn't do anything, and almost cried.
It's good that I didn't cry, otherwise I would have lost face. He saved me, of course I can't hurt him, he can't do anything bad anyway, I'll spy on him in the future, hmph.
Lin Du didn't know what her sister was thinking. He didn't know that there was a sneaky black book in the astrology room, that someone had faintly seen through his identity, that the little girl in front of him could change his fate with a single thought, and that his performance in the forest had left an indelible mark on the girl, making her finally choose to remain silent on the question of the truth or falsehood of her younger brother.
Lin Peixuan pretended not to see Lin Dui, ignored Lin Dui's greetings, and directly handed the book in her arms to the middle-aged woman at the borrowing office. It's not that she didn't think about returning the book to him, but she couldn't find an excuse to return it after thinking about it, and after returning from the forest, Lin Dui didn't ask for it back, and she started to get angry for no reason when she thought of this, so she decided to really borrow the book.
There were five books in total, and she casually watched as the woman recorded the titles of the books one by one in the register, and watched her wrap the books in a special black tarpaulin bag and hand them out, but instead of herself, she was handed to Lin Dui, who was standing on the other side. She was stunned for a moment, frost appeared on her pink little face, and she just wanted to say, "That's mine," but saw that the woman wrapped the book she had borrowed before and handed it to herself, and said with a kind smile: "You young ladies and brothers have a really good relationship." ”
So Lin Peixuan finally didn't say what he said, just looked at Lin Du with a frosty face, and the feeling of being tricked all the way was extremely strong, and he thought about whether to trick this guy into the star magic room next time and let the black book teach him a lesson.
Lin Du was small, and the book was very thick, so it was very difficult to hold it, and Yahuan Liu'er hurriedly took it from his arms. He was not too embarrassed to face his sister's cold gaze, squeezed a smile at her, then turned around and pulled Liu'er's sleeve, and whispered, "Let's go!"
The two of them left the library and walked along the path to the water's edge after a while. Liu Er got into a small boat, put the book in the cabin first, then turned around and pulled Lin Du onto the boat and sat him down, rowed the oars and was about to leave the island, but heard a boy's voice from the shore: "Xiao Wu, wait!
The two looked back and found that Lin Hao was walking towards the shore with a smile, followed by Lin Peixuan, who was still frosty. Liu Er saw that Lin Peixuan's face was not quite right before, and felt that these two people might not be good, but she was not good at refusing, so she looked at the little young master Lin Du. Lin Du felt that it would be better to go together, but he first hugged the bookbag tightly in his arms, and then grinned at Lin Hao: "Okay, third brother, come up quickly." ”
So Lin Hao and the two also got on the boat, and Lin Peixuan saw that Lin Du was afraid that he would rob him of his book, so he defended himself like a thief, so he couldn't help but pout, turned his back, and sat on the bow of the boat farthest away from him.
After she came out of the library building, she met Lin Hao who was playing chess in the Xianyi Pavilion, Lin Hao saw her puffing up and pushed the chessboard and came over to ask her what was wrong, she was only angry and didn't speak, Lin Hao had to leave with her, so they chased her over to catch up with Lin Dui's boat.
Although the little girl was extremely angry, she didn't think about snatching Lin Dui's book again, which was originally Lin Dui's, but she felt very shameless when she thought that she had been a porter stupidly for an afternoon. Lin Dui guarded against her, and she also avoided Lin Dui. Lin Du didn't talk to her, and she didn't bother to talk to him. Just when she thought she would sit on the shore of the lake in silence like this, she suddenly heard a plop behind her, and then heard the third brother shouting: "Save people!
Someone overboard?
She got up and turned around, and saw Lin Hao blinking at herself with a smile on his face, and in the water on the stern side, Lin Du was fluttering wildly, holding the bookbag with one hand, gulping the lake water. Liu Er was hurriedly stretching out the oars to Lin Dui, and shouted in her mouth: "Young Master, hold on!"
No matter how stupid Lin Peixuan is, she understands the cause and effect of the matter, it must have been Lin Hao's actions. She pushed her brother, who was yelling but didn't move: "Brother, you still don't save him!"
Lin Hao spread his hands and said with an innocent face: "I don't know how to water, how can I save this!"
Lin Peixuan usually doesn't like the third brother's hanging, but at this time, she is even more disgusted. She stopped pestering him, ran over and grabbed another oar, and tried to paddle the boat closer to Lin Dui, and when Lin Du hugged Liu Er's oar with one arm, Liu Er lay on the side of the boat and reached out to pull Lin Du up.
Lin Du sat in the cabin drenched, and Liu Er took out a towel to wipe the water stains on his body and head for him. Lin Peixuan watched from the side with a little guilt, she knew that the third brother probably thought that Lin Du was upsetting herself and wanted to teach him a lesson. Lin Hao was muttering on the side at this time: "Xiao Wu, why are you so careless, you can't take the boat too far aside, you don't know how to water, it's too dangerous!"
Lin Du lowered his head, resisted the urge to vomit, and silently opened the black book bag, although it was a special tarpaulin, there was still a small amount of water soaked into the bag, and the edges of each book were partially soaked. This made his already pale face even more ugly.
Who pushed himself into the water, he knew very well in his heart. At that moment, he was sitting in the stern of the boat and watching the red carp in the lake play, but a huge force hit behind him, like a gust of wind suddenly coming, making him fall into the water unsuspectingly. He knew that this must be the effect of star power, and only Lin Hao was practicing among the four people on the boat. He also noticed the banter in the other person's eyes after he fell into the water.
Spit out a mouthful of astringent lake water, looking at the soaked pages, Lin Du clearly felt a wave of anger in his heart, no longer controllable.
He stood up, coldly rushed to Lin Hao on the side, and threw a punch in the face. The fist didn't have the strange power it had before, only a spitting of rage. Lin Hao grabbed his wrist as soon as he stretched out his hand, the strength of the two was not at the same level at all, but Lin Du didn't break free, so he pounced on him and bit Lin Hao's arm with a mouth. Lin Hao screamed in pain, this unexpected attack actually broke the star power of his body, he instinctively beat Lin Dui's head and shoulders and back, and threw it outward, but the pain in his right arm made him unable to exert all his strength, and it took a long time to shake Lin Du off, leaving two deep red tooth marks on his arm. He rubbed his arms and shouted hysterically: "Mad dog, mad dog!
Lin Peixuan was stunned by the scene in front of her. She had also provoked Lin Du before, wanting to see him go crazy, but now she finally saw it, but she just felt scared. He was so young, five years younger than the third brother, and the third brother was still a person who had been cultivating for a long time, how could he dare to rush up, and he could bite his arm? She saw him sitting on the ground soaking wet and his hair scattered, his eyes were red, there was a bloody mark on his mouth, and his delicate little face was stubborn, and she was suddenly afraid that the third brother would continue to do it, so she rushed up and hugged Lin Hao, crying: "Brother, don't fight, don't fight!"
The maid Liu'er also stayed for a long time, she didn't know that the gentle and polite young master would still fight, a child who had not yet practiced went to resist an older child who had been practicing for several years, and when she saw that he was thrown off, she wanted to rush up, so she hurriedly went over and stopped him: "Young master, stop fighting, please, let Madame know that I will definitely be scolded!"
The boat swayed left and right in the middle of the lake, and the four people on board were in a mess. No one noticed that there were two people standing in front of the Xianyi Pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake, pointing and watching from a distance. One is the bearded and white fairy Mr. Ji, and the other is a middle-aged man in plain clothes, his facial features reveal an awe-inspiring majesty from the elegance, at first glance he looks like a well-educated scholar, but at a closer look he looks like a fierce general who has been tempered by life and death for a long time, and there is a faint murderous aura hidden inside, free from the outside.
The boat is only a few hundred meters away from the island in the middle of the lake, and the two of them can naturally see everything on the boat clearly. The middle-aged man shook his head, a self-deprecating smile on his face, and asked Mr. Ji: "Mr. Ji, let's see, is it a wise choice for me to come to the library first as soon as I return home?" Originally, I came to visit you, but I didn't expect to see such a good show. I'm away all the year round, and I can't take care of these little ones at home, so you have to worry a little more for me, if there is a mistake, you will be punished, and you don't have to take care of the face of the ladies, otherwise, it will really make them go against the sky. ”
Mr. Ji stroked his beard lightly and said with a smile: "Master Hou is really joking, the four ladies are very strict, the young masters and young ladies are also working weekdays, and the fifth young master is even more diligent. ”
"Oh?" Lin Fengshan looked at the boat on the lake again, locked his eyes on the wet child, a playful look appeared on his face, and then suddenly laughed, turned around, waved his hand while walking towards the Xianyi Pavilion and said, "Is the discipline very strict?" It seems that the little ones are still too lively, I will personally check their homework in two days. Come on, come on, don't mention these troubles, you and I will talk about a game first.
