Chapter Seventy-Six: The Night Before Departure (Part I)
In the evening, the small shell pushed open the door of the east wing, and the orange light of the setting sun on the window cast onto the rolled-up bed tent. Xiao Shell smiled and adapted to the darkness in the next room, and said, "Are you awake?"
Canghai was lying on the pillow sleepy-eyed, blinked, and turned in.
Little Shell went over and pulled him back, "Don't sleep, it's time for dinner, you haven't eaten lunch." I didn't expect Canghai to be very easy to talk this time, so he sat up obediently. When I got up, my voice was hoarse, "Little shell, go get a basin of water to wash your face." ”
In front of the bed, on the four-legged wooden stool sat a copper basin filled with swaying water, and the sea wiped his face, and his face was as white as jade. After being stunned for a while, he said, "I have a headache with the little shell." ”
"Well, crying. Xiao Shell laid the meal on the table of the Eight Immortals. "Come and eat. ”
Canghai came over and sat down, rubbing the corners of his forehead, "Crying hurts sperm and blood." I need to replenish my strength. "Pick up the rice bowl and chew it.
Xiao Shell is a little uncomfortable, and he is used to coaxing him to eat every day. "Why are you so well-behaved today?"
"Only when you have a full stomach can you have the strength to do things. ”
“...... Is something going to happen?" Shell looked at him.
He shook his head, "I don't know." But tomorrow is the fourth day. ”
"On the fourth day of the investigation? But look at how you look like you don't do your job every day. ”
Canghai chopsticks stopped, and glanced at the small shell's dark eyes, "What is this called? By the way, you still owe me a pot, don't forget. ”
"Pot?" Xiao Shell squeezed his eyebrows and craned his neck, "What pot?"
"Black cauldron. ”
Shell smiled. "You mean what happened to Brother Shi in the morning?"
Canghai held his chopsticks and stretched out his arm to draw an extreme circle in the air, "I have carried a sturdy black cauldron for you," raised his left hand, "Look at it, my hands are like this." ”
"That's not your hand, that's your two. But for the record, I don't mean to blame. Only then did Xiao Ke pick up his rice bowl and eat steadily.
"Hmph, do you still have the heart to blame? Are you so clever, this is simply seamless. Ouch, the analysis of his case is really reasonable, as soon as he wants to become an official, he will be old and snowy in June. Well, the unjust case of the Taishi Pseudo-Ministry of Shangshu is the imperial envoy and the scholar of the University of Appeal. Canghai said casually, without any self-pity, the chopsticks reached into the plate in front of the small shell, and a piece of pine flower was clipped. "Fortunately, he thinks I did it, otherwise it would have been a big problem, and I really wouldn't be sure to settle it. ”
"What do you say?" Xiao Shell gritted the chopsticks holding only one grain of rice between his teeth.
"Tsk, what do you think, if he runs to me and asks, 'What security measures do you have in the outer building, my room has been burglarized, you have to find out the murderer for me', what do you say I should do? I can't tell him that Xiao Shell and I suspect you, so we go to look through your things, right? I can't just pick up an innocent secret guard to blame it, right? Although it lacks morality, but this time Erbai's role should not be underestimated. ”
"I didn't expect it. He's so fine, plus work experience, I can see how well I have recovered his things, so I'm sorry Erbai. ”
"What, you're sorry for me. ”
"You're Erbai......"
"Less nonsense! But it's really providential, I've been thinking about how things will turn around since you asked me to go to Qingming Linxue, but I haven't thought about it. It seems that the heavens will not kill me. ”
Shell watched him quiet for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he said: "Since then, you have known that I am pit you, why do you still jump into the pit?"
"You say you want to cook, you can't just intervene with you just because the fire is hot and the knife is sharp, right? Flattened his mouth again, "Anyway, the most important thing is 'conclusive evidence', and it's not a big deal, this black pot will be backed, at best, he just thinks that I have gone too far this time, I have a criminal record, and it is normal to be suspected, so it is seamless...... But as a result, it seems that the relationship between the two of us has increased,"
Shaking his bandaged left hand, "He also got angry and took revenge." You won't hate me again. It's so much better than finding out it's you, it's the most perfect black pot I've ever carried on my back. Ha Lu Ha. "Keep your head down and continue eating. ,
The more he said it and the more he enjoyed it, the more Shell felt like he was choked and couldn't speak. The heart is churning like a wave. After calming down for a long time, he said, "If you find out that it's me...... What will happen?"
Canghai thought about it seriously, and the corners of his mouth slammed down, "It's troublesome." In a word, the brother didn't have to do it. He spoke very quickly, and I don't know if it was to hide his chokes.
"That's it...... So?"
"Isn't that serious enough?" he sighed, but the heavy words were still unspoken.
The small shell suddenly felt a little thicker than the cup of astringent tea. He knew that there were many serious consequences, and Canghai couldn't bear to say it. For Canghai, one is enough. Xiao Shell felt sad and a little regretful, but lowered his head and said, "I have no regrets." ”
Canghai looked at him a little incredulously. looked at the corners of his mouth as if he was bent upward, and said solemnly: "Trembling, like facing the abyss, like walking on thin ice." After speaking, he immediately frowned and pursed his lips, "Do you know what the most immoral thing you have done is? It is to use my sugar as bait! Fortunately, they still don't know about my sugar, otherwise there would be another piece of evidence! If you take my candy as a child's play, I will, I will cut off relations with you!" The injured left hand slapped on the table, and I was about to cry in pain.
Xiao Shell lowered his head and didn't pay attention to his expression, trembling Are you telling me my attitude towards things in the future I don t know if I heard the words in the back of my stunned eyes. Raising his head, he said unwillingly: "That...... What if ......"
"There are no ifs. "There is no doubt about it.
"I mean, what would you do if I were found out?" looked him in the eye.
"There are no ifs. He repeated it again. After eating the rice in the bowl with pleasure, he muttered, "I will say that I let you go." There are no ifs, though. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Eat it and it will be cold for a while." ”
Xiao Shell watched him lazily lie back on the bed with a sore nose and damp eyes. He lowered his head and picked up a bowl full of rice, and shouted, "What else will I eat when the dishes are gone!"
The jade rabbit is promoted, and the second is more determined. Finally, it's time to go to bed again. The wick has been burning for a long time, and the sea has woken up five times. The sixth time he closed his eyes, opened them again, the corners of his mouth curled, and he pretended to be displeased: "Who is the sneaky outside?"
