Chapter 8 The gourd is difficult to open
Returning to the house the same way, Chen Yu, who did not alarm anyone, sat at the table. He casually threw down the "culprit" who still burned his thumb and immediately took off his boots.
I saw that the thumb of the big foot was swollen and tall, red like a swollen eggplant, and it seemed that it would be better in a few days.
"It's really unlucky, it's really nothing to look for, and sure enough, curiosity kills the cat. "First the man in black, then the unknown thing that hurt him. Chen Yu was a little depressed in his heart, and he regretted the decision he made tonight, after all, he almost lost his life.
Today's events directly led to Chen Yu being more cautious and cautious in everything.
"That's right, that thing. ”
After self-criticism, Chen Yu suddenly remembered the cold and shiny thing he brought back. When he took it in his hand, he saw that it was almost covered in dirt.
Carefully peeling off the wrapped soil, a dark green gourd about five inches long appeared in front of him, like jade but not jade, like wood but not wood, and his hand was cold.
An unknown golden symbol is inscribed on the top, and from the bottom extend a one-inch-long leaf, which sets off the gourd like a lotus flower. And the texture of the leaves is also golden.
Chen Yu was a little speechless, it was just such a thing that hit his foot like this. I don't know what is inside, Chen Yu thought so, and reached out to unscrew the gourd.
"Huh?" There was no feeling of pulling out the gourd stopper, Chen Yu twisted it again, but it still didn't work. Chen Yu took the gourd in front of him and took a closer look, and the entire gourd was connected. It seems that the literary ones are not good, and they have to come to some martial arts.
"Ahh Chen Yu, who had slowed down a little, threw the gourd on the ground, gathered enough sharp weapons, and picked up the stool under his buttocks.
With a "bang", the gourd was directly embedded in the stool, and due to the excessive force, Chen Yu's hands were also numb.
"It's over, will you have to pay for other people's stools? Chen Yu looked at the scene in front of him and was a little confused, the gourd was completely embedded in the stool, but the gourd was intact.
There was the footsteps of a group of people outside the door, and Chen Yu quickly pulled out the gourd and put on his shoes. It's just that there was a heart-rending pain in the process of putting on shoes, and Chen Yu looked like he was grinning.
Chen Yu put away the stool and quickly sat down, the whole room looked the same as before.
"Knock knock..."
"Gongzi Chen, are you going to bed?" there was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of Steward Li.
"Not yet, I don't know what?"
"Childe, the house was robbed, so I came to ask Childe if he saw any suspicious characters or found anything. Also, the young master asked me to wait to confirm your safety. Can we go in?"
"Uncle Lao Li and everyone, please come in. ”
"Then Chen Gongzi should rest early, it's really disturbing so late"
"Where, it's hard for Uncle Li to run so late. By the way, there are no valuables lost in the house, right?" Chen Yu asked curiously.
"I don't know. ”
"Oh, well. Uncle Li, you are busy first. Steward Li led everyone into the house, looked around, looked at Chen Yu sitting on the stool, chatted casually, and after confirming that everything was normal, he turned around and left.
Chen Yu looked at his feet and breathed a sigh of relief. After tossing all night, the whole person is tired, and if you don't sleep, it's time to get bright again.
.....
After a night without incident, Chen Yu, who was asleep, was woken up by a knock on the door. Lan Xiang came in with a basin of hot water and put it on the wooden chair, and then waited for Chen Yu, who was dressed, to get out of bed and make the bed again.
Chen Yu got up and washed his face, and his feet seemed to be swollen. Remembering last night's gourd, he took it out and cleaned it by the way.
"Ah, Childe, what a beautiful gourd. Lan Xiang, who had already packed up, came to Chen Yu's side and said in surprise.
"It's okay. By the way, Lanxiang, can you find me a rope so I can hang it around my neck. Chen Yu decided to take this mysterious gourd with him first, but it was inconvenient to carry it all the time, and he planned to find a rope to hang around his neck.
Lan Xiang looked at the gourd again, a little envious, her eyes were full of love and reluctance, after all, Chen Yu seemed to value this gourd very much. Lan Xiang looked tangled, and after changing her face a few times, she showed a resolute expression.
She turned her back, took a silver necklace from her neck, turned around and handed it to Chen Yu.
"Lan Xiang, that's not good. Chen Yu looked at the necklace in front of him and didn't dare to accept it, because this chain was a lot of wealth for Lan Xiang. What's more, being able to collect it close to her must be very important to her.
"Childe, you can take it. Although this chain has been with me for many years, I think it is more worthy of this gourd. I don't have to worry about food and clothing in the house, and it's useless to ask for it. ”
"But, it's too precious..."
"You just take it, this is Lan Xiang voluntarily gave it to you" After Chen Yu finished speaking, Lan Xiang stuffed the chain to Chen Yu.
"Thank you, Lanxiang, next time I'll give you something good. ”
"Childe doesn't have to be polite. Let's go, Childe, it's time for breakfast. ”
.....
It's still the place where he ate yesterday, but today's Han Yuanxing frowned, and he was absent-minded when eating. Everyone at the table was quietly eating their own food, and Chen Yu didn't dare to take a breath from the moment he sat down.
"Little Brother Chen, how was your rest last night, didn't it disturb you?" Han Yuanxing suddenly interrupted Chen Yu, looking very polite.
"Marshal Xie, everything was fine last night. ”
"Call me Uncle Han, you don't have to be so outside. I heard Qing'er say that you have nowhere to go, so stay in the mansion. You can stay as long as you want. ”
"Well, thank you, Uncle Han. Then Uncle Han also calls me Ah Yu. Chen Yu, who couldn't figure out Han Yuanxing's thoughts, could only silently agree and show goodwill.
"Okay, Ah Yu. Han Yuanxing seemed to be a little happier.
"Qing'er, Ah Yu has just arrived in Lin'an, you and Yu'er can go shopping with him after dinner. Han Yuanxing, who was in a slightly better mood, said to Han Qing.
"Yes, Dad. Han Qing happily agreed, and Han Yu, who was eating in the distance, also looked excited, eager to put down his rice bowl and go out immediately.
Seeing this, Chen Yu smiled slightly, this marshal's daughter is really lively. Towards the end, Han Yu went out quietly, and he didn't know what to do.
......
"Brother Chen, let's go. After eating, Han Qing went out for a trip, and when he came back, he said to Chen Yu, who had not finished eating.
"Well, okay. Chen Yu put down the dishes and chopsticks and wiped his mouth.
"Don't you two want to leave me, Dad said I could go. Han Yu seemed to be particularly afraid of being left behind, so he ran over from a distance.
"Little sister, isn't this waiting for you. ”
"Hehe, brother, let's discuss something. Han Yu's face was mischievous, and his eyes were rolling.
"Just say something. Han Qing rubbed Han Yu's head and said.
"Lend me some money, you have to buy a lot of things when you go out. I saw Han Yu jump away, holding the money bag from Han Qing's waist in his hand.
"Hehe, I already knew that you girl went back to get the money, but your pocket money didn't run out long ago. Let's go, you have covered the expenses of Brother Chen and I today. ”
"I don't care about you!"
Chen Yu couldn't help but smile when he looked at this scene.
"What are you laughing at? Hmph, Brother Yu, you won't buy anything today, right?" Han Yu drank Chen Yu, and immediately smiled and pasted it again.
"Let's go, if you don't go, it will be noon. After Han Qing finished speaking, he pulled Chen Yu and left.
"Wait for me! Die Han Qing..."
