Chapter 9: Ants


Hearing this, Wang Cheng stumbled at his feet, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he forced himself to laugh dryly: "Is it, it's just the middle of the month?"

I'm too confused, brother, it's not early, if you don't go back, your sister-in-law should scold again, I'll go first. ” As he spoke, he walked forward, his steps getting faster and faster, and he even panicked a little, and several times he almost tripped over the gravel on the rocky beach.

After running for a while, he turned his head slightly to look back, and found that no one was following, so he breathed a sigh of relief, smoothed the breath in his chest, and still didn't dare to stop under his feet, and ran towards the shore with a sway.

The market is in front of him, bypassing the big stone in front of him that is more than one person high, you can run out of the river beach, the tense heartstrings slowly relaxed, he snorted and panted, and his heart has begun to calculate how heavy the "heavy reward" is, whether it is enough for him to set up a stall for half a year.

"Kala" There was the sound of stones rolling behind him.

Wang Cheng turned around, but the back was empty, and there was not even a ghost.

He pursed his lips and just turned his head around, but a man came out from behind the boulder, holding an axe that shone with a cold light.

The noise of the wharf gradually increased, and another ship arrived at the port, and the porters scrambled for the goods.

However, Wang Cheng could no longer hear, and he lay on the stinking riverbank, with a thrilling wound on his forehead, and a frighteningly white skull was faintly visible in it.

Xun'er was gobbling up zongzi, and wiped out two of them in a while.

The zongzi is made of glutinous rice, and there is no other stuffing inside, only a layer of osmanthus nectar is coated on the outside, which is sweet and cool, soft and glutinous.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Yan Niang took a bowl of porridge and put it next to him, and asked Cheng Muyou, who was sitting on the side, with a smile, "The adults haven't had breakfast yet, do you want to have a few zongzi, the right ear is skillful, and the neighbors are full of praise for what he makes." ” Cheng Muyou shook his head, "No need, I'm here to thank the girl, listen to the pity, you saved her life in Tamsui Town, I think, if the girl is a man, I'm afraid I'm grateful to make a promise." ” "I don't dare to ask for it, that girl is short-tempered, if anyone marries her, I'm afraid she will have a peaceful birthday in a few days."

Xun'er reluctantly put down the plate, "I also think, Daddy, don't let your sister get married, just let her live with us all the time and be Xun'er's sister all the time." ” "Even if there is something delicious, it can't occupy your mouth," Cheng Mu You patted him on the door of the head, and then hesitated to put a sandalwood box that he had been holding in his hand on the stone table, "This is Angelica Angelica Pill, taking it internally can invigorate blood and drain pus, build muscle and relieve pain, the girl was hit hard last time, although the wound has grown, but the inside is still empty, taking a pill every day can help your body." ” Yan Niang didn't take the box, she stared at Cheng Muyou faintly, her eyes were like stars, "Adults don't have anything to ask me?"

” "Yes," Cheng Muyou smiled faintly, "It is said that the scales have miraculous effects, after taking it, it can not only reduce inflammation and stop bleeding, latent yang and reduce steaming, but also get rid of boredom, making people feel calm, I don't know if the girl can feel it?"

” "I didn't feel the function of Scale, but the visit to the Humble House today made me feel a lot more at ease."

Xun'er raised her head from the plate again, "Daddy, Yan Niang, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing, why can't I understand a word." ” "Your Excellency, your Excellency."

Jiang Xixi suddenly pushed the door in, she didn't have time to say hello to Yan Niang, so she walked straight to Cheng Muyou's side, "My lord, Wang Cheng's daughter-in-law came to report the case, saying that Wang Cheng didn't go home all night. ” Cheng Muyou didn't say a word, "Teng" stood up and strode towards the door.

Looking at his departing figure, Yan Niang frowned slightly, "Another one?"

It's looking more and more complicated. ” "Yan Niang is talking about the two armless corpses?"

Xun'er finally finished eating the zongzi, he raised his head and said this sentence slowly.

Yan Niang sat down next to him, "Xun'er also heard about this case?"

” "It's spread all over the city, how could I not know?"

He pursed his lips and stared at Yan Niang with big black eyes, "Yan Niang, you say, what is the murderer's arm for?"

” Yan Niang squinted at him, "Xun'er has her own opinions?

” "I often watch them play with insects in the academy, and Xiao Jiu likes to pull off the wings of dragonflies the most, I don't know how many dragonflies have been killed by him."

"And then?

Where did he get the dragonfly's wings?

” "Hey the ants."

Xun'er said these words slowly.

Mrs.

Qiao looked in through the window, Shen Qing was sitting at the table, holding a book in his hand and flipping through it, he was wearing a linen shirt, the corner of the shirt was torn, and it was patched up by a piece of blue cloth at random, and he was wearing a pair of cloud-toed boots, which looked like he had been wearing them for several years, and the toe of the shoes was polished.

"Madam, what kind of tea do you want for your uncle?"

A little maid asked beside her.

"What kind of uncle is not uncle, I haven't married my daughter to him yet," Mrs.

Qiao waved at her impatiently, "the water is boiling, just soak in a pot." ” Seeing that the little girl was far away, she was still not angry in her heart, and muttered to herself: "The master doesn't know what to think, but he agrees with the girl and leaves, and the harmony is also here, and now, he actually married her to this poor boy."

You see that this poor and sour body, when you come to the house, you take two bags of tea, and it is not enough to be ashamed to say it. ” As he was talking, a slight cough sounded behind him, and Master Qiao had arrived beside her at some point, he glared at Mrs.

Qiao, "This son-in-law is not my choice, Fengyi has no objection to herself, if you have any dissatisfaction, just talk about it with me, don't bother your daughter." ” Mrs.

Qiao didn't dare to say anything, she pouted, and walked into the front hall with Master Qiao.

Seeing the second elder of the Qiao family walking in, Shen Qing was a little excited, and before he had time to say hello, he put down the book and walked to Master Qiao's side, "Uncle Qiao, I have something I want to discuss with you." ” "What is the matter in such a hurry?"

Master Qiao has never seen Shen Qing so anxious, on weekdays, he is always a fool and slowly, and he can't beat a fart with a stick.

"I want to be an official in the court."

Master Qiao was stunned, "Haven't you always been interested in being an official?"

Why did you suddenly change your mind?

” "Uncle Qiao, this is not my whim, the reason why I was reluctant to join the WTO in the past was because I couldn't look down on those flies and dogs in the officialdom, but now I have found out that I actually don't disdain to be in the company of them, but have been avoiding being in the company of those people, I, Shen Qing, have lived for so many years, and I have been a turtle with a shrunken head."
