Chapter 42 The River
There are flowers in spring and moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter. If you have no worries about your heart, it is a good time on earth.
This is a saying that the head of the Ji family has always been talking about. The Ji family, which is indifferent to the world, has been respected by all the families. As the third place, it has also steadily surpassed the Li family, which ranks fourth.
It is probably because the Cong Guo families had a fierce dispute, which led to the Ji family's constant viewing and no one was in charge.
However, it also shows from another perspective that the head of the Ji family’s hometown does not seem to be simple.
Xiaohe lowered his head and walked back all the way.
At present, this group of people attaches great importance to one thing, and such things may play an important role in a short period of time. The people from Guo Cong's family came first to test, while the head of Ji avoided it without a trace, and each implied that the two families were fine. Of course, the methods were not particularly clever, but dealing with the two children was enough.
Xiaohe was thinking about it in the room he had assigned.
She is still a little girl, but she is too mature. When the third brother saw her away, she said with satisfaction that she is now far beyond her peers... Do you want him to run a club? Xiaohe frowned and shook his head to shake this idea. No matter how good the third brother treats her, she is still locked up in Gu Changtian. She has suffered so much and wonders what he does - but it seems that it is not their fault to be kidnapped at the beginning. Strictly speaking, they rescued her from Yancheng-
"I want to do it seriously!" Xiaohe buried his head in the pillow. The important thing now is to see if he can get that thing! Then give it to Miss Duer.
"Xiaoyu? I've already rested! What are you doing?" someone asked in the house immediately.
"I-I miss home. Woo-woo." Xiaohe-no, she called Xiaoyu in the mansion and sat up in a hurry, her eyes red, "Sorry, Sister Zhuer, Xiaohe misses home. I can't sleep."
The man walked over and saw Xiaohe's appearance. He looked at it and then sighed, "It's normal that you are not used to it when you first arrived. You'll be fine in a few days. Go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow to work."
"Yes, thank you sister Zhuer." Xiaohe responded quickly, showing a look of gratitude.
Watching Zhu'er stand back to the door, Xiaohe lay down and covered himself with a quilt, breathing a sigh of relief.
The subordinates of the Ji family are extremely strict in their control. Everyone has a specific place to go. At night, there is a dedicated person in each room to be awake. In addition, there is also an extremely strict reporting system. The entire Ji family looks loose on the outside, but in fact it is like an iron barrel.
As for the reasons, they also found them very well. It is said that the concubine of the younger brother of the hometown owner had a mercy with the servant, so the rules were set. People naturally would not think too much when they were so cuckolded.
That is, Xiaohe held the old man's lifeline and asked the old man to frivolously report the young man's leave. He also pretended that Xiaohe was a distant relative. Although he was far away, he knew the roots and bottom of the river, so he protected the river into it.
Xiaohe slowly closed his eyes and nourished his energy. He couldn't go to the evening, so he could only go in the morning.
Duer, who was thinking about him on the side of Xiaohe, was still lying on the bed and sighing.
The wild boar brought back today was so high that when the chef cut the fur, he saw only thick fur and thin meat. It was not the fat that Duer imagined.
Several big men who came back surrounded him curiously and were also a little surprised. They comforted Duer and said that when they carried it, it was still very heavy. It was unexpected that the wild boar was not fat.
Although I finally made soup with wild boar bones, Duer, who had too high expectations, was still disappointed.
Rejecting the suggestion of using leather to make clothes, Duer gave the fur to someone and returned to the room and lay on the bed humming.
But suddenly I felt a little quiet-
After touching it around, I found that there was a lack of a furry touch, "Where did Ah Qian run?"
She rarely comes back after working day and night these days, how about she sleep?
Duer got up and hurriedly looked out.
"Akuan-Akuan Where are you?"
Bypassing the corridor, walking through the garden, passing by the conference hall...
There is no furry figure in her arms, and love is in her arms... She is not a passionate person, but once she is kept by her side, she will treat her like a relative. Is it angry that it has no time to pay attention to it? Or is it caught and stewed with soup? It won't run quietly to the city gate and be killed by someone by mistake? She hates people who are arbitrary and irresponsible the most, but for Akuen, has she become such a person?
"What's wrong?"
Duer looked back and found it was Ronghua.
"Are you looking for a master?" Duer frowned, "The master has gone to the city wall, not here."
"No, I'll come to you."
Duer looked at Ronghua when he heard this.
"The city seems a little uneasy, but there seems to be nothing wrong at the moment. I secretly sent someone to find the rich child you mentioned, and there is no trace. So don't worry too much, and don't take it lightly."
Duer nodded and signaled to know and continued to search.
"What the hell is going on?"
Duer hesitated for a moment and said, "It's my little beast. I met the one I brought back on the road. I have been too busy these days so I didn't care about it. Now I'm missing."
When Ronghua heard this, he frowned slightly and immediately said, "It's okay, I'll send someone to find him."
"Isn't this right? It's my private matter—" Duer hesitated. His private matter is a private matter. It's a favor for others to help you, and it's a duty not to help you. Duer doesn't expect this. Moreover, the situation in the city is still very complicated now, and it's really unreasonable to work for others.
Ronghua actually glared at Duer when he heard this, "We have saved a lot of things because of you. Now they can help you, but they don't know how happy they are."
"I volunteered to help, but now-"
Ronghua stopped looking at Duer, "Do you think I'm saying you're repaying kindness?"
This is really a little angry.
Most of the time, Ronghua is warm and calm in his work. No matter how anxious he is, he does not lose his attitude. When he is angry, he does not beat or scold him, which makes people feel instantly condensed. It makes people feel particularly uncomfortable.
Duer was startled by him and quickly explained, "I'm not--"
"You are not, you just don't believe that others are kind to you." The master at the door stepped in and rolled his eyes directly. "Look at your reaction, you will know that when the city started scolding you, you were so calm. Even if you do these things alone, you will be a little disturbed when you are scolded. Only you have no reaction, because in your heart this is what they should do. No matter what they do, they are their business, so you don't think there is anything at all."
"I-" Duer suddenly didn't know what to say.
"This is not all your fault. Maybe you rarely encounter such times. But it is their own business if they want to help you? Didn't you say that little beast is very important? How long does it take to look for it alone? If there is something, you can rest assured and don't let Ronghua help you. I won't let the old man feel at ease when I come back." The master said to Duer with a grudge.
That way, it's almost like saying it out loud: Go quickly and coax people.
Duer realized that the master was here to smooth things over. After thinking about it, he bowed, "Mr. Rong, that little beast is really important to me. When I think of me missing it because of negligence, I feel very uncomfortable. Please worry about it and look for it."
Ronghua wanted to hang Duer, but when he saw Duer was really anxious, he said, "For your urgency, I will not be difficult for you. The person who followed me has already gone after I got my sign. You can draw it carefully first so that you can find it accordingly."
Duer thanked me quickly, and looked at Ronghua's appearance and felt a little warm.
Duer wrote very quickly and quickly took it out and handed it to Ronghua. He also added a sentence, "He looks pretty easy to identify."
Ronghua was about to turn around and caught a glimpse of the paper in his hand, and couldn't help but pause.
There are two circles, one big and one small, and there is a small triangle on top of the small one.
What does the little beast of the Duer family look like?
"That's it?" Ronghua shook the paper in his hand to confirm.
Duer looked carefully and his old face turned red, "I took it wrong and got it wrong. This is what I used when I practice."
Turning around and going back to the house, he took another one for Ronghua.
When Ronghua saw that the corner of his mouth twitched, it was better than the previous one, one with two circles, one with one with two triangles, two lines below, one with one straight, and one with a fold line.
When Duer saw Ronghua's face, he couldn't help but say embarrassedly, "I think this is OK. Look, this is the head, this is the body, this is the mouth, this is the two legs." He pointed to the small circle, the large circle, the triangle, and the two lines in turn.
It's really not her fault, she doesn't know how to do it!
Ronghua's mouth twitched, and he forced himself to understand, "Is it a broken place here meant to be lame?"
"No, no - I'm drawing the side. When it becomes arrogant, it likes to bend one leg and stretch one leg. Usually, if you mess with it, it looks like this and is easy to recognize!" Duer explained seriously.
If Ronghua hadn't seen Duer look like he was not fake, he would have thought Duer was cheating on him.
Sighing helplessly, Ronghua dragged Duer into the room, "You said, I'll draw."
Duer blinked, but didn't react.
Seeing this, Ronghua said again, "You talk about the characteristics, I will draw it for you."
"Oh—oh, it's like a bird, with two wings and two legs-"
Ronghua put down the pen that he had already raised, "Duer," this time he called Duer's name directly, "You must be very anxious, you show it is okay. You have to tell me the specific characteristics, okay? You are very calm and you have done a good job. Now, we have to draw it slowly to find it as soon as possible."
When Duer heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Wouldn't he calm down? He looked for it in order. Can Ronghua still talk to him when he comes. Are he really not calm?
Ronghua shook the paper in his hand as a voucher. "When you are awake, you will think that this can find your little beast?"
The voice is calm, neither slow nor anxious.
Duer stopped moving. If the reason before was as far away as a kite, the reason now was like a kite when it was retracted, and as the string was pulled, it slowly returned to the cage.
Chapter completed!
