Chapter 539: Catching Crickets
When Su Qian heard Xuan'er's words, she unconsciously showed distress in her eyes, hugged Xuan'er in her arms, patted Xuan'er's back lightly, and comforted: "Okay, don't cry, here is where Xuan'er There will be no food to eat, Xuan'er can eat as much as she wants, Miss and Uncle will always be with Xuan'er."
Xuan'er leaned against Su Qian's arms, her tears wet the gauze she was wearing, and she murmured with soft sobs: "Miss..."
During the festive season, I miss my relatives a lot.
It's probably not the first time that Xuan'er has cried like this, maybe every Mid-Autumn Festival, Xuan'er will curl up on the bed and sob secretly.
While touching Xuan'er's little head, Su Qian thought about the past. At that time, she was unresolved, and she didn't pay too much attention to Xuan'er. The previous Martial Dao Cultivation Base was not enough, and she didn't notice that every Mid-Autumn Festival The little maids in the festival mansion will cry secretly.
Maybe she still hoped that her mother would remember her in her heart.
After a long time, there was a sound of even breathing, and Xuan'er was already fast asleep.
Just when Su Qian was about to leave, she found that the little girl hugged her so tightly.
Su Qian sighed, rubbed Xuan'er's head, then stretched out her plain hand towards the candlelight, flicked her fingers lightly, and the lights in the room went out immediately.
...
Liuzhou
Taoyuan Inn
It was already late at this time, the little girl and Long Bing'er went back to the room early, Xu Qing also ate the mooncakes they brought, she was still a little hungry at first, but now she is not only full but even panicked.
Wei Xiong had already told himself the news from the Ming family in the afternoon.
Three days later, the Ming family and several other Rivers and Lakes gangs will hold a Martial Forest conference in the Ming family compound, and all Martial Forest heroes with a number plate in their hands can participate.
Tomorrow is the little girl's birthday, and Xu Qing specially ordered the manager of the Taoyuan Inn to remember to buy more fresh melons and fruits tomorrow.
The little girl has been thinking about her fruit cake for a long time.
Cake is good everywhere, but it is a bit laborious to whip the whipped cream.
Outside the window, the moonlight is like water, the sky is full of stars, and tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which can be described as a beautiful day.
This situation is worthy of a poem!
Xu Qing looked at the jade plate in the air, coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said:
"Moonlight in front of the bed,"
"It's suspected to be frost on the ground."
"Looking up at the bright moon,"
"Low your head...lower your head...how did you see Long Bing'er when you lowered your head? What is this girl doing at night?"
That's right, when Xu Qing lowered her head and was thinking about her hometown, she happened to see Long Bing'er in black walking out from the door of Taoyuan Inn, where is this girl going at such a late hour?
At this time, it was already past midnight, and the night markets on the street were almost scattered, and the only thing that could be heard was the sound of the beaters.
Looking at the direction Long Binger was going, it seemed to be the Ming family...
What did he go to Ming's house for?
Thinking of this, Xu Qing first took something from the box under the bed, and then went downstairs.
...
Ming family
Long Bing'er was dressed in black and covered her face with a black veil, which almost blended into the night, making her easily escape one after another night patrolling guards of the Ming family, and went straight to the direction of the study.
She got lost because she had a poor sense of direction, especially in a strange place with many people and no reference.
But now it was late at night, and the streets were sparsely populated, so naturally she would not have the trouble of finding her way.
The autumn wind was rustling, rustling the trees, just covering the sound of Long Binger's footsteps.
Just as Long Binger was walking straight to the study, he suddenly saw two Ming family guards coming towards him. Long Binger hid behind a big tree in a blink of an eye, but she didn't want to be in a hurry. Accidentally stepped on a broken branch that fell behind a tree.
"Crack——"
The sound of a branch being trampled off was extremely ear-piercing in the quiet autumn night.
This voice made Long Bing'er feel alarm bells ringing in his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
The guard Lao Zhang who was on patrol looked at the guard Liu Si beside him and said a little strangely: "I seem to have heard a voice over there just now."
Liu Si said: "I heard it too, it seems to be coming from behind the tree."
Lao Zhang nodded and said, "Go over and have a look, and don't let any thieves sneak in."
Liu Si nodded, and walked behind the tree with Lao Zhang.
Just as Liu Si and Lao Zhang were getting closer to the big tree, there was a burst of crickets "chirp chirp chirp chirp".
Lao Zhang stopped and said, "I thought it was a cricket."
"Cricket?!" Liu Si immediately became interested after hearing it.
Lao Zhang wondered, "Why are you so excited about crickets?"
Liu Si hehe said: "You don't know, when I was free yesterday, I lost my general when I was fighting crickets with that guy Wang Er. Look at how loud this cricket is, it will definitely kill me. The one that lost to Wang Er will come back again, hurry up and catch it for me."
Lao Zhang frowned and said, "We are still on patrol, if you miss the errand, you are not afraid that the housekeeper will punish you and me?"
Liu Si patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder: "Old Zhang, when did you say you were so afraid of things?"
Lao Zhang said: "It's not a matter of being afraid of things. The owner of the house has ordered it. These days, there must be no mistakes."
Liu Sidao: "You have the skill to speak and help me catch it, hurry up, how long will it take to catch a cricket? Hurry up, hurry up."
Lao Zhang reluctantly agreed to him: "Okay, okay, hurry up, you will be punished if you neglect the housekeeper."
Liu Si waved his hand, and got closer to the tree: "I know, I know."
Long Bing'er behind the tree became even more nervous at this time. The last time she read Xu Qing's script, it was clearly described that if someone found out and imitated the cricket call, they would think there was no problem and leave.
fraud!
Xu Qing is a big liar!
This trick doesn't work at all!
If there is any sound of crickets, they will all come over!
The same goes for the two guards, if they don't patrol well, why are they fighting crickets when they have nothing to do?
What's so fun about cricket fighting? !
No wonder he is still a guard now!
...
Hearing the sound of those two people's footsteps getting closer, Long Bing'er couldn't help but feel a sinking heart, stomped her feet for the last time, and stepped out.
When Liu Si and Lao Zhang saw the figure flashing out, before they could open their mouths, they were each hit with a scabbard on their necks and fainted to the ground.
After Long Bing'er knocked Liu Si and Lao Zhang unconscious, she glanced at them, and then continued to sneak towards the study.
Although these two people can't wake up for a short time now, there are two less people patrolling in the courtyard, and they will soon be discovered by the stewards of the Ming family.
At that time, they are afraid that they will become vigilant, and if they fail this time, they will definitely be prepared.
If you want to succeed, it will be even more difficult!
