Chapter 124 Earthworms turning the soil
The servants in the general's mansion have relatively strict rules. Even if they hear some gossip, they will just go over it in their minds a few times and dare not speak out easily.
Yinxing has been living such a good life these days that he forgot about this.
She was a little panicked now and didn't know how to explain to Song Qingci.
"Okay, okay, if there's nothing, then there's nothing. I believe you. By the way, let me ask you, is there any movement from Butler Shan?" Song Qingci didn't really want to ask Yin Xing about anything, so he just said that.
If the people in the general's mansion really were discussing the same things as the people outside, then she would really have to take care of it.
Now is the time to catch the traitor, we can't allow any unnecessary trouble.
If Yinxing just chatted with her about gossip, then that would be nothing.
Yes, she is such a double standard~
When Yin Xing heard the question from Butler Shan, he quickly said, "Yes, he has sent his wife and children away. And he has not given up looking for Xu Chun's family."
When you feel danger, it is a conscience to send your family away in advance.
"Where are his family members now?" They already knew they were going to send him away. If they could really send him away, then all those people who were in charge would be punished.
"It was blown away by the wind." Yin Xing didn't know where it was exactly, but she knew it was blown away by the wind.
Song Qingci nodded to show that he understood.
It's been nearly half a month now, it's about time to close the net.
"Okay, then tell Feng Yi that we'll close the net tomorrow." Song Qingci said, then got up and left.
Yin Xing hurriedly followed, but was rejected by Song Qingci, "I'll go see Xiao Yu'er, you go to the small kitchen to see if Yin Ling has made any new snacks. If she has, send them to the guest house. If she doesn't have any new snacks, make some walnut cakes. Xiao Yu'er and I both love them."
She hasn't gone to see Xiaoyuer since she came back from Xiaowangzhuang.
"Yes, I'll go right away." Yinxing likes to go to the small kitchen very much. From time to time, she can eat some new snacks made by Yinling.
I never realized before that Yinling is so talented in cooking.
All those early years were wasted.
Song Qingci walked to the guest house by himself.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Li embroidering, and Xiao Yuer was lying on the ground in the yard with his butt sticking out, not knowing what he was looking at.
When Li saw her coming, she quickly put down the needle and thread in her hands, stood up and wanted to greet her, but was stopped by Song Qingci who raised a finger and made a hushing gesture.
Song Qingci pointed his finger in the direction of Xiao Yuer again, then tiptoed towards the small figure.
When she got closer, she found that there were several earthworms in front of the little fish, and they were struggling to crawl out.
Near the corner of the wall, you can vaguely see several more crawling out.
When Xiao Yuer saw the shadow on the ground, he turned back immediately, but forgot that he had been squatting with his butt sticking up for a long time. He lost his balance all of a sudden and was about to fall to the ground.
Song Qingci quickly reached out and picked up the small body.
"Aunt, you're here!" Xiao Yuer would always be excited when he saw Song Qingci.
The two dirty little fat hands wanted to grab Song Qingci.
Li looked at him and wanted to speak, but was stopped by his eyes.
Song Qingci held Xiao Yu'er in one hand and scratched his nose with the other hand, "What are you doing?!"
The tone was full of doting.
Many, many years ago, Song Qingci, who was still in China at the time, once lay on the fence of an orphanage and saw a child about the same age as Xiaoyuer.
He was acting cute with his mother on the way because he wanted to eat an ice cream.
She clearly remembered that the mother picked him up with one hand and scratched his little nose like this.
Then, his mother actually bought him an ice cream from a roadside mobile ice cream truck.
Song Qingci still remembers that the ice cream was two-colored, with a pink ball pressing on a white ball on an egg yolk-colored cone.
It looks very delicious.
She will never forget the smile on the little boy's face after he got the ice cream.
That was something she had never had before.
"Auntie, I'm looking at earthworms~" Xiao Yu'er's voice was very soft and sticky, "There were none here before, but they started to appear yesterday."
Xiaoyuer is in the yard all day.
After returning from Xiaowangzhuang, Li detained him and did not let him go out again.
At his age, he doesn't need to study and doesn't need to worry about his life.
It's a time to be carefree and have fun.
So he started playing around the yard, and these earthworms were his newfound joy.
"Auntie, look, the little earthworms are working very hard to turn the soil~" Xiao Yuer pulled Song Qingci in front of the earthworms and pointed them out to her.
These earthworms turning the soil are usually seen just before rain or after a heavy rain.
But, looking at the weather, it hasn’t rained recently.
Moreover, the appearance of these earthworms is somewhat strange no matter how you look at them.
Would a normal earthworm's movement while turning the soil be so big?! So twisted?!
A bad feeling suddenly flashed through Song Qingci's mind.
Song Qingci was very familiar with this feeling; it was her subconscious intuition about danger.
In the past, she had relied on this intuition to avoid many life-and-death crises. This time, she suddenly appeared, and her guard rose instantly.
She held Xiao Yu'er in front of Li and said, "Sister Li, let's go to Chixiaoyuan for dinner tonight. Yinling has prepared delicious dishes. I am here to treat you."
"How can I feel so embarrassed?" Li was a little embarrassed.
Although things have been calm recently, when she went to the kitchen to get something, she heard someone whispering that Xiaowangzhuang had been burned down.
She had been to Xiaowangzhuang, although only for a short while. But as soon as she arrived there, something happened in Xiaowangzhuang. She couldn't calm down and always felt that something was wrong.
She even suspected that she had a bad luck, as she always felt that something bad would happen wherever she went.
In such a dilemma, she really didn't dare to get too close to people, especially those who were willing to be nice to her and Xiao Yuer.
If it really was because she was cursed, then it would really be her fault.
"You're welcome. Let's go quickly. The food will get cold and won't taste good." After saying that, Song Qingci carried Xiao Yu'er and walked towards Chixiao Courtyard.
When Li saw this situation, she had nothing to say and followed.
When they reached the gate of Chixiao Courtyard, she returned Xiaoyu'er to Li and said, "Sister Li, I forgot that I had something to do. You can take Xiaoyu'er in first. The food is ready. You can eat first and don't have to wait for me. I will be back after I finish my business."
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Li's reply.
