Wearing books: relying on family wealth to start a decadent career

Late nights in Tancheng are always relaxing.

After your eyes have adapted to the darkness, you will also see some scenery that you would not notice during the day. The treetops are raised high, and a few flying insects will disappear into the dense branches and leaves.

When walking on the road, you can hear the buzzing of insects.

Three black shadows flashed past, startling the grass at their feet.

"Wait for me for a while, you guys." A weak voice sounded from the end, her feet stepped into the grass, and she didn't know if she hit something that scared her and opened her mouth to shout silently.

He jumped as fast as he could to catch up with the two people in front.

She was so focused on rushing forward that she didn't notice that the two men stopped, and suddenly bumped into the gap between their shoulders.

"We're here." Ming Huaying reminded in a low voice.

Ji Huatao became excited and followed them inside.

After staying inside for only a while, the door was opened, and only two people came out, minus Ji Huatao.

Behind the closed door is a courtyard with lights on. There is a stone table in the courtyard. A man is sitting patiently pouring water to make tea. The other man reluctantly takes off the brocade handkerchief from his mouth and sighs resignedly. , and when he saw this person, he snorted and turned his head to express his dissatisfaction.

"Sister Aying, isn't this good?" Xiaofeng couldn't help but look back after coming out of Mingchuan's yard, looking at Minghuaying worriedly.

However, Ming Huaying felt no burden. She tightened her hair again and said, "What's wrong? Ah Tao may be in danger if he follows us. At least there is water to drink at Ah Chuan's place."

It doesn't seem impossible to say this.

Xiaofeng nodded clearly, then looked at the direction he was walking and asked, "Then where are we going? Is there any problem here?"

Ming Huaying paid attention to the roadside at her feet and said: "I came here once in the afternoon and didn't see anything, but Achuan said that the strange thing was discovered at night. I was worried that it would be unsafe here, so I came to explore the road."

"Just the two of us?"

"Xu Suiran and the others should have arrived and are probably waiting for us somewhere."

Upon hearing this, Xiaofeng felt relieved and stepped over a toad on the roadside to follow.

After turning a corner, I finally found the figures of two people in a corner.

Pei Zhen looked at Ming Huaying with a smile on his face: "Cousin, what do you need me to do?"

Ming Huaying was startled when she saw him, and asked the people on the side puzzledly: "Didn't you say you wanted to bring a powerful person here? Why did you bring Pei Zhen?"

When Pei Zhen heard this, he immediately opened his mouth to refute, but was glared back.

Xu Suiran looked at them funny and explained to Ming Huaying: "Pei really has a good memory. If he can't beat him, he can run away by himself."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding area was quiet for a moment. It was not until someone hummed that Huaying responded.

"also."

Ming Huaying walked ahead to find a suitable position. Xu Suiran followed and whispered in her ear: "I didn't want to bring him here. I just happened to meet him when I went back to find someone. You also know Pei Zhen's temper. If you don't bring him, no way."

How could Ming Huaying not know this? He was extremely curious and had many clever ideas. Fortunately, he could protect himself.

In Mingchuan's courtyard, there was still the steaming pot of tea on the stone table. One person was still drinking tea calmly, while the other person turned his head and looked away.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Huatao quietly rubbed her neck, which was stiff from being in one position for a long time, and cleared her throat at the cup placed next to her. Seeing that Mingchuan didn't respond, she felt relieved and went to get the cup of tea.

The tea slid down her throat and was moistened a lot. She shouted to the man: "Hey, how long are you going to lock me up?"

Mingchuan put down his teacup and took out a book from nowhere, opened it and said, "Wait until sister comes back."

Ji Huatao was furious. She knew that Ming Huaying had other ideas when he promised to take her out. She was afraid that she would be left behind and forgotten, so she would cling to her.

Who would have thought that she was already so obedient and still being locked up.

The more Ji Huatao thought about it, the angrier he became. He forgot that the tea in his hand was still tea that had only been left to dry for a while, and took a big gulp of it.

She looked at the cup in her hand and was stunned for a moment. Mingchuan noticed the movement and looked at her in confusion: "Isn't it hot?"

hot!

Ji Huatao's eyes filled with tears, he forced himself to swallow it, and said firmly: "It's not hot!"

Ming Huaying looked at the high courtyard wall and fell into deep thought. She looked at the stunned expressions of the three people around her and hesitated: "How about..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt a gust of wind blowing by her ears, and then she saw a thin figure standing on the wall with a little help.

She gripped the wall tightly and whispered to the people below: "I'll catch you up."

Ming Huaying hesitated to speak, not wanting to dampen Xiaofeng's interest.

A person next to me said quickly: "Miss Xiaofeng, just go down and open the door for us."

Ming Huaying listened to the soft sound of landing, and heard footsteps walking towards the door. Thinking of Xiaofeng's figure climbing the wall just now, she became curious about Xiaofeng's identity for the first time.

After entering the door, several people groped forward against the wall. The courtyard was dark, and it didn't even look like anyone was living in the house.

Xiaofeng walked in front, carefully paying attention to the movements around him, carefully avoiding things on the ground, and leaning against the door to listen to the movements inside.

Finally, he shook his head at the three people behind him.

Nobody inside.

Pei Zhen breathed boldly and said cautiously: "What should I do? Are you still watching?"

Seeing that these people were silent, he yelled at the people around him: "We are breaking into a private house, so what if we are discovered?"

"Didn't you come with yourself?"

"That's right." Pei Zhen looked righteous and awe-inspiring, "So we can't do a good investigation before we are discovered? If you don't talk, I will feel unsure. I can't just go back like this."

Ming Huaying's back was against the wall, her eyes fixed on the surroundings, and she whispered: "I'm wondering if there are any other weird things in this yard?"

As soon as the last two words came out, Pei Zhen stared behind him nervously and couldn't help but move closer to these people.

Xiaofeng squatted down, put his hands on the ground and closed his eyes to feel it.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, and the three of them did not dare to speak for fear of disturbing Xiaofeng's concentration.

After a while, Xiaofeng's closed eyes opened, and those eyes shone with excitement.

"Have."

At the same time, Mingchuan's small courtyard was filled with the smell of ointment.

Ji Huatao held a mirror and a wooden stick dipped in medicine in his hand, and painfully applied medicine to his mouth.

The flesh on both sides of the teeth was burned, and Ji Huatao sighed miserably.

She hissed while applying medicine to herself while chatting incoherently with others.

"Mingchuan, do you have a brother?"

It took Mingchuan a long time to understand what she was talking about. He suppressed a smile and said, "No, it's just me and my sister."

Ji Huatao felt the pain and naturally blew on the ointment. After blowing on it twice, he realized something was wrong and put the ointment into his mouth as if nothing happened.

After hearing this, he took out the ointment, looked at him and asked, "Why is it so different from the first time you came to Jie Xige?"
