After the woman finished speaking, a glaring light suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Shi's eyes. She squinted her eyes and woke up from the dream.It is already morning.

Xiao Shi was thinking about the things in his dream, and he didn't have the heart to eat breakfast, so he put down his chopsticks when he got stuck in the third bowl.

She sighed: "Oh, no appetite."

Butler: "..." Are the three empty bowls in front of you fake?

Having said that, compared to the past, the young lady did not eat much today, which is the amount of food for an adult man who fights with bears in the deep mountains and old forests every day.

Xiao Shi pondered for a while, and the more he thought about it, the weirder he became: "Have you ever heard of Tuomeng, using the dream to tell the other party what you want to say."

The housekeeper thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Someone entrusted you with a dream to let you eat less?"

He said with a grateful look on his face.

Xiao Shi: "..."

Sitting here tangled, but unable to figure out any answers, Xiao Shi changed into a simple long skirt and decided to go to the market.She remembered something again, and passed a layer of dark cloak outside.

There were as many people in the bazaar as ever, except for the hawkers who lined up on both sides of the road, there were not too few itinerant merchants coming and going, and it was not easy to find someone among them.

Xiao Shi walked for a while, and found a group of people at the entrance of an alley ahead.A few soldiers stood guard at the entrance of the alley, telling them not to squeeze together impatiently.

Xiao Shi heard the conversation of several street vendors nearby.

"Hey, I thought she was pitiful before. I heard she said that there are brothers and sisters to take care of at home, and she has given her a lot of food. I didn't expect it."

"After she was found stealing my money, she used the same excuse. Who would have known that the two children had been killed by her long ago."

"How did you die?"

"It is said that they were forced to eat stones and choked to death. Have you seen the bodies of the two children? There is a big bulge in the stomach, and it is full of stones!"

"My heart is so black, no wonder I get black streak disease..."

Several people sighed for a while, the word "black streak" was a taboo, they quickly shut up and didn't say anything more.

This fact is really appalling, Xiao Shi listened to the chill, how cold-blooded did he have to be to kill his family members in such a cruel and inhumane way?

There was another commotion among the crowd, and a few soldiers came out of the alley, and among them was a girl with her head bowed, her bare calves and neck covered with black patterns.

"Devil!" Someone shouted angrily, "You are a murderous demon!"

The girl raised her head and gave the man a hard look. Most of her face was covered with black lines, and there was blood around her mouth. Coupled with her resentful expression, it was very scary.

Xiao Shi let out an "ah" and froze on the spot. He recognized that the other party was the girl who stole Ethan's money and was forced to eat rocks. To save her, she and Ethan even had a fight over it. , It has been a hot topic in the Philippines for several days.

And somehow, it has been passed from such a politically charged content as "the two nobles of Norman and Sussex have conflicts" to-"Shocked! The two noble ladies of Norman and Sussex are actually going to fight for a poor girl." Make a big move!"

Very UC style.

Wait... Does this stone appear a little too often?Why did Ethan let that girl swallow stones then?A guess appeared in Xiao Shi's mind, did she already know it?

After the girl disappeared from sight, a military officer came out of the alley, and Xiao Shi looked intently, it was Ethan.

The girl's short silver hair was a little messy, and there was a large amount of blood on her face, as if she had been injured.Eyelids lowered slightly, the golden pupils were indifferent, but subtly mixed with a gloomy hostility, making people afraid to approach.

He was a completely different person from the guy who counted his hair and made him angry at the Sunday banquet.

"Let's go!" Seeing the officer come out, his subordinates quickly dispersed the crowd, "Crowding here will cause congestion, please disperse!"

Quite a few people didn't move, they gathered together in groups of three or four, discussing what happened just now.There were a few others covering their mouths while staring at the young officer, talking furtively.

Ethan walked over expressionlessly, and under the trembling gazes of several people, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth, against the large area of ​​bright red blood on his face, he smiled like a ghost: "Why, do you want to tell me?" I listen?"

Xiao Shi sighed deeply: Wow... How on earth did she make such an expression that looked like a horror movie with special effects?

After dispersing the crowd, Ethan pinched his brows and said, "Go and contact the chief judge, I'll be patrolling here."

Hearing this indifferent tone, several subordinates knew that the chief was in a bad mood, so they rushed to respond, and just wanted to slap his ass and leave.

At this moment, a hand suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, and then that hand gently grabbed the sleeve of the officer, and tugged shyly.

Subordinate: "!!!" It's over!It's going to kill someone!

Ethan's face darkened, and he turned around impatiently, only to hear a voice as sweet as expired honey: "What a coincidence, we meet again."

She couldn't help shaking, and almost couldn't resist punching the opponent's face, but after seeing the person coming, Ethan stopped punching, but was startled, and took a few steps back.

Subordinate: "???"

Xiao Shi smiled happily, like a sunflower in full bloom, so bright that it almost blinded Ethan's eyes, and said sweetly: "Oh, we are so destined."

Ethan was silent, then took another step back, and asked seriously: "...Did you fall somewhere?"

Xiao Shi's face was filled with sincere one hundred thousand whys: "?"

Ethan tentatively asked, "For example, if you hit your head, you can't control your expression and tone?"

Xiao Shi's face twitched, and he smirked and said, "Would you like to experience for yourself what 'uncontrollable' is?"

Ethan was slightly relieved when he saw that she had returned to her familiar tone and posture, and took back her steps in satisfaction.

Glancing at his subordinates who were still in a daze, Ethan looked unhappy: "What are you still doing here?"

The subordinates left quickly.

Ethan folded his hands on his chest, and said in a cold tone, "What's the matter with you?"

Xiao Shi scratched his cheeks, no longer pretending to be brilliant just now, and said dryly: "Did you...know what that girl did, that's why you did that in the tavern that day?"

Ethan raised his brows, but he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to bring up this topic, and gave a faint "hmm".

Xiao Shi's voice became even softer, feeling guilt and doubt at the same time: "Then why didn't you just arrest her then, I misunderstood you."

"It's not that simple. She was sheltered by the nobles. I heard about the Rimbaud family. You should know that as long as the nobles are involved, everything will become complicated. If it wasn't because she was infected with black spot will not be sent to prison."

Ethan smiled mockingly: "My subordinates found the bodies of those two children. They were thrown by the garbage dump in the fringe area with their bulging stomachs. When they picked them up, stones fell from their mouths. Later, I saw that woman living a carefree life. Since there is no way to send her to the execution ground to die simply, I want her to experience the feeling that life is worse than death, at least not to let those two children suffer in vain. .did not expect--"

Xiao Shi's body was stiff, wishing he could bury his head in the ground.

Ethan glanced at her: "I didn't expect that you would be killed halfway. The beating was quite fierce."

Xiao Shi blushed and shouted, "I'm really sorry!"

After she finished yelling, she moved her face closer to Ethan, closed her eyes and pointed at her cheek, and said in a rough voice, "Hit me back, I will never fight back!"

The corner of Ethan's mouth twitched, he put his hand on Xiao Shi's face, and pushed it away in disgust.

Xiao Shixuan was about to cry, and he stretched his neck to get closer: "If you don't beat me up, I really have a bad conscience."

I don't know if Xiao Shi turned guilt into strength and used too much force. Her mouth directly stuck to Ethan's palm, making a loud "boo".

Xiao Shi: "..." A second later, she decided to open her mouth to explain, but Nai He forgot to shrink her face back, so she kept this movement, opened her mouth and made another "boo" accidentally.

Ethan's face changed as quickly as the lights in a nightclub, green, red, blue, green and purple flashed across, and finally stopped at a black face that could squeeze ink.

Xiao Shi clearly felt Ethan's anger, as if he was about to reach out and beat her up in the next second.His eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to say: "Hit! Hit! Hurry up and hit me!"

The hospitality and hope in her eyes were like shit falling from the sky, extinguishing Ethan's anger, leaving only aggrieved and exhausted.

Ethan: I am obviously a young girl, but I experienced the vicissitudes of the world prematurely.

Wiping his drool-smeared palm, Ethan said with a headache, "You don't have to blame yourself, you didn't know the reason at the time."

Xiao Shi let out a muffled "Oh", and Ethan could see the unwillingness on her face.

Ethan:......Are you so unwilling not to get beaten up!

Reluctantly, she stuck her five fingers into her hair, and her already disheveled silver hair became even more arrogant and unruly: "In other words, if you stand up in that situation, doesn't it mean that you are a very good person? At least in my opinion Among the aristocrats you know, you are in the top five of 'pretty personal'."

Xiao Shi: What kind of strange ranking is this?

She thought about it, and although she still felt guilty in her heart, she puffed out her chest honestly and proudly: "Yes, is it?"

Ethan, who didn't know why he wanted to comfort the other party, said with a blank face: "Yes."

Xiao Shi felt that the red scarf on his chest was more colorful.

She turned her head to look at Ethan, her face full of love and compassion, she felt how beautiful and cute no matter how she looked, and she could go to the sky and become an angel with two wings.

Ethan didn't know what kind of nerve the other party committed, so he could only keep a wooden face.

"By the way, are you injured?" Seeing the blood on the other party's face, Xiao Shi asked worriedly, how could anyone take action against such a kind girl.

Ethan pointed to the blood on his face: "You mean this?"

Xiao Shi was so distressed that he couldn't breathe: "Yes."

Ethan: "It's not mine, it's that woman who vomited."

Xiao Shi: "Huh?"

Ethan smiled: "I vomited."

Xiao Shi suddenly felt that his heart didn't hurt anymore, and he was out of breath enough to do three hundred push-ups on the ground.

The two walked around the market, Ethan had serious business to do and wanted to patrol, but Xiao Shi idly followed her like a little tail, just looked around without saying a word.

Ethan: "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Shi was vague: "Look for someone."

Ethan: "You went to the market to find someone?"

Xiao Shi: "He's a businessman."

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Ethan didn't pursue her further.The market area of ​​Wangdu is still quite large, and it takes several hours to complete a round of training, which is not easy.Seeing that it was already evening, Ethan went into a tavern after finishing his work, borrowed a sink to wash his face, and ordered a simple dinner.

Xiao Shi was also tired from walking, so he sat face-to-face with Ethan, ordered the most luxurious set meal, and expressed that he would have dinner together.

Ethan couldn't push anyone away, she was the only one who frowned slightly on weekdays, and the people who gathered around her pretended to be afraid of contracting the virus, and quickly left.

But Xiao Shi would approach him more happily: "Do you finally want to hit me?"

Ethan's face was full of sorrow, and he could only helplessly let the other party make trouble.
