Huo Zhenye got up early the next morning. There was no mirror in the small building of the Bai family, so he changed into a few suits, but he couldn't see what he looked like, so he pulled Ashura out as a staff officer.

"Axiu, what do you think of this one of mine? Do you think Ms. Tao will like it?" Ms. Tao pronounced the three words with accent on purpose, and looked into the room.

The gods fight, and the little ghost suffers. Axiu looked at Huo Zhenye and then at Bai Zhun, covered her eyes with her hand, shook her head repeatedly, her long braid swaying in front of her.

Huo Zhenye changed another set, but he was tossing so hard, Bai Zhun was still lying on the bed, just not looking back at him.

"I'm going out." Huo Zhenye changed his clothes, Bai Zhun didn't move, he walked to the door and said loudly, "I'm really going out."

Bai Zhun still didn't move.

The door of the small building of the Bai family opened and closed, Bai Zhun heard the sound of closing the door, slowly opened his eyes, and with a lift of his fingertips, two paper servants carried him from the bed to the wheelchair.

The bamboo wheelchair rolled into the hall, and Bai Zhun first saw the porridge and side dishes on the table. This man was obviously out on a date, so he prepared porridge and rice for him.

The paper figurines in the room made a sound, Bai Zhun raised his head, and saw all the paper figurines turned their heads, staring at the door, and the little squirrel raised one wing straight up.

Huo Zhenye leaned against the door, he didn't leave, he just waited for Bai Zhun to come out.

Before he counted to ten, he came out, Huo Zhenye raised his brows slightly, his eyes brightened, and his smile added something else: "I really went out, not on a date, but Miss Tao said to thank us and prepared a gift. "

Bai Zhun's face was sullen, but Huo Zhenye was in a good mood. The suffocation he had held all night last night disappeared at this moment, and he walked out of Yu Qingli staggeringly.

Axiu poked her head out quietly from the room, and Bai Zhun was sitting at the table sulking.

Bai Zhun was so angry that he lifted the lid of the casserole in front of him. Inside was his favorite sashimi porridge, even the shredded ginger in the porridge was picked out for him.

He glanced at it, but didn't eat it. He turned the bamboo wheelchair into the house, opened the box, and took out a handful of decapitated incense.

Picking out the longest one among them, but the longest one was not half as long as his finger, Bai Zhun's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and he stuffed the incense back into the box.

Axiu quietly followed behind her master, her small face tilted, the master was obviously happy just now, why is she unhappy again.

Miss Tao and Huo Zhenye still had an appointment at the coffee shop before, her complexion was a little pale, and there was a hint of depression between her brows.

When Huo Zhenye entered the door, he saw that she was a bit haggard, and took a look at her up and down with a copper coin, but there was nothing.

"Mr. Huo." Miss Tao stood up to greet him, "Waiter, a cup of coffee and two cakes." She still remembered that Huo Zhenye came last time and brought cakes for Bai Zhun.

"I want to thank Mr. Huo and Mr. Bai." Tao Yonghua took out two boxes from the bag, one was a wrist watch and the other was a pocket watch.

Huo Zhenye did not expect Tao Yonghua to give such a heavy gift, and he was not polite to Tao Yonghua: "This gift is too heavy."

"Mr. Huo doesn't need to refuse, I'm afraid I didn't prepare well." Tao Yonghua sighed when he thought of his cousin's death, "I thought sending her to a church school would at least save her life."

That Sun Xianniang was also arrested, not because of Su Yin, but because she beat the eldest wife for the concubine of a rich family.

The eldest wife knocked on the door and smashed the house, and Sun Xianniang was sent to prison at an early age, and she would not survive for many days.

Mrs. Tao naturally wanted to ask her daughter who helped her. Tao Yonghua thought for a while and told her mother about Huo Zhenye helping her. Mrs. Tao immediately asked, "Then you dated him again?"

Tao Yonghua didn't blush, she thought for a while: "Mom, he...he seems to have a friend."

Mrs. Tao thought that Huo Zhenye had a girlfriend, and sighed that it was a pity.

Tao Yonghua pursed her lips, and when she was choosing a gift for Huo Bai, she originally wanted to choose a pair, but she felt that it was poignant, so she chose a wrist watch and a pocket watch.

Huo Zhenye saw that Tao Yonghua was still sad for Su Yin, so he took a sip of coffee: "How can it be as good as you want."

Tao Yonghua was startled when he heard the words, then smiled, and the gloom between his brows dissipated: "Yes, Mr. Huo is transparent, I did what I should do, and I have a clear conscience."

The two finished the matter in a few words, but Huo Zhenye sat still, he couldn't understand what Bai Zhun was thinking in his heart, if he really didn't mean that, why would he be jealous.

Last night, the look in Bai Zhun's eyes did not completely reject him.

What is Bai Zhun afraid of?

Huo Zhenye packed the cake and brought it home, and when he opened the door, he saw Bai Zhun basking in the sun in the patio again. He was a little awkward, but Bai Zhun turned his head and twitched his nose: "I want to be white."

Huo Zhenye's anger dissipated: "Okay, let's eat the butter first." Make tea and cake for Bai Qiye.

The gate of Bai's house rang twice, and a woman outside shouted, "Axiu, is Axiu at home?"

There are many people who come to see Bai Zhun, but few who come to see Axiu.

Huo Zhenye opened the door and saw a anxious woman, she asked anxiously, "Is Axiu there? Has Xiaoyan ever come to look for her?"

Huo Zhenye shook his head: "Axiu went shopping, Xiaoyan never came."

How could Bai Zhun allow children to enter this room?

The woman cried out: "Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan is gone."

Huo Zhenye frowned: "When did she disappear? Have you looked around?"

"I...I let her go to the alley..."

Xiaoyan's mother was out of breath from crying, but the neighbor said for her: "What about eating crabs today? Xiaoyan's mother asked Xiaoyan to make a bottle of vinegar. The crabs are all steamed, and Xiaoyan hasn't come back yet."

Another neighbor said, "Will he be abducted?"

A child was lost, and the neighbors in an alley helped to find someone. Everyone was frightened, and the fear of child abduction in the city had not dissipated.

These days, as soon as it gets dark, everyone quickly takes back the children's clothes. When they see the neighbors' children's clothes confiscated, they pick them up with bamboo poles and help each other.

It is said that the kidnapper took a fancy to the house that dried children's clothes, so he waited for the children in that house.

Neighbors from Yu Qingli gathered in front of Bai Zhun's door. The noise caused Bai Zhun a headache. As soon as his eyebrows moved, Huo Zhenye closed the door. He went to the door and said to the neighbors, "Have you looked for all your classmates?"

Huo Zhenye was about to call the police when the door behind him rang.

Bai Zhun has something to tell him.

Huo Zhenye opened the door and went in, Bai Zhun was very impatient, so many people gathered around his door, muttering and making noise made his ears hurt, and the smell of sweat and smoke gave him a headache.

"how?"

"Xiaoyan is with Axiu." Bai Zhun frowned slightly, "The two of them are at Sacred Heart Hospital, with that little doctor."

Bai Zhun noticed that Axiu had left this area, and he wanted to control Axiu to come back, but Axiu didn't listen to him.

A Xiu went to the stall in the alley to buy Bai Zhun stewed autumn pears with honey.

There are various stalls set up on both sides of the road in the old city, and Bai Zhun will occasionally send Axiu out to cut a three-yellow chicken back.

Axiu was waiting for the stewed autumn pear at the side of the stall, when she raised her eyes she saw Xiaoyan walking straight over.

Axiu greeted Xiaoyan, but Xiaoyan didn't seem to see her, she didn't jump forward a few steps, called her "Axiu" bluntly, but walked forward in a daze.

Axiu followed, turned a corner, and saw a very beautiful woman standing on the side of the street, waving to Xiaoyan, and said with a smile, "Come, come."

Axiu felt the same aura from this woman.

Seeing Xiaoyan being held by this woman, she ran forward a few steps and grabbed Xiaoyan's other hand.

With a movement of Xiaoyan's arm, the vinegar bottle in her hand fell to the ground, and with a "bang", she woke up, looked at Axiu in a daze, and her eyes lit up again: "Axiu!"

The woman in black gave Axiu a glance, hugged Xiaoyan and ran, she ran very fast.

Axiu is not slow, her body is light, her bamboo bones ride the wind, and she chases closely.

Xiaoyan came back to her senses and looked up at the face of the woman in black robe. Her face gradually became pale, and there were two spots of red on her pale face. Xiaoyan cried out in fright: "Axiu! Axiu save me!" !"

Passers-by heard the movement and saw a woman in a cheongsam chasing a woman in black who was holding a child in her arms. It looked like she was snatching the child.

The news of abducting children has been reported non-stop in the past few days, and the ordinary people shouted when they saw this: "Abduction of children!"

The rickshaw driver on the street and the gentleman in a suit smoking a cigarette under the electric light all tried to stop her, but the woman in black ran so fast that several people stopped her, but none of them could stop her.

Axiu kept chasing her closely, the woman in black got wind under her feet, turned around and turned to a place where there was no one, she left Xiaoyan and ran away.

Xiaoyan was thrown down by her, her mouth hit the ground, her front teeth fell out, her mouth was full of blood, and she wailed with a "wow".

Axiu hurried over, picked up Xiaoyan, and held her in her arms, imitating the women in Yu Qingli, holding her, shaking her, patting and coaxing her.

The rickshaw driver saw the girl's face was covered with blood and thought she was injured, so he took them to the nearest Sacred Heart Hospital.

Xu Yanwen came out with the case and heard the commotion in the hall, so he took Axiu and Xiaoyan to the office and carefully checked Xiaoyan's wound.

"Fortunately, she just lost her front teeth. She is at the age of changing her teeth. It will be fine in the future. There will be some wounds in the mouth, and there is no need to apply special medicine. They will grow back in a few days."

When he talked to Axiu, Axiu seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand. She stared at the medicine bottle and knife in the cabinet. This knife was somewhat similar to the one on Bai Zhun's desk.

Xiaoyan managed to stop her crying. She was a brave girl, knowing that she was not in danger, so she told the handsome doctor, "Axiu can't talk."

Xu Yanwen was startled, and stared at Axiu. Her cheongsam was stained with blood, her hair was messed up, her face and arms were stained, but she didn't care, nor was she shy.

Xiaoyan lost her front teeth, and her words leaked out, but she still defended Axiu: "You can't say that Axiu is dumb!"

Xu Yanwen patted Xiaoyan's head: "Is she your sister?"

Xiaoyan shook her head: "Axiu is my neighbor, we are friends."

Axiu heard this sentence, she turned her head, her hands behind her body, her long braid flicked, and she nodded to Xiaoyan.

Xu Yanwen's face turned red, and he stuttered when he spoke. He kept pushing his glasses, "Then...then please sit down, Miss Axiu, and I'll pour you a glass of water."

He glanced away and saw that there was only one shoe on Axiu's foot, and she lost the shoe when she was running, and Bai Shengsheng's foot just stepped on the ground like this.

Xu Yanwen said "Hey" and helped Axiu to sit in front of the bed: "Is there a wound on the foot? Does it hurt?" As he said that, he wanted to check Axiu's foot.

The door was pushed open at this time, and Huo Zhenye came to pick up Axiu home, and he saw himself, the most honest and shy classmate, hugging Axiu's feet at a glance.

Xu Yanwen also came back to his senses, he couldn't control his blushing, and explained to Huo Zhenye: "I'm checking Miss Axiu's wound."

Where is the wound?There was no wound at all, and she didn't even scratch the skin.

Yu Qingli's neighbors and Xiaoyan's mother all squeezed in: "How is Xiaoyan? How is Axiu?"

When Xiaoyan saw her mother, she cried again, saying that a woman in black was holding her and ran away, and Axiu was chasing her, so Xiaoyan's mother almost knelt down for Axiu.

Axiu couldn't even speak, and couldn't even ask for help, so she could only chase after her.

Seeing so many people, Xu Yanwen took off his white coat and wrapped Axiu's feet up.

Huo Zhenye took two steps forward and asked Axiu, "How are you? What's wrong with that woman?" He wasn't too worried about Axiu, as Axiu could hold a refrigerator with both hands, and her arm would break if she folded it.

Axiu stretched out her palm, folded her two hands together, and made a shadow against the white wall. This is what she learned from Xiaoyan, besides the eagle and the puppy.

The sunlight was projected on the white wall, Axiu's slender hands turned into flying birds, and the black shadow flew on the white wall.

Xu Yanwen stared at the shadow of Ah Shou's hand without turning his eyes, with a smile in his eyes, he could hardly look away.

No one else knew why, but Huo Zhenye frowned. That person turned into a bird and flew away?

Xiaoyan was abducted in the old city, but Axiu ran into the concession to snatch her back. The Sacred Heart Hospital was also in the concession, so Huo Zhenye called Datou.

"There's another child abduction case recently?"

Datou thought for a while and shook his head: "No." Datou gave Xiaoyan a statement, but Axiu couldn't speak, leaving a few onlookers to tell him the situation for her.

Huo Zhenye helped Axiu up: "Let's go, your brother is still waiting for you at home."

Xu Yanwen followed a few steps: "Miss Axiu..."

"Her surname is Bai." Huo Zhenye glanced at Xu Yanwen's expression and raised his eyebrows. Xu Yanwen didn't even attend dances in England, not to mention dancing with ladies, and he didn't even take the initiative to talk to them.

Not only women but also men actively pursued Xu Yanwen, and he rejected them all.

It turns out that he likes girls, not because he likes girls like Axiu.

"Miss Bai, hello." Xu Yanwen plucked up his courage, "My name is Xu Yanwen, I... can I make friends with Miss Bai."

The author has something to say: Huo, why is everyone's love smoother than mine? VII
