The growth strategy of the emperor who wears books

At this point, in modern times, it is past one o'clock in the morning, and it can be regarded as staying up late, not to mention in this ancient time when nightlife was scarce and people used to go to bed early. Without knocking, there was a slight noise from within the wood, and then it was opened from the inside with a jerk.

"You're back?" Wang Ergou stood at the door, raised his head high to look at Wen Jue, his little face was full of surprises.

Wen Jue was a little taken aback by his gaze, and after realizing it, he said, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

The child's eyes flickered, and he said, "I get up at night."

Wen Jue didn't think much about it at all, but when he lowered his eyes, he saw that the child's feet were bare and he didn't even wear shoes.

He wasn't a nervous person, so he understood more or less when he saw this. The child probably got off the bed immediately when he heard his footsteps.

He bent slightly, took Wang Ergou's hand and walked into the house, asking, "Are you waiting for me to come back?"

Wan Ergou didn't say a word, but after a while, he nodded slightly and admitted.

Wen Jue walked in and saw that the food on the table hadn't been touched, so he knew that he hadn't eaten at night, and the food was cold. It was impossible to find someone to heat it up at this time. Xi gave him a plate of snacks, and because he hadn't eaten anything all day, he brought it out.

Wen Jue took out the snack from his sleeve, handed it to Wang Ergou, and said, "Eat something, then go to bed."

Sure enough, Wang Ergou didn't refuse, he reached out and took a piece and ate it.

Wen Jue saw him lowering his head, holding the piece of pastry in his hands and eating it seriously, and he couldn't help but think of the little squirrel with puffy cheeks holding peanuts and eating nuts in the close-up of the animal world he had seen before.

Wang Ergou kept eating the whole piece, twisted and ate the crumbs that fell on his body, and then stopped.

"What is this, what the hell..." The word "what the hell" almost slipped out of his mouth, but was choked back by the child.

Hearing him stammering and changing his words, Wen Jue expressed the deliciousness of the food with his own lacking adjectives, which made him feel both amused and sad.

"Peach Blossom Cake." It's not a special cake. When he walks on the street, he often sees children eating it happily, but this child has never even seen it.

Wen Jue gave the child a few more yuan, ate some himself, and then let Wang Ergou sleep.

Wang Ergou lay on the bed, and obediently let Wen Jue cover him with a quilt, but he looked at Wen Jue with his big eyes without blinking, as if he was afraid that once he closed them, this person would disappear. of.

Wang Ergou asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Wen Jue realized something, and said with a smile: "I'm not a god, how can I not sleep." As he said, he really took off his shoes and lay down on the bed.

Seeing that he hadn't taken off his clothes, and the big white cloak was still covering his face, Wang Ergou hesitated for a while and asked, "Are you just sleeping like this?"

"Mmm." Wen Jue didn't say anything, just answered the word lightly.

Wang Ergou stared at the hood that Wen Jue covered his face. After a while, the curiosity in his heart was like weeds that had encountered the wind and rain in spring. It grew crazily, scratching his heart itchy and restless.

——He wanted to take a look at the face under the hood, to see what this man who had saved him many times and was willing to take him with him looked like.

In this way, even if he leaves one day and meets again, he can recognize him in the crowd.

Thinking of this, Wang Ergou stretched out his hand towards Wen Jue's hood covering his face as if bewitched.

Two inches and one inch, his hand touched the layer of soft fabric, but his heart suddenly began to tense uncontrollably, and his breathing became a little messy.

Wang Ergou held his breath and lifted Wen Jue's hood. He saw the man's side face. His skin was very white and clean. Although it was just a side face, Wang Ergou felt that it was because he grew up so big. , one of the best-looking people I've ever seen.

Liar, it's not ugly at all!

Thinking of this, Wang Ergou planned to lift Wen Jue's entire hood. At this moment, his heart was completely occupied by a strong curiosity, and he even forgot his nervousness.

However, when he was about to remove all the coverings, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by a hand.

Wang Ergou was startled, he let go of his conditioned reflex, and bounced back violently. If he hadn't grabbed his hand himself, Wen Jue would have even doubted that the child could have bounced directly against the wall.

"You, why haven't you slept yet? You scared me to death!" Wang Ergou said with his eyes wide open.

Wen Jue: "..." The feelings are still his fault.

Wen Jue tried hard to suppress the twitching in the corners of his eyes, and then he reached out and touched Wang Ergou's head: "Child, you are a talent!"

Wang Ergou opened his big black eyes with puzzlement in them.

Wen Jue sighed inwardly, and said, "Sleep, don't make any more fuss."

When his voice became serious, the child became a little frightened. He lay flat and closed his eyes, and the whole set of movements was done in one go.

Wen Jue turned his face away, pulled the quilt for him, and closed his eyes again.

I thought that Wang Ergou really calmed down this time, but who would have thought that after a while, the child got up again.

Wen Jue had a headache: "What's wrong?"

Wang Ergou pointed to the candlestick on the round table in the room, and said, "I'm going to turn off the light, it's too damn...too expensive."

Wen Jue looked at the seriousness on the child's face, and suddenly felt a little ashamed.

——He is narrow-minded!

Apart from being ashamed, Wen Jue was also a little relieved, because he discovered a problem. This kid seemed to be consciously changing his habit of swearing. He thought it was just like him, so he changed completely and peeled off!

Wen Jue fumbled for a small object from the bedside table, threw it over and knocked out the wick. When he turned around, he saw the child looking at him with eyes full of admiration, and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

He paused and said, "Can I rest?"

Wang Ergou seemed to have a lot to say, but he was probably worried that the other party would annoy him, so he held back in the end.

A child is a child, even if something is on his mind, he can still fall asleep when he is sleepy. After a while, only the sound of peaceful breathing is left in Wen Jue's ears.

Wen Jue has not slept for two days in a row, but because he is not in a good mood, his mind is always awake even when he is lying on the bed. Now, hearing the light snoring coming from his ear, Wen Jue miraculously feels sleepy .

In the past few days, Wen Jue was busy with the case in Lotte Town, and was concerned about the child's mood, so he put aside the tasks assigned by the system for a while. Three days later, when Wen Jue almost forgot about this, the system 110 came out again.

[Alarm alert, the task activation time is about to reach the deadline, please activate the task before the host gets dark today, please activate the task as soon as possible, otherwise you will be punished. 】Wen Jue: Why didn't you say that there is a deadline for this mission?

110: [Because the difficulty factor of the activation task is too low, the system did not consider that the host would be unable to complete it, so it did not emphasize it. 】Wen Jue: "..."

With a system, Wen Jue was no longer in the mood for a few words of theory.

After breakfast, Yin Hongyu came out from the government office, and his subordinates immediately came up and handed him his riding whip with both hands.

Yin Hongyu glanced at it, but said: "Who said that this hall is going to ride a horse?"

The subordinate was taken aback, paused, and asked, "Does Your Highness want to take a carriage?"

Yin Hongyu nodded.

The subordinate immediately understood, and respectfully asked Wen Jue to walk to the only carriage in the team.

Yin Hongyu lifted the hem of his clothes with one hand, jumped into the carriage with a light leap, but the moment his subordinate lifted the curtain for him, the expression on his face froze for a moment.

Yin Hongyu stopped and turned around, just in time when Nanxi came out of the mansion, he immediately asked, "Where is your master?"

Nan Xi said: "The general said that there are some matters to be dealt with, so he will not go with the brigade, let me wait to escort His Highness back to Beijing first."

Yin Hongyu frowned and said, "What's the matter with him?"

"This little one doesn't know either. The general only said something happened, but he didn't say what it was." Nan Xi's words were true, and Wen Jue really didn't tell him.

Yin Hongyu frowned when he saw that the expression on his face did not seem to be fake, then he flung his sleeves and walked into the carriage.

In the inn, Wang Ergou folded a set of change of clothes that Wen Jue bought for him at the tailor shop, carefully put them into a piece of cotton cloth, wrapped them into a bag and carried them on his back, then looked at Wen Jue: "I'm done!" .”

Wen Jue nodded and said, "Then let's go."

Wang Ergou looked at Wen Jue's empty hands and said, "Don't you have any luggage?"

Wen Jue said: "Whatever you need, you can buy it on the road."

Wang Ergou didn't say anything after hearing the words, and walked outside behind Wen Jue.

Now that the drought has just passed and everything is waiting to be done, the streets are truly bustling again. It's not particularly unusual for a child to walk on the street, so it didn't attract much attention.

They traveled smoothly all the way, but when they passed Dongzheng Street, they suddenly encountered a commotion.

Soldiers cleared the street and evacuated the people to one side. After a while, a large group passed by.

Wang Ergou followed Wen Jue and stood by the road, looked up, and saw Yin Hongyu riding on the big bay red horse, his face immediately became ugly.

It was him, the guy next to him.

Thinking of this, Wang Ergou began to search for the figure who was the culprit who killed his grandfather, but after searching for a long time, he didn't even see a shadow.

Wen Jue noticed his emotional change and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Ergou pointed to the middle of the team, and said angrily: "They are the ones who killed the Lord..."

Wen Jue didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and hastily pressed his hand down: "Don't point fingers."

Wen Jue did this because he was worried that the child's actions would attract the attention of the team. Anyone who thought about it was really afraid of anything. Yin Hongyu immediately noticed this side at a glance.
