"Wake up" is almost perfect. After a while, except for the first wave of night watchmen, the rest are almost silent.
In just a few minutes, the sleeping people's breathing became long and even, and some even snored, long and short, one after another, covering the soft crackle of burning firewood.
Of the six people in the first wave of vigil, two were near the cave xué Oswald, protecting the safety of the emperor. The other two were on the left and right of the two cave doors, enclosing everyone in them. As for the remaining two, they sat directly by the fire, guarding the fire so as not to extinguish it, while staring at the movement around them.
A few minutes later, the two vigils who were guarding the fire and closest to the crowd were overwhelmed by a sudden sleepiness, and their eyelids were fighting. They pinched their thighs hard, trying to wake themselves up, but they didn't. Did not play any real role.
The sharp skin pain was quickly overwhelmed by sleepiness, they barely blinked a few times, their heads slowly drooped, and they dozed off bit by bit.
At this moment, Kevin who was lying there suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were dark and bright, and he was extremely awake, without even a trace of sleepiness.
He stared at the emperor not far away, and then scanned around again. All those who could easily notice his movements were already sound asleep, and there was no movement at all.
Kevin closed his eyes, got up quietly, and, like a ghost, took advantage of the shadows and darkness everywhere, followed the blind spots of the remaining night watchmen, and turned into the previous passage unhurriedly. The path to the monument.
Chapter 31
The people in the ground had long confused the time in the intermingling of darkness and insect lamps, but in fact, when they were sleeping on the spot, the sky was bright outside.
It was rare to take a break from the continuous torrential rain, giving the remaining water a chance to buffer.
The Wujin Suspended Palace on the road to the Great Rift Valley has been washed almost from head to toe, with a thick black stain. The water on the eaves hadn't run out, and it dripped into a series of water curtains beside the corridor, dripping, making the palace seem more and more quiet.
The bronze door at the end of the corridor suddenly creaked, and two servants led a thin figure hurriedly towards Sinya's room.
"Ann, I've been up for a long time! I've been waiting for you to tell me a story!" Sinya was restless even lying on the bed, and rolled twice while hugging the quilt, almost breaking her petrified arm. The female officer whispered again and again.
That thin figure was Angel, the white rabbit boy brought back by Kevin. Sinia told people that she didn't like to be called by her full name, and she always only called the first syllable in order to save trouble and remember. When he called "Ann" for the first time, Angel's ears turned red, and he kept saying, "Don't, don't, that's a girl's name."
It's a pity that Xinya, who is only four and a half years old, has the demeanor of her uncle when she was a child to some extent. When they met the next day, they still only yelled one word, so Angel could only do what she wanted.
Since her arm was petrified, Xinya couldn't go out and rolled all over the floor. The courtiers obeyed Oswald's order and watched over her from morning to night, so as not to stumble again.
It is a life-threatening thing for such a small child not to be able to go out, especially when Oswald is not around, she has no place to cry, no place to make trouble, and the difficulty of hanging herself is a bit beyond her IQ, I can only lie down obediently and accept my fate.
Because of this, Angel had to run to Xuangong every day. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Sinia has not developed any other hobbies for the time being besides liking to listen to stories endlessly, so it is not difficult to serve.
"I already talked about that yesterday." Angel said, "What are you listening to today?"
Sinya glanced secretly at the door twice, and saw that the servant was respectfully at the door, not intending to come in to catch her, so she hurriedly took out a book from under the pillow.
The sneaky look of such a small child looked a little funny, Angel was embarrassed to smile too obviously, and only pursed the corners of his mouth. He took the book from Sinya's hand and flipped through two pages.
No kidding, this book looks like it was just picked up from the trash. Angel turned the pages carefully, just like that, accidentally picked up a few pieces of paper.
Angel: "..."
He held the pages of the book with a slightly panicked expression: "Honestly, Your Highness, where did you find this book?" If it was an ancient book, if two pages were lost, he would not be able to pay for it even if he sold it!
Sinya lowered her voice seriously, and whispered secretly: "I stole it from my uncle's bookshelf last night."
Angel's hand just shook.
Can the emperor's things be taken indiscriminately? !
Cynthia immediately
