"How come... so many..."
Fu Ling's face was pale, and Qin Shuang vomited bile beside her. Qin Wan looked at the black cat with bared teeth, and then at the cat corpses all over the floor, her brows furrowed tightly. Two steps forward.
The pungent rancid stench was mixed with the cold wind blowing on her body. She tightened her cloak and began to observe the cat corpses all over the ground at close range. Some cat corpses were new and some were old. The new ones were bloody, while the old ones It had rotted and discolored, so Qin Wan only went to look at the new ones. After looking at them, Qin Wan found that the wounds on the cat corpse were very neat, like a knife cut...
Qin Wan's eyes darkened, and when he looked again, he saw that the belly of the newest cat corpse had been dissected open, with bloody internal organs vaguely visible, and these cat corpses were dragged from nowhere, and the flesh and blood were mixed with dirt. It looks startling at the moment.
"Miss, what should I do, there are at least ten dead cats here..."
Fu Ling stepped forward, wanting to pull Qin Wan away, but on the other side, Qin Shuang, who vomited so weakly, took Wan Qing and Xiu Yun's hands and staggered towards the outside of the alley. Wan Qing supported Qin Wan in distress. Shuang, looking back, only saw Qin Wan's straight back.
Qin Wan stood closer, and the black cat, which was already baring its teeth, was even more angry. It stared at Qin Wan as if protecting a calf. Seeing that the black cat was about to pounce on the ground with its four paws behind its ears, Fu Ling He Wanxing both protected Qin Wan, and Qin Wan was about to say it was okay, but the black cat took two steps back, turned around and ran away, the alleyway that turned right was still open in all directions, the black shadow flashed and the cat disappeared, Fu Ling Then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Scared the servant to death, I thought it was going to hurt people."
"Miss, what should we do?" Fu Ling looked at Qin Wan. It seems that these cat corpses have been piled up here for a day or two. It seems that the servants in the house have not noticed it. Do you want to tell Uncle Dong and them
Qin Wan took a step back, turned around, and walked towards the exit of the alleyway, "Get out of here first."
At the entrance of the alleyway, Qin Shuang panted with a pale face, and when she saw Qin Wan coming out, she immediately said in shock, "Why... why are there so many cat corpses, and why are they still piled up there?"
Qin Wan narrowed her eyes, "Should it be brought here by that black cat?"
Qin Shuang's eyelids twitched, "Elsewhere? Where is the other place?"
"I don't know, this snow has covered all the traces." Qin Wan shook his head, "But it should be in this house."
Qin Shuang stared, "In this house? Could it be that someone in this house likes to torture and kill kittens?"
Although Qin Shuang didn't like Xiao Chong, but when he thought of the scene just now, he was still very scared, and if he didn't like it, he didn't like it. If a person killed such a cat so cruelly, most likely that person was a perverted lunatic.
"Not necessarily, maybe it's because of something else." Qin Wan had some thoughts in his eyes, but he didn't explain.
"Then what should we do now?" Qin Shuang's eyes were filled with horror, "Should we tell Uncle Dong and them?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Of course I want it, but Sixth Sister doesn't have to worry, I'll just say it, Sixth Sister should go back first, don't say anything about it..."
Qin Shuang was already terrified, and she couldn't help but relax when she heard this, "Well, I, I'll go back and rest first."
After Qin Shuang finished speaking, she left. Wan Qing and Xiu Yun naturally followed her. After she left, Fu Ling looked at Qin Wan anxiously, "Miss, what should we do now?"
Qin Wan looked to the east, "Let's turn around and have a look—"
Fu Ling blinked her eyes. She didn't know what Qin Wan was planning, but she followed her as she said. The three of them deliberately walked eastward, and after walking for a while, they met two male servants who were sweeping the snow. Cleaning, but the owner who lives in the east is not sloppy. When the two saw Qin Wan, they stopped their work and bowed their heads to salute.
Qin Wan nodded and ignored, and continued to go east. After a few steps, Uncle Dong came over. Seeing Qin Wan, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Why did Miss Qin come here? But you want to see the young master?"
Qin Wan quickly waved his hands and said with a smile, "No, no, it's just that I just finished my meal and went out for a walk to digest my food. I was thinking of going to the place where I left in the morning, but just now when I went there, I smelled a smell, I don't know what it is .”
Uncle Dong frowned slightly, "Smell? What kind of smell?"
Qin Wan said with a pure face, "It seems to be the smell of small animals. In the morning, Uncle Dong said that the dogs were locked in the yard over there, but I haven't gone there just now. Is it possible that other yards are locked in other places?" What?"
The doubt in Dong Shu's eyes flashed away, and then quickly disappeared, "Oh, that villain will send someone to take a look."
Qin Wan nodded, "It's also possible that I made a mistake." Qin Wan glanced at the front, "We're almost at Renxinyuan, so don't disturb the genius doctor, we'll go back now, Uncle Dong is busy Bar."
Uncle Dong smiled and nodded, Qin Wan turned and left with Fu Ling and Wan Xing.
Qin Wan didn't go anywhere else this time, but walked back to her own yard. As soon as she entered the gate, Qin Wan turned to look at Wan Xing and said, "Wan Xing, go out and find out how they cleaned up."
Wan Xing nodded, and walked out again without asking any further questions.
Fu Ling looked at Qin Wan in surprise, "What did Miss want Wan Xing to watch?"
Qin Wan sighed, "I want to know who did this."
Fu Ling also showed a bit of thought when she heard the words, "Miss said that those cat corpses were most likely carried by the black cat, so there may be more in other places, who in this house has such a hobby? "
Qin Wan pursed her lips and said nothing for a moment, and Fu Ling stopped asking when she saw Qin Wan's expression was gloomy.
The two entered the room and sat down. After about two cups of tea, Wan Xing came back lightly, "Miss, Uncle Dong brought two servants over there. They scooped up all the cat corpses and sent them out." It is not known exactly where it was sent to the house, but it was probably taken outside and buried, the servant girl was not surprised when she saw Uncle Dong, as if she just wanted to cover up the matter."
Qin Wan's heart sank even more when he heard these words, "I know..."
Fu Ling looked at Wan Xing, then at Qin Wan who didn't say any more, and didn't ask any more questions.
Qin Wan stood up and walked to the window, the sky was getting dark and night was coming, but during this day, the drug thief didn't say anything, first he found the yard with strange noises, and then Cat corpses were found all over the floor. Uncle Dong said that the dogs in the yard were dumbed down by medicine. So, will those dogs become like cats
Qin Wan narrowed her eyes, and thought of the mice she had raised in the past. Because she didn't know whether the proportion of the prescription was appropriate or whether it caused the toxicity, she tried the medicine with mice, and those mice died of the medicine. After that, she seldom touched those evil prescriptions, and she never took other living medicines. It is not against the law to test medicines with pets, but so many cats...
Qin Wan always felt chills in his heart...
"Miss?" Seeing that Qin Wan's whole body was cold, Fu Ling couldn't help being a little worried, so she called out in a low voice.
Qin Wan sighed lightly, "This matter... let's do it first..."
Fu Ling hesitated to speak, "This is not like Miss."
Qin Wan smiled wryly, "What should my temperament be? Sometimes, I can't do anything."
The sky gradually darkened. Although there was no snow in the daytime, the sun did not come out, and at night, there was a sudden cold wind, which rustled the ancient willows in the yard in rapid succession. Not long after, Fu Ling exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, it's snowing outside again..."
Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat. Originally, he only needed to wait for the snow to melt for a day before leaving, but he didn't expect it to snow again. This snow will only make the snow that hasn't started to melt thicker yet. Their itinerary has to be moved back again!
Just thinking about this, the door of the opposite wing was also opened. Qin Shuang ran towards Qin Wan in a cloak, pushed the door open and said, "It's snowing again, what should we do? When it snows, we Do you have to leave later?"
Fu Ling poured tea for Qin Shuang and said, "Miss Six likes snowing, doesn't she? Why are you worried now?"
Qin Shuang looked at Fuling sadly, and snorted softly, "I still want to leave early. I was afraid from Sanyuan Village. I thought it would be all right when I arrived at this house, but... Anyway, I think it's very good here." Weird, I want to leave early."
Qin Shuang was talking about the cat corpses she saw this afternoon, and she looked at Qin Wan again, "What did you say about that?"
Qin Wan walked up to Qin Shuang, "I mentioned it to Uncle Dong, he has already brought someone to clean it up."
"That's it?" Qin Shuang stood up all of a sudden, "You have been following His Royal Highness and the prefect before, and I thought you were a jealous person. How can you let this matter go like this? You have to check, you have to check whether there is a person in this house. Who is that bad!"
"And then?" Qin Wan looked at Qin Shuang, "And report to the police?"
Qin Shuang was stunned for a moment, "This kind of thing... will the government take care of it..."
Qin Wan then shook his head, Qin Shuang opened his eyes slightly, and seemed to understand a little bit, if this matter is unreasonable on the basis of legal principles, then they are just people who are temporarily renting other people's houses, how can they intervene
"Then... that's really the end of it?"
Qin Wan frowned slightly, "We still don't know the cause and effect of this matter, and there is no way to control it."
Speaking of which, Qin Wan lowered her eyes. Others couldn't see it, but she could tell that the wounds of the new cat corpses were neatly cut, and the five internal organs in their stomachs could be seen clearly. Kung Fu people, who else is there in this house
This idea is not absolute, but just because of this suspicion, Qin Wan already knows that she can't control this matter.
Qin Shuang lowered her head when she heard the words, "I'll go and talk to third brother, let's find a way to leave early."
After speaking, Qin Shuang turned around and ran out the door. Fu Ling looked at Qin Shuang's back and sighed, "Miss Six may be frightened."
Fu Ling naturally knew that Qin Wan was not afraid, her lady was good at autopsy, and a few cat corpses were nothing.
I thought that Qin Shuang would never come back after this trip, but after a short wait, Qin Shuang ran back angrily, and said as soon as he entered the door, "Oh my God, do you know what I saw at Fifth Sister's just now? "
Qin Wan looked at her cooperatively, "What did you see?"
Qin Shuang frowned, "She has an extra pair of jade butterflies—"
Qin Wan didn't understand for a moment, "What jade butterfly?"
Taking a deep breath, Qin Shuang said, "It's a pair of butterflies made of jade. They are very exquisite. Every girl will like them. She didn't have them before. They were given to her by others. Who do you think gave them?"
Qin Wan was a little surprised when he heard this, there was no friend Qin Xiang knew in this house, she rolled her eyes, "Third brother?"
Qin Shuang stomped her feet, "It's not the third brother! It's the young master of the Bai family!"
Qin Wan reacted for a moment, understood, and then said with a broken smile, "Young master of the Bai family..."
She only sighed and stopped talking, not satisfying Qin Shuang at all, Qin Shuang snorted, "You know, I sent it to her in the afternoon, saying that the young master of the Bai family had gone out, but Lin Before I left, I asked someone else to send it to her. I saw Fifth Sister's appearance, she liked it very much, and her eyes lit up when talking about the young master of the Bai family!"
Qin Wan understood. During the day, Qin Xiang met the young master of the Bai family, and later the young master of the Bai family sent gifts, which naturally made her happy, but she felt very normal. Qin Yan said that the young master of the Bai family The master is very outstanding, and at Qin Xiang's age, it's normal for him to feel somewhat emotional when he sees an outstanding man, especially when that man also expresses his affection for her.
"Fifth Sister took the initiative with Young Master Bai? There's nothing wrong with that."
Qin Wan didn't care much, but Qin Shuang said, "But think about it, Mrs. Bai! That's Mrs. Bai! There are so many families who have made good friends with Mrs. Bai, how could it be Fifth Sister's turn? As for Yu Die Die, she seems to be regarded as very important to her, maybe she is just being polite, giving the girl some gadgets when meeting for the first time... "
Qin Wan didn't care much about Sister Qin Shuang's private affairs. It can be seen that Qin Shuang valued it so much. Qin Wan thought about it and said, "You are right to think so. If you think she is too serious, you can remind her one or two, so as not to She cares too much about Young Master Bai, but she is just thinking about it normally, and she will be sad when the time comes, if she really thinks Young Master Bai is good, she can observe and understand first."
Qin Shuang stomped her feet, "I said it! I said it just now, but she didn't listen!"
Qin Wan hesitated a bit, she could see that Qin Xiang's attitude towards her was not very friendly, so she turned her eyes, "Then you can talk to the third brother, let the third brother raise something from the side."
Qin Shuang hesitated again after hearing this, "Can I talk to my third brother about this kind of thing? She doesn't allow me to tell others..."
It's really not appropriate to tell a man about her daughter's small thoughts, but Qin Wan can't remind Qin Xiang too. If he does that, he might anger Qin Xiang, so Qin Wan sighed, "This is just the beginning. She said to Bai Shao The lord has a good impression, and it is normal not to listen to what you say. We are only staying here for a few days, as long as we don't let her do anything out of the ordinary. Of course, if Young Master Bai is really interested in her, a marriage Wouldn't it be better?"
Qin Shuang snorted softly, glanced at Qin Wan and said, "I don't think the young master of the Bai family would fall in love with her just like that. She doesn't have the looks of a city, and her character and temperament are also very ordinary. If the young master of the Bai family is really good How could Feng Jiyue's young master of the aristocratic family just fall in love with her so casually?"
In the past, Qin Wan always felt that Qin Shuang was impulsive, and his words were illogical and sometimes willful and unreasonable, but her words made her agree with her, Qin Wan frowned slightly, "That's right, I sent someone immediately after seeing her for the first time. If the gift is really for showing favor, it would be a bit frivolous."
"That's not right!" Qin Shuang snorted, "Besides, Fifth Sister thinks too highly of herself, and I think she is too unconscious at the moment. If the young master of the Bai family is a playboy, I'm afraid that she will offend Fifth Sister for nothing. Moved that mind."
"Since that's the case, you should pay more attention to her. Fortunately, the young master of the Bai family is not in the mansion right now. Even if she thinks about it, she won't do anything immediately..."
Qin Shuang nodded, "That's true, there is always a bit of etiquette."
Qin Shuang was soothed by Qin Wan, and said a few more words. Seeing that it was getting late, she returned to her room. Just for a while, the night outside was filled with wind and snow, and the chill was overwhelming. Adding charcoal to the basin, he said, "Miss Six has changed a lot lately, I can even hear the word 'ethics' from her mouth."
Qin Wan laughed when he heard the words, "Yes, the changes are indeed not small."
As Qin Wan said, it was impossible to connect the Qin Shuang who was running around mockingly but still worried about Qin Xiang with the Qin Shuang who ordered the servants to push him down the lake in Banyue Lake and laughed. …
In just three months, Qin Shuang seemed to have been completely reborn.
Fu Ling said a few more words, nothing more than scolding Qin Shuang for "viciously" bullying their master and servant. Qin Wan smiled and said nothing. Seeing that it was getting late, he planned to go to bed. He didn't sleep well the night before. This night, Qin Wan Also didn't sleep well.
The window sills were closed tightly, but still could not block the sound of wind and snow outside. Qin Wan always felt that the snow this night was much heavier than that in the Changfu Inn, and the howling of the wind was here. Even Qin Wan felt uneasy in the dark night.
Not only Qin Wan, but also Fu Ling and Wan Xing couldn't fall asleep. The three master and servant tossed and turned on the bed for half the night before falling asleep. Early the next morning, Qin Wan was awakened by a knock on the door .
"Ninth Sister—"
"Ninth sister, open the door quickly!"
"Ninth Sister! Something happened!"
Qin Wan suddenly opened his eyes, and listened intently for a moment before he was sure that it was Qin Shuang who was knocking on the door. Outside, Wan Xing had already got up and opened the door. When the door opened, Qin Shuang saw Fu Ling in the room with sleepy eyes, and Qin Wan Before they got up, they rushed in. Their rooms were divided into inside and outside. Qin Shuang rushed straight into the inner room and said, "Something went wrong! That thief ran away!"
Qin Wan just sat up, when he heard this, he suddenly woke up, "Run?"
Qin Shuang nodded sharply, "Yes, Mr. Sun went to see him after he got up just now, and found that the house was empty and their courtyard door was also open. This house is so big, the thief didn't know his name, the third brother said let us wait Don't go out alone in the yard, lest something happen..."
Qin Wan hurriedly dressed and got up, Qin Shuang frowned and muttered, "Usually I don't know you are so sleepy..."
Qin Wan smiled wryly and didn't say much. After getting dressed and washing up briefly, he and Qin Shuang went out together.
As soon as the door was opened, the snow particles outside were falling finely and densely, and the snow on the ground really added a thick layer. The two ancient willow branches in the corner of the yard were also laminated with thick layers, and there were two withered branches. The branches were broken by the snow and fell to the ground.
Qin Wan didn't need to ask Qin Yan to know that he still couldn't leave today...
She walked quickly all the way, and when she arrived at Sun Muqing's courtyard, she saw Qin Yan and Qin Xiang were also here, and Dong Shu was talking—
"It is said that the west back door was opened. I think the thief knew that he was found stealing the medicine. He woke up yesterday but was still pretending to be unconscious. Then he was afraid of being punished. After waking up in the middle of the night, he escaped."
Sun Muqing smiled wryly, "There was so much snow this night, it would be very dangerous for him to escape."
Uncle Dong also said helplessly, "If this person really stole medicinal materials, just a little medicinal materials, I wouldn't punish him much. It's just a lesson. Now that I run, I don't know how far home is. If I faint on the way , but it's a little dangerous."
Sun Muqing nodded, and thought for a while, "I checked it when I found something wrong. He didn't move much in the house, and he didn't take anything. He just put on his original clothes. When I came out, I found that there were no footprints in the yard. No, Xinxue has already covered his footprints, so it is estimated that he left before Maoshi."
Uncle Dong's eyes lit up slightly, "Master Biao is so meticulous?!"
Qin Yan also smiled and said, "Yes, if others don't think of looking at footprints..."
Sun Muqing laughed a little when she heard the words, and said embarrassedly, "So I don't know how to do it. Later, someone taught me a lot of tricks. She is usually very careful and meticulous. She can understand many details that I don't notice on weekdays." See, she is the quickest and most accurate judge of many things, and she usually likes to read the scriptures of strange stories, if she is here, I am afraid that she can see more carefully than me, even the route of how the man escaped. I can find it all, and after staying with her for a long time, I naturally learned something."
Qin Yan's eyes lit up, "Huh? The man Sun Gongzi mentioned sounds like he is suitable for solving cases and catching thieves..."
Sun Muqing's smile deepened, "Mr. Qin, I have said this before, she has such aspirations herself, but unfortunately she is a daughter, so she can't enter the public office to be a policeman or an official. I used to be very angry because of this. It's a pity, but her character and nature are meticulous and meticulous, and she responds very quickly, which is very useful in ordinary times. Not to mention, she learns medicine faster than others, and is also faster than others think. She is more comprehensive, and she can work harder than me on a difficult and miscellaneous disease."
Sun Muqing talked more and more. It was obvious that he was very familiar with that person and admired him so much. Qin Shuang immediately said, "The person Sun Gongzi is talking about is the little junior sister you mentioned before?"
Sun Muqing's smile faded by two points, but she still nodded, "Exactly, I didn't expect Miss Qin to hear it."
Qin Shuang said, "I'm guessing, because Mr. Sun has the same look and eyes when he mentioned this girl as when he talked about his junior sister last time, so I guess this person is your junior sister..."
Sun Muqing said casually, "Miss Liu is also very careful in her observations..."
Sun Muqing didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, so she looked at Uncle Dong and said, "Since that person has run away, let's forget about it, or send someone to look around, but I think since he has already run away, he won't stay around anymore , if he was really frozen to death on the road, then we have nothing to do..."
Uncle Dong also nodded when he heard the words, "Exactly, you don't have to worry about Young Master Biao, he has already ordered you to go."
Sun Muqing nodded, glanced at the snow that was still falling, and sighed, "This snow has piled up again, I'm afraid Mr. Qin will stay for two more days, I don't know if Mr. Qin has something important to do when he goes to the capital?"
Qin Wan quickly shook his head, "There is nothing urgent, Mr. Sun, don't worry, we live here with peace of mind, but I am ashamed to bother Miracle Doctor Sun for a few days..."
Uncle Dong bent his body and coughed twice, "Where is it, there are more brothers and sisters of Mr. Qin in this house, and I am a little more angry, but the snow is too heavy, and there are not enough dishes in the house. The food for these few days is only I'm afraid it will be very simple, but I hope that Mr. Qin will not be disgusted, the young master of the Bai family has gone down the mountain, and it will be better when he comes back from Yuanzhou."
Qin Yan hurriedly said, "How dare, how dare, the food these few days has been more comprehensive than what we had on the road a few days ago, I am so grateful, how can I dislike it, I and my sisters are not delicate people, Uncle Dong just do as he pleases. "
After saying a few more words, Uncle Dong left the place. Seeing everyone standing in the wing room, Sun Muqing asked everyone to go to the main room to get warmer. Qin Xiang and Qin Shuang walked last, and listened to Qin Xiang's words after walking a few steps, " With such heavy snow, I don’t know if it’s safe for Mr. Bai to go out, and where he’s gone now, I’m afraid the roads in the village below are not easy to walk.”
Hearing this, Qin Shuang couldn't help but said, "Fifth Sister, they just gave you a pair of jade butterflies, why are you so concerned about them! The jade butterflies are probably just because of courtesy, so don't overthink it so that you won't miss it." Sad in the end."
Qin Xiang frowned, "It would be good to see you off as a courtesy, why did you send a pair of jade butterflies? That's a pair, and I think the jade is of the highest quality, better than what my mother gave me. If there is no other meaning , is too costly."
Qin Shuang pursed her lips, thinking that her words would be more unpleasant, but she followed Qin Xiang in the past, and she was inevitably driven by habit, so she couldn't say it out, she just said, "Fifth Sister is sober. If you really mean something, Fifth Sister should be more reserved, lest people say that the daughter of the Qin family doesn't know how to behave..."
After Qin Shuang finished speaking, he left. Qin Xiang's face changed slightly, and Wan He heard everything the two of them said, and hurriedly persuaded in a low voice, "Miss, don't be angry, Miss Six is also kind."
"Good intentions?! What good intentions?!" Qin Xiang was angry, she clutched her cuffs tightly, her nails wanted to tear the cuffs, "Look at her, she was disrespectful to me in the house, and now she is getting along with her every day. Qin Wan got mixed up, and now she can talk to me like this! She is extremely jealous, jealous of the young master of the Bai family showing favor to me, and she has never even seen the young master of the Bai family! And that Qin Wan, She just can't see me well, I used to be above her, and then she got to know Taichang Princess's family and thought that she could surpass me in every way, but now the young master of the Bai family is not something she can get close to, she just isn't convinced !"
Wan He just wanted to persuade her, but seeing Qin Xiang's angry face, she didn't dare to say any more. Qin Xiang saw that everyone entered the house but no one cared about her, so she turned around and walked to her yard...
"It doesn't matter if it's snowing heavily, I'll wait for Young Master Bai to come back!"
In the room, Qin Yan was looking at the sky outside. Although he was anxious, he said, "I thought it was just a two-day stay, but I didn't expect it to be so long after the snow. I have been bothering here for too long this time. I was here to stay quiet and accompany my wife to recuperate from her illness, but now we have disturbed it, I am really sorry... "
Sun Muqing said lightly, "Mr. Qin, don't worry. You just lived in the west side of the house and didn't go to the east side. How can you talk about disturbing? Uncle Dong and the others are just trying to save time. It makes Mr. Qin and the ladies feel very neglected—"
"Where there is, Sun Miracle Doctor is worthy of the name of Miracle Doctor, and he should have a high and lonely temperament." Qin Yan naturally only had words of praise in his mouth, and then said, "Young Master Sun has helped us a lot this time, if it wasn't for this, we really I don't know what to do."
Qin Yan and Sun Muqing were worried about their guilt. Qin Wan and Qin Shuang were just listening. After a while, Aunt Lin's voice came from the gate of the yard, "Master Biao? Is Mr. Qin here?"
A few people rushed out to see, and saw Aunt Lin standing at the door with a food box and said, "Master Biao and the guests are here? Do you want to put breakfast in the yard here?"
Sun Muqing looked at Qin Yan, who immediately smiled and said, "It doesn't matter where you place it."
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Lin walked in with a smile. Aunt Lin had a round face, and she looked very kind. Aunt came in and smiled and said, "Aunt Lin, do you still have tea cakes today? Your tea cakes are the best in the south, and the best teahouses outside can't compare to them!"
When Aunt Lin heard this, she immediately beamed, "Yes, yes! Miss Six can eat as much as she wants. The tea garden received a lot of new tea earlier, but the master didn't like to drink it, so the servants and servants stayed and planned to make tea cakes. Yes, speaking of it, the young master doesn’t like to eat this on weekdays, and the wife often falls asleep, and the tea cakes made by the slaves are cheaper than old Dong’s, fortunately Miss Six is here.”
These words only made everyone laugh, Aunt Lin entered the house with a food box, opened the food box, and there were some very delicate side dishes inside, Aunt Lin said again, "I go out to buy fresh vegetables half a month in the house. , now that it's snowing, it will take some time, and the meals for the past few days are a bit simple, so don't blame Master Biao and the guests."
Uncle Dong also said this just now, and Qin Yan said it just now. Aunt Lin had set out the side dishes, but there was no food. I waited for a long time with some guests, so I came here first, I am afraid he is still on the way after filling the porridge."
At this moment, Qin Shuang asked Aunt Lin how to make the tea cakes. Seeing that Qin Shuang liked her craft so much, Aunt Lin naturally gave her all her money. Qin Shuang called Wan Qing to write it down quickly. After listening to it, he asked again, "How can Aunt Lin make this tea cake? Aunt Lin seems to be from Yizhou, and Yizhou also likes this?"
Aunt Lin also laughed and said, "Yizhou is not prosperous, it is very strange to say that the servant girl had a serious illness earlier, this tea cake was only made after the serious illness, and it was just a trial at that time , but if you do it casually, everyone says it’s delicious.”
"That's really strange. Aunt Lin is still very skilled!"
Qin Shuang didn't know how to say compliments in the past, but now she just opened her mouth. Aunt Lin was full of smiles. After waiting for a long time, she didn't see the little chestnut who brought the porridge. Aunt Lin frowned and said, "What's the matter with this child? Could it be that it was spilled halfway?"
Sun Muqing hurriedly said, "Aunt Lin, don't be in a hurry. It's snowing heavily today, and it's a long way from the kitchen. It's very likely that the porridge was spilled!"
Aunt Lin sighed, "Speaking of which, today is also strange. Usually, the handyman in the kitchen is Xiao Songzi, who is about the same age as Xiao Lizi, but this morning, Xiao Songzi disappeared, and I don't know where he went. Xiao Lizi is not familiar with these kitchens. The servants worried about the chores of running errands and delivering meals before they came over."
Aunt Lin waited at the door. Although she was comforted by Sun Muqing, she was still a little anxious in her heart. Sun Muqing was her own, but Qin Yan and the others were guests.
After waiting for a while and still not seeing Xiao Lizi coming over, Aunt Lin sighed, "It must be something wrong with this child, please wait a moment, servants go back and have a look, I really need Xiao Songzi..."
After saying that, Aunt Lin went out of the house and walked towards the courtyard door. Sun Muqing wanted to call Aunt Lin to stop, but she was really anxious and didn't stop her, but seeing Aunt Lin was about to walk out of the courtyard door, a figure suddenly Suddenly ran to the gate of the courtyard, everyone in the room felt relieved when they saw that Xiao Lizi came——
And Aunt Lin, who was walking by the gate of the courtyard, also said, "Why are you here now?!"
After the words were lost, Aunt Lin saw that Xiao Lizi's hands were empty, she frowned, and asked, "Why did you come here empty-handed? Where's the porridge? I asked you to take the porridge!"
Little Lizi seemed to be rushing all the way. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he held the gate with one hand and kept panting. After Aunt Lin finished questioning him, he said in a hoarse voice, "Something... something happened, Aunt Lin..."
Aunt Lin frowned, "What happened? You spilled the porridge?"
Xiao Lizi immediately shook her head, "No... yes... something happened to Xiao Songzi! He died!"
"What!" Aunt Lin yelled softly, and Qin Yan and the others in the room all stared wide-eyed in an instant!
Komatsuko is dead? ! Did they hear correctly—
Qin Wan and Sun Muqing stood up and walked out at the same time, Qin Yan and Qin Shuang hurriedly followed!
