After parting from Changqing, I went back and thought about this issue carefully.
In addition, they have been teasing Shiloh outside some time ago, which has already aroused the suspicion of Alaiya and Heyue. So I didn't go out for the next few days, thinking behind closed doors about the future development direction of Yuxi City.
Two days ago, Heyue sent news that although the progress of the winter project was obviously slower, the northern industrial base was still completed. It is said to be an "industrial base", but it is actually a small factory building, similar to a test field. The machines inside are not complicated, but the biggest breakthrough is that it can convert the fire magic used by Felita into a long-lasting and stable current. And also made a set of equipment for chemical experiments.
As for the function of this industrial base, He Yue didn't ask, and I didn't say anything.
From Heyue's point of view, this factory building is mostly like my personal hobby, a toy. She didn't have a good understanding of the principles of these devices, and although she thought it was "interesting" that the bearing tracks turned, she didn't pay much attention to them. For Heyue, building these things by me is similar in essence to many lords wantonly building gorgeous palaces, and it is a way to burn money. But mine cost less, and it might come in handy someday, so he allowed it.
But at this stage, it is true.
I need to inspect it and decide what to use this factory for production in the future. The start of work will have to wait at least until the beginning of spring next year, when the ice and snow melt. At that time, businessmen will be more active, and the finished products can be sold immediately.
As for the Anbu organization, I said boldly that I can do things that Changqing can't do with ease. I'm more familiar with this, I don't know if it's because of heredity.
In fact, the establishment of this kind of personnel organization is left to He Yue, and it is estimated that a prototype can be made in two or three days. But I don't want Heyue to intervene here. On the one hand, Heyue is under enough pressure now, and on the other hand, since it is an underground organization, the lower the exposure, the better. After I seldom showed up, Heyue has become the planner of Yuxi City on the table, contacting a large number of people every day. Let him do this, it is difficult to keep it completely secret, and it may be leaked if he is not careful.
Also, in my opinion, I hope Anbu of Yuxi City and Heyue will not be involved too much, and it is best not to belong to each other. If He Yue is asked to find someone, she will be kind to those people, and it will be difficult to avoid suspicion in the future.
I sat alone in the office for a few days, but actually wrote very little. Most of the time it's just one person thinking about things.
As a result, about three days later, one day I was holding my cheek in a daze, when suddenly a rope fell in front of me. Immediately afterwards, Hilo, who was hanging upside down, slid a little bit in front of me. Because it was daytime, she didn't wear a night gown, she was still dressed in commoner clothes and skirts.
She looked at me with both eyes and said nothing.
I smiled and asked:
"Try without stabbing?"
Shilo stabbed softly, but I gently blocked it.
She put away the knife as if she had completed her task, and asked in a statement tone:
"You haven't been here recently."
I moved the cushion back, and Shiloh deftly turned one hundred and eighty degrees in the air, sat on the table in front of me, and then put away the rope. She stared at me, looking like she wanted an answer, but also seemed a little lonely. But these are all my conjectures, and her expression hasn't changed in any way.
I smiled and said:
"I've been busy recently. Next time I'll go fishing with you. The freshly caught fish will be prepared and chopped. With someone, I'll cook the soup directly. Milky white soup, large pieces of fish, chug chug, huh Taking a breath of hot air, I feel warm all over. If you have time, you can catch some golden whiskers, which are the kind of small bugs that hide in the soil under the roots of trees. They are shiny and suitable for fishing."
Hilo nodded slightly, swaying his little feet slightly, and whispered:
"Grilled fish too."
I naturally agreed.
Hilo folded his hands between his legs, sat in front of me for a while, took out a paper bag from his arms, and handed it to me. I took it and found a warm meat bun inside. I said why something was wrong with her today, and I thought it was because her breasts developed faster when she reached puberty, but I didn't expect it to be a hidden secret.
Hilo said stubbornly:
"For you to eat."
"I don't... I won't eat it. Thank you."
I wanted to say that I wasn't hungry, but seeing Shiloh looking at me without blinking, I ate it anyway. The warm steamed stuffed buns are not as delicious as they just came out of the pan, but I'm not too picky. After eating, I wiped the oil from the corners of my mouth with a handkerchief and asked:
"You came here to give me this?"
Shiloh nodded obediently.
She explained it simply:
"When I got up, I found two copper coins beside me. I bought this."
It is estimated that some people can't bear to watch her live and sleep at such a young age.
I recalled that two copper coins are almost the money to buy a steamed stuffed bun, so I asked:
"Didn't you eat it yourself?"
Hilo shook his head.
I rubbed her head and said:
"Then wait a minute, I'll make something for you to eat."
When I got to the kitchen, I found that there was not much left. I cooked a bowl of rice, but when I came back to the house, I found Shiloh was no longer there. I looked up and down, left and right, and after making sure she wasn't hiding in a corner, I put the rice on the table. At this moment, Bai Huang pushed the door open and came in, asking:
"Ah, where did you go just now?"
I casually pointed to the fried rice on the table and replied:
"I'm hungry, let's make something to eat."
Bai Huang gave an "oh" and said to me:
"Recently, if you have nothing to do, don't go out and wander around. Someone seems to have seen the traces of the assassin. Now there is a big search in the city. I took Heji away and left Alaya and Felita to protect you. You recently Like those boudoir girls who study and study, it is best to stay at home and leave the outside affairs to me."
I casually asked:
"How did you find out. Didn't you say that the assassin had two brushes?"
Baihuang said:
"I don't know. It was said that she was seen by someone when she was buying buns outside. It's really strange. You said that she is an assassin who went to the downtown area to buy buns in the middle of the day. Isn't that tantamount to surrendering herself? The bounty is so high. Everyone has been keeping an eye on the surroundings lately, she's like this... so boring. I didn't expect it to end up like this, I always feel like I haven't tried hard enough, she will die. Forget it, it's safe to catch her anyway Chant. You are busy, just wait for my good news!"
