Chapter 37
"Sister!" Qiongzhi said anxiously, "This is no joke. How can you still have the heart to eat?"
Seeing Shen Jiao really light the lamp and find the crispy meat, Qiongzhi was so angry that she almost stomped her feet numb, broke it into pieces and said to her,
"Sister, can you please be more careful? He is the master and we are the servants. If he really wants to do something, it will be difficult for us to escape. What should we do then?"
"What should I do..." Shen Jiao said nonchalantly, "There's still some mixed vegetables here, but they don't taste very good."
"Sister!!!" Qiongzhi was about to scream.
Shen Jiaocai said slowly: "Oh, why are you so worried? Didn't you say that he is the master and we are the servants? If he really wants to do something, there is nothing we can do."
"We can't just accept our fate! There must be a way, as long as, as long as we think about it carefully!" Qiongzhi was so anxious that she was spinning around in circles.
Shen Jiao said: "Why think about that? I don't care."
"Sister!" Qiongzhi stopped and glared at her.
That look was really full of anger at his lack of fighting spirit and sadness at his misfortune.
Shen Jiao laughed out loud: "Qiongzhi, you look like a rabbit when you are angry."
Qiongzhi: ...
"Then I should bite him to death..." After saying this expressionlessly, Qiongzhi pursed her lips and became furious.
"Sister, please be serious."
"I'm serious about it," Shen Jiao said as she ate mouthful after mouthful. "I don't care what he does. Besides, he might not do anything.
You saw it too, didn't you? He chose to move away, not come closer. It's not that scary."
"Sister, you can't judge a person by his appearance. He may look like a human being now, but he might turn into a devil in a moment. You are young and don't know how dangerous it is. If you don't take precautions now, it will be too late to regret it later." Shen Jiao finally stopped laughing after hearing her say this. Instead, he showed a thoughtful look and nodded.
"Your tone...similar to my master's."
Qiongzhi: ...
She is so tired.
She was so tired.
"Sister, are you listening to me?"
"Listen, don't worry, you don't know what kind of person I am. I'm the most reliable one, I know what I'm talking about."
"Really?" Qiong Zhila looked doubtful with a frown on her face.
"Of course it's true," Shen Jiao said, putting down her chopsticks. "At worst, I can just take the initiative and get him into bed. Don't worry, eat quickly. I'm going back to sleep first."
Shen Jiao patted her and walked out with big strides.
Qiongzhi would be surprised if she wasn't worried, and: "Why are there only cold dishes?! Wait! Which bed is she sleeping on?"
Qiongzhi rushed to the door with her eyes wide open, and watched Shen Jiao return to her room before returning to the kitchen to eat some cold dishes. She felt so upset while eating that she wanted to cry but had no tears, thinking: What should I do?
Little did he know that Xue Shun in the main room was also mumbling dejectedly: "What should I do?"
What he thinks is one thing, but some things... seem to be another.
He glanced down and sighed again.
What is this called...
The old man sent him a medicine slave to take care of him, but he had such...shameful thoughts about him.
Could it be that after spending so long in that kind of place, people have become like animals? They start to think inappropriately about anything they see? Is this even possible? It's never happened before... Could it be that it's just age?
Just like an animal, it starts at a certain time and gets better after a while?
Maybe, he had heard that some people were no longer able to function after the age of twenty-four or twenty-five.
Then there were 17, 18, 19... 21... 25, so many years...
Let’s go find Doctor Sun.
No one had told him about this, and Xue Shun didn't quite understand it. He made a desperate decision to ask Doctor Sun for some medicine next time.
Then he calmed down and made his river lantern.
Perhaps he was thinking about something during the day, as he dreamed of Shen Jiao again at night.
Just like yesterday, the two of them were very close. She bandaged the wound on his hand, her eyes gentle and her face beautiful. He stared at her for a long time, and suddenly met her eyes. He was at a loss when he heard her ask, "What are you thinking about, sir?"
Her eyes moved down and fixed on something, as if she realized something. He stammered, unable to defend himself.
Her always smiling face suddenly turned cold and stern. She stabbed his palm with the embroidery needle she used to pick thorns without hesitation. Before Xue Shun felt the pain, she glared at him with disgust and said without a trace of emotion: "Xue Shun, I really want to kill you! You disgusting freak! You are a thing, but you think everyone else is the same as you?"
The sound was not loud at all, but it woke Xue Shun up immediately. He was still sitting on the table, making river lanterns. His hand was pierced by bamboo strips and was bleeding.
The little maid on duty was sitting not far away stacking gold ingots and didn't notice anything happening here.
Just like usual, they were not as alert as Shen Jiao. They could not immediately notice and come over to ask, let alone kill someone for him. Even if it was a lie, they would not agree to it.
So Xue Shun felt that she was the best person to him...
Just like the man that Shi Ruge met in the building, he didn't expect Shen Jiao to save him from the fire and water. He knew that Shen Jiao was also helpless. He was just...
Xue Shun couldn't say what he wanted.
But that's definitely not what he was thinking!
Xue Shun sat there with a pale face for a long while, and suddenly he silently untied the cloth strips, sharpened the bamboo strips and poked his hand again and again. It hurt at first, but later it turned into a strange feeling.
Sober and refreshing.
He gradually calmed down and stopped thinking about those messy things. He just kept cutting, not knowing how hard to cut.
By the time the night watch maid's neck was stiff from exhaustion, when she raised her head, half of the table was covered with blood.
"Master! What are you doing?!!!"
Her sharp voice pierced the quiet night.
Xue Shun came back to his senses and said to her with a pale face: "What are you arguing about? Clean up and go to sleep."
He dropped the bamboo strips in his hand and fell down the moment he stood up.
"Someone come quickly, something happened, go get a doctor!"
This was also someone who was familiar with the nature of sisters. Knowing that the shouting just now might not attract anyone, she immediately opened the door and shouted, and even rushed over to knock on the door. When someone came out, she asked, "What happened?"
Fu Xueshun, who had just hurried back, shouted, "Young Master has injured himself and lost a lot of blood. Go and get Doctor Sun."
"What?"
I was unable to react for a moment when the door was opened.
Shen Jiao said loudly: "Young Master is injured, go get a doctor quickly, don't be stunned."
"Got it, I'll go right away!"
Qiongzhi gritted her teeth, pushed away the person standing in front of the door, and rushed out.
The others couldn't sleep either, so they all put on their clothes and came out.
Jin Yuyinhua and Shen Jiao had already arrived at the main house. After seeing the terrible scene, they quickly sent them back.
It’s late at night, go back to sleep, there’s no point in having too many people.
