Night falls.
The world was shrouded in darkness. The moonlight on a dark and windy night was like a dark cloud pressing down on a city, threatening to destroy it. The cicadas were chirping continuously at night.
Xiao Xu shook his wings and woke up. His small black eyes blinked and his gaze fell on the window propped up by two sticks, where a faint candlelight was coming out.
Attracting Xiao Xu.
Xiao Xu flapped his wings and landed on the window sill, tilting his little head and looking inside silently.
The candlelight was dim, and the child's thin face was slightly lowered, reading a yellowed and worn book in his little hands. It seemed that he did not notice Xiao Xu's arrival, so Xiao Xu boldly looked around the room.
Shabby, simple and old.
At first glance, it seems that the bed is not a bed and the table is not a table.
Xiao Xu really wanted to fly to the child and see what book he was reading so that he could determine which dynasty he had traveled to.
But... those cold eyes from the afternoon before were still lingering in its mind.
Xiao Xu shrank his head and lay there motionless.
But in the blink of an eye, the candle burned out and the child stopped turning the pages of the book.
We need to add new candles, Xiao Xu thought.
The child silently put down the book, jumped off the high stool, and walked towards the wooden bed with small steps. His face looked serious and solemn, but Xiao Xu could not ignore his rumbling stomach.
The child struggled to climb onto the wooden bed, lay down and closed his eyes.
After a while.
Are you asleep?
Xiao made a small chirp but there was no response.
Fell asleep.
Flapping his wings, Xiao Xu flew in slowly and carefully.
After circling the child, he rushed to the table.
Halfway through the flight, Xiao Xu smelled an unpleasant odor and glanced towards the window. The wooden window, which was supported by two thick wooden poles, was closed, and a small black wooden stick with a hollow hole in the middle, like a straw, was inserted into a thin gap in the window paper, blowing an unpleasant odor into it.
Xiao Xiaodou glared and quickly flew over. Without thinking, he blocked the hole in the pipe with his entire head.
Perhaps knowing that the pipe was blocked, the person outside pulled it back suddenly and inserted it in another place. Xiao Xu became angry and flew over to block it again. He did this back and forth several times. The person outside seemed to be very annoyed and did not continue for a long time.
Just a little while longer.
Confirm that the person is leaving.
Xiao Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help feeling a little tired.
It fluttered and turned.
And in the darkness, a pair of cold eyes stared at it closely.
Xiao was so scared that he almost fell down.
"You are quite intelligent," the child said, indifferently, and walked past Xiao Ling, tiptoed to open the window again, pursed his lips and continued:
"Let's go, don't come again."
Xiao Xu flapped his wings and flew out of the window, but he did not forget to look back. The child's dark, bright and cold eyes were unforgettable.
The next day.
Awakened by the crisp sound of birdsong, Xiao Xu shook his little head, shook his body, and blinked his round little eyes.
A few people walked under the tree, holding delicious meals in their hands.
"Xiaohong, is the Third Young Master moving to the countryside today?"
"Yes, the Third Young Master is also a pitiful person."
The two maids in green robes were talking quietly, which happened to attract the attention of a steward in front. The steward strode over and shouted:
"What are you arguing about? If you mess with the young master, you'll be in trouble. As for what you have in your hands, leave it to me."
"Ah... this is for the Third Young Master..."
The steward snorted heavily, not caring at all.
"What Third Young Master? From now on, there will no longer be any Third Young Master in the Shen Mansion. Be smart and don't talk about these things in front of the master, otherwise you may lose your head one day."
The two maids were so frightened that they immediately fell to their knees and trembled on the ground.
"Yes, Manager Liu."
