He couldn't help but sneeze as soon as he finished speaking.
The sneeze was like a signal, and then, one sneeze after another followed.
"Lai Zi," Inspector Niu felt that his old bones were really too weak to continue, "My legs are numb, I'm going to the Huang family to get them massaged."
“Lai Zi,” Pan Lan also spoke up, “I have a bit of an upset stomach, I need to go to the Huang family’s to borrow a toilet.”
My mouth is slightly crooked.
My face is twitching a little.
"My nails are a bit long."
...
In no time at all, they all found excuses to slip away.
In the end, only the matchmaker who took the money to do the job and Huang Lao Er, scratching his head and trying to come up with an excuse, were left.
The excuse he came up with was taken by others, so he had to come up with a new one.
Finally, just as he was racking his brains, an idea flashed through his mind, and he excitedly exclaimed, "Brother Lai..."
“Shut up,” Lai Zi waved his hand. “I don’t want to hear you talk. Just stand there quietly. You won’t be long.”
"But it's only halfway through Chen Shi (7-9 AM), there's still..."
“There’s less than an hour left,” Lai Zi immediately replied. “It’s just a blink of an eye. What’s the rush? Just wait, we’ll need you sooner or later.”
"no……"
"It's nothing, just wait." Lai Zi didn't give Huang Lao Er a chance to speak at all.
The two of them stood there dumbfounded on either side of the gate until the sun was high in the sky.
The Huang family and the yamen runners lived a particularly comfortable life.
Drinking ginger soup, eating dried meat, and occasionally teasing Da Niu and Er Niu, the gloom of the morning completely disappeared.
The two little ones were incredibly excited to see so many people. They not only offered up all their hidden snacks, but also brought out the comic books that Jiang Nuan had spent several nights drawing for them.
“Grandpa Niu,” Da Niu said, pulling out a book like a treasure, “Let me show you my precious book, the extremely powerful Monkey King.”
He opened the book, pointed to a monkey wearing armor, and said, "This is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. He's incredibly powerful. Even the Jade Emperor can't defeat him, and he can't defeat anyone else."
“No,” Erniu sniffed and retorted, “Buddha is the most powerful, even more powerful than the Great Sage.”
"No, the Great Sage is the most powerful. No one is as powerful as him."
“You’re lying. Grandma said the monkey can’t escape,” Erniu tilted his head, and it took him a while to remember, “He can’t escape the Five Finger Mountain. Buddha is the most powerful.”
"The Great Sage is amazing."
"Buddha is powerful."
Neither of them would back down, and as they talked, they threw down their books and started fighting.
The inspector was completely bewildered and had no idea what the two little ones were talking about. Seeing this, he had no choice but to pick them up, one in each hand.
The two little ones, sitting on the ox inspector's lap, were still restless, reaching out and kicking each other as if trying to hit one another.
Pan Lan curiously picked up the book from the ground, glanced at it casually, and then became completely absorbed, her eyes glazed over, and she would occasionally exclaim, "Great Sage is mighty!"
“Pan Lan,” Inspector Niu stopped the two children from playing around, then asked, “Is this a storybook?”
Having worked together for so many years, Pan Lan had long since developed a physiological reflex to her boss's voice. Upon hearing this, she immediately replied, "It's not a storybook, it only has a few words, and it's all about little fighting figures. It's very good."
After saying that, he continued reading on his own.
“Niu Ping,” Inspector Niu gave him a look, “bring out your storybook, I want to take a look too.”
Pan Lan hadn't expected anyone to snatch her book, and without warning, Niu Ping pulled it away in an instant.
Wanting to take it back, he met Inspector Niu's inspired gaze and had no choice but to back down, rubbing his nose.
