Chapter 185 I Know Everything
It turns out that there is a room full of books?
Shen Jiasui felt incredible, and as he stepped inside, his eyes were already stinging.
When she looked carefully inside the ear room, she understood.
There was a jar and a basin placed in each corner of the ear room. Shen Jiasui looked to the nearby corner and saw that the jar was filled with lime and the basin was filled with charcoal blocks.
Hanging in bunches on the mahogany bookshelf are the pungent Sichuan peppercorns, and scattered in front of the books on the shelf are piles of camphor leaves.
Although Shen Jiasui was the daughter of a general, she was well educated and knew some common sense.
Lime and carbon blocks are used to prevent moisture, while pepper and camphor leaves are used to repel insects.
But every household can only put a few in the study or library at most. After all, there are people coming and going in the house, and the smell of them cannot be a problem.
Unlike this mother Mo, the overwhelming amount of pepper and camphor leaves can suffocate people to death if they stay there for a while!
At this time, Shen Jiasui was already certain that the things that Mother Mo had kept for Gu Xizhi must be here.
News came back in the evening that the thing Mother Mo handed to Gu Xizhi was wrapped in silk cloth, so it must be light and easy to carry.
So it seems to be a book? Is it a letter?
Shen Jiasui was puzzled as he looked at the bookshelves filled with books. If they were really books or letters, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack here.
at this time--
“Cough cough cough!”
Suddenly, a series of rapid coughing sounds were heard outside the house, and it seemed that Mother Mo had woken up!
Shen Jiasui shuddered, guessing that he might have just opened the door of the ear room, causing the strong smell to spread out and irritate Mother Mo.
Soon, the rustling sound of clothes was heard outside, and candlelight was lit again.
The sound of cups clinking followed closely, and Mother Mo seemed to get up to drink water.
At this time, Shen Jiasui had an idea.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
The sound was particularly clear in the silent night.
Now that the raccoon has learned how to call, the mouse will naturally not be left behind.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and the candlelight was getting closer.
Bang!
The door of the ear room was pushed open with great force!
Shen Jiasui huddled on the beam, curled up as tightly as possible, and hid behind a pillar. He saw the candlelight reflecting Mother Mo's anxious face.
She seemed to be choked by the smell in the room and sneezed several times. Her originally groggy head became much clearer.
"How come there are still mice?"
Mother Mo muttered to herself hastily, and immediately went to check the rat cage in the corner, and then to look at the food mixed with arsenic next to the jar, but found nothing.
"That's strange. I guess I'll have to catch a raccoon tomorrow."
Mother Mo muttered, turned around and was about to go out, but when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and turned back to look at the first bookshelf.
The girl was so happy to see that she had preserved the things well today and even praised her.
Now is the critical moment. We have worked hard over the years and we cannot make any mistakes.
Thinking of this, Mother Mo turned back and walked towards the first bookshelf with a clear goal. She took out one of the books naturally, held it in her hands and quickly flipped through it, with a relieved smile on her face.
She performed the same action three times in a row, but stood in a different position each time.
Shen Jiasui hid on the beam, not caring about the stinging pain in his eyes from the smoke, and carefully memorized the location of Mo's mother.
When things are urgent, people must first check the most important things, like protecting the treasure of their hearts. If they lose it, everything will be over. This is human nature.
Therefore, Shen Jiasui imitated the sound of a mouse and lured Mother Mo over to lure her to expose herself.
I don’t know if she had finished the examination or was relieved and didn’t need to look any further, but Mother Mo turned and left.
Only then did she raise her sleeve to wipe her face. It turned out that she had already been in tears due to the smoke and was sure that she could not stay any longer.
Squeak——
The door was closed and the candlelight gradually faded away.
Hearing the noise outside, Mother Mo seemed impatient to wash her face. It took her a long time to extinguish the candle and get on the couch.
Shen Jiansui's tears fell down, and he felt his entire nasal cavity was burning. He landed quietly on the ground.
She first listened to the noise outside for a while, then walked impatiently to the third bookshelf closest to her, raised her hand and gently pulled out the third book from the left on the top row.
The next moment, she was seen imitating Mother Mo's way of raising her hand and quickly flipping through the book, but suddenly she stopped.
There was a letter tucked into the open book, and the envelope was unsigned.
Shen Jiansui's hands trembled slightly as he took out the letter, but he did not forget to turn the open book upside down on the shelf to prevent Mother Mo from noticing the wrong page.
The envelope was in good condition, but looked old, with slightly yellowed corners.
The mouth is open.
Shen Jiasui stretched out two fingers to pick up the letter paper. It was not thin, at least two sheets were folded together.
The room was very dark. In order to prevent moisture, Mother Mo pasted several layers of paper on the windows of the ear room, resulting in dim light.
After Shen Jiasui unfolded the letter, he moved as close to it as possible, and then he could barely make out the words on the letter.
No one knew what Shen Jiasui saw. Her eyes, which were not covered by the black cloth, suddenly widened.
At this moment, there seemed to be surging waves in her eyes, and she had obviously seen something extremely incredible.
But after the shock, anger burned in her eyes. Her slender eyebrows were raised high in resentment, and looked even more fierce against the black cloth covering her face.
Shen Jiansui's hands were shaking, but she didn't dare to crumple the letter paper. She tried hard to suppress her emotions, causing her chest to heave violently and a trace of pain appeared on her face.
After reading just one letter, she understood everything.
I understood Gu Xizhi’s thoughts and what the “evidence” from her previous life was.
At this moment, many impulsive thoughts flashed through Shen Jiasui's mind, but in the end, they all turned into a restrained and forbearing shake of the head.
She said that she was no longer the impulsive Shen Jiasui in her previous life, so she must not alert the enemy today.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui gradually restored the letter paper to its original state, stuffed it into the envelope, and then walked to the second bookshelf.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. The sound of Mother Mo's snoring could be faintly heard outside.
Shen Jiasui stepped out of the ear room lightly and left as quietly as he came.
In the darkness outside the courtyard, the two men under Shen Zhengsheng were getting anxious.
A slight sound was heard, and they both turned their heads to look. Seeing Shen Jiasui returning safely, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, when they saw Shen Jiasui's red eyes in the moonlight, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"Miss?"
The two spoke silently.
Shen Jiasui was extremely confused at the moment. He made a quick gesture to the two of them and then nodded heavily.
The two were obviously stunned for a moment, but the next moment, Shen Jiasui ran in the opposite direction from when he came and disappeared into the darkness.
What she meant just now was: they parted ways here, and the two of them went back to report first.
Now Shen Jiasui's figure could no longer be seen. The two looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to obey the order and return home first.
…
Shen Jiasui was walking alone in the darkness, tears streaming down his face. But at this moment, it was not because he was choking, but because he was so sad that he could not bear it.
For the sad truth and also for the tragic deaths of the entire Shen family in the previous life.
She hurried on her way and entered a courtyard with ease. That was the stealth route that the owner of the courtyard had specially left for her.
When he landed, someone came to stop him: "Who is coming?"
Shen Jiasui directly lifted the veil, revealing her true face.
Standing opposite was Bei Feng, whose expression had changed drastically at this moment.
“Miss Shen!?”
"Where is your young master?" Shen Jiasui spoke while suppressing his trembling voice.
Before Bei Feng could answer, a man came quickly behind him.
When Shen Jiasui saw this figure, everything in front of him became blurred.
She rushed forward and said in a trembling voice: "Ah Xun, I know everything. I know everything."
