Chapter 425: Chen Zhao's Extra (4)
"Hmm." Xia Wanqing looked back and forth at Shen Zhaozhi, "It seems that there is still something different."
She took out another silk thread from her bosom and passed it around Chen Zhaozhi's back.
"Don't move." She warned him and tied the string behind Shen Zhaozhi's head.
The warmth of her fingers caressing through her hair went straight to her heart.
So gentle...
"Okay, get up and come with me!" Xia Wanqing slapped him on the back.
"Where are you going?!" Chen Zhaozhi stood up quickly.
"Go play with the others." Xia Wanqing said, "Come on, follow me, you won't suffer any loss."
Chen Zhaozhi didn't believe it. What was she trying to do? Pretend to be a monster too?!
Xia Wanqing was the first to walk to the open space outside. Several children were already playing games. When they saw Xia Wanqing, they all came forward, but when they saw Shen Zhaozhi behind her, they retreated.
"Sister Wanqing, why are you with a monster!" A child shouted loudly, glanced at the gloomy Shen Zhaozhi, and quickly took two steps back.
Xia Wanqing is not the oldest, but because she is tall and good at fighting, the children respectfully call her Sister Wanqing.
"What monster or not!" Xia Wanqing shook her head. "Look at me, am I a monster too?!"
The children looked closely and found that Xia Wanqing also had two ears on her head, exactly the same as the one on Shen Zhaozhi's head!
Could it be...
Xia Wanqing untied the thin straps and showed everyone the fake ears she had strung together.
"From today on, I, Xia Wanqing, will establish the 'Fox God Cult'. I will be the leader, and he will be the leader's follower." She pointed at Chen Zhaozhi behind her.
"Who wants to join? Sign up now and you'll get a pair of ears tomorrow!" Xia Wanqing said proudly, "From now on, you'll follow me, the leader!"
"I'm in!"
"Me too!"
Xia Wanqing was the leader of the children. As soon as she called out, everyone was willing to play with her, not to mention that they could get such beautiful ears.
Soon, everyone joined the Fox God Cult and everyone had ears on their heads.
No one questioned Shen Zhaozhi's identity anymore. Everyone was very friendly to him, and some even apologized to him for what they had done before.
He finally integrated into the children's group!
He can play tag with other kids and have fun without fear.
"Come here!" Sometimes Xia Wanqing would grab his hand and rush out of the crowd, telling him fiercely that the thread on his head was loose.
"If the string falls off and the ears are still on his head, he'll be exposed!" She would tie it back on for him. "It's really worry-free."
Thanks to Xia Wanqing's attentiveness, Chen Zhaozhi was never discovered by his friends again.
There are still rumors in the outside world that he is a monster, but the children don't believe it because Xia Wanqing protects him.
But more often than not, Chen Zhaozhi and Xia Wanqing would be alone together, the eldest lady and her follower.
It is often difficult to notice the beginning of love, and by the time you really notice it, it is already too late to escape.
Chen Zhaozhi didn't know how to get along with girls. He thought that boys should meet all the girls' requirements, pour water for her when she drank tea, run errands for her to buy food when she was hungry, and enjoy it very much.
When they grow up a little, they understand more.
Chen Zhaozhi can already control his ears easily and doesn't need Xia Wanqing's help, but he still can't leave her.
They understand the love between men and women, and also understand the precautions between men and women.
They met less often and could no longer play hand in hand like they used to, but every meeting was exciting and exciting.
The occasional touching of hands and the occasional meeting of eyes make people feel their heartbeat and breathing quicken.
At that time, they both felt that they would be each other's only ones in the future.
...But things in this world won't always go smoothly.
The court was in turmoil, with the Xia family and the Grand Master in two opposing camps.
Xia Jia is the heir to the future Minister of War. He knows that the Grand Master has used his status as the Grand Master to deceive the people, confiscate money, and even kill people, so he and his colleagues impeach the Grand Master.
The two sides are like water and fire.
This suddenly made Xia Wanqing and Shen Zhaozhi's identities very awkward.
Lord Xia directly asked Xia Wanqing not to continue associating with Shen Zhaozhi unless he turned over a new leaf.
But Chen Zhaozhi never thought that his master was a bad person.
…
"...Impossible, what you heard were all rumors. My master is not that kind of person." The twelve-year-old Chen Zhaozhi was very determined.
Xia Wanqing was used to being spoiled by him, so she just said, "My father couldn't be wrong. He said that your master appears to be a compassionate monk, but in fact he has committed many evil deeds. Not only does he burn incense to deceive people, he also kills people to make elixirs!"
How could Chen Zhaozhi hear this?
His master saved him from danger, taught him how to practice, and gave him status. He was a person closer to him than his father.
He was compassionate and often treated people for free. Many officials in the court came to him when their family members were sick.
How could he be a bad guy!
"You must have made a mistake!" Chen Zhaozhi said, "If he is the kind of person you say he is, why doesn't the emperor punish him? And why does he let him be the Grand Master?"
Xia Wanqing also took advantage of the fact that no one was around and said boldly: "The emperor was also deceived! If you don't believe it, go back and ask your master and see how he deceived you!"
This was the first time the two parted on bad terms.
Chen Zhaozhi was very depressed, because this was not the first time he had heard people speak ill of his master. Some of the stories were detailed and full of emotion, as if he had seen them with his own eyes.
Could it be that he really took the thief as his master?
Is the master really a blood-sucking devil?
Chen Zhaozhi went back in a daze, not knowing where to go. When he came to his senses, he was already under his master's tower.
He looked up and saw a flash of light at the top of the tower. Knowing that his master was still there, he rushed up.
I had just climbed to the top floor and before I could enter the room, I heard the master's kind voice.
"Why are you here so late? Have you had dinner?" The Grand Master came out and touched Shen Zhaozhi's head with a smile.
Chen Zhaozhi felt hot on his head, and his heart suddenly couldn't hold it anymore, so he burst into tears.
"Master... they all think you're a bad person, someone who will harm and kill people." He blurted out, "Are you really a bad person?"
The Grand Master smiled gently and said, "They also say you are a monster. Have you ever harmed anyone?"
Just a few words made Shen Zhaozhi feel much more comfortable.
Yes, people outside don’t know the full picture and believe everything they hear. How can they understand Master’s foresight?
"Come in, Zhaozhi." The master led him into the stone room on the top of the tower.
Chen Zhaozhi was not allowed to go to the top of the tower before, and this was his first time coming in.
He took a look inside and his heart skipped a beat.
There is a dead person!
There is a large pool in the middle of the room. No one knows what liquid is inside. It is light blue and has a light fragrance.
But the things inside were not "fragrant" at all, they were actually several floating dead bodies!
