After not sleeping all night, Xiao Han stared at the beams on the roof in trance. Even the snoring of Xiaodong and Lengzi could not make him feel even a little bit sleepy.
Feng Ang, Mrs. Xian, Xiao Lizi, Xue Pan.
State affairs, family affairs, world affairs.
Even as far away as Lingnan, these things were pressing down on him like a mountain, so much that he could hardly breathe.
Not long ago, Xiao Han thought that this trip to Lingnan was just a simple trip, so he took it for granted as a journey to exile his own soul.
Unexpectedly, it was only after arriving here that I realized that this so-called simple journey was actually not simple at all! And my own journey of exile was just jumping from one whirlpool to another, bigger whirlpool.
"The waiter at the shop said that Mrs. Xian's memorial day will be in five days, and almost all the people who were close to the Feng family will come here! If the Feng family has different intentions, I suspect that he will take this opportunity to plot with those people.
Form an alliance! So we need to get involved among them and see their movements in order to find some clues."
After finally making it to daylight, Xiao Han, who was listless, was holding a big bowl and sipping the gruel one mouthful at a time while listening to Ren Qing chattering beside him, but his thoughts had already flown to nowhere.
In fact, he now wants to tell Ren Qing: Don't be obsessed with that so-called mission. Xiao Lizi called them here this time not to investigate the so-called mission at all!
But every time the words came to his lips, they would be mixed with gruel and swallowed into his stomach.
Most of the bowl of gruel went into his stomach, and Ren Qing finally finished speaking.
Xiao Han breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up and looked around, and suddenly found that Liu Hongji was not here. No wonder he felt that there was something missing this morning. It turned out that this guy's broken voice was missing.
"Where is Liu Hongji? Why didn't you see him?" Xiao Han frowned and asked Ren Qing in confusion.
"He went out. He went out last night and never came back."
When Xiao Han suddenly mentioned Liu Hongji, Ren Qing's face immediately darkened.
This guy hasn't come back since he rushed the waiter downstairs yesterday. If the fool hadn't seen him sneak into the shop next door, he would have thought that Feng An had kidnapped him.
"You haven't been back all night? Nothing will happen, right?" Xiao Han was too preoccupied last night and didn't even listen to the idiot talking about Liu Hongji's whereabouts. At this time, he couldn't help but become worried. He was about to ask what was going on, but at the door
Liu Hongji's feeble voice came out.
"I'm back, I'm back!"
Following this voice, Xiao Han's door was pushed open, and immediately after, Liu Hongji, covering his waist and eyes with a pair of dark circles, walked in from the outside.
"Old Liu, where have you been?" Xiao Han saw that Liu Hongji, who had always been vigorous and fierce, suddenly turned into this appearance. He was stunned for three seconds before he reacted and asked quickly.
"Stop talking, do you have something to eat? I'm starving to death!" Liu Hongji waved his hands towards Xiao Han sickly, sat down on the chair, then picked up a big bowl from someone on the table, and clucked.
I even took several mouthfuls of rice porridge until I drank the entire bowl of porridge. Then I put down the big bowl, wiped my mouth, and took a deep breath: "Comfortable!"
Xiao Han still didn't understand where Liu Hongji would be as tired as a donkey. Seeing him finish his porridge, he asked again: "Tell me, what did you do last night? How did you end up like this?"
"
"I?"
Liu Hongji, who was slumped on the chair, rolled his eyes, put down the big bowl, licked the porridge on his lips and said: "I did something big last night, did I successfully penetrate into the enemy's interior?"
"Invade the enemy?" Xiao Han became even more confused when he heard this. Looking at his haggard appearance, could it be that he broke into Feng's house at night last night?
"Don't listen to his nonsense!"
At this time, Ren Qing, who was standing by, finally couldn't stand the way Liu Hongji behaved despite getting an advantage, and snorted coldly: "This guy probably got into the room of the landlady next door yesterday, and he didn't come out until now!"
"The boss lady next door?" Xiao Han was startled, and then he suddenly realized. When he looked at Liu Hongji, his eyes became a little strange: "I said, Old Liu, you have been working hard all night, and they didn't even give you food?"
Liu Hongji rolled his eyes, raised his hands feebly and said, "Don't talk about eating, I didn't even drink water!"
Xiao Han took a breath and looked Liu Hongji up and down: "I'll go, this is too cruel! You're using people like donkeys!"
"More than just being used as a donkey? Donkeys are not so miserable!" Liu Hongji almost burst into tears when he heard Xiao Han complaining for him. He grabbed Xiao Han's hand and almost cried bitterly on the spot!
Xiao Han's lips trembled slightly, and he calmly took out his hand, coughing lightly and said: "Ahem, but let's talk about that, Lao Liu, your body is really strong, you didn't break down from fatigue all night!"
"Almost, almost!" Liu Hongji smiled bitterly and continued to slump on the chair and said: "But this night was also fruitful. Didn't you expect that the cloth shop next door was actually the Feng family's designated shopping place!
Their family will provide the gauze shed, white silk fabric, and black cloth that will be used for Mrs. Xian’s memorial day in a few days!
Because of my outstanding performance last night, their boss lady decided to hire me as a temporary clerk, so that I can sneak into the Feng family ancestral hall in the name of delivering cloth and setting up a show! When the time comes, I will think of another way to bring you two with me.
!”
"Going to the Feng Family Ancestral Hall?"
Originally, Ren Qing just looked at Liu Hongji as if he were laughing, but when he heard these four words, he finally couldn't sit still and hurriedly stood up and asked: "When!"
Liu Hongji patted his head, thought for a while and said: "It will probably be in two days. After all, those things need to be prepared in advance, and after they are set up, you don't have to leave. You need to wait for repairs and reinforcements at any time, and wait for everyone to disperse."
Finally, they have to be dismantled again, and the old cloths can be washed and sold to the next family."
"good!"
Until then, Ren Qing finally couldn't help but clapped his hands heavily, and looked at Liu Hongji no longer as disgusted as before: "General Liu, you have really made a great contribution this time! If you can find out anything, Lingnan
The first achievement of this trip belongs to you!"
"Oh? Hahaha, thank you, thank you!" Liu Hongji laughed loudly, maybe because he laughed too hard, twisted his waist, and suddenly his face started to twitch again.
"Hiss... damn! It hurts me so much! This little bitch is so cruel!"
"How cruel?" Xiao Han asked sourly from the side.
"How cruel?" Liu Hongji gritted his teeth and said, "You don't know! Such a big pool of cloth! It took me a whole night to wash it!"
