Chapter 42: The girl who doesn't know good and bad
But if Eunuch Chen didn't move away, Chu Qiao had no choice. She tried to slowly loosen the protruding stone with one hand, trying to find a good support point to start her attack, but the force on the other foot increased and the stone could not bear the load.
, suddenly loosened and fell, Chu Qiao screamed, and her body fell straight down.
"Let, let go, save..."
Before the word "fate" could be shouted out, she felt her arm being grabbed hard, and then with a tug, her body deviated from the trajectory of her fall and crashed directly into the arms of a person, who hugged her.
He grabbed her waist and placed her firmly on the ground.
"You can't climb the mountain, but you still have to be brave?" A deep voice sounded in my ears with a little reproach.
Chu Qiao turned her eyes in shock and saw the handsome face close at hand. He was frowning and staring at her. His arms remained in a deadlock and did not move away from her waist.
The moment of sluggishness made Chu Qiao feel even more embarrassed.
"I'm not, it's okay..."
She shyly pushed his arm, and at this moment, he came back to his senses, calmly pulled his arm back, took a step back, and opened the distance between him and her, with a slightly unnatural expression on his face.
Did he save her again?
Chu Qiao stood on the ground, her heart still beating loudly. She didn't know whether this heartbeat was because she was frightened by the fall just now, or because she was in too close contact with a strange man.
His warmth was still on her waist, making her feel hot inexplicably.
Is this reaction normal? Of course it is not. Although the man in front of me looks suave and handsome, he is not a man at all. He is Eunuch Chen from the Imperial Hospital, a eunuch.
Chu Qiao's face flushed for a while, then gradually turned white. The first heartbeat in her life was actually caused by an eunuch. The ripples in her heart were too abnormal.
"Sir, there is nothing here, what are you doing here?" On the hillside, Liu Zhang and Xu Jin searched around for a long time, but found nothing strange.
Their shouts made Chu Qiao come back to her senses immediately, forgetting her embarrassment just now, she raised her head eagerly and responded loudly.
"Look at the trunk and branches of the pine tree to see if there is condensed yellow oil, and then look at the rocks below the pine tree to see if there are any traces of dripping."
After Chu Qiao shouted, she realized that the man in brocade clothes named Liu Zhang was just looking at him silently without making any move, and Xu Jin didn't seem to want to pay attention to her.
"You, you guys..." Chu Qiao opened and closed her mouth and was speechless. They climbed up quite quickly, but unfortunately it was of no use.
"Liu Zhang, Xu Jin, do as she said."
Beside Chu Qiao, the man shouted an order with his hands behind his back.
Liu Zhang's face was filled with anger, but he had to lower his head and start checking. Xu Jin also jumped up to check the rocks.
Chu Qiao's face turned gloomy. These two guys only listened to Eunuch Chen and turned a deaf ear to her words, which made her feel even more shameless, so she kept silent and just waited for the results of the examination.
After a while, Liu Zhang and Xu Jin finished checking and shouted loudly.
"There are many, but... Sir, we are wasting our time by doing this. A female handyman carrying water, what does she know?"
"No, I have evidence."
Chu Qiao was unconvinced. They had been investigating for so many days but still had no results. Could it be that they wanted to arrest the water-carrying eunuch in the imperial kitchen and charge him with it?
"How can we take what a little water-tendering maid says seriously? My lord, wait until I get down and teach this ignorant girl a lesson."
Xu Jin's eyes widened, as if he wanted to teach Chu Qiao a lesson.
