After concentrating for a moment and looking around, she unexpectedly saw furry things all over the floor, including chicken feathers and some that looked like rabbit hair. Thinking of what the old beggar had said before, Hua Rujin couldn't help but turn her head and glance at the two
python.
Indeed, as the little girl said, they were all curled up together and taking a nap in a lazy manner, as if they were not wary at all.
"That big white python was almost captured two years ago. It was Ni Yatou who broke open the cage and rescued it. It must be the fate between them. I'm afraid this big white python has some spiritual knowledge and is so close to it.
When the mother and daughter were in danger, they brought them into this tunnel and went out to catch some prey every day to satisfy their hunger."
The old beggar walked to the two pythons, squatted down, and patted the big white python on the head: "Don't go up there anymore. This family is kind-hearted. They don't want to hurt you, so don't climb up either."
To scare people."
As if they could understand the old beggar's words, the two giant pythons stretched out their long snakes and vomited.
Hua Rujin was shocked when she saw it.
This is the first time I have seen such a spiritual snake.
All I have to do is witness the big white python turn into a white lady.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Hua Rujin immediately looked away and walked carefully to the stone platform.
He opened the thick quilt and looked at the stretched body in the quilt. The slender hair was scattered around the body, and the length of the hair had reached around the ankles.
She probably made a visual inspection and found that it was almost the same length as the long hair she picked up before.
"Since your mother-in-law wants you to live well, it's not a problem to hide in the tunnel all the time. It's cold and damp here, and it's not suitable to live for a long time. Come up with me."
Hua Rujin wanted to pick up the two quilts placed on top, but was stopped by the little girl: "I can't go up."
"Don't worry, I'm the only one in the entire inner courtyard up there. The west wing room you live in is also empty. As long as you stay in the inner courtyard, no one can find you."
Seeing her anxious expression, Hua Rujin patiently comforted her: "Besides, the new magistrate is different from other officials. If you really have any grievances, he will definitely find a way to make the decision for you."
Seeing this, the old beggar also came over to persuade: "Ni girl, just listen to this sister and go up there. She is kind-hearted and can always give you hot meals every day. Now your mother is dead."
Yes, although these two beasts won’t hurt you, you can’t stay with them forever.”
After a pause, he continued: "Besides, now that the county has been filling in the tunnels, and the hole in Huangli Gang has been filled in, it will not be easy for me to come see you again. Maybe one day the guards will find you here too."
It’s not easy to escape.”
After listening to the old beggar's words, the little girl hesitated for a long time, then turned around and kowtowed heavily to Hua Rujin, saying in a deep tone: "Thank you, sister."
"After all, it's me who occupies the magpie's nest, so you don't have to thank me."
Hua Rujin pulled her up and patted her shoulder gently.
After touching the cold corpse in the quilt and the shabby clothes on the woman's body, she couldn't bear to put the quilt back on her body.
Before leaving, the little girl turned around again, lay down in front of the woman and cried to herself for a long time, and then reluctantly followed Hua Rujin and the old beggar to crawl to the entrance of the cave.
Looking back, I saw the two giant pythons straightening their heads again and staring at this side, seemingly full of reluctance.
The little girl cried bitterly again, waving towards the giant python with tears in her eyes: "You must be well, and you can't be caught by bad guys again."
Seeing this scene, Hua Rujin turned away somewhat uncomfortable.
People and two giant pythons can get along so harmoniously, but I don't know what happened to the people above to force the mother and daughter into such a situation.
But she refused to say anything, and it was inconvenient for her to ask more questions.
The old beggar handed over an oil lamp and handed it into Hua Rujin's hand. He said in a deep voice: "Girl, please take more care of this child Nini."
"You won't go up with us?"
Hua Rujin looked at him coldly.
The old beggar jumped back into the hole with a slight jump: "I am a bad old man, how can I be unworthy to show up in your backyard in the middle of the night and let others find out?"
After saying that, he smiled and waved to the two of them: "Go ahead, I'll come over to see you in a few days. If you need lamp oil or something while reading, you can go down below to get it. There's nothing else here, and there are enough lamp oil pipes."
Seeing him turn around and leave, not knowing where he found so much lamp oil, Hua Rujin quickly warned: "Don't go out to cheat and steal food for her in the future."
Just as the old beggar turned around in emotion, Hua Rujin quickly added: "I'm afraid your body won't be able to withstand a beating."
The old beggar left angrily.
Hua Rujin put away the dagger, held up the oil lamp, said goodbye to the giant python with the girl in red, and then turned back toward the cave.
After asking a few questions on the way, I learned that her full name is Cheng Nini.
Back in the yard, Cheng Nini quickly ran to the back of the rockery and twisted a stone. After hearing a "creak", the secret passage in the west wing was closed again.
Hua Rujin was stunned: "The switch on the tunnel is actually hidden in this rockery, not in the west wing?"
Cheng Nini nodded: "I also learned from Grandpa Goupi."
"This old guy."
Hua Rujin murmured secretly: I don’t know how many unknown secrets the old beggar hides in his heart.
The night is like water and the moon is like a hook
In a teahouse opposite the Hua family's new house, a jade-white figure appeared on the attic. A pair of bright apricot eyes had been staring at the house opposite, holding a brand-new book in his hand, which he had not turned for a long time.
"She said she had something urgent to do, but the outside of the house was not locked and the courtyard door was closed, which shows that she did not go out."
Ye Chengguan was silently suspicious for a while, and then thinking about the scene of buying books in Ning Yuan Book Store that day, he suddenly noticed something.
Why did this young lady from the Hua family, a daughter of a good family, study "The Law of the Great Industry"?
He didn't believe that this girl was really idle and had no interest in reading.
Thinking of He Shiyin, his mind gradually sobered up: I'm afraid that this young lady from the Hua family also wanted to get a share of the legal action.
Thinking of this, he slowly closed the classics in his hand worriedly.
Under the light, the three characters "Law of Litigation" were clearly reflected on the cover.
Today's Jiangling City, both in officialdom and among the people, is in a state of chaos, largely because of the obstruction of these unscrupulous litigants.
On the one hand, they colluded with the government, and on the other hand, they deceived the people into instigating lawsuits. As a result, the government backlogged more cases and the people filed lawsuits with no results. It can be said that they were playing both sides.
Thinking about the Dou family's affairs again, Ye Cheng's brows suddenly tightened:
If the young lady from the Hua family really discovered that there was a tunnel hidden in the house and then sent her little sister to the county government office to inquire about the situation first, the risk would probably be considerable.
Looking up at the night sky, he immediately stood up and put away the classics, walked slowly down the teahouse, turned back to the county office, let Ting An pick up the little one, and went straight to the new house rented by the Hua family.
Three figures, two large and one small, stood at the door of the house and looked at each other for a long time, and then they gently knocked on the courtyard door.
