When Mingwei got up the next day, before she reached the lobby, she heard Mrs. Ji yelling: "Ji Xiaowu! What did you do last night?"
Ji Xiaowu felt weak: "I didn't do anything!"
"Why do you have such big dark circles under your eyes? You look like a tuberculosis ghost!"
Mingwei was surprised. It wasn't even Haishi when they came back last night, so it wasn't too late!
When I stepped into the lobby, I saw Ji Xiaowu looking depressed. He said he looked like a tuberculosis man, which was an exaggeration. It was true that he had no energy.
"Aunt, fifth cousin."
Ji Xiaowu rubbed his eyes and gave her a pitiful look: "I couldn't sleep last night..."
"Why can't you fall asleep? Are you up to something else?"
Ji Xiaowu was in a daze: "Because I was so shocked yesterday..."
Mr. Dong came in from outside: "Were you scared by the water monster? I heard that it almost ate people."
Mrs. Ji was awakened and saw a water monster eating people with her own eyes. It was normal for her to be frightened. After all, it was her son, and she felt distressed again: "That's it, let's go make some tea to calm the shock."
Then he thought of Mingwei: "Is Xiaoqi also..." Turning his head, he saw Mingwei sitting there calmly drinking water, radiant and full of energy.
She raised her head and smiled: "When the water monster was eating people, I happened to go outside because of the heat and didn't see it."
Mrs. Ji said happily: "It's a good thing you didn't see it, otherwise what would you do if you got sick from fear?" She shouted, "Mommy, ask Aunt Fan to make a bowl of tea to calm the fright."
Ji Xiaowu twitched the corner of his mouth.
Would she be frightened? If she wasn't afraid that it would be difficult to explain when she came back with wet clothes, she might have gone into the water.
He thought about it all night and still couldn't figure out why his cousin was like this? It's not like he had never seen her when she was a child. She was really stupid and didn't understand anything. Could it be that what Duofu said was true? It was Xuannv
The empress took in her soul, so...
"Oops!" After thinking about it, Ji Xiaowu got a blow on the head, but it was Ji Ling who came over.
"Looking at you like this, people who don't know better think that I have a stupid brother. Aren't you usually very bold? Are you scared to death when something happens? Look, cousin, are you ashamed?"
Little Pearl, who followed her father in, shaved her cheeks and said, "Uncle, I'm so shy."
"Haha!" Ji Xiaowu didn't want to say anything anymore.
Duofu came over holding the box containing the spider: "Miss, come and see if the spider has spun its web."
Little Pearl immediately ran over: "Weave a web, a spider builds a web!"
Mrs. Dong tapped her little nose: "This is my aunt's spider, what are you busy with?"
Little Pearl smiled and said: "Mom, can spiders build many webs?"
Mrs. Dong picked up her daughter and sat on her lap: "Of course I can! My aunt's hands are so..."
Before I could say the last clever word, I got stuck.
Little Pearl blinked: "Mom, where is the spider?"
Ji Xiaowu took a look and picked out a mummy of a spider from the corner of the box: "Wow, cousin, you are so powerful, even a spider will die if you give it a chance."
Mingwei quickly snatched the mummy of the happy spider, threw it into his mouth, lifted his chin and closed it: "It's just enough to calm your shock!"
Ji Xiaowu was caught off guard and didn't react until he swallowed it. His face instantly turned green.
He held his throat with one hand and pointed at Mingwei with the other: "You, you..."
Duofu also added: "Fifth Young Master, the spider is not poisonous, don't worry."
"Wow!" Ji Xiaowu couldn't help it anymore and ran to the tree to vomit. However, he hadn't eaten breakfast yet and didn't vomit anything out.
Pearl held her mother's sleeve with her little hands and asked worriedly: "Mom, can the spiders be eaten?"
"Of course you can't eat it." Mingwei winked at her and put the spider mummy back into the box, "I'm scaring your uncle, don't tell him."
She just flicked her fingers to make Ji Xiaowu think she had swallowed something.
Mrs. Dong was shocked at first, and then couldn't help laughing.
It turns out that my cousin is so intolerant.
The little white snake carefully poked out his sleeves: "Sir..."
Ming slightly glanced at it.
"I, I haven't eaten any living things for a long time. Last night I accidentally..." I sucked the spider into a mummy.
…
After breakfast, those who teach go to teach, and those who go to school go to school.
Mingwei entered the school building and found that the atmosphere was not right.
Seeing her, a female student shouted: "Mingwei!"
Upon noticing her arrival, the female students who had gone to Changle Pool last night gathered around her and all said, "It's great that you're okay."
"Why did he suddenly disappear last night? It was hard for us to find him."
"That's right, even your cousin is missing. We thought you were lost too!"
"Yeah?" Mingwei caught the word.
Several girls fell silent at the same time.
"What happened?" Mingwei asked.
A female student named Fang Jinping said: "Don't you know? A water monster suddenly appeared last night, causing a lot of chaos and losing a few people..."
"Lost..." She glanced over, "Where is Wei Xiaoan?"
Several girls looked like they were about to cry: "It's just that Xiao'an is missing."
Mingwei's heart skipped a beat.
"What do you mean missing? What happened?"
Fang Jinping and Wei Xiaoan were the best, and said at this time: "There was a water monster last night, the Changle Pool was very messy, we were crowded when we went out, and Xiaoan disappeared... The Wei family searched for a long time, but couldn't find it, no
I wonder if I was squeezed into the water."
"Yes, I heard that he drowned and trampled many people to death last night."
"I heard that Wen Ru is also missing, and people from the Wen family are also looking for her. You see, Wen Ying didn't come to school today."
Mingwei frowned: "Have you reported it to the official?"
"I must have reported it." Fang Jinping said, "I heard that the government was searching for floating corpses. I was really afraid of Xiaoan and her..."
Mingwei patted her: "Don't worry, there are so many people looking for it, you will definitely find it."
The class today was a blur.
Mingwei didn't go to the afternoon piano lesson, so she climbed over the wall at her old place and saw Ji Xiaowu sleeping under the tree.
"Wake up!" Ji Xiaowu was pushed awake by her, confused, "Why are you here?"
"There are no classes in the afternoon, let's go."
Ji Xiaowu was confused: "What are you going to do if you don't go to class? My mother will definitely beat me when I get home."
"Looking for someone."
"ah?"
Mingwei briefly explained the matter.
Ji Xiaowu touched his chin: "The possibility of drowning is very small. People who are standing by the water will drown if they are squeezed in. Your friend came out of Zhegui Tower, which is quite a way away from the water!"
"I thought so too, so I decided to look for it."
"How do you find him?" Ji Xiaowu shook his head. "With the chaos last night, he was probably abducted. Such abductors are organized behind the scenes. They are like headless flies. Where can I find them?"
Mingwei said: "I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm asking if you want to follow. Anyway, I'm going to find it. If you don't follow, just keep sleeping."
"..." Ji Xiaowu pouted, "If I don't go back with you, my mother will definitely beat me."
"Then stop talking nonsense and let's go!"
The two of them climbed over the wall and left the academy, asked someone to pass the message in, asked Duofu to come out, and then went to Yongle Pond again.
