Chapter 58 Deja Vu
The whole night, Xiaoruo stayed by Xiaoxun's bed.

Although shopkeeper Ding said that Xiaoxun was fine, his frowning, painful expression, and cold sweat in his sleep made it impossible for Xiaoruo to leave him alone.

The rooster crowed three times before Xiaoruo opened her eyes in a daze. She fell asleep at some point last night.

Just waking up, her mind was still in chaos, and she couldn't help but bury her head deep in the pillow, whimpering, the winter quilt was so comfortable, she didn't want to move at all.

In the bed, the chrysalis comes and goes like a silkworm wrapped in a silk cocoon, Xiaoruo squints her eyes and sighs comfortably, staying in bed is really the happiest thing in winter.

"Pfft~" There was a slight laugh next to him.

Xiaoruo was startled suddenly, as if the pause button had been pressed, she stopped wriggling, and her mind began to regain clarity.

Wasn't she in bed last night?Are you taking care of the sick?Why are you lying in bed now?

Peeking out from under the quilt, this window lattice, this roof, this shabby room!
Then isn't she lying on Xiaoxun's bed?Was she rolling around like a silly bug in Xiaoxun's bed just now?
Xiao Ruo froze as if struck by lightning, ten thousand muddy horses galloped past her heart, and she could hear her sister's aura shattering to the ground...

"Are you awake? Do you want to sleep a little longer?" Xiaoxun's voice came from beside the bed. "I made shredded chicken porridge and warmed it on the stove. If you want to sleep and eat it, it won't be cold."

Sitting up from the bed sadly, Xiaoruo really can't sleep back to sleep under Xiaoxun's eyes.

The clothes she had rolled under the quilt were crumpled and piled up on her body, and her bun was loose, with a dull hair sticking out from the top of her head.

"When did you get up?" She asked pretending not to care.

"Yinshi woke up around three o'clock, I see you fell asleep lying on the bedside." Xiaoxun stared at the dull hair, his hands felt itchy. "It's cold outside. I'm afraid that sending you back to your room will freeze you, so I let you sleep here."

There is a difference between men and women. If you are not married, you cannot sleep in the same bed.

"I couldn't sleep anyway, so I got up and made some breakfast for everyone." Xiaoxun added and explained.

He couldn't hold it back, and stretched out his hand to press the stupid hair.The stubborn hair was crushed for a moment, and then immediately bounced back to its original shape.

Xiaoruo pushed away the disturbing hands on top of her head, scratched her head, got up and got out of bed.

"Where's Niaoyiao? Did you see the little girl's condition this morning?" She was busy taking care of Xiaoxun after she came back last night, so she could only hand Xiaoxun over to two old people to appease her, and she didn't know what was going on now.

Xiaoxun frowned slightly when she saw that she was staying on the bed with only her foot clothes on, stepped forward and lifted Xiaoruo from her armpit, and took a few quick steps to put her on the stool for her to sit down.

He is now much taller than Xiaoruo, and holding her is as easy as lifting a cat.

"I've seen you before I went to the stove house. She slept with Zhaozhao last night, and the two dolls hugged each other. Zhaozhao is sensible and will comfort you. Don't worry."

He took Xiaoruo's shoes, held her slender ankle with one hand, and helped her put them on.

Xiaoruo was a little embarrassed. The last time someone helped her put on her shoes was when she was three or four years old.

She couldn't help but kicked lightly and said, "Puppy, let go, I will wear it myself."

"Don't move, it will be fine soon." Xiaoxun quickly helped her put on both shoes, and looked around to make sure they wouldn't fall off.

As soon as Xiaoxun's hands left her ankles, Xiaoruo immediately stood up and stamped her feet, her eyes wandering and she said, "Let's go, let's eat, I'm starving to death."

After all, without waiting for Xiaoxun's reaction, she trotted out of Xiaoxun's room like a gust of wind, and did not dare to look back when the voice of Xiaoxun holding back her laughter came from behind her head.

Xiaoruo slowed down after running to the courtyard and exposed to the cool and refreshing air in the early morning. She stretched out her hands that were warmed under the quilt and patted her cheeks, and the heat on her face was even higher than that of her hands.

"Damn it, why are you blushing, Xiaoruo!" She couldn't help but secretly spurn herself in her heart. "Axun is still a child!"

After taking a few deep breaths to calm her beating heart, she calmed down and knocked on the door one by one, calling everyone in the family to have breakfast.

Xiaoyou was sitting at the table with a small rice bowl in her hand, her usually bright and big eyes were drooping, staring at her own meal and eating silently, she hadn't recovered yet.

She was afraid to sleep with her eldest sister last night, but she had to take care of the unconscious brother Axun, so she could only sleep with Xiao Zhao.Fortunately, her younger brother kept patting her on the back, making her feel as if her parents were by her side. Later, she fell asleep unconsciously when she was tired from crying.

Xiaoruo looked at the wilting little Douding worriedly, and said, "You are terrified, old man, you can make her some calming soup later, and then go to sleep after drinking it, so she won't have to go to the Yamen later."

"Huh? Are you still going to the Yamen?" Old Cen said distressedly.

The three of them came back in embarrassment with the yamen servants last night, but he was worried to death. The youngest was crying so hard, the eldest was unconscious, and only Xiaoruo was completely bearded and shadowed. What a crime.

"It's fine for me and Axun to go. I have to explain the situation to the officials. What's more, the thief who robbed people is still in prison. I have to go and get him convicted, so that he won't come out and cause trouble again." Doll." Xiaoruo explained.

Old man Cen nodded. He really wanted to let those people get the justice they deserved. If the abduction failed last time, they would rob them this time. If he were to be released, it is unknown how many dolls would be abducted.

After finishing the meal, Xiaoruo and Xiaoxun set off for the Qinzhou Yamen after they cleaned up the dishes together.

Before leaving the house, Xiao Ruo specifically told Xiao Zhao not to go to school today, she would ask for leave from the Master, and today Xiao Zhao would stay at home and accompany Xiao Niao well, seeing Xiao Zhao nodding her head and agreeing, the two went out at ease.

When the two reached the government office, they saw Jin Hui waiting for them at the door.

"Young lady is here. Our lord started interrogating that man's teeth at the time of his death. It is estimated that the questioning is almost done now. Just go in and talk about what happened last night." Jin Hui said.

Xiao Ruo Xiao Xun bowed to Jin Hui to express his understanding, and followed him into the mansion.

Kidnapping and robbing children is already a serious crime, so Zeng Yongbo, governor of Qinzhou, is the criminal who will be tried directly in prison.

The door of the cell is very narrow, and the windows can only reach the waist of a normal height, which looks very oppressive. Various instruments of torture hung on the wall, flashing cold light to intimidate the prisoners.

After Jin Hui led the two of them into the cell, he bowed and cupped his hands to the person sitting tall in the center, and said, "My lord, bring me here."

"The sufferer comes forward." Zeng Yongbo said.

The two approached according to their words, and saluted the governor: "Little man Xiao Ruo/Xiao Xun, I have met your lord."

After paying the salutes and reporting the names, but it was a long time since the adults called for excuses, Xiao Ruo couldn't help stealing a look at the governor of Qinzhou.

Zeng Yongbo, the governor of Qinzhou, was about 40 years old, with Danfeng eyes, crouching silkworm eyebrows, and a dignified appearance. He was a decent person at first glance.On weekdays, he governed strictly and strictly, and he rarely made friends with wealthy gentry and wealthy households. He was a good official highly praised by the people.

At this time, the face of this calm and prestige adult was stunned, and he stared at them in a daze.

"My lord?" Jin Hui also sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and tentatively reminded his lord.

This reminder seemed to call back Zeng Yongbo's soul. After a sudden shock, he coughed a few times and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure. This little brother's face is familiar, and it reminds me of it. Bewitched."
