Chapter 34 The Old Dream (1)
Huaiying went to bed before midnight, who knew she would start dreaming as soon as she closed her eyes, in the dream she became a doormat, no one liked her, anyone could bully her, obviously she was quite capable , but did not resist.Later, even Long Xining jumped out and stepped on her, bullying her so loudly that Huaiying nearly vomited to death, and when she got angry, she woke up.

It was still dark, and it was pitch black outside, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.

It was obviously just a dream, but Huaiying felt unhappy in her heart, as if she was really bullied.Of course, Huaiying also knew that this was just a dream, and there was no logic at all when people dreamed of it. Last time, she dreamed that she had given birth to several children.

Huaiying didn't take this strange dream to heart, rolled a few times on the bed, and fell asleep again.

On the first day of the new year, the custom in the capital is not to go out, but to stay at home.Father Xiao and Xiao Zidan's hand injuries improved a bit, but Huaiying was still worried, and told them to go to the doctor for a closer look.Father Xiao was a little lazy and unwilling to move, he shook his head and said: "Isn't this very good, the medicine you bought yesterday works well, you don't need to go out, it's so cold outside." He tightened his jacket tightly, Leaning on the chair and refusing to move.

Huaiying really had nothing to do with his father, so he looked at Xiao Zidan for help.Xiao Zidan got up immediately and said: "Since Dad doesn't want to go out, Huaiying and I will go. I will see the doctor in a while, and I will take some more medicine." After finishing speaking, he gave Huaiying a wink helplessly, and the two of them Then I changed my clothes and went out.

The street was much more lively than yesterday, from time to time, people in twos and threes could be seen passing by on the street, many shops on both sides of the road were opened, and the nearby medical center was also open, the doctor was also there, and he had seen Xiao Zidan The burn on the hand is not a big problem, two prescriptions are prescribed, one is boiled medicinal juice for external application, and the other is taken internally.

The clerk of the medical center immediately took the prescription and went to grab the medicine, Huaiying added: "Take another one."

The guy smiled and said, "Don't catch me too much. Our Doctor Zhang specializes in treating bruises and burns. He said that if he takes a few doses of medicine, he will definitely be cured. Girl, if you buy too much, it will be a waste to go back."

Huaiying whispered with some embarrassment: "There is still an injury at home, and it was burned together yesterday. It was cold, and he didn't want to go out, so he didn't come."

So, in the end, he grabbed six doses and packed twelve oil-paper bags, and Xiao Zidan carried them home.When he came back, there were more people on the street, and there were many officials among them. Huaiying looked at them quietly and recognized them as the policemen of Jingzhaoyin Yamen.She immediately talked to Xiao Zidan again, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that the policemen of Jingzhaoyin Yamen are quite responsible, and they came out to patrol on the first day of the new year."

Xiao Zidan frowned, shook his head and said, "It must be that something happened earlier."

Huaiying suddenly felt a little flustered in her heart, and she was beating so hard that she couldn't explain why.

When passing through the alley, a policeman came out. When he saw the brothers and sisters, he stopped them and asked calmly, "What are you doing? Where do you live? Did you hear anything last night?"

Xiao Zidan replied with a normal expression: "We live in Loofah Alley, we are at home at night, where can we hear the sound here."

The two brothers and sisters were both good-looking, and Xiao Zidan was dressed as a scholar. Naturally, the policeman would not doubt them, and after asking a few casual questions, he waved them away.Xiao Zidan couldn't help asking curiously: "What's wrong in the alley ahead? Is anyone dead?" Since so many officials came to this alley on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are probably dead people in all likelihood.

Huaiying thought of the drunk man last night for no reason, and her heart suddenly jumped.

"That's not true." The policeman replied with some helplessness, "People who celebrate the New Year are not allowed to live in peace. If you die, you will die on the road. Many people saw it and ran to the yamen early in the morning to report the crime. We couldn't sleep well on the first day of the new year. We have been tossing around here all morning, and there is no clue at all, and we haven't even figured out the identity of the dead."

Xiao Zidan nodded in understanding, and said: "You officials have worked hard." After finishing speaking, he and Huaiying continued to walk home.

Huaiying had something hidden in her heart, she had been struggling in front of the two police officers before, but as soon as she got home, she started to wander off.Just as he was thinking wildly, someone patted his shoulder suddenly. Huaiying screamed in fright and jumped up from his seat. After seeing that the person in front of him was Xiao Zidan, his panic expression gradually receded, but his expression was still a little dizzy. White.

"Tell me, what happened?" Xiao Zidan sat down in front of Huaiying, with a concerned expression on his face, "I'm your brother, what can't you tell me? Even if it's a big deal, there is elder brother who will take care of you hold on."

Huaiying's eyes were a little sore, she knew her character, no matter how she tried to hide it, she would not be able to hide it from Xiao Zidan's careful brother, anyway, sooner or later she would have to confess, it would be better to say it sooner.So, after thinking for a while, she still told Xiao Zidan everything that happened in the alley last night, and said nervously: "When I left, I saw that man lying on the ground motionless, and he didn't move. Seriously, I didn't expect him to die."

As soon as she said this, she was nervous and sad. The nervousness was because she was afraid of the incident, and the sadness was because of the death of that hooligan. Although that man was very hateful, he was not guilty of death. How to feel at ease.

In fact, Xiao Zidan had vaguely guessed what had happened when he was talking to the police before, so it was not surprising to hear Huaiying talk about it now, but he just shook his head and said in comfort: "Everything has already happened. You don't have to take it too seriously. The NPC hid in the alley at night to frighten people and tried to use violence. He was not a good person at all, and he didn't know how many evils he did in private, but you didn't kick him and said Maybe he also froze to death outside. This is the end of the matter. Just remember, you bought the medicine last night and returned home the same way. Nothing happened. The police from the Yamen checked for two days , if there is no clue, let it go naturally, and it will not implicate you."

His expression was really calm, and Huaiying was also infected by him, and his heart seemed to relax a lot, but he was still a little uneasy.Xiao Zidan also knew that this kind of thing cannot be thought of in a short while, so he patted Huaiying on the shoulder and said: "Take a good rest, don't think about it, and don't show any clues in front of Dad."

If Father Xiao knew, it would be not so good.Although Father Xiao also felt sorry for his daughter and would never send Huaiying to the Yamen in a righteous way, but his temperament, how could he hide a secret, when the police came to ask him, he would have to reveal his secrets.

In the afternoon, Long Xining finally came, and when he entered the courtyard, he yelled Huaiying's name.Xiao Zidan immediately frowned, opened the door displeasedly and shouted: "Who are you calling the soul? Huaiying is sleeping in the room, you have to wake her up when you come back."

Long Xining hurriedly covered his mouth, rolled his black eyes around, and trotted to Xiao Zidan, lowered his voice and asked, "Huaiying fell asleep? Why is she sleeping at this hour, she doesn't usually do this."

"Tired." Xiao Zidan said, "Isn't it the Chinese New Year? There are many things at home, and she is exhausted."

Long Xicui was a little angry when he heard the words: "How could you do this? She just watched Huaiying get tired and didn't help. She is a girl, and girls need to be hurt. She cooks, does laundry, and does housework for you all day long. She's not your rough envoy girl. Tomorrow I'll go to my third brother and borrow a few smart girls from him, so Huaiying won't have to worry so much."

It was rare for Xiao Zidan not to be angry after being reprimanded by him like this. After all, Long Xining was also speaking for Huaiying, but they couldn't afford the maids of the National Teacher's Mansion. It is normal for people to come back.

"I have something to discuss with you." Xiao Zidan invited Long Xining into the room with some embarrassment, not knowing what to say.After all, he and Long Xining have always been at odds, and they always quarrel when they meet. You hate me, and I don't like you. They know each other well.

Seeing Xiao Zidan's attitude, Long Xizhe felt a little thumping in his heart. He didn't understand why he was so polite to him suddenly. After thinking about it, he simply said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't be so hesitant, look It makes me panic, always thinking that you are going to make some bad idea again."

Xiao Zidan was immediately annoyed, and shouted: "When have I ever done you any harm?"

"Don't deny it." Long Xining snorted, "Anyway, you speak ill of me in front of Huaiying, thinking I don't know."

"What I said are all facts, and I didn't make up anything. If you behave yourself, you are afraid of others saying..."

Sure enough, the two of them pinched each other as soon as they met, Xiao Zidan forgot the purpose just now, until the two of them quarreled so loudly that Huaiying in the next room was awakened, and he came over to see what happened in person. The quarrel finally came to an end.

Huaiying supported his forehead and looked at Xiao Zidan, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Brother, why are you still arguing with Wulang?" The quarrel was so loud, this kind of childish behavior really didn't look like him.

Xiao Zidan was also a little embarrassed, he didn't want to quarrel with Long Xining at first, but God knows why they quarreled again.

Long Xining didn't want to stay with Xiao Zidan, so he couldn't help but drag Huaiying to her room, and just as he was leaving, he happened to meet Father Xiao coming out of the room.Seeing Long Xining, Father Xiao was stunned for a moment: "Si Lang came back so early? Your third brother didn't talk about you?"

"He's busy." Long Xining grinned and showed his white teeth, "Walking around the capital, he couldn't take care of me, so I came back."

Hearing that Long Xiyan had entered the palace, Du Heng immediately rushed to the Tai Chi Hall. When he entered the room and saw Long Xiyan's bitter face, he immediately guessed the result, and couldn't help showing a disappointed expression on his face: "Didn't find it?"

Du Heng can't remember how many times this is the first time. Over the years, he has come here time and time again, but in the end he still returns lonely.

However, he was not discouraged because of this. Anyway, this time there were some clues, which could at least prove that the third princess was in the capital. As long as he searched slowly, he would always be able to find it.This is much better than running around like headless flies before.

"I ran across the entire capital, but now there is no trace at all. I don't know how she did it, but she was able to restrain half of her spiritual energy without leaking." Long Xiyan rubbed the center of his brows, and said in a puzzled way, " Is she out of town again?"

"No, she is here." Du Heng said with a serious face, "I can feel that she is in the capital."

Long Xiyan glared at him angrily: "Then you should give me some pointers, so that I won't run around the city like a headless fly. Do you think I don't need to work hard?" After he finished speaking, he paused again. , looked at Du Heng hesitantly, as if deliberating whether to speak or not.

Du Heng frowned: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't be so hesitant."

Long Xiyan stopped hiding, and asked directly: "You...are you sure that it was the third princess's spiritual power fluctuation last night? The third princess's immortal root has been abolished for more than a thousand years, and now I am afraid that she has nothing to do with ordinary people." How could there be such a strong spiritual power?" Although the fluctuation of spiritual power last night was fleeting, the intensity of the spiritual power was extremely rare, and even he might not be as strong.It would be no problem if it was the third princess in the past, but how could it be possible for her to have such a pure aura now?

"It's her." Du Heng insisted without reason, "That's my biological sister, I will never make a mistake." Of course he also knew that Long Xiyan was right, but that kind of intimacy of blood But it is more powerful than any reason.Du Heng glanced at Long Xiyan, with a half-smile on his face, "Ah Yan, don't forget, when the third girl was removed from the fairy roots, it was my father who did it himself."

Long Xiyan raised his head abruptly, stared at him for a while, finally understood what he meant, and said tremblingly: "You...you mean, the Emperor of Heaven..." Not to mention Long Xiyan, probably not a few gods in the entire heaven would be able to guess this kind of mind.Anyway, Long Xiyan would never have believed this matter if it hadn't come from Du Heng's mouth.

Du Heng nodded slightly: "If it wasn't for that, she might not even be able to escape the catastrophe in Taoxichuan. It's because we were too careless. We thought she would be safe after leaving the heaven, but I didn't expect her to be like that, and there are still people wanting her." Can't get along with her."

Long Xiyan was so dumbfounded, he was stunned for a while, and then he jumped up angrily and pointed at Du Heng and cursed: "Are you still a brother or not, why did you hide such a big matter from me? Tell me about this? Is it interesting to play around like I am a fool..."

Long Xiyan was so angry that he cursed, was agitated, and his voice was so high that even the guards outside the Tai Chi Hall could hear him. He was so frightened that he thought something happened in the hall, and he was about to rush into the hall with a knife in his hand, but was caught by the door. The eunuch stopped him: "I don't want to kill you, Master Guoshi is talking to His Majesty."

The young guard said anxiously: "Everyone... they're all arguing!"

The old eunuch had a disgusted expression of "you have never seen the world" on his face, and said displeasedly: "How can there be a quarrel? The National Teacher is discussing state affairs with His Majesty, and it is inevitable that your voice will be louder when you talk about it. You Hurry up and stand far away, is that what you can hear?"

The guards looked at me and I looked at you. After hesitating for a while, they were finally scolded back by the old eunuch, but they did not dare to relax. If something is wrong, we must rush in to rescue him.

However, their wishes apparently came to nothing.Long Xiyan scolded Du Heng angrily, but Du Heng was not angry, and patiently smiled at the side, and finally coaxed Long Xiyan back. When he returned to normal, he told him again: "It's not very convenient for me now. I have to rely on your help to find Ah Wu. By the way, what about your Goro? If he is idle, call him here too. It's better than you running around alone."

As soon as Long Xiyan mentioned Long Xining, he shook his head and said, "Come on, that kid is really coming, he must be helping more and more, and maybe he leaked the news. I can't trust him. Open your mouth wide, if you really want to tell him, he will be able to show off these things in front of that little girl from the Xiao family by turning around."

Du Heng laughed loudly, shook his head and said, "I think your Goro is serious this time."

Long Xiyan panicked when he thought of this, and said: "I can't control him, he will know how powerful he is when the time comes. This kid has never suffered or suffered setbacks since he was a child, so he should go through some Only by doing things can we grow up. Otherwise, in 2000 years, we will still be this stupid person who doesn’t understand anything.”

Du Heng twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling a little helpless.

On Huaiying's side, she suffered from insomnia for two consecutive days, and she ate little food, and her whole body became emaciated.Not to mention Xiao Zidan, even Xiao's father, who had always been careless, noticed something was wrong, and asked her if something was wrong with concern, and even insisted on calling a doctor for her.

Huaiying had a terrible headache, how could she dare to tell Father Xiao the truth of the matter, she just shook her head and said: "It's just that I have some insomnia, I didn't sleep well at night, and naturally I don't have energy during the day. It's not a serious problem, it's not worth mobilizing people to invite doctors. If you really invite me, the doctor may not be able to cure it. When you are tired and tired, you will naturally fall asleep."

Father Xiao was still a little worried: "Okay, why can't you sleep? This is really strange." He has always been open-minded, and he only feels that he doesn't have enough time to sleep every day. He has never suffered from insomnia, and he really can't understand why. There will be people who can't sleep, "I heard that lotus seeds can calm the nerves, and Dad will make you some lotus seed soup later." After Xiao Dad finished speaking, he really went to the kitchen to make lotus seed soup.

Huaiying was afraid that he would ask her again, so she didn't stop him.
