Although it was raining and thundering over at Qingsong Academy, it was obvious that the thunderstorms were not as big as those in the back mountain forest.
The students who had already rushed back accepted the arrangement and went back to take a shower and drink ginger soup.
Dr. Tao, Zhu Minmin, and the others were sitting in the pavilion outside the academy's dining hall, looking toward the mountain behind, feeling restless and worried.
This is the highest point in the academy. Sitting here, you can see far away, and it is also relatively close to the gate of the academy. When you turn around, you can just see the gate and a long stretch of road outside the gate.
So they are all waiting here.
They looked toward the back mountain because looking in their direction, they could see unusually thick black clouds accumulating in the sky over the back mountain. It was so dark there that it formed a strong contrast with the sky here.
Even if you look at it from a distance, you can see that there must be a heavy rain in the back mountain at this time.
¡° Moreover, there was a dull sound of thunder in the distant sky.
Thunder can travel so far, and I don¡¯t know how scary it is right there.
"I don't know if Ming Ting and the others have left the forest at this time." Zhu Minmin kept clutching the silk handkerchief in her hand. When she was nervous, she subconsciously bit her lower lip, which was almost broken.
She was so worried that she didn't sleep well all night last night, and now her eyes are all red and bloodshot.
Chen Chufeng has also been by her side.
At this time, when he heard her asking worriedly, he quickly comforted her, "Minmin, don't worry too much. Princess Jin is the smartest woman I have ever seen. She will definitely be able to avoid this thunderstorm."
Zhu Minmin looked at him and became angry for a moment.
If it weren't for Mrs. Chen's harm to her, Ming Ting stood up for her and took her back to Prince Jin's Mansion. He was also afraid that she would be too sad and didn't know how to face her father, so he accompanied her to Qingsong Academy. How could Mingting need to wade through such muddy water at this moment?
Maybe there is just light rain falling in the city. Mingting can now eat cakes and rub his little gold in Prince Jin's Mansion, leisurely watch the wind and rain, and enjoy the coolness of the rain in this summer.
So, in the final analysis, it¡¯s because of their Chen family!
Thinking of this, Zhu Minmin looked at Chen Chufeng with a bad expression.
"Really? You think she is smart too? Why don't you think like your mother that she is cunning, cunning and scheming, and coaxed me to buy a batch of sick horses from your Chen family that are about to die of illness at a low price?"
As soon as he heard Zhu Minmin say such words, Chen Chufeng secretly complained in his heart.
Minmin is definitely venting her anger on him. But he really didn't want to go to the final step with her where they hated each other.
"How could it be? Minmin, I know what kind of person my mother is, so just ignore her for the time being. I will talk to her carefully later -"
"Say? What did you say? How many concubines will I give you, or will one of your cousins ??be welcomed into the house to take my place?" Zhu Minmin said again.
"Heaven and earth can be used as a lesson!" Chen Chufeng quickly raised three fingers, "While the thunder has been thundering now, I, Chen Chufeng, can swear here that I will never have second thoughts about you, and I will never think about taking concubines. If I had Half a lie, just let this thunder strike me down."
Before Zhu Minmin said anything, Doctor Tao already had a dark look on his face.
"Bah, bah, bah, what to strike with? Can't you just let the thunder stay in the sky? Our prince and princess haven't come back yet, what to strike with thunder? You young people must swear that you won't send it out until our prince and princess come back. !¡±
Chen Chufeng was a little embarrassed.
There are still outsiders here.
At this time, Pei Wu and Fang Jiujin hurried over holding umbrellas.
After the two of them came back, they also took a bath, applied medicine, and drank ginger soup. Although they were not caught in the rain, they were already wet from the late battle with a pack of wolves, and were stained with blood and suffered some minor injuries.
After coming back, Dr. Tao was also shocked.
After the two of them had tidied themselves up, they couldn't sit still. They knew Zhu Minmin would be here, so they hurried over.
"Prince Pei, Prince Fang, are you okay?" Doctor Tao waved to them as soon as he saw them, "I'd better come here and check your pulse."
These two princes already have some friendship with Prince Jin's Mansion, so Doctor Tao naturally treats them as his own.
"Doctor Tao, we are fine." Fang Jiujin said quickly.
?Pei Wu looked at Zhu Minmin and said, "Sister Zhu, I just went to see the mountain chief and found this thing under the mountain chief's pillow. Do you know what it is?"
Because Zhu Minmin is the daughter of Chief Zhu Shan, it can be said that she has been taught by Master Zhu personally since she was a child. Therefore, before she came out of the cabinet, most of the students at Qingsong Academy called her Senior Sister Zhu.
"What?" Zhu Minmin was stunned for a moment.
She had been taking care of her father last night, but she didn't find anything under his pillow.
Doctor Tao also looked at Pei Wu with some curiosity. Pei Wu took out a small round ball carved from purple bamboo from his sleeve pocket. It looked like it was carved into a bamboo braid. In fact, it was not braided, but The weaving pattern is carved out.
The ball is not big, even a hand like Zhu Minmin can hold it in his hand.
The bamboo ball is not heavy. It should be about its own weight. You can't see anything in the empty gaps because it is also wrapped with a layer of black cotton and linen. The linen material is not fine and dense, but thick and thick. There are holes, but you still can't see what's inside.
This whole bamboo ball has no opening at all.
Chen Chufeng looked at it twice and thought about it, "By the way, I saw this bamboo ball when I was cleaning it for my father-in-law before. I just thought it belonged to my father-in-law and he put it under the pillow. It must be important. , so I don¡¯t dare to touch it randomly.¡±
Fang Jiujin was not happy when he heard this. Before Pei Wu even spoke, he was already preparing to roll up his sleeves and start a fight with Chen Chufeng.
"Mr. Chen, do you mean that Pei Wu doesn't understand etiquette anymore? Are you blaming him for taking Zhu Shanchang's things without his consent?"
Chen Chufeng was startled for a moment and quickly shook his head, "Prince Fang, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean? Let me tell you, young master, didn't Princess Jin say that Chief Zhu Shan was ill? Chief Shan's illness was strange, and the strange objects that appeared around him were worthy of suspicion and investigation. For a moment? Do you know what this bamboo ball is used for? Do you know what's inside?"
Fang Jiujin stared at him and asked a series of questions.
Chen Chufeng could only shake his head in confusion.
He doesn¡¯t know.
Fang Jiujin snorted, "You're right if you don't know. Since you don't know, then take it out and check what's wrong? Isn't this for the sake of the mountain leader?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
