Chapter 12 Don’t be afraid, girl, just ask loudly

"girl?"

She was silent for a long time. Yinbao glanced at her sister and then called her softly.

Shen Qiqi came back to her senses and responded to her with a smile, "Sorry, I was distracted just now. Just take out everything."

The three girls, fifteen or sixteen years old, were in a playful mood. After putting everything on the stove to heat up, they got together and started joking.

There was nothing interesting in the house, so most of the stories were told by the two maids, and Shen Qiqi listened with open ears.

When they talked about the village being slaughtered by bandits, Shen Qiqi silently pushed two chestnut cakes over.

The two maids filled their mouths with it and struggled to eat it before continuing: "Later, the Marquis brought people to suppress the bandits, so that we two sisters avenged the murder of our father and mother."

This was the first time the sisters had committed a murder. They originally thought they would have nightmares afterwards, but they didn't expect that they didn't even have any fear, and they were filled with only joy.

Perhaps it was also because of this that the Marquis took them in when they sought refuge.

After listening quietly, Shen Qiqi took a cup of tea and sipped it carefully. When she raised her head, she saw them staring directly at her.

She silently put down the tea cup and pulled the quilt covering her body up, trying to block their sight.

Compared to the two of them, her life was too dull. The government ignored her, as if she didn't exist.

If it weren't for the old prince's incident, most people in this house might not remember that there was a person like her.

After hearing what the two of them said, she wanted to see the small stream they talked about and step on the round pebbles in the water with her bare feet when no one was around.

I also want to travel through the mountains and forests, pouncing on little rabbits like a hunting dog.

I also want to go flying kites on the green grass with my sisters at the spring equinox.

There are so many things she has never done, but now she can only stay in this small place, looking up and seeing only half an inch of sunlight.

"Jinbao Yinbao, when we return to Jiangzhou, let's go catch rabbits in the mountains together, okay?"

She seemed to be asking, but her voice was too shallow. Except for herself, not even the gold and silver treasures that were very close could hear her.

Fortunately, Shen Qiqi never wanted a response. After asking for a moment, she picked up the unfinished cup of tea.

The three of them had been arguing for a long time and when they were about to collect their things, Granny Lin next door suddenly got up.

Jin Bao and Yin Bao's ears twitched. One of them blew the lamp and the other carried Shen Qiqi back to the bed, then turned around and came back to clean up.

The two moved smoothly and cleaned up after a while. After Jinbao sprinkled a few drops of floral dew into the house to cover the smell, Nanny Lin came in quietly.

Seeing Jin Bao standing still, she asked in a low voice: "Why did you get up? Is the girl in trouble?"

Jinbao shook his head, "No, I just want to relieve myself."

There was a hint of panic in her words. Nanny Lin looked at her carefully and then looked around the room. She really couldn't see anything wrong before she gave up.

"You can go if you want, but you have to speak softly so as not to wake the lady up."

Nanny Lin stepped forward and lifted the curtain again. Seeing Shen Qiqi sleeping soundly, she waited for Jin Bao to relieve herself before leaving.

With her grandma around, Shen Qiqi didn't dare to breathe. She waited until Jinbao came closer before exhaling and asked her where Yinbao had gone.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Bao jumped down from the beam, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's so suspenseful. I was almost discovered by Granny Lin just now."

Fortunately, Nanny Lin didn't light a lamp, otherwise the two palm-sized beams might not be able to cover her.

Shen Qiqi, who was startled by her, patted her chest and didn't blame her for her sudden appearance. She just said that she fell asleep.

Yin Bao bowed and walked out. Shen Qiqi took off her cloak, covered her mouth and yawned, then hid half of her face in the bed and fell asleep.

It was daybreak at night, and before I even got up, I heard two parrots squawking in the yard. The sound was indescribably heartbreaking.

Jin Bao and Yin Bao looked at Hai Dongqing who suddenly appeared in the yard, their temples twitching.

They had seen this baby at Mr. Hou's place. It was so ferocious that even Shiyi was not sure he could beat it. It suddenly appeared here now, and they didn't know what happened.

Afraid that it would suddenly attack, neither of them dared to move. Only the two parrots who sensed the danger kept flapping their wings and screaming.

Shen Qiqi stood up, casually put a gauze dress on her body, then sat on the soft couch and stuck her head out.

The gray and white-topped seaweed stands majestically on the wall, like an invincible general scanning the territory he has just conquered.

Shen Qiqi couldn't see clearly. She squinted her eyes and looked at it for a while, silently marveling.

This thing looks like the eagle on my cousin's cloak.

"Girl, please don't stick your head out. This thing is very dangerous. Be careful of getting hurt by it."

Aunt He came over and closed the window, and then helped her wash her face before bringing her breakfast.

"Mammy, do you know this thing?"

"He was raised by the eldest young master. He usually only stays in Changfeng Pavilion. I don't know why he escaped today." He just ran away, but he happened to end up in the girl's yard.

She had the intention to go to Changfeng Pavilion to ask, but as soon as she got close to the courtyard gate, the sea turtle spread its wings and tried to rush towards her, so she could only retreat.

If breakfast hadn't been delivered earlier today, the girl would probably be hungry by now.

"Let your cousin know and let him take it back."

Aunt He smiled and said, "This thing is guarding the door. I can't get out now. If the young master can't find it later, he will definitely call it back."

In this case, Shen Qiqi stopped talking. She just refused to listen to her grandmother and hid in the house. Instead, she secretly opened a crack in the window.

The parrot that had been hung under the eaves seemed to be tired of screaming. At this time, it lay limply in the cage. Even if it saw Shen Qiqi, it was too lazy to raise its head.

Jinbao and Yinbao stood for a while, knowing that Hai Dongqing had no ill intentions, they retreated to the window and opened half of it.

"Girl, this thing is so powerful. Why don't you ask the young master to give one to you? With this thing, we can walk sideways in Kyoto city from now on."

Shen Qiqi paused for a moment, looked at Haidongqing and then at Jinbao, and asked in a low voice: "Since it is so powerful, it must be very precious. Can my cousin give it to me?"

Jinbao looked inside and saw that Nanny He didn't leave them here, so she quickly took two fruits from the table.

She gave one to Yin Bao and took a big mouthful of the other. "What the girl said, the young master's warehouse is all for the girl to use as she pleases. Do you still care about this sea turtle?"

"Don't be afraid, girl, just ask loudly, the young master has more than a dozen of them."

She spoke so grandly, as if it was her own thing. Shen Qiqi listened silently, but did not respond.

This thing is so vicious, even if her cousin gives it to her generously, she may not be able to tame it.

"Let's talk about this later."

"First climb over the wall from behind and tell your cousin that this thing is here."

Jinbao took a bite of the fruit and shook his head simply, "It can't get out. This thing's eyes are so sharp that even the ants crawling on the ground can't escape its eyes."

"If I really go to climb over the wall, this thing will have already scratched several holes in my head before I even stand on the wall."
