Chapter Forty-Two: Meeting a Little Girl in the Pavilion
The little girl opened the storybook and after taking a look at it, she seemed to be fascinated by it and refused to move away.
Just as she was watching with gusto, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
"Is the script good-looking?"
"nice."
The little girl answered and suddenly reacted.
When she turned around and saw the person standing behind her, she was so frightened that she wanted to shout.
"Well……"
Chen Changsheng covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming, and then pretended to look at the old eunuch lying on the table in the library.
Under the illumination of the oil lamp, the little girl could clearly see the face of the person in front of her.
Chen Changsheng said: "Don't shout, if you wake him up, we will all be arrested."
The little girl nodded in agreement.
Chen Changsheng let go of his hand and squatted down.
The little girl took a breath and asked softly: "Are you here to steal books too?"
Chen Changsheng smiled, nodded and said, "Yes."
The little girl rolled her eyes and continued to ask: "Why have I seen you in the palace before?"
"I ran in from outside the palace." Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
The little girl was still young and didn't know how to be afraid at all, so she didn't show any timidity when facing Chen Changsheng. Anyway, she was very happy to talk to Chen Changsheng.
Probably because she felt that the two people had the same purpose.
The little girl's eyes lit up and she said, "You are so awesome!"
"Why do you say I'm awesome?"
"Because no one can sneak in here."
Chen Changsheng looked at her and asked, "What about you? Are you from the palace? Why are you here stealing books at night?"
The little girl said: "They wouldn't let me read these storybooks, so I had to steal them."
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
"No, I know the way very well."
"It turns out he is a habitual offender." Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
The little girl glanced at him and said, "I'm very powerful, okay?"
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "It's really impressive to be able to sneak here from the harem without being discovered by the guards."
"right."
The little girl raised her head proudly and grinned, revealing her missing tooth.
Chen Changsheng first thought that since the child lived in the palace, he must have a high status, maybe a princess who had not yet left the palace, and he was really brave enough to break into the library at night. If he was not careful, the child might be killed.
Beat him to death as a thief.
The little girl lowered her guard, lowered her head and continued reading the storybook.
Chen Changsheng stepped forward to take a look and saw that the storybook was telling a story about folk ghosts.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Do you like to see these strange ghosts?"
The little girl stared at the book intently and said, "It's beautiful."
Chen Changsheng glanced at the contents of the storybook. It told a story about a fish demon that turned into a spirit and was eaten by people.
The little girl seemed to have thought of something and asked: "You are from outside, so you must be very knowledgeable?"
"How can you be considered knowledgeable?" Chen Changsheng asked.
The little girl thought for a moment and said, "Have you been to many places?"
"Then I must be a little short-sighted," Chen Changsheng said.
The little girl waved her hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I just want to ask if these stories are true? Are there really monsters outside? Why have I never seen them in the palace?"
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and replied: "Yes, there are some big man-eating monsters out there, and they can swallow you in one bite."
After hearing this, the little girl was not only not afraid, but also said with surprise: "It really does happen!"
Chen Changsheng found it interesting and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "The book says that monsters like to eat beautiful women. I'm still young and not big enough to fill the gap between my teeth."
"Which book did you read it in?" Chen Changsheng asked.
The little girl pointed to the pile of storybooks in front of her.
Chen Changsheng was amused by her innocence and said: "What is written in these books may not be true. As far as I know, monsters like to eat boys and girls the most. The breath on children is clean and soft when chewed.
Especially a sweet and delicious little girl like you."
After hearing this, the little girl's face suddenly changed and she became a little scared.
"Really, really?"
"real."
Chen Changsheng continued: "So, don't go looking for any monsters, otherwise you will be sent to your door to be eaten by monsters."
The little girl shook her head repeatedly and said, "I don't dare to go."
Chen Changsheng nodded, touched her head and said, "This is so good."
"Don't touch my head."
The little girl said angrily: "Big brother said that if your head is touched, you won't grow taller."
"Your elder brother lied to you."
Chen Changsheng touched her head again, not to mention that it felt really good.
"If you touch me again, I'll get angry!"
The little girl muttered, looking angry.
Upon seeing this, Chen Changsheng put down his hand and stopped touching her head.
The little girl hummed softly, turned around, picked up the storybook and continued reading.
"I'm reading a story, don't disturb me!"
She didn't feel tired at all. She sat on the ground and read non-stop. She read for nearly half an hour before finishing the book in her hand.
Chen Changsheng did not disturb the little girl's reading anymore, and went to the other side to look up the history books of Da Jing.
Understand and understand this world.
The little girl finished reading the storybook, put it back on the bookshelf exactly as it was, and picked up another one.
As a result, her expression changed when she turned the first page.
I’ve already read this one.
After reading it again, she found it boring.
Scroll down and take it again, and you’ve seen it again...
I actually read them all one by one.
The little girl muttered, feeling a little unhappy. It was more uncomfortable to read the story than to kill her.
She thought for a moment, then got up and looked for the figure of the person in the library.
Chen Changsheng, who was checking historical facts, suddenly felt his robe being pulled.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a little carrot head looking at him eagerly.
"What's wrong?" Chen Changsheng asked.
The little girl blinked and said, "Have you read many stories?"
Chen Changsheng put down the book, squatted down and said, "I have read a lot, what's wrong?"
"Can you tell me?"
The little girl said: "I have finished reading the storybook, there is no need to read anymore."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng paused and asked, "Are there dozens of books on the bookshelf? Have you read them all?"
"Um."
The little girl nodded and said, "I've seen it all."
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but said: "If you are addicted to the storybook, you will be slapped in the palm."
"I'm not afraid."
The little girl said: "If you don't tell me, no one will know that I saw it. You will keep it a secret, right?"
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Of course."
The little girl said: "How about you tell me a story and I will touch my head for you?"
She feels that touching her head is also something that can attract others.
Chen Changsheng smiled, then put his hand on her head.
