Chapter 120 prepared meat buns as gifts
It has to be said that the speed of the rescue was quite impressive.
Su Huaiqi followed behind Bai Heming, casually asking about the details of Yu Zechuan and the others' rescue, while listening to Bai Heming's detailed account.
Su Huaiqi clicked his tongue in amazement, "Brother Bai, how do you know so much? It's as if you went with him."
Bai Heming was taken aback by Su Huaiqi's question, and explained with a smile, "Because I've asked Hengzhi the same questions you asked, so I know the answers quite well."
Su Huaiqi: "Ah, Brother Bai, you didn't wait all night for Brother Li to come back, did you?"
"I didn't wait for him on purpose. It's just that I'm a light sleeper, so I woke up when Hengzhi came back."
Listening to Bai Heming's explanation, Su Huaiqi felt increasingly that he might have been sleeping too soundly, how come he knew nothing at all?
After walking a short distance, the two arrived at the front hall. However, the dining hall was unusually empty today, with only Xie Zhi and Chen Kangnian sitting at the large round table.
"Uncle Chen, thank you, Alliance Leader." Su Huaiqi greeted the two of them, then looked around with some confusion.
"Huh? Why are there so few people today? Has everyone already finished breakfast?"
Chen Kangnian put down his bowl and chopsticks and explained with a smile, "When Hengzhi and the others came back last night, everyone was discussing things quite late. Xuanzhang and Aqing probably haven't gotten up yet."
"Huh? Discuss? Uncle Chen, you didn't know when Ayu and the others came back, did you?" Su Huaiqi asked incredulously.
Am I the only one who only found out this morning?
Seeing Su Huaiqi's deeply shocked expression, Chen Kangnian and Bai Heming exchanged a somewhat amused glance. "Sooner or later, Miss Su will definitely find out."
"Yes, and I was the last to know." Su Huaiqi held the porridge bowl, drinking the plain porridge with a somewhat heartbroken expression, silently muttering to himself as he ate.
Once Yu Zechuan wakes up, she must have a serious talk with him. How could he not call her for something so important!
Throughout the morning, the only one in the Wutong Courtyard who was full of energy was Su Huaiqi, after all, she was the only one who had slept well last night.
She wandered around the small courtyard of the sycamore tree by herself, until finally she had nothing left to do.
Suddenly, she remembered the little black snake she had encountered by chance before.
So she quickly ran to the kitchen, wrapped two leftover meat buns from breakfast in oil paper, and then hurried towards the small courtyard she had visited before.
Throughout the journey, Su Huaiqi maintained high concentration, carefully observing his surroundings for any signs of a "black ribbon".
After walking to roughly the same spot as last time, I discovered that "Black Belt" was still sunbathing in the same old place.
Just as Su Huaiqi was struggling with how to greet the little black snake without being mistaken for an enemy, the little black snake seemed to have noticed Su Huaiqi's presence. It immediately stood up from the branch, its small, dark eyes looking at Su Huaiqi again.
"Hi." Su Huaiqi greeted him somewhat stiffly. Then he waved the meat bun he was holding, put it on the ground, and took a few steps back.
"Um, I accidentally disturbed your rest last time, so I'm here to apologize."
Seeing that the little black snake was still standing upright, Su Huaiqi couldn't help but swallow and continued, "Then you can eat slowly, I won't bother you."
Then, under the unwavering gaze of the little black snake, it slowly retreated step by step. After retreating about four or five steps, the little black snake suddenly stirred and quickly scrambled down the branch.
Startled by the little black snake's unusual movements, Su Huaiqi stopped retreating. Her eyes were also fixed on the little black snake's every move, and her right hand reached for her waist, where the short knife Yu Zechuan had given her was hidden.
Unexpectedly, after the little black snake crawled to the ground, it went straight for the two meat buns placed on the ground. After quickly eating one of them, it rolled up the other and crawled back up the tree trunk to the spot where it had been sunbathing, turning into a "black ribbon".
Su Huaiqi finally felt relieved, let out a long sigh, and continued to retreat quickly, leaving the courtyard.
I never expected the little black snake could eat steamed buns. I'll see what meat and vegetables are left after lunch and give them all to the little black snake.
"Miss Su?"
Lost in thought, Su Huaiqi seemed to hear someone calling her. She looked up and saw three people sitting in the pavilion in front of her.
Two of them were familiar faces, Senior Xi and Yun Zhiye, and there was also a girl whose identity I had already guessed but who looked unfamiliar.
Su Huaiqi was surprised to see Xi Zhenzhen, who had been rescued last night, so soon. He quickly walked a few steps into the pavilion and waved to her.
"Senior Xi, what are you doing here?"
Xi Ming was overjoyed after his daughter was rescued, his face beaming with smiles.
“Zhenzhen has been locked in the dungeon since she was arrested. I’m worried that she won’t be able to adapt to staying in the house for too long.”
Su Huaiqi nodded knowingly, gave Xi Zhenzhen a polite smile, and subtly observed her.
I didn't expect that Senior Xi's daughter would be so pretty; she must look like her mother.
"It's a joyous occasion that Miss Zhenzhen has been rescued. I wonder what Senior Xi's plans are going to be?"
Xi Ming sighed, "Alas, Zhenzhen was able to be rescued thanks to everyone's help. I think Yun Hailong will be furious when he finds out that Zhenzhen is missing, so in order to avoid causing trouble for Brother Chen and Alliance Leader Xie, I want to take Zhenzhen and Zhiye away alone."
Su Huaiqi asked with some concern, "But there are only three of you. How can you deal with the entire Weiyu Tower? What's more, Weiyu Tower has a mysterious person helping it."
"I know everything you're saying." Xi Ming gave a wry smile. "But how could I possibly trouble Alliance Leader Xie and the others any further?"
"If we don't trouble Lao Xie, who else should we trouble? After all, he's Alliance Leader Xie." Mu Qing said as he walked out of the corridor, toying with the withered branch in his hand.
Xuan Zhang, standing beside him, nodded in agreement and added, "Yun Hailong couldn't have lost the person himself, so why should he blame it on someone else?"
"Senior Mu, Senior Xuan." Su Huaiqi, Yun Zhiye, and Xi Zhenzhen, the three juniors, immediately stood up from their chairs and called out to the two.
Mu Qing glanced at Yun Zhiye, then unceremoniously sat down in the seat he had just been in. "Hmm, my wife is back. She's much more composed than before."
After listening to the two men's conversation, Xi Ming began to make some plans.
"Brother Xuan, do you mean to pretend nothing happened?"
Xuan Zhang revealed a profound smile, raised an eyebrow at Xi Ming, and said, "Not only do you have to pretend that nothing happened, but you also have to act panicked when you discover that your daughter may have fallen into enemy hands. Moreover, you'd better tell Yun Hailong about this and ask him to help you find Xi Zhenzhen."
"Great idea!" Su Huaiqi, standing to the side, couldn't help but applaud Xuanzhang's idea.
"Even if this doesn't fool Yun Hailong, it will confuse him and prevent him from making a clear judgment. They say the most dangerous place is the safest place, and I think the safest place right now is this Wutong Courtyard."
Xi Ming seemed to be persuaded, and somewhat excitedly cupped his hands to Xuan Zhang and Mu Qing, saying, "Thank you both for reminding me, I understand now."
A short while later, Lin Feiran and Chen Kangnian walked over together from not far away, followed by Xie Zhi and Gongsun Rang, one after the other. It seemed that there was almost no place to stand in the small pavilion.
As more and more people gathered, Su Huaiqi whispered to Xi Zhenzhen, "Miss Zhenzhen, why don't we go over there first?"
Xi Zhenzhen nodded, pulled Yun Zhiye along, and followed Su Huaiqi to another level of the corridor.
After walking a short distance, Su Huaiqi finally found a place to sit down and rest.
Without any hesitation, she plopped down on the chair and then warmly invited the other two, "Don't stand, sit down and rest."
After the two of them sat down, Su Huaiqi switched into gossip mode, looking at Xi Zhenzhen with curiosity, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Zhenzhen, do you know why you were arrested?"
Xi Zhenzhen nodded and gestured the number seven with her hand.
Su Huaiqi gave a knowing "oh" and lowered his voice to continue asking, "Then do you know the specific reason?"
Xi Zhenzhen nodded again, glanced at Yun Zhiye's somewhat nervous expression, and said, "Because I have the screen painting that my father gave me."
Upon hearing the words "screen painting," Su Huaiqi's eyes lit up instantly. He rubbed his hands together somewhat awkwardly and asked, "I wonder if you have the chance to see the screen painting now?
Xi Zhenzhen was almost amused by Su Huaiqi's appearance, but since the screen painting wasn't on her, she could only say apologetically, "I'm sorry, the painting isn't on me right now, so I can't show it to you."
"It's nothing, it's nothing, I was just asking casually," Su Huaiqi quickly waved his hand. "Such a precious thing must be kept safe."
To avoid an awkward situation, Su Huaiqi decided to quickly change the subject. She looked up at the position of the sun and said, "It's noon. Let's go have lunch."
People need food to survive, and I was quite hungry when it was mealtime.
