Chapter 100
Chapter 100
I looked at Ruan Qi, and Ruan Qi looked at me, both of them had the same astonishment in their eyes.
"Little Third Master, why are you here?" Ruan Qi looked me up and down.
I know I'm in a mess now, my clothes are soaked, and I'm miserable, but I can't control that much now.
I don't know Ruan Qi very well, but now I can only turn to him for help.
"Help," I said. "Cover me."
Ruan Qi was stunned for a moment, then blinked cutely.
"Xie's family is chasing me," I said.
"Xie's family is chasing you?" Ruan Qi frowned slightly, "Are you really the third master?"
Before I had time to explain, the person chasing me had already followed. Before he entered the yard, I jumped into the pool and hid under the lotus leaves in the pool.
It's up to luck.
I peeped in between the lotus leaves, Ruan Qi was standing there, just now he was holding an umbrella in his hand, but in a blink of an eye the umbrella was gone, and the rain fell from his head in an instant, making him whole People are drenched.
"Ruan...Master Ruan?" The Xie family chased into the east courtyard and saw the dripping Ruan Qi, obviously stunned for a moment, "Did you see someone walking this way?"
Ruan Qi shook her head: "I'm the only one here."
The servant frowned slightly: "But... I just saw someone outside the yard. Didn't Master Ruan come to look up the ancient scrolls?"
"After reading the book all afternoon, I inevitably feel bored." Ruan Qi smiled slightly, "I just wanted to learn how the ancients walked in the rain. I didn't expect to lose my mind for a while and walked far away. I didn't want to cause trouble, but I didn't expect you to chase it all the way. here."
"This...Master Ruan, don't be surprised. It's dark at this time, and we can't see people clearly from a distance. We are worried that someone will break into the home, because we have just...have some news. In short, master, you can continue to work Well, don't worry too much." Jia Ding said.
Ruan Qi smiled: "Okay, on a rainy day, don't go outside, it's easy to catch cold."
"Thank you, young master, for your understanding." The servant saluted and exited the east courtyard. Ruan Qi looked out, and after about a minute, he turned and walked towards the pool.
At this time, I was frozen again. Ruan Qi grabbed my arm with both hands and pulled me up. I couldn't see his frail appearance, but his strength was not small. Holding an umbrella, I propped it up and helped me into the library in the east courtyard.
Inside the library, there is no one there. There are two book collection pavilions in the east courtyard. The larger one on the outside contains some ancient Chinese and ancient books, and the smaller one on the inside is the family history of the Xie family.
There is a small table in the library, Ruan Qi picked up the thermos cup on the table and handed it to me, I was not polite to him, I took three sips of it, the hot water was poured down, and my limbs finally managed to relax Come.
"Thank you." I said to Ruan Qi.
"You're welcome." Ruan Qi smiled, his expression made people feel more attractive, no wonder he would go to be the shopkeeper himself.
"By the way, what are you doing here?" I asked with a sigh of relief.
"I was going to ask you this question too." Ruan Qi smiled, "When I was researching the things you gave me yesterday, I found that what I had was not enough. Master Hua's family has a lot of ancient books. After all, their family is considered four or nine. One of the big families with the deepest roots in the city, and I have a good relationship with him, so I talked with my family in the afternoon and came here to check some information."
So it's still for us, and it's rare for him to care. I thanked him again, but Ruan Qi still shook his head with a smile.
I didn't have much communication with this person before, and the situation was rather delicate. This time I was saved by him, so I thought this person was a little cute, so I was a little bit in the mood to really observe this person.
Ruan Qi has a fragrance on his body, which has existed since the first time he saw him. It is probably some kind of perfume, which makes people feel very comfortable. His whole body gives people such a comfortable feeling, especially when he smiles. In the words of today's girls, it is very "warm".
"I'm here this time for some things about Lord Hua." I said, "I don't have much time, so I won't talk to you for now, I'm going over there."
Ruan Qi smiled again: "Okay. By the way, young master, according to what the servant just said, the intruder was found in the yard. Could it be your friends?"
I nodded.
"Presumably, in order to let the third master come out to check the information, they split up to attract attention and escape." Ruan Qi said, "Master, do you need me to help you?"
"Help me what?" I froze for a moment.
"I think it's because you and Master Hua are so close, now that Master Hua has an accident, it's inconvenient for you to walk around here. I don't have any taboos." Ruan Qi said, "If you are worried about your friends, I can help you." You go find them."
I thought about it, and asked Ruan Qi to find my little brother?It is estimated that the little brother will not pay attention to him, maybe he will kick him against the wall, but if you are looking for a fat man, it is still reliable.
"Do you remember that fat man?" I asked.
Ruan Qi nodded.
"Although I don't know where he went, but if it's convenient for you, you can tell him and wait for us at the appointed place in advance, and ask him to call my brother to tell the story."
Ruan Qi nodded, and then said thoughtfully: "Little Third Master, did you only bring two friends? I remember there were four of you."
I forced a smile: "Well, there should be four people."
Ruan Qi seemed to have seen through my frustration, and nodded apologetically: "The unintentional words, young master, don't mind."
I shook my head, and Ruan Qi said again: "Then... shall I go first?"
"Okay, sorry to trouble you." I said.
"Master Hua's friends are my friends, there is no trouble." Ruan Qi smiled.
He turned around and walked out of the east courtyard. I felt much calmer. Although Ruan Qi appeared suddenly, I have to admit that this time, he helped me a lot.
I know that I don't have a lot of time after all. Xie's family will conduct a thorough investigation at night, which is probably early in the morning. If I haven't found anything by then, I have to leave, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to get in again. That is to say, I have less than five hours.
I walked through the door of the big library and walked ten meters in the rain, and a smaller one-story house appeared in front of me.
The door is locked, which is not a big problem. I can do things like slipping the door and picking the lock.
Open the door and walk in. There are rows of bookshelves in the room. There are old volumes on the bookshelves. The styles and colors are different. The only thing that is consistent is the neat word "jie" on the spine of the books.
Xie's family history and anecdotes of a century are all sealed here.
