"Brother?" Shen Qingqian was a little confused. What did Shen Xiao want from her?
At this time, both Liang and Shen Zhe were already asleep, and Shen Xiao's shout did not wake them up.
"I have something to tell you, can you come out for a moment?" Shen Xiao's voice was also very low, as if he was afraid of waking others.
Shen Qingqian quickly stood up, straightened her clothes and went out.
None of their houses have doors, and they are now blocked with debris.
"Brother, what's the matter?"
Shen Xiao's face was a bit unclear under the moonlight, but Shen Qingqian could feel his guilt and uneasiness.
"The picture that Third Brother Cheng gave me today was drawn by you, right? My Second Brother and I both heard it that day." Shen Xiao whispered.
Shen Qingqian was slightly stunned. Shen Xiao and Shen Jun actually heard her conversation with Cheng San that day? Then why didn't they ask her before?
"I'm sorry, Sixth Sister. Big brother took away your credit. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to go to the Ordnance Supervision, but you had to follow the others to open up wasteland..."
Shen Xiao said feeling extremely guilty and wished he could give this opportunity back to Shen Qingqian immediately.
After hearing his words, Shen Qingqian, who was still a little worried at first, suddenly became dumbfounded.
She thought Shen Xiao was going to ask her why she could draw that picture, but it turned out that he was so guilty that he couldn't sleep because he had taken the credit from her.
This man is so... so honest that no one can bear to lie to him.
But you still have to lie.
Shen Qingqian interrupted him, "Brother, please don't think like this. I didn't tell you directly at the time, just because I didn't want people to know that I drew that picture! Now it's best that this credit falls on you. As a result, it was too late for me to be happy, so how could I blame you?"
If she had known there were such benefits, she would never have let Cheng San take the picture and make a spiral fan.
"But..." Shen Xiao wanted to say more.
Shen Qingqian directly raised her hand to stop her, "Brother, think about it, I am a woman, and I have not yet reached the age of hair, and I have made such a thing, not to mention whether anyone will believe it if I tell you. Even if you believe it, it is really a good thing for me. ?"
What's more, they are still prisoners, and Shen Qingqian doesn't think it's a good thing to stand out too much.
Shen Xiao was stunned and began to think about it from Shen Qingqian's perspective. The more he thought about it, the more he secretly sweated and said with a stern expression, "This matter must not be known to outsiders! I will tell Third Brother Cheng again tomorrow. Sentence, tell him not to tell anyone."
"Brother, as long as you understand," Shen Qingqian smiled slightly, "It's getting late. Brother has to report to the Ordnance Supervision tomorrow, so go back and rest quickly."
They who are opening up wasteland do not have very strict time requirements, as long as they complete the task of clearing up wasteland on time, but Shen Xiao is a government official and has to go to the military inspection department to work every day.
"Well, I was mistaken earlier, so you should go to bed early."
The two said goodbye to each other and went back to their houses to sleep.
…
Early the next morning, Shen Yong couldn't wait to run outside the house to take a look.
He stepped on it, and there was a big footprint in the mud last night.
Shen Yong quickly retracted his feet and shouted towards Shen Qingqian's house, "Sixth sister, come and see, is the mud broken?"
Shen Qingqian didn't sleep well last night. She was just woken up by Madam Liang. When she heard Shen Yong's shout, she woke up immediately, quickly got dressed and ran out.
As soon as she saw the footprints on the ground, she patted her chest and said, "Fourth brother, why are you scaring me? Isn't it just a footprint? If you can make footprints, it means that the mud has not dried completely. Just wait and it will dry." There will be no footprints.”
But judging by time, there shouldn't be such deep footprints. What went wrong?
