Su Qingluan carefully recalled Songbo's words before she walked out. It was not her imagination. She did hear the word "sure enough". In this case, did Mu Xingzhi expect there would be a lunar eclipse tonight?
Originally, in Su Qingluan's mind, Mu Xingzhi was a knowledgeable person. This time, she had a different understanding of the eight words "a good understanding of astronomy and a low understanding of geography" - after all, she is not a In an era when popular science books were readily available, Mu Xingzhi's attitude towards "Tengu Eclipsing the Moon" was unusually calm for the panicked villagers outside the door and even for the serious-looking Song Bo.
...Although it seems that her own attitude is also very abnormal.
So, what exactly will Mu Xingzhi do with this lunar eclipse? Thinking about this problem casually, Su Qingluan slowly walked home along the country road by the light of the gradually revealed moon.
Most of the people who greeted her along the way were still in shock. Some were too panicked before running away and lost a shoe, limping along the road to look for it; they were so scared that they cried with snot and tears. Although they have stopped crying now, they are still surrounded by people around them. People make fun of them; there are also people who pack gongs and people who clean firecrackers at the entrance of the courtyard...
Those who didn’t know thought they were rebuilding their homes after some great disaster.
Although for these people, they had just experienced a terrifying disaster.
Su Qingluan couldn't help but think: How is the Su family doing? Are your brother and sister scared?
Although I thought so, it was difficult to travel at night, not to mention that the temperature at night was already close to freezing point, and some small puddles on the rural roads were covered with a thin layer of ice.
This thin layer of ice on the water is even slipperier than ice as hard as stone, not to mention that Su Qingluan is currently wearing a thousand-layer sole with no sole pattern. Warmth and softness are the advantages of this kind of shoes, but the biggest disadvantage is the lack of anti-skid - it is better to say that the smooth soles have no anti-skid settings at all.
Before she reached home, she saw Su Guangfu holding a lantern in front of her, walking along the roadside little by little. Seeing Su Qingluan right in front of him, he quickly walked over and looked her up and down while holding a lantern.
"Dad, what's wrong? Why did you come out?" Su Qingluan quickly walked over and held Su Guangfu's arm.
"You asked me what's wrong!" Looking closer, Su Guangfu still had some sweat on his forehead, and his voice was a little breathy. It was obvious that he was walking in a hurry just now, "Didn't you see it just now?"
"What did you see?" Su Qingluan's heart moved, but her face remained calm.
"Tengu..." As if he was afraid of disturbing something, Su Guangfu just said two words, and looked at the left and right and the direction of the moon warily, "Tengu eats the moon!"
Su Qingluan pretended to be confused: "Just now, Mr. Mu said that I had worked hard to prepare the food, so he invited me to have dinner with him. On the way, I heard a commotion outside, but I came back when Songbo went to inquire, so I don't know much about it. "
This was half true and half false, but she couldn't possibly tell her father that she was looking forward to the total lunar eclipse and even regretted that she didn't have an astronomical camera to capture the entire event, right?
Otherwise, the other party would probably think that she was mentally ill - after all, she had suffered "high fever and amnesia".
In fact, Su Qingluan was a little unsure about such obvious loopholes, but it was obvious that she underestimated her own father's filter for Mu Xingzhi. Su Guangfu, who was originally a little nervous, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his head. Khan: "With Mr. Mu here, everything will be safe. He scared your mother and I just now."
Su Qingluan slandered: How come Mu Xingzhi has "no worries about everything"? Even if he has some power to mobilize, he is still a weak scholar. Even if it is false that his feet are weak, his thin body is visible to the naked eye.
To put it bluntly, Su Qingluan felt that although her small body might not have much advantage compared to strength, if she encountered an emergency and had to run away, Su Qingluan thought that she was very flexible and maneuverable. What an advantage!
Of course, Su Qingluan only dared to keep these words in her stomach, otherwise her father would probably clean up the house if she heard them.
The father and daughter returned home, and the yard was quiet.
After a while, Su Xuanhe ran out of his room first, probably after hearing the sound of the courtyard door opening and closing. Su Qingluan was just about to say, "Look at the threshold," when the boy grabbed him and hugged her, and looked up at her. : "Sister, are you okay?"
Su Qingluan originally wanted to make a joke, but when she saw her brother's worried and frightened eyes, as well as the swollen eyelids that were obviously just from crying, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she touched the top of his hair in a rare gesture: " Sister, I’m fine, don’t worry! Why don’t you rest?”
"Wen Shu."
Su Guangfu looked back and forth: "Where is your grandma? Why can't she be seen?"
"My sister is afraid of tengu and frightened by the sound of firecrackers. She keeps crying. My mother is probably coaxing her in the inner room." Su Xuanhe pointed in the direction of the inner room.
Su Qingluan looked inside, and sure enough, there was a faint flickering candlelight. Of course, because there is a front hall across the way, the voices of the people inside cannot be heard.
Sure enough, when Su Qingluan had dismantled her bun in her room and was about to fall asleep, she heard Yang outside the door whisper: "Is Da Ya asleep?"
"Mom, I'm not sleeping yet. Come in!" Su Qingluan sat up from the bed with her hair disheveled.
I saw Mrs. Yang coming in from the door, holding a bowl of steaming things in her hand and handing it to her: "Here, this is longan and red date soup, used to calm the nerves." Mrs. Yang touched Su Qingluan's hand lovingly, " Poor Da Ya, are you scared to be alone at Mr. Mu's place? Her little hands are so scared that they are cold!"
...No, her hands were a little cold just because she was lazy when she washed her face. She didn't want to go to the kitchen to get the remaining hot water, so she just used the cold water...
Su Qingluan held back her frustrations, but didn't say anything in the end: Forget it, forget it, there is a "fear" that your mother thinks you are afraid.
What's more, a bowl of hot red date and longan water is quite warm on a cold day.
Thinking like this, Su Qingluan took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Just as she was about to hand the bowl back to Yang, she found that the other party was staring at her with a look that made her back shiver.
Obviously, Yang had something to tell her! Because the words "I have something to say" were clearly displayed on Yang's face!
Recalling that she had "accidentally ruined Mu Xingzhi's innocence a little bit" before, Su Qingluan felt a headache: Don't let her mother misunderstand!
In the end, Morpheus's Law did not bully her, whatever she was afraid of would come to pass. Yang took the bowl and put it in her hand. After brewing for a long time, she asked cautiously: "Big girl, you and Mr. Mu..."
"We are innocent!" Su Qingluan blurted out.
Yang was stunned.
Su Qingluan, who realized what she had said, was instantly heartbroken. There was nothing wrong in the first place, but she was so stressed that she felt like "there is no three hundred taels of silver here"! Thinking about it this way, she became even more tired.
"...Mom, I'm very sleepy now and want to rest..." At this point, she just wants to sleep to escape all embarrassment...
