Zinai came over with a large bucket of hot water and looked into the washing room. Her brother was already lying in the big wooden basin and fell asleep.
He probably didn't want to see the torn clothes, so he didn't know where he hid them.
He probably didn't want to see the blood all over his body, so he quickly took a shower after sneaking back.
But he was so tired that he fell asleep halfway through washing.
If the water got cold, she was worried that her brother would be frozen, so she tiptoed to boil the water and tiptoed in carrying the bucket.
What else can you do if you have such a brother?
Does scolding him work?
Zinai saw the bruises on Lin Ye's upper body. They didn't look like marks caused by someone else.
She had read the Book on the Balcony, Zhou Tian Shen Shu, and the medicinal scriptures left by Master Qian for Lin Ye.
So she could guess what kind of fierce battle her brother had gone through, and he didn't hesitate to seal his own acupuncture points.
The hot water was slowly poured into the large wooden basin. Lin Ye woke up immediately and quickly ducked down to hide in the water.
Zinai snorted, poured the water in, turned around and went out. After a while, he came back with a set of clean clothes and placed them next to him.
She didn't say anything, put down her clothes and went out again.
Lin Ye quickly finished taking a shower, put on his clothes and went out, feeling much more energetic.
In the yard, Zinai was looking at the dark thing. As soon as she got closer, she felt a little uncomfortable all over.
"It's a pity, I can't fight back four."
Lin Ye smiled coquettishly. I don't know when he started to act like a child, and Zinai was the parent.
Zinai glanced at him: "Go to bed."
Lin Ye: "Actually, I'm not sleepy... I went out last night, and I didn't expect that I would encounter some unavoidable things."
Zinai: "It's amazing, he also learned to lie."
Lin Ye changed the subject: "How about I tell you the origin of this stone? This stone is interesting."
Zinai: "It's just the light-measuring stone turned upside down."
Lin Ye was stunned.
Zinai pointed to the complicated and detailed text on the stone statue: "I can't understand it, but I can probably deduce that this is a magic circle that can reverse the function of the light-measuring stone."
She, a young adult, put her hands behind her back and said with a serious face: "I haven't tried to test the light stone, but I can probably guess it."
"Drinking the fragrance of phoenix saliva is to stimulate the internal energy in the Dantian, and the measuring stone absorbs this internal energy."
"This stone statue works the other way around. It suppresses the inner energy in the Dantian and cannot release it... So, when you went out last night, did you kill Tianshui Ya?"
Lin Ye: "..."
Zinai said: "I won't do it next time."
Lin Ye: "Okay, okay, don't fight next time."
Zinai: "It's not about a fight. My brother wanted to get me a light-measuring stone last time. You didn't say it, but I knew it by looking at your eyes."
"If you hadn't figured out where this stone statue came from, you wouldn't have carried it back so hard."
She turned around and took Lin Ye's hand, which was also covered in bruises.
Zinai said: "If I want something and I really can't bear it, I will tell you. If I don't tell you, I just don't want it that much."
Lin Ye nodded: "I know..."
Zinai: "Now, let's talk about random fights."
Lin Ye: "So sleepy."
Zinai: "So angry."
Lin Ye: "See you later."
Zinai: "Then I'll forget about being angry first. I'll continue to be angry when you wake up."
Lin Ye nodded vigorously and then got into the house.
After Lin Ye returned to the house, Zinai looked down at her hands. She just thought that she didn't know when she would be able to protect her brother.
Practicing is so hard, and those books are so difficult to understand.
But all this hard work is nothing compared to my brother.
Lao Chen came out of the house, rubbed his eyes, and was startled when he saw an additional stone statue in the yard.
He quickly put his hands together and bowed, then took out a handful of copper coins and placed them in the hands of the stone statue.
The sculptured shape of the stone statue is also strange, with both hands stretched out flat and palms facing upwards. It looks like he is asking someone for something.
"Is your brother going to bed?"
Lao Chen asked.
Zina nodded: "Sleep."
Lao Chen asked: "What do you want to eat?"
Zinai: "Omelette."
Lao Chen: "You have to wait a while. It's not troublesome to fry eggs, but it is a little troublesome to fry fifty or sixty."
Zinai: "No matter how hard it is, we can't hurt the child."
Lao Chen: "Then let's fry ten more..."
This means that Lin Ye now has a bit of property, and Dafu Dog's business is doing pretty well. Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't be able to take care of sixty or seventy eggs this morning.
While Lao Chen was making eggs, Zinai stared at the stone statue and studied it.
Putting four of these things together, coupled with the effect of the rune array, can suppress the practitioner's internal energy.
This one alone can make Zina feel a little uncomfortable, but the feeling is not that strong.
She was thinking that since this stone statue was probably the same thing as the light-measuring stone, but the effect was reversed, there must be a way to reverse it.
But the dense text and the messy textures on it are really difficult to understand.
As she pondered, she unconsciously walked around the stone statue. When she reached the back of the stone statue, she was suddenly stunned.
It turned out that it was, damn it, so simple?
Standing behind the stone statue, he didn't feel any discomfort. Zinai thought for a moment and put his hand on the back of the stone statue.
In just an instant, Zinai's face changed drastically, and she immediately withdrew her hand, her heart pounding in fear.
The moment she put her palm against the stone statue, the runes and textures in front of the stone statue all lit up, emitting bursts of black light.
With a bang, the door of the house was knocked open, and Lin Ye had already rushed into the yard.
"Zina, are you okay?"
After Lin Ye rushed out, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zinai had been far away.
Zinai looked at Lin Ye, her expression gradually exaggerated, then slowly raised her left hand to cover her eyes, and pointed at Lin Ye with her right hand.
"No clothes on."
Lin Ye turned around and rushed back.
He shouted in the room: "Don't touch the stone statue yet. Don't hurt you. I'll think of a solution later."
Zina hummed, and she was also thinking of a solution.
Although she is not an ordinary child, she is still a child.
Therefore, children's way of thinking will always appear slightly more direct and simple.
She was already thinking about how to scratch off all the runes on the front of the stone statue, so that there should be no problem.
But there are no sharp weapons. If we use force from the front, we don't know if anything will happen.
She thought for a moment, then looked back and saw the stone mill in the yard.
So, the little girl leaned over, grabbed the two feet of the stone statue, and carried the stone statue flatly to the millstone.
Just like this, he held the stone statue's ankle and pushed and pulled on the millstone, making the grindstone squeak.
Lin Ye saw this scene when he got dressed and came out. He was a little distracted for a moment.
Yes, he did lose strength in the fight last night, so it seemed very hard, but he was sure that the stone statue was definitely not light. Of course, he knew best how tired he was when he carried it and ran back.
Look at Xiao Zina again, grabbing the ankle of the stone statue and grinding it there. It feels like what she is holding is not a stone statue, but a wooden stick.
Xiaohan didn't know what he was doing. He ran around the millstone a few times and found it boring.
So I brought a fur ball over. It was made for it by Zinai, and it liked it the most.
Xiaohan handed the hair ball to Zinai and got ready to start. Zinai held the stone statue with one hand and continued to grind it, and took the hair ball with the other hand and threw it out.
Xiaohan ran after the fur ball, ran back with his head shaking, and handed the fur ball to Zina again.
The girl was holding the stone statue flat with one hand and pulling it back and forth, and holding a fur ball in the other hand to tease the dog.
Lao Chen came out with a large bowl of fried eggs. When he saw this scene, he looked at the fried eggs again.
"Looking at it this way, it makes sense."
He muttered to himself and put the fried eggs on the stone table outside: "It's time to eat."
When Zina heard these three words, it was as if she heard the call of a magic spell, and her eyes brightened.
She put the fur ball on the millstone and threw the stone statue out.
Xiaohan was already ready to start. Looking at the stone statue flying out, it was also stunned, not knowing whether to chase or not.
Anyway, a hole was made on the ground.
Lin Ye went over to help the stone statue up and patted the soil on it: "You were treated like a treasure in Feiyu Hall. You didn't expect to be treated like this here."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Ye wanted to hide the stone statue, but before he could, the door was gently pushed open.
Lin Ye sighed. When he came back, he carried the stone statue and closed the door, but did not insert it properly.
When the blue-robed priest Nie Wuzhi entered the door, he immediately felt the awkward atmosphere permeating the small courtyard.
A little girl was holding a basin full of fried eggs, and a young man was carrying a stone statue on his shoulders. The stone statue was covered with dirt.
The little girl probably wanted to hide the omelette, and the young man probably wanted to hide the stone statue.
At this scene, he didn't know what to look at for a while.
It stands to reason that he should look at the stone statue more, but why can't his eyes be separated from the bowl of fried eggs?
Zina saw this strange man staring at her rice bowl, so she carefully moved the rice bowl behind her.
Nie Wuzhi couldn't hold it back and pointed: "That's it?"
Zinai: "No."
Nie Wuzhi nodded: "Okay..."
Zina was relieved.
What kind of weirdo is this? He stares at someone's breakfast as soon as he walks in. He looks decent in his clothes, but he is so impolite.
Nie Wuzhi walked up to Lin Ye, and Lin Ye said, "You should knock on the door, so that it won't look awkward."
Nie Wuzhi: "I knocked it."
Lin Ye: "But you didn't wait for me to say please come in."
Nie Wuzhi: "After all, I'm afraid you'll hide me."
Lin Ye: "..."
Nie Wuzhi asked him: "Do you think this thing is similar to the light measuring stone, so you moved it home?"
Lin Ye: "I'm not very good at lying, so I won't answer."
Nie Wuzhi: "If you want to use this thing as a light-measuring stone, you need to erase the runes on the front and carve it again. Can you do it?"
Lin Ye: "I can't."
Nie Wuzhi: "I can."
He pointed to the open space next to him and signaled Lin Ye to put down the things. He could tell from Lin Ye's petty actions that Lin Ye was still on guard against him grabbing them.
He said: "If I want to rob, why should I do it secretly?"
Lin Ye nodded: "That makes sense."
Nie Wuzhi smiled, raised his fingers, and a blue light appeared between them.
His fingers were swept back and forth in the air quickly, and the stone statues fell down piece by piece like peeled fruit.
Zinai's eyes began to shine as she looked at the flying blue light.
She pointed: "That's it?"
Nie Wuzhi saw it and responded seriously: "I won't give it either."
Zinai turned his head and curled his lips.
After a while, the runes on the stone statue were cut clean. Nie Wuzhi asked: "It looks like it has been polished?"
Lin Ye pointed to the stone mill behind, and Nie Wuzhi looked at it. There was a deep groove on the stone mill.
Nie Wuzhi felt that what he liked was probably this kind of monster in the world, not only with strange behavior, but also strange thoughts.
Thinking back to when he was Lin Ye's age, it seems that he was not much different.
So Nie Wuji smiled and said, "You are not tired either."
Lin Ye didn't explain.
Of course he couldn't explain it. After all, to make Nie Wuzhi believe that it was a little girl who did it, it was better not to let him know.
The blue light reappeared in Nie Wuzhi's hand, and soon, new runes appeared on the stone statue, which looked much more pleasing to the eye than before.
"it's OK now."
Nie Wuzhi stopped his hand. There were not only runes on the stone statue, but also six carved hexagrams connected to the texture.
Nie Wuzhi turned around and looked at Zinai: "Now, can I ask for two fried eggs? After all, I haven't had breakfast yet."
Zinai handed him the basin, and Nie Wuzhi immediately laughed.
Lin Ye: "Aren't you here to take the stone statue away?"
Nie Wuji pinched an omelette and put it in his mouth, chewing it while saying, "I've brought them all back, three of them."
He said: "There are all the witnesses and physical evidence, just three of them, so what else should I bring?"
Then he looked at Zina: "Two of them, they don't seem to be full."
Zina thought for a while, raised the rice bowl high, and asked: "At most, half of the meal is per person, is that okay?"
