There are countless pen writing halls in the world, located in every corner of the world, even in the heavily guarded imperial city of Tianan.
But when it comes to the most regulated writing hall among them, the one in Cangyuan City is definitely ranked among the top three, even though it is only a branch hall.
At this time, Xia Liuxi dragged her tired body slowly into the door of the writing hall. Her white clothes were torn on the right side. She looked extremely embarrassed, her eyes were dull, and she was also paying attention to the eyes of the people around her. She was just walking as before. .
Of course, Yu Ran, who had followed her to Tsukiji earlier, was not with her. She had not seen Yu Ran since he was sent out of the valley by the five-foot-long crocodile yesterday.
Yu Ran has always been timid. He guessed that as soon as he came out of the valley yesterday, he was so scared that he went home to find his mother.
However, what happened in the valley yesterday made her feel a little numb now thinking about it. Fortunately, the crocodile with its giant white teeth understood its owner and didn't bite it. Otherwise, she would be a corpse now. The lower body is separated from the body.
Although she stopped it in time and didn't bite her, she was injured in many places on her body, and her clothes were soaked red with a little blood, but these were just minor injuries to her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't go out to run errands for those wealthy and wealthy businessmen at night just to make money.
Xia Liuxi shook her head vigorously, and after sorting out her thoughts, she quickened her pace.
Soon, she walked into the shabby room where her subordinate was not really just a backup writer. This room was in the corner of the first floor. Not only is it dilapidated, but it's also a bit dark, so this is the place that the pen writers in the pen hall don't want to come to.
Although the writing hall is very large, there are also big and small kings within it. For example, the organization that Xia Liuxi belongs to is said to be a backup for the real writing staff, but in fact it is just to find useful information from those old things. Just a proponent of value.
There are eight people in total, including Xia Liuxi herself.
If you want to get out of this place and become a true writer, it will be like ascending to heaven. This is one of the reasons why she wants to work hard to write big news.
As soon as Xia Liuxi walked into the dilapidated house, she found that the atmosphere was wrong. Several people in the house were gathering together, secretly discussing something.
From time to time, the male duck's voice could be heard being cursed in the room to the south.
Seeing this scene, Xia Liuxi knew what was going on without having to think about it. The old duck manager Tang Yong was going crazy again.
"Sister Liu Xi?" Suddenly a girl with a red oval face saw Xia Liuxi walking in.
Others heard the sound and turned their heads to look over. They all subconsciously called her "Sister Liuxi" or Liuxi girl. Then they were all shocked because they all saw a small patch of blood on her waist. Red-stained clothes.
Xia Liuxi was quite popular among these people. Although she was usually indifferent and seldom spoke, several people in front of her still came up with concern.
"Sister Liu Xi, what's wrong with you? Are you injured? How did you become like this?"
"Well, my clothes are all torn."
"Yes, girl Liuxi, it looks like she's seriously injured. Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?"
Hearing these words, Xia Liuxi felt a lot warmer in her heart. She smiled and said, "I'm fine, just a few minor injuries." However, her voice was a little weak.
"It's okay, it's okay. Sister Liuxi, you know how to show off. Did you run errands for those wealthy businessmen again last night?" The oval-faced girl stepped forward to help Xia Liuxi, and slowly helped her sit down on the chair next to her. .
Xia Liuxi smiled and didn't reply, but at this moment, another curse came from the south room, which was not very pleasant, and several people looked back involuntarily.
Only Xia Liuxi didn't look, and endured the pain in her body and asked: "Who is the old duck scolding again?"
"Old Duck" naturally refers to their steward. Because his voice is like a duck and he looks old, he is nicknamed "Old Duck". Of course, they only call him that in private.
"Sister Liu Xi, it's Yu Ran." The oval-faced girl whispered, "I've been scolding for more than an hour, and I'm not tired at all. You can really scold."
"Yeah, boy Yu is in trouble this time."
Xia Liuxi was a little unbelievable. This kid actually dared to come the next day. None of them were timid enough to know that even if they fell down, they would have to go home and rest for a few days. Why did he show up today?
The oval-faced girl suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly: "Ah, by the way, Sister Liu Xi, the old duck said that I will ask you to find him as soon as you come."
"Call me?" Xia Liuxi was a little confused.
However, after thinking about it carefully, she guessed what she was being asked to do. It was probably because of the writing she did yesterday.
The oval-faced girl nodded, and then continued with some fear: "Well, I knew it was not a good thing from the old duck's tone. Sister Liuxi, be careful."
Xia Liuxi nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Then, with the help of the oval-faced girl, Xia Liuxi endured the pain and came to the door of the south room. Then the oval-faced girl carefully stepped back.
Xia Liuxi adjusted her breathing so that her face was no longer so ugly. Immediately, he raised his hand and knocked on the door in front of him.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
"Who is it?" As soon as the doorbell came out, a huge roar of a drake came from the room. The people behind Xia Liuxi were so frightened that they gathered together. The oval-faced girl almost fell to the ground when she had just stood firm.
But Xia Liuxi acted as if nothing was wrong, her eyes were no longer dull, but more indifferent. She didn't reply, but opened the door directly and entered.
As soon as he came in, Xia Liuxi saw the old-looking steward, sitting on his tiger-head chair, looking at the door.
And the unlucky Yu Ran naturally stood opposite him, with his head lowered, his whole body couldn't help but tremble again, and he didn't dare to say a word. Looking carefully, a man seemed to be crying again.
"Xia Liuxi?" Tang Yong, the steward, narrowed his eyes, "Xia Liuxi, you still dare to come."
I was afraid that the steward was angry at this time. Seeing Xia Liuxi in a miserable state and covered with blood, he turned a blind eye and glanced at her, but it was just a glance.
Xia Liuxi didn't pay attention to Tang Yong's words, and walked slowly until she was level with Yu Ran. She said, "Manager Tang, what do you want me to do?"
Tang Yong, the steward of the organization that organizes old affairs, has been in this sterile place for more than ten years. Although he is a small steward, he has long been impatient.
So he would get irritable whenever something went wrong, and his temper gradually became worse and worse, so he developed this skill of swearing.
"Xia Liuxi, do you have the nerve to ask me?" Tang Yong pointed at Xia Liuxi and asked, "Let me ask you, where did you get the writing you wrote yesterday? Can you touch that thing?"
"I borrowed it." Xia Liuxi replied calmly.
After hearing this, Tang Yongyang gritted his teeth and said: "Fart! You know what it means to take without asking is a thief. You clearly stole another writer's writing and yet you are still arguing with me here. You count the other one?" No one is qualified to write news, you are a servant of the writing hall."
"Steward Tang, please don't accuse a good person unjustly. When did I steal someone else's pen? Don't speak so harshly again." Xia Liuxi's expression changed and she asked questioningly.
Tang Yong put his hands on his hips and winked: "Okay, Xia Liuxi, you are still pretending to me here. Yu Ran just told me that you stole it and you are still making excuses."
Xia Liuxi looked at Yu Ran in disbelief. Yu Ran seemed to have a guilty conscience and subconsciously hid, "Yu Ran, didn't you say that you lent that writing pen to a friend you know well? Why did you think I stole it?" Did you take someone else's?
Yu Ran lowered his head and still avoided her gaze without speaking.
Tang Yong said impatiently: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Where is the writing pen? Take it out and send it back quickly, then pack up your things and get out of here."
Xia Liuxi turned to look at Tang Yong: "Director Tang, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean, you have been removed from the Bi-writing Hall." Tang Yong said.
"Expelled?" Xia Liuxi was also anxious, "Director Tang, why do you expel me? Now you want to kill me, can you live with your conscience?"
"Conscience?" Tang Yong sneered, "Can conscience be used as food? It can't. You ask me why, just because you are disobedient? How about that? Is this a good reason?"
"you……"
Xia Liuxi finally understood that this Tang Yong was determined to kick her away. Even Yu Ran, whom she cared for the most, was now working together to frame her.
However, it is meaningless to say too much. You still have to go.
"Steward Tang, you are so calculating." Xia Liuxi smiled, "I, Xia Liuxi, have seen it today."
After saying that, he glanced at the two of them indifferently, turned around and walked towards the door without hesitation. Tang Yong couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he saw this, but suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, Xia Liuxi, leave the writing behind before leaving."
Xia Liuxi did not stop and continued walking. However, she replied to Tang Yong with two words: "Throw it away."
"What, threw it away?" Tang Yong was shocked, "Stop, do you know how expensive that writing pen is? Just throw it away...hey, hey..."
Xia Liuxi smiled and ignored him completely. She opened the door and walked out as if it had nothing to do with me.
However, Tang Yong is right. Each writing brush is made of special materials. It is difficult to find and difficult to make. A writing brush costs at least a thousand taels of silver.
When Tang Yong saw this, he was so angry that he kicked the table. What a sin!
Tang Yong turned around and found that Yu Ran was still stunned. He immediately yelled in his drake voice: "You brat, what are you doing standing there in a daze? If you don't go, I'll chase you back."
Yu Ran was frightened by the shout, but he recovered and said in a stuttering tone: "Yes... yes... Manager Tang."
After saying that, he chased after him.
After Yu Ran left, Tang Yongcai let out a long sigh: "Xia Liuxi, please don't blame me. I can't help it. Who told you to offend someone you shouldn't offend?"
