"ah!!"
The sudden sound of the shopkeeper's voice made the scholar who was writing furiously, so frightened that his heart stopped for a moment, and the pen in his hand snapped and flew out.
"Drink, drink, drink...!" Xiucai gasped, holding his heart.
"Shopkeeper, you'd better say hello before you come in. I almost scared me to death."
The shopkeeper was also startled by the scholar's scream just now, but seeing the scholar like this, the shopkeeper still said apologetically:
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do it. I came to you because I wanted to trouble you with something."
"Can you tell me something?" The scholar, who had almost recovered, quickly picked up the pen that fell on the ground and asked.
"You are such a scholar. Lao Bai and Xiao Guo haven't bought the medicine yet. I would like to ask you to grab some medicine for me." The shopkeeper took out two prescriptions from his waist and said to the scholar.
"That's it, no problem, then I'll go now." Xiucai directly took the prescription and responded. Just as his thoughts were interrupted by the shopkeeper, he might as well go for a walk.
"Thank you so much." The shopkeeper thanked her quickly. She knew that Xiucai was the most reliable among all her employees.
. . . . . .
In the lobby, Xiao Bei and Xiao Guo, who had already finished breakfast, nodded.
Xiao Bei deliberately shouted loudly: "After eating, I'm going to school!"
Lao Bai gave Xiao Bei a strange look, but he didn't pay much attention. He just smiled and said, "Go, remember to be careful on the road."
"I know!" Xiao Bei replied nonchalantly.
Xiao Guo on the side said: "I think it's not very peaceful recently. It happens that the store is closed today, so I'd better take you to school."
Xiao Bei quickly nodded happily and responded. "Well, thank you, Sister Xiaoguo."
Although Lao Bai felt a little strange, he didn't care about them and nodded.
Just like that, Xiao Bei and Xiao Guo were about to walk out of the door.
At this time, the shopkeeper and the scholar happened to come out.
Seeing the two people walking out of the door hand in hand, the shopkeeper felt a little strange and couldn't help asking curiously:
"Hey, where are you going?"
The two people who were stopped by the shopkeeper suddenly felt a little nervous, and they turned around uneasily.
Looking at the shopkeeper's curious eyes, it was Xiaobei who spoke first, and she said with an innocent face:
"Going to school? Didn't you say you were going to be late?"
"I know, I'm asking where Xiao Guo is going?" The shopkeeper nodded, looked at Xiao Guo and asked.
Xiao Guo responded hesitantly:
"I'm worried that Xiaobei won't be safe alone, so I plan to send Xiaobei to school."
Xiao Guo originally thought that if she said this, the shopkeeper would let her out, but she didn't expect the shopkeeper to directly hold her hand.
"Oh, my Aunt Di, your injury is not completely healed yet, so don't run around. It's better to stay in the store and recuperate."
The shopkeeper said with concern. Then, after thinking about it, Xiao Guo was right, and then she said to the scholar beside her:
"Xiucai, you happen to be going out for a trip, so please send Xiaobei to the academy first."
"Okay, it's the shopkeeper." Xiucai responded quickly.
Seeing that all their original plans had been disrupted, Xiao Bei hurriedly wanted to speak out, but Xiao Guo quietly shook his head at her. Xiao Guo knew that if it was too obvious, it would definitely arouse everyone's suspicion.
Seeing Xiao Guo like this, Xiao Bei had no choice but to agree.
At this moment, Xiao Guo suddenly said:
"By the way, Xiaobei, didn't you say you forgot to bring a book? Let's go back and get it quickly."
"Oh, oh!" Xiaobei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded in realization.
The two quickly ran back to their room.
The shopkeeper looked at the two people running around and couldn't help but sigh: "Why is this child so careless?"
An intriguing look of doubt flashed across Lao Bai's eyes.
In the backyard, in the wing room.
"Sister Xiao Guo, what should we do next?" Xiao Bei asked anxiously.
Xiao Guo quickly reassured: "Don't worry, sister has an alternative plan."
With that said, Xiao Guo whispered in Xiao Bei's ear again.
Beckham nodded while listening.
Just like that, after a while, Xiao Bei and Xiao Guo returned to the lobby.
"Why have you been here for so long? How are you, have you found the textbook?" Seeing that the two of them had just come out, the shopkeeper asked with concern.
"Found it." Xiaobei smiled and patted his schoolbag carefully, with a happy expression as if there was some treasure inside.
Although the shopkeeper felt something was wrong, she didn't have time to worry so much now. It was almost too late now. Now that the book had been found, the shopkeeper hurriedly urged the two of them to set off.
Just like that, Xiao Bei waved to everyone and followed the scholar to set off towards White Horse Academy.
Xiao Guo did not forget to shout from behind: "Be careful on the road and remember to have fun!"
The shopkeeper and Lao Bai looked at Xiao Guo strangely, wondering why Xiao Guo hadn't been so enthusiastic before.
However, Xiao Guo smiled nonchalantly, and then she happily walked back to her house alone.
. . .
Outside White Horse Academy, at a corner away from the entrance of the academy, Xiucai and Xiaobei stopped at the same time.
"Okay, Xiaobei, you can go there by yourself." Xiucai said to Xiaobei.
To be honest, the scholar still didn't want to see Mr. Zhu. Even though he knew that Mr. Zhu didn't mean to ridicule him before, he still didn't dare to see him.
He would rather wait until he is named on the gold list before meeting the other party, so that he will have enough courage and confidence.
However, this time it is destined that the scholar will not get his wish.
"No! You should go there." Xiaobei retorted to Xiucai.
"Ah! Me?" The scholar was stunned when he heard this, pointed at himself, and asked in disbelief.
"Well, that's right, it's you." Xiaobei nodded, and at the same time she took out a letter from her schoolbag.
"Here, take this and give it to Mr. Zhu."
The scholar took the letter handed over by Xiaobei doubtfully. He opened it curiously and looked at it, only to see three big words "please leave" written vertically on the far left.
The scholar quickly skimmed over the contents one by one in horror, and glanced directly to the end, where he saw the three characters Tong Xiangyu written clearly on the signature.
The scholar's mouth opened wide in surprise. He looked at Xiaobei in disbelief and asked in horror:
"What are you doing? What if your sister-in-law finds out?"
However, Xiaobei was not afraid at all. She smiled softly and said:
"Don't worry, as long as you don't tell me, my sister-in-law won't know about it? And with this leave request, Mr. Zhu won't go to my sister-in-law, so Brother Xiucai, everything depends on you. "
Xiao Bei looked at the scholar with a bright smile.
