After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Chapter 465 How can a small mosquito scare me?

Another day passed, at sunset, Zhai Jingyu knocked on the door of the Tao family with two gilded bracelets.

Mrs. Tao opened the door and was not surprised to see her. During this period, Zhai Jingyu came often, always bringing some cheap food, to ask her brother for knowledge.

Mrs. Tao could see that Zhai Jingyu had a crush on her brother, and she did not stop her because Tao Bushe did not suffer any loss anyway.

If Zhai Jingyu wants to take the lead, then just go for it.

Mrs. Tao happily welcomed Zhai Jingyu and Cui'er in, then called out Tao Bushe and asked the two to talk in the yard while she went into the house.

Under the mulberry tree again, Zhai Jingyu shyly expressed her love, then took out a gold bracelet, pretending that it was a gift for Mrs. Tao, and asked Tao Bushe to pass it on.

Sure enough, when Tao Bushe saw the gold bracelet, his eyes lit up.

But he didn't take it right away and even refused. Zhai Jingyu just said, why don't we exchange tokens of gratitude?

Exchange it for your jade pendant?

Tao Bushe made a rough estimate and found that the two gold bracelets were of equal value to his jade pendant, so he would not suffer any loss by exchanging them, and he gladly exchanged them.

After Zhai Jingyu went back, Tao Bushe showed the gold bracelet to Lord Tao and Madam Tao. Madam Tao was somewhat satisfied with Zhai Jingyu and said a lot of good things about her to Tao Bushe. She even said that if he really didn't like her, it would be fine to take her as a concubine in the future.

Tao Busha smiled shyly.

Mrs. Tao looked at the gold bracelet on her wrist and thought that she could lower the price further. At night, she said to Tao Bushe alone, "If there is a chance to have sex with her, I will help her. When the time comes, my family can pay less money."

Tao Bushe subconsciously felt that this was not a gentlemanly act, and argued with Mrs. Tao for a while, but finally he couldn't resist the nagging in his bones and agreed.

Save wherever you can!

Besides, he didn't do anything wrong to Zhai Jingyu!

After that day, Zhai Jingyu and Tao Bushe became more and more close. They even went out together at night, showing off their skills for free. When they were thirsty, they would ask for water. When they were hungry, Tao Bushe would go to the fields to pick sweet stalks, one each, and stand in the reed marsh to eat them while wild mosquitoes gnawed on them.

Zhai Jingyu's purse was emptied by the four dogs. She really had no money. Tao Bushe refused to pay a single cent.

In recent days, before going out, Zhai Jingyu would silently recite this phrase three hundred times: Only those who endure hardships can become the best!

Finally, the time has come.

The night breeze was cool, and the two of them sat close to each other under the shady tree, but they did not get any closer.

There was no sign of human being around.

Zhai Jingyu said that her family members had an appointment that night and would not be at home, so she asked Tao Bushe to come over for a gathering. As Zhai Jingyu spoke, she lowered her head shyly, and the deep meaning of her words was obvious.

Tao Bushe was stunned, his eyes trembled, and then he nodded.

"You...wait for me."

Zhai Jingyu felt a little depressed. She finally made it to this day.

Zhai Jingyu, Tao Bushe, the two of you go to hell!

On the tree, the kid sobbed, "Big brother, why are you hiding in the tree? So many mosquitoes are biting me..."

Shangguan Chengjing was eavesdropping with his ears perked up, and he comforted her by saying, "Yue'er, bear with it for a while. When they leave, I will take you home."

“But there are so many mosquitoes…”

"Where are the mosquitoes?" Shangguan Chengjing was puzzled. How come he didn't see a single mosquito?

He looked into his arms and saw that the little guy was wrapped tightly, with only his head and neck exposed. There was no mosquito to be seen.

Shangguan Chengjing fanned with his hands, "Don't be afraid, Yue'er, I won't let the mosquitoes bite you!"

Shangguan Qingyue frowned, looking pitiful, [Big brother said he didn't find it, so maybe I was wrong? But it's really itchy...]

Shangguan Chengjing became more and more certain that the child was just afraid and had an illusion.

"Yue'er, if you concentrate on watching the excitement below, you won't feel itchy."

"Yeah!" Shangguan Qingyue nodded heavily to cheer himself up.

[How can a tiny mosquito scare me? Don’t say there aren’t any. Even if there are, I’m not afraid! ]

She looked down at the tree.

At this moment, a group of mosquitoes were attached to her big toe which was squeezed out of the shoe, and the little toe was suffering the misfortune that it did not deserve.

Under the tree, Tao Bushe said, "Will you wear the jade pendant I gave you?"

Zhai Jingyu shook her head. "How can I keep it on me? I put the jade pendant in my bedroom."

Tao Bushe seemed to be relieved, and changed the subject, "My mother likes the bracelet you gave her very much."

Zhai Jingyu sneered in her heart, but said, "As long as Auntie likes it."

The two chatted for a long time. Before leaving, Zhai Jingyu repeatedly reminded him, "Don't break your promise tomorrow night!"

"Don't worry, I've got it."

After the two left, Shangguan Chengjing sneered, "I'll show you what I can do tomorrow night!"

After he finished speaking, he thought of the little girl in his arms and asked, "Yue'er, is it still itchy?"

Shangguan Qingyue said innocently, "It doesn't itch anymore, Dadede, you're right, it really doesn't itch anymore!"

Shangguan Chengjing raised his hand and stroked the little guy's head, chuckled, and was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of a black spot on the little guy's foot. He remembered that the little guy was wearing pink and white shoes when he came out, so why was there such a big black spot?

"What is this?" he said, reaching out to pinch Shangguan Qingyue's feet. Why are they wet?

Shangguan Qingyue also looked over.

Shangguan Chengjing put his fingers close to his eyes.

"What is this?" The little guy looked up.

The next second, I felt my brother's body stiffen.

Just at this moment, the night wind blew away the clouds that blocked the moonlight, and suddenly white light shone in, clearly illuminating the bloodstains on Shangguan Chengjing's thumb and index finger, with some black residue mixed in the blood.

Shangguan Chengjing looked at Shangguan Qingyue stiffly.

It was deathly quiet all around.

After a while, the little baby's earth-shaking cry broke out.

"Wow……"

……

Return to Zhai’s house.

"Wow..." The little guy's eyes were red, and tears as big as beans fell down. His chest was sobbing, and from time to time he let out a roar like a little beast. His little fists were clenched tightly, and it was obvious that he was very angry.

Shangguan Chengjing frowned as he looked at the little guy's swollen toes. The toes, which were originally pink and tender, had now swollen into the size of grapes.

He trembled as he raised his finger that was stained with ointment and wanted to apply it on the little guy, "Yue... Yue'er..."

“Apply…apply…” and it’s… done…

Shangguan Qingyue suddenly leaned back and kicked Shangguan Chengjing madly, cursing as he kicked him, "I'm going to tell mom, I'm going to tell dad!! Wow..."

Shangguan Chengjing felt pain and hissed. Seeing his little sister throwing a tantrum, he softly advised, "It's all my fault. Yue'er, don't be angry..."

Shangguan Qingyue felt more and more wronged and burst into tears, "I want to go home, I want to find my mother!!"

"It's too late today. Can I take you home tomorrow?"

"I want mother... mother..."

I don't know how long I coaxed him, but he finally stopped crying and pouted, "I want to drink some water."

Shangguan Chengjing hurried to pour water.

Shangguan Qingyue silently took out the paper from his arms and drew another line on it. This time, Shangguan Chengjing saw it. Shangguan Chengjing looked at the line on the paper and was stunned at first. Then he smiled and tried to get close to him. He asked weakly, "Yuer, why did you draw... a washing board?"

The little guy glanced at him coldly, folded the paper, put it in his arms, and took the cup to drink water.
