The Heartless Mage Chapter 230: Pandora’s jar (1)
Shi Danfeng had a nightmare at night, dreaming that Wuxin grew white hair all over his face, turned back into a monster that was neither human nor monkey, and bit people all over the room. She opened her eyes in a cold sweat, she lifted the quilt and sat up, clutching her chest and gasping for a long time.
Jiaqi got up early and went downstairs to buy pancakes, fruit and soy milk to make breakfast for everyone. Bai Daqian also went upstairs, and the four of them gathered in the empty living room, each sitting on a small bench to eat and drink. Shi Danfeng was born a good girl, and she beautified herself with a limited number of cosmetics, which attracted Bai Daqian to look at her in detail. Shi Danfeng didn't take him seriously, but after looking around the faces of the three people in front of him, he asked Shi Gaofei, "Where's Wuxin?"
Shi Gaofei originally had thin and clear double eyelids, but now his eyes are red and swollen, and even the double eyelids are swollen: "He is sick and doesn't want to eat."
As soon as this statement came out, the audience collectively wondered, never expecting that there will be times when Wuxin "don't want to eat". After thinking about it, Bai Daqian asked, "Did you freeze outside last night?"
Shi Gaofei drooped his eyelids and gave a dull "um".
Shi Danfeng put down the soy milk and pancake fruit in his hand, and went into the room to get a box of cold medicine. When she came back and handed the cold medicine to Shi Gaofei, she asked hesitantly, "Can he...take medicine?"
Shi Gaofi didn't take the medicine, just sniffed loudly, looking like he wanted to cry but had no tears.
Because Wuxin refused to show up and was described by Shi Gaofei as a seriously ill patient, Bai Daqian's three-person team had to be reduced to two. Shi Gaofei had already been instructed by Wuxin at night, and now he parroted all Wuxin's words to Bai Daqian. Bai Daqian had some thoughts in his heart, and it happened that his big client called again, respectfully urging him to start as soon as possible to turn the situation around on the construction site. So he reluctantly put on the grandmaster's style, and set off with Scooby.
Bai Daqian is gone forever, leaving Shi Danfeng alone to guard the company. At noon she went upstairs and saw Jiaqi squatting in front of Shi Gaofei's door, pressing her ears to the door panel. Stopped inexplicably, Shi Danfeng asked in a low voice, "Jiaqi, what are you doing?"
Jiaqi raised her head and said in a lower voice than Shi Danfeng: "Sister, I'm listening to TV. My brother said that the baby is ill, and I'm not allowed to watch TV in the house for a week. Said that I don't make noise, I only watch TV. My brother said that only watching TV is not enough."
Shi Danfeng was amused when he heard it. He leaned over to the door and listened. A male voice in the room was chatting. It was the TV that was playing the noon news.
Raising her hand and knocking on the door, Shi Danfeng asked, "Wuxin, are you hungry? What do you want for lunch?"
The TV suddenly went silent, and the unintentional answer came after a while: "I'm not hungry, I won't eat."
Shi Danfeng had suspicions in the morning, and now he still "don't eat", which makes him feel more and more wrong. Pushing the door hard, she raised the tone: "Wuxin, open the door and let me see you."
The room was completely quiet, and after several minutes, Wuxin stammered and replied, "I... I fell asleep."
Shi Danfeng battles wits and courage with his family all year round, and naturally has a way to deal with unintentional passive resistance. First find an excuse to take Jiaqi away. She bluffed outside: "Wuxin, I can kick this kind of door down with one kick. Do you open it yourself, or will I open it for you?"
Inadvertently hearing this, her hair stood on end, and the tender flesh in her left eye socket twitched like a cramp. Crawling around on the mattress at a loss, he had no choice but to get up and walk over to open the door a crack. Carefully showing his right eye, he looked at Shi Danfeng fearfully: "Sister, I'm really going to sleep."
Shi Danfeng greeted him with a smile like a tiger: "Are you really all right?"
Without waiting for Wuxin to answer, she swayed her thin shoulders and squeezed sideways into the crack of the door. Unconsciously, he stepped back and the door was completely lost. Hurrying to cover his face with his hands, he squatted down in front of Shi Danfeng and squatted into a small ball. Seeing that he hadn't turned into a monster, Shi Danfeng first breathed a sigh of relief and closed the door tightly.
Also crouched down in front of Wuxin, she stretched out her hand to grab the other's wrist: "What happened to the hand? Let me see."
Inadvertently, he relaxed his body resignedly. A hand was flattened on her knee by Shi Danfeng, and a large piece of skin was obviously missing on the back of the hand, but there was no scab. A thin layer of pink flesh film covered the white slender phalanges, the film was not flat, and it was faintly visible that there were a few long and short white hairs on the surface.
Shi Danfeng went to pull his other hand again, but he didn't pull it for a while, and the second time she used her strength to tear off the palm that was inadvertently blocking her eyes. Wuxin closed his eyes and whispered, "Sister, I was injured outside last night, my left eye... is gone."
Shi Danfeng stared at him: "Is it gone?"
Wuxin immediately added: "It can grow again - I won't become crippled."
Shi Danfeng reached out and raised Wuxin's chin, making him face up to him. Wuxin always closed her eyes and refused to open them, so she used the fingers of her other hand to open Wuxin's left eyelid. The left eyelid is sunken, and after opening it, there is nothing, only tender flesh bulges at the bottom of the eye socket.
Shi Danfeng held his breath, and after a long while he was relieved and let go: "You are scaring people to death. Last night I dreamed that you became a monkey. I didn't expect the dream to be quite accurate. You look like this. It's not much better than a monkey. How did you get hurt? Did you accidentally or was beaten? You said it would be nice if you were just a kitten and a puppy, but you have grown into a person. Since you look like a person, I have to treat you as a human being. Hey, do you know it hurts? You should know? There are eggs in the kitchen. I will make you a bowl of fried rice with eggs? To be Xiaofei’s sister is a sin in my past life. What is Xiaofei doing wrong? Do you want to dig the ground? What's wrong with digging it out, I have to dig out you? I'm daring, I didn't let you scare you to death at first, but now you're here to scare me. Do you think you were beaten? This place is so desolate, Xiaofei shouldn't let you go out at night..."
Stan-Feng's incoherent tirade, uttering the same thing, seems to be going crazy. Finally, she asked Wuxin again: "Does it hurt?"
Wuxin nodded: "It hurts."
Shi Danfeng sighed and touched his head again before getting up: "It's annoying."
Shi Danfeng went to the kitchen to make fried rice. Using an induction cooker to fry a large hot pot, she first filled two bowls for herself and Jiaqi, and then brought the pot into the Wuxin Room. Shi Danfeng has good cooking skills. When making egg fried rice, he can fry ten eggs with one egg. Looking at the golden brown, it is all an illusion. However, today she didn't show her cooking skills, and honestly fry the eggs into a large piece and hide it under the rice, she gave it all to Wuxin.
Wuxin came strangely and was terribly hurt, which made her feel a sense of panic and sadness, as if Wuxin might disappear at any time, and she was "feeding him one less meal" for him.
Back to the company in the afternoon, Shi Danfeng sat alone until evening with a few outdated magazines. The large and small companies in the upper and lower three-story office buildings are all off work, and the corridors are empty. Shi Danfeng was about to lock the door and go upstairs for dinner, but before she could get up, Bai Daqian came back with a red face.
Shi Danfeng stood up and greeted him. Seeing that he was alone, he asked, "Where's Xiaofei?"
Bai Daqian is in good spirits at every happy event. Now that he has found the opportunity to be alone with her, he is even more delighted: "He didn't go all the way with me, and went straight to the city in the afternoon. Hahaha, Danfeng, Today is a big day for me!"
Putting a round white cloth pocket in his hand on the table, Bai Daqian burped a wine burp, and then waved his hand to Shi Danfeng, "Danfeng, you don't know, I am too old today. He's handsome."
Shi Danfeng scrutinized him up and down, but admitted that he was dignified, but did not know what great things he had done, so that he boasted so much.
Bai Daqian pretended to be full of warm wine and meat. While recalling the content of the feast at night, he exaggerated his achievements today to Shi Danfeng. It turned out that he was pretending to be a ghost at the construction site in the morning and doing all kinds of pretentious things, which shocked the customers and the onlookers. When the performance was almost finished, he stopped in the big pit, suddenly reached out and pointed to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Dig it for me!"
Several migrant workers carrying shovels immediately stepped forward to dig, and when they dug more than one meter deep, they dug out a small clay pot. The clay pot is not an antique at first glance, and the weight is quite heavy. When Bai Daqian saw that the appearance of the pot was exactly what Shi Gaofei said, he immediately looked up to the sky and smiled: "It's this evildoer who is at work!"
