Chapter 185 Everything is known
It turns out to be a room full of books?
Shen Jiasui felt incredible. As he stepped inside, his eyes were already stinging.
When she looked carefully inside the ear room, she understood.
There was a jar and a basin placed in each corner of the ear room. Shen Jiasui looked to the nearby corner and saw that the jar was filled with lime and the basin was filled with charcoal blocks.
Hanging in bunches on the mahogany bookshelf are the pungent Sichuan peppercorns, and scattered in front of the books on the shelf are piles of camphor leaves.
Although Shen Jiasui was the daughter of a general, she was well educated and knew these common sense.
Lime and carbon blocks are used to prevent moisture, while pepper and camphor leaves are used to repel insects.
But every household can only put a few in the study or library at most. After all, there are people coming and going in the house, and they can't be exposed to the smell.
Unlike this mother Mo, the overwhelming amount of pepper and camphor leaves can suffocate people to death if they stay there for a while!
At this time, Shen Jiasui was already certain that the things that Mother Mo had kept for Gu Xizhi must be here.
News came back in the evening that the thing Mother Mo handed to Gu Xizhi was wrapped in silk cloth, so it must be light and easy to carry.
So, is it a book? Is it a letter?
Shen Jiasui was puzzled as he looked at the overflowing bookshelves. If they were really books or letters, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack here.
at this time--
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Suddenly, a series of rapid coughs were heard outside the house, and Mother Mo seemed to have woken up!
Shen Jiasui shuddered, guessing that he had just opened the door of the ear room, causing the strong smell to spread out and irritate Mother Mo.
Soon, the rustling sound of clothes was heard outside, and candlelight came on again.
The sound of cups colliding followed closely, and Mother Mo seemed to stand up to drink water.
At this time, Shen Jiasui had an idea.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
The sound was particularly clear in the silent night.
Now that the raccoon has learned how to call, the mouse will naturally be able to do the same.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and the candlelight was approaching.
Bang!
The door of the ear room was pushed open forcefully!
Shen Jiasui huddled on the beam, curled up as tightly as possible, and hid behind a pillar. He saw the candlelight reflecting Mother Mo's anxious face.
She seemed to be choked by the smell in the room and sneezed several times in succession. Her originally drowsy head became much clearer.
"How come there are still rats!"
Mother Mo muttered to herself hurriedly, and immediately went to check the rat cage in the corner, and then to look at the food mixed with arsenic next to the jar, but found nothing.
"That's strange. I guess I'll have to catch a raccoon tomorrow."
Mother Mo muttered, turned around and was about to go out, but when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and turned back to look at the first bookshelf.
The girl was so happy to see that she had kept the things well today and even praised her.
Now is the critical moment. We have worked hard for all these years and we cannot make any mistakes.
Thinking of this, Mother Mo turned back and walked towards the first bookshelf with a clear goal. She took out one of the books naturally, held it in her hand and quickly flipped through it, with a relieved smile on her face.
She performed the same action three times in a row, but stood in a different position each time.
Shen Jiasui hid on the beam, not caring about the stinging pain in his eyes, and carefully memorized Mo Mama's location.
When things are urgent, people must first check the most important things, like protecting the treasure of their hearts. If they lose it, everything will be over. This is human nature.
Therefore, Shen Jiasui imitated the sound of a mouse and lured Mother Mo over, just to make her expose herself.
I don’t know if she had finished the examination or was relieved and didn’t need to look any further, but Mother Mo turned and left.
Only then did she raise her sleeve to wipe her face. It turned out that she had already been in tears due to the smoke and was sure that she could not stay any longer.
squeak-
The door was closed and the candlelight gradually faded away.
Hearing the noise outside, Mother Mo seemed impatient to wash her face. It took her a long time to extinguish the candle and get on the couch.
Shen Jiansui's tears fell down, and he felt his entire nasal cavity was burning. He landed quietly on the ground.
She first listened to the noise outside for a while, and then couldn't wait to walk to the third bookshelf closest to her, raised her hand and gently pulled out the third book from the left in the top row.
The next moment, she was seen imitating Mother Mo and raising her hand to quickly flip through the book, but suddenly she stopped.
There was a letter tucked into the open book, and the envelope was unsigned.
Shen Jiansui's hands trembled slightly as he took out the letter, but he did not forget to turn the open book upside down on the shelf to prevent Mother Mo from noticing the wrong page.
The envelope was in good condition, but it looked quite old, with slightly yellowed corners.
The mouth is open.
Shen Jiasui stretched out two fingers and picked up the letter. It was not thin, at least two sheets folded together.
The room was very dark. In order to prevent moisture, Mother Mo had probably pasted several layers of paper on the windows of the ear room, resulting in a dim light.
After Shen Jiasui unfolded the letter, he moved as close to it as possible and was able to barely make out the words on the letter.
No one knew what Shen Jiasui saw. Her eyes, which were not covered by the black cloth, suddenly widened.
At this moment, there seemed to be a surge of turbulent waves in her eyes, and it was obvious that she had seen something extremely incredible.
But after the shock, anger burned in her eyes, and her slender eyebrows were raised high in anger, and against the backdrop of the black cloth covering her face, she looked even more fierce.
Shen Jiansui's hands were shaking, but she didn't dare to crumple the letter paper hard. She tried hard to suppress her emotions, causing her chest to heave violently, and a trace of pain appeared on her face.
After reading just one letter, she understood everything.
I understood Gu Xizhi's thoughts and understood what the "evidence" of her previous life was.
At this moment, many impulsive thoughts flashed through Shen Jiasui's mind, but in the end, they all turned into a restrained and forbearing shake of the head.
She said that she was no longer the impulsive Shen Jiasui of her previous life, and she must not alert the enemy today.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui gradually restored the letter paper to its original state, stuffed it into the envelope, and then walked to the second bookshelf.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. The sound of Mother Mo's snoring, sometimes high and sometimes low, could be faintly heard outside.
Shen Jiasui stepped out of the ear room lightly and left as quietly as he came.
In the darkness outside the courtyard, the two men under Shen Zhengsheng were getting anxious.
A slight sound was heard, and they both turned their heads to look. Seeing that Shen Jiasui had returned safely, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, when they saw Shen Jiasui's red eyes in the moonlight, they were shocked.
"Miss?"
The two spoke silently.
Shen Jiasui was extremely confused at the moment. He quickly gestured to the two of them and then nodded heavily.
The two were obviously stunned for a moment, but the next moment, Shen Jiasui ran in the opposite direction of when he came and disappeared into the night.
What she meant just now was: they part ways here, and the two of them go back to report first.
Now Shen Jiasui's figure was nowhere to be seen. The two looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to obey the order and return home first.
……
Shen Jiasui was walking alone in the darkness, tears streaming down his face. But at this moment, he was not crying because of the smoke, but because he was extremely sad.
For the sad truth, and also for the tragic deaths of the entire Shen family in the previous life.
She hurried on her way and entered a courtyard with ease. That was the stealth route specially left for her by the owner of the courtyard.
When he landed, someone came to stop him: "Who are you?"
Shen Jiasui directly lifted the veil, revealing her true face.
Standing opposite was Bei Feng, whose expression had changed drastically.
"Ms. Shen!?"
"Where is your young master?" Shen Jiasui spoke while suppressing his trembling voice.
Before Bei Feng could answer, a man came quickly behind him.
When Shen Jiasui saw this figure, everything in front of him became blurry.
She rushed forward, her voice trembling as she said, "Ah Xun, I know everything. I know everything."
