Chapter 892： 892, Master Xiao is sleepwalking again

Su's Villa.

Jiang Yi was sitting on the sofa in the bedroom, thinking, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside.

She immediately got up and went out.

Sure enough, Su Yanyan was wearing a **** pink dress and was about to go downstairs.

"Yanyan, where are you going again?" Jiang Yi asked hurriedly.

"Go and meet friends."

Jiang Yi said, "Today you are celebrating your birthday. Don't go out. Mom will take you out to buy gifts. In the evening, celebrate with your dad and grandpa..."

"I'm so old, what are you celebrating? Just give me a red envelope. Besides, I have a friend to ask me today and I don't need you." Su Yanyan said, she quickly went downstairs.

Jiang Yi stood there, frowning.

After a while, she hesitantly took out her mobile phone and dialed Su Yuntang's number.

After the bell rang for a few times, it was connected, and the man's indifferent voice came, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Yi asked patiently, "Aren't the stations busy today?"

"What's wrong?" Su Yuntang asked.

"Have you forgotten? Today is Yeonyan's 19th birthday."

"...Really?" Su Yuntang really forgot. "Recently, I have been too busy at work and didn't pay attention to the date."

Jiang Yi said, "It's okay, you come back early in the afternoon, and our family will go out to eat and celebrate."

"Just eat at home," Su Yuntang said like this.

"Today is Friday, and there is no need to get up early to work tomorrow. Besides, how long has our family not gone out to eat together? Or are you socializing again at night?"

"..." Su Yuntang was silent for a while, and then said, "Okay, you decide the place, then I will go directly."

"Okay, then I won't interrupt your work, goodbye."

"Wait a minute." Su Yuntang suddenly called to her.

Jiang Yi asked, "What's wrong?"

"Did anyone go to the house to deliver something today?"

Hearing this question, Jiang Yi said, "Yes, it's a waiter in a club, saying that your things were left with them, and they just delivered it."

"In that case, you can help me collect it first."

"Okay." Jiang Yi said quickly, "Who gave you this? I took a look, this pen seems to be quite expensive."

"A friend." Su Yuntang said lightly, "Okay, I have something to work on here, so hang up first."

"……Great."

The phone was hung up.

Jiang Yi sat there, but a mocking smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Su Yuntang, are you lying to me about Yan Jin now?

**

In the afternoon, when Su Yuntang received a WeChat message from Jiang Yi, he was a little stunned.

Soon, Jiang Yi's call came, "Husband, have you received my message?"

Su Yuntang said, "I have received it."

"That's good, you never reply to me, thinking you are busy again. I booked the six o'clock in the evening box of this club. You can go directly from the TV station after get off work, and I will ask the driver to take us there."

Su Yuntang frowned, "Why are you going to this place?"

"Do you think it's too expensive?" Jiang Yi said with a smile, "Yanyan only celebrates her birthday once a year. I was thinking about finding a better place to have a good meal with the whole family. I didn't know where to go. I happened to see the business card left by the waiter in the morning. I checked it and found that this club has a high score online, the environment is good, and the box design is private, which is suitable for family gatherings, so I ordered this one. "

"It's just a family meal. As for going to the clubhouse?"

"But I have already booked the box. It is difficult to determine the location of this place..."

Su Yuntang: "..."

After a few seconds, he still compromised, "All right."

**

At six o'clock in the evening, Su Yuntang came to the box of the clubhouse on time, only to find that Jiang Yi was alone.

"Where are Dad and Yeonyan?"

"Dad said it was too hot and didn't want to come out to toss. Yanyan spent a day outside today and drank a lot of wine when she went home in the afternoon. She was not awake when she went out just now."

Su Yuntang: "..."

"I think the time is approaching, and I thought that the two of us hadn't come out to eat alone for a long time, so we did not leave the box."

When everything was up to this point, Su Yuntang had nothing to say, so he could only sit down.

The waiter came in quickly to serve the dishes.

The per capita consumption level of this private club is not low, the chefs are also famous chefs, and the dishes are exquisite and delicious.

But the two of them ate very quietly, except for the sound of knives and forks intertwining, and the box was so peaceful.

When the waiter came in and brought desserts, Jiang Yi looked up at her husband opposite, "Yuntang."

Su Yuntang raised his head, "What's the matter?"

"Last night, which box were you and your friend in?"

Su Yuntang's expression changed slightly, and he replied, "The opposite room."

"It seems that the scenery is better over there, you can see the back garden of the clubhouse, but here it is not good, you can only see the road." Jiang Yi seemed to be talking to herself, "No wonder the waiter told me this when booking. The box on the side is slightly cheaper. The opposite is the SVIP box here. You must have the SVIP gold card here to book..."

Su Yuntang drank the red wine and didn't care until...

"It happens that Mrs. Zhou and the others are going to have a party tomorrow. I think the environment here is really good, Yuntang, please give me your friend's contact information. I want to ask him to borrow the SVIP card here."

Su Yuntang frowned, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Yi smiled unchanged, "This time it's my turn to provide the address, so I think..."

"How many times have I told you that you and those women are not in the same circle at all. You squeeze in abruptly and swell your face every time to fill up your fat. Is it interesting?"

Jiang Yi looked at him, her smile gradually stiffened, "Do you think I want to make a swollen face to fill a fat man? Do you think I like to be plastic sisters with them? Do you think I do this for myself? I am not for you. For this family! The biggest advertiser of your TV station is Mrs. Zhou’s husband. Over the years, if I hadn’t maintained the relationship with her behind the scenes, do you think Zhou’s family would have been advertising for several years..."

"I don't need you to do this." Su Yuntang stood up directly, "Without the Zhou family, there will be other companies. The TV station doesn't need you like this..."

"After all, you just don't want to find a friend to borrow a card, right?"

Su Yuntang frowned, "I just don't need you to do these things, and you don't need to maintain a relationship with them..."

"But this time it has been set." Jiang Yi said in a compelling tone. "It's just borrowing your friend's name to reserve a box. Is it so difficult?"

Su Yuntang looked at her, his jaws biting together tightly.

"If you are embarrassed, you call him and I will speak in person."

Since getting married, Jiang Yi has married and taught daughters at home.

Su Yuntang is a masculine man, and he advocates male dominance, and Jiang Yi always obeys him.

Twenty years of marriage, the husband and wife have always treated each other as guests. She listened to his opinions as soon as she encountered something. This was the first time that she had such a sudden and tough attitude...

Su Yuntang was a little irritable, and his face was not good-looking, "I can't afford to lose this person!"

Jiang Yi did not speak.

Su Yuntang thought she knew she was wrong, so he picked up the red wine glass and was about to drink.

"Heh." Jiang Yi suddenly smiled slightly, "Your friend... is Yan Shunhua."

Su Yuntang's expression changed.

The red liquid in the cup shook violently.

Jiang Yi bowed his head and took the handbag, "This is a gift from her, I brought you here by the way."

When he saw the purple box, Su Yuntang put down the red wine glass, his face was cold.

"Don't you open it and take a look?" Jiang Yi passed the box.

Su Yuntang did not speak, nor did he reach out.

So Jiang Yi personally opened the box and picked up the exquisite diamond-encrusted fountain pen. "European Simple brand high-end custom fountain pen, elegant and exquisite design, and luxurious diamond embellishment, make a pen can also become a successful man's luxury. ..."

Su Yuntang finally spoke, "How do you know she gave it to you?"

"If you want people to know, you can't do it yourself."

Su Yuntang sighed, as if to explain, "The TV station recently talked to her about cooperation. We only met yesterday, and we only wanted to ask what happened back then..."

"What then?" Jiang Yi interrupted, "Do you want to know why she didn't die? Or do you want to ask why she betrayed you?"

Speaking of "betrayal", Su Yuntang's expression just relaxed suddenly became a little cold.

"Why did she want to give you this?" Jiang Yi insisted. "Hundreds of thousands of renminbi pens, just give it away? What does she want to do?"

"how could I know?"

"What did you do last night?"

After going back and forth, Su Yuntang was a little unhappy.

His face sank and he got up from his chair, "I think you don't want to eat today. If so, why waste money here."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Jiang Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and chased after him.

When she got outside, she finally grabbed the man, "Yuntang, I was wrong, don't be angry."

Where is Jiang Yi at this moment as aggressive as before?

"I know that when Yan Jin did such a shameful thing, you hated her before it was too late, how could there be anything with her... I was careful, Yuntang, that was because I loved you too much, you didn’t have it yesterday. Tell me, in the morning, the waiter said that the gift was given to you by Ms. Yan. I thought of you at that time... You know, I can’t hide my words, but I really didn’t mean to question you. I want to help you too."

Looking at Su Yutang's expressionless face, Jiang Yi continued, "She was responsible for the incident back then. The reason for feigning death was probably because she had no face to come back. After all, that incident was too embarrassing, otherwise she would not change her name. Yuntang , I was wrong, I was really just worried about whether she came back to hook you on purpose, I'm afraid your old love will rekindle..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Yuntang retorted, "She was in bed with other men while she was pregnant with Houhou. I saw this with my own eyes. How could I forgive her? What old feelings do I have for her?"

"I know." Jiang Yi pulled him, Chu Chu pitifully, "I feel at ease for you, but I'm afraid she won't give up. After all, you are now the director of the station, and she was sorry for you back then, she might want to make up for you, so I asked you to meet and gave you a gift..."

"She was married a long time ago and has a daughter. We all have our own families now, can you not think about it." After that, Su Yuntang said again, "She didn't come here at all yesterday, as for this pen. ...I will find a chance to return it to her."

"Good." Jiang Yi nodded hurriedly.

**

the next day.

During breakfast, a courier came to the house.

In front of Jiang Yi, Su Yuntang asked the courier brother to take away the gift box, and the delivery address was Yan Shunhua's company address.

The next two days of weekends were calm and calm.

When the new week arrived, Su Yuntang would go to get off work on time every day, and Jiang Yi slowly let go of her heart.

--split line--

"Chairman."

In the living room, Yan Shunhua recovered.

"This is the dress you participated in designing before. The designer took the time to make it and send it over. Let's go through it first." Mary said with a smile.

The designer and staff stood aside and opened the mobile wardrobe.

Hanging inside is a beautiful starry sky dress with suspenders style and layered skirts, but because the fabric is light and thin, it gives people an elegant feeling of dust.

Yan Shunhua walked to the front with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

The staff next to it asked, "Do you need to try it on? If you find the wrong size, you can modify it."

"No need." Yan Shunhua said.

The staff found it strange.

After all, looking at Yan Shunhua's body size... it seems a little bit different from this dress.

Is it for someone else?

It must be.

The style of this dress is relatively young...

When Mary left with the designer and staff, Yan Shunhua still stood there looking at the dress until the little girl’s voice sounded...

"so beautiful!"

Wendy ran out of the room and looked at this beautiful dress with wide eyes.

Yan Shunhua asked with a smile, "Wendy, do you think this dress is beautiful too?"

"Hmm!" Wendy nodded vigorously, and subconsciously reached out to touch...

"do not move!"

Wendy was so scared that her little hand stayed in the air.

Yan Shunhua walked over and pulled her hand back, "Wendy, this dress is for your sister. You can't touch it, you know?"

Wendy nodded seemingly.

She can't touch her sister's things...

Yan Shunhua took out several photos with his mobile phone, and then sent a message.

Soon, Huo Jingshen called.

"... In the past twenty years, I have not been by Houhou's side, nor have I celebrated her birthday with her. I really want to give this dress to her and watch her wear it on her birthday... She didn't know it was from me, and I don't care."

Huo Jingshen said, "In that case, you can give it to her directly."

"But she doesn't want to see me at all..." Yan Shunhua said, "A Shen, you can give her the skirt for me, just say you bought it..."

"What she hates more is cheating."

In a word, Yan Shunhua was speechless.

"You haven't been to the studio these days?" Huo Jingshen suddenly changed the subject.

Yan Shunhua said, "Wendy is here. I really don't worry about leaving her alone in the villa. I haven't been to the crew for these two days. It just so happened that the main plot was almost finished. The rest are shooting, assistant director and photographer. Communication shooting is almost complete."

"In that case," Huo Jingshen said, "Axiu's wedding will be at the beginning of next month. You can come with Mr. Gu."

"Good." Yan Shunhua understood what he meant. "Thank you, Ah Shen."

"Don't thank me." Huo Jingshen said, "I just don't want her to be like you, with regrets in my heart."

"what do you mean?"

"I'm socializing now." Huo Jingshen was unwilling to talk more, "you should rest earlier."

"……Great."

**

On the corridor of a business club.

Huo Jingshen hung up and was about to return to the box.

"Jason."

Hearing this familiar voice, Huo Jingshen stopped and then turned around.

The woman standing in the corridor is Dong Manjiao.

She was still dressed in hot and hot, her red lips were delicate and her smile was eye-catching.

Huo Jing narrowed his eyes, "When did you come to Nancheng?"

Dong Man smiled, "After knowing that Fu Xihan brought your sister to Nancheng, I followed."

She slowly approached, "They live in the same community as you, and they have a five-year-old son. It turns out that the little guy is your sister and Fu Xihan's son, that is..."

She thought for a while, "In Chinese terms, is that little guy your nephew?"

Huo Jingshen's expression was flat, "This is not where you should be, I advise you to go back as soon as possible."

"I really didn't expect that your little wife would forgive you. It seems that she is even simpler than I thought, or... is she just acting stupid? After all, with your appearance and conditions, she can be seen She burned the high incense for eight lifetimes..."

Huo Jingshen glanced at two bodyguards wearing black clothes not far away, his eyes retracted, his expression still calm and indifferent, "Manjiao, I said you have two choices, either continue to be friends with me, or do... enemy."

"But I don't want to do it." Dong Manjiao said, her body was close, her gorgeous eyes flowed in style, and she whispered ambiguously, "I just want to be your woman..."

Huo Jingshen stepped back and turned around quickly before she reached her.

Dong Man Jiao called, "Don't think that in Nancheng, I can't do it!"

Without looking back, the man entered the box directly.

Dong Manjiao stood in the corridor, her face tense.

Then she said, "Nineteen."

The bodyguard who called Nineteen came to the front immediately, respectfully, "What's your order, Missy?"

"According to the plan, please trouble Fu Qi first."

"Received." The bodyguard quickly led away.

Dong Manjiao's red lips raised.

Jason, do you really think I dare not touch Su Hwang?

I just don't want to break this harmony between us for the time being.

But I always have to provoke a little movement before letting you know... This time I'm really serious.

**

Huo Jingshen's entertainment was over. When he returned home, Su Hunhou was taking a bath.

The crystal lights are shining, variety shows are playing on the TV, KO is squatting on the carpet, and the dog's eyes are still watching the TV screen.

Hearing the door opening, he immediately got up from the carpet and yelled at him.

Huo Jing squinted his black eyes, "Get out."

The dog took a step back, but did not go out.

Huo Jingshen walked to the closet, raised his hand, first slowly unbuttoned his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and unbuttoned his neckline.

Finally, he untied the belt on his waist, turned around, and pulled both sides in the air.

"Wow!"

KO only yelled and ran out with his tail in terror.

Huo Jingshen closed the door and locked it.

So when Su Hun Hun came out wrapped in a bath towel, he blinked, "When did you come back?"

I heard the dog barking outside just now, and thought KO was making trouble again...

Huo Jingshen walked up to him, reached out and hugged her, "Baby kiss."

Su Huhou pushed him desperately, "It's so stinky, it's all alcohol!"

"Just drank a little."

Recently, there has been a lot of entertainment in the company. I don't know how many times it is the first time I came back late.

Su Houhou glared at him, "I know socializing all day long, saying, is it a man or a woman who is drinking tonight?"

"male."

Su Houhui suddenly moved his face over, carefully, sniffing back and forth on him like a puppy.

Huo Jingshen: "..."

really.

"It smells like a woman's perfume!" Su Houhou felt like Sherlock Holmes!

I didn't really check the posts like this before, but for the first time on a whim today, she actually smelled the perfume!

Huo Jingshen had no choice but to say, "I guess he didn't pay attention to it."

"Hehe, can you get infected if you don't let a woman come close?" Su Huhou didn't believe it.

"Yeah." Huo Jingshen nodded, "There is indeed a woman who wants to plot against me..."

Su Houhou: "..."

"But my husband promised that she didn't let her come close, let alone contact." Huo Jingshen said this frankly, without any guilty conscience.

He has indeed performed well all the time, with almost no scandals.

Moreover, men socialize and drink. Generally, there will be women on such occasions. Even if Huo Jingshen is clean and innocent, it is difficult to guarantee that other men will not bring women with him.

"All right." Su Houhou is not the kind of unreasonable woman who makes trouble. "In the future, why don't you socialize less and make so much money? Just spend enough."

"Baby, this is for my husband"

Su Hou Hou said, "Quickly go in and take a bath, it's so stinking! Don't even think about getting into my bed if you don't wash it." He turned around after speaking, but his hands were caught.

"together."

Su Houhou was speechless, "I have finished washing, you wash yourself."

Huo Jingshen directly reached out and hugged her whole body, "Then help her husband press her shoulders."

"I don't want to press your sister..." Su Houhou struggled desperately.

Inadvertently, the knot of the tied bath towel loosened.

Huo Jing's eyes deepened.

Su Huhou hurriedly tugged at the bath towel, "Smelly hooligan! Did you deliberately?"

What entertainment?

What to drink?

Obviously, it is deliberately to stop drinking and pretend to be crazy, so as to do ridiculous things!

In the past few days and nights, she has been tossed by him almost every day, and she is always playing tricks on not wearing Tao, it is simply...

Su Huhou gritted his teeth.

Fortunately, she will go to work for Gu in a few days, and she will not spend much time at home in the future.

Fortunately, fortunately, wouldn't it be that he was being pulled to do that kind of thing every day.

I heard that condoms are not 100% safe, and with his frequency, sooner or later something will happen...

Su Hunhou was thinking about it, and when he recovered, he found that he had been taken into the bathroom.

No way, the enemy is too strong...

**

Someone who is satisfied after a meal seems to be more gentle and patient.

Huo Jingshen hugged her and returned to the big bed in the bedroom after she finished bathing again.

All the lights were turned off, only one projection lamp was left in front of the TV cabinet.

Projected on the ceiling above the head, there is a blue starry sky-like pattern, which changes slowly with the projection...

Quiet and tranquil.

Huo Jingshen looked at it, "When did you buy this?"

Su Huhou was almost asleep, so he raised his head when he heard this.

As a result, the eyes are red.

Huo Jingshen didn't hear the sound, and looked down at her, "Why are you crying so well?"

Actually it's not crying.

It's just a small mouth, red eyes, aggrieved and pitiful... a pitiful look.

Hearing the voice, he looked at him angrily, "This is the only one given to me."

Huo Jingshen: "..."

Ok.

He talks too much, so he shouldn't mention it.

There will be no more messy and strange things in the house in the future!

But it was too late.

"Didn't you ask my friend to check the only whereabouts for me? Did you check it? How did it go? It's been more than a month, is your friend okay?"

Huo Jing coughed deeply, "Fu Xihan's men are investigating."

"He?" Su Hunyu narrowed his mouth, "If he can't do it, you can change someone. You won't be the only friend, right?"

Huo Jingshen said, "Don't worry, you have a lot of connections, and now that there is no news is good news."

Su Hunhui is a journalism and communication, so he understands the truth of this sentence, but...

"The only time I grew up, I almost never travelled far away. I remember one time. It seemed that I was only 14 years old. I went to Seattle to find Xiao Yebai by myself... I only found out at that time. I was really almost caught by her. She was scared to death, but apart from that time, she really hadn't been far away, and even if she went, she was always with Xiao Yebai..."

"This time it is with the bodyguard, so you can rest assured."

Su Houhou: "..."

How can you rest assured?

Huo Jingshen explained, “This Rong An is not an ordinary bodyguard, he is a computer expert and a well-known hacker in the world, so every time he finds his whereabouts, the information will be quickly erased.”

This is also the reason why Xiao Yebai has been unable to find their whereabouts.

Of course, apart from that, Huo Jingshen always felt that there were others helping Mo only.

Because the previous message sent by Fu Xihan was that Mo You and Rong An didn’t seem to use their real names...

"So the only thing I don't want us to find out is?" Su Houhou asked.

"It's not that I don't want you to find it, but I don't want Xiao Yebai to find it."

Hearing these words, Su Xuxun pursed his lips, "The only one is gone now, Xiao Yebai is probably so happy, how could he still go to her?"

Huo Jing squinted deeply, "Really?"

"Of course!" Su Houhou plausibly said, "No one will pester him to do this and that all day long, and the only thing that has exposed his identity as the son of the Mo family. You never watch TV and say he is Is the youngest business upstart in Nancheng? I am proud of the spring breeze every day, and there will probably be other women soon..."

Hearing this, Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows and did not express his opinion.

As for someone they discussed...

"Master Xiao, it's late, it's time to rest."

At the Lishui Bay Villa, Aunt Zhou couldn't help but remind.

After Xiao Yebai came back from the brightly lit living room, he sat on the sofa and watched TV.

It's still a very noisy Korean drama...

Aunt Zhou remembered, this seemed to be the little princess’s favorite drama before, called 1988.

But Young Master Xiao never knows how to watch a drama. He goes out early every day and returns late every day. Even if he goes home, he still goes to the study and busy with work. Why did he suddenly watch this tonight?

Forget it, I actually saw that now, it's almost twelve o'clock...

"Young Master Xiao?" Aunt Zhou couldn't help but speak again, "You should rest, it's twelve o'clock..."

"I see." Xiao Yebai interrupted her and got upstairs.

Aunt Zhou didn't think too much, she used to turn off the TV, then turn off the lights, and went back to the house to sleep.

**

On the stairs, Xiao Yebai slowly walked up the second floor without squinting his eyes.

Without turning on the lights, the TV downstairs was quickly turned off, and the surroundings were completely quiet.

In the dim vision, Xiao Yebai walked slowly to the master bedroom with slippers, opened the door, walked in, and then fell heavily into the mattress.

He lowered his head, turned his body sideways, and slowly pressed the tip of his nose against the mattress.

The familiar smell was sucked into the nasal cavity, and the inner noise seemed to be slowly returning to calm.

...

I don't know how long it took, and my closed eyes suddenly opened.

Entrance is the darkness of the room.

After a few seconds of emotional fluctuations, Xiao Yebai quickly stretched out his hand to touch the bedside habitually, trying to find the phone.

But I felt empty.

He sat up from the bed, and then reached out to turn on the lamp on the bedside table.

The time display on the alarm clock: It is two o'clock in the morning.

Then he remembered that the phone seemed to be placed on the sofa in the living room downstairs, and he forgot to take it when he came up just now.

Xiao Yebai got up and went downstairs.

...

Aunt Zhou slept in a daze when she suddenly heard movement outside.

People get old and sleep lightly.

In addition, she had had this experience many times, so she was not surprised, but quickly got up and got out of bed.

Sure enough, when Aunt Zhou came to the living room with his clothes on, he saw Xiao Yebai sitting on the sofa. The drawers under the coffee table were all pulled open. He was looking for something.

"Young Master Xiao?"

Hearing the sound, Xiao Yebai's movements stopped instantly.

"Master Xiao, what are you looking for?" Aunt Zhou asked.

Xiao Yebai retracted his fingers and stood up, then he slowly turned his head and looked at her.

A pair of beautiful peach eyes are dark, deep, but indifferent.

"..." Aunt Zhou just looked at him like that, but didn't speak.

A few seconds later, Xiao Yebai raised his foot upstairs.

Aunt Zhou shook her head.

It seems Master Xiao is sleepwalking again...

In fact, this situation has not been seen before.

When she was first transferred here to help, there was a conflict between Young Master Xiao and the little princess. At that time, the little princess lost her temper and moved to the school to live in a dormitory. As a result, Young Master Xiao fell asleep that night and was met by her.

The first time, Aunt Zhou was a little scared.

Because I heard that people who sleepwalking are unconscious and may do terrible things that they can’t do in ordinary days...

But now, Aunt Zhou is used to it...

As long as there is no harm, Young Master Xiao loves sleepwalking and sleepwalking, because except for sleepwalking and occasional daze, Young Master Xiao's other behaviors are quite normal.

Especially during the day, he would get up on time every day as usual, eat the breakfast she made, and then go to work at the company...

Regular and dedicated!

Suddenly there was another sound of footsteps.

Aunt Zhou looked back and saw Xiao Yebai coming downstairs again. He walked to the sofa, looked at it, and then picked up the phone.

Aunt Zhou: "..."

When the man went upstairs with the phone again, she walked over, stuffed the opened drawer, and cleaned up all the messy things on it, then turned and went back to the house.
