107 Dry Wells
When they returned to the village, it was already the dawn of the morning, and the group walked along the path along the tall and low houses to Lai Rengui's house.
There was no smoke curling from the cooking, no chickens and dogs crowing, there was a dead silence, and occasionally a bony little face stretched out from behind the broken fence, and I felt my gaze retract like a rabbit.
As soon as he stepped into the fence door, the wind slashed in front of him, and he swept away his sleeves, and the other party was unwilling, and turned around and attacked You Xue, hitting his chest directly.
You Xue squinted and smiled, jumped up and crossed the man, and with a light send, Yuan Ziyue was caught off guard and pounced forward, almost knocking down Qingyang, who had just entered the door, before standing firmly.
She brushed her sleeves and turned around, and said hatefully: "Nanxing! You dare to hurt your father-in-law, do you know that his old man is still lying on the bed and can't move?"
"Dr. Wang should have checked the pulse of his father-in-law, and should be happy to know that he was finally forced out of his body by me with a mouthful of blood. ”
"You ......" Yuan Ziyue was blocked and didn't know what to say, this woman was really cold-blooded, but she couldn't hate it, "When did you know that your father-in-law had a secret disease?"
"I saw it at the first meeting, rest assured, it's good to take care of it. You Xue smiled, who told the old man to do a thing in front of her and behind her back, she didn't know how much to hide from her, and it was good to take a lesson, so she looked at Qingyang: "How is the child?"
Naturally, it refers to Lai Rengui's youngest daughter.
Qingyang's face was a little ugly, those dirty things must be that the prince would not let the Nanxing girl know, but the little girl was seriously injured, and finally the Nanxing girl went to heal, and he would also know how much the little girl had suffered, he just wanted to kill all those scum, but the prince had an order, and he could act quietly without blood, so as to avoid causing a big disturbance, so he looked at his own prince.
"She's overly frightened, just rested, you'll have to go and see it in a while, I'm not good at medicine. Yuan Ziyue was the first to speak.
You Xue nodded, got up and looked around at the shabby and dilapidated scene of the village chief's house, not even a kettle, and she was already hungry in her stomach, thinking of being hungry, she suddenly remembered the group of children who were imprisoned by Wuhuan in the cave before, and she told Zhen Yunze about it.
Yuan Ziyue laughed: "I said that my tracking skills are very invincible, and after you were taken away by Wuhuan, King Rui sent someone to rescue those children." ”
"So, you always know my whereabouts?" You Xue was not angry, she had already signaled them to stay quiet, but she didn't expect all of Wu Huan's movements to be known to them, so did Yun Ze know where Wu Huan sent those children?
Zhen Yunze glanced at You Xue thoughtfully, and instructed his subordinates: "Ye Lao next door is quite grateful to the two of you, why don't you buy some food and use their stove fire to make some food?"
You Xue raised her hands in agreement, and Yuan Ziyue said that she would make a fire, so the responsibility of buying food was handed over to those guards.
Lai Rengui's mansion has two courtyards, and the little girl is placed in the main house in the front yard for easy care.
You Xue walked into the side room, there was a table and a chair in the room, a kang head, and a little girl with a yellow and thin face was lying on it, covered with the cloak of those black-clothed guards, obviously this family didn't even have a quilt.
Lifting the corner of the cloak slightly, the little girl seemed to be just sleeping lightly, suddenly opened a pair of dark and godless eyes, stared straight at You Xue, and her thin little hands like chicken claws grabbed both sides of the cloak.
But You Xue had already seen the situation under the cloak, her heart sank, and she withdrew her trembling fingertips: "Little sister, are you hungry?"
The little girl pursed her bloodless lips and looked at her expressionlessly.
You Xue got up, thought for a while and said, "Your father is very worried about you, so I begged my brothers to rescue you, my sister is a doctor, and it was your father who invited me to come and see you." ”
"I'm not sick, I want to see Daddy. The little girl finally let go and spoke.
You Xue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and smiled slightly: "Do you want to dress up refreshingly and beautifully to see your father?"
The little girl's dark eyes lit up, and her hand clutching the edge of the cloak tightened and loosened, biting her lip and saying nothing.
You Xue was not reluctant, she stepped forward and tentatively touched her forehead, and said softly: "Then you wait obediently, my sister will go to boil water first, and I will bathe you later." ”
Walking out of the house, Yuan Ziyue raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Aren't you afraid that she won't find her father and hate you for lying to her?"
"When a ten-year-old child is a ten-year-old, he has to face the reality and solve the current problem before facing it. You Xue looked at her, "What were you like when you were ten years old?"
"I forgot. Yuan Ziyue shook her head.
"How good! I wish she would have thought the same when she was your age. You Xue smiled, "Does she hate me for what to do with me, just do what she has to do." ”
"Hmph, hypocrisy!" Yuan Ziyue crossed her arms and looked at her obliquely.
You Xue grinned: "Then help make a fire, this dilapidated house, there is always a stove, right?"
Yuan Ziyue reluctantly turned around and greeted Qingyang, who was stepping out of the main house, "Hey, who is that, help chop wood!"
"Hey, sister!" a teenager's voice came from the low wall.
You Xue turned her head to see that it was Ye Li, she thought about it for a while, and said in surprise: "Are you Ye Lao's son?"
Ye Li touched the back of his head and smiled: "Thank you!"
You Xuewaner, "I didn't do anything, I wasn't the one who saved you." But it's good for you to go home safely, take good care of your parents, and don't be willful. ”
Ye Li pursed his lips when he heard this, and disappeared from the low wall with a whoosh.
Eh, no matter what era teenagers are so rebellious, You Xue shook her head.
"Hey," the boy poked his head out again, "my father and mother told you to come to dinner later." As he spoke, he bared his teeth and grimaced at her, and disappeared again.
Zhen Yunze walked out of the main room, and saw You Xue smiling beautifully at the low wall, although he didn't know what she was smiling happily at, he stood quietly for a while, and his heart was also happy, seeing her look back, he smiled slightly, and stepped forward and said, "There is a discovery." ”
There is a patio between the two courtyards of the mansion, and there may have been many flowers and saplings planted, but they have withered because no one took care of them. There is a well under a large banyan tree on the left.
The black-clothed guard was dragging the hemp rope upward, and when You Xue and Zhen Yunze approached, they saw that what they had fished up was only half a loose wooden barrel.
"The well is dry, do you suspect that the tunnel extends from here?"
"Let's go down and find out. As he spoke, he was about to jump down, but the black-clothed guards hurriedly stopped him.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates will go down to investigate first. ”
You Xue didn't think so, because of such an obvious and easy-to-see entrance, it was impossible for the people of the Zeng family not to find it, and they should have also come to check it.
She thought that it was impossible for Zhen Yunze not to think of it.
"You are here to watch. Zhen Yunze commanded coldly.
You Xue took out two red pills from her purse and handed them to Zhen Yunze: "That, swallow this first." ”
Under the vigilant gaze of the black-clothed guard, Zhen Yunze took it and swallowed it, and then asked, "What is this?"
"Antidote pills. ”
She threw another into her mouth and jumped into the well first.
Zhen Yunze couldn't hold her, and hurriedly jumped into the well.
A few of the guards who remained at the well looked at each other anxiously, leaving four men to guard them, and two of them jumped into the well.
As soon as she landed, she felt that her feet were muddy, she stepped a few steps deep and shallow feet, and saw that there were two half-person-high holes on the left and right, and heard the sound of landing not far behind her, she turned around and was about to say to Yunze, but unexpectedly her feet slipped, and the person fell backwards, she has always had a habit of cleanliness, and she didn't want to fall on all fours in such a dirty place, so she subconsciously grabbed it to the side, pulled a dead vine, and felt that her feet were empty, and before she could ...... her exclamation, the whole person slipped into it.
Zhen Yunze didn't expect that the top of the well seemed to be small, and there was a lot of Qiankun below, but it was too dark, and You Xue's figure flashed where the light was not in sight, "You Xue!
Zhen Yunze took a few steps forward in the direction of You Xue, and also saw the half-human-high hole, he also got into it regardless of the dirt and low body, and the two guards who arrived behind him exclaimed: "Lord Wang!"
Just when the two of them were about to follow the drilling, Zhen Yunze had already crawled out of his hair in a bun, extremely embarrassed, and said to the two: "It's a dead end." ”
The two turned and went into another hole, and when they came out, they were also covered in mud.
Kneeling on the ground and pleading: "Lord, this road is not passable." ”
He didn't give up patting the muddy and sticky moss wall of the well, not letting go of every crevice, but he found nothing.
He was so anxious that he slammed his fist on the stone wall and said coldly: "That kid must know where the entrance is!"
In the partial room, Yuan Ziyue finally learned You Xue's routine, coaxed the little girl to scrub her body, bandaged her wounds, and was holding half a bowl of coarse batter from the old man Ye Gu to coax the little girl to drink, and secretly scolded You Xue in her heart for knowing how to play tricks, and when she said all the good things, she turned around and saw no one.
Unexpectedly, before it stopped, the fragile wooden door was pushed open violently, and half collapsed in an instant.
The little girl overturned the bowl in Yuan Ziyue's hand in a panic, and hid in the bed in fright, looking at the person with trembling knees.
"Lord Rui, what's wrong?" Yuan Ziyue was also taken aback, pulled her sleeve to wipe off the coarse batter that spilled on the back of her hand, and frowned and asked.
"Where is the entrance to the tunnel in your house?" asked Yun Ze coldly, staring at the child cowering in the corner.
The little girl buried her head in the crook of her arm, biting her lip and saying nothing.
Yuan Ziyue couldn't bear it, and was about to ask again, when she saw Qingyang walking in with a sword and a few people to say: "Master, I have searched it all, but I can't find it." ”
Zhen Yunze clenched into a fist, stepped forward a few steps, and held back, it was just a little girl in front of him, he shouldn't be impatient, he must have ignored something?
He took a few deep breaths to calm his anxious emotions, he knew that it was a taboo, but it seemed that as long as it was about that person, whether it was her disaster a few years ago, or since the day of the reunion, as long as it was about her, it would always make him lose his mind.
Yuan Ziyue frowned, she didn't dare to provoke this uncle, so she could only move to Yue Qingyang: "What about Nanxing?"
Qingyang Qingjun's eyebrows and eyes were very sad, "It's gone again!" He thought in his heart, this is really not good, the master is more and more concerned, but if he continues like this, he doesn't dare to think about what the consequences will be.
