Chapter 14: An Unexpected Encounter
Liu Yunxiang entered the city in the afternoon, the spring sun is warm, here is not the same goose returning to the city, in the end it is more prosperous, there are many shops on both sides, pedestrians in twos and threes.
She led the horse and looked left and right, Yuezhou has a developed fishery, and there are not many people who grow grain, Zhang Qi saw a business opportunity to open a grain shop here.
"Whose child, why don't you see his parents?"
"Ouch, this kid is so good-looking, just like the lotus boy. ”
"He seems to be looking for his mother. ”
The two aunts said as they passed by.
Liu Yunxiang followed their gaze and saw a little guy wearing a light-colored thin jacket and a cashmere hat on his head not far in front of him walking this way with his short legs.
The little guy has been walking for more than a week, and he is not walking steadily, holding a candy man in his hand, licking it and looking around.
"Mother!"
The little milk voice is very tender and light, Liu Yunxiang got closer and found that the little guy is really good-looking, with single eyelids but very godly, the tails of the eyes are slightly raised, the nose is very pretty, the mouth is not big, and the lips are pink and tender.
It's really good at home, it's fleshy, especially the milk fat on the little face, it's so cute.
Remember https://m in a second.
The little one saw her at this point, his eyes widened, and then he grinned, and his saliva flowed.
"Mother!"
He seemed to have found the target, and wanted to pounce on him, but at this time, a man in a plain shirt came out of the study next to him and picked him up.
Liu Yunxiang didn't see the man's face, only saw the back of him holding the little guy and walking forward, very thin, and it seemed that the robe on his body was too loose.
The man kissed the little guy's little face, and the little guy lay on the man's shoulder and laughed.
Liu Yunxiang retracted his gaze, then turned over and got on his horse, intending to ride forward for a while. As they passed by the father and son, they faintly heard the man's voice.
Zi said: A gentleman has nine thoughts: seeing Siming, listening to Sicong, Se Siwen, Maung Sigong, Yan Sizhong, thinking respectfully, doubting and asking, thinking about difficulty, and seeing righteousness. ”
She laughed here, the child is only so young, so he talks about the way of a gentleman, it's too early.
After walking for a while, he finally saw the signboard of Lingyun Grain Shop, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly got off the horse and hurriedly entered the store.
After the shopkeeper asked, he took her into the backyard, Xingyi was catching ants in the yard, and when he saw Liu Yunxiang, he got up and ran over.
"Mother!"
Yuezhou Post House, wash the clothes with cigarette syrup and set them up one by one. As soon as he freed his hand, he saw the little guy running over.
"Smoke, eat. ”
Jin Yan stepped forward and picked up the little guy, "Brother Yan, don't eat Yan Yan, but you can't eat too much, you will have bad teeth." ”
The little guy hurriedly opened his mouth to let Jinyan see, "It's not bad." ”
Jin Yan burst out laughing, and when he saw Lu Changan coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"My lord, Mrs. He has just come here and asked you for Lord He's body. It's a shame that you're not here, looking at her vigor, I guess I want to scratch you. ”
Lu Changan smiled, "I can't beat it, but I can hide." ”
"You are a gentleman and don't do anything with women. ”
"I'm really scared of her. ”
Lu Changan touched his nose, the last time he went to He's house to search, this Mrs. He didn't let the official send her husband's relics, he went up to persuade him, and she pushed him on, so scared that he almost hid in a tree.
He Ziyue, the Yuezhou Mansion, was killed at home, and the imperial court attached great importance to it, and he, as the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion, was specially ordered to supervise the case.
But it's been five days since I came here, and I still don't have a clue, this day is getting warmer and warmer, He Ziyue's body is beginning to decompose, and it should indeed be returned to the He family.
At this time, his subordinate Chen Heng came over, and Lu Changan asked him to inform the He family that he could go to the mansion to collect the body. But as soon as Chen Heng left, he felt that it was inappropriate.
"No, I have to have the body examined again before the He family. ”
The more He Zi was killed by someone with a knife, it stands to reason that there is nothing to test, but he always feels that something is wrong.
Here Liu Yunxiang and Qu Moran converged, it turned out that Zijin was injured at that time, and Qu Moran could only take her away first. Although there were some twists and turns, the good thing is that everyone is fine.
Liu Yunxiang held Xingyi in one hand and pointed on the map with the other, "The waterway is faster and safer than the land route, we will go south along the Grand Canal from Yuezhou, get off the boat on the Xiangzhou side, and then walk a short distance southwest to Yaowang Valley." Pick up Jinyan and Xingzhi in Yaowang Valley, take a break for a while, and then consider whether to continue to the south or west. ”
Qu Moran nodded, "Anyway, I'll follow you, I'll go wherever you go." ”
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "But if we leave Darong, we may not come back for the rest of our lives." ”
Qu Moran stroked his lower abdomen, "Except for Master and Old Man Qu, I don't have anything else to worry about." ”
Liu Yunxiang saw that his son was heartfelt, and urged him to set off the next day.
The shopkeeper helped them connect with the merchant ship and took them all the way to the ferry. While waiting for the merchant ship to load, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to go to the street to buy some dim sum so that Xingyi could eat it on the road.
Although it is spring, it is still warm and cold at first, and it is quite cold today.
Liu Yunxiang made a small cloak for Xingyi, and wrapped her tightly at the moment, only revealing her small face.
The little girl was curious everywhere, staring around with big eyes.
"Big ship, good-looking. The little girl pointed to a place to show Liu Yunxiang.
Liu Yunxiang looked over and saw that it was a painting boat, hung with red silk and lanterns, which was indeed beautiful. She retracted her gaze, and was thinking about going over to talk to the owner of the caravan, after all, if you want to take someone else's ship, you have to have a good relationship.
At this time, Qu Moran next to him exclaimed: "Someone fell into the lake!"
Liu Yunxiang hurriedly looked over and saw that a man was really splashing in the water, obviously not able to swim. The people on the boat looked panicked, but no one jumped down to save them.
The guys in the caravan here didn't see it, Xu didn't pay attention to it, in short, everyone was busy moving goods, and no one went to save people.
Seeing this, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly dyed Qu Mo's intentions, and then hurriedly ran over.
Running over there, she took off her coat and ran a few steps and jumped into the water. She could swim, but the water was too cold, and after getting used to it, she swam towards the man.
From her angle, she could only see the white clothes floating on the water, occasionally popping out a head, but it was floating and heavy, as if even the strength to struggle was about to be gone.
When Liu Yunxiang passed, she couldn't even see the white clothes, so she could only take a deep breath and dip under the surface of the water to look for it.
Seeing that the white robe was sinking, she swam with all her might, dragged the man behind her, first out of the water, and then swam to the shore.
Qu Moran found a bamboo pole, and when she swam close to grab it, she soon reached the shore, but it took a lot of effort to drag the man up.
Liu Yunxiang couldn't take a breath, and hurriedly turned the man over, wanting to see if he was still saved, but was taken aback when he saw the man's face.
"Lu Chang'an!"
Qu Moran was also taken aback when he saw that it was Lu Changan, but when he looked at him motionlessly, he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "He seems to have no breath, will he have ......?"
