Lei Yiming slept on the sofa until midnight, woke up from freezing, reluctantly got up and moved upstairs, and rolled to Niu'er's side. So in the early hours of the morning, he was sleeping soundly, but Niu'er woke up, and when she woke up, she was about to eat, and she was screaming and sitting and urinating.

Lei Yiming got up with his eyes closed, blocked Niu'er's mouth with a soaked soft biscuit, tore off the wet diaper and threw it away, and then lay back on the bed and fell asleep again. I don't know how long he slept like this, he opened his eyes dimly, and saw Niu'er lying next to him, kicking his face with his fat feet. Raising his hand to grab a fat foot, he subconsciously kissed it, and then found that Niu'er had changed her clothes, her hands and face were clean, and her hair was an inch shorter, and she was wet and scattered. The sound of clattering heels rang from outside the door to the side of the bed, and he lay still with his eyes closed, while he smelled a familiar aroma.

His eyes immediately darkened, a pair of arms stretched out from his head, picked up Niu'er, and coaxed in a very soft voice: "Good girl, don't kick him, let him sleep, Mom will take you to eat fruit." ”

Niu'er laughed "quack", and seemed to agree, but when Ye Chunhao hugged her to the door, she saw that her father did not get up and follow, so she was scared, twisted into a live fish in Ye Chunhao's arms, and cried when she said she cried, and her voice was as loud as a fire alarm bell. Lei Yiming couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore, sat up and looked at Ye Chun, he said, "Niu'er can't do without me." ”

Ye Chun hated him so much that he enveloped Ye Wenjian, and didn't look at him with good eyes: "Niu'er made you a little Huazi." ”

Lei Yiming said: "

I'm lazy, if you want to feed her, just feed her in this house. ”

"Do you still have a place to put your feet in this house? I don't know anything, and I refuse to hire a servant to help, I really don't know what kind of heart you have. ”

Lei Yiming turned his head to look at the ground, and found that the ground was indeed messy, throwing a pile of dirty clothes in the east and west, and a puddle of water stains.

At this time, Ye Chunhao said again: "You let me take Niu'er home! If you miss Niu'er, go over and see her at any time, she is comfortable, and you can save trouble." ”

Lei Yiming shook his head: "I'm not afraid of being tired." There's no one around, there's only one girl left, and I can't send her out anymore. ”

"You asked for yourself, a good life, and you don't want to live a good life. ”

After saying this, she waited for his answer, when he was unreasonable, he was naturally very unreasonable, but once he lost his temper, he was also very good at bowing down and being small, and he did not play the majesty of a man to the end. This time she was alone in the room, and she always thought that he would have a confession, but after waiting for a while, she turned her head and saw him getting out of bed and pulling on his slippers, and actually silently went into the bathroom.

Lei Yiming always ignored Ye Chunhao.

Ye Chunhao cut two large white pears for Niu'er to eat, and put on the little red leather shoes he brought for Niu'er. Lei Yiming came out after washing up and changed into clean clothes. Sitting on the edge of the bed and rubbing his eyes, he coughed lightly twice.

Ye Chunhao wiped Niu'er's hands, and couldn't see his way, so he said, "I'm leaving, I made thick clothes for Niu'er a few days ago, and I'll bring it tomorrow."

Come. ”

Then she took out half a dozen handkerchiefs from her small leather bag: "This one is soft and absorbent, you take it and wipe the girl's mouth." ”

As soon as she put the handkerchief on the table, she got up and left, because Lei Yiming was always silent, so she put him in her heart instead, and thought about it repeatedly: "Does he hate me so much? But I can't blame me for the divorce, and I didn't throw Niu'er to him, he didn't allow me to take Niu'er away!"

Then she thought again: "Is it that the second brother is upset with me, and he thinks that I instigated the second brother to bully him to get angry? This is really wronged, I have always stopped the second brother!"

After getting into the car, she was still thinking about it, but a brake woke her up. The coachman was still Xiao Han, who had followed her back then, and she raised her head to criticize Xiao Han: "Slow down, it's not fun to touch someone." ”

Xiao Han was about to stretch out his head and go out to scold the person who was in the way, but when he heard the master's words, he couldn't help but scold, obediently turned around and drove on the road. And the person who stood in the way was originally dangling back and forth on this street, but now seeing the car in front of the Lei Mansion go away, he stopped shaking and slipped into the gate of the mansion in a flash.

A few minutes later, he saw Lei Yiming, handed over a letter with both hands, then took a step back and typed a thousand, and said in the language of the former Qing Dynasty: "My lord, this is a handwritten letter from our master to you. ”

Lei Yiming took an envelope, and the envelope was clasped with a fire paint seal, and the seal was a regular "Yu" character. Tearing open the seal and pulling out the letterhead, he looked at it like this, and first from the handwriting, he determined that this was really Yu Tianzuo's handwritten letter.

Yu Tianzuo's writing is far inferior to Lei Yiming,

spoke very clearly, and wrote the letter in the east and west, and the top and bottom could not be coherent, but after Lei Yiming read it several times, he still understood what Yu Tianzuo meant - Yu Tianzuo asked him to go to Chengde.

Lao Shuai is dead, and now Lao Shuai's son Shao Shuai is in charge, although Yu Tianzuo is not Lao Shuai's descendant, but now he is also attached to the young marshal. The Northern Expeditionary Army has not yet entered Rehe, Yu Tianzuo is at a loss when he looks at the future, and now he can only continue to wait and see, but he is still the emperor of one side after all, and he has the right to soldier. Lei Yiming is his good brother, and now that the good brother is in trouble, he naturally wants to lend a hand, and the two have met, maybe they can join forces to make a new situation!

Lei Yiming lit the letter and threw it into the ashtray, and then asked, "You are all in charge, did you say how to act?"

The messenger in the style of the former Qing Dynasty replied: "Back to the adult, our master said, he will send someone to arrange this matter, you don't have to worry about it, you can just follow it then." ”

Lei Yiming asked again: "How do you contact me?"

"Returning to the adult, the little one delivered the letter to the adult today, and this matter is considered to be the first step. Three days later, at three o'clock in the morning, the small one will let a car wait at the back door of the mansion, when you will come, when the car will leave. Of course, the sooner the better, so as not to be seen. ”

Lei Yiming nodded, took out two bills from his trouser pocket and rewarded the messenger. When the messenger had gone, he stood where he was, and went out of his mind for a long time, until Niu'er was crying upstairs, and he woke up like a dream, and hurried upstairs.

This

God, Lei Yiming didn't go out.

He walked around the courtyard with the girl in his arms, closed the gate tightly, and locked the lock hanging on the door—after locking it, he pulled it with his bare hands, and the lock popped open automatically, and the machine inside was broken.

He didn't know how the lock was broken, it seemed that since Man Shanhong came uninvited once, his door could no longer stop any uninvited guests. After the autumn, the wind was cool, he shivered, put his lips to Niu'er's ear and whispered: "Niu'er, wait and see, Dad is not finished yet." ”

Niu'er turned her face to look at him, her little face was snow-white, a pair of big eyes were outlined by long eyelashes, her two eyebrows stretched out long, her thin nose fluttered in the cold wind, she pursed her angular little red lips, and stared at him very seriously.

Lei Yiming looked at her for a moment, and finally Niu'er suddenly smiled, raised two little hands and slapped his shoulders, she was playing joy at him, so he also laughed, while laughing, he thought that he had a bumpy road in his life, fortunately, there was another girl in the end. He can't be wrong to love Niu'er, Niu'er has his eyebrows, his eyes, his bones and blood.

"Daddy loves you. He whispered to her, "When you grow up, Dad won't marry you off someone else." Dad, you let you pick yourself, pick a little son-in-law you like, if he treats you badly, Dad will shoot him, let's continue to pick, pick a better one. ”

Niu'er bit an index finger and looked at him with a smile.

In the next two days, Lei Yiming was always wary of Lin Zifeng coming, but Lin Zifeng went to Beiping for official business and never showed up again

Face.

Zhang Jiatian didn't come either, only Ye Chunhao came and sent a big burden of autumn and winter clothes to Niu'er.

So in the early morning of the third day, at about three o'clock, he quietly dressed himself and wrapped the girl in a small cotton cloak. Niu'er sat drowsy in the crook of his right arm, carrying a suitcase in his right hand and a cane in his left hand, and went downstairs and went out against the cold night wind.

He planned to bypass the small building of the mansion and go out through the back door to get into the car, but the moment he left the door, a person pushed open the door and ran in. He took a closer look and found that the person was actually Ye Wenjian.

When Ye Wenjian saw him, he was also stunned.

Lei Yiming opened his mouth and asked him, "What are you doing here?"

Ye Wenjian panted and asked rhetorically: "Brother-in-law, what are you ...... Going out?"

Then he raised his hand to wipe the hot sweat from his forehead, and said, "Brother-in-law, I want to stay with you for a few days." My sister and Zhang Er scolded me together, saying that I was not motivated. But no matter how much I don't get motivated, I won't go to the street to be a hooligan! My sister scolded me, so why did Zhang Er join in the fun? My sister locked me in the house and didn't let me go out. I escaped by jumping out of the window while they were sleeping at night. ”

After saying this, he looked at Lei Yiming eagerly and decided that his brother-in-law would definitely take him in.

He didn't see Lei Yiming's left hand holding the cane secretly raised to his waist, and he was almost about to lift his coat and pull out the pistol at his waist.

Through the gloves and a layer of outer clothing, his fingers rubbed the handle of the pistol, and then he walked away as if nothing happened. Lei Yiming said: "Okay, since you're here, come with me." ”

"Where are you going?"

Lei Yiming was very gentle

He smiled, "If you don't come with me, you can go home." ”

Ye Wenjian saw that he was smiling kindly, and he was holding Niu'er in his arms, so he must not be able to go to any bad place, so he couldn't help but take a step and followed him all the way to the back door of the mansion.
