Chapter 207: The Cause of the Incident

When Zheng Sui opened his eyes, his head was blank for a moment.

On the high table at the head of the bed, there are two celadon riding beast candlesticks, and the flaming red fireworks go straight up, illuminating the whole room very brightly.

Qingluo bucket tent, screen couch, the window is pasted with the screen window of the rain after the eye, there is the fragrance of melons, fruits and vegetables in the room, the jade pillow is pillow under the neck, the quilt on the body is light and fluttering, but it is very warm, and the quilt is a cloud brocade with exquisite patterns and bright colors.

All consciousness gradually came back to the mind.

Rolling his eyes and looking at the surroundings, Zheng Sui could be sure that this was definitely not in the Red Mansion.

She had escaped.

At this thought, he sat up busily.

As soon as I exerted my strength, there was a huge pain in my ankle, and even my back hurt so badly that I made a loud sound.

With a thump, the whole person lay down again.

Before he could slow down, there was a sound of footsteps, and then the curtain was lifted, and what caught her eye was an elderly woman with a kind and amiable face, "Shi Niang woke up." After speaking, he was a little happy, "Great, the old slave will immediately send someone to sue my family Langjun." ”

When Zheng Sui heard this, she was even more sure that this was not in a dream, although when she was in the attic, she often dreamed of returning home, but the pain in her ankle reminded her that it was not a dream.

Although she has never seen this person, she can prepare to call her Shi Niang.

A heart let go, and was about to open her mouth to ask where this was, besides, she came out of the Wishing Temple and had seen Huan Yu.

Just unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke. But he just made a hoarse voice, babbling hoarsely, and when Ah Yi had not learned to speak before. The voice is no different, and there is something in my heart that I can't say.

When the old woman saw it, she hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, Shi Niang, the doctor said that you just haven't drunk water for a few days, and your vocal cords are damaged." So when I first woke up, it was a little difficult to speak, but it didn't take long for me to get better. stepped forward to help Zheng Sui get up. put a big hidden sac behind Zheng Sui, and then took the honey handed by the maid on the side and handed it to Zheng Sui's mouth. "Ten ladies drink a few sips of water. The doctor told you to drink some water when you woke up. ”

Zheng Sui nodded, he was hungry and thirsty in those days, and when he saw the honey in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he opened his mouth to drink two sips, but the more he drank, the more he felt delicious. It's like a sweet sauce you've never tasted before, and it's delicious.

It's just that Fang drank half a bowl. But the old woman took it and handed the bowl to the maidservant beside her.

Zheng Sui was slightly dissatisfied, she only felt that she hadn't drunk enough, her eyes stared straight at the half bowl of honey water, the old woman saw it, her heart was stunned, in her opinion, this little lady, should not be greedy for this half bowl of honey is, thinking of this, and thinking of the words of the doctor, I haven't eaten or drunk for a few days, my heart can't help but be sour, so I said:" Shi Niang, the doctor said, the lady just woke up, drink too much water, the old slave has asked people to go to the kitchen to bring red dates and white rice porridge over, Shi Niangzi eat some food, sleep well tonight, a qiē is over. ”

A qiē has passed.

Zheng Sui chewed this sentence carefully in his heart, glanced at the old woman, and wanted to speak, but her voice was still very hoarse, and it took a lot of effort to say a few words, and the voice was still very small, and the old woman was close to her, so she could hear it.

"I want to see your family. ”

The old woman was stunned for a moment, "Shi Niang just woke up, and someone has already gone to inform my family Langjun." Stretched out his hand to help Zheng Sui lean on the hidden sac, "After eating the food, let Doctor Song come over to see Shi Niang." ”

Zheng Sui only leaned on the crypt sac.

Be sure to let Huan Yu go to the Red Mansion to save Yuan Sanniang.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and pushed the old woman again, pointed to the door, and repeated, "I want to see your family." After saying that, he shouted again.

It's just hoarseness, especially the last two words, just hoarse, and I can't hear it.

Zheng Sui had no choice but to reach out and push the old woman again.

The old woman quickly understood the past, and looked at Zheng Sui's face full of anxiety, if she hadn't pressed it, she was afraid that she would have to get out of bed, so she hurriedly called a maid at the door to come over, and told her to hurry to the front yard to urge again, so that Lang Jun could come over earlier.

Almost at the moment when the maidservant girl went out, Huan Yu and Shen Zhi walked in.

Zheng Sui's eyes flashed with brilliance, and his face showed a little joy.

"Girl, you're awake. ”

"Hui Saburo, Shi Niangzi's vocal cords are damaged, and she can't speak smoothly for the time being, which is very laborious. The old woman got up busily and was about to salute Shen Zhi who was coming up, but saw Shen Zhi raise his hand and stopped.

Huan Yu listened to the old woman's words, sighed lightly, looked at Zheng Sui and said with a smile: "I can't speak, but it's quiet, and it saves you from chattering." ”

Zheng Sui heard this, leaned on the hidden sac, and sure enough, it was still that Uncle Huan, but this time, he didn't feel that he didn't like it, he only felt that his heart was warm, he opened his mouth to speak, and just called Ah Ping.

But Huan Yu interrupted, "Since your throat is uncomfortable and you can't speak, don't speak." After speaking, he raised his hand and said, "I have rescued Yuan Sanniang, don't worry, she is resting now, and I will bring her to see you tomorrow." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zheng Sui's heart suddenly put down completely, his brows were completely stretched, and the smile on his face was very bright, as if the sky had cleared after the rain.

Listen to Huan Yu again: "Wait a while, let the doctor come over to take a look at you, and before going to bed, let Zhao Yu help you apply medicine to the wounds on your face and body, and sleep well, I have sent someone to inform Wulang, and your brother should rush over tomorrow." ”

Listening to this string of admonitions, every sentence went straight to Zheng Sui's heart, as if she could see what she was thinking and thinking, which reassured her little by little, until the end, she didn't need to ask more questions.

After Dr. Song came to check the pulse and saw the wound, there was nothing serious, and Huan Yu left.

As soon as he got out of the house, Dr. Song rushed to the west chamber next to him.

Huan Yu glanced at Shen Zhi at his side, "Sir, how is Yuan Sanniang's injury?"

Earlier, they entered the Yangliu Building and found the eldest lady in the building, Shen Zhi came forward as a member of the Shen family, and the eldest lady never let go, and insisted on it. There were no three ladies, until Shen Zhi put the younger brother of the family, that is, the current patriarch of the Shen family. Looking for it, the lady was relieved.

It's just that when they arrived, Yuan Sanniang was locked in the basement, let the whip be bruised all over her body, and her white middle clothes were all stained with blood, so that the two servants let them go. When Yuan Sanniang saw him, she should have recognized him and shouted two words. Save her.

The whole person passed out.

He used to go to Yuan's mansion often and saw Yuan Sanniang, who was just a six or seven-year-old child at that time.

So at first glance. He hadn't recognized Yuan Sanniang yet.

He came out this time. There were only about 200 soldiers with him, and after taking away Yuan Sanniang, half of the remaining people guarded the entire Yangliu Tower, so much so that they also alarmed Zhou Shu, the county commander of Jingkou.

In comparison, Yuan Sanniang's injuries are stricter than Zheng Sui's.

It's just that he listened to the words of a concubine in the building, and he still couldn't believe that everyone in the Yangliu Building this morning. It turned out to be released by Yuan Sanniang, but Yuan Sanniang not only failed to escape. It is precisely because of this that he was beaten so badly.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Sanniang set fire, and Zheng Sui took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Fortunately, when he came out, he saved both of them.

It's just that the price paid by Yuan Sanniang is too tragic.

"I didn't dare to let the servant woman in, but let the maid personally check the whip wound of Yuan Sanniang, saying that the whip saw the blood, and the saw it, and felt unbearable, so I took the personal maid next to me and cleaned it up for a long time before the bleeding was stopped and the medicine was applied, and now the person is in pain and fainted. ”

Huan Yu listened, and said: "Since there is nothing to do, we can go back, and there will be a big drama to watch tomorrow." ”

Just took a step, but Shen Zhi called him, "San Lang, I started with my brother, can you cover this matter, I hope that next, San Lang can reconcile one or two in the middle." ”

Huan Yu was slightly stunned, but he shook his head, looked at Shen Zhi, and asked, "The benefits in this are really too big, right?" Without waiting for Shen Zhi to answer, he heard Huan Yu sneer, "I can make the patriarch of the Shen family say this, but I'm afraid that the benefits are not ordinarily big." ”

Shen Zhi said silently, he also learned from what his brother said that the Shen family's coins, aside from the fields and manors, and more than half of them came from the shops that partnered with the Manchu family, and this matter really made trouble, and almost all of the Manchu family's shops were greatly damaged.

Shinong industry and commerce, business is the last.

Thinking of more than 20 years ago, the fourth room of the Zheng family asked the eldest daughter to marry the merchant Jia Man's family, but in fact, in private, everyone was doing business with the Manchu family.

The Zheng family has four rooms, and it has been criticized for this, but it is just because the cost of the Zheng family's investment is too large.

It's just that it involves the Shen clan, and he has to open this mouth.

After all, Huan Yu saved Zheng Shi Niang and Yuan Sanniang, and at that time, Zheng Yuan's two families would have to give Huan Yu a few thin noodles.

"Don't worry. Huan Yu glanced at Shen Zhi, neither agreed, nor did he not agree, "If it is really as Mr. said, the big clans in Jingkou City, the Xi family and the Zhou family all have a share, then deal with Yangliulou, these two families will come forward for the sake of interests, and when the time comes, not to mention the fledgling Zheng Wulang, even the Yuan family who is now cooking oil, it will not be able to be investigated, but the people in the building are difficult to say." ”

Saying this, he stretched his waist, "Okay, Ming'er still has to watch a big show, I have to sleep first, recuperate my spirit, now I don't have to fight, I have to have fun for myself." ”

Shen Zhi listened, watched Huan Yu turn around and walk out, and immediately smiled bitterly.

Tonight, I'm afraid that only Huan Yu can sleep peacefully.

Look up and look up at the sky, there is no moon or stars in the sky, and tomorrow will be a dark cloudy weather.

――*――*――

Early the next morning, Zheng Sui woke up.

When I opened my eyes and looked at the Yiqi in front of me, I was sure once again that I had escaped from that attic.

A pair of eyes, dripping and turning, as if they couldn't see enough.

When Zhao Yu smeared her medicine last night, in addition to the bandages on her hands, she also had several wounds on her face, forehead, ankles, and even her back, which should be the sequelae left over from jumping from the tree yesterday, and she was covered in pain, but no matter what, her heart was also comfortable, at least she had escaped and left that dirty place, and she didn't have to be cold and hungry anymore, let alone panic.

Just come out.

If it hadn't been for Zhao Yu to stop her, she would have wanted to go down to the ground and walk around.

"Sanniang is really back. Zheng Sui sat on the bed and asked Zhao Yu next to him in a hoarse voice.

"Shi Niang doesn't believe the words of the old slave, don't you still believe the words of General Huan, yesterday afternoon. Huan Sanniang and my family Langjun went out in person and brought Yuan Sanniang into the house. ”

Listened to this. Zheng Sui smiled and nodded.

Under the service of Zhao Yu, she had breakfast, leaned on the crypt sac, her spirit had recovered a lot, and she asked again: "Where is Ah Ping, where has Ah Ping gone? I want to meet the third lady." ”

"General Huan is having breakfast with my family Langjun in the front hall, and I will come to see Shi Niang later. ”

"But I want to see the third lady. Zheng Sui muttered again. The voice is very low, and if you are a little farther away, you can't hear it. Only when Zhao Yu sat on the edge of the bed could she hear clearly.

"This has to listen to the Song disease, and the old slave doesn't dare to let the little lady go to the ground without permission. Zhao Yu stretched out her hand and pulled the brocade quilt for Zheng Sui, and said with a smile: "If the little lady is bored." The old slave called Green Cloud in. Let her accompany the little lady to play with the chain lock and Kong Ming lock. ”

When Zheng Sui heard this, he waved his hand busily, "I don't play with these things." Speaking of which, since she played with Kong Mingsuo with Ah Yi, she was no longer interested in these, because later, Ah Yi was a little sensible, and Kong Mingsuo fought faster and better than her. It made her feel like she had no face, and since then. I swore that I would never play with these things again.

It didn't take long for Dr. Song, who lived in the house, to check her pulse and check the wound.

When Zhao Yu asked about the situation, Doctor Song nodded again and again, saying that he had recovered well, and ordered him to pay attention to his diet and apply medicine before retreating.

When Huan Yu came over, Zheng Sui was listening to Zhao Yu's story and was drowsy, but as soon as he heard the report, he suddenly opened his eyes, woke up, and sat up straight.

Zhao Yu watched from the side and couldn't help laughing, but she didn't dare to let Zheng Sui exert herself, so she hurriedly reached out to hug Zheng Sui, moved the crypt behind her, and let her lean on the crypt.

Zheng Sui watched Huan Yu walk in, his eyes looked behind him, he didn't see Yuan Sanniang's figure, and his heart was suddenly a little disappointed, "Ah Ping, I want to see Yuan Sanniang." ”

"It's not big or small, I want to call my brother. Huan Yu stepped forward and raised his hand towards Zheng Sui.

It's just that Zheng Sui didn't pay attention to it at all, "I'm well, I want to see Yuan Sanniang." ”

"Xixi," Huan Yu called, only to find that this girl was no different from when she was a child, she was still stubborn, she only felt a headache, and looked up at Zhao Yu next to her, "Grandma will go outside and watch first, and I will say a few words to Xixi." ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, she hesitated, looked at Huan Yu, and then looked at Zheng Sui, "General Huan, Shi Niang is a girl in the end, and she is also old, if the general has anything to say to Shi Niang, the old slave is on the side, and it is more convenient to come." ”

To put it mildly, it is almost not straightforward to say that men and women should not live in the same room.

Huan Yu glanced at Zhao Yu and laughed sneeringly, "You old man has a lot of things, and there are many things to do, let you give the whole thing, I watched Shi Niang grow up, that is, her brother, let you go out, you go out, go outside to guard." ”

Before Concubine Zhao could speak, Zheng Sui also opened her mouth, "Eminem will go out first, it just so happens that I also have something to say to my brother, so it's not in the way." ”

Listening to Zheng Sui's words, Zhao Yu suddenly showed a little embarrassment, she was thinking about Shi Niang, and she didn't want to even Shi Niang not to appreciate it, so she had to respond busily, retreated, and took out a few maids in the house.

After Zhao Yu went out, Huan Yu thought about it for a while, and talked about the rescue of Yuan Sanniang yesterday, as well as the injuries on Yuan Sanniang's body.

Zheng Sui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and finally leaned on the crypt sac, speechless for a long time.

It wasn't until Huan Yu called several times that Zheng Sui came back to his senses, but muttered: "I thought that the fire was an accident, but I didn't want to, it was actually the fire she set ...... If I had run into you yesterday and hadn't fainted, I would have told you in time to go there to save Yuan Sanniang, and she wouldn't have suffered this catastrophe......"

Later, there was a long sigh in his tone.

Huan Yu listened, but shook his head, disagreed, reached out to touch Zheng Sui's head, but felt that it was inappropriate, withdrew his hand, and persuaded: "Don't think about this, sue you, it's to let you know the situation in front of the third lady, not to make you blame yourself, what's more, even Doctor Song said that your body was so weak yesterday that it was difficult to climb out of the door, but it was not easy for you to escape from there yesterday and walk to the street." ”

"If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the courage to set fire to the building, and I could come out this time, thanks to the fire. ”

After speaking, Zheng Sui muttered again, "I have to go and see her." ”

Hearing this, Huan Yu only smiled bitterly, he originally just wanted to reassure Zheng Sui, so as to dispel Zheng Sui's thoughts, but he didn't expect this girl to be more determined to see Yuan Sanniang, so he asked. How did they end up in the Red Mansion?

Zheng Sui then talked about it from the edge of Yanque Lake until he escaped from the attic yesterday, and he spoke very carefully. Of course, because of the hoarseness of his throat, not only was his voice very low, but he also spoke very slowly, and during this time, he drank water three times, which took three quarters of an hour. to make everything clear.

Huan Yu walked around the room a few times, sat down on the edge of the bed, stared at Zheng Sui and asked, "So." Haven't you seen what those guys look like?"

Zheng Suifu leaned on the crypt and shook his head, "But I've heard their voices, as long as I can hear them again." You'll be able to recognize it. ”

Huan Yu reached out and took out a jade from his arms to ward off evil spirits. Handed it to Zheng Sui, "Look at this." ”

Zheng Sui hurriedly took it, only glanced at it, but looked up at Huan Yu, "How can you have this thing? This is the ornament they searched from me when I was on the road." ”

"I know who those guys are. Huan Yu's face froze, and he asked again, "Xixi, is the wound on your body still painful?"

Zheng Sui was stunned for a moment. But he shook his head, "Doctors Song said that I recovered well." I didn't want to stay in bed. ”

"Alright, girl, follow me out, and I'll take you somewhere. ”

When Zheng Sui heard this, he was overjoyed, and struggled to get up, but he just asked Huan Yu to stretch out his hand to stop him, "Don't come nonsense, I'll call Concubine Zhao to come in and serve you and dress." ”

Hearing that Huan Yu had found the group that had kidnapped them, Zheng Sui did everything, sat on the bed and did not move, waiting for Huan Yu to go out and summon Zhao Yu in.

For Zheng Sui to go out, Zhao Yu did not disagree, only because Zheng Sui insisted, and her own Langjun sent someone to send the shoulder, Zhao Yu led the maid to serve Zheng Sui to dress and comb her hair.

Before going out, Zheng Sui sat on his shoulder and went to see Yuan Sanniang first, but Yuan Sanniang was lying on the bed and did not wake up.

On this trip, because he took Zheng Sui with him, Huan Yu deliberately chose an ox cart to go out instead of riding a horse.

The car drove smoothly and slowly.

It took about an hour to rush to Lion Rock.

It's just that as soon as Huan Yu arrived, a soldier outside came to report, "General, the people who connected with the group on the mountain are here......"

Huan Yu got out of the ox cart first and glanced at the soldier, "Come here, come here, what do you squeak, when did he arrive?"

"General, the person who came to the joint is a girl, and she has come up the mountain at the beginning of the hour. ”

"Girl?" Huan Yu couldn't help but be surprised, "How old?"

"I'm about seventeen or eighteen years old, and I'm still a sister-in-law. ”

"Make no mistake. Huan Yu couldn't believe it.

"There can be no mistake, but the girl was indeed very bold, and dared to go up the mountain with only one servant who was driving the car. ”

Huan Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a little strong interest, he really wanted to meet that girl, he dared to come out alone, and meet with this gang of bandits, this morning Huan Qin reported the news to him, it has been found out that this group of people is a group of green forests and grass on the Fuchun River, although there are only about 20 people, but all of them are skilled.

Thinking of this, he ordered the chief beside him, "Keep it guarded, remember not to let anyone out." ”

The chief hurriedly replied, "It's all arranged, and none of them can leave." ”

Huan Yu hummed, waved his hand to let him retreat, and then, Zheng Sui wore a hat out of the carriage, got off the ox cart, and then sat on his shoulder, all the way to the Lion Rock, the Lion Rock is neither high, nor big, but it is better in dense woods, surrounded by rivers on three sides, and the shape is dangerous.

A hundred years ago, the Hu people in the north went south, and they also stopped here.

It was only later that the Hu people retreated, and this place gradually became deserted, Huan Yu had followed General Yuan several times before, and he knew the situation on the mountain well, and it was the soldiers who led the way in front, and soon found the hiding place of the green forest and grass.

When the familiar rough sound came, Zheng Sui's eyes suddenly widened, and before she got close to the barrier, she could be sure that those people inside were the people who kidnapped them, she would never hear it wrong, supported by Huan Yu, her steps almost staggered to the barrier, and reached out to hold the barrier and stand still.

Looking at Zheng Sui's reaction, Huan Yu no longer had half a doubt.

Then, a familiar female voice came out of the cave, making Zheng Sui stiffen, like a basin of cold water pouring down from the top of his head in winter, freezing his whole body.

“…… Where the hell have you gotten people, and hand them over......"

“…… I'm just trying to scare the unconscionable person...... I'm just trying to scare him, so I'll beg you, I'll give you as much as you want, just tell me, where is that little lady?"

The voice was a little anxious, however, it was heard that Zheng Sui's head was buzzing, Zheng Suimu tilted his head, looking through the holes, the cave was brightly lit, and under the lights, Manqin's face became more and more gorgeous and charming.

Zheng Sui would rather see it wrong, but he blinked a few times, but his face, figure, eyebrows, and voice were all too familiar.

And her eyes only stayed on Man Qin, and as for the dispute, she couldn't hear a word.

Huan Yu soon noticed Zheng Sui's strange appearance, and hurriedly helped Zheng Sui to leave, until he helped Zheng Sui on his shoulder, and then asked: "Girl, what's wrong with you, ...... girl?"

Zheng Sui's eyes suddenly turned, as if he had returned to his soul, but he hurriedly reached out and grabbed Huan Yu's clothes, "Ah Ping, don't move that girl, let her go, okay?"

The tone was full of pleading. (To be continued......)
