256. Saving Lives
In Fushoutang, Old Madam Xia put the bag in her hand on the table, turned her head and asked, "Are all these things you said true?"
Chanyi nodded hurriedly, "Sister Qing said that she was going out to find Second Brother Pei, and asked me to tell my grandmother, please don't worry, wait for her to come back and then decide, I think it's the same, if we go back now, what about the second brother's spring ......?"
Chanyi analyzed the pros and cons one by one, so that Mrs. Xia couldn't help but be stunned when she heard it, her granddaughter was so sensible, but she seemed to be too eager, she pinched the package in her hand, and the clothes in the package were soft, just like her mood at the moment.
"When people are old, it is easy to avoid evil, but they are not as calm as your little doll," Mrs. Xia smiled self-deprecatingly, spread out the package, and took out the things one by one to pack up, "When your father comes back in the evening, ask your father about the situation in the court, if it really doesn't work, we will pack up and go back to Xinyang." β
Chanyi knew that her grandmother was so cautious for herself, so she comforted her and left Fushoutang.
The sky gradually darkened, scattered stars twinkled in the night sky, it looked very bright, it was only a few days after the beginning of spring, the sky began to improve, I think this year should not be too sad.
Chanyi tightened the big air on her body, and thought absentmindedly, that is, the wind was too cold at night, and she still felt a little cold when she walked on the path in the house like this, Jinping carried a palace lamp beside her to light the road, and whispered next to her.
"Miss asked me to pay attention to the movement of Xifeng Garden before, I found out yesterday that Qiaolan of Xifeng Garden went to the street to buy rouge gouache, passed by Bao Xiang Zhai, stayed in it for a whole hour before coming out, when I went in, my hand was still empty, I came out with a small box, it looked like I was in a hurry, the slave and maid later looked for a long time in Bao Xiang Zhai and did not find such a box, I felt very strange. β
Chanyi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "You keep an eye on her, if there is any change, tell me in time, and Yongxing will be over there...... Forget it, you don't have to worry about it over there. β
Chanyi thought that if there was any news from Chu Shaoyuan, someone would tell her over there in Yongxing, and she didn't need to pay attention to it, it was too deliberate, but it would attract the attention of others.
Jinping nodded yes, remembering one thing, "Miss, the third master said before that the maid I found for you was taken by Mother Zhang to teach the rules when I entered the house before, and Mother Zhang said that the maid was very clever, and she would be able to learn the rules in a few days." β
"Well," Chan Yi responded, this maid was sent to the house on the day Chu Shaoyuan just left, she didn't have time to pay attention to it, so she handed it over to Mother Zhang next to her grandmother to discipline, thinking that the maid who can get Chu Shaoyuan's eyes has her own strengths, "When that maid is taught, put her by her side and start with the third-class maid." β
Jinping responded, walked to the listening corridor, and raised the palace lamp in her hand higher, "Miss be careful." β
Listening to the wind corridor is a section of the corridor, there are several steps on the corridor, this corridor is the only way for Fushoutang to lead to the Hidden Autumn Courtyard, the corridor is built next to the lotus pond, it is very elegant and chic, the corridor in the summer will have vines and plants to climb the entire eaves, and it is very cool to shake the fan under the eaves to read a book or play chess.
It's just that the wind corridor is a little cold in winter, because the corridor is full of ancient trees, some trees grow very tall, the branches are flourishing, and the light is blocked in winter, which makes people have a sense of oppression, especially in such a night, the stars are very bright, but the shadow of the ancient trees casts down, but the scenery is covered by a qiΔ, and when you walk by at night, you will always feel a little terrible.
Chanyi carefully went up the steps, straightened her dress, and suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood at the end of her nose, she suddenly looked up at an ancient tree next to the corridor, and noticed that something was wrong, so she involuntarily moved to the side.
At this moment, a bright dagger appeared in the air, straight towards Chanyi, Chanyi instantly felt that the blood all over her body was going to coagulate, and she hurriedly retreated until her back was against the pillar of the corridor, the dagger stopped between her neck, and with the sound of her breathing, it rubbed her skin one by one, and the sharp feeling from the dagger made Chanyi dare not ask a word.
Jinping, who was walking in front, heard the movement and turned around, so frightened that he almost screamed out, and was covered by a hand, and the palace lamp fell to the ground with a "clang", and the wick of the candle inside swayed, burning the gauze cover outside.
Taking advantage of the faint palace lamp, Chanyi saw the person in front of her clearly, the person in front of her was a man, holding Jinping with one hand and covering her mouth and nose, and pointing at her neck with a dagger in the other, and her body was dressed in a short dress, which looked like a martial artist, but her face was pale, and the bloody gas that came from him made her instantly understand that he should have been injured, otherwise she would not be so white, her eyes fell on him, and she found that his clothes were tornγ
"You guys, don't call ......" The man's voice was very clear, different from the aura emanating from his body, his voice was very calm, it didn't sound like an injured person, "If you don't scream, I'll let it go, how?"
His words were very slow, if it was usual, Chanyi would definitely think that he spoke at such a speed, but when she smelled the blood on his body, she understood a little, maybe this person was too seriously injured, so she would say a few words out.
Chanyi's calves were a little weak, the person in front of her exuded a dangerous aura, the cold breath in her eyes was brighter than the stars in the sky, but it didn't seem to have any content, and her eyes were full of lifeless feeling, looking like a knife out of the sheath.
Seeing that Chanyi didn't speak, the man glanced at Jinping, Jinping felt that the strength on his mouth and nose was greater, seeing that Jinping was a little out of breath and his eyes rolled over, Chanyi hurriedly said: "Don't kill her, she's just a maid, it's useless for you to kill her, just say whatever you want, I will do everything I can." β
The man relaxed his strength, Jinping gasped violently in his chest, and listened to him: "You go, take, gold sore medicine, bring it, don't, attract people, otherwise, she will die." The man's voice was still calm and self-contained, but the cold meaning in his words made Jinping shiver.
Jinping knew that the man was saying to himself, and nodded hurriedly, and after the man finished speaking, he let go of the hand that restrained her, and the dagger was exactly against Chanyi, if you don't bring the medicine, your master will die immediately.
Jinping was let go by him, and almost sat on the ground, and when he saw the dagger on Chanyi's neck, he hurriedly got up and ran in the direction of Lanxin Courtyard.
Chan Yi watched the man gradually break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, his brows furrowed, looking at him, he should have been injured a lot, how could he still break into a place like Dongshi where powerful people gather, he broke into such a place like this, if he accidentally broke into Xungui's house, those guards could kill him.
The man's eyes were staring at her, the cold wind blew, and the whole person was a little shivering, and he said, "You, Dayu, give it to me." β
Chanyi's eyes widened instantly, and she stared at him in surprise, this person is too much, holding a dagger in her house, and daring to ask for this and that, it is simply too arrogant!
The man saw a wave of indignation rise in her clear eyes, a teenage girl, when she saw such a thing, she didn't cry, but dared to look at him, which can be regarded as courageous, for some reason he wanted to scare her, he leaned forward, the dagger flipped and slashed against her neck, because he had stood for a long time earlier, his body was a little numb, but the small movement tore his wound painfully.
Chan Yi suddenly felt a cold neck on her neck, the dagger in her hand was not light or heavy, as if she had cut her neck, her eyebrows couldn't help but pick up, and suddenly felt that the man's whole person fell down, she subconsciously reached out to support him, lowered her head, and then realized that the man had just used the back of the dagger to stick to her neck, she was a little crying and laughing, what was this person doing?
Seeing the man in a cold sweat, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Where are you injured?"
Seeing that she didn't run, the man reached out to support him, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, adding a bit of popularity to his face that had been expressionless.
"You, don't you run?"
Chanyi sighed, "No matter how you got to my house, in short, you didn't hurt me, I'll help you, okay, don't talk nonsense, where are you hurt?"
It seems that he met a soft-hearted and kind-hearted little girl, the man smiled in his heart and pointed to the back with difficulty.
Jinping came in a hurry at this time, and was startled when she saw Chanyi supporting the man, "Miss, are you okay?"
Chanyi nodded, "We'll help him to the rain shelter." β
"Miss..."Jinping looked at Chanyi in surprise, this person was still threatening her so fiercely just now, how could she ...... in a blink of an eye
Chanyi urged: "Hurry up, be careful of being discovered." β
Although Jinping didn't agree with Chanyi's approach, she still helped her to help the man into the rain shelter and light the candlesticks placed in the room.
Because it is always rainy in Yunfu City in summer, it may rain at any time, so a rain shelter was built near the listening corridor, and some change of shirts were prepared in it all year round, which was purchased according to the preferences of the first few sons in the house, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.
Chan Yi put the clothes in her hand in front of the table, put the ointment in the same place, and said to the man: "If you still have the strength yourself, put the medicine on, here are the clothes of my brothers, if you can use it, you can change it yourself." β
Chan Yi looked at the man, the corners of her mouth pursed and said in a deep voice: "Also, no matter who you are and why you appear at my house, but at most you are allowed to stay until tomorrow morning, you have to leave me immediately, during this period I promise that no one will find you, do you understand?"
The man knew that she didn't want to cause disaster to her family, so he nodded and said, "You, don't worry!"
