Chapter 67: The Return of the Old Man
Since that time Situ Ming made a big fuss about Yufangyuan, Mian Gu has never felt sorry for her later. It's not that Mian Gu is afraid of Situ Yuan, but the order of the owner of Yufangyuan. Even if the cotton girl resents it in her heart, she has to abide by it.
Situ Ming and the other women practiced their skills day and night, and all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting improved by leaps and bounds, and it didn't take long to catch up with other women who had studied hard for many years.
Everyone was puzzled, and Mian Gu privately suspected that she was the fox demon rumored in the market, as far as Situ Ming's hands were not cured, this matter was very strange. But few people know, and Mian Gu doesn't dare to talk nonsense everywhere.
As for Situ Ming, she has her own opinions about the adventures that happened to her, and the source is in the bookstore where she went in her sleep.
With the increase of various skills, she gradually found that the number of books with words in the dream bookstore gradually increased. Although she still didn't understand it in her heart, she vaguely felt that it was related to her life experience.
The life experience she said was not the life experience of the original owner of the body she possessed, but the life experience of Fairy Si Xuan. I think that when her soul was in charge of the division after her death, she heard a voice saying that she had lost her original spirituality and did not remember what happened before.
And the woman in the dream also said that she was gradually waking up, isn't this awakening her spirituality? Maybe these things are what she is already proficient in, and in Yufangyuan, it is just equivalent to learning from the past, so the skills will improve by leaps and bounds.
The women in the Red Dot Pavilion also admired her, and the sisters had occasional incidents together, but they were just quarrels.
There are many things to talk about, and nothing to skip.
Spring goes to the summer solstice, and late autumn and winter come. Time flies, and before I know it, Situ Ming has been in the Red Dot Pavilion in Yufang Garden for more than three years.
Thirty-five years of orthodoxy, spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers.
The flowers in Kyoto are red and willow green, and the swallows return to their nests. The women in the boudoir have come out to enjoy the spring.
Yanhua Temple is a medium-sized temple on the outskirts of Beijing, and the incense in the temple is especially prosperous in spring. The reason is that there is a wild fruit forest in the back mountain of the temple, and the peach and plum in the forest compete for beauty, and the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating. A natural mountain spring flows down from the top of the mountain, forming a peach blossom pool. The water of the pond is crystal clear, occasionally there are fish and shrimp swimming at the bottom of the water, there are petals on the water surface that rotate with the current, the white is pear blossom, and the pink is peach blossom.
In the past few days, Yanhua Temple has almost issued a mountain closure order, except for some wealthy nobles in the ladies, female dependents, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter.
Those boudoir women of large families can't go out several times a year, and they can take this opportunity to make incense and make wishes, and enjoy the flowers.
The back mountain of Yanhua Temple is full of warblers and swallows, and it turns out that people are more delicate than flowers.
Of course, the queen Ruojin, the concubine of the prime minister, was no exception, and she was lingering in the forest with her personal maid to watch the piano. Ruojin is a quiet person, and he is suspicious of a lot of noise, so he walks straight to a quiet place in the depths of the forest with him.
Deep in the woods, there is naturally a different scene, and the two of them are squatting to pick unknown small flowers in the field. I didn't expect a few masked men to suddenly jump out, and a few people tied up the master and servant and kidnapped them without saying a word.
Poor Ruojin and Shiqin were gagged and blindfolded, and they couldn't scream. The masked men carried the two of them down the hill from a path in the forest, and two carriages answered them at the bottom of the mountain, apparently coming prepared.
Just as the masked men were about to stuff the two women into the carriage, the sound of horseshoe carts was heard at the bend in the path. There is a flag in front of the procession, and the four big characters of 'Xingsheng Dart Game' are written in black letters on a gold background.
The two men in front of him were dressed in strong suits and swords at their waists, and one was riding a white-hoofed black horse, with a clear and handsome face, sword eyebrows and sideburns, starry eyes, but a cynical look.
The man riding with him rode a green horse, with an angular face, thick eyebrows, a silkworm head and a goose tail, and big eyes with apricot kernels. Although he looks a little younger than the man, he has a masculine temperament.
"What is that guy up front doing?" Seeing this, the thick-eyed man shouted angrily.
"Zipan, don't scare them away, there is a way to meet half of the meeting, they run away, won't we be able to catch a trace." The sword-eyed man laughed deliberately.
Seeing that there were many people on the other side, the masked men did not say much, threw down the carriage and the two women, and ran away on their own.
Wang Ruojin was happy to have the hope of being saved, but unexpectedly heard another voice saying that he was divided into half of the side, and suddenly his whole body was weak, and the end of the struggle was extinguished. Could it be that there is another gang of robbers in the heart? I regret that I shouldn't have stayed away from the crowd and walked deep into the woods.
Two men on horseback jumped off their horses, and the man with thick eyebrows said:
"Brother Xiao, be cautious, don't frighten the two girls." said that he went to untie Wang Ruojin and Shiqin.
Wang Ruojin was free with her hands and feet, and hurriedly took off the blindfolded cloth and peeked at the man in front of her.
"Girl, don't be afraid, we are from the Kyoto Xingsheng Dart Bureau, and the darts are passing by here. Which house the girl belongs to, please let me know, and send the girl home in the next place, so as not to suffer any more accidents. The thick-eyed man said.
Wang Ruojin raised her eyes and saw the team in front of her, and there was a banner embroidered with a prosperous dart game, so she was relieved. She straightened her clothes slightly, and then stepped forward to salute and thank her, and then everyone sent her back to Yanhua Temple without mentioning it.
The man with sword eyebrows is Xiao Jiahan, and the man with thick eyebrows is Shi Zi'er.
Because of Situ Ming's farewell at the Jizhou Inn last time, Xiao Jiahan was very worried, afraid that she would be taken captive by the Tantric people again. For this reason, Xiao Jiahan searched the entire Jizhou Mansion, but he did not find any trace of Situ Ming.
He guessed that maybe Situ Cheng had returned to Shijia Village again, so he went to Shijiamen again, and then learned that Shi Zi'er, that is, Shi Zipan, was also looking for Situ Cheng everywhere, and Situ Cheng disappeared.
Xiao Jiahan didn't find Situ Yuan when he arrived in Shijia Village, but instead brought Shi Zipan out, just as Zipan's eldest brother returned home after serving his forced labor, and he could also take care of the second elder.
Since then, Shi Zipan and Xiao Jiahan have become sworn brothers, and the two have different temperaments, but they have similar tempers. With the help of the power of the Yan Li Xingsheng Gang, they established the Xingsheng Dart Bureau in Kyoto, and while they were running, they continued to look for Situ Ming.
At the same time, Xiao Kahan was also secretly investigating the bloody case of his own family, but the Tantric Sect in Kyoto found a lot, but he could not find out who the sect master was behind the scenes?
"Zipan, did you just fall in love with that woman, why did you ever see you treat me so softly?" Xiao Kahan rode on a horse and joked about Shi Zipan.
"Brother Xiao, can I talk to you like this in the future?" Zipan deliberately pinched his throat to speak.
"Wow!" Xiao Jiahan vomited.
"Don't be disgusted with me, I haven't had a good meal on this trip today, don't mind vomiting all the bile."
"This business trip is only half a day's journey back and forth, and you have to take me to escort it personally." Shi Zipan continued.
"Such a spring is full of joy, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the beauty if you don't ride a horse to step on the spring." Xiao Jiahan shook his head and said.
"Oh, dare you think like that!" Shi Zipan said again.
"Isn't it, although Ben Shaoxia likes to go out late at night to do some business to rob the rich and help the poor, this business on the surface has to be done, right?" Xiao Jiahan said with a smile.
In fact, their Xingsheng Dart Bureau is just a rudder of the Xingsheng Gang, and the escort affairs are specially handled by the following people on weekdays.
"But then again, when I think of what happened just now, I am terrified, if it is for Mi'er to suffer this accident, and there is no one to help him......" Shi Zipan fell into deep thought.
Xiao Jiahan understood his thoughts and comforted:
"Don't worry, Miss Situ is not an ordinary person, she may have found her biological parents now, and her life is comfortable and worry-free!" It's just that Xiao Jiahan couldn't deceive his face when he said this, and he also remembered what happened in the broken temple when he was in Jizhou, if he hadn't arrived in time, would Situ Cheng be able to get out of it?
Xiao Jiahan glanced down at his right hand, although after three years, the scar on it was gradually fading, but the scar in his heart was always there.
He couldn't forget the night Cuilian died, Situ Cheng was like crazy. He hugged her from behind, afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it. She shouted and screamed, her nails grabbing at his right hand like sharp blades.
I can't forget that she leaned weakly into his arms, complaining why he didn't come earlier.
I can't forget her blood-red eyes under the candlelight, she smiled like a flower, shot like a ghost, and tortured the three gangsters to death.
I can't forget the Tongfu Inn, where she sat in despair.
I can't forget that she was wary of him, afraid that he would use her to exchange news with Tantra.
He didn't win her trust, which made her leave despite the difficulties outside.
And he never said this to anyone, including Shi Zipan, who was like a brother to him. If Zi Pan knew that he deliberately approached Situ Cheng for the sake of Tantra, what would Zi Pan think, and would he still trust him so much?
Neither of them spoke anymore, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
After a while, Shi Zipan said:
"I wish she had found her biological parents! It's just that we have traveled so many places and searched for so many years, and we have never heard of someone surnamed Situ. ”
"Miss Situ once told me about her, saying that she had lost all her memories and did not know her name. She claimed that her surname was Situ because of a jasper bracelet she was wearing, but the bracelet was dull and unusual. Xiao Kahan said.
"How can it be dim, it is clearly a treasure that glows faintly at night!" Shi Zipan retorted that he had slept in the same bedroom with Situ Cheng when he was young. The bracelet Situ Cheng had never taken off, and despite several layers of clothing, Shi Zipan could still see a blue light emitting at night.
"I just glanced at it slightly, maybe I was wrong." Xiao Jiaohan said, after all, he and Situ Yuan have only been together for a few days, where will he understand her like Shi Zipan.
Shi Zipan heard for the first time today that Xiao Jiahan actually knew the origin of Situ Ming's surname, and he couldn't help but be surprised. But after thinking about it, Xiao Jiahan is also the one who saved Situ Cheng a few times, and it makes sense for Situ Cheng to tell him about this.
Because of the incident of the gangsters kidnapping the woman today, the two of them couldn't help but be a little worried about Situ Ming, and they didn't know where she was now and what her situation was.
A team of people from the Xingsheng Dart Bureau entered Kyoto in a mighty way.
But I never thought that the masked men just now changed their clothes and entered Kyoto City, and as soon as a few men entered the city, they walked into a restaurant.
"How's it going?" A man dressed as a guy in the restaurant approached them and asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, it's smooth!" One of the men said.
The guy at the restaurant smiled with satisfaction, and immediately changed his appearance and shouted:
"A few guest officers, please!"
