Chapter 48: Escape

The old lady asked the nursing home to go to the Zhou family's courtyard to watch, and came back to tell if there was anything abnormal. "And immediately sent people to the courtyards to call the ladies.

"What's the matter? Cedar, you have to let me comb my hair, you can't just go to the old lady like this, can you? ”

"Crane, let go, my sleeves are going to be broken by you."

"Qiu Ju, can you walk slowly?"

"Guixiang, Guixiang, wait a minute, I fell off one of my shoes."

……

When a few wives came, they were simply wolves. When the eldest lady saw the old lady, she couldn't help but say, "Old lady, you should also take care of He'er's girl." It's getting more and more unruly. Look at it, look at it, what has become of my sleeves? What a ......."

The eldest lady still had a lot to say, but the old lady didn't listen at all, but looked anxiously at the door, and when she saw that the last fourth lady had also arrived, she shouted: "Okay, I have something very important to say to you, listen to me well." This is a time when the survival of our Hong family is at stake. ”

As soon as the old lady spoke, several wives were stunned.

"Life and death?"

What is this? Okay, it's when one happy event comes after another, where does life and death come from?

The old lady didn't wait for them to ask, and said in one breath: "I got the news that the Zhou family colluded with pirates and sent people to spy on our Hong family. Most likely, they are intending to destroy us so that they can cover up the ugly things they have done. Now, you go back, wake up your sister and brother, and I will ask someone to prepare a carriage and leave overnight. Remember, you don't have to bring anything else except the silver ticket. Give you a quarter of an hour, and when the time is up, just ask for more blessings. I'm not going to wait. ”

"This, the Zhou family is a famous family, how could they collude with pirates, old lady, you won't be deceived by anyone, right?" As she spoke, the eldest lady glared at Hongqi: "Is it you, Seventh Sister?" You're behind the scenes again, aren't you? ”

"That's it, Seventh Sister, you can't talk nonsense. Pirates, how is that possible? You're not stupid and talking nonsense again, are you? Old lady, let's find a doctor to take a look at the seventh sister first. ”

The third lady didn't believe it at all, this thing was really ridiculous.

It's better to let the doctor also show the old lady to see it, don't be confused together, otherwise, how could you give such a ridiculous order.

It's the second wife, although looking at the old lady and Hong Qiqing, it doesn't look like a confused look. But she still said: "Old lady, even if this is true, we will notify the government." It's just a few pirates, and naturally there is an army to kill them. Where are you going in the middle of the night? The gates of the city are also closed, right? ”

Syllable!

The old lady slapped the table.

"I said, in a quarter of an hour, I'll go at once. If you don't come, from now on, you will be expelled from the red family, and you will never want to get a penny from me again. ”

"Remember, it's just a quarter of an hour. Let's go, Seventh Sister, let's go to the carriage first! ”

After speaking, the old lady took Hong Qi and left.

"What now?"

The eldest lady has no master, and looks at the other wives and says.

The third lady frowned, and the fourth lady bit her lower lip.

The second lady walked out: "I'll do what the old lady said." ”

As soon as the second wife left, the fourth lady immediately said, "Let's listen to the old lady." The old lady always walks her word. said that if he didn't go, he would be expelled from the red family, and he would definitely do it. ”

The two wives said that they were leaving, and the eldest wife and the third wife naturally didn't want to lose their family property in vain and be expelled from the house. Anyway, take the silver ticket with you, and come back when the time comes. At most, there is nothing to lose by running for nothing.

Several wives went to call someone, but in the big room, Hong Junliang was called out by a friend to eat and drink, and he hasn't come back yet. The eldest lady only brought the red five.

The people in the second, third, and fourth rooms are all together.

Even the youngest tenth brother was held by the fourth wife.

A quarter of an hour later, the masters of the Hong family left the Red Mansion in a carriage and hurriedly left the Red Mansion with five or six courtyards headed by Zhang Huyuan, and went straight to the city gate without looking back. Although the city gate has been closed, the old lady has contributed some money, and the Hong family is a big local family, so the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate will give some face and let them go.

It's just that I can't figure it out, why did the Hong family leave all the time at night? It's like running for your life. It's weird. However, looking at the big ingot of silver in his hand, he smiled beautifully again. It doesn't matter what his red family is, it's good that he has this silver. The city gate official hummed a little song and went up to the castle tower with a twist.

And just after the masters of the Red family left, Cedar also passed on the old lady's order to disperse all the people of the Red Mansion and let them go home and come back on the third day of the New Year. And those who have already decided to leave do not have to come back.

The people were talking and confused.

Besides, how can anyone leave in the middle of the night?

"Cedar girl, what the hell is going on?"

"Yes, it's a big night, my house is still in the countryside, where can I go?"

At this moment, I suddenly heard screams outside.

"Oh no! Robbers have killed people! Strong ......"

Only then did he scream, and the second one was not finished, and it suddenly broke off. It was as if the rooster's throat had suddenly been cut off, and the sound stopped abruptly, which was creepy.

Cedar couldn't care about anything, so he ran away.

And not long after, a group of fierce men in black broke in with a long scimitar dripping with blood.

"What about the owner of this house? Give it all to me! ”

At the same time, throw a person to the ground.

It was a stone, one of the guards sent by the Red Mansion to monitor the movements of the Zhou family's courtyard, his stomach was cut open, and his intestines flowed out.

Outside, ghosts and wolves howled everywhere.

The pirates killed people and set fires in the county town, and did all kinds of evil.

The miserable cries of the people shook the heavens and the earth. The Hong family looked back in amazement, only to see that the flames were soaring to the sky, burning the sky red.

"It's good to listen to the old lady, otherwise, this time it would be over."

The third lady was full of joy, saying that the old lady hesitated for a moment, but she was afraid that they were the ones who were screaming and crying in the county town at this time.

The second wife and the fourth wife also broke out in a cold sweat.

"Mother, why is it so noisy?"

The tenth brother in the arms of the fourth wife said in a daze, his round face flushed. When he came out, Mrs. Fourth wrapped him in a quilt, and at this time, he woke up.

"It's okay, go to sleep."

The fourth lady looked at him lovingly and said softly.

The old lady held Hong Qi's hand coldly, and said again and again: "Fortunately, Seventh Sister, if it weren't for you, this time, our Hong family would be finished." ”

And the eldest lady's side-

"How so? How so? The eldest lady hugged Hongwu and kept trembling: "Liang'er, Liang'er, he will be fine, right?" The pirates weren't going to kill him, were they? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, mother, my brother is not in the house, maybe it's safer."

"No, I'm not worried, I'm going back! I'm going back! ”

"Mother!"

Red Five hugged the eldest lady tightly, and both of them burst into tears. The eldest lady's eyes were full of despair, and she kept saying, "If Liang'er dies, I don't want to live!" I don't want to live either! ”

The cries of the two men caused a chain reaction, and then, the cries kept ringing out. But it was a few concubines and concubines, and the incident happened suddenly, and the old lady only asked a few ladies to call them, but as for those aunts, they were left in the Red Mansion. In the eyes of the old lady, the aunt is no different from the slave, at this critical juncture, the more people she brings, the easier it is to leak the news, and the slower the speed. The old lady didn't even bring her favorite girls, Cedar and Crane, let alone the aunts she couldn't even think of?

In the night, the Red family's convoy moved forward rapidly.

And a team of people has just left Qinghe County.

"Chase!"

"Be sure to catch the Red Family."

The leader of the man in black ordered, and the red fire reflected on her face, and it was none other than Feng Gu. Her expression remained as cold as ever, and only those familiar could see the anxiety in her eyes.

It was discovered by the people of the Red family and escaped.

This matter is messed up.

It's all those stupid pirates who obviously explained to them that they were staring at the Red Family, but they only stared at it during the day and withdrew at night. was also found and followed to the Zhou family's courtyard.

If she hadn't found out about the stalking, I'm afraid that by tomorrow daytime, the Hong family would have disappeared long ago.

"Don't worry, Miss Feng, they can't run."

The bearded man in black patted his chest and said, "My brothers and I will catch them all for you like chickens." Brothers, follow me to catch the beauty and have fun! ”

All the men in black laughed.

A group of people chased forward at a gallop.

This chase lasted for half an hour. Finally saw the shadow of the convoy. The pirates were overjoyed, and pursued them with all their might, and when they saw that the distance was getting closer and closer, they saw the coachmen swing their swords and cut the ropes. The carriage fell to the side, and several coachmen rode their horses, so fast that they suddenly pulled away again.

The night wind blew the voice of the leading coachman: "Our old lady said, the great gift of the Zhou family, my red family is unforgettable." You don't have to send it. ”

The bearded man opened a few curtains of the car again and again to see that it was empty, who was there?

At this time, all the people of the Hong family were on a boat, and there were more than 20 people, squeezed a little, but after the great sorrow, there was nothing to ask for.

Especially after Zhang Huyuan came back to report that those thieves really came to chase them, everyone was in a cold sweat behind their backs.

"Seventh sister, it's good to listen to your words and take a boat instead, otherwise I would really catch up with them."

"This week's family, even if they did not hesitate to collude with pirates, to destroy my red family, it is really despicable and shameless. They must not be spared. ”

"It's just that it's a famous family, and he actually did this kind of thing."

"Seventh sister, thank you for saving us."

Everyone thanked Hong Qi one after another.

Hong Qi smiled: "Wherever you are, it's all a family, you're welcome." Besides, although it was my idea, there was no old lady's quick decision; There was no second wife to mention that the nurses would continue to run in the carriage; Without the third wife knowing where to get the boat, and without Zhang Huyuan and them risking their lives, this matter would not have been possible. Don't thank me, or you won't treat me as a family. ”

The eldest lady saw everyone surrounding Hongqi with stars and moons, and kept praising her, thinking of her son, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable.
