In the study room of the east house of Suzhou City.

Yuan Baose shrank and continued to the young man: "Later, Childe has been drinking tea on the ground floor of Qingyin Pavilion and has not spoken. “

The young man's eyes were always focused on Yuanbao's face, his expression was unpredictable, making it impossible to guess his inner thoughts at the moment, and it was difficult to see the clues from his face.

Yuan Bao paused and said, "The little one is wiping the tables and chairs on the side, but the little one looks preoccupied when he sees the appearance of the child." “

Scratching his head, Yuan Bao tried to recall: "Childe opened his mouth and asked the little one to rest first, saying that he was tired after a busy day." "The little one didn't leave right away, and stood there looking at Childe, a little worried."

Yuan Bao pursed his lips and said: "I can see that the son still has something on his mind, the little one is closer and stops there, and the son asks the little one, how much money is left after going to the street to buy?" "During the day, we followed Gongzi to the store in the west of Suzhou City to buy some things, mainly some warm clothes."

Yuan Bao felt that it was necessary to explain this to his third young master, otherwise he couldn't figure out why the son suddenly asked about the money.

The young man frowned, his eyes looking at Yuan Bao deepened, and the expression on his face also became a little turbulent.

However, the next moment, the focus of the young man's question was something that Yuan Bao didn't expect.

He glanced at Yuan Bao from the corner of his eye, then turned his head sideways and said calmly: "Where did Xiaoling get the money?" ”

Yuan Bao was stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little nervous for a moment.

He thought about it carefully and felt that he could only tell the third young master the truth, so he lowered his voice and said, "When I followed Lin Gongzi to the street." He went to a gambling house once. ”

"If we don't go, we can't think of it, we can't think of Childe as a good player," he said. He paused again, "Childe won a lot of money, but he didn't linger much, so he accepted it when he saw it." ”

The young man shook his hands, took a deep breath and looked at Yuan Bao and said, "You go on, he asked about the silver money, and then what?" "Small. After listening to this, the little one handed the bag containing the silver money to Childe to count," Yuan Bao calmed down and said, "Before leaving." The small one added a little charcoal fire to the corner of the house, and it was obvious that Childe didn't want anyone to continue to disturb him. So the little one went back to his own house and went to sleep."

Yuan Bao talked to himself, until he stopped, and the other people in the room were silent.

Adele looked at her brother's expression. I could see that his nervousness was only a little more. took a step forward and said for him: "Third Young Master, the slave knows what happened later. “

Ade's tone sounded much more fluent: "In the morning, the slave maid went to Qingyin Pavilion to bring some food for the son, and the slave brother went to the staircase to call the son, but there was no answer." "We all think it's strange, because according to Childe's personality, there is no reason to sleep so deeply."

Not to mention Yuan Bao and Ade, even the Fu steward knows it very well!

Adei blinked her eyes and said, "Third Young Master, at that time, it was still the slave who was in charge." I went upstairs with my brother to check, but the building was empty. "The slave maid and the elder brother only saw a letter of credit on the table, and a small ornament pressed it." "Where is the faith?"

The boy clenched his fists. Sitting there, he asked with a heavy face.

Steward Fu hurriedly stepped forward and handed the letter to the young man with both hands!

The boy opened the letter and looked down, the light and shadow outlining his face.

Taking advantage of the moment when the young man looked down at the letter, Yuan Bao tilted his head and saw that the window of the study was not closed tightly, and quietly pushed Ade.

Adele looked back, hesitated, and walked to the window and raised her hand to close the window.

Her movements were very light, and her steps were even more light, and she barely made any sound.

At that moment, in the eyes of the other people in the study, the young man seemed to be immersed in some kind of atmosphere that he did not want to be disturbed.

Even if the silence is not long, it becomes extremely long in the perception of those around you.

After a while, the young man's eyes moved away from the letter paper, and he looked at the few people in front of him: "Master Chuan's order, from now on, Qingyin Pavilion does not need to send people to guard it." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Bao was stunned first, and Shaoqing reacted, the young man's intention was to let him leave Qingyin Pavilion as well.

Leave no one behind!

Just like when he first came to Suzhou, the original state of Qingyin Pavilion was vacant and uninhabited.

Originally, it was to take care of the diet and daily life of Lin Gongzi, who was temporarily borrowed to live in, so that Yuanbao went to Qingyin Pavilion.

Now that the guests are leaving, the arrangement proposed by the teenager is also reasonable.

It's just that Yuan Bao heard it at a glance, and there was an indescribable sense of loss in his heart.

"Third Young Master, do you want to send someone to track Lin Gongzi's traces along the northeast?"

Ah Fu thought about it repeatedly, and felt that it was most appropriate for him to pick out this sentence.

He figured out the mind of the third young master, and made suggestions on his own.

The young man looked at him fixedly for a few seconds, and then said in a deep voice, "I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

It was raining outside the window, and the weather on the mountain road to the northeast of Suzhou was not satisfactory at the moment.

In addition, it is night, and it is not impossible to track this matter, even if you want to do it, you must at least wait until after dawn.

The young man made up his mind in his heart, and his eyes and tone of voice when he looked at the people below were indifferent: "Master go to Qingyin Pavilion, don't disturb anyone." ”

With that, he got up and walked out of the desk.

The young man still held the letter in his hand, a move that surprised the rest, and as soon as he stepped out of the room, he quickened his pace, and disappeared in an instant.

It was still raining, and several people in the room looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

Adei and Yuanbao's eyes naturally focused on the Fu Steward, who was the person who could arrange things here except for the third young master.

Facing their expectant gazes, Steward Fu sighed and said, "Listen to the arrangement of the third young master, Yuanbao, you go back to the place where you originally lived." "Your sister Adele is still in the big kitchen."

"Still. I think the third young master definitely doesn't want to eat today, Ah Dai, you can make some simple snacks and take them to the study for a while. “

After thinking about it, the Fu steward said, "It must be the kind that can be eaten even when it is cold." ”

"As for Qingyin Pavilion. As before, regular cleaning is sufficient. ”

"Fu Steward, tracking things, you see" Adai didn't know where she got the courage, and finally couldn't help but ask this sentence.

"It has nothing to do with you, the third young master has his own decisions, and we can't guess his thoughts."

Steward Fu finished. He walked out of the door of the study and went in the direction of the backyard.

"Brother, do we want to go to Qingyin Pavilion to have a look?"

"That little rabbit is still in Qingyin Pavilion!"

Adele asked Yuan Bao quietly. She remembered what Childe had mentioned before leaving.

Didn't Childe personally say that the little rabbit was given to her to raise?

What's more, Adele really likes that little rabbit and wants to take it to the big kitchen, and most girls don't seem to have any resistance to this kind of cute little animal.

The latter looked at her hesitantly and said, "Sister." Or wait. Don't go just yet. “

Adele nodded knowingly

I followed the group into the woods, and I didn't go far, and sure enough, I saw the dead trees mentioned by the searchers.

A tall man in the group stepped up first, reached out and removed the sword from his belt, and then began to cut off the remaining canopy of the dead tree.

As soon as he moved, the others who came with him also took off their weapons.

I looked at a bright blade, and for a moment I shuddered at this group of people. Luckily, I never had a conflict with them.

It's just that these people can successfully pass the level. Did you do it the same way as me?

Or is their identity a little special, so they can be allowed by the people of the government.

The former is unlikely, and the latter seems even more bizarre!

Looking at their evasion of the battle of the king's division, it seems that they are not involved in the government.

Could it be that the big families in Nanhua Town came out to do business?

All sorts of speculations flashed through my mind, and until the truth was revealed, I could only deduce by guessing.

After all, from my point of view, I don't know the details of these people who meet this group of people.

"The back, it's you, what are you doing standing stupidly, come over to help."

The leader of the group handed me a dagger, and I was tempted to say that I had a similar one!

But as far as the eye could see, the dagger he handed me was much better than the one I had obtained myself at the blacksmith's shop, and shone with a dull cyan sheen.

With admiration in my eyes, I reached out and took it and tried it on the dead tree, and I was shocked!

It's so sharp, it's cut on a dead branch, if it's a human body, I can't help but think about it, and I have a cold shiver in a trance!

When a group of people do one thing at the same time, the efficiency is naturally incomparable to that of one person.

The progress was much faster than I expected!

After clearing the dead trees, they led the way to another nearby place, where the same dead trees had fallen to the ground.

The one who took the lead stepped forward to take a look, gave up one of the plants and said, "This is not good, it is eaten by insects, even if it can be moved over and put on the stream, something will happen." ”

Well, I thought to myself, it makes sense!

He turned his head and searched the neighborhood, nailing on another target.

This time, repeating the previous move, a group of people helped clear the canopy of the tree, so that the dead tree trunk that had fallen to the ground became part of the bridge.

After doing these tedious things, a bigger problem is in front of us, and we still need to do the next physical work.

It was a big project, and it took a lot of effort to carry the trunks of dead trees to the mountain stream, and then work together to build a bridge.

In the winter, just after the task of cleaning the canopy, everyone was sweating on their backs, including me.

The reasons why I don't dare to slack off have been mentioned earlier.

I hope that with this help, I can offer a ride to Nanhua Town with their steward later.

That way, I don't have to worry about not being able to get to town today!

I've learned the speed of their wagons before.

If you have a plan in your heart, you will have a goal when you do your work.

I became a diligent member of the team for the time being, doing hard tasks with the team.

The next step is to move the dead trees.

The leader took a thick rope from the wagon, tied it in a few places on the trunk of the dead tree, and then rested some of the thin branches that had been cut off and laid them on the ground.

I watched his every move the whole time.

Seeing him beckoning everyone to lift the trunk of the dead tree, he quickly realized that this was using a simple lever principle.

Fortunately, there is a trick, and the distance to the stream is not too far.

With their methods, it is generally possible to smoothly carry the dead wood needed to build the bridge.

I breathed a sigh of relief, raised my hand to wipe the sweat from my forehead, and the big guys worked together to complete the process.

Except for the steward boss who was guarding the carriage, he couldn't leave, because he was afraid that other cars would come later.

The rest of the rest are involved in this physically demanding task!

In the middle of it, another thought crossed my mind.

The bridge over the mountain stream would have been washed away by the swollen water after heavy rains, but these people seem to have a knack for building bridges, and may have happened the same thing before.

These experiences can only be gained through practice by people who need to go out and walk on the road for a long time, especially those who walk in the wild!

Didn't Wu Yu tell me when he was sheltering from the rain in the mountain temple that the plains at the foot of the mountain had been affected by flash floods?

Have they improvised a broken bridge to Nanhua Town more than once?

I was frowning and thinking, when suddenly, there was a shout from the leading group, and I was startled by the fact that my thoughts were pulled back in an instant!

When I looked closely, it turned out that there was a little obstacle ahead.

The team paused, replacing one of the injured members, and the rest continued to carry the dead tree trunk to the stream for its final destination.

It was easy to get to the stream, and everyone was relieved!

The most difficult process was completed, and at this time, next to the carriage, there were several cars that arrived one after another, most of them were residents of Nanhua Town.

As soon as I heard those people say hello, it dawned on me.

No wonder I can't tell how I feel when I look at these temporary team members, it turns out that they are from a dart bureau in Suzhou City.

The reason why I went north to Nanhua Town was because the employer of this trip was a big family from Nanhua Town.

Knowing the reason, it became easy to understand that they were carrying sharp weapons!

Not to mention the folk darts, sometimes the dart bureau has to transport some things for the government.

What's more, it is still a dart bureau from Suzhou, how can the guards guarding the city gate not let this group of people pass.

The people of the dart bureau went to Nanhua Town to pick up the darts, and they had to return the same way.

As a result, they were forced to repair the broken bridges on the road, because they had to cross them themselves.

It's really convenient for others and for yourself!

However, I learned from the other side of the story that the dart game's ability to listen to news is really not to be underestimated!

There is no movement in Suzhou City, and the people of the dart bureau can even hear the direction and route of the team that Wang Shi is traveling, which is really beyond my expectations! (To be continued.) )
