Chapter 221: Speculation
Fortunately, it didn't take a long time, someone reported that the aunt and the cousin girl came over, Gu Qiluo and Aunt Xiang and others hurriedly went out to greet them, here Xu Lao Taijun also wanted to go out, and was held down by Qiuyue and Qiufang, only to listen to them: "The old lady almost fainted just now, this time you should sit and wait for the news, if you pass, you can't help much, but everyone has to worry about you, there is ** milk on the left and right, everything will be arranged, the old lady doesn't have to worry, wait here to hear someone come to report the news." β
Xu Taijun listened to the reason, so he had to sit patiently on the Luohan bed, and felt that after a long time, no one came, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Why haven't you come here at such a time?" What happened to Cherry and her daddy? This is intended to kill me in a hurry. After that, he had to get up again.
Qiu Yue hurriedly said: "The old lady is in a hurry, so she feels that it has been a long time, but in fact, it is less than a quarter of an hour, doesn't it mean that my aunt is injured?" Everyone has to inquire and ask, this delay, isn't it a good time, you are calmer, it's okay, if there is something, I'm afraid that the exclamation will come. β
It was so hard to press Xu Taijun, only half an hour later, only to see everyone hurrying back, one of them saw Xu Taijun, so he jumped up and cried: "Grandmother, my granddaughter almost can't see your old man, woo woo woo woo ......"
Mrs. Xu saw clearly that it was Peng Cherry who pounced on her, and she couldn't help but hug her and burst into tears, and everyone was busy persuading, so she said, "What's going on?" When I heard the news, I was half scared to death, saying that your father was injured and that you were almost taken captive. This...... Which mad beast did this? How is your daddy's injury? β
Peng Cherry wiped her tears at this time, because Xu Taijun held her hand tightly, and she sat down next to her grandmother. Sobbed: "Let my grandmother worry, my father's injury is fine, the doctor has bandaged it, and it will be fine in a few days." As for who did it, I don't know. Fortunately, it was my second cousin-in-law who came to see me that day, saying that some people outside the house were going back and forth, which seemed to have bad intentions. She persuaded me to come back that day. I don't want to, just thinking about the feet of the Son of Heaven, is there anyone who dares to do the business of killing people and selling goods? It's just that I have an extra heart. So he told the janitor to pay attention. After a few days, sure enough, she also said that there were always some familiar faces dangling at the door, saying that they were merchants, but they didn't look like merchants......
Don't wait to finish. I heard Li Shi say: "This must be someone deliberately stepping on outside your house." Now that you know, you should have told us earlier, moving over, how could there be last night's thrill? β
Gu Qiluo hurriedly said: "Sister Cherry has always been calm, and she has no evidence, only relying on a few suspicious people, and even whether these people are suspicious or not, after all, she didn't see it with her own eyes." So how can you listen to the wind and the rain? β
Peng Cherry lowered her head and said astringently: "Yes, that's what I thought at the time. If I can be sure that those people have bad intentions, I don't need my sister-in-law to say it, and I will naturally come and seek refuge in a hurry. β
Gu Qiluo said: "Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, you must remember in the future, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, and be careful to sail the boat for 10,000 years." Speaking of this, he suddenly patted his forehead and smiled: "That's it, I said the wrong thing, from now on, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing, this time you live for me obediently as soon as possible, and it is impossible for you to move out again, you say that if there is a mistake, won't it frighten people?" β
Peng Cherry hung her head and was silent, Gu Qiluo just nodded at her with this sentence, Xu Taijun was anxious over there, and hurriedly asked, "What happened later?" β
Peng Cherry took a deep breath and continued: "Listening to what the doorman said, although I can't be sure, I still have a precautionary heart, so I let people make some arrangements, dig a few deep pits around my father's room, sprinkle some jujube thorns, put water on the beams of doors and windows every day, and make a few sturdy servants strengthen night patrols...... I used it. β
Only then did Gu Qiluo understand why Peng Cherry and Master Peng were able to escape, it turned out that this ice and snow smart girl had already made some preparations. The jujube thorn is the wild sour jujube branch on the mountain, although the wild sour jujube rarely grows taller, but the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and there are countless barbs on the thin branches, so Peng Cherry dug a pit around the room, and also used this thing to protect the outside of the room, those thieves do not understand the situation inside, and it is inevitable that they will suffer a small loss under carelessness. This gave people time to call for help, and the current subordinates in Peng's mansion are all loyal servants, and everyone fought hard and shouted desperately, which scared off those thieves, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
After listening to Peng Cherry's narration, everyone was chanting the Buddha with their palms together, and Xu Taijun was even more frightened for a while, and held Peng Cherry's hand tightly. At this time, I saw Xiao Jiangzhong also walk in, the young man who had always jumped out of the air, but at this time, his face was tense, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of anger. But he hadn't forgotten the number of etiquette, and when he saw that the elders were there, he saluted in groups.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly asked, "Third child, how is your uncle?" Can it be settled? β
Xiao Jiangzhong said: "The settlement is complete, according to what the second sister-in-law said, I cleaned up the Tingtao Courtyard, and let my uncle live there first, my father also came back, and I was very shocked and angry when I heard about it, and I was talking to my uncle at this time." The doctor said that it was just a flesh injury, there was no major problem, and it would be fine after a few days of recuperation, and he also asked him to prescribe medicine, and Xiao Dunzi had already gone to the pharmacy to grab medicine, please rest assured that grandmother and cousin. β
Xu Taijun's heart can be regarded as falling into his stomach, but when he thought of what happened to Peng's Mansion last night, he was still shocked, and said angrily: "You go and sue your Lao Tzu and ask him to find someone to check it carefully, at the foot of this Tianzi, there are such bold bandits, can you pay it back?" β
Xiao Jiangzhong said: "There is no need for the old lady to say, my father said that he must be strictly investigated and will not be tolerated." At this time, I was talking to my uncle, and after understanding the situation, I went to Shuntianfu. β
Mrs. Xu nodded, and here Gu Qiluo said: "Sister Cherry was frightened last night, although she escaped at this time, I am afraid that she is also frightened and tired, and it is not suitable for living alone these days, it just so happens that I am the only one living alone in my courtyard now, and I am also very lonely, it is better to let my sister go over to live for a few days first, and be a companion with me, what does the old lady think?" β
Xu Taijun nodded and said: "This is very good, you can persuade your sister well, let her stay here, and she can't go back to Nafu." Even her father lived in the house for a while, and when his injuries healed, he would talk about it for a while. Alas! That is, his noble temperament, let him live here, I am afraid that he will not be comfortable, otherwise there are only two father and daughter left, so why not be here with us? β
Peng Cherry whispered: "Grandmother, there is no such reason. β
"Reasonably, you father and daughter almost died." Mrs. Xu glared: "Is truth more important than life?" β
Peng Cherry bit her lip and didn't speak. Mrs. Xu also sighed, how could she not know? No matter how good they are to Father Peng and Peng Cherry, it is difficult for people like them to get rid of the feeling of being under the fence, so this matter is unsolvable.
was distressed and sad, so he listened to Gu Qiluo and said: "Old lady, don't worry, according to my speculation, those people should just be aiming at Sister Cherry, and my aunt will be desperate to protect my sister and be injured by thieves." As long as my sister lives in our house for a long time, and when things change, even if I want to come to my aunt and move out, no one will beat an old man's idea. β
Aunt Xiang also said: "**Grandma is right, don't worry, the old lady can rest assured, my aunt has a breeze on her sleeves, and there is nothing else at home except for many books, what do those Jiangyang thieves know?" Isn't the picture a treasure of gold and silver? I'm afraid that they don't know who happened to see the cousin before, so they ...... Now as long as my cousin lives in our house, my aunt will be safe. β
Peng Cherry blushed, knowing that Aunt Xiang's unfinished words were alluding to the gangsters wanting to rob the sex, thinking of the danger of last night, she couldn't help but reddened her eyes all of a sudden. I heard Gu Qiluo say again: "Okay, early in the morning, the old lady was scared by the news, so hurry up and drink some soup to calm your nerves and take a good rest." I'll also take Sister Cherry back and let her get a good night's sleep. β
Mrs. Xu hurriedly said: "Also give this child some soup to calm the nerves and replenish qi, poor Jian'er, she must be frightened, not to mention that she is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, it is my old woman, what has she not experienced for decades?" When I heard this, I was terrified. β
Gu Qiluo said "I know", and told Qiu Fang and Qiu Yue to serve the old lady well, and then withdrew with everyone.
Li and Xiao Jingshu Xiao Jingyue pulled Peng Cherry and couldn't help comforting her, Aunt Rong and Aunt Min also stepped forward to hug and comfort for a while, here Gu Qiluo and Aunt Xiang said: "Auntie, go over and sit there?" Because of the busy Chinese New Year, we haven't sat and talked together for a long time. β
Aunt Xiang said happily: "Okay." After speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "Grandma, do you think this thing is a little strange? β
Gu Qiluo nodded and said, "It's very strange. Since I entered Beijing, I have not heard of this kind of thing happening at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is actually taking advantage of the second half of the night when people are asleep to openly rob people and goods, in the past, those cases, at most, took advantage of the dead of night to steal some property, and most of the ordinary people's families suffered, although our old mansion was not a prominent family, but it was also a high-ranking family, how could someone suddenly have its idea? β
Aunt Xiang muttered: "I also said the same, although the people living on the street of our old house are not high-ranking officials, but most of them are military attachΓ©s, and these bandits should not pick such a place to attack anyway." But if it wasn't the bandits, who did it? β
"The bandits must be bandits, but in my opinion, these bandits are not those Jiangyang thieves who kill people and oversell goods at will, there must be someone behind this." (To be continued......)
