Dong Xiucai didn't wait to hear this, he had already fallen to the ground, his face was pale, and it was obvious that he had fainted. Old man Cao also held on to the table and panted, the so-called children are the stomachs of the heart, and having one more will require many worries.

Dong Xiucai had a messy life in the first half of his life, and almost lost a pair of good children, living on the island for the past ten years, but he figured it out, and he valued the eldest son and eldest daughter more and more. Especially being the eldest daughter of the princess, it is simply his pride. On weekdays, when I hear people mention the goodness of my daughter, the old man can happily eat two more bowls of rice. Even Niu muttered a few sour words behind his back, and he was directly sent to the shore to live with his youngest son who had a family.

At this moment, I suddenly heard that the eldest daughter jumped into the sea, and I didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and the old man's intuition was really a bolt from the blue, and he couldn't stand it at that time.

Old man Cao is even more sad, he has no children in his life, but fortunately, God has mercy on him and has a good heart, and he has a prince as a son, and his daughter-in-law is filial like a daughter. He longed to wake up laughing at night from his dreams. Now, the son committed suicide, the daughter-in-law jumped into the sea, and the good family was immediately dispersed. Old people lose their children, white-haired people send black-haired people, the world is miserable!

Everyone was panicked when they saw this, and they couldn't care about being shocked, so they helped the two old men to sit up first, this poured herbal tea, and that soothed the front heart, and finally woke up the two old men.

Master Dong has the most important demeanor on weekdays, but at this time, he has already thrown his head behind, crying with snot and tears.

"My Sister Rong, what's going on, why can't you come back when you go out well?"

Old man Cao also cried so much that he beat his chest, "My son, who killed you." Come back, Daddy will die for you, Daddy won't live anymore..."

Everyone was sad when they heard it, and they couldn't help but shed tears. Mr. Yang had seen some big scenes in the end, and he glanced at it a few times and saw that it was so noisy that it didn't attract others, so he whispered comfortingly, "Two old brothers, this is not the time to cry." The prince and the princess have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely get out of the great trouble and return safely as soon as possible. But this matter can't be spread, otherwise the whole island will be panicked, and something bad will be done. The second aunt and Juncheng are not on the island, and the two of you still have to support the whole family. ”

Uncle Wang also persuaded, "Big brother, Brother Dong, Mr. Yang is right. I don't think the prince and Sister Rong are short-lived, they have come over with all the winds and waves over the years, and this time it will definitely be fine. You must not fall, and expect you to make up your minds. If the old sister-in-law and our wife know, I don't know what will happen, and I have to hide it first. ”

Xu listened to the advice of the two, although the old man Cao's face was still a little bruised, but there was obvious brightness in his eyes, Dong Xiucai also struggled to sit down, and responded, "Yes, this matter can't be said, before Sister Rong and the prince come back safely, we have to help them guard their home." ”

Everyone was relieved a little and reunited to discuss countermeasures. The shipwrights and maids who fled back with Old Man Chen must not be released casually, but it is not good to stay on the ship all the time. The best way is that the boatmen still follow the red horse boat to the sea to search and rescue, and the maids and servants find a yard to settle down, and do some small work that does not need to go out of the house on weekdays, and then release it when the matter is clear.

The rest of the people must be kept strictly secret, and the business house must also send a letter to inform them, and Dong Ping and Zhang Yang must also be recruited back. The three children who secretly ran away to play in Jiangnan must be found even more quickly, so as not to be harmed by the wicked again. Of course, the most important thing is to send someone to find Mr. Feng, who is wandering abroad. Take 10,000 steps back and say, that is, Dong Rong and his wife really have three longs and two shorts, and only Mr. Feng can hold down the position, keep most of the industry, and hand it over to the three children.

After several old men discussed and agreed, they sent Chen Haili to find Wang Er, the big housekeeper on the island, when the five brothers and sisters of the Wang family came to the island in a carriage together, Wang Er was only half an adult. Wang Da is honest and wooden by nature, he doesn't want his younger brother to be a shrewd character, he is very measured and sleek, Zhang Yang took his wife and children ashore to take over the business house the year before last, so he recommended him to be a big housekeeper, but he also took care of the island neatly.

Mr. Yang briefly told the matter, and Wang Er's face was also pale with shock, but he immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Our five brothers and sisters of the Wang family have been deeply favored by the owner since they bought the Four Seasons Garden. ”

"Good boy!" Mr. Yang helped him up and told him what had just been agreed upon.

Wang Er responded and hurried down to make arrangements, the red horse boat going to sea to add clean food and fresh water, to arrange a remote and quiet courtyard for the maids and servants, he really didn't have the time to leave the sadness.

Old Man Chen's ancestors and grandchildren also hurriedly went back to put on the arrangements, and Old Man Cao took out a small silver plaque from his collar and said in a low voice, "This is what was left for me before the pillar went ashore, tell me, if something happens on the island, take this sign to the cliff to dispatch manpower." ”

When Mr. Yang heard this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He guessed correctly, the king of Zhongshan lived on an isolated island, and it was impossible not to leave some back roads and manpower for himself. The old shipwright had already said that those assassins were powerful, and they were not something that ordinary people could resist, whether they went to sea to search or went ashore to search, they needed manpower.

But when a few old men rushed to the secret camp on the other side of the cliff, they were a little disappointed, there were less than 100 people left in the huge camp, and if they only guarded the island, it would be barely enough. But if you put it on the sea and the whole Daqi to search, it is really stretched.

However, at this time, I really can't complain too much, after all, no one expected such a disaster to happen, otherwise it would be safer to stay on the island.

One order after another was issued, and of the three red horse boats, only one was left to guard the island, and the other two went to sea under the leadership of Mr. Yang and Master Dong.

Mrs. Cao has been infected with the wind and cold in the past few days, although she doesn't say anything, she is faintly looking forward to her son and daughter-in-law coming back soon. People are always afraid of death, and they always feel that if they lose their breath, they will have to have children to die.

As a result, when I heard my old man say that his son and daughter-in-law not only did not come back, but went to the mainland to play. The old lady was so angry that she didn't drink the medicinal soup anymore, and pouted and played a childish temper.

Old man Cao's heart was like being fried in hot oil, but he couldn't tell his wife, so he could only coax patiently, under the pretext that the three little grandsons ran out to play, and his son and daughter-in-law rushed to arrest people.

When the old woman heard that her three favorite grandchildren were involved, she would be annoyed, but she began to worry that the naughty grandchildren would be punished.

Not to mention how everyone blocked the news and searched closely, only to say that on the picture of a thousand miles away from Taoyuan Island on this day, two big ships were coming one after the other. Although the hull of the ship is very dilapidated, the top of the mast is a flag embroidered with the word "official" flying in the wind.

And Dong Rong was lying in the smallest cabin in the bilge at this time, Xu is her life should not be extinguished, she resolutely jumped into the stormy sea that day, but was not drowned, but met this passing official ship at dawn and was rescued.

However, after a night in the sea, despair and coldness completely knocked her down, and she still had a high fever for two days on board, her face was as red as fire, and her lips were chapped and chapped, which was really miserable.

An old lady with gray hair was now covering her forehead with a rag dipped in water, and listening to her whispers in her mouth, she couldn't help but sigh, "Another poor man, I don't know what kind of disaster I suffered to end up in this field." ”

A twelve- or thirteen-year-old half-year-old boy leaning on the side of the bed seemed to be a little annoyed, and was about to speak, but Dong Rong woke up with a scream.

"Pillars!"

The half-grown boy was so frightened that he couldn't help but shout, "You've been shouting for two days, and you won't let people rest!" ”

Dong Rong stared at the dark plank in front of her for a long time, before she woke up a little, and the memory of the previous accident gradually came to her heart, and tears immediately fell in her eyes, "Pillar, no, I'm going to find it..."

"Girl, you're sick, you can't move!" The old lady glared at her little grandson fiercely, then helped Dong Rong sit up, and said softly, "Although the old woman doesn't know how you fell into trouble, but now that you have finally picked up a life, you must take good care of it." As long as there is life, it will always be fine. ”

Dong Rong's body was really weak, and she just moved her body, and she was already dizzy at this moment, so she leaned back on the head of the bed and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, where is this?" Did you save me in the sea? Ever... Have you ever saved another injured person? ”

The old lady looked at Dong Rong's eyes full of prayer, although she couldn't bear it, she still shook her head and responded, "No, the day before yesterday, I only saw you floating on the sea, and there was no one else." ”

Dong Rong really didn't want to believe the news, shook the old lady's hand vigorously, and asked, "Auntie, think about it, did you really not save others?" My husband is injured in the chest, and he is tall and handsome..."

The half-grown man snorted coldly, "You are so rude." In order to save you, my grandmother gave all the family heirloom jade pendants to those officials, not only did you not thank you, how could you complain..."

The old lady glared and scolded her little grandson, "Yao Ze, shut up, how can you scold the sick indiscriminately?" ”

The half-grown man pursed his lips, as if he was a little unconvinced, but he didn't dare to continue to speak.

The old lady turned her head and apologized to Dong Rong, "Girl, my grandson is still young and ignorant, you must not be like him." ”

Dong Rong also reluctantly accepted her sadness at this time, bowed her head and saluted the old lady, and said in a low voice, "Fang is that I am in a hurry and rude, and I haven't thanked my aunt for saving my life." Auntie, where is this, just now this little brother talked about the official errand, is this the official family's ship? ”

When the old lady heard this, a sadness flashed in her eyes, and she sighed and replied, "This is the official ship of the official family to distribute prisoners, and the place where it goes is Yazhou, the southernmost part of Daqi. ”

"Prisoner of sin?" Dong Rong's eyes widened in astonishment, and asked, "What happened to the eldest mother's family, and how did she get sent here?" ”R638
