forty-two

Zhao Cheng took Xu Yu back to Liyuan, Shen Rong was originally worried that he would excitedly publicize this matter to everyone, but he didn't say a word, even Princess Rui didn't miss a word.

For Xu You, this time the war was not only to avenge her beating, but more importantly, she suddenly realized that the teapot was a real warrior. This guy usually doesn't see any other skills except for wagging his tail and being coquettish, but he didn't expect it to be hidden, and besides, he was still bullied by her for such a long time - Xu You felt a little guilty and uncomfortable when he thought of this.

She and the teapot soon became the best friends, and she no longer bullied it, except for the occasional charge on its back, and the rest of the time she treated it very kindly, and even lay on it when she took a nap. The parrot was suspicious of this, and it hid behind the pillar with its little eyes and secretly observed the two of them, puzzled and puzzled.

This coward, of course, could not understand the feelings that had once fought together.

Since the three-flowered cat fled into the wilderness, Xu Yu has resumed the habit of patrolling the fence every day, and the teapot now likes to follow, chasing and running under the fence. Xu You took some bacon from the kitchen, asked Cuiyu to wrap it in brown paper and take it to the wall, but she didn't eat it, and threw a piece to the teapot after walking for a while, and the teapot was even more inseparable from her......

The accident happened one morning three days later.

Early in the morning, after Xu You sent Zhao Chengjin away, she led the teapot for a walk as always, she climbed the wall, and the teapot followed with her tail wagging her tail.

Dogs are always easily attracted by something else, maybe it's a butterfly flying by it, maybe it's the sound of rustling from nowhere, the teapot will have a little trouble every few steps, either suddenly jump to the side to chase the bugs, or as if they have found something, they spread their paws and dig the ground, for a while, they don't find anything, and then they flick their tails and continue to walk forward as if nothing happened.

Xu You was very impatient at first, but after a few days, she slowly got used to it, she couldn't expect a dog to have the same IQ as her. While thinking, she squatted on the wall and poked her head to observe the movement of the teapot below, but she didn't pay attention, her head suddenly darkened, something covered her body, and with a hard pull, Xu You fell off the wall.

She let out a mournful wail, and in the darkness, something slammed into her head, and then, Xu Yu didn't know anything.

On the other side of the wall, the teapot raised its head in horror and said "Wang-" to the wall, but when there was no response, it quickly pounced in the direction of the wall, yelling......

The unusual barking of dogs quickly attracted the people in the house, and some people hurriedly called Liyuan to call people, and when Cui Yu came over and found that Xu You was gone, a quarter of an hour had passed.

"The snow is gone?" It was almost noon when Princess Rui got the news, and she was suddenly a little anxious when she heard the words, "Have you found it in the house?" King Qi-" She suddenly remembered that King Qi had already left Beijing, and immediately paused again, thought for a while, and asked, "Has anyone ever come to the mansion today?" ”

Cui Yu replied anxiously: "The slave and maid beckoned the people of Liyuan to search the palace all over the palace, but there was no trace of the snow ball. Xue Fei said that Xue Tuan walked around the palace with the teapot every day, and in the morning the teapot suddenly screamed violently, and the slave and maid hurried over, only to see that it kept screaming at the wall, and refused to leave. The slave climbed up to the wall again to see, and there were a few scratches on it, as if they were left by a snow ball. ”

Princess Rui already understood what she meant, and a burst of anger suddenly surged in her heart, "Someone took it away." "This is the Rui Palace, who in the capital has the courage to come to the palace to steal cats.

Cui Yu's little face was pale, tears were about to come out, and she said in a trembling voice: "The slave maid heard that someone outside has stolen a cat out of the house to sell, and if it looks good, it can be sold for a good price, if it is not good-looking and can't be sold, it will kill the meat seller......"

Princess Rui's face changed slightly, she took a deep breath and instructed Mama Su on the side: "Ask Steward Xu to take the post of the palace to Jingzhao Yin Yamen, there are many of them, and they are familiar with the road, so it is better to let them help than we don't know our heads." Brother Shun will come back in a while......" She rubbed her temples with some embarrassment, and said worriedly: "Bring him directly to Xuanning Hall." ”

If Zhao Cheng came back, he didn't know what the cat was going to cry about.

When the entire capital was busy looking for cats, no one knew that Xu You had been taken out of the city.

She was hit on the head, and her head hurt so badly that she couldn't even stand up. Of course, now she can't stand at all. She was covered in a hemp bag, muffled and breathless, with the sound of horses' hooves in her ears, and her body was jolting.

was actually yin! Xu You couldn't figure out for a while, who she had offended, so that someone dared to come to King Rui's mansion to catch cats. On the other hand, she was a little annoyed that she was so slack that she thought she was invincible when she ran away from a cat, and wandered around the fence for a few days, not noticing that someone was beating her - she didn't believe that someone had made it to her.

What did this man want to do when he caught her? If you just want her life, you don't have to risk transporting her so far. So, did you want to sell her? Last time, she heard from the mother-in-law of the flower and wood house that the price of cats like her is not cheap.

She was dizzy for a while, her head still hurt badly, so she simply didn't think about anything, and fell asleep with her eyes closed. In a daze, the horse finally stopped, and she was violently thrown to the ground, dragged for a while, and then stopped.

It was so quiet that he could even hear the whining of the wind sweeping across the open flatland, and Xu Yu guessed that he was out of the city. She didn't move, pretending to be unconscious, but her ears were pricked up to eavesdrop. Soon there was the sound of heavy footsteps, and the person next to her called out in a hoarse voice, "Fifth brother." ”

Old five? Xu You was suddenly excited, and he was so frightened that the sweat on his body came out. If it was really that old five, she would really not be good today. Can the fifth child let him go?

"Got it?" Lao Wu's hoarse voice sounded, and Xu You's heart suddenly fell to the bottom. His grandmother's legs, this guy is really vindictive, it's been so long, he can still kill a horse pistol, he can really bear it. He didn't come forward himself, hired someone else to go, and went out of the city immediately after he succeeded, even if the Rui Wangfu turned the capital upside down, I am afraid that he would not be able to find him.

Shibei three days, really impressive, the fifth bastard thing actually has a brain. Or is it actually someone who came up with the idea for him?

The middle-aged man who grabbed Xu Yu out of the city untied the sack and said to the fifth brother flatteringly: "Fifth brother, do you see which one?" After taking a hammer, I'm afraid I'll be dead by this time, you see, I'll bury her again, so that this thing won't get in the way of your eyes. ”

Xu You immediately pretended to be dead, lay motionless at the bottom of the sack, and kicked her impatiently by Lao Wu.

The fifth glanced into the sack in disgust, turned his eyes to the side, and cursed in a low voice, "Damn beast." While scolding, he kicked Xu You in the sack a few times, and when he saw that she was still motionless, he stopped, and said impatiently to the middle-aged man: "Take it away, bury it, find a river and throw it away." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and responded, then put the sack on his shoulder, said goodbye to the fifth child, and left in a hurry.

Are you really going to throw her in the water? Xu You was a little anxious, although she could swim, but she was injured in the end, and her physical strength was limited, if this person was thrown with a sack, she didn't dare to guarantee that she would escape alive.

The man carried the sack and walked unhurriedly for more than ten minutes, until he reached a small wooden house by the river before stopping, Xu You faintly heard the sound of the river flowing, and his heart was anxious. She was wondering if she would take advantage of the opportunity for him to put down the sack and rush out of the room, but the man suddenly spoke, "Old Yan, old Yan!" ”

Someone in the room answered in a low voice, and soon someone came out and asked, "What's the good thing?" ”

The man laughed, carried the sack into the house, and opened a crack for Lao Yan to see, "How about you look at this cat?" Tsk, this coat color, this body type, is not an ordinary cat. ”

Lao Yan said, "Yo-", stretched out his hand and took Xu You out of the sack, "It's quite heavy!" Where did you get that? ”

"Leave that alone." The man smirked, "You find a way for me to sell it, and I'll give you two percent." ”

"Three-seven-open." Lao Yan unceremoniously bargained, "This cat is not easy to sell, it is big, and those who can afford this kind of cat have to have small milk cats, and they have □□ it since they were young so as not to hurt the owner." Your cat is good-looking, but it's too big, ouch, I'm afraid it's almost ten pounds, what do you eat to grow so fat......"

What to eat, what to eat! Xu You was very angry, she knew that she was worried about her life, so she immediately became dishonest, and waved her claws unceremoniously towards the old Yan. Lao Yan was very vigilant, grabbed her two fat paws with his backhand, and looked at her with a little surprise, "This fat cat is quite cunning." ”

Fat your grandma's legs! Xu You bared his teeth and roared at him, and kicked him with his hind legs, but it didn't work. The middle-aged man hurriedly went into the house and found a hemp rope to come out, and tied Xu Yu tightly with three strokes and five divided by two, and his four legs were tied, and he couldn't move.

She was still too impulsive.

Lao Yan smiled "hehe" and patted Xu You's head, "This cat looks stupid, but I didn't expect it to be very strong and smart." You can't sell it, and you can raise it yourself. ”

She doesn't want to follow such a sloppy and obscene old man, she only likes the soft and cute little Zhengtai!

The middle-aged man's color changed slightly, and he whispered: "Lao Yan, this cat, don't let the fifth brother see it." ”

Lao Yan raised his eyebrows and guessed something, "What, this is what he asked you to catch?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "He used to be an errand in the palace, and there is a □□ chance that someone was plotting against him, but he poured his anger on a cat's head, and said it like a monster, as if the cat was a monster." Who believes in him! It's just for the sake of the face of the silver, and I went into the city by the way. ”

"Pole, you are so big, you dare to go to the palace to steal cats, don't kill you!" Lao Yan's color changed suddenly, and he subconsciously wanted to push Xu You out.

The pole said hurriedly: "It's just a brute, what's the matter." Besides, we are not in the city, so can the people in the palace find this place? Lao Wu originally wanted his life, but I saw that this cat was good and stayed, if you don't help, Lao Yan, I will go to find Old Man Qi. This cat has to be sold for ten taels of silver, and he can take three taels as soon as he changes hands, and he can still do it. ”

Lao Yan hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and still dragged Xu You, who was tied up with five flowers, and said in a low voice: "Okay, this cat will be handed over to me, and I will give you the money when I sell it later." ”

When the pole saw that he should get down, he was satisfied, grinned, and chatted with Lao Yan for a few more days, and then said goodbye and left.

After he left, Lao Yan moved a chair and sat in front of Xu You and stared at her, his eyes were very complicated.

Xu You realized that she might be sold quickly, she was a little anxious, her eyes widened and she looked at Lao Yan pleadingly, and her mouth screamed "meow meow meow". If she can speak, she must be patient to negotiate conditions with him, as long as he is willing to send her back to the palace, she can do anything.

Lao Yan sighed, stroked her back a little helplessly, and said in a low voice: "I don't dare to send you back, go back and find a good master for you." With that, he slowly got up and walked out, and locked the door with another click.
