Chapter 6: I Sleep You

"Jue'er, my sister is frightened, you stay in the 'Xianle Pavilion' to accompany her. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Niang went to entertain guests, but she couldn't sweep away the old lady's interest. The eldest lady looked at Su Jue.

Su Jue nodded, "Jue'er listens to her mother." ”

The eldest lady appeased Su Mo again, and then left with Mama He and the others.

……

"Mo'er, tell the second brother, where did the thief escape?" Su Jue continued to ask.

Su Mo pointed to the right and pointed to the wide open window, "Over there." Second brother, that thief knows martial arts, tiptoeing, jumping out like a fish......"

"Mo'er, don't worry, the second brother will definitely catch him! Don't think about anything, just get some rest. Su Jue carried Su Mo back to the bed, covered it with a pink embroidered brocade quilt, and tucked the corners of the quilt, "I will let people guard by the side, as soon as you wake up, the second brother will come back." ”

"Hmm." Su Mo nodded obediently.

Su Jue turned around to leave, but Su Mo pulled the corner of his clothes again, and said softly, "Second brother, Mo'er is still afraid." ”

Su Jue touched her forehead dotingly, "The second brother won't leave, just guard you to sleep by the bed, okay?" ”

Su Mo nodded, and shook his head again, "The thief is still in the house, and Mo'er is not sure." ”

"Don't worry, Yue Xiang has sent someone to secretly search the whole mansion." When the eldest lady came just now, he had secretly instructed Yue Xiang to lead people to search, and once he found a suspicious person, he would immediately arrest him and wait for his fate. Yue Xiang is his bodyguard and is responsible for keeping him safe.

"Is Brother Yue Xiang here too? Why didn't you see it? "Yue Xiang is the maiden nephew of Mrs. Su, who has been apprenticed to a teacher since he was a child, and has a strong kung fu. Eight years ago, Yue Xiang was taken to Su Mansion and became Su Jue's bodyguard. said that it was the guards, but everyone knew that this was Mrs. Su looking for a way out for the Yue family.

The ancestors of the Yue family were tenants, and life was very difficult. In Mrs. Su's father's generation, there were twelve brothers and sisters in the family, and two starved to death. The nearby barefoot doctor saw that the Yue family was pitiful, and took Mrs. Su's father as an apprentice. Mrs. Su's father seized this opportunity, studied medicine diligently, and finally led the Yue family to live a healthy life. Medical skills not only saved the patient, but also saved the Yue family.

It is precisely by virtue of medical skills that the Su and Yue families have become in-laws. Speaking of which, there is another relationship here. Back then, the old lady of the Su family went to Chaozhou to catch up with the goods, and on the way back to Anyang, she suddenly fell ill, which scared everyone's souls. It happened that Mrs. Su's father passed by collecting medicine and saved Mrs. Su's life. The Su family thanked the Yue family for saving their lives and married the daughter of the Yue family, which is now the old lady of the Su family.

The Yue family relies on the medical skills of their ancestors, and their lives are nourishing. can be compared with the Su family, one cloud, one in the mud. And the descendants of the Yue family have no worries about food and clothing, and they have long lost the hard work of their ancestors who have worked hard day and night, and the medical skills of one generation are not as good as the generation. Yue Xiang is the most clever and capable person in the Yue family's generation, but if he continues to stay in the Yue family, he can only live in confusion in the future, and if he follows Su Jue, he will definitely be rich and noble. Comparing the two, it is clear which is better and which is inferior.

Su Jue is talented, he can write poetry at the age of three, and he can write at the age of seven, and it is Mr. Anyang Da Confucian Tao who teaches him. Mr. Tao was full of wealth, and in his early years, he was an official in the court, but because he was not used to seeing some officials deceive his superiors and subordinates, he resigned angrily and returned to his ancestral hometown of Anyang to live idlely.

Mr. Tao once asserted that Su Jue's future is limitless. When Mrs. Su heard this, her heart was full of joy, and there were only two people before and after Mr. Tao's appreciation, both of whom were from the Su family, how could she be unhappy? The former is her third son, and the latter is her grandchild. It was at that time that Mrs. Su moved the idea of placing Yue Xiang next to Su Jue.

Su Jue tapped Su Mo's nose, deliberately kept a straight face, and said "seriously", "Now that you are a big girl, how can you casually let other men into your boudoir." ”

Su Mo pursed her lips, "I don't care, I just want to see Brother Yuexiang......"

Su Jue had no choice but to promise, "When he comes back, I'll let him wait in the living room." Su Jue knew that in his sister's heart, Yue Xiang was no different from the other brothers in the mansion. Yue Xiang treats her very well, but in this good, there seems to be a little more admiration.

The two siblings talked for a while, and Su Mo gradually fell asleep.

"You guard the nine girls, I'll go out first." Su Jue said to Su Mo's personal maids Chunhua and Qiuyue.

"Yes." Spring flowers and autumn moon responded in unison.

……

Yue Xiang's face was pale, and he led a group of guards to carry out a carpet search in the mansion. There are people who try to disadvantage Mo'er, if he is caught, he will definitely be beaten half to death. Thinking like this, his eyes became a little colder. The guards who followed him, feeling his anger, searched more carefully.

Su Tong returned to the firewood room and found that the old woman was gone. I searched everywhere, but I still couldn't find him. However, she noticed that the axe for chopping wood and the basket for carrying firewood were missing, and it seemed that the old woman had gone to the woods to collect firewood. This old woman is really strange, does the Su family's firewood need to go up the mountain to cut it in person? For a family like the Su family, the amount of firewood used is amazing, and self-sufficiency is absolutely impossible, so they can only purchase it from the market.

Like other large households in Anyang, there is also a forest behind the firewood house in Sufu. The Great Zhou has the custom of spring hunting, when the spring flowers bloom, go to the forest to hunt prey, one is to try the fresh, and the other is to remember the ancestors. The Great Zhou people believed that their ancestors were extremely brave hunters, and hunting was a necessary skill for hunters.

Su Tong remembered that when she was a child, her father and mother often took her to hunt in the forest. Both father and mother know martial arts, and the techniques are excellent, and every spring hunt must be full of harvest. One year, my mother made a jacket for her with a white fox called, which was snow-white and flawless, and it was unusually soft and warm to the touch, and she was reluctant to wear it. Later, I never had a chance to wear it again.

Su Tong was immersed in the past, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth. Unaware of her, a man in black stumbled up behind her. When she heard the sound and wanted to look back, the man had already covered her mouth with one hand, and with the other hand he held a bright knife around her neck, dragging her backwards.

Su Tong wanted to struggle, but heard the man coldly threaten, "If you dare to move again, I will kill you!" ”

Su Tong was so frightened that she didn't dare to move anymore, so she could only let the man drag her into the woods. His eyes kept glancing, hoping to see the people who had come to the rescue. Soon, she saw people in the distance, but they didn't seem to be coming this way, but in the other direction.

"You want to catch me, no way!" The man behind him obviously also saw the guards of the Su Mansion and said disdainfully.

There were more and more trees around him, and the fear in Su Tong's heart also increased. Deep in the mountains, strange man,...... Could it be that the tragedy of the previous life is going to be repeated? No, no, never!
