Chapter Seventy-Six: The Stolen Gold

When Ji Tianyou and Yacub returned to Jiangfu with their sick bodies, Jiang Zili couldn't help but almost hugged her in front of everyone.

This feeling of regaining it made him understand the weight of Ji Tianyou in his heart, and he would not let go.

Jiang Yiruo and Lu Ying'er sent Ji Tianyou back to the room to rest, and couldn't help but ask in detail.

Jiang Yiruo hugged Ji Tianyou and said angrily: "You scared me to death, how can there be such a stupid person as you in this world, don't take risks for me in the future, I have a sense of proportion, you know?" ”

Ji Tianyou squinted her eyes and smiled, she was really tired, lying on the bed and letting the two of them fall. Although it is noisy, I feel extraordinarily happy, and I know my confidant, so it must be like this, if there is another lover, this day will be perfect.

She couldn't help but giggle when she laughed like this, causing the two of them to roll their eyes.

Ji Tianyou suddenly forgot that she was still having a fever, she turned over and stared at the two of them with a smile and said mysteriously: "Let me tell you a secret, I met a person who saved me three times and twice, do you think this is a kind of fate?" ”

Jiang Yiruo and Lu Ying'er glanced at each other and laughed, one of them scolded her for being a nymphomaniac, and the other scolded her for resting quickly, but they didn't take it seriously.

Ji Tianyou is not annoyed, anyway, it will be a long time coming, and she will have a good chat with them about the uncle who doesn't know the name.

Since the last time I came back from the cave, the tooth cub has run out again and again, Ji Tianyou simply took the chain and tied it, it whined and prayed like a child, and its eyes, which were already for no reason, had more pitiful looks.

Ji Tianyou patted its head helplessly and sighed: "I know that you are going to find an uncle, but you also have to have a limit, you can't run out just thinking about him, this is not good, you see me ......"

When the words came to her mouth, she suddenly stopped, did she want to express that she also missed that uncle? As soon as such an idea came out, Ji Tianyou felt a chill, how could it be, she shook her head and walked into the house.

After a while, he came out again, but he decided to let go of the tooth cub, dogs are different from people, and he can meet whoever he wants.

For no reason, I envied a cheerful dog.

Ji Tianyou has nothing to do, she is neither as desperate as a few aunts to fight for family property, nor as obsessed with missing someone as the fourth aunt, she is just bored and idle.

Suddenly, I thought of the secret passage, and decided to go down and take a look while no one was bothering.

Everything hasn't changed, and there's an extra line on the back of the note. The strong and powerful strokes are like familiar faces, it seems that the person has come, there is a demonic spirit, and he also calls himself an uncle, Ji Tianyou pursed his lips and smiled, and wrote again: "Since he calls himself an uncle, it seems that he is not too young, how to trespass without permission and be so arrogant, it is really not a gentleman's doing." ”

I don't know if it's out of anger or what, Ji Tianyou decides to reinvent this secret passage, she wants to surprise this person before the next arrival, and turn this place into a boudoir completely.

Anyway, being idle is idle, so I think about it and do it.

Ji Tianyou went in and out of the house, took a shovel and a wooden board and nails, knocked and beat, and was very busy, Xiaolian looked at it in wonder, saying that she wanted to help, but Ji Tianyou refused.

Xiaolian watched from afar, only to say that this family is getting more and more strange, the whereabouts of the tooth cub are uncertain, and the sister behaves strangely, she pouts her little mouth and honestly behaves as her own errand, and never lets anyone approach.

After a lot of effort, she finally clapped her hands with satisfaction, Ji Tianyou looked around at the secret room she had renovated, and kept nodding, this was amazing enough, she was sure to make people startle.

All the decorations, even the flaws, Ji Tianyou came to see it day by day, but for dozens of days, there was no movement.

It seems that that person will never come again, and Ji Tianyou feels that his efforts have been wasted. Even the tooth cub has stopped for the past few days, wilting and lying in its kennel to recuperate.

On this day, Jiang Yiruo, who was dressed in military uniform, broke into the door and casually threw a big bag of things to Ji Tianyou, Ji Tianyou hurriedly put it on the table to take a look, and hurriedly covered the mouth of the bag, and asked in panic: "Where did so much gold come from?" ”

Jiang Yiruo sat on the chair, knocked Erlang's leg, and said disdainfully: "Of course it was robbed." ”

"Who robbed it?" Ji Tianyou frowned and thought, who would have so much gold.

"If you are an official, you don't have to worry about it." Jiang Yiruo took a big sip of a glass of water and said, "This is what I gave you, you put it away, don't let others find out." ”

"My goodness." Ji Tianyou touched the gold, she never dreamed that she would be so rich, but greedy for money is greedy for money, she was not dizzy, and asked uneasily: "So much gold, when will I be able to spend it, put it here for me, can I sleep peacefully in the future?" ”

Ji Tianyou didn't ask what was going on with the gold, since the last time Jiang Yiruo single-handedly went to the ammunition depot, she understood that people really can't be compared, what she is afraid of may be an understatement in Jiang Yiruo's place, and the friend she believes is not an ordinary person after all, so she will not use common sense to measure.

After Jiang Yiruo drank a few glasses of water, he took the horsewhip and was about to leave, after thinking about it, he turned back to Ji Tianyou and said, "If you don't have any interest, you want to end your life like this, and I have nothing to say." However, if you have other plans and want to leave this house, then this gold is enough for you to be happy and happy, and you don't need to thank me. ”

Jiang Yiruo threw a wink at ease and left with a smile.

Saying this is like a stone in my heart finally falling, relaxed and comfortable. It was she who pulled Ji Tianyou in, and she was obligated to let her climb out again.

Ji Tianyou doesn't know this, and she doesn't care about this, she is very satisfied with her current life, no worries, no gains and losses, thinking of Su Xiaoman's opportunities are getting fewer and fewer, no longer heart-rending pain, no worries about scratching her ears and cheeks, occasionally heartbeat, occasionally in a daze, it has nothing to do with him.

Ji Tianyou put the gold under the bed board of the secret room. She thought that if this family was broken up in the future, she would not have to fight for the family property, so she would leave calmly, go back to her old house, buy a piece of land, hire a few people, and live a happy life, which is also very good.

Xiaolian hurriedly broke into the room and said in a panic: "Sister, have you heard, the treasury of the government has been stolen, and the strange thing is that only a little gold has been lost, and everyone is guessing who is so powerful, this is a clear provocation." ”

"Gold?" Ji Tianyou is a little disheartened, isn't it her that?

"But isn't it, the gold in the vault is official, this thief specializes in stealing ordinary circulation, you have to know how long you have to stay in the vault, look for it carefully, this is simply a thief." Xiaolian said excitedly, her adoring eyes couldn't help but emit a flickering light.

The money that Ji Tianyou has seen the most should be the newly circulated silver bills of the national government, but the silver bills are changed too frequently, and they may change again one day, so people still value the real gold and silver treasures in private.

With so much gold, no matter how much the political situation changes, it will be able to sit still. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Jiang Yiruo was really good to him.

The treasury was in deficit, but no one dared to report it, and all the officials in Liuzhen were silent. The matter of the ammunition depot has made the superiors furious, and now this matter is out again, if it is reported, the black gauze hats of this wave of officials will not be able to keep, and they would rather take it out of their pockets to make up the number than take this risk.

The entire Liuzhen attributed all these things to Humen Mountain, the bandits who were already famous are now even more famous, and there is an endless stream of thieves who come to defect, and the door is like a market.

Since then, the people around Liuzhen do not believe in the government, but are even more afraid of Humen Mountain.

On this day, Jiang Zili came back with his teeth cub in his arms and went directly to the gate of Ji Tianyou's courtyard, if it wasn't for Xiaolian to stop him, I am afraid he would have broken in.

Ji Tianyou had just come out of the secret room, and when he heard the argument outside, he poked his head out to look.

Jiang Zili saw her, and said to Xiaolian angrily, "Can you let me in now?" The master and servant were mysterious all day long. ”

Ji Tianyou invited him to sit in the room, and Jiang Zi left and didn't take one more step forward, as if he was taboo about something.

"What, do I have a ghost in this house?" Ji Tianyou wondered.

Jiang Zili glanced at her, touched his nose and said, "The house is too dark, it's good in the yard." ”

Of course he won't tell Ji Tianyou, he is taking into account the agreement signed with Lu Ying'er, every time he sees her lightly, how painful the torture he has to bear behind his back, he is more reluctant to see Jiang Yiruo than his business name, the look at him always makes him inexplicably worried, the more he can't get close to Ji Tianyou, the more he can understand Jiang Yiruo's sorrow.

Ji Tianyou shrugged his shoulders and let him go, so he asked Xiaolian to come into the house and move a stool for him.

Jiang Zili hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No need, I brought it back when I saw the tooth cub swaying outside, who knew that this guy didn't appreciate it, and lay dead or alive in front of someone else's courtyard gate." ”

"In front of someone else's courtyard?" Ji Tianyou's heart was shocked, and he thought to himself, didn't this tooth cub go after that uncle.

"It's not, Sister Lan Ling's yard doesn't open all year round, and the doors are rusty, when I see where it is, I think who's coming back, this guy, I miss my eldest brother." Jiang Zili was immersed for a while, and his nasal voice was a little heavy.

Ji Tianyou suddenly became interested, and couldn't help asking, "So, did your eldest brother often go to Sister Lan Ling's courtyard before?" ”

"It was a long time ago, and I beat her to get married...... By the way, how did you know Sister Lan Ling, the last time you had a nightmare, you were calling her name. ”

Ji Tianyou twisted her face to the side, she couldn't let Jiang Zili see that she was lying, so she only said lightly: "Last time I passed by her courtyard gate on a snowy day, there was a woman named Bai Jie who lent me an umbrella. Then I asked a few more questions curiously, and I had seen her photos. ”

Jiang Zili suddenly remembered the umbrella, no wonder it felt familiar at the time, nodded and then shook his head and said: "That courtyard is too angry, you don't want to go in the future, the last nightmare must be because of this." ”

Ji Tianyou frowned and said, "The anger is too heavy, how can you say it?" ”

"Didn't Bai Jie tell you how Lan Ling died?" Jiang Zili didn't want to mention this past, he felt that he might be one of the few people in the world who knew about it, and the grievances and hatreds he knew might never be the eldest brother would ever want to know the truth.

"Isn't it a difficult birth?" Ji Tianyou asked.

"Yes, neither the adult nor the child survived, and the cause of death is still unknown." This past has been suppressed in his heart for a long time, and whenever he goes to the grave of Lan Ling to worship, he can't help but sigh. He has found out the truth, but he doesn't dare to make it public, he is waiting for someone, waiting for the eldest brother to come back and write off the past.

And so on, that is, three years. He didn't know whether to continue to wait, the murderer was at large, living in his field of vision, at ease.

Jiang Zili was leaving, and his painful appearance was very clear in Ji Tianyou's eyes.

Ji Tianyou remembered that dream, the shattered blue spirit and the flesh blurred infant spirit, and he shuddered.

But she couldn't help but ask, "That'...... What is the name of Lan Ling's sister's husband? ”

Jiang Zili looked back suspiciously, and said weakly: "Shi Qingnan." ”

"Shi Qingnan, Shi Qingnan. It turned out to be called that. Ji Tianyou walked back to the house satisfied, and the tooth cub obediently followed, always wilting, not much interested.

Ji Tianyou squatted down and held its face and teased him mischievously: "Shi Qingnan, are you waiting for him?" But why do you like him so much, it doesn't make sense, don't you know that you want to find a trace of your master's breath from the old man? What a loving dog. ”

She hugged the cub and kissed it again and again, causing the cold dog to walk away impatiently.

Jiang Zili's words were taken as a deaf ear by Ji Tianyou, and she led the tooth cub to the white courtyard.

Bai Jie saw the tooth cub and wanted to touch its head, who would have thought that the tooth cub would be extremely vigilant, if it weren't for Ji Tianyou pulling the rope hard, I am afraid that Bai Jie would have fallen to the ground all of a sudden.

"Tooth cub, don't be naughty." Ji Tianyou was a little embarrassed, since this time, he no longer brought his teeth to this yard.

The more I came into contact with Bai Jie, the more strange I felt, she never seemed to eat, and there was no trace of fireworks in the huge kitchen.

Ji Tianyou sometimes brought her some snacks, but they were all offered high in front of Lan Ling's hanging statue by Bai Jie.

Ji Tianyou, who has big nerves, sees this as a kind of pedantic loyalty to the master, but Sister Bai didn't say it, so she didn't mention it. They chatted about the past, and also talked about some strange things that had just happened in Liuzhen, and they talked happily with each other, and before they knew it, it was evening.

Bai Jie couldn't help but look at the falling sun, Ji Tianyou knew that she should go, she was always very sensitive to the evening, if Ji Tianyou didn't plan to leave after this hour, Bai Jie also knew how to get up and send off guests.

This time, Ji Tianyou took the initiative to get up and say goodbye, and Bai Jie sent her to the door, but when she was halfway there, she found that she didn't take her coat, so she turned around and went back to get it.

After knocking on the door for a long time, no one opened it, thinking that everyone was familiar with each other, and there was no need to be informal, Ji Tianyou pushed the door and walked in.

It was dark, but there was no light in the white room, only a candle was lit in front of the statue of Lan Ling, and the dark red flames were swaying in a trance. (To be continued.) )
