Chapter Twenty-Three: The Silver Is Lost
Besides, Lin Bai knew that Nangu couldn't wait, and if he found Nangu earlier, then Nangu would have more life.
After exiting from the door of the young lady's room, he hurriedly inquired with a servant who was quite good, and the slave trader who was sold was at the end of the East Street, and I heard that the slave trader came from the west, and would only stay in Jiangnan for two or three days, and then he hurried to the capital in one day.
Time was pressing, Lin Bai didn't dare to delay, so he put all the silver bags that the young lady gave him between the cuffs, which was Nangu's life-saving money, and couldn't help but tighten his sleeves. Although it was getting late now, after all, it was in the center of the city, but it was also prosperous, and the slave dealer should not have slept yet, so he set off in a hurry.
There are not many people in the market, it is getting dark, most of them have gone home, and there are still night market stalls coming in twos and threes, although there are few people in the market, it is not deserted.
Lin Bai had an illusion, he always felt that someone was following him, and he couldn't help but clench his sleeves under his hands. While pausing and looking back, there was nothing out of the ordinary, as if I was thinking too much?
Lin Bai, who hadn't walked a mile and was sensitive, still felt that something was wrong. Only this time he didn't stop, but suddenly flipped around. Sure enough, there was a woman in a coarse cloth blue dress with a basket on the side of the road, which looked a little wrong!
This woman with the basket seems to have seen it somewhere, Lin Bai has a vague image in his heart, but he can't remember where he has seen it for a while. When he was about to look back again, the woman with the basket had already arrived at her side and pulled at the hem of her garment.
Lin Bai was suddenly frightened, his heart rose to his throat, and he was so frightened that he took half a step back, and at the same time put aside the woman.
"Childe, do you know how to go to the mansion?" The woman asked, still shy, with a harmless expression.
Ah, it turned out that I was looking for directions! Looking at this woman's appearance is not very outstanding, there are ten ** people on the street, it seems that she has a lot of heart, and her hanging heart has been put down.
"I'm sorry, I don't know, you can ask others!" Lin Bai waved his hand and said.
"Oh, thank you so much, Childe!" The woman looked disappointed, but she still didn't forget to bow her knees.
"Well, it's fine!"
The woman with the basket did not dwell on it any further, stepped aside, and went forward.
Hi! After a long time of begging, I always feel that it is right to be careful when I suddenly follow the young lady, but I am too suspicious! Continue to throw off his sleeves and walk forward, but I have to hurry.
When Lin Bai came back to his senses, he grabbed his cuffs, and suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong!
Cuff? Yes, flip the cuffs again, what about the money bag given by the young lady?
It's gone? It's gone!
Thinking of losing the money bag, Lin Bai wanted to die! The young lady trusted herself so much that she handed over all the life-saving money of Nangu to herself. But now, what are you going to do to talk back to the young lady? Lin Bai had the idea of using his head to fight for it.
Yes, there must have been something wrong with the woman just now, just ask for directions for no reason, and pull the man's sleeve! I was so stupid and didn't notice it.
The woman? I was about to chase after her, but where was the woman's shadow......
Lost the silver, Lin Bai didn't dare to go back to the post house at this time, not because he was afraid that Miss would beat and scold him, Lin Bai thought that Miss had suffered enough blows today, and if he went back at this time, wouldn't he be blocking Miss in vain? If the young lady is angry for a while, it will be her own sin.
Lin Bai thought that he couldn't get it back if he lost the money, but he had to do something to make up for it all night and all night now, and it was good to take care of Nangu.
Fortunately, Lin Bai didn't go back to the post house directly, and went to find Nangu, he didn't know, at this time, Nangu was also hanging out, and he couldn't let go of his own young lady in his heart, or he would have gone.
Back at the post house, there was no Nangu, and a little maid came to deliver food in the evening, saying that Lin Xiang had arranged to serve the young lady.
Looking at the new little girl, Lin Zhuyu didn't think of Nangu, and her red and swollen eyes were uncontrollable and tears were dripping again. Lin Zhiyu didn't touch the food, Nangu was sold, where did he still have the heart to eat? It's just that I don't know how Lin Bai's progress is? Is silver enough?
When Nangu came back, the Xiangfu naturally couldn't stay, so he set up a courtyard outside and opened a shop, so that Nangu could enjoy the blessings, and his thoughts drifted away unconsciously.
The next morning, Lin woke up in the rain, and he didn't sleep well this night, dreaming, a long dream that haunted him all night.
In the dream, I had been asleep in a coma, and there seemed to be a woman's cry next to me, very eager and lingering. It's just that no matter how much I want to come to my senses, I can't do it, it's like being crushed by a ghost and unable to move. I wanted to reach out and clear the smoke in front of me, but my mind was even more confused.
This dream is strange, if it is said that he is crying because of Nangu's incident, it can be regarded as a dream day and night, but in this dream, it seems that there are women crying about themselves, which is really incomprehensible.
Could it be before the crossing? I don't know, Lin Zhuyu simply let go of his mind and stopped thinking about it.
Besides, Lin Bai, he couldn't sleep well this night, and he was always worried in his heart, thinking about how to explain to the young lady that the silver was lost early tomorrow morning! Even if you are hard-headed, this is something that has to be said, I saw Nangu last night, but I pity myself for not having any money, Nangu can't wait......
It's that the young lady wants to beat and scold, and she admits it, if it's really a last resort, then you can only, you can only ......
As soon as Lin Yufu opened the door, he saw Lin Bai standing outside the door.
"Miss, Miss......"
"Lin Bai? Why did you come back so early? Nanku is back? Seeing that only Lin Bai came back alone, Lin Zhuyu couldn't help but look outside the house, there was no Nangu figure, she hoped that Nangu would stand outside the house at this moment.
"Miss......" Lin Bai knelt on the ground with a plop, and used his left and right hands together to fan his face.
"Miss, you beat me and scold me, it's all my bad ......"
Didn't find Nanku? When Lin Zhuyu saw Lin Bai like this, he suddenly had a bad idea in his heart!
"Found it, but ......"
"You get up and talk first, what the hell is going on?" Now that I have found Nangu, it is a good thing!
"Miss, you sold me!" As if he had made up his mind, Lin Bai's eyes were firm.
"Is there not enough silver? Get up first. "It seems that this is the case, Lin Zhuyu regards Lin Bai as a family member like Nangu in his heart, how can he sell it?
Lin Bai paused first, "Miss, the silver is lost!" Lin Bai didn't dare to get up. Said truthfully, "Miss, you beat me and punish me!" ”
"What? Lost the silver? Lin Zhuyu only felt that his brain suddenly exploded, that was Nangu's life-saving money!
Looking at Lin Bai who was kneeling on the ground, his face was firm, "So you said I sold you?" Are you going to exchange your money for Nangu? ”
"Miss, I've said hello, use me for Nangu, someone else will do it!"
"Did you ask me about my decision before you made it? Do you know that my life was saved by me, and I didn't say yes, how can you make your own decisions? At this moment, Lin Zhuyu is in a very complicated mood, a lonely beggar he inadvertently saved, he is grateful for his kindness, but he is even better than his biological father! The biological father didn't know the importance of Nangu to him, and Lin Bai was willing to exchange himself for Nangu for less than ten days after following him, what would he have to pay for this love?
"Miss......"
"You get up first, how did you lose the silver?" Lin Zhuyu forcibly pulled Lin Bai up, and he could earn more if he lost the silver, but this matter had to be asked clearly.
When Lin Bai saw Miss asking, he naturally explained in detail what happened last night, including the fact that he suspected the woman at first, and later determined that the woman did it.
"The woman in the coarse cloth and the basket in blue? Carrying the basket ...... "Listening to Lin Bai's description, Lin Zhuyu seemed to feel that he had seen this person somewhere, and at the same time muttered in his mouth.
"Miss, do you think this person is familiar? That's what I felt at the time, like I've seen it somewhere. ”
"Basket, Agar Pavilion! That's right, the Agar Court counter! ”
"Counter? When you say this, Miss, I am reminded of the woman we met yesterday in the Agar Pavilion. ”
Could it be that the theft of the silver had something to do with the Agar Pavilion? No, the shopkeeper is still waiting for his own fat powder! Looking at the shopkeeper, he didn't want to be a thief.
But then again, knowing people and not knowing their faces, and being upright on the surface, who knows what kind of work is done behind the scenes?
"Agar Pavilion, by the way, Lin Bai, I know where there is silver!" And it's just the right time to see if this agar pavilion has anything to do with the woman who stole the silver! Maybe his captivity yesterday was also related to this Agar Pavilion, or how could the little overlord come up and know that he was a woman?
"Lin Bai, today you will go to the Agar Pavilion, just say that the turnover at home is not open, I will give you a prescription, if they give the silver, they will hand over the prescription to the shopkeeper, if not, I will think of a way when you come back!" Saying that, Lin Zhuyu went to the inner room to pick up a pen and write a fat powder list.
"Miss, I can't make a mistake this time!"
"Well, remember, this allotment is incomplete, if they force it, they will give it, don't have a dispute!"
"Yes, miss."
Lin Bai saw that he could atone for his sins, so he was naturally very precious Miss Niang's order, but this time he didn't dare to be careless, and when he went out of the house, he put the order on his chest, this is Nangu's lifesaver with himself, if he loses it again, he will have no shame to come back to see Miss.
Staying in the house alone, I didn't think deeply, what happened recently, I only felt as if I had fallen into a fog, rumors were circulating, the shopkeeper of the pink-faced red corridor, the agar pavilion, was captured by the little overlord, it seemed that he was walking into someone's trap step by step, and he didn't know it at all.
