Chapter Eighty-Five: The Roof Leak Happened to Rain Overnight
Wang Zicheng carefully studied the first two long arrows in the pile of dead people, and did not stand up until Wang Yueying hurried from the nearby woods.
"Zicheng, why are you here?" Wang Yueying didn't look at the dead and injured on the ground, and went straight to Wang Zicheng and asked.
"I heard above that they were planning to kidnap my aunt, so I came down to sue you, but I didn't expect it to be too late. And I γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Wang Zicheng wanted to say something, but Wang Yueying didn't care about him anymore, and only asked him: "Did Xing Zhutou rescue them from the museum?" β
"When I came down, the Xing Catchers were still in ambush, and they should have all rushed out by now!"
"Come with me to the mountains." After speaking, he immediately went to Qinglongzhai along the mountain road, there were blood stains along the way, and occasionally the wounded soldiers could be seen lying on the side of the road.
Finally arrived at the Qinglong Village at the top of the mountain, the place was in disarray, the wounded soldiers squatted on the ground, and the officers and soldiers began to escort the surrendered bandits down the mountain. Presumably the big battle is over.
"Mother, mother." The mother's screams are heartbreaking. The pavilion was being held by Xing Zhutou towards herself, Xing Zhutou put the pavilion down, and she ran over quickly and fell into Wang Yueying's arms. The face is full of grievances, and the red and swollen eyes have been crying many times. Xing Zhutou led the others to search other places, leaving only Wang Yueying, Wang Zicheng and the pavilion.
"I saw Uncle Song Hai." Guan Guan wiped his tears with his dirty little hands and said.
"Auntie, I'm about to talk about this too." Wang Zicheng interjected: "The two long arrows at the bottom of the mountain seem to be the arrows that Uncle Song Hai used to shoot wild boars when he was hunting. β
How warm home is. What a terrible thing it was for a little girl of a few years old to be imprisoned in a strange place.
All she remembers was that she spent the last few days in constant crying, no one beat or scolded her, they just locked her in a dark cabin and let her cry. The pavilion felt as if it was in the abyss, empty all around, without family company, like losing the whole world.
After Xing Zhutou finally inspected Qinglong Village during the day, he burned down all the buildings on the original mountaintop, and in an instant, the fire turned the original QiΔ into ashes. It's just that the three-eyed blue and the tall and thin military advisor don't know where they went, and when people were pretending to bury the corpses and checking the captured bandits, they didn't find these two people, and some people said that they might have taken advantage of the chaos to escape down the mountain.
In any case, the pavilion was successfully rescued, and the bandits in Qinglong Village were also exterminated, which was a happy event for Wang Yueying and Xing Zhutou.
"Yueying, thanks to your strategy this time, otherwise Lord Wu would have given me the errand to exterminate Qinglong Village within a time limit, and I would never have been able to complete it." After Wang Yueying returned home, Xing Zhutou came to thank her again.
"Xing Zhutou said seriously, if I can exterminate them with my flawed plan alone, I am afraid that I will not even be able to save my life, but I want to thank you for saving the pavilion. Our whole family will never forget your kindness for the rest of our lives. Wang Yueying summoned Caidie and asked her to take the pavilion out to worship Xie Xing's head.
"If you don't dislike Xing Zhutou, can you refuse to be the granddaughter of the pavilion and bless her to be safe and thoughtful in the future?"
"It's a family, why bother talking about two families." Before she finished speaking, Wang Yueying asked the newly arrived pavilion to kneel down and worship Xing Zhutou as her godfather. The pavilion was very obedient and recognized his godfather neatly. In terms of generation, it is not an exaggeration to be the godfather of Xing Zhutou, and he is also Chen Shouyi's father-in-law, there is no difference in seniority, and he thinks that he will have a good granddaughter for nothing! When the museum finishes kowtowing, this matter will be completed.
"Yueying, I recognize this granddaughter. However, it is always a disservice for a little girl to go through these things, and you should find a master to see if there is anything wrong with the feng shui of the house. β
"What Xing Zhutou said is that I also think I want to see it, and I have to change the name of the museum to go to bad luck." Wang Yueying wants to see if feng shui is fake, but she really wants to change the name of the museum.
"What do you think of being called Yangyang? Yang, Gao Ming also. Hopefully, she will thrive towards the sun in the future. β
"Yangyang, that's a good name. Guanguan, you will change your name to Yangyang in the future, and you will no longer thank your godfather. β
"Yangyang, thank you for choosing the name." The pavilion happily accepted the new name, thanked Xing Zhutou again and went out.
To live is to be born and then to live. No one can tell you what will happen tomorrow, everything we do now is for ourselves to live better tomorrow. Wang Yueying knew at this time that she couldn't find the missing more than 1,000 taels of silver, and she didn't have a good life tomorrow.
As soon as the matter of suppressing bandits in Niutou Mountain was over, seeing that Yangyang was safe and sound, the first thing that Wang Yueying remembered was the five thousand taels of silver that were still in front of the mountain gate. These silvers were all usurious loans borrowed by her and Lu Sanniang when she asked Qian Wansan, and said that they would repay it in a few days, so the principal of 5,000 taels must be guaranteed to be repaid. Wang Zicheng sued Wang Yueying after Xing Zhutou left, and the original five thousand taels were missing one thousand two hundred taels, thinking that they were taken away in the melee.
"Did the bandits take it or the officers and soldiers?" Wang Yueying asked.
"I don't know."
In fact, Wang Yueying's question was also in vain, often officers and soldiers and bandits and bandits are just a line of separation, a difference of thoughts, isn't the three-eyed blue just a soldier who is not used to running to be a bandit. The missing silver cannot be recovered, and now the plan is how to make up for the shortfall of 1,200 taels.
When it comes to spending money, you still have to find people who have money. Wang Yueying never dared to bother Lu Sanniang anymore this time, from borrowing money to ransom people at the beginning to vouching for herself, Lu Sanniang had done enough, so this time she wanted to ask Shen Sanniang for convenience. According to her instructions, Caidie set off to Shen Mansion to invite Shen San to her home, not wanting the housekeeper of Shen Mansion to tell SΓΉ Caidie, Shen San went out to check the accounts when he first entered winter, and he has not come back yet. Just when Caidie rushed home to reply, Cai Hong happened to meet her on the street corner, and talking about the reason for going out, Cai Hong decided to visit Wang Yueying.
When Cai Die told Wang Yueying that she didn't invite Shen San but ran into Cai Hong, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. After Piaoxianglou broke up unhappily last time, Wang Yueying deliberately did not see Cai Hong, just like Yangyang was kidnapped this time, she didn't think about asking him to borrow money. Now that he came to visit himself, he couldn't say anything if he didn't see him again, so he simply talked to him about the shares of Piaoxianglou.
"Yueniang, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed."
"Boss Cai, don't come unharmed."
This is the first conversation between the two people after the last goodbye, Wang Yueying didn't want to talk nonsense, she asked straight to the point: "Is Boss Cai still interested in the shares of Piaoxianglou in my hand?" β
"What do you mean by that?"
"To tell you the truth, in order to rescue Yangyang, I asked Wan Liang Yin to borrow some silver, and I will pay it back in a blink of an eye, and it is still a little short. I intend to cash out my shares in Piaoxiang Building. β
"I can borrow the silver from you first, so you don't have to rush to sell the shares."
"What you borrow will always be returned, and it is not as convenient as your own." Wang Yueying rejected Cai Hong's offer to borrow money. Cai Hong pondered for a moment, and didn't know how to refute it, so he had to agree to her request for discount.
A few days later, Wang Yueying counted the silver taels. The 3,800 taels of silver that he got back from the front of the mountain gate, plus the 1,000 taels of silver discounted from the shares of Piaoxianglou, plus his usual private money, barely made up enough of the principal of 5,000 taels, but Li Yin really couldn't take it out anymore. Qian Wansan knew that Wang Yueying was not a cheating and cheating character, and for the sake of the principal, he decided to use the small courtyard where Wang Yueying lived to discount the silver.
When she returned home, Wang Yueying called the whole family for a family meeting.
"Tomorrow, the old man of ten thousand taels of silver will send someone to look at our house, and if the price is right, I plan to give him this small courtyard." As he spoke, he uncovered the red cloth that had been placed on the table a long time ago and said, "Caidie, there is still a bit of broken silver here, you can take it and distribute it to everyone, and then find a new owner tomorrow!" β
The few words of the scattered group were simple and clear, Wang Yueying didn't want to look at the lonely expressions of the family, so she went back to the room by herself.
The secluded courtyard has her memories of the past year, and the thought that she may have to leave here tomorrow makes her feel a little sad.
"Are you in such a hurry to pay back the money of 10,000 taels of silver?" A deep male voice came from the dark corner of the courtyard. Looking at the figure, Wang Yueying tried to recall the possible characters, but she didn't answer immediately. Faces flashed through my mind in an instant, and finally stopped at that person.
"You're really back, Song Hai."
"Well, it's been a long time, don't come to harm's harm, Yueying."
"Don't come unharmed."
After two pleasantries, all that remained was an awkward silence.
"Is the pavilion okay?" Song Hai still spoke first.
"Oh, it's fine. She has changed her name to Yangyang. β
"Yangyang? Very nice name. β
"Change your name, and hope to go to bad luck."
"Oh, that's fine!"
You've rehearsed the dialogue you had with the goddess for the first time in your mind, but when it comes to meeting, maybe the slightly awkward situation mentioned above is the real scenario. This is true for two people who have met for the first time or who have not seen each other for a long time, unless one of them can quickly open up an awkward situation. However, Wang Yueying and Song Hai did not have a chance to continue this awkward conversation. Black smoke rose from the back wing at some point, and then someone was heard shouting "go out of the water". Wang Yueying's house caught fire.
Fighting the fire has become the first priority at the moment, and the whole family rushed to the fire with all kinds of utensils that could hold water. The fire attracted the surrounding neighbors, and Song Hai also participated in the firefighting, but he saw two sneaky people in the fire, so he stepped forward to check what was going on, and immediately knocked down one person and fought with the other. After a dozen rounds of tricks, the man was also knocked to the ground. Song Hai wanted to step forward and ask some more questions, but unexpectedly, a team of catchers on the street hurriedly rushed over, so he had to hide first.
Xing Zhutou was patrolling the streets with this team of catchers, and he just happened to see someone fighting, so he hurried over. When they came to the scene, they saw that the two lying on the ground were none other than Three-Eyed Qing and his military advisor.
"It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." Xing Zhutou was secretly happy in his heart, this time it must be a great achievement.
