Chapter Ninety-Six: Transfiguration

After sending Xing Zhutou out, Wang Yueying was still a little uncomfortable. |Among every two people who read romance, there is an account that has registered for Xiao°Shuo.com. ~

Xing Zhutou was not at ease before leaving, afraid that Wang Yueying would still be unwilling to visit, and persuaded her. Although she has long been on her own and has little contact with the Chen family, Chen Shouxin is the blood of the Chen family after all, and her mother is sick, and it is too late to be filial piety before the bed of her son, so how can she not visit? In the end, Wang Yueying still only agreed, and this matter was all in Chen Shouxin's meaning: if he wanted to go, she would take her children to visit her.

At the beginning of Wang Yueying's crossing, she knew that she, the "mother-in-law", abused the mother and daughter of the original owner on weekdays, and she was naturally reluctant in her heart, but Xing Zhutou's words were word-for-word. Blood is thicker than water. Chen Shouxin is the meat that fell from Mrs. Zhou's body, and filial piety is due. I just begged Chen Shouxin not to go, so as to avoid their trouble.

At noon the next day, Caidie and Wang Zicheng rushed back to Hetou Village from Qingzhou City. After entering the door, Wang Zicheng did not come with Caidie to talk back to Wang Yueying, and went directly to his yard. In the past few days, he is out on the road, and what he is most concerned about is his pregnant wife at home.

Caidie came to Wang Yueying with the repaired jade bracelet and carefully opened the wrapped red cloth, for fear that she would accidentally break it again.

"As soon as we arrived in Qingzhou City, we followed the guidance of the owner of the jade shop in the town and found the jade shop. I took out the jade bracelet and showed it to the master in the shop, and he studied it carefully and said that it could be repaired, but the repaired jade bracelet would still leave traces of splicing at the fracture. I remembered my wife's instructions before leaving, so I asked the master how many days it would take to repair it. The master said that the repair could be completed in one day, so we stayed in Qingzhou to repair the jade bracelet and come back. ”

Looking at the jade bracelet spliced by thin gold wires at the fracture, Wang Yueying was helpless. She took the jade bracelet in her hand and looked at it inside and out, thinking that although it was a spliced jade bracelet, the master's craftsmanship made the jade bracelet more exquisite. She didn't think much about it, she naturally put the jade bracelet back on her hand, cared about the hardships of Caidie's journey, and ordered her to go down.

Xing Zhutou came to talk to her at home yesterday and almost found out Song Hai's whereabouts. Wang Yueying was worried about this time bomb around her, she knew that letting Song Hai hide in the wine cellar was just a temporary force, not a long-term solution. How to solve the problem of Song Hai's hiding has now become one of the troublesome things she has to consider. In Tong Guò's conversation with Xing Zhutou yesterday, Wang Yueying learned that the imperial court had arrested all the people involved in Qiu Sheng's case, and only Song Hai and Qiu Sheng's daughter had not been heard from so far. However, Xing Zhutou revealed to Wang Yueying that the imperial court believed that Song Hai might flee to the south and might take the opportunity to go to overseas vassal states. When Wang Yueying heard this information, she was secretly happy in her heart. The imperial court suspected that Song Hai might go into exile, which meant that they were tracking in the wrong direction, which provided a good opportunity for Song Hai to hide, and she decided to go to the wine cellar to tell Song Hai this information.

The wine cellar is a few feet lower than the ground, and apart from the cellar door, there are only a few air windows in the dark space to connect to the outside world. Wang Yueying took the oil lamp, carefully came down the steps, and shouted Song Hai's name every step she took, but there was no response in this small wine cellar.

"Could it be that Xing Zhutou was frightened yesterday and didn't dare to hide from me?" Wang Yueying counted the places where Song Hai might be hiding one by one, and it seemed that only this wine cellar was the safest. "Out of here, I really don't know where he can hide." With a little puzzlement in her heart, Wang Yueying carefully walked up the steps with an oil lamp and came out of the dark wine cellar. There is more than one wine cellar in the winery, and the wine cellar that Song Hai has been hiding in is the wine cellar that has just been filled with new wine before the beginning of winter, so the people in the winery will not enter the cellar to carry the wine jar before the spring of the next year.

The winery and the courtyard where Wang Yueying lives are connected by a corridor, and a small wooden door in the middle of the corridor is used as a barrier on weekdays. Passing by the backyard, Wang Yueying saw Zhao Han chopping wood in the courtyard, so she called him to go to the front yard to find Wang Zicheng. Zhao Han didn't raise his head, but just agreed, and then put down the axe and went to find someone. Now he is slowly starting to take over the work in the kitchen, and of course the work of fetching water and chopping wood is all covered.

"Why is this person so strange today, he doesn't look up when he talks back." Wang Yueying felt that it was a little rude for Zhao Han not to raise his head to reply, and she couldn't stop muttering.

"Madame, ma'am." Wang Yueying, who had just left the backyard and walked to the side hall, heard someone calling her in front of her again, she stopped and looked at it but was dumbfounded. It was no one else who shouted her in front, but it was Zhao Han.

"Madam, the lord said that he would take his son and young lady to the town to catch the market, let me ask if you need to bring something back by the way." Zhao Han was originally entrusted by Chen Shouxin to interrogate, but how could Zhao Han, who had just left through the small door behind him, come out of the wing room in front of him again? Wang Yueying was still speechless in surprise, Zhao Han thought she hadn't heard, and asked again.

"Ah, there's nothing to bring."

"Then I'll go back to my lord now."

"Hey, Zhao Han, wait." Wang Yueying couldn't help but stop him.

"Madame, what else do you command?"

"I just asked you to go to the front yard to find Wang Zicheng, have you found it?"

"Looking for self-contained? Mrs······ You didn't tell me to find my brother! Zhao Han looked puzzled. He spent the morning in the study watching the master, the young master and the young lady write, and the lady did not tell him any errands during this period.

"No, when you were chopping wood over there just now, I told you to find ······" Wang Yueying pointed to a pile of firewood in the backyard that had not been chopped, but stopped in the middle of her words, and asked Zhao Handao: "Don't sue me, you haven't chopped firewood?" ”

Faced with Wang Yueying's question, Zhao Han also frowned, not knowing what the hostess meant by asking him, and replied with confusion: "Madam, I haven't chopped wood today, and I've been in the study early in the morning to watch the master, the young master and the young lady Boxun practice calligraphy!" ”

"Really?" Zhao Han's reply surprised Wang Yueying, and she unconsciously dragged the two words for a long time.

"There's nothing about the little ones." Zhao Han replied righteously, not like he was lying. Wang Yueying's brain was already a piece of mush, just now she saw Zhao Han chopping wood in the courtyard, she must not have recognized the wrong person, but now Zhao Han's answer didn't look like he was lying to her. If the current Zhao Han is telling the truth, then who is the "Zhao Han" just now? Isn't it possible to bump into the hell in broad daylight? The more Wang Yueying thought about it, the more mad she became, and she didn't notice that Zhao Han was still beside her and asked her vigorously.

"Madame, ma'am, is there anything else you have to command?"

"Uh, no. When you call back, you say I don't have anything to bring. Zhao Han responded to Wang Yueying's order and turned around and left.

"What the hell is going on? No, I'm going to figure it out. Wang Yueying immediately followed the direction of chopping wood "Zhao Han" and went to the front yard, but there was no one. When she was about to go back to the winery to look for it, Wang Zicheng stopped her in the side hall.

"Auntie, I'm here." Wang Zicheng walked to Wang Yueying's side as he spoke.

"Zicheng, let me ask you, who asked you to come to the side hall?" Wang Yueying grabbed Wang Zicheng and said an inexplicable word, which made Wang Zicheng puzzled for a while.

"I came here by myself."

"Yourself?"

"Didn't you ask Zhao Han to come to me? I didn't say where to see you, I guessed you would be in the side hall, so I came to the side hall to look for you. Auntie, I've been waiting for you for a while. Wang Zicheng claimed that "Zhao Han" came to him, which means that Wang Yueying really saw a "Zhao Han" who looked like Zhao Han in the courtyard.

"Where is that man now?"

"That person?"

"Is that the 'Zhao Han' who is looking for you?"

"Hey! Let's go back and chop wood! ”

"You come with me." Wang Yueying pulled Wang Zicheng to find that "Zhao Han". The more people around, the more safe, in case of something, there can be a helper.

Wang Yueying pulled Wang Zicheng and hurried to the backyard, and saw that "Zhao Han" just now was really chopping wood. Wang Yueying stepped forward boldly and asked, "Who are you?" "Zhao Han" heard Wang Yueying's question, stopped what he was doing and replied: "I am Zhao Han!" Madam. ”

"No, you're not Zhao Han."

Hearing that Wang Yueying began to question her identity, "Zhao Han" was still not panicked, his face was calm, and he was so calm that there was no expression. Wang Yueying had never seen such a calm person, and she frowned inadvertently, but her heart became a little empty. "Did you admit it?"

"Then I ask you, what have you been doing all morning?"

"I spent the morning chopping wood here until my wife told me to find my brother." "Zhao Han" said that he had been chopping wood all morning, and Wang Yueying was even more convinced in her heart that the person in front of her was definitely not the real Zhao Han. She blocked Wang Zicheng with her hand and took two steps back, and her guard became vigilant, "If you don't say anything more, I will tie you up and go to see the official." Zicheng, you go to Xing Zhutou. ”

"Okay." Wang Zicheng listened to the order and was about to go out, and this fake Zhao Han was going to stop him.

"Wait." As he spoke, he looked back and forth carefully, as if he was afraid of being discovered by others.

"Yueying, Zicheng, it's actually me." When he said this, the voice of the fake Zhao Han changed, and the two of them were even more stunned. As he spoke, the fake Zhao Han reached out and kneaded his face a few times, and then slowly tore off the skin on his face along the hairline with his hand. After a while, a human skin mask was removed intact and placed in his hand, and it was a magic trick. However, the face exposed behind the mask shocked the two even more, because this person was Song Hai, who Wang Yueying couldn't find.

"How are you?" Wang Yueying asked loudly, but she thought that her voice was too loud, so she lowered her voice and asked: "I looked for you everywhere, but I didn't expect you to wear a human skin mask." ”

"Human skin masks?" Where had Wang Zicheng seen a human skin mask, and his heart was full of questions while being surprised.

"Yueying, do you know the mask?" Song Hai's question is really funny in Wang Yueying's opinion, she has read so many novels by Gulong Jin Yong, how can she not know the human skin mask, it is not because of her current identity, she really wants to teach these lonely and unheard of two people well. Now she can only pretend to know a little bit and say that she understands a little.

"Let's not stand outside and talk, let's talk in a hidden place." In order to be just in case, Wang Yueying must be careful everywhere to prevent outsiders from knowing Song Hai's deposit, so as not to attract the government to investigate. She led Song Hai and Wang Zicheng to the guest room, and there was only Ryoma in the room. As soon as Song Hai entered the door, he saw that there were people in the room, and he subconsciously wanted to hide outside, but Wang Yueying persuaded him to rest assured before stepping into the door, but he didn't tell his real name, only said that he was Wang Yueying's newly recruited helper-Niu Er. Ryoma was stunned in his heart, and immediately understood Song Hai's thoughts, did not expose his lies, and hugged his fists and said that he was Wang Yueying's old friend - Zhuge Fangyuan.

Two big men who open their eyes and talk nonsense, the lies are a set of lies, which are completely seamless and tacitly coordinated. Men are definitely not inferior to women when they tell lies, and there is a saying that it is better to believe that there are ghosts in the world than to believe in the stinky mouth of men. The people watching the play were a little stunned, Wang Yueying quietly patted Wang Zicheng's shoulder next to her and whispered: "Don't follow their example, be careful of rotten tongues." ”

"You talk, I'll go out first." Ryoma thought that the three of them had secrets that were not enough for outsiders, and he didn't want to get involved, so he didn't listen to it, so he found a reason to hide outside.

After Ryoma left, Wang Yueying forced Song Hai to tell him about the human skin mask.

It turned out that when Song Hai was a guerrilla lieutenant in the army, he often had the task of infiltrating the enemy army to spy on the military situation, and it became commonplace to put on makeup and disguise. In addition, there is a sergeant in the army, who studied under a Jianghu artist before becoming a soldier, and is familiar with some tricks to change his face. For the convenience of lurking, he taught some methods of using masks and making zuò to Song Hai and others. In the side hall yesterday, Song Hai pretended to be a helper in a hurry and escaped Xing Zhutou's suspicion. When I went out, I thought that I could dress up as a winery helper and live without being suspected. This is the scene where Song Hai disguised himself as Zhao Han, just to try whether his disguised skills can be hidden from others.

"It seems that this method still can't hide people." Song Hai looked a little depressed.

"Yes, yes. When you came to me, I didn't know it was fake. Wang Zicheng thinks that the method of changing his appearance is very good. Wang Yueying thought about it, she didn't recognize it in the morning, if it wasn't really Zhao Han who came to talk to her, she might have been deceived. Besides, instead of letting Song Hai live in the cellar all the time, the idea of pretending to be a winery helper just solved Song Hai's problem of hiding, she hurriedly said: "I think the method of pretending to be a helper is feasible, and it is true that the winery is also short of manpower, so you might as well give it a try." ”
