Chapter 8: The Baby in the Box

I climbed up hard, and when I got to the next window, I poked open the window paper and saw that there was no one inside, so I quietly opened the window: fortunately the window did not squeak, otherwise something would have happened.

I secretly rejoiced. As I climbed inside, I heard someone talking outside the bedroom.

"Boss Yan, we'll come over to get today's goods in the evening. But in terms of price, do you have to go a little lower? "When I heard it, it was the sound of the bag.

"Boss Bao, I don't like to hear what you say, we are all old deals, if you still tell me the price, it will hurt my feelings."

Boss Yan smiled and agreed: "Okay, for the sake of the good quality this time, I won't drag your price." "Package.

"Okay, Young Master Bao, then it's decided, we will be waiting for you here tonight." Boss Yan said with a wine glass.

Tonight? This time is definitely not a simple transaction, the Ninth Master should be tracking down this matter, anyway, I should help.

I thought about it for a while and decided to check the situation in this room.

At night, Jiu Ye waited at home for Shu Qiao's return, but there was no one there, thinking about it: Is Shu Er still in the store? It's bold to not come back so late.

Even so, Jiu Ye still went out to find Shu Qiao, and came to the door of the Lanying cloth store, only to find that the inside had already closed: Why did this store close so early? Could it be that Shu'er went out to play with that little girl, really, she didn't say hello, hum.

Jiu Ye flicked his sleeves and left, feeling still a little lost.

In the evening, everyone gathers at Seifuen. Jiu Ye saw that everyone had brought large boxes in a room, and it seemed that they were also very heavy items, although he couldn't guess what it was, but what could make people think about it was: since there are holes in the four corners of the box. It means that there are creatures that need to breathe, and it seems that you are really right.

Guangqian, the personal servant of the Bao Xing, came over and said, "Ah Jiu, you take a few people to carry the small box inside, remember to handle it gently." ”

"Got it." Ah Jiu went out with two people.

When you come to the house, the small box and the large box are placed in two directions. The Ninth Master looked around and picked up a box. found that this box did not have any air holes, so I didn't care.

When he came to the ground outside, Jiu Ye felt that there should be something important inside: I have to find a way to take a look.

The Ninth Master looked around. There was no one around, so he picked up a stone from the ground and hit the foot of a person in front of him, who accidentally fell. The box also slammed to the ground.

The Ninth Master pretended to be concerned and ran over and said, "It's okay." ”

Xiao Si stood up, dusted the dirt off his legs, and said, "It's okay." ”

"So be it. You help him over there to rest. Ah Jiu said to the person standing next to him.

"Yes." The man put all the boxes in the hands of the ninth master, and then helped the person to walk over.

After the ninth master looked at the person who was carrying the big box next to him, he took the opportunity to run behind the rockery.

I was a little tired, and after waiting so long and no one came, I fell asleep on the table by the window. Maybe it was a little cold, the wind outside the window was blowing a little cold, and I stood up to see if anything was going on outside, and I did see torches in the opposite yard. I could faintly see some people walking around: it should be now.

I looked around and tore the curtains off. Tie it up, and then tie it to the bench, put the bench horizontally, just enough to get out of the window, I slowly climbed out, pulled the rope hard, and felt that the bench and the rope should be able to be stressed, so I slowly climbed down, in the place where there was no room rock, I learned the posture of the ancients, and went down with one foot, but I found myself separated from there.

I relented and jumped down, "Ahh "It still hurts.

I took a few steps to get over and see. "Ahh I was covered in the mouth, almost suffocating, and I struggled to break free.

"Shu'er?" The Ninth Master suddenly spoke.

After I broke free, I relented for a moment and said, "Ah Jiu, I'm here to help." ”

When the Ninth Master saw me so determined, he didn't blame me and said, "Follow me." ”

I followed behind the Ninth Master and walked over. Jiu Ye opened the box and took a look at it under the moonlight, Jiu Ye and I were stunned and looked at each other.

The Ninth Master suddenly remembered something, and immediately put the box in my hand: "Take it." ”

I held the box and saw that the ninth master went over and took the box below, and in the moonlight, the child looked a little strange.

Me: "The child's face is a little pale. ”

"That's right, the vent of this box was sealed for no reason, it should be a lack of oxygen." The ninth master analyzed a little calmly.

I looked at the kid and couldn't help but feel distressed: if I didn't save him now, would he ......

I raised my head and was about to beg the Ninth Master to let me take this child.

"You take this child away and send it to the hospital for treatment." The Ninth Master suddenly had a more kind heart than me, which made me feel that it was not the sinister Ninth Master standing in front of me.

"Hmm." I nodded and went out with the baby in my arms.

The ninth master looked at no one outside, and then calmly went out with the box.

I hugged the baby and found a doctor outside.

Dr. Li said: "Your child is not worried about his life, but he may have some obstacles to the development of the brain in the future. ”

"Obstacles? You're saying he could be demented? I asked Dr. Li in disbelief

"This is one of the possible situations, and it is also possible that it is a normal ordinary person, I say this, I just hope that Madame can be mentally prepared." Dr. Li also said to me in a deep voice.

I paid the money and walked out of the hospital with the child in my arms, and I couldn't help but feel a little more sorry for the life in my hand: child, you should not have suffered this sin, what is the cause of the suffering you are suffering now?

I looked up at the night sky, which was already dark: I couldn't go back to Baofu now, it seemed that I had to go back to the original home.

I carried the baby and walked back to the house I had been in.

Jiu Ye was busy with things, and he didn't see me in Baofu. I knew where I should be, and when it was dawn, the ninth master came to the house and pushed open the door and shouted, "Shu'er." ”

I woke up from my sleep. I sat up from the bed and looked at the child next to me who had not woken up.

The ninth master walked over and said, "Shu'er, how is the child?" ”

"The doctor said he had taken some sweat pills and might sleep a little longer before he woke up." I looked at the little kid with some concern.

"I had guessed that those people would use this tactic against these babies, but these things are really outrageous." The Ninth Master said with some atmosphere.

"Ah Jiu, you must find out about this matter. Give these children justice. With a cynical look on my face, the Ninth Master suddenly became a little worried, and joked, "Okay." Don't be angry, leave these things to me. ”

But I said very firmly, "No, this kind of thing is a share, if you don't let me contribute." I'll check it myself. ”

The ninth master thought for a while: This girl dared to stay in the brothel until midnight yesterday. I'm sure she's not just talking.

"Okay, let's look into this together." The Ninth Master finally blurted out an agreement.

"I'm going to cook some rice soup for the kids." I walked out and found a very familiar one outside, which was Eagle Chess.

I hurriedly walked out and asked, "Brother Ying, why are you here?" ”

"Is Xiaolan with you?" Eagle chess.

"Didn't Shilan come home?" I asked, surprised.

Eagle Qi said: "No, he didn't return last night, and you weren't there when I came here to look for you." I thought I'd come back to you again, and the guy in the store said you were going out together. ”

"That's right. But then we separated. "I thought about it for a moment.

"Is something wrong?" Eagle Chess instantly became anxious.

I was about to appease the eagle chess, but I heard the voice of the ninth master coming out of the door: "Who? ”

I immediately blocked the eagle chess, put my hand on the top of my head, hoping to block the person who could block the eagle chess: "It's nothing, Ah Jiu, you go back first." ”

Eagle walked out from behind me very indifferently.

"Eagle, what are you doing?" The ninth master asked a little unhappily.

I took a look and saw Eagle Chess standing next to me: "I'm here to find my sister." ”

I saw that they didn't seem surprised when they saw each other, so I asked Yingqi, "Brother Ying, have you met Ah Jiu?" ”

"Hmm." Yingqi nodded: "Xiao Ai, where was the last time you saw Xiaolan yesterday?" ”

"Yes......" I hesitated for a moment and said, "It's the gate of Qingfeng Garden." It was a brothel. ”

"What are you doing there?" Eagle chess.

I hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"You better go to the brothel and have a look, maybe your sister was arrested by them and forced to become a prostitute." The Ninth Master came over to help me out of the siege.

Yingqi didn't have time to question, but he still politely saluted me like Jiu Ye hugging his fists: "Then I'll go first." ”

Then he glanced at me and signaled that he was leaving, and I said to him, "If you find Shilan, tell me immediately." ”

"Hmm." Eagle said yes and left.

I'm still worried about whether something will really happen to Shilan.

"Okay, don't worry, Eagle has been with me for three years, even if something really happens to his sister, I'm sure he'll find out soon." It can be seen that the ninth master still admires the eagle chess, and when the ninth master saw that I had been looking at him, he smiled happily and said, "Don't look at me, hurry up and go in and make some rice soup, the child should be hungry." ”

"Got it." I walked back into the house.

In the capital, a spy rushed over and asked to see Kangxi.

Kangxi Ye said with some relief: "Since Lao Jiu can live with peace of mind, it means that he has changed well." Give him this bag of seeds, and tell him, and when the grain is abundant, it will be the time of his return. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The soldier who knelt down stood up, retreated to the back, and continued back to the place of the Ninth Master.

The eighth master was amusing with Hongwang in the courtyard of Bafujin's home, when he saw the fourteenth master come over and said happily, "Starling." Brother Jiu is finally coming back. ”

The eighth master and the eighth master both stood up, and the eighth master handed the drum to the eight blessings and said, "Fourteenth brother, you said that you heard some good news again." ”

"In the morning, I heard Huang Ama give Brother Jiu a packet of rice seeds, and explained that the day of harvest is the time when Brother Jiu returns, and Brother Jiu will be able to return in four or five months." The fourteenth master had joy on his face.

"That's good. The ninth brother has also suffered a lot during this time, and he must be very excited to know this news. "Eighth master.

"That's right. Fortunately, there is Ai Shuqiao, and I see that Brother Jiu has also had a colorful life this time. When the Fourteenth Master said this, some of them glanced at Bafujin, and this passage must have been said to her.

The eighth master nodded: "It's almost March now, and in another month, Huang Ama should go to Mongolia again." ”

"That's right, last year's second brother's incident caused this marriage to die abruptly. Now, the second brother should be expected to be re-established as the crown prince, starling. What do you think we should do now? The Fourteenth Master looked at the Eighth Master with expectant eyes, hoping to come up with useful strategies to give their party a good chance again.

"Eighth Master, since you are discussing major matters. I'll just hug Hongwang down first. Beatitude Jin stood up and said.

"It's fine. You sit and there's nothing to hide between us. "Eighth master

Bafujin was moved for a while, but he still said, "Then I'll go and change Hongwang's diaper."

"Okay." The eighth master touched Hongwang's cheek and watched them leave.

The fourteenth master sat on the stool and said, "It seems that the starling brother has true love for the eighth sister-in-law." Even such confidential matters can be unscrupulous in front of the eighth sister-in-law. ”

The eighth master smiled and sat down: "At the beginning, my eighth sister-in-law and I really loved each other, and we can still get married, it is not easy to be sincere, there are several couples in the Qing Dynasty who are together because they really love each other."

"Brother Starling, you have a good temperament, and you are also polite to women." What the fourteenth master said is very well understood, and the eighth master seems to have it. But it also reflects the character of the fourteenth master.

After watching my child fall asleep, I was reluctant to put her down with both hands. I kept holding it tightly, because I thought of something terrible: could those unfortunate children have only an unhappy life from now on.

"You really look like a mother when you hold a child, or we will give birth to one." The ninth master came to me and looked at me very naughtily.

I whispered, "You, if it weren't for the child, I would have played you in the head."

"Is that so?" Ninth Master.

"Ah" Ninth Master, this can be regarded as a current study and sale, and it actually bounced on my head. I stared at him, wishing I could give him a 360-degree turn and kick.

"That's right, I'm supposed to be pregnant." I blurted out.

"Really? So straightforward? The Ninth Master suddenly looked flattered.

"What do you want? I mean fake pregnancy. "When I look at the appearance of the ninth master, I know what he has in mind." I remember that the other day, Bao Xing sent someone to send me some tonics, I think I am just a relative of a general, he doesn't need to be so good to me? ”

"You mean, she's beating your mind?" The Ninth Master suddenly reverted to a wise and wise detective.

"Yesterday, I went to the pharmacy with the tonic given by the bag store and asked, only to know that it was some medicinal materials that help me get pregnant, so I thought about it for a while, our child is also his target." I analyzed it carefully, and I really admired my detective's brain.

"That's right," the ninth master nodded and then said seriously: "Why don't you fake it?"

I looked at the ninth master and asked with my eyes: Are you serious?

The ninth master closed his eyelids and signaled the meaning of "good".

I glanced at "Cut" and ignored him.

At noon, I saw that the child's face was very good, so I lay in front of the bed with the ninth master, teasing the child.

"I never knew that children could be played with by us like this." The Ninth Master squatted beside him and looked at me.

"You used to only have your woman in your eyes except for your high-ranking officials, how could you notice the child." I looked at the Ninth Master with contempt, and I looked down on this kind of lord who only had money and women in his eyes.

Jiu Ye smiled: "I'm jealous." ”

"Not really," I said calmly.

"Xiao Ping'an, hurry up and let your mother give you a younger brother." The ninth master turned to the child to speak.

I was a little inexplicable, but when I saw the ninth master staring at the child talking, I raised my finger and pointed: "You, let him be safe?"

"Doesn't it sound good?" Ninth Master.

I ignored the ninth master, and instead picked up the child and said happily: "Great, you have a name, peace."

"Okay, we're all starving, hurry up and cook for our grandfather." The ninth master said and hugged the child over.

I looked worriedly: "You? Are you sure? ”

"Go ahead, can't I even deal with a child as a big man?" The ninth master looked relaxed.

I had a sympathetic look on my child's face, but I went to cook. (To be continued.) )
