CHAPTER XXV

The second sister suspected that she had encountered the flower party that was taking advantage of the Shangyuan Festival to make trouble, so she hurriedly turned her head and said to the Chen family: "Come and see, it seems that there are abductors and abductors." ”

When everyone heard this, they knew that although the second sister was young, she was not a person who talked nonsense. Hurriedly squeezed forward to watch. The second sister hurriedly pointed to the dark grape purple back downstairs that had gradually walked away along the flow of people, because she said: "I have seen the little girl in his arms, and she was carried on her shoulders by a little maid wearing a green coat and hat before. Not only did this kid hold her for a different person, but even that kid was gone. ”

Because the people on the Lantern Festival were weaving, shoulder to shoulder, everyone clearly saw the person the second sister was referring to. Seeing that the man was dressed rich and decent, and his actions were not shrunken, he smiled unconsciously: "It can't be his family who is here." Under the New Year's Festival, don't make a fuss, it's not going to end well. ”

The second sister hurriedly shook her head, because she said, "If it is the elder of that girl, why is the kid I saw not here?" I'm just afraid that the abductor took advantage of his unpreparedness to sneak away. If I hadn't seen it, I'd have done it, but now that I have seen it, if I don't say a word, wouldn't I have connived at the wicked to harm others? ”

When the people heard this, they also felt that this was reasonable. As he was groaning, he suddenly saw Chen Jue squeezing everyone out of the window, leaning out of the window with half of his body, and asked in a loud voice: "The old man who wears deep grapes and purple downstairs, who are you, why are you holding my neighbor's child?" ”

Its voice became clearer and brighter, like summer thunder. Before a word fell, the pedestrians on Flower Street had already stopped and subconsciously looked up. Only the person holding the child had a ghost in his heart, and when he heard this, instead of holding his feet, he hugged the child tightly and trotted up. Helplessly, the tourists enjoying the lanterns on the flower street are comparable to the carp crossing the river, one by one squeezed into the airtight, and he is holding a child, and he can't run at all.

Chen Qi condescended to see this situation, where else did he not understand. Hurriedly pointed to the man in the dark grape purple coat and shouted to the pedestrians downstairs: "Stop him, he is a kidnapper." ”

After that, he hurriedly instructed the boys who often followed Chen Li downstairs to gather the boys who were temporarily resting in the lobby to eat tea, and went out to get people.

While speaking, I saw a sudden commotion and chaos on the flower street outside, and the sound of the frightened screams of the female dependents and the sound of the tourists screaming in pain filled the ears. Seeing this, everyone in the Chen Mansion hurriedly turned around to look - but it turned out that when Chen Qi was shouting, five or six tall men with blades in their hands had already rushed out of the crowd, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of pedestrians, squeezing out of the crowd to protect the crutches wearing deep grapes and purple behind them, and waving the blades in their hands to force the pedestrians back, intending to escape.

There are many pedestrians on the flower street, even if the men are cut and scared off some pedestrians, there are still tourists who can't move because of the narrowness of the place, or have a righteous heart and are not afraid of the violence of strongmen, or they dare to confront this group of vicious abductors.

Besides, after such a while, the subordinates of the Chen Mansion had already arrived.

Because it was the Shangyuan Festival that escorted the masters out to enjoy the lanterns and play, the boys who came with Chen Fu this time were all clever and strong. But flesh and blood are invincible to the white blade, and these Chen Mansion servants who went out empty-handed to take people are still much inferior in momentum compared to those crutches with blades.

Seeing this, Chen Li was afraid that his own boys would suffer losses, so he hurriedly recruited a person and told him to report to the official.

Seeing this, the kidnappers were afraid that there would be more trouble, so they became more and more anxious. The man in the dark grape purple coat simply didn't do anything, took out a short knife from his boot and put it on the neck of the little girl who was abducted, and said with a cold and calm face: "Let us go, otherwise I will wipe her neck with a knife." None of us want to be left behind. ”

After that, a force in the hand, the sharp blade immediately cut a hole in the little girl's soft and fragile neck, blood overflowed, and the painful little girl cried. Seeing this, a few of the crutches around him touched the bypass, and while people were not paying attention, they also jumped into the crowd and dragged a few pedestrians to make talismans.

Everyone might as well that this group of abductors was so frustrated and ruthless, and they were stunned for a while.

The man in a dark grape purple coat who was holding the little girl hostage saw that everyone was frightened, and hooked the corners of his mouth unexpectedly. Immediately, his eyes looked coldly at Chen Jue, who was standing at the window of the private room. His eyes rolled, but he came up with a brilliant idea, so he sneered and said, "You come down too, or I will scratch this little girl's face." If you pick her tendons, if she dies here, you will be the victim. ”

Chen Jue's face was gloomy, looking at the crutch who threatened him unceremoniously, and he also smiled for tat: "You don't dare." If you dare to hurt her life today, you will not be able to escape. ”

The man in the dark grape purple coat didn't accept the invitation, but still smiled and sneered: "Why, if you have the courage to do a good thing for Lao Tzu, you don't have the courage to stand up?" Don't you like to be righteous and brave, I'll give you this Qiaozong today. If you come down and change this little girl, I will take you hostage, and I will not kill her. ”

Chen Jue's face was even more gloomy. But he began to be suspicious in his heart, because this group of abductors was too arrogant and ruthless, and it didn't look like ordinary abductors.

The man in the dark grape purple coat was not a good-tempered person, and he hated Chen Qi for breaking his whereabouts, and he didn't even care about the rest, insisting on embarrassing Chen Jue. Seeing that Chen Qi was shrinking in the private room on the second floor and not coming out, the man frowned impatiently, raised his short knife and looked at the arm of the little girl in front of him, and then raised his head, stared at Chen Qi with burning eyes, and said with a cold smile: "I count to three, if you don't come down, I will cut off her arm." I'll see how you can explain to your neighbor. ”

After that, he really counted it in his mouth. One wall counts, and the other wall still looks at Chen Qi like a mouse. The short knife in his hand had already been raised.

The man didn't know that Chen Qi was not related to the little girl he was kidnapping, but he listened carefully to Chen Qi's words, thinking that Chen Qi had an old relationship with the little girl's elders. It is even more unscrupulous threatened.

Chen Qi's face became more and more pale, he didn't want to go down, but the man actually forced him in front of the crowds on the streetβ€”even more shamelessly, at the risk of the life of a three- or four-year-old girl. If Chen Qi can't go on, today's events will reach the ears of those officials and imperial historians, and it will be a "criminal evidence" of greed for life and fear of death.

The people of the time also govern the world with filial piety and benevolence, if Chen Jue really has a reputation of not being sympathetic to the people's feelings and being greedy for life and afraid of death, I am afraid that this official will be the leader.

When the man counted to two, Chen Qi hurriedly raised his voice and said, "Don't count, I'll go down." ”

Before a word fell, the ladies of the Chen Mansion were already frightened, Chen Huan and Chen Wan hugged each other in horror, and Feng Shi even pulled Chen Jue with a pale face and didn't tell him to go down.

Chen Jue only felt pantothenic acid in his stomach, and with a bitter face, he broke the soft wattle that Feng Shi was holding his arm, and said with a smile: "If you don't go, you can't do it." You can wait here. You are a man and I have a bright tongue, and I will not suffer. ”

With that, he strode downstairs. Seeing this, everyone in the Chen Mansion became more and more godless. They all followed Chen Qi downstairs. But Chen Jue used the excuse of "there are many people outside, don't be bumped into" and left everyone in the private room. The people in the Chen Mansion couldn't, so they had to swarm to the window of the private room, leaving an unexpected situation.

In the panic, everyone didn't notice that the small second sister had already crept downstairs behind Chen Qi.

Chen Qi passed all the way through the flower street tourists who made way for him, until he came to the gang of kidnappers. The crutch wearing a deep grape purple coat was full of sneers, and he didn't even say a word, but just nodded at Chen Qi with his chin, signaling Chen Qi to hurry up and throw the net.

Chen Jue took a deep breath and was just about to speak, when the crutch peeked at his expression and pretended to be impatient: "Don't talk nonsense." Either come and change someone, or I take off her shoulder. ”

As he spoke, he was already ready to slash. Chen Jue hurriedly raised his voice and shouted, but he didn't dare to say anything, but he didn't dare to just let the kidnapper retaliate, and he was in a dilemma for a while.

As he was muttering to himself, he heard a young child's voice behind him say quite calmly: "Don't let my uncle pass, I recognized you and called my uncle to shout." There is a debtor and a debtor, I will change the little girl in the past, and by the way, I will make you angry. ”

Chen Jue was full of surprise, and when he hurriedly looked back, he saw that the second sister had followed him at some point. At this moment, he was full of anxiety, but he pretended to be calm and walked through the crowd. A pair of small fists are clenched tightly, and you can almost see the green tendons on your hands.

In the private room of the restaurant, Chen saw this scene, his face was as frightened as gold, and he hurriedly scolded in a thin voice: "You little hooves who are dead." What a mess you caused to your uncle in the past. ”

Chen Qi was also busy scolding: "Hugh is messing around." Don't go back soon. ”

After that, he still ordered Chang to send the second sister back to the restaurant with Chen Li.

It's a pity that Chen Li hasn't made a move yet, and the kidnapper who took the hostage has already raised his voice and shouted: "Wait-"

After that, he looked at the second sister carefully. But seeing its pink carving and delicate eyebrows, although it is young and inconspicuous, I am afraid that it will grow into a beautiful embryo with unparalleled colors in the future. The posture is still above the little girl who has been abducted. Listening to her words just now, she was the culprit who caused the trouble, and sneered: "I didn't expect you to act timid, but raising a niece and daughter is quite timid." Well, if you don't dare to come, it's the same if you call her over. ”

In his heart, he secretly said that this big one didn't dare to come out, and he broke the small one first, and then humiliated the big one, and he made even more money.

When Chen Jue heard this, he became more and more crazy. Hurriedly dragged the second sister, squatted down and was about to say something, when he suddenly smelled a pungent spicy and choking smell, and Chen Jue was stunned. His eyes subconsciously fell on the second sister's clenched little fists-

Just now, he thought that the second sister was scared. Thinking about it at this moment, I'm afraid that the courage of these two sisters is even higher than that of ordinary people.

The crutch behind him in a deep grape purple coat still kept urging. Seeing this, Chen Qi had to glance at the second sister with deep meaning, and said with a pun: "In this case, you go first." Don't be afraid, Uncle won't let people hurt you. ”

The second sister nodded solemnly. Today's events, if she hadn't been talkative, her uncle would not have been hated and would have become a difficult situation to ride a tiger. Since the matter was caused by himself, he should settle it by himself. Besides, she has been prepared for a long time, and there are so many people next to her, whether she has a heart or not, she may not be at a loss.

After all, the second sister is not an ordinary four or five-year-old child, and this is a responsibility.

Chen Jue reached out and patted the second sister's shoulder, turned back to the kidnapper who held the little girl hostage and said coldly, "You let go of the little girl in your hand first." I'll call our sister again. ”

This is also the meaning of the question. You can't ask a kidnapper to pinch a hostage and deliver another one for nothing.

Unexpectedly, the crutch sneered, but disagreed. He still said: "I'm not stupid, you let your sister come over first, and then I'll release her." ”

Chen Jue said, "I'm not stupid. How could you do such a thing of losing your wife and breaking your soldiers? ”

He said: "You are a seven-foot man who wields a sword, are you still afraid that a five-year-old hairy girl will not succeed?" ”

Although he said this in his mouth, he secretly rejoiced in his heart. I hope that the crutch will continue to be more serious, and it is best to postpone it until the officers and soldiers or the Jinyi army who patrolled the Shangyuan Festival come over. Yibi is suspicious again, why has it been so long, and the government hasn't sent anyone over? And even the Jinyi Army didn't move at all?

The crutch saw through Chen Qi's calculations at a glance, and unconsciously sneered and waved the short knife in his hand: "Don't be sloppy with Lao Tzu, I'll count to three, if this little girl doesn't come, I'll cut people." ”

The little girl in the arms of the abductor had already been frightened by the cuts, and when she saw the abductor like this, she became more and more hoarse and distressed. "Daddy Mommy" shouted endlessly.

Seeing this, the second sister was afraid that the things she was holding in her hands would be soaked in sweat for a long time, so she had to run forward.

Seeing the second sister running towards her so quickly. The crutch sneered and said, "I haven't seen it and can't wait to find death." ”

As he spoke, he also let go of the little girl held hostage in his arms. The little girl collapsed on the spot and cried. The little girl was so frightened by the crutch that she got up and stumbled forward.

In the haze of tears, I suddenly heard a young child's voice shouting: "There are sores on the head, pus on the soles of the feet, and the bastard thing with water in the brain, open the dog's eyes and see who the old lady is." ”

Everyone never thought that the second sister was a little child, and she could scold such a bastard scoundrel who could only scold a bastard in wartime, and unconsciously stared at the second sister with wide eyes.

At this time, the second sister had already run in front of the kidnapper, and waved it in the man's eyes, and then took out a few handfuls of powder from her arms and threw it out regardless of it-

Suddenly, everyone only smelled a spicy and stimulating smell, and they all choked and coughed and burst into tears. Only the crutches wearing dark grapes and purple couldn't help but cover their eyes and exhale in pain, and the people in the Chen Mansion had already stared at the crutches when they got Chen Jue's orders, and seeing this, they hurriedly jumped forward and snatched everyone's blades. The second sister was whispering softly, and when she was in a panic, everyone didn't pay attention, and she had already taken advantage of the situation and ran back to her uncle Chen Qi.
