Chapter 106: The Return
Three pairs of hopeful eyes fell on Shen Xingchen, and a sense of guilt rose in his heart. She nodded slowly: "I may probably know, but I have a request that I hope Mrs. Li can grant me." ”
Don't say one now, even if it's ten hundred, Mrs. Li is busy nodding: "Okay, good, we will agree to what we can't do." As long as you take us to Chang'an. ”
"I want the blood jade in your hand, the blood jade that used to be Luo Ruxue's dowry. ”
Li Qiaochu frowned slightly, this blood jade was indeed Luo Ruxue's dowry, it was a little strange to see it at the beginning, it happened that Luo Yucai was short of money during that time, so he made a deal with Luo Yucai. As long as the two of them know about this matter, where did Shen Xingchen know about this. And Shen Xingchen is not a girl from the Yun family, she is actually pretending to be a ghost, will she have any plans......
"Here, take it out. ”
Master Li slapped Li Qiaochu on the head, and his voice was so loud that Li Qiaochu was stunned. He squinted his eyes and pursed his lips to show his dissatisfaction, but he still obediently sent someone to fetch the jade pendant.
Shen Xingchen didn't expect that in order to show his sincerity, Master Li would actually give her the blood jade now.
Shen Xingchen held the hand of the blood jade and rubbed it carefully, the familiar touch, the familiar temperature, Shen Xingchen raised his hand and refracted the light of the jade pendant, and sure enough, he saw a thin crack in the middle of the jade pendant.
"This jade pendant is yours. ”
Li Qiaochu only found that there was an imperceptible crack in the middle of the jade pendant when he got it for two or three months, and after that, he had no intention of collecting or playing with it at all, no matter how rare it was, it was just a broken product. Even the slightest observation of the damage is impossible to see at a glance, unless the thing is extremely familiar.
Shen Xingchen did not deny it.
"Madame, I don't know exactly where he is, but I first saw him in the slums of North Street. ”
When the words fell, Master Li immediately sent the housekeeper to explain, and the housekeeper left in a hurry. After a while, the two neat rows of housekeepers were ready, just waiting for the master's order. There are no less than 40 people, and this huge team really went to the streets to find people or arrest people.
Mrs. Li grabbed Shen Xingchen's hand again: "Miss Xiaoyue, you have seen him a few times, you will definitely recognize him when you see him again, I have a reluctant request, I want to ask you to come with us." ”
The blood jade was easy to get her hands on, but Shen Xingchen felt empty and unreal in her heart, and she nodded: "Okay." In his mind, he suddenly thought of the time when Qiao Er asked him to rob him, and he couldn't say all the words he stumbled, and the Li family was not scared to hide when he went out of the city. still made a suggestion: "He is very timid, there are so many of you, I am afraid that he will hide if he is frightened, and it will increase the difficulty of finding him when the time comes." ”
Master Li thought for a moment and felt reasonable, and immediately made adjustments, Li Qiaochu volunteered to lead the team, and finally cut the number of travelers in half, and Mrs. Li and Master Li naturally couldn't go.
The personnel are full of energy, and the team is ready to go. Shen Xingchen put the blood jade into his chest, thinking that if he found the little beggar, he would go directly to Jia Gongyi, maybe he would be able to leave Tongcheng County tonight.
With a stirring heart, as soon as he walked out of the gate of the Li family with everyone, he actually saw Jia Gongyi, and there was a little boy by his side. The boy is very thin and weak, not tall, only up and down Jia Gongyi's waist, dressed in green clothes neat and close-fitting, with delicate facial features, inexplicably pale face, and a pair of eyes shining as if hiding stars.
Finally, I saw the real face of the little beggar who had cleaned up. Shen Xingchen turned his head to look at Li Qiaochu, in fact, there were four or five points of similarity between the eyebrows and eyes of the two.
The little beggar saw Shen Xingchen's eyebrows bent, and trotted in front of her with some joy and called out softly to her sister.
"Why did you come to the Li family!"
The little boy turned his head to look at Jia Gongyi: "My brother brought me here!"
Shen Xingchen: "......" Li Qiaochu is your brother, that brother in white is a fake, he may just bring you over to find your brother! Jia Gongyi is no different from sending charcoal in the snow!
"You, you ......"
Li Qiaochu was shocked, you didn't say a complete sentence for a long time. The boy smiled a little shyly, turned around and shrank in front of him, and suddenly bent down and saluted: "I'm sorry, I stole your purse that day!"
The boy apologized seriously, Li Qiaochu touched his head and scratched his cheeks, very uncomfortable, reached out and wanted to touch his face, the boy's face turned pale, thinking that Li Qiaochu was going to hit him, but his body trembled but he didn't dodge, and he closed his eyes heroically and waited for the baptism of the storm.
Li Qiaochu's shrunken hand hanging in mid-air finally didn't fall, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and his voice fluctuated and comforted: "It's okay, I know you're a good boy!"
When the boy heard Li Qiaochu's answer, he raised his lips and smiled at him, with guilt in his eyes: "It's my fault to steal things, although I asked my sister to return it to you later, but Childe's money bag is too similar to mine, if I didn't see the different lines in it later, I wouldn't have found it." ”
The boy took out Li Qiaochu's money bag from his arms, and even pleaded a little with a sincere expression to say what he thought in his heart: "Although the money can not be a valuable thing, but I have always carried it with me, I came today, the first is to apologize to Gongzi seriously, the second is to return this thing to its original owner, and the third is to sincerely hope that Gongzi can return the money bag to me regardless of previous suspicions!"
Reasonable, sincere, layer by layer, where is there still a little shadow of the original little stammer.
Li Qiaochu nodded heavily: "Okay, the thing will return to its original owner." Reaching out to take the thin young man, he was still a little scared, his palms clenched into fists, his eyes stared at the white and slender fingers in a daze, and he turned his head to look behind him. Jia Gongyi nodded lightly at him, and the two met their eyes, as if they were conveying some kind of information.
What is definitely the secret between these two people? When Shen Xingchen thought like this, the boy had already put his hand in the palm of Li Qiaochu's hand. The big hand led the small hand into the Li family, and the group of people behind him also knew the identity of the little boy from the conversation just now, and happily entered the room, leaving Shen Xingchen and Jia Gongyi behind. Shen Xingchen looked at the small figure that had been blurred, raised her feet and walked two steps, her arms warmed, and she turned her head to meet Jia Gongyi's gaze.
"What do you want to do at a time like this? ”
Although I didn't see it, I already imagined in my mind what a tear-jerking scene it would be for them to reunite after a long absence. Yes, at this time, these people are redundant.
"How did you know the identity of the little beggar? ”
The two walked side by side for a while, Shen Xingchen was entangled in his heart whether to give the blood jade to Jia Gongyi now, Jia Gongyi looked ahead with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his steps were leisurely, as if he was really just passing by or coming here for a walk.
I couldn't help but ask. Jia Gongyi's sent-on-like gift is really undoubtful. Of course, he can know a lot of things, and it is not surprising for Shen Xingchen to know this.
Jia Gongyi has been more and more fond of raising eyebrows recently, she finally turned her head to look at Shen Xingchen, Shen Xingchen thought that he would either answer questions or ask him about blood jade, but he didn't, he looked at Shen Xingchen's face in a daze for a while, and seemed to smile: "Didn't you say that you are going to marry into the Yun family in the near future, what, you look at Yun'an, don't you plan to leave?"
Hehe, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. Shen Xingchen also didn't smile: "You also believe hearsay." According to Shen Tianbao's personality, he wished that everyone knew this information, but now that his mother is dead, maybe he will have bad thoughts and help Luo Yucai to fight for the tiger.
Thinking of this, Shen Xingchen felt that he had to run away as soon as possible. She took out the blood jade from her arms and handed it to Jia Gongyi with a little reluctance: "How is it possible, I can't wait to leave immediately." By the way, you said that you won't hinder me anymore, and you can be a man of your word. ”
Jia Gongyi took the blood jade casually, glanced at it lightly and withdrew it into his arms, his eyes were smiling, and he said in a slightly regretful tone: "Of course." I'm curious, where do you want to go?"
Shen Xingchen didn't stop, turned his head and glanced at him, and got his assurance that his voice was in a few tones: "We are not an alliance now, this is my freedom, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
Such a straightforward and bold refusal, and she was not afraid of offending the allies who had threatened her, of course, Jia Gongyi was indeed not angry, her eyebrows were kind, and her face was pleasant, as if Shen Xingchen did not say it to him.
"Who said it doesn't matter, although allies can't be done, friends, benefactors, no matter how big it is, there is still a brother's relationship. ”
Shen Xingchen's eyelids suddenly jumped, and his heart also accelerated: "...... "If I have an unscrupulous brother like you, I must have caused abuse in my previous life."
Actually, think about it, although Jia Gongyi has calculated a lot, but she has not really hurt her, everyone in this world has something to want, but everyone's position is different that causes a situation of embarrassment for each other. In order to save the people he wants to save, he also wants to return to a normal life as soon as possible, no one is wrong, but everyone is at fault. Wrong, wrong, right, right, who can really measure it, is just to do it with your heart, ask for one to do your best, ask for one to be at ease, and ask for one to leave no regrets.
Thinking about it this way, it can actually be regarded as a friend, but unfortunately the two are not on the same road after all, and sooner or later they will have to go their separate ways...... She should have been the only one on this road, and now she is just returning to normal.
The white shadow flashed in front of him, Shen Xingchen's chaotic eyes gradually cleared, and a face like an immortal was reflected in his pupils, his starry eyes were shining, and his thin lips moved slightly: "I understand your urgency, but before leaving, I want to take you to meet someone, and after meeting, it is not too late for you to decide." ”
Shen Xingchen thought that he was going to some secret base or some secret location, which material road was familiar, things were familiar, people were acquaintances, no, to be exact, not very familiar. But why did you tie Xu Daoyi up? Shen Xingchen squinted at the people around him, and complained in his heart that he was rebellious, and the sky was thundering, but if he looked closely, he could still see the clues!
