Chapter 144: Asking for Help
Ling'er ran wildly for a while, and didn't stop until she rushed to the gate of the county office, holding her knees and panting for a long time! The guard saw that she was behaving abnormally and was about to drive her away, but she quickly gasped and said that she was going to find Ding to catch her head and stuffed a handful of copper coins. The guard of the door took the copper coin, put it in his sleeve, and looked at her with his hands.
Ling'er was stunned for a moment, do you want to? But now in addition to the 1,000 taels of silver tickets he got from Ding Zhutou, the scattered silver was given to Zhuang Xuewen, and there are only a few copper plates left! She rummaged around her body for a while, turned out all the copper plates she could find, and handed them over with a smile: "Hehe, uncle, I... That's all I have! ”
The official stretched out his hand, took the copper coin, and said lightly: "Ding Zhutou is not here, come back tomorrow!" ”
"Huh? Absence? Uncle, you're ......."
"What? Comments? ”
"No... No! Uncle, you know... Where did Ding Zhu's head go? ”
"I don't know!" The official dropped a sentence, then turned around and walked lazily towards the county office's gatehouse! Ling'er was stunned for a long time, it was obviously very smooth yesterday, how could I meet such a person today! Is......
Ling'er originally wanted to go to Ding Zhutou's house to find it, but the county government was still some distance away from Ding Zhutou's house, and the city was full of people from the Jia family. After thinking about it, she decided to stay at the gate of the county office, she would definitely meet someone she knew, and it would be much safer to ask them to take her to Ding Zhutou's house.
Waited and waited until the evening, and the officials came out of the county government gate one after another in groups of three or five, and it seemed that they were off work? It's a pity that she was unlucky, she stared at it for a long time, and when she saw that everyone was about to run out, she finally saw someone she knew, that... The one who walks at the end and looks down at things seems to be... Tough donkey?
"Uncle, Uncle Donkey!"
The donkey stopped, looked around, paused for a moment when his eyes fell on Ling'er, then turned away again, searched around, and found no one, so he wanted to continue walking, Ling'er simply jumped in front of him and stopped him: "Uncle Donkey!" ”
The donkey frowned and stared at her for a long time, and said with a tiger face: "Where did you come from, the wild girl, no big or small, go while playing!" ”
"Uncle Donkey, you don't know me anymore?" Ling'er leaned her face over, and the donkey stared at her for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't know!" ”
"Huh? No way? We met not long ago! ”
"Go and go, less to set almost, the women I know are all aunts, no girls!"
Ling'er was stunned for a moment, by the way, she is now dressed as a woman, and she was a fair-skinned and quiet little boy when she was arguing with him in Banlin Town! She touched her head and smirked a few times: "Hehe, Uncle Donkey, you may not know me, but my aunt said that you are a good person and often help the neighbors, uncle, can you also do me a favor?" ”
"Help?" The donkey frowned and looked at Ling'er for a moment, then frowned and said, "What do you help?" ”
"Hehe, it's actually very simple, I just want to find Ding Zhutou, but he is not in the county office, can you trouble Uncle Donkey to take me to Ding Zhutou's house?"
"Ding Zhutou's family? It's just north of the city, and everyone in the city knows, what are you doing with your mouth? Can't ask for a way? Really! The donkey glanced at the disdainful slanted Ling'er, muttered and walked away!
Ling'er twitched the corners of her mouth, this guy, his mouth is lacking in virtue! She endured it, stomped her foot to catch up, she decided, she decided to rely on this guy today, and he had to take her to Ding Zhutou's house, otherwise she would go to his house and not leave!
Seeing that this girl was following him with a dead face, the donkey couldn't drive away, and it was useless to be scared, so in desperation, he had to agree to take Ling'er to Ding Zhutou's house! There was a servant who led the way, and sure enough, the road was smooth, but the Jia family who was all over the street before seemed to have evaporated and disappeared completely.
Ling'er arrived at Ding Zhutou's house and the sun had set, she first found a place to change into men's clothes, and then went to the concierge to find Lao Shentouer! It's a pity that Ding Zhutou is not at home, it is said that he has something to do this morning, and he will not come back in a few days!
Ding Zhutou is in trouble if he is not there, what should I do, I have to wait until he comes back to go home? Seeing that Ling'er was very anxious, Old Shentou asked, "Boy, do you have something to do with our young master?" ”
Ling'er looked up at him for a moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he looked around carefully, and then leaned into the ear of the old Shen Tou'er, and said mysteriously: "Grandpa Shen, I won't tell you, I am really in a hurry to find Ding Zhutou, and it is related to the medicine lead, alas! I thought that I could solve it by finding Ding's house, but Ding Zhutou was not at home, what should I do! ”
As soon as the old Shen Tou'er heard the medicine introduction, he immediately became interested, and he pulled Ling'er and said, "Boy, what medicine introduction?" ”
"It's the old lady's medicine! Ding Zhutou asked me to help him find a few more herbs. I remembered that my relatives in Yunwu Mountain seemed to have it, and I wanted to rush to ask immediately, but unfortunately for some reason, since this morning, there has been a group of fierce and vicious people at the city gate, specifically arresting a child as big as me, so that I can't get out of the city gate, so I want to ask Ding Zhutou to help! ”
"Huh? Specifically catching children? But the gatekeeper is arresting people? ”
"No, those people are wearing family clothes, I heard that it seems that someone surnamed Jia is looking for someone!"
"The Jia family? What is the Jia family doing with their children? ”
"I don't know about this, I was almost caught by them just now, and if it weren't for Uncle Donkey, I wouldn't be here! Grandpa Shen, when will Ding Zhutou come back, I'm so scared! ”
Old Shen snorted angrily: "Hmph, the Jia family knows that they are evil, and they don't even let go of children, they will be punished sooner or later!" Boy, don't be afraid, my old Shen boss has a way! ”
Ling'er was overjoyed: "Really? Grandpa Shen, do you have a way to get me out of the city safely? ”
"Of course, you come with me!"
When it was dark, a four-horse luxury carriage walked slowly towards the east gate of the county seat, until the city gate, the Jia family jumped out to block the way, and shouted: "Stop, check!" ”
The coachman stopped the carriage, glanced at the family, and said lightly: "You dare to stop the car of the old lady of the Ding family in the north of the city!" ”
"The old lady of the Ding family? Isn't that old woman going to die...... Ah~~~It hurts~~~~It hurts~~~~"
Ling'er lifted the curtain and saw that the Jia family was rolling all over the ground with their heads in their hands, and a few other people grabbed sticks and surrounded them! The coachman was unhurried, looked at the Jia family with his hands on his chest condescendingly and said, "Hmph, if you want to find death, just let the horse come!" ”
The Jia family members glanced at each other, shouted and gathered together, seeing that the stick was about to fall on the coachman, Ling'er even turned his head away and couldn't bear to look at it, and after a few clicks, it was the sound of the men screaming in pain. After a while, the coachman said lightly: "Hmph, it's up to you, don't even think of touching half a hair of me if you come ten more!" ”
Hey! The driver's voice is calm? Ling'er opened her eyes and saw that all the Jia family members fell to the ground, holding their hands and feet and crying loudly, and the coachman of the carriage was still sitting leisurely in the driver's position, as if he hadn't even moved his position! Hey, it's a master? Ling'er not only looked at the coachman twice.
This coachman is about forty years old, with an ordinary appearance and an average figure, wearing a uniform blue robe of the Ding family, there is nothing special on the surface, and if you pay a little attention, you will find that this person's eyes are clear and his aura is not ordinarily powerful!
Tsk, it's really a master! No wonder the old Shen Tou said confidently when he sent him to the carriage before: "Boy, where are you going, just tell the coachman, don't worry!" As long as it is the boundary of our Cangping County, no one dares to do anything to you! ”
Ling'er sat in a spacious carriage and swaggered out of the east gate of the county seat. She climbed out of the carriage, pulled the coachman's sleeve and said, "Uncle, you are so amazing!" ”
The coachman hummed lightly but didn't answer, Ling'er said with great interest: "Uncle, you are so good at kung fu, why are you only working as a coachman in the Ding family?" Is the rest of the Ding family so powerful? ”
Ling'er saw that the coachman didn't answer, so she thought to herself, "Ah, I know, when you were young, you must have been a hero who walked the rivers and lakes and eliminated violence and peace, and after several twists and turns, he suddenly saw through the red dust and wanted to find a place to live in seclusion and live a quiet life, right?" You are willing to come to the Ding family because the master of the Ding family is benevolent and can protect you thoroughly, right? ”
The coachman glanced back at Ling'er, shook his head funny, and still didn't talk. Along the way, Ling'er chattered about all kinds of possibilities, but no matter what she said, the coachman never answered, and occasionally responded with a faint smile!
The carriage staggered all the way to Dongpo Village, and it was already dark. The coachman hung lanterns around the carriage and stopped in front of the cattle hospital, Ling'er jumped out of the carriage and ran to the courtyard shouting: "Sixth and tenth sisters Qi, where are everyone?" I'm back, come out! Ten sisters, Zhuang Er, Liao San ......"
Ling'er shouted around the yard twice, but not a single child showed up, but the door of the main house opened, and the cow doctor came out to see Ling'er and said in surprise: "Little girl, why are you back?" ”
Ling'er frowned: "Uncle, my brothers and sisters are all here with you, of course they are coming back, are they?" Where is it? ”
The cow doctor was even more surprised: "Didn't they go into the city to find you?" ”
"What!" Ling'er jumped up suddenly: "Look for me!" They... When did they leave? Are they all gone? Big strong? What should I do if I get hurt? ”
"Alas, those children said that they were worried that you would be bullied in the city, and they had to go, and they couldn't stop you! I don't know where they went to get a board car, put the injured child on the board car, and several children pulled the board car together! Why, little girl, you didn't meet them? ”
Ling'er was stunned for a long time, and suddenly pulled the cow doctor and said, "Uncle, after they left, did anyone come to the village?" ”
"Someone? This one... I heard that there were a few people in the village who inquired about the children...... Little girl, have you offended someone? ”
Ling'er didn't have time to think about that, so she asked nervously: "Uncle, do you know which direction they are going?" ”
"I don't know, I just sent them out of the hospital, and someone came to me to treat the cow, and I didn't go out with them!" (To be continued.)
