Chapter 124: Dependence

West Mountain, Cliff.

A crooked-necked jujube tree grew tenaciously from a crack in the rock, and the branches and leaves were full of fruit, and perhaps the wind of the night blew off one of the branches, and the branch hung low until it reached the top of a cave in the cliff, and the mottled shadows of the trees were reflected in the smooth rocks opposite, swaying gently in the wind.

Immediately, a big hand reached out, groped and grabbed the trunk of the tree, and with a hard pull, the trunk snapped and fell, and was quickly dragged into the cave by the people in the cave.

Tong Jingyi's joyful voice suddenly came from the cave: "Yu Niang, it's done, you see so many dried dates." ”

"It's a lot, you eat it quickly." Mu Yu wrapped the cloak on his body, and barely had a smile on his rapidly emaciated face, for three days, the two of them only relied on a stream that meandered in the cave, if it weren't for Tong Jingyi bringing a few pieces of snacks with him at that time, the two of them would have been unable to hold on.

They were hungry and cold.

The cave seems to have been carved by man, and there is a two-step-wide rock extending from the entrance of the cave, and if it weren't for the two-step-wide rock, the two would have died at the bottom of the valley.

The cave was zigzag, like a passage, probably abandoned halfway through something, and at the end of the passage was a mossy boulder.

Tong Jingyi picked the red jujube that had already dried between the branches and leaves, and smiled with a pale face: "You eat first." ”

In fact, as early as when he first saw her, he had a good impression of this cheerful woman, but at that time she was already a wife, and it was inconvenient for him to show his appreciation for her, and now, she was alone, and the old emotions were rekindled, so he stubbornly waited.

Who knows, now he has affected her, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have fallen into such a situation.

Now, on this cliff, the heavens should not be called, and the earth is not spiritual, and he hopes that she can hold on until someone comes to save them.

"Eat together, or I won't eat either." Mu Yu shook her head, things have come to such a world, what's the use of her living alone, if she wants to die, let's die together!

"Okay, don't talk anymore, keep your body." Tong Jingyi took a jujube and stuffed it into her mouth, stuffed another one into her mouth, and said softly, "Let's eat together." ”

The two of them were taken aback, and they also had some strength in their bodies.

Only then did Tong Jingyi walk to the edge of the protruding rock at the entrance of the cave, and shouted loudly to the bottom of the valley with his internal force: "Ah Qi, do you still have anything to eat below?" We've picked some dates, so why don't you throw some down? ”

At that time, Ah Qi and Mu Yu found this place together, Mu Yu stepped on the air and fell, Ah Qi also jumped down, pushing Mu Yu to the cave, but he fell to the bottom because of the huge impact.

The three of them were divided into two places.

"No, I found a lot of dates just now, probably just falling." At the bottom of the valley, there was a calm voice of Ah Qi, she sat firmly on the rock, closed her eyes slightly, and there was nothing else in front of her except the rock.

In order to keep her body, she stopped talking, and just sat there motionless, knowing that since the Pavilion Master had already contacted her with a code, someone would soon come to save them.

At this time, she suddenly heard a few cuckoo calls in the air, and her heart suddenly became excited, and she hurriedly responded, got up and looked around.

A long rattan rope hung down silently in front of her, Ah Qi's eyes lit up, he quickly cheered up, and climbed up with his hands and feet neatly dragging the rattan rope, until he saw Ah Qin, who was still expressionless, and a few people behind him, hurriedly walked a few steps, knelt on the ground, and said in a dumb voice: "Pavilion master." After speaking, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he fell into the snow.

"Get her into the carriage." Ah Qin commanded.

Ah Shu hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

"You go and rescue the two people trapped in the cave and send them back to the Hou Mansion, remember, don't mention the three words Zi Comb Pavilion." Ah Qin commanded the other two young women with a blank face.

The two of them hurriedly answered, and took out the rope with the iron hook from their bosom and threw it into the cliff opposite, and slid along the rope silently.

Shen Qingli waited for news in the house with some trepidation.

Right now, Mu Changyuan and Mu Yunting are not there, the Su family is not a reliable one, and the Huangfu family is recovering from a serious illness and cannot be alarmed, and Mu Yu will be in danger for a moment if they stay in the Xishan enclosure, so they ordered Ah Qin to take people to the enclosure to save people.

If you wait for Mu Yunting to come back, who knows what will happen.

At this time, Taozhi lifted the curtain and walked in to say, the Shilang Mansion had just sent a post, and Mu Yunting's aunt Xiao Wu asked Shen Qingli to meet in Weixian Residence, saying that there was something important to discuss.

Shen Qingli guessed that Xiao Wu was worried about Mu Yu's affairs, so he took Ah Hua and Cui Zhi to the appointment happily, leaving Bi Tao and Tao Zhi to wait for news in the mansion.

Cuizhi saw that Shen Qingli always compared her with Ah Hua, and suddenly felt a little unhappy in her heart, but it was not easy to have a seizure, so she had to follow out the door sullenly.

Every time something good happens, it doesn't take her turn.

Who wants to follow this ice and snow?

Wei Xianju is not far from the back street of the alley, because the chef inside is specially selected by the boss from Tiannan and Haibei, so it can take care of the taste of each guest, especially the best in the northwest cuisine, so Wei Xianju is famous in the capital, and is often the favorite place of people in the northwest border such as Jingzhou Youzhou.

3rd floor, private room.

Xiao Wu sat by the window, looked at Shen Qingli who was sitting opposite her, and smiled sadly: "Li Niang, my aunt is really useless, Yu Niang's disappearance is such a big thing, I didn't know about it until now, I'm really ashamed." ”

"Auntie must not say this, this incident is an accident, how could my aunt know about it at that time." Shen Qingli saw a trace of loss flashing in her eyes, and hurriedly comforted, "Auntie, don't worry, my sister will be fine." ”

If nothing else, then Aqin and the others should also come back at this time.

"Yu Niang has such a big thing, presumably your mother-in-law won't be in a hurry at all, right?" Xiao Wu sneered, "That woman is the best at pretending, and she can't wait for Yu Niang to never come back." ”

"Mother, she has been sending people to look for her, and she is also very worried these days." Shen Qingli said quietly.

The festival between Xiao Wu and Su, she didn't want to follow the harmony.

"Li Niang, you don't have to say good things for her, I still know about that scheming woman, don't believe it, you see that when your father-in-law comes back, she will definitely pretend to be haggard and show your father-in-law, so that your father-in-law can say that she is virtuous, and that she treats the children in the front room as her own, I will do it." Xiao Wu took a sip and said hatefully, "Perhaps, this accident is a trap set by your mother-in-law, you think, how can a good horse be frightened?" ”

"Although this matter is strange, we have no evidence, and it is difficult to say that it was done by my mother." Shen Qingli said softly, the contradiction between these two people is really deep.

I used to occasionally hear the Huangfu family talk about it, saying that she hoped that the aunt of the Wu family would marry into the Hou Mansion as a stepfamily, so that she could take care of the two children, but later she didn't know what means the Su family used, so she forced Mu Changyuan to quit the relationship with the Wu family and straighten the Su family.

If these two people don't have any mustard in their hearts, it seems impossible, but after so many years, the resentment in Xiao Wu's heart is still so strong, which shows how much she hated Su back then.

"Li Niang, you are too naΓ―ve, how can you catch that woman's evidence casually." Xiao Wu shook his head and said, "I heard that you took someone to the Xishan Tea House last night, do you suspect that Yu Niang is there for King Jin?" ”

"Auntie, Tong Gongzi's horse was frightened there, and I searched for a few days in the house but couldn't find it, so I took someone over to have a look." Shen Qingli didn't know if Ah Qin had rescued Mu Yu and them, so it was not easy to tell them bluntly for a while, if Ah Qin had rescued Mu Yu, and Xiao Wu went to King Jin to ask for someone because of this, wouldn't the matter be deadlocked.

Her idea was that since King Jin didn't admit that Mu Yu and them were on his territory, then she didn't have to ask him for someone openly, and let Ah Qin and them rescue people unconsciously.

"Li Niang, if you suspect that Yu Niang is in the King of Jin, just tell me, I will go to ask the King of Jin, although I will not step into your Hou Mansion again in this life, but Yu Niang and Hong Yuan are my nephews after all, their affairs are my affairs, and I will definitely not stand idly by." Xiao Wu said hatefully.

Shen Qingli hurriedly nodded yes.

"I know that you are not used to eating the dishes in the capital, so my aunt asked you to come here, please try this large plate of chicken in Xianju, this is the flavor of your Jingzhou, and it is also the specialty dish of this Xianju." After a pause, Xiao Wu's face softened a little, and he turned his head and ordered, "Let the kitchen see if the chicken is ready." ”

"Yes." The little maid in the blue armor walked out quickly.

"My aunt is so thoughtful, I'm really ashamed, I should have invited my aunt." Shen Qingli said.

"Don't worry, I'll give you this opportunity, when Hongyuan comes back, you can invite me here for a meal with him." Xiao Wu smiled, and there were some shallow fine lines at the corners of his eyes, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of warmth.

"Definitely, when Hongyuan comes back, we will invite my aunt to dinner." That, the day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and he should come back.

Soon, a steaming large plate of chicken was served, the color was shiny, the fragrance was attractive, the red pepper was mixed in it, and a layer of green green onions was sprinkled on top, which was full of color and flavor.

Cuizhi was busy with the vegetables.

Ah Hua glanced back and forth at the door and the window, Xiao Wu noticed this burly girl, and suddenly felt interesting, so he asked with a smile: "Girl, what are you looking at?" ”

"The slave is watching to see if anyone will break in through the window or door, so that they can protect the young lady at any time." Ah Hua replied solemnly.

"Oh, will you protect me? I am the aunt of your young lady. Xiao Wu continued to quip.

"No, it won't." Ah Hua shook his head without thinking and said seriously, "The slave is only responsible for the safety of the young lady. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door slammed open. R1152
