Chapter 17: Shelter from the Rain (1)

Summer in Tongzhou is not too hot. It was overcast that evening, and it looked like it was about to rain.

After Zhou Xiaofu finished dinner, she leaned against the wall of the bedroom, pointed up on her toes, raised her two hands upwards and crossed each other, and let herself look up as much as possible.

And Lan's mother is sitting on the table next to her with a candle sewing clothes, Lan's mother has received enough new things in the past two days, and she is no longer surprised to see Zhou Xiaofu's strange movements.

Boom, thunder and lightning suddenly outside, heavy rain came suddenly, and this is how the summer thunderstorm came so violently and quickly.

After a quarter of an hour, Zhou Xiaofu felt that her head was full of sweat, and when Lan's mother saw it, she came over to wipe Zhou Xiaofu's sweat with a doting face, "Fourth Miss will rest."

Zhou Xiaofu just shook her head and didn't speak, she was practicing with a breath, she was afraid that she would be discouraged as soon as she spoke.

After a while, it was almost dark, and Zhou Xiaofu practiced for a whole hour, and her body was soaked with sweat.

Lan's mother also sewed almost it.

Zhou Xiaofu called Cuihua and Ziling to prepare hot water for themselves.

After taking a beautiful bath, Zhou Xiaofu changed into a clean undershirt, wrapped her hair in a handkerchief and sat on the edge of the bed.

Hearing the sound of fast-paced footsteps outside the door, Zhou Xiaofu thought to herself that she usually arranged for Cuihua and they would not come over when they were not coming, so could there be something wrong with this coming.

Soon Cuihua's voice came from outside the door: "Fourth Miss, Tu came to report that someone came to take shelter from the rain, please show Miss"

At this time, I came to take shelter from the rain, I am afraid that it will be pedestrians passing by.

Zhou Xiaofu explained: "There are many female dependents in the courtyard today, don't let people enter the main courtyard, let Zhang Qianxi's sister and brother move to the backyard, and the two guards will go to the ear room of the main courtyard first." Let the visitors rest in the front yard, and let the Tu family entertain them. "

Zhou Xiaofu felt a little uneasy in her heart, who is still in a hurry on this rainy day.

Standing in front of the window, I saw the guards helping Zhang Qianxi's younger brother pass by the main courtyard and go to the backyard. After that, there was not much movement, it was quiet, and even Tu Shi did not come back.

Zhou Xiaofu couldn't be quiet anymore.

So he sat on the bed and concentrated on the front yard to investigate, and vaguely saw that Tu was serving food, but his face was very bad, and in the room next to him sat a young man in a brocade robe, and there was a woman next to him holding a child in her arms, and she was shaking and coaxing the child, so she couldn't see where Wang Yousi went.

Zhou Xiaofu felt more and more strange in her heart, and continued to look at the kitchen on the side, only to see two men dressed as guards staring at Wang Yousi and lighting the fire again, and he had to stare at it if he burned a fire, there was something wrong with this.

Zhou Xiaofu didn't care about her hair that hadn't dried yet, so she quickly got dressed and came out to find Mother Lan and Cuihua, and the two were still talking about this in the house.

I was also startled when I saw Zhou Xiaofu coming in with a cloak, and immediately stepped forward to ask what was wrong.

Zhou Xiaofu didn't care about explaining anything, so he hurriedly arranged it, which made them worry about the lives of the entire Zhuangzi.

Cuihua quickly found two guards according to Zhou Xiaofu's arrangement. Zhou Xiaofu talked to the two guards for a while, and the two of them felt that the situation was serious, so they hurriedly acted.

At this time, Zhou Xiaofu hurried back to her yard, asked Cuihua to comb her hair, dressed herself, and found a pair of sneakers from the space to quickly put them on.

After settling down, Zhou Xiaofu asked Ziling and Lan's mother to go to the front yard to inquire, and she quietly took another guard to the side gate of the front yard.

Mother Lan and Ziling quarreled with the guards at the door according to Zhou Xiaofu's request, and pulled and pulled, and let another guard break into the living room from the main entrance, at this time the man in the brocade robe also came out and fought with the guards.

Zhou Xiaofu hurriedly jumped in from the window on the east side, and as soon as she entered, she slashed the neck of the woman who was looking at the door with a hand knife.

After returning to the master bedroom, Zhou Xiaofu put the child on the bed and let Cuihua watch, while she stood in front of the window and surveyed it with her mental power.

This group of people is not ordinary people, and the momentum of the man who sees through the brocade robe is obviously an official or a member of the royal family.

Zhou Xiaofu saw that there was a sudden chaos in the front yard, and they were all looking for children, so they sat up quietly, and now it seems that they are still safe for the time being.

After a while, there was a sound of close footsteps, and Zhou Xiaofu knew that it was someone coming.

A man at the window said, "Miss, don't you want to go down and sit down?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if men and women kiss or not." ”

The brocade-robed man outside was stunned, thinking that this woman was calm.

continued: "Since you are not invited, we will go in by ourselves." ”

"Didn't you notice that we were missing a guard?" Zhou Xiaofu laughed.

"If you ride a fast horse, I'm afraid you'll already be at the post station in the township." Zhou Xiaofu smiled and continued.

The brocade-robed man frowned and glanced at the person behind him, and then stopped talking.

After about a quarter of an hour, one of the guards came and gestured with his hands. So the man in the brocade robe said to the window, "I think it's better for us to talk, girl." ”

Zhou Xiaofu said after a while: "Childe is very insincere." ”

"Where are all my people as guests, how can I be a woman to meet a foreign man alone."

The brocade-robed man frowned outside, no woman dared to say the conditions in front of him, but this would be his negligence, there were hostages in his hands, and he had no choice.

He raised his hand to his subordinates.

After a while, Mother Lan, Ziling, Wang's husband and wife, two children, and a guard all came over, Mother Lan looked frightened, but when she entered the door, she saw Zhou Xiaofu with a calm face, and immediately stood behind Zhou Xiaofu.

After seeing that several people came back intact, Zhou Xiaofu asked Ziling to invite people outside the door to come in.

Zhou Xiaofu and the others sat on the right side of the living room near the direction of their bedroom, letting the guards and Cuihua stand together with their children, and the Wang family and his wife were standing on the periphery, and they were sitting on the chairs in the living room.

After a while, a young man of seventeen or eighteen came in, this young man was very imposing, wearing a blue brocade robe, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes were very eye-catching.

And the brocade-robed man also looked at the only girl sitting in the hall, and raised his eyebrows again in surprise, this slightly plump little girl looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, and she looked very heroic. was able to force himself to let everyone go, this time his actions were completely confidential, and he had already arrived at the place where the child was entrusted, and no one could know that he had come, but now the initiative was not here, which made him feel very angry.

Zhou Xiaofu didn't speak, but looked at the brocade-robed man quietly.

The brocade-robed man suddenly laughed, "How do you know what's going on in the front yard?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and didn't answer, but said directly: "Where does Childe come from, where is he going, and what he plans to do, none of us here know or plan to know, so please leave Childe." ”

The man in the brocade robe was really stunned, this girl was much smarter than he imagined, and she could see her purpose, and she was calm beyond this age, how did the girl of the Shilang family cultivate this week.

"Then girl, how are you going to control the mouths of the people below you?" The man in the brocade robe was also interested in continuing to talk about the conditions, not knocking on the side.

"How can we guarantee that even if we are fools, we can see the strength of Childe, I believe that my people will forget about it immediately, no matter how much money is more important than life." Zhou Xiaofu took a sip of tea, said quietly, and by the way, raised her eyes and glanced at Cuihua who was coaxing the child.

The man in the brocade robe also saw Zhou Xiaofu's small movements, and his heart was extremely depressed, he hated the feeling of being threatened.

"In that case, we'll go when the rain stops. But girl, you have to make sure that the news doesn't come out. The brocade-robed man said helplessly.

The child squinted his eyes and yawned a little in Cuihua's arms, the little child looked like he was only three months old.
