Chapter 12: The Trap
Master Ji San begged again and again, and finally Ji Xiaotang nodded.
"If my father finds out, uncle remember not to let me suffer." Ji Xiaotang instructed Master Ji San.
"Definitely, definitely." When Master Ji San saw that Ji Xiaotang agreed, the dark clouds above his head immediately dispersed. "Xiaotang, don't worry, whatever is really there, I will bear it."
After sending away Master Ji San, Ji Xiaotang asked Jin'er and Xiu'er to add a new lamp to the table, and then brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
"Girl, do you want to write homework for the third master?" Xiu'er prepared paper and pen for Ji Xiaotang on the one hand, and persuaded Ji Xiaotang on the other. "The girl is not in good health now, so why bother to light the lamp and boil the oil. Even if you want to do it, it's not too late to wait until tomorrow to do it. ”
"Sister Xiu'er is right." Jin'er also advised Ji Xiaotang to rest early.
"You didn't see the third master in a hurry. Since I agreed, I will do it sooner or later. "And this time I have to do it very carefully, so as to be able to hide it from Second Master Ji, and I have to make Second Master Ji happy.
On this day, the second master Ji came back from the library pavilion with a smile on his face.
This is extremely rare.
"Master, what's the happy event? The third brother has grown up in school? When Mrs. Ji saw it, she asked with a smile.
Second Master Ji took the wet handkerchief from the girl's hand and wiped his hands, then nodded to Second Mrs. Ji.
"Looking at his homework, although it is still a little rough, it has indeed grown. I said that it was because he was unwilling to pay attention to it before. "Second Master Ji came over and sat on the chair." Xiaotang still understands his uncle, and this method is good. ”
Ji Xiaotang was in the second wife's house at this time, and he was secretly relieved to see that the homework he had done had successfully concealed from the second master Ji.
Things have already become five, and the next step is even more inconsequential.
"Daddy, mother," Ji Xiaotang said slowly to Ji Er and Ji Er's wife, she felt a little bored, and it just so happened that she felt a lot better in the past two days, which meant that she wanted to go out for a walk and relax.
Coincidentally, there are a lot of things going on at home these days, and the second master and the second wife of Ji can't be separated to accompany Ji Xiaotang out.
"Wait two more days, and my mother will take you out of the city for a walk." Mrs. Ji said.
The weather is getting warmer, and some people are already out of the city. Ji Xiaotang is only ten years old, and Mrs. Ji is not worried that she will go out alone.
Ji Xiaotang nodded and didn't say anything more.
When it was time for dinner, everyone was still eating in Mrs. Ji's house. Mrs. Ji was full of spring breeze, looking at Master Ji San with a smile in her eyebrows. Obviously, Master Ji San passed his homework today, and he had already gone to Mrs. Ji's side to report the good news and curry favor.
During the meal, Mrs. Ji discussed with Second Master Ji.
"He's been depressed for a few days. When you study, don't you also pay attention to a relaxed and righteous person. It just so happens that you've been busy for the past two days, how about giving him a day off tomorrow? ”
Mrs. Ji has never read a book, and she can still say that Zhang Chi has a way, it must have been the third master of Ji San.
Mrs. Ji said this, and Mr. Ji San only pretended to be okay and didn't speak.
Second Master Ji knew that this must be the third master's idea. He thought for a moment, then nodded.
Since Master Ji San is willing to work hard, then he should also give him some sweetness from time to time, as Mrs. Ji said, there is a way to relax.
"Then relax him for a day. It's okay to go out for a walk, but it's not allowed to fool around with fox friends like yours again. "The second master of Ji will sue the third master of Ji.
Master Ji San couldn't wait for this, and he didn't care about it at the moment.
Anyway, it is impossible for Second Master Ji to follow him. As long as he goes out of the mansion, he doesn't always say the count.
"Uncle is fine." Ji Xiaotang said in a low voice, "I also want to go out of the city to disperse, but my father and mother don't have time to accompany me." ”
"Uncle is with you." When Master Ji San heard it, he immediately said.
With Ji Xiaotang, it would be difficult to meet his ordinary friends. It's not easy to work this day, although it's a pity, but Ji Xiaotang is no one else. He can get this day's leave, all thanks to Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang didn't agree immediately, just looked at Mrs. Ji.
"It's okay to let your uncle take you." Mrs. Ji said.
Ji Xiaotang looked at Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji again.
"Then let the third brother take Xiaotang out of the city for a walk." Second Master Ji did not hesitate. With Ji Xiaotang watching, he is not afraid that Master Ji San will mess around.
When Mrs. Ji saw that Mrs. Ji and Mr. Ji said this, she did not refute it.
The next morning, Mrs. Ji Er arranged the trip between Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang early, and came to clean up for Ji Xiaotang in person.
"Your uncle's temper, you pay more attention to him, and persuade him in everything. You're not in good health, don't be playful, go early and come back early. In a few days, my mother will be free, and I will take you to take a good walk. Mrs. Ji instructed Ji Xiaotang again.
"Mother, I see."
There was a little girl outside to report, saying that Master Ji San had already packed up, and urged Ji Xiaotang to leave quickly.
Mrs. Ji took Ji Xiaotang to Mrs. Ji's house to salute.
Master Ji San was talking with Mrs. Ji.
Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Xiaotang and nodded with satisfaction.
Ji Xiaotang wore a small flower crown with red gold and beads today, a red gold Yingluo collar on his chest, a goose yellow skirt full of gold, an orange palace silk tied around his waist, and a white jade butterfly on the skirt.
This outfit is luxurious and pretty, and it makes Ji Xiaotang's skin look like fat and his eyebrows are picturesque.
Mrs. Ji saw Ji Xiaotang from head to toe, and saw that Ji Xiaotang was wearing a pair of apricot yellow embroidered shoes with a hundred butterflies and flowers, and each upper was inlaid with a Hepu bead, each of which was the size of a finger.
When Ji Xiaotang saw Mrs. Ji looking at her shoes, he smiled and complained.
"I didn't want to wear these shoes when I went out today." But Mrs. Ji Er said that these shoes are the most suitable for what she is wearing today, and she must be allowed to wear them.
"What's the tightness when you wear it?" Mrs. Ji didn't think so, "Girls and daughters-in-law look at it, you don't have much to do." ”
I'm afraid that there are some roads to go, and it is inconvenient to wear these shoes. But when Mrs. Ji said this, Ji Xiaotang couldn't either.
"Lest she be playful." Mrs. Ji Er said her original intention.
"My Xiaotang is dressed up slightly, just like the little fairy in the painting." Master Ji San also smiled. Today, he wore a moon-white shirt, a royal blue flower and arrow sleeve robe, silver and red flowered pants, and foundation soap boots under his feet.
"Uncle's dress looks like it's on a hunting map." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.
Master Ji San immediately went to see the faces of Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er, and secretly glanced at Ji Xiaotang, asking her not to say anything.
"Don't take a knife or an arrow, just go and go shopping with your niece and come back." Mrs. Ji instructed again.
Master Ji San hurriedly agreed.
Finally said goodbye to Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji, Ji Xiaotang took the carriage, and Mr. Ji San rode a horse, and led a group of small family members to follow back and forth. There is another pony carriage, which is a girl and daughter-in-law who serve Ji Xiaotang.
There are quite a few scenic spots outside Qingyuan County, especially out of the south gate, but ten miles away, there is a good place to go out in spring. The Ji family and a group of carriages and horses walked out of the South City Gate, all the way along the official road, and when they came to a fork in the road, Master Ji San stopped the carriages and horses. He drove his horse to Ji Xiaotang's car and discussed with Ji Xiaotang.
Continue along the official road, which is the most crowded place. And if you take a fork in the road, there are mountains and rivers in front, but there are not many tourists at this time.
"The view of Cheonggye Mountain is the best, but a few more miles. Besides, there are not many people there now, so it is much less crowded. Let's go out for a walk, not to see people. "Master Ji San said to Ji Xiaotang." We still have a place to rest in our house, which is more convenient. ”
What Master Ji San said was good. The scenery of Qingxi Mountain is quiet, and it is also the place where the ancestral tomb of the Ji family is located. The Ji family also has a small manor there where they can take a break.
Even better, there was hunting in the mountains.
Ji Xiaotang had already guessed that Master Ji San must have secretly brought a bow and arrows and wanted to go hunting in Qingxi Mountain.
I haven't touched the bow and arrow these days, and Master Ji San must have itchy hands.
"It's all up to my uncle." Ji Xiaotang happily agreed. Yiqiē was developing as she had expected.
"Okay." Master Ji San was very happy, and immediately beat his horse and led a group of carriages and horses down the fork in the road.
There were people who followed the service to persuade him, but seeing that Ji Xiaotang agreed, no one dared to dissuade him.
Ji Xiaotang sat in the car and clasped his hands tightly.
In the depths of Qingxi Mountain, there are many fierce beasts. She still remembers that in her previous life, these days, wild boars came down in the mountains to spoil a lot of winter wheat and hurt people. Nearby hunters set traps in the mountains.
Someone came here and accidentally stepped into the trap and died instantly. The bitter lord sued the hunter who set the trap to the yamen, and this incident was very sensational at the time, and Ji Xiaotang heard about it in the boudoir.
Xie Huaijin is even more like a story, and tells her all the details.
Ji Xiaotang still remembers the approximate location of that trap.
Leave aside the people who follow the service and lead Master Ji San into a trap!
Master Ji San was stubborn and unrepentant, Ji Xiaotang couldn't watch him corrupt the Ji family to the point of being out of control.
It is not difficult to enter the mountains and get rid of the people who follow them. Because Master Ji San also dislikes these people in the way. The little servants newly arranged by Master Ji Er to his side were all dull and boring, and they only knew how to persuade him not to do this, not to do that. With these men in his presence, he couldn't use his bow and arrows with ease.
However, he wanted to take Ji Xiaotang to see some new things.
"Xiaotang, you just wait for Uncle here, or follow Uncle and go to the mountains." Master Ji San carried Ji Xiaotang on his back and turned his head to ask. The two of them had already left everyone who followed them on the small village and sneaked into the mountains. "Wait for Uncle to beat two golden chickens and a few rabbits for you, maybe you can hit the deer, hehe."
Master Ji San didn't know that a wild boar had come down from the mountains.
Ji Xiaotang was on the back of Master Ji San, carefully looked around all the way, and finally saw a white peach not far ahead.
This is the first white peach she has seen since entering the mountain, and if you look at the terrain on the left and right, it should be this place.
"Uncle, I'm a little tired and want to take a break." Ji Xiaotang said.
"Okay." Master Ji San lowered his body and put Ji Xiaotang on the ground.
"Uncle, I just saw a cluster of Malan on the road, and it actually bloomed." Ji Xiaotang stood still and said again.
"Oh, Ma Lan, okay, Uncle will go pick it for you." When Master Ji San heard this, he immediately walked back.
Seeing that Master Ji San had walked away, Ji Xiaotang carefully groped towards the white peach, and soon she found traces of the turf passing. Ji Xiaotang squatted down and looked through it carefully.
This is it.
Ji Xiaotang bypassed the trap, took a few more steps, and sat down on the spot.
Soon, I heard the footsteps of Master Ji San's return.
Master Ji San was empty-handed.
At this time, Malan had not yet bloomed.
"Xiaotang...... Before Master Ji San arrived, he was a little surprised when he saw Ji Xiaotang sitting on the ground in an awkward posture.
"Uncle, I broke my foot." Ji Xiaotang sued Master Ji San.
"How did you get your feet, strict zhòng not strict zhòng." Master Ji San was in a hurry, and strode over while speeding up.
Ten Steps...... Five-step, four-step......
No, uncle, don't come here.
Ji Xiaotang shouted in his heart, but in fact he didn't make a sound.
When the time comes, there is no time to hesitate.
Three steps, two steps......
Ji Xiaotang closed his eyes, and he heard a plop in his ears.
Master Ji San screamed, and then he was silent.
Ji Xiaotang slowly opened his eyes.
