In order to prevent one shoe from running out of stock, Ru Xuan concocted the same method and threw down two socks back and forth as a signal guide along the way.

It seemed that at the end of the road, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the middle-aged woman untied Ru Xuan's legs, just held her arm and got off the car carefully.

Without shoes and socks, Ru Xuan stepped on a stone when she got out of the car, and she was so hurt that she couldn't help but let out an "oops" and tilted her body to the side.

"What's wrong?" The middle-aged woman asked with concern, and took advantage of the situation to help Ru Xuan.

"Nothing." Ru Xuan replied, stretching out her foot and kicking the hem of her skirt in a hurry, trying to hide the fact that she was barefoot, but she never wanted to use too much force to expose Bai Huahua's instep completely.

The middle-aged woman saw that Ru Xuan was not wearing shoes, and asked in surprise, "...... your shoes?"

"It should be that the time of being tied up was accidentally dropped, so it's okay." Ru Xuan pretended to explain lightly, took two steps with her bare feet deliberately, and urged the middle-aged woman again and again: "Let's go." ”

The middle-aged woman stopped talking, but helped Ru Xuan, whose hands were tied, into an inconspicuous courtyard.

The reason why this courtyard is inconspicuous is that this area is all dilapidated and old yards, and several households have been unoccupied for many years, and even a corner of the house has been damaged by wind and rain, revealing the wooden rafters of the roof.

Entering the room, the middle-aged woman lit an oil lamp, and Fu Ruxuan sat on a long wooden bench that was also a little shabby. (

Uncle Zhang, who was driving the car, unloaded the horses, moved them to the courtyard to feed the forage, and went to the west wing to rest for a while.

"Drink water?" The middle-aged woman picked up the large porcelain bowl and poured a bowl of tea that had already cooled.

"No need." Ru Xuan licked her chapped lips. After a moment's hesitation, he shook his head.

"The water is clean." The middle-aged woman knew that Ru Xuan was afraid of something unclean in the water, and smiled and defended. By the way, I drank the tea in the bowl cleanly.

"What is this place?" Ru Xuan was blindfolded and couldn't see her surroundings, so she could only ask. She wondered how long she was before she was sold into slavery.

"This is a courtyard in the north of the city, you should rest for a while, and wait for dawn. We're out of town. The middle-aged woman said, and also sat down and sat opposite Ru Xuan.

"Oh." Ru Xuan replied mechanically. Silently "staring" at the pitch black in front of him.

The middle-aged woman stopped talking, her elbows propped up her head, and her eyes narrowed.

There are still more than two hours before dawn, so if you don't take a break. It's unbearable.

It's just that Ru Xuan didn't feel sleepy at all at this time. What I was thinking about was when Shiqi would find this place and come to rescue her.

I don't know how long it was, Ru Xuan, who was at the tip of her ears, seemed to hear a slight footstep outside, the sound was chaotic and mixed, obviously not alone.

"Bang!"

It seemed to be the sound of the courtyard door being slammed, but this time, the door was not knocked open.

Did Shiqi bring someone here?

Ru Xuan subconsciously clenched her hands, and her whole heart was raised.

"Uncle Zhang. Go see what's going on! The middle-aged woman, who was awakened, saw through the crack in the window that there was a fire outside the courtyard, and hurriedly called Uncle Zhang to take a look.

"Bang!" Then there was another knock on the door.

The door remained unmoved. It's just that the door shaft is already a little loose.

"Let's go!" Ru Xuan shouted.

"What?" The middle-aged woman stared at Ru Xuan in confusion.

"Hurry up, or it's too late!" Ru Xuan said anxiously: "The people outside, nine times out of ten, are servants, if you don't leave, it's really too late!" ”

As if to verify what Ru Xuan said, after hitting the door twice outside, he began to shout: "Open the door!" Open the door! ”

Sure enough, she was surrounded, and the middle-aged woman clenched her fingers nervously and paced back and forth in place restlessly, not knowing what to do.

"If you can't leave, you can find a place to hide, and if they ask, I'll say you've left early." Ru Xuan emphasized again: "You have to move faster, otherwise, it's really too late!" ”

"You're a good girl, and I owe you after all." The middle-aged woman looked at Ru Xuan's tense little face, her eyes were suddenly full of tears, she turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around, took out a square jade plate from her arms, and stuffed it into Ru Xuan's hand.

"What is this?" Ru Xuan only felt a chill in her hands, as if she had been stuffed with something.

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, take this jade plate and go to Yanliuzhuang in the west of the city to find me, my surname is Yin, and I am known as Seventeen Niang." With that, Seventeen Niang hurriedly left through the back door and disappeared into the night.

The yacha outside the courtyard was still destroying the sturdy gate that was about to die, but Shiqi, who couldn't wait, jumped into the courtyard, taking advantage of the moonlight to find where Ru Xuan was.

Shiqi saw that there seemed to be no one in the courtyard, and saw that the oil lamp was lit in the main house, and he didn't dare to trespass without permission, for fear that the kidnapper would hurt Ru Xuan's life, so he could only shout loudly: "Ru Xuan! ”

Ru Xuan, who was anxiously waiting for rescue, was stunned when she heard Shiqi's familiar voice, and only came back to her senses after a while and responded loudly: "Shiqi, I'm here!" ”

Knowing that his beloved Ru Xuan was in the main house, Shi Qi didn't care if there would be danger, kicked the door of the main house open, and saw Ru Xuan sitting at the table, tied sturdy.

"Ru Xuan......" Seeing that Ru Xuan was blindfolded, and there was a little dust on her little face, as if she had suffered a lot, Shiqi's heart was suddenly full of self-blame, and he hurriedly reached out to untie the rope on Ru Xuan's body.

Untying the strip of cloth, Ru Xuan regained her vision.

I subconsciously opened my eyes, but because I couldn't adapt to the light because I had been in the dark for too long, I reflexively closed them again.

After a few attempts, Ru Xuan saw the familiar and soft face in front of her.

"Shiqi!" In front of someone she could rely on, Ru Xuan could no longer hold back the panic and grievances in her heart, and fell on her shoulders and cried bitterly.

Although Ru Xuan was calm and calm during the whole process just now, she seemed to be fearless, but she was a woman after all, and the fear of uncertainties in her heart could not be expressed in words.

Especially the despair and unwillingness when she learned that she was going to be sold, it can be described as despairing.

It's just that she knows that in that situation, if she doesn't save herself, no one will be able to save her, so she can only choose to face it bravely.

However, at this moment, all the qiē has ended, and the qiē has passed, and the long-suppressed emotions in Ru Xuan's heart burst out at this moment.

"With me, don't be afraid, it's all over." Shi Qi gently patted Ru Xuan's back, trying to soothe Ru Xuan's nervous feelings.

Ru Xuan didn't respond, just hugged Shiqi's neck, and the whole person fell on his shoulder, sobbing in a low voice.

Shi Qi knew that Ru Xuan had experienced this sudden kidnapping, so he was naturally frightened, so he just stroked Ru Xuan's shoulder, which was constantly trembling because of sobbing, and whispered to comfort her.

After a long time, Ru Xuan's sobbing gradually subsided, and finally, it stopped completely.

The sound of even breathing sounded in Shi Qi's ears, and Shi Qi noticed that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to move his body, but just called softly: "Ru Xuan? ”

At this time, Ru Xuan had fallen asleep deeply, leaning weakly on Shiqi's shoulder, and her arm slipped from her neck and hung aside.

Asleep?

Shiqi was first surprised, and then rejoiced.

If you can sleep peacefully, it means that there is no major problem.

Only then did Shi Qi feel at ease, took Ru Xuan's body into his arms, and let her rest on her shoulder, so that she could sleep more comfortably. It's just that this process is very gentle, for fear of disturbing Ru Xuan's sleep.

Obviously, Ru Xuan was extremely tired, and did not wake up because of Shiqi's movements, but rubbed his shoulder, turned his face sideways, found a suitable position, and slept peacefully.

Looking at Ru Xuan's still quiet face, Shi Qi calmed down and whispered: "Someone!" ”

A man dressed in navy blue guard clothes quickly pushed the door in, knelt down on one knee after seeing Shiqi, and replied respectfully, "My subordinates are here." ”

"Have you ever found anyone?" Shi Qi asked with a displeased face.

Dozens of officials outside are all officials who take money, they should be good at eliminating evil and promoting good, and capturing prisoners, but they didn't expect that a single broken door could keep these people out for a long time, what a group of rice buckets!

Seeing that Shiqi's expression was very dissatisfied, the guard was suddenly shocked, and his head hung lower and lower: "The subordinates are incompetent, people, and they have not been found." ”

Sure enough, Shi Qi's face was a little uglier, but Ru Xuan, who was sleeping in his arms, could only reprimand in a low voice: "Waste!" ”

"Subordinate convicted!" The guard didn't dare to raise his head, the whole person fell to the ground shivering, beads of sweat the size of beans covered his forehead, falling along his cheeks, falling on the green bricks on the ground, and getting wet.

The matter has come to this point, and the people have fled, and it is useless to reprimand again, so we can only investigate it carefully in the future to see what the purpose of these people kidnapping Ru Xuan is.

Shi Qi was worried about Ru Xuan's situation at this moment, and he had no intention of investigating the fault of the guards, so he just hugged Ru Xuan and got up, and ordered the guards around him: "Go back to the cottage!" ”

"Yes." Seeing that Shiqi did not continue to investigate, the guards were relieved and hurriedly got up to lead the way.

As soon as he took two steps, something slipped off Ru Xuan's body and landed on the blue brick floor, making a "ding" sound.

Shi Qi stopped to take a look, and the guards on the side hurriedly reached out to pick it up and sent it to Shi Qi.

What fell was a jade plaque, Hetian's green and white jade, the texture was average, square, and there were not cumbersome patterns carved around, and it didn't seem to be too valuable. It's just that the center of the jade plaque is uprightly engraved with the word "Yan Gui", indicating that this jade plaque is not simple.

"Put it away first." Shi Qi said with a frown and strode out.

Yan Gui, Yan ......

Shi Qi remembered clearly, he had seen these two words, and they were also on a jade plate, but that jade plate was a fine mutton fat white jade, which was priceless.

It's just that why did this jade plaque, which is also engraved with the word "Yan Gui", appear on Ru Xuan's body, and is it related to this kidnapping?

Shiqi was full of doubts. (To be continued......) R1292
