I don't know when it began, probably a few months, under the locust tree opposite Yao'er's mansion, there was a fixed vendor, this vendor only sold retort cakes, freshly made retort cakes.

The cake he made is fresh in color, soft and sticky, sweet, fragrant, and never tired of eating for a long time. Not only the children in this alley like to eat, but also the adults often buy a piece to taste.

Because he went out of the stall early in the morning, some lazy women were too lazy to cook in the morning, so they would go to his stall to buy a piece of cake and go back. After adding hot water and boiling it, it was boiled into a gruel like eight-treasure porridge, which was used as a family's breakfast, so his business was still booming.

Early this morning, the hawker appeared under the locust tree on time, set up the big pottery retort, first put red dates, then raisins, then glutinous rice, and then put red dates and ......, layer by layer, in an orderly manner. There was already a charcoal fire under the pottery, and the heat had not yet steamed.

It takes at least two or three hours to steam the cake, and the cake that is being made in this jar is used to sell in the afternoon, and there is a piece of cake that is being dried on the board next to it, which was made at home last night and sold in the morning.

The gate directly opposite was opened, and the vendor did not raise his head, but buried himself in his business.

Shen Ren was drunk in a soapy blue robe, with a narrow blade hanging from his waist, the most ordinary steel knife, like a tall green pine, and a pair of gripping tigers under his feet knocked on the ground forcefully and walked in front of him.

The peddler put on the most common smile of a businessman, blinked a pair of small slitted eyes with, and said, "The guest officer got up early, do you want to buy the cake?" ”

Shen Ren's voice was not high, but it was like the low roar of a lion. The voice that was not too high had a faint feeling of roar: "I want Ouyang Yuyan's residence!" ”

The peddler blinked, he didn't know what was going on. He's certainly not a real businessman, and he's here. The mission of acceptance is only to take care of the nearest people, and to convey what is going on in a timely manner.

But he really didn't know anything about last night, and occasionally he didn't sleep until the night, but he really didn't expect last night's assassination. I didn't expect Shen Rendrunk to reveal his identity in such a big way, although it was still early, and there were no other guests on the street.

Shen Ren was drunk and didn't allow him to continue blinking, and his hand landed on the board with a "bang". The shock made the big cake jump: "I want news of Ouyang Yuyan!" ”

The peddler was startled, hurriedly pushed the cart, and said in a loud voice, "Okay, good." I'm ......."

Shen Rendrunk lifted his foot, and the car flew up, and a cart of steamed cakes, as well as a freshly loaded dumpling of glutinous rice and jujubes, all flew into the deep drainage ditch on the side of the road. Shen Ren's drunken almost roaring voice sounded in his ears: "Immediately! Right away! ”

The peddler didn't say a word. Spread his legs and fled out of the alley, he didn't suspect at all, and if he slowed down for a moment, he would be smashed by Shen Ren's drunken iron fist and punched like the steamed glutinous rice......

……

It was the first time for Ouyang Yuyan to walk into a place like the dungeon, which he thought was very dirty, and when she walked in, she covered her nose with a snow-white handkerchief.

Fortunately, the dungeon of Ouyang's house is not very useful at all, it is usually used as a cellar, and there is no dirty smell in it. It's just that the air outside is not as fresh as the outside, so Ouyang Yuyan put down the handkerchief.

Where Xiao Zhuo lay was a canopy of weeds. When she was brought in, she was brought by a servant from the porch, and the dry grass was clean and soft. After a night's work, I haven't been soaked by the dampness in the dungeon, and it's not very uncomfortable to lie on it now.

Everyone in his subordinates knew that Ouyang Yuyan loved Jie, the room had been cleaned, and the blood and water stains were also covered with dry soil, Shen Rendrunk stood a few steps away from Xiao Zhuo, stood up, and saw Xiao Zhuo lying sideways in the firewood and grass, and his cheeks had a pale and haggard feeling, just because he had been wiped in a coma, so as not to see the sweat stains on his face.

Ouyang Yuyan frowned and said, "She hasn't woken up yet?" ”

One of his subordinates immediately walked over, and the female killer who was in charge of taking over did not follow, she was not Ouyang Yuyan's henchman. The next thing is not for her to hear.

Xiao Zhuo had a difficult birth last night, and it was also thanks to the female killer who not only knew how to deliver the baby, but also had the courage to deal with it boldly, and with great difficulty, she finally kept her mother and son safe, but Xiao Zhuo also exhausted all her strength, and she was groggy and didn't wake up until now.

The killer gently pushed Xiao Zhuo's shoulder, Xiao Zhuo opened his eyes weakly, first confused, and gradually regained consciousness.

Ouyang Yuyan stood in front of her, standing tall like a white lotus on a snow-capped mountain, but she turned a blind eye, she quickly thought of the child she was having before she fainted, and it was difficult to give birth due to difficult childbirth.

"My child! What about my child? ”

As soon as Xiao Zhuo realized that there was no child with her by her side, she immediately looked like a female leopard who had gone crazy. Obviously, there was no trace of strength in her body, and at this time, the strength was so great that the killer could barely hold her.

Ouyang Yuyan said gently: "Your child is fine, he is safe!" You ......"

"Where are my children, my children. Give me back the baby ......."

Xiao Zhuo regained some consciousness, staring at Ouyang Yuyan with red eyes, and was about to pounce, but another killer also hurriedly stepped forward to help, and together with his companions, he held her firmly.

Ouyang Yuyan said: "I said that your child is safe and sound, you ......"

"Kid! Give me back the baby! ”

Xiao Zhuo didn't listen to what he was saying at all, and when she woke up and couldn't see her own flesh and bones, the kind of panic and fear almost scared her to death.

Ouyang Yuyan frowned, she couldn't understand it, she had already told her that the child was safe, did she need to be so panicked and afraid? But looking at her current demeanor, I'm afraid I won't be able to say anything if I don't return the child to her.

Ouyang Yuyan waved his hand and instructed his subordinates: "Go, bring the child!" ”

When Xiao Zhuo heard this, he immediately quieted down, staring at the back of the killer who left in a hurry with great difficulty, and never looked to the side again. If it weren't for the fact that she was too weak to walk now, I'm afraid she would have chased after the man.

Ouyang Yuyan took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and coughed, and said slowly: "The child needs to be bathed and cleaned." So take it out for the time being, don't worry, this son still disdains to do anything to a child. ”

Xiao Zhuo didn't seem to hear it at all. Glowing eyes just staring at the exit of the dungeon.

Ouyang Yuyan snorted boredly.

The killer hurried back with the child, probably he was used to holding a knife and a gun in his life, this was the first time he held a child, the little man looked very fragile, but he was terrified, he held the child clumsily and carefully, and grinned when he saw Xiaozhuo. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, the child is asleep......"

As soon as the words ended, the child opened his mouth. "Wow" cried, the killer was startled, and hurriedly handed the child into Xiaoman's hands, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Baby. My baby! ”

Xiao Zhuo picked up his child. The little one's little face was a little ruddy because he had just been born, and he had been washed clean, wrapped in a soft white silk cloth, and a pair of small hands were scattered, and he cried with his eyes closed.

Xiao Zhuo cried with joy, put the child to his chest with tears, and hugged him tightly. "Child! My baby! The little one listened to the familiar rhythm of the heartbeat coming from his mother's chest, and seemed to feel safe. Gradually, he stopped crying, only sobbing occasionally.

Xiao Zhuo hugged the child, as if he had found his soul, and let out a long sigh of relief, and his demeanor became calm and quiet.

Seeing this, Ouyang Yuyan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile bloomed on his face again, and he said slowly: "Your child, this son has been returned to you, now, can we have a good talk?" ”

Xiao Zhuo brought the child who had been quiet into his arms a little closer, and asked vigilantly, "What do you want to talk about?" ”

As soon as he was close to his chest, the sound of his mother's heartbeat became clearer, just like he had heard when he was still in his mother's womb, and although his mother's heartbeat was a little rapid now, the child could tell that this was the sound that he had been hearing since he had heard, and the child was quieter.

He closed his eyes, his little hands gently caressing his mother's chin, and his small pink lips squirmed, trying to squirm into a small bubble. Originally, at this time, his father and mother, and many relatives and friends of his parents should have surrounded him, laughing at his cute childish action.

But now there was only his mother by his side, and even his mother did not notice his lovely movements, she was nervously holding her baby, looking at the man in front of her with alarm, no, the woman dressed as a man, like looking at a murderous robber.

Ouyang Yuyan smiled helplessly, in Xiao Zhuo's eyes, she was like a robber who killed people and oversold goods, but she was not, she was Ouyang Yuyan, a family that had been inherited for thousands of years, and she was a nobler and more noble existence than the Qi royal family, she had always looked down on the world from a high angle, and she never thought that she would be looked down upon so badly.

She said in a quiet and elegant tone as much as possible: "It was not my idea to kidnap you, but since you have fallen into my hands, there is no need for me to send you back, your husband and your friends are trying their best to oppose this son, and this son does not want him or anyone else to think that I am afraid of him!" ”

Ouyang Yuyan paused, and without waiting for Xiao Zhuo to sneer at him, he quickly changed the topic: "You are here, especially if you are pregnant in October and give birth soon, your disappearance must make your husband very worried." So, you can write a letter telling him that you are safe and then ...... I'll let it go! ”

Xiao Zhuo stared at her, stared at her for a long time, the corners of his mouth pursed slightly, and a proud smile was raised: "I heard Lang Jun mention you, your background, your status, your power, everything, is beyond our reach, but...... You're doing all this for Yao'er, aren't you afraid of Yao'er now, aren't you? That's why ......"

The corners of Xiao Zhuo's mouth hooked, but the corners of Ouyang Yuyan's mouth twitched, as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke.

Ouyang Yuyan snorted, and lowered the corners of her mouth a little more disdainfully: "Yao'er? She deserves it too! I just want to talk to her about something, but I can't invite her directly, so I start with you...... I don't want to be disturbed, but having a handwritten letter from you can make her settle down and talk to me calmly, nothing else! ”

Ouyang Yuyan refused to admit that she was very jealous of Yao'er now, even though she knew that that idiot had done a big mistake by himself and put her into absolute passivity, and today she would be under pressure from many powerful forces from all sides, but she didn't admit that this was Yao'er's ability.

This world is a mortal world, there is no superhuman existence, and no one can call the wind and rain and control the world by himself. Whether it is the queen Tian Qiniang or the thousand-year-old families of the Demon Sect and the Confucians, they can do whatever they want because they can control more people and more power for him with common interests.

Ouyang Yuyan is the same, if she strips away the financial, material, and human resources under her control, she will be like a phoenix that has been plucked out, no better than a chicken, but in front of this ordinary woman, she refuses to admit that the forces that are now influenced by Yao'er are the abilities that belong to Yao'er.

Xiao Zhuo's face was still very haggard, and her lips were faintly bloody, but her smile was getting sweeter and sweeter. In Ouyang Yuyan's view, this is the most genuine and profound mockery.

Slander by you, I am me, who would insist on an ant admitting his tallness?

But now Ouyang Yuyan was not only explaining to her, but there was a faint embarrassment in his seemingly impeccable demeanor.

Xiao Zhuo Wan'er shook his head and said, "You are very arrogant, so you don't want to admit that you used to be a person who was not taken seriously by you, and now you can only raise your head and talk to Yao'er!" So, you are doing very despicable things, but you are trying to maintain your elegant demeanor, do you know, all these things make you speak and act very awkwardly and ridiculously? ”

"Nonsense!"

Ouyang Yuyan could no longer maintain her calm and pretending disdainful expression, she began to retort, and her tone was fierce: "Is the rise and fall of the situation in southern Xinjiang something she can control?" Everything nowadays, half depends on providence, half depends on the queen, she is just pushed to such a key position in a muddle, coincidentally becoming an important figure. Even so, I can still control her life and death......"

Xiao Zhuo interrupted her boastful talk and said coldly: "The so-called mastery is to pick up a knife like a robber?" Even if you still have a little way to get Yao'er, you won't use such a method!

She raised her head and said proudly and firmly: "My husband will definitely come to save me, and Yao'er will also come to save me!" It's like rescuing me from Chen Shimei's hands! I'm convinced! I'm not a very smart woman, but I know what you're afraid of, what you're worried about, and I'm just doing the right thing, so, I can't write anything, I'm just waiting here! (To be continued......)
