Section 294 Walking the water

"Hongying, hurry up and accompany me to see how Mrs. and Yun Niang are?" Yun Luo grabbed Hongying's hand, and a light flashed in his eyes.

It seems to be a silent hint.

Hongying nodded, and accompanied Yun Luo to the dark red firelight.

The closer I got to Mrs. Xu's residence, the more I felt the heat. The oncoming hot wind hit the face and hurt hotly.

Along the way, I saw the maid and the mother-in-law hurrying back and forth with a copper basin.

"Quick, quick, go and serve the water...... Not far away, Yao's mother pulled a stupid little maid with a sleeve and urged loudly, her tone was very stern, and she was still wearing an elegant blue middle coat, and she jumped up from the bed in a hurry at first glance, and she didn't care about her appearance at all.

The little maid nodded in fright, didn't dare to stop any longer, and ran to fetch water.

Yun Luo greeted her, and Yao's mother obviously saw her, wiped the sweat beads on her face, and asked her with concern: "Miss Yun, are you okay over there?" "The speed of speech is rapid, not as steady as before.

"I'm fine, how are my wife and sister?" Yun Luo looked worriedly at the bright red fire behind Yao's mother.

"Fortunately, the maid who kept vigil found it in time, and the wives and the others all withdrew safely, and they were now placed in the wings." Yao's mother has traces of "Buddha blessed" on her face.

Yun Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to ask her some side questions, but the maid who came and went pulled Yao's mother to ask about the firefighting, Yao's mother was so busy that she didn't even have time to listen to her, so she swallowed the words that came to her mouth, and then said to Yao's mother and rushed to see Mrs. Xu and Yun Niang with Hongying.

When he arrived at the wing, Yun Luo pushed the door and entered. found that there was only Mrs. Xu, Yun Niang and a serving maid in the house.

"Madam, sister, are you alright?" Yun Luo walked over while concerned.

Mrs. Xu, who was wearing a middle coat and had a snow-white face, looked at her blankly.

"You're here? Are you okay over there? Mrs. Xu asked, her face still full of horror.

Thinking about the process of escaping from the fire, Mrs. Xu was still frightened.

"Sister, it's okay if you're okay, I'm scared to death." Yun Niang threw herself into Yun Luo's arms with a cry.

Yun Luo reached out to hold her, gently touched her back with his right hand, and said infinitely gently, "Okay, okay, it's okay." Don't be afraid. ”

Softly comforted. Yun Niang poked her head out of her arms.

"Alright. Let your sister sit down. Mrs. Xu said angrily.

Yun Niang realized this, and then quickly straightened up and asked Yun Luo to sit down.

"It's good, why did you go out of the water?" Yun Luo saw that the tea in the quilt in front of Mrs. Xu was shallow, so he consciously picked up the teapot to refill the water for her.

"I don't know why. Fortunately, the night watchman woke up. Otherwise......" Mrs. Xu's eyes tightened. A palpitating expression. "The adults have only been gone for a while, and such a big thing happened."

Xu Zhi County did not stay overnight?

Then his father must have gone with him.

Although he knew that there was no fire in the outer courtyard, he was sure that his father was not resting in the Xu Mansion at all. The heart is more settled.

"Fortunately, it was discovered early, and the people in the house reacted quickly, and when I just rushed over, I saw that Yao's mother commanded everyone to extinguish most of them." Yun Luo comforted her.

"That should be extinguished soon, right?" Yun Niang asked with wide eyes.

"It should be." Yun Luo nodded, but his eyes searched around the room, and after looking around, he said in surprise, "Ah, sister, what about your cousin?" ”

What about Su Niangren?

With such a big movement, why can't you see her?

Yun Luo's words seemed to remind everyone, Mrs. Xu's face changed greatly, and she said to the maid waiting in the house: "Hurry up and take a look." ”

Su Niang's place is not far from Mrs. Xu's residence, and there is no reason why she should not know such a big movement in the water.

But Su Niang, who usually has her shadow everywhere, suddenly didn't appear today, which is really weird.

Yun Niang bit her lip and said, "Don't look at the situation wrong, she ran away alone." "There's something wrong with the tone.

No one answered in the room, but Mrs. Xu's face became even more gloomy.

The little maid's legs and feet were very fast, and she came back in the blink of an eye: "Madam, the slave maid went to see, the place where the fifth lady lived did not go to the water, but quietly, there was no one." The slave and maid shouted a few times, worried that something would happen, so they took it upon themselves to enter the inner room, and the slave and maid looked at it, and there was a pillow stuffed in the bed bed, but she did not see the figure of the fifth lady. ”

Worried that something would happen, he took it upon himself to go into the inner room to investigate?

The little maid replied with some meaning.

There were ripples on the cheeks of Yun Luo.

"There's no one in the bed, where did that person go?" Mrs. Xu's face was frosty, her voice was tense, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was trying her best to suppress her anger.

The little maid shook her head and replied.

When Yun Niang saw this, she said something: "Where can I run?" It's not a good thing anyway......"

"Madam, I think it's better for you to send someone to see if some important things are missing, go to the water today, everyone fights the fire, don't lose anything in the chaos, go back and look for it again, it will be difficult." Yun Luo reminded at the right time.

Mrs. Xu looked at the picturesque Yunluo, and her eyes flashed with gratitude.

If it weren't for Yun Luo's alertness to find out that Su Niang was not there, she wouldn't have found out so quickly!

At that moment, she no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the little maid: "Go, tell Mother Yao what I said, and say that you should take a good look at the important objects, but don't throw them away." ”

Seeing the anxiety and prudence in the eyes of the little maid, she naturally did not dare to delay, and ran to the firelight after bending her knees and retreating.

Hopefully, it's still too late.

When the door opened, Yunluo looked at the night sky full of red clouds and couldn't help but pray secretly.

It's a pity that God obviously didn't hear Yun Luo's prayer.

Yao's mother panted and brought bad news-

Mrs. Xu's seal was lost.

Seal......

Su Niang once picked up the seal that Yun Niang stole from.

Yun Luo stared at Mrs. Xu, who was trembling slightly with anger, feeling the irrepressible anger in the air.

"Lost? How could it be lost? Quickly sealed all the exits of the house, not even a fly was allowed to fly out, I don't believe that the thief could still fly out with wings. In addition, the place where the seal is stored is known to a few people in the house, and it is difficult for outsiders to predict whether it will be a prophet? Just these few people, arrest them and interrogate them well. I don't believe that their bones are as hard as the instruments of torture that run water, and that they can always pry open their mouths with a set of kung fu, and when things and people are found, I see what face the thief who stole comes to me. Also, Su Niang is gone, you should quickly send someone to find it. The young girl's house, if she has a business trip next to my aunt, I can't explain it between my mother-in-law and my concubine. Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth and said fiercely.

"Yes, yes. The old body will do it. Yao's mother was so frightened by Mrs. Xu's words that her lips and teeth turned white.

She herself was one of the few people who knew where the seals were kept, and although her wife told her to interrogate them, if those people were all right, then she ...... She didn't dare to think about it.

With Mrs. Xu waving her hand impatiently, she wanted to walk away, but every step she took seemed to be stepping on the pile of cotton wool, soft and soft, without a point of focus.

After a few steps, her back was already covered with sweat.

Pushing open the door, the wind outside the door blew, and she came to her senses.

I can't help but be ashamed, I don't know what my heart is weak just now. Anyway, I didn't do anything to sell my wife, so I can interrogate others with confidence, so why should I be afraid that it will be involved in myself.

Thinking about this, Yao's mother took three steps and two steps, took out her usual energy, and went to run errands in a hurry.

Seeing that Yao's mother was gone, Yun Luo looked at the sky outside and couldn't help but persuade Mrs. Xu: "Madam, looking at the situation outside, the fire will soon be controlled, you might as well rest here for a while." Wait until dawn to make a decision? The implication of Yun Luo's words is that Mother Yao's search for the person who stole the seal will not be finished in a while, and Mrs. Xu has no need to waste it.

Yun Niang happened to be so sleepy that she rubbed her sour eyes, and when she heard Yun Luo's advice, she couldn't help but nod her head again and again: "Yes, mother, my daughter will serve you and rest for a while." There are Yao's mothers outside! Your body is important, rest first and wait for dawn. My sister and I are guarding here, and if there is any movement, let them give us first. Yun Niang stared at Mrs. Xu's pale face, her eyes full of distress.

"Two silly boys, you have a heart. However, in such a situation in the house, where can I sleep......" Mrs. Xu held on to her slightly aching forehead, and said weakly.

"Mother, you are the backbone of the family, your father is busy with official business, and he has no energy to take care of the affairs of the family. Even if you can't sleep, it's better to keep your eyes closed than to stay here. Yun Niang persuaded earnestly.

Mrs. Xu's face was gratified.

"Yes, ma'am, this outside matter will not be over for a while, so you can listen to us and lie down and recuperate. If there is something to do, we will ask you to decide as soon as possible. My sister's filial piety, please ask my wife to fulfill it. Yun Luo looked at Mrs. Xu with blinking eyes, extremely reverent.

Mrs. Xu, who was already loose, was suddenly moved by Yun Luo's words, and her heart warmed.

Seeing this, Yun Niang took the opportunity to fall into her mother's arms, and pulled Mrs. Xu's arm to coquettishly: "Mother, you can promise us......"

Full of admiration.

Mrs. Xu couldn't stand such a battle, put aside the irritability in her heart for the time being, and agreed half helplessly and half enjoyingly.

Yun Niang and Yun Luo couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw her agree, and they held Mrs. Xu's arm left and right, and helped her to the bed in the wing, one spread the quilt, the other slapped the pillow, the movements were tacit and smooth, and Mrs. Xu, who was standing next to her, looked at the two of them with a smile, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.
