Chapter Forty-Seven: Just Break It
Chapter 47: You Break It Away
Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu were led to Ji Xiaogu, and Yu Shu took the initiative to explain his words, and the words were like this:
Last night, she and Yu Xiaoxiu were having dinner on Changmenpu Street, and happened to bump into a suspicious person who took away the young master of the Liu family.
Later, when he woke up, he was placed on the altar, Yu Shu thought that the demon Dao wanted to kill Xue Wenzhe's life, so he interrupted him, so that he could not succeed, and it happened that a decent Taoist passed by here, subdued this group of thieves, and left. She saw that Xue Wenzhe and the others were still in a coma, unable to wake up, and it rained at night, so she and Yu Xiaoxiu went out to explore the road for help, got lost in the forest, and finally returned to the city.
Speaking of this, Yu Shucai swallowed his saliva and said hurriedly: "Third master, Xue Gongzi is still in the suburbs, you quickly notify the Liu family and send someone to pick him up." ”
Just changed a few words, and the sister and brother became Xue Wenzhe's saviors, instead of the two cowards who didn't save them when they saw death and escaped from the battle, Yu Shu didn't feel sorry, Yu Xiaoxiu blushed secretly for her cheekiness, lowered his head, and listened to her nonsense.
Ji Xiaogu's sharp eyes swept over the two of them, he was a shrewd businessman, thoughtful, how could he not detect the many doubts in Yu Shu's words.
Yu Xiaoxiu lowered her head, Yu Shu only made an anxious gesture on her face, she knew that Ji Xiaogu would be suspicious, but she was not worried, after all, it was the Liu family's business, the young master of the Liu family, in terms of interests, had nothing to do with their Ji family, but it conformed to her lie, which could make the Ji family get good from it, as long as Ji Xiaogu was not stupid, he would follow her words.
Sure enough, Ji Xiaogu just glanced at them a few times, and then beckoned to the little guy:
"Quickly go and inform the Liu Mansion, and say that there is the whereabouts of Xue Gongzi."
The little guy went, and Ji Xiaogu asked Yu Shudao: "The Taoist who saved you, did he leave his name?" ”
Yu Shu thought about it for a while, and said uncertainly: "It seems that it is said that it is from Longhu Mountain." ”
Ji Xiaogu's face changed, half of his body leaned forward, and he was so eager that he was three points eager: "Dragon Tiger Mountain? What kind of school can it be? ”
On Longhu Mountain, the cave is blessed, most of them are Taoist high gates, they don't care about the mundane, it is rare for someone to enter the world, this is a big deal, if you can find this person, introduce the Ji family, it is a guest for a few days, and you can also benefit a lot.
Yu Shu didn't plan to talk more about Jingchen, but seeing his eagerness, he made up his mind to be misleading, so he said confusedly:
"It was too chaotic at the time, and I didn't hear it clearly, so I heard that it was from Longhu Mountain."
I said in my heart: Hey, how much saliva did I waste along the way to hook up, why did I introduce it to you plainly.
Ji Xiaogu didn't give up, and asked again: "Can you see his appearance and dress clearly?" ”
"Wearing a blue robe, he seems to be a middle-aged man, and he has a beard, and the night is too dark to see anything else." Yu Shu said nonsense, she was deliberately misleading, Jingchen Daxia was too conspicuous, just afraid that if she said a white robe, the Ji family would be able to find people out of Yiyang City.
The Liu family wants to send someone to the suburbs to find it, if they catch that group of thieves, when the time comes, they will definitely ask something, she said this, the right should be confused.
Yu Shu has an abacus, Ji Xiaogu also has an abacus, sat up straight, and told Yu Shudao:
"About this Daoist, when the Liu family asks later, don't talk too much."
Ji Xiaogu thought that he would send someone out to find the Taoist who came down from Longhu Mountain in a while, and he must invite people to his home as guests, and he couldn't let other families take the lead.
"Yes."
Ji Xiaogu was in a good mood, and his attitude towards Yu Shu's sister and brother was gentle: "You two have been hungry all night, there is a snack on the table, eat it first, and when you find Young Master Xue, let the kitchen cook a good meal for you." ”
Yu Shu thanked Yu Xiaoxiu together, and was given a seat by Ji Xiaogu, and after waiting for a meal, the Liu family came impatiently.
The young master of the Xue family has found it back, and in the wild forest outside the city, he relies on Yu Shu to guide him.
Before that, they also met four children who escaped from the broken courtyard in the forest and rescued them one by one.
When Xue Wenzhe was found, he was lying half-dead on the edge of the stream, wearing ill-fitting clothes, and I don't know who he picked it from, the whole person seemed to have been salvaged from the muddy water.
Seeing Xue Wenzhe like this, they quickly took him home for treatment, leaving an old man to come forward and continue to follow the officers and soldiers to search, Ji Xiaogu personally went out and sat in the same car with Yu Shu, and asked her to show the way deep into the forest to find the group of "human traffickers".
After noon, he found the broken courtyard, Yu Shu had the courage to follow the catch and go in, and found not only a group of wild Taoist priests who were lying in the rain overnight in the backyard, but also three dead bodies of children, and the people who saw it were cold, and the old man of the Liu family, that is, Xue Wenzhe's second uncle, was white on the spot, and he was afraid for a while.
Ji Xiaogu is very good at being a man, and took the opportunity to comfort: "Brother Jingtai, you have nothing to do, right?" ”
Liu Jingtai sighed: "Xiaogu, thank you for your attention this time, otherwise how can I explain to my sister-in-law's family-alas." ”
On the way, the Liu family had already heard Ji Xiaogu tell what had happened, and there was no difference between what Yu Shu said.
"It's good that people are safe."
Liu Jingtai shook his head again and again, "You don't know, this time I was negligent, my aunt had already calculated that Wenzhe would be a disaster, just recently, I prepared a lot of blessings in advance, and the amulets were made three for him to take on his body, even when he went out to celebrate his birthday yesterday, I also deliberately followed, and asked him to wait outside for me to pick him up. ”
"'Blessings are hard to find, but disasters are hard to hide.'" Our descendants of Yi scholars have not been taught this sentence since childhood, and no one will blame you, so why should you bother yourself. ”
Ji Xiaogu persuaded a few words, Liu Jingtai's face finally improved, and said:
"By the way, I also want to thank the two juniors in your family, if it weren't for their cleverness, Wen Zhe might not have been able to get out of danger."
Ji Xiaogu smiled casually, wanting to call Yu Shu to come over and speak, but looked around, but there was no trace of Yu Shu, frowned secretly, and said to him:
"You said it politely, maybe they were blessed by Wenzhe, so they were safe."
Liu Jingtai smiled bitterly, he would never take his words seriously, and he recognized a favor from the Ji family in his heart.
Where is Yu Shu at this time?
She was taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, at the gate of the broken courtyard, secretly rummaging through the stolen goods that she had quickly picked up, found the "ancient sword" that was not good-looking, and slipped under the outer wall of the courtyard with her arms, hid it under a tree, covered it with a pile of grass, made a mark, and waited for it to be picked up tomorrow.
She heard the words of the two little Taoist priests guarding the door last night, knowing that the sword is not small, although she doesn't know whether it is true or false, but it also really attracted her wealth fan, if it is true, it is not for nothing to let the yamen pick it up, and I don't know who the most Lu will fall into the hands of her, it is better for her to hide it herself, and then have the ability to identify the true and false, so as not to bury this treasure.
"What are you doing?"
was shooting the soil, a catcher suddenly shouted to this side, Yu Shu quickly stood up, turned around and said shyly: "I, I want to solve it." ”
The catcher quickly turned around and left in embarrassment, Yu Shu stretched out his tongue, looked at the sword that could not be seen on the ground, trotted back to the car, poured two cups of tea in a big gulp, and the rapid heartbeat stabilized.
It's good that I wasn't caught, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to tell.
After tossing and turning back to Ji Zhai, Ji Xiaogu went to the East Courtyard to report to the old lady, and when he returned to the room, he was happy, so he asked Aunt Cui to accompany him to eat, and probably told Yu Shu that his sister and brother helped save the young master of the Liu family, and rewarded her after the meal, and promised to spend the night in her room.
Aunt Cui got the actual favor and was in a good mood, so she asked the sister and brother to come over to meet, cared a few words, praised them, and gave them two dimes of silver flowers for one person, but compared to Aunt Liu, who didn't sleep all night, gave them a fire to boil water, cook and do laundry, Aunt Cui's superficial work is chilling.
Yu Xiaoxiu was sensitive, and he smiled on his face, but Yu Shu was too lazy to act in front of this woman, and coped lukewarmly.
The two of them didn't stay long, and they were sent away by Aunt Cui on the pretext of letting them rest, in fact, she saw that it was not early, and was ready to clean up the house and wait for the third master to wait for the night to wait.
When the sister and brother came back in the morning, they still talked and laughed again, and they came out of the Xiaoxi Pavilion, and they were not in high spirits.
For Aunt Cui, Yu Shu is really hard to like, being a mother is not like a mother, and there is no means, being a concubine is stupid to death, making it easy for people to frame her, no wonder her biological daughter was locked up in the ancestral hall for a few days and nights, she didn't even dare to plead, and she didn't know anything about being killed after the most incident, I really don't know how she survived in this deep mansion until now.
Aunt Cui has been in the Ji family for a few years, and there is no one around her who can call her, and the only loyal servant, Aunt Liu, was also driven to the kitchen to do chores, a pair of children don't know how to take care of it, just thinking about giving birth to the third master of the Ji family again, and I don't want to think about waiting for the child to grow up, whether she still has the breath to enjoy happiness.
In the past, Yu Shu's temperament was 10% like her mother-in-law, and a good seedling like Yu Xiaoxiu should have followed his father, right?
Yu Shu thought about it, and asked:
"Xiao Xiu, do you remember our father?"
Yu Xiaoxiu shook his head with a cold expression, "When my father died, I was only three years old, how could I remember." ”
Yu Shu calculated, Aunt Cui remarried into the Ji family six years ago, and Yu Xiaoxiu lost her father at the age of three, that is to say, when Father Yu died, she was seven years old, and she should have an impression of him.
"What about the mother?" Yu Shu asked tentatively, she didn't know much about the situation before the three of them sent it to the Ji family, but there was still Aunt Liu, who was not a poor person.
"Mother?" Yu Xiaoxiu shook his head in confusion, "Mother's business, I don't know much about it, she never mentions it, and Aunt Liu doesn't like to talk about it, you forgot that we asked her, and she was prevaricated every time." ”
"Then I'll go back and ask Aunt Liu again."
Yu Shu went back to the courtyard, and before he returned to the house, he went to talk to Aunt Liu.
(There are two more).
