Chapter 177: Childe and I go back to the Yamen!
The old man looked very excited, his eyes looked directly at Yang Xiaoer, for fear that he would run away, while Yang Xiaoer timidly lowered his head on the side and said nothing, for fear that he would restrain himself again.
I looked at Yang Xiaoer and asked the last question: "Xiao Er, let me ask you, how far is the bandit's cottage from here?" ”
"More than fifty miles!" Yang Xiaoer replied very simply.
I was dumbfounded, my forehead dropped, the Yang Xiaoer in front of me wearing a mop has been running for fifty miles, I said how could the clothes on his body flutter in the wind one by one, dare to let this branch be chopped! I turned my head and comforted the old man, "Since that's the case, the two of us going now is tantamount to looking for death, or let's go back first, and wait until we go back to think about it in the long run!" ”
The old man also knew that there was no other way, stared straight at Yang Xiaoer, and nodded.
I pulled the horse and turned the horse's head, turned over and climbed onto the horse with great effort, and then looked at the old man and Yang Xiaoer, "What should you two do?" ”
"Let him ride with me!" The old man replied very simply.
"No, no, no......." Yang Xiaoer hurriedly waved his hand, and he couldn't hide a little timidity in his eyes.
I smiled, "Otherwise, you lead the way in front and let Yang Xiaoer ride a horse with me!" ”
I saw a flash of gratitude in Yang Xiaoer's eyes, but the old man turned his head to look at me and hurriedly said, "It's still the son who leads the way, I'll take the back!" ”
"It's good!" I understand the little abacus in his heart, and he is still worried that Yang Xiaoer has run away.
I knew the way back, so I just had to follow the path back to the main road before, and it was already noon when we ran into the still noisy town of Jinshi.
As soon as I entered the town, I saw Ye Zhutou coming up, Ye Zhutou was followed by a few yacha, and when he saw me, he didn't ask much, so he stretched out his hand and stopped me.
"Childe, where have you been?" Ye Zhutou looked at me, and his tone was not good.
"It's just a walk!" I replied.
"And who is ......?" Ye Zhutou's eyes looked at Yang Xiaoer, who was hiding behind me.
Before I could speak, the old man on the other horse immediately spoke: "He's a bandit......!" ”
"Bandits?" The crowd who were originally watching and joining in the excitement hurriedly dispersed when they heard the word 'bandit', as if they were afraid of contracting bird flu, even Ye Zhutou looked at Yang Xiaoer with a vigilant look, and his right hand had already held the knife hanging on his waist.
I turned my head and waited fiercely for the old man, and then hurriedly raised my hand to signal, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, he is the eldest son of our Yang family in Jinshi Town!" ”
"The eldest son of the Yang family?" There seemed to be someone in the crowd who knew the Yang family, and said to themselves loudly: "No, the eldest son of the Yang family died three years ago, how can he be the eldest son of the Yang family?" ”
"Uncle, it's me!" Yang Xiaoer hid behind me, timidly looked at the gossiping crowd, and then shouted excitedly.
The man who was talking to himself looked at Yang Xiaoer, and suddenly there was surprise in his eyes, "Oh, it's really the eldest son of the Yang family, you are still alive!" ”
Ye Zhutou looked at the man and asked in a low voice, "Is he really the eldest son of the Yang family?" ”
"I can't be wrong, I can't be wrong, I watched him grow up!" The man who was talking to himself stepped forward with joy on his face, and then helped Yang Xiaoer off the horse, and then the two turned around and left.
"Don't go yet!" Ye Zhutou stopped them.
Yang Xiaoer looked at him timidly, and then turned his head to look at me.
"Ye Zhutou, do you have anything else?" I asked.
"Childe," Ye Zhutou looked at Yang Xiaoer, who was dressed in a mop, and then looked up at me, "Why are you with the eldest son of the Yang family?" ”
"Uh...... That's a long story! "I wanted to say more.
"Childe will come back to the yamen with me!" Without waiting for me to speak again, Ye Zhutou said in an unkind tone.
"No, no, no!" The old man behind me hurriedly stopped him, "I still have to take him to see our master!" ”
"Your lord?" Ye Zhutou looked at the old man, and suddenly saw that it was someone from the Wang family, "Oh, it turned out to be a member of the Wang family, how did this son know your Wang family?" ”
"It's a long story!" The old man hurriedly dismounted.
Ye Zhutou looked at me, and then at the old man, "Since that's the case, then I'll go to the Wang family with you!" After saying that, he raised his feet and left.
I looked at him striding forward with his toes high, and I was angry in my heart, damn, isn't it just a little head catcher, what's the big deal, I will let you listen to me if I take the top prize in the exam.
Yang Xiaoer looked at me timidly and asked quietly, "Childe, will I go too?" ”
"You go home first, I'll look for you when I get back!"
"Good!" Yang Xiaoer responded, turned around and left.
This is how our group returned to Wang's house.
Before entering the door, the old man Wang greeted him out of the door, and I said in my heart that this old man seemed to have a little conscience, but before my thoughts disappeared, I saw this old man being polite to Ye Zhutou, and then led him into the courtyard.
Damn, who said that, you can't believe the feeling at first sight.
I followed them into the courtyard in a daze.
The servant took the reins from my hand and led the horse away, and I followed the group of people into the lobby, and then the servant served tea.
Old man Wang sat down, Ye Zhutou sat down, and then I sat aside.
Old man Wang looked at Ye Zhutou and smiled slightly: "I don't know if Ye Zhutou is engraved with the news of a little girl?" ”
"Not yet!" Ye Zhutou said honestly.
"That Ye catcher came this time...... So what's going on? Old man Wang continued to ask.
"Just now I inspected the gate of the city, and I saw that this prince was returning from outside with Master Wang's people, and there was a thief behind him, so I came to ask!" Ye Zhutou said, turning his head to look at me.
When Old Man Wang heard that I had arrested a bandit, he hurriedly looked at me and asked, "Master Bi, is Ye Zhutou telling the truth?" ”
"What, Yang Xiaoer is not a bandit, he just met him on the road!" I explained slowly, and then I told the whole thing.
The people present were stunned for a while, just like listening to a commentary, thanks to the fact that I also brought an old man with me, otherwise I wouldn't even have a personal certificate.
Old man Wang asked a few words from time to time, but before I could speak, the old man who had gone with me before added everything, which also saved me a second time.
Ye Zhutou's eyes were still sharp when he looked at me, as if I owed him two hundred yuan.
At the end, Old Man Wang slowly bowed his head and said, "Well, it seems that we still need to ask Yang Xiaoer!" ”
I looked at him, "Yang Xiaoer has gone home!" ”
Ye Zhutou stood up and wanted to leave, "I'm going to find him and ask him clearly!" ”
"No hurry, no hurry!" Old man Wang raised his hand to reassure, "Since Yang Xiaoer has been away from home for a long time, there are naturally a lot of things to tell my father and mother, and it's not too late to find them tomorrow!" ”
I nodded approvingly, and then turned my head to look at Ye Zhutou in disgust, look at others, how self-contained, look at you again, isn't it just a catcher, how can you look at everyone like a thief?
Since Old Man Wang had arranged it, Ye Zhutou didn't say anything more.
