Chapter 24: The Sail (13)

Jingyi turned her head and sure enough, she saw a black sedan following them. She couldn't read the license plate number clearly, and asked, "It's for the second young master, right?" ”

Since the robbery at the airport that year, the security of Tao's entry and exit has always been very thorough. Because she was used to it, she didn't care when she came out.

"It's the palace guard." Uncle Zhang said, raised his eyes and looked in the rearview mirror again, and then looked at Jing Yi's face, "Young grandma, don't you need them to follow?" ”

"Let them be." Jing Yi said softly.

The car behind followed them not far away, and when they arrived at the door of Wanxiangzhai, they also stopped the car.

"Young grandma is still in the car, I'll buy any snacks you want." Uncle Zhang asked Jingyi what she needed.

"I'll take my pick. I also got out of the car to take a breath, a little motion sickness. Jingyi said, and when she was about to open the door, she saw an old man selling rock sugar gourds across the street. She took a bill from her small purse and gave it to Uncle Zhang, "Please ask Uncle Zhang to buy a few strings of rock sugar gourds." Da"

Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "Young grandma, how many sons are the rock sugar gourd worth?" I'll go buy it. ”

He followed Jingyi out of the car.

Jingyi watched him lock the car and walk across the street, grab his handbag and walk towards Wanxiangzhai. As she walked, glancing at the escort car behind herβ€”the Taofu guards who got off the car saluted her from a distanceβ€”she nodded slightly, and calmly ascended the steps.

The crowd around her was bustling, and she walked slowly, avoiding pedestrians.

There was an old lady walking in front of her, holding a boy of three or four years old on the left and right. It's a twin, bouncing and jumping, and it's very cute. In the past, when she saw such a child, she must have stopped and looked twice, but at this time she did not have this mind. But the boy looked back at her, and suddenly smiled...... Jing Yi was stunned. It seemed that a strong light was shining directly into her eyes, and she was shaken in front of her eyes, and she suddenly felt dizzy. In a hurry, she smiled at the boy and continued to climb the steps...... The child broke free from the old lady's hand and jumped up the steps.

Before Jingyi could say a word of caution, the kid jumped into the air and fell towards her. There were five or six steps of steps, and seeing that the child was about to roll down, Jingyi took two steps and stopped the child by the waist - she let out a low cry and hurriedly stabilized the child to see if he was safe. The child was held in her arms, and she was smiling at her with big eyes...... Jingyi lost her mind for a while, and she didn't care that she landed on her knees in order to hold the child, and only then did she react, and her knees hurt her heart.

Suddenly, someone rushed to her side, said that the young grandmother was careful, and then held her and carried the child for her.

When Jing Yi turned her face to look, she didn't recognize it, but looking at the clothes, she was also a Taofu guard. She nodded, relieved to see that the child was okay.

The old lady hurriedly came over, pulled the child over, and thanked Jingyi again and again.

"No thanks." Jingyi smiled. These twins, who are about three or four years old, look healthy and lively. Exactly the same dress, exactly the same tiger head hat and tiger head shoes, very attractive. She couldn't tell for a moment which one was the one she had just hugged, "Let's see if it's hurt?" ”

"No, no. Thank you, Mrs. The old lady pulled the child and looked at Jingyi apologetically, "It's all because I didn't take a good look at him...... Your clothes are dirty. ”

"Young grandma," the guards were also inconvenient to support Jingyi, and only carefully reminded her to get up slowly.

Jingyi nodded, helped down the steps before barely standing up, sure enough, there was a little dust on her body, and she smiled: "It's okay." ”

She lowered her head and brushed the dust, and motioned for the old lady to take the child first.

The old lady thanked her again and again before leaving.

"Young grandma, are you okay?" The guards looked at Jingyi with some nervousness.

Jingyi nodded and waved their hands so that they didn't have to follow, "I'll come out right away." ”

The guards watched her being welcomed into the shop by the men, so they stayed at the door of the shop, occasionally turning their heads to look inside the shop.

Uncle Zhang bought a rock sugar gourd and came back, looked up at the sun, and then looked at the guards guarding the door of the dim sum shop, and simply went up and asked, "Young grandma is still inside?" ”

He said and looked into the shop, but he didn't see Jingyi's figure, so he sighed, and when he entered the shop, he saw that there was no one there, and he was stunned for a while, grabbed a guy and described Jingyi's appearance to him, and asked if he had seen such a young lady.

The fellow looked at him and shook his head.

Uncle Zhang raised his hand to wipe his sweat, said that it was broken, it was broken, and when he came out to call the guard, he said, "It's broken, it's broken...... The young grandmother is gone......"

The guard was also stunned, and when he entered the shop, his face turned blue, and he grabbed the guy and asked, "Is there a back door in the shop?" ”

The guy was stunned by him, pointed to the east and said, "Yes, there is indeed a gate on Huixian Street over there...... Don't do that, scare me to death...... If there is anything you don't say...... Just now, the lady came in and bought a lot of things and asked them to be sent to the west of the city...... Then he gave the money and left without waiting to find the money...... Oh yes, I used the electricity in our shop 61 chapter......"

Uncle Zhang didn't wait for the guy to finish speaking, threw the rock sugar gourd in his hand, and went to the east gate - there was a lot of traffic on Huixian Street, where was there still a trace of the seventh young grandmother?

"What should I do?" The guards were dumbfounded.

"Where do I know what to do? Are you a guard or am I a guard? Uncle Zhang blew his beard and glared.

A driver dares to scold the guards in the palace who show off his might, which is also unprecedented. But at this time, the guards were capsized in the gutter, and they had to rely on Uncle Zhang to provide information to find the seventh young grandmother, and they dared not speak out.

Uncle Zhang didn't wait for him to ask, and said, "I don't know where the seventh young grandmother went, I just drive, the person is lost, you go and explain to the wife and the seventh young master......" He said, turned around with his hand behind his back and left.

The guard stomped his feet, returned to the shop and shouted, "Shopkeeper, borrow 61 words for use!" ”

He called 61 words, and Uncle Zhang had already left the shop......

……

Tao Xiang returned to the headquarters of the Northwest Army, and only then sat down after listening to the confidential secretary report on the day's desk trivialities.

The cavalry regiment of the Qiyun battalion was currently stationed on the outskirts of the city, and a batch of horses from Mongolia had just arrived, and he went over to inspect them. In addition to inspecting the horses, he also raced horses with the soldiers of the Dunhuang and cavalry regiments. In the past, no matter what, he would be in a better mood when he rode a horse and ran. But this time it didn't work. The people at the bottom thought that he was unhappy that he lost the horse race, and even Xiao Dunhuang made fun of him for not being able to win the new recruits of the cavalry regiment after a long time of not being able to win the battle...... He was willing to gamble and lose.

When I returned to the city, I was with Dunhuang. Dunhuang saw that he was in a bad mood, and on the way he looked empty and asked why. He just said it was fine. Of course, Xiao Dunhuang could see that he would not be fine. But he didn't ask, so he said that he was going to drink for the past two days, just look for him, and he was also very depressed.

Xiao Dunhuang came back this time to go on a blind date. The old man returned to Dunhuang several times, and he was shirked for various high-sounding reasons. The old man had no choice, so he ran to the headquarters to find him and asked him to summon his son back.

Xiao Dunhuang was embarrassed on his face, and said that there was only one sentence in the old man's telegram, if he didn't go back on a blind date, just wait to see him hanged...... But if you don't go back, the old man hangs himself; Go back, he'll have to hang himself. Anyway, one of the father and son must hang himself this time.

The father and son are equally humorous.

He was entrusted by the old man, and slightly revealed the intention of persuading Dunhuang to start a family, and Dunhuang bluntly said that he had no such plan at the moment......

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Tao Xiang said and came in.

The confidential secretary came in and said that he had just forgotten a message and that it was from home.

He lit a cigarette and asked who had done it.

The secretary said that it was Zhang's mother who was next to his wife, but he didn't leave a word.

Tao Xiang asked him to go out and immediately dialed the phone number 61 at home. When I went to Langyuan, I was picked up by Zhang's mother......

Tao Xiang put down the microphone, and the cigarette in his hand shook slightly.

He crushed the cigarette.

"Li Dalong!" He shouted.

"In!" Lee came in from outside.

"Check ...... for me" As he was talking, the table phone 61 bell rang, he grabbed it, and the operator said that the commander would take the call 61 immediately after a while, "I'm Tao Xiang." ”

Li Dalong saw that Tao Xiang's face changed, and the microphone was buttoned, and he said, "Give me the map of Lanzhou City." ”

"Yes." Dalong dug through a pile of maps and found the one Tao Xiang needed, and spread it out on his desk.

Tao Xiang swiped his finger and quickly found one of the points, and his gaze was fixed there. In a moment, he picked up his coat and left.

Li Dalong hurriedly followed and asked, "Qishao, what did you say you wanted to check just now?" ”

Tao Xiao quickly descended the stairs, unhooked the holster he had just put on as he walked, and shook his hand back, and Li Dalong hurriedly collected it for him.

Li Dalong held Tao Xiang's gun, and suddenly felt that if Qi Shao didn't understand the gun, he was afraid that he would use it later...... Thinking about it like this, he broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't keep up with Tao Xiang's pace. When I got out of the headquarters building and saw the driver parked in front of the building, I listened to Tao Xiang order the driver to step back, got into the car and closed the door. Li Dalong's eyes were fast, and when Tao Xiang started the car, he didn't care about the detour, and directly opened the door and jumped into the car...... Li Dalong was in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to ask Tao Xiang who was driving. He grabbed the handlebar and looked out the window, making out his surroundings – it didn't take long for the car to turn into Hoo Yin Street in the downtown area...... He woke up suddenly: what the commander was looking for on the map just now was Huixian Street - sure enough, the car slowed down, he sat down, and wanted to ask the commander where he was going, but when he looked down and saw the commander's holster in his arms, he decided that it was better to shut up......

Tao Xiang drove through two intersections and stopped.

He saw a small door in front of him, a red cross on a white background, which was a Western medicine clinic.

There are not many Western doctors in this city, and this one is the only one on this street. He'd seen the map. It was a detailed map of operations, with descriptions accurate to the location and purpose of each building, to its internal structure. At this time, he could even sketch in his mind every room of the clinic on the second floor...... He got out of the car decisively.

Li Dalong followed and got out of the car. He saw Commander Tao's tall figure stand up after taking two or three steps, and he wanted to follow, but when he raised his eyes, he also stopped - at the staircase directly below the clinic plaque with a red cross on a white background in front of him, a nurse in a white robe was helping a young lady out...... Li Dalong saw the appearance of the lady clearly, and shouted loudly: "Seven young ......"

Tao Xiang in front of him didn't move, but Cheng Jingyi in front of him seemed to be frozen.

It seemed to take a lot of effort for her to turn her face to look in the direction of the sound she had just madeβ€”she saw Tao Xiang.

The nurse was just asking her if she wanted to take her home, if she could do it, and if she should be careful when taking the rickshaw...... There was already a rickshaw parked in front of her, and it would be nice to take two more steps to step up. She stood down and looked at Tao Xiang from afar.

He didn't seem to want to come right away.

She couldn't read his expression clearly. His upright figure seemed to be the only one standing still on this bustling street. She didn't know why, looking at his still figure, her heart was like a knife in an instant...... She turned to the nurse and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

As she spoke, she took two steps forward and was about to get into the rickshaw when suddenly her wrist was grabbed. Her legs were already sore, barely holding on. His palms burned and he grabbed her wrists, as if he could instantly scald her flesh and bones...... She heard the nurse hesitantly ask her who it was. Before she could answer, he had spoken.

Tao Xiang said: "I am her husband. ”

He only said that, and the surroundings fell silent, and she could only hear these words echoing in her ears...... She was dizzy.

Tao Xiang held her wrist and pulled her closer, looked into her eyes, only for a moment, before she could see what was in his eyes, he had already picked her up.

She could still hear the noise all around her, the sound of the nurse's heels banging on the floor, and her anxious questioning where he was taking her...... But he didn't answer.

His steps were fast, and the wind was whirring in her ears. Maybe not just the wind, but also the sound of his breathing. Like a storm, like a tsunami...... Like the wind she heard when she was buckled by him in the saddle of Fulong Mountain.

"Go back to Qingyu Bridge." This was the second sentence he spoke, as calm and powerful as ever.

The blanket he had brought out of nowhere covered her body.

She still felt cold.

"When you go back, you won't be allowed to say a word unless I ask you to speak." He whispered in her ear.

Her eyes rolled, and the cold and pain made her a little confused. He probably knew that, so he didn't say anything more......

The carriage was like an ice cellar, and the two people who were frozen were like ice cubes.

And Langyuan is not much better at this time.

Mrs. Tao sat downstairs in the living room and waited for Tao Xiang and Jingyi to come back, and she had been waiting for two hours.

Mama Zhang stood with her hands down, watching Mrs. Tao sitting on the sofa, closing her eyes and recuperating, like a sculpture.

Mrs. Tao suddenly came in the afternoon, saying that she was visiting Nannan. After glancing at the girl who was taking a nap, he came out and began to ask about Jingyi and Tao Xiang.

As usual, I can't ask anything, Zhang's mother has always said what she shouldn't say, Yue'er really doesn't know the inside story, and others naturally don't understand. But she was not angry, and waited patiently...... It wasn't until there was a noise outside the gate that the white lion was the first to run to the door, and Mrs. Tao opened her eyes and said, "I'm back at last." ”

She waited quietly, watching Mama Zhang and Yue'er curtsy and open the door to go out, and soon heard the sound of chaotic footsteps. Her handmaiden Ke'er bent over and whispered something in her ear, her voice getting lower and lower.

Mrs. Tao's eyebrows raised, and she saw Tao Xiang enter the door.

Tao Xiang saw that his mother was here, and he didn't put Jingyi down immediately. On the contrary, Jing Yi struggled to let him go, he looked at Mrs. Tao and said, "Mother, Jing Yi is sick, I will send her upstairs." ”

He didn't wait for Mrs. Tao to say anything, turned around and hurried upstairs.

Except for Mama Zhang and Yue'er, who followed up, the rest of Mrs. Tao and others were a little stunned.

Mrs. Tao came back to her senses and glanced at Li Dalong.

Da Long stood upright, not saying a word.

Mrs. Tao knew that it was useless to ask him, so she simply lifted her skirt and went upstairs - at this time, Tao Xiang had already come out of the bedroom, and when she saw her mother coming up, he had an apologetic look on his face, and said, "Mother, forgive my son for being disrespectful." ”

Mrs. Tao looked at him and asked, "Is it serious?" Ask the doctor to come and ......."

"I just saw the doctor come back." Tao Xiang said.

"What disease?" Mrs. Tao asked.

Tao Xiang said, "Mother, please go back and rest first." ”

Mrs. Tao stared at Tao Xiang with wide eyes, waved her hand back and left, and asked, "What disease?" ”

Tao Xiang only showed a little fatigue at this time. He didn't answer for a moment.

Mrs. Tao endured it for a long time, but still said, "I have heard that she wants to divorce you." But she is so fashionable and as a member of the Tao family, she is so reckless! ”

"I agreed, Mother." Tao Xiang said in a low voice.

When Mrs. Tao heard this, she changed color, and her hand pointing at Tao Xiang trembled, and she said, "Okay! What a good one you agree with! You call this a great rebellion...... You! ”

"Mother," Tao Xiang bowed his head. Although he lowered his head, his voice was not weak at all, "Mother, this is a matter between me and Jingyi. I hope my mother will understand. Mother is also tired these days, so it is better to go back and rest first. I'll explain the reasons to my mother later. ”

Mrs. Tao has almost never been so disobedient to Tao Xiang, but she also knows that with Tao Xiang's character, she says that she is considerate, but in fact, she is not allowed to interfere.

She was extremely angry and said to Tao Xiang: "For her, you have repeatedly made exceptions. She's a ...... loss."

Tao Xiang's face was grim, and his eyes were cold.

Mrs. Tao looked at his eyes, and suddenly felt a little cold in her heart, and swallowed back what she wanted to say. Gritting his teeth, he glared at the closed bedroom door and said, "I'll leave." But that's not the end of it. Old Seven, you have to make it clear to me as it is. Otherwise, I will escort your ancestors to the temple! ”

"Mother, please." Tao Xiang did not answer. He motioned for Ke'er to come over and help Mrs. Tao, personally sent Mrs. Tao downstairs, watched her get into the sedan chair and leave, and then returned upstairs.
