The wait in the darkness seemed to be another lifetime, especially after only a short moment of calm, and then I heard a faint shouting from the direction of the back garden gradually coming from the direction of the inner courtyard.

Zhou Manyun clutched the pane tightly, desperately looking out into the darkness from a small eye that was poked open.

I couldn't see anything clearly, but I still worked hard.

She didn't ask for any more from the two guards in the room, because the unquestionable aura on their bodies was very familiar to Zhou Manyun in her previous life.

Zhou Manyun could only persuade himself to calm down and listen carefully to the sound outside the window. can be mixed with the scolding in the collision of weapons, there are Zhu's mother's, there are Bailu's, but there is no mother's kiss.

Could it be that if you live a lifetime, you can only stand by and watch! Zhou Manyun once again deeply hated her five-year-old body, and the chain of silver rings on her arms tightened, relaxed, and tightened again with her rapid breathing, and was entangled in a few places, on the verge of suffocation.

Suddenly, several clear and sharp whistles sounded in the courtyard, two long and one short. The sound in the courtyard has not completely dissipated, and the exact same sound echoes from different directions.

Above Zhou Manyun's head, the same voice was immediately soaring in a high pitch.

She looked up and saw that the baby-faced guard was lowering his curled fingers from his mouth, his round face flushed with excitement.

"Can I go out?" , Zhou Manyun asked, and without waiting for an answer, he jumped to the door.

"The invading bandits should be all clean......", as soon as the belated explanation came, Manyun's small figure had already run towards the courtyard quickly.

There was a slight smell of blood all around, and the smell of Manyun's nightmare was unbearable. But at this time, she didn't care about it, and only desperately shouted while running, "Mother...... Mother...... Mother! ”。

Corpse! The people lying quietly in the courtyard should all be corpses.

There are three bodies a few steps from the front yard door to the courtyard, and one is under the steps of the upper room where Mrs. Zhou lives.

There was also a black shadow lying on the ground at the door of the moon connected to the back garden, and the fat figure sitting next to him was humming, and Man Yun recognized it as Mother Zhu at a glance.

Man Yun only felt that his eyes were dark, and his steps became staggering.

"Mother!" , with a call, Zhou Manyun planted forward, if he hadn't been caught by Zhu's mother's big hand, he would have to stumble on the ground immediately. It was also at the moment of slight upside-down hanging that Man Yun saw the corpse on the ground clearly, it was a male corpse with a blurred face.

"Mother Zhu! Mother, where is she! Man Yun grabbed Zhu's mother's arm, her face full of anxiety.

"Then, Liu Gui! What are you doing, why did you let my sister run out! Zhu's mother stood up, took Man Yun's hand, and roared at the baby face who ran after her.

"My mother!" , the little body was stubborn, and roared out a high note.

"Miss has been taking Xiaoman to ...... embroidery building"

Mother Zhu looked at Man Yun who ran away again, rubbed her hands, looked down at the bloodstains on her body, and sprinkled her anger on the baby-faced face who looked very clean, "Don't hurry up and keep up with my sister's ......."

With a refreshing response, Liu Gui, who caught up with Man Yun from behind, picked her up and carried her on his shoulder.

Man Yun was not polite, as soon as he sat down, his little hand pointed to Xiulou, and ordered loudly, "Quick!" Hurry up! ”

was carried high, and the field of vision suddenly became much wider, and in the back garden where a lot of torches were lit, Man Yun clearly recognized Du Xuanshuang, also recognized the fourth uncle, and even some soldiers wearing Chen Chao's cyan uniform......

The door to the backyard was still wide open, and several horses loomed outside the wall.

Thinking about it, just when the bandits invaded, the local garrison in Fengjin County also rushed to the rescue. In this way, there should have been no tragic incidents, seeing that the fourth uncle and Du Xuanshuang were in a good state, Zhou Manyun's heart dropped a little more.

Five were killed in this courtyard, and four were left alive. Along the way, I greeted my companions in the backyard, and when I learned about the battle, Liu Gui, who had a baby face, was no longer a wooden man, and I didn't forget to brag a few words while carrying Manyun.

"Little Miss, don't pay attention to them. Speaking of which, among our pluckers, I and Xing Laosi have the best kung fu. That's why Miss asked us to take care of the little Miss and a few of you......"

It's up to you to blow! Zhou Manyun chuckled, she also heard the answer just now, before the fire started, Du Shi was guarding in Manhua's room, and he had never gone out, so he should be very fine now.

Zhou Manhua's boudoir was arranged on the second floor of the small attic, and Manyun, who had calmed down downstairs, hesitantly patted Liu Gui's shoulder and motioned for him to let himself down.

Liu Gui, who wrung his eyebrows, didn't say a word, but hurriedly supported Man Yun sideways, firmly hiding the figures of the two people in the shadow of the pillars.

Zhou Manyun opened her mouth in amazement, and naturally closed it, she understood that it should be Liu Gui who discovered something.

Sure enough, immediately after, I saw a figure rolling down the stairs on the second floor.

The person who was waiting to come down from the upstairs hugged the handrail of the staircase and stood still, and Zhou Manyun, who was secretly looking at him, had more doubts in his eyes.

The cross-collared narrow-sleeved crimson robe, with a flat pattern and a silver belt around the waist, if you guessed correctly, it should be the local garrison general of Fengjin who brought those soldiers to the rescue of the Zhou family.

But the Zhou family, who would treat this official so slowly? Zhou Manyun's doubts just rose, and his eyes widened again at the man's shout.

This man who looked like he should be in his thirties shouted very sincerely, "Fifth aunt! You stay, we are all our own relatives, you don't have to be polite. You just take care of Sister Hua. ”

"Zhang Shaoxiong! Be honest with me, don't scream! Which is your fifth aunt! A cold light flashed, a sharp sword was placed on the man's neck, and Du's vigorous figure appeared in front of Zhou Manyun's eyes.

The man was not annoyed, and there was still a smile on his long face, "Fifth aunt, it looks like my mother-in-law didn't tell you." Also, after all, it is ...... to let Sister Hua be a concubine"

With a snap, before he could finish speaking, Du Shi had already slapped the scabbard he was still holding in his other hand on Zhang Shaoxiong's face with his backhand, drawing out the slightest trace of blood. She didn't know what this old acquaintance in Beijing had to rely on now to dare to rush to Manhua's embroidery room after the so-called rescue and make nonsense without care, but she also understood that if he was allowed to talk too much, he would completely ruin Manhua's reputation.

Zhang Shaoxiong wiped the bloodshot on his lips, stared at Du Shi's eyes, and flashed a fierce light.

But after a while, he looked at Du Shi Lang with a tense face and smiled, arched his hand, turned around and left.

Du Shi returned the sword into the sheath, and threw it back to Xiao Man, who was standing hesitantly on the stairs, not knowing whether to go up or down.

Zhou Manyun saw that her mother had no murder weapon in her hand, and immediately patted her little chest that was about to explode.

"Take Sister Yun back!" After going up three or four steps, Du Shi turned around, held on to the handrail of the ladder, and explained to Liu Gui.

"Mother!" , Zhou Manyun dragged the delicate tail note and opened his arms to Du Shi.

Du Shi sighed lightly, turned around, and hugged his daughter, "Good, Sister Yun will go back to sleep first!" ”

More drums, just the time to report the sun.

Zhou Manyun hugged his mother's neck tightly, not daring to let it go again. It's about to be the fifth day of the seventh month, and from now on, she will not be half a step away from her mother.

Du Shi patted Raipi's daughter, helpless. She didn't want to bother with other things for no reason, but there were some things she had to figure out, Zhou Manhua was the eldest granddaughter of the Zhou family, and her marriage affected the few little girls below, not to mention that she was also provoked by a playful Zhang Shaoxiong.

"Sister Yun...... You go to sleep first. Mother looked at Sister Manhua and ......"

"Manhua is asleep! Fifth brother and sister, don't bother to look at her! Du's words were coldly interrupted, and Xie walked down the stairs step by step, his eyes firmly fixed on Man Yun in a boy's outfit.

"But ......"

"Don't worry about it! Du Shanshan, do you think you can manage everything? Explain tonight's events to me first! Xie slapped away Du Shi's hand that wanted to step forward to hold her, and his face was full of fierceness.
