Chapter 14: The Rain Grows Stronger and Stronger (5)
Jing Yi wanted to see more clearly, but could only see a large number of gray military uniforms running in one direction, as if someone was indeed surrounded. She felt anxious. If someone is arrested at this time, it is most likely to be Dunhuang...... She thought of the appearance of Xiao Dunhuang when he left, he was probably not worried that his whereabouts would be exposed, but there was no fear in his eyes.
She opened her mouth to ask, but Ma Xingjian said: "Young grandmother, you and Miss Eight leave safely, and Seven Young Talents have no worries." He"
She was stunned.
While she was stunned, the two of them sent her to the waiting car. Jingyi got into the car, and the two of them guarded the car door. I didn't see Tao Xiang come out. Jingyi waited. It's Eryi who is waiting. Ma Xingjian left with the car, but Tu Huyi turned back. Jingyi knew that he was going back to find Tao Xiang...... She didn't look back.
Although the car is frightened, it still looks very sober.
Jingyi looked at her, and realized that although Er Yiping was very arrogant, he showed everyone's demeanor when he encountered things. Tao Xiang is right, who in the Tao family has not experienced a life-and-death situation...... She didn't know why, but she was tossing and turning at this moment, and all she thought of was what he had said.
Er Yi looked at the soil on Jingyi's body, and his face was also covered with a layer, looking wooden, very dumbfounded, and asked, "Seventh sister-in-law is frightened?" ”
Jingyi shook her head.
Although the bomb attack was terrifying, she had seen it once. This time, she was obviously more calm than before. At this time, she actually remembered what Yamei said, she said that she chose to follow Tao Si, and she was prepared to accompany him in this life...... There was still a ringing in her ears, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to press her ear to relieve the severe pain caused by the tremor of the eardrum.
"Then why is your face so ugly?" Er Yi took out a handkerchief and gave it to Jingyi. She searched her side and frowned, "Oops! I just took such an award certificate and lost it...... When I went home and saw my father, I didn't know what to say. It was too chaotic just now, and I didn't have time for anything...... Da"
"If my father knew that you had escaped death today, I don't know how to be happy." Jingyi clutched her handkerchief and trembled uncontrollably.
Er Yi saw it and said, "I said I wasn't scared, my hands were shaking." ”
Jingyi didn't tell the difference, and said to the driver, "Drive the car in through the back door." Miss Eight and I have to clean up first. ”
Er Yi had no other opinions, Jing Yi leaned back in his seat, his mind full of recovering the picture before and after the explosion just now. Lu Zheng, Jiaojiao, Wen Juan...... Dunhuang ...... The smell of smoke in Dunhuang in the smoke of gunpowder will give her a sense of familiarity and calmness...... And also...... The car stopped.
Er Yi saw that Jingyi's face was getting worse and worse, and she had to help her when she got out of the car. She just shook Er Yi's hand and said to Ma Xingjian, who wanted to send them in: "Adjutant Ma, we have all arrived home, we are safe." You are the seventh young guard, it is better to be by his side at this time. ”
Ma Xingjian didn't say anything, just looked at her and Er Yi.
"Adjutant Ma, let's go? Go and help. I don't know what kind of beast this is, under such a black hand. I don't think it's the Ma family, or the bandits of Fulong Mountain......" Er Yi only showed his anger at this time.
Jingyi patted her hand, didn't care about Ma Xingjian, and walked back with Eryi.
Qiu Wei ran out first, stunned.
Jingyi didn't care about Qiu Wei's mother and their reaction at this time, so she went up with Er Yi to wash her face and change her clothes. Still in the bathroom, they heard from Zhang's mother, and Mrs. called to ask if Grandma Qishao had come back, and Mrs. said that she would be there soon. Jingyi and Er Yi discussed whether to wait for Mrs. Tao to come over, it was better for them to go over, and Yue'er had already run up to say that Mrs. Tao was here......
Mrs. Tao was relieved to see that Jingyi and Er Yi were unscathed. She took Er Yi away at the moment and ordered Jingyi to rest.
Jingyi sat downstairs in the living room for a long time.
The white lion lay at her feet, sleeping lazily on his back.
Jingyi reached out and touched its belly and said, "It's just you, a lot of life is alive......"
When the phone rang, she didn't raise her head and motioned for Zhang's mother to answer.
waited until she heard Zhang's mother tell her that it was the old lady's call, and then she reached out to answer it.
Zhang's mother saw Jingyi take the microphone, and with a soft and glutinous "grandma" call, the gentle expression on her face completely covered up the indifference and sluggishness that had been hanging for a long time......
Jingyi went to Mrs. Tao as usual for dinner, and immediately learned that Lu Datong had died in the explosion of the No. 1 Women's Middle School. At this time, the Lu family was immersed in grief. Tao Shengchuan ordered martial law to arrest the murderer. Due to Lu Datong's death, Tao Xiang not only immediately transferred almost all the troops of the Qiyun battalion, but also temporarily took over the position of Lu Datong's chief of staff. Tao Shengchuan was in charge, and Tao Xiang, as the acting chief of staff, had full authority to command the operation...... The aunts and grandmothers of the Tao family have all seen the big wind and waves, and in the face of such changes, although they are shocked, they are not out of shape. The conversation during the banquet is like watching the fire from across the river and watching the play from the audience...... Even the two men surnamed Tao who hold great power in the play don't seem to have a blood relationship with them. Only at the end, when I sighed the sentence "Time is also fate", did I hear a trace of desolation......
Jingyi ate a lot this dinner. The table was full of dishes, and she tasted them all.
"Seventh daughter-in-law, if you continue to eat like this, your mother-in-law will call the doctor to prescribe a recipe for you tonight." Tao Inze said to Jingyi.
"Don't bother the doctor, which room doesn't always have a diet pill?" Tao Yinrun continued. She looked at Jingyi, "Why didn't I hear you say that you have a bad appetite?" ”
Jing Yi looked at Tao Yinrun as if he was smiling, although the others didn't say anything, they all seemed to be laughing and listening to their conversation, so she cleared her throat and said, "Sister Jin Xuan, give me another bowl of rice." ”
Tao Yinrun smiled and leaned on Tao Yinze's shoulder, pointed at Jingyi and said, "Hurry up and serve her, I see how many bowls of rice she can eat!" ”
Jin Xuan came over with a smile, but Qiu Wei had already taken Jingyi's bowl away, and said with a smile: "Sister Jin Xuan really gave another bowl?" It's going to break! Jin Xuan then poured a bowl of tea for Jingyi.
Jingyi smiled and took a sip of tea.
"I just like children with good appetites, blessed!" Tao Yinrun smiled.
Tao Yinze said first: "You like it, cats for a while, dogs for a while." Whoever made you like it, it's really edifying. ”
Mrs. Tao listened and beckoned them to leave the table, and Tao Yinqing began to shout to play cards when they came. Count the heads, just two tables of mahjong. Jingyi's cards have never played badly, just full of numbers. Er Yi looked at the cards behind her for a long time, and thought anxiously.
Tao Yinze was upset when he heard this, and glared at Eryi, "A true gentleman who doesn't speak when watching chess, why can't you learn this kind of cultivation." ”
"After this summer vacation, I think she is no longer noisy every day." Tao Yinrun likes Eryi's lively personality. Er Yi was sitting between her and Jingyi, and he was tired of her when he heard this. Tao Yinrun pushed her away and said, "Sycophant...... Is the university decided? ”
"Not yet. I wanted to go to Yan University, but my second sister-in-law asked me to study at Jinling Women's University, and my mother let me go to the School of Law and Politics...... The seventh sister-in-law hates it the most, she says it's okay to have any of them. Eryi smiled.
"It's really any of them. If you are a woman in Jinling, the second brother and sister-in-law will be close to you to take care of you. Jingyi said. Er Yi first received the admission notice from Yan University, and Jinling Women's University is still waiting for news, and the local School of Law and Politics is more convenient. "Why don't you go and visit the school?"
"That's a good idea. That's right, if the seventh brother and seventh sister-in-law are going to Nanjing, will I go with them? Eryi got excited.
Mrs. Tao looked at her and frowned: "They are going to have a business, what are you making trouble with?" In this case, it is not certain whether they will be able to make the trip. ”
"I'm serious about going to school!" Er Yi said, pulling Jingyi, "Seventh sister-in-law, your idea...... If you tell my father for me, and my father agrees, my mother will have no opinion. ”
Jingyi was drawing cards and said, "If I can get along, I'll say it for you...... Ah! ”
Er Yi came over to take a look, and immediately pushed the card, saying, "And and it's good!" Give money to money...... Seventh sister-in-law, don't regret it. ”
"How can you be so messing around." Old Madam Tao said with a smile. "It's not impossible to go to the school. It's better to let the eighth child take a look, and it's good to have a long insight. ”
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Tao was speechless.
Not long after, someone outside came to report that Tao Shengchuan was back, and Mrs. Tao hurried back. As soon as she left, I don't know if it was because of a lot of accidents today, although everyone acted as if nothing happened, the atmosphere at home was still a little heavy. The cards became more and more sluggish, and the old aunts and grandmothers also proposed to disperse. Jing Yi stayed at the end and helped clean up the house.
Old Madam Tao sat there and watched her quietly, reminding Jin Xuan and Yin Xuan occasionally where to put something...... In the past, this was all noticed by the daughter-in-law Hu; If the Hu family is not there, the eldest granddaughter-in-law, Fu Lizhen, will take it over.
"It's all right, Jingyi, sit down for a while and then go back." Mrs. Tao said.
"Sister-in-law Seven, don't go back, Brother Seventh is not at home anyway. I'll move to the back gazebo tonight to sleep, I'm a little scared, the seventh sister-in-law and I will be the companion. Eryi came in with a smile and said.
Jing Yi smiled and said, "I haven't been ambushed yet, I've suffered the cold carefully." ”
"That's it." Old Madam Tao glared at Er Yi, "Be honest." If it's okay, I'll bother your seventh sister-in-law. Bring Sister Wen Pei over and play with you for a few days in a few days. They're on vacation, too. ”
Er Yi still wanted to stick to Jingyi, and he was a little embarrassed to be told by his grandmother. Jingyi was originally indispensable for staying here for the night, but when she saw her grandmother say this, she smiled and got up to leave.
Er Yi sent her out and whispered, "Good news, seventh sister-in-law." The suspect in today's attack has been caught. I heard that it was the bandit leader of Fulong Mountain, and it seems that he has arrested several. It's already been interrogated overnight. These days are under martial law outside, and I'm afraid it's inconvenient to enter and exit...... I wanted to hang out with my classmates for a few days, but now it's gone...... Seventh sister-in-law, get up early tomorrow and ride a horse, right? I'm here to call you! ”
Er Yi grunted a long list of words, and Jingyi only heard the word bandit. She frowned. For some reason, she intuitively felt that the mastermind this time was not Xiao Dunhuang. But even if it's not him, he's a wanted target, and once he is caught, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky.
Eryi went back, and Jingyi thought as she walked.
"Miss, if that Dunhuang is really arrested...... Will it kill the head? Qiu Wei asked quietly.
Jingyi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe." ”
But maybe not...... If Dunhuang was not the mastermind of the bomb attack. I don't know if Tao Xiang will open the net? I always feel that Tao Xiang mentioned Dunhuang, there is some cherishing in it.
She was a little tired, but after taking a shower, she was sober again. Turning off the lights, Qiu Wei quickly snored. She couldn't sleep more and more because of the noise. Look at the time it's half past two in the morning...... She simply went downstairs. I remember that there was a lot of wine in the wine cabinet in the restaurant downstairs.
She was light all the way, and the white lion followed without taking two steps, and her steps were heavier than her, but ran ahead of her.
Jingyi didn't turn on the lights in order not to alarm Zhang's mother. I entered the restaurant in the dark, walked against the wall, and soon found the wine cabinet. When you open it, you can see that there are rows of glass bottles inside. She remembered that there were candles and fires nearby. I fumbled around and found it, and lit a candle to check it.
All kinds of foreign wines are in good condition, only a crystal belly wine vessel, there is a light layer of amber wine. She opened it and sniffed it, it was brandy.
"That's it, right?" Jingyi took the cup and asked. Looking to the side, the white lion was gone. "White Lion?" She cried softly. I couldn't hear the white lion's snorting and panting, and I didn't know where to lie on my stomach.
She poured a glass of wine and sat down.
The candlestick was placed on the dining table, with a slight warm light, and the rim of the wine glass was reflected by the candle flame, shining.
She took a small sip, and the wine was not strong.
As he was drinking, he looked up and saw a picture hanging above the fireplace...... She swallowed a large mouthful of brandy. Looking at this photo in the dark shadow, he couldn't even see the faces of the two people in the photo. She poured another glass of wine and came out, and saw that there was only one glass left, so she drank it all.
She gradually felt that she was a little drunk, and there was a rumbling thunder in her ears, which became louder and louder.
I knew in my heart that it was not thunder, but an explosion experienced during the day.
She thought she wasn't afraid......
Tao Xiang entered the door and saw Jing Yi lying on the dining table, with empty wine bottles and overturned wine glasses in front of her. She wore only a thin silk shirt, and the black golden phoenix embroidered on the placket was a little enchanting in the faint light. She didn't move, and she didn't know how long she had been sleeping here...... He came over and lifted the glass up.
