Chapter 5: The Abyss of Depth and Shallowness (3)
Dunhuang calmed himself down. He calmed down and went to treat Duan Feng's wound first. In the end, relying on his limited methods, he gave Duan Feng an injection.
Feng Xian closed his eyes tightly after bandaging, the sweat on his forehead rolled down, and Xiao Dunhuang wiped the sweat for him and let him lie down. He sat down and looked through the contents of the suitcase that the woman had left behind. Pick up a book, and on the title page is her name, Jingyi.
Quiet ripples are quiet ripples......
"I wonder what the fate of her being brought home will be?" Dunhuang muttered to himself.
"Of course, it's to marry into the Tao family." Duan Fengxian closed his eyes tightly and said.
"The Tao family? Who? Dunhuang was shocked.
"Tao Xiang. There are a few living gentlemen in the Tao family, isn't he the only one left who is not married? The two families have long had a marriage contract. If you run away from marriage and get caught, what will happen? Duan Feng opened his eyes first, his eyes empty. Just these few words, he said slowly. Then I gasped for a long time before I recovered.
"Tao Si's seventh brother? Tao Xiang? Dunhuang asked again. It seems to be determined something.
Duan Feng nodded first.
"I know him. Tao Si this time, did he let you go? Xiao Dunhuang asked again.
Duan Feng shook his shoulders first. You may have lost too much blood and have cold. When he found out, he put a coat on him, and listened to him: "Otherwise, what about his seventh brother's fiancΓ©e who escaped from marriage, and do you want his adjutant to go out in person?" Besides, what kind of family is the Cheng family...... The Cheng family can't deal with this kind of family ugliness by themselves, or can't the Cheng family catch their own daughter? β
He was silent for a long time and said, "Let's get off at the next stop." When the time comes, hire a carriage to take the trail. β
He continued to look at Cheng Jingyi's book.
Or do I wonder what will happen to this brave schoolgirl?
When the muzzle is pointed at him, there is really a kind of loneliness.
And his eyes were black, and at that moment, he almost softened his heart to put down the gun.
and the rouge mole on her forehead, as if it would tell her emotions......
The book of English poetry in my hand, with a brown sheepskin cover and a gilded font on the book, is very beautiful.
A delicate bookmark, sandwiched between a collection of poems.
He looked at it, and the place where the bookmark was placed was "Ode to the West Wind......
The train whistled and whined, like a mountain and a tsunami.
The sound of clear springs.
Across the stone floor, the spring water gurgled and flowed.
Jingyi moved her arm with difficulty.
This little pull made her tremble in pain.
She opened her eyes, and a thin light in front of her looked like a golden leaf, only a few inches away from her...... She touched the gold leaf with her fingers, and the pain in her body became more and more intense, and she couldn't help coughing.
The damp and cold gas burrowed into her throat, irritating her to cough even harder. His cheeks rubbed against the slippery slate, and the straw hurt.
"Miss! ......"The voice was weaker than the light in front of me, and it was a little out of tune.
But Jingyi could hear that it was Cuixi.
She closed her eyes.
It seems that this little pull will make every part of the body hurt...... It doesn't seem to be normal. She's hurt, yes, but not all over her body, why does she hurt everywhere? The mouth is also dry.
Hearing the spring flowing under the stone slabs, she felt a longing to go down and soak in the clear spring...... Spring, spring, she's locked up in Kanyuan. "Miss...... Miss, I'm Cui Xi...... "Cui Xi outside the door seemed to be talking on the crack of the door, and her voice changed.
But she is indeed Trixi.
Only Qiao's mother, Cui Xi and her girl Qiu Wei, who brought her up, will call her "Miss". Unlike others, they all call her "Miss Ten". Qiu Wei ...... Where is Qiu Wei locked up?
That girl is also stubborn. When she was beaten, she didn't know how to break in, and she lay on top of her and beat her several times...... Stupid. No wonder Qiao's mother said that if there is a master, there is a girl.
Jingyi wanted to move, but he couldn't.
I just lay there anyway. It's not that she can't make a sound, it's just that Cui Xi is here, what is the situation? She couldn't figure it out.
She gritted her teeth.
This time, she couldn't compromise.
Outside the door, Cui Xi screamed a few more times, and seeing that there was no movement inside, she anxiously opened the door, and didn't dare to shout loudly, just lowered her voice and asked the person next to her: "Sibao, is it here?" You open the door and let me in. β
Sibao looked at Cui Xi, pointed to the lock on the door, and said, "My good sister, look at it, you have used such a lock, right now, do you say that there are still others in this level?" It's Miss Ten. I won't coax you. β
There is a small lock on the door.
The important thing is not the size of the lock, but the lines on the lock: the long brass lock, carved with auspicious clouds and peony flowers, is the Cheng family specially used to lock the lock of the inner courtyard door of the female dependent, the level is relatively high. To open such a lock, at least three keys must be opened at the same time.
Cui Xi sighed.
I looked at the damp environment.
There were kerosene lamps hanging on the walls, and in the wide space, the light of beans, bright and dark, was swallowed up by dampness and gloom...... It's cold.
Cui Xi shuddered.
She has been on an errand in the Cheng family for so many years, and it is the first time she has come to this dungeon.
The Kan Yuan is dedicated to the subordinates who do not obey discipline.
The Cheng family's family rules are very strict, and although the masters do not often use lynching, the rules are extremely strict. The next person made a mistake and was imprisoned in a dungeon, and it will not be once in a few years. Once he set an example, it was enough to make people afraid for a long time. But the masters made mistakes, especially the young ladies and young masters, and they were locked up in the darkroom in the backyard for a few hours at most...... The dungeon of this Qingyuan is deeper and quieter than the old mansion of the Cheng family. has been locked up here for several days, how can Miss Ten stand it.
Cui Xi was very sad in her heart.
She looked around, the bluestone slabs were neatly built, and they were damp, but she couldn't see anything strange.
"Sister Cuixi, since Miss Ten didn't respond. You'd better go quickly. I'm afraid it's not good to delay for a long time. "The Four Treasures urged.
Tricy glanced at him.
Sibao is now looking specifically at this courtyard. Nominally, it is to look at the courtyard, but in fact it is to look at the "prisoners". Sibao's father Bao Ye has a somewhat transcendent status among the Cheng family's subordinates. He almost never walked around with the other subordinates. In addition to patrolling and watching at night, he doesn't often show up. More or less, Bao Ye is a little scary. It's just that Cui Xi and Sibao have a little kiss and can talk.
Cui Xi thought of this, and her heart moved.
She approached the crack in the door, held the tin door with her hand, and said inside, "Miss, Miss, please take care." The eldest lady said...... The eldest lady said that she begged the master again...... Miss, Cui Xi doesn't like what she said, and the hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him. Miss, you promise the master, let's go out first to raise ......" Cui Xi seemed to hear footsteps, she paused, and said hurriedly: "Miss, you must take care." Wife...... Miss, you don't think about yourself, you think about your wife...... Don't think about it! Eat a little bit...... Mrs. ...... these days"
"Sister Cuixi, someone is here!" Sibao shouted hurriedly.
Cui Xi turned to look back, the figure at the entrance swayed, her heart tightened, almost raised her throat, grabbed the handkerchief in her palm, and looked at the dark stone steps, first two glass lamps appeared, and the footsteps gradually became louder...... Cui Xi wanted to hide, but it was too late, and there was really nowhere to hide, so she simply stood on the spot and didn't move.
Sibao was beside Cui Xi, but he seemed more calm than Cui Xi, he raised his eyes to see the person who came clearly, took a step forward, hit a thousand children, and said, "Si Bao to the Ninth Young Master to say goodbye." β
Cui Xi saw that it was the Ninth Young Master Cheng Zhishen, but she breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Zhishen was followed by his two long-term followers, Cheng Xi and Cheng Yi, as well as the father of the four treasures, Bao Dachang. Several people had straight faces, without any expression.
Cheng Zhishen was more relaxed, and said softly: "The four treasures are also here, get up." His voice was crooked, his eyes were hooked, and he glanced at Cuixi, who was going down and couldn't move. Yo, who is this? β
Cui Xi maintained that posture and said softly, "Cui Xi has seen the Ninth Young Master. β
"It's really Sister Cuixi, it's dark here, I almost didn't recognize it." Cheng Zhi looked at Cui Xi cautiously. Sure enough, it's the girl of Xinglu, stable. He finally chuckled, "You're also coming to see the tenth sister?" β
Cui Xi didn't respond, and lowered her head to listen to the Ninth Young Master's question.
"Let's go back first. Tell Aunt Wei well, don't let her worry. Zhi Shen said.
Cui Xi still didn't say anything, raised her eyes to see Zhi Shen, saw Zhi Shen nodded at her slightly, she gave a light salute, took two steps back, and went down. When she left the basement, Cheng Zhishen was still standing there.
Cheng Yi behind Cheng Zhishen said in a low voice: "The master asked, there was no answer, the people around the second wife should not be like this......"
"The people of Xinglu are naturally different from other places. You know what. Cheng Zhishen reprimanded Cheng Yi. Cheng Yi smiled. Cheng Xi said the truth at this time: "Can the people on the second wife's side still take care of etiquette now?" Zhishen listened and rolled his eyes, "Master Bao." β
Bao Dachang bowed down and said, "Ninth Young Master." β
"My father told me to come and see the tenth sister." Cheng Zhishen said gently. He should have some respect for Bao Ye.
Bao Dachang said "yes", his body bowed slightly, and the key on his waist rattled, but the person did not move an inch.
Cheng Zhishen took out two keys from his sleeve and said with a smile: "Then ask Bao Ye to open the lock?" After seeing the tenth sister, I went back to my father as soon as possible. He jingled the key in his hand.
"Ninth Young Master, this is not in accordance with the rules, right?" Bao Dachang's face was tight, a pair of tiger eyes turned up slightly, and he was unmoved by the cautious and smiling autumn water-like gaze of Shangcheng Zhi.
