Chapter 36: Lantern Alley
"Brother Yun is polite, call me Xiao Yu, Xiao grew up with the third prince since he was a child, he knows his personality very well, and when he finds the family of the Guogong Mansion, he will find out the cause of Yao Lao's death as soon as possible, naturally, I will also contribute to find out about this matter as soon as possible."
Wanghai County was not captured, Qingchengzhou was raided by the Red Turban Army, the ancestral house of the Guogong Mansion was empty, and the piles seemed to indicate that the uprising of the Nangong clan would not be so smooth, "I wonder if I can ask Brother Yun and Miss Jin about it?" ”
"Brother Xiao, please say, as long as the truth of the master's death can be revealed, Yun is willing to listen to you." The master adopted him since he was a child, and treated him like a mountain, and he followed the master longer than the second junior brother and the younger sister, and he had long treated the master as his father in his heart.
"Brother Yun is serious, my mother has always been in poor health, send her back to my uncle's house, Xiao needs to rush back to the third son as soon as possible, so I want to entrust Brother Yun and Miss Jin, if it is convenient, can you help take care of your mother's safety?"
These two people are both senior apprentices of the medicine elder, and they must have nothing to say about their medical skills, so say hello in advance, once the mother is in need, or if something happens in Liyang County, someone will help take care of the Chai family.
"Brother Xiao entrusted me, Yun agreed." Renji Pharmacy is located in Xicheng, Liyang County, and it is not a problem to take care of Mrs. Xiao.
After this incident, the two talked and laughed all the way, and the distance was shortened a lot, and there was even a faint feeling of being a confidant who hated to see each other late.
When the sun set, the carriage smoothly entered Liyang County, the soldiers guarding the west city gate increased a lot, everyone who entered the city had to go through a detailed interrogation and inspection, there were women and young ladies in the carriage of Yingle's house, and there were young adults next to them, pretending to be a family to return to their hometown to visit relatives, and entered the city smoothly without accidents.
The carriage drove on the empty streets, there was not even a single figure, and it was several times more deserted than in the morning.
All kinds of small business vendors walked around shouting, playful children chasing the old man who sold sugar gourds and singing nursery rhymes, or crowded in front of the candy man's stall clapping and cheering, I don't know how lively and vivid, now these are all gone.
"Senior sister," Yun Chuche tightened the reins of the horse and stopped, calling through the curtain of the car, after Yingle heard it, he hurriedly lifted the curtain, "Senior brother, the situation in the city is unknown, I want to go to Luping Academy to find my little uncle first." ”
Qingchengzhou has been lost, the Red Turban Army is cruel to killing, I don't know when it will hit Liyang County, the Nangong family is too busy to take care of themselves, and they have no energy to take care of the safety of the people, she must find a way to save herself and keep her family safe.
"Senior sister rest assured, I'll go back to Renji Pharmacy to meet the second senior brother, and when you and Jin Xiucai come back, let's solemnly handle the master's funeral together." Chong Xiaoyu hugged his fists and saluted, said goodbye, and Yun Chuche rode his horse straight to Xicheng.
"Miss Jin, I'm just going to Dongcheng, and Miss Lao will give us another ride."
My grandfather's family lived in Dongcheng Lantern Hutong, because many people in the neighborhood were good at making lanterns, and they were very famous in the whole of Liyang County.
Uncle Chai Shanzhong repeatedly entered Beijing to participate in the examination, but did not pass the Jinshi, and when he got older, he completely accepted his mind and went to Luping Academy in the eastern suburbs to be a teacher, so that he could not only get a decent errand, but also take care of the family nearby, which is also the best of both worlds.
The carriage roared forward, heading towards Dongcheng, Renji Pharmacy and Luping Academy are one west and one east, just opposite the direction, Yingle is at the speed of the senior brother, and he should have returned to the pharmacy at this time, and saw the second senior brother and Xiao Jingyu.
was different from Yingle's expectation, at this moment, Yun Chuche, who was riding back to Renji Pharmacy, was almost crazy, "Second junior brother, Jingyu, come out, don't scare senior brother?" ”
As for the people, where have they gone, from the pharmacy in the front yard, the consultation room to the living quarters in the inner courtyard, all the places have been searched, there is no one in the figure, and the guys who help in the pharmacy are gone.
The medicine cabinet was turned into a mess, all the valuable medicinal materials were gone, the bedrooms where the inner courtyard lived every day, and the master's study were all wantonly looted, and the slightly valuable ornaments and utensils were all swept away.
"Ahh Yun Chuche screamed and knelt down in front of the coffin in the hall, who would tell him what happened, "Master, the apprentice is not filial, he failed to take care of Jingyu, he was taken away by thieves, but don't worry, even if I look all over the world, I must bring the little junior brother home intact." ”
At the same time, Yingle's carriage was getting farther and farther away from the West City Gate, and none of the soldiers guarding the city gate could be seen, and pedestrians began to appear on the road, but all of them looked frightened, and some of them were still tearful.
Yingle endured the uneasiness in his heart and told Uncle Kui to speed up the car, what had obviously happened to these people, but now was not the time to satisfy their curiosity, and it was the most important thing to receive the little uncle back to the village together.
A noisy voice came from the houses next to the street, "Dad, help me, help." ”
