Chapter 49: Shi Jie
Lancang dew is the treasure of Wei Huai'an's master Mingren Taoist, or Wei Huai'an accidentally found it when he was in Cangyun Peak, when he was punished by the master, he took advantage of the night to secretly go down the mountain, who knew that he accidentally slipped and fell into a cave in the middle of the mountain, the cave is not big, but there is a strange fragrance inside, the fragrance is shengjin, just smell it for a while and be a little intoxicated. He groped for a night, only to find that behind the cave wall was connected to the wine cellar dug by his master, so he chiseled through the wall and took out two cans to take them down the mountain to enjoy it slowly.
Akihito Daoren estimated that he still didn't know that his wine cellar had been dug a hole by his precious apprentice, and what he didn't know was that the Lancang Dew that he had treasured for many years had been pressed out by his apprentice as a bargaining chip.
Wei Huai'an looked at the dark-colored man in front of him, and only felt that he was going to be so angry with him that he vomited blood, and he didn't understand why he knew such a person. Eating the wine and food in front of him with resentment, as if he was chewing the meat of the man in front of him.
And Li Shu seemed to feel the ruthlessness of the man in front of him, and said with a grin that didn't care: "Red Sleeves has already sent three thousand taels of silver to the Lin'an Palace, and one thousand taels are added to say that it is used as the daily expenses of the little prince, since this is the case, please ask the little prince to pay for today's meal." ”
"You!" Wei Huai'an held his heart and turned his face away. He was afraid that if he said another word to Li Shu, he would be angry with Li Shu! It's just that... Why didn't he know that Red Sleeves had sent money to the Lin'an Palace? He turned his head to look at Li Shu and gave him a surprised look.
As if he knew what he meant, Li Shu leisurely took a bite of food and put it in his mouth, and said elegantly: "I sent it yesterday, but I didn't call you because you slept soundly." ”
It is equivalent to saying that he Wei Huaian didn't see so much money and was suddenly filled by Li Shuzhong? Wei Huai'an looked at the food Li Shu ate, just now he thought that Li Shu would invite this meal, so he would choose the most expensive one. Wei Huaian felt that his life was short.
Yan Meng followed Shi Nan to the east of the city and almost arrived at a private house on the outskirts of the city, saying that the private house was actually just two houses made of earth and stone, and the outside was surrounded by a fence made of tree branches of different heights to form a courtyard, and there was no main gate.
Shi Nan took the lead and walked into the courtyard, and before he reached the house, he shouted excitedly into the house: "Brother! Brother, I found someone to help you, brother! Stretching out his hand to push open the creaky wooden door, he entered the room and shook it around, the room was empty, and his original cheerful expression was fixed on his face, he lowered his head and looked at the table and chair that had accumulated a lot of dust, the table, chair and bench were still the same as the appearance he had when he went out that day, and tears welled up in his eyes in an instant, he originally thought that he had not come back for so many days, and his brother must be very anxious, but ...... Shi Nan thought of his brother's eyes that day...... He seems to be really gone......
Shi Nan knew that his brother Shi Jie was being hunted down, that day Shi Jie told Shi Nan that the silver on his body was spent, so he took out his knife and asked Shi Nan to sell it for some silver, Shi Nan took it to the pawnshop, the pawnshop owner gave the price was too low, he felt that his brother's knife had been with him for so long and there was no such low price as the pawnshop owner said, and then he took the knife out of the pawnshop thinking that maybe he could meet a destined person on the road, it was best to cherish his brother's knife, if he could give some money it would be the best, and then he met the "evil young man in the capital" ...... Thinking of this raised hand and saw the wound on his finger, tears finally came out of his eyes. Will he be the only one left in the future? Shi Nan shouted a few times to the roof, "Brother", and kept muttering "I found someone to help you", and in the end he also recognized the fact that his brother had left, and squatted on the ground with his body weak, wrapped his arms around his knees, buried his head in his knees and stopped talking.
Yan Meng followed Shi Nan's steps, and naturally saw Shi Nan's emotional changes just now, and looked inside the room to understand the reason why Shi Nan was so low, but according to her understanding of Shi Jie in her previous life, Shi Jie would not leave his younger brother. In her previous life, when she met Shi Jie, it was already when she entered the palace as a concubine, and that was the reason why Shi Jie followed her, and she also knew that he was to avenge his younger brother, because she and Cui Wenqian did not deal with each other, and Cui Jinwen was Cui Wenqian's brother, and in his previous life, Cui Jinwen fell into the hands of Shi Jie, but he didn't get any good end......
The child in front of him is called Shi Nan again, plus what happened a few days ago, it is not difficult to guess that the child in front of him is Shi Jie's younger brother. Looking at the child who hugged him, the ghost messenger walked up to him and squatted down, whispered to him, and said, "He didn't leave." ”
"What?" Shi Nan raised his head, looked at Yan Meng with teary eyes, felt his tears slip down, wiped his cheeks with his sleeve, and wiped away the tears.
"He didn't leave." Yan Meng said patiently.
"But... But...... He's not ......," Shi Nan choked up, "and... And... It's been a long time since there's been anyone at home......" tears slipped uncontrollably out of his eyes.
"Maybe I'm worried about you, I'm out to find you."
"Really?" Shi Nan looked at Yan Meng in a daze, his eyes shining with hopeful starlight.
Yan Meng was about to answer, not wanting the light in Shi Nan's eyes to go out, and muttered, "No, no, he won't..." If... What if I get caught? As he spoke, his face was full of worry, "I... I'm just one of his relatives......" As if thinking of something, he hurriedly grabbed Yan Meng's arm and said, "You said you would save him, didn't you?" "One
Yan Meng met the look full of expectation, nodded and said, "I will." ”
Shi Nan's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said to Yan Meng: "Yes, he may have gone to find me, I want to clean up the house well, maybe he will come back in a while!" After speaking, he said to Yan Meng with some pity: "Can you wait with me?" "Actually, Shi Nan's request is already very excessive, after all, they have been out for so long, if Yan Meng has not returned, sooner or later they will be discovered by Sixi and them.
Thinking of this, Yan Meng said to him; "You go fetch water to clean the house, let your brother know that you have returned home, and then we will go back to Bairentang, shall we?"
"Okay, then you wait for me here, I'll go fetch water!" After speaking, Shi Nan seemed to be afraid that Yan Meng would regret it, and ran out like a gust of wind.
Yan Meng looked at Shi Nan's back and fell into deep thought, in fact, Yan Meng didn't see Shi Jie today, it was not without regrets in his heart, but this kind of thing still had to be fate. In fact, what she is worried about now is that Shi Jie knows that Shi Nan was injured by Cui Jinwen and went to Cui's house to find Cui Jinwen, but she has not heard any news from the Cui family in the past two days, and if he knew, he would also go to Bairentang to find Shi Nan, so she can't tell where Shi Jie went.
"Who are you?"
Suddenly, a knife was across Yan Meng's neck, and a gloomy male voice came from behind him, Yan Meng's eyebrows jumped, why was he always held a knife to his neck recently?
"Say." Seeing that Yan Meng didn't speak, Shi Jie's knife was closer to her neck again.
"Are you going to let Shi Nan watch the scene of his life-saving benefactor being held by his brother with a knife to his neck?" Yan Meng said coldly.
"You are the fifth lady of the Yan family?"
It seems that he knows about her saving Shi Jie, and it is not difficult for Shi Jie to find out her identity, so he must have been hiding in the dark just now to watch the conversation between himself and Shi Nan. Thinking of this, Yan Meng opened his mouth and said, "Yes." ”
The man's handle was a little loose, but he didn't move away, and said suspiciously, "You... Why did you save him? ”
Yan Meng rolled his eyes inwardly, the feeling of being treated as a bad guy after saving people is really uncomfortable. Thinking of this, he said coldly: "Because he was dying at that time!" ”
Shi Jie was speechless, and put down his knife a little dejectedly.
Yan Meng turned around and looked at him coldly: "So you treat your brother's life-saver like this?" ”
Shi Jie looked at Yan Meng with complicated eyes, Yan Meng was not to be outdone, and finally Shi Jie opened his mouth and said to Yan Meng: "I have offended a lot, please don't worry about Miss Yan Wu, and thank Miss Wu for saving her life in the next generation." ”
"Don't thank me, I'm not kind." Yan Meng said coldly.
When Shi Jie heard this, he immediately looked at Yan Meng with sharp eyes, as if there was ice in his eyes.
"Brother!" I only heard Shi Nan's voice coming from behind me, and ran to Shi Kai in an instant, but when I felt that I was going to hug Shi Kai in the next second, I stopped my steps, stood still in front of Shi Jie, held the corners of my clothes with both hands, and looked at Shi Kai with a sparkling gaze and smiled: "I knew you didn't leave!" Sweeping away the image of the crying bag just now, it seems that the fragile little crying bag just now is just Yan Meng's conjecture for a while.
After speaking, Shi Nan hurriedly introduced Yan Meng to Shi Jie: "She said that she would help you clear your name!" Brother, you don't have to hide in Tibet in the future! ”
Shi Nan looked at Shi Jie with great interest, but he was a little shrunken by that pair of eyes full of complexity, he shrunk his neck, lowered his head and stopped talking, and pinched the corners of his clothes with both hands like a child who had done something wrong.
Shi Jie sneered, Tie blushed, and said coldly: "But what is the use of being injured by someone on a trip?" ”
Shi Nan felt his brother's cold gaze, and almost buried his head on the ground, and muttered in a low voice, "Yes... It's because..."Knowing that my brother wouldn't listen to his explanation, he turned his head and said, "Yes... I'm sorry..."
"You go out first, and I'll talk to your brother, okay?" Yan Meng said softly to Shi Nan, she also understood why Shi Nan behaved just now, originally she only knew that Shi Jie cared about his younger brother very much, but she never knew that Shi Nan and Shi Jie's two brothers got along like this.
Shi Nan glanced at Yan Meng pitifully, and then cautiously glanced at his black-faced brother, thinking that the woman in front of him should discuss with his brother how to help his brother clear his suspicion, so he turned around and walked out.
Only Yan Meng and Shi Jie were left in the room.
