The Beginning of Troubled Times Chapter 39 Night Talk
"Who?" Yuan stumbling blinked his eyes and ate another shrimp.
As soon as the words fell, a maid suddenly walked into the room, gave a salute to Yuan Yuxin's side, and slowly withdrew.
Lou Qi and Su Jingchen were still admiring the luxury of Yuan Yuxin's mansion, and when they saw the people sitting in the room, they suddenly stopped talking.
"Sit down," Yuan Yuxin said coldly, and didn't turn his head to look at the two of them.
Lou Qi and Su Jingchen cautiously took two steps forward, and were about to sit down, when Yuan Yuxin suddenly spoke again, "Wait!" You can sit, you kid stand for me! Yuan Yuxin first pointed at Su Jingchen, and then pointed at Lou Qi.
This roar startled both of them, and Su Jingchen stood tremblingly beside Lou Qi, and didn't dare to sit down.
"It's okay, you can sit." Yuan Yuxin turned his head to look at Su Jingchen, and his tone softened a little.
Su was shocked, and went up to sit down, but he just sitted, and said in his heart Why is this old man so strange, Lou Qi came back with him, but asked Lou Qi to stand, he was just Lou Qi's friend, and he had never met him, and he let himself sit down.
Yuan Yuxin glanced at Yuan Yuxin, "Dad, what are you doing here?" ”
"What? What else can you do, Xingshi asks for sin. Yuan Yuxin said angrily.
Su Jingchen looked puzzled.
Yu Yu looked puzzled.
Steward Ma also looked puzzled.
It was Lou Qi and Yuan who were stumbling, and judging from their expressions, it seemed that they were ...... What happened?
"Dad, nothing really happened to us." Yuan Fei said angrily, usually as soon as she showed this expression, Yuan Yuxin had to coax her with a flattering look.
But Yuan Yuxin still pulled an old face, stared at Lou Qi, and gave Lou Qi goosebumps all over his body.
"Daddy!" Yuan Tripping called him again.
Yuan Yuxin was silent for a long time, sighed, and finally said, "Okay, okay, eat." ”
Su Jingchen didn't dare to move the chopsticks, he didn't even dare to serve the bowl, and Lou Qi still stood in place, looking a little restrained.
"Alright, sit down and eat." Yuan Yuxin sighed again.
The meal was eaten quietly like this, Su Jingchen was very regular, rarely picked up vegetables, and occasionally moved chopsticks only in the bowl in front of him, and the horse steward who watched it was a little distressed, "You kid, so thin, don't eat vegetables." Then he gave Su Jingchen a few large chopsticks and dishes, and piled up a small mountain in Su Jingchen's bowl.
Lou Qi has been eating with his head down, he doesn't even dare to pick up the dishes, he usually eats at least a few big bowls, and tonight he also ate a small bowl of rice for a long time, not because he can't eat it, but because he is afraid that he will finish eating, he only dares to look at the dishes on the table and drool.
Yu Yu also ate a little restrained, thinking that he still felt a little guilty in his heart.
As for Steward Ma and Yuan Yuxin, what they usually look like is what they look like at tonight's dinner table.
Yuan Tripping Heart is not afraid of seeing people, and eats more than usual, thinking that he is really a little hungry.
After the meal, Su Jingchen still wanted to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but was stopped by Steward Ma, saying that these things would naturally be done by the maids of the family, probably because he felt that Su Jingchen was very similar to himself when he was young, so Steward Ma said that he would take Su Jingchen around the house, and by the way, he would talk to him.
Yuan Tripping Heart seemed to be a little unfinished, and wanted to take Yu Yu to eat the whole street to buy some more food, but Yuan Yuxin drank it, saying that it was a drink, but in fact, it was just a little heavier than the usual tone, and Yuan Tripping Heart had no choice but to give up.
Yuan Yuxin turned his head again and said directly to Lou Qi, "Come with me." So he went out on his own, and Lou Qi saw this and hurriedly followed.
Yuan Yuxin took Lou to a secluded place, didn't look at him, looked at the fine snow outside the eaves, and said with his hands behind his back, "Say, why do you know that my daughter is in that cave, why do you want to look for it...... Save her. ”
Lou Qi scratched his head, brewed in his mind for a long time, and then came up with a lame excuse, saying, "Actually...... In fact, it is also passing by. ”
"Give you another chance." Yuan Yuxin said coldly.
Lou Qi sighed, and pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke, "I calculated it, when the girl who had been with your daughter in your house arrived at the gate of the city that day, I was also present, and I probably calculated the words I heard from her mouth, and I knew the approximate location, so I set off to find it first." ”
"Then you know, why didn't you tell me? Wouldn't I be able to find it sooner if I sent some men? Yuan Yuxin's face was a little displeased.
"I'm afraid there are bandits among the people you're looking for." Lou Qi is straightforward.
Yuan Yuxin didn't speak, but he acquiesced to his statement.
"When I was a child, I often went to play around the village, and I liked to find those caves to explore, and I knew the location of most of the caves around Huaiyang, and I went to the place where your daughter was most likely to be in the cave, and the first few were not, and I didn't find your daughter until the last one."
"Are those caves close?" Yuan Yuxin suddenly asked.
"Each cave is only three or four miles away, and seven or eight miles away." Lou Qi said thoughtlessly.
Yuan Yuxin was a little surprised in his heart, is this young man's foot strength so outstanding?
"All you were looking for all night?" Yuan Yuxin asked again.
"Hmm." Lou Qi agreed softly.
Yuan Yuxin's good impression of this young man has improved slightly, he didn't deliberately come to him to ask for credit, it seems that he is an honest man, but it is limited to the level of being an honest person, and he can't do it anymore.
"And what's up with my daughter's clothes?" Yuan Yuxin's tone was a little colder than before, and now this young man named Lou Qi, as long as he answers a wrong word, Yuan Yuxin may kill him, without mercy, after all, it is about his daughter.
"That's it...... That's it," Lou Qi suddenly got up embarrassed, as if he remembered the scene in the cave again, and his face was a little red, "When I got to the cave, I saw some messy footprints on the road, one of them was halfway and turned back, shuttled through the forest for a while, and appeared at the mouth of the cave again, I ran all the way up the cave, that person...... That man was tearing your daughter's clothes, and then I got tangled with him for a while, and I knocked him unconscious with a punch, and he stabbed me too. Lou Qi pointed to his shoulder, the clothes there were torn, they had already been soaked in blood, and he was stunned in his mouth, in fact, he thought it was just a knockout, but he didn't expect that his punch was almost ten strong, and he had already punched the obscene man called Zhang Monkey to death.
Yuan Yuxin still didn't speak, and the way he held his hands behind his back made Lou Qi a little scared.
"Really, I don't believe you to ask your daughter!" Lou Qi said loudly, raising three fingers, looking like if I lied to you, I would hit five thunderbolts in the sky.
"Okay, I believe you, it's just that man, what does it look like?" Yuan Yuxin said coldly, and killing intent suddenly surged in his heart, which dog is it. The mother's bastard actually dared to touch my daughter, he had already made a decision in his heart, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he would find that man and cut him alive with a knife.
"Very thin, long and brute...... Lewd, like monkeys. Lou Qi replied with a fifteen-ten, feeling a little relieved, and then there was a sudden pain on his buttocks, and then the whole person flew into the courtyard.
Yuan Yuxin suddenly kicked him into the yard again, and said angrily after eating a mouthful of snow, "But I still want to kick you." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, Lou Qi smiled, and quickly stood up, but sighed softly, there are some words, still can't be said.
Steward Ma took Su Jingchen to finish shopping around the original mansion, and returned to the place where he had eaten before, and said to Su Jingchen with a sincere face that if he can't find a job in the future, he can come to the original mansion, not to mention the rest, he can be a steward anyway, Su Jingchen smiled and said that if there is no way out in the future, he will definitely come.
Steward Ma has a very good impression of this young man named Su Jingchen, can observe words and feelings, is also practical and capable, willing to endure hardships, I don't know how many times better than those fake and serious delicate sons in Huaiyang City, if he has a daughter, he has to match them for anything.
However, Su Jingchen was a little embarrassed, was this old man who was over half a hundred years old too enthusiastic.
At this time, Yuan Yuxin also returned here, followed by Lou Qi, who still had a smile on his face.
"Is your home close to here?" Yuan Yuxin asked, but he still had a straight face and a cold tone.
"It's not too far, it's in Aquarius Lane." Su Jingchen replied.
"That's okay, then you can go back, I won't send you anymore." Yuan Xiangxin waved his sleeves, turned around and left.
Steward Ma wanted to keep them, but he opened his mouth but didn't say anything, but just sent them outside the gate of the original mansion, and when he closed the door, Yuan Yuxin suddenly appeared behind them again.
"Master, but what else do you need me to do?" Steward Ma asked.
"Send a few good guards from the house to follow them quietly, wait for them to get to their residences, and then stay there secretly for a few more days."
"Could it be that these two young people ......" Steward Ma broke out in a cold sweat, could the young man he valued very much before be the bandit who kidnapped the young lady?
"No," Yuan Yuxin waved his hand and said seriously, "The young man who went to the garden with you should have just experienced a vicious battle before meeting me today, I want to send a few people to secretly protect them, but the benefactor who rescued my daughter is not?" ”
"That's right." Steward Ma patted his head, "Without further ado, I'll do it now!" ”
"Well, go ahead." Yuan Yuxin agreed, looking up at the heavy clouds in the sky, but there was no trace of light.
That night, a few people came to the cave where Yuan Tripping Heart was arrested, and they looked at the person who "fainted" motionless, and were curious about who had such strength, and a punch could knock people out until now they couldn't wake up, and the person in the lead went up and tried Zhang Monkey's snort, and his face changed, the man who "fainted" had been dead for a long time.
