Chapter 573: Old Woman
The carriage drove quickly, treading on the wet dirt and rubbing against the weeds on the side of the road.
Liu Qingfeng took the report in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Bo Sang plans to hide in a crowded place, the village roads are numerous and tortuous, let's disguise." ”
Jiang Yingxue felt reasonable, presumably Bosang had already been prepared, and said softly: "Let's change into the clothes of the peasant family, and wait to get out of the car to search, we must not let Bosang hurt Yongle." ”
Liu Qingfeng took out his clothes from the carriage, the two changed in the farmhouse, and said to the friendly lady: "Excuse me, I don't know if there have been strangers in the village recently." ”
The eldest lady was weaving a bamboo basket, looked up and thought about it and said, "There are people in the village, a couple, but they don't go out much, and they usually don't see them. ”
After speaking, he continued to weave with his hands, and a basket soon took shape, and many peasant women relied on this to subsidize their families.
Hearing this, both of them were stunned, wondering if there was a mistake in the news. Jiang Yingxue also knew Bo Sang, and asked the eldest lady: "How does that woman look, my former friend eloped from home, and we are here to find and help them." ”
The eldest lady felt that she was careful, and her impression of Jiang Yingxue was not bad, her eyes lit up after hearing this, and she said excitedly: "The eight achievements are yes, that girl came to the village dirty, and the next day I took care of it and found that she was a beauty, and she was not the same as us at first glance." However, her father-in-law looks average and often goes out. ”
These women know the latest things in the village best, and their gossip will always carry the truth and the false.
Jiang Yingxue's eyes lit up, she took out a hairpin and handed it to her, and smiled at the eldest lady: "That's my friend, we don't plan to disturb them, don't leak the secret first." ”
The eldest lady looked at the golden hairpin in front of her, with surprise in her eyes, the golden hairpin was dotted with a few small gems, she slowly stretched out her hand, and said incredulously: "Girl, this is too precious, I have never seen such a beautiful hairpin as a rough man." ”
I wanted to reward some silver taels, but I didn't bring it out, so I could only use the hairpin on my head. Jiang Yingxue put the hairpin in her hand and said with a light smile: "Since the eldest lady likes it, take it, and it can be regarded as thank you for letting me find them, so we will leave first." ”
The eldest lady nodded solemnly, hid the hairpins, opened the gate of the yard for them, and whispered: "The couple is on the left side of this street, there are many hunters in the village, and there is a danger nearby, so the girl should be careful." ”
Jiang Yingxue said goodbye to her, followed her guidance to a house, and looked at a carriage in front of the door, which was roughly the same as described by passers-by.
Liu Qingfeng looked at her, gently took her jade hand, and saw that no one around was suspicious, and said in a low voice: "Let's go investigate first, follow me." ”
Before Jiang Yingxue could react, Liu Qingfeng hugged her thin waist, jumped on the eaves, flew to the top of the main house, and listened below.
I saw an old woman come out of the house, take the child's clothes and hang them on the hanger, and murmured: "This child is really strange, he has been asleep and has not woken up, he should find a doctor to take a look, but ......"
The old woman sighed softly, turned to see that the door was still locked, and walked quickly into the house.
Jiang Yingxue's eyes widened, her eyes were slightly red, she pointed to the clothes that were drying, and said in a trembling voice: "That's Yongle's clothes, I dressed her well, she is here, let's go and take her away." ”
She was emotional, staring at Liu Qingfeng's handsome face, tugging at his clothes and saying, looking at the ground.
Isn't Bossan here? It's strange to only see Yongle's clothes. Liu Qingfeng frowned, straightened her up, and asked solemnly: "The clothes may be right, but is it really Yongle in the house?" Didn't hear anything, I'll go around and check around, you're waiting here. ”
Since Bosan had made such a crazy move, he would not have made a low-level mistake at this juncture.
This dress may be the bait for the lure.
Jiang Yingxue's suppressed emotions exploded, looked at the crumpled clothes on the hanger, and explained to him vigorously: "Yongle is inside, I personally put it on for her, maybe it was Bo Sang who poisoned her, so that Yongle fell asleep." ”
Why didn't he believe in himself, even if it was one in ten thousand, she would break in.
Hearing this, Liu Qingfeng held his forehead, his eyes were deep, his thin lips pursed slightly, and he said after a while: "Jiang Yingxue, this is an obvious trap, she knows that you are not calm now, take out Yongle's clothes and stimulate it, and you will go obediently." ”
Right now, Jiang Yingxue is Bo Sang's real goal, why doesn't she understand her hard work.
Under the condition of ensuring her safety, it is right to save Yongle again.
This kind of Jiang Yingxue made him a little irritable.
He saw that the bamboo pole under him had traces of movement, and he was even more convinced in his heart, in the face of Jiang Yingxue's anxiety, a trace of irritability crossed his eyes, and he took a deep breath and said: "Your safety is the first, let's go down first." ”
Seeing that she did not reply, he reached out and wanted to carry her back from under the roof.
Jiang Yingxue shook off his hand, raised her head with tears on her face, her eyes were still firm, she took a step back, and asked sharply: "Liu Qingfeng, are you not in a hurry at all, Yongle is just a child, what if that medicine is not good for her, I will go and take her back." ”
Along the way, she imagined too many situations, and panic took over her whole body, and she really couldn't wait to learn that Yongle was most likely in the house.
Jiang Yingxue couldn't accept that Yongle was hurt, she was frightened, blamed herself, and regretted.
The questioning voice made the old woman come out, Liu Qingfeng covered her mouth, with anger in her eyes, regardless of Jiang Yingxue's struggle, and took her back to the street side of the house.
Liu Qingfeng had shoe prints on his body, he was kicked by Jiang Yingxue when he was struggling, his face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Aren't you in a hurry when I'm not in a hurry?" I'll bring Yongle back, you go back first. ”
After speaking, he ignored Jiang Yingxue's obstruction and left in a flash, and immediately disappeared into the street.
Jiang Yingxue looked at it in a daze, slowly withdrew her outstretched hand, tears crossed her cheeks and dripped down her heart, as if it could be brewed into bitter wine.
She leaned against the wall and wiped her tears, the missing corner of her heart was constantly throbbing, and the suffocation in her chest swept away, Jiang Yingxue slowly stood up straight, raised her head and muttered: "Liu Qingfeng He will definitely not be safe alone, I have to persist and find Yongle, no matter what, I have to make my words clear." ”
Just now, she was in a hurry, and she lost her temper, and she had to chase Liu Qingfeng back.
Jiang Yingxue made up her mind, and immediately went around the house and found that there was a back door, and observed that it was not locked, so she gently pushed the back door open.
Jiang Yingxue paid careful attention, walked through a room, and found three pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, walked in slowly, and felt that there was still residual warmth on the edge of the bowl, and the porridge inside was warm and cold.
Jiang Yingxue heard the footsteps and immediately hid behind the door of the room, silently observing.
Through the crack in the door, I saw the old woman tidying up the dishes and chopsticks, beating her back casually, and whispered: "Everyone is gone, but I left a bunch of work for my wife, and I will clean up the whole house alone, really." ”
Slowly scolding and walking out, Jiang Yingxue gently pushed open the door, and saw the old woman washing the dishes and chopsticks on the side, so she walked to the house under the cover of potted plants.
The old woman splashed the dirty water into the drain of the back door, glanced at the lock of the back door, the corners of her mouth rose, and she walked to the door and said in a whisper: "This back door has forgotten to lock, and this memory is really getting worse and worse." ”
The old woman put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, a trace of ruthlessness crossed her eyes, she came out of the kitchen, held a bowl of water, and said to herself suspiciously: "Try to give the child some water to drink, I will definitely ask for clarification when the master comes back, it is really scary to go on like this." ”
Jiang Yingxue had to continue to hide next to the potted plant, and when she saw a pair of gray and black embroidered shoes stepping into the house, she whispered: "Yongle must have been in a coma for a while, don't mess around with this old woman." ”
Worried that the old woman would come out at any time, Jiang Yingxue kept hiding, gradually her feet were numb, and she frowned.
"Squeak", the door was opened, the old woman looked frightened, kept pacing in the yard and said: "This child can't even feed water, I should find a doctor to take a look, but the master is not here, it really makes me in a dilemma." ”
The old woman looked at the potted plant faintly, took out her purse from her arms, found that there were only a few pennies, and said with a sigh: "It seems that I can't help the child, and the maid I recruited before didn't come, I really don't have the skills." ”
Jiang Yingxue looked at the house close at hand, and when the old woman went out to pack her clothes, she walked to the door and found that there was a small lock on it.
I remember that every time the old woman would ink for a while, it turned out to be locked.
A thin layer of sweat broke out in his hands, and he couldn't bear to leave in front of the door, and a thought came to his heart, but he felt that it was too much of a coincidence, and he was about to turn around and leave.
The old woman walked out of the house, and when she saw Jiang Yingxue in a cloth dress, she walked to her side with a smile, took her soft hand and said, "You are the new maidservant, you came in time, I am almost too busy." ”
This hand is really delicate and soft, not as rough as hers.
Jiang Yingxue was obviously stunned, a Yongle smile appeared in her mind, she gritted her teeth and nodded, and said with a light smile: "Yes, mother-in-law, it's late today." ”
The old woman nodded kindly, let go of her hand, a trace of fierceness crossed her eyes, and took out a bunch of keys, and the "ding" keys made a crisp sound.
Jiang Yingxue caught her fierce light, her heart was cold, she realized that something was wrong, and immediately stepped back, constantly thinking about a way.
The old woman took out a key from it, opened the door, pushed Jiang Yingxue inside, and said nervously: "Let's go in first, help me take care of this child, I'm really worried about her situation." ”
The strength of this old woman was amazing, forcing Jiang Yingxue to look into the room and find that it was a cell at all, and the table was covered with torture instruments.
Liu Qingfeng's cold voice surrounded her ears, and she suddenly realized that all this was waiting for her to take the bait.
Losing the trace of Yongle, she was in a mess and tried everywhere, and Bosang specially designed such traps.
But where is Yongle? Jiang Yingxue was full of departure, pushed the old woman out, turned around and ran to the back door, and said in her heart: As long as you escape, the back door is not locked.
The old woman got up from the ground, quickly followed behind her, and said with a sharp smile: "You can't run out, the back door has been locked by me." ”
