Chapter 243: Great ups and downs, great sorrows and great joys

The daughter of the Zhuang family was born inferior to the son, and when she was not married, she worked under the stove to take care of her younger siblings, and after she got married, she served her husband and in-laws. Therefore, even if a beautiful girl marries a farmer, she will be no different from an ordinary peasant woman within two or three years. In this case, most women accept their fate, but there are still some people who do not believe in fate, and Xi'er is one of them.

She has always thought she was very smart, she thought she was very determined. So, it was easy to get that important news, and she immediately carried the dozens of coppers she had accumulated, and walked for three hours before coming to Qingzhou. When she met the man who led the way diligently, she originally thought that she had met a good person, so she drank a bowl of tea handed by the other party defenselessly. When she woke up, she found herself locked in a dark room, her hands and feet tied tightly, and she couldn't scream even if she wanted to.

Even the last time she was drugged and revealed, she wasn't as scared and desperate as she is now. She finally understood that the grandfather who often said that people were sinister was not nagging, she finally understood that the sister-in-law who said that she should be content is not unproductive, and she finally understood that she could not get what she wanted...... She even wondered why she was unwilling to marry that honest husband, and why she had so many messy thoughts.

So when the closed door was kicked open, she just squinted her eyes sluggishly.

Hu Qi rushed in with an arrow, and saw a figure curled up in the corner of the room, and immediately gestured to the two healthy women behind him. When they untied the rope and lifted a shrunken girl out, he could make out the person he was looking for. Seeing her looking at him blankly, he said in a deep voice: "Miss Xi'er, don't worry, it's all right." ”

In the face of these people who were like divine soldiers descending from the sky, Xi'er was really stunned, but after the shock, there was ecstasy. She opened her mouth to say what she had come for, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get a word out of her mouth. She tried again and again, until in the end hope turned to despair.

Could it be that God just wants her to be a mute for the rest of her life to punish her for discontentment?

Although Hu Qi didn't like this girl who didn't know self-love, he really didn't expect that the person who was successfully rescued couldn't speak, and his heart was suddenly shocked and angry. He ordered two healthy women to put the people in the car, and instructed the other servants to search the house, and he personally escorted the car back to the palace. As soon as he arrived at the ground, he ordered Xi'er in the car to be sent to Zhang Yue's office, and strode straight to the prison cell, and shouted loudly when he brought up the iron rooster: "Dog, what kind of dumb medicine did you pour into that girl, who can cure it!" ”

If there is a regret medicine in the world, the iron rooster can't wait to eat a thousand or ten thousand tablets, it is just a small mistake, at most an attempted abduction, knocking on a few boards at most, he should never think about getting rid of his crimes, and say what kind of White Lotus Sect lair, let alone say that he has turned one medicine before. At this point, he swallowed hard before stammering, "No...... It's not a dumb drug, it's just a temporary one...... Don't let her speak for the time being, ...... In two or three days! These are all secret recipes, and no doctor can cure them. ”

Two or three days! After two or three days, the daylilies are cold, and the ten-day period is only three days!

At this moment, Hu Qi couldn't wait to kill this hateful guy piece by piece. If it weren't for this person who abducted that girl who was not deeply involved in the world, she would have explained all the messy things clearly in the government office earlier, and she still needed such trouble? Gritting his teeth and glaring at the iron rooster, he suddenly laughed sadly.

"Come on, tie up this guy and give it to Zhao Tuiguan. He's been so busy these days that he broke his leg and was tired and hoarse, so you tell him, just say that he couldn't find a clue after a lot of work, and now someone has sent him to the door, but he was drugged and dumb by this guy! If Zhao Tui's official anger is not enough, he will be tortured with him! ”

The iron rooster is the real soul at this moment: "The adults spare their lives, the little ones don't dare anymore, the adults spare their lives......"

Hu Qi spat on the ground with disdain on his face: "My lord's life? If Lao Tzu were an adult, Lao Tzu would have killed you alive! ”

And in Zhang Yue's public office, in the face of Xi'er, who was dumb and couldn't speak, Lingxi comforted her in every possible way, which made her frightened and desperate gradually calm down. When Hu Qi asked people to bring in the words, Lingxi was even more relieved, and personally went to make a bowl of fragrant fragrant tea, and prepared two plates of candied fruits and put them on the table.

"Sister, don't worry, that dog thing has been sent to the front cooking, and it will definitely give you a good breath. I have already interrogated just now, this medicine only has an effect of two or three days, and you will be able to speak in two days, and you will not be dumb all the time. ”

With this guarantee, Xi'er, who was originally like ashes, really gave birth to some hope. Seeing that Lingxi was wearing a lotus-colored gauze shirt, a pomegranate red threaded skirt underneath, a bun on her head, and a jade pendant with a silver background on her ears, she couldn't help but look at it. At this moment, she suddenly heard movement outside, and when she looked up, she saw someone picking up a curtain and entering the house, Zhang Yue in front of her, and a girl in the back was more charming and delicate than the one in front of her.

"If I had known that this guy was such a conscienceless beast, I would have beaten him up today!" Xiao Wu followed Zhang Yue into the house, still scolding in his mouth, "He deceived others and wanted to lie to me, fortunately I called Brother Hu Qi to teach him a lesson, otherwise he would have eaten that guy and ran away!" This kind of killing a thousand knives is best beaten to death! ”

"Little Five, don't say a word!"

Zhang Yue saw Xi'er sitting on the kang with a stunned face, and hurriedly stopped Xiao Wu. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "It is also my negligence that there is such a thief in this Qingzhou Mansion, but fortunately, Miss Xi'er is still an auspicious person today." It is said that Miss Xi'er is here with news of rebellion against the party, since you can't speak for the time being, can you tell me any other way? ”

If there is any other way, Zhang Yue will not be eager to ask Xi'er, who has just experienced a catastrophe. However, he really had no choice, and the Dusi Yamen had finally found out the empty weapons of several guards, but the government was stunned that there was no progress. Now that the drought has eased slightly, farmers in all states and counties are waiting to open the sickle to harvest the wheat, and those who made a lot of trouble seem to have disappeared out of thin air.

Xi'er moved her legs and knelt and sat up, bowed to Zhang Yue on the kang, and then gestured several times but couldn't say why, and her face suddenly turned red. Seeing this, Lingxi next to him hurriedly went inside to get a pen and paper. However, Xi'er couldn't write at all, and she didn't know how to draw, so she could only do it in a hurry. At this time, Xiao Wu's eyes rolled, and he stepped forward to sit next to her, picked up the pen and wrote and drew on the paper as if demonstrating.

"I can't write or care, I didn't know how to do it at the beginning, it's very easy to draw. Let me tell you, this circle represents a stone, this boxy one represents a house, and this circle plus four dots represents a person. Don't worry, take your time, you draw me and guess, if you think it's right, nod it, shake your head. ”

Hearing this, Xi'er gradually calmed down, picked up the pen and drew on a blank piece of paper. Xiao Wu looked at it from the side, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "This is the mountain, do you mean they are hiding in the mountain?" Hmm, there are a lot of mountains here in Shandong...... Do these wavy lines refer to water? Is this mountain by the water? What do you mean by these many stones, could it be a quarry? No...... Is it a house made of stone? Nor is it ...... Is that...... A cottage made of stone? ”

Zhang Yue on the side saw Xi'er nodding and shaking his head, and suddenly had an idea: "But there is a stone character in the name of the village?" ”

Xi'er's eyes lit up, and she nodded immediately, and drew a number of people over there, with hundreds of circles, and finally she couldn't draw anymore before she put down her pen and made another gesture. At this moment, Zhang Yue immediately understood that there were many people in that village. He vaguely thought of the famous White Lotus uprising in history, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't remember that place, and couldn't help but turn his gaze to the picture drawn by Xi'er. After a while, Xi'er drew a person on another piece of paper, and the other features were not clear, except for the full beard on his face.

"Is that the big brother Yue who spoke to you last time?"

Seeing that Zhang Yue recognized it, Xi'er was immediately overjoyed, and wanted to paint again but didn't know how to write, so she had to point her finger at him, and then at the people in the village on the mountain.

"The people in the village on the mountain were led by this big brother Yue?" Zhang Yue already had a slight eyebrow at this time, so he waved his hand to signal that Xi'er didn't need to draw anymore, and asked, "You mean, those people who are making trouble in Le'an County are now hiding in a certain village on a mountain, and these people have the guidance or guidance of Brother Yue?" Then let me ask you, do you know who are hiding on this mountain, is there the famous Buddha Mother, or the White Lotus Sect Master? ”

Xi'er shook her head blankly, then waved her hand again and pointed to her ear. At this time, Zhang Yue understood that she hadn't heard this at all, and was suddenly a little disappointed. Thinking that it was the dumb medicine ordered by that damn human trafficker, he suddenly became more and more annoyed at this time, and immediately thought that the Meng family still had a skilled Feng Yuanming here, so he ordered Xiao Wu and Lingxi to send Xi'er over to have a look first.

When they were gone, he looked at the pictures again, and for a long time he looked at the bearded image, then he crumpled it up, went to the study on one side, fetched a copper basin and burned it, and then went out of the mansion. He was about to go to the prefect Ling Hua to take a good look, but he almost collided with the person who rushed over.

"My lord, there's news! Brother Peng has news! ”

Hearing the name that he hadn't heard for months, Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. Hu Qi didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and hurriedly explained: "Didn't Old Brother Peng take away a lot of people who were borrowed from Liu Dushuai when he left? According to him, the group of people who made a big fuss in Le'an County was in a village on a mountain not far from Qingzhou! ”
