Chapter 30: A Demon?

"Sister Zhou, this is my home!"

Zhou Hongxian glanced at the word "Cui Fu" on the big plaque and said, "Siniang, your family turned out to be a big family!" ”

"What a big family!" Cui Yu smiled slightly, she stepped forward and knocked on the copper ring, and after a while, the door opened, and a servant walked out. "The fourth lady is back?"

"Well, it's back! I also brought a guest, you go and tell the maids in the house to clean up the guest room! ”

"Okay, Fourth Lady!"

Entering the house, Zhou Hongxian glanced around, and she found that although the house was not wide and luxurious, the rockeries and pavilions were scattered, and the trees and flowers were also cut new, and it could be seen everywhere that the owner of the house was quite elegant.

As soon as they arrived at the inner house, they bumped into a middle-aged woman, who was about forty years old and had a somewhat graceful appearance, who was Cui Yu's mother, Lu.

When Lu Shi saw Cui Yu, he greeted him and said, "Dead Nizi, where did you go in the wild at night?" ”

As soon as Cui Yu saw her, she immediately became respectful: "Auntie, I'm just going out for a walk, where is the wild?" ”

Lu Shi chirped: "As far as you are usually troublesome, you are all light when you are wild!" ”

"Ah Niang-" Cui Yu grabbed Lu's arm and said coquettishly: "How many times has my daughter told you, my daughter usually either causes trouble, or she can't get used to seeing some Xiaoxiao doing nonsense in our Husu County, you just love to listen to those messy people outside chewing the root of my tongue!" My daughter is just trying to share her worries for Aya! ”

"Who are you fooling?"

Cui Yu pulled Zhou Hongxian over and said, "Auntie, you just don't want to believe your daughter!" If you don't believe me, you can ask this Sister Zhou next to me! ”

Only then did Lu Shi notice Zhou Hongxian, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Who is this lady?" ”

Zhou Hongxian was slightly embarrassed: "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, my name is Zhou Hongxian!" ”

Cui Yu immediately took over and said: "Ah Niang, this Sister Zhou came to our Husu County to look for relatives, but she had no relatives because her relatives were gone, but on the street not far from our county government, there were people who dared to tease her, and what was even more odious was that they also planned to sell her to the Qinglou, and today I was fortunate to meet my daughter, otherwise Sister Zhou would suffer in the next life!" ”

After listening to Cui Yu's words, Zhou Hongxian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart that those splashes had said that they would sell me into the Qinglou, you are too good at making up for it! Lu Shi was touched, she looked at Zhou Hongxian and said, "Zhou Niangzi, is what my daughter said true?" ”

Zhou Hongxian's face was a little panicked when Cui Yu described it, and he lowered his head and replied: "Ji--basically true." ”

Lu Shi couldn't help but step forward and hold Zhou Hongxian's hand, looked her up and down, left and right, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Look at this lady Dosven, you really can't spoil the villain, Yu'er, you did the right thing this time!" ”

Cui Yu squinted her eyes and smiled: "Auntie, you seem to like Sister Zhou very much!" ”

Lu Shi glared at her: "I like it more than your Sven aunt, not to mention that the parents are more beautiful than you!" ”

Cui Yu couldn't help but curl her mouth, and in a blink of an eye, she smiled and said, "Auntie, since you also like Sister Zhou, then I want her to stay at our house for one night, you should have no opinion, right?" ”

Lu Shi smiled: "What can I say?" I have no opinion on this kind of thing, it's much better than you messing with me outside! ”

"Auntie, you're here again!"

"Hehe, Mrs. Zhou, even if you live here, you can tell the maid in the house if you need anything!"

"Thank you, ma'am."

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight poured into the window lattice, Zhou Hongxian woke up naturally, and as soon as she got dressed, Cui Yu's hearty laughter came in from outside the door: "Sister Zhou, are you up?" ”

Zhou Hongxian opened the door and saw that Cui Yu was not wearing men's clothes today, but a lake blue shirt and skirt, combing her long hair in a bun, and her face was cute and cute, and she couldn't help but look away for a while.

"Sister Zhou, why are you looking at me like this? It makes me so embarrassed! Cui Yu smiled shyly, completely different from last night's tomboy image.

Zhou Hongxian reluctantly retracted his gaze, scolded in his heart that he was a strange Shu, and then smiled: "Siniang, you got up so early!" ”

At this time, a chubby little head suddenly flashed behind Cui Yu, it was actually a boy who looked only eight or nine years old, and he also had clear eyebrows, he glanced at Zhou Hongxian, a pair of tiger eyes looked bright, and said in a milky voice: "Fourth sister, this Sister Zhou is so beautiful, much more beautiful than you!" ”

Cui Yuliu's eyebrows straightened, and she reached out and picked up the boy's mouth: "What are you talking about, Xiao Wu, give you another chance to speak!" ”

"Four-sister-li-than-her-drift-brew!"

Cui Yu touched the boy's head with a smile again: "Xiao Wu is very well-behaved, and the fourth sister likes you to be such an honest child!" ”

Zhou Hongxian: "... ”

Cui Yu saw that Zhou Hongxian was speechless, and grinned: "Sister Zhou, don't be surprised, I forgot to introduce you, this is my fifth brother Cui Ye, and he is also the youngest child of my Cui family, I usually love him!" Finally, she pinched the boy's face: "Little Wu, isn't it?" ”

The boy also said seriously: "Well, I usually feel a lot of pain!" ”

Zhou Hong saw that the boy dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and he made a pun, and finally couldn't help laughing.

Cui Yu said: "Sister Zhou, I want to go to the countryside with Xiao Wu today, can you go with us?" ”

"Huh? But I'm leaving Husu County today! ”

Cui Yu's eyes were a little resentful: "Sister, didn't you tell me that you came to Husu County to look for relatives because you had no support, and now you can't even find your relatives, where can you go if you leave Husu County?" Why don't you live in my house for a while, I'll ask my mother to help you find a lover, wouldn't it be better for you to stay in our Husu County? ”

Zhou Hongxian was a little embarrassed to hear it, and said with a smile: "You are thinking too long-term!" ”

Cui Yu couldn't help but be coquettish: "Sister, will you accompany us?" Otherwise, it would be too boring for me and Xiao Wu! ”

Cui Ye also said: "Yes, Sister Zhou, come with us!" We have to stay in the countryside for one night tonight, it is very lonely there, and the fourth sister is very timid and needs someone to accompany her! ”

"Stinky little five, who do you say is cowardly?"

"Isn't it you, Fourth Sister?"

"Say it again!"

"Oh, it's me, I need someone to accompany me!"

"Well, that's what it's called telling the truth!"

Zhou Hong saw that the sister and brother were arguing again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Okay, I promised you, I will accompany you to the countryside!" ”

Husu County Ya, Cui Shen saw Xie Qiao, who had just stepped into the threshold, and asked, "Ziping, how did you arrange the people who were captured by the bandits?" ”

"Dong Weng, I have seen the guide of the merchant from Luoyang and checked his identity, so I released him and his servants early this morning! In addition, those twenty women are all from my Husu County, but they have all been broken by bandits, and they have nowhere to go, and they have all been humiliated by bandits, and they do not want their identities to be made public, but hope to become nuns, so I suggest that Dong Weng can keep some of the dirty silver seized this time and build a nunnery for them, so that they can have a place for the rest of their lives! ”

Cui Shen nodded and said, "Well, this is also a good deed, I will explain this in the letter to Cangzhou Thorn History, I believe it will not be a problem!" Then, he said with a smile on his face: "Ziping, we have cleaned up the thieves in Hump Ridge, not only will our Husu County restore peace in the future, but even the trade route between Cangzhou will be unimpeded, and Cangzhou Thorn History will inevitably feel happy, I believe that this credit will not be too small!" ”

Xie Qiao smiled and said, "That Ziping is here to congratulate Dong Weng first!" ”

Cui Shen laughed: "Ziping, your credit should not be underestimated!" Although you are not good at articles, but you have hard work, if I am expected to go further in my career in the future, I will definitely find you an official position! ”

Xie Qiao shook his head and smiled: "Dong Weng, since I failed in the imperial examination several times, I have long since broken off the idea of being an official!" I think the position of the staff is more suitable for me, not to mention that it is also a great blessing in my life to have a Bole like Dong Weng! ”

"Hey, what are you afraid of if you don't win the imperial examination a few times, a man must always have ambitions!"

"Dong Weng, let's not mention this matter for the time being! I also want to ask, how is the trial of the thief named Liang Ergou? ”

Hearing this, Cui Shen's face suddenly became solemn, and he said, "Liang Ergou has explained everything, but what he said is really a bit weird. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

According to his confession, there was indeed a wedding banquet in Qingfeng Village last night, and it was the thief leader Liu Kun who wanted to marry a wife, and the reason why the thieves wanted to kill each other was entirely because of the bride. And it is said that the bride is beautiful, Liang Ergou was just a little sad in his heart, but because he glanced at the bride, he seemed to have forgotten everything, and only wanted to take her for himself, and when he woke up, he didn't even remember who he killed! It sounds incredible, and combined with what we saw in Qingfeng Village last night, I suspect that the bride is probably not human! ”

"If it's not a person, what can it be?"

"It's either a ghost or a demon!"

"It can't be a ghost, I saw her shadow last night, is it a demon?" Xie Qiao muttered to himself, and he couldn't help but recall the hurried glance of his face last night again, and he felt empty for no reason.
