Chapter 348: A Fire in the Backyard
Long Yuqin didn't speak, Ke Yao, who was always at the end, found a ghost and a department out of nowhere, and kept his head down and pulled in the grass, this girl was most afraid of thunder and snakes on rainy days. In her words, the most terrible person is a two-faced person, the most terrible animal is an animal that has no long legs and has a lot of legs, a few days ago Li Pu dug an earthworm for her, she was so frightened that she lost her face, let alone a snake.
Hearing Du Wenhao say this, Ke Yao said: "That's it, I'm most afraid of restraint, everyone is unrestrained, isn't it good?" ”
Lin Qingdai glared at her. Xue Wu'er said coldly: "You like to be unrestrained, I have long seen that you are like this, or else, hum." Don't mention it. ”
Pang Yuqin saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly changed the topic: "Xianggong, I heard that Hengzhi." The fish is delicious, shall we go fishing tomorrow? ”
Ke Yao didn't give up, and asked coldly: "Otherwise, you will make your words clear." ”
"Otherwise, your family wouldn't be like this! A broom star! ”
"You!" Ke Yao was so angry that he trembled, pointing at Xue Xue'er but couldn't say a word.
Du Wenhao frowned slightly, stopped and looked back at Xue Jiao'er and Ke Yao, and said, "Such a good view, wouldn't it be better for you to enjoy and appreciate that time to fight?"
The two saw that although Du Wenhao said it with a smile, there was already some displeasure in his words. Don't dare to say anything more.
Walking to a pavilion, just overlooking the scenery under the mountain, Du Wenhao walked to the pavilion, everyone followed, no one spoke, only listened to the mountain wind whistling, and there was silence all around.
For a long time, I don't know who said: "Where is Ke Yao?" ”
Du Wenhao turned his head to look at the crowd. If there is really no shadow of Ke Yao, I can't help but sink my heart, this girl is very heavy, the sky is about to get dark, if you run everywhere, the mountains here are dangerous" Du Wenhao hurriedly asked Li Pu to take a few people to look for it, and he had no intention of watching any scenery, so he took people back.
Xue Liang'er walked to Du Wenhao's side. said dissatisfiedly: "It's really the temper of the eldest lady, I didn't say anything." ”
Du Wenhao didn't speak, he kept walking forward with his hands behind his back, and Pang Yuqin saw that Du Wenhao had no intention of talking, so he stopped talking.
Back at the inn, Ke Yao really didn't come back. Lin Qingdai was also anxious, so she went out to look for it and walked to the door. I saw the shopkeeper Leng Mu coming out of the backyard. Then he stepped forward and asked, "Shopkeeper Leng, you should be familiar with the road on this mountain, there are no cliffs or anything around, right?" ”
Leng Mu smiled and said, "Since it is a mountain, there are naturally cliffs gnawing on the wall, what is the lady asking for this?" ”
Lin Qingdai said anxiously: "Then why is it that the good little sister is separated from us." ”
Leng Mu listened. His expression suddenly became solemn, and he said: "How can this be, then you have to find it quickly, in case one is not careful, the consequences will be unimaginable, so let's take a few guys and my wife to look for it." Fortunately, the moonlight is good tonight, let's go. ”
Lin Qingdai nodded gratefully at Leng Mu. The two men walked out the door, and a figure from upstairs flashed by the window.
Du Wenhao paced back and forth in the room uneasily, Pang Yuqin walked in the door, holding a tray in his hand, and said softly; "I saw that Qing Dai and the shopkeeper Leng took someone to find it, Xianggong, don't worry too much, Ke Yao and she will also have some fists and kicks, she should be fine." As he spoke, he placed the tray on the table. There was a bowl of lotus seeds and two side dishes on the tray.
Du Wenhao walked to the table and sat down, Pang Yuqin handed over a pair of chopsticks and carefully looked at Du Wenhao's expression, the corners of his mouth moved, and finally he didn't speak.
"I can't eat it, you can eat it yourself." Du Wenhao looked at the contents of the tray and said.
"Leaner doesn't have a heart, she just has that temper, and it's over, but today's words are a bit heavy." Pang Yuqin snorted.
"Well, don't hit people in the face, trees are afraid of revealing their skins. People are afraid of sadness. In the future, let her speak carefully. Du Wenhao frowned.
"Hmm. It's just that you know Rou'er's temper, and she can't change it. I don't feel that I have done anything wrong, in fact, she always quarrels with Ke Yao, not because she really can't get used to her, but because she is burdened."
"I know, she is worried that Ke Yao will become my concubine again, I have already said it, I just pity her, since Qingdai recognized her as a sister. That's my sister, that's all. She's just cautious. ”
Pang Yuqin sat next to Du Wenhao for a long time. said in a low voice: "Or" Let's let Ke Yao leave. ”
Du Wenhao looked up at Pang Yuqin and didn't speak, Pang Yuqin continued: "I mean, she and we are not related. You don't have that mind, and to be honest, she has the most things to do along the way, and it's not that the food is bad for a while. It's that the bed is soft and hard, and she picks and chooses, no wonder Rou'er can't get used to her. You see, this time, without saying a word, he ran to the side by himself, making the adults anxious. Since it's so noisy. It's better to let her go. ”
Du Wenhao didn't speak, got up and sat in front of the window. The moon slowly moved to the edge of a cloud, and after a while, it was completely hidden, and it was dark all of a sudden, and someone in the yard was shouting something, Du Wenhao listened carefully, saying that it was for people to collect the clothes that were dried in the courtyard, and it would rain in the second half of the night, hearing this, Du Wenhao turned around and walked out of the door.
"Xianggong, where are you going?" Pang Yuqin got up and asked.
"I'll go out for a walk." Du Wenhao walked as he spoke.
Pang Yuqin stood at the door and watched Du Wenhao go downstairs.
The search was fruitless all night. Du Wenhao: They didn't sleep all night.
When it was almost dawn, it rained, and Li Pu and the others came back, looking depressed.
How should this be good? Li Pu asked Xi Zhao with an anxious expression
Pang Yuqin peeked at Du Wenhao, and Du Wenhao walked to Li Pu's side and patted him lightly on the shoulder. Said: "Let's wait, Qing Dai and Leng Shopkeeper Xingxing can find it." ”
As he spoke, he heard someone going upstairs, Du Wenhao turned his head to look, only to see Leng Mu hurriedly walking upstairs, scratching the inner thigh with one hand indecently, and walking in front of Du Wenhao.
"The cold shopkeeper. How's it going? Du Wenhao asked eagerly.
Leng Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his head, and said, "We have all found halfway up the mountain, and we have found all the places that should be found." The rain was too heavy and the lanterns were blown out, and Miss Ke Yao came up the mountain for the first time. You shouldn't have walked so fast, and the road is not familiar, so there's no reason why you can't find it. ”
Pang Yuqin: "Could it be that he ran away to live in another inn in anger?" ”
Leng Mu: "What the eldest lady said is, I also thought of this, and sent people to look for each inn, but they all said that they didn't see her." My lord, the fourth lady said that she would go down the mountain to take a look, but I couldn't resist her, and when I saw that she was good, I asked her to take someone to take a look, and I would come back and tell you. ”
Du Wenhao's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and Xue Jiao'er muttered: "It's okay this time, everyone has to go out, she thinks that we value her, this lofty mountain and black light is blind, and I don't know where to fall."
"Enough!" Du Wenhao scolded, "Even if you don't think she is a relative, it's a life, right?" How can you be so ruthless? ”
Everyone was taken aback. Xue Liang'er was also surprised that from the time she got married to the present, Du Wenhao Mo said that she spoke loudly, even if she didn't have a word of blame, Xue Liang'er ran back to her room with a red face.
The money is not collected: "Master, you dissipate your anger first, I see that Miss Ke Yao is the smartest, Re should know that you are very worried about her, and you will not run away, young people are like this, and they will naturally come back when they are angry." ”
Leng Mu also chimed in. While scratching the inner thigh with his hand, seeing Du Wenhao looking at him, he was a little embarrassed to retract his hand. But I couldn't help but reach out to scratch it again, and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's a little itchy."
Du Wenxuan: "Is it eczema? ”
"I think I ran too quickly today. There was a lot of sweat, and this was "very itchy, and I couldn't help but scratch, hehe." ”
"There are skin diseases that can't be scratched. The more you scratch, the harder you go. I'll show you when I have time. ”
"Thank you, sir. I'll take a few more people to find Miss Ke Yao. The rain won't stop for a while, and the road is slippery, if anything, alas! As he spoke, the cold shopkeeper went out and left.
The money is not collected, and he brushes his beard. He said in a low voice: "Master, in fact, the third grandmother is also for the good of the master." ”
Pang Yuqin is the original match, there is a decree canonization, only she can be called Mrs., the three concubines are in the order of entry, Li'er is the second grandmother, Xue Jiao'er is the third grandmother, and Lin Qingdai is the fourth grandmother.
Du Wenhao looked at the money in confusion and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Qian Bu said: "Miss Ke Yao is really good, she is smart, and she gets along well with everyone, but she grew up in a big family after all." A little high-minded, and very arrogant, always thinking that everyone Miss Yao had something to think of you, after all, she used to be in "
"Well, I know what to do. You haven't slept all night, go and rest. ”
Qian Bu said: "We are too sleepy this year, and besides, Miss Ke Yao has not been found, where can we sleep." I'll be waiting downstairs with you. ”
An hour later, Lin Qingdai and Leng Mu's mother came, and Du Wenhao saw that there was no Ke Yao behind them, and he was a little desperate.
Lin Qingdai sat down beside Du Wenhao tiredly: "Wenhao, what should I do?" There's no reason for her to leave without telling us a word. Is it? Before Lin Qingdai finished speaking, she couldn't help crying.
Du Wenhao put his arm around Lin Qingdai's shoulders, and now her body was trembling: "Your clothes are wet, go change your clothes first." Then ask the guy to boil some ginger soup for you to drink, so as not to catch a cold. ”
Lin Qingdai: "It's okay, I've been thinking about where she went along the way." ”
Pang Yuqin said: "Sister Qingdai." Don't worry too much, Ke Yao shouldn't have the courage to go far, maybe when she sees the rain, she hides in a cave or some other place where she can take shelter from the rain, if she knows that everyone is looking for her, she will definitely come back. ”
Du Wenhao felt that Pang Yuqin was reasonable, although Ke Yao's temper was sometimes bigger, he would not say goodbye. Besides, it's not that everyone offended her, she wouldn't run away so recklessly, nothing would happen, right?
At this time. A guy rushed in quickly outside the door and said excitedly, "Master, I found it." I've found Miss Ke! ”
Du Wenhao stood up and said, "Where?" ”
"At the door!"
Du Wenhao rushed out, and the rest of the people also ran out to take a look, in the courtyard at the entrance of the inn. Two hunter-like men stood outside the door holding a soaking wet woman. Sure enough, it was Ke Yao, and I saw her hanging her head. Rain was dripping from the head. Pale and crumbling.
Pang Yuqin and Lin Qingdai hurriedly greeted and supported Ke Yao. The two hunters had already heard from the shopkeeper that this was the master of the yamen. Hurriedly bowed and saluted: The villain greets the eldest master.
Du Wenhao clenched his fists and said to the two hunters: "Thank you so much!" I don't know where the two are now? ”
A thin hunter said, "In the shed where we guard the wild boar, we will stop her at dawn and huddle in a corner of our shed. At that time, and we said, Bibi, because we were bad people, holding a branch and trying to beat us, we quickly said that we were Orion. Not a bad person, she retreated outside the shed before she put down the branches. As he spoke, he smiled innocently.
Another said, "yes." Seeing that she was probably sick, we asked her where she lived, and seeing that she didn't want to be a local, she only said that she was lost and wanted to find her brother, so we asked her where she was, and she said that she was at the Foyin Inn, so we sent her. Halfway through, she couldn't walk, and my brother and I couldn't carry her, so we helped her all the way over, as if she was injured. ”
Du Wenhao asked Pang Yuqin and the others to help Ke Yao upstairs first, took out a silver ticket and handed it to the two hunters: "A little heart, please accept it." ”
The two Orions waved their hands indiscriminately: "No, no, this is what the small one should do, and I can't take your money." The little one is gone! With that, the two hunters turned to leave. Du Wenhao didn't want to go, so he chased after him and stuffed the silver ticket into the belt of one of the hunters.
Then the Orion bowed and thanked him. The two walked away, and only then did they take out the silver ticket and see that it was twenty taels. They were all stunned, they had never seen so much silver in their lives, and now there was hope for a son to marry a wife and have children, and the two of them were so happy that they grinned incessantly.
Du Wenhao went upstairs, and Li'er stepped forward and said softly; "Sister Qingdai is bathing and changing clothes for Ke Yao, master, you wait a while to go in."
Du Wenhao frowned tightly and said, "How can Ke Yao survive?" ”
Li'er said: "It looks very tired. After tossing this night, I must be very tired. I have already instructed the store to prepare ginger soup. ”
After a while, the door opened. Lin Qingdai came out and said to Du Wenhao: "Ke Yao wants to see him."
Du Wenhao entered the door and saw Ke Yao lying on the bed, Du Wenhao walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed: "How is it?" ”
Ke Yao smiled tiredly at Du Wenhao. said: "Brother, I'm sorry to worry you." ”
Du Wenhao reached out and touched Ke Yao's forehead, which was a little hot now, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Silly sheep's head, you are my sister, what else is there to be embarrassed about, fortunately, you are back, and you want to get out of the cold." It's hard for everyone to think about it. ”
Ke Yao smiled reluctantly: "It's me who is too impulsive, it's just a joke, I can't even think about it, I run around, but I can't find the way back, it's dark again, and then it rains heavily, I'm so scared, I have a shack, so I hid there." I'm so sorry that everyone didn't sleep all night looking for me. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and tears flowed.
Du Wenhao gently wiped away the tears on her face and said, "Okay, it is estimated that more than half of the tears in your life have been shed this year, God is pitiful, nothing happened."
At this time, the door was pushed open, and I saw Pang Yuqin walking in with two bowls of ginger soup, putting the tray on the table, and walking to Ke Yao's side with the bowl: "Come, drink ginger soup."
Ke Yao wanted to get up, Pang Yuqin handed the bowl to Du Wenhao, and then pressed Ke Yao on the bed, and said, "Don't get up if you don't have a good rest one night, I'm here to apologize to you for your help, and she regrets what she said." I hope you can forgive her. ”
Ke Yao hurriedly shook his head: "No, no." It's me who is not good, too willful. He took the ginger soup and drank it slowly.
Pang Yuqin took the bowl and put it down. said: "Are you injured, let me see." ”
Ke Yao said: "It's okay, a little skin injury, the road is too slippery and falling." ”
Lin Qingdai said angrily: "It's also a skin injury." A large piece of skin was wiped off, and the blood soaked the underwear. ”
Du Wenhao stared at Ke Yao and said solemnly: "Trauma can't be a joke, you should know that once you study medicine with me, once you get infected, it will be terrible!" Well, let Yuqin take a look at it for you. ”
Pang Yuqin agreed, and Du Wenhao went out of the room.
When I went downstairs, I saw Xue Jiao'er, who was pouting and looking upstairs. Du Wenhao said: "What? Do you have something to say to Ke Yao? Then go up. ”
"I'm too lazy to see her, huh! She thought we didn't know? Use this method to make you worry, not only give me a dismount, but also take the opportunity to curry favor in front of you, so that you feel sorry for her, hum, I don't know about her little belly chicken intestines? .
Du Wenhao couldn't cry or laugh: "I thought you were sincere in asking Yuqin to apologize,"
"Apologize? Who asked Sister Yuqin to apologize? I don't! Why do you want me to apologize? I'm going to apologize for speaking a little heavier. Then what if she ran out all night, so that everyone was worried about the peace in vain
"She's already apologized!" Never mind. I'm too lazy to care, it's easy to come up the mountain to play, you're good. The bickering family is endless. The heads are big! I'm going to go get some sleep. ”
With that, Du Wenhao returned to his room with his back on his back. Close the door, don't take off your clothes, and lie on the bed.
He hadn't slept all night, and he thought that he would fall asleep when he lay down, but it was so weird, after lying down, he didn't feel sleepy at all. His mind was full of Ke Yao's pitiful appearance.
I have always regarded this girl as a child, because after all, she is still a reading baby who has just entered junior high school in modern times. I already have a lovely Qingdai, she is my confidante, Pang Yuqin is virtuous, Xue Jiao'er is also very caring, and Li'er is also very sensible, I didn't think about what would happen to Ke Yao, nor what would I do to her, why did I stick to myself? It seems that we really can't ignore this matter, and we have to solve it as soon as possible, otherwise something big will happen.
With something to think in his heart, Du Wenhao's messy heart slowly calmed down and fell asleep.
