Text Chapter 3: Alone in the bamboo forest
Yu Zixuan was escorted back to Ziqiong Garden by the guards.
There was such a scene in the utility room just now, and those few personal maids and cleaning chores still have lingering palpitations.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, if you don't have any eyesight, you can't live anymore, so you don't dare to take her in your eyes like before, go back to the yard, and clean up with their duties.
Xiutao, another servant girl who was waiting closely, stood at the door and hesitated for a while, but still pushed the door into the house, and cautiously opened her mouth and said: "Sixth Miss, the clothes on your body are dirty, the slave maid go and get a clean set, bathe and change clothes first, and sleep more comfortably." ”
Yu Zixuan's cold and sharp gaze swept over her uneasy face, in the memory she carried, as soon as Jin Niang and Xiu Tao came to serve her, they tried their best to torture her, not only let her master hang the well water to boil to serve them, but also intimidated and threatened her if she was slightly dissatisfied, and even stabbed her with the embroidery needles one by one.
That unstoppable vicious face is exactly the same as her eldest sister Yufu, and it is worthy of the two vicious dogs transferred from her.
She quietly hid the sneering smile in her eyes, hooked the corners of her lips and said, "Xiutao, do you think Jin Niang can come back alive?" ”
"This ...... The slave and maid did not know. Xiu Tao's heart trembled when she heard this, cold sweat slid down her forehead, and she almost couldn't stand on her feet.
The words that Jin Niang said in public were all taught by Yufu in advance, in order to slander Young Master Yuanwu and seduce Miss Six, and if they wanted to take it by force, they were killed by Miss Six, so that they could kill two birds with one stone.
Only if Yuanwu dies, the third aunt will fall into the pit that Yufu has prepared a long time ago, and make the third aunt who lost her beloved nephew make a big fuss, so that Yu Zixuan, an unfavored concubine, will inevitably have to die for a life.
And Xiangye is the least fond of making trouble in the house, this kind of thing is too insulting, and then as long as the eldest lady blows the wind in her ears by Xiangye's side, the third aunt will not be able to go to the general's mansion even if she is reluctant to go to the general's mansion at the cost of her daughter.
But who would have thought that things would turn around like this, Miss Six was like a person who had suddenly changed, and she was not flustered at all, but forced the eldest lady to give in, and even Mama Li was angry when she talked to Miss Six just now.
This is called how Xiu Tao is not nervous.
"Miss Six, it's not too early, you better rest early." After that, you have to step down.
"The rules in this prime minister's house are really interesting, and the slave dares to make decisions for the master without authorization?"
Xiu Tao was swept away by her sharp gaze, and the whole person fell to the ground in a panic: "The slave doesn't dare." ”
"Don't dare?" Yu Zixuan raised her eyebrows lightly, got up and walked in front of her, and grabbed the hand that was more delicate than herself.
The two embroidery needles hidden in the palm of her hand instantly pierced into Xiu Tao's palm without a trace.
Xiu Tao snorted softly in pain, trembling terribly, but when she didn't see how she did it, she was even more afraid and didn't dare to resist.
"Sixth Miss, it was the slave maid who should die before, and she didn't do her duty as a slave and maid, but now the slave and maid know that she is wrong, and she will definitely serve you wholeheartedly in the future, and she will never dare to make a little mistake." The palm of her hand hurt more and more, and she kowtowed to the ground with a crying voice.
"What do I blame you, crying like this, those outside who don't know still think how vicious Miss Six is."
An understatement made Xiu Tao freeze.
Although she was not detained in the utility room for interrogation today, if she continued to stay with Miss Six, her life may not be saved.
She doesn't want to die in the Prime Minister's Mansion at a young age!
failed to kill Miss Six, and the mother and daughter in the long room would not necessarily let her go.
"Sixth Miss, if the slave and maid tell the eldest lady about murdering you, can you bypass the slave and maid and let the slave and maid continue to stay by your side and serve?" She hugged Yu Zixuan's feet and begged bitterly.
Yu Zixuan shook her off and said coldly: "A slave who can betray his master, do you think I will stay by my side?" ”
That would be tantamount to raising tigers.
She wouldn't do this kind of stupid thing at all.
The only hope in Xiu Tao's eyes was also disappointed, and she could no longer suppress her fear and sobbed: "In addition to listening to the words of the master, what other way can the perfect slave and maid be, Miss Six begs you not to abandon the slave maid, the slave maid swears to be loyal to you!" ”
Loyalty?
Yu Zixuan, who listened, wanted to laugh.
"If you want to live, it's not impossible, but you have to do something for me." When she was picked up, there was a nurse with her, but after entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, the nurse didn't know where she went, and she never saw her again.
The nurse is the only person Yu Zixuan can trust here, and she must get it back.
This Xiu Tao used to follow Yufu, maybe she will know something.
Xiu Tao was anxious to prove her position, and climbed to her feet as she spoke: "The slave is willing to go to the soup for Miss Six!" ”
"Help me find Aunt Fang Qin who entered the mansion with me."
"Is Miss Six talking about the woman in her early forties with an elegant temperament?" Xiu Tao asked.
"Yes, that's her."
Xiu Tao's face turned pale for a moment, her lips and teeth trembled and she was silent for a while before she spoke: "After that aunt and the eldest lady had a few words of verbal conflict, she was taken away by the housekeeper in the house, and the slave maid only heard that she was going to be thrown into the back mountain forest to feed the wolves, and the others didn't know." ”
What the?!
Hey the wolf......
Aunt Fang Qin is just a middle-aged woman who is powerless, if she really encounters a hungry wolf, she has no power to resist at all, and she will definitely die.
Yu Zixuan immediately stood up and walked out, no matter what the chance of rescuing Aunt Fang Qin was, she had to go and see it in person.
Xiu Tao hurriedly rushed up and grabbed her: "Sixth Miss, the back mountain forest is even more terrifying at night, and the beasts raised inside are all very hungry, if you go, you really can't come back, or wait for daytime, right?" ”
"Talk less, you'll live longer." Yu Zixuan brushed her hand away, and her attitude was resolute.
……
In the middle of the autumn night in October, it was very cold.
The huge Xiangfu Road is really hard to find, Yu Zixuan walked for half an hour, and before she could find the back mountain forest, she saw someone carrying a lantern hurriedly running in her direction.
When I got closer, I saw clearly that the person who came was Xiu Tao.
"Miss Sixth is wrong, it should be in the north, you continue to walk forward and you will go to the courtyard of the eldest lady." She lowered her voice to warn, for fear of being discovered by the patrolling guards.
"Just show me the right way, I'll go by myself." Yu Zixuan said indifferently.
Xiu Tao sniffed aggrievedly, and after telling her the correct route, she insisted: "The slave and maid can't go back, and other masters won't want the slave and maid anymore, Miss Six, you can give the slave and maid another chance." ”
"You just want to live, I will arrange for you to leave the house, as for staying by my side, don't think about it." Yu Zixuan quickly walked out of the crossroads and crossed the peach forest trail before seeing several iconic rockeries.
A few steps further on, I saw a large area of black pressed bamboo, which should be the back mountain forest.
At a distance, you can faintly hear the howl of wolves coming from the forest, and the forest is cold and terrifying.
She was often sick and weak when she was a child, and if she hadn't been sent to practice sanda and karate for more than ten years to strengthen her body and protect herself, she would not have dared to go directly into the woods infested with wild beasts at night.
That's a game of death.
As I went deeper into the forest, I felt that the temperature around me had dropped a lot, and the miasma had become more severe.
The slightest sneer drilled into her sleeve, and her thin body trembled slightly, this weak physique made Yu Zixuan a little helpless, she had to strengthen her training in the future, otherwise it would be a problem to protect herself.
'Hmmm'
Suddenly, a wolf howl sounded behind him.
The sound is close, definitely no more than two meters.
She quickly turned to look, and in the dark area in front of her, there were five or six pairs of green eyes staring at her.
The wolves in this forest have been hungry for a long time, and as soon as they smell the popularity, they immediately gather.
She had just taken two steps back when the hungry wolf swooped down on her.
'Hmmm! ’
All of a sudden, I saw that the green eyes were shaking in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, it was close to my eyes!
The nearest one opened its mouth and was about to go down her shoulder!
She rolled sideways to the ground, grabbed a bamboo, and stabbed the wolf in the throat with great precision.
The hungry wolf didn't have time to dodge, and was impaled in the throat by the bamboo, and immediately fell to the ground, blood gushing out.
Getting time to breathe, Yu Zixuan turned over and jumped up, stepped on the body of the dead wolf with one foot, pulled the bamboo out of her throat, and flew the dead wolf under her feet.
Her actions made the other wolves jealous, and they didn't dare to move forward, but only dared to stare from a distance.
Although these hungry wolves are aggressive, they obviously love their lives, and if they take the initiative to attack them, they may be able to find their usual nest.
The worst plan is to find Aunt Fang Qin there.
No matter what, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death!
She tied up the hem of her skirt, and with a firm gaze in her bright eyes, she stepped forward with an arrow and stabbed the wolf with a wave of bamboo.
The hungry wolf wanted to fight back at first, but was injured by her skill.
Knowing that the person in front of him was not the prey that could be eaten casually before, the wolves immediately scattered and fled.
Gu Qingmo followed two of the wolves through the bamboo forest, and when she continued to move forward, she found that there was a hole in the wall.
She immediately stopped, leaned over and tried, a slender person could get through.
Right at the exit, hung a scraped piece of fabric of clothes.
At a glance, he recognized that this was Aunt Fang Qin's clothes.
On the other side of the cave, she found Aunt Fang Qin, who had already been injured and unconscious.
After a simple examination, fortunately, the body was not bitten by a wolf, it should have been injured when escaping, and the arm was broken, and it must be taken away immediately for treatment, otherwise the arm will be useless.
She unbuckled her belt, clasped Fang Qin's hands, and slowly pulled her out of the hole.
When he ran out of the bamboo forest with Fang Qin on his back, he suddenly smelled a scorching smell.
The blazing fires in the distance are particularly dazzling in the night sky!
Someone set fire to the bamboo forest?!
