Chapter 10 The Pretty Master and Servant Under the Peach Blossom Tree
The night is as cool as water. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Mo squatted beside the earthen wall with Pu Dao, yawning lazily, and complaining in his heart.
It stands to reason that at this time, he should sit happily with Zhao Wu in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion and drink tea, and listen to the people sing and sing small songs.
However, just as he followed Zhao Wuyi into the threshold of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, he didn't have time to take a closer look at the Yingying Yanyan in the Fan Building, and was called back by the official Ma Liu'er.
The reason is very simple, the lord wants to be promoted.
In the majestic court, the county lord who painted the eyebrows of the seventh aunt seemed to be in a good mood.
He patiently listened to the grievances of the suspect Lao Han and the cry of the bitter master who lost his daughter, and immediately made a final decision, and asked Zhao Wu and Li Mo to squat under the earthen wall of the suspect's old man's house to see if what the old man said was true.
As for why Li Mo and Zhao Wu were asked to squat, the reason was simpler.
People are locked up by them, and they must be responsible to the end.
Squatting and squatting, then you have to squat and defend to the death.
Therefore, Li Mo and Zhao Wu squatted from the time to the time, and they yawned again and again.
Taking advantage of the gap between squatting and guarding, Li Mo did not miss the words from Zhao Wu's mouth, and basically had a preliminary understanding of this overhead era.
It is about the Southern Song Dynasty here, but the emperor in power is not surnamed Zhao. Zhao Wu said vaguely, and Li Mo didn't care much. After all, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and it has nothing to do with him if he inquires.
What Li Mo is most concerned about is the information about his body.
He had no memory of the original owner in his mind, and if it weren't for the outfit of a servant who wore it, he would have suspected that he had worn it.
And Zhao Wu's evaluation of Li Mo's original body is only three words: unclear.
Zhao Wu said that Li Mo only came to Zhenjiang a month ago, and he was quiet on weekdays, and never talked about his life before coming here.
Everyone is a big man, he doesn't mention it, and naturally no one is rare to ask. On weekdays, they stand together and patrol the streets, and they get along well.
Therefore, at this time, Li Mo was full of complaints and depressed.
Others crossed, either his identity was expensive, or his golden fingers were huge, but he became a small official who even had a bad name.
Life is so sad, how do people face it!
"It's almost time, let's go back!" Zhao Wu yawned big, "That old man must be nonsense, let's go!" ”
"But didn't the adults tell us to squat?" Li Mo subconsciously asked.
Zhao Wu shook his tired neck and dragged Li Mo to stand up, "Yes, haven't we squatted and guarded?" I didn't find anything, let's go, call it a day! ”
"Oh," Li Mo was about to leave, when he suddenly saw two figures walking far away outside the earthen wall, and hurriedly dragged Zhao Wu back, "Wait, someone is coming." ”
Zhao Wu was dragged and almost fell, stabilized his body and squatted down, grabbed Pu Dao and looked out at the waist, "Who the doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and comes out to wander around, ah?" Scare Lao Tzu! ”
They squatted in the courtyard of the suspect's old man's house, looking out through half of the earthen wall, and outside was the open space during the day.
At this time, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and there is no one in the clearing. Only the unusually thick peach tree, sparsely shadowed, stood proudly in the melting night.
"What about people? Where is it? "Zhao Wu is a little angry, it's a big night, it's a mess!
Li Mo stretched out his hand and pointed to the peach tree, lowered his voice and said, "Come here, do you see it?" ”
Sure enough, two thin figures walked over from a distance.
Far away, I couldn't see whether it was a man or a woman, only two blurred figures were seen, and there was a long shadow that was pulled.
"Damn, Si'er, can't there really be anything like that? What a wicked nature! Zhao Wu swallowed his saliva, a little nervous.
As a five-good young man born under the red flag and raised in the spring breeze, Li Mo absolutely does not believe in these strange forces.
He patted Zhao Wu's shoulder casually, "Don't worry, there are shadows, and footsteps, it's definitely not that." ”
Zhao Wu was relieved now, his temper rose, and he scolded his mother in a muffled voice, "Who the is this, come out in the middle of the night to scare Lao Tzu, wait and see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill him!" ”
The figure gradually approached, and stopped when he walked under the peach tree.
Only then did Li Mo see clearly that the two people who came over turned out to be the master and servant who he met in Jinshan Temple during the day.
Zhao Wu also saw it, and was about to stand up straight and scold, but was stopped by Li Mo, "Don't, look at what moths they are messing up." ”
"These high-ranking ladies are really worrying! I didn't even bring a nursing home when I came out, I deserved to be kidnapped by gangsters! Zhao Wu scolded in a low voice, leaning on the wall and watching quietly with Li Mo.
"Miss, let's sneak out at night, let's hurry back! If the lord found out, he would definitely sell me to someone. The maid shrunk her shoulders and looked around in fear. It's pitch black everywhere and it's scary!
Xu Jiaorong patted her chest absently, not looking like a lady at all, "What are you afraid of!" Your young lady and I are good at fists and kicks, and I can't protect you?! ”
"But it has spread all over the city, that there are demons," said the little maid, who looked around timidly to make sure that there was nothing unusual, and then continued to admonish, "what about the monsters! Miss, youkai aren't afraid of punches and kicks! Let's hurry back! ”
Li Mo was secretly funny, sure enough, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles!
It must have been when they took the old man and the woman to the yamen in the afternoon, and the onlookers heard a few words.
The three of them became tigers, and the false ones became true.
This Miss Xu was arrogant and willful, big-chested and brainless, and had a small belly and chicken intestines, and actually kicked him into the lake. Hmph, he'll wait and see what happens, and then he'll clean her up later!
Li Mo thought so in his heart and continued to look out of the wall.
Xu Jiaorong under the peach tree glanced at her maid, "Don't be verbose, otherwise I will give you to the monster as the lady of the village!" ”
This intimidation was very useful, and the little maid was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything anymore, and her eyes were full of tears of grievance. Woo, can she be a rough girl? It's so hard to serve a young lady who doesn't play her cards according to reason!
Seeing that the little maid was no longer silent, Xu Jiaorong nodded with satisfaction, and stretched out her pure hand in front of the maid, "Bring it." ”
"Miss, do you really want to do this?" The little maid hesitated to hand the cloth bag in her hand to Xu Jiaorong. I complained bitterly in my heart, master, the maid really can't serve the young lady, quickly punish the maid to sprinkle and sweep!
Xu Jiaorong took the cloth bag, opened it layer by layer with satisfaction, and said proudly, "When I was incense yesterday, I listened to what those two girls said. As long as you come to Taohuawu to burn incense under the peach blossom tree, you can see your future husband! ”
As she spoke, Xu Jiaorong's face was slightly hot, and she glanced at the little maid with disgust, "Don't you want to see Miss Ben's future match?" ”
