Chapter 55: The eldest lady wants to jump off the building?
As the sun waned, the moon had climbed up the branches.
For the average person, it's just an ordinary night. But for the Cheng family, it was destined to be a night of hard work. Dozens of subordinates poured out of the nest, and they couldn't even take care of eating, shouting Cheng Caixi's name while walking with torches.
Unfortunately, Tang An is also in the ranks. It was he who first discovered that Cheng Caixi ran away, and this great responsibility naturally fell on him, and Cheng Caihe also gave him a very glorious title: Captain of the Sister Hunting Squad, which sounds like the black-faced god of the Qinglou who went to hunt down the women of the good family.
In order to find people as soon as possible, the people scattered out. Tang An walked on the street alone, only feeling that he had no strength at all, and his stomach was protesting. Since last night, the grain of rice has not been exhausted, and the iron beaten people can't stand it.
But if he doesn't find Cheng Caixi, what will he do?
"Miss! Grandma! Female bandits! Seeing that there was no one around, Tang An shouted weakly, muttering in his heart: Why is this girl so uneasy, even if you really feel wronged, you can run into the house, the courtyard of Chengfu is very large, it is most suitable to play peek-a-boo, at most I will pretend not to find you.
Complaining is complaining, but Tang An can't help but think, where can this girl run to when the black light is blind?
Now it's just spring, and the weather in Bianjing is still very cold at night, and I can't live in a warm house, so I have to run out to suffer, and women are really troublesome.
Looking at the starry torches, Tang An sighed, thinking that this girl might have run away.
This female bandit shouted and killed every day, and also cheated Lao Tzu for fifty taels of silver. The benefits didn't follow her for a while, but they only followed the bad luck, and they are still hungry to find someone. No matter what, let's sacrifice my own five internal organs temple first.
After making up his mind, Tang An decided to find something to eat first.
The market was not far from the front door, and after a while, Tang An wandered around. The market at this time is precisely the most lively time, the crowd on Qingban Street is crowded, most of them are men who want to get together to drink some wine after a hard day's work and girls who rush to the market to Taobao, the vendors are full of goods on the stalls, the lanterns of the restaurant are in full swing, and the children's shouts of soliciting customers are endless.
Tang An was on the street, feeling the endless flow of people and the hustle and bustle of hawking, and it felt so real. I took a deep breath and sighed with a smile that this is called living.
The aroma of braised pork came from a burst, constantly stimulating Tang An's taste buds, and he unconsciously walked to a place specializing in selling snacks. The street is lined with vendors, braised brine tofu, spicy fried cakes, steamed noodles and crispy pork... The same seemingly tender and delicious food floated in front of him, and the greedy Tang An swallowed his saliva.
Standing in front of the nearest stall selling steamed meat, he was just about to reach into his arms to get silver taels, but he saw a middle-aged man running over, pulling the old man who sold steamed meat and said: "Lao Li, hurry up and see the excitement, I heard that there is a woman sitting on the roof of the 'Wangxiang Pavilion' in front, and I don't know what to do." ”
The old man named Lao Li was surprised: "Is it to commit suicide?" ”
"Who knows! I heard that the girl is not very old, but she is very handsome. "Well, I don't know how she got up to such a tall building." ”
"Let's go, we have to look at such things. Sister-in-law Zhang! Take a look at the stall for me! ”
Seeing the two of them leaving in a hurry, Tang An was stunned: A beautiful girl is going to jump off the building? Could it be the eldest lady?
Shaking his head a little self-deprecatingly, Tang An secretly laughed at himself for making a fuss. You can meet Cheng Caixi when you go shopping, how can there be such a coincidence. I turned my head and wanted to buy food from other stalls, but when I took a step, I couldn't move anymore, and I always felt a little worried in my heart: What if it was really Cheng Caixi?
Tang An put away the silver, secretly sighed that he was really a cow's hard work, hurriedly caught up with the two in front of him, pulled the previous man and said, "Uncle, is the woman you just said about so tall, very beautiful, and carrying a sword with her?" ”
The man looked at Tang An's gesture and said, "I haven't seen anyone yet, I've just heard about it." Is that person your friend? If you're in a hurry, you might as well go and check it out first. ”
"Where's she?" Tang An asked.
The man pointed to the front and said, "Turn left at the end of this street, and then go to an intersection to the west, and see a restaurant called 'Wangxianglou'." ”
Tang An thanked him and ran over. Bypassing the two street corners, a two-story restaurant is brilliantly lit, which seems to be the "Wangxiang Building" that the person said. The front of the building was full of people. People looked up, pointed at the roof, and talked to each other about something.
Tang An followed their gaze and saw that at the corner of the roof under the moonlight, a young woman was sitting there with her hands on her knees, her goose-yellow robe fluttering in the wind, looking a little lonely. Although she can't see her appearance clearly, she has a slender figure, and looking at her figure has already made a group of young people think about it. It's just that the sword beside him looks a little out of place with this weak woman.
Sword? Miss?
Tang An was shocked, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried. Unexpectedly, the woman sitting on the roof was really Cheng Caixi, she tried her best to find it, but she didn't even see a ghost, and when she gave up and wanted to eat something, she was bumped into by herself.
What is this girl doing at such a high place? Don't you want to kill yourself if you are wronged? It's too fragile, isn't it?
Although this female bandit is usually a little fierce, she is not bad in nature. It's a shame to hang up like that. That's it, for the sake of the eldest young master's kindness to me, Lao Tzu will be chivalrous and soft-hearted, and save you, the lost little lamb!
"Miss! Don't jump off the building! ”
Tang An shouted, squeezed into the crowd left and right, and stood under the eaves with a face|" anxiously" said: "Miss, why are you sitting so high?" Did it fly up? ”
Cheng Caixi was sad because she was scolded by Cheng Yunhe, she lost her mother since she was a child, and she was very fragile in her heart, but fortunately, Cheng Yunhe loved her very much and was never willing to say anything serious. But today, because of that Wei Jianling, who was not a good thing at first glance, actually scolded herself so harshly, which made it difficult for Miss Cheng to accept.
She ran out alone, and she didn't know where to go, and she didn't want others to see the weak side of her sad tears, so she had to jump on the roof and rise and fall on the eaves a few times, until she was tired of jumping, and then rested on this roof, so that she could calm down alone.
Hearing someone shouting about herself, Cheng Caixi stopped crying, looked down, and saw Tang An, who was wearing a small brown hat, beckoning and pausing below, like a clown. Why is Xindao this nasty guy again? wiped his nose, frowned and said, "You go away!" I hate you! ”
