Chapter 109: The Human Heart
I don't know how long it was, Lin Wanrong woke up slowly, but saw that the eldest lady was looking at him with blazing eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Lin Wanrong yawned and said, "Miss, what time is it, oh, what time is it?" ”
He had nothing on him except for a few taels of silver and the Spring Palace picture album he carried with him, and he traveled lightly and slept very comfortably. Yesterday, in order to reassure the eldest lady, the thief leader did not even search Lin Wanrong's body, and only ordered the two of them.
Both of them were locked in the car, unable to move, and the car was not transparent, just to know what time it was, but it was also a difficult thing. When the eldest lady saw that he was awake, she said, "I don't know when, but at least four hours have passed." ”
"How do you know?" Lin Wanrong said.
The eldest lady blushed and said: "My daily rest time is no more than four hours, and when the time comes, I will automatically wake up." ”
It turned out to be a biological clock, Lin Wanrong nodded, if this is the case, doesn't that mean that they have been walking for four hours since they left the city? Where is the bandit leader taking them? Walked so far? And judging from the shape of this carriage, it seems to be climbing a mountain.
was thinking about it, but saw that the curtain of the car was lifted, and the bandit leader and another woman entered the car and carried the two of them out of the car.
The eldest lady is okay, Lin Wanrong was carried in the hands of this senior brother, but she showed no mercy and caught him painfully. Damn, Lao Tzu castrated you sooner or later, Lin Wanrong scolded in her heart.
When he got out of the car, Lin Wanrong fixed his eyes and saw that the place he was in at this time was halfway up the mountainside. This mountain is also tall, and from a distance, it seems that you can't see the top.
In the early winter morning, the fog slowly rises. Surrounding this mountainside, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but feel a chill. Look at the eldest lady again. It was also overwhelmed by the cold, her body trembled, and when she saw Lin Wanrong looking at her gently, her eyes were red. But he held back and didn't let the tears fall.
This group of white lotus bandits took the two of them and went straight to the mountain, and when they reached the top of the mountain, their eyes were full of scenery, and they were on the top of the mountain. There are several rows of houses, hidden in the green hills and green trees, if you don't look closely. You won't notice. Seeing that these thieves seemed to be familiar with this place, Lin Wanrong knew that this must be their temporary nest**.
The senior brother of the thief said to Xiao Yuruo: "Miss, since this is the case, I will wronged you for a few days and stay here for the time being." When the Xiao family raises enough of the 10,000 taels of gold, I will let you out. ”
Damn, it's better to say than to sing, if it's that simple, why did you go to all the trouble to get us here? Lin Wanrong would definitely not say this thought in her heart, and now her life is still in the hands of others.
There are very few houses on this hill. The thief leader arranged Lin Wanrong and the eldest lady in two connected places. The eldest lady was placed in a large room, but it was two rooms, inside and outside, although simple, but with all kinds of bedding. Lin Wanrong's room was nothing.
Lin Wanrong snorted in her heart, damn, these White Lotus bandits are also looking down on people, one day, Lao Tzu will destroy you.
Between the two cells, there is an iron barricade that leads to it, but it is locked and cannot be opened. In this way, the two can see each other across the fence, but they can't get together, Lin Wanrong always feels a little weird. Xiao Yuruo's face was also red, such an arrangement seemed to be the two of them living in the same room, but now that the two of them are being imprisoned, what else can they ask for?
These two cells were made of large stones, and apart from the main entrance, there was not even a single window, and it was completely impossible to escape. Above the main entrance, there was a small hole, and the people who were watching looked at it from time to time, Lin Wanrong had infinite magical powers, and there was nowhere to hide.
It's really dead, Lin Wanrong sat on the ground with a little frustration. At the same time, he also remembered the note sent by Qin Xian'er yesterday, and remembered that the girl had reminded him earlier that she was leaving the Xiao family, but she was busy making perfume at that time, but she didn't notice these things. Yesterday was unfortunate, he kept busy in the perfume workshop, the Xiao family's compound and the restaurant, and he didn't receive such important information.
Damn, this is the evil result of poor information, is there a man-made mobile phone, Lao Tzu went to buy him a dozen. He was lustful in his heart for a while.
Judging from the current situation, Qin Xian'er must have something to do with this White Lotus Sect, but she has repeatedly warned her, but she also seems to be very affectionate.
Lin Wanrong deeply reflected that this incident, on the one hand, was due to poor information, but on the other hand, it was also related to her lack of self-protection ability.
Speaking of self-preservation, he remembered Xiao Qingxuan's superb skills, if possible, it was best to find two bodyguards with skills like her, then there was nothing to fear. I just don't know how much silver it takes to hire such a bodyguard. He knew that Xiao Qingxuan was of noble birth and lived in Jinling temporarily, if he wanted to ask her to be his bodyguard, it would be impossible, but it shouldn't be wrong to ask her to recommend a few people with similar skills to her.
Lin Wanrong thought it was very beautiful, but she didn't know that Xiao Qingxuan was the top person in the rivers and lakes, not to mention that those who could compare with her were those who had her eight successful husbands, which were also rare.
Lin Wanrong is now in a dangerous situation, and her martial arts are not as good as others, so she can only use her brains. Thinking about the robbery this time, this bandit of the White Lotus Sect obviously came prepared, not only captured the eldest lady, but also seemed to be interested in himself. And what is there about them that deserves their interest?
Is it because Lao Tzu is too handsome and has the qualifications to be a cowherd? It's disgusting to think about.
He focused his eyes on his enemy again, and he had some dislike with that Cheng Duannian, but there was no real conflict, not to mention that it was because of Qin Xian'er that he would never be involved with the Xiao family.
The other person is Tao Dongcheng, who has had conflicts, but is related to the Xiao family, and only this surname is Tao. But this Tao Dongcheng's father is made in Suzhou, and he is just a cloth merchant, how can he have anything to do with this White Lotus Sect? And I, Lin San, am just a little familyman, and I have a few words of fighting with him, can he use the White Lotus Sect? Besides. If you really don't like me, wouldn't it be nice to kill me on the spot, why bother inviting me here?
The eldest lady saw that he had not spoken for a long time, as if she was pondering something, she was now in a prison cell, sitting bored, and only this disgusting family mate accompanied her, it could be regarded as a little less lonely.
"Lin San, you, what are you thinking?" The eldest lady rarely asked him first. I'm still a little unaccustomed to this.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Miss, you rarely have such a leisurely time." ”
Xiao Yuruo was stunned for a moment, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Indeed." It seems like it's been a long time since I've sat so quietly. "As the head of the Xiao family, since she was fifteen or sixteen years old, she has been busy worrying about the affairs of the Xiao family all day long, and she has long lost the leisure and leisure of sitting and boring. She could only smile wryly.
"Miss, a person's life is not only work, there are many beautiful things worth doing, for example, family, family, these are more important than work, don't push yourself too hard, learn to relax, learn to enjoy. Human life is short. If there is no happiness, then it is in vain. Lin Wanrong said calmly.
"Hmph, you don't know where so many emotions come from." The eldest lady snorted. It is indeed very useful in my heart, but I feel that he is very aware of these words. Just looking at his calm face, isn't he afraid? This vicious family is always incomprehensible.
"A person's life must go through many different kinds of suffering. Just like this time, don't think too much about it, just think of it as a short journey, and it's good to be over. Lin Wanrong persuaded her.
The eldest lady thought his theory was very strange, so she retorted, "Then aren't you afraid? ”
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid." Lin Wanrong generously admitted: "Everyone will be afraid of death, which is normal, but fear can't change the facts." ”
Xiao Yuruo snorted, knowing that what he said was also the truth, and suddenly remembered something and said, "Lin San, were you with Yushuang yesterday?" ”
Lin Wanrong looked at her mix, and knew what she was going to say, but after what happened last night, it was impossible for him to leave the little girl behind. He didn't answer her words, but asked, "Eldest Miss, you are the sister of Second Miss, but do you really know her?" ”
Xiao Yuruo said: "I grew up with her since I was a child, of course I know her. She's still a child, so don't hurt her anymore. ”
Lin Wanrong frowned and said, "Miss, I don't like to hear you say this. I have never harmed the second lady, not before, and not in the future. Originally, before yesterday, I was just like you, thinking that she was still a child who had not grown up, but later I found out that I was very wrong, and I underestimated her. She worries about her mother and sister every day, prays for the Xiao family every day, and can sacrifice her life for the sake of someone she likes. ”
Xiao Yuruo was about to speak, but Lin Wanrong waved her hand to stop her and said, "To be honest, eldest miss, if it weren't for the second lady treating me well, I would never have taken care of your Xiao family's affairs." ”
Hearing him talk to himself in this tone, Xiao Yuruo was very angry in his heart, but he saw that his expression was flat, which was completely different from his usual evil appearance, which made people feel a little afraid in their hearts. The eldest lady was shocked, how could he change so much, I still like to talk to him like that.
"This, Lin San, let's not talk about this. Now we're in a circle, and it's a loss of interest to say that. Xiao Yuruo said weakly.
"Not only is he in prison, but he can also be regarded as a lonely man and a widow living in the same room. Miss, this is a blessing for us to cultivate in three lives. Lin Wanrong seemed to have regained her original personality, and she was struggling again.
The eldest lady's heart trembled slightly, he said this well, between the two, although there is an iron door that cannot be opened, but it has more of a charming atmosphere, but seeing him laughing at himself like this, Xiao Yuruo was very angry, and said angrily: "Lin San, you are less than me, if you talk like this again, I will, I will-"
"You're going to move out, aren't you?" Lin Wanrong said happily, in this room, it is very interesting to see the angry appearance of this proud eldest lady.
The eldest lady's face turned red, and she snorted, and ignored him.
"Has the Tao family looked for you again recently, eldest miss?" Lin Wanrong's voice calmed down again, and fell into the ears of the eldest lady, but she felt that there was a sense of wisdom in this voice.
Xiao Yuruo didn't know what he was asking for, so he replied: "You haven't looked for me, and you haven't mentioned the matter of the joint venture." ”
Since Tao Dongcheng confessed, he has never looked for the Xiao family, and he has not mentioned the joint venture? This thing seems a little strange, and the calmer the Tao family is, the more extraordinary it is behind this matter.
"Does the Tao family know about the underwear cheongsam recently launched by the Xiao family?" Lin Wanrong asked as he slowly stamped around in his cell.
Xiao Yushuang leaned against the iron window, saw his movements, and said in his heart, is this how you can come up with eyebrows, just seeing that he frowned, he didn't feel a sense of resistance, and only said: "These things are spread ten, ten are passed on hundreds, I think they should also know." ”
Lin Wanrong stopped, a hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes, and she said word by word: "Do they also know about the perfume?" ”
Xiao Yuruo saw the evil aura looming between his eyebrows, and suddenly felt a little frightened in her heart, only to feel that Lin San at this time was very far away from her, she was not willing to weaken her name before Lin San, and hummed: "Where will I know?" ”
Seeing Lin San's eyes staring at her coldly, she couldn't help but weaken, and said softly: "How can these things be hidden from others, we want to sell that perfume, they will naturally know." She suddenly realized something, and said in shock: "Are you suspicious of that Tao Dongcheng?" ”
Seeing that Lin Wanrong was silent, Xiao Yuruo frowned and said: "Although I don't have a deep relationship with this Tao Gongzi, this Tao Gongzi treats people kindly, and he is an official eunuch family, how can he get involved with this demon of the White Lotus Sect after being famous." Don't speculate on people's hearts. ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Lin Wanrong's mouth: "People's hearts? In this world, the most difficult thing to figure out is the word human heart. ”
He let out a long sigh and shook his head, "Damn, if this is really as it is, it won't be easy.
The two of them were imprisoned in the room for a day and a night, until the next evening, when the door of Lin Wanrong's cell opened, and a White Lotus disciple shouted outside, "Lin San, come out." ”
It's coming, it's coming, is it coming? Lin Wanrong smiled coldly, got up and walked out.
Xiao Yuruo seemed to realize something, and hurriedly called: "Lin San, don't you go-" Lin Wanrong turned around, smiled at her, and took a big step and went out.
