Chapter 123: A Storm Rises Out of Thin Air
It's night, and the moon is shining. The moon is close to the full moon, and only one ou remains, just like the pessimistic clutch in the world, it is difficult to see a very complete thing.
Luo Dong'er quietly turned into the granary of Ding Mansion from the back door left by Ding Hao, and said breathlessly: "Brother Hao, fortunately, several brothers from my mother-in-law's family came to help dig the well, and I will live at home tonight, there is not enough space, my mother-in-law sent me to Aunt Liu's house to borrow it, otherwise I really can't be free, but I can't delay for a long time." ”
Ding Hao took her hand and said, "Dong'er, then I'll make a long story short." I ought to have consulted with you on this matter and heard what you meant. But...... I thought about it carefully for a long time, and I really didn't want to stay in the Ding family. This Ding family compound ...... It always seems that there is an invisible yin qi, which makes people breathless. I want to get out of here and go to Hirohara Outreach. Cheng Shixiong, the defense envoy of Guangyuan, admired me a lot. Moreover, I saved his only son, just with this kindness, we are not afraid of having no place to stay, would you like to go with me? ”
"I ...... I ......"
Luo Dong'er lowered her head and said softly: "The slave family is already your person, no matter the ends of the world, you should accompany you." But ......"
She raised her head and said in a panic: "But how can the people talk about my mother-in-law, I am so scared when I see her, I ...... I'm not afraid of death, but I don't even dare to say anything in front of her...... Can't we elope? ”
Luo Dong'er cried out anxiously: "Brother Hao, aren't people very useless......"
"No, Dong'er is very brave", Ding Hao gently wiped away the tears on her face, and said softly: "A person who is not afraid of death is just an outlaw, and he is not commendable." In a person's heart, there are some things that make him more afraid than death, and he dare not offend, then this person is really amazing. ”
He gently hugged Dong'er's weak body, took her cat-like in his arms, and said softly: "You don't have to worry, I won't let you go with me without a name or a part, and the negotiation with Dong Li's family, I will come, both soft and hard, and always force her to comply." Tomorrow, I'll talk to Liu Shiyi, it's best to settle this matter calmly, and then let's go away together. I don't dare to promise to follow me, I will let you be clothed and fed, but I promise that I will treat you well and never let you suffer the slightest bit because of me! ”
"Hmm!" Luo Dong'er nodded heavily, wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "People follow you, even if you eat bran and swallow vegetables, no matter how hard you live, your heart is also happy." ”
Ding Hao smiled and said: "Who said that my Dong'er can't say love words, this is the most intoxicating love words for men......"
At this time, an exclamation suddenly came from the courtyard of Ding Chengzong's house.
Because Ding Chengzong's legs were broken and there were not enough people waiting, Miss Yuan'er, who had just been transferred, was busy for an afternoon, and at this time she was already tired and sleeping, and she hurriedly got up when she heard the voice. She rubbed her eyes softly, and saw that Sister Lan'er, who was in the same room, had already put on her clothes and hurriedly walked to the door with a lamp. Miss Yuan'er asked anxiously, "Lan'er, what's wrong?" ”
Lan'er didn't look back and said, "I don't know, it seems to be the voice of the young lady, I'll take a look." ”
When Yuan'er heard this, he hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the ground, put on his shoes, and hurriedly chased out.
Ding Chengzong's illness is very serious, but he doesn't have to worry about further deterioration, and he has always fallen asleep, except for feeding some liquid food and waiting for drowning, he usually doesn't come to make trouble, but the young lady Lu Xiangyun waited for him for a long time, and then rested in the study, and the scream came from the study.
As she walked, Miss Xiaoyuan thought, "What is the young lady's name, did she have a nightmare or was she frightened by a mouse?" ”
When she arrived at the study, the door was hidden, and a line of light appeared in the crack of the door, Miss Xiaoyuan pushed the door and looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim, and hurriedly covered her lips with her hands, and her apricot eyes widened.
I saw the young lady sitting on the couch in her dirty clothes and trousers, her hair was scattered, her cheeks were full of tears, and Lan'er was standing on the side, hugging one of the young lady's arms and saying something with relief. Look at the young lady's disheveled appearance, and the dirty clothes have been torn apart, revealing white and greasy skin, this situation is ...... This is the case...... Could it be ...... Miss Xiaoyuan couldn't help but rush forward and asked, "Young lady, are you ...... What's wrong with you? ”
Mrs. Lu didn't answer, just covered her face with her hands and wept. On the side, Miss Lan'er blushed, gritted her teeth and said, "Our Ding family has never had such a ugly thing. The eldest young master has just been sick and lying on the couch, and there is a bold and unscrupulous subordinate who bullies the housewife, young lady, don't cry, let's go to the master to call the shots! ”
Miss Xiaoyuan couldn't help but be shocked and angry when she heard this: "Who is this, so bold!" ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※, "Who is that man, and have you seen his face?" ”
Ding Tingxun was saddened by his son's misfortunes one after another, tossing and turning, and just after he felt sleepy, he got the news that someone sneaked into the eldest daughter-in-law's room and wanted to do wrong, and he was so angry that his face turned pale. Lu Xiangwu sat sideways on the chair, covered his face with a handkerchief, cried, and just shook his head.
Ding Tingxun was like a trapped beast, turning back and forth for a long time, and said angrily: "What's the use of you just crying, but talking." ”
Frightened by him, Lu Xiangwu didn't dare to cry anymore, so she had to whisper: "Daughter-in-law...... The daughter-in-law had turned off the lights at that time, and she couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, so the man lowered her voice again and only said...... only said that the official has become a wasted person, so that the daughter-in-law might as well obey him, be a real husband and wife, and ...... Jolly...... Woo woo, that person is foul language, and the daughter-in-law really can't learn it......"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu Shao shed tears again, and said in a choked voice: "The daughter-in-law was so frightened that she was paralyzed at the beginning, and when he bullied her and wanted to strip her daughter-in-law's clothes, the daughter-in-law woke up and resisted desperately, and only ripped off a corner of his shirt during the fight, and the man fled in a panic when he heard me shouting." ”
At this time, Lan'er said timidly on the side: "Master, servant...... The maid heard the young lady screaming in panic, and hurriedly got up and rushed to check with the lamp, and the maid ...... When the maid went out of the house, she saw a figure flash into the night, and the figure ...... The figure resembles ...... It's like a man......"
Ding Tingxun turned around, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Who does it look like?" ”
Lan'er knelt on the ground with a "porphyr" sound, and kowtowed again and again: "The maid has no evidence, and I don't know if I have seen the wrong person, I really don't dare to say it, I beg the master to ......."
Ding Tingxun stepped in front of her and said fiercely: "Speak! ”
Lan'er trembled, didn't dare to get up, and said in a trembling voice: "That figure...... Resemble...... It's like a steward. ”
Ding Tingxun was like a thunderbolt on his head, staggered two steps, and was held up by Yan Jiuyi. Lan'er's words came out, and everyone in the room was silent for a while, and the silence was terrifying.
"Steward Ding? Ding Hao? Is it, it's ...... He? ”
Lan'er kowtowed to the ground again and again, not daring to make another sound, Ding Tingxun's mind was full of thoughts, and after thinking about it, there was really no second suspicious character except Ding Hao. Ding Hao often goes in and out of Zong'er's residence, and is naturally most familiar with the grass and trees and the layout of the house, and only he can enter the house in the night and come and go freely.
Ding Hao rejected a pure and virtuous woman from a good family like the four girls of the Liu family, and pursued the little lady of the Dong family, a beautiful widow who had been married, and clearly liked fishing. Zong'er had the heart to persuade him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and treat him like a brother, and his daughter-in-law was instructed by Zong'er, and she was also amiable to him, never treating him as a slave, and her daughter-in-law's beauty was not to be said, this thief ...... Therefore, the thief mistakenly thought that his daughter-in-law was interested in him, and it was very likely that he had delusions. ”
Ding Tingxun looked at it in a blink of an eye, and saw that his son Ding Chengye was so angry that his face turned red, his fists were clenched, and his eyes looked at him, almost wanting to burst out of fire, if he didn't care about his father, he would have rushed out of the room to find Ding Hao to settle accounts. Looking at her daughter-in-law again, her cheeks were pale, her cheekbones were red like fire, her hair was messy, and her eyes were full of tears. The little maid Lan'er knelt on the ground, she didn't dare to come out, she had no doubts at the moment, gritted her teeth and said: "Ye'er, your sister-in-law has been humiliated by her subordinates, and now her father wants you to take someone to catch Ding Hao back, don't go quickly!" ”
"Yes!" Ding Chengye raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Daddy, don't worry, sister-in-law don't cry, the second brother will definitely arrest the shameless villain and listen to your disposal." "Then lift your legs and go.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Ding Hao and Luo Dong'er were talking in the warehouse, and suddenly heard a commotion in the distance, the two of them are now identities, and the private tryst was unsightly, but now that Dong Li is back, Luo Dong'er is even more like a frightened bird, and he immediately felt a little frightened.
Ding Hao hurriedly climbed the ladder to a high place to take a look, only to see strings of torches lit up everywhere, which was actually a weather that Ding Mansion had never had, and he didn't know what was going on for a while. He hurriedly came down the ladder, and Luo Dong'er hurriedly caught up and said, "Brother Hao, what happened?" ”
Ding Hao shook his head and said, "I don't know, the torches are lit up everywhere, and they seem to be looking for something." ”
Luo Dong'er's face was frightened, and he said with fear: "Brother Hao, could it be that Liu Shiyi has another incident?" ”
Ding Hao thought for a moment and said, "There is no news now, so why bother with suspicion." This is a granary, and the torches cannot easily enter, so I will send you away first, otherwise, once the family members disperse, you will not be able to leave. ”
At that moment, Ding Hao took Luo Dong'er's hand and walked out of the granary, only to hear the noise everywhere, and he couldn't hear what he was shouting from a distance, fortunately, no one came in front of him, Ding Hao immediately took Luo Dong'er's hand and touched the back door under the cover of the shadow of the building.
In the distance, Liu Shiyi led some people, holding torches, and when they arrived near the granary, they shouted loudly: "Put out the torches, there are only a few lanterns left, go to the granary and search for it, be careful for me, the fire and candles must be watched." ”
It turned out that Ding Chengye brought someone, rushed to Ding Hao's room first, kicked open the door and rushed in, and saw that Ding Hao was not in the bedroom at all, and couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart: "That's good, the thief is not in the bedroom, and this experience is even more difficult to explain." ”
Ding Chengye took advantage of the chaos of the black people at night, threw the torn corner of the clothes in the room, ordered people to light torches to arrest people everywhere, and he flashed out of the dark to find the pig. This person must die!
When he saw a group of Dingfu family members and a gang, they ran around happily, saying that they were going to catch some thief, and they hurriedly picked up a dung fork from the corner of the wall and followed them like headless flies.
Ding Chengzong was a step late because he wanted to avoid the subordinates in his house, and when he saw him mixed with everyone, he couldn't help but be secretly anxious. Zhen Zhu'er followed the "leading brother" and walked wildly for a while, unable to hold back, and then asked: "Brother Gao, who are we going to arrest, there are thieves crawling in the Zhuangzi?" ”
That big brother Gao is Ding Ershao's cronies, his surname is Gao, and he is the one who wanted to bypass Dong Xiaoniang and send the grain to his brother in the second year of high school. He knew that Zhen Zhu'er had always been good friends with Ding Hao, so when he heard this, he gloated and said, "Hehe, there is a thief, but ...... It's not an external thief, but an internal thief from our Ding family. ”
Zhen Zhu'er was taken aback and said, "Inner thief, which one is it?" What did you steal? ”
Gao Da smiled and said: "This thief is your good brother Ding Hao, he is a thief, he is so bold that he actually stole to the young lady's couch, do you think he should die?" ”
"What?" Zhen Zhu'er stood up in shock, blushing and shouting: "This is impossible, my dumb brother is not that kind of person." ”
"You know what kind of person he is? You said it wasn't him, it was the dead of night, why didn't he sleep in his room, and now he must have fled with a weak heart. ”
Gao Da sneered after speaking, tore open his throat and shouted: "Search me carefully, I caught someone, and the second young master has a heavy reward." ”
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, taking advantage of the strength of their search, he didn't go forward with a dung fork, but retreated, peeked into a gap and ran away, and went straight to Ding Hao's residence. Ding Zongye, who was secretly following him, was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately dodged and followed.
Before Zhen Zhu'er ran to Ding Hao's residence, she saw Lan'er and Xiaoyuan girl coming from the front, each holding a few sets of clothes, Zhen Zhu'er immediately threw the dung fork, stepped forward to stop her and said, "Lan'er, what are you doing here?" ”
Lan'er said with a straight face: "On the orders of the master, take some things, what are you doing blocking me?" ”
Miss Xiaoyuan knew that Sister Lan'er had always been good with Zhu'er, and it was strange that the two of them were not eyebrows and eyes at this moment, so she couldn't help but stop.
Zhen Zhu'er said: "Lan'er, what happened in the back house?" How can I say that my dumb brother stole and raped the young lady? Dumb, that's the kind of person you are. ”
Lan'er turned her head to Xiao Yuan and said, "You send the things back first, so as not to make the master wait for a long time." ”
Lan'er said and put the clothes into Xiao Yuan's arms, grabbed Zhen Zhu'er's wrist, pulled him aside, and said in a coquettish voice: "You rammer, you really don't know your brain, now that the lord is angry, who dares to speak for Ding Hao, what is your identity, and you still want to be strong." If the master drives you out, no one needs to chase the servants, can you still live on the ground of this Bazhou, how are you going to let the family be good at that time? ”
