Chapter 5: The Snake and Scorpion Woman

The backyard of Yin's Mansion is still deserted, but tonight there is a night breeze, and the leaves are rustling by the wind, and Xiao San can't help but shiver.

"It's cold! I knew that I would wear an extra one when the wind started tonight, so let's quickly pull it out and go back! Xiao San was talking to himself and was about to pull ginseng, when suddenly there were footsteps in front of him.

Xiao San quickly hid behind a large rock pile.

"Yin Jiu, did I bring all the manpower you prepared?" Zhou said.

"Mrs. Hui is all here," Yin Jiu replied respectfully with a wave of his hands.

"That's good, that's good," Zhou nodded with satisfaction and looked at Yin Jiu and said, "Yin Jiu!" How Mrs. Ben treats you. ”

Yin Jiu hurriedly knelt down, clasped his hands into fists and said loudly: "Madame treats Yin Jiu as kind as a mountain, even if Yin Jiu dies, it will be difficult to repay Madame's great kindness." ”

"Hurry up, hurry up," Zhou stepped forward to help Yin Jiu and said, "Mrs. Ben doesn't need you to die, as long as you do something." ”

"If there is anything to Yin Jiu do, Madame just command." Yin Jiu did not hesitate at all.

Zhou turned around, turned his back to Yin Jiu and whispered, "There is a young man named Hua'an in Wangjiazhuang more than ten miles away, do you know. ”

"Could it be the Hua'an that the second son said today," Yin Jiu hurriedly asked.

"En," Zhou nodded.

"I know, I know," Yin Jiu hurriedly said: "I heard that he is a great child, smart and filial and has a very good reputation, and the children of the entire Wangjiazhuang are the only ones who look forward to him." ”

When Zhou Shi heard this, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he suddenly turned around and stared at Yin Jiuyin and said, "Then I can't keep him." ”

Yin Jiu was stunned and said in surprise: "Could it be that Madame wants Yin Jiu to come today to kill this Hua'an,"

"Yes, and even his parents will be solved." Zhou's eyes are even more powerful.

"What should I do, they want to kill Brother Hua An," Xiao San covered his mouth and tried his best to suppress his breathing, and his heart was pounding.

"Could it be that just because the second son broke his leg from the donkey, Madame is going to kill Hua An'an's family?" Yin Jiu seemed to be a little confused.

"Breaking my leg is secondary, the important thing is that I heard a little clue from Jian'er's words that I don't want to hear, my niece Yunhui seems to have a little affection for that Hua'an, so I excited Jian'er to ride that kid's donkey, and then it fell down for no reason, a woman's heart is always difficult to figure out, especially Cardamom's age is easy to be confused by some people and things, Mrs. Ben is worried that if Yunhui falls in love with a poor boy, not only will she lose the face of my mother's family Zhou in Yixing County, but also ruin my family's Jian'er's marriage, It has also destroyed the plan of the Zhou and Yin families to get close to each other, for the sake of our Yin family, Mrs. Ben must not let this kind of thing happen, even if it only shows a little clue. "Zhou didn't hide anything in front of this subordinate.

"When to do it, please make it clear to Mrs." Yin Jiu was not verbose.

"In another hour, when it's late at night, I'll do it, and then set a fire to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces......" Zhou stretched out his right hand and made a decapitation motion.

"Yes, madam, Yin Jiu will go and prepare." Yin Jiu clenched his hands into fists and retreated deeply.

"Hua'an! Hua'an, don't blame Mrs. Ben for being ruthless, if you want to blame, blame you for not meeting Yun Hui. The corners of Zhou's mouth sneered slightly, and he said to himself.

"Brother Hua An, you'll be fine." Xiao San covered his mouth with his left hand and pressed his right hand on his chest to keep it as quiet as possible. After Zhou left, he rushed back to Wangjiazhuang as fast as he could.

"Knock knock, knock knock,"

Xiao San was panting, and his mouth was dry because he was running all the way, and his throat couldn't shout at the moment, only kept knocking on the door.

Hua An lay on the bed and didn't fall asleep, he heard the knock on the door and hurriedly got up from the bed, and ran out before he had time to put on his shoes, he believed that it must be Xiao San knocking on the door, I don't know how much this kid has gained tonight.

Hua An ran out and opened the door to take a look, sure enough, it was Xiao San, but the Xiao San in front of him was sweating profusely, sticking out his tongue and panting violently, seeing Hua An coming out and hurriedly pointing to his mouth.

Hua'an Huiyi hurriedly scooped a scoop of water from the water tank and handed it to Xiao San.

"Goo-goo-goo......... cough, cough, cough ......cough, "Because the drink was too urgent, Xiao San choked and coughed."

"Little San, something happened in the middle of the night." Hearing this, Needle Niang and Huagui put on a piece of clothing and walked out of the house and asked with concern.

"Brother Hua An, uncle, aunt, run away! Someone is going to kill you, woo woo ......" Xiao San said and cried.

Needle Niang's eyes widened, she squatted down, held Xiao San and asked in surprise, "Child, who did you listen to?"

"It was the wife of the Yin family who said it to a person named Yin Jiu in the backyard, I heard it with my own ears in the backyard of the Yin family, they should arrive in an hour, you guys run away!" Xiao San said anxiously.

"How so? We have no grievances with the Yin family, child, you won't have nightmares! The needle girl was suspicious, and her expression looked a little flustered.

When Hua An heard this, he immediately understood that he must have thrown Yin Ergongzi off the donkey during the day, but because of such a trivial matter, he killed my whole family, this woman is too vicious! There is still another hidden situation, but we have no grievances with the Yin family in the past, and we have never had any contact with each other, except for this matter, Hua An really can't think of anything else that can make a middle-aged woman use such a big killing opportunity. Could it be that this is the so-called femme fatale, it is really vicious, Hua An unconsciously felt a chill in his back.

"Hua'an, what kind of trouble have you caused again, you are so strict," Needle Niang guessed that Hua'an was in trouble. said in a panic: "Why don't my mother and you go to Yin's mansion to apologize, please beg Mrs. Yin!" ”

Hua An smiled miserably: "To go to Yin's Mansion now is to go to the Netherworld Mansion, since Mrs. Yin has made up her mind to kill us, she will not be soft-hearted, why bother to throw herself into the net?" ”

"Then what can we do, the world is so big, but where can we flee to?" The needle girl looked desperate.

The more dangerous the situation, the more important it is to stay calm, a calm approach to the problem may save the day, and a manic situation can make it worse.

"Father, mother, we have to go now, thirty-six plans to go is the best plan, we can't stay here and wait for death." Hua An took out an adult tone and said unquestionably.

"Son! This is our home, and everyone we know lives in this village, where can we go after leaving? ”

"Mother think carefully about whether there are any relatives who live far away," Hua An reminded slightly.

"Nope!" Needle Niang shook her head, and suddenly her eyes flashed, and she said leisurely: "My mother's hometown was originally in Pengcheng, and there was a distant sister who married into Langya County. Later, the Central Plains was occupied by the Hu people, and my sister and brother-in-law fled to Jiangnan. But my mother and that sister only met a few times when they were children, and they were distant relatives, and they had not been in touch for so many years, and they couldn't remember their appearances.

"Situ, what a great official!"

Hua'an was taken aback, although Hua'an is not an expert and scholar who is proficient in history, and can be familiar with every piece of history, but at least he can know a rough idea, it is now the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when there is a saying that 'the king and the horse share the world' Ma is the royal family of the dynasty, and the king is the Langya Wang, Langya Wang has an indelible contribution to the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Dao as the person with the greatest contribution to the Langya Wang, was named Situ by the imperial court, if the history has not changed, then the Situ that the mother said must be Wang Dao undoubtedly.

As the so-called blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, bad things may become good things under certain circumstances, if you are lucky enough to really enter Situ Mansion, you will be able to increase a lot of knowledge, maybe you can change your destiny, Huaan believes in his ability, as long as he has the opportunity to rise to the top and become a pillar of a country. Not only for money and reputation, but also for 'the people of the world, live and work in peace and contentment'.

Hua An calmed down and looked at the panicked needle girl, plucked up the confidence and said calmly: "Father, mother, you hurry up and prepare some necessary softness, I will lead the donkey, whether the aunt recognizes us or not, we have to try, this is our only way out, we don't expect to be a guest in her house, even if we are a subordinate to do rough work, there is nothing wrong with it, and when An'er grows up, I will build a new home for my father and mother." ”

Hua'an's parents are both croppers who do their duty, and they usually live honestly, and they haven't encountered any major events, but now they don't seem to have any opinions when they encounter sudden changes, so they can only do what Hua'an said.

Needle Niang hurriedly sorted out a large bag of clothes and a bag of dry food, plus three umbrellas, Huagui carried a square box full of various carpenter's tools, and in his hand held a long wooden box that Hua'an had never seen before, which looked very heavy.

Hua An led the donkey and looked at Xiao San and said, "We are leaving now, Xiao San, I have one more thing to ask you to help with." ”。

"Brother Hua An, don't hesitate to say anything about it," Xiao San looked full of righteousness.

"Staying a little longer will be more dangerous, let's talk as we go!" Hua An said and took the lead and led the donkey quietly to the outside of Zhuangzi, and Xiao San followed closely behind.

"Little San, there are only two roads leading to the outside of our Wangjiazhuang, one road leads to the town where the Yin family is located, and the other leads to the capital, and the road leading to the capital is far away, if they chase after them on horseback, we can't run away at all, only if they think we are all dead, we can escape." Hua An looked back at Xiao San and said seriously: "There is a fork in the road ten miles ahead that leads to the adjacent Zhuangzi, this road goes to two hundred steps and there is a cliff, you will lead the donkey to this road, and when you see someone riding a horse chasing after you, you will whip the donkey's buttocks, so that the donkey's cry will attract them, and when they chase closer, you can drive the donkey off the cliff, and then you will find a place to hide, and then go home when they are far away, remember"

"Oh, I remember, Brother Hua An" Xiao San nodded.

At the fork in the road ahead, Hua An handed the green donkey and whip to Xiao San's hand, and said reluctantly: Xiao San, my brother is gone, you have to take care of yourself!

"Brother Hua An, when will we meet again, and can we still play together in the future?" Xiao San took the green donkey, looked at Hua An with tears in his eyes and said.

"Yes, Xiao San, you can rest assured, I, Hua An, swear to God, I will definitely come back, we have always been good brothers" Hua An held Xiao San's hand and was reluctant to let go for a while.

"Brother Hua'an, go all the way, I will always miss you," Xiao San shouted loudly with teary eyes as he stood alone leading the donkey at the fork in the road facing Hua An's direction where they were going.

"Little San, my brother will miss you too, take care!" Hua An turned around to meet the moonlight and saw a young man leading a donkey standing there alone, tears streaming down his eyes.

"Brother, take care." Xiao San beckoned to Hua'an.

Hua An wiped his tears and didn't look back.

Xiao San came to this era by himself, the first playmate since he could walk, two people have the same interests, similar age, as long as they are together, they can always get happiness from each other, because they play together every day, so they don't feel how important each other is in their minds, but they are about to separate at the moment, and they don't know when they can see each other again, and suddenly there is a heart-rending pain entwined in the hearts of two people, feelings are really strange, when they are together, they can't feel it, once they are separated, there will be a deep nostalgia, even pain.

"Ninth Master, there is no one in the house,"

"Ninth Master, the donkey in the donkey shed is also gone."

Two masked subordinates stood in front of Yin Jiu and said.

"Strange, who leaked the news" Yin Jiu frowned and looked at the two subordinates.

"Could it be that you happened to be out of the house," said one of his men.

"Absolutely not," another subordinate affirmed, "The subordinate touched it just now, and the bed is still warm." ”

"That is, not long after walking, there are two roads out of the village, one is the one we walked when we came, if we took this road, we should have bumped into it just now, it must be the other one, get on the horse, chase." Yin Jiu said as he stepped on horseback and took the lead in chasing out, followed by two of his subordinates.

######

"Drive, drive,"

The sound of horseback riding could be heard in the distance.

Xiao San raised his eyes and saw three fast horses galloping under the moonlight.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Xiao San raised his whip and whipped hard on the donkey's buttocks.

"Gege, Gege......" the green donkey cried out as he was pumped.

"Ninth Master, you heard the voice of a donkey, it must be them." One of his subordinates said.

Yin Jiu raised his eyes and could vaguely see a donkey, and there seemed to be a vague figure beside the donkey.

"It must be them, hurry up and catch up with them." Yin Jiu could almost determine that it was Hua'an and them in front.
