Chapter 15: A Broken Arm
After a while, Jiang Long suddenly asked, "You don't know where she is on an errand?" ”
The treasure bottle mouth was fast, and immediately continued: "There are so many maids and servants in our Jing Mansion, where can the slaves and maids recognize them all." ”
Yuchai also nodded.
These two Yahuan are illiterate, and of course they can't count, and they can't say an accurate number for the number of servants in Jingfu.
I just know that there are a lot of them.
"What does the little young master care about her?"
Yuchai finally found that Jiang Long had been staring at the back of Yahuan leaving, a little surprised, and said coquettishly.
"That's it, that girl is dry and thin, and her face is also very dark." The vase also muttered quietly.
Jiang Long retracted his gaze, and a smile appeared on his face again, "Yes, yes, where is she beautiful and lovely with jade hairpins and treasure bottles?" ”
Hearing the praise, the two tender-skinned maids stomped their feet, secretly happy in their hearts, but they didn't notice that Jiang Long's smile was mixed with something else.
Jiang Long had followed two masters before he crossed over, and practiced kung fu for more than 20 years, especially the second master Ma taught him to steal, looking for those who looked like fat sheep on the street to steal his wallet, how keen was his eyesight?
When the girl fell down and crawled up randomly, he clearly saw a few abrupt lights shining between his palms.
He was sure that the blinding glow should be the sunlight reflected by the dagger.
The pavilions in the lake are connected by pontoon bridges, which are made up of wooden planks tied together with ropes.
The buoyancy is not enough if there are only wooden planks, and the ropes are very tight, tied to the wooden stakes laid at the corners of the two pavilions, and also play a great role in carrying pedestrians on the pontoon, so that people do not step on the planks and sink and soak the legs of shoes and pantyhose.
Cut the rope and cause me to fall overboard?
Jiang Long guessed the other party's conspiracy in an instant.
The load-bearing capacity of the pontoon bridge is limited, and the previous little girl ring is weak and light, and there is nothing yet.
But if he wants to leave after a while, he will definitely walk with the jade hairpin and the treasure vase, and then it will be the weight of three people, and then the rope will be broken, and the wooden planks that are strung together will also fall apart, so Jiang Long and the two maid rings will fall into the water.
The original body is the only seedling of Jingfu, and the body is very delicate, Mrs. Jing can't wait to hold it in the palm of her hand every day, do you think she will let the original body go into the water to learn to swim?
The lake is very large and the water is deep, and it is only early spring, and it has not really warmed up, and the lake is cold, and it is difficult for a person who does not know water but wears thick clothes to fall down, and it is difficult to climb up again.
First poisoned, and now he clearly wants to harm me to fall into the water, and sure enough, someone really wants to assassinate the original body!
It is no coincidence that the star lamp grass, the raw stone flower, and the spice containing horn vine are not coincidental.
However, how should I deal with it?
At present, he can't fully trust the jade hairpin and the treasure bottle, and even if he can, it can't be explained, because the more people who know that he is wary and secretly looking for clues, the easier it is to reveal the news.
After all, the jade hairpin and the treasure bottle are only sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, and they can't hide their hearts, and they are far less mature and stable than Yao's mother.
Jiang Long thought about it while still talking and laughing with the jade hairpin treasure bottle.
The second daughter's voice was as crisp as a silver bell, and she didn't find that her little master had something in her heart.
At this time, at the corner of a corridor in the distance, stood an old woman with short stature, shriveled skin, and white hair, the old woman was wearing a black skirt, standing in a place with dense branches, and it was difficult for Jiang Long to find her if he didn't look closely.
The old woman was staring at Jiang Long's direction at the moment, clutching a bloodstained rag doll tightly in her hand.
There were words in his mouth, "Li Xiangmi, back then, you killed my daughter in the water, and today I will design to drown your sick grandson who deserves a short life." ”
Only a moment later, the old woman's eyes were round.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Long finally came up with a solution.
Xiao Yahuan just cut the rope and took advantage of her light weight to leave safely.
Then if the three of them pass the pontoon bridge one by one, there should be no danger in thinking about it.
The jade hairpin and the treasure bottle are both slender and not heavy.
And the original body was even more so sick that he was lying on the bed because of poisoning, and he looked cowardly, and his arm was as thin as a hemp rod.
It won't be much heavier than the previous ring.
"Treasure bottle, I'm suddenly a little hungry and want to eat shortbread." Jiang Long easily thought of a solution to the current predicament.
The vase replied with a sigh in his mouth, and ran and jumped with a smile and was about to step on the pontoon.
Seeing this, Jiang Long hurriedly said: "Slow down, be careful that the pontoon bridge is unstable and falls into the lake." ”
The pontoon bridge is indeed unstable, and then there is the wound of the rope is now only connected not much, if it is bouncing, a single treasure bottle may be stepped on to break it, and as the original body's close-fitting ring, the treasure bottle has no worries about food and clothing, and it is necessary to stay by the side of the original body from time to time on weekdays, and naturally it will not swim.
Jiang Long let the treasure bottle pass first, which was also considered separately.
Because unlike the delicate and delicate willows of the jade hairpin, the treasure bottle is lively and lovely, and the hands and feet are much more flexible.
So even if it falls into the lake, Jiang Long is sure to salvage it.
The body of the vase is also relatively healthy among its peers, and although the lake water is relatively cold, it should not cause any major incidents.
The original body is not good, the foundation is too poor, and the medical skills are backward in this era, if you really fall into the lake, even if you can't drown, you will have a high fever.
A high fever will not only kill people, but also burn out the ears and become deaf because of the slow fever reduction rate of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is more likely to burn out the brain and become an idiot.
"Can't you be honest?" The jade hairpin raised her eyebrows, and she also opened her mouth to reprimand.
The jade hairpin should be gentle, and on weekdays, it is not said that the treasure bottle is too aggressive and too reckless.
"Oh." The vase endeared out his tongue, and the obedient stopped jumping and honestly stepped onto the pontoon.
Jiang Long stared at the back of the treasure vase, for fear that his inference would be wrong and cause him to fall into the water.
Always ready to come to the rescue.
However, he was obviously overly concerned, and as he had guessed, the rope could carry the vase, and the vase walked safely across the pontoon bridge and stepped ashore.
The body of the vase is relatively rounded, which is heavier than the jade hairpin.
When the treasure bottle just turned a corner in front of him, he was relieved to let the jade hairpon cross the pontoon bridge, the reason was very simple, "Jade hairpin, I don't want to eat again, you catch up and call the treasure bottle back." ”
Yuchai pursed her mouth and muttered in a low voice, "The little master is so annoying, play with us." ”
Because of her quiet personality, the gentle jade hairpin will not talk back directly, and it may be replaced by a treasure bottle, and such a character also causes her to let go of screaming at the top of her throat, otherwise she can directly call back the treasure bottle that is not too far away, although she is sullen in her heart, but the jade hairpin still steps on the pontoon bridge to chase the treasure bottle.
said that it was chasing, but the delicate jade hairpin couldn't run at all, and its speed was just a fast walk.
"That dead girl walks so fast, where can I catch up......" Yuchai didn't take a few steps, just raised her hand to wipe the sweat oozing from her forehead.
Seeing that Yuchai passed the pontoon bridge safely, Jiang Long got up and stepped on the pontoon bridge carefully.
During the walk, the pontoon swayed slightly from side to side, and Jiang Long walked very slowly, walking slowly, pretending to walk leisurely while watching the fish in the water.
He didn't know if anyone was peeking in secret, so he was cautious.
When I walked to the place where Yahuan fell before, I saw that most of the ropes there had been cut.
It was precisely because Jiang Long was cautious that the old woman behind the trees did not see the clues.
"Fall, fall......"
Staring at Jiang Long walking on the pontoon with big eyes, the old woman's somewhat chapped mouth turned over, and her mouth cursed over and over again, because of nervousness, she pinched the head of the rag doll in her hand.
It wasn't until she saw Jiang Long stepping ashore safe and sound that the old woman's eyes instantly turned red.
Suddenly grabbed the rag doll and tore it violently!
Phew!
The rag doll with a smile on its lips had a broken arm.
"Someone's coming, let's go." A man sprang out from behind the courtyard wall, pulling the old woman away in a hurry.
The old woman's mouth was still full of words, "Kill you, I'll kill you!" ”
Walking off the pontoon bridge, Jiang Long breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around, looked at the cut rope, and stood on the shore waiting for the jade hairpin and the treasure bottle.
The treasure bottle went fast, and it took a lot of effort for the jade hairpin to catch up, and when the second daughter turned back, she saw her young master standing on the shore looking at the lake.
"Little master, why do you want to eat for a while, and you don't want to eat for a while, the harmful slave almost broke her leg."
The vase unceremoniously complained directly.
Jiang Long got it done with a word, "You can order a dish you like to eat in the evening, and count it as the reparation of Young Master Ben." ”
"Good!"
The vase clapped its hands and jumped up.
"Foodie." Yu Hai rolled her eyes, then pouted, and stared at Jiang Long's eyes with a resentful gaze.
"You can go to the embroidery room and make an extra beautiful dress." Jiang Long smiled helplessly.
These two girls are gluttonous and stinky.
Sure enough, Yu Hai's eyes lit up.
After appeasing the two maids, Jiang Long began to think about the news that the person in the secret was so well-informed.
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard and came to the back garden, the other party already knew, and it seemed that the person in the dark had either sent someone to keep an eye on his courtyard all the time, or arranged people in his own courtyard.
And he has quite a means, and when he sees himself walking into the pavilion in the lake, he can immediately think of a plan to cause himself to fall into the water.
Another point, although the little girl ring from before looked thin, she should have some kung fu foundation.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible to cut most of the stiff rope with the thickness of the arm in a short period of time just by falling and getting up.
Be careful!
Jiang Long planned to return to his small courtyard immediately, it was too dangerous outside.
Before his body has recovered and his skills have not recovered, it is better to go out of the yard less.
But the other party knows his whereabouts, will he arrange any traps on the way back?
Jiang Long thought about it, it was better to be careful, and decided to go back to the small courtyard in a circle.
Because of the memory of the original body, Jiang Long is very familiar with most places in Jingfu, and the original body, as the owner, generally does not go to the house where the people in the mansion gather to live.
The people in the house are not like the masters, everyone has their own independent courtyard.
The houses of the people are lined up one after another.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as Zhang Jiang's and Yao Chen's stewards who have a lot of status in the mansion, and they will bully some remote small courtyards in the mansion.
The jade hairpin and the treasure bottle naturally didn't know Jiang Long's thoughts, and when they saw that he was going to look elsewhere, they followed on the side.
As he walked, Jiang Long suddenly learned something from his original memory.
For example, in the easternmost part of the mansion, there were several small courtyards that were actually warned by the old lady not to enter.
Where can't even the original owner?
