Chapter 412: Change
"Go get the messenger." Lin Lao Wu was stunned, and replied puzzled-her daughter-in-law is literate and hyphenated, her mind is clear, why didn't she think of the questions she thought of?
"What are you doing? Every day in the hands of others, are you afraid that he will not suffer enough? Qiu Ju's face turned cold, and she asked sharply.
"Well, if you catch it, you can exchange it for Tiantian." Seeing the severity of his wife's questioning, Lin Lao Wu was a little weak-hearted, but he didn't know what he was wrong, at least that was a way.
"It must be a little minion who will be sent to run errands and deliver letters, do you think you can take a little minion to exchange for a daily minion? When the time comes, the robbers on the mountain will be anxious and take out the anger every day, if there are three long and two short every day, will it be useful for you to cut that little minion with a thousand knives? Qiu Juqi asked.
Lin Lao Wu, who asked with a "uh" sentence, lost his temper, and thought about it, although they are all lives, how can the lives of robbers compare to the lives of their own relatives? Don't say one for one, even if it's ten for one, you will never agree, in that case, what's the point of catching that messenger?
"Uncle Lin, it's too late for you to go now, that person put down the letter and ran, and it is estimated that they have all entered the mountain at this time." Tian Qingyou interjected at the right time and shook his wit - in the month of May and June, when the mountains are lush with vegetation and green branches and leaves, when you enter the mountains, you may not even be able to see a figure from a distance of three or five feet, not to mention that people are still robbers on the mountain, and their familiarity with the mountains and forests is comparable to that of the most seasoned hunters, entering the mountains is like returning home, Lin Lao Wu is just a common man, although he is strong but has not practiced martial arts, how can he catch up?
"Well, that makes sense, okay, don't chase it." Although Lin Laowu has a good character, he has an advantage. It's just that if you know your mistakes, you won't have to hold on to them for the sake of face, knowing that you are thinking too simply, and you don't think about the revenge of the robbers who may be attracted after catching the messenger, so you put down the axe and returned to Qiu Ju in a dejected manner.
"Master, let's open the letter first, maybe there is news from every day." The so-called authorities are confused, bystanders are clear, and the apprentice Tie Zhu reminded Qiu Ju when he saw this - no matter what kind of news it is. Sooner or later, you have to face it, in this case, it is better to know earlier than to know later, at least you can have more time to react.
"Oh, yes." Qiu Ju came back to her senses and hurriedly tore open the envelope, there was only one page of stationery inside, the kind of straw paper that was very common at a low price, and the letterhead was according to the three-fold and one-horizontal method. This made Qiu Ju a little surprised, because this folding method is usually a stacking method when juniors write letters to elders, and the robbers on the mountain obviously have no reason to adopt such politeness when writing letters to themselves - is it really a brainless bandit who does not understand this culture of writing correspondence?
The envelope was handed over to Lin Lao Wu. opened the letter again, and several lines of neat handwriting appeared in front of Qiu Ju's eyes, and when she saw the handwriting, Qiu Ju's eyes instantly flowed. "It's the word of every day, it's the word of every day!" She subconsciously muttered - although the road is far away, Tan Xiaotian has not come back in the past two years to learn chess in Yangzhou. But basically every month, he writes a letter to his aunt to report the situation, so Qiu Ju is very familiar with his handwriting and can recognize it at a glance.
"Really?! What was written?! Lin Lao Wu has never read a book, and he doesn't know a few words, but looking at the neat and beautiful words on the letter, it can be inferred that Tan Xiaotian was emotionally stable when he wrote the letter, and he was not abused, and his heart was a little relaxed, and he hurriedly asked Qiu Ju about the content of the letter.
"Oh", wiping a handful of tears, Qiu Ju hurriedly lowered her head to continue reading the letter, looking at it, her face gradually turned from worry to surprise, standing there in a daze, and she didn't even notice that the tears flowed out again.
"Sister Ju, what's wrong with you? What exactly is written in the letter? Good news or bad news? Looking at the daughter-in-law's reaction, it is obvious that the situation written in the letter is very important, which is why Qiu Ju's mood swings are so big, the problem is that he is not very literate, and the words that he can recognize on a page can be counted with one hand, and trying to guess and understand the meaning of the letter is tantamount to a fool's dream, he only urged Qiu Ju to say it quickly.
", every day said that he was fine, if we don't have to worry, Lei Ming, who took him up the mountain, is a good person, very good to him, I will send him to the place where the carjacking was yesterday this afternoon, let us go and pick him up alone." Qiu Ju then roughly explained the contents of the letter.
"What? What did you say? What does this mean every day, does it mean that Lei Ming is going to let him go? Lin Lao Wu was taken aback when he heard this, he thought that Tan Xiaotian wrote the letter because the robber felt that the ransom conditions proposed earlier were not enough to continue to increase the weight, but he never expected that he would let Tan Xiaotian go home today, is this still a robber?
"Yes, Tian Tian said that he would come back in the afternoon, what time is it now, quick, Lao Wu, you quickly set up a car to pick up Tian Tian." Qiu Ju came back to her senses and urged Lin Lao Wu again and again - it is better to believe it than to believe it not, this is what she thinks at this time, even if she is played by the robbers in the mountains, this opportunity cannot be missed.
"Ah, don't worry, don't worry, bolt, you go to the carriage, Tiezhu, you go to Liu's Mansion and ask Lao Wei to come over, he knows where to pick up people." Lin Lao Wu was also a little panicked, but fortunately, his mind was not messed up, it was not yet noon, and he was completely in time.
"By the way, I have to tell Steward Zheng about this and ask him to come over and discuss it." At this time, Qiu Ju also calmed down a little, thinking that this matter came suddenly, and it was necessary for a few people to help deal with it.
"Yes, yes, bolt, you hurry up and go to the Yuelai Inn to invite Steward Zheng." The woman sang with her husband, and Lin Lao Wu immediately instructed the apprentice to invite someone.
The whole Lin Ji workshop was suddenly busy, looking for people to find people, set cars for cars, and a few children also got together to run around to report news.
Steward Zheng quickly picked it up, came in a hurry, the coat he was wearing was not even fully buttoned, and he entered the gate of Lin Ji's workshop, and without waiting for the carriage to stop, he jumped down in a hurry and walked quickly to Qiu Ju and his wife, "How is it, there is a letter every day?" ”
"Here, Steward Zheng, look." Qiu Ju hurriedly took the letter to Steward Zheng to read.
At a glance and ten lines, Steward Zheng quickly read the letter, and the expression on his face was surprised and happy, "Great, great, every day Ji people have their own destiny, it's good to be able to come back, it's good to be able to come back." "Excited, he said a little bit of a preface, I don't know how to express it.
As soon as he finished reading the letter here, Lao Wei followed him into the gate, and he came with Ah Fu, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, but it turned out that Liu Wenxiong got the news and knew that the Lin family needed help here, so he sent Ah Fu to come over to help.
