Chapter 3 Miss
The big rooster with bright coat was majestic, fierce and aggressive, and was the highest leader in the flock. But now, it has not only become a "soup chicken", with no arrogance, but also blocked in the corner of the chicken shed by Baotian, with no way to ask for help and nowhere to escape.
Baotian wiped the mud from his face and approached the rooster step by step, while his hands gently removed the basket tied to his waist and gently threw it forward, covering the rooster who had long been exhausted.
"Good skill," Sang applauded, she sat on the low wall of the chicken pen, one long leg drooped down, swaying gently on the wall, "Baotian, you are really loyal to your son-in-law, not only to protect him, but also to boil medicine or soup every day, how much silver does he give you to be worth your effort?" ”
Baotian wiped a handful of water droplets on his forehead, and said with a smile to Sang, "Where is this silver, I was accepted by the lord in the house since I was a child, and I grew up with my son-in-law, and the son-in-law treats me like a brother, of course I will do my best to him." ”
"You grew up in the Zhao Mansion?" Sang stopped swinging his legs, he touched his chin with one hand, and looked at Baotian's back with interest, "Then you must know a little bit about the Zhao family." ”
After speaking, seeing Baotian's figure freeze suddenly, it smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't ask you about any secrets, you have been in the Zhao family for so many years, of course your mouth is tighter than anyone else, and I know that you won't confide in half a word about things that shouldn't be said." ”
"What does the Great Immortal want to know?" Baotian breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at it.
Sang jumped down from the low wall and walked towards Baotian, the big rooster in the bamboo basket was still wilting, and when he saw it coming, it was like seeing a ghost, and he flapped his wings desperately to jump out of the basket.
Sang casually picked up a branch on the ground to fight cocks, and said to Baotian without raising his head, "Tell me about your eldest lady, listen to Zhao Zimai, she is missing?" ”
Baotian breathed a sigh of relief, and the sweat on his forehead fell along with the rain, "It turns out that the great immortal wants to ask this, this matter is well known to everyone in the capital, and it is really not a secret: 'On that winter day ten years ago, the daughter of Lord Shoufu Zhao Wen'an disappeared in her own home, and her life and death were uncertain. Whoever you ask, he'll tell you, and even I can't say a word, because that's how she disappeared. ”
Sang dropped the branch in his hand, stood up and looked at Baotian, "Really? ”
Baotian swore an oath, "How dare I deceive the gods and immortals, if there is a fake, let me have a boil on my mouth and die with a rotten tongue." ”
Sang laughed, but then smiled again, "Then let me ask one more question, is the relationship between Zhao Zimai and his sister not good?" ”
Hearing this, Baotian hesitated slightly, but after meeting Sang Ling's fierce gaze, he scratched his head and muttered, "That's a long story, Gongzi and the eldest lady were not born to the same mother, the biological mother of the eldest lady is the cousin of the master, and she went soon after giving birth to the eldest lady." And the child's mother is a continuation, so the lord seems to be more affectionate to the eldest lady, after all, there is no biological mother to take care of, and the lord always feels that he has to make up for the eldest lady more in terms of family affection. But in the eyes of the eldest lady, she and the old lady are the real family, and the son and the old lady are like outsiders, who are here to compete with her for her father, so although she can't say bad things about the son and the old lady, she is always faint and even a little alienated. ”
"But Childe was young at that time, and he still liked this sister very much, and he followed the eldest lady all day long, and the sister kept screaming, and he couldn't see the impatience of the eldest lady at all. I think if it weren't for the incident that happened later, maybe they would still be able to get along like ordinary siblings. ”
"What happened next?"
"When the son was five years old, the old lady had a serious illness, and the old man was busy with government affairs during that time and rarely went home, so when the wife was seriously ill, the only relatives who accompanied the lady were sons. But the son guarded the old lady for more than a month, but still could not hope for the old lady's recovery, on the contrary, the old lady's illness became more and more serious, and finally one day, the doctor who came to take care of the old lady said that she might not stay up all night. ”
"So the house sent someone to find the old lady back, wanting him to come to see the old lady for the last time, after all, the person who the old lady was thinking about when she was seriously ill was the old man."
"The old man finally came back, and the old lady was already angry at this time, so the son hurried outside to welcome the old man in. But as soon as he walked to the front hall, he saw the eldest lady's personal maid lying on the ground crying to the master, she said, the eldest lady had a high fever and babbled nonsense for several days, I don't know if I can survive it. ”
The old man was frightened by this sentence, and he walked towards the courtyard of the eldest lady in a panic, and when the son stretched out his hand to grab his robe, he waved it away. Afterwards, I saw that the back of Childe's hand was red and swollen, and it didn't go away for a few days. Of course, the old lady didn't get to see the old man for the last time, and she left on that snowy night. ”
"A few days later, at Madame's funeral hall, Childe looked at the eldest lady who had recovered as normal, and said to me, 'Baotian, guess she was pretending to be sick that night.' He said this with a calm expression, but I felt that something was wrong, very wrong. Because the relationship between the prince and the old lady was very close, but he did not shed a single tear in front of Madame Rao's spirit. He told me that he didn't want others to see him as fragile and helpless, and that was what he did. ”
"I think the 'other' in his mouth should be the eldest lady."
Sang didn't move for a long time, and just when Baotian was about to walk out of the chicken pen with the bamboo basket on his shoulder, he suddenly asked: "What clothes did your eldest lady wear on the day she disappeared?" ”
"Then where do I remember, the eldest lady's clothes are so many that I can't count them, and they don't change every day, and they can't even compare to those Gege."
After speaking, he saw that the person behind him had not answered for a long time, so he glanced back, but saw Sang standing in the flying rain, pressing his temple with one hand, his eyes squinting slightly, and there was a touch of pain in it.
"Great Immortal, what's wrong with you?"
The big in the bamboo basket let out a sharp crow, Sang shuddered, clenched his fist with one hand and slammed it to his temple a few times, his eyebrows wrinkled with fierce lines, and he muttered, "Look down on you hairy girl, your mind is so strong, you want to compete with me for your body several times." ”
"Miss Mu?" Baotian looked at Sang's red pupils and unconsciously called out these words.
"There's no Miss Mu here, get out."
After hearing a vicious shout, Baotian obediently escaped from the chicken pen with the bamboo basket on his back.
