Chapter 011: Night Walking
Ten years ago, she took it from Jiangcheng to Leizhou, and she didn't lose it all the way, but within two months of arriving at Tang's house, she found that the pendant was missing.
When she got up early in the morning, the bedside was empty, and she was so anxious that she wanted to cry, so she begged the maids to help her find it.
But I searched all over and couldn't find it.
The maids gradually became impatient, saying that the second lady had made a mistake and had not brought it from Jiangcheng at all.
Adults just thought she was fooling around.
She had no choice but to go to see Feng.
But Feng also said, it's just a jade pendant, what is it, if you lose it, you lose it. There was no intention of helping her find it together.
At that time, Miss Tang was standing next to Feng's side, and when she heard this, she took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said that she would give her a better piece when she went back.
But it turns out that things have always been here.
Downing picked up the pendant and held it tightly.
The ridiculous uneasiness in my heart disappeared in an instant.
As soon as the time passed, they left the Tang Mansion.
It was foggy outside, and it looked white at night.
The rain was already very light, only a few drops remained.
Tang Ning wore a pair of Miss Tang's pearl embroidered shoes on his feet. The shoes look new, the pearls are shiny, as if they have never been put on their feet. When the day is short of silver for dinner, the shoes are dismantled and the beads are sold, and there must be a lot of money.
She walked cautiously along the wall as she turned her head to look behind her.
Jia Lan carried Tang Xin behind her back and yawned and followed her.
Ah Yan also rarely made a sound, and when he saw her looking over, he just shrunk his body a little smaller.
The night sky in the distance slowly turned red.
The ancestral house of the Tang family burned in the drizzle, and the flames that rushed to the sky soon burned the dark night to boiling.
If they were lucky, they would think that she and Tang Xin also died in the fire.
Tang Ning withdrew his gaze and continued to discern the way forward.
At night, the long streets and narrow alleys seemed similar to her everywhere.
After all, although she has lived in this prosperous Leizhou City for ten years, it is still a strange place for her with limited mobility.
The inn cannot be stayed.
In the middle of the night, the city could not be released.
It is even more inappropriate to wander the streets and stay for a long time, in case you run into someone who is on the watch.
Tang Ning thought to himself, he should still drive.
But the horses raised in the Tang family's stable, as soon as they saw her and Jia Lan, they began to go crazy, kicking and kicking indiscriminately, and they couldn't allow anyone to get close at all.
I don't know if she was frightened by the smell of blood, or if she suddenly saw a monster, she was afraid that she would lose her mind.
Anyway, this carriage can't be driven.
Tang Ning thought for a moment, lowered his voice and said to Jia Lan: "Can you let Ah Yan go and find out, where is the ship?" ”
Garan nodded.
Ah Yan flew out.
A moment later, it flew back, followed by a man in a robe.
Tang Ning was stunned.
The husband was also stunned: "You ......"
Ah Yanlan floated faintly in the air.
But he didn't seem to see it.
Tang Ning reacted, hurriedly interrupted his words, and took out a piece of loose silver and stuffed it to him: "It's convenient for you, my little brother has a sudden emergency, and we are rushing to seek medical treatment, so we can't delay." ”
Seeing that Jia Lan was carrying a person behind his back, he listened to Tang Ning's worried tone and believed half of it.
If it is really seeking medical treatment, it really cannot be delayed.
But...... Why does the boy over here look a little strange?
Such a head of silver hair.
Is it a shonen white?
The husband was puzzled and felt inconvenient to ask, but he couldn't help but look at Jia Lan twice. In the faint light, the young man who looked only sixteen or seventeen had a face that surprised him.
I don't know which family's son was born so beautiful.
He went to see Downing again.
I was even more surprised when I saw it.
This girl was born like a fairy.
In Leizhou City, is there still such a person?
He grabbed the silver given by Tang Ning, pondered wildly, and suddenly, with a loud cry, fell to the ground. The gong in his hand "clanged" and fell, making an earth-shattering sound.
Silent late at night, there was a sudden noise.
"You-you-you-"
He shuddered.
Tang Ning hurriedly went to look at Jia Lan.
The fox's tail came out again.
He flashed his fangs at the groom on the ground.
The husband stared at him, screamed and ran away.
Human voices sounded in the thick fog, Tang Ning sighed helplessly, settled down, let Ah Yan lead the way, and quickly followed it to the river.
Where there is water, the fog seems to be thicker. As she got closer, she saw that there were only two dilapidated painting boats parked on the riverbank. Unlike ordinary boats, no matter how dilapidated the painting boat is, it is much more conspicuous.
But now that the arrow is on the bow, there is no choice.
She walked straight over and chose the smaller one.
This time, without her opening, Ah Yan had already taken the initiative to step forward and burn the tie rope.
Downing left a piece of silver next to the stake.
Jia Lan got on the boat and threw Tang Xin on the spot.
Downing lifted her skirt and jumped on it as well.
Under the action of the current, the painting boat gradually moved away from the riverbank.
Garan sat down and yawned again, "Will you hold the boat?" ”
Of course Downing wouldn't, she thought before, looking for a boat, she could always row out. But now that it's a painting boat, it's a little more difficult to "always be able to".
Tailwinds, though.
She stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the white mist in the distance, and said softly: "There is wind, the water is also urgent, and if you drift all night, you must be able to float out a lot." ”
This river channel is built straight and has few bends, which is just right.
As for the rest of the matter, we will talk about it later.
The fire of the Tang family has burned to the present, and it must have alarmed people. If they hesitate for a while, they will be trapped in the city.
There are fewer people on the waterway, and it is more convenient to go out of the city.
If you want to get the boat out, there will always be a way.
Downing pinned the windswept hair behind his ears and turned to see that Garan was already drowsy.
He leaned there, and his voice followed sleepy: "I need to sleep......" Ah Yan became only the size of a fist, flying back and forth beside him, like ants on a hot pot.
It looks worried.
Tang Ning walked over, crouched down, and looked at Jia Lan carefully.
The face is bloodless, very pale.
His voice became soft: "Downing." ”
"Huh?" Tang Ning reached out and probed his forehead, which was cold, as if he was touching a stone.
In the end, it's a youkai.
Can you still catch a cold......
She's really stupid, too.
Downing put his hand down, and heard him almost whisper, "Don't leave me ......"
Ah Yan cooed and stopped, above his head.
The long silver frost-like hair, illuminated by the blue firelight, was incredibly beautiful.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep, like a doll carved in jade.
Tang Jingjing was silent for a while before standing up, leaning over to the side of the boat, and carefully watching the current. The water didn't seem to be as urgent as she expected. Frowning, she turned her face to look at Ah Yan.
Ah Yan hung in the air, like a blue cold moon.
She whispered to it, "Will you hold the boat?" ”
When Ah Yan heard this, he muttered and screamed, looking very angry.
Tang Ning smiled, waved his hand back inside, and looked at Tang Xin again.
Tang Xin also fell asleep.
The breathing sounds steady.
In the darkness, Tang Ning found a place to sit down, and touched the back of his hand in silence.
The skin on the top had become smooth, and there was no sign of injury.
An indescribable sense of emptiness suddenly welled up in his chest.
She clenched her knees, hung her head, and took a deep breath.
At this time, the painting boat under him suddenly shook vigorously.
Tang Ning was startled, quickly got up, and ran out in the dark. When I got to the skylight, Ah Yan was lying on the side of the boat, and the painting boat was moving fast.
