Chapter 998: Death in the Narrow Alley
Chen Wanshu is a very miserable person, the little lady is a bastard, the scourge in the family back then was not light, and she almost killed one of Master Chen's concubines. Thanks to the short life of that little lady, Chen Wanshu has been kept by Mrs. Chen's side, so she didn't let Master Chen kill him in anger.
It's just because of such a bastard girl, tired that Wanshu has been struggling to make a living all these years, if it weren't for the protection of Mrs. Chen, I'm afraid that she would have been beaten to death by Old Master Chen.
The Chen family is kind-hearted, and he is neither overly concerned about Chen Wanshu, but he has never treated her badly, at best, he does not pay attention to it, and the degree of food and clothing must be enough, but it is definitely not as exquisite as Chen Wanrou.
Wanshu never complained about this, and when Mrs. Chen passed away, she felt that the world had collapsed a little. At the last moment before the old lady took her last breath, she was still pointing at Master Chen and forcing him to swear that he would not treat Wanshu badly in this life.
Old Man Chen swore to the sky, and Old Lady Chen closed her eyes contentedly, and there was no pain when she left.
After hearing this, Shen Nanzhi was already in tears, wiping the tears on his face with his sleeve, and patting Chen Wanshu in front of him, asking her not to be too sad, and sobbed for a long time, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then you can't live up to the old lady's heart, without the protection of the old lady in this life, you must live out well, in the future, we will do what we should do, and we will always have our own life." ”
It is also strange to say that she, a girl from a concubine, understands Chen Wanshu's situation very well.
Maybe that's one of the reasons why the two became friends.
The two of them nested on the small pestle and talked for a long time, and seeing that a short time had passed, Shen Nanzhi remembered his mother's entrustment before setting off - now the road is not very smooth, and he will go home quickly after the condolences.
So he hurriedly ended the conversation between the two, and did not forget to go to the hall to say goodbye to Chen, and asked Vanilla to go to the medicine pillow, so he was willing to leave.
Chen Wanshu sent Shen Nanzhi out, angry and laughing, scolding her for being shameless, but she didn't forget to ask for a fragrant pillow to take back.
Shen Nanzhi smiled playfully at Chen Wanshu, and the two said goodbye in front of Chen's mansion, and then they separated.
The carriage of the Shen family stopped in the alley on the other side of the Chen Mansion, Shen Nanzhi and Ding Xiang walked over together, but they were startled - the place where the carriage was parked was in a mess, the self-driving carriage was obviously damaged by something, a door fell down, and the coachman was lying crookedly aside, the ground was bloody, several family members fell, and Juan Bi also fainted to death.
"Yikes! Uncle Liu! Curly Bi! What's going on!? Uncle Liu grinned with his teeth in his arms, and was called a few times by Lilac, only then did he come back to his senses, he looked at Shen Nanzhi in front of him, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Four girls!" Hurry, get out of here! A group of rogues with knives came just now—they may also be refugees, thinking that the Jiang girl in the car is the concubine of our Shen Mansion...... Poop, it will be taken captive! ”
According to Uncle Liu's words, the gang wanted to rob people for money, and when Shen Nanzhi went to Chen's mansion, several family members were outside the gate, and the remaining four or five people resisted unfavorably, and they all encountered poisonous hands. And Jiang Wantang was already screaming and fleeing, and she didn't know where she went, and she didn't know if she was arrested at this time.
Lilac was so anxious that she jumped to her feet, but Shen Nanzhi was still calm, and only ordered a few words with a few sensible family members: "You pretend to be dead here first, if I can move to rescue the soldiers, I will send someone to treat you, if I don't come back in the evening, you will go to the hospital by yourself." ”
As he spoke, he took off the pendant from his ear and stuffed it into the arms of the man who was slightly injured but could not move. Only then did he get up with Lilac to help Uncle Liu, and also gave Uncle Liu a few coins of silver, asking him to quickly walk the path home to move the rescuers.
Shen Nanzhi can't run away blindly - she knows very well in her heart that the purpose of that group of people is on herself, if she can't catch Jiang Wantang, it's okay, if she catches her, maybe Jiang Wantang will confess herself, and that group of people hasn't gone far yet, she and Lilac are both girls, where can you run past the outlaws?
After thinking about it, she decided to go to the Chen family to take refuge first, the Chen family also has a big family, and it is safe to go in.
Unexpectedly, before the two of them had time to get out of the alley, several tall men walked over from the end of the narrow alley, and the shadow was black and oppressive to cover Shen Nanzhi's sight, and the two took a few steps back with their hands in hand, and they heard Jiang Wantang's cry.
"Let's just say that this woman doesn't look like a girl from the Shen family, sure enough!" The man carrying Jiang Wantang smiled contemptuously, "We, we don't want people, as long as Miss Shen gives us a few money for the winter, we will live...... I can't live anymore, so I can only ask Miss Shen for help! ”
Shen Nanzhi couldn't hear where this dialect was, but he also understood the gist of it, so he hurriedly took off all the jewelry on his head, and took out a few pieces of scattered silver from his body, and threw them all towards the men, saying, "Big brother, let that girl go!" How can a little person withstand such torture? If we can go home safely, we will pay a few hundred taels of silver afterwards to honor you! ”
The eldest husband can stretch and contract, no wonder she is too useless.
"You—Who are you lying to!" The big man was obviously not satisfied, and he was about to step forward with the blade in his hand, but Jiang Wantang behind him struggled desperately, and kicked one of the men without paying attention...... Buttocks.
This group of people was like gunpowder, a spark seed, instantly ignited all the people, Shen Nanzhi's face changed, and he roared while pulling the cloves: "Run!" ”
It was too late, it was too fast, Shen Nanzhi ran backwards desperately, and inadvertently glanced back, only to see the men rushing up viciously, she secretly complained in her heart, but she didn't see the road ahead.
In the electric light, I don't know what I kicked on my feet, a wind blew by my side, and Shen Nanzhi didn't care about his figure, and fell to the ground heavily...... Ignoring the pain, Shen Nanzhi desperately climbed up, but saw a few people standing between him and the men.
The three people who appeared out of nowhere quieted the boiling alley for a while, the big men were stunned, and Shen Nanzhi was also a little stunned, only looking at the young man in front of him fixedly.
The young man headed by him, seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and well-proportioned, not as thin as a little chicken, wearing a palace brocade crescent white gold ten brocade long clothes, thick black long hair stood up high, with a turban embedded with Baoyu, just because the young man's hair is black and long, such a random curling is not fair, but it has a little more Jianghu atmosphere.
The young man had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his face was handsome, but his expression was indeed very arrogant, with a bit of ridicule, looking at Shen Nanzhi who fell to the ground with the action of eating.
The two people behind him were dressed much simpler, they were the same age as teenagers, one was carrying a felt bag, and their faces were quite harmonious, although their appearance was not very memorable, but they were also completely clean.
Shen Nanzhi felt bitter in his heart - these three are all scholars, right?
