Chapter 162: Speak Out

The Anwa Bridge began to collapse in the middle, and at first, the sound of small pebbles falling into the water could be heard from the river, but the streets were full of people and the sound was so loud and restless that neither the guards at the head of the bridge nor the guards at the end of the bridge noticed the small sound.

The bridge that broke in it turned into one piece of gravel after another, and all fell into the river, and in the dark night, after a splash, it disappeared completely.

The guards at both ends of the bridge were still dutifully blocking those who wanted to pass through the bridge before it collapsed. After ordinary people were stopped, they either thought they were unlucky and went another way, or they ran to the welcome building to find Xie Huai'an in anger.

It's just that the last person they stopped was not among the first two kinds of people.

Wen Fu and Wen Rong took Xi Rou out to see the lanterns together, they thought that Xi Rou would be more interested in the Kong Ming lantern near the academy, who knew that after arriving at the street of the academy, Xi Rou's face was full of interest, and it happened that they met Duan Yuzhi near the academy, and several people got together and walked down the river together.

Xi Rou bought a lotus lantern on the street, borrowed paper and pen from the vendor, wrote her wish on the paper, stuffed the note into the lotus lantern, and then went to the Wen sisters, saying that they wanted to find a place where they could put the lanterns.

Whether it is Wen Fu or Wen Rong, they don't have the opportunity to go out to play every year during the Lantern Festival, although they also believe that the lantern can fulfill their wishes, but compared to the lotus lantern that goes downstream, they believe more in the Kong Ming lantern that can fly into the sky. Therefore, they also did not know where the lotus lantern could be placed in the river.

Duan Yuzhi has no obvious preference for lanterns, and has some understanding.

He had walked behind the three girls, and after this incident, he went to the front to lead the way.

There are many places to put lanterns, and the one that Duan Yuzhi knows happens to have to pass over the Anhe Bridge and walk to the river on the opposite side.

As a result, he was stopped.

If the person blocking the road was replaced by someone else, Duan Yuzhi might still think that more things are better than less, and instead walk on the next bridge. However, he had seen these guards by Xie Huai'an's side, so how could he back down.

He went out to see the lanterns, and there were a lot of guards around him, just an order, the guards on both sides of the fight started, seeing that the fight was inexorable, Duan Yuzhi led the three girls, and was about to go to the Anhe Bridge, and the guards who were still in the melee didn't even have time to stop them, just when they thought they couldn't complete the task set by Xie Huai'an, the Anhe Bridge suddenly collapsed.

As for Duan Yuzhi who was about to pass by the bridge, their luck was not bad, when the bridge collapsed, they quickly retreated, did not accidentally fall into the river, and were not injured, except for being startled, it can be said that they are safe and sound.

Ah Yu followed Xie Huai'an and the others to the bridge, and after hearing what had happened, his eyes were extremely complicated when he looked at Duan Yuzhi.

For a moment, she actually hoped that Duan Yuzhi could walk faster and walk directly to the middle of the bridge.

Jin Yuchen and Wen Huan all looked at the river in amazement, and the lanterns that went down the river swirled near the wreckage of the Anhe Bridge, and the light of the candle flame illuminated the surface of the river, causing them to involuntarily walk towards the river, wanting to see the collapsed Anhe Bridge up close.

Only Xie Huai'an looked back at Ah Yu.

He originally wanted to discuss the bridge collapse with Ah Yu, but when he turned around, he saw Ah Yu biting his lip, his face was pale, and he looked very uncomfortable.

"Ah, are you feeling unwell?" Xie Huai'an suddenly thought of the sentence 'the mandate of heaven cannot be violated' that his cousin often talked about, could it be that Ah Yu leaked the secret of heaven in advance, which caused the destiny of heaven to shift, so she was counterattacked, and at this time her face was full of uncomfortable and unhappy?

People say that they hate less when they use books, and Xie Huai'an feels that this sentence is very reasonable at this time.

Knowing that his cousin didn't travel before, he should have followed behind his cousin and learned a little more, maybe he could help Ah Yu at this time, and he didn't have to watch her feel uncomfortable, but he was helpless to stand aside.

It's just that Ah Yu's face is pale at this time, but it's not because he is not feeling well.

She suddenly felt that she was very vicious, obviously Duan Yuzhi and Xi Rou hadn't hurt her yet, but she couldn't help but have bad thoughts, hoping that the two of them could die as soon as possible, such thoughts were really terrifying.

Ah Yu subconsciously took two steps back, although the people around her were looking at An Heqiao, no one would notice her, she still reached out to cover her face, and she had an illusion in her heart for no reason, she actually felt that the vicious thoughts in her heart were exposed on her face, which would attract Xie Huai'an's attention.

She denied it again and again: "No, I'm not ......"

The little girl's flustered appearance was too obvious for Xie Huai'an to turn a blind eye, but the brocade-clothed young man who came to him with Wen Huan was calling him over at this moment!

Xie Huai'an still didn't think of Jin Yuchen's identity, he looked at the guards left by his uncle and surrounded him, he heard Jin Yuchen's call, and he didn't have the mood to join in the fun.

With so many people gathered around the river, if someone accidentally used a little more force, wouldn't they still squeeze people into the river?

Mao Mao is too young, she shouldn't have taken him to squeeze into the crowd, and Ah Yu is a typical representative of delicate and frail, and the most important thing is that she is not feeling well now, Xie Huai'an made a decision in the blink of an eye.

He picked up the child on his lap, and gave an order to the guards beside Ah Yu without seeing anything outside: "You send someone to talk to Third Brother Wen, just say that it's getting late, I should send Ah Yu home, so I won't go over to join in the fun, if it's convenient, by the way, bring a message to my guards, let them go back to Fan Mansion directly, after I send Ah Yu home, I will take Mao Mao back to Fan Mansion together." ”

The guards around Ah Yu naturally obeyed Ah Yu's orders.

The person who was ordered by Xie Huai'an looked up to see Ah Yu's face, and saw that although Ah Yu did not move the hand blocking his face, he did nod, and after answering yes, he walked towards the crowd.

The rest of the other guards and maids all followed behind Xie Huai'an and walked in the direction of Wen Mansion together.

After walking out for a long time, Duan Yuzhi and Xi Rou were no longer visible, and the overturning of the river and the sea in Ah Yu's heart finally calmed down, she looked at Xie Huai'an who was walking outside, and hesitated for a moment, Xie Huai'an may not know who Jin Yuchen is, but she is clear.

"The people on the bridge should be very grateful to you now, aren't you going to stay and see?"

When Xie Huai'an heard this, he shook his head: "It's okay if others don't know, but you know, the person they should be most grateful for is not my ......"

After all, he was still walking on the street, Xie Huai'an didn't say it very clearly, as long as Ah Yu understood what he meant, it was enough.

Ah Yu didn't speak again, and when she stood at the door of the Wen Mansion, she looked up at Xie Huai'an, who was about to leave: "Thank you today." "Thank you for his willingness to help, and thank you for the people he left behind on the bridge just to send her home.

Xie Huai'an scratched his head in confusion, the incident at Anheqiao was the same as the last gold mine, he took advantage of it, even if someone really needed to thank him, it shouldn't be Ah Yu's.

Looking at the back of Ah Shen entering the door, he paused for a long time before he lowered his head and said to Mao Mao in his arms: "We owe Ah Shen another favor today, and the favor is not very good, and Ah Yu doesn't need me anywhere now." Do you think I should buy something for Ah Yu, at least not to make her think that I am the kind of person who is cheap and good......"

Maomao tugged at Xie Huai'an's shirt and said happily: "Buy!" ”

A categorical word, Xie Huai'an, who listened to it, couldn't help laughing.

"I don't know what kind of things Ah Yu will like, or I'll go home, maybe my mother will know......" He rubbed the child's fluffy hair, talking to himself, didn't take two steps, and stopped to feel the hunger in his lower abdomen, and then suddenly said: "I patronized feeding your boy egg custard just now, but I didn't eat anything at all." ”

When he said this, Xie Huai'an suddenly remembered that Ah Fang only seemed to have drunk half a bowl of soup, and he didn't eat any food.

It's just that now that Ah Yu has returned to the Wen Mansion, he can't go and call people out again, so he has to write down this matter and prepare to make amends next time.

Ah Yu didn't know that someone was thinking about giving her a gift!

She returned to her yard, feeling hopeless, and at the same time thinking about the aftermath of the Anheqiao incident quite rationally.

In her heart, she believed that Jin Yuchen's leg was lame because of the collapse of the Anhe Bridge, but whether this was the case, she had no definite evidence, so she could only wait for the spring hunt in a few months, if the spring hunt went on as usual, she would know the truth.

Ah Yu was already thinking about what would happen in a few months, but the effects of the collapse of the Anhe Bridge had only just begun.

The day after the Lantern Festival, the number of officers and soldiers coming and going in Kyoto suddenly increased.

After having breakfast, Mrs. Wen sent someone to call Wen Huan and Ah Yu to his courtyard.

The door of the study was ajar and half hidden, and when Ah Yu entered the door, he found that his brother was already waiting for him in the study.

Mrs. Wen is an elder who loves the younger generation more, he does not require the children to come to him every day to ask for peace, grandchildren like Ah Yu usually ask for peace once every three days, she has already asked for peace yesterday, and she will not come to ask for peace again today, so Mrs. Wen will send someone to find her.

"On the day of the Lantern Festival, I ate with the children of the Xie family!" Old lady Wen touched his beard, before Ah Yu came, he had already asked Wen Huan many things, and the question at this time was just a procedure, in fact, he didn't think that Ah Yu would know anything secret, but he still had to ask, "When Ah Yu was eating with him, did he notice anything abnormal?" ”

Ah Yu pursed her lips, according to her previous plan, she was not going to tell the truth to the others, but she was a little hesitant now.

Outsiders didn't know about her resentment, but now she was about to be corrupted by it, and all her thoughts were running in a terrible direction, and she knew it was wrong, but she couldn't find a reason to stop herself.

After all, she was just imagining the bad fate of Duan Yuzhi and the others in her heart, and she didn't really set out to do anything to them.

Her heart wavered, and she felt that it had been a long time before she opened her mouth to speak to Old Lady Wen.

“…… In fact, I originally thought about telling my grandfather or brother, but I thought that you might not believe my words, so I went to Xie Huai'an to help......" Ah Yu repeated the words she said in front of Xie Huai'an to Old Lady Wen and Wen Huan from beginning to end.

She didn't say that she clearly saw Wen Ru's life, but according to Xie Huai'an's guess, she only said that she accidentally glimpsed the collapse of Anhe Bridge in a dream, and at first she only thought it was a dream, and after waking up, it passed. After the same dream appeared one after another, she could no longer do the wrong thing about what happened in the dream, but she felt that no one around her could help her, so she finally asked Xie Huai'an for help.

A: "Xie Huai'an said that his cousin grandfather was the one who persuaded my grandfather to change my name in the first place, and also said that his cousin's divination was very effective, if he acted in the name of his cousin, even if something went wrong, he wouldn't blame me, he actually didn't believe my words so much, but he was still willing to take the risk and agreed to my request......"

After confessing her plan with Xie Huai'an, she said a few good words to Xie Huai'an.

Not everyone can do something without even a little face because of her words.

Xie Huai'an sent guards to guard both ends of the Anhe Bridge and not allow others to pass, didn't he know how much damage would be done to his reputation? You must know that when he made the decision, he didn't know if the Anhe Bridge would really collapse? And before the Lantern Festival, he sent people to check the quality of the Anhe Bridge more than once, and every time the inspection was not abnormal, even so, on the day of the Lantern Festival, he still sent people to guard the Anhe Bridge.

To be honest, neither Mrs. Wen nor Wen Huan ever thought that An Heqiao's matter could still involve Ah Yu, and this connection is still so close.

After Ah Yu told everything about it, he breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and added: "Actually, I not only saw the collapse of the Anhe Bridge in my dream, but I also heard someone say that Brother Ah was also injured, but when I went to visit Brother Ah in my dream, I saw other strangers in Brother A's yard, and in the end, I didn't see the injured Brother." ”

When Old Lady Wen heard this, she unconsciously used a little more force in her hand and pulled off several of her beards.

Wen Huan on the other side couldn't help but have other guesses in his heart.
