Chapter 275: The Stove
The door creaked open, and six hands stretched out from inside, pulling the man in.
The door slammed shut.
The private soldiers outside the door shouted noisily to chase, and Yu Jingning's little brocade guard holding his collar was still coughing up blood. In front of them stood two half-sized children and a little girl still gnawing her fingers.
Well, Fang Cai and the two of them pulled Yu Jingning in, and Yu Jingning was staring at the little brocade guard with all his attention, and he didn't notice that the door behind him suddenly opened, and he was already falling backwards, otherwise it would be impossible for someone to grab him in the yard.
The eldest child was fifteen or sixteen years old, two or three years younger than Xiao Cai and Yu Jingning, who were coughing up blood, he stared at Yu Jingning, looked at the three people with bloody faces, shook his fingers and stammered: "I...... I'm me, I've seen you. ”
Yu Jingning protected Xiao Cai with one hand and grabbed the knife with the other, and Xiao Wu next to him was also fierce, staring at the young man, his eyes were so fierce that he almost scared the little girl who was gnawing her fingers next to her into tears.
The twelve or thirteen-year-old on the side quickly blindfolded her.
The fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy continued to stammer: "Are you ...... It's the ......" He seemed to be so frightened by these three bloody guys that he forgot his words, racking his brains for a long time before remembering what he was going to say, "You're the Qincha!" ”
Yu Jingning frowned, and only then did he see who this kid was.
The first four children in his family, the eldest has just reached the crown, and he is the same age as Tan Huaijue, and he followed him into Beijing to sue the emperor, leaving the three little caretakers in the family.
Yu Jingning heard the words and let out an "oh".
The young man was in a hurry, wanting to stretch out his hand to push Yu Jingning, but he didn't dare, so he had to say, "Come into the house, come into the house." Don't stand outside. He turned around and shouted at his younger brother, "Third brother, go fetch water!" ”
The third brother answered, picked up his sister and ran into the house.
Yu Jingning glanced at Xiao Wu and Xiao Cai, and followed into the house.
The second brother followed a few people, walked around the house for a long time, and finally went to the kitchen to pull out all the firewood under the stove, and said to Yu Jingning: "I'm wronged, stay here first." ”
Yu Jingning didn't dislike it, and lowered his head and got in.
When the second brother was looking for a place for the three of them to hide, the third brother fetched water and washed the floor outside.
When the second brother had placed all three of them, the sound of "da-da-da" running sounded outside the door again.
The third brother looked at his brother in horror, and said with his lips: "What should I do?" "The water here hasn't dried up yet.
The second brother looked at the big water tank in the yard, and suddenly gritted his teeth and smashed the water tank when he lifted the stone.
"Bang Dang"!
The two gates were broken open by the pursuers, and the soldier who had taken the lead almost fell into the courtyard, and he stared at the water that filled the courtyard and frowned.
The second brother was holding his arms and grinning at his sister: "Little cub, there are only a few water tanks in the family, and you smashed one for me, what will you use in the future?!" Yes? You money-loser, you should have thrown you into the mountains to feed the wolves! ”
This little girl was only four or five years old, and she knew why she had suddenly suffered an injustice, and she was crying with a long mouth, and she could see all the baby teeth in her mouth clearly.
The third brother squatted on the ground, hugged his sister, and persuaded people bitterly: "Brother, how old is she, what do you know?" Look at it, crying like this......"
The private soldiers outside didn't have the patience to watch this kind of poor brother and sister drama, and shouted at the top of their voices: "Children! ”
Except for the little girl who opened her mouth and cried, the rest of the people all turned their heads to look at the private soldier, as if they had just seen someone break down the door, and they were startled, and looked at the person who came in a daze.
As soon as the private soldier saw that it was three stupid children, he stepped into the door with his toes high, pointed to a few drops of bright red blood on the door of their house, and said, "Arrest the fugitive!" You saw blood at the door of your house, did you hide someone in your house? ”
The face of the second brother, who was still grinning and training the little sister, suddenly fell, as if he was frightened when he saw the knife, and said tremblingly: "Don't dare, where is this...... We are all ordinary people, where do we dare to harbor fugitives......"
The private soldier was circling in the courtyard, and the ground was wet and full of water, and he was about to peek into the house.
This ground is paved with bluestone slabs, which have been used for a long time, and they are all slippery, and this is the water that has made the ground, and it is even more slippery when you step on it. The third brother hurriedly acted as if nothing had happened, and quietly stretched out his legs-
"Ouch!" The private soldier screamed, and slipped and fell on the stone slab, and the men who followed him hurriedly helped the man up.
The one who fell down shouted angrily: "What kind of little rabbit cub is this, Lao Tzu is the brother-in-law of Bian Lingyu, the governor of Shandong!" You people, dare to ......"
He couldn't tell what he drew, he didn't even see the third brother stretch his legs.
The little broken rush that followed him hurriedly helped him add: "You dare to make our second master lose face!" ”
The man who was called the second master stood up and glanced at him, and the little man who had just spoken hurriedly slapped himself: "The little one should be damned!" ”
Before the "second master" could shout anything again, there was a sudden loud noise outside the door.
They had heard it many times along the way, and it was the sound of someone running on the roof, stepping on the tiles, falling to the ground and shattering.
"Where have the people gone?" The little crushing urged his hand to point out,
Now the second master doesn't care about the little cub in this yard, he hurriedly pulled out the knife and waved it: "Chase!" He was also in a hurry to kill Yu Jingning and ask for credit for his brother-in-law.
A group of people slipped their feet and rushed out.
The second brother and the third brother stood in the courtyard, watching the group of people with their feet in the water running away and trampling a few drops of blood at the door.
The second brother stuck his head out of the door and looked at it for a long time before he said firmly: "Everyone is gone." ”
The third brother hurriedly took a towel in his hand and came out to wipe away a few drops of blood at the door. Now the family's yard is full of water, and there is nothing to be seen.
Their little sister just cried, didn't understand what happened today, stood in the yard and sniffled, seeing that no one came to coax her, she felt bored, she didn't cry, and stood in the yard by herself to play.
The second and third brothers went into the house and found out all the people who were scattered and hidden.
The third brother lifted the lid of the empty rice jar and shouted at Xiao Cai inside: "Adult? My lord? ”
Xiao Cai closed his eyes and did not react, the third brother suddenly changed color, almost crying, and shouted: "Brother!" ”
