Chapter 7: A Drop of Water That Disappears
In the Tao family's mansion, Tao Sancun and Tao Shun'er pushed open the two big iron doors and walked into the courtyard that was too small to be smaller.
I couldn't see the maid, I couldn't see Rong Niang, the yard was quiet, as if nothing had happened.
It's so quiet, it's weirdly quiet, it shouldn't be so quiet, doesn't it mean that little things are going to die? At this time, Rong Niang should be crying and shouting, the little maids are busy, seeing them is like seeing a savior?
Why can't you see a person?
"What about people? What about people? Tao Shun'er shouted a few words and followed her father into the house.
This was originally a small courtyard for miscellaneous items, and there was only a small room in the courtyard, and when you opened the door, you could see a low curtain with shadows, and a person seemed to be lying on the bed.
Tao Shun'er was an anxious son, and as soon as she tore open the tent, the father and son were stunned together.
There was a man lying across the bed, but not the child, but a woman, a woman who was bumpy and jade-like.
In normal times, Tao Shun'er would sneak a few glances at this woman and swallow his saliva by the way, but now he is the same as his father Tao Sancun, who is dumbfounded.
The woman hiding in the bed, no matter how beautiful or ugly, would not move his heart, because his eyes were attracted by the ropes tied to the woman's hands and feet.
Stunned for a moment, Tao Sancun was well-informed after all, he quickly came to his senses, took a step closer, and stood in front of the bed, Rong Niang had something stuffed in her mouth, and her beautiful eyes were full of tears.
Tao Sancun had a gloomy face, took off the things in Rong Niang's mouth, and asked in a deep voice, "What about the little things?" ”
He didn't ask who tied Rong Niang here, but only asked Shen Tong, it doesn't matter who Rong Niang was tied up, what matters is the child.
"Ran away...... Ran away,......" Rong Niang muttered, until now she still didn't believe what had happened, that child, the child who had a fever yesterday, not only knocked her unconscious, but also tied her up.
Rong Niang will never forget the look that the child looked at her when he left, not fierce or cold, but indifferent, as if he was looking at a dead man.
Dead person? Is she going to die? No, she can't die, her brother hasn't come back yet, she can't die.
"Steward Tao, it's not my fault, it's not my fault, it was the kid who ran away, I didn't let her go, what about my brother, please, tell the master to let my brother come back."
Rong Niang's hands and feet were still tied, and she kept begging.
But now even Tao Shun'er, who has always had a little idea about her, is impatient, and Tao Sancun's eyes are even colder, when is this coming, still chattering, if you are not the mother and daughter, the master will accept you?
He slapped Rong Niang in the face and said viciously: "Idiot, your useless brother has only been locked up in the cellar for two days before he breathes, if you want to see him, go down there to see him, but now you can't die, who will be responsible for your death?" ”
Tao Sancun gave his son Tao Shun'er a look, and Tao Shun'er stuffed the rag into Rong Niang's mouth again, and didn't forget to touch Rong Niang's chest.
It's tender and raw, but unfortunately it's about to turn into a pile of dead meat.
The reason why I want to block her mouth again is not because I am afraid that she will scream, but because I don't want her to bite her tongue and kill herself, Daddy is right, if she dies, the master will blame his father and son.
The father and son did not stay in the house, but came to the courtyard again, and shouted twice, and the two little maids walked in from the outside with ignorant faces, one wearing a pink jacket and a green skirt, and the other was disheveled, only wearing underwear.
Seeing them, Tao Sancun suddenly understood, and he asked one of them sharply: "Where are your clothes outside?" ”
The little maid didn't know what was going on, she said timidly: "The slaves and maids played hide and seek with Miss Cousin, and the slave was caught by Miss Cousin and was punished for taking off her clothes......"
Without waiting for the little maid to finish speaking, Tao Sancun yelled at Tao Shun'er: "Fooled, chase quickly, it's the little maid just now!" ”
But where is there the shadow of the little maid, as soon as they entered the courtyard, the nurses in the courtyard didn't see it, and the menzi also said that they didn't see it, the little figure in the pink jacket and green skirt was like it had never appeared.
If it weren't for the father and son meeting the little girl at the same time, Tao Sancun would even think that he had heard it wrong, and he hadn't encountered it at all.
But of course he didn't look dazzled, he really met the girl.
But where can a seven or eight-year-old child hide?
The father and son, together with all the nurses, searched the house inside and out, and within three miles, but they did not find half a figure.
The child, like a drop of water, disappeared out of thin air.
"Daddy, that child is only seven or eight years old, and she is raised by a woman, where can she run to, I guess she must still be in the house, why don't we search it again, maybe there are still horns and horns that have not been found." Tao Shun'er was so anxious that the pimples on her face came out.
Tao Sancun was silent, he paced a few laps, thinking about the child he had met over and over again, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the child was no different from the other two little maids, but even if there was a difference, he didn't pay attention to it.
Alas, I blamed myself for being negligent for a while, and I let a little girl be blinded by my age.
No, where did a child get such a scheming, even if she had such a scheming, how could she escape without a trace alone?
Someone to help her!
That's right, someone to help her!
Thinking that there were still people hiding in the shadows to help this child, Tao Sancun felt that his guess was not wrong, it would not be wrong, absolutely not.
The child has been sick and only woke up this morning, and even went to the pharmacy to grab medicine, but Tao Shun'er went, and for the sake of insurance, even the doctor was not invited.
Therefore, the people who help her are either from the outside or from this house.
Of course, it won't be those two little girls who don't understand bullshit, and it won't be the nurses in the front yard, those people haven't even entered the back house these days, let alone their own father and son, so who else can it be?
A name is about to come out, Steward Tao sneered, it turned out to be her, the thief shouted to catch the thief, this trick is too wonderful.
It was already evening, and Rong Niang in the hut looked at the roof in despair, what Steward Tao said coincided with the child, her brother died, and her brother had already died.
She failed her wife, when she took her young brother to bury her father, she thought that what was waiting for her would be the Qing (Defense) Lou Chu Pavilion, but the old lady and Mrs. Qian who passed by rescued her, gave her silver to bury her father, and let her be a decent big girl.
But she still deceived the young lady from her wife.
What's next? My brother is dead, will my lord kill her together?
yes, that's what the kid said.
When her brother died, she would die too.
