Chapter 110: Sister Tong
What's her name? "I don't say who it is, but the cow knows it, and the people in the house know it.
"Her name is Sister Tong, by the way, she knows how to read, she doesn't care about people, and we don't care about her." Niu Er was eating meat in his mouth and spoke slurredly, but when he mentioned Sister Tong, his little face was full of anger.
It turned out that she was called Sister Tong, yes, of course she was called Sister Tong, she should have thought of it a long time ago.
"You said that she went to the city to visit relatives a while ago, did Granny Ping pick her up, or did someone send her?" Shen Tong asked.
Niu Er didn't think about it, and said: "Someone sent her, or came back in a sedan chair, we all saw it, she was wearing silk clothes, and her shoes were also silk." ”
The sedan chair in the mouth of the cow is actually a shoulder, and two bamboo poles hold a chair, and when the lord in the yamen comes, he also sits on this.
"Do you remember what the person who sent her back was like?" Shen Tong asked.
"Well......" This question is difficult, Niu Er raised his chin and thought about it, and said, "It's an uncle." ”
Niu Er only remembered that it was an uncle, and he didn't remember what he looked like, and he probably didn't pay attention to it at the time, because his and Erya's attention was on the silk clothes on Sister Tong'er.
Shen Tong didn't have anything to ask, so he gave the cow with the bowl of meat, and the cow ran out happily with the bowl, and after a while, the old man came in to apologize, still holding the bowl of meat in his hand.
"Give it to the cow, I gave it to him." Shen Tong said.
The old man excused himself again, and finally went out with the meat, and the cheers of the cows were heard outside.
The children in the mountains are so simple, a bowl of meat can make them happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
"Miss Shen, that Sister Tong...... Could it be ......" Xu An asked hesitantly.
"It's my stand-in, the lady in Liujiawan said that the lost daughter is her." Shen Tong said.
Lu You didn't understand, but Xu An already understood.
The wife in Liujiawan, that is, who was taken away by Feiyuwei, is not the real Huang, the lost daughter she said should be Shen Tong, but it is not Shen Tong in front of her, the Huang family is fake, and the lost daughter is of course also fake.
"She even has the same name as you!" Lu You said in surprise.
Everyone in the village knew that the child's name was Sister Tong, and this name was not taken temporarily, but she had always called it this name for many years.
She was raised as Shen Tong since she was a child.
All three of them were speechless, it sounded unbelievable, but it did happen.
The people in the mountains were reluctant to use lamp oil, so they fell asleep as soon as it was dark, and the village gradually quieted down.
The mountains and the moon are bright, and the three figures walk in the moonlight under the cover of the shadows of the trees.
The night breeze is warm, mixed with sweet fragrance, from the head of the village to the end of the village, all the way to the fragrance of acacia flowers.
In the distance, you can see a large locust tree, this locust tree is thicker and bigger than the other trees in the village, it takes two people to hold it, and the locust flowers on this tree bloom better than elsewhere.
This is it.
It is a small courtyard, different from other courtyards in the village, not a fence enclosed by wooden stakes or bamboo chips, but a high wall made of bluestone, a square courtyard, and the inside cannot be seen from the outside.
Such a yard, such a wall, is incompatible with other people in the village, and the people in the village should be very angry with them, so the hostess of this house has not gone out for half a year, and the villagers do not feel strange, plus this family also has a very fierce mother-in-law Ping, who is not allowed to get close to the village by chasing the bear children to climb the tree and pick locust flowers.
Xu An scurried upward, to the second time, his hands on the high wall, he took a breath, climbed up in a few clicks, and threw his hand from above, Lu You held Shen Tong to send up, Shen Tong was pulled up by Xu An, and then Lu You also came up, and the three of them squatted on the wall, and the whole small courtyard was in full view.
There are five large and small rooms in the courtyard, three positive and two partial. Niu'er's house is also a small courtyard, but the houses in the yard are not so neat, one in the east and one in the west, but here is a formal courtyard.
There was a room with a light on, a creaking weaving sound, silhouettes reflected on the window paper, and the person in the window was a woman with a bun.
Xu An looked at Shen Tong, under the moonlight, Shen Tong looked at the silhouette on the window, his eyes were shining, as bright as a star.
Sensing that Xu An was looking at her, Shen Tong turned his face sideways and met Xu An's inquiring gaze.
Shen Tong said in a low voice: "Look at which room Sister Tong is in, and restrain her first." ”
Xu An was puzzled, if Sister Tong was Shen Tong's stand-in, then she was the same age as Shen Tong. A little girl of this age, in addition to the one he met in the broken temple, he had only seen Shen Tong who was enough to compete with adults.
Shen Tong is such a calm and intelligent person, why would he be so jealous of a child?
Niu Er said that Granny Ping is very fierce, and she will chase and beat naughty children with sticks at every turn, thinking that she is also a powerful martial artist, and maybe she can also do martial arts, it stands to reason that Shen Tong should not let them restrain this Granny Ping first?
Seeing the hesitation on the two faces, Shen Tong lowered his voice and said, "Restrain that Sister Tong first." ”
She didn't explain, she just repeated what she said just now, that is, she wanted them to restrain Sister Tong first.
Lu You wanted to ask again, but Shen Tong was already like a little civet cat, quietly jumping on the wall and jumping into the yard.
Xu An and Lu You did not hesitate, and also jumped down.
According to Xu An's original idea, this matter should be left to him and Lu You, restrain Granny Ping, and then let Shen Tong enter the house to see the woman.
That woman is likely to be Shen Tong's aunt Huang, they are men, avoid collision.
But the development of things was beyond their expectations, Shen Tong led the way into the courtyard, but instead of rushing to the house where the weaving sound came from, she walked around the courtyard, as if looking for something.
Although this courtyard is a little special compared to the rest of the village, it is just a slightly neat courtyard.
Could it be that Shen Tong is still worried about an ambush here?
Lu You wanted to ask, but Xu An didn't want to delay, so he bumped him with his elbow and went towards the west room.
The woman weaves cloth in the east room, indicating that this is her house, and Granny Ping is obviously a servant, so Sister Tong should live in the west room.
But Xu An guessed wrong, when they rushed in, there was no one in the western room!
There were no lights, and even if they pierced the window paper, they couldn't see inside, so they broke down the door.
Although they were careful, there was movement, and there was a sound coming from the side room, followed by the sound of the window being opened.
Xu An secretly screamed that it was not good, and Shen Tong asked them to restrain Sister Tong, but they didn't even find anyone, so they alarmed the others.
The two of them exited the west room, and were about to go out, when they saw Shen Tong flash in from outside, pointed to the east room, and signaled them to watch outside, she was going in.
