Chapter 22: The Soft Knife
Shen Tong ran out of five or six miles in one breath, fell on her back in a bush with her back to the sky, and looked at the starry sky, she realized one thing.
Has she escaped the fate of being a dead soldier?
There was no strength anymore, and the young body was tired and hungry, but Shen Tong still laughed.
Yes, at this time in her previous life, she took cold food powder, and in a daze, Tao Shiyi handed her over to Tu Wei, thinking that at that time, Tao Shiyi must have told Tu Wei that she was seriously ill and had not recovered, so she would be groggy.
And at this moment in this life, she is lying in the barren mountains and mountains enjoying the starlight tonight...... It didn't seem much better, but at least she could choose what she wanted to do in the next moment, the path she wanted to take.
She learned from Fang Fei that the child she bought from Wang Yapo that day was not only Fang Fei and Chun Que, but after arriving at the Tao family, Fang Fei had never seen that child.
Before this, Shen Tong mistakenly thought that the child was also the stand-in that Tao Shiyi prepared for herself, but when she told Tu Wei about the child, she knew that she had guessed wrong! If that child was her stand-in, Tao Shiyi would definitely fight for it, but the moment she flew out of the screen, she saw horror on Tao Shiyi's face, it was the horror after the secret was punctured, she had seen this look more than once in her previous life.
Listening to Fang Fei, it was a girl, Fang Fei felt that she was familiar, but she didn't remember seeing it at Wang Yapo, at that time Wang Yapo had ten children in her hands, in addition to Fang Fei and Chunque, there were two girls and six boys, and this child was definitely not any of the two girls.
"It's not a girl, it's a boy." Shen Tong said to himself, "What is Uncle Tao going to do when he buys a boy dressed as a man?" Oh, by the way, he has two sons. ”
Shen Tong smiled again, this cousin is really a delicate person.
Shen Tong lay down for a long stick of incense before she got up to find water to drink, after pouring a stomach full of river water, Shen Tong let out a long sigh of relief, she jumped up and continued to run, she had already fallen behind the Guan family, if she didn't run faster, she would only see Tao Shiyi's corpse.
Today she inserted two knives into Tao Shiyi, one is a real knife inserted in Tao Shiyi's body, and the other is a soft knife that cannot be seen by the naked eye, this soft knife asked Tu Wei to hand over Tao Shiyi to the Guan family, which is actually to borrow a knife to kill.
So she had to hurry up and let Tao Shiyi tell her mother's whereabouts before Guan Mingjue made a move.
The night breeze was blowing, the dark blue sky was dotted with stars, like the sand of the Ganges, a boat quietly docked, and two servants dressed in strong clothes were the first to disembark, and then several people in the same costume, surrounded by a teenager, walked down from the boat.
The boy was fourteen or fifteen years old, with a green shirt and long robe, with delicate facial features and a face like a crown of jade, he walked slowly across the bridge and looked at the dark and gloomy town.
"This is Shangqiao Town, Mr. Qingyun's hometown, why does it look so desolate."
"Shizi, if it was eight or nine years ago, even at night, walking on the streets of Shangqiao Town, you could see students chanting poems with wine, those who read books, they liked to go to this ferry to watch the water and enjoy the moon, but now, it is not what it used to be." An attendant said.
The young man sighed: "Guan Liangbi is a scholar after all. ”
"Yes, I've read so many books, but I still can't figure it out, compared to the Shen family......"
Before the entourage's words were finished, he realized that he had said something wrong, so he quickly stopped, and said with a smile: "Shizi, you see that Qiao River has a beautiful scenery under the moon." ”
The young man laughed and walked towards Shangqiao Town, which was not far away.
Guan Mingjue is still in the small courtyard of the town, and he has been here half of the time in the past few days.
He looked at the hourglass in the corner of the house, pushed open the window, and the moonlight poured all over the ground.
"Master, Ah Si is back." A servant came in and said.
"Okay, let him in." Guan Mingjue turned the iron ball in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.
Ah Si never disappoints him, and this time, Ah Si is too.
"Ah Si also brought back Tao Shiyi, would you like to see it together, or ......," the servant asked.
"Tao Shiyi? He only brought back Tao Shiyi? What about the kid? The iron ball in his hand stopped rotating, and the smile on Guan Mingjue's face gradually faded.
"Only Tao Shiyi, the little one didn't see the child." The servant replied.
"Let Ah Si come in", Guan Mingjue paused and added, "Only let Ah Si come in." ”
Soon, Guan Mingjue knew about tonight's events. Tao Shiyi took Shen Tong to the Old Dragon King Temple, but half an hour later, Jia Laoqi's men carried Tao Shiyi out, and as soon as he came out, he shouted: "What about the people of the Guan family, don't hide, hurry up and carry this person away!" Don't stain the place of the Seventh Master. ”
Ah Si and a few of his subordinates who followed him were originally ambushed in the shadows waiting for an opportunity, but at this time, they were called to break the hide, so they had to show up.
Shangqiao Town is not big, Jia Laoqi's subordinates all eat in Shangqiao Town, and they have dealt with Ah Si's people more or less, so Ah Si asked a few more words: "What's wrong with this person?" Why did you Seventh Master carry people out? ”
The white face of the leader immediately said: "Don't mention our seventh master, our seventh master has nothing to do with this surnamed Tao." ”
Speaking of this, Bai Jing's face lowered his voice and said to Ah Si: "Go back and tell Master Guan that this surnamed Tao is not a good thing, eat inside and out, and sell your Master Guan cleanly." The big gift surnamed Tao has been accepted, but no one dares to accept him, the person who gave the gift, so he still gave it back to Master Guan. ”
Ah Si knew that someone asked him to say these words with a white face, as for who it was, of course, it was the person who accepted the gift but did not dare to accept Tao Shiyi.
That person just wanted to tell Guan Mingjue to know, so he brought these words back as they were.
The iron ball in Guan Mingjue's hand fell to the ground with a bang and rolled in front of Ah Si.
Ah Si fell to his knees: "Master, Ah Si didn't do a good job, Ah Si should be punished." ”
Guan Mingjue didn't speak, he paced to the window, looked at the moonlight in the courtyard, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "You didn't see that child?" ”
The big gift mentioned over there is, of course, the child, Ah Si only brought back Tao Shiyi, but did not bring back the child.
"When the child got out of the car, he was out of Tao Shiyi's grasp, and the little ones didn't have a chance to start."
What happened tonight, Ah Si really didn't expect it, he and his subordinates focused on Lao Jia who was driving the car, Tao Shiyi was a powerless scholar, and that child was just a child, but they never expected that when they got out of the car, an accident suddenly happened, and the child ran in in the blink of an eye, and they had no chance to make a move.
