Chapter 70: A Critical Moment
Things went unexpectedly well, which made Song Xiaochi feel uneasy while rejoicing, and there was always a faint worry in the bottom of his heart, but now this situation is not the time to doubt his luck, so he can only run forward.
"Hey, what are you doing out there?"
In the Lu family's house, two servants led a dozen servants of the Song family and the Tan family to search room by room, and the cries of the children of the Lu family who were awakened in their sleep lingered in their ears.
One of the servants of the Song family went out, but was stopped by his companions, "What are you lazy to steal at this time, that guy will definitely go to Ping'an to sue you when he sees it, and then you will not only not get the reward, but you will also be punished, now it is different from the past, we people should be careful." ”
"People have three urgencies, even in front of him Wu Ping'an, I say so!"
The man ignored his companion as he spoke, shook his hand and walked out.
Speaking of which, I don't know if it's this person's luck, or Song Xiaochi's luck and coral's luck value is only so much, that person just walked to the eaves of the Lu family, looking for a corner and was about to solve the three urgent problems, when he happened to see a figure appear at the corner in the middle of the alley.
The figure flashed by, and the light of the lanterns hanging in front of the doors of several houses seemed to be unable to penetrate the darkness and shine on him, although the man could not determine from the fleeting back whether the person who suddenly appeared at this time was a man or a woman.
But he is not stupid, and his reaction is quite quick, isn't the purpose of their trip to find someone?
And it has been determined that the person is in this Huaihua Hutong, so on such a snowy night, no matter who it is, even if it is named Huazi, as long as it appears in this Huaihua Hutong, it is abnormal.
"There's someone out there, running down the trail!"
Sanjian was not in a hurry, this person shouted at the house, pulled his legs and went to chase, and the companion who happened to stop him before also came out under the excuse of Sanjiao, he thought that his companion was in a mood, after all, they were all the henchmen of Steward Song before, and the life spent in the Bofu was honest, more nourishing than those unfavored masters.
But now that the old lady has fallen, the second master doesn't even care about face, and directly promotes Wu Ping'an beside him to the position of the second housekeeper.
said that it was the second housekeeper, but as the old uncle's confidant, the rights of Steward Song in the Bofu were almost all hollowed out, and Ping An is now nominally the second housekeeper, but it is the right of the chief housekeeper who drives.
And these people who used to be the right and left hands of Steward Song, although they are not struggling in Bofu, but compared with before, it is a world of difference.
The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, the same is true in the small mansion, and they have to accept it if they are not angry in their hearts.
And this subordinate who was about to come out to persuade his companion had not yet left the gate of Lu's house, when he heard the shouting of his companion, he was startled, and hurriedly ran a few steps, and saw his companion running towards the path in the middle of the alley.
The companion must have discovered something, and the man understood it in a flash, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly ran into the house to inform the others.
The most important thing is to inform and the two officials in the main hall of the Lu family, who are being entertained by the head of the Lu family, and the second housekeeper of Ping An who drinks tea and eats snacks.
"Girl, someone is chasing after you!"
As Coral ran, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind her, faster and heavier than her and the girl's, and it must have been a man.
It didn't take much thought for Coral to know that it must have been the searchers who had discovered them.
"There's only one person, get rid of him quickly."
Song Xiaochi said, then turned into a road on the left, this is also an alley, narrower than Huaihua Hutong, when it can accommodate a carriage to pass, on both sides of the alley are lined up in turn, the house is not as big as Huaihua Hutong, it should be a small door and a small family.
At this time, the lanterns in front of the houses in this alley had been extinguished, and Song Xiaochi and Coral could only support each other and run forward under the faint snow light.
But they didn't dare to stop, and the footsteps behind them not only did not disappear, but became clearer and clearer.
Suddenly, Song Xiaochi frowned, and his heart sank fiercely.
Coral had already looked back, and at this glance, her face suddenly turned pale, because there was more than one person behind her, probably all of them were chasing after her.
"Girl...... "They can't escape."
Song Xiaochi's footsteps did not stop, but although he was still walking, it was as heavy as lead.
I don't know when, the snow has stopped, and the eyes seem to be much brighter, looking up, the clean and clear sky, I don't know when a few stars have been dotted sporadically, although the light is faint, but it shines straight to the land that is beyond words.
"The moon actually came out, God really doesn't open his eyes!"
Coral hateful road, Song Xiaochi looked, no, the looming first quarter moon loomed under the thin clouds, and the few scattered stars had disappeared at some point, leaving only a lonely moon hanging in the sky.
Song Xiaochi's heart moved, this scene ......
"Big girl, is it big girl? The small one is safe, the big girl don't run away, the four gates of the entire closed city are all guarded by the people of the uncle's mansion, the big girl, you can't escape, it's better to stop the precipice, the second master can't say that he will look at the uncle and nephew, and the big girl will be lightly punished! ”
Song Xiaochi no longer had the heart and time to think about it, and there was a shout of peace behind him, which was half inducing and half threatening.
She and Coral have always been women in the house, and where can they outrun those subordinates who walk outside all the year round, not to mention that there are two officials who know some martial arts among these people, in this case, peace can be well organized, and she and Coral are destined to be caught.
But she was unwilling!
A breeze blew, and a refreshing plum fragrance wafted from nowhere, in the cold and biting snow night, like a light that suddenly appeared, paving a way for Song Xiaochi's master and servant to escape.
Finally, at this moment, in the clearer and clearer footsteps behind her, in the faint fragrance of plums lingering on the tip of her nose, and under the faint moonlight of the lonely moon on the black-gray sky, she remembered the night not so far away, the adventure that catalyzed her to change.
"The lonely moon is cold and starry night, and the plum fragrance is in the snowy sky. Fengqi sycamore branches, Xie Lang stepped on the wind. ”
But the last two sentences are missing, it is not at this moment, it is not because of his misunderstanding, but it is not that the Liuhyun Zhenjun is just leaving a thought for himself!
"Girl, they're coming!"
There was a coral anxious and frightened voice in her ears, she turned around and stopped behind Song Xiaochi, as if she had suddenly made a life and death decision, and at the moment she turned around, she whispered in Song Xiaochi's ear: "Girl, the slave and maid are dragging them, you run away!"
As he spoke, he was about to push Song Xiaochi to flee forward.
That's it!
Song Xiaochi grabbed the coral who wanted to run back and wanted to drag the dozen or so men with his body or even his life, ready to be captured.
