Chapter 114 Something Happened
[Chapter 3, Volume 3]
Verse 114 114 is a coincidence
"Little lady Lu, I'm sorry, you have to be wronged for a while."
The man in black said very politely, but his tone was cold. Especially when the top of her head was covered with a round wooden plank, Lu Xiang'er actually saw the cold light flashing in the eyes of the man in black. Lu Xiang'er had never looked like that, which made her heart feel a chill.
This chill made Lu Xiang'er have a very bad feeling, and she immediately writhed her whole body desperately, trying to get out of this big wooden barrel. Although Lu Xiang'er was tied hands and feet, the desire and hope to survive dominated her to use all her strength, and the big wooden barrel really shook because of it.
Soon, the wooden board above Lu Xiang'er's head was removed. Feeling the sunshine, Lu Xianger tried hard to speak, but could only find the sound of 'hmm' and 'hmm'. But the man in black didn't pull Lu Xiang'er out, but after looking at her a few times, he knocked Lu Xiang'er unconscious with a knife.
After that, two more men in black laid out the plank and poured brown rice on it until it was finally covered. The carriage, which was loaded with four large barrels, soon left from the rear of the 'Zhuo Kee Rice Vinegar'. After the carriage turned into an alley, Chaoxia came from the other direction.
In other words, Lu Xiang'er was moved to the cellar by the man in black, sat in the dark, and finally understood with her sensitive nose that the place where she was should be a shop for brewing 'vinegar'. Thinking that among all the shops in Jiangling Mansion, only 'Zhuo Ji Rice Vinegar' had something to do with Liao Wenzhuo, Lu Xianger immediately understood where she was.
Lu Xianger remembers very well that once when Liao Wenbo and Qingya were guests at Lu's house, they happened to run out of vinegar at home. Lu Xianger, who had nothing to do, came to the shop of 'Zhuo Ji Rice Vinegar' to buy vinegar under the leadership of Liao Wenbo. It was also at that time that Lu Xianger knew that the shop of 'Zhuo Ji Rice Vinegar' belonged to Liao Wenzhuo. Thinking about what Liao Wenbo said, the words mentioned by His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Lu Xiang'er also understood why she was locked up here.
However, this is not the time to think about this shop. Lu Xiang'er was moved to the cellar, it can't be for no reason, something must have happened. Thinking about it further, Lu Xiang'er was very suspicious that Huo Qingsong had already used the name of Zhechong Mansion to take Lu Hong to hunt down the 'Chen Wangyu Party' in Jiangling Mansion with great fanfare. And Liao Wenzhuo was afraid that Huo Qingsong would search for Lu Xiang'er here, so he moved her to the cellar.
However, Lu Xiang'er did not consider this cellar to be a long-term place. After all, if Huo Qingsong searched the whole city, it couldn't be a day or two, and it was impossible to search once, and Liao Wenzhuo would definitely move her to another place. Then, Lu Xiang'er can't just let others play with her.
Lu Xiang'er closed her eyes and thought about how to leave some clues for Huo Qingsong to find herself, thinking that her hands were wrapped around and slowly placed on her knees. And the knot of the red rope tied around Lu Xiang'er's neck, rubbing against the collar made her a little itchy, and she couldn't help but reach out to scratch it.
This knot didn't tickle Lu Xiang'er once or twice, Lu Xiang'er had already unconsciously reached out to relieve the itch. But when she withdrew her hand, she remembered the knife she had tied around her neck, but it was the knife that Lu Tai gave her. When Lu Xianger was in Qinghe Village, she still used this knife to earn back money for her family for the first time.
"yes, how did I forget you." Lu Xiang'er was overjoyed and hurriedly took out the knife. By the faint light that came through the cellar door, the gem on the knife was glittering.
Lu Xiang'er knew very well how sharp the knife was, so she carefully pulled the knife out of its sheath. Feeling the cold light coming from the blade of the knife, Lu Xiang'er began to look around. She was looking for a place where she could not be discovered by the black-clothed people outside, and she could also let Huo Qingsong or Lu Hong find it.
Finally, Lu Xiang'er remembered that when she and Lu Hong were in Qingshi County, she and Lu Hong heard Chaoxia talk about the unique code when they were traveling as rangers, and those people passed on the news. But Lu Xiang'er didn't know the black-clothed people outside, and she didn't know if she knew those codes, so she had to be more careful.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiang'er slowly got down from the plank bed and walked gently to the door of the cellar. found an inconspicuous place in the wooden door, and Lu Xiang'er took a knife and drew an arrow on it. Then she crept back to the plank bed.
This makeshift plank bed is very simple, and with a single force, you can turn over a board underneath. Lu Xiang'er was like this, holding a knife and scratching a few words on the board. And just as she had finished writing her name, she heard movement outside. Lu Xiang'er hurriedly put the planks away and laid out the mattress. As soon as she sat on it, the door to the cellar was opened.
This time, it was the man in black who Lu Xianger was somewhat familiar with before. He looked at Lu Xiang'er with an inquiring gaze for a long time by the light of the oil lamp held by the two people behind him. It wasn't until Lu Xiang'er wanted to ask that he said with certainty as if he was questioning: "Little lady Lu is still very capable, and she can cause such a big movement." ”
"What did you say?" Lu Xiang'er sensed that he was talking about what was happening outside, so she pretended to ask casually. In fact, she really wanted to hear what the man in black had to say, although Lu Xiang'er didn't know what the man in black was going to do when he came to the cellar this time.
The man in black was very cautious, and did not continue, but said: "Little lady Lu, I still hope you are honest. After speaking, he waved his hand, and the man in black behind him immediately stepped forward with a rope that Lu Xiang'er was familiar with.
Lu Xiang'er was slightly stunned, she didn't expect them to come and remove her so soon. But even if she wanted to say 'no', the man in black wouldn't pay attention to her opinion. Therefore, Lu Xiang'er didn't resist much, and obediently let the black clothes tie her hands and gag her mouth.
When this person was about to cover Lu Xiang'er's eyes, the person standing there immediately said, "No need, let her take another look." ”
Lu Xiang'er didn't have to cover her eyes, of course she was very happy, but it made her heart feel strange. Follow the three men in black out of the cellar. Lu Xiang'er saw clearly that the place where she was a yard full of all kinds of miscellaneous items. In the courtyard, there are wooden barrels for rice, and various jars that resemble those used for brewing sake, and I think they are filled with vinegar. Everything in this courtyard proves what Lu Xiang'er thinks, she is in the 'Zhuo Ji Rice Vinegar' shop.
Several black-clothed men ignored Lu Xiang'er, who was looking around, but carried a large wooden barrel and placed it in the courtyard. When Lu Xiang'er saw this big wooden barrel, her face immediately turned white again. That experience made her remember it deeply. Even if Lu Xiang'er returns home safely, I am afraid that for a long time, she will be afraid of such a big wooden barrel.
The man in black looked at Lu Xiang'er, and his tone was a little colder: "Little lady Lu, I will definitely not let you suffocate this time." Are you going to go in by yourself, or are you going to let me wait for my son to carry you in. ”
Listening to what the man in black said, Lu Xiang'er tensed all over, walked stiffly towards the big wooden barrel, and jumped into it by herself. When she was captured, Lu Xiang'er was directly covered in a large cloth bag, and was carried away by the corner of the cloth bag. After that, she was run away with a cloth bag on her back, and Lu Xianger really didn't be touched by these people.
As for how Lu Xiang'er got to the wooden bed in the room after she fainted, Lu Xiang'er didn't worry about anything. Because after she woke up, she could already smell the smell of incense powder on her body. Come to think of it, it should be Liao Wenzhuo who asked his maid to carry Lu Xiang'er into the room.
He had never been touched by a man before, and it was even more impossible for Lu Xiang'er to let the two tall men in black hug him at this time. But when she jumped into the barrel, she saw the look in the eyes of the familiar man in black that she had never seen before, that is, the scene at the beginning.
After filling the large wooden barrel with rice, the three black-clothed people took off their black clothes, revealing their true appearances. The man in black who was familiar with Lu Xiang'er was about twenty years old, and he looked good and looked like a scholar. It's just that his face is a little white, as if he hasn't seen the sun for a long time. The other two were two burly middle-aged men with indifferent expressions.
If Fang Zhe was here at this time, he would definitely recognize this pale young man. Because when he was investigating Liao Wenzhuo, he would often see Liao Wenzhuo getting together with one of his classmates at Luming Academy. This classmate is this young 'scholar' Shi Jun. Shi Jun still went to the school outside the city with Liao Wenzhuo to test the martial arts on that day, and returned to Jiangling Mansion together.
"Childe, you don't have to go with us. We can still handle this little thing. "After the two middle-aged men changed into the clothes worn by the guys in the 'Zhuo Ji Rice Vinegar' shop, they gave a salute to the pale-faced Shi Jun.
Shi Jun looked at the big wooden barrel for a long time before nodding and said, "Okay, I won't go out of the city with you." But you two have to be careful, we don't have many of us. Also, if possible, let her die more comfortably. As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and a token from his bosom and handed them to the two of them.
The two of them received two objects, and then they saluted Shi Jun again, and said in unison: "Don't worry, Childe, we will try to make her die a happy death." ”
"Well, let's go. Save Liao Wenzhuo from discovering that he lost his token, and finding this place to bump into you will affect our cooperation. Shi Jun waved his hand and watched as the two men carried the large wooden barrel out of the courtyard, put it on the carriage and slowly walked towards the back door of the shop.
After seeing the carriage out of the back door, Shi Juncai sighed lightly, turned around and walked towards the front storefront. While walking slowly, he took out a golden hairpin from his arms, shook his head and said, "When will you recognize the reality and stop having that ethereal dream." But as long as you tell me, I will do it even if I die......"
