Section 111 Chapter 111 Brown Rice Crackers

Finding that there was a faint light outside, Lu Xiang'er knew that the night had passed. She didn't expect that she would sit all night without sleep until dawn. Moving slightly, Lu Xiang'er felt that her whole body was a little sore because she had been in one position for too long. Slowly got out of bed and stood on the ground and stretched for a while, Lu Xiang'er felt a lot more comfortable.

For some reason, Lu Xiang'er didn't sleep all night, but she was not tired at all, but she was very energetic. Even her mind seemed to be much clearer than it was yesterday. Sitting at the table and pouring herself a cup of herbal tea, Lu Xiang'er began to think. She was thinking about how to deal with Liao Wenzhuo after he came, so as to achieve the goal of delaying time. After thinking about it, Lu Xianger couldn't think of the most suitable way, so she planned to wait for Liao Wenzhuo to see the opportunity to act.

Taking advantage of this time, Lu Xiang'er began to think about the problem that she had been thinking about all night. Who leaked Huo Qingsong's strategy and let her be taken captive. Speaking, this night, Lu Xiang'er didn't waste time, what she was most suspicious about now was the people around her and Lu Hong.

In addition to Huo Qingsong's people, the Lu family's side knows about this strategy, except for Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng, who are elegant. Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng have stayed in the Lu family in Jiangling Mansion for three years, and they are obviously not their couple. As for Liao Wenbo, although I don't know if Qingya told Liao Wenbo, with the relationship between him and Liao Wenzhuo, how could their brothers be united. Therefore, Qingya is the person who makes Lu Xianger doubt the most.

If Qingya said that she talked about it unintentionally, she let Liao Wenzhuo know and use it. Lu Xiang'er didn't blame her too much for Lu Hong's sake. But if Qingya did it on purpose, it really wasn't Lu Xiang'er's own business.

Assuming that Qingya really framed Lu Xiang'er like this, then she must not be sincere when she approaches Lu Hong and likes Lu Hong. Let's not talk about why Qingya hates Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong so much, and uses Qingya to deceive Lu Hong's affection, Lu Xiang'er will not forgive her lightly. What's more, how old are Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hongcai, and they have never met Qingya, how can they have a grudge.

"Could it be that Qingya got the wrong person, or did we inadvertently offend her?" Lu Xiang'er thought about it, then immediately shook her head and said to herself, "It's not right." Qingya actually took revenge with her own reputation, obviously a deep hatred. How could such a big hatred be mistaken? ”

Lu Xiang'er paced slowly back and forth in the room, wondering whether she was thinking wrong, whether it was someone else who leaked the plan, not Qingya. But except for the Lu family, it is the Zhichong Mansion. Now in the Zhichong Mansion under Huo Qingsong's control, it is even more impossible for there to be spies. Otherwise, how could Huo Qingsong win more and lose less in the counterinsurgency in the self-unification army, and once again spread the prestige of General Huo to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Just thinking about it, Lu Xiang'er, who was lowering her head, saw a shadow suddenly appear on the ground, and it became longer and longer. Lu Xiang'er understood that someone was coming, so she immediately sat down at the table and made a 'drinking water'. As soon as she sat down and picked up her teacup, the door was pushed open. The man in black, who had been delivering food to Lu Xiang'er before, walked in again with the food.

After the man in black put down the food and left, Lu Xiang'er immediately picked up the chopsticks and ate it, which is strange to say, Lu Xiang'er couldn't eat anything yesterday, but after a sleepless night, she felt 'hungry'. Before the door was pushed open, Lu Xiang'er smelled the fragrance, and her stomach screamed a few times because of this.

After eating, Lu Xiang'er lifted her spirits and waited for Liao Wenzhuo's arrival. But until the sun was three strokes, Lu Xianger didn't see Liao Wenzhuo's shadow. Thinking about whether something happened so that Liao Wenzhuo didn't come, Lu Xiang'er immediately became a little happy. Anyway, Liao Wenzhuo, who was so anxious about soju, didn't come, which was good news for Lu Xiang'er.

When Lu Xiang'er was happy, the door was opened again, and this time there was not just one man in black, but three. Seeing the things in the hands of the three of them, Lu Xiang'er's face immediately turned pale. Her heart immediately swelled with the thought of running away from the door.

"Little lady Lu, if you are honest, you can suffer less." The man in black who delivered the meal saw the panic flashing in Lu Xiang'er's eyes, and seemed to remember something, and added: "Little lady Lu, don't worry, you won't be bored this time." ”

As she spoke, the other two black-clothed men had already walked up to Lu Xiang'er, and tied her firmly with the rope and cloth strips in their hands. However, Lu Xiang'er did not tie her feet this time, but added an extra black cloth to cover her eyes.

Lu Xiang'er couldn't see anything, and she couldn't speak, so she could only be led by someone and walk slowly forward with the rope tied to her hand. Hearing the sound of 'be careful of the threshold' in her ears, Lu Xiang'er suddenly had a feeling that she was going to be taken to a secret place and secretly executed.

However, although there was nothing, Lu Xiang'er walked out of the house again, felt the heat of the sun shining on her body, and heard a faint noise, and she suddenly realized that she was not in the wilderness. Thinking of being taken away and put in a wooden barrel for a long time, Lu Xiang'er was overjoyed. She thought that she might be in Gangneung Mansion, and she couldn't help but shout 'help'. But with her mouth moving, Lu Xiang'er's mood slowly calmed down again.

At this moment, Lu Xiang'er felt that the person holding the rope suddenly stopped, and she also stopped. After that, Lu Xiang'er heard the 'creak' of the door opening, and then the people in front began to move around again. Lu Xiang'er had no choice but to follow the pull of the rope and lift her feet.

"Watch out for the steps." Fortunately, the man in black who delivered the meal reminded him in time, otherwise Lu Xiang'er would almost have stepped on the air. Lu Xiang'er scolded secretly, and then felt a cool air coming towards her. And there seemed to be something mixed in the cool air here, and Lu Xiang'er's little nose immediately moved.

But before Lu Xiang'er could distinguish anything, the black clothes that her eyes were tied were untied. Lu Xiang'er hurriedly closed her eyes, got used to it, and then slowly opened them. Suddenly, a dim oil lamp on the wall fell into Lu Xiang'er's eyes. After a quick look at this, Lu Xiang'er had a hint of enlightenment.

This is a cellar that is not too deep, but the exit is small and inconspicuous. Moreover, this cellar was put in something before, and it has just been cleared out. Although the cellar was spilled with wine, it was impossible to smell what was put here before. But Lu Xiang'er has a sensitive nose that is different from ordinary people, as long as she calms down, she can smell the smell.

"Little lady Lu, you have to live here for the time being. As for when I'll be able to get out of here, I don't know. The man in black who delivered the meal saw that Lu Xiang'er asked and said anything, and his heart was a little strange. Untied the rope in Lu Xiang'er's hand, but his words were more. Feeling the gaze of the other two, he finally said again: "Little lady Lu, you'd better be honest like in that wooden house." ”

After speaking, the three men in black walked out of the cellar one after another. Moreover, they also took away the only oil lamp on the wall. Lu Xiang'er sat in the darkness, and could only see a glimmer of light coming through the door. Thinking of her scene at this time, Lu Xianger really wanted to cry without tears.

Although Lu Xiang'er is not afraid of the dark, but this is a cellar, who knows if there will be mice or something, she is most afraid of this kind of small animal. Thinking of this little animal, Lu Xiang'er immediately put her feet on the plank bed. Holding her knees, Lu Xiang'er looked at the glimmer of light, bored thinking about why she had been 'moved' to the cellar. Of course, there is another thing that makes Lu Xiang'er happy, she is in Jiangling Mansion at this time.

There was nothing to do left and right, and Lu Xiang'er imagined that Huo Qingsong and Lu Hong were looking for her everywhere, and they were still with soldiers. Therefore, Liao Wenzhuo was afraid that she would be searched, so she moved to the cellar. The more Lu Xiang'er thought about it, the more happy she became. Since Liao Wenzhuo is 'afraid', the place where Lu Xiang'er is now must not be a remote place.

"What kind of place could this be?" Lu Xiang'er turned her head sideways, thinking back to the cellar just now in the dim light. I have to say that the cellar was very clean, and there was not a single superfluous thing. But Lu Xiang'er pursed her lips and disagreed, she couldn't see it, but she could smell it.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiang'er closed her eyes and carefully distinguished the slightest smell in the air. After a while, Lu Xiang'er whispered to herself: "Some weird acid, what could it be?" It's strange how this smell feels familiar. ”

Recognizing the smell in the cellar, Lu Xiang'er thought back to the dilapidated house. Thinking of the inconspicuous powder in the corner of the wall, as well as the traces of the table being lowered, Lu Xiang'er couldn't help but frown. These three things are connected, Lu Xiang'er feels very familiar, but when she thinks of what it is, it is very vague.

Lu Xianger really couldn't think of it, so she gave up, and thought about things related to Qingya again. Thinking that Lu Hong wanted to stay with Qingya for a while, Qingya and Liao Wenbo would leave the two of them for dinner every time they went to Lu's house. Sometimes, Lu Xianger has to hide out under the pretext of buying ingredients. Unexpectedly, all of this was Qingya's intention to get close to their brother and sister.

"Wait, buy the ingredients......" Lu Xiang'er thought of something, and immediately clapped her hands and said: "I know what it is, that's the powder of brown rice cakes, that's ......"

"That's right, these powders are brown rice flour powder." Fang Zhexing rushed to Huo Qingsong with those powders.

Huo Qingsong dipped his fingers a little, looked at his fingers suspiciously, and said curiously: "Brown rice noodles, what are they used for?" ”

"Brown rice is ground into powder, steamed and then made into small cakes, which are called brown rice cakes." Fang Zhe thought for a moment before continuing: "Brown rice cakes can be used to brew wine, soy sauce, and vinegar...... However, in Gangneung Province, brown rice crackers are most commonly used to make vinegar. ”
