Chapter 549: I Heard
Chang'an City under the heavy rain is not as lively as in the past, and the shops are closed early, leaving only lanterns on the road sticks to illuminate the night road. For ordinary people, such a road is dim and difficult to see clearly, but for her, it is enough.
A few hours ago, she was still sitting in the Yin and Yang Division of the Imperial City, crossing Erlang's legs, dozing off boredly, thinking that time was passing too slowly, waiting for the next time. Little did she expect that a few hours later, she would run wildly on a rainy night, step on the roof, jump up with her strength, and go straight on the roof.
It was a large area of twists and turns, and the alleys were inhabited by civilians living in Chang'an City, and the houses were dense and messy, and it was even more difficult to make out on such a rainy night. But none of this bothered her, and the girl walked through the roof with unmistakable accuracy.
There are naughty children who sleep too much during the day and can't sleep at night, rolling around in bed, in good spirits. At that moment, a loud noise was heard from the roof, accompanied by the sound of tiles shattering. I couldn't help screaming: "There are people on our roof!" ”
Throwing a shoe sole in the dark: "Dog, can't you sleep yet?" On this rainy day, cats and dogs don't come out, what can you hear? ”
Isn't it? All sounds were covered by the sound of the rain.
After a long time of walking through this labyrinth of alleys, the girl finally jumped off the roof and knocked on the door of the house in front of her.
After a while, a crack opened in the door of the house, and someone looked at her from behind the door, Xu is the girl in front of her was too embarrassed, her hair was wet and messy, and she didn't recognize it for a while.
"You're knocking on the wrong door."
"It's me!" Two voices rang out at the same time.
The person behind the door was a little surprised, looked her up and down, and hurriedly opened the door: "Master Weitian, what happened, how did you get like this?" Come on in! ”
"No, do me a favor!"
"Okay!"
……
……
Wei Tongzhi held the shovel and sighed while touching his waist. He's not a man who is good at manual labor, let alone this kind of weather? What is he doing on a rainy day on weekdays? Reading in the study, thinking about the political affairs of the DPRK and China, or having rested. In short, it is by no means like now, digging in the rain, shovel by shovel.
The overseer, who had been surrounded at first, did not dare to slack off, and as he dug and wiped his eyes, sweat and rain mixed with his eyes, and there was a stinging pain in his eyes: they had tried their best, but they had been digging for so long, and they were still nowhere to be seen, and it was evident how deep those craftsmen had been buried.
"Uncle, did you hear anything?" The girl's voice suddenly sounded, startling Wei Tongzhi.
The sentence preceded this sentence was when she said that her stomach was upset and she left for a while. Then...... After that, he didn't notice the child again, and he didn't even know when she would come back, because it was raining so heavily, and it was hard to see people through the rain curtains, and now everyone was wearing a robe, and it was not easy to identify.
"What sound?" Wei Tongzhi dug another shovel, held his sore waist, and looked at the girl, what could he hear with such a loud rain.
"There." The girl said, walking to the place where the stones were piled up not far away, "There was a sound from that place, like someone was knocking on something. ”
As soon as these words came out, many people stopped and followed her, "Here it is!" The girl said.
"Nope!" Someone listened for a while.
The girl bowed her head: "Listen to it again!" ”
"Still ......" was silenced in the middle of the sentence, and sure enough, a slight knocking sound came. The crowd immediately became excited and beckoned everyone: "Come here and dig!" ”
Sure enough, digging down here, it didn't take long to see people. Fortunately, except for the fright and bruises, the craftsman and Yang Gong who were trapped inside were fine.
Someone brought in a rope and helped pull the people up one by one.
On a rainy day, almost everyone was dressed in a smock, and there were a few more people at night, and no one noticed that there were a few fewer people. A few people walked out of the crowd and saw that they were a little farther away from the crowd. Wei Yaoqing saluted a few people at this time: "This time, thank you a few people." ”
It is the imperial mausoleum, that is what the captains of the gold school are good at, the tomb collapse, the school captain has experienced a lot, and he knows better where to start after the collapse to save people. So, she went to invite Wen Tao and his two brothers.
"It's a gesture." Wen Tao returned the salute and looked at her with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to be able to do ventriloquism." ”
Fang Cai's knocking sound was not made by the person below, but her ventriloquism.
The girl smiled: "I thought it was interesting, so I learned a few tricks." ”
She seems to have been born with a talent for such three-and-nine-rate methods, and when she learned the art of disguise, she could not only disguise, but also imitate the voice of the person being disguised, so her disguise was a higher level than ordinary people.
Wen Tao is not a person who likes to ask more, and seeing that the person has been found, he arched his hand and left with the person.
It was finally a false alarm, and when he arrived home with Wei Tongyuan, no one in the family fell asleep, and he knew that he was fine, so he was relieved.
Li wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, and was about to step forward to bandage Wei Tongyuan. During the collapse, Wei Tongyuan suffered some abrasions.
"Li, don't do it, hurry up and take the second sister down to rest today!" But Mrs. Zhou spoke up, "Early tomorrow morning, the banquet guests of the Huaiguo Mansion must not be sloppy." This is not only the face of our old Wei family, but also the face of Cui Cong's child, if you don't have a good rest, what will you do tomorrow? ”
Li didn't want to leave, but she had always been cowardly, and Mrs. Zhou's words were reasonable, so she responded, just looking at Wei Tongyuan's bruises: "Husband, this injury ...... you?"
"I'll do it!" Wei Yaoqing stretched out her hand, and everyone found that when they saw them, they went to get gauze scissors and soju, but they didn't delay a little effort.
Old Madam Zhou nodded appreciatively: "This girl is a spirit!" ”
Except for Wei Tongzhi, the people in the long room also retreated. Wei Yaoqing took the soju gauze to bandage Wei Tongyuan.
Wei Tongyuan smiled happily: "My sixth sister is really reassuring and steady. ”
Wei Tongzhi didn't pay attention to this, but just answered: "Speaking of which, you really want to thank Sixth Sister, I waited for a long time, if it weren't for her clever ears and heard the sound of you knocking on things below, I wouldn't have found you so quickly." ”
"Knock something? Nope! Wei Tongyuan was a little surprised, "I'm waiting to check the acceptance, I don't have anything at hand, how can I knock?" ”
"Maybe someone used a stone or something!" Wei Tongzhi didn't dwell on these inconsequential trivial matters, and the topic changed to the banquet of the Huaiguo Mansion tomorrow, "Tomorrow is the banquet of the Huaiguo Mansion." ”
"What's the reason?" Wei Yaoqing quickly helped Wei Tongyuan bandage it with the movements in her hand, cut off the excess gauze with scissors, and asked.
"The fortieth birthday of the prince of the country, I originally heard that I was not going to make a big swing, but it is said that the thirteenth birthday of the third lady of the Tonghuai Guogong Mansion happened to be heavy, so it was a big swing." Wei Tongzhi said, "Speaking of which, the prince has been ill for a while because of his wife's affairs, and he has only recently come to be busy with the affairs of the court. ”
Wei Yaoqing still remembers this stubble, at that time, He Taiping took advantage of this incident to check the Xue family of Huaiguo Gong, but in vain.
"The prince of the country is not very good, but the eldest daughter of his family is really good, when the prince is sick, she is supporting the Xue family." Wei Tongzhi said with emotion.
"Miss Xue has returned to Beijing?" Wei Yaoqing took the scissors, a little surprised, "Why haven't you heard of it?" ”
