(439) Strive for

Yang Xiaotao won back a city in the matter of selling horses, and became more and more arrogant. Liu Fang was secretly resentful in her heart, but since Zhao Chengdong now has money, the two daughters made a request together, "I'll help you keep the money."

"No" Zhao Chengdong glanced at the two of them left and right, and everyone was a little worried about locking the money into their room, and deliberately put on two locks, so they came out to eat with peace of mind.

Because he came back with the cash, he planned to go back to his room to rest after eating and drinking, but Liu Fang was thinking about the silver and wanted to scrape some oil and water out. Relying on Yang Xiaotao's body to be untidy, she couldn't have the same room, so she left the two children to the little cousin and the girl to take care of, and dragged Zhao Chengdong into her room.

Although Yang Xiaotao was jealous, during this period of time, she had no way at all in this regard, so she could only tell herself that she must be patient in order to live in the future.

Different from the hustle and bustle of the front yard, in the quiet backyard darkness, there is a pair of black eyes that are clearly different from the beast shining, but the light there is more greedy than the beast

The night quietly covered the earth, and the cold air of early spring spread, which was even more bitter than in the cold winter wax moon

When his younger brother Zhao Chengdong was about to rest, his brother Zhao Chengcai, who was far away in the capital, reluctantly opened his sour eyes.

I was in a trance, and I didn't know where I was. It was as if he was sleeping on a bed board as hard as ice, cold and hard, and he shivered from the cold. I wanted to move a little, but I felt that my whole body was like being pulled out of my bones, soft as a ball of cotton, and I couldn't exert any strength, but when I touched the heaviness of my hands and feet, it brought out a harsh sound of metal, which should be handcuffs and leg cuffs.

Where am I? He thought blankly, and soon, the burning pain in his chest pulled his reason back violently, and the scenes before he fell unconscious quickly returned to his mind, could it be ......

"Are you awake?" A gentle greeting, a young woman. There was a simple surprise in his voice, not like a bad person.

"Uh......" Zhao Chengcai wanted to ask who she was, and opened his mouth, but he could only utter a monotone syllable of unknown meaning. The throat is like a lump of cotton, and I can't swallow it and spit it out, which is extremely uncomfortable.

"Don't move to bandage the wound, be careful to break it"

With a sound of rubbing the floor, the woman lit the oil lamp, bringing a close-up light. Zhao Chengcai turned his head with great effort, and finally saw the woman's face clearly.

She is very young and quite delicate, although the clothes are gorgeous, but Zhao Chengcai recognizes that such a dress should belong to the concubine room. Is it Yan Bozhai's woman? He thought suspiciously.

The woman was obviously accustomed to serving people, poured a glass of water, tried the warmth before smiling and handed it to him, "Do you want to drink?" ”

Of course, Zhao Chengcai bowed slightly, and a glass of water still couldn't quench his thirst, so he gestured with his eyes. The woman was really good at looking at her eyes and immediately understood, but she didn't hand over the water again, but only asked softly, "Why don't you drink a bowl of porridge first?"

Seeing her kind face, Zhao Chengcai nodded without suspicion. Now that he is seriously injured, it is equivalent to meat on the chopping board, and people want to pinch themselves to death as if they were pinching an ant to death, so why worry about people poisoning their diet?

After looking around for a while, he quickly realized that the place he was staying in was a basement. Because there is no flue, no fire can be lit. There was only one staircase leading to the top, and there was a light above the staircase, so I guess it must be night. The woman looked at herself from above, and when she thought about it, it was her dwelling, but she didn't know where it was.

The woman quickly brought a bowl of warm millet porridge from above, and the porridge was boiled very clearly, which was the best state for a patient like Zhao Chengcai.

I drank this bowl of porridge in three or two bites, and the woman said earnestly, "You have been in a coma for a few days, and you have just woken up, don't eat too much at a time, rest for a while and eat again, okay?" ”

Zhao Chengcai knew that she was reasonable, nodded, worked hard to accumulate strength for a while, and said two words first, "Thank you"

The woman didn't expect him to ignore his situation first, but thanked herself, and she had a good impression of him in her heart, and politely returned the salute, "No thanks"

Zhao Chengcai rested for a while, and when he saw that she had collected the bowl and was about to leave, he tried to say again, "You have taken care of me these days, right?" Thank you so much."

"It's okay" The woman's smile became more and more kind, and the steps that were about to walk stopped, and she asked with concern, "How does your wound feel?" Although I gave you the golden medicine, there is no doctor......"

Her voice snapped back, and her eyes dropped apologetically.

Zhao Chengcai felt more and more that this woman had a good heart, and it was a blessing in misfortune that she could strive to fall into the hands of such a woman. So he didn't mean to blame, but was very grateful, "It's much better, thank you" He thought about it, deliberately shuddered, showing a sense of shrinking, "Can you make a brazier?" ”

The woman raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were half pity and half helplessness, and there was a faint guilt, "I'm sorry, this place is ...... I can't do anything about it......"

Zhao Chengcai smiled gently on his pale face, "Thank you very much." By the way, what time is it? ”

Even if you can't ask for anything else, ask where this is, ask the time, right? The woman hesitated, but felt that it didn't matter, so she told him, "It's seventeen today, and it's probably the same time." ”

"Then ......," Zhao Chengcai decided to take the risk of asking, "am I here alone?" ”

The woman visibly hesitated, wondering if the question could be answered.

Zhao Chengcai hurriedly explained, "I just want to know if my family is okay?" ”

Zhang Qingting's mother and daughter must be fine. He still remembered that he had seen Mencius before he fell into a coma, and he would definitely protect the safety of his wife and children. Just what about the others? He couldn't help but worry. "Please, tell me, okay?"

Looking at his gaze, the woman's heart softened, and she stepped forward and whispered, "I don't know." I'm only responsible for taking care of you, and you're the only one living in this yard, but ......"

She raised her eyes vigilantly to look in the direction of the stairs before she said carefully, "Every day when I go to the kitchen to get food, I see that there are other deliveries to other places. It's just not in this yard......"

That is to say, there are other people who are trapped Zhao Chengcai's heart sank, and he didn't know who would be trapped, and he wouldn't know if he wanted to ask this woman. I was about to say something more, but I heard a creak from above and the door was pushed open, and someone came in.

The woman was so frightened that she immediately straightened up, but she tried to breathe in and steady her breath before she stepped forward. Zhao Chengcai looked at her back, and became more and more sure that this was an aunt from a girl. But look at how steadily she acts, she should be a girl from a big family, right? Could it be someone close to the Zhu family?

Zhao Chengcai pondered hard with a somewhat feverish brain, the Zhu family is not bad, if this girl is someone next to her, she should be good-hearted, right? It's just that if she is Yan Bozhai's woman, how far can she help herself? It's seventeen today, Zhang Qingting and the others should be looking for themselves in the world these days, right? I don't know how many tears she shed, and what happened to the others, it's really anxious

As soon as the woman went up the stairs, she heard her greet from above, "The master is here, Mr. Zhao has just woken up and drank a bowl of porridge." ”

The man replied in a low voice, and then someone came and closed the door between the upper and lower floors, so that the words from above could not be heard.

After a while, I saw Yan Bozhai walking down the stairs step by step, and the yin owl's eyes kept staring at Zhao Chengcai, which made people cool down from the soles of their feet. He didn't bring his entourage, he was alone, and the woman didn't know if she was still on it.

Zhao Chengcai's mind was thinking quickly, what is he doing here? Since he appeared in front of himself with such a swagger, are you going to kill yourself or do you have any plans?

"What did you just tell her?" Yan Bozhai sat down on the chair in front of his bed, looked directly at him, and interrogated him first.

This is to confess, Zhao Chengcai understands. Now is not the time to play with his personality, he replied honestly without thinking, "I asked her what time it was, and she told me it was the seventeenth day. ”

"That's it?"

Zhao Chengcai nodded.

"It should be more than that, right?" Yan Bozhai stilted Erlang's legs, gently dusted off his robe, and said coldly, "I hate liars." ”

Zhao Chengcai smiled bitterly, "Do you think she will say if I ask something else?" ”

"But you're lying now," Yan Bozhai suddenly came forward, "Believe it or not, I'm going to cut your tongue right now?" ”

Zhao Chengcai sighed slightly and closed his eyes.

Yan Bozhai sneered, "You're not afraid of death? ”

"I'm afraid, but now people are swordsmen, and I'm fish and meat, what's the use of being afraid? If you want to kill me, you will kill me sooner or later. If you don't kill me, you have other plans. What to do, it's all up to you, I'm just going with the flow, what can I do? ”

Zhao Chengcai replied calmly, but there was a cold sweat in his palms

He doesn't want to die, he still has a daughter-in-law who hasn't been coaxed to change his mind, and his daughter hasn't been raised as an adult, and his parents haven't supported him for the end, but there are too many things he cares about, how can he be willing to die now?

So he wants to bet on whether the woman will tell a little truth or a little falsehood, and bet on whether Yan Bozhai has ulterior motives for him. And apparently, he won the bet.

Yan Bozhai seemed to be quite satisfied with his resigned attitude, and didn't pursue his and Chunmei's words again, but only asked, "Do you know what I left you for?" ”

"Utilization." Zhao Chengcai spit out two words without thinking.

Yan Bozhai smiled, "It seems that you can be promoted in the exam, and you have some ability, so tell me about it, what am I going to use you for?" "It's all good, tell your friends to rush (four, three, nine) and fight for it
