The night was darker, and the stars were shining fast, but they were not as fast as Cheng Lan's footsteps.

On the way to the Quarry Pavilion, Cheng Lan supported his sick body, and it was rare to walk like a meteor, and Honeysuckle was panting behind him, and he couldn't stop shouting: "Autumn ...... Young Master Qiubai, you ...... Wait for the minions. ”

Cheng Lan's face was solemn, and he didn't pay attention to the person behind him at all.

"Young Master Qiubai!"

Honeysuckle knew what the man was anxious about, so he forcibly endured the abdominal pain and shouted: "Miss Ayao is resting in Miss Qi's quarry, and she and Young Master Zongyu are taking care of her, you ...... Don't worry. ”

Cheng Lan turned a deaf ear, and went all the way to the bedroom of the Quarry Pavilion, where he saw Cheng Yan at the door, forcibly retracted the worried expression on his face, and asked, "What's the matter?" The green seedlings who came also swallowed and vomited, but they didn't explain it. ’

This can't be blamed on Qingmiao, she has never seen Shen Lu at all, and she has never heard of this person.

"I don't know how."

Cheng Yan shook his head, glanced at the direction of the door curtain, and said indifferently: "She was covered in injuries, when Xiaoqi and I rescued her, she was already unconscious, and her breath was ......."

"I'll go in and take a look."

Before Cheng Yan could say anything, Cheng Lan stretched out his hand to push him away, and after entering the bedroom, he saw Shen Lu, who was lying on the tent bed, who had never been so weak.

The last time I saw Shen Lu, this dead girl was also injured, so she hid with herself in order to avoid Shen Zhutou.

This time, I don't know why.

Under Cheng Qi's care, Shen Lu's black clothes, which had been completely soaked with blood, were replaced, her miserable white face was wiped clean, her thin body shrunk into the futon, and her eyelashes trembled from time to time to show pain.

Cheng Lan stood beside the tent bed, looking at Shen Lu's haggard appearance, and felt heartache.

Once upon a time, this girl was still by her side, wearing gold and silver every day, eating and drinking spicy, laughing like a fool and constantly patting her arm, and a pair of starry eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.

Why now, so displaced.

I don't know what kind of life she, Xiao Yan'er, who can't escape, has been doing in the past few months after Ge Yuanjun strengthened the manpower at the checkpoint, without food and clothing.

"Big brother, Shen Lu is not in danger of life."

Cheng Qi looked at Cheng Lan, looked at the man's worried look, and then looked at Shen Lu, who was delirious on the bed, and inexplicably had some complicated emotions in his heart.

At this time, Shen Lu should be sent to the government.

But.

"It's so late, the summer night is heavy, you should go back and rest quickly."

Cheng Qi rubbed the corners of his forehead and dissuaded.

Cheng Lan nodded, stepped forward and probed Shen Lu's forehead with his fingers, and then said, "Desert, when the girl wakes up, you must notify me." ”

Cheng Qi responded, beckoning Honeysuckle to help Cheng Lan leave.

"And."

Cheng Lan was about to step out of the threshold, but turned around suddenly, pointed at Cheng Qi and said, "If you dare...... Dare to marry the sue and send her to prison for me, you see how I clean you up. ”

Cheng Qi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously nodded again.

She thought it was funny.

I didn't expect this cowardly and incompetent big brother who has no opinions, for the sake of this little female thief, there are such domineering and resolute moments, this is really the power of love.

"Okay, I got it."

Cheng Qi smirked.

Cheng Lan looked at her cautiously for a few seconds before turning around to leave.

"Ahem......"

Shen Lu's weak cough suddenly came from behind.

Cheng Lan Huo Ran turned around, ignoring Cheng Qi watching from the side, walked straight to the edge of the tent bed and sat down, looked at Shen Lu who opened his eyes sadly, frowned and called urgently: "Ah Yao? A-Yao, are you awake? ”

Shen Lu had a splitting headache, and blinked his eyes several times before he could see Cheng Lan in front of him.

"Cheng ......"

The pain in her throat was like fire, and she struggled to force out a word.

"I'm Cheng Lan, don't talk yet."

Cheng Lan stabilized her, turned back to Cheng Qi and frowned, "Look at what, don't pour a glass of water quickly." ”

"Huh? Oooh oh. ”

Cheng Qi was stunned by Cheng Lan's double-standard attitude, and immediately went to the small hall to get water, and carefully handed it to Cheng Lan, who took it, helped Shen Lu's body, and fed her the water little by little.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Who knew that Shen Lu had just swallowed two mouthfuls, and he coughed desperately, the frequency of the vibration of his chest was very terrifying, and finally he threw two mouthfuls of blood on the quilt, and Cheng Lan stared at him.

"This ...... What's going on! ”

Cheng Lan frowned and said, "Honeysuckle, go and invite Zhou Laolang to come!" ”

Honeysuckle rarely saw his own young master like this, so he was startled, and hurriedly did so.

Cheng Yan was confronted, and the man stopped him.

"It's so late, Zhou Lao Langzhong must have fallen asleep a long time ago."

Cheng Yan brushed aside Honeysuckle, walked over and picked up Shen Lu's wrist, and put his fingers on the pulse.

"Will you see a doctor?" Cheng Lan wondered.

Cheng Qi didn't speak, just stared at Cheng Yan's serious face.

People who practice martial arts can be regarded as half of Langzhong, and Cheng Yan's kung fu is superb, and Shen Lu also has some skills.

"It's just that the body is weak, and there are no irreparable internal injuries."

Cheng Yan put down her hand, and felt that something was wrong, carefully checked Shen Lu's complexion, looked down from her pale cheeks, until she saw her neck, squinted slightly, and said, "Open your mouth." ”

Cheng Qi was stunned when he heard this: "What? ”

When Shen Lu heard it, he immediately turned his head awkwardly, but he didn't hear it.

"What are you doing with your mouth open?"

Cheng Lan looked at Cheng Yan and said slightly: "Ah Yao is weak now, don't mess around." ”

"I'm not messing around."

Cheng Yan said that, he actually reached out and grabbed Shen Lu's chin and forced her to open her mouth.

"What do you do......"

Cheng Lan was about to be angry, but when he saw the situation in Shen Lu's throat, he immediately lost his voice.

Shen Lu's throat was crimson, and there were tiny gaps on both sides of her head, constantly oozing blood, if she hadn't been rescued by Cheng Qi tonight, she would have fainted like this, and sooner or later she would have to choke to death with blood.

"A-Yao, what's going on?"

Cheng Lan asked with a blue face: "...... your throat?"

"I'm fine."

Shen Lu's voice was extremely hoarse, and she didn't know how much pain she had to endure when she said every word.

"Be honest with me."

Cheng Lan said.

Cheng Qi crossed his arms beside him and watched, looking at Cheng Yan in surprise, and the man also raised his eyebrows.

Tonight's Cheng Lan is really like two people on weekdays.

Shen Lu had never seen such a serious and domineering Cheng Lan, and after being silent for a few seconds, he said, "My voice ...... It was made by Shen Zhutou. ”

"Shen Zhutou?"

Cheng Qi was puzzled: "You were caught by him?" ”

Shen Lu nodded, and said with an embarrassed face: "He caught me, but he didn't take me to prison." "Stop," he said, he could let me go, just call me...... Eat a handful of gravel. ”

"What did you say!"

Cheng Lan stood up suddenly, her glasses scarlet: "That bastard!" ”

"Big brother."

Cheng Qi hurriedly comforted Cheng Lan, and then asked Shen Lu: "Then Shen Zhutou didn't know how much manpower and effort it took to catch you, but it was easy to catch you, how could he let you go easily?" ”

Shen Lu swallowed slightly, and said helplessly: "He is here to arrest my master." ”

"Your master?" Cheng Qi said.

"Yes."

Shen Lu said: "The lost green jade pig carving is in my master's hands. After a pause, "Master and I are just ants in his hands, which can be crushed to death at any time, but the important thing is the pig carving that the emperor has given him." ”

"Then I'll go back." Cheng Qi said without thinking about it, and then, he also reacted, and shook his head a little helplessly, "No, with this green jade pig carving in your hand, you and your master still have a life, if this green jade pig carving is returned, the two of you will have no use value." ”

"Shen Lu."

Cheng Yan opened his mouth after a long absence: "You and your master, why did you steal that pig carving, you know, if you two are just petty thieves, Shen Zhutou will not pay attention to it at all, and will protect you." ”

That's right, it's in his place.

The reason why Shen Zhutou and them were able to walk sideways on this Xiping Street was because of people like Shen Lu and them, who had a place to use it, so that they could reasonably get the food and salary of the imperial court.

If there are really no thieves in the world, they will catch them quickly, and there will be no need for them to exist.

Only this time, the stolen things were too valuable, and Shen Zhutou had to kill them all.

"Master...... I want to be the kind of famous thief. ”

Shen Lu said: "But he has stolen all his life, and he is just a thief, Master thinks...... It's boring, so I've been thinking about stealing a big one, just ...... I fell in love with this green jade pig carving. ”

"What do you say your master is trying to do?"

Cheng Qi listened, and only felt speechless, but Shen Lu was like this, and she couldn't blame it, not to mention that this matter was her master's fault, so she said, "Then what are you going to do now, what is your master going to do?" ”

"I don't know."

Shen Lu shook his head, but his attitude towards his master was still very firm: "However, it was my master who picked me up and raised me, so as long as I am still here, I will not let my master be caught." ”

As he spoke, Shen Lu lifted the warm and soft quilt on his body, and struggled to get up: "Thank you tonight, with my current identity, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time, and there is nothing to repay the great kindness, so I will leave first." ”

"Huh?"

Cheng Qi was stunned for a moment, looked at Cheng Lan's face and said something wrong, and immediately said, "Where are you going?" Don't look at this as summer, it's cold at night, and besides, you still have a wound on your body, what should you do if you go out and fall down again without taking two steps. ”

"Winter is over, and I can't freeze to death."

Shen Lu said in a low voice.

What she said was light, but in Cheng Lan's heart, it was really like a knife, but he couldn't open his mouth to keep it, so he looked at Cheng Qi coldly.

The man immediately understood, then stretched out his hand to hold Shen Lu down, and said: "Anyway, your deed of sale is still in the hands of Mother Zhou, so you are still a member of the Cheng family of our Guogong Mansion, and I am still your master, I don't want you to go, you have to take care of my injuries here, so it's decided." ”

After that, he pushed Cheng Yan out, leaving only Cheng Lan to accompany Shen Lu.

The two were standing in the courtyard, and Cheng Yan said, "What should I do?" ”

"What to do."

Cheng Qi glanced at the location of the door and said, "Let's hide people in my quarry pavilion first, and let Xi Xin and Yueying take care of them, anyway, they can't let Aunt Meng know about it." Biting his lip, "Seeing that the eldest brother cares about Shen Lu so much, he can only do this now." ”

"I didn't say Shen Lu."

Cheng Yan glanced at it and said, "With such a big Longquan Villa, it's more than enough to raise her." Taking advantage of Cheng Qi's inattention, he hugged her waist suddenly, "I mean, Shen Lu occupies your bed, what are you going to do tonight." ”

"I ......"

"Don't say it, come with me."

Cheng Yan didn't say a word, he carried the man on his shoulders and left: "Don't move, if you don't move, I won't move." ”

“…… Your uncle. ”
