Chapter 90
He did his part, and with the wisdom of landing Wanxing, he would not be indifferent.
Lu Wanxing felt that the plaster was applied to the skin, a little burning, but she didn't doubt his intentions. After the burning sensation passed, the whole face felt extremely cool. It may have been smelling for a long time, and the stench was not as obvious as it was at first.
She searched around the house but didn't see a mirror. Wuxian pointed to the copper basin, but he was a little looking forward to what kind of expression Lu Wanxing would have when he saw him like this.
Lu Wanxing walked over, leaned over and looked at the reflection in the water, her beautiful eyebrows frowned, and she straightened up.
"Don't you feel worried?" Wu Wu was very surprised by her indifference. Unwillingly asked, "Don't you think it's ugly?" Or ......"
His fingers swirled around his temples, representing a lot of doubts.
Lu Wanxing shook her head and said with a very satisfied sigh of relief: "This is good." ”
That relaxed tone seemed to be talking about someone else, and now it was someone else who was disfigured by Wuwu, and it had nothing to do with her.
This kind of mentality has not been able to figure it out for a while. How much a girl cares about her appearance, especially a beautiful girl like her, even if she knows that he is doing it for her good, she should be surprised or worried!
Lu Wanxing is really different, and she can't imagine it according to normal thinking. He felt that it was a pity that such a girl could not be used by her.
There was a commotion downstairs. I vaguely heard someone shouting Lu Chengding.
Lu Wanxing leaned on the window and looked out, and saw Zhang's mother lying at the door watching the excitement.
The courtyard outside the door was full of people, and Lu Chengding was kneeling on the ground by two people's arms. Lu Yunian was stopped opposite him.
I heard Lu Yunian tremble and say: "Chengding, you go back obediently, and you don't have to worry about the green mountains without firewood." Give the letter to your grandfather. ”
Lu Chengding shook his shoulders angrily, his eyes almost wanted to breathe fire, and he shouted: "How can you Niutouzhai go back on your word and leave my seventh grandfather for what?" What about Evening Star and Uncle Ben? Where are they? ”
Zhao Dacheng walked out in the middle of a group of minions, and said impatiently to Lu Chengding: "Why do you need to ask?" Boy, you go back and tell the people of the Lu family to send the one named Lu Yuan, and you have to obediently hand over five hundred taels of silver. Otherwise, I will take the life of your patriarch." ”
When Lu Chengding heard this, there was a surge of newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers, and said to Zhao Dacheng, "You are a threat, our Lu family will not be at your mercy." ”
Lu Yunian opened his mouth dryly, crying with a face full of walnut lines.
Lu Laoba, who was behind Lu Chengding, anxiously dragged him and said, "Chengding, the master of Zhao Zhai has let us go down the mountain, so don't delay time." ”
Lu Chengding stared at him angrily and said, "Eighth uncle, seventh grandfather is imprisoned, let's just go back?" What about Evening Star and Uncle Ben? ”
"You kid, what can you do here if you don't go back?" Lu Laoba slapped Lu Chengding on the back of the head, and said angrily, "Are you deaf?" The owner of Zhao Zhai asked Uncle Seven to be a guest here, let's go back and send the people and the silver and it's over. ”
"That's not the case, Eighth Uncle," Lu Chengding was still arguing, but Lu Laoba flicked his sleeves angrily and said, "You're not leaving, are you?" Let's go, you can stay here and tie up! Let me tell you Chengding, we are going to ransom the patriarch and go back alone, and you don't care about the life or death of the few of you. ”
Seeing that Lu Laoba turned his face at that time, Lu Chengding panicked and had no idea. But he was still worried about Lu Wanxing's safety, so he grabbed Lu Laoba's sleeve and asked, "Eighth Uncle, what about Wanxing and Uncle Ben?" ”
"Them?" Lu Laoba just wanted to answer, looked at Zhao Dacheng and Lu Yunian again, threw the question to Zhao Dacheng and said, "Since it was sent to the cottage, it is naturally to listen to the arrangement of the owner of Zhao Village." ”
Lu Chengding turned his head again, collected the sharpness on his body, humbly bowed his head to Zhao Dacheng and asked, "The owner of the village, what about the evening star and Uncle Ben?" ”
Zhao Dacheng laughed and said: "That girl was favored by my virtuous brother and stayed by her side to listen to it." Naturally, that man has to help me. ”
As soon as he heard that Lu Wanxing was photographed, Lu Chengding had a bad premonition in his heart. I wanted to ask something else, but Lu Laoba grabbed him and walked out, "Cheng Ding, the patriarch has high hopes for you, and at this time, you will return to the ancestral hall to speak more than me." ”
Lu Chengding was very angry when he saw Lu Laoba's treacherous appearance, and he advocated reporting to the official before he came, but Lu Yunian was afraid that Lu Laoba would be hurt, so he would send Lu Wanxing and Lu Jiangben whenever he said anything. At the beginning, he wondered why Lu Jiangxing had to follow Lu Jiangben alone to dig ginseng.
I just found out that it was Lu Laoba who wanted to give Lu Wanxing to Zhao Dacheng to spoil it. This kind of hurtful thing can be thought of and done. It's a shame that they are all members of the ancestral hall. How can you be worthy of your ancestors and ancestors in doing such a thing? Fortunately, with the blessing of the ancestors, Lu Wanxing was not favored by Zhao Dacheng.
Now it's okay, the four people who rescued Lu Laoba have been rescued, but they have caught Lu Yunian. Measured in the ancestral hall, Lu Yunian's weight is much higher than that of Lu Laoba. Naturally, the price of Zhao Dacheng's opening is also high. Five hundred taels of silver, that is the property of the entire Lu clan ancestral hall. And also named Lu Yuan to go up the mountain, isn't this a robbery?
Lu Chengding has the enthusiasm of his youth, and the first thing he thinks of in the face of such an evil force is to report to the official. He knew that this entanglement would not play any role, so he made up his mind, went down the mountain and went straight to Niugao County, and went to the county government to beat drums and voice grievances. I don't believe that the government can't do anything to these bandits.
Wuxian stood at the window next to Lu Wanxing and looked at the situation below, and asked with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth: "A patriarch has five hundred taels of silver, do you think it is fair?" ”
Lu Wanxing didn't see Lu Jiangben in the crowd, but she was a little worried, after all, Lu Jiangben was protecting her all the way, but now she doesn't know where he is? And Lu Yunian was kidnapped, in her opinion, she deserved it.
exchanged her and Lu Jiang for four people who betrayed the family, did you think about justice at that time?
Lu Wanxing didn't want to see the faces of those passers-by downstairs, so she retreated to the room and asked, "Where is Uncle Ben?" It's the guy who came with me. ”
"He? should have been arranged by Zhao Dacheng to do coolies. ”
"In what place? Uncle Ben is very capable, and if you need manpower, he can help. Lu Wanxing said euphemistically, the implication was that she hoped that Wuxian would help her save Lu Jiangben.
This little bit of caution can be seen through at a glance, and he unfolds the fan and walks downstairs.
Lu Wanxing followed behind him and asked again: "Then can I see Uncle Ben?" ”
Wuwu's footsteps didn't stop and walked down the steps, and a word floated behind him, "Yes!" ”
"When?"
"When you promised to help me."
Hearing Wu Yan's answer, Lu Wan secretly clenched his fists, knowing that he would not help so easily.
