Chapter 171: Thrush

Lou is easy to get tired of his daughter-in-law. talked about tomb robbing and the like for a while, of course, he himself is not that person in the business, and his knowledge is limited, and he is ambiguous, but Xiaoru is just a little curious about these, and he happened to meet it again today, so he had the heart to ask, so he didn't mean to get to the bottom of it.

The family eats and drinks, talks and laughs, and when they are full and full of food, they have seen the autumn colors of the mountains and rivers, and it is already the time when the sun is setting in the west. Xiao Ru rubbed her belly, and simply asked the girls to pack up their things, Jiang Tian drove back, and Lou Yi and Lou Yi took the three maids and walked back to the inn slowly, and by the way, they could also eat.

Although it was late autumn, the climate in the south was warm, and the grass on the hillside had not all withered yellow. There is still a faint hint of greenery, but the autumn wind brings a bit of cold, blowing people's bodies cold.

It is rare that the mountains and forests are quiet, rarely populated, Lou Yi quietly stretched out his hand, grabbed Xiaoru's white soft wattle, the two of them held hands, shoulder to shoulder, strolling in the forest, Ding Feng They were very eye-catching and fell far behind, after a while, even people couldn't see it, I have to say, Ding Feng, who is a brother, is indeed much more mature than Lou Yi, look at how considerate people care for Lou Yi, but if Lou Yi encounters this kind of situation, maybe he will laugh at Ding Feng in person......

Xiao Ru and Lou Yi are wearing narrow-sleeved shirts for the convenience of walking, and they are very close to each other at this time, their arms are tightly pressed together, Xiao Ru doesn't feel anything, the old husband and wife, what's the big deal about holding hands, but occasionally one side look. But seeing that Lou Yi's ears were pink, but he still looked serious on his face, he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, and he was a little embarrassed unconsciously.

"Huh? Like a child? After walking for a while, Lou Yi's steps suddenly paused, and he said in surprise.

Xiaoru was also stunned, the mountain forest they came to, of course, is not so inaccessible, but after all, pedestrians are very rare, along the way, only met a few passers-by in a hurry, at this time, I saw a cute child with red lips and white teeth, pink carvings and jade standing on the side of the road, and for a while almost suspected that he had met a fairy in the forest......

Just when Xiao Ru and Lou Yi wanted to walk over and ask, the 'goblin' opened his mouth and suddenly spoke-"You, put it on the tree!" ”

Xiaoru: "......"

Lou Yi: "......"

This kind of arrogance is of course very annoying if it is put on adults. However, now that he is stretching out his little arms and opening his mouth very arrogantly to give orders, it is a little boy with a fleshy face, short arms and short legs, wearing a festive red dress, and wearing a gold lock plate around his neck, and the feeling is only funny.

Xiao Ru pursed her lips, tried to swallow the laughter back into her stomach, looked down, and then realized that there was a small bird's nest under the little boy's feet, and there were three little chicks lying in it, looking at their soft fluff, Xiao Ru raised her eyebrows and smiled: "It's actually a thrush, it's very cute...... I didn't hear that people told you to put it on a tree, why don't you hurry up? ”

Lou Yi shook his head with a smile, yes, he is a third-grade servant, and now he is actually being commanded by a yellow-mouthed child! Besides, it seems that the child is pointing to his daughter-in-law......

Regardless of whether he was slandered in his heart, Lou Yi still squatted down obediently and held the bird's nest, "Hey, daughter-in-law, this bird's wings seem to be injured......"

"Where?" Xiao Ru was stunned, and hurriedly leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, there was a trace of blood on the wings of one of the chicks. Xiao Ru gently touched the fluff of the little thrush as if soothing, pressed its little wings, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It didn't hurt the bones, just scratched a little, and it would be good to apply some medicine...... By the way, Xianggong, do you have gold sore medicine on you? ”

Xiaoru's medicine box was carried by Xiaoyan, and now she doesn't have a medicine bottle in her hand, no way, no matter how capable the doctor is, no matter how light the injury is, without medicine, it is in vain.

Lou Yi touched the purse on his waist and nodded, since he married his daughter-in-law and entered the door, Lou Yi has never lacked all kinds of gold sore medicines, who let his wife be a doctor! took out a white porcelain medicine bottle from it, took a cotton swab made by Xiaoru, dipped it in some medicinal powder, and carefully smeared it on the chicks in the nest, "That's okay?" ”

"Don't worry." As soon as Xiao Ru looked up, she saw Lou Yi frowning. His eyes looked at the wings of the chicks very intently, and he held the nest with both hands, and that kind of caution suddenly softened Xiaoru's heart, "The vitality of wild birds is very strong...... Put the nest on the tree, you see, their father and mother are here......"

As soon as Lou Yi looked up, he saw two thrushes hovering above their heads, refusing to leave, you know, adult thrushes are very timid. is not close to people at all, but now they can take the initiative to fly to the side of human beings regardless of their own nature, which shows what kind of power children can bring to their parents.

Lou Yi smiled, holding the bird's nest with one hand, and the bark with the other, rubbing it, and then jumped up, Xiaoru watched his father-in-law run to a thick branch that was two and a half meters high, carefully put the bird's nest on it, and then jumped down directly from the tree, hurriedly greeted him and patted the dust on his robe, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, he was really agile.

The two big thrushes circled around Lou Yi's head several times, and their calls were very melodious and pleasant, so Xiao Ru couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "Actually, these thrushes shouldn't thank you, they should thank our little heroes, if it weren't for this child, how could you have the leisure to notice these falling birds?" ”

"Humph!" It's a pity that the kid didn't pay attention to Xiaoru's praise at all, turned his head, and ran away after a while, don't look at the two legs are very short, but the degree is not slow at all.

Lou Yile was happy, clapped his hands and smiled: "I don't know which family is a child from a family, at such a young age, there is a sense of arrogance." ”

Xiao Ru also shrugged his shoulders, in fact, the big families of this era, especially the newly rising big families after the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, are committed to building their descendants to be gentle and elegant, and the social atmosphere is more advocating a modest and gentlemanly demeanor, and there are few teenagers who are so arrogant.

Otherwise, if you meet a gentleman in the capital, you are not from a tyrannical background. is a concubine who is not valued by his parents, those children of big families who really have heads and faces, don't care if they are dirty or dirty, most of them are very personable in appearance, and those things like bullying men and women are almost invisible in the capital.

Seeing that the little boy ran away, Xiao Ru and Lou Yi continued on the road, this time the two of them walked faster, and they returned to the Fengxiang Inn without much effort.

Entering the door of the inn, Xiaoru heard the cook who was cooking dinner say that the proprietress had rested for noon, and now she had a little spirit, and she had already gotten up, knowing that Xiaoru had saved her, and she wanted to thank Xiaoru.

When Xiao Ru heard this, she hurriedly went to the hostess's room, and sure enough, although her complexion was still not very good, her mind was already sober, and she was also grateful to Xiao Ru.

"Hey, it's also a crime, my husband's surname is Tong, this Fengxiang inn is passed down from ancestors, it has been more than 100 years now, and it has not fallen in troubled times, and now, there is such an incident, I'm afraid it won't be able to go on."

Maybe these words have been held in my heart for a long time, and when I said it at this time, the proprietress looked a little more relaxed, "The father and daughter of the Qiu family often stay in my inn, it's not a matter of one or two times, Xiaoyun's girl, she is beautiful, gentle, and she is a good woman, I like it when I look at it, besides, the Qiu family has some industries, but our Fengxiang Inn is also good, it can be regarded as a good match, for a while, I still want to propose to the old man Qiu." ”

"However, before I could say anything, something happened, and I still remember clearly, one night, my son seemed restless, acted in a panic, and did not even eat much for dinner, I felt strange in my heart, and asked two questions, he only said that it was okay, and I didn't think much about it...... But I didn't expect that the next day there would be a big mess, and Miss Xiaoyun actually hanged herself in the guest room of our store. At that time, Old Man Qiu cried so much that I looked pitiful, holding Xiao Yun's corpse, and staggered away, and we haven't seen him since. ”

Xiao Ru was stunned, and couldn't help but speak: "Miss Xiao Yun's body was not sent to the Yamen?" Old Man Qiu took it directly? She seems to have heard Ding Feng say that even if he commits suicide, he must first be judged as suspected of being killed, and only after a strict autopsy by the Yamen will he be allowed to be buried......

"Yes, the arresters and servants of the Shangning County Ya are here, saying that Xiao Yun hanged herself, and Old Man Qiu took his daughter away...... Hey, I heard my son cry afterwards, and then I knew that my stupid son went to talk to Xiao Yun beforehand, and I don't know why he touched Xiao Yun's girl's hand in a daze, and I heard that Xiao Yun's child was so frightened that his face turned pale, and tears flowed down, and he pushed my son out of the door...... Tell me, what should I say, my son is not a greedy and lustful child, but a little wooden and honest, how did he do such a foolish thing! ”

Xiaoru frowned, knowing that the proprietress was frightened again and again, and she couldn't stand it bitterly, so she said the matter, otherwise, such an ugly thing, she is a mother, where can she say this kind of thing to people that will ruin her son's reputation, however, she said that it is not too much, and the rumors about her son near the inn are estimated to be indispensable, but if what the proprietress said is true, this thing is too weird.

Xiao Ru frowned and returned to the room, Lou Yi was sitting at the table reading a book, so she couldn't help but ask: "Xianggong, you say, don't care if that Xiao Yun is a real ghost or a fake ghost, she wants revenge, she should be looking for Shaodong here, isn't it?" But now that Shaodong is gone, why does she still show up in this inn? ”

Lou Yi didn't raise his eyes, and said with a smile: "What do you want to do so much, when I help you catch the ghost, won't you know everything?" ”
