Chapter 41: The Exile
Qu Xiaomo lifted the curtain and saw that the people outside had come in to take shelter from the rain, so he also took off his coat and lay on his wooden board, and said to Jin Zhen: "Big shopkeeper, the small one sleeps first, if you have something, call the small one." ”
I have been with Jin Zhen for so long, and I know that although this person looks cold, his heart is still kind, and at this time, the master has not slept and she is not afraid of blame for sleeping first, and then Ming'er has to continue to cook a big pot of rice, by the way, she has to go to the county seat to buy some rice and meat, and now she doesn't have to worry about eating bran after spending a thousand taels of silver.
In the morning, after the decoction was given to Jin Yu to drink, and Aunt Fang and Uncle Fang were sent out to do farm work, they went out with silver and baskets.
Jin Zhen stood by the fence with his hands behind his back and looked at Qu Xiaomo, who was walking away towards the entrance of the village, and instructed Jin Shisan beside him: "Send someone to protect her." ”
"Yes!"
Jin Shisan gestured to a person in the dark, and saw that the person's jumping figure was hidden among the trees next to the road after a few takeoffs, and followed Qu Xiaomo, who got into the ox cart, all the way towards the county seat.
Seeing that the two were nowhere to be seen, Jin Zhen returned to the house, and at this time, a man with a scar on his face in the house was already standing in the room waiting, and when he saw Jin Zhen coming in, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Master." ”
Jin Shi hummed, waved his hand to get him up, and Jin Thirteen, who came in, called his brother to the man, but the man glared at him coldly, Jin Thirteen smiled awkwardly and touched his nose and stood behind Jin Yu.
"Jin Wu, how did you find out?" Jin Zhen, who was sitting in a chair, asked
The scar man who was called Jin Wu shook his head and said, "The subordinates haven't found out where the snake venom came from. ”
Jin Yu was not much surprised when he heard this, and instead asked, "What is the situation outside?" ”
"There's news from Jin San's side, and there hasn't been much movement in business, but... There is news from the capital. ”
Jin Zhen frowned: "What news?" ”
"Master, your uncle has come to the capital, and Uncle Quan has sent news that your uncle has gone back to Prince An's mansion twice."
"Oh? Lord An? Jin Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly.
This uncle didn't like him very much since he was a child, and when his mother and father were still alive, he also happened to hear his mother say that this uncle was just a concubine, and his mother and grandmother were just getting by on the surface, and when he had an accident with his mother and father, he happened to be on the way back from a foreign house.
Later, he was rescued to his grandfather's house for three years, and when he was thirteen years old, he returned to the ancestral house in the capital, which is now the Jin Mansion, and because of his young age, a lot of his father's business was secretly pocketed by this uncle.
At the beginning, he also thought about whether it would be this uncle's business that was jealous of his father's business, so he sent someone to intercept and kill him halfway, but after so many years of secret investigation, there was no clue, but what the government said was the so-called bandit, but he didn't believe it, because how could a thief start so neatly, and the knife was deadly, even if he was young at the time, he could see the difference.
Jin Yu raised his hand and touched the pupils of his abdomen full of frost, if it weren't for his hard life, that knife would have followed his father and mother a little deeper.
Qu Xiaomo came to the county seat in an ox cart here, bought medicine and meat as usual, thinking that the snacks would be eaten a few days earlier, she now has nothing else to do except get food and decoction all day long, she can only eat some snacks as a pastime, so she thought about buying more today, went into the store and bought a few things that are often bought, and added two cans of candied fruit.
After paying the silver, he went out with his things, this snack shop was located at a fork in the street, and there were fewer people than on the main road in front of him, but it didn't mean that there was no one, and it was only a few steps to the lively main street, but it was only a few steps away, but it was only a few short steps, and Qu Xiaomo had an accident.
Qu Xiaomo, who was originally carrying a few packs of snacks, was knocked unconscious from his back and lost consciousness before he could walk a few steps.
The three people who knocked her unconscious were two of them standing up, one of them covered her from head to toe with a sack, and they rushed towards a small alley with the people on their shoulders, but they didn't know that one of them was jumping on the roof behind them.
The three of them carried Qu Xiaomo to the depths of a secluded alley, only to see that a man and a woman were already waiting there, it was Pei Xuanqing and Zhou Mei, the youngest sons of the Pei family in Ning County.
At this time, the two of them were flirting with each other, Pei Xuanqing put one hand around Zhou Mei's small waist, kneaded it in front of his chest with the other, and said obscene words in his mouth, while Zhou Mei hummed and echoed with a shy face, and it was easy to see that he was trying his best to cater to him.
Qu Xiaomo in the sack was woken up halfway because he was carried by the three of them, but looking at his current posture, he was afraid that he had been kidnapped, although he was a little flustered in his heart, he still forced himself to calm down, and he knew who was doing this with a turn of his mind.
In this Ning County, she is cautious in dealing with people, and she doesn't offend people easily, except for this Zhou Mei, Jin Yu is right, this woman is really looking for a good person to be angry for her, she knew that when she went out, she called Jin Shisan or other little brothers to accompany her, she really regretted not being at the beginning!
I don't know how long the three people carried her away, only to hear a voice coming, and was thrown to the ground by the three people, Qu Xiaomo didn't dare to snort when she fell into pain, only heard a very flattering voice and said: "Childe, someone has been arrested." ”
I only heard that Pei Xuanqing said: "Untie the bag." "A helpless woman, he is not afraid that she will be able to escape from his hands.
The bag was untied, Qu Xiaomo closed his eyes and didn't dare to move, only heard two footsteps walk in, and then straightened his face with both hands, and listened to Zhou Mei say: "Hmph, I knew that this woman would come to the county seat today, and it was not in vain that Brother Pei sent someone to wait at the city gate for so long." ”
And Pei Xuanqing, who looked at Qu Xiaomo's face, laughed twice and said, "This little woman is really handsome, but she is a rare beauty." ”
Zhou Mei was unhappy for a moment when she heard this, this woman's skin can attract a man's attention anywhere, even a handsome person like Jin Gongzi is so good to her, but thinking of what this woman is about to suffer, she is suddenly extremely happy, and when she loses her appearance and ruins her innocence, see who can still look at her.
"Brother Pei, you have to remember what you promised me." Zhou Meijiao said
"Nature, nature."
That being said, Pei Xuanqing, who was squatting on the ground, was paying attention to another thing, what he always loved the most was beauty, he was a frequent visitor to the red luan tent of the Qinglou Oiran when he was in the capital, and when he arrived in this Ning County, the place was too narrow, and all the women in the Qinglou who were a little bit of a posture had played, so he began to turn to those big girls and little daughters-in-law, she didn't dare to be full of powerful people in the capital after all, and he was a powerful person here in Ning County.
Besides, it's rare to meet such a handsome beauty, how can he let it go, I heard Zhou Mei's little slut say that this woman is a little beautiful, because there was a bump in the village to ask him to help teach a lesson, I originally thought it was just a little businesswoman, but I didn't expect it to be such a beautiful little beauty, and I don't know what it tastes like, hehehe~
Qu Xiaomo, who was lying on the ground, felt his hand touching his face, endured it for a long time, seized the opportunity to open his eyes suddenly, grabbed Pei Xuanqing's hand with one hand, quickly pulled off the sharp silver hairpin on his head with the other, raised his hand and stabbed it towards his neck, and then quickly turned over and got up before everyone could react.
But because the three people who tied her up were standing in the direction of the alley, Qu Xiaomo didn't dare to rush over, but still retreated to the corner of the wall with a silver hairpin with a pointed tip, and looked vigilantly at Pei Xuanqing and the three little guys who were covering the bloody wounds.
Zhou Mei on the side was shocked and didn't come back to her senses, looking at Pei Xuanqing who was wailing in pain, and then at Qu Xiaomo who was vigilant and defensive, her pupils flashed with a hint of fear, she couldn't imagine that Qu Xiaomo could be so ruthless, although the silver hairpin was much softer than the golden hairpin, but it was not a joke to pierce into the flesh, and at this moment, the pointed head had been bent, which showed how ruthless his talent was, if it was Jin's Pei Xuanqing, he was afraid that he would die.
And at this moment, although Pei Xuanqing has no worries about his life, he is also very painful, he was pampered since he was a child, where has he ever suffered such an injury when he is so big, it hurts terribly at this time, and he doesn't care about the demeanor of a noble son, he just lay down on the ground and wailed.
Seeing this, the three little guys hurriedly helped him up, and in a panic, they took out their sweat towels to plug the bleeding wound, and one of them ran out of the alley to ask for a doctor.
Qu Xiaomo took advantage of the panic of the three little guys, and when Zhou Mei was stunned, he saw the opportunity to raise his legs and run out of the alley and escape from this place, and the hairpin without the fixed bun was scattered at this time because of the running of Fang Cai.
The hairpin with blood on her hand could no longer be worn, and she didn't want to hold it, so she casually threw the hairpin that had been worn for two months into the grass, broke off a small wooden stick and picked it up like this, and hurried towards the jewelry store.
Fang Cai was also forced by that Pei Xuanqing, if he pretended to be like this, I am afraid that he would really have to be chaste, and now the top priority is to take care of himself first, so that people will not see anything wrong, and then go to pick up the basket that fell in place when Fang was knocked unconscious, and then hurry back to Fenglai Village, now I am afraid that only Jin Yu's side is the safest, just see that she has saved him and taken care of him for so long, no matter how you say it, you will not see death without saving it.
Fortunately, the hairpin she wore on her head was just one that was not usually outstanding, and she could find almost the same one if she looked carefully in the jewelry store, and she re-combed her hair with the comb in the store, and after paying the money, she hurried towards the snack shop of Fang Cai.
Fortunately, there are not many people on this road, and no one has walked in this time, the basket fell on the side of the road, and the things inside were scattered all over the place, Qu Xiaomo hurriedly squatted down to see it, there were a lot, but one of the bags of snacks was broken.
