Chapter 33

Weak water river, the west bank of the Jin army camp.

Ji Lun pinched his eyebrows and leaned back to the chair behind him tiredly.

The war with Wu is getting closer and closer, and the two armies have faced each other on the bank of the weak water river three days ago, and it must be a big battle in the near future. As a former military overseer, he was appointed by the Holy Lord with a lot of tasks, dealing with urgent reports from the front, and inspecting the training of soldiers, plus large and small meetings, which had exhausted him.

And the person he misses in his heart allows him to support himself when he thinks of her.

He can't fall!

"Lord Overseer, a man who calls himself Erzhurong has asked to see him, saying that he has an urgent matter to report to the Overseers."

"Erzhurong? Fast! Pass it in! ”

"Yes! My lord! ”

Ji Lun got up eagerly, and almost overturned the tea that had been left cold on the long table, and after a while, a young man dressed in green clothes and a little delicate looked a little delicate followed the guards in, it was Er Zhurong who entered the Shi Branch Museum with Zhu Niang and Sun Xiu, but disappeared halfway.

Er Zhurong's green clothes were full of wind and sand stained along the way, and his black boots were even more miserable.

Ji Lun took a few steps forward, although he was already trying his best to endure it, but his eager eyes couldn't deceive people: "How?" Did you find someone? ”

Er Zhurong's eyes were unpredictable, and he bowed and returned: "Hmm! I had her trapped in the stone branch of Childe's Qingxi Township...... Unscathed. ”

When Ji Lun heard this, he laughed out loud, and his joy was undoubtedly revealed, and he stopped for a while.

Er Zhurong was a little stunned, because he had never seen Gongzi like this, this person ...... has always been a look of joy and anger, resolute in purpose, ruthless in means, this kind of sincere laughter is indeed difficult to see.

At least during the year he entered Shifu and became Gongzi's subordinate, he had never seen it, just for a woman who had been with him for a year...... Did it make him so happy?

Er Zhurong was stunned for a while before he remembered to ask for his reward: "Childe, what about my brother?" In the face of the war, he still took his younger brother far away, and in any case, he came to ask this man for the safety of the Erzhu clan, although things did not go so smoothly, and he finally thought that he had done things for free for two years to seek the benefit of this man to save the Erzhu clan from fire and water with the financial resources in his hands.

But he has no interest in participating in the private affairs of these two countries, he has no such obligation, but Gongzi threatens his brother's life, he can only deceive his friends according to Gongzi's requirements, this is a difficult choice, but he will do everything for his younger brother and the glory of his Erzhu family!

Ji Lun stopped laughing, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth could still tell that he was in a good mood now, he glanced at Er Zhurong, and said generously: "Since you insist on asking for it, then just take him back." And the silver bounty, take it with you! ”

Er Zhurong also smiled, said goodbye, and walked to the front of the tent, but heard the son add in the back: "Don't forget the two-year contract." ”

Er Zhurong's footsteps paused slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, son!" The Erzhu family will also keep the kindness of the son in their hearts for generations, and they dare not forget each other and say goodbye! ”

Er Zhurong left, revealing the close-fitting suit in the green shirt as he walked, and the lower corner of the black suit embroidered a lifelike two-headed snake logo.

……

It's a bit windy today, and it's a little cold inside. Zhu Niang put on a coat, pushed open the door and walked out into the courtyard to bask in the sun.

This is a small courtyard with a small area, but it should be there, although it is simple, and the luxury of the entire Ershi branch library can not be matched, but it is a bit like a small courtyard that is just enough for a family to live in modern times, kitchen, deep well, ancient wood, and at noon, it will be from this square courtyard The warm sunlight will come through.

But these bead girls are not familiar with it, and she doesn't like it either!

She was most familiar with the redwood promenade not far away, where it would lead at the end of the twists and turns that day.

She walked into this courtyard from this corridor at the beginning, and was trapped here, the difference is that there were three people who walked in together, she, Second Brother Sun, and Er Zhurong, and now, trapped here...... But she was alone.

On the first day Zhu Niang arrived here, she knew that this was the courtyard where Xiu'er was originally kept, but now, it has become her square inch, and it is impossible to escape!

The house is cold, but the sun in the yard is good, sitting on the big stone under the ancient tree, just enough to let the warm but not hot sunlight fall on the body, Zhu Niang wanted to stay here until the sun sets and then go back to the house, but now that I think about it, this wish is not possible.

A group of children came from the corridor, the laughter gradually became clear, and after a while, four or five children with pigtails stood in front of her, and they saw Zhu Niang who was basking in the sun under the tree, and their faces were puzzled, and the younger child tried to get close to her, but was stopped by the tallest child: "Yuanyuan, don't go, don't go!" This is a madman! It's going to hit people! Ah, my mother won't let me play with her! ”

"But she's so pretty."

"Ah Niang said that this is a woman that the master doesn't want, and she also eats her own child! This is a man-eating madman! Lunatic! ”

After the tall child finished speaking, a group of children were so frightened that they cried, and some children picked up small stones to throw at her, and when they saw that she didn't respond, a group of children began to scream, "Hit the madman!" Fight the madman? As he screamed, he picked up a small rock and threw it at her.

The children were not very strong, but Zhu Niang was annoyed by the noise, so she simply went into the house, and when she saw her enter the house, the children scattered in a swarm.

……

Entering the room, Zhu Niang was reluctant to approach the mahogany bed, which almost occupied one-third of the room and looked comfortable, but hugged her legs and belly, and shrank by the door.

She had been trapped here for ten days, sleeping in this room when she opened her eyes, and she tried to get out, but every time she ran to the end of the twisting mahogany corridor, she was blocked back by the guards guarding there.

Every day, the mother-in-law will bring food at a fixed time, and one of the mother-in-law will feel sorry for her, and sometimes she will send some extra things, vegetables, fruits, and children's clothes. Some of the children born in the house will also get lost and run to this courtyard from time to time, but all of them say that she is a crazy woman who eats her own child, and this crazy woman is abandoned by the lord and locked up here year after year.

Zhu Niang didn't know what the real situation was, she only knew that this might be the Xiu'er who looked eight or nine points like her.

She would explain at first, and try to get the kind mother-in-law to take her out, but no one believed her, and they all thought she was crazy.

She can't go out now, Second Brother Sun and Er Zhurong are nowhere to be seen, she eats and sleeps so hungry every day, she is really bored, she goes to the small kitchen to make some snacks by herself, and then takes the snacks to the yard to bask in the sun, without worrying about eating and drinking, but the more she waits like this, the more anxious she becomes, this is not her life!

It's not the life she's supposed to live!

These people all say that "she" is crazy, and only by looking at the children's clothes will she not go crazy, but Zhu Niang will only feel frightened every time she sees the children's clothes sent by the kind mother-in-law when she delivers food!

Because of her, she did find a child's bones in Xiu'er's house!

The bones look like a long time ago, a small one, the other parts may have been buried by Xiu'er, only Bai Sensen's skull glowing with cold light remained, resting in the cabinet on the mahogany bed, Zhu Niang just tried to find something to escape when she saw it, she was really scared and didn't dare to enter the house, but she had no place to sleep except for this room, and she couldn't just stay outside on a cold day.

So Zhu Niang endured the fear in her heart, dug a pit and buried the child's skull, and fetched several buckets of water from the deep well to clean up and down the house before daring to go into the house to sleep again.

Zhu Niang sometimes admires herself more and more, sleeping in this lonely house every day, and a child has died, and her psychological endurance is getting stronger and stronger.

She really, so much misses her mother, so much about Zhu'er.

I don't know how they're doing now? Did any attempt to find her? But she thought about it for a while, and smiled at herself again, now that this kind of war is in chaos, her mother and Zhu'er may encounter greater difficulties when they will encounter it, and where will they have time to come to her.

All she could hope now was that they would settle down in a safe place, and that would be good...... That's good......

The elder brother and the cat brother went to Qingzhou to sell leather goods, and I don't know if the family is reunited now, and the cat daughter-in-law, I don't know what is going on now.

Zhu Niang was so groggy thinking about things, and fell asleep after a while.

……

When she woke up again, she saw a handkerchief soaked in cold water on her forehead, and a fat woman sitting on the edge of her bed was mending a hole in a child's garment, which was a red warm jacket, which was worn by one of the children who had strayed into the courtyard today, and the child was trying to get close to her today.

When the woman saw her awake, she put down her jacket, her face showing surprise, and muttered, "Thank God, little lady, you are awake." You're really confused, but fortunately, the maid came early today, and I'm afraid something big will happen if it's a little later......"

Zhu Niang raised her hand, but found that her limbs were not strong, and she fell back on the bed softly, she thought, maybe she fell asleep by the door just now and was blown off.

I don't know why, she was in good health in her previous life and didn't catch a cold easily, but when she came here, her body was very weak, and she would get sick if she didn't pay attention.

The mother-in-law's name is Sanniang, Zhu Niang heard her say that this is the mother-in-law who served her when "Xiu'er" was not crazy, and after Xiu'er got crazy, the maid and the mother-in-law were scattered, and this one was loyal, and begged the master to let her follow and serve Xiu'er.

On weekdays, she mostly delivers food, and the extra snacks or something are also bought for her by this Sanniang, and now I see that "she" is sick, and this concern is also from the heart.

Zhu Niang smiled, took the medicine in Sanniang's hand, drank it and lay down by herself.

I don't know when she'll be able to escape.
