Chapter Sixty-Nine: Woe to the Wall
Yan Heyi felt that this matter was at stake, and the fewer people who came in, the better, so he could only tell Fang Langzhong, "There have been too many unexpected things recently, Nian Jing is a distinguished guest of Old Man Yu, so I am more worried that something will happen to him, so I ask you to pay more attention." Fang Langzhong provoked Brother Thumb and said, "It's still Yan Gongzi's thoughtfulness, don't worry, this matter is on me!" ”
It's already very close to the town, and Xiaoqiu is like an arrow, driving the carriage fast. Fang Langzhong's buttocks hurt several times, and he could only grit his teeth and dare not speak.
As it began to lighten, they finally returned to the town. At this moment, it was the time to fall asleep, and the sound of the wheels of the carriage rolling on the road was so earth-shattering, Yan Heyi felt tired at this time, he just wanted to wash his face and sleep well. But when Xiaoqiu parked the carriage at the back door of the Jade Mansion, he suddenly felt that there was something strange about the quietness here.
Old Man Yu arranged many patients and their families into the mansion, and even half of the rooms where the people lived were vacated. Twelve hours a day, all kinds of sounds are constantly filling every corner, there is no quiet, even He Bi, who has always loved to be lively, is too noisy, complaining that he can't sleep peacefully.
But now, the Yufu is quiet with a hint of frightening dead silence, and even when Xiaoqiu jumped out of the carriage, he wondered, "Why is there no sound at all, are they all sleeping, no, I told Xiao Sanzi to come back today and let him leave the door for me." So saying, he went and knocked at the door.
knocked three or five times in a row, but there was no movement inside, Xiaoqiu couldn't help but increase his strength, and the door squeaked open. Xiao Qiu poked half of his head into look at it for a while, then shrank back again. Yan Heyi asked him, "What's wrong?" Xiaoqiu said, "Young Master Yan, I don't think there's something right inside, why is there no light at all, not even a lantern." Although the old man is frugal, he hasn't come to this point! ”
Fang Langzhong heard him mutter, so he said to them, "Just go in and take a look, I just asked someone to move those medicinal materials down together, tossing all the way, I really have the strength of the United States and Europe!" He pushed the door open and entered, shouting, "Who hasn't slept yet, we're back!" ”
The more Yan Heyi pondered it, the more he felt that something was wrong, he and Xiaoqiu also followed, and the moment he stepped into the Jade Mansion, he knew that something was wrong. Originally, there was a rockery with strange rocks directly opposite the back door, but at this moment, those big rocks rolled to the ground, and one of Fang Langzhong accidentally tripped over.
"Oops!" Fang Langzhong was hit all over his body, and a big hole was knocked out of the corner of his mouth. Yan Heyi helped him stand up and whispered, "You bear with it first, Xiaoqiu, you accompany Fang Langzhong here, I'll go in and have a look." If the situation changes, you can drive away immediately! ”
"Young Master Yan, are you saying that something may have happened to Old Man Yu?" Xiaoqiu was more anxious than anyone else, and he said, "I'll go with you!" Fang Langzhong covered half of his mouth and said, "Don't make trouble, let's wait here!" ”
The big stones on the ground were messy, and Yan Heyi was careful not to make too much noise and walked forward. As Xiaoqiu said, there wasn't even a lantern lit here, and he could barely see anything extra except for that bleak moonlight. There were stumbling under his feet, and there were many things scattered in the courtyard one day, as if they had been attacked by bandits.
When the word "bandit" appeared in his mind, Yan Heyi's first thought was Man Yu, and when he thought of Man Yu, he realized that all the abnormal conditions in the Jade Mansion were very likely to be related to that Tang Nianjing!
Yan Heyi really regretted why he didn't come back sooner at this moment, at this moment, in addition to worrying about Old Man Yu and Zhonghuachi, he was even more worried about Yichun. So, Yan Heyi went straight to Yichun's room. The door was open, and he lit the fire, and his heart was a little more steady.
Everything in the room was the same, with no signs of being turned over, as if the owner had just left temporarily. Yan Heyi was about to take a look elsewhere, when he heard the footsteps of Suo Suo behind him, and someone was quietly approaching.
He turned around sharply and hid behind the door, and when the footsteps walked in, Yan Heyi unexpectedly stretched out a hand, grabbed the other party's neck, and scolded with a fierce look, "Who are you?" A woman's voice said in a panic, "I, I'm not a bad person, I, I'm the cook here!" ”
Hearing this voice, Yan Heyi felt a little familiar, the strength in his hand was reduced by half, and he asked, "What about the others, how did you know that I was back?" The cook said tremblingly, "Old man Yu was kidnapped by that Tang boy, and everyone else was kicked out." Yichun girl, they found another place to hide, I, I know you are coming back today, just, I have the courage to come and tell you. ”
Everyone is gone, how can a cook be kind enough to stay? Yan Heyi understood her identity after a little thought, "Are you from Manyu?" The cook didn't make a sound, but nodded slightly. Yan Heyi let go of her, "Where is Tang Nianjing now?" The cook said, "You better go to Miss Yi first, they are all waiting for you!" ”
Before the words fell, Yan Heyi only felt that his hand was loose, and the cook had unconsciously broken free from his control and disappeared without a trace. In addition to being surprised, Yan Heyi could only sigh that none of the people under Man Yu could be underestimated.
At this point, he can only follow what the cook said, and go to Yichun first. Back at the back door, Fang Langzhong and Xiaoqiu greeted him and asked, "How is it, have you seen anyone?" Yan Heyi said, "Get in the carriage first, Xiaoqiu, go to the small courtyard where I live, Yichun and they are there." ”
Seeing that his expression was different, Fang Langzhong and Xiaoqiu didn't ask any more, the three of them got into the carriage, Xiaoqiu whipped the horse's buttocks, and galloped away.
Although it was quiet outside the small courtyard, the lit candle flame made Yan Heyi feel a lot more at ease. Yan Heyi knocked on the door, and Zhong Huachi's vigilant inquiry voice immediately sounded in the door, "Who?" Yan Heyi said in a low voice, "Huachi, it's me!" Hearing his voice, the door opened with a bang, Zhong Huachi dragged him in, and said hurriedly, "You're back, come in, something is wrong!" ”
Fang Langzhong followed, and Xiao Qiu closed the courtyard door firmly after entering. Yichun heard the movement and walked out as well. Seeing that she was safe and sound, Yan Heyi's heart finally felt better, "You, are you all okay?" ”
Yichun's eyes were red, as if she had just cried, Sang Yunqiu stood behind her, sighed and said, "We're okay, but the old man Yu is not very good." ”
