Chapter 3 Compassion for the Light Cold and the Wind
A few swallows fluttered their wings in front of the window, sometimes flying away, sometimes back, skimming lightly over the old window lattice, as if they were building a nest under the eaves.
Huo Roufeng stood on tiptoe and looked at these busy little things with interest, but unfortunately the window was too high and too small for her to see clearly.
There is no pasted paper in the window, and the spring sun shines in through the window lattice, mottled and cast half of the light and shadow.
Huo Roufeng stood in the light and shadow, squinting her eyes slightly. These people saw that she was a half-grown child, short legs, and had no ability to escape from the window.
Huo Roufeng hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled.
She jumped up and tried, jumping straight with her arms to the top and only touching the windowsill, it was impossible to escape from the window.
She thought about it, looked down at the caftan brown on her body, blinked her big eyes, and had an idea.
She untied her belt and leggings and tied them together, and tried them with her hands, which were not too strong, but they were strong enough to hold her small body. She jumped up again and again, and at last she pulled one end of the strip of cloth around the lattice at the bottom.
She breathed a long sigh of relief, climbed to the windowsill two or three times along the strip of cloth, and with a gentle push, the window opened, she poked her head out, looked around, and saw that the window was a mess, and there were several dilapidated tables and chairs stacked horizontally and vertically, and the wind and sun were blowing, and the original color could not be seen for a long time. A low, dilapidated wall blocked the view, looking like the back wall of the house.
Huo Roufeng breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, these thieves were keeping her here, if it was a deep mansion compound, it would not be easy for her to escape. But how can this small wall stop her?
She grimaced at the empty room, pulled the strip of cloth out of the window, slipped down, and the moment her legs fell to the ground, she ran away like a bird out of the cage, leaving only the long strip of cloth fluttering in the spring breeze.
After a while, this strip of cloth was already in the hand of a big man dressed as an entourage: "Fifth master, that little ghost has run away." ”
The fifth master stretched out two fingers, picked up the strip of cloth, and grinned: "What kind of thing is this?" Sash? ”
The attendant whispered, "And leggings." ”
The fifth master laughed: "It's interesting, it's really interesting, let people follow?" Let's see what kid he's from. ”
"Someone has been sent to follow...... Also, when the kid ran away, he dropped a shoe, Hua Sanniang said that the azure-makeup satin used for the shoe, cut it out where there were no flowers, and spelled it out one by one, she also said that the material was extremely fancy, and a lapse of azure-makeup flowers could only spell out a pair of shoe faces. ”
The man said while muttering in his heart, just now you said that you wanted to see what the kid came from, but without saying a word, you tied up the person, and now the person has run away, and you let us follow, isn't this uncomfortable?
The fifth master was in a good mood, he raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a smile: "So we didn't tie up the wrong person?" Is it rich? No wonder my dad asked me to come to Jiangnan for a walk, this Jiangnan is really different, just grab a little bit on the street, it's so fun, haha, interesting, so interesting. ”
The ribbon swirled between his slender fingers, and in a moment it became a strangely shaped knot.
Huo Roufeng climbed over the low wall and ran out of the courtyard, and she didn't go far before she noticed someone following her behind her. She rolled her eyes, what's wrong? Want to follow her and see where she came from? So you didn't know who I was when you tied me up?
The thief on a military horse is not good, and at first glance he is not specialized in this business.
In fact, as the only "male" in the second room of the Huo family, plus this time, Huo Roufeng has been kidnapped for the third time.
The first time was when she was five years old, when she was kidnapped two hours before she was rescued by the guards sent by her father; The second time was three years ago, just after her father's Qiqi, she was kidnapped again, this time it was my sister who hung the dark red and asked the Jianghu people to rescue her.
Now this is the third time, and she has a little pride, this time she escaped on her own.
Huo Roufeng ran faster and faster, and the road in front of her was not familiar, but she didn't delay the time by mistake, and she got on the road after a short time, and her eyes suddenly opened up, she knew this road.
A mule cart with a foot happened to pass by, Huo Roufeng stood in the middle of the road to stop the car, and said to the handlebar of the car: "I am the little guy next to the ninth master of the Huo family on the Yongfeng number, I came out on a business and left an order, you send me back, and let someone give you money at the door." ”
In Hangzhou, and even in the entire south of the Yangtze River, the three words of Yongfeng are golden signboards.
The handlebar looked at her a few times, and saw that although she was disheveled, she had fine skin and tender meat, red lips and white teeth, and she looked like a big family and a small house.
What's more, this child is going to the Huo family on the Yongfeng, and the Yongfeng will never repay the debt.
Sitting on the mule cart, Huo Roufeng chatted with the handlebar from time to time, but her eyes were aimed at the back from time to time, she knew that those people would definitely follow her, otherwise she would not have escaped easily, but she didn't see the shadow of those people.
Her heart sank slightly, just now she secretly laughed at these people for not being experts in kidnapping tickets, but now she can't laugh.
If these people are really from the army, then it should be the scouts who were sent to follow her.
How did the Huo family provoke these people?
My sister has always done things safely, is it because of business matters?
No, when my father was alive, he often said that he would leave a line in his work and see each other in the future, so although my sister was resolute, she never killed people, not to mention that Yongfeng did not do salt introduction, and did not do business with the official family, so how could she have grievances with people in the army.
Could it be that the other heads of the Huo family spent money to hire them?
If that's the case, then they really have a good chance and can hire scouts in the army.
Huo Roufeng only thought about it for a while and denied it, she knew about things in the army, how important scouts were to the army, and how could merchants spend money to hire them?
In this way, Huo Roufeng became more and more incomprehensible.
Fortunately, the mule cart was not delayed, and it stopped at the back door of the Huo family at noon.
Huo Roufeng looked behind the car, but still didn't see anyone suspicious, she jumped off the mule cart briskly, and immediately someone came up, just shouted "nine", Huo Roufeng raised her index finger and made a silent gesture, and said to the man: "Give me the car money." ”
After saying that, she didn't look back, so she ran in.
The handlebar type took the silver, and he was really happy in his heart, looking at this child's style, he must not be lying, not only is the ninth master of the Huo family a little servant, it seems that he is still a little decent.
He drove a mule cart and hummed a song out of Liuxi Lane, where the Huo family is located, there is not only one Huo family in Hangzhou, but the Huo family living in Liuxi Lane is the richest, so Hangzhou people talk about the Huo family in Liuxi Lane, often add the three words Yongfeng, but unfortunately Yongfeng is thin, and the only male Huo Jiu is still a moth.
