Chapter 10: Life and death are uncertain
"Also, after we change into men's clothes, you don't call me Miss, I'm going to change the names of the two of us......" It was decided so happily, so Tang Xiaotang began to think of two new names for himself and Xiaocui.
"Oh, okay, Miss" Xiao Cui saw that Miss decided not to change it again, so she could only answer no more objections, and lowered her head and continued to bake her clothes intently.
"Well, let me think about what it's called......" Tang Xiaotang pursed his lips and tried to think of what name to choose.
"There it is!" suddenly thought of a name, which made Tang Xiaotang's eyebrows raised, the corners of his mouth turned up happily, and said to Xiaocui teasingly: "I am your son-in-law after changing my pretence, you have to call me Tang Hai and remove the begonia of Begonia." What do you think? ”
Tang Xiaotang was very proud of the name he thought of, smiled and raised his eyebrows to look at Xiaocui.
"Tang Hai...... Uh, that's good" Xiao Cui smiled dryly, secretly slandering Miss Miss has been really strange recently, first woke up and lost her memory, and after being able to speak, her personality has changed, and her style of speaking and doing things is like a different person.
"Remember, after changing your clothes, you are my little scholar, how about calling him a little boy? Is the name good? After Tang Xiaotang gave himself a pseudonym, he proudly continued to name Xiaocui.
"Uh......? Children? Xiao Cui was speechless when she heard such a name.
"Don't like it? Then change ......" Seeing that Xiaocui didn't like this name, Tang Xiaotang didn't care, and immediately said that he would think of a better name for her.
"No, no, no, it's good, it's good, it's good, it's okay to call Xiaotong." Seeing the young lady's proud and excited look, Xiao Cui hurriedly waved her hand, indicating that she accepted the name. Don't dare to trouble Miss to think of a name for herself, the name Xiaotong is still acceptable, and I don't know if I can accept it if I can accept it.
"Okay, little boy, let's go into the city at dawn, hurry up and dry our clothes and rest for a while" Tang Xiaotang happily continued to put the clothes in his hand close to the bonfire, and told Xiaocui to hurry up and dry his clothes.
Xiaocui was holding the clothes in her hand, but she was still chanting her new name in her heart, "Xiaotong, Xiaotong is also good, it's a nice name, hehe......"
The master and servant were happily roasting their clothes around the bonfire, and Tang Xiaotang kept talking around the bonfire, describing a bright future to Xiaocui, as if they were one step away from making a fortune. The two sit around the campfire, like a warm scene and brightly colored human strokes.
In contrast to the warm picture of the two of them, the people on the painting boat were restless and spent the night in fear, except for one person, the mother Wang who fell asleep on the deck......
Soon, a red sun rose in the east, the night passed, and dawn came.
When the people on the boat were in the dark and could barely see clearly on the water, they immediately started to go into the water to salvage the work, just as Tang Xiaotang thought, soon the people on the boat found that the body was not salvaged in the water, and immediately sent people to search along the coast, and this search was five days.
While the welcoming team on the boat was busy searching for the whereabouts of the eldest lady of the Tang family, someone had already sent Ma Xiaotian the news that the bride had fallen into the water and disappeared.
Ten days later, outside the city of Youzhou.
Ma Xiaotian's cavalry battalion was encamped ten miles outside the city, surrounded by a circle of marching tents, and the big tent in the middle was the tent of the main general.
"Did you escape? Or did you fall overboard? At this moment, a man's cold voice came from inside the tent of the main general.
The owner of this cold voice is Ma Xiaotian, the general of Huaihua. At this time, he was walking on the handsome chair in his boss's tent, looking at the military map in front of him, and asked the kneeling family in front of him coldly without raising his head without a trace of emotion.
"General Hui, it was dark at that time, and the situation on the water was not very clear, and when it was dawn, he sent people with good water characteristics to go into the water to investigate, but no body was found underwater, and then he also sent people to search for the news of the people who fell into the water along the coast on both sides of the channel, and there was no news at all...... The young lady is ...... It's life and death......
There was also a kneeling family member in the tent, who was replying anxiously at this time, and when he finally said "life and death are uncertain", he hesitated whether his wording was appropriate, and secretly raised his head with a weak heart, and looked at the man sitting on the handsome chair with a cold face a few days ago.
"Life and death are uncertain...... Obviously, this conclusion is unacceptable to the man in the handsome chair, but it also makes people unpredictable his mood at this time.
"We also sent someone to secretly go back to Mrs.'s mother's house to inquire about the news, at present, the Tang family does not know the news that Miss Tang fell into the water, and there is no other indication that Miss Tang has returned to her parents' house......"
The kneeling family straightened his back, always feeling that if he continued to talk about it, his fate today would be worse than that of the woman who ran away from marriage. The general will not beat a woman, but there is still a way to punish him, a family member who is not doing well.
"Alright, let's go down." A faint sentence commanded the family.
"Huh?" The kneeling family was stunned, and he didn't know what the situation was for a while, did he go down to receive the punishment?
"What? Are you still waiting for me to reward you for your meritorious service? Ma Xiaotian, who had been looking down at the map on the desk just now, only then did he withdraw his gaze from the map and float coldly towards the kneeling man on the ground.
"Nope! No...... Belch...... Be! The villain thanked the general, and the villain was not punished for the crime of being unfavorable! After speaking, he knelt down respectfully, made a big salute, and ran out of the big tent without waiting for the people above to make another noise.
As the head coach, you must have the calmness of Taishan collapsing in front of him and not changing his face, so at this time, when Ma Xiaotian heard the news that Jia Ding brought home, no matter how angry he was in his heart, he didn't let his face show half a point. It's just that those cold eyes are even colder and harder at this time.
His brilliant military exploits, under the repeated praise of the emperor, now the momentum is like a broken bamboo, he is the general of Sanpin Huaihua at a young age, he was still young, his father and mother died of illness one after another, leaving him and his sister, the Tang family fell into the ground, divorced and humiliated, this matter deeply branded a humiliation in his heart, and since then he regarded the Tang family as an enemy. promised to marry the enemy's daughter into the door, originally he was not ready to marry back and spoil him, but he didn't expect to disappear before he entered the door, but life and death were uncertain, and she was really cheap.
"Xiaotian, what are you going to do with your marriage to Miss Tang?" Master Qian Kun stopped fanning the feather fan and looked at Ma Xiaotian worriedly. "She escaped but didn't go home, and she didn't find her body when she fell into the water, should she now look for the Tang family to get back the money she married? You also happened to take advantage of this matter to propose to the Tang family to withdraw from your family. ”
Qian Kun didn't know the grievances between the Ma family and the Tang family, but at that time, Ma Xiaotian had been engaged in family affairs since childhood, and now the old man of the Ma family's family is gone, but Ma Xiaotian still insists on following the arrangement of his parents and marrying his fiancée when he was young.
Now I heard that Miss Tang escaped on the way to get married, and Miss Tang's behavior made Qian Kun, an outsider, very incomprehensible.
