Chapter 4: A Heroine Who Keeps Her Promise Breaks into the Capital (24)
Luo Dongting did not hurry back to the small courtyard where the three of them lived until the next morning, when the rooster crowed.
Luo Xiyuan and Tsubaki Ya seemed to have slept in clothes all night, and even their sideburns were not messy.
Before the two of them could ask, Luo Dongting beckoned, and a burly man flashed in behind him, with a wide mouth and a bright spirit.
Regardless of the abnormal expressions of the two of them, Luo Dongting, who looked haggard, did not hide his joy and said: "Master, this is the head of the horse dart, recommended to me by Grandpa Chen of the Land Temple." Today, General Li's body is in the coffin, after all, it is a bloody scene, the master is Wenxiu's son, and Chunya's sister is the girl's family, so it is really not suitable to go. Therefore, it must be proper for me to ask this master to go with me. ”
Luo Xiyuan wanted to refute it, but when he saw Tsubaki Ya hiding behind him with a frightened face, a pair of small hands shrunk and pulling the hem of his clothes, and he couldn't bear it. After saluting the horseman, he turned his head and asked, "Have you finished the general's coffin and clothes?" ”
Luo Dongting hurriedly replied: "Everything has been placed, and the treasure land for burial is also recommended by Ma Darthead, just five miles away in Shiyang Mountain on the outskirts of the city, when the apprentice has placed everything, the master and Sister Chunya will go to the grave to pay respects." ”
Tsubaki Ya hid behind Luo Xiyuan and asked softly, "If someone asks, who are you generals, how do you answer?" ”
When Luo Dongting heard this, he couldn't help but smile, but there was some bitterness in his smile.
"Zuo just said the last sentence, I was originally a slave of the General's Mansion, and because of the favor of the General's family, I solved my urgent need, so I need to repay this favor."
Tsubaki nodded and tugged at the hem of Luo Xiyuan's clothes tighter and tighter.
Luo Dongting took some silver, got up and walked out with the horse. When he walked to the door, Tsubaki Ya suddenly shouted behind him, "Dongting and slow".
Tsubaki Ya blushed and took out a thumb-sized jade ring from her arms, the jade quality is not good, but it is also very valuable.
"This is the talisman I have brought with me since I was a child, so I will take it with you...... In shady places such as the entrance of the vegetable market, you must be careful. Chunya shoved the jade ring into Dongting's arms, and then flicked the pigtails back to his room.
Luo Dongting smiled and put away the jade ring very carefully.
The man who walked south and north with a dart head was rough-minded, and only hugged his fists and said "goodbye" to Luo Xiyuan, and then strode out of the small courtyard.
After they left, Luo Xiyuan paced back and forth in the house for more than a dozen times, and couldn't bear it anymore, so he went to the Tsubaki bud room.
"Good sister, no matter what, I have to send General Li and his son in person, if you are afraid, you don't have to go with me, just wait for us to come back at home." Luo Xiyuan frowned.
Tsubaki Ya, who was sitting on the bed mending the futon, suddenly stood up. The willow eyebrows stood upside down, as if he was angry.
"Girl, I'm afraid you've been stubborn for a long time, and you've forgotten that you're a daughter, right? In front of the East Court, I can't say it directly, even if you want to be a chivalrous girl, I won't stop you, but I need to be worthy of the entrustment of Fourth Prince Li and Elder Chang! What do you do on that kind of bad occasion? If the old general has anything to say, he will definitely let Dongting bring it back, so why do you want to make a trip? ”
Luo Xiyuan also blushed, and said hurriedly: "But Dongting is still a child, if something happens, how can he deal with it alone?" ”
Realizing that her words were serious, she said softly again: "I know that my sister is for my good, and everything comes first to me." Although Dongting was later, he was also like you, doing his best and thinking about everything for me. I can't let him go into danger alone! ”
Tsubaki Ya heard her mention the East Garden, her face was pale, but she still glanced at Luoxi Garden calmly.
Suddenly, I saw Chunya "plop" and knelt on the ground, and said firmly: "Girl! This matter is that the fewer people do it, the better, Dongting has nothing to do with the fourth son, and even if he is arrested, he can't ask about the ugly people. But the son has a lot of chances with the fourth prince, not to mention the side, in case there are people from the Lu family in Henan Mansion among the prison officials, wouldn't it be bad? ”
Chunya raised her head, her eyes were full of tears, and her tone was still shocking: "I am the person who the fourth prince handed over to the girl, before leaving the beggar gang, the fourth prince once privately instructed me, saying that the girl is chivalrous, brave, innocent and pure, and is only afraid that the reckless son will cause trouble, because I am usually meticulous, so I ordered me to follow the girl, be careful to remind." Childe gave the girl the front foot of my deed of sale, and the girl's back foot was torn. Chunya always remembered the entrustment of the fourth son, and also thanked the girl for her kindness to me. Therefore, no matter what the girl says, I will not let the girl go out, unless ...... Over my dead body! ”
Luo Xiyuan was unprepared, and Tsubaki quickly pulled out a pair of sharp scissors from a pile of needlework legs on the bed.
The tip of the scissors was facing Tsubaki Bud's throat, and Luo Xiyuan hurriedly stepped forward to grab it, and saw blood beads oozing from the place where Tsubaki Bud's throat was hit. Luo Xiyuan was suddenly so frightened that he waved his hand back again and again, and said with a pale face: "Good sister! Don't be impulsive, I'll listen to you, just don't go. You put down the scissors, be careful! ”
Chunya raised her head and cried: "I'm not heartless, I've been taken care of by the General's Mansion since I was a child, and I can't feel heartache when I see the current tragic situation of the General's Mansion." But as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains without fear of no firewood, there is no way to die, and you must always think of rescue if you live. Girl, you must take care of yourselves, run for the ladies and ladies, and don't let them lose hope again! ”
The bean-sized beads of blood seeped into the tip of the scissors, which was very scary. Luo Xiyuan couldn't bear to look at it, so he hung his head and choked up: "Okay! I'll listen to you this time, you put down the scissors, I'll talk. ”
Tsubaki Ya was relieved when she heard this. As soon as she dropped the scissors, Luo Xiyuan found Jinchuang Medicine and applied it carefully for her.
"You're stupid......"
Luo Xiyuan touched the wound and choked again.
Tsubakiya shook her head and smiled weakly: "As long as the girl is well, I can do anything." ”
The two waited in the small courtyard for Luo Dongting to come back and report the news.
From noon to noon, and then from noon to dark, I didn't expect Luo Dongting to be seen.
Luo Xiyuan was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, but he couldn't let go of Tsubaki Bud, so he had to yell at the chicks in the yard.
Chunya boiled a bowl of mung bean soup, handed it to Luo Xiyuan, and persuaded: "Girl, relax, from here to the outskirts of the city five miles away, go back and forth, and you have to place the coffin of the general's father and son, until tomorrow when the rooster crows, you will not be allowed to come back." ”
Luo Xiyuan took the mung bean soup in her hand and drank it, thinking about it. For a moment, he wondered if Dongting had done it and whether anyone was embarrassed for him, and suddenly he thought that Dongting should not be asked to do such a shady thing when he was young.
She picked up the dog's tail grass in her hand, squatted on the ground and teased the chickens who had gained a little weight for a while. I don't know if the mung bean has a good effect on relieving heat and reducing irritability, or if the persuasion of Tsubaki sprouts is effective, Luo Xiyuan's expression gradually calmed down after a while.
