Chapter Seven: Exploring the Orphan Girl in the World and Going Down to the South of the Yangtze River (19)
Guo Xian was about to sneer at each other, but his ears moved slightly. When he raised his hand, Lotsien's figure flashed, and he hid in the bushes in the corner of the garden.
Guo Xian's figure moved slightly, and he also hid behind the tree.
The snowy night is silent, and the silence is terrible.
Not far away, there was a burst of dog barking, and then someone stepped on the snow, constantly making a "withered" sound.
In a short time, many people suddenly rushed into the courtyard, and lanterns and torches illuminated the courtyard.
Looking at the clothes, it should be from the government.
"Do an autopsy on the spot, you go around to search, there is Liu Zhutou in the front yard, if the thief is still in the house, she will definitely come and go!"
The official at the head shouted a command to the catchers behind him.
Luo Xiyuan hid behind a tree, and the "xiaolongbao" in his arms was suddenly startled by the loud voice, and cried "wow".
Guo Xian's face turned pale, and he glared at Luo Xiyuan with anger.
Luo Xiyuan patted "Xiaolongbao" a few times, but he was still crying hoarsely.
The officials in the courtyard were all stunned, and there was still a living mouth? Fearing deception, the perpetrator could not be kept nearby, so they cautiously moved in the direction of the baby's crying.
Guo Xian looked out and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and throw the thing in your arms, we can take the opportunity to ......"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his buttocks, and for a while, he fell to the stone steps leading to the rockery on the opposite side.
"You!"
Guo Xian was furious, but he didn't have time to vent at Luoxi Garden, because the group of officials not far in front of him had already looked at him in unison.
Luo Xiyuan lowered his voice and said, "Brother Guo, thank you for me, the person who entrusted you to take care of me, and I also thank you for saving your life for this doll!" ”
Guo Xian turned his head and glared at her, and in the shadow of the tree, he seemed to see Luo Xiyuan's pride and contempt at the corners of his mouth.
"Everyone listens to the order, the thief has appeared, except for the one who went to inform Liu Zhutou, the rest of the people will follow me to arrest the thief!"
The official led by him shouted loudly, waved his hand, and a group of officials behind him quickly pounced on Guo Xian's position.
Seeing that those people were about to arrive, Guo Xian couldn't, so he had to tear off a strip of cloth from the corner of his robe and cover his face.
Just as Guo Xian was about to step forward, a sword suddenly fell from the sky, Guo Xian hurriedly caught it, and it happened that he didn't have any weapons on his body at the moment.
"Alive! Go to the Hongyun wine shop ten miles away on the outskirts of the city to return the sword! ”
Guo Xian drew his sword and stepped out, just when he heard Luo Xiyuan's low shout behind him.
When Guo Xian went out, he only lured the servants away, so that Luo Xiyuan could escape with the baby.
It's not that these officials are all top masters, but people in the rivers and lakes, who generally hate mixing themselves with the people of the government, avoid them if they can, and easily avoid them from making enemies or receiving favors from the government.
After the attention of all the officials was diverted to the other corner by Guo Xian, Luo Xiyuan quickly escaped from the back door of Baofu with "Xiaolongbao".
Luoxi Garden followed the marks left along the way in the east garden, and quickly reached the north near the city gate.
She thought that Guo Xian would be able to defeat the group of officials with mediocre martial arts and retreat, but she didn't know who the "Liu Zhutou" in the front yard mentioned by the leader of the officials was.
……
It is said that after Luo Xiyuan wandered around the gate of Beicheng for a long time, it was finally determined that Dongting had escaped from Gusu City safely with Xiao Tao.
She turned around and went back to the city, found a clean inn to live in, and waited until the curfew was lifted before leaving the city with "xiaolongbao".
"Xiaolongbao" was in the inn room, crying non-stop, no matter how much it was coaxed, it couldn't be coaxed.
Luo Xiyuan looked at the bun man who was kicking his limbs on the bed and crying with a red face, and he was impatient and unbearable.
She found the shopkeeper and went to help her hire a nurse, at first the shopkeeper pushed three and four, but after giving a silver ingot, he ran away like oil on the soles of his feet. Before a cup of tea was made, a plump woman with turbulent waves in front of her was invited to the room of Luoxi Garden.
According to the shopkeeper, this woman was originally the proprietress of the steamed bun shop in the city, and after giving birth to a few money-losing goods one after another, she was divorced by her husband's family.
The woman was dressed in coarse cloth, with a faint sadness in her eyes, but her expression was humble and generous, she first saluted Luo Xi Garden, reported her innocence, and then squeezed some milk out of the bowl on the table and handed it to Luo Xi Garden.
"Please test the poison."
Luo Xiyuan was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what she meant.
"You don't have to try it, the poison that can't be tested by the silver needle in the world is also a lot, if you dare to have any evil intentions, I will have the means to make you unable to get out of this house alive."
She saw that the woman was sensible and forbearing, so she said: "Sister Lao helps me take care of this child wholeheartedly, and after my Gusu's affairs are over, if you are willing, I can help you snatch back your own child and take you to Luoyang to buy a house to live." ”
At first, the woman only nodded reasonably, but then when she heard the words of "running a house" and "snatching a child", she was overjoyed and agreed again and again.
The woman thought to herself, although this girl did not look very old, but she was a person in the rivers and lakes, and she was generous and noble, thinking that she was a child of a big family, and she must have the ability to help her get the child back.
After the woman wiped away her tears and thanked her repeatedly, she went to sit on the edge of the bed with "xiao long bao" in her arms and breastfeed.
After the bun was full of milk, it was really much more well-behaved, and he stopped crying, and after smiling sweetly at Luo Xiyuan a few times in the woman's arms, he slowly fell asleep.
The next day, Luo Xiyuan took a carriage and took the woman and Xiao Long Bao out of the city.
The snow on the road is almost knees-free, although the official road on the outskirts of the city is cleared, but there are many ice slags, and the early dawn of the day sets off, and the carriage swayed until after noon before traveling ten miles.
The Hongyun Wine Store ten miles outside the city was closed due to snow, and the business travel was less than half of usual.
Luo Xiyuan went in and picked a private room to sit down, asked for some wine and food, and let the woman use it first, while she hugged the "xiao long bao" and teased it by the fire.
This little bun is very well-behaved, and when he sees his "life-saving benefactor", he begins to laugh, and his small eyebrows and eyes are bent into brackets.
When the woman saw this, she smiled and said, "The girl is really the lucky star of this young lady, and it is strange that this little man flatters you when he sees you!" ”
Luo Xi Yuan said strangely: "This little bun is a girl? ”
The woman smiled and said, "Exactly." ”
Luo Xiyuan also smiled: "Hello girl! ”
Remembering the woman's condition, he asked, "Is this child just like yours, and abandoned by his father because he was a daughter?" ”
The woman put down the bowl of soup in her hand, got up, and pulled out a golden cleatboard from the red futon that had wrapped the baby.
"Although the girl will be disliked by her father, she will not abandon her daughter if the family is gone, for example, my previous husband's family is prosperous, and the three girls are still raised, but I can just divorce and marry again."
The woman handed the gold lock plate in her hand to Luo Xiyuan's eyes, and a line of small characters was suddenly engraved on it, which seemed to be a birthday eight characters.
"This should be a young lady, eighty percent of them are due to something unexpected at home, so they abandoned her on the street."
