Hearing Gu Xiyan's words, Hengyue couldn't stop the joy on her face anymore.

In this way, even if you admit that she is the girl's favorite and most trusted girl!

She happily bowed to Gu Xiyan and answered "yes" more respectfully than usual. Then she got up and began to instruct: "Xinghong, you go and make the bed for the girl, so that the girl can rest for a while; Mo Ju and Ta Lang fanned the girl in two shifts, although the room was cool, but the eyes of the tent were too big, be careful that something was stinging the girl; The girl woke up from the lunch break, and Xinghong played with the girl; I'm going to secretly look for Aunt Duan, if you haven't come back at dusk, you will go to pick up food when you step on the waves, Xinghong and Mo Ju are in the house with the girl...... "Things are arranged in an orderly manner, and the words are clear and clear, Gu Xiyan couldn't help nodding secretly.

Gu Xiyan slept until she woke up naturally, only to hear someone talking in her ear: "Sister, don't be discouraged, Hengyue is sixteen this year, and she will wait for two years at most, and she will be released, when the time comes, who else will be in this house besides my sister?" Gu Xiyan heard that it was Xinghong who spoke, and she couldn't bear to turn her body, wanting to hear what they said.

I only heard Mo Ju sigh and say, "Sister Hengyue is a big girl, and I don't disagree with her." I'm just remembering the monthly routine of one or two a month. ”

Xinghong said softly "um" and said, "I also know, otherwise, my sister will use my monthly money first, anyway, I am alone, I don't need it!" ”

Mo Ju said: "Why don't you buy a needle and thread, how can you use your money, don't worry about this, I'll think of a way?" ”

Xinghong came up with an idea: "Otherwise, you discuss Sister Hengyue, I think she is also a good talker." ”

Mo Ju smiled: "She also has her difficulties. I heard Ta Lang say that her father died when she was a child, and when the uncles saw that her mother had only one daughter, they passed a cousin to her father's name, and within a few years of the cousin's arrival at her house, they took their parents to live with her, let them live in a thatched hut, and did not give them food, and her mother had no choice but to go to the Gu family to work as a washerwoman. You see how much Sister Hengyue usually eats and wears...... She wants to save money for her mother to prevent old age! ”

Xinghong said worriedly: "Then, what should I do?" ”

Mo Ju was silent for a while, and said, "Your sentence reminded me, I think, it is better to ask Sister Hengyue than to ask Aunt Duan." The money in the girl's house has always been in her hands, and if she moves it a little temporarily, where will the girl know ......?"

Hearing this, Gu Xiyan couldn't pretend anymore. She turned over, and Mo Ju and Xinghong immediately stopped speaking vigilantly. Gu Xiyan pretended to be sleepy-eyed and sat up, and asked in a vague tone, "What time is it now?" ”

Mo Ju replied in a tense voice, "It's already three o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Gu Xiyan noticed that she was saying "three o'clock in the afternoon", and couldn't help but wonder: "How do you know it's three o'clock?" ”

Mo Ju was still a little nervous on her face, took out a pocket watch from her arms and handed it to Gu Xiyan, and said, "Sister Hengyue left this to me when she left, I just looked at the time!" ”

Gu Xiyan took it and looked at it carefully.

The white gold surface is carved with exquisite Yin patterns, which is precious and atmospheric. When I opened it, I saw a twelve-hour dial with Arabic numerals.

It seems that the world is much more advanced than I thought!

Gu Xiyan thought self-deprecatingly, and returned the watch to Mo Ju.

Mo Ju shook her hand again and again: "This thing is too valuable, let's keep it for the girl!" ”

Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "Since it was given to you by Hengyue, you have to return it to Hengyue." I'm just borrowing it to see. ”

Mo Ju accepted the pocket watch, and then served Gu Xiyan with Xinghong to wash.

Maybe it was because there was an inappropriate conversation before Gu Xiyan woke up, Mo Ju behaved more deaf than usual, and she chatted with Gu Xiyan: "Second girl, Xinghong came in and told me just now that there was a couple living in the courtyard next door, and that lady was very beautiful, like a fairy descending to earth......"

Hearing these words in Gu Xiyan's ears, it was a bit of a taste of wanting to cover up.

However, it is not a matter of life and death, and there is something chasing after people.

Gu Xiyan said a perfunctory "um".

Mo Ju said in a slightly exaggerated tone: "I see that this couple is not coming in the right way. ”

Everyone has curiosity, and Gu Xiyan is no exception, she really wants to hear what Mo Ju will say. She let out another "oh", clearly more interested than before.

Seeing this, Mo Ju seemed to be more confident in speaking, and said: "I ran out to see, they are very particular about dressing, and that lady is still wearing a blue silk yarn Baihui small tuanhua Luo pleated skirt, which is the new summer style of Jiangnan weaving today." But they didn't have an entourage around them, and even when they ate, it was the food box that the boy personally went to receive. ”

A little maidservant girl actually showed at a glance that others were wearing azure silk yarn and a small tuanhua luo pleated skirt as a tribute, and Xiao Gu Xiyan also said that she was living a very poor life.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but smile.

Mo Ju thought that Gu Xiyan was laughing at her, and emphasized: "Really, I didn't lie to the girl, it was really a blue silk yarn hundred flowers and a small tuanhua luo pleated skirt, which was exactly the same as the one that the mother gave to the second girl." ”

Gu Xiyan smiled and nodded, looking noncommittal.

Xinghong looked at Gu Xiyan's words as if she didn't believe Mo Ju's words, and hurriedly added: "I have seen it too, it is really the same as what the girl is wearing." ”

Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "This doesn't mean that the couple is not coming in the right way!" People don't bring Suiyi, maybe it's a couple of people who come out to play, and don't want others to disturb them? ”

Xinghong blinked her big watery eyes and said approvingly: "That's it, that's it, I said the same thing." ”

Mo Ju retorted: "If it is a loose heart, you should use a light-axle two-wheeled mule cart, why use a four-wheeled two-axle van?" ”

Gu Xiyan didn't understand what she meant.

Mo Ju explained: "The light-axle two-wheeled mule cart is small and does not go fast, but it is stable, not bumpy, and it is best to walk short distances; The four-wheeled two-axle van is large and fast, so it is best to walk on a wide post road to accommodate people who travel far away. If the lady was just out to relax, why did she use a two-axle van, and it was a two-axle carriage with six horses? ”

Xinghong's big eyes rolled around with bones, and he said a little short of breath: "Everyone is expensive to ride in a four-wheeled two-wheeled carriage, maybe that lady is for showmanship?" ”

Mo Ju clapped his hands and said quickly: "Oh, you admit it yourself, those sons and ladies are here to show off, but they are not real valve warriors!" ”

Xinghong was annoyed and embarrassed, and patted Mo Ju on the shoulder.

Mo Ju grinned and hid behind Gu Xiyan.

Xinghong blushed and said, "Second girl, you can't be partial, help her ......"

At this point, there is some happy atmosphere.

Gu Xiyan looked at them with a smile and was silent, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a loud noise.

The three of them looked at each other.

Gu Xiyan's first reaction was an earthquake, she stood up nervously and asked, "What sound?" ”

Mo Ju and Xinghong were taken aback by her appearance, Mo Ju immediately reacted, and hurriedly said, "I'll take a look." ”

Gu Xiyan nodded: "You go and take a look." ”

As he spoke, there was another loud bang.

Gu Xiyan couldn't take care of it anymore, so he picked up Mo Ju and Hongxing and ran out: "Let's go out first." ”

The three of them went out in a panic and heard a loud bang again.

Gu Xiyan looked around, and the source of the voice seemed to be in the east.

Xinghong said uncertainly: "It seems to be the voice from the Xiangyu Pavilion next door." ”

Gu Xiyan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go, let's take a look!" ”

Mo Ju followed in a flash, and instructed Xinghong: "You are at home to watch the house!" ”

Xinghong replied worriedly.

It's talking about the next door, but it's actually about ten meters away from where Gu Xiyan and the others live. The layout of the two courtyards is almost the same, they are all high whitewashed walls and blue tile walls, red lacquered small doors, and the wing rooms lined up behind them have become a wall in the courtyard. The courtyards of the two houses face east with one door facing east and one door facing west, so that the back windows of the wings of the two houses become facing each other. If it weren't for the towering ancient trees in the middle, everyone would be able to see each other when they open the window. It may be because of this that Gu Xiyan and the others can only hear a loud noise from the opposite side in the room.

They trotted all the way and soon arrived at the Xiangyu Pavilion next door, Mo Ju stepped forward and knocked hard a few times, and shouted a few times, but no one answered the door.

When Gu Xiyan was thinking about whether to break down the door, there was a sudden "crackling" sound in the room, like the sound of smashing things, and there was a low sobbing of a woman in the middle of it.

She exchanged a look with Mo Ju, and Mo Ju whispered, "Girl, let's leave it alone." Maybe the lady was just a prostitute in a small restaurant......"

It's good that Gu Xiyan didn't listen, but when he heard it, he became even more determined to take care of this idle matter. If it was really a prostitute who was brought here by a prostitute to play and encountered a pervert, I am afraid that she would not be able to say a word after being tortured to death. Whether you don't know, since you know, how can you just walk away...... Gu Xiyan pulled Mo Ju's hand and drilled towards the woods separated by the two courtyards.

The woods separated by the two courtyards have no paths, and the underneath the trees and on the stems are covered with moist moss.

The two of them held on to the thick ancient tree and cautiously approached the wing of the Xiangyu Pavilion.

At this moment, a woman's mournful and panicked scream suddenly came from the room, like the last sound of a small animal before it died.

Gu Xiyan shuddered, only felt that his legs were weak, and his heart was full of panic.

Mo Ju was no better than Gu Xiyan, she whispered in Gu Xiyan's ear tremblingly: "Second girl, we, let's go call someone!" ”

Gu Xiyan looked at the turquoise moss on his feet and said, "Then you go and call someone, I'll wait for you here." ”

Mo Ju's eyes widened and said, "How can that be?" What if something happens to the second girl......"

Gu Xiyan interrupted her and said, "Go quickly, I'm afraid that I will slip my feet and delay time." You're more alive than me, go and come back quickly, remember that I'm still here waiting for you to rescue you! ”

Mo Ju listened to what Gu Xiyan said made sense.

really let the second girl call someone, maybe the second girl will run away first.

She instructed Gu Xiyan to say a few words like "stay here and don't move", and ran out of the forest with a light posture.
