Chapter 4: Mo I
At this moment, an old woman came out of the house, holding a slightly thicker autumn coat in her hand. The old woman was about fifty years old, with a slightly rickety figure, gray hair, and a kind face.
"Girl, don't think about it, the son said that he came back to pick up the girl, and specially instructed the old man to take care of the girl, this North Cang is not later than the South, and in autumn, the weather will be cold." As he spoke, he put the clothes on Shangguan Jiyue's body.
Shangguan Jiyue took her eyes off the jade pendant, looked at the person who came, and asked unwillingly again: "Mother-in-law, did that son really save me alone?" Haven't you really seen a little boy of six or seven years old? ”
"No, at that time, Childe came in a carriage, and after entrusting you to me, he left in a hurry, as if there was something important, and he left in a hurry."
"Mother-in-law, don't you really know which family he is?" In Shangguan Jiyue's cognition at the moment, she thought that only by finding that son could she know whether Yun'er was alive or dead.
"Girl, that son was kind to the old man back then, and he would come to see me once or twice a year, but I really don't know which one it is."
Shangguan Jiyue's eyes darkened, endured the sourness in her heart, stood up and said slowly: "It's okay, mother-in-law, thank you, now that my body is fine, it's time to leave." ”
As soon as she heard that Shangguan Jiyue was leaving, her mother-in-law panicked: "But that son said that he would come to pick up the girl in a while, and when you leave, how can I explain to him?" ”
"Originally, I should thank you for saving my life, but my brother's whereabouts are still unknown, I will not let him be left behind, and I must find him to feel at ease. Say goodbye today, and hope that my mother-in-law will not stop me. I have been bothering for a long time, and I also hope that my mother-in-law will see that son in the future to relay today's words, leave an address, and one day, if I can return safely, I will come to the door to thank me for saving my life. ”
Granny Meng saw that Shangguan Jiyue had made up her mind, and she must not be able to keep it anymore, so she immediately went back to the house and took a few taels of silver, packed up some food, handed it to Shangguan Jiyue, and said warmly: "You take these, and use them on the road." ”
Tearfully saying goodbye to Granny Meng, Shangguan Jiyue casually bought a set of black men's clothes in a ready-to-wear store on the street, the dull color was depressed and heavy, just like her current mood. Her long hair was tied high, and her delicate figure was covered by a wide robe, and it was not obvious that she was a daughter's family, but her face was even paler.
Her whole family was slaughtered, and Yun'er's whereabouts are unknown, and now there is only one thought, that is, revenge, killing Situ Rui, and destroying the Nanchi Kingdom. Standing on a strange street and watching the people rush to and fro on the street, she felt like an orphan forgotten by God.
In her previous life, her husband cheated, she was heartbroken and fell down the winding road with a car, and a lonely soul traveled to this dynasty that did not exist in history, and God still did not treat her favorably, and in just nine years, she became alone again.
In a trance, there was a sudden commotion in front of the crowd, and then I saw a young man in a brocade dress running and quickly splitting the crowd and rushing towards her, stretching out his index finger to her and making a "shh" gesture, and then, extremely embarrassed, hid in the cracks of a few rotten wooden planks standing in the corner behind her.
As soon as the young man in brocade was hidden, he caught up behind him two rough men with five big and three thick, the two men were majestic, with thick arms and round waists, and bare arms, with a fierce and vicious look. One of them, who was still holding a ball of thumb-thick hemp rope in his hand, was now looking east and west, and then walked in the direction of Shangguan Jiyue.
Shangguan Jiyue is a person who practices martial arts, at this moment, she can clearly hear the brocade-clothed young man's breath under the wooden plank, his heartbeat is crazy, and she looked at the two rough men again, she took a few steps back without a trace, covering the corner of the brocade-clothed young man's robe exposed outside the wooden board.
"Boy! Have you ever seen a handsome young man with such a tall head running in which direction? One of the big men even said with a gesture, the sound was like a bell, and the sound was like thunder, and he looked at Shangguan Jiyue and asked.
Shangguan Jiyue nodded with a blank expression, her pale face looked very scared, and said, "I see." ”
When the brocade-clothed young man hiding in the wooden board heard Shangguan Jiyue's three words 'saw', he closed his eyes resignedly, and was angrily trying to flick his sleeves and break out of the board.
Suddenly, Shangguan Jiyue raised her hand and pointed to an inconspicuous alley on the right side of the street corner, and said, "There." ”
When the two big men heard this, they immediately pulled out their legs and walked away quickly, without even saying a word of thanks.
It wasn't until the figures of the two big men disappeared that the young man emerged from the dilapidated wooden plank, and while slapping the sawdust on his body that had been eaten by insects, he thanked Shangguan Jiyue with a smile on his face: "Thank you, brother!" Thank you, brother! ”
Shangguan Jiyue glanced at the brocade-clothed young man lightly, did not speak, and was about to leave, but was grabbed by the young man's arm.
Looking at the handsome face of the brocade-clothed young man in front of him, and then at the slender knuckles that were buckled on his arms like onions, Shangguan Jiyue not only frowned, but asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"May I ask my brother's surname, where does he live? I will definitely come to thank you for saving my life! The brocade-clothed young man scratched his head, looking at Shangguan Jiyue's beautiful face and blushing a little.
"A life-saving grace?" Shangguan Jiyue secretly wondered, why is this line so familiar? Not long ago, I seemed to have said the same thing to Granny Meng.
Seeing that Shangguan Jiyue finally had a reaction, the young man turned around in a circle, flicked his sleeves and sighed, and said helplessly: "You don't know, I escaped all the way here from Jian'an!" Did you see the two big men just now? Chasing me all the way from Jian'an to here, I am bound to be arrested and sent back to their young lady to be a son-in-law! ”
Shangguan Jiyue secretly thought to herself: Jian'an is the capital of Beicang, north of Nanling County, only dozens of miles away, but it is credible to escape all the way here, but what is going on with this son-in-law?
Seeing that Shangguan Jiyue didn't mean to interrupt her, a touch of cunning flashed in his good-looking peach blossom eyes, and then he continued with foaming at the mouth: "Alas! It's all my fault that I look too jade and are handsome and chic! The beauty is sad to pass the hero pass, and after a young lady from a large family in Jian'an City saw this little master, she secretly promised me that she would not marry unless she was a young master, but she was a girl in her family and there was no man, so she forced her to die and threatened her father to recruit me as a son-in-law. Although I have a big brother above, but a dignified seven-foot man, standing up to the sky and the earth, making contributions and serving the country, how can he join another family? ! So, the master swore to death and escaped. ”
Hearing this, Shangguan Jiyue smiled secretly in her heart, she already knew that what this young man said was not true. But she suddenly had an idea of wanting to tease him, deliberately squinting her eyes up and down, looking him left and right for a long time, until she scratched her ears and cheeks when she saw the young man, and she was uncomfortable, so she asked slowly: "Beauty is like jade, warm fragrance in the arms, isn't it merry!" Why are you still running away? ”
