Chapter Forty-Six: The Poor Dagger
"Not good!"
Ning Caichen looked startled, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Qin Yuan, do you know the location of the orphans of those two families?" ”
Bai Qinyuan was stunned when he heard this, and then gasped: "Those two families have always been good friends, and the remaining few people live in a courtyard in the east of the city!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Bai Qinyuan had already continued to shout to the outside world: "Uncle Niu goes to the east of the city, the Li family's house!" ”
"Got it! Young master, sit tight! ”
There was a shout outside, and then the speed of the carriage quickly accelerated several times, and the group of people accompanied the morning glow towards the east of Hangzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
......
A wing room in the courtyard of the Li family in the east of the city.
A beautiful woman is asleep with her eyebrows furrowed, as if she has countless worries that are difficult to resolve even if she enters a dream, and her beautiful face is slightly haggard, it is conceivable that she must not have rested well in the past few days.
Faintly protected on the inside of the body is a two- or three-year-old child, who is sleeping with a pillow in his arms, but he feels very carefree.
At this moment, a few gentle movements outside the wing room came, and the sleeping woman was awakened at once, but she was not very old, but now she had shouldered the mission of protecting the last bit of blood in the family, trembling like walking on thin ice, this is what she has felt in the last few days.
Suddenly encountered such a monstrous disaster, not to mention that they were just ordinary scholars, and there were a few people from the ordinary scholarly family, and even the Bai family, which was huge and powerful all over the south of the Yangtze River, only had two or three big cats and kittens left.
It was just because she was greedy to take her younger brother out and returned a little late, so she escaped such a catastrophe, and she was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and the fear of the past few days has made her extremely nervous.
At this time, a little noise was enough to wake her up from her sleep.
"Who?"
Carefully protecting her little brother, the woman looked out with some bloodshot in her eyes.
"Delicate girl, I am!"
A man's voice came from the small courtyard outside, but the woman breathed a sigh of relief, put the dagger she was holding back under the pillow, and sighed softly as she looked at her sleeping little brother.
"It's here, Brother Li!"
In response, the woman straightened up and opened the door, and the sky was just dawning, and a tall and strong man figure stood in the courtyard, with a broad back that seemed to be able to withstand all the suffering.
Hearing the sound, the man turned around and looked at the bloodshot in the woman's eyes, and said with some distress: "I've been suffering for a few days, sister, let's clean up and go out of the city, and come back when the wind passes, otherwise your body will really collapse." ”
His face is not handsome but extremely resolute and loyal, and his eyes contain a pure and determined divine light, but also a deep sorrow.
"Brother Li, these days you have been busy cleaning up the corpses of the two families, and leaving us such a place to live, the little sister is really beyond retribution!"
The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly.
"It's all the same, poor people, what's so troublesome, it's really hard... The Bai family is the real hard worker, as far as I know, the prince of Qin Yuan is afraid that he has not closed his eyes for three days, and the entire city of Hangzhou has been sifted several times by ploughing. ”
There was a look of hatred in Brother Li's eyes.
"It's a pity that I haven't caught half a clue until now, those people are really evil!"
If he hadn't escorted the Xu family sisters and brothers out to visit the night market and returned with them, he would probably have been part of the corpse lying there at this time, and he would have been unable to restrain the anger in his heart when he thought of his dead parents, relatives and friends.
It's a pity that he is just from an ordinary small family, in addition to some military inheritance, the family has a few properties in Hangzhou.
It's just that all the fire burned out, and only three or two deeds remained, barely making ends meet.
Now that there is an undercurrent surging in Hangzhou, he has already been aware of it, and he only hopes to leave this place where the storm will start as soon as possible, leaving a trace of blood for the two families to continue!
Otherwise, when martial law is so imposed, he will not say that he wants to leave Hangzhou City, which is really becoming more and more dangerous in the city.
Anyway, as the family members of their victims, it won't be too harsh to leave, and it's not a bad thing to be able to leave this whirlpool.
He naturally discussed these things with the Xu family's Jiaorong sister-in-law, and she also felt that it was better to leave first, and the Xu family's property had some undestroyed land deeds, so there was no need to worry about the future life being lost.
So early in the morning, the man called Xu Jiaorong up, since he was going to leave, the sooner he went, the better, lest something happen to him after a long night.
After listening to the man's meaning, Xu Jiaorong had no opinion: "Then I'll go and call Xuan'er up..."
"No, no, he's young, if you don't mind, I'll go in and pick him up!"
The man waved his hand and asked what Xu Jiaorong meant.
"Then it's troublesome Brother Li!"
Xu Jiaorong bowed.
Soon the two of them walked out with their usual things and a sleeping child, and a half-ringing carriage was ready to go.
The man helped Xu Jiaorong into the car, then delivered the child to her, and soon drove the carriage towards the outside of the city.
An old servant on the side sat in the carriage, looked at the man driving and suddenly said, "Young Master Li, why don't you let the old man come, you go inside and see how Miss Xu and the others are doing." ”
"That's it..."The man was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't think much about it, and nodded: "Then it's troublesome Uncle Wang, I'll go and see if Jiaorong needs them." ”
"Hey, no trouble, no trouble." Uncle Wang laughed lightly: "The two of you are also in common adversity, Miss Xu is young and beautiful, the young master can also use more heart, and it is not impossible to recast the glory of the Li and Xu families in the future." ”
Hearing Uncle Wang's words, the man showed a somewhat helpless look: "Uncle Wang... Where do I have this in mind now? Let's talk about it later, if you can really come together over time, it will be fate, if not, I will be the mother of the delicate girl, help her escort! ”
"Don't mention this matter in the future, lest it be as if I am bullying others and have no one to rely on."
"Good! The young master is still a righteous gentleman, and the little old man will not talk much in the future, not much! ”
Uncle Wang snorted, but the man didn't take it to heart, knocked lightly on the carriage door, and got the answer and went in.
And Uncle Wang's eyes suddenly became transparent, where was the appearance of being muddy just now, looking at the man who entered the carriage, there was a vague look of scheming on his face: Don't worry about you being a decent man, I'm afraid that you don't have that mind.
As long as he has this thought, he will push the boat down the river when the time comes, and he won't do too much about this kind of thing as a long-term relationship.
However, just as the carriage was approaching the East City Gate, Uncle Wang suddenly stopped the carriage, and the man and Xu Jiaorong in the carriage immediately felt abnormal and asked, "Did something happen to Uncle Wang?" ”
Opening the window on the side of the carriage, the man saw through his vision that the street was empty, and suddenly showed a nervous expression.
A faint voice echoed in the air: "Don't get out of the car yet?!" ”
