Chapter 75: Tempting with Profit
Xia Niang's body shook twice, and then she threw the pottery bowl to support her forehead: "Strange, how dizzy ......." Han Hun said half a while, and then fell down softly.
Ah Su was shocked for a while, stretched out his hand and dragged her and shouted: "Xia Niang, Xia Niang, what's wrong with you?" β
Lan E saw that she grabbed Xia Niang and shook and shook at this moment, as if she had forgotten her sisters, so she swept her eyes towards Wang Xian...... Instead, he handed it out the door again.
Wang Xian stood up, tiptoed and moved out step by step.
As soon as she moved, Ah Su suddenly raised her head, looked at her viciously and said, "If you take another step, I will kill you immediately." β
Before, Lan E only thought that Ah Su was a little naΓ―ve, but now she saw that her eyes were fierce, and she pushed Xia Niang to the ground as she spoke, and stood up.
Wang Xian hurriedly retreated.
Here Lan E asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?" My sister just wants to see Xia Niang. β
Ah Su sneered: "What look at Xia Niang, I'm not a fool." This woman usually carries water and chops wood, has practiced a few brute force in the morning, and when she speaks, she lifts Xia Niang to her shoulder, and turns around to go out.
It was only her who heard the voice just now, but in case there were other people in the temple, the woman went out and shouted......
Lan E's heart turned around for half a circle, and her mouth was already asking, "Do you want to live a stable life?" β
Ah Su listened to the footsteps and slowly turned his head.
Lan E saw that her eyes were flickering, so she said softly, "If you help my sister...... I will grant you 100 gold, and you will be able to buy a house and a maid anywhere, and live a prosperous life from now on. β
As a commoner, it is enough to have a house to live in, to have food and clothing, not to mention to buy a house and a maid to be the master.
It's a great temptation.
Ah Su stared at Lan E for a moment, stared at it for a long time, and asked, "Is that really the case?" β
Seeing that she seemed to be a little moved, Lan E continued to say: "I will write a handwritten letter, you can go to Ping'an Fang to get it at any time." β
This lady is young, and she doesn't think she can go shopping.
If it's the big ...... I can't believe it.
Ah Su glanced back at the outside of the hall, then turned to look at the two sisters, looked back and forth for a long time, and then asked in a low voice, "How can you help?" β
Her voice was almost whispered, and Lan E took two steps forward, and when she got closer to her, she asked, "Do you recognize the person who sent my sister here?" β
Ah Su looked at the ground in vain, and said while thinking: "This person came half a month ago...... I heard Chang Da say that he was a subordinate of Shishiro. β
Fourteen Lang? This fourteen must be the same as his thirteenth rank in the Wang family.
Lan E thought about the concubines in the Pei family, the Liu family, and the Li family a few times, but then asked, "Have you seen Shishilang?" How old is he? β
Ah Su frowned and shook his head: "I haven't seen it, I only hear Chang sigh...... If Shishiro is a lady, he must also be the first in the world. β
One in the world? Does it refer to physiognomy or demeanor?
I want to meet this Changda.
Lan E sneered in her heart and instructed Asu: "Now you put down Xia Niang and still go to guard the palace door." β
Ah Su's eyes flashed, revealing a little hesitation.
Lan E raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Don't worry, although I am a little lady, I also have a lot of money." β
This woman has answered, why didn't she take the opportunity to escape?
Wang Xian's eyes swept across Lan E's face a few times, and she wanted to speak, but she finally endured it again.
Ah Su looked gloomy for a moment, bent down and put Xia Niang on the haystack, and then looked at Lan E: "Little lady needs to remember to guard." With that, he turned around and walked out of the main hall. Suddenly, the door of the temple was locked.
The hall suddenly became dark again.
Lan'e still went back to sit down on the haystack, and Wang Xian squeezed to sit beside her.
The two sat silently for a while, and Wang Xian touched Lan'e with her elbow: "A'e, why didn't you run away just now?" β
I can't bear to ask until now, which can be regarded as a bit of a pressure.
Lan E dusted off the dry grass on the hem of her skirt and said lazily: "When I got off the carriage, there was a lot of noise here, even if I stunned a Xia Niang at this time, and then subdued Asu, the chance for you and me to escape is still too small." β
When they came, the sisters were covered with faces, and although they could not see, their voices were very clear.
Wang Xian did not speak.
There was silence in the hall for a moment.
In the silence, the light that had previously been obliquely reflected on the edge of the incense table gradually moved to the center of the desk.
Lan E came up sleepy, and was about to close her eyes and sleep again, when Wang Xian's expression froze, and she suddenly sat up straight.
*****
The water temple is about ten zhang to the south, and there was originally a river.
After the great drought, the originally wide river surface became a shallow ditch.
Wei Liu jumped down to the bottom of the ditch, and without waiting for everyone to ask, he suppressed his voice and said: "Lang Jun, there are more than 300 in the grange, the apse, the side hall, and the bud kitchen of the Water God Temple, and there are about 60 people. β
The Grange and the Water Temple have nearly 400 people in two places, but there are only four in this room.
Li Yi frowned: "How many people are guarding those two little ladies?" β
After following him for a few years, Wei Liu immediately understood what his master meant, shook his head and said: "The servant just saw it, the main hall and the side hall are only half of the earthen wall, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to sneak in to save people." β
If it was in the past, it would have been a murderous matter if the soldiers had been transferred, in short, they wanted to save people. It's just that this time most of the guards are disaster victims, and a few people are a little embarrassed.
After a moment of silence, Li Yi lightly instructed Tie Xin: "I want to find some prey." He commanded and raised his hand
The victims of the disaster in the suburbs are in groups, and there are no wild vegetables and grass seeds that can be eaten, so they are looking for prey...... Tie Xin was stunned for a moment, and then instantly saluted: "Yes." β
After that, the man's figure flickered, and he went to the top of the ditch in a few big steps.
When his footsteps were far away, Li Yi took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, grabbed the corner of the handkerchief with the middle finger of his right index finger, and then stretched out his arm...... After a few breaths, the veil flicked slightly.
Li Yi hooked his lips and instructed Wei Liu lightly: "Go up and see what wind is blowing now." β
Yanpazi measures the wind direction...... Wei Liu's eyes flashed, and he went up, and after more than a dozen breaths, the man jumped down again, clapped his hands and said: "Lang Jun, the servant just tried it with soil, and now the southeast wind is blowing." β
Southeasterly ......
Li Yi looked up and looked out of the ditch.
Clumps of thatch grew on both sides of the ditch, and through the tips of the grass, it was vaguely visible that there was a forest in the distance.
Li Yi's eyes turned from the forest, and then turned back to look at Wei Qi: "Go to the forest over there." β
After following for a long time, Wei Qi and Wei Liu couldn't figure out what their masters meant.
The two brothers looked at each other, when one turned around to lead the horse, the other explored the way in front, and the three of them carefully went to the top of the ditch.
At this time, it was getting close to noon, and smoke was rising from the Grange in the distance, and smoke began to rise from the nearby water temple.
The smoke curls and slowly drifts westward.
The woods were not far from the river, and the fields were now knee-high with thatch. When the three of them entered the woods through the grass, Li Yi found a stone and sat down, and instructed the two of them, "Check some branches." β
Do you want to have a fire on this hot day?
Wei Liu glanced at his brothers, and when one of them tied his horse, the other went to collect firewood.
After picking up most of the bundles, Tie Xin brought over a dozen gray sparrows. When the man arrived, he threw the finch to the ground, stepped forward and saluted, "Lang Jun, the servant has beaten more than a dozen gray sparrows." β
