Replace the white gauze skirt, this plain blue is a cotton fabric texture, which may not be as elegant as the white clothes but comfortable. [Maybe the mentality has also changed over the years, and the gorgeous and brightly colored clothes have become less important, and comfort is the first priority.]

It's just that even though I changed my dress, no one came back in front of the firewood house. It's already dark outside, and in this case, you're going to shut us up for the night? It's useless to regret it now, but fortunately, the other party didn't take away our baggage, as well as dry food and water, so that we wouldn't go hungry.

In the dead of night, I dozed off on Ah Ping's shoulder, he took me to his lap and covered my eyes with his palm, and then heard his voice above: "You sleep." ”

Knowing that he was going to guard and let me sleep, I didn't bother, and found a comfortable place to close my eyes. But it was impossible to fall asleep in this environment, and I could hear the wind and grass at the slightest moment, so I woke up almost instantly when the footsteps appeared.

The door opened, and a lamp was held in the hands of the visitor, illuminating the dimly lit firewood room.

The person who came was the housekeeper who led the way during the day, and he stood outside the door and ordered in a deep voice: "Miss wants to see you." ”

At this time? On second thought, whether or not the time is wrong, the most important thing is to be able to solve the problem as soon as possible. So we got up from the ground, and Ah Ping wanted to carry me again, shook his head at him, and motioned to help me a little. It was rare that he did not make a stubborn mistake, and after listening to my words, he put one hand around my waist and the other hand held my elbow so that his injured foot did not touch the ground.

Walking a little slowly, the family walked in front of him and couldn't see it, and when he came outside, he found that the starry sky was bright and the moon was bright tonight, indicating that tomorrow would be another sunny day. When he came to a hall, he stopped and turned around, and said with a blank face, "Wait here first." ”

After leaving this command, the family went through the doorway to the back room, and the two of them sat in their chairs and waited rather than standing in the hall. However, as soon as his butt touched the chair, he heard footsteps and came back, and the family walked into the hall quickly, his eyes swept over, and he still said expressionlessly: "Miss let the man in first to talk." ”

I was in my heart, why should I see each other separately? We have already changed the dress, and the silver is paid for and the two are cleared away, and we still need to meet them one by one so troublesomely? Although he muttered in his heart, he turned his head and whispered to Ah Ping, "I'm waiting for you here." ”

Watching Ah Ping's back disappear into the doorway, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: in the end, I am still growing, and I am in a deep predicament for a while, but I immediately understood the truth of bending and bending.

After waiting for half an hour, I heard movement in the hall just when I was anxious, but the footsteps did not look like Ah Ping's. Sure enough, it was Jin Lan's maid Cai'er who appeared in the field of vision, she still looked arrogant, and when she walked in front of me, she threw a small cloth bag, "Take it, you can leave the orchid skirt and leave." ”

I pulled open the rope of the small cloth pocket and looked at it, and there were as many as ten taels of silver in it. didn't talk nonsense, took out the white gauze skirt that had been changed out and put it in the baggage and put it on the table, and then put away the silver again before raising his head and saying, "Thank you Miss Cai'er, I don't know when my father-in-law will come out?" When he comes out, we'll go. ”

The maid looked impatient: "Take the silver and leave quickly, who knows who your father-in-law is." After the words fell, he raised his voice outside the hall and shouted: "Adong, Ade, take this village girl out." ”

Immediately two men dressed in dingding appeared, not fierce but also cold, and I was almost dragged along. These two men didn't care if my foot was injured, and they dragged me out of the gate of the Yuanwaifu all the way, and then the burden and two pieces of cloth were also thrown out.

Witnessing the deep black door being slammed shut, I didn't cry or make a fuss, just squinted and watched coldly.

The current situation is very clear, the other party is deliberately detaining Ah Ping in the mansion, regardless of his purpose, at this time, if I cry impulsively, I will only be driven away as a crazy woman, and it will not help.

After a moment's pause, I put the burden on my left shoulder, tied two pieces of cloth to my back, and got up with great difficulty. The town was deserted in the middle of the night, the moon was shining overhead, and every step could only walk alone in his own shadow.

Report to the officer? This was the first thought that came to my mind, but not to mention that I don't know who the authority in the town is, even if I know and find this way, I'm afraid it won't be feasible. The reason why Jin Yuanwai's daughter Jin Lan dares to be so unscrupulous must be related to her family background, there are too many examples of officials protecting each other, how can a little ordinary person fight?

I had already walked out of the town in a deep thought, and I didn't dare to look back, for fear that I wouldn't be able to take this step if I turned back. When I came, Ah Ping slept in a daze with me on his back, and he was not familiar with the road, so he could only walk into the dark with a rough judgment.

"Who's up front?"

A deep question broke the silence, and I rushed almost three steps into two steps before my heart sank. When he got closer, he saw through the moonlight that the person standing in the darkness was really Uncle Mu, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Mu, quickly find a way to save Ah Ping." ”

As soon as my arm tightened, I felt a slight pain, and it was Uncle Mu who grabbed me, and I heard him ask in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

I recounted the incident as briefly as possible, and pleaded again: "Uncle Mu, please help find a way to save Ah Ping." The palm that held my arm was released in an instant, and Uncle Mu asked me about the general direction of Jin Yuanwai's house, and then only gave a deep order: "You go back first." Then I felt a flash in front of my eyes, and people had swept past me and rushed in the direction of the town.

After only a moment's hesitation, I turned around and walked back, not to mention that I didn't know the way back, and even if I did, it would be impossible to go back alone before Ah Ping returned safely. Originally, I would go out of the town with the idea of asking Uncle Mu for help, but with no background and no power, the only way I could think of was to use force to rescue Ah Ping. And after seeing Ah Niu being tied up in the house by Uncle Mu's five flowers, he felt that since he wanted to solve the matter by force, then he must be the best choice.

As for why he met Uncle Mu halfway, he could figure it out in his mind. Obviously, Ah Ping went to consult him about the market this time, so he only dispelled the idea of coming up immediately yesterday afternoon and came over early this morning. And Uncle Mu must have known that we had come to the town in a hurry, but he didn't see us back until late at night, so he came out to look for someone.

When I slowly returned to the front of the town, I saw two people walking in the distance of the empty street.

Squinting his eyes and looking closely, he couldn't help but be surprised, how could the figure walking in front of him look so much like Ah Ping?

I shuffled a few steps, and by the time the outline became clearer, I was able to make sure, but then the question arose: how could it be so fast? His eyes swept towards the figure behind him, and it was naturally Uncle Mu who he met before.

I couldn't help but think in my heart, is this Uncle Mu really a master, can fly the eaves and walk the wall? I imagined the picture of flying up the wall with light skills in my mind, and immediately felt unreliable and outrageous, those were all written blindly in martial arts.

I didn't make a sound, Ah Ping, who had been walking slowly, raised his head as if he felt something, and when he saw that it was me, his steps stopped, and he looked at me from a short distance. Just when I was wondering what he was looking at, I suddenly saw him rushing towards me, and with a bang, I was pulled over and crashed directly into his arms! It hurts. But then I felt like he was holding my arms a little bit harder, so tight that it couldn't be tighter, as if he was going to rub me into his body.

He also stretched out his hand around him, and no matter what happened, he must have been frightened.

The palm of his hand patted on his back, finally soothing his nerves and making his body no longer stiff. At this time, Uncle Mu behind him also spoke: "It's late, let's go back first." ”

Ah Ping was willing to let go of me, but immediately his eyes drooped, and his face changed suddenly, "Your feet! ”

I wanted to say that I didn't care about my feet at this time, but when I saw his nervous appearance, I retracted my words and only asked, "Do you still have the strength to carry me now?" He bent down without thinking about it, and then remembered something to straighten up and untie the cloth on my back, and then Uncle Mu took it and carried the burden with him, and then carried me back again.

When I got out of the town, I asked, "Uncle Mu, how did you rescue Ah Ping?" ”

Uncle Mu, who was walking on the side, paused before replying: "I didn't help much, I just found Yuanwaifu in the direction you pointed out, and I saw Ah Ping walking out, so we went back together." ”

This answer was unexpected to me, which means that Jin Lan took the initiative to release Ah Ping? If it was just me and Ah Ping, I would definitely ask him what was going on, but now that Uncle Mu was next to me, it was inconvenient for me to ask more, so I put my doubts in my heart first.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when I returned to the village, the sky was faintly white, and it was almost dawn. Uncle Mu dropped a sentence: "Go back and rest." "He first crossed us and walked towards the village.

When I got here, I was no longer worried that something would happen, and I remembered that I didn't have time to thank people when I looked at the distant back. No matter what happens, he can come out in the middle of the night to find us.

When we walked to the door of the house, we saw that the door was half-hidden, and there was still a fire hidden in the door, and the two pieces of cloth and baggage that Uncle Mu had brought back were placed by the door. Ah Ping didn't push the door because he was behind my back, and when I walked to the door, I pushed open the door, and sure enough, I saw a candle lit in the hall, but seeing that the candle was only a little burning, and there was a puddle of wax oil dripping on the table, I knew in my heart that Widow Liu had been waiting anxiously in the hall when she saw that we had not returned for a long time. I'm afraid that Uncle Mu will come to look for us and be entrusted by her, and just now Uncle Mu deliberately walked a few steps back first in order to inform her of the news that we came back safely, and then he must have entered the back room.
