Chapter 22: Finding a Husband

Catching Kuai seemed to be a little impatient, it was getting late, and there was still a long way to go back to the yamen from here, but he was not too polite, but said coldly: "Shopkeeper Ling, the hour is not early, don't you dare to let the magistrate wait for a long time." ”

Ling Chaofeng understood, and patiently gently took Xiao Wan's hand away: "Don't be afraid, I'll be back soon, there is a death in the store, there must be an explanation." ”

"But......" Xiaowan's eyes trembled, and she was already red with anxiety.

"Follow Aunt Zhang, wait for me at home." He smiled, turned and stepped out the door.

"Morning Wind!" Watching her husband's figure go into the night, Xiaowan's heart seemed to have been gouged out.

Ling Chaofeng paused slightly, although he had his back to Xiao Wan, he smiled, this was the first time he had heard Xiao Wan call his name.

"Night, don't be afraid, the shopkeeper will be back soon." Aunt Zhang followed, put her arm around her and persuaded, "I'll send you back to the house." ”

"Auntie......" Xiaowan choked up, she was about to cry, but when she turned around and saw the guys of the caravan pointing at them in groups of three or five, she unconsciously straightened her waist, so she didn't want to cry to these people.

followed the catcher and Boss Feng, they were originally three brothers, the second one died, and a third master stayed here, when Xiao Wan followed Aunt Zhang upstairs, the third master Feng sat at the table of eight immortals at the top of the stairs, Xiao Wan vaguely heard him say "die well".

Aunt Zhang also heard it, and the mother and son looked at each other without making a sound, and hurried upstairs.

Feng Erye's body has been sent to the yamen, and it will not be returned until the cause of death is determined by an autopsy and the murderer is found. But this didn't seem to matter, the important thing was that the caravan's priceless goods were still in the cellars of the inn, so most of the people stayed here, not waiting for the results of the yamen, but guarding their goods.

Since the people are here, they have to wait for them to eat and drink, and naturally the money for the hotel is also collected, and the downstairs clanged for a while, and the men of the caravan finally ate and went back to their rooms to rest, and the inn was quiet again.

Xiaowan sat in front of the window, lying on the window lattice, and her aunt said that she should not go downstairs again, and the dishes and chopsticks would be cleaned up tomorrow at dawn, but tomorrow it will be dawn, will Ling Chaofeng come back?

It's only been a few days, and just after a few good days, it took a sharp turn, from Mrs. Sun to Second Master Feng, it was all trouble.

"Xianggong." Xiaowan couldn't help choking.

If God wants to take Ling Chaofeng away from her, it is better not to give it to her from the beginning, and then let her return to her previous life, not because she can't bear hardship, but because she will thoroughly understand that there is no hope in her life.

The moonlight spilled in, and Xiaowan raised her teary eyes.

It was from this window that she saw her husband for the first time, although she was frightened at the time, but now that she thinks about it, she only remembers that he is majestic, Ling Chaofeng has exceeded all the imagination she had ever imagined about her future husband, whether it is his appearance or his kindness to herself.

One day her mother's relatives came, saying that it was visible to outsiders, and her face was damaged, and it would be difficult to marry in the future. So the stepmother didn't slap her face again, and the longer she grew, the better she looked, and she became the most beautiful little beauty in Qingling Village.

It's a pity that the life is too hard, and the mother is too spicy, the people in the same village dare not ask her, and marry outside, and the people are afraid of the life to force the gift money, and the stepmother feels that it is not worth it, and the age of fifteen or sixteen is not too old, so she has been dragging it out.

In fact, it's not that she is difficult to marry, and it's not that no one really wants it, it's that the stepmother wants to use her face to make more money.

Now that she meets Ling Chaofeng, Xiaowan doesn't know if it's her luck or her stepmother's luck. Now that this is happening, if Ling Chaofeng is in prison, no matter how much she suffers, she will have to wait for her husband to come out, but if she kills someone, she will pay for her life......

Xiaowan shook her head violently: "No, Xianggong didn't kill anyone." ”

A gust of wind blew outside, and I could hear the sound of the sheets fluttering in the wind, and I forgot to put the sheets in after a busy day.

Xiaowan hurriedly went downstairs and ran to the back door, but she was petite and couldn't hold a few, so she had to go back and forth a few times to finish it, she grabbed the sheets, and only had a slight thought in her heart, how good it would be if she could finish it all at once.

And what happened next left her dumbfounded.

I saw that the sheets broke free from the clamps, got up in the wind, and flew straight through the window of her room, and in the blink of an eye, the rope was empty, and even the sheets she was holding on to her flew away.

Xiaowan's hairs stood up, stiffened for a moment, and hurriedly ran back upstairs, the sheets and pillows of one bed after another had been neatly folded on the table and chairs, and Aunt Zhang heard the movement and went upstairs to see her, saw this scene, and said busily: "Oh, I forgot about this, Wan'er, you are so diligent." ”

Xiaowan looked at her blankly, and Aunt Zhang said: "There is a lot of movement in the open warehouse, don't let them think that we are opening the cellar and worrying about their things, I will come to collect it tomorrow morning, and in the evening, you go to bed early and lock the door." ”

"Auntie......" Xiaowan was speechless.

"Don't be afraid, your uncle and I and Ershan live on the second floor tonight, and those people don't dare to come up." After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, she closed the door and left, and told Xiaowan to lock the door and wait until she heard the sound of the lock falling inside before leaving.

Xiaowan stood in front of the door, timidly looking at the stacked sheets and pillows, swallowed her saliva, and suddenly a spirit, ran to the table and knelt down, clasped her hands together and prayed sincerely: "Ling Chaofeng, he didn't kill anyone, please bless him, bless him......"

She begged and worshipped, facing a pile of sheets, afraid that if others saw it, she must think she was crazy, but Xiaowan knew what had happened.

After worshipping, she knelt on the ground, her ten fingers together, and inadvertently, her eyes fell on the jade ring on her ring finger.

A ray of moonlight passed through the window, just falling on her hand, the jade ring shone in the moonlight, she touched the ring, recited the words in her mouth, and kneeled from the table to the window, towards the vast starry sky, bowing deeply and praying.

A peaceful night, the next day Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for the guests, Ershan went down to open the door of the store, hurriedly ran back and said: "Auntie, the bottom door has been opened." ”

"Could it be that the shopkeeper has returned?" Aunt Zhang frowned, quietly went up to the third floor, stretched out her finger and poked lightly at the door of the new house, and the door actually opened.

The room was empty, the beds were neatly made, I don't know if I didn't sleep all night or I got up early to make it, and the bride was gone.

"Late?" The aunt looked upstairs and downstairs, but Mu Xiaowan was nowhere to be seen, she hurriedly instructed Ershan, "If you go to chase, you must be going to the yamen to find the shopkeeper." ”

At this time, it was just dawn, but Xiaowan went out when the moon was high, and when Ershan chased out of the inn, she had already arrived in Baisha Town.

In the end, it is the most lively place in Shili Eight Village, the shops and stalls along the street are preparing to open, in the morning light, the guys from each store are busy coming in and out, Xiaowan stepped forward and asked boldly: "Little brother, do you know where the county government is?" ”

Those people looked at Xiao Wan and asked where the yamen was early in the morning, which naturally made people strange, and they raised their hands and pointed: "Go north, the northernmost is it." ”

She was so grateful that she was about to look for it, only to see the shop opposite the door remove the door panel and open the openwork wooden door, and out of the eaves came a beautiful young woman, with a fluttering gauze skirt, she looked up at the sky and smiled with satisfaction.

When I looked back, I met my eyes with Xiao Wan on the street, and Xiao Wan recognized that it was the girl Yue who claimed to open a rouge shop.
