Three days later, the firecrackers and the group returned home, and she sat in the carriage.

Holding the sachet and the reply letter handed to her by Si Yanyin when she was leaving,

There is also a string of beads, since what Si Yanjin sent is just an ordinary family letter,

That Si Yanyin's reply is naturally ordinary, but there is still a string of beads in this sachet,

She couldn't understand it, it seemed to be just a string of delicately crafted beads,

But every time a firecracker touches it, there is a sense of grievance in my heart.

Grievance? Yes, it's grievance, and when she held the beads in her hand for the fifth time, she finally figured out how to interpret this feeling.

The inexplicable urge to cry, the urge to throw the string of beads aside.

"Why is this happening?"

She pondered all the way.

In the evening, I arrived at the county seat and found an inn to stay.

The second lady took the three maids to the market together.

"I didn't expect the sun to set, and it's still so lively here?"

Pear Blossom pulled Ruyu to look at the east and west, and disappeared after a while.

"Pear Blossom, where did you go crazy again?"

The second lady was looking for it in the crowd.

"Madam, this town is not big, and Pear Blossom and the others also remember the way back to the inn, so don't worry."

"Forget it, let those two stinky girls have fun on their own."

The two of them walked around for a while, bought a few small items and planned to go back.

I didn't want to, but at the mouth of a small alley, I saw a thin child being kicked to the ground by a drunk.

The two who couldn't see it stepped forward to inquire and learned that the drunk man was the child's father.

"What? Lao Tzu beats his son, it is justified, and the wheel is ..... Is it your turn to tuckle? ”

The drunk man carried the flask, staggering and barely standing on his feet.

"You said he was your son, why did I look at you who didn't look like you at all?"

I saw the child sitting on the ground with a hanging nose and beautiful eyebrows.

But this drunkard has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and is vulgar and ugly.

It doesn't look like his species.

"It's your business! Don't get out of here! Get lost! Get lost! ”

The drunk stepped forward and tried to push them aside.

The firecracker quickly pulled the second lady aside.

"He, he's not my father! He's not! ”

The child suddenly knelt on the ground and grabbed the corners of the second lady's skirt with both hands:

"Ask the two kind-hearted sisters to save me!"

"What? He's not your father? ”

The second lady asked.

"Little bunny! You...... What nonsense are you talking about? ”

When the drunk man heard this, he immediately became angry and kicked the child to the ground.

"Stop! If you do this again, I'll report to the official! ”

Firecrackers stopped in front of him, could it be that this person is a personal trafficker?

"Reporter? What about the officer? This kid... I bought this boy for thirty taels of silver.

Justifiably follow my surname, eat my clothes, follow me for more than a year, and everyone in this city knows it.

If you go to report to the official, I have a reason to say! ”

"Sister! Sister! I was abducted and brought here, and although he paid for me, he often abused me.

He wandered into the gambling house, owed a bunch of debts, and now wants to sell me again to pay off the debts, but I refuse.

took the opportunity to escape several times and was captured by him...... He locked me in the house, and I couldn't pick the lock to escape.

Unexpectedly, he was caught. I saw that the child was still tied with broken chains.

"Oh, not only an alcoholic, but also a gambler!"

As soon as the firecrackers are heard, isn't this a livestock that falls into the eyes of money? It's so easy to do.

"Get out of the way, Lao Tzu... Whether I drink or gamble, it has nothing to do with your half dime! ”

"Why is it okay?" The second lady suddenly stepped forward: "I bought this child,

How much you can offer! ”

"You... Did you buy it? The drunkard frowned, and as soon as he heard the money, the wine seemed to sober up a little.

"yes, don't you have a gambling debt and plan to sell him again? Our lady paid for him,

Why not? ”

Firecracker asked.

"No.... Of course not... It's just that this rabbit cub has been my son for a year!

Naturally, I have to think about this price. ”

The drunkard secretly looked at the second lady in front of him, wearing a golden hairpin and dressed gorgeously,

looks like he was born in a rich and noble family, so he shouldn't be deceived,

They bought it better, and if they didn't buy it, he could have blasted them away.

"Don't talk nonsense, just tell you the price."

The second lady was uncomfortable with his rat eyes.

"Then the price is three hundred taels!"

The drunken man approached the child and grabbed him by the collar.

"Not a penny less!"

"Three hundred taels?" The few onlookers around all gasped.

"How can this kid be worth the price?"

The child who was pulled in the arms of the drunkard also lowered his head after hearing the price,

He knew that no one would buy him for three hundred taels.

"Okay, it's a deal, follow me back to get the money."

The second lady's face did not change.

"What?" Even the firecrackers beside him were taken aback,

The second lady, who picks the door finely on weekdays, doesn't even cut the price?

"Are you really willing to pay three hundred taels?"

Drunks also find it incredible.

"Less nonsense, to sell or not to sell?"

"Sell! Of course sell! Hehehehehe! ”

When the drunkard heard that three hundred taels had arrived, the mother-in-law in front of him was really a fool,

is willing to spend three hundred taels to buy such a powerless little ghost.

"Then follow me!"

The second lady gave him a disgusted look, and walked towards the inn with firecrackers.

When he arrived at the inn, Firecracker first ordered the accompanying guards to beat the drunkard before throwing a few silver tickets to him.

Although the drunk was beaten, he also got the money, and seeing that the other party was so powerful, he didn't dare to speak up, so he covered his head and went back.

The second lady called Lihua to find a room for the child,

I found out that the child's name is Hu Liang, and his home is in Maocheng, dozens of miles away, and he was sold here a year ago.

"We happen to be passing through Maocheng tomorrow, why don't we send him to the Yamen then?"

Ruyu suggested.

As soon as Hu Liang heard the word yamen, his eyes immediately panicked, but he quickly calmed down.

"Sisters, you don't have to send me to the yamen, my uncle's house is set up at the gate of the city to sell tea."

"That's fine, and it saves us from going to the yamen to talk a lot....."

The second lady stood up with her clothes playing: "You rest early, and I'll send you back tomorrow." ”

"Thank you, Sister Fairy!" Hu Liang stood up.

"What do you call me?" The second lady turned around and was stunned.

"Naturally... Sister Fairy..."

"What a talking little doll."

The second lady smiled, and the three hundred taels of silver were not spent in vain.

Firecrackers looked at Mrs. in a good mood, and also made trouble for a while, although Hu Liang was still young,

But he was clever and cute, and soon mingled with a few maids.

He especially likes to stick to firecrackers, and always says that firecrackers look very kind.

The firecrackers only smeared honey on his mouth, and he didn't take it too seriously.

At night, I helped him wash everything and soothe him to sleep.

On the morning of the second day, they arrived in Maocheng and sent Hu Liang to his uncle's tea stall.

But when he saw Uncle Hu Liang find his long-lost nephew, he was just surprised, and he didn't look excited.

She didn't think much about it, but when the family affection between them was cold, and after saying goodbye to Hu Liang, everyone had lunch in Maocheng, and continued all the way south.

On the way to the mountain, the prime minister received an urgent call from the emperor, so he changed his route to rush back to China.

Unexpectedly, the mountain road was rugged and muddy, and the carriage of the second lady and the three eunuchs crashed into a boulder and broke down halfway.

Seeing this, the prime minister said that he had no time to delay, so he called three eunuchs to get into the carriage and take the first step.

Leaving a few subordinates to accompany his wife into the city, he led the large team away.

"The lord is really, really leaving the lady here by herself?"

Rika stared at the departing carriage and said indignantly.

"Well, let's rest for a while."

The second lady was not emotional.

"Han Wan!"

"The subordinates are here."

"You take two people into the city and find a carriage to come, we're waiting for you here."

"This, in the wilderness, I'm afraid it's not very safe."

"It's okay, aren't there still four people left?

Go quickly, for if you delay for a while, it will be getting dark......"

The second lady waved her hand, she didn't want to stay overnight in this place where birds don't.

"Yes, my subordinates will go immediately."

Han Wan hurried away with the two of them.

Only firecrackers were left, and Pear Blossom Ruyu and four guards guarded the second lady.

Here it is again, and for some reason, my heart begins to panic again.

Every time something big happens.

Firecracker sat by the carriage, his hands on his chest, praying that nothing would happen again.

But apparently, God did not hear her broken thoughts,

Seeing dozens of mountain bandits pouring out of the mountain, getting closer and closer,

Even the legs of several of the guards trembled.

"This! What should I do? Rika protected the second lady behind her.

"Don't act rashly, you can't run, you can't run, it's important to save your life first."

Firecrackers calmly looked around.

"I don't know what to do with the big brothers?"

She rushed to the front first, smiling at each other.

"Little girl, are you really blind or falsely blind, can't you see what we want to do?

Hahaha! ”

The bearded man who took the lead said obscenely.

"If you want money, we have it, and we can share it all with our brothers....."

"What if we didn't just want money?"

The bandits behind him came out of nowhere.

Hearing this, Ruyu Lihua and the second lady retreated in fright.

"Big brother, the so-called life must not be too greedy, money and appearance can only be one choice."

"Whew! Lao Tzu still uses you to teach? Lao Tzu has been a mountain bandit for decades, and I haven't seen anything before!

Even if you don't take color today, you won't be able to stay! Let you go? Are you still waiting for you to go into the city to report to the officials? ”

"This big brother, how do you know that we will definitely report to the official after we enter the city? We were just in a hurry and didn't want to delay the trip,

You don't have to cause trouble, why don't you make friends with you? How about it?

Firecrackers secretly looked at the mountain bandits in front of him.

"Making friends? Okay, why don't you go back with us, and we can get in touch with each other? ”

The mountain bandit smiled and waved his hand, and more than a dozen mountain bandits rushed over behind him.

It's been a long time since I've seen a handsome girl, and it's a pity if these little girls are put in vain.
