Chapter 2: The Mysterious Man

"Dou Zhihuan moved his hands and feet in the prescription." Wen Yukou would not bother to hide Hua Yue: "There is no poison, but it is more terrifying than poison."

"Miss, you said Mrs. Dou?" Speaking of Mrs. Dou, Hua Yue's eyes also changed, but they became softer: "Mama Gui always said that she didn't have a good heart, but she treated us very well." She gave us a lot of good things, gold, silver and jade, famous paintbrushes and inkstones, winter clothes and summer skirts, and even the female master you invited is also the best. The young master made a mistake, you didn't dare to plead, or did she desperately beg the master to save the young master. Kindness and kindness, beautiful moon brilliance, like a bodhisattva ......"

Hua Yue praised the Dou family endlessly, but Wen Yukou lamented in her heart, Hua Yue, Hua Yue, do you know that it was the Bodhisattva-like Mrs. Dou in your mouth who took your life? When you are eaten by ants, she sits behind the curtain and sipps tea peacefully.

But it can also be seen that even Hua Yue, who grew up under her mother's knees, was deceived by the Dou family, not to mention others.

Wen Yukou would not force Hua Yue to believe in herself, she had more important things to do.

Before half a snack was finished, Mama Gui returned. The old lady went to incense, and she went with her as an old lady. She has been very panicked today, and she can't worry about the eldest lady, so she came back early, and as soon as she entered the door, she was stunned.

Wen Yukou was sitting under the window, her slender and thin body wrapped in a gorgeous robe, her white and tender hands pinching half a plum blossom cake, the afternoon sun passed through the window screen, mottled and fell, she raised her hand to cover it, and her little finger was as transparent as jade.

Mama Gui has a high nose and deep eyes, she was also a beauty in the desert when she was young, and now that she is old, she can vaguely see what she looked like back then. She rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen something wrong.

"Mama Gui, are you back?" The young lady tilted her head and smiled coquettishly to show the shallow dimples on the sides of her cheeks.

"Miss, you, are you awake...... Mama Gui's tears are more than Hua Yue's, she hugged Wen Yukou and cried into tears, and the mama who has always been tough and strong cried like a child, and Wen Yukou was also very sad in her heart. Hua Yue watched from the side, and couldn't help but feel sad, hiding aside and secretly wiping her tears.

The girls outside heard it, crowded at the courtyard gate, and chattered.

Wen Yukou looked at it coldly and didn't say a word.

Mama Gui also saw that the girls in the courtyard were so unruly, the master was sitting in the house, and they dared to come and see the excitement casually! She immediately regrouped and stood outside the room and scolded them away.

Hua Yue brought hot water, first served Miss to wash her hands, smeared with balm, and then washed her face with Mama Gui.

"Mama, are my mother and little brother okay?" The three of them sat down again, and Wen Yukou asked.

A trace of guilt flashed on Mama Gui's face, and she was about to kneel down immediately, but was stopped by Wen Yukou. "Madame, she is now lying in the ice room, and I have only seen it once in a month with this old bone and seniority. Since the young master knelt in the snow, his legs hurt unbearably every night, and he was still so young...... I am ashamed of my wife's trust, and I really deserve to die for my sin! ”

"Mama!" Wen Yukou suddenly interrupted her, her voice was so cold that there was no trace of warmth: "You and Hua Yue, remember, in the future, you are not allowed to say such things as apologizing with death." We all live well, no one is allowed to die, only living is the most important thing. Now I want to save my mother and my younger brother, and I will return ten times the suffering they have tasted to those who hurt them! If you help, if you don't help, you must take good care of yourself, and don't be harmed. ”

"Miss, do you also know that they were framed?" Mama Gui said happily.

"I know that I used to be confused." Wen Yukou's eyes are deep, and she is tough and cold that does not match her age: "Mama, if you resist Dou Zhihuan in the future, you will not fight alone."

Hua Yue hesitated, but Mama Gui was overjoyed and understood what Wen Yukou meant: "My young lady, you finally understand everything!" ”

"Huayue, I won't force you, with your kind nature, you can't stay in the mansion, you will leave the mansion in two years, don't delay." Wen Yukou continued.

Hua Yue heard "out of the house" and shook her head violently: "No, I'm not leaving, I'll accompany Miss!" I was raised by the eldest lady herself, and my kindness is greater than heaven, how can I selfishly leave you! If Mrs. Dou wants to harm you, I will be the first to stand in the way! ”

"You think clearly." Wen Yukou said lightly. Mama Gui on the side was anxious to say something, but she stopped her. Hua Yue's life, she will definitely save it, but save her once, you can't save her two or three times, everything has to be figured out by Hua Yue herself.

"Yes!" Hua Yue was entangled for a long time, and then raised her head: "I swear to follow Miss to the death!" ”

After receiving the assurances of Hua Yue and Mama Gui, Wen Yukou rested for a while and offered to count the things in the small warehouse. Mother's dowry is not included in the Wenfu treasury, she is the princess of the desert wolf king, and the things to marry are naturally many and precious. But after so many years, there are not many valuable things left, but fortunately, there are still a thousand taels of snowflake silver and a few house deeds, Wen Yukou held them in her arms, like holding a lost treasure, and put them aside for a while.

"Mama, you took the time to pawn these jade treasures and exchange them for silver tickets from Wanyu Qianzhuang, be careful not to let people see them." Wen Yukou pointed to a few things, slid them one by one, and then picked up two ingots of snowflake silver and put them in the palm of Gui Mama's hand: "These are exchanged for broken silver, money hangers, I will give you a list later, and buy it back according to what is written on it." ”

Mama Gui hurriedly agreed, and suddenly there was a neighing and frolicking sound outside, listening to the noisy chaos, Wen Yukou frowned, Hua Yue hurriedly opened the courtyard door, and saw the little maid leading a few horses to stand by the stream drinking water from a distance, making loud noises and making noise.

"Recently, there has been a lot of construction in the prefecture, and a canal has been dug near Ningbiyuan Temple, which is connected to the big lake, and it has become a living water source. When the horses were tired of transporting things, the little men would lead the horses here to drink, regardless of who lived there. I mentioned it to Mrs. Dou many times, but she said that she couldn't control it, and let these things disturb our purity in vain. The more Mama Gui spoke, the more angry she became, and she walked over and scolded angrily, telling those little guys to go quickly.

The little ones smiled and said, "Since the waterway has been opened from here, you can naturally drink horses here, so why should Mama embarrass us little ones." And we don't come every day, Mrs. Dou and the eldest lady didn't speak, and Mama was so nagging, so much. ”

Mama Gui scolded: "Little pimpy monkeys, don't you look at what kind of place this is, don't talk about it usually, you are getting more and more face-......" Wen Yukou asked Hua Yue to call Mama Gui back, lowered her head and added a few strokes to the list, and a few cold smiles appeared in her eyes: "Mama, needless to say, help me buy the things on the list, don't pay attention to those people." ”

Only then did Mama Gui swallow her anger and buy the things back. Wen Yukou checked them one by one, and on the second day, she quietly walked to the water source with the two of them, and saw that the waterway was narrow, the water flow was slow, and it looked useless, so she turned back and forth a few times and made a mark: "Block this and here." ”

After the plugging, the water gradually became turbid, and Hua Yue said suspiciously: "Miss, if you block these two places, the water will not flow, what are you going to do?" ”

"Doing fun things, of course. This waterway is too narrow and useless to exist, and if they ask, you will say that the wind blows at night, and the wind blows the mud and blocks the waterway, and the rest is left alone. ”

After driving the two away, Wen Yukou took out a small paper bag, poured all the powder inside, and put the paper into his sleeve. The white powder soon melted into the long, narrow channel and disappeared, leaving only murky yellow water. She looked at it intently, and only after making sure it melted did she breathe a sigh of relief.

There was silence all around, and Wen Yukou was carefully removing the muddy stains on her hands when she suddenly heard a chuckle.

The laughter was indistinct, but it was real, and it sounded like thunder in the ears. Wen Yukou raised her head vigilantly, but she didn't find anyone, but she saw the little guy leading the horse towards here yesterday, she immediately hid behind a tree, and secretly said that she had miscalculated the time, and those people came in advance.

Wen Yukou had to lift the corner of her skirt because her skirt was too bright and elegant, holding her breath and concentrating. Those people got closer and closer, Wen Yukou was a little anxious, and suddenly only heard the branches swaying gently, her clothes fluttering, her waist was hugged, her body was light, she quickly flew up, and landed in a hidden place on the tree.

Wen Yukou was shocked, she didn't have time to turn back, she took out the dagger in her sleeve and stabbed it, but her wrist was tightly held by the person behind her, warm and domineering, and then a hot breath spit out on the earlobe, and her voice was gloomy: "If you don't want to be discovered, just be obedient, huh?" ”

He had an extremely faint smell of ambergris on his body, and his hands were strong enough to break a person's arm, and he locked Wen Yukou mercilessly, not allowing her to resist.

Wen Yukou was still holding the dagger, twisting her thin eyebrows, annoyed. Who is this man? Why are you hiding in a tree? What is the purpose of his hiding for so long? But she couldn't make a sound, because then the little ones were under the tree and wondered, "Why is the water muddy?" It's a strange thing, I don't know if the horses drink it or not. ”

"If you don't drink it, you have to drink it, does this beast still learn the style of those delicate masters, and only think about the clear water? In fact, if it weren't for Mama Jin's instructions, I wouldn't have been too lazy to pull the horse so far, which was time-consuming and laborious. ”

"Agui, if you say this now, why don't you say it when you collect the gold and silver? She must have been at odds with the people of Ning Bi Courtyard and came up with this way to torture people. ”

"You know what!" Ah Gui snorted coldly, "Does Mama Jin dare to fight with her master, it must be the one behind her...... You've only been so stupid after staying with horses for a long time! ”

Soon after, their voices faded away, and Wen Yukou struggled for a moment, turned her head sideways and said angrily, "Who are you?" Put me down! ”

"Heh, I'm very young, and I have a big temper." His voice actually changed, and it became a very hearty young voice: "If you want to know who I am, tell me who you are first, what are you doing." When I'm in a good mood, I'll let you go. ”

"You!"

"Also, if your answer doesn't satisfy me, then I'll break your leg, believe it or not?" This time it was a soft and cold voice, and he actually changed his voice, did he deliberately hide his original voice, so as not to recognize her in the future?

Wen Yukou hated being threatened the most, and her mind turned, and then her hand was slowly lowered, and her tone was aggrieved: "What kind of hero is bullying a child, you strangle me so tightly, I'm almost out of breath, how can I tell you the answer?" ”

The man hesitated for a moment, then relented, but remained in a position where the two of them would not face each other. Wen Yukou realized his weakness, and turned her head sharply, making a gesture to look at him. The man snorted coldly, nodded on her shoulder, and pushed it violently, only to hear the sound of "stabbing", the sleeves of the brocade robe were torn by the branches, and the wind blew up, and Wen Yukou fell like a free bird.

The man was surprised to say "Huh", a hand stretched out slightly, as if to fly down to save her, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Wen Yukou sticking a dagger into the trunk of the tree, bumping all the way, the brocade robe was wide and blowing, although it landed quickly, but there was the resistance of the dagger and the brocade robe, and she was not injured when she fell to the ground.

Wen Yukou gasped and quickly stood up, the dagger fell at his feet, the blade was already broken, and he could see the thrill and danger of Fang Cai. With bruises all over her body, she neatly took off the brocade robe on her body, raised a pair of clear and quiet eyes to look at Lu, and said in a tough and uninhibited tone: "Are you satisfied now?" ”

"What a naughty little girl, interesting!" I saw that the man snorted condescendingly, his figure flashed, and quickly disappeared in front of him, and he still couldn't see his appearance through the clumps of branches and leaves.

But the faint smell of ambergris still lingered in her nose, mixing with her breath and blending into her memory little by little.

"Miss, miss, what's wrong with you?" Hua Yue hurriedly came from the scene and was taken aback when she saw Wen Yukou's appearance.

"It's fine, it's just that I climbed a tree and fell."

"You really are still a child, what kind of tree do you climb...... Oh my God, it's bleeding, go back and bandage it! ”

Wen Yukou followed Hua Yue back, took two steps, and looked back at the place where the person had disappeared, still secretly frightened. Who is it?
