Chapter 209: Little River Castle (Medium)
The big man in black stepped on the bluestone road, took a wide and powerful step, and walked straight towards the middle-aged man. The footsteps were heavy and powerful, tom, tom, tom.
When the middle-aged man approached, the big man in black raised his fists, bowed down and saluted, "Butler Niu, I have caught it for you!" However, immediately afterwards, he whispered in the ear of the butler Niu, telling him to catch one more man.
The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly, but he didn't care, stretched out his right hand, stuck three long strands of long beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "Well, it's good! The castle lord really didn't see the wrong person: you are useful!"
He put a bag of silver in the hand of the man in black and arranged, "Take the brothers to eat first, and then sleep well." In the afternoon, the castle lord will personally give you a banquet to wash the wind and dust for you!"
The middle-aged man turned around, arched his hand towards the group of people, and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, have worked hard, let's go eat and rest for the time being!"
Everyone replied in unison, "There is a question from the great steward of Lao!" The other three who rode their horses dismounted and stood on the side of the horses when the leader dismounted.
The man in black led the group away, but actually turned into another narrow street to the east. After the business trip, everyone relaxed.
Some of the people who were comfortable laughed and said: "Hurry up, this time you have to have a good drink, don't get drunk and don't go home!"
Others chimed in: "That's it...... It's ......"
Talking and laughing and giggling away, the laughter became more and more faint, the figure became more and more blurred, and soon disappeared.
Here, someone had already gotten into the carriage, caught up with the cart, and drove into the two large wooden doors.
The carriage came to a halt in front of the door of a room. Two young and beautiful maids came out of the house, standing on one side, waiting for the call.
The middle-aged man, who was the cow butler, glanced at them, and the two maids walked to the carriage. One lifted the cotton curtain behind him and said softly: "Miss Zhang, please get out of the car!"
As she spoke, the other one had already stepped into the car, helped Zhang Zhuzi to do it, helped her get out of the car, and stood on the ground.
Then, a man also stepped into the carriage, intending to help Liu Sijian.
Liu Sijian struggled to get up, although his upper body was tied up with five flowers and he couldn't move, but his legs and feet could be forced.
So, almost without help, Liu Sijian followed and went down to the ground.
Butler Niu stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted Zhang Zhuzi, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhang, don't panic, when you get here, it's like returning home, don't see outside!"
Then he asked, "Miss Zhang, do you still recognize me?"
Zhang Zhuzi opened his eyes, looked and looked, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said, "What kind of cow butler are you from Qiujiabao?"
Steward Niu nodded and smiled: "Exactly, exactly! Last time, my castle lord and your brother were talking outside the Sanssouci Forest, and I was there. Miss Zhang also gave me a glass of water to drink, and Niu will not forget the hospitality!"
Zhang Zhuzi said: "Oh, you really won't forget?"
The cow steward said: "This nature, the grace of dripping water, should be reciprocated by the spring!"
Zhang Zhuzi smiled, then suddenly suppressed his smile and said, "Since this is the case, then ask the cow steward to untie the rope on my body and let me go home!"
Steward Niu didn't expect her to make such a request, and the hypocritical smile on her face suddenly disappeared.
But he pretended to be helpless, and said, "This ...... This will not work, our castle will see the girl, and I hope the girl will be impatient: our castle lord will be here soon!"
Without waiting for Zhang Zhuzi to speak, Butler Niu instructed the two maids, "Why don't you take Miss Zhang into the house to rest?"
The two maids came up, and without saying anything, they set up Zhang Zhuzi in a dim and unknown room.
After entering the door, I heard that there was a sudden darkness behind me, as if I was in the middle of the night. There was a snapping sound, and it came clearly and unequivocally, and the door was closed.
Sure enough, there was a sound of locking in the place where I had come in earlier.
Zhang Zhuzi was shocked in his heart, and suddenly turned around, it was too late. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she shouted at the two maids beside her, "What are you doing here?"
One of the two maids lit a candle in the dark, and the room was suddenly bright.
Then, the two maids knelt down in front of Zhang Zhuzi together and begged: "Please also ask Miss Zhang to spare her life! We are just girls, sent by others, and we can't help ourselves!"
After speaking, kowtowed.
Zhang Zhuzi couldn't bear it and shouted, "Okay! Get up quickly, you don't have to do this!"
The two maids were also obedient, and said, "Thank you, girl!", and the people stood up and stood on their sides.
Zhang Zhuzi glanced at the two of them and asked, "What are you two doing?"
The two maids replied in unison, "We have been sent by the lord of the castle to serve the girl." If there is a send, the girl will open her mouth. ”
"Oh?" Zhang Zhuzi smiled and said, "Sure enough, you'll listen to this girl?"
The two maids saluted again and whispered: "If the girl has something, just give orders!"
Zhang Zhuzi called out "Okay!", and continued, "Open the door and let this girl out!"
The two maids shook their heads and said, "Girl, this door is locked from the outside, and we can't open it!"
Zhang Zhuzi's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he thought to himself, "This is to imprison me here!"
She became irritable, sat down on a red lacquered chair, and asked, "Then what else can you two do?"
A maid looked at her boldly, plucked up the courage and said, "We can untie the girl!"
It was only at this time that Zhang Zhuzi realized that she was still tied with her arms and hands. Sighing, Zhang Zhuzi said impatiently: "Since that's the case, why don't you untie the rope quickly!"
The two maids agreed, approached, and with four hands, three times and five divided by two, the rope was untied from Zhang Zhuzi's arm.
Regaining his freedom, Zhang Zhuzishu began to pace back and forth on the ground with two painful jade arms.
Suddenly, she rushed to the door with an arrow step.
Zhang Zhuzi used two hands to pull the door, however, he didn't want to pull a minute. It turned out that this door was no longer a wooden door, but was made of pig iron, which was extremely heavy and strong.
However, Zhang Zhuzi did not give up, and when he returned inside, he saw a small window on the south wall, although it was small, but as long as it was opened, it was still possible to escape from there.
So, Zhang Zhuzi jumped up and jumped to the small window.
grabbed the window brace with one hand and pushed it with the other, however, the whole heart fell into the abyss with this push, because Zhang Zhuzi found that even this small window was made of iron rods.
It is true that there is a gap, and it is not false that light and air are thrown in from that gap, but if the people inside want to push off the iron rod and come out, it is better to save their energy as soon as possible, there is no possibility at all!
Zhang Zhuzi had no choice but to jump out of the window, return inside, sit on the chair, and gasp for breath because of excessive anger.
