The night sky was dark and it was raining lightly.

The drizzle was originally the most beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, but now it makes some people panic.

There are almost no pedestrians on the road.

The shopkeeper gathered his clothes, looked up at the sky, and quietly turned into an extraordinarily narrow alley. On this kind of night when there are no pedestrians, you have to find that there are people following behind you, but the alleys of Jiangnan Road are the most complicated, and it is easy for him to get rid of a foreigner who comes here for the first time.

He turned around again, and made sure that there was no one behind him, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the nearest alley, turned left, and knocked on the small door at hand.

The two small doors were quite short, not much taller than the boy's.

Xiao Er knocked three times, the door opened from the inside, poked out a head, looked left and right, made sure that there was no one else outside the door, and then welcomed Xiao Er in. The little guy who led the way walked very fast and didn't speak, and Xiao Er also walked with his head down, definitely not looking left and right.

All the way into a courtyard, the courtyard is very large, the courtyard has its own small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond are blooming brightly, and the flowers in the courtyard are also blooming in the moonlight, and they seem to be not affected by this flood.

There was an old man sitting in the big golden silk nanmu chair by the lotus pond, who looked like he was feeding the fish, and when he heard the voice, he turned to look, and his brows were already frowning before he could speak, "Why did you come here?" ”

The little guy who led the way bowed his head and retreated.

Xiao Er stepped forward quickly with small steps, bowed his head from beginning to end, and arched his hand, "Old master." The head of the house is gone, and the little one has the courage to come to see you...... Today there are two men and one woman in the inn, the man should be the guard, the woman seems to be the master, she said to visit relatives in Honghu County, the shopkeeper asked, but the other party said that the relatives are from the Lu Mansion, surnamed Sun ......"

There are a lot of people in the Lu Mansion, and they have all kinds of surnames, but there is no one with the surname Sun. These "eyes" have long been familiar with them, and they only made a temptation at that time, and sure enough, the other party Gu Zuo said that he was vague.

Xiao Er explained the scene at that time in detail, and said, "I have inquired a little, the woman should be from the imperial capital, but the two guards ...... It doesn't seem to be very powerful. "After all, stalking people and the ground is so blatant, it's really not powerful.

A small bowl of blue and white porcelain in his hand contains half a bowl of fish food. The old master of the Lu family carefully rubbed the bowl and did not speak, but the old slave holding the umbrella behind him paused, "Master...... If you come from the imperial capital, will it be ......?"

I want to say it and stop talking.

But the old man understood-from the imperial capital, could it be the eldest lady.

If it's really Huanhuan's girl, why didn't she come to the house, but found a Raushzi inn, and asked an unknown grandson's relatives? The old man was silent and did not speak, and after a while, he asked, "What does that girl look like?" ”

"Just ......" Xiao Er recalled for a long time, and he couldn't describe it, and finally he was helpless, "Just ...... Two eyes, one nose, one mouth......"

Grabbing the hand of the fish food, the old slave behind him had already scolded, "What a Rausch thing, who doesn't have two eyes, a nose and a mouth, look at you as if you have an extra mouth!" ”

"No...... No! The shopkeeper knelt down, his voice was high, and he said loudly, "Old master, it's really not, it's really not a little fool of you, that woman's appearance is really ordinary, her appearance is not good, and you know that the small one is uneducated, just, you can't describe it!" ”

"Then draw it!" The old servant's voice was also high, "Someone is coming, ......"

The old man waved his hand, "Stand down." Looking at them tonight, don't startle the snake, I'll go and meet them myself tomorrow......"

Xiao Er ran away as if he had been amnesty, and ran away with his hands and feet and got up.

The old slave was still a little indignant, "Master, look at what you are talking about...... The head of the house is too good to talk, and they are careless on weekdays, but now they describe it so perfunctory, you should let him draw it......"

The old man seemed a little tired, put aside the food bowl in his hand, pinched his eyebrows, and sighed lightly, "No need...... If it was really her, when did she get along with 'her unsightly'? ”

Even if there is no culture, the sentence "the country and the city" should always be said, no matter how bad it is, "the birth is excellent" can always be said...... In short, there will be no features at all in any case, only "two eyes, one nose, and one mouth" remain.

As everyone knows, sometimes, the lack of features is the biggest anomaly. The old man's eyes deepened, looking at the fish competing for food under the lotus leaves, pursing his lips and being silent.

The sound of footsteps behind him came, small and eager, and before the person arrived, the voice arrived, "Is it Huanhuan?" Old man, is Huanhuan coming? ”

The old woman in the silver-gray robe walked in a hurry, her silver hair was loosely held by only a wooden hairpin, her face was ruddy, and her crane hair and childish face were well maintained at a glance. The grandmother who was still trotting behind her was also out of breath, and the old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You slow down......"

The other party was anxious, "It's really Huanhuan?" Where is she? ”

"I don't know if it's yet, I'll take a look tomorrow." The old man half-got up to hug her, "Even if it is, now that she hides her identity and doesn't recognize us, she has her own things to do, and we can't harm her." ”

But in an instant, he had already thought about it.

If it is Huan Yatou, there must be something very important, and she should always cooperate with her on her side, if not...... Those who infiltrated Honghu County at this point in time under the name of the Lu family, I was afraid that they had bad intentions, so they were directly detained and tortured after the flood was over and the situation calmed down.

The old lady was anxious, and she couldn't think about it so thoroughly, "At this juncture, how dangerous we are, what can that girl do, and hide it from us...... I heard that I only brought two guards, but it is still unreliable, in case of trouble...... No, no, we have to bring her here, I don't want her to be out there alone...... I'll pick her up tomorrow! ”

"Old woman......" Master Lu sighed, "Think about it, what kind of character is that girl, she has always had her own opinions, if you rashly recognize her bad calculations, then she will really annoy us, and she will not get along with each other for a long time, what should I do?" ”

The old woman was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and didn't dare to say anything more about picking up people, but insisted, "Then you have to send her a few reliable secret guards, now Honghu County is really not a safe place, this natural and man-made disaster, if something goes wrong, how can it be good?" ”

"Good...... Got it. The old man clapped her hand and walked into the house with one in his arms, "It's late at night, let's rest...... Tomorrow's business, tomorrow's talk. ”
