Chapter 133: Shocking Changes
Finally, on the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, she rushed to the long street where the house was located, and saw from a distance that the front of the door of her house was full of red sarong lanterns, and the taste of the year was very full, and the bamboo felt very kind, she stood far away outside the door, waiting for the night to come, and was ready to sneak in to take a sneak peek at the sisters, that is, she felt satisfied.
There was a thatched hut built outside the gate of the mansion for some reason, which was extremely abrupt, and the bamboo glanced away after a few glances, believing that the eldest sister had her own reason.
When night fell, the door of the house was wide open, and many families poured out of it, the second sister of the family hugged the eldest sister of the family, under the lantern, the two sisters were anxious, and they were telling what to order, Zhu frowned, and felt that something bad had happened.
Bamboo almost rushed forward to ask her sisters what was going on. She clenched her fists, forced herself to hold back, her brain was running fast, what should she do, yes, go and ask Yang Mu, he is so well-informed, he must know!
Zhu turned around, slightly stunned, at the corner of the street, a long figure was pulled out under the swaying lights, Yang Mu was dressed in white, looking at her with a solemn face, and Zhu's heart sank rapidly.
She took a few quick steps, approached Yangmu, and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" ”
Yang Mu's face was full of gloom, and he said in a deep voice: "Miss Seven has been missing since yesterday. ”
Zhu covered his chest, took a step back, and looked at Yang Mu with a glimmer of hope: "Who did it?" ”
Yang Mu paused word by word, and it was unusually clear that it came to the bamboo ear: "The master of Linjiang Pavilion, Lu Zai'an." ”
The scar-faced child and the hunchbacked woman suddenly appeared in front of the bamboo eyes, it was the seventh sister! It's him!
"Young master, the meal was returned by the young lady again." The big man dressed in sackcloth replied respectfully, looking at his appearance, he was the man who thought the black-faced young man was in the way.
Lu Zaian was silent for a long time, strode out, this is an ordinary villager's house, only two earthen houses and a small courtyard, there are more than a dozen big men standing in the courtyard, all of them are a head taller than ordinary people, majestic, few people talk, from time to time there is a cold wind rolling up and down and hitting them, but it seems to hit a wall.
Seeing Lu Zai'an come out, the big men lowered their heads in unison, Lu Zai'an nodded, and then walked to the next room, knocked twice, knowing that he would not get a response, he pushed the door straight in.
The girl in front of her shrunk in the corner of the bed, although she was dressed in men's clothes, she could not hide her natural beauty, and her angry appearance was still moving. ”
Xiaozhu turned around and said angrily, "I want to go home." ”
Lu Zai'an was extremely embarrassed, she had done so many things, didn't she see them all? These days, her family is lax, and she sneaks out to play from time to time, which time is not for him to be the queen of the palace, and he has gone out to find the delicious and fun to make her happy.
If it weren't for the urgency of the situation this time, he wouldn't have made such a decision, all he wanted was to want her to be by her side and see her smiling face from time to time.
Seeing that he was silent, Xiaozhu became even more angry: "You said that you pretended to be a poor child and teased those gentlemen, and said that you would be able to return in half a day, so I came out with you and sent me home quickly." ”
Lu Zaian asked suddenly, "If you never see me again, don't you care?" Do you insist on going home? ”
Xiaozhu raised his eyebrows, grabbed the cold meal on the table and threw it away, sprinkled Lu Zai'an's full body of soup, slowly trickled down his forehead, and flowed down the ends of his hair into his neck, but he didn't blink his eyes, stared at Xiaozhu tightly, and said with a sad face: "Is this your answer?" ”
Xiaozhu turned his head away and said sullenly: "I want to go home, I want to go home......"
There was a bang behind him, Lu Zai'an had already grabbed the door, Xiaozhu stood for a long time, got out of bed, and quietly opened a crack in the door to poke out, but saw Lu Zai'an actually quietly outside the door, bursting into tears, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, Lu Zaian wiped his tears with his sleeve indiscriminately, and said in a hoarse voice: "My father is critically ill, and it's too late to send you back now, when I go home to see my father, I'll send you home." ”
Lu Zai'an raised his head and looked at Xiaozhu, his eyes were full of pleading: "Can you eat something?" ”
Xiaozhu couldn't help but nodded, Lu Zai'an burst into tears, with a little joy on his face, and ordered loudly: "Come on, make some new meals for Miss." ”
After saying that, Lu Zaian reluctantly glanced at Xiaozhu again, and resolutely turned around.
Xiaozhu closed the door, leaned his back against the door, his heart was shocked, uncle, he actually cried. I've known each other for so long, he has been smiling in front of her, and he has a very good temper, although he knows that he is very young, he always deliberately calls him uncle, and he is not annoyed.
There are a lot of people who like themselves and their sisters, but even my father and sisters are often angry and lose their temper, only he, never said her, last time he overturned people's stalls, he took out the money to accompany him, and he spilled the vegetable soup all over his body, and he was not angry.
He said that his father was going to die, so he must be very sad, his father was sick and couldn't speak or move, he was very sad, his father was going to die, how sad should he be?
In the next day, Xiaozhu was silent, obediently followed them day and night, this team of more than a dozen big men from time to time someone left the team, and there were newcomers to join, all the way, when it came to the time of food and lodging, there were farmers or hunters, or a manor, two meals a day did not have a cold meal, and there was no day to live in the wild.
Beside a blazing bonfire in the wild, the three brothers of the Zhu and Yang families sat around the bonfire, one holding a sharpened branch in his hand, on which bacon was skewered, but on top was a steamed bun, stretched out on top of the bonfire and roasted.
Seeing that the steamed bun was roasted and browned, exuding a puff pastry fragrance, Bamboo took a deep breath, took the bun, poured it between his hands, sighed, took a bite, but it was still hot, his mouth was wide open, and he fanned it again and again with his hands.
Yang Mu on the side padd his hand with a handkerchief, took off the steamed bun, and said mockingly: "You deserve it, it makes you anxious." ”
Yang Hua and Yang Guang handed the water bladder to the bamboo at the same time, the bamboo mouth was very hot, and they didn't pay attention, reached out and took the water bladder in Yang Guang's hand, poured it hard, but spit it out immediately, and a mouthful of liquor was sprayed on the bonfire, and the flames were raised at a height of the sky, just a gust of wind blew, and all of them were biased to the side of the poplar.
Yang Mu touched his face, his hands were pitch black, and he looked at Zhu gloomily, Zhu looked left and right, coughed, and said: "After chasing for many days, there are always some clues that are broken, this Lu Zai'an is well-informed, and it seems to be better than us." ”
After saying this, Zhu became full of confidence, and looked at Yang Mu provocatively, "I thought that the eldest brother was so powerful, but everything fell behind." ”
Yang Mu has loved cleanliness all his life, and he can't stand the slightest dirt on his clothes, not to mention that Zhu directly doubted his specialty, he kept his face calm and didn't say a word, and he hated Lu Zaian to the bone.
It's really no wonder that the boss of the Yang family, the family has always been committed to monitoring large households in various places, those self-sufficient small farmers, how many people will come to buy cloth? How many people will come to tailor? Lu Zai'an's nails are all farmers and hunters, plus some street vendors and merchants.
Even so, Yang Mu was able to find some clues, starting with those street vendors and merchants, and grabbed a lot of clues, but Lu Zai'an was as cunning as a fox, and he was a step late every time, and now he was even more careful, he only used the nail as a farmer hunter, and all the others were abandoned, but the chaser had lost his news for three days.
Lu Zai'an has dug up a lot of nails these days, and learned from them that the seventh sister was treated politely, and Zhu was a little relieved, so he could tease the boss of the Yang family so idly today, not to mention that she had already written a letter asking for help, and I believe there will be a response soon.
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xu is afraid of Xiaozhu thinking of relatives, the clouds in the sky cleverly hide the full moon, but it is a rare cloudy day.
Lu Zai'an's entourage cooked a pot of rice balls, and Lu Zai'an personally brought a bowl to Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu was still expressionless, but his movements were much slower, he took it, scooped it spoon by spoon and ate it, Lu Zai'an saw it in his eyes, his heart was happy, and he said cautiously: "The diet is rough these days, and I have wronged you." ”
Xiaozhu's mouth was stuffed with rice balls, remembering the more than a dozen kinds of fillings she ate when she was at home last year, compared to the taste of this farmer's homemade rice balls and chewing wax, but it was better than hot, and she was warm in her stomach when she ate it, she knew that this was not what it used to be, and it was more important than anything else, and she vaguely understood the hard work of her sister in the past who wanted her to be a beggar.
She thought of the third sister, she has always said that she is sick, but she does not let people see her, when she mentions the third sister, the fourth sister and the fifth sister secretly weep, the eldest sister and the second sister are very angry, she and her sister secretly guessed together, the third sister, it may not be good, but she didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't dare to ask the sisters for verification.
If the third sister is still there, she will never be wronged like this, and the sisters don't know what the urgency has become, now that the house is not as good as before, I don't know if they will come to look for her, Xiaozhu thought, tears rolled down the bowl, but she ate more fiercely.
Lu Zai'an on the side saw it, his heart was sad, and he said sadly: "It's me who is not good, when I get home, I will definitely want you to have a good meal." ”
As soon as she mentioned home, Xiaozhu's tears were even more fierce, she simply put down the bowl and cried bitterly: "I want to go home~"
Lu Zaian snorted, wanting to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start, and there was a hurried knock outside the door: "Young master, young master, there are emergency fireworks at the outpost, and the enemy is less than twenty miles away." ”
Lu Zai'an was startled, he immediately stood up, his face was serious, and he asked calmly, "Is it the eldest brother's person?" ”
The big man outside shouted: "It shouldn't be, the big few people are still on the way." ”
Lu Zai'an glanced at Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu saw him so serious for the first time, but he showed a bit of manliness, remembering that those big men had been very respectful to him in the past few days, Xiaozhu understood a little in his heart, Lu Zai'an was by no means an ordinary rich brother.
