Chapter 64: The Return
At night, in the small courtyard of Dongzhang.
Moved out of the big table in the back room, and on the table sat an old gentleman in 'full costume', Tian Zhen, a female dart master in a strong suit, and three cooks.
The two sisters, Lu Qing and Lu Yao, sat next to Dongzhang on the left and right, looking at the table full of wine and food, Xiao Lu Yao's big eyes stared unblinking, eager to pierce it.
The little hand clutched the chopsticks tightly and didn't move, for no other reason, just because Dongzhang on the main seat hadn't moved the chopsticks yet.
Seeing everyone sitting down, Dongzhang poured wine on the wine glass in front of the three of them, and said with a smile:
"You have to appreciate your face, during Dong's absence, the two younger sisters in the family have relied on your care, and Dong has thanked you in advance."
After speaking, without waiting for everyone to react, they had already drunk all the wine in the cup, and then continued to fill themselves up, and said with a smile:
"Let's stop gossiping, let's drink this cup together, and then everyone moves the chopsticks."
As soon as these words came out, everyone let out a kind laugh, and Xiao Lu Yao's eyes were about to shine.
Then accompanied by Xiao Lu Yao's amusement, there was naturally constant laughter on the table, and in the end, it was naturally all the guests.
After being full of wine and food, Dongzhang sent the visitors to the door one by one.
"Dong Gongzi, what are you going to be..."
After sending the two away, the last female dart master was a little curious.
Raising his eyes and glancing at the somewhat nervous female dart master Tian Zhen, Dongzhang touched his chin and said with a chuckle:
"Then it's going home."
Although Dongzhang was very polite, Tian Zhen was inexplicably a little afraid of this harmless young man with a smiling face, maybe it was due to a preconceived impression, and Tian Zhen herself couldn't understand.
With just one look, Tian Zhen didn't have the courage to ask any more, so he also gave his hand and left, and Dongzhang naturally returned the salute politely.
It's night, inside the house.
"Brother, are we leaving?"
Seeing that Xiao Lu Yao, who had dismissed everyone, asked Dongzhang curiously.
Holding his chin and looking at Dongzhang outside the door boringly, he said indifferently: "Hmm." ”
Dongzhang, who thought that this little kid would ask something, suddenly saw this little girl and giggled.
I couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What are you happy about?" ”
Who knew that Xiao Lu Yao actually asked: "Shouldn't you be happy to be with your brother again?" ”
“....”
Ignoring this big-hearted girl, Dongzhang continued to be in a daze.
Naturally, I didn't see Lu Qing on the side, and his eyes lit up slightly.
The next day, Dongzhang hired a small carriage early, negotiated the price with the coachman, bought some food passing by and stuffed it into the car, and then accompanied by Xiao Lu Yao's excited laughter, the four of them embarked on the journey home.
When passing through a village and town, Dongzhang took the two sisters out of the car to buy.
The lively and active little Lu Yao and the well-behaved and quiet Lu Qing instantly attracted many eyes on the street, and the window on the second floor of a restaurant.
A group of Mongolian soldiers who were drinking and having fun swept their eyes and saw the young and beautiful Lu Qing sisters walking on the street, and their eyes lit up instantly.
PS: The golden soldiers in front have all been changed to Mongolian soldiers, and the author's timeline is confused, apologies.
"Brothers, guess what I saw."
A tall Mongol soldier smiled and said to the rest of the table.
Seeing that the person who was talking couldn't help but glance out of the window, everyone at the same table crowded to the window and swept their eyes down, and when they saw Lu Qing walking on the street, their eyes lit up.
They all shouted and coaxed in front of the window, and all kinds of frivolous whistles emerged one after another.
At this time, Lu Qing, who was quietly following behind his sister, naturally found a group of strange Mongolian soldiers upstairs, and leaned towards Dongzhang behind him in fear.
Even Xiao Lu Yao, who was very lively at the beginning, noticed that something was wrong, and suddenly became quiet, quietly walked to Dongzhang's side, and took Dongzhang's hand in fear.
patting Xiao Lu Yao's head, Dongzhang said calmly: "Brother is here, what are you afraid of, stubborn." ”
Then he turned his head to look at the Mongolian soldiers behind the window on the second floor, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Then he didn't say anything, and continued to take his two sisters to walk the streets and alleys to buy goods, and when he saw Dongzhang, who was fine, the two sisters also settled down a lot, but they didn't dare to let go of themselves at will, and they all followed Dongzhang quietly.
Even Xiao Lu Yao gently shook Dongzhang's hand, and said with a pleading face: "Brother, let's go quickly." ”
Even Lu Qing on the side nodded.
Touching Xiao Lu Yao's head, Dongzhang asked softly: "Didn't you want to buy baked cakes, but you haven't bought them yet." ”
Xiao Lu Yao shook his little head violently, and said urgently: "Yaoyao doesn't want to eat now, brother, let's go back, okay." ”
Seeing the two younger sisters who were so anxious, Dongzhang naturally knew why they were so anxious, it must have been the scene just now that reminded them of some bad past and rekindled their fears.
Seeing that the two younger sisters were urging them to go back, Dongzhang naturally did not refute, but on that calm face, his eyes became more and more cold.
The second floor of the hotel.
"Have you seen it, brothers, that kid still dares to look at us directly, which makes Lao Tzu look very uncomfortable, do you..."
One of the Mongol soldiers made a gesture of wiping his neck with a gloomy face, and the others echoed it.
The tall Mongolian soldier at the head also sneered and said, "Don't worry, when they get out of the town, it's not up to you to decide what you want?" That kid will be left to you, as for these two little ones, hehehehehe..."
Everyone also laughed tacitly, and then left with knives in hand.
After leaving the town and returning to the carriage, Lu Qing and Xiao Lu Yao all breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Qing was even more afraid of pressing his hand on his chest, and Xiao Lu Yao was also so frightened that his face turned pale, which showed that both of them were pretending to be calm when they were in the town just now.
Silently watching the sneaky little movements of the two sisters, Dongzhang's expression became more and more calm.
He said to the two sisters, "If you are tired, you can sleep, and I will go to the front of the car to breathe." ”
"Brother.."
Seeing Dongzhang walk out of the carriage, Lu Qing wanted to say something, but was silenced by Dongzhang's signal, and finally had to watch Dongzhang walk out of the carriage worriedly.
When he came to the front of the carriage, Dongzhang took out a few taels of silver and said to the coachman driving the carriage: "Don't look back if you see anything later, just carry the car and go forward, you know, wait for me at the inn in the next town, and I will arrive later." ”
In the stunned expression on the coachman's face, Dongzhang's face was terrifyingly calm: "Do you understand what I said?" ”
"Small, the little one knows, please rest assured, the little one will be sent to the inn safely for the two young ladies."
Facing Dongzhang, who was full of evil spirits, the coachman was so frightened that he said.
"Good."
After speaking, Dongzhang jumped into the carriage lightly, and quietly watched the many iron horses that were gradually galloping in the distance.
Looking at the dust and dust raised behind him, Dongzhang's eyes narrowed slightly...
