Chapter 267: Kung Pao Chicken (Something Wrong)
The outside of the courtyard was pitch black, and there were only a few lanterns inside, and the atmosphere was extremely eerie.
More than a dozen sergeants were divided into several squads, and the scattered three-entry houses were all guarded.
In addition to this, every once in a while, two sergeants patrol the circle.
Qiu Li recalled the location map of Ding's Mansion in her mind, if she remembered correctly, this mansion should be the residence of Lord Ding.
Akiri already felt Morimori's ghost aura across the wall.
She put on a "veil of water" and walked through the two gatekeepers.
The house in the first courtyard is where the guests are located, and the two sides are occupied by the subordinates, and the rooms in the second and third courtyards are the main house.
Stepping into the first courtyard gate, I saw several sergeants tied up in the hall from a distance, all of them in high spirits and with some injuries on their bodies.
It looks like there was a fight here before.
Then there are at least two hostile forces here.
Among the detained sergeants, Qiu Li saw an old acquaintance, who was the fierce sergeant who came to find Lord Ding in Junye County.
He was the most seriously wounded, his body was bandaged, his hands were tied to the pillar of the living room, his back was leaning against the pillar, his legs were extended, and his mouth was swearing, but his voice was weak.
There was only a lantern hanging from the wall in the hall, and Akiri looked away.
She walked through the first courtyard and came to the second courtyard, where there were obviously more guards.
Qiu Li looked at the four sergeants guarding the door, and the ghost aura on their bodies was even stronger than the two at the gate.
They were silent with each other, and no one spoke.
On the contrary, a few people who were locked in it probably woke up a long time ago and couldn't fall asleep anymore, one by one in the hall, around the dinner table, discussing something.
Qiu Li shook the body of the "Black Black Feather" and entered the east wing.
The beds in the wing room were scattered, and it seemed that the people who lived here didn't bother to fold the quilt, so they just let it become a mess.
There was a black hole in the room, and she walked straight to the light.
In the hall, Ding Baozhen and Sun, Xiaofu and Ji Suniang, sat on both sides of the dining table.
On the chair against the wall next to them, sat two personal maids who were dozing off.
It was Xiaofu who spoke, she covered her stomach listlessly and said, "Uncle, when will he let us out." ”
"This rebel!" Ding Baozhen's face was not good-looking, and the mother of the housekeeper on the side, Sun, did not answer, the only thing she was glad about was that her other two sons were not in Lujiang City at the moment, otherwise she was afraid that she would be served in a pot this time.
This concubine, she has never treated him harshly on weekdays, and she is not panicked.
She glanced at the dozing maid next to her, covered her mouth and yawned, then she stood up and said, "Master, let's go back to the room to rest, and when we have enough spirits, we will think about it in the long run." ”
Hearing this, the two maids quickly stood up, one supporting Sun and the other supporting Ding Baozhen.
Ding Baozhen turned his head to his granddaughter and ordered, "You can also go back to the house to rest." ”
"Well, I'll be back in a minute." Xiaofu replied.
Sun's bedroom was at the back of this hall, and after a while, he heard the sound of a palm lamp, and the light was faint and instantly extinguished.
At this moment, only Xiaofu and Ji Suniang were left in the hall.
Ji Suniang didn't speak, but her eyebrows and eyes were sad.
Xiaofu glanced at her and said: "Second sister is blessed with a great life, she must be fine, but it is us, we don't eat well, we don't sleep well, and in the middle of the night, we have to worry about these reckless men rushing in." ”
"It's been two days......" Ji Suniang said with a sigh.
Qiu Li was relieved to see that they were all safe and sound through a door.
She ruffled her hair, crumpled her clothes, then put away the "veil of water", opened the door, and walked to the hall.
Ji Suniang was startled when she saw her suddenly appear in front of her by the faint light, and was about to exclaim, but she was afraid that the sergeant outside would hear her, so she hurriedly covered her mouth, "brushed" the ground, and stood up.
Xiaofu turned her head and was stunned for a moment, her surprise was slowly bursting out.
"Second sister." She shouted at Akiri in a soft voice.
Ji Suniang took a few steps forward and grabbed Qiu Li's wrist, she glanced at Qiu Li's messy hair, and tears immediately flowed.
"You...... They ......" she couldn't ask.
"I hid, and when I saw that they were slack, I secretly came to look for you, and they didn't notice me." Qiu Li quickly explained.
Only then did Ji Suniang wipe away her tears and read softly: "Amitabha." ”
"I knew you were blessed."
Xiaofu slowly stood up, she walked to Ji Suniang's side, and said softly, "Second sister, sit down and drink saliva." ”
Ji Suniang took Qiu Li's hand, dragged her to the dining table, poured her a glass of water and handed it over.
Qiu Li waved her hand, "Let me slow down first, I'm confused until now, what happened?" ”
Xiaofu pursed her lips and said, "It's not my unsuccessful uncle, I don't know which tendon is wrong with him, and he put his grandfather and grandmother under house arrest, and we were probably locked up together by the way." ”
"My father and mother have been locked in the back of the house for two days, and they won't let us go out." Xiaofu covered her stomach and said, "In the past two days, my stomach has been uncomfortable, and I won't be asked to ask a doctor." ”
"Also, the morning before yesterday, when I woke up, I found that I had an extra charm on my body." She whispered mysteriously.
"Where's the charm?" Akiri asked.
"Throw it, this spell must have made me faint." A red shadow flashed in her eyes as she looked at Akiri.
Qiu Li was stunned, she looked carefully, Xiaofu's body did not linger with yin qi, and it looked normal.
Ji Suniang has not stopped smiling since she came back from beating her, "What about Xiao Tuanzi?" She asked.
"It's fine, it's hiding." Akiri explained.
"That's good, you're tired, let's go, I'll take you to the side room and take a rest." Ji Suniang stood up and said.
Xiaofu muttered, "Then you won't accompany me?" ”
"When it's dawn, I'll come back and talk to you." Ji Suniang said with a smile, her voice was a little alienated, she turned around and pulled Qiu Li and walked to the wing room on the right.
Qiuli only felt that behind her, Xiaofu's gaze seemed to be like a spike, making her feel uncomfortable.
There are a total of three wings here, and the west wing on the far right is where Ji Suniang lives now.
It seems that the messy bedroom she just entered is Xiaofu's.
After Ji Suniang entered, she immediately closed the door, and she listened for a while without hearing any movement, so she pulled Qiu Li into the inner room.
The candles placed on the candlesticks were about to burn out, and drops of candle tears flowed onto the candlesticks.
The light flickered in the room, then subsided.
Only then did she say: "Xiaoli, it's good that you're here, I think something is wrong with Xiaofu." ”
