Chapter Eighty-Nine: Waiting for the Opportunity to Move Again
"Sister, am I sick?" Wen Wu'er asked cautiously, "I can't seem to remember many, many things, what about grandpa, what about my mother, why don't you see anyone?" ”
Sun Shining thought about it for a while and said with relief: "They want you to live better, so let you go to live in the county, you are in good health, and they will be very happy." ”
At such an urgent juncture, the woman who can stuff the child in the hearth must not be a simple character.
"I'll be obedient and I'll be well and come home soon." Wen Wu'er was really well-behaved, sitting next to Sun Shining, holding her knees with her hands, "I'm hungry, does my sister still have anything to eat?" ”
Sun Shining hurriedly gave him the rest of the cakes, Wen Wu'er is not a child who has not eaten good things, although he is not hungry, he is still sven, a small hand is always on his chin, and he did not let the crumbs fall all over the ground, she didn't dare to ask, what he ate in the hearth in those days, and how did he survive in the dark.
There used to be a saying that everyone would hide that memory when they were most frightened, so that they would not be able to recall it again, I was afraid that Wen Wu'er was in this situation, and Sun Shining poured some water for him when he choked slightly.
Wen Wu'er said vaguely words of thanks, and drank all the water in one gulp, leaving not a drop left.
"My lord, I'm about to go to the county seat." A voice came, which relieved Sun Shining's breath, probably because Shen Nian's aura was too big, after he personally dealt with the provocative people, he sat still, and no one dared to come again, she knew that those people would not stop there, but they were afraid of his deterrence, and they hid in the shadows, wanting to wait for the opportunity to move again.
When the carriage stopped, Sun Shining grabbed a thin blanket, this Cong Yun really had to enjoy it, everything in the car was ready, she looked at Wen Wu'er and said softly: "Your body can't blow the wind for the time being, can I wrap you up with this?" ”
Wen Wu'er had no objection at all, Sun Shining wrapped his whole person, and instructed him to bury his face in her shoulder, not to raise his head to look at people, Shen Nian opened the door curtain, saw that she was ready, and showed a look of approval, and the evil on his face slowly retracted: "Is it heavy, do you want me to hug it?" ”
Wen Wu'er didn't squeak, but her body was a little tight, Sun Shining shook his head and said, "It's not heavier than my brother, I can hold it." ”
Shen Nianyi took her a hand and let her land steadily: "This is the county government, although it is not safe, it is more than enough to be less than the bottom." ”
"Lord Shen, the subordinate officials have been derelict in their duties, and the adults have been tired." In the county office, a person stumbled out, his face was pale and blue, he looked like a sick seedling, he was walking unsteadily, Zhuge Qing next to him was supporting, and he wanted to brush Zhuge Qing's hand away.
"Hu Zhixian, you are seriously ill, don't force yourself out." Shen Nianyi said with a cold face, "It's windy outside, let's go in first." ”
"Yes, yes, Zhuge County doesn't need to support me, arrange Lord Shen first." Hu Zhixian's illness is not pretending, even Sun Shining, who does not understand medical skills, can see that the illness is not light, when she walked in front of him with the child in her arms, she clearly felt that his gaze stayed on her, but quickly and deliberately shifted away.
"Your Excellency." Tang Churou greeted him, "The things that the adults told have been done, and those few have been sent to the prison and locked up, they know that they have made a big mistake, and they don't dare to talk nonsense, but they know each other, Uncle Shi, is he okay?" ”
"Fortunately, with your uncle from the side, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come back so smoothly." Shen Nianyi's words fell, Qi He appeared behind them, and when he heard his praise in person, he actually couldn't hold his face a little, and coughed heavily.
Tang Churou knew his temperament very well, and took him from Shi Laosan with a smile, and wanted to send him back to the room to rest, Qi He held his black umbrella with one hand and limped with her.
"Lord Shen, Miss Sun, Hu Zhixian has arranged a guest room, please go this way." Zhuge Qing lowered his eyebrows, for example, when he got along with them, he was more cautious.
Sun Shining couldn't help but glance at him, but saw that he always looked at the small piece under his feet, his eyes didn't shake at all, what was he afraid of?
Shen Nianyi should have seen the clue as well, and his face did not change, until Zhuge Qing took them around a corner, and then asked in a deep voice: "Didn't you say that Hu Zhixian is your uncle?" ”
Zhuge Qing immediately smiled bitterly and said: "When he started his business, he looked at it with a single face, and the most taboo was that I talked about nepotism in front of my colleagues, Lord Shen, I really relied on my own ability to do it, and I have nothing to do with Huzhi County." ”
"You're afraid of him?" Sun Shining asked really simply, from beginning to end, she didn't hate Zhuge Qing, she was a person who was willing to do things, and she didn't make trouble, Zhuge Qing's face slowly turned red, and she lowered her head and refused to admit it.
Shen Nianyi pushed open the door of the guest room: "Shining, you live in this room." ”
Sun Shining came in with Wen Wu'er in her arms, stunned, how is the structure of this house the same as Hu Zhixian's home, there is a door between the two rooms, which can be opened or closed separately, she didn't have time to take a closer look, and took Wen Wu'er to the inner room: "I'm tired of Zhuge County Cheng to send some hot water in." ”
"Okay, Miss Sun, if you still need anything, just tell me, I am still responsible for taking care of the food and daily life of a few people, presumably before the He family's case is solved, you will all live here, and I have already sent someone to send back all your belongings." Zhuge Qing got down to business, without the embarrassment just now, but combed it very properly, "The few people who were escorted over, please also rest assured that Lord Shen has doubled the manpower to take care of it, and I guarantee that I can't run." ”
Sun Shining carried Wen Wu'er all the way to the edge of the bed, then untied the thin blanket, squatted down and asked softly, "Is it stuffy?" ”
Wen Wu'er shook her head: "Sister, is this your home?" He shuddered suddenly, without warning, "I think it's cold here, I'm scared." ”
"It's safe here, Wu'er doesn't have to be afraid." Sun Shining's palm rubbed lightly on the top of his head, "The Shen Master who came in with us just now has very good martial arts, and he will definitely not let us be threatened in any way." ”
"I see him flying." Wen Wu'er's eyes lit up.
"Yes, he can fly, and he will beat all the bad guys away so that the bad guys don't get their way." Sun Shining pursed the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "All the bad guys in the world are terrified when they hear his name. ”
"It's not kind to praise people behind your back." Shen Nian strode in and obviously heard their conversation, "Wu'er's body is still good?" ”
"When the hot water comes, I'll take a shower for him and let him sleep peacefully." Sun Shining looked outside and said, "Why is that Zhuge Qing afraid of Hu Zhixian?" ”
"Not only is he afraid of Hu Zhi County, but the officials are also afraid of Hu Zhi County, or to put it another more appropriate word, they are in awe of Hu Zhi County, although Hu Zhi County is old-fashioned, in the past few years in Ling County, there are still some things to do." Shen Nianyi's brows furrowed and loosened, "But Wu'er's words are not wrong, since I stepped into the county office, I always felt that something was wrong, which is why he felt scared." ”
When Sun Shining heard him say this, he became nervous again: "It's all county government here, could it be that those murderers will lurk under the nose of the magistrate?" ”
"Be careful." Shen Nianyi glanced at Wen Wu'er quickly, "He should be able to recall, what did he see?" ”
"Let him sleep first, and when he wakes up, I'll ask him slowly." Sun Shining held one of Wen Wu'er's hands, the child was so frightened that every finger was trembling, but he was silent, she forcibly endured it, she didn't want to force him, if he was willing to take the initiative to remember those unbearable memories, then it would definitely help the case.
"Shining, he said it earlier so that he could be safe."
"Even if he says it, those people may not be willing to open the net and let him live." Sun Shining hid Wen Wu'er behind him, "He has experienced those things, and he is already very pitiful. ”
Wen Wu'er stretched out his hand and grabbed the clothes on her back, and grabbed it very tightly, just as Zhuge Qing had already sent someone to send a large bucket of hot water in, Sun Shining saw a few people coming in, and quickly turned around and blocked Wen Wu'er's figure, and Shen Nianyi blocked her again: "Zhuge County Cheng, we are running around for a day, please take some light food to fill your stomach." ”
As soon as Zhuge Qing left, Shen Nianyi pointed at Sun Shining and said, "You go out first to avoid." ”
Sun Shining didn't react, Shen Nianyi chuckled and said, "He's not your own brother, he's an eight-year-old child, you have to know how to avoid suspicion." ”
"You mean, you help him with the bath!"
"What, you're afraid I won't be able to do this?"
"No, it's not." Sun Shining was even more worried that Wen Wu'er would be afraid of Shen Nianyi and refused to cooperate, but unfortunately Shen Nianyi only needed the simplest look, so Wu'er sat on the chair and bent down to take off his shoes first.
She waited outside for a stick of incense, and then heard Shen Nianyi say loudly: "Come in, it's all washed." ”
Wen Wu'er's face was flushed, wearing Shen Nianyi's clothes, with long sleeves and long trousers, which was indescribably strange, Sun Shining hurriedly stepped forward, rolled up the cuffs and trousers for him, and tied the clothes belt for him again, so that he could barely see it.
"Sister, I saw the second young lady crying." Wen Wu'er said a word.
Sun Shining remained silent, slowly raised his head and asked, "And then, what's wrong with her?" ”
"She sat on the chair in the study and cried all the time, I hid behind the bookshelf, I didn't dare to make a sound, I originally wanted to pick up a stone marble, my mother said I couldn't enter the study, I was afraid that the second young lady would find out that I was there and would go to my mother to complain, so I kept covering my mouth and didn't let her find out." Wen Wu'er's eyes gradually dispersed, "She sat and cried endlessly, and suddenly took out a small bottle from her arms, looked at it for a while and cried for a while, and cried for a while, I was a little anxious, if it went on like this, it would be almost dark." ”
