162 Disappearances (2)
As she spoke, Yeats suddenly felt too quiet, and when she raised her eyes, someone's eyes were looking at her, and Yeats blushed, "My lord, come and eat." ”
Pei Jingning sat on the bench and didn't move, and even beckoned to her.
Yeats felt something, his face was a little red, and he instantly turned red like blood: "My lord......"
Before he finished speaking, someone stretched out his long arm and scooped the little lady into his arms.
"Adult ......"
Yeats often coveted someone's beauty, but once she was really skilled, she coerced, shrunk in the arms of Lord Shaoqing, and did not dare to move, looking unproductive.
Lord Shaoqing lowered his head and kissed him.
Under the dim light, Lord Shaoqing was gentle and tender, Yeats was fascinated by his kiss, only to feel muddy and groggy, until Lord Shaoqing kissed down along the skin behind her ear, reached out to untie her collar, and felt the sudden touch of cold air on the skin, Yeats suddenly sobered up.
"Your Excellency......" she got up and stood on the other side of the table, looking up in a panic.
Lord Shaoqing raised his eyes.
Between the two, the hot pot on the small table boiled in the heat of the carbon fire, gurgling, the soup boiled, the heat rose, and drifted in the air, like a misty mist.
I almost ...... just now Pei Jingning stretched one hand on the bench and stroked his forehead with the other hand to calm his heartbeat.
Seeing that Lord Shaoqing was no longer staring at her, Yeats patted his heart, sat down, picked up chopsticks and began to scald.
After a while, Pei Jingning also sat down at the small table, in fact, he was already hungry, so he picked up chopsticks and ate dinner with the little lady opposite.
On a cold winter day, the small room that was as cold as freezing half an hour ago became warm because of the charcoal brazier and the steaming hot pot.
The ingredients on the table were not enough, Bai Lang went below to get another one, and the two of them ate until midnight, and after a while, the young lady left in a carriage.
Eating too much, and lingering with Lord Shaoqing, Yeats really didn't have the strength to go back, so let Ade, Ye Lan take the people in the restaurant back, she stayed in the attic alone, Yang Fuquan was not at ease, hugged the bed quilt and slept in the account room next door, fortunately, there was a residual carbon fire in the kitchen, and a pot was put inside, not cold.
After the second day of duty, Yeats continued to sort out the documents on the bookcase, and at noon, Qin Dachuan came back from outside, bringing the information of the Hua family who had asked for help last night.
"Still haven't found it?"
Qin Dachuan shook his head.
Yeats put down what he was doing and thought for a moment, "Well, I'll go and see if there are any clues." ”
Seeing Yeats walking out, Qin Dachuan said, "You haven't eaten lunch yet?" ”
Yeats shouted at Xiao Quanzi, "You go to the canteen to get a few steamed buns, and Uncle Qin and I are waiting for you at the door." ”
"Okay." Xiao Quanzi disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Zhao Bai got up, "I'm with you." ”
Yeats waved his hand, "Lord Zhao, you are all suffering from the cold, it stands to reason that you can not come to the top today, it is cold outside, you don't want to go out, it's nothing, it's just that Uncle Qin's friend and daughter are lost, I'll go see if there are any clues." ”
Zhao Bai looked sickly today, his face was pale, and he coughed from time to time.
Yeats couldn't stand it, "If you come back early, I'll help you bring some cough cream." ”
"Ahem...... Zhao Bai coughed a few more times, "That...... Then thank you Brother Ye. ”
"Lord Zhao is too polite, then you can sit down, let's go out first."
Zhao Bai sat back obediently, keeping his eyes on the door, even if Yeats disappeared from his sight, he did not withdraw his gaze.
Yeats and Qin Dachuan met Teng Chong and others who had returned from work at the door.
"Where to go?"
"Uncle Qin has a friend's daughter lost, it's the fourth day today, and I haven't found anyone yet, I'll go see if there's anything I can do to help."
Teng Chong sighed coldly, "Then you two have eaten?" ”
"No, let Xiao Quanzi take the steamed buns."
Tengchong almost rolled his eyes, on such a cold day, he just wanted to eat hot when he came back from a field trip, but now he can't eat it, come on, pull Ma back.
"It's not a case, it's okay, you don't have to follow." Yeats said to Teng.
Teng Chong said: "Forget it, wait until you meet a small restaurant on the road to have a bowl of hot noodle soup." ”
Yeats smiled, "Then I'll please." ”
Half an hour later, Yeats and his men arrived at Pian Tile Lane.
Why is it called Pian Wa Lane, it is a place where some small traders and hawkers live in difficulty, and the houses and yards are old, dilapidated, and dilapidated.
When they arrived at the mouth of the alley, Yeats and the others dismounted and left the horse at the mouth of the alley.
"Further north is the moat!"
Qin Dachuan nodded: "Well, many men in this alley are coolies in the canal north of the moat, and so are the Hua family, the men of the Hua family work as coolies in the canal, and the Hua Ding family goes to the canal tank boat to get dirty clothes, and earns some copper to subsidize the family by pulping and washing clothes for others." ”
Yeats asked, "Is this the only girl in the Hua family?" ”
"There is another boy, but this boy was sent to the shop as an apprentice, and the four-year-old girl is left in the family, the Hua couple is not like other patriarchal families, and they are also very good to girls, so the child is missing, and these two people are almost stunned to find the child."
In order not to be eaten out, Ye Dahe asked his daughter to show off in men's clothes, and it was not easy to see a family that did not despise girls in ancient times.
This may be the reason why Yeats was willing to help.
In the north of the city, there are indeed many poor people, walking down an alley, the children playing in the alley are all wearing patched cotton clothes, and some are even wearing autumn clothes, and their faces and hands are frostbitten, which makes people unbearable.
There were also some old people sitting in the doorway basking in the sun, and they all stood up nervously when they saw Yeats and others in official clothes.
There is an old man who knows Qin Dachuan, "Big official, you are ......"
"For the daughter of Flower Five."
"Ouch, this kid hasn't been found for three or four days, and it is estimated that he was taken away by Pahuazi."
Another old man retorted, "That day, I sat at the mouth of the alley, and I didn't see the little girl out of the alley, and I definitely wasn't taken away by the flowers." ”
"The alleys have been turned over, where are the people?" The old man sneered, "Old man Ding, don't think that you have the same surname as the mother-in-law of the Hua family, just think that you are a relative, just talk nonsense, don't be taken away by the flowers, is it possible that you will be eaten by dogs?" ”
A third old man interjected, "Even if a dog eats it, it must have bones." ”
"Yes." The old man who was the first to speak saw that someone was attached, and the tone of his reply was even more neutral.
Yeats looked from one end of the alley to the other, "Isn't there an exit at the end of the alley?" ”
"Yes, there is, but there is no street or road behind, it's just a piece of garbage, and no one goes except dogs." (End of chapter)
