Volume I, Chapter 20. The guards were worried about the people who broke into the building, and the young master finally returned at dusk
In the firewood room, Li Yu and Xiaolan both heard the sound of a fight outside the door, but the door of the firewood room was locked, and there were no windows on all sides, and the two didn't know what was going on.
Li Yu smiled and said, "Could it be that my father came to save me." ”
When Xiaolan heard Li Yu say this, she also had some expectations in her heart, and said, "That's fine." ”
However, after a while, the sound of fighting outside the door gradually stopped, and then there was no movement, which made the two of them happy in vain.
Xiaolan said, "It's okay. After a while, it will be dark and you will be able to go out and look for your family. ”
"Yes! When the time comes, I will definitely come back to you. ”
Xiaolan grabbed Li Yu's hand and said, "Don't forget me." Originally, Xiaolan had already accepted her fate, but Li Yuyi said. She is upset! She wanted to go out, she wanted to ask her mother face to face if she could really abandon herself for the sake of her younger brother.
Outside the firewood room, the Wang guard stood up, looked at the others, and then looked at the direction where the man had fled just now, and said, "You guys should disperse first, and each of you will go to your respective guard places to check if anyone has lost anything." ”
Steward Li saw that the group of people was about to disperse, and ran over with a scolding: "Why are you going?" Don't hurry up and chase after it! Fuck it! What are you going to eat! ”
When Guard Wang heard this, he glared at Steward Li. Steward Li was a little weak and said, "Look at what!" You're their leader, aren't you responsible for the safety of this place? ”
Wang Huwei asked rhetorically, "What's the matter with that person?" ”
Steward Li squirmed and talked about cleaning the room in the backyard to coming to the kitchen in the front yard with the third sister.
Wang Huwei said coldly: "Where is the eldest sister?" I want to see her. ”
"You don't chase people! What are you looking for your eldest sister? ”
Wang Huwei's eyes became even more vicious, "Where is the eldest sister?" ”
Steward Li was also a little frightened when he saw Escort Wang's face, and said, "In the accounting room in the backyard." ”
Hearing Steward Li's words, Guard Wang ignored Steward Li, and went directly to the account room in the backyard, where two people were guarding the door. The two of them were sturdy, their eyes were blazing, and they both had waist knives pinned to their waists, like two statues, motionless. The two of them stood motionless as if they had not seen the appearance of the king's guard, and did not react in any way. Guard Wang knocked on the door and said, "Eldest sister." ”
"Come in."
Escort Wang pushed the door in, and the eldest sister was sitting at the table looking at the ledger, and she didn't look up at Escort Wang at all. After a while, the eldest sister said, "Tell me what's going on." ”
"Someone dressed as ours slipped in."
"What about the others?"
"Ran away."
"Did you lose anything?"
"I've asked my men to investigate."
"What are you going to do about this? Sneaking in and people don't know? “
"Sister, this person should have come in from the backyard. I heard Steward Li say that he was dressed up as one of us to work in the backyard, and then followed the third sister to the front yard from the backyard. ”
When the eldest sister heard this, she immediately put down the account book in her hand, raised her head, and said, "Impossible." The backyard guards, the martial arts are not under you, how can you sneak in and no one knows. ”
Wang Huwei walked over and whispered to the eldest sister, "Eldest sister." If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Zhao Thorn. ”
"Zhao Thorn! Zhao Jian, one of the four killers under Wang Jien back then! ”
"Exactly."
"Are you sure?"
"I worked under the prince for a period of time, and I had a relationship with Zhao Jian. Moreover, his strange body will never be forgotten in my life. ”
"If it's really him, he can indeed hide from the eyes and ears of the people in the backyard. How did you find him, though? ”
"Coincidentally, I happened to meet him at the door of the firewood room. At that time, he saw that his face was familiar, and he reasoned that he worked here, and he might have seen it occasionally. But I didn't remember anything about it, so I hid around there and watched him, and when I saw him enter the hut, I didn't come out. It wasn't until Steward Li went to the thatched house that he suddenly rushed out and ran towards the firewood house. ”
"Firewood room? What's in the firewood room? ”
"There is the kid and the little girl I just bought in the firewood room."
The eldest sister analyzed: "He followed from the backyard to the front yard, so it can be seen that he is not here to investigate us." You said that I met you at that time, that is to say, he was walking to the firewood room, but in fact, the purpose is not clear, maybe he just wanted to go to the firewood room to check. When I met you, in order to hide people's eyes, I said to go find a latrine. After you showed the way, Steward Li thought about it, asked the third sister to confirm, and then went to the toilet to find him. He knew that he had been discovered, so he planned to check the firewood room immediately. Then all your people came, and he probably ran away for fear of getting out of trouble. ”
"The eldest sister's analysis is reasonable."
"That little girl, if there is such a way as Zhao Jian, how can she be reduced to the point of selling herself. Therefore, it is possible that Zhao Jian is here for that kid. ”
Wang Huwei added: "That kid does have some kung fu. At that time, if I slapped him, if it was an ordinary child, even if he didn't die, his muscles and veins would be broken, but after the boy received my palm, he could still stand up. It can be seen that there must be a famous teacher. ”
At this time, a person walked in slowly, walked over and whispered a few words to the eldest sister, who waved his hand and let him go. Then he said to Wang Huwei: "This kid is really Li Zhentian's son!" ”
"What!"
"I have already sent someone to investigate this matter yesterday, although I did not report to the police yesterday, but someone is already looking for a seven or eight-year-old child, who is similar in height and appearance. This morning, even the people who swore to the Jiang League were dispatched to find Li Zhentian's second son, Li Yu. ”
"All the people of the Oath River Alliance have been dispatched?"
"You've been here for a long time, so you don't know much about the rivers and lakes. Li Zhentian's wife, Ouyang Lan, is the sister-in-law of Liu Juma, the leader of the Sworn Jiang League. This child is equivalent to Liu Yuma's nephew. ”
After hearing this, the king's guard was like a thunderbolt in the sky, and this time, even the oath Jiang League was offended. What was usually a high-spirited appearance now becomes cringe, saying, "This... This... What to do? I beat him and almost killed him. ”
"What are you anxious about? Aren't people still dead? ”
"Eldest sister, you must help me with this!"
"Why did you lock people up in the firewood room?"
"We don't know who he is. Thinking that it might be a wild child, it was too good for him, and the money was wasted. So, just ... ”
"Foolish thing!"
"Big sister! Then I'll release him now! ”
"You said he knew some martial arts. How's he doing? ”
"I don't know the specifics, but he ate my palm, and I guess I won't be able to move for a while."
"Then don't let it go yet, in case he runs away again, we will be in trouble. I will write a letter in a moment and send someone to the inn where Li Zhentian is staying. ”
"You already know Li Zhentian's inn!"
"How can you do this kind of thing if you don't do it fully. You get your people to keep an eye on it. I'll give him something delicious in the evening, I have a lot of things on my hands today. Early tomorrow morning, he will be respectfully sent back to Li Zhentian. When you apologize to people and pay some money, this matter should be over. ”
When Wang Huwei heard this arrangement, he was relieved and said, "Okay! Everything is arranged by the eldest sister! ”
"Alright, let's get busy."
The Wang guard immediately ran to the firewood room, opened the door and walked in.
Li Yu was resting on the hay to recuperate for the night's escape. The Wang guard suddenly came in, Li Yu suddenly got together, his chest hurt again, and he screamed "oops".
Xiaolan is also a spirit, looking at this Wang guard, and said in her heart: It's getting dark this day, why did this guy run in, could it be that the plan was discovered?
When Wang Huwei saw this Li Yu's appearance, he was relieved and thought: Fortunately, his palm is not heavy or light, and he has not killed him, and he will not be able to move for a while, so he will definitely not be able to run away like this. Send him back tomorrow, and that should be the end of it. However, even the blind self-confidence of Wang Huwei did not notice that the skylight above the firewood room was only covered by a thin wooden board. This also planted a catastrophe for himself.
After seeing this, the Wang guard walked out, locked the door, and then found two people, said to take a good look at the kid, and then walked to the kitchen, and changed his appearance again, and said, "Prepare something for the kid in the firewood room at night." Did you hear me? When the cooks heard this, they nodded.
The night was falling little by little, Li Yu felt that the time was ripe, moved his body, held Xiaolan's hand, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely save you when I go out." Xiaolan nodded. Li Yu could feel that Xiaolan's hands were covered with some fine sweat. Let go of Xiaolan's hand, then jumped, kicked against the wall, grabbed the eaves of the skylight, and then lifted the thin plank with his head and looked out. Seeing that there was no one on the roof, he leaned on his stomach and climbed out little by little. After coming out, as soon as I straightened up a little, I saw two people standing in front of the firewood room below, and quickly lay down again. Fortunately, this firewood house is a bungalow, with an eaves about half a foot high, Li Yu is lying on the ground, and the people below can't see it. Li Yu crawled to the back of the firewood house. Then he slowly jumped down the wall, and when he landed, there was a slight sound.
"Old fat! Did you hear anything? ”
"Nope!"
"Big brother said let's take a good look at this kid, I don't know what it means."
"Who knows? Big brother let us see, let's just watch. ”
"His grandmother's! It's only April, and these mosquitoes are out! ”
Li Yu leaned his back against the wall, holding his breath, not daring to move, and after hearing what the two said, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he stood up, leaned down, and ran to the light of the hall while his vision was not clear in the night.
