Chapter 20: The Last Meal
"Yes, miss. The maid was frightened by her tone, and was stunned for a moment before answering.
After Miss Chen Er's hair dried, she lay down on the bed and slept under the service of the maid.
The maid put down the veil beside the bed, took a quilt from a low cabinet and placed it on the board, wrapped the quilt around her body and leaned against the bed.
It may be late at night, and the person in bed quickly breathes steadily and falls asleep.
And the maid next to the bed has not slept, holding her knees with her hands in a daze, looking a little fragile.
Yu Niang is very strange, this girl is very arrogant during the day, why does she look a little pitiful!
Yu Niang wanted to leave, but saw that girl suddenly stood up.
Probably afraid of alarming the people on the bed, he quietly stepped forward to take a look and found that the young lady was not awake, so he gently lifted the quilt and quietly went out.
What is this maid doing when she goes out in the middle of the night? Out of curiosity, Yu Niang followed, she always felt that there was something wrong with this maid, this was completely different from the daytime.
Yu Niang followed her to the kitchen and saw that she was busy in the kitchen alone, cooking a lot of meals. When done, put it in a large food box.
Then, I cleaned the kitchen again, cleaned it up before leaving with the food box, and Yu Niang followed.
The maid spring flowers went around left and right in front of them, and came to a relatively broken courtyard, which was overgrown with weeds, and the rockeries on the rockery were also a little falling off.
Yu Niang saw her carrying the food box to the rockery, walked to the back, I don't know which mechanism she touched, and saw a crack under the rockery, and only one person could pass through.
Yu Niang followed the maid after she went down, and soon the door to the passage was closed. Quietly followed her to the tunnel and carefully examined the tunnel.
There is a layer of spider webs hanging on it, it looks like it is some years old, Yu Niang guesses that this tunnel was dug by the ancestor of the Chen family? It may also be dug by the previous homeowner, I don't know how they found it.
Yu Niang was afraid of being discovered by the maid, so she continued to walk forward after she had been gone for a long time. Although this tunnel is narrow, it is quite long, and I don't know if there is another exit?
After walking for a while, Yu Niang heard the voice inside, it was a man's voice, and guessed that it was Ma Xiucai.
I only heard him say, "Thank you, Miss Chunhua, for coming to bring me food again." But why are there so many today?"
"Ma Gongzi, you can eat quickly! I'll tell you when you're done. Chunhua laid out all the food and said.
Ma Xiucai said: "Okay!"
Hearing the voice, Yu Niang took a few more steps forward and saw a man locked in a dilapidated cell, with chains on his hands and feet.
Chunhua took out all the food she had brought and put it on the ground, and handed the man chopsticks.
may be hungry, Yu Niang saw Ma Xiucai holding the bowl and eating from a distance, and the maid Chunhua kept serving him vegetables.
How does this look like a couple in the home of ordinary people?
However, Yu Niang didn't care what the relationship between the two was, her purpose was to find Ma Xiucai and take her out. As for the rest of the matter, it has nothing to do with her.
The man surnamed Ma quickly ate enough, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Spring Flower girl, why is today's meal so late?"
Chunhua didn't know how to say: Miss has no patience to spend any more time with him, and plans to starve him to death.
Seeing that the man surnamed Ma kept staring at her, Chunhua took a long time before she spoke: "Young Master Ma, you just promise Miss! Say good things to Miss, maybe Miss will let you out?"
"A manly man, how can he stoop under a woman, and he is still a ***//woman. Ma would rather die than give in. ”
"You...... But Miss, she really wants you dead. ”
“......”
"Miss, I have taken a fancy to another son today. The boy was very pleased with the young lady, and the young lady asked him to come tomorrow to propose marriage, saying that he would live a good life with him.
Miss is going to give up on you, she wants you to die. I'm sneaking here today, I'm going to let you out now, you run away!
As long as you leave Miss Yizhou, you won't be able to find you. The maid found a brick from the ground and smashed the chain.
Yu Niang watched her squat on the ground and smash it hard, but the iron chain did not move at all, but the blue bricks that smashed the iron chain were broken into pieces.
The man surnamed Ma hurriedly put away the chain and said to her: "Don't make any effort, if I could smash it, I would have smashed it a long time ago." You're going to die! ”
"I'm not leaving. Ma Gongzi, Miss wants you to die, if you die, it won't be interesting for me to live! The maid Chunhua said while crying.
Chunhua's words moved the man surnamed Ma very much, but he couldn't accept it.
walked to the other side and said to her: "Thank you girl for your love, Ma has married a good wife in his family, and he just added a new son not long ago."
Therefore, the girl should give up! Ma still said that he would not disappoint his wife at home. ”
"Why? I just want to stay with you, and I didn't even think about competing with your wife for the position of wife. ”
"Girl, you'd better go! Thank you for sending this last meal to Ma. After that, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Seeing that Ma Gongzi didn't want to talk to her anymore, Chunhua cried and turned to leave.
Yu Niang saw that Chunhua was going out, so she hurriedly hid in the dark, saw that she came to the exit, pressed it on the wall on the right, and after the door opened, Chunhua walked out.
After Chunhua left, Yu Niang waited at the exit for a while, and when she saw that no one came again, Yu Niang turned around and walked into the tunnel.
Ma Gongzi, who was sitting by the wall, heard the footsteps and thought that Chunhua had returned, so he didn't even raise his head and said to her, "Why is the girl back again?" Ma will not change his mind. ”
"No one wants you to change your mind. Are you Ma Xiucai who lives at the Fulai Inn?"
"Yes. Ma Xiucai hurriedly replied.
Yu Niang walked in front of Ma Xiucai, drew her sword and slashed at the interface of the chain, and the chain broke in response.
After Ma Xiucai finished speaking, he looked up at Yu Niang, and saw that it was a young man, who easily cut the iron chain with a sword, and there was not even a trace on the sword.
After Yu Niang cut the chain, she saw that this Ma Xiucai was still in a daze, and urged: "Hurry up and go!
Ma Xiucai came back to his senses, grabbed the half of the iron chain in his hand, and followed Yu Niang to the outside.
Out of the tunnel, Ma Xiucai was a little cold, Yu Niang asked him to bear with it, and planned to go to the inn to find clothes for him to wear.
Yu Niang took Ma Xiucai to the courtyard wall of the Chen family, and when she came to the wall, Ma Xiucai asked, "How can we get out?" There is no ladder around here. ”
Yu Niang didn't speak, grabbed his collar and threw it up, and then flew up, so frightened that Ma Xiucai screamed, and then covered his mouth again, but the people in the courtyard were still alarmed.
The lights began to be lit in each room, and soon someone came to the courtyard with lanterns.
Yu Niang hurriedly lifted Ma Xiucai's collar and flew to the opposite roof, and then flew in the direction of the inn with him, they had to hurry back to the inn so as not to be discovered.
Yu Niang took Ma Xiucai over the wall into the inn, came to Li Hengyao's room and knocked on the door, and after a while, a voice came from inside: "It's here." ”
Then the lights came on, and the door opened from the inside, and when I saw Yu Niang standing at the door, I asked strangely: "Young Master Liu, why are you knocking on the door so late?"
Yu Niang pulled Ma Xiucai behind her over and said, "Don't ask yet, let him stay in your room for one night, and talk about it tomorrow." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Li Hengyao to speak, she took the sword and went back to the room.
