Chapter 242: Absurd Purpose
Tang Rou was bored and circled around the room, she really couldn't understand that these people had arrested her and had good food and drink every day, but they didn't tell her why they put her under house arrest here.
Several attempts to escape were in vain.
"Hey!" Tang Rou sighed for the umpteenth time, "As for me, just me, an ordinary little woman, to be guarded by so many people! Do you think I'm a monster?"
Squeak, the door was opened, this gentle way of opening the door, Tang Rou didn't need to look at it to know that it was the one who delivered the food, because the great magician and they have always been a group of people who have come in.
"Miss Tang Rou?"
Tang Rou wondered why the maid who came to deliver the meal today knew her name and specially called her.
Scratching her head suspiciously, Tang Rou could see at a glance that the maid who delivered the meal today was not an ordinary maid, and the temperament revealed in her eyes was not trivial.
"Who are you?" Tang Rou approached her and asked in a low voice.
The woman looked Tang Rou up and down before introducing herself, "My name is Hu Yan, and I am the daughter of the city lord. ”
Hearing this, Tang Rou was even more confused, "What the hell? You are the daughter of the city lord, so why do you have to dress like this? And it seems that you came to me specifically." ”
Hu Yan nodded, "I've seen your brother Shi Yugongzi, he's looking for you." ”
My brother, Shi Yu?
Tang Rou suddenly realized, "Oh, my eldest brother, where is he now?"
Hu Yan pulled Tang Rou to the inside and sat down, "He is now at my uncle's house, and we are trying to find a way to save you." ”
"Help me?"
This woman is the daughter of the city lord, and said that he wanted to save her, Tang Rou was completely confused at this time, why did the city lord put her under house arrest, and the daughter of the city lord said that he wanted to save her.
"Wait a minute," Tang Rou gasped and looked at Hu Yan with a serious face, "this ...... Oh, by the way, Miss Hu Yan, can you make that clear?"
"Huh?"
"In this way," Tang Rou smiled and asked, "Do you know why your city lord wanted to arrest me and put me under house arrest?"
Hu Yan was surprised, "Miss Tang Rou doesn't know anything?"
"Of course!" Tang Rou was speechless, "If I knew, I would ask you what you were doing!"
"Oh," Hu Yan apologized embarrassedly, and then explained, "My sister is dead, and my father wants to use you to resurrect my sister." ”
Tang Rou swallowed her saliva fiercely, seriously suspecting that she had misheard, she was not some magical elixir that could be used to resurrect the dead? Or was it that this city believed in some nonsense spell, and wanted to use her, a foreigner, to sacrifice or something?
"Nonsense! It's just nonsense! How can there be such a thing as resurrection from the dead in this world!"
Hu Yan continued to explain: "It's because of the spell on your body, Miss Tang Rou, to resurrect my sister, because they think that this spell on your body can make you not hurt or die, then it will definitely bring my sister back to life." ”
"The more I talk about it, the more ridiculous it gets, even if the spell on my body can keep me from being injured and not dying, it can't prove that I can resurrect the dead!"
This is what Tang Rou remembered when she was under house arrest these days, when the great magician came to see her, what he did to her.
Hu Yan said out loud again, "Maybe there is something they can do about it, but I don't know what they are going to do yet." ”
"Okay," Tang Rou loosened her shoulders, "I roughly understand the matter, you just said that you and Shi Yu are my eldest brother, and you are trying to find a way to save me? Why do you want to help my eldest brother save me? Don't you want your sister to be resurrected?"
"This ......" Hu Yan looked outside, "Miss Tang Rou, I can't stay here for too long, I just want to tell you, let you pay attention to what the great magician said to you in the future, and what you want to do, I will come to you again, go first." ”
After speaking, Hu Yan hurriedly got up and left.
Although she now has a general understanding of her house arrest, Tang Rou still has an inexplicable face, she can't imagine that there are such absurd people in this world.
But if you think about it, you can understand that when your daughter dies, you want her to be resurrected, which is what every parent who has lost a child hopes to achieve, but ordinary people just think about it, and it is really rare to put it into action like this.
The fact that he was inexplicably regarded as a panacea made Tang Rou very depressed, but there were also things that made Tang Rou happy.
"I didn't expect this Shi Yu to be quite righteous, and I thought he would leave me alone. ”
After all, it's just people who have only known each other for two or three days, and they are not even ordinary friends.
/
In Wu Yue's mansion, Shi Yu finally waited for Hu Yan's first news.
"Yan'er said," Wu Yue walked to Shi Yu and sat down, "Your sister Tang Rou is okay now, the Grand Magician should not have thought of a specific way to achieve the action of saving people." ”
"I think I still have to find a way to get in, and if something happens, I'll be able to deal with it as soon as possible. ”
Wu Yue thought about it and thought that what Shi Yu said also made some sense, after all, the sooner this matter was resolved for them, the better, and if it dragged on for a long time, it would definitely be variable.
"In this way, I will discuss it with the eldest lady, if it is convenient for her there, it will not be difficult to take you in, now I am afraid that the second lady will do something." ”
"Is the second lady the mother of the deceased young lady?"
Wu Yue nodded and sighed at the same time, "In the famous garden, except for the city lord, it is the second lady who covers the sky with one hand. ”
Shi Yu didn't care about other people's affairs, he just wanted to rescue Tang Rou as soon as possible now, because they had more important things to do.
"So be it. Wu Yue got up and said, "I'll go find the eldest lady now, you are waiting for my news here." ”
When Shi Yu heard this, he was immediately happy, and hurriedly got up and thanked him, "Then thank you very much." ”
"You're welcome, like you said, we're helping each other, helping you, that is, helping ourselves. ”
After saying that, Wu Yue went out.
Shi Yu originally wanted to follow quietly, but in the end he thought that even if he followed, he would not be able to enter the famous garden, so he had to obediently stay in Wu Yue's mansion and wait for news.
But it was impossible to let him stay in the room quietly, and after thinking about it for a while, Shi Yu decided to go out and investigate and find out what was going on in this Juecheng.
As soon as Shi Yu walked out of the door, he saw a familiar person.
The other party also saw him at the same time.
"Childe!" Xiang Gu looked surprised, "How could you ......?"
Shi Yu walked towards Xianggu and smiled, "What a coincidence, I actually met you here." ”
"Yes...... Oh, yes. Xiang Gu glanced at the place where Shi Yu came out and asked in a low voice, "Childe, why are you near Lord Wu's mansion?"
"Well, I have something I want to ask you about. Shi Yu smiled apologetically, "I don't know Aunt Xiang, it's inconvenient, let's go have a drink together?"
"When...... Absolutely, I ...... I'm convenient, nothing is wrong. ”
Shi Yu nodded and motioned for Xiang Gu to go with him.
The two came to a restaurant, and Shi Yu took Xianggu into the compartment on the second floor.
After the food and drinks were all served, Shi Yu looked at Aunt Xiang, who was a little nervous, and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person." ”
"No...... I'm not nervous, it's just that I've never been here since I've grown so big. ”
"You're welcome, girl, let's talk while eating. ”
Xianggu finally raised her head and said: "Don't call me girl, you have more life, everyone calls me Xianggu, you can call it that, by the way, I don't even know the name of Gongzi." ”
Shi Yu arched his hand, "I'm sorry, I haven't had time to introduce myself, my name is Shi Yu, the charity of the charity, the feather of the feather." ”
"It's Shi Gongzi. ”
Shi Yu nodded to signal that she was not polite.
Xianggu hesitated before slowly picking up the chopsticks.
Seeing that Aunt Xiang was much more comfortable, Shi Yu spoke, "Aunt Xiang, I want to ask you something." ”
"Well," Xiang Gu nodded, "Shi Gongzi wants to ask whatever he wants, just ask, I will tell you everything I know." ”
"What kind of person is your city lord?"
Hearing this question, Xiang Gu's hand paused, looked up at Shi Yu, thought about it for a while, reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all.
"Speaking of our city lord," Xiang Gu looked at the door, making sure that no one was able to continue: "I used to be a good city lord, but since I married the second lady, my whole person has changed. ”
"Oh?
Xianggu shook her head, "I don't know the specifics, but I often listen to other people's discussions, this second lady used to be the daughter of an umbrella maker in our city, because she is so beautiful, the men in our city don't dislike her, but they have heads and faces, and they have all come to the door to mention marriage, but what, people can't look down on anyone." ”
"Heh," Shi Yu sneered, "Such a woman naturally looks down on other people, with absolute beauty, her heart will naturally become extremely high." ”
"But no," Xiang Gu squeezed her nose, "you said that you don't look down on anyone, and you don't stay at home obediently, you just wander around the streets all day long, where the excitement goes, one day you were seen by the city lord who came out to look for the city, and you took it back." ”
A woman who is too beautiful will become a troublemaker if she is not safe enough, and this will not change at any time.
Xiang Gu took another sip of wine and continued, " Since the city lord married her, her whole heart was on her, and later she gave birth to a daughter to the city lord, that is, the second miss Hu Ran, who had died unexpectedly, this second lady is even more lawless, and if she doesn't put her sister Miss Hu Yan in her eyes, even the eldest lady she doesn't put it in her eyes, I heard that the eldest lady and the eldest lady have had a hard time since they had the mother and daughter, and it is not as good as us ordinary people, at least not to be bullied by anyone, plus the city lord protects the second lady and the second lady everywhere, and there is absolutely no doubt about their wordsThink about it, under such circumstances, can the eldest lady and the eldest lady have a good life? Not to mention that there are more important things. ”
"What's the matter?"
