Chapter 37: The Trap
It was late at night, but Ye Junsheng hadn't slept yet, thinking about some complicated things, and it was difficult to sleep. He groped out the "Spirit Fox Picture" that he carried closely, unfolded it, and watched it under the lamp.
In the painting, the white fox reads a book, lifelike, and his expression is quiet and serene. When you look at it, you will unconsciously immerse yourself in the painting, be infected, and calm down.
After looking at it for a while, he rolled up the scroll, Ye Jun's business was prosperous, and he immediately spread out the four treasures of the study, swished, waved ink, and copied a poem:
"The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the romantic characters ...... through the ages"
It is the famous poem "Nian Nujiao? Chibi Nostalgia", which has been recited through the ages, and does not write the title, but only the text. In one go, I threw my pen after writing, and I didn't clean it up, and went straight to bed.
No dreams are there, and the next day in his spare time, Ye Junsheng took his sister ashore to go to Dao'an Mansion for a walk. Before leaving, Jiang Jing'er snorted angrily and repeatedly told them to come back early. Because tonight's poetry meeting officially began, the title will be handed down at the time, so that the contestants can improvise, for half an hour, and if the manuscript is not delivered after the deadline, it will not be accepted.
Ye Junsheng answered and went to take care of himself.
Compared to Pengcheng County, Dao'an Mansion is bigger and more prosperous, with a constant flow of people and many new gadgets sold on the streets.
Ye Junmei was dizzying, and he was interested, but he just watched it, and he didn't buy it - after Ye Junsheng wrote couplets in the countryside, he had more money on hand, and he had a hundred dollars to spare, but at the beginning of spring, Ye Junsheng participated in the children's test, and there were many places to use the money, so he had to save these savings, which was not enough at all, how could he dare to spend money indiscriminately.
Ye Junsheng saw through his sister's thoughts, and without thinking, he walked to a stall to buy a jade bracelet. The texture of this bracelet is not good.
How can good jewelry be put on the street and sold?
When browsing just now, Ye Junmei obviously liked this bracelet very much, but after repeatedly picking it up and watching it, he put it down again.
Ye Junsheng saw this scene in his eyes, regardless of his sister's objections, he only roughly repaid the price, bought it, and put it on Ye Junmei's wrist with his own hands.
"Brother, how can this be ......?"
Ye Junmei has always been a jingchai cloth skirt, showing her face plainly, and she has never worn any ornaments. Now that my brother did not hesitate to spend half of his savings to buy a jade bracelet for himself, he couldn't help but be moved and anxious.
Ye Junsheng smiled: "It's okay. "Keep walking.
"Huh?"
As he walked, he suddenly stood still and looked back, glancing, but not noticing.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Ye Junmei asked curiously.
"Nothing. ”
Ye Junsheng replied casually, saying that he vaguely felt that someone was following him just now, but he just observed carefully, and there was nothing unusual, it seemed that he was too careful.
After some wandering, at noon, after eating a bowl of noodles, seeing that it was almost time, the two brothers and sisters began to go out of the city, preparing to return to the Jiang family's boat.
I never thought that just out of the city gate, the climate suddenly changed, and it actually rained in winter, hitting my body, and I felt a chill in my heart.
The two of them did not carry rain gear, so they had to go back to the city, and when they saw that there was a rental carriage, they gritted their teeth, rented one for twenty yuan, and rushed out of the city.
The wheels are rolling around, braving the wind and rain.
The rain came in a hurry just now, and both of them were wet, but fortunately, they were thickly dressed, and the impact was not great. As for the hair, Ye Junsheng is wearing a scholar's scarf, which is a hat that can be protected, but Ye Junmei can't do it, the hair is a little wet, so he simply untie it and spread it wantonly, black and shiny, naturally straight, a few strands hang down on his chest, lining a white face, which has a lazy style.
Listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the canopy, Ye Junsheng sighed: "I didn't expect it to rain today." ”
Ye Junmei smiled: "This season is the time when it is rainy. ”
Indeed, the rain at this time is often compared with the autumn rain, and it is extremely continuous, even for several days.
Listening to the wind and rain, gossiping, time passed quietly.
"Oh, that's not right!"
Ye Junsheng suddenly became vigilant - Dao'an Mansion is not very far from the bank of the Tongjiang River, and it can be reached by walking for about half an hour, why is it not a long time since he took a carriage now?
"Coachman, why aren't you on the dock?"
I heard the coachman reply, "Childe, it is difficult to walk on the road in the rain, so I am a little delayed." ”
Ye Junsheng didn't believe it, and shouted: "You stop, I'll take a look at the environment." As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and looked around.
"Drive!"
The coachman did not obey the command, but whipped his horse vigorously, and the speed of the car increased in vain.
Ye Junsheng was shocked and angry: "Good thief!" rushed forward, to subdue the coachman first.
There was a bang, and at this moment the carriage rushed to a place, rushed in, and then came to a sharp stop, and the sound of the door behind it.
Ye Junsheng threw himself out, and finally saw the surrounding environment clearly, it was actually a high-walled courtyard, and the walls under it were more than two zhang high, bare.
The courtyard is about 100 square meters, empty, a house in the back, the door is closed, and the courtyard gate in front is also tightly closed, forming a trap place with no way out and no way back.
The coachman actually practiced martial arts, jumped on the spot, his body was agile, and finally stood on the steps, holding his chest with his hands, looking at Ye Junsheng and sneering.
Ye Junsheng shouted: "Who are you to trick us into coming here?"
The man said proudly: "A certain surname is Su, and it is the Peng family's nursing home." ”
Peng's family?
Ye Junsheng came to his senses: "You came here at the behest of Peng Qingshan?"
Su Huyuan laughed and said: "The second young master of my family is an official of the imperial court, how can he do such a thing." ”
Ye Junsheng is not a stupid person: "It turned out to be Peng Qingcheng, what do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do?"
Su Huyuan laughed: "When the eldest young master arrives in a while, you will naturally be able to know." He is going to the feast now, and he will come here at dusk. In the meantime, I advise you to stay in the carriage and enjoy the last peaceful moments. Don't try to call for help, or run away, this Zhuangzi is built in the middle of nowhere, even if you scream in your throat, no one will hear you. ”
He was full of confidence, looking at the Ye family brothers and sisters, just like looking at two people waiting to die.
"Brother!"
Flying into trouble, Ye Junmei couldn't help but panic and grabbed his brother's clothes.
"Jun Mei, there is a brother here, don't be afraid. ”
Ye Junsheng said calmly, his eyes patrolled the ground, and found that there was a dry branch the thickness of a finger, but it was only half a foot long, and then picked it up and held it across his chest, like a peerless swordsman, picking up a sword that had been with him for many years. It's just that on the dead branches, muddy water keeps dripping.
"Jun Mei, go back to the carriage, my brother will protect you. ”
When the Su Nursing Institute heard this, and saw Ye Junsheng's serious appearance, he was stunned at first, and then laughed heartily, laughing until his stomach hurt. He has read a lot of people, but he has never met such a stupid person in his life, let alone heard such childish words, which is really funny.
However, in his sight, the naturally beautiful girl really sat back in the carriage very calmly, without screaming, without panic - there is no need to be afraid of her brother!
