Chapter 18: The Vanishing Wooden Box
Next, the poor young master naturally met Zhang Xiaosheng and his gang, and the hero failed to save the beauty, but gave his life in vain.
When everyone found here, they only saw Zhang Xiaosheng, who was seriously injured and lying on the ground. Zhang Xiaosheng happened to fall in the ashes of the unlucky young master, his clothes were in tatters, although his face was different, but his body shape and age were not bad, and everyone just thought that the young master had changed his face again, not to mention that Steward Zhang also confirmed it, and he did not suspect him, so he hurriedly treated him.
"Young master, you look very much like the old man now, this should be your true face!" The girl in red who spoke, and pinched Zhang Xiaosheng's face with her little hand as she spoke, and she did not wear a mask.
"Cai Meng, don't make trouble, you guessed it right!" Zhang Xiaosheng has now finally figured out that the one who wears red clothes is called Cai Meng, and the one who wears yellow clothes is called Ning Lian. Both of them are very lively personalities, but in comparison, Cai Meng is a little more wild.
"Young Master, don't forget our reward!" Ning Lian also said in harmony.
"Hehe!" Zhang Xiaosheng had no choice but to laugh a few times, what was there for him to be rewarded, thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosheng suddenly thought of something, and asked:
"Meng'er, Lian'er, what was there with me when I was found?"
"Young master, don't worry, Lian'er has helped you clean it up, and she hasn't pulled down a single one. Lian'er seemed to have expected this question, and immediately replied.
"Childe, come, let the slave maid serve you to change your clothes, Childe will go to the guest room to rest first, and Ning Lian will send you to the room in a while. "After that, I have to put on clothes for Zhang Xiaosheng.
"Good. Zhang Xiaosheng is now a little used to such treatment.
......
"This son is also a wonderful person, although he was born in an official family, but he does not have the arrogance of the son of a family, and he is also extremely friendly to his subordinates. If it's an arrogant and domineering son, I'm really not suitable for pretending. But this is not the way to go on after all, I still have a lot of things to do, but I can't delay time, and besides, if the woman who recruited relatives is so impressed by such a handsome guy for me, how can it be good.
But then again, no matter what, that son-in-law also died because of me, if he left like this, his family would definitely be very sad, and the two little girls would definitely ......" Zhang Xiaosheng was lying on the bed, thinking a lot, what to do next, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"Bang, bang!" there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Xiaosheng was about to answer, but another crisp girl came:
"Didn't you tell you that we sneaked in quietly and scared the young master?
Zhang Xiaosheng smiled, it must be a dream, only she would have so many strange ideas.
"Squeak!"
The two maids pushed the door and walked in, and they could see the corners of Cai Meng's slightly pouting mouth, obviously the little girl's plan did not succeed, and she looked a little unhappy.
"Young Master, this is your thing, it's all here!" Ning Lian said softly, and as she spoke, she put a burden on the table and slowly opened it.
"Young master, do you know, although there were almost no clothes on your body at that time, this silk silk was intact and clinging to your chest, and it took a lot of effort for the slave to tear it off!" Cai Meng said, pointing to a piece of silk in the baggage.
"That is, although the slave maid does not have much strength, but she is also a person who has practiced a few martial arts, and she still has some strength, but it took a lot of effort to get it down. Young Master, what is this, so peculiar?" Ning Lian also said.
Zhang Xiaosheng picked it up casually, this piece of silk is a foot square, only the thickness of a piece of paper, it is indeed very soft to start, it is extraordinary, there are only some patterns that seem to be very ancient in the corners of it, but there is a blank in the middle.
What is this, Zhang Xiaosheng wondered in his heart, looking at it like this, maybe it was the thing left by the young master. Thinking so in his heart, his face did not show the slightest surprise, but he didn't explain anything, and put it down gently.
Ning Lian saw that the young master did not answer, maybe it was something important, it was inconvenient to disclose, so she did not ask further, and then explained the origin of other things.
"Childe, this is the family heirloom jade pendant that the master handed over to you before leaving, and it is for the future daughter-in-law. This booklet, looking at the title above, should be Childe's disguise cheats. As for this yellow token, it appears to be a carp on the front and a dragon on the back, which is not known for its function. In addition, there was a crescent-shaped stone, a gray-black clay pot, and three blue pieces of paper, and the slave and maid saw that they were beside the son, so they put them away. Ning Lian knew that Gongzi had just recovered from his injury, for fear that the young master would be confused and forget a little, and explained the origin of everything in detail.
"Young Master, is this also your thing?" Cai Meng said, pointing to the crescent-shaped stone and the gray-black crockpot.
"They look so ordinary, are they really the young master's! I almost threw them away!" said Caimeng.
The crescent-shaped stone has witnessed the turning point of his fate, and he has accompanied him for ten years, carrying it with him every day, and he has already had feelings, but fortunately he did not lose it. Seeing that it was still there, Zhang Xiaosheng's heart warmed.
As for this gray-black crockpot, Zhang Xiaosheng now knows that it must not be ordinary, this is a life-saving thing!
"Little girl, you can't just look at the appearance, this is a special prop, which was passed on to me by the master. In order to deal with the girl's question, Zhang Xiaosheng pulled out the master he had never met, and said secretly in his heart: "Mr. Wan Chang, I am also trying not to show flaws, so I will use your old man's name, you must not blame you!"
"That's the case......" Cai Meng was a little dissatisfied with this answer, his curiosity was not satisfied, and he was a little unhappy.
"By the way, Meng'er, Lian'er, have you ever found a wooden box, about this size? Zhang Xiaosheng hurriedly diverted the attention of the two, and remembered the box passed to him by his parents, so he asked. The gesture of both hands made the two women more aware of its size and shape.
"No, Childe, everything is here!" replied in unison, their tones of affirmation.
"That's it......" Zhang Xiaosheng looked at the firm eyes of the two, knowing that it would be useless to ask any longer, thinking of the locket, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Although the small box has no effect, it is also the only item left by his parents to him, and it is the only thing he misses his parents, and it must not be lost. Why is everything else there, but it just disappears? Zhang Xiaosheng kept pacing on the ground anxiously.
"I remember that when I entered the magic painting, I was still in my arms. Since then, and until now, has been so busy running for my life that I haven't paid attention to it again. Where did you lose it? Could it be that it was lost in the stone room, or was it lost in the process of escaping from the stone room?" Zhang Xiaosheng carefully reviewed his itinerary in the past few days, and found that the scope was too wide, that is, he knew that there was really no possibility of returning to find it now. For a while, I felt very remorseful in my heart.
"Father, mother, the child is sorry for you! But in the child's heart, I will never forget you, you will always be the most important, I will always be proud of you!"
"Oops, wouldn't my identity be exposed with this strange move now!" Zhang Xiaosheng suddenly remembered that there were two girls by his side, and he was shocked.
turned his head to look around, but found that he was the only one left in the room, and the two girls had quietly retreated at some point.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm scared to death, and if I find out, I'll have to run away. Zhang Xiaosheng breathed a sigh of relief, turned to the table again, and carefully observed the items in the baggage again.
