Chapter 704

As the fourth master's words fell, the quiet night outside the courtyard was broken, and in the small courtyard next door, the happy sound of father and son frolicking sounded, Erfu withdrew his hand on the gate of the courtyard with a little disappointment, and sighed faintly: "Why hasn't this girl come back, it's really worry-free!"

"Are you waiting for that girl Yaoqin?" the fourth master muttered uncertainly. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Erfu nodded slightly, looked at the bright moon that had risen from the side of the mountain, and said softly: "The girl said that there is a small village next to this Zhuangzi, and there is a shop in the village that sells oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other commonly used small odds and ends. ”

Actually, what Erfu wanted to say more was to let the fourth master go out to greet Yaoqin, so as not to encounter any trouble on the way for Yaoqin, but she considered the identity and status of the fourth master, so she silently swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, and could only hope that Yaoqin would come back soon, or that the fourth master's honor guard could arrive quickly, so that someone would go out to find Yaoqin, a worried girl.

After many years of getting along, Erfu is a person who can't hide it, where can the fourth master not see what Erfu didn't say, but let the fourth master go to find a palace maid in Yaoqin, the fourth master is absolutely unwilling to do it, but looking at Erfu's uneasy appearance, he still gave in, "The master looks at you and looks good, let's have a rare quiet time, it's better to go out together!"

As he spoke, the fourth master shook off the horsewhip he was holding in his hand.

As if to cooperate, the fast horse tied to the courtyard also let out a long neigh, although Erfu didn't want to be too close to the fourth master, but she remembered Yaoqin's comfort, she still nodded a little together, "The concubine looks at Ya'er is a clumsy person, and the food she wants to make is not much better, so let's go to the big village next to it, maybe we can buy some lo-mei and come back, so that the concubine can stay and fight the tooth sacrifice." ”

"Okay, don't talk to the master, the master promised you.

But it's so late today, don't toss if you're not in good shape, I'll stay with you here for a night, and I'll send you to my own Zhuangzi in Fengtai early tomorrow morning. The fourth master raised his hand to tie the cloak on Erfu's shoulders, wiped the top of Erfu's soft hair with some reluctance, said softly, and pulled Erfu out of the courtyard.

The maid, who was busy in the kitchen, listened to the movement of the courtyard door opening and closing, and hurriedly followed out, only to see Erfu and the fourth master sitting on horseback very intimately, going to the direction of Zhuangzikou's back, tilted her head slightly puzzled, grabbed the hem of her robe and wiped her wet hands, and muttered softly the confusion in her heart:" I really don't understand how the master summed it up, obviously the master feels very sorry for the master, even if he knows that the master is infected with a bad disease, he still cares for the master so much, but why does the master make a fuss to come out of the house, it's really a mess, don't really make trouble at that time, and I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to help the master do this time!"

——————

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

It is said that Yaoqin, who has been worried about Erfu for a while, looked at the cooking smoke floating on the side of the mountain very smoothly, and along the country dirt road stepped out of the village, found the big village that Ke Sanjia talked about, and also found the barefoot doctor who was known as the miracle doctor in the village, and grabbed two pairs of decoctions, but when he returned, he encountered a big trouble.

Because she's lost.

It's not that she doesn't know the way, it's not that she doesn't have a sense of direction, it's really out of the village is a very similar crop field, a few small dirt roads stepped out, it is exactly the same, she stood at the entrance of a few paths and looked, she couldn't see the little Zhuangzi where Erfu lived at all, she could only walk out by feeling, but the walk around was completely lost, but the only thing that was fortunate was that she had not deviated from the right direction, and even touched the road leading to the small Zhuangzi in a daze, but the more she walked, the more she muttered in her heart, and the speed of this walk slowed down。

As the moonlight covered the earth, the gradually rising night wind blew through the treetops on both sides of the roadside, making bursts of rustling sounds, mixed with a few whispers of wild birds returning to the nest, Yaoqin, who was already hairy in her heart, was even more afraid, and always felt that someone was following her behind her.

"What the hell is this place, why don't you even have a figure, you can't even ask for a reason. Fear to the extreme is anger, Yaoqin walked on the road without people, wiped the fine sweat on her head, gathered the small burden that slipped off her shoulders, she had always been steady and kicked the gravel, cursed, and before the words fell, she heard a sound of horses' hooves behind her.

The dense sound of horses' hooves, like the sound of heavy drums, made Yaoqin, whose heart beat faster, panicked all of a sudden, she stood in place and hesitated for a moment before hiding behind a tree on the side of the road, only revealing a small head, trying to widen her eyes, wanting to see the identity of the person who came, thinking in her heart, if she met a neatly dressed officer and soldier, she would run out for help, after all, she was a serious subordinate of the clothed palace maid, those people would never see her so lost, but if she ran into others, she would only ask for more blessings.

Just as she was in such a dilemma, and her heart was half surprised, a group of people on fast horses galloped past the tree where she was hiding without hesitation.

It turned out that when she was worried about her own safety, she neglected a problem about speed, and the group of people who were busy rushing didn't think that they would avoid people on the side of the road, and on the flat and straight road, this fast horse galloping at full speed was not much slower than a speeding car.

Yaoqin missed the opportunity to call for help in this hesitant moment, and when she remembered to shout for help and ran to the middle of the road, the more than ten people who ran by on fast horses had already disappeared at the end of the road.

"Hey, it's really unlucky!" caught up in the middle of the road, ate a mouthful of gray Yaoqin in vain, spit two mouthfuls of spit, cursed and could only accept his fate and continue to walk forward, thinking that no matter what, if she walked further, she would always meet a small village, and when the time came, she asked for directions, and she would find it back.

In other words, who is the person who passed by Yaoqin at this time!

In this era, fat and healthy fast horses are like Rolls-Royces like famous cars, this kind of small place in the wilderness, such a team of people riding fast horses suddenly appeared, the identity is naturally self-evident, this team of more than ten people passing by Yaoqin is the escort team left behind by the fourth master.

The fourth master and Erfu, who had just come out of Zhuangzi and asked the way, also got on the road as soon as they got together.

"Yaoqin, that girl is walking to the village to buy things, shouldn't she go around the main road, let's go from the mainland like this, will we go to a fork in the road with her!" Erfu straddled the bumpy horse, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around the waist of the fourth master, looked at the heavier and heavier night, stuck to the fourth master's ear, and muttered softly.

"It doesn't matter, the village is not far from Zhuangzi, let's run over from the main road, it won't take much time, if we meet Yaoqin, if we don't meet Yaoqin, let's go directly into the village and ask, she is a girl's family to buy things, and she is a living person, someone will always notice her, and then we will go back from the side of the path, no matter what, we will not go wrong with her." The fourth master grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, paced the fast horse with broken steps, and said without looking back, and at the same time grabbed the small hand that Erfu held around his waist with the other hand and clasped it tightly, so he knocked the stirrup and ran off the horse.

Yaoqin was not far from Xiao Zhuangzi at this time, so the fourth master and Erfu turned on the road for a while and met the escort team who rushed from the direction of the capital, the fourth master hurriedly restrained the horse, looked at the escort leader who turned over and dismounted the horse and saluted, raised his hand, and asked in a deep voice: "Did you meet Yaoqin's girl on the road?"

"Uh...... The slave didn't meet it!" The guard commander is under the Zhengbai Banner, and he is also a trusted one of the fourth masters, who often goes in and out of the fourth master's mansion, and also has some memories of the Yaoqin girl beside Fang Fujin, although he can't understand why the fourth master asks this, but he still quickly gave an answer.

When Erfu, who was sitting behind the fourth master, heard this, he was in a hurry, and he hurriedly pulled the belt of the fourth master, and said urgently: "What can I do, this girl has been out for so long, won't she really encounter any accidents!"

With Erfu's words, the commander of the guards who knelt on the horse and saluted, only then did he find Erfu behind the fourth master, and hurriedly added a greeting, and before his words fell, he heard that in his memory, the fourth master, who had always been serious and majestic, actually replied in a particularly gentle tone: "Don't worry!

It just so happened that they were all here, so I asked them to find someone, and they wouldn't let Yaoqin's girl have an accident. After speaking, the fourth master used a tone that he was very familiar with, and ordered the escort team to find someone.

When the Commander of the Guards heard this, he quickly raised objections.

He really didn't mean to find embarrassment for Erfu, but his job was to protect the personal safety of the fourth master, and now that it was dark, and he was in the wilderness, he really didn't feel at ease when he disbanded the defense work of the escort team to find someone.

Although the security in the suburbs of Beijing is good, it is not without the slightest danger, especially now that he is on the errand of checking the tax situation of the salt administration in Jiangnan, many people are hoping that something will happen to him now, and it is not ruled out that someone will take risks, so he did not refute the suggestion of the commander of the guard.

It's just that he was silent for a while, and he felt that Erfu's arm around his waist stiffened, and he understood that Erfu was thinking about Yaoqin, so his heart softened, and he gave an answer, "You and Ha Wu stay, and the others will go along the path to find someone." After speaking, he didn't give the guard commander a chance to speak again, so he kicked the stirrup directly, drove the horse around the guard commander Li Jiaminglei, and passed the way the escort team came.

Li Jiaminglei sighed helplessly, got up and looked at the back of the fourth master and Erfu leaving, hurriedly greeted the deputy, and after a few simple explanations, he called Ha Wu, turned over and chased after him.

The moonlight is like a flower, the shadows of the trees are swaying, if it is usually in such a situation, the man and woman sit on a fast horse, sing and walk slowly, it must be a very pleasant and sweet feeling, but now the fourth master is urged by Erfu to speed up again and again, only to feel that the warm night breeze hit his face like a knife, and even breathing is already a little difficult, so he slowed down after running less than half a mile," This can't be done, if something really happens to Yaoqin's girl, let's run all the way over, it won't be visible, it's better like this, let's walk slowly, you look at the left, Ye looks at the right, so as not to miss Yaoqin. ”

"Alright then!"

Erfu also knew that her actions just now were not very rational, and she nodded when she heard the fourth master say this, but she looked even more anxious between her eyebrows, but fortunately, such a tormented mood did not last long, because she soon heard Yaoqin's cry for help.

In the night wind, Yaoqin's cry for help was very ethereal and fragmented.

However, Erfu, who had been concentrating on looking for Yaoqin, still caught the slightest wisp of sound, she hurriedly told the fourth master to stop the horse, listened for a while, pointed to the cornfield next to the road, turned over and dismounted, and said anxiously: "Listen, Yaoqin's voice seems to come from over there!"

"No, it won't!"

The fourth master was stunned and stopped for a moment, but he didn't hear the Yaoqin cry for help that Erfu said, but when Erfu was too nervous and had auditory hallucinations, he also followed Erfu's movements, turned over and got off the horse, stretched out his hand and grabbed Erfu who was about to run into the cornfield, and called Li Jiaminglei and Ha Wu to light the torch in the horse's backcoat, and then grabbed Erfu's little hand with one hand, and plucked the obstructive corn leaves with the horsewhip with the other, and walked into the dense cornfield.

"Yaoqin!Yaoqin!Are you here, I'm the master!" Erfu roared at the top of her voice as soon as she entered the cornfield, but she felt that her voice was a little small, and she also pulled the fourth master, and asked the fourth master to let Li Jiaminglei and Ha Wu, who were opening the way in front, help greet her.

The fourth master nodded helplessly and commanded.

He found that it was only at this time that this Nizi relied on him the most, so he also followed Erfu and called Yaoqin's name.

In an instant, the silent cornfield was lively.

Accompanied by the croaking of frogs, the four of them staggered to the depths of the cornfield, here is a cornfield that has been crushed, in the corner, you can also see the shredded fabric fragments, Erfu only glanced at it and shook off the big hand of the fourth master, and rushed to a corn stalk in three or two steps, it was a very ordinary embroidered shoe, but it was a thick-soled embroidered shoe that could only be worn by a clothed palace maid.

"This is Yaoqin's!" Erfu looked back at the fourth master with tears in her eyes and choked up.

Everything in front of her proves Erf's guess, Yaoqin has encountered an accident, whether it is shredded pieces of clothing or lost embroidered shoes, all of them show that Yaoqin has encountered danger from which side, in this era of chastity is greater, Erf can't think about it, she hopes that everything she sees is an illusion.

Just as she was so annoyed that she wanted to give herself a few slaps, a faint cry for help came from the depths of the cornfield.
