Volume 2 Seeking Fang on the Hundred Flowers Continent Chapter 151 Night Encounter
The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the New Year of Qingfeng's three years had arrived. The New Year of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the most solemn festival of the year, from the Yuan Day to the Lantern Festival for half a month, the court holiday, the people celebrate, and various activities emerge in endlessly. In the capital, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty will also sacrifice heaven and earth to visit the long street and enjoy with the people, which can be described as a lot of effort. In the various state capitals outside the capital, although there are no people in the capital to celebrate with the holy royal family, there are also various festive activities to celebrate the prosperity of the Great Zhou.
Hangzhou City is the largest and most prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, and the celebration of the New Year is also indispensable. The temple fairs and lake tours everywhere are booming and lively. What's more appropriate is that since the second day of the Lunar New Year, Hangzhou, which has not snowed for several years, actually had a heavy snowfall.
The New Year's atmosphere of the Lin family is also very strong, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Boyong took the children of the Lin family to worship the ancestors and pray for a prosperous business in the coming year. After that, he went to the Taoist temple to spread charity, and set up a porridge shed to help the people in the government. These are the traditions of large families. In the New Year, they always have to do something eye-catching, and accumulating virtue and doing good deeds is their favorite show. Lin Jue also had to be caught in it, and followed Lin Boyong and others to run around and work non-stop. In my memory, I didn't have to participate in these activities before, but this year, Lin Boyong was obviously unwilling to snub him anymore. Lin Jue naturally won't shirk it, after all, he still has to take the face he gave, and he earned all this by himself.
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, everything finally calmed down a little. Lin Boyong, Lin Ke and others were busy visiting big families and related officials. The New Year period is also the best time to network and build relationships. Although Lin Boyong also said that he wanted Lin Jue to go with him, Lin Jue still politely declined. He is really not accustomed to those occasions where he talks about cooperation and exchange of interests in a naked manner, and he is not interested in business, so he does not want to suffer.
Starting on the fifth day of the new year, the Grand Theater reopened after a five-day hiatus. , Lin Jue took Green Dance to the Grand Theater to watch the premiere of the new play "Save the Wind and Dust". After that, he had a reunion dinner with Xie Danhong, Xie Yingying and dozens of women from the Grand Theater, and personally gave them red envelopes and silver. After pondering for a while, it was nearly two watches. The two of them walked home on snowy grounds.
There are still lights on the long street, but because it is already night watch, the lanterns in front of many shops have been extinguished, and there are only sporadic lights, which illuminate the streets dimly and obscurely. There were hardly any people in the streets, except for the occasional person or two, hurrying past with their heads bowed. It was silent.
Green Dance held a sugar gourd and a candy man in her hand, and jumped in front of her with a ribbon tied in her hair, humming a little song in her mouth, and she was very happy.
Lin Jue smiled: "Green Dance, why are you so happy?" ”
Lu Wu turned around and said with big eyes: "Of course I'm happy, I'm the happiest for the Chinese New Year this year, I feel like I'm back to when I was a child." Look, sugar man, sugar gourd, my favorite thing to eat when I was a kid. ”
Lin Jue's heart moved when he heard this, Lu Wu never mentioned what happened when she was a child, where she was from and where her home was, she never asked.
"Green Dance, do you miss home?"
"Homesick?" Green Dance was stunned and said, "Isn't this my home?" What does Childe mean by this? ”
"I mean, do you remember when you were a kid? There should still be people in your family, where is your hometown? Lin Jue said with a smile.
"I don't remember, I was bought by my mother when I was very young. I was about seven or eight years old at the time, and my memory was very vague. I only remember that it was very cold, my mother took us to Shilanqiao, I was hungry and cried, my mother also cried, my sister also cried, and my brother also cried. Then the mother passed by, and my mother begged the mother, and then I was taken back to the house by the mother. After so many years, I have almost forgotten what my mother looks like. Midori said softly.
Lin Jue felt that he was a little careless, the most caring person around him, he didn't care about her from time to time, and he didn't pay attention to what she was thinking, which really shouldn't be.
"So, you still have younger siblings at home? Do you remember where your hometown is? ”
"I have two sisters and a younger brother. I can't remember where my home is. I just remember that when I was a kid, my family was very good. The house is also big. Dad is very kind, and my mother is also very kind. But somehow, my father died. One night it was so dark, my mother took a few of us in a carriage and left. I don't know how many days I walked, and then I arrived in Hangzhou. My mother cries every day, and I cry too. I don't know if they're still alive. Midori said with her head down.
Lin Jue suddenly felt that he shouldn't ask these things, and it was a bit of a big deal for Lu Wu to ask these things when he was happy. But he hoped to ask clearly, and he could help Green Dance. Since Green Dance remembers these things and remembers some things when she was a child, she should actually have some thoughts in her heart. It's just that she is very well-behaved and never says these things to herself.
"Green Dance, don't be sad. In the spring, let's go to visit and visit, maybe we can find your family. After all, it is a blood relative, and it is always something to look for. If you live a good life, you can rest assured. If life is not good, we can also help it. ”
"Thank you, Childe, Childe is so good to Midori Dance. It's just that even if he finds it, Green Dance won't leave. Childe doesn't want me to leave. ”
"Who said they wanted you to go? You are my Lin Jue's person, even if your family spends money to redeem it, you have to agree to it, and I won't nod. I just want you to worry about it. A person always has to find the root, otherwise the heart will not be steady, just like the rootless ping. ”
"Childe is right, if you can find it, that's the best." Midori was happy.
Lin Jue quipped: "When you were a child, you could afford to eat sugar people and sugar gourds, maybe your family is a big family." Maybe you're an official lady, but I don't know. ”
Lu Wu grinned and said, "Childe don't make fun of me, is there an official lady like me?" I'd rather be a little maid next to my son. ”
Lin Jue was moved in his heart, and pulled Lu Wu into a small alley next to him, holding her cold little face and kissing it. Green Dance just like that, the two kissed for a long time before parting, and Green Dance realized that the sugar man and the sugar gourd in his hand had fallen into the snow, and he was disgusted in a low voice.
Lin Jue whispered a few words of comfort, and pulled her back to the street, when suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps on the dim street, and someone rushed over with the melting snow on the street. Lin Jue was startled, and hurriedly protected Lu Wu to stand in the shadow of the alley to dodge, he was worried that the road was slippery in the snow, so as not to be hit by these few reckless people rushing over.
Several black shadows rushed through the mouth of the alley, and several people were wrapped tightly in black robes all over their bodies, Lin Jue, who was hiding in the shadows, saw it clearly, these people even covered their faces with black cloths, looking like night thieves. Unconsciously tightened in his heart, and frowned.
Several figures rushed through the alley and headed towards the street in front of them, and Lu Wu also saw the strange costumes of these people, leaned on Lin Jue's chest and whispered: "Childe, these people don't look good, why are they still dressed like this in the city?" ”
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "I don't understand either." However, no matter how good the security in Hangzhou is, there are still roosters and dogs, and these guys are a bit like thieves. Regardless of them, in short, don't do our business, this is the business of the Hangzhou government, the more the New Year's Festival, the more they must strengthen public security. ”
Lu Wu nodded nervously and said: "Let's go back to the house quickly, the city has not been peaceful for a while, I heard Sister Hongye say that a few days ago, there were robbers on the side of the Shi Waist River who broke into the Tian family's mansion and robbed a lot of things." The Tian family was almost scared to death, but fortunately they didn't hurt anyone. ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "What I said is, let's go back quickly." ”
Lin Jue pulled Lu Wu and just poked his head out, when suddenly there was a noisy sound of footsteps, and the few black-clothed people who rushed over just now seemed to have turned back again. Lin Jue hurriedly grabbed Lu Wu, and the two of them shrank behind the stone pillar at the entrance of the alley and hid, after all, they didn't want to meet these suspicious people.
"What about people? I saw them on the street just now, why did they disappear in a blink of an eye? ”
"What the hell, Lao Tzu saw them come out of the Grand Theater with his own eyes, and the two of them walked very slowly, why did they disappear in the blink of an eye? Flying into the sky? ”
"Fuck your mother's fart, what's flying away? It must have been in some alley. Damn, you should have done it earlier, but you didn't want to. ”
"Zhao Laosan, what kind of stinky fart are you putting on? Do you think we don't want to? There was a boat unloading at the dock just now, and there were pedestrians on the street, how could you do it? Hangzhou City has been heavily guarded for the past two days, you don't want to get out alive, Lao Tzu still wants to go alive. ”
"Ma Lao Liu, can you bear it, then you say, what now? Where can I find that kid? Blocking the door of his house? During the day, it was discovered that we would not be able to leave. If we can't do anything tonight, we have to take shelter in the city, what do you say? ”
"What else can I do? Let's search along the alley, he won't be able to run far. ”
"Are you fucking crazy? Do you know how many alleys there are in this section of Xihe Street? How many of us want to search? It's just whimsical. ”
“…… So what do you say? ”
"What to do? Count his boy's life great, and let him live a few more days. There's always a chance to get started. Someone from a shop just came out to see us, and I think we should quickly find a place to change our clothes and go out of the city, so as not to cause trouble. Don't fucking steal chickens and rice. ”
"Yes, yes, what the sixth said is that we have to get out quickly, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."
Several black-clothed people were talking in a low voice outside the alley, and Lin Jue and Lu Wu, who were just a stone's throw away, listened to each other word for word. Lu Wu obviously heard that this was a group of gangsters, and her body trembled in fright, and she bit Lin Jue's chest clothes. Lin Jue hugged her body and squeezed her into the corner, making her feel a little safe. The two of them didn't dare to come out, and they shrank like clay sculptures and wood carvings.
