477 Self-inflicted
"Cardinal, how long will it take to walk home from here?" Lu Shu asked suddenly.
"If you go back to Miss, it will take half an hour on weekdays, but now it is raining heavily and the roads are muddy, at the speed of Miss, it will take at least an hour." When the cardinal said this, he said with concern: "Miss, you haven't lost yet, don't be in a hurry to ask this." ”
"Yes, I asked for my good sister."
The master and servant sang and harmonized, Cui Yufang couldn't understand anything, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and soon, a subtle sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she quickly said: "It's only half of the time now, and it's not certain who loses and who wins." ”
Hong Feng has passed, and he is still holding on, Lu Shu is not angry, but waits for time to pass with a relaxed face.
When half an hour comes, let's see what else she has to say.
"What's that black pressure on it?" Lu Shu suddenly pointed in the direction of the upstream and said with some surprise.
The cardinal squinted upwards and said in surprise, "It's all big trees, why are there so many trees in the river?" ”
When there is a flood, it is not uncommon for trees near the river to be washed into the river, but there are also too many trees in the river, and there are as many as twenty or thirty trees in the black press.
What happened?
Cui Yufang aimed her eyes at Chunmei, who nodded slightly.
"It's nothing, it is estimated that it will collapse somewhere, and if it falls, it will fall into a large area." Cui Yufang said lightly.
The flood was flowing very fast, and soon, the trees, driven by the floodwood, roared down from the upper reaches and rushed forward in all directions.
"Bang" "Bang"
Some trees were driven by the flood and hit the piers hard, some continued to flow away after a hit, and some were blocked by the piers and blocked in front of the piers, and soon, there were trees in front of the two piers, and the trees blocked all kinds of debris in the flood, and for a time it seemed that the river was blocked a lot.
The cardinal's eyes were very sharp, and he soon noticed that there was something strange in them, and attached to Lushu's ear and said, "Miss, it's not good, someone is secretly doing evil, look at the broken bones of those trees." ”
Under the reminder of the cardinal, Lu Shu immediately put his eyes on the broken hole of the wood, sure enough, the broken mouth was very neat, it was deliberately cut by someone with a sharp blade, if it collapsed naturally, the break would not be so neat.
At this time, the cardinal whispered: "When Chunmei took the shawl for Miss Yufang just now, after a few words with the coachman, after Chunmei came back, the coachman disappeared, and the slave thought he went to the toilet, but now it seems that he was the troublemaker." ”
Lu Shu's face suddenly turned cold, and she said coldly: "Sister Hong, I remember that this piece of land, including the woods, belongs to our three rooms, you go and take a look." ”
The flood peak has passed, the bridge pier has withstood the test, and suddenly there are more trees and other debris hitting the bridge pier, which will cause a lot of pressure on the bridge pier, especially those trees and debris that are blocked by the bridge pier, and will also increase the impact of the flood on the bridge pier.
It's hateful, it was Cui Yufang who made the bet first, and he was about to win, Cui Yufang actually resorted to such obscene means in order to win, those bridge piers, but the young master's hard work, Lu Shu was furious on the spot.
The cardinal answered, grabbed a hat and put it on his head, and disappeared into the rain in a flash.
"Good sister, where are you slave? Running so fast? Cui Yufang asked with some uneasiness.
Lu Shu stared at Cui Yufang and asked, "My good sister, where is your coachman, where did he go?" ”
"This, this, I don't know, I guess I went to the thatched house, these field slaves, they will be lazy, go back and see how I clean him up." Cui Yufang said with some humility.
"Oh, that's a coincidence," said Lu Shu lightly, "the cardinal is also going to make it convenient." ”
Cui Yufang wanted to say something, but opened her mouth and didn't say anything in the end.
Lu Shu sneered, and didn't talk to her anymore, but focused on where the bridge pier was.
Maybe Zheng Peng noticed the situation, waved people with bamboo poles, long sticks and other things to dredge, and some people dragged trees and debris close to the shore to the shore, seeing this situation, Lu Shu couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
It is good to find out the situation, so that the safety of the bridge piers is also guaranteed.
After looking at it for a while, the cardinal came back, winked at Lu Shu slightly, and then stood very quietly behind Lu Shu, and whispered, "Miss, half an hour has arrived." ”
"Have you arrived?" Lu Shu asked rhetorically.
Cardinal said with certainty, "Miss, it's here." ”
Lu Shu turned her head and said to Cui Yufang: "Sister, my maid said that the time has come, and my little sister doesn't know if it has arrived, you have the final say, if it doesn't arrive, let's wait a little longer, don't worry." ”
"No, you won." Cui Yufang said with a cold face.
Dozens of trees hit the piers, and they all heard a loud impact sound, but it didn't work at all, and they couldn't see how much damage the piers were, at least they couldn't see with the naked eye, and the flood had slowly receded, less than half of the flood peak, not to mention waiting for a while, just waiting for another day, and the piers couldn't fall.
Another point, in addition to driving the car, the coachman Ma Liu is also a part-time job to protect his own safety, which is a rare good hand, but he has been out for so long, and the cardinals of Lushu have returned, and he has not come back yet, Cui Yufang is a little nervous, and he is restless.
The overall situation has been decided, even if you want to admit defeat.
Lu Shu continued to ask, "I believe my sister still remembers the bet, right?" ”
"Although I, Cui Yufang, am a daughter, I will never break my word when I say it, you will take the horse away, and I will walk home." Cui Yufang said through gritted teeth.
Cui Yufang, who is proud in her heart, also disdains to be untrustworthy, especially when she takes the lead in doing something.
It was expected that there would be an error, but it was still convincing.
Speaking of this, he glanced at Lu Shu and Cardinal with some hatred, and suddenly said coldly: "Chunmei, let's go." ”
Chunmei saw that Cui Yufang was leaving, and said a little anxiously: "Miss, it's raining so heavily..."
Before the words were spoken, there was a crisp sound of "pop", and Cui Yufang raised her hand and slapped Chunmei's face hard, this slap was fast, powerful and heavy, and Chunmei's face had five finger marks on the spot.
Cui Yufang said coldly: "Miss Ben is letting you go, when will it be your turn to make irresponsible remarks, and if you dare to say more, you will tear your mouth apart." ”
Chunmei was startled, she didn't dare to say anything, she followed Cui Yufang in fear, and the master and servant looked at the carriage and went straight to the house.
There's still a long way to go.
Cui Yufang's words were cold and ruthless, and the kind of killing ruthlessness made Lu Shu and the cardinal not know what to say, so they could only watch her leave, however, when the stubborn Yufang just walked down the Moon Pavilion, her feet suddenly slipped, and the whole person fell into the mud river pool with a "snap", and the maid Chunmei was startled and hurriedly went to help her.
Lu Shu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Relieved, it's really relieving, Cui Yufang came here, she was already bad-hearted, and even Zheng Peng could say that he had killed too much and was sent by heaven, and he also sent someone to deliberately chop wood into the river to break the bridge pier, and more than once touched Lu Shu's reverse scales, seeing Cui Yufang unlucky, Lu Shu was very relieved, and couldn't help laughing.
After being helped up, Cui Yufang hit Chunmei madly, Chunmei didn't dare to fight back, and apologized again and again, after some tossing, the oil umbrella was broken, and the two owners wore tattered hats and robes, and walked in the rain very embarrassed.
Should!
The cardinal whispered, "Miss, let them go back?" It's not close, and it's raining heavily. ”
"I am willing to gamble and lose, if I lose, I will definitely go back, this good cousin of mine, will not give hands, but also ridicule and ridicule us, this is called heaven is evil, it is forgivable, people are evil, can not live, she asked for herself." Lu Shu said unmoved.
Speaking of this, Lu Shu couldn't help but ask, "Sister Hong, have you found someone?" ”
"I found it, it's really Miss Yufang's coachman's ghost, near Hubu Stone, cut down all the trees near the river, and let the slave maid take it."
"What about people? Why don't you see anyone? ”
Cardinal whispered: "Bring him back, Miss Yufang will definitely not give up, and it will be difficult for the young master to do it at that time, the slave maid knocks him out and hides him, and then he will be handed over to the old Fuzong of the big house to deal with, Miss, don't worry, he can't run." ”
"Okay, these things, then there is Sister Lao Hong."
"Don't dare, this is what a slave should do." Cardinal said respectfully.
Lu Shu pointed in the direction of the construction site and said, "Look, Huang San took people here, it must be that the young master also found that the wood was wrong, and sent someone to check, Sister Hong, let's go, so as not to make it difficult for you." ”
Cardinal was a little moved, but still nodded and said, "The pier is fine, we should go back, and it's not good for people to see." ”
"By the way, don't remember to take the horse of Cui Yufang's carriage away, it's not cheap for her." Lu Shu suddenly remembered and immediately added.
