Chapter 259: The Garden in Distress
Zheng was hesitating whether to sit down, and when she saw this scene, she began to envy her for having such a well-behaved and caring daughter.
"Oh, I said this eldest sister, you are really blessed, you have such a filial daughter!" When the woman behind the Zheng family saw it, she praised Lan Yi and said, "You should still sit, your girl is right, it's not good to be tired and sick." Fifth son, go get one for my mother, my old waist can't hold it for a long time. ”
The honest young man in black next to the woman looked at Lan Yi's small stool on the ground, and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Mother, I don't have any money." ”
"Smack!" The woman slapped Han'er on the head, "You elm pimple, didn't you listen to what this girl said, it's borrowed, it's borrowed!" ”
Han'er laughed twice in embarrassment, and looked at Lan Yi hopefully, "I don't know how to tell the store." ”
Lan Yi tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Although it was borrowed, it also cost twenty copper coins." ”
"Twenty?!" The woman looked at the small stool, touched her purse again, and smacked her tongue, "Wu'er, forget it, my mother can still hold it." ”
Lan Yi smiled understandingly, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were frugal, and a bowl of red date and bean porridge was only three yuan, and renting such a small stool would cost twenty yuan, and ordinary people were reluctant to do so.
Zheng also felt that it was expensive, although she knew that her daughter was not short of silver now, but it was not such a flower, "Mother is really not tired, take it back and return it." ”
"Mother, my daughter spent 20 yuan, but 15 of them are rent, and the store will return it to my daughter after returning the stool. Besides, no matter how much. My daughter also wants you to sit. Lan Yi sat down according to Zheng and let her eat porridge.
Zheng sat down uneasily in the envious and hateful eyes of everyone, and quickly ate the porridge and cakes. Lan Yi handed over the bamboo water kettle and asked Zheng to rinse and drink.
"Mother is sitting here, peach, you go to the store to rest, don't walk around."
Lan Yi nodded, returned to the store and sat down to slowly eat porridge to warm her stomach, her eyes looking at Zheng's position. After a while, she saw someone enter the tea shop and ask the store to borrow a stool. The shopkeeper is also a shrewd person, and the rent collected this time has risen to 30 Wen, and then he simply asked his mother-in-law to take the large and small stools of the house to the long queue and shout for the concession. After a while, they all shot and came back with a few copper coins. The other shops followed suit, and as the number of people sitting down gradually increased, Zheng's uneasy heart was relaxed. Sit and rub your sore legs. Suspend fatigue.
After the warm porridge was served, Lan Yi felt alive again, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looking at the flow of people and the spring scenery outside the window, analyzing what happened when she came in.
After the old lady fell ill, her father became even busier, and before they had time to meet to discuss what to do next, Lan Yi wanted to share her father's worries. I thought about analyzing the next things first, and then sorting out the context. Plan your response.
After sitting for about half an hour, Lan Yi got up and rushed to the thatched toilet in the back garden, and ran out after holding her breath to clean up quickly and conveniently, and before she could open her mouth to breathe fresh air, she hit her head on someone else.
"Apologize, the little woman is not..."Lan Yi opened her mouth to apologize, but she was taken into the bush by the other party to cover her mouth and nose and hide.
His hands smell of blood!
Lan Yi forced himself to calm down, wanting to break his hand and look back to see who this tall and sturdy man was. But the other party didn't move at all, lowered his head and whispered in Lan Yi's ear, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I'll let you go back when it's safe later." ”
His low and hoarse voice showed that the master was in a very bad state, and it seemed that he was really avoiding the pursuers, Lan Yi quieted down and nodded obediently.
The other party breathed a sigh of relief, and took Lan Yi to lower his figure and hide as much as possible. Lan Yi motioned for him to let go of himself, the other party hesitated, but refused, Lan Yi was angry, opened his mouth and bit down, but the other party still did not move.
Lan Yi reluctantly let go of her mouth and pointed to the blood stains on the flowers and leaves. He has been bloody all the way like this, and it's no wonder that the pursuers can't find it!
The man followed her fingers and plucked the flowers and leaves and threw them on the ground. Lan Yi frowned, is this okay?
She didn't know that this person was at the end of her crossbow, and she had no power to escape, so she had to hide here.
Lan Yi snapped his fingers again, and the other party hesitated for a moment and threatened, "Don't shout, or I'll kill you!" ”
Lan Yi nodded vigorously before the man let go of his hand. Knowing that he didn't mean to kill himself, Lan Yi was much less afraid, and hurriedly whispered, "Don't take off your coat yet!" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, looking at the beads on Lan Yi's long inky hair, he couldn't speak, he wanted to get out of this little girl, but he didn't want to ruin her reputation.
"No."
Lan Yi rolled her eyes and didn't look back, "If you don't take it off, how can you cover the blood!" ”
The man hesitated slightly, but still took off his coat and wrapped his left shoulder, which had been bleeding, Lan Yi turned around to help him fix the injury, wiped the blood on his arm with a handkerchief, and took him to the small water tank next to the toilet to wash it slightly.
The man let her pull, watching her rapid movements very puzzled. Lan Yi couldn't say why she wanted to help him, she just felt that this person was not a bad person, for her who didn't even want to hurt cats and dogs, helping people in danger seemed to be an instinct, and there was no reason to explain.
After scrubbing it clean, Lan Yi quickly poured the water in the basin into the pit, and then looked up at the man. It's an ordinary public face, such a face will disappear into the crowd and be difficult to distinguish, even if he passes by you a thousand times, you won't remember him, in short, this person's face, the sense of storage is too low.
However, his bright eyes add a bit of heroism to his dull and popular face, coupled with the height that is not inferior to Zhou Weiji, he also looks like a well-known man, Lan Yi suddenly felt that his side face was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
didn't have time to think about it, looking at his stumbling footsteps slightly, Lan Yi took him back to the fragrant bushes in the other corner and hid his body, "No matter what I say later, don't make a sound, understand?" ”
The public-faced man nodded slightly, he was powerless to say anything more.
After a few breaths, I heard a few rubbing sounds, and someone jumped over the wall along the bloodstains and found the edge of the latrine, "Damn, let him run again!" ”
"With such a serious injury, he can't run far, let's continue chasing! The master gave a killing order, if he hadn't been killed while he had received family law, twenty of us would have to die! ”
With such a clear and anxious conversation, Lan Yi couldn't help but tremble, who is this man, why was he chased and killed by so many people, and he must be put to death?
"There's someone there!"
The flowers trembled slightly with her movements, and they were immediately discovered by the two pursuers who saw it, and they pounced on it with a secret weapon. (To be continued......)
