The mountain wind howled, and the fire burning on the ground crackled.
The old man struggled on the ground for a long time, then he sat up and slapped his thigh in anger, shouting: "Who! Mr. Li, come quickly, someone is causing trouble. If this delays my casting, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Then there was a heavy running sound from behind, just like a wild boar galloping.
"Which turtle son dares to ruin my good deeds!"
Mu Qingyun listened to the sound of wind in his ears, picked up the shivering girl on the ground with his backhand, grabbed the still panting Xia He, lightly stepped on the ground, and flew up to the treetops.
Xia He's eyes widened and his heart was pounding.
Although she was just a maid, she entered the Hou Mansion when she was seven years old. As soon as she entered the house, she was spotted by the old lady beside her and was chosen to be her apprentice. She is seventeen years old this year, ten years. Over the years, her temperament has been polished to be very stable and tactful, and she can be said to be calm about changes, but today she almost failed.
At this moment, when the cousin floated up, she seemed to have returned to that day again and saw the fairy leaning down between the clouds.
With such grace and calmness, she actually didn't see through the true nature of the cousin girl for so many years, and only regarded her as an ordinary weak woman.
Fortunately, she was always kind to others and respected her cousin. Even if it was just superficial respect, it was many times better than those unruly slaves.
Mrs. Liu chased after her, but she was still far away. She stumbled every step she ran. When she saw her son coming out of the Moon Gate of Wutong Garden, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Li Dashun, this bastard, has gone off to enjoy himself somewhere, so he can't even look at his son!
The baby bump in Mrs. Liu's family was born when she was almost thirty years old. This one must be her darling. In this village, the couple doted on their son to the heavens. She also knew that her son It was very unseemly to be spoiled by her.
In the past, there was no master in Zhuangzi. She, Lao Li, and their son could be the masters of the house. Even if the son was more arrogant, no one would dare to cause trouble. But now that such a cousin has come, it is inevitable. A little guilty.
Li Goda was huge and had a ferocious look on his face. He raised his foot and kicked the big tree next to him. He hit it and threw himself at it: "Come down, come down. Niu Xiaolan, if you dare not come down, I will kill your whole family. You are so sad." Menxing is the only one who has ruined my luck, so I would like to change your luck with my kindness, so that you don’t have to worry about having a girl in your belly!"
When the girl heard this, she shivered several times, sobbed, covered her stomach, closed her eyes and leaned on the branch of the tree with tears rolling down her face, and started crying miserably.
"How dare you howl? Try howling again?"
Li Goda kicked the tree again.
Mu Qingyun supported the girl and Xia He, but remained motionless. He stared at Li Qida coldly. His sleeves shook slightly, and there was a roar. A phoenix sculpture in the Wutong Garden next to him suddenly collapsed, and the crest fell off with a bang. He came down and hit Li Goda on the back of his head.
Mrs. Liu saw the blood on the back of her son's head burst from a distance. She rolled her eyes and fell to the ground: "Son!"
Mu Qingyun smiled and whispered to the girl next to him: "Did you disturb the little lady? Don't worry, I will take you to see the doctor right away."
With that said, she supported the girl with one hand and held Xia He with the other, and landed lightly in front of the Moon Gate of Wutong Garden. She took a look inside and saw several cleaning servants secretly hiding in various corners to look over.
Mu Qingyun first found a nearby room, put the girl down, checked her pulse, and said with a smile: "You have good health and your child is fine, don't worry."
This is absolutely true. The girl's body is very healthy, her arms are very strong, and although she is thin, she is very strong. Although there are traces of injuries everywhere on her body, the child is still stable in her belly. Drink a pair of anti-fetal pills, eat a few good meals, and after a good rest, you will be a healthy and beautiful girl again.
After comforting the girl for a few words, Mu Qingyun said to Xia He casually: "Steward Li and the family named Liu are all servants of the Hou Mansion, so I won't overstep my bounds. Xia He, please inform the Hou Mansion of the coming people. Take them all away, as well as this list, they are all uncles, I can’t afford them, and I ask the old lady to arrange them herself.”
Xia He took the paper handed over by Mu Qingyun, looked at it, and responded calmly, but his heart was in turmoil.
The marks on the paper are clearly marked, including the secret accounts of Butler Li and Mrs. Liu, and the properties they have acquired outside, all in detail.
But for the past three days, Xia He had been following his cousin closely, even with his ears perked up even when he was sleeping. He never noticed that his cousin was interested in Mrs. Liu and Butler Li.
In the past few days, my cousin just ate, drank, had fun, and did nothing. However, she knew them well, which showed that she really seemed to be blessed by gods.
Mu Qingyun, who was blessed by the gods, entered Wutong Garden without any hurry and walked around in a circle. Before she could say anything, Xia He was so angry that his face turned black: "You bastard!"
Just looking at Wutong Garden, it can be seen that Manager Li and Mrs. Liu regard this place as their own.
Living in the main courtyard, using the houses in the warehouse unscrupulously, without even looking at their secret accounts, Xia He also knew how outrageous what these two people did!
Of course Mu Qingyun was not angry. He had nothing to do with her before.
As for the future, regardless of whether the surname is Li, Liu, or Tianwang, I don't want to cause any trouble for her.
The girl who was injured in Li Gedao's hands was named Niu Xiaolan. She was originally the daughter of a nearby farmer. Because of her good looks, Li Gedao fell in love with her and took her back as his concubine.
"He broke my brother's legs and said that if I didn't agree, he would kill my parents, ugh."
Niu Xiaolan was fed a glass of warm water by Xia He and lay on the bed for a long time with her hands covered with quilts. She finally recovered. When she saw Mu Qingyun, she felt grateful, sad and angry. She cried bitterly and was out of breath.
"He is a madman. One year, one whole year, three girls died in Wutong Garden. The madman injured someone and refused to ask a doctor to treat the illness. He also refused to allow me to give them some gold sore medicine. He only wants to invite the magicians to his door."
"If he invites the gods and goddesses in the village, maybe everyone can fight for a way to survive. The goddesses in our village know how to use medicine, but the person he invited actually said that he wanted to cure the disease, use fire to burn it, and use cold water to soak it. , in the middle of winter, he would tie the patient to a tree and spend the night.”
"I watched helplessly as Atui was soaked in cold water, time and time again. At first she begged, but then she ran out of energy and just cried, and then she gradually lost her voice."
These words have obviously been held in Niu Xiaolan's heart for a long time, "Only because I have been farming with my parents since I was a child and have a strong body, can I survive until now!"
