Fei Nu never came back, Ah Hui went to learn to drive, and the Willow Alley became deserted for a while. Hua'er's right eye twitched because she couldn't find Fei Nu anywhere. Grandma comforted her: "Fei Nu is dead, what's going to happen? He went to seek a living, and I'm sure he'll be back before New Year's Eve."
The cicada returns home late. Teruya went to pick her up before the watch, but she kept avoiding him and refused to talk to him.
"Do you blame me?" Zhaoye asked her.
She nodded and shook her head, then shed tears: "Brother Zhaoye, I don't blame you, I blame myself. If I hadn't asked you to go out that night, my third brother wouldn't have been lost. My mother is crazy, what should I do? All my anger is gone.”
Xian Chan always couldn't sleep at night, and when he closed his eyes, he was like his little third brother. Some people say that the purpose of stealing children is to sell them to high-ranking officials in the capital. The women are brought up to be young, while the men are directly stewed in soup for nourishment. The third brother is not full from snacks and only has a round face. What nourishment can be gained from his bone stew?
That night, she pulled Zhaoye and kissed her over and over again in that dark room. The taste of wine from her lips was sucked away by him, and she sucked it back again. One mouthful of honey made the wine she had eaten flow in her blood. They didn't dare to do anything else, they just hugged him tighter and tighter. She was pressed against him, sometimes she wanted to get closer, and sometimes she was so scared that she ran away.
Zhao Ye had long said that he would go back, but she was the one holding her back and not letting him go. She had never drunk before, and she had never had such courage. She didn't want to look at him secretly anymore, she just wanted to press her face against his and kiss him.
Because she was greedy, her third brother was lost.
Zhaoye felt uncomfortable and blocked her way, saying sadly: "Xianchan, you shouldn't blame yourself, we should blame those who stole the third brother. I will find him, no matter the ends of the world, I will get him back." "
"Brother Zhaoye who can't be found, the third brother may have been turned into stew and served at a banquet of a powerful family." Xian Chan shook his head: "I just, I just... just give me some time!"
Zhaoye couldn't bear to push her anymore, so he had to take a step back. She walked in front, and he followed behind, all the way from Mofang back to Willow Lane.
Seeing the two of them like this, Hua'er wanted to give some advice, but was afraid that her good intentions would lead to bad things, so she just gave the extra money to Xianchan: "Xianchan, take it."
Xianchan pushed the money back to her and took out a small money bag from Du's sleeve, which contained more than a hundred coins.
"Where did it come from?" Hua'er asked.
"Second Master rewarded me. He said that my ink was the best." Xianchan rehearsed these words in her mind a hundred times, and now she could no longer see any flaws in her words.
"Lao Er Bai is so kind-hearted? Didn't he ask you to do anything else?" Hua'er felt something was wrong. Bai Lao Er was so shrewd and always had a plan for people. Even if he treated his servants well and generously, he would not reward them with more than a hundred coins. reason. How much she suffered from him!
Hua'er pushed Zhaoye out of the door and asked Xianchan in a low voice, "Then Bai Laoer didn't do anything to you, right?"
"What?" Xian Chan asked.
Hua'er stamped her feet anxiously: "It's Mr. Bai! He said he has many women! In his house outside! Is he going to do something to you?"
Xianchan suddenly realized and comforted Hua'er: "No, don't worry, Mr. Bai doesn't like the girls in Yanzhuo City." In order to make Hua'er not anxious, she told Hua'er what Master Mo said: "Bai Erye doesn't like the girls in Yanzhuo City." The second master is traveling all over the country. What girl has he not seen? It is said that the only one he misses in his heart is Ye Huachang. What is said about him in the public is all false. He has never raised a woman, not even one. He is not good at that. Mo The master also said that Mr. Bai was sincere to Miss Ye and said that if he raised a woman, he would feel that he was not worthy of Miss Ye."
Hua'er was doubtful: "Seriously?"
Xian Chan nodded: "Seriously. After Master Mo said it, I also secretly observed that Mr. Bai was followed when he came in and out by an eagle. As for what happened in his house, I have never seen it..."
"I've seen it before." Hua'er waved her hand: "The Bai Mansion, even with the red lanterns hung, is like a coffin, gloomy! What good girl is willing to enter the Bai Mansion! And that old man Bai is cruel and ruthless. He will never look back again. You accidentally tortured the girl to death!"
She felt relieved, but still gave the money to Xianchan: "You take it and use it. When you become the top female scholar, you can give it back to me in multiples."
"Women are not allowed to read books..."
"What if there is a change of dynasty?" Before Hua'er finished speaking, Xianchan hurriedly covered her mouth: "My ancestors, you don't want to say that outside! You will lose your head!" She wanted to say something to Hua'er, but she thought of Master Mo. If he said anything, he would not say anything for fear of bringing disaster to Hua'er.
"I have to go to work!" Hua'er went to see Aunt Wang before she left, and she was sleeping soundly.
Several people left Willow Alley and went to the Yamen to collect their things. Zhaoye didn't want to talk because of the cicada. As soon as I set out, I was called away by people from the Yamen, saying that they wanted to review a detailed work overnight.
"I can do it on my own." Ah Hui said to Hua'er, "You don't have to shout. It's too tiring to shout like that at the dock during the day."
Hua'er cleared her throat and said, "I'll shout in the front street of Baifu." She had a very naughty temperament and always got angry at Bai Qiling. She secretly wanted to make him angry. She knew that he had a good ear but could not sleep well all day long, and she felt happy in her heart by deliberately disturbing his good sleep.
Hua'er was shouting outside, and Bai Qiling sat up from the bed in a fit of excitement, shouting: "Hai Ying! Didn't we stop her from being called? Shut up!"
"yes."
Haoying walked out and reached the door, but saw the group of people suddenly dropped their things and started chasing someone. Haoying asked General Heng to follow him to see the situation, while he went back to resume his life.
"Are you holding the child?" Ah Hu asked Hua'er.
"Yes! I heard a baby crying!"
On such a night, the cry from the thick swaddling clothes suddenly reached Hua'er's ears. They took the yamen and chased them. During the curfew, the streets were deserted. The two thieves in front of them were running wildly on the broad snowy ground, wearing black clothes and black trousers. They were very frightening. Gradually they distanced themselves, and Hua'er shouted to Ah Hui and the yamen servant: "Go after me! Leave me alone!"
But the yamen officer stopped after a few steps and bent down to catch his breath with his hands on his knees. Hua'er pushed them: "Hurry up and chase! That's a child thief! If you chase him, you'll get the credit and the reward!"
The officer looked a little uncomfortable, waved his hand and said: "I can't chase you anymore, I can't chase you anymore."
This look was caught by Hua'er, and she thought to herself: It's over, as Bai Qiling said: He can't control this matter. Thinking of this, I felt a chill. Hua'er had already run away, and Hua'er was worried that something might happen to him, so she chased after him. A person next to him jumped out and left a message: "Go find Mr. Bai!"
She took a hard look and figured out that the man was General Heng. She was slightly relieved and ran back. Passing by the yamen servant, she said bitterly: "You also have close relatives!" When she ran to Bai Mansion, she was speechless and stamped her feet on the ground anxiously. She said to Haoying: "The child thief! He ran away from the city! Humph, you want me to tell Mr. Bai!"
"Are General Heng and Ah Hui chasing him?" Haoying asked her.
"yes!"
Haoying glanced at Bai Qiling and said, "I'll take you with you."
Bai Qiling waved his hand and asked him to go.
After they left, he stepped forward and pretended to hit her. She covered her face and ran away, looking at him in disbelief: "Why did this slave offend the second master again?"
"Did I tell you not to shout in front of my house!"
"oh."
Bai Qiling tried to kick her again, but she dodged again. He knew she did it on purpose. This bitch was full of bad ideas. She usually seemed respectful to him, but when she got the chance, she would annoy him and take revenge. He hasn't slept well these days. Today he drank some medicine and wanted to have a good sleep, but she disturbed him.
He chased and beat her in the room, and she ran away with her head in her arms, banging tables and chairs. He was so angry that he jumped out, grabbed her collar and pushed her to the ground. He sat on top of her, pulled out his belt and tied her hands. His middle coat fell apart. The scars on his body were too hideous. The body was too strong, Hua'er looked stupid and forgot to struggle.
"Let you see!" Bai Qiling suddenly felt uncomfortable and found a piece of cloth to cover her eyes. She struggled hard and said angrily to him: "When you and Miss Ye's family enter the bridal chamber, please don't hold the light! A good girl can be frightened by you. Die! You have a fierce face and scars on your body. Miss Ye family is definitely afraid of you!"
Bai Qiling blocked her mouth and let her moan and writhe on the ground while he went to change his clothes, and when he came out he was already neatly dressed. Hua'er thought that Bai Qiling could be considered a gentleman sometimes. When she talked about him, he actually knew how to avoid suspicion. He was completely different from those disgusting masters who always exposed themselves in front of the girl and would pull her to the bed and molest her whenever he got the chance. Play.
Hua'er is very tired of this world.
She struggled to get to Bai Qiling's legs and rubbed her shoulders against his trouser legs. Bai Qiling said to her: "Get lost."
She rubbed again, whimpered, and asked him to release her mouth.
Bai Qiling threatened her: "Sooner or later I will poison you to silence."
Hua'er squirmed and tried to sit up, but his toes pressed her shoulders and made her lie back down. As for him, he was happily drinking tea and eating snacks, and occasionally glanced at her, as if he was thinking about cutting her into pieces.
Hua'er was completely honest, so Bai Qiling untied her. Hua'er accused him: "You are boring like this. You tie the slave at every turn. The point of a verbal fight is that you come and go. If you can't agree with the slave, then tie the slave. What's the matter? master!"
Bai Qiling's eyes widened: "Who is quarreling with you?" He wanted to deal with her again, but she jumped back: "Is it okay for me to fight with you?" Without waiting for Bai Qiling to give him a seat, he sat down on the footstool and asked him : "Can they catch up? Will anything happen?"
Bai Qiling was too lazy to talk to her and just went to tease her.
Hua'er followed him and continued to ask: "The people in the yamen are too funny. They stopped chasing after half the time. I asked them to catch the person and collect the reward. They don't care about it!"
She deliberately told Bai Qiling, but Bai Qiling finally responded to her: "I told you earlier, I can't control it."
"You can't control it. Is there anyone in Yanzhuo City who can?"
"Who am I? With the Yamen here, is it my turn to take charge?"
"The Yamen doesn't care."
"The yamen doesn't care about me, let alone me."
"Or we should say that government and businessmen protect each other!" Hua'er retorted and said to the bird in Bai Qiling, "Call me grandpa."
Bai Qiling wished he could kill her and tell her to get out and wait, out of his sight. Hua'er stood still, and Bai Qiling asked her as if remembering something: "Are you really afraid?"
"What?" Hua'er was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, she pointed at Bai Qiling's chest: "Did you mean that? Of course I'm scared! The servant is brave, and someone else wouldn't be able to catch him in one breath and faint from shock. Then Miss Ye is a lady. , naturally I don’t like it even more.”
Hua'er deliberately frightened Bai Qiling: "You, please don't light the lamp on the wedding night!"
