Lu Jing remembered what the peasant woman who cooked for them in the afternoon had mentioned. The woman who married Cui Ergou was the daughter of a homeless family. She was fair, fair, and well-educated.
If nothing else, it should be the porcelain doll girl in front of me.
But no one in the village, including Cui Ergou, knew that the bride had a hobby of raising pets.
And she doesn’t just have one pet, but a large one.
He didn't know what methods she used, but Lu Jing estimated that all the rats within a ten-mile radius were summoned to the village by her.
The moment she went out, rats were coming from all directions.
And these mice who came all the way here definitely don’t want to go back empty-handed.
So they all gathered around the porcelain doll girl, like a group of children waiting for their mother to feed them.
The porcelain doll girl waved her hand, as if to signal them to calm down, and then she turned her head in a circle.
His eyes swept through the rooms around him, and finally stopped at a hut on the right.
That was the residence of an inspector from the Imperial City Department.
I saw the porcelain doll girl walking to the door, reaching out, and gently buttoning the door.
"Who?" Cha Zi in the room was still very alert. After being awakened from his sleep, he did not open the door immediately, but asked first.
"Master, help me!"
The porcelain doll girl messed up her hair on the way over, picked up a sharp stone on the ground, drew several wounds on her arms, and then cried.
But Lu Jing could see clearly that there was no expression on her face when she shouted those words, but tears still flowed from her eyes.
This scene is indescribably weird.
After a moment, the door in front of her opened a crack.
Nachazi looked at the strange woman with pear blossoms and rain in front of him and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"
"The slave was originally a young lady from an official family. However, the place where he lived was attacked by bandits. He was separated from his family when he fled. Now his family is not the real family of the slave. They sold the slave to a man in this village for the price of one acre of thin farmland. A famous slacker.
"However, the lazy man was so lazy that he grabbed a knife and chased the slave after he was drunk. The slave just escaped from the house after he fell asleep.
"Please, Lord, please save me. As long as I can take you out of this pit of fire, I am willing to pledge my life to follow you back to the capital!"
Nachazi couldn't help but swallowed when he heard this.
Although they work as errands in the Imperial City Department and hold an iron rice bowl, they are junior officials at the lowest level and have no rank. In addition, they are doing highly dangerous errands.
Therefore, it is actually not easy to get a wife. Those high-ranking families naturally look down on them, and there are many nobles in the capital. Women from small families and small families, even those with some beauty are more willing to be concubines for the nobles.
Only the rest will have their turn, and they can't win over the petty officials from other yamen.
Therefore, the Imperial City Division was also jokingly called the Bachelor's Yamen.
Now I heard that the daughter of an official family is willing to marry him as his wife, and she is beautiful.
Even if she is not stunningly beautiful, she still has a beautiful appearance. What is even more rare is that she has a unique and otherworldly temperament.
It is impossible to say that you are not moved.
The only thing that Chazi was worried about now was that his boss, Yan Guangbo, would not allow it. After all, strictly speaking, they were still on a business trip, even though the fugitive had been executed.
Moreover, this matter should not be under the control of the Imperial City Manager at the moment.
But on the other hand, he also knew that if he missed this village, there would probably be no store.
With his status, it is almost impossible to find such a good wife next time.
Na Chazi was in a dilemma when he raised his head and saw the pleading look on the woman's face. At this moment, even a hard-hearted person could not say the word "rejection".
His head was hot and he was about to open his mouth to agree, but then a voice rang in his ears, "Don't agree!"
Nachazi recognized the voice of Lu Shaoxia.
But the woman in front of him seemed to have ignored the voice, still looking at him expectantly.
Nachazi was also an old man, and he immediately realized that this sentence must have been reached by Lu Jing through secret room sound transmission or something like that.
This also made him feel horrified. You must know that the huts where the two of them lived were quite far away from each other. They were already beyond the scope of the secret room. Lu Jing could send the sound from such a far away place. With his inner strength, It's really scary.
Then he heard Lu Jing continue to give instructions, "Please ask her to leave. Remember to be polite."
Although Nachazi was a little reluctant to give up, he knew that Lu Jing would not take the target lightly, so after hearing this, he still said, "I'm sorry, girl, I can't control your affairs. You can try to report to the official in the city."
"It's already so late now, and I can't run to the city like this. Can you let me stay in your house for one night?" The porcelain doll girl continued to beg.
Na Chazi only felt upset for a while, and he had the intention to shut the other party out as Lu Jing said.
However, when his eyes fell on that smooth and white face, especially those eyes that were like a deep pool, he felt like his whole body was falling into it.
Other things no longer mattered. As long as he could marry the woman in front of him, he was willing to pay no matter how much it cost.
So the next moment he finally said what he had wanted to say for a long time, "Okay, I am willing to marry you, and we will go back to the capital together."
After saying this, he reached out and opened the door, wanting to welcome the woman into the house.
But then a flying stone hit his head. In pain, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the flying stone.
But he finally looked away from the woman's face.
The whole person suddenly woke up as if from a dream, pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted, "Where did the witch come from!"
When Lu Jing saw him pulling out the knife, he felt that something was about to happen.
Sure enough, the next moment, there was a squeaking scream in his ears, which was terrifying.
Seeing that the porcelain doll girl was in trouble, the mice that had swarmed before seemed to be stimulated, and their red eyes gushed out from all corners.
And this time they no longer queued up to wait for food, but instead took the initiative to crawl into each house.
Na Chazi probably also guessed that these mice were related to the woman in front of him, so he thought of catching the thief first, so he swung his long knife and slashed at the porcelain doll girl.
But then I saw the woman tiptoe slightly backward, and her whole body flew out.
And almost at the same moment, countless rats ran out from the door beams, the floor and the walls and rushed towards him.
Nachazi had already raised his long sword in the air, but there were too many mice that he couldn't hold back.
He couldn't take care of it at all. These rodents living in the dark usually didn't dare to see people, but tonight for some reason they all went crazy.
Biting everywhere, Nachazi was bitten on his toes and calf in just a few moments. He stretched out a hand to drive away the rats on his legs, but he didn't expect that as soon as he pinched one, he was hit by more rats. Biting his hand.
In just a short while, his body was covered with rats, and he couldn't help but slash the knife in his hand back at himself because of the pain.
But even if the rats' bodies were broken open, their mouths would still hold on tightly.
After a while, the seriously injured Chazi fell to the ground and could no longer stand up.
