At night, in Dongzhang's small courtyard.
The big table in the back room was moved out, and on the table sat the old gentleman who was 'dressed up' to attend, the female escort Tian Zhen in a smart outfit, and the three cooks.
The two sisters, Lu Qing and Lu Yao, were sitting next to Dong Zhang, one on the left and the other on the right. They looked at the table full of food and wine. Little Lu Yao stared at it with big eyes, unblinking.
The little hand grasped the chopsticks tightly and did not move. There was no other reason than that Dong Zhang, who was in charge, had not moved the chopsticks yet.
Seeing everyone sitting down, Dong Zhang filled the wine glasses in front of the three of them with wine and said with a smile:
"Thank you for your respect. During Dong's absence, my two younger sisters at home have relied on you for your care. Dong would like to thank you in advance."
After saying that, he drank all the wine in the glass before anyone could react, then continued to fill it up for himself, and said with a smile:
"Let's stop chatting. Let's drink this cup together and start moving our chopsticks."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed kindly, and little Lu Yao's eyes even started to shine.
Then, with Xiao Luyao's teasing, the table was naturally full of laughter, and in the end, all the guests were naturally happy.
After having had enough wine and food, Zhang Dong sent the guests to the door one by one.
"Mr. Dong, what's next for you..."
After sending the two of them away, the last female escort spoke curiously.
Lifting his eyes and glancing at the nervous female escort Tian Zhen, Dongzhang touched his chin and said with a chuckle:
"Then of course it's time to go home."
Although Dongzhang was very polite, Tian Zhen was inexplicably afraid of this young man with a harmless smile. Maybe it was due to a preconceived impression, and Tian Zhen couldn't explain it herself.
With just one look, Tian Zhen didn't have the courage to ask any more questions, so she resigned and Dongzhang naturally responded politely.
It's night, inside the house.
"Brother, are we leaving?"
Seeing Xiao Luyao dismissing everyone, he curiously asked Dongzhang.
Dongzhang, who was holding his chin and looking boredly at the door, said nonchalantly: "Yeah."
Dongzhang, who thought this little brat would ask anything else, suddenly saw this little girl giggling.
He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What do you enjoy?"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Luyao actually asked, "Shouldn't you be happy to be with your brother again?"
"...."
Ignoring this big-hearted girl, Dong Zhang continued to be in a daze.
Naturally, he didn't see Lu Qing's little eyes light up at the side.
The next day, Dongzhang hired a small carriage early. After negotiating the price with the coachman, he bought some passing food and stuffed it into the carriage. Then, with little Lu Yao's excited laughter, the four of them set foot on the carriage. The journey home.
While passing through a village, Dongzhang took the two sisters out of the car to do some shopping.
The lively and active little Lu Yao and the well-behaved and quiet Lu Qing instantly attracted the attention of many people on the street. They were standing by the window on the second floor of a restaurant.
A group of Mongolian soldiers who were drinking and having fun glanced at the young and beautiful Lu Qing sisters walking on the street, and their eyes lit up instantly.
PS: All the golden soldiers in the front have been changed to Mongolian soldiers. The author’s timeline was mixed up, so I apologize.
"Brothers, guess what I saw."
A tall Mongolian soldier smiled and said to the rest of the people at the table.
Seeing that the person speaking couldn't help but glance out the window, everyone at the table crowded to the window and glanced down. When they saw Lu Qing walking on the street, their eyes suddenly lit up.
People were shouting and making noises in front of the window, and all kinds of frivolous whistles kept coming.
Lu Qing, who was quietly following his sister at this time, naturally discovered a group of strangely screaming Mongolian soldiers upstairs, and leaned towards Dong Zhang behind him in fear.
Even little Lu Yao, who was lively at first, noticed something was wrong. He suddenly became quiet and walked quietly to Dong Zhang. His little hand held Dong Zhang's hand in fear.
Patting Xiao Luyao's head, Dongzhang said calmly: "Brother is here, what are you afraid of? Just go away."
Then he turned to look at the Mongolian soldiers behind the second floor window, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Then without saying anything, they continued to take the two sisters walking through the streets and alleys to buy goods. Seeing Dongzhang who was fine, the two sisters felt a lot more at ease, but they no longer dared to let go of themselves at will. Follow Dong Zhang quietly.
Even little Lu Yao gently shook Dong Zhang's hand, and said with a pleading look on his face: "Brother, let's go quickly."
Even Lu Qing beside him nodded.
Touching Xiao Luyao's head, Dongzhang asked softly: "Aren't you going to buy sesame cakes? You haven't bought them yet."
Xiao Luyao shook his little head fiercely and said anxiously: "Yaoyao doesn't want to eat now, brother, let's go back, okay?"
Seeing the two sisters in such anxiety, Dongzhang naturally knew why they were so anxious. It must be that the scene just now reminded them of some bad past events and reignited their fears.
Seeing that the two sisters were urging him to go back, Dongzhang naturally did not refute, but the eyes on his calm face became colder and colder.
The second floor of the hotel.
"Did you all see it, brothers? That boy actually dared to look directly at us, which made me very unhappy. Do you want to..."
One of the Mongolian soldiers made a sullen gesture of wiping his neck, and the others also agreed.
The tall Mongolian soldier at the head also sneered and said: "Don't worry, when they leave the town, it's not up to you to decide what you want? I'll leave that kid to you. As for these two little ones, hehehehehe ..."
Everyone also laughed strangely without knowing it, and then they all took their knives to pay and left.
After leaving the town and returning to the carriage, the two sisters, Lu Qing and Xiao Lu Yao, let out a sigh of relief. Lu Qing pressed her hands on her chest in fear, and Xiao Lu Yao was so frightened that her face turned pale. It can be seen that the town just now At that time, both of them pretended to be calm.
Silently watching the sneaky little moves of the two sisters, Dongzhang's expression became calmer and calmer.
He said to the two sisters: "If you are tired, take a nap. I will go to the front of the car to get some fresh air."
"elder brother.."
Seeing Dong Zhang walking out of the carriage, Lu Qing wanted to say something, but Dong Zhang signaled him to be silent. In the end, he could only watch Dong Zhang walking out of the carriage worriedly.
When he came to the front of the carriage, Dongzhang took out a few taels of silver and said to the coachman driving the carriage: "Don't look back when you see something later, just carry the carriage forward. Got it? Wait at the inn when you get to the next town." Me, I'll be there soon."
Amidst the astonished expression on the coachman's face, Dongzhang's expression was terrifyingly calm: "Did you understand what I said?"
"Little, little one knows. Please don't worry, young master. I will send the two ladies to the inn safely."
Facing Dongzhang, who was exuding evil spirits, the driver was frightened and hesitated.
"very good."
After saying that, Dongzhang flew up to the carriage lightly, crossed his legs and quietly looked at the many iron cavalry approaching in the distance.
Looking at the dust and dust rising up from behind, Dongzhang's eyes narrowed slightly again...
