Zheng Haizhu took a few steps forward and struck up a conversation: "Hey, this is a relative's child. Do you accept it?"
The man with the hooked nose had a serious face and ignored Zheng Haizhu. He only urged the fat woman next to him to hurry up.
The little girl in the fat woman's arms turned her head and stared at Zheng Haizhu with a pair of bright black eyes.
After the girl sobbed hard for a few times, she suddenly howled louder.
While howling, he stretched out his small body and rushed towards Zheng Haizhu decisively.
Zheng Haizhu hurriedly turned back to greet Wu Bond: "Master, come and see, this baby looks so heartbreaking."
Wu Bondang knew that Zheng Haizhu had to mind his own business just like he did on the street where refugees gathered that day.
He took a few steps forward and said to the couple with a smile: "My wife, please help me coax her. She knows how to coax the baby."
The fat woman was dodging the little girl's little fists like a cat scratching her, and she couldn't answer flawlessly for a moment. Zheng Haizhu echoed Wu Bond's words and reached out to pick up the child.
You might as well come over with an aquiline nose and pierce it, knock Zheng Haizhu's hand off, and shout: "My baby, what do you want to do with me!"
He clearly has a Shandong accent.
The little girl was so frightened by Hook Nose's ferocious behavior that Hook Nose pulled her over from the fat woman's arms, held her under her arm and walked forward.
Zheng Haizhu staggered a few steps and saw from the corner of her eye that there were more passers-by on the bridge than before. She immediately wiped her face and cursed loudly: "How can you be so unreasonable!"
Wu Bondang went up to stop Hawk Nose and said, "How can you be unreasonable and unreasonable? How can you treat your own children like this? I see you are obviously human beings!"
"The baby has been kidnapped! The baby has been kidnapped!" Zheng Haizhu screamed without hesitation.
The woman's high-pitched voice was so penetrating that pedestrians on the bridge stopped one after another, including three or two men who turned to get on the bridge.
The hooked nose suddenly stretched out his free left hand, swung his arm and punched Wu Bang on the face.
Wu Bang Bang quickly turned his head to dodge, and with his hooked nose in the gap, he put the little girl on his shoulder like a bag of rice, completely ignoring the fat woman who was standing aside, turned around and ran towards the other end of the bridge.
Wu Bondang strode after him in a hurry.
On the other side of the bridge, a group of people stepped onto the bridge in the distance.
The aquiline nose was a little timid for a moment. When he wanted to speed up after slowing down, Wu Bondang had already shortened the distance between him and kicked him on the back knee. At the same time, he stretched out his arms to catch the ball that fell from his shoulder. Little girl.
The hooked nose was kicked to the side of the bridge railing. After being stunned for a moment, he bounced up.
The horse teams were approaching, and at the leader's signal, they all stopped and lined up, blocking the bridge.
The knight on the snow-green horse was wearing brocade robes and jade belts, and his hair was tied up with a golden crown.
It was Zhu Yipai, the young highness favored by King Lu.
Behind him, on another maroon horse, sat a woman with a broad forehead and phoenix eyes. She was also dressed in riding attire with narrow-sleeved boots and trousers. She was Guo, the direct wife of Zhu Yipai.
The aquiline nose on the ground saw that the front and rear exits were blocked, so he turned around and grabbed the railings to jump off the bridge and escape.
Wu Bondang said coldly: "Let's jump. Try the river water at this time. Even if you can't freeze to death for a while, can you swim faster than the horses on the river bank?"
The hooked nose suddenly lost its strength and collapsed on the ground gasping for air.
Zhu Yipai and Guo returned from hunting outside the city today. They saw someone fighting for a child. They thought it was a human trafficker who was caught kidnapping a baby.
Unexpectedly, the people who snatched the doll back were Miss Zheng and her shopkeeper who came from Jiangnan to deliver lanterns.
"Is this little kid from your family?" Zhu Yipai asked in surprise.
Zheng Haizhu and two enthusiastic passers-by escorted the fat woman from before.
Zheng Haizhu paid a blessing ceremony to Zhu Yipai and Guo: "Your Majesty, the child you are returning to is not my child. Shopkeeper Wu and I met them on the bridge. We found that the baby spoke southern dialect and was crying abnormally, so we We stepped forward to ask, but they fled. These two must be bad guys."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu
The little girl in Bond's arms suddenly pointed at the hooked nose cowering on the ground, and said in a ferocious voice: "Bad guy, bad guy."
Children are at the golden age of learning language, and they can understand what adults mean. They can immediately learn and use the words spoken by Zheng Haizhu.
At this moment, Wu Bond's sharp gaze fell on the hook-nosed neck.
He handed the little girl to Zheng Haizhu, picked up her aquiline nose, opened her collar, and asked, "Are you taught by Wen Xiang?"
The hook-nosed beast still fights when trapped, only struggling but not answering.
When Zhu Yipai heard the words "Wen Xiang Jiao", his face darkened and he said, "Shopkeeper Wu, how did you know that?"
Wu Bondang dragged his aquiline nose to the head of Zhu Yipai's horse: "Your Highness, please see, this person has tattoos on his body, a fox and a lotus. Many believers in the Smell-Incense have such tattoos."
The hooked nose snorted, but the fat woman behind him knelt down with a pop, pointed at the hooked nose, and said in a trembling voice: "He forced me to..."
Zheng Haizhu interrupted her: "If you want Your Highness to be given a lighter sentence, just tell the truth."
The fat woman knew the current affairs and was handsome, so she quickly told the whole story.
It turned out that the aquiline nose was the subordinate of a small head of the Wenxiang Sect near Qufu.
The little boss's son recently fell ill and died young. Hook-Bi proposed that the young master be matched in a secret marriage and volunteered to find the family where the baby girl happened to be dead.
However, Hook Nose traveled around ten miles and eight villages for several days, but could not find the same girl who died young. The day before yesterday, he went to Yanzhou City to gamble money in a dark place, and happened to see a theater troupe staying in the inn next to the casino. There was a little girl in her early years in the troupe.
He suddenly had evil thoughts and went to find a washerwoman who had just joined the Wenxiang Sect. He threatened her to kidnap the baby together, otherwise he would kidnap the mother-in-law's daughter and give it to the dog-headed old military advisor of the Wenxiang Sect to fill his house. .
The mother-in-law had no choice but to obey, and while the troupe was practicing outside the backyard, she used candied haws to trick the little girl out.
When she said this, Zhu Yipai's direct wife Guo couldn't stand listening any longer and pointed a riding crop at the hooked nose: "You have such vicious thoughts, you want to kill this good child before giving it away." !"
Mrs. Guo had just given birth to her first daughter to Zhu Yipai last year, and she was just one year old now. As a child, she saw that a child who looked very similar to her beloved daughter was about to be tortured and killed. Mrs. Guo was furious for a moment.
Zhu Yipai turned his head and comforted his wife softly, then continued to ask the woman, "Where is the troupe in the city?"
The mother-in-law said: "Next to Tianxian Temple, Fuping Inn in Qingquan Lane."
Zhu Yipai thought for a while and said to Zheng Haizhu: "Miss Zheng, my general will send this villain Wenxiang Cult to the government office now, and send other personal soldiers to protect you. Let this woman lead the way to Qingquan Lane. How about this?" ?」
Zheng Haizhu hurriedly patted the little girl who was still trembling slightly, and said respectfully: "The common people will only obey the arrangements of Your Highness."
…
"Are you, Leader Fang?"
In Fuping Inn, Zheng Haizhu was holding her child in her arms. When she first saw the middle-aged man hurriedly entering the hospital, she called out in disbelief.
The little girl in her hand had already rushed towards the middle-aged man, calling "Daddy" repeatedly.
The middle-aged man had been asking questions from door to door in the neighborhood like a headless fly. Suddenly, a martial artist from the team came running and said that the young lady had been sent back.
At this moment, he was filled with sorrow and joy. He hugged the child tightly, and instead of coaxing her, he just stared at Zheng Haizhu and said, "Does my benefactor recognize me?"
Zheng Haizhu smiled: "It's not surprising that you can't recognize me. I looked really embarrassed back then. Do you remember the golden pit by the Wusong River?"
Leader Fang looked at Zheng Haizhu carefully again, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he said excitedly: "Ah, you, are you the Miss Zheng who jumped into the manure pit with Grandma Yao to save the baby?"
Zheng Haizhu nodded.
Leader Fang hurriedly turned the little girl lying on his shoulder, pointed at Zheng Haizhu and said: "Tang'er, you are so lucky. This Aunt Zheng saved you twice!"
Zheng Haizhu smiled even wider, turned to Wu Bangde and explained: "This child is called Xiaotang. Mr. Yao from Songjiang School and I fished it out of a manure pit by the river."
He stepped forward again and pinched the girl's little hand.
, said softly: "It's been a year, you have grown up, and I really don't recognize you anymore."
Xiaotang put her forehead against Leader Fang's neck, but stared straight at Zheng Haizhu, and soon showed a childish smile.
Zheng Haizhu gently scratched her cute little nose again and said jokingly: "She's very smart. Just now on the bridge, she knew how to ask for help and jumped into my arms without saying a word. Now that she has found her father, she doesn't want anyone to hold her."
Leader Fang pretended to be bluffing and said, "You're a smart guy, but you're still stupid. Don't be deceived by bad guys next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the steward of the team came in and reported: "Master, someone from Prince Lu's palace has asked us to go to the palace tomorrow morning and listen to the etiquette officer explain all the etiquette of acting and listening."
Hearing this, Zheng Haizhu was startled at first, then smiled and asked, "Master Fang, are you here to congratulate Princess Lu on her birthday too?"
