Chapter 7 007 There was a circle of people at the door of the small courtyard, as if they were forced to be intimidated by the people inside, and the onlookers only dared to climb the wall, poking out their heads and stretching their necks to look in.The hustle and bustle in the courtyard ascended to heaven, and there was silence outside the door.Meng Xinran saw this rather lively and peculiar picture a few steps away from her yard, and before she could understand, Xiao Rui's cry came into her ears from the courtyard.Meng Xinran's expression changed suddenly, and he quickened his pace, trying to push away the people around him who were watching the excitement.As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw a woman with heavy makeup snatching Xiaorui with Meng's mother.The little child was carried in the air, a pair of feet kicked helplessly, the neck and shoulders were desperately hugged by Meng's mother, Xiaorui's head was buried in her arms, crying and coughing, his face was flushed, as if he was about to breathe.The strange woman grabbed Xiao Rui's waist and pushed hard to the other side.Meng's mother kept begging the other party to let go with tears, but Zheng Cuihe ignored it, her face was fierce, and she scolded in her mouth: "Your husband lacks virtue, and you are not a good thing."
If you owe me money, use your little cub to pay it, and there is a lack of such fine skin and tender meat in the hands of human teeth. ”Meng Xinran saw the scene in front of him, and his anger surged up."
Let go!"
Meng Xinran shouted loudly, stepped forward and tore off Zheng Cuihe's hand, protecting Meng Mu and Xiaorui in front of him, his face pale."
Oops!"
Zheng Cuihe stumbled for a moment, and when she saw Meng Xinran, she immediately rolled up her sleeves, "What's the matter, you also found a helper?"
You're afraid of you as an old lady!
”"Gladly."
Meng Mu seemed to see the backbone of the main heart and called her for help.Meng Xinran endured her anger, turned back to Meng's mother and said, "Mother, you go back to the house to take care of Xiaorui, I'll come here." ”When Zheng Cuihe heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, it turned out to be a family."
That's good, since your family is here, let's settle the score today. ”Meng Xinran frowned, his eyes cold: "What kind of account?"
”"What account?
Hum!
”Zheng Cuihe snorted, "Your father rented a house from me three months ago, and he didn't give me a penny of silver, and he ran away."
And you guys!
”Pointing his finger at Meng Xinran, "If you live here for four days, you have to give money!"
Not much, just a hundred taels!
”Meng Xinran's face remained unchanged, and her eyes when she looked at Zheng Cuihe were a little colder, as if the cold ice slag was shooting straight at her.Zheng Cuihe met her gaze, her eyes flickered, and she subconsciously took a step back, but she thought of the silver she had sent before, and straightened up again, as if she was the one who was right."
Three months?"
Meng Xinran laughed angrily, his voice was soft, but with a little strength, "My father was still at home three months ago, how can he come to your yard?"
”"Why not?"
Zheng Cuihe said, "Your father found this courtyard three months ago and settled down, and I still have the note signed by him in my hand.Don't be a liar if you want to pay off your debts. ”"That's so."
Meng Xinran lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Please also ask Mrs. to take out my father's note, I can identify it, if it is really my father's signature, my mother and I will definitely return the silver, if ......not" Zheng Cuihe listened to Meng Xinran's previous words and was overjoyed, the note signed and drew was not simple, but let people imitate it, just print a handprint, as for the signature, when the note is taken, then fool around, and I am not afraid of them denying it.Thinking about it like this, Zheng Cuihe didn't pay attention to what Meng Xin hadn't finished talking about.The eyebrows showed joy, Zheng Cuihe didn't care and said, "What if not?"
”The corners of Meng Xinran's mouth drooped slightly, so much so that Zheng Cuihe was a little worried, and then she heard: "If not, I would like to ask my wife why my father disappeared from you when he came to Anjing."
After all, my wife has my father's note in her hand, and I am worried that someone will kill her life in order to make money, so she directed and acted out a scene of a thief shouting to catch a thief. ”Although Zheng Cui people are spicy and savage, they are still ordinary people in the end, and they are most afraid of encountering things related to human life.She was uneasy in her heart, and the person who told her didn't say anything about Meng's father's disappearance, but only asked her to find a way to drive people out of Anjing, but listening to Meng Xinran's words, it seemed that human lives were involved......
She forced herself to calm down: "Who, who killed for money?"
What evidence do you have?
”"Of course it's you, ma'am.Evidence ......," Meng said happily, "Didn't Madame say it just now, you have my father's note in your hand, and I want to come to my father to talk to you on the front foot, but he has no news on the back foot, and what happened in the middle, Madame, you should know best."
If you say that it has nothing to do with you, I'm afraid no one will believe it. ”Meng Xinran pressed step by step, Zheng Cuihe and her glanced at each other, and immediately panicked, the arrogant momentum just now suddenly seemed like a popped balloon, and the whole person shriveled down comically, and stammered: "You, you are talking nonsense, your father is missing, Guan, what does it matter to me?"
I, I don't have your father's note, you, you just heard it wrong. ”"Oh?"
Meng Xinran's tail tone rose, which frightened Zheng Cuihe's heartbeat a beat, and then she listened, "Madame said something wrong, then I don't know if I was wrong just now, Madam, do you want to rob my brother and sell him to the hands of human teeth?"
”Zheng Cuihe was stunned, a little unable to react, why did she talk about her brother again, she subconsciously blurted out, "What?"
”Meng Xinran said directly: "I heard my wife shouting that she was going to snatch my brother and sell it to others, not to mention that there were so many people watching, you can't deny it."
The law of Daiei prohibits the sale of child slaves, and you say, if I tell the prefect, will he imprison you or me?
”Zheng Cuihe, an ordinary woman, where does she know what Darong law is, she was bluffed by Meng Xinran at the moment, her usually sour and sharp voice was forced to lower, and she smiled stiffly with a white face: "Girl, it's you, you heard it wrong, you saw it wrong, I didn't rob your brother, it's all a misunderstanding, yes, it's a misunderstanding." ”"Misunderstanding?"
Meng Xinran obviously didn't want to let Zheng Cuihe go, "Madam, isn't it too late to misunderstand now?"
We have no grievances with you, so why do we need to be so pressing.My Meng family is not a scoundrel, and if my wife tells me well, she will definitely pay back the money owed.Why did Madame do this?
”Meng Xinran paused, approached Zheng Cuihe, and said, "I don't know if Madame has heard that there is a big man in Anjing Mansion?"
Coincidentally, my brother met him on the road to Anjing, and he saw that my brother was very well-behaved, so he specially presented a gold silk bag, saying that he had something to find him.What would he have done if he had known that someone had bullied my brother?
”Although Chu Jingqi came to Anjing without much fanfare, it was not quiet.Zheng Cuihe had heard about this on the street and knew it, but she never thought that it was something that couldn't be beaten by eight poles, and how it was related to the Meng family.This matter was too fantastical, Zheng Cuihe intuitively felt that Meng Xinran was joking, but she inadvertently glanced down and really saw the golden silk bag on Meng Xinran's waist.As a woman, Zheng Cuihe is very familiar with needlework, and immediately saw that the bag in Meng Xinran's hand was not ordinary.The dark cloth is smooth and delicate, with a little luster, and the gold threads on it are bright, embroidered with flowing cloud patterns, as if real clouds are fluttering.With a sigh in his heart, the original seven-point doubt became very sure when he saw the tips, Meng Xinran was not joking......
Zheng Cuihe softened her feet, showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and begged for mercy: "Girl, I was wrong, I apologize."
I shouldn't have been confused for a while, and I received other people's money to embarrass you, you have a large amount, please ......
"Received the silver?"
Meng Xinran grabbed the information in Zheng Cuihe's words, looked grim, and interrupted her, "Whose money did you accept?"
”Zheng Cuihe: "I ......"
"Zheng Cuihe!

You're here again!
”A person ran in from outside the door and interrupted Zheng Cuihe's words.The woman was dressed in coarse linen clothes, her face was dark, and her voice was loud, "Are you using your broken rules to collect debts again?!"
”Zheng Cuihe was obviously a little afraid of her, so she dodged for a while, and said stiffly: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
”"I don't know you yet?!"
Xu Xiaohua glared at her, and didn't save face for Zheng Cuihe, "As soon as one person lives in your broken house, you are like a dog seeing a bone and changing the law every day to beg for silver, tell me how many people you have driven away, ah?"
”As he spoke, he softened his tone and said to Meng Xinran with a smile, "Girl, don't be afraid of her, she wants to rob the silver, and I will help you get rid of her." ”Zheng Cuihe was trembling with anger on the side, but she didn't dare to confront Xu Xiaohua directly.Xu Xiaohua's name sounds soft and weak, her body is not weak at all, her shoulders are big and her waist is round, and she has all the strength of her body.And her mouth is poisonous, and when she saw Zheng Cuihe, she buried her hard.Zheng Cuihe had suffered Xu Xiaohua's losses before, and she usually had to hide and go, but she didn't expect to meet it today.Taking advantage of the moment when Xu Xiaohua and Meng Xinran were talking, Zheng Cuihe moved her steps and quickly slipped away."
Hey."
Meng Xinran didn't finish asking, and wanted to hold her, but was stopped by Xu Xiaohua."
What do you call her for?"
Xu Xiaohua kindly reminded her, "This woman's eyes have fallen out of money, and you are not afraid of being deceived by her." ”Meng said happily: "I still have something to ask her." ”"What do you have to ask her, the well-known Zhou Peel debt collector in the neighborhood."
Xu Xiaohua said unceremoniously, then looked at Meng Xinran, and said familiarly: "Girl, the new one, my name is Xu Xiaohua, I live in the yard next door to you, I see that you are not very old, just call me Aunt Xu......"
Xu Xiaohua introduced it very enthusiastically, but Meng Xinran couldn't cry or laugh, this Aunt Xu is too enthusiastic......
After that, Zheng Cuihe never appeared again, Meng Xinran went to her to ask if she knew the whereabouts of Meng's father, but she knew that the gate of the Zheng family was closed, and there was no one inside.Meng Xinran inquired about a nearby tea house, only to find out that the Zheng family had gone to visit relatives in other places, and no one knew when they would return.The timing of the Zheng family's visit was too coincidental, so Meng Xinran had to think about it.However, the only clue was broken, and Meng Xinran had no choice but to take the portrait of Meng's father and ask nearby.However, all of this has been seen by people with a heart.The author has something to say: Meng Xinran: To borrow a phrase, all reactionaries are paper tigers.Chu Jingqi: Oh?
Why do I hear that someone has taken my name?
Meng Xinran: What?
Can't be used?
Chu Jingqi: Yes, of course I can, I have everything with you Chapter 8 008 Xu Xiaohua and the Meng family will come to visit the door from time to time after they are familiar with it.Xu Xiaohua has a straight temperament, she can't hide things on her face, she is very straightforward in doing things, and Meng's mother is very compatible with her.Xu is someone to talk with her to relax, Meng Mu's heart has been depressed a lot in the past few days, and even her complexion has become better, Meng Xinran is also relieved to look at it.In the small talk with Xu Xiaohua, Meng Xinran knew that she was living alone now, and her husband had gone to other places to run errands, and he had only come back for several months.There are no other children in the family, and one person is really lonely.Meng's mother saw that she was really lonely, so she often invited her to eat at home and have a lively time together."
Big sister."
Mother Meng embroidered needlework and asked Xu Xiaohua on the side, "What business does Brother Xu do?"
Why are you busy and don't give you a message to report your safety?
”Speaking of this, Xu Xiaohua was also angry, and complained: "What is the business, your brother Xu is a carpenter, he runs around with the owner all day long, and there is no fixed place to stay, and when he reports his safety, the letter has not yet arrived, and no one knows which corner to run, what's the use." ”"Carpenter?"
Meng Mu was stunned, "Brother Xu is also a carpenter?"
”"It's not a carpenter.I came back in a hurry more than half a month ago, saying that I was helping someone deliver a letter to Suihe County, and after sending it, he disappeared.Alas, it is also unfortunate that Suihe County is now in great trouble, and I don't know if the letter of faith has been sent to others. ”Xu Xiaohua only cared about talking, but she didn't see that Meng Mu's face changed a few times in an instant, and the white was terrifying.When she raised her head, Meng Mu had already collected her emotions and couldn't see anything abnormal.Meng Mu's fingers trembled, and she asked casually, "Eldest sister, do you know who Brother Xu is helping to deliver the letter?"
It just so happens that I'm also from Suihe County, so maybe I know that person so I can tell him. ”Xu Xiaohua suddenly brightened: "Oops!
Look at my brain, sister, aren't you from Suihe County.I heard that the man's surname is Meng, and he is also a carpenter, and he is quite famous in Suihe County.Girl, do you know?
”Confirming her guess, Meng Mu's heart tugged up, endured the trembling of her teeth, and said, "Yes, it's a street away from my house, and it's right across the door." ”"That's great."
Xu Xiaohua felt that she had done a good deed, and continued, "I heard that the person who was helping out at Xu Yuan's house in Dongcheng was so busy that he couldn't take a break, so he asked my man to help him deliver the letter......
Xu Xiaohua was still chattering, and Meng's mother seemed to be settled, and her head was buzzing.Xu Xiaohua saw that Meng's mother was not very good, thinking that she was sick, so she hurriedly rushed people to rest, and went back to her yard by herself.At night, Meng's mother sat on the edge of the bed and coaxed Meng Shurui to sleep.When Meng Xinran pushed the door in, he saw that Meng Mu was stunned, quite in a trance, and said incomprehensibly: "Mother, it's so late, why haven't you rested?"
”Meng Mu suddenly came back to her senses, hurriedly stood up, grabbed her and said, "Your Aunt Xu knows where your father is." ”Meng Xinran's expression was straight.In the past few days, she has asked many people on the street, even in the alleys, but there is no one who knows Father Meng, which makes her begin to wonder if Father Meng really appeared in Anjing, otherwise why there is no trace of even existence.Now it is effortless, and the insider is in front of him, which has to make Meng Xinran suspicious.But if Aunt Xu is really the person related to this matter, and she hasn't shown any suspicious flaws these days, then this person is too terrifying.Meng Xinran carefully thought about the situation after Aunt Xu came to the Meng family, and felt that she was not such a person, if she wanted to harm them, she would have done it a long time ago, and it would have been until today.Meng Xinran asked, "Where?"
”Meng Mu said: "Xu Yuan's foreign family in Dongcheng. ”…… In the dead of night, in an abandoned village in Anjing City, several figures leaned against the wall, bowing and moving.In the dark light, someone listened intently to the movement outside the wall, and at the same time whispered to the people next to him."
Hurry up!"
The man said anxiously, "Has the pit been dug yet?"
”The man who dug the pit wiped his sweat, straightened up, and whispered, "Okay." ”"Hurry up and bury it."
The watchman listened to the absence of any wind outside the wall, and beckoned the others to throw the two large sacks on the ground into the earthen pit.I don't know what was in the sack, heavy, outlining a vague outline in the moonlight.The men lightly threw sacks, filled the pit with earth, and then, as they had come, sneakily ran out of the Zhuangzi, and disappeared into the night in a short time.…… The post station of Liucheng Town.In the study, Chu Jingqi was wearing a robe and was copying the wood carved deer on the table.Under the reflection of the candle flame, a faint light shone on the handsome side face, softening the coldness between his eyebrows.The fawn gradually jumped on the paper with the swimming of the brush, and Chu Jingqi's gaze at it became gentle with the completion of the painting, as if it had melted a layer of warmth, which made people's hearts move for a moment."
Knock knock".The window of the study was knocked twice.The corners of Chu Jingqi's mouth tightened, and the feeling of gentleness around his body suddenly faded.The tip of the pen in his hand did not stop, and he did not raise his head, and said lightly: "Come in." ”Halfway through the window, a black figure rolled in through the window, agile and nimble, and fell silently when it landed.The person who came was dressed in a black night suit, his face was resolute and cold, his eyes were as deep and sharp as a knife, he stood respectfully beside Chu Jingqi, half-bowed his head and was silent, waiting for Chu Jingqi's orders.After Chu Jingqi finished painting the fawn, he looked at it in a daze for a long time, his brows furrowed suddenly, and he did not hesitate to burn the drawing paper on the candle paper, and the flames rose sharply, devouring the fawn quickly.A good painting just like that turned to ashes.However, Chu Jingqi didn't have a bit of a regretful expression, he wiped his hands calmly, put away the wood carved deer on the table, and slowly rubbed it with his fingertips, and then slowly spoke: "Did you ask something?"
”Chu Dao lowered his head, and his voice unconsciously brought a trace of tightness: "That man's mouth is very hard, his subordinates tortured him, and he didn't confess." ”Chu Jingqi did not blame Chu Dao, but looked at him quietly, his eyes were as deep as the sea, as if he wanted to see Chu Dao's heart.Chu Dao's pressure instantly doubled, he understood that the prince was angry, and immediately knelt down: "The subordinates are not doing well, and please punish the prince." ”"Punish you for what to do."
Chu Jingqi looked away and wrote lightly, "His little master is so loyal, it should be a blessing for me to be honored."
However, since he can't pry his mouth open, it is better to fulfill his loyalty.That's right......"
Chu Jingqi nodded at the table with his fingertips and turned his face sideways, "Leave the letter, Han Busheng's side, don't forget to let people go back to 'reinstate'."
Find a clever one, don't show your stuff. ”Chu Dao: "My subordinates understand. ”"Hmm."
Chu Jingqi nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Tell Chu Jian, let him go to Anjing with this king first, and as for the patrol team, stop at the post station for two more days."
They must have been very happy to hear it. ”Chu Dao commanded: "Yes, Lord Wang." ”"Stand down."
Chu Jingqi waved his hand and closed his eyes tiredly.Chu Dao took a few steps back, climbed out of the window, and immediately disappeared.The room was quiet, Chu Jingqi slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand to look at the deer in his hand, and clenched his hand again.The light in his eyes changed, his emotions surged, the pain flashed, and finally turned into a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.The author has something to say: Chu Jingqi: I want my daughter-in-law to be perverted, what should I do?!

Chu Jingqi: ???
Meng Xinran: Deer, Deer Chapter 9 009 Before the flood in Linzhou County, one of the most talked about things by the people of Anjing Mansion after tea and dinner was that Xu Yuanwai in Dongcheng married another aunt's wife, and this was also his nineteenth aunt's wife.Xu Yuanwai, formerly known as Xu Jianghe, was a well-known wealthy businessman in Anjing.Famous not because he has enviable wealth, but because of his eighteen-room beautiful and delicate aunt.Xu Jianghe is kind and elegant, but he has a lascivious reputation.Some people say that Xu Yuanwai is a good blessing, and some people say that Xu Yuanwai spoils the wife of chaff, but Xu Yuanwai's original partner did not speak, and ordinary people muttered to themselves behind their backs, just as a joke.It's strange to say that the eighteen aunts and wives outside Xu Yuanwai have never gone out or shown up since they were carried into the gate of Xu's mansion by the sedan chair.I only heard rumors in Anjing that Xu Yuanwai's aunt and wife were all Sai Tianxian, and Xu Yuanwai cherished them tightly, and built eighteen golden houses at home to hide his aunt's wife and prevent outsiders from looking at it.I don't know if Jinwu Zangjiao is true or not, but the only thing that can be confirmed is that after Xu Yuanwai married his aunt's wife, he asked the old slave in the family to find a carpenter in Anjing Mansion every two days, and made a few dressers of golden silk nanmu, saying that he wanted his aunt to dress up well.It's just that when the disaster hit today, everyone lost the mind to chat, and the front of Xu's house became deserted.The vermilion door is tightly closed, and there is a plaque hanging directly above the door, which reads the word Xu Fu, the font is strong and powerful, and the iron painting silver hook is a good word, but it is a pity that Xu Fu in order to line with its own wealth worthy of the name, it is hard to paint a thick layer of paint with gold stucco, which looks both chic and high and cheesy, but it makes people look nondescript.Meng Xinran stepped forward and knocked on the door, the echo was long and long, and it was very clear to hear outside the door.After waiting for almost a stick of incense, there was a sound of footsteps from inside the door, and it stopped when it reached the gate.Squeak - the door opened, revealing the face of the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion.The housekeeper of Xufu is a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with four white eyes on his face, his eyes are half-closed and half-open, and he is sleepy.Xu Lai yawned slowly, glanced at Meng Xinran casually, and his drooping eyes lit up instantly.Meng Xinran has been running around the streets and alleys of Anjing Mansion for the past few days, and her body is covered with servant dust, but at this time, standing in front of the door of Xu Mansion, a water-green long skirt dissipates the fatigue on her face, but makes her transparent and dusty, her eyebrows are curved like willow leaves, a pair of apricot eyes are big and bright, and there is a tear mole in the corner of her left eye, which will not fall, so that Qingli's cold face is more delicate, and it has a unique charm.Xu Lai's drowsiness immediately dissipated, and he opened the door attentively, leaning out half of his body to greet him, but he did not step out of the threshold, and he could open the door to only allow one person to pass through.Meng Xinran wanted to look inside the Xu Mansion through the gate, but was blocked by Xu Lai, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he blocked behind the door and couldn't see what the situation was like in the Xu Mansion at all.Xu Lairuo inadvertently looked Meng Xinran up and down a few times, as if he was afraid of scaring people away, and asked softly: "Girl, what's the matter with you?"
”Meng Xinran didn't notice Xu Lai's abnormality, she lowered her head and unfolded the scroll in her hand, took the portrait of Meng's father and asked Xu Lai: "This is my father, who used to work as a carpenter in Xu's mansion, have you seen it?"
”Xu Lai stared at Meng Xinran's face with burning eyes when she lowered her head, and when she saw Meng Xinran raise her head, she instantly retracted her exposed gaze, casually swept the portrait on the paper, and shook her head: "There is no such person among the carpenters recruited by Xu Fu." ”Meng Xinran suddenly felt lost when she heard this, but when she remembered Xu Xiaohua's words, the sense of loss turned into a strong doubt, she didn't show it on her face, she only asked again anxiously and pleadingly: "Please think about it." ”Xu Lai was originally a little impatient in his heart, but when he saw Meng Xinran showing an anxious look of anticipation, begging his appearance to make his heart feel comfortable again, he took a serious look at the portrait of Meng's father.However, although Xu Lai is the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion, there are many servants who come and go in the mansion, and there are also various workers recruited by Xu Yuan, but for people like Father Meng, who only stayed in the mansion for a few days, he does not remember.Xu Lai regretted why he hadn't seen Father Meng, otherwise he could have taken a few more glances in front of the beauty, and he pretended to be sorry and shook his head again: "Girl, I'm sorry, I really haven't seen your father in Xu's Mansion." ”Meng Xinran had been observing Xu Lai's expression, although his gaze made him sick to his stomach, but when he saw the portrait of Meng's father, Xu Lai did not show any other abnormalities, which made Meng Xinran believe that the person in front of him was telling the truth.But if he is telling the truth, how can Aunt Xu's words be interpreted?
Meng Xinran lowered his gaze thoughtfully.However, her appearance fell into Xu Lai's eyes, but it changed a different taste, the hanging eyelashes trembled slightly, Qiong's nose and lips, and her skin was snowy, this silence made her a little more pitiful and weak.Xu Lai's heart was itching, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity, he rolled his eyes, and opened the door again: "Girl, I just remembered that the Xu Mansion did recruit a group of carpenters into the mansion before, but I didn't bring these people in, so naturally I don't know if your father is inside."
Why don't you go in with me first, and I'll take you to the house to find someone to ask, what do you think?"
”Xu Lai's eyes were very sincere, but he seemed to be faintly depressed.Meng Xinran raised his eyes to look at him, but his heart was tight.She had experienced Zhao Laosan's affairs in Menghuling, so she naturally knew what the suppressed enthusiasm in Xu Lai's eyes represented, and such a look made her whole body creepy, and she subconsciously took a step back.Meng Xinran grabbed his palm, barely pulled out a grateful smile, and said to Xu Lai: "No, no need.Presumably, my father went somewhere else, so he didn't bother. ”After that, without waiting for Xu to stay, he turned around and walked straight away."
Ah, girl."
Xu Lai stretched out a hand and wanted to stop Meng Xinran, but Meng Xinran walked fast, as if some fierce beast was chasing her behind her, without even stopping.Xu Lai let out a long sigh, his hand stopped in mid-air, and then grabbed a handful in the air, clenched his fist to the end of his nose, and sniffed it indulgingly.There seemed to be the smell of Meng Xinran's body on his hand, Xu Lai smiled stupidly, looked at the direction of Meng Xinran's departure with regret and fascination, and muttered, "It's so fragrant." ”It wasn't until he was out of the range of the Xu Mansion that Meng Xinhuan let out a sharp breath and leaned against the wall to breathe hard.Thinking of the feeling of being stared at all the time on her back, Meng Xinran felt hairy all over her body, her body trembled gently involuntarily, and her back arched slightly.Meng Xinran covered his face in pain, his eyes were dark, but a burst of white light lit up in his head.Xu's gaze at her kept coming back and forth, and finally overlapped with another pair of eyes............
On that day, Zhao Laosan's rude and disgusting hands on the Tiger Ridge resurfaced, with rapid gasps, nausea breath, and a cold and biting wind......
In the end, they all turned into Zhao Laosan's dead eyes, bright red blood slowly overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and the originally stiff face suddenly bloomed into a smile, Zhao Laosan's white lips moved, and silently made a lip shape: You can't escape me......
"Woo ......" whimper came from between the palms, Meng Xinran grabbed the collar, slowly slid down the wall, and buried himself in his knees.The sound of breathing was dull and violent, and Meng Xinran only showed a pair of bloodshot eyes, looking at the ground in a daze......
I don't know how long it took, Meng Xinran's emotions gradually calmed down, she moved her stiff and numb legs, stood up against the wall, her back was straight, her chin was slightly raised, and her eyes were calm and indifferent, as if she had returned to the invincible Meng Xinran before.It was late when she returned to the courtyard, and Meng Mu stood at the entrance of the courtyard and looked back and forth at the intersection of Minxiang.Meng Xinran saw Meng's mother, quickened his pace, and walked quickly."
I'm back."
Meng Mu saw Meng Xinran at a glance, held her hand, her fingertips touched a cold, half blamed and half worried: "Why are your hands so cold?"
Why don't you wear more clothes when you go out?
Hurry up and get in, it's cold and dew at night, so don't catch a cold. ”Meng happily hummed, didn't say much, and followed Meng's mother into the house.Mother Meng looked at her face, but when Meng Xinran was tired of running outside, she didn't want to say more, so she suppressed her mouth and wanted to ask Father Meng's words, and then said: "Tired, let's go, go into the house to eat, Xiaorui has been shouting to wait for my sister to come along." ”As soon as Meng Xinran entered the room, Xiaorui rushed into her arms, hugged her thighs, looked up at Meng Xinran with a smile: "Sister, you're back!"
Rui misses you. ”Meng Xinran smiled, raised his hand and touched Xiao Rui's cheek: "Well, my sister misses you too." ”Mother Meng was holding the meal, and when she saw this picture of sister and brother affection, she couldn't help but smile: "Xiaorui, don't always pester your sister, wash your hands quickly, and let your sister come over for dinner." ”Hearing this, Xiao Rui immediately let go of his hand, pulled Meng Xinran to wash his hands, and then pulled her to sit down.Meng Xinran's eyes were gentle, and she let Xiaorui hold her all the time.On the table, I only listened to the soft sound of the collision of dishes and chopsticks, and occasionally Meng Mu would whisper a few words to Xiao Rui, asking him not to be picky, Xiao Rui pouted, and looked at Meng Xinran for help, Meng Xinran smiled, and only said a good word, Xiao Rui couldn't be a picky eater, so he had to pout and eat the carrot that Meng Mu stuffed into his mouth.At night, Meng Xinran taught Xiaorui to learn to write, and a kerosene lamp was burning next to her, and Meng's mother sat under the lamp, showing off her clothes while raising her eyes to look at the two sisters and brothers at the table.By the time Meng's mother's clothes were embroidered for the most part, Xiaorui couldn't stand it anymore, and leaned on Meng Xinran and fell asleep.Meng Xinran helped him wash up, took off his shoes, socks and clothes, and coaxed him to sleep.In the dead of night, Meng Xinran accompanied Meng's mother while reading, but after a long time, the sound of turning the book was delayed, Meng's mother looked at her several times, so she had to put down the needle and thread in her hand and spoke cautiously: "Xinran, you went to Xu's Mansion today, did you encounter something?"
”Meng Xinran's sloppy gaze froze, and he turned his head and said casually: "I haven't encountered anything." ”"Then ......"
Meng Mu's lips trembled, and she stopped talking.Meng Xinran's expression faded suddenly, but her eyes were bright, and her words also made Meng's mother frightened: "Mother, I want to go into Xu's mansion to explore." ”Chapter 10 010 The wind howled at night, making the window paper rattle, and the window frames also made a slight vibration from time to time.Meng Xinran lay sideways with her back to Meng Mu, her arms resting under her head, looking at the glimmering window paper, a little distracted for a while.What she said to Meng Mu before going to bed was not a whim for her, she had such an idea as early as when she went to Xu Mansion to inquire about the news during the day.From the beginning of entering Anjing to find Meng's father, she faintly felt as if she had stepped into a dangerous trap.'
s father was nowhere to be found, as if he disappeared overnight, and there were few traces of his existence in Anjing, and then Zheng Cuihe, who suddenly went to visit relatives......
Now the only clue is the Xu Mansion.Meng Xinran intuitively felt that Meng's father's disappearance was inseparable from the Xu Mansion, although the Xu Mansion claimed that he had not seen Meng's father, but compared with the Xu Mansion, Meng Xinran obviously believed in Aunt Xu more, and with Aunt Xu's behavior these days, she would not lie to Meng's mother.…… But how do you get into the Xu Mansion......
Meng Xinran turned over, a little distressed and remorseful, she refused to enter the Xu Mansion during the day, and now she had to think about it again, and she couldn't be that colored.Ghost Discovery......
Meng Xinran pillowed his arms and meditated.The wind outside the window was louder again, and the gale squeaked on the wooden shelves in the yard.The window shook more and more, Meng Shurui shrunk his neck a little uneasily, Meng Xinran saw it, stroked his back, and let him continue to sleep peacefully.Meng Xinran did not feel sleepy, her eyes were open, and her eyes were clear.Outside, the wind was howling, but the inside of the house was unusually quiet, so quiet that even the sound of the roof tiles being blown by the wind could be heard very clearly.Hearing the sound, Meng Xinran involuntarily looked at the dark beams.Darkness shrouded the top, and there was no light to be seen, and the only thing that could be perceived was a slight "tick-tock", as if the raindrops had gently fallen on the ground, smashing a small splash of water.Well?
Meng Xinran blinked, a little puzzled, is it raining?
Without waiting for her to verify, a familiar and pungent smell of kerosene permeated from the room, Meng Xinran sat up, sniffed carefully, and frowned.She looked up at the beams again, and her heart pounded violently, as if there was an ignorant danger lurking in the darkness.The palms of his hands were sweating nervously, Meng Xinran pursed his lips, and was about to get out of bed to find out, when suddenly the bright light outside the window flickered, illuminating the night as bright as day, and bringing an incomparably scorching heat wave, even through a piece of window paper, Meng Xinran could feel the heat on his face.Fire!
Meng Xinran's pupils shrank, and before he had time to think, his body had already reacted instinctively."
Mother!
Wake up, wake up!
”Meng happily shook Meng's mother and tried her best to wake her up."
What's wrong?"
Meng Mu looked sleepy, sat up with her body propped up, and asked Meng Xinran for some reason."
Mother, it's on fire outside, hurry up."
Meng Xinran's voice was tense, and there was a faint hint of trembling.didn't have time to explain more to Meng's mother, she picked up Xiaorui, who was woken up and rubbing her eyes, dragged Meng's mother, who was stunned, and ran out.
