Mrs.
Yan wanted to speak, and her face with delicate makeup turned crimson with shame."
Mrs.
Yan, can't you say?""
You're a girl, it's better not to know some things."
Mrs.
Yan took a handkerchief to hide a drop of crystal from the corner of her eyes, and reluctantly smiled to introduce another snack she had made herself."
Try this, it's a glutinous rice dumpling that southerners often eat, wrapped in fried bean flour and topped with sweet sugar water.The ladies of all ethnic groups often come to the house as guests and are very partial to it, and I often make it in my house and distribute it to the girls in each house to taste. ”"Thank you, Mrs.
Yan for your trouble."
Li Haitang asked Yang to get chopsticks and a small porcelain plate, and then brought a few exquisite dim sum that she usually ate to Mrs.
Yan to taste.Seeing that there was no one guarding outside the cubicle, Mrs.
Yan suddenly got up and knelt down, and pleaded with tears: "Miss Li, I know that you are a smart child, and you will never do anything foolish.I am willing to beg Miss Li to let me go, and I am willing to be Miss Li's shield. ”"Mrs.
Yan is serious, I never wanted to make things difficult for you."
Li Haitang helped Mrs.
Yan to sit back next to her, and laughed at herself: "If I say I don't hate you, I can't believe it to anyone."
Since Master and Second Master Yan have an agreement, what good is it for me to be stubborn?
Now that I am alone against the power of the Eight Great Clans, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and I can only rely on my master to protect myself. ”"Miss Li's young age has thought so thoroughly, I'm relieved."
Mrs.
Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.As long as Li Haitang can let her go, she is willing to become a protection for Li Haitang."
Big girl, the old slave has something to say."
Sister-in-law Yang's face was slightly gloomy, she put down her chopsticks and small porcelain plate, and stood respectfully next to Haitang.Li Haitang picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Mrs.
Yan, and asked casually, "What makes you so nervous?"
”Yang Yan's grandmother peeked at Mrs.
Yan and said in a low voice: "Big girl, Mr.
Painter of Wuxin Academy sent Xiao Zuo, a waiter, to report that there is news from Qishan Town, please ask the eldest girl to go over and meet the messenger who passed the message." ”"The messenger of the word?
Sent by Fifth Master Qin?
”"Yes."
Li Haitang excitedly stood up and lifted her skirt and left, completely leaving Mrs.
Yan behind.Seeing this, Sister-in-law Yang immediately grabbed her and reminded in a low voice: "Big girl, don't worry, how can you leave Mrs.
Yan here?"
”"Huh?"
Li Haitang looked back and forgot about Mrs.
Yan.He came back to salute in shame for a while, and said apologetically: "Please don't blame Mrs.
Yan, it's really me who cares about my brother's safety." ”"Don't get in the way, how can I not know your urgency."
Mrs.
Yan got up, carried the empty food box, pulled Li Haitang out of the East Flower Hall together, and said, "You can go."
If there is good news, it will be considered that the Buddha has forgiven my sins, and I am willing to fast for 100 days to atone for my sins. ”"Mrs.
Yan go slowly, forgive me for not being able to send it far."
Li Haitang saluted and instructed Mrs.
Li to send Mrs.
Yan to leave through the side door of the east courtyard.She asked Yang to accompany her to the west across the courtyard to Wuxin Courtyard, and did not respond to Mrs.
Yan's hypocritical confession from beginning to end.…… When I came to Wuxin Courtyard, I was the first to see the old housekeeper Abel.Ah Bo respectfully greeted Li Haitang and announced in sign language: The messenger sent by Qin Wuye in Qishan Town brought the news of Xiao Wanghu, and the master was accompanying him inside, and asked the eldest girl to come with the old slave."
Thank you, Abel."
I had learned some sign language with Abel before, and Yang Yan's explanation from the side, Li Haitang could barely understand a few unfamiliar gestures.Hearing the news that the envoy sent by Fifth Master Qin had Xiao Wanghu, she couldn't wait any longer to urge Abel to lead the way.Abel took the chestnut begonia up to a rockery in the back garden, and a square pavilion built in the rockery was simple and elegant, and the carved paintings were simple and solemn.The two large doors have hair-thin silver lacquer lines that can only be seen in the sunlight.Abel tapped three times on an open door, and when the people inside replied "Come in", he lowered his head and stepped back to the side, motioning for Li Haitang to go in alone.Li Haitang nervously arranged her skirt and told Yang Yanyan to wait outside, and then walked into the Sifang Pavilion lightly.As soon as he entered the door, he saw a bearded man sitting across the table from Zhuge Yi, and behind him stood a young man dressed as a guard, holding a sword in his hand and a burden tied to his back.Zhuge Yi put down the teacup, saw the little girl standing at the door, and asked softly, "What is Mrs.
Yan doing in the Pavilion?"

”"Huh?"
Li Haitang shuddered for a moment, came back to his senses in a trance, and said, "Send a snack." ”"Weasel New Year's greetings, I don't have a good heart."
Zhuge Yi sneered, and his slender index finger tapped on the table next to him, "Come and sit." ”"Yes."
Li Haitang gently obeyed the sound of "yes", and gently moved the lotus step to his side, looking at the bearded man with apricot eyes, not knowing whether to salute or not."
Sit down.""
Okay."
Zhuge Yi's order relieved her of the siege, and Li Haitang sat down meekly, her apricot eyes still staring at the man opposite.A thick beard covered half of his face, and two scars on his full forehead were not ugly, but rather a special mark of his."
Miss Li, this is a letter sent to me by Fifth Master Qin, and it is news about Brother Ling."
The bearded man took out a letter from his bosom and placed it on the table, pushing it towards the chestnut begonia.Li Haitang didn't rush to make a move, but looked at Zhuge Yi beside him."
Look.""
Okay."
The verbal interaction between the two became a different meaning in the eyes of the man.The little girl hesitated because she was afraid that the envelope would be poisonous, and she waited for the teenager's permission to read the contents of the letter with confidence, which shows the little girl's dependence and trust on the teenager.Li Haitang opened the envelope, the letter paper inside was very light and thin, and only one word was written on the thin piece of paper: the pool is a hundred feet deep, the corpse of a young child is out, the clothes are torn, and the bird is drowned."
Birds?"
Li Haitang was puzzled, and saw the bearded man turn around and nod slightly to the guard boy, and the boy immediately took out a small wooden box from the burden behind him and handed it to the man.The man pushed the begonia again and said, "This is taken out of the child's hand, and it should be the child's favorite bird." ”Afraid that the little girl would be frightened, Zhuge Yi opened the lid of the box instead of her.In the wooden box, a dead green-feathered bird was lying inside, and the fingers of the child's fingers could still be seen on the wing feathers.Li Haitang recognized this green-feathered bird at a glance as the bird that Mo Shenghuan came to give to Xiao Wanghu when she sent Xiao Wanghu home.Previously, when she learned the bad news of Xiao Wanghu and rushed back to Li's house, she was also curious about why the bird was missing.It turned out that the bird was taken away by Xiao Wanghu and was killed with him."
This big brother, may I ask my brother......
Where is it?
”The bearded man announced: "The fifth master has sent someone to escort him, and it is estimated that he will be able to reach Li's Village in three days." ”"No, don't send it to Li's Village, please send it to the Cold Night Ridge Valley."
Li Haitang covered the small wooden box, and said angrily with tears in his apricot eyes: "The Yehanling Valley is a beautiful place, I want to bury Xiao Wanghu there." ”Zhuge Yi frowned and said worriedly: "Begonia, what do you want to do?"
”Li Haitang smiled sadly, and her small hand tightly held the cold big hand.() Glory to the end
