"Gulp …" "Gulu …"
After pretending to be beggars for just a day, there had been food hidden on their bodies for several days. However, in order not to be discovered, they hadn't eaten in secret last night. Originally, although he was not completely full after eating those steamed buns, it should still be considered half full. But now, as they smelled the tempting fragrance coming from outside, their stomachs felt empty. Let alone the youngest Min'er, even Nona and Situ Xi couldn't withstand it any longer. After a while, Min Er's stomach started to growl as well …
"I, I …" "Elder sister, I didn't mean to."
Min'er's face was red as she timidly pulled on Nona's sleeve. Her eyes were filled with embarrassment, and her little face that was covered in dust instantly flushed red. Even her ears were about to drip blood.
She really didn't do it on purpose, it was just that the fragrance outside was too strong.
"Forget it, I know you didn't do it on purpose."
Jiu Niang lightly shook her head and pitifully patted the little girl's head.
Of course she knew that this little girl didn't do it on purpose. Things like this weren't something that could be controlled by a human. Just now, she almost drooled herself.
Although this woman didn't look respectful at all and didn't have any intention of coming to worship Buddha, the things she had prepared were quite sumptuous. Even if it was unbearable, just the smell of it was enough to attract people. Jiu Niang herself was still a grown woman, but she couldn't control herself. Furthermore, Min'er was only a child. It was impossible for her to tolerate this.
It was already rare for her to be able to persist until now and obediently remain silent.
Speaking of which, if Min'er was in modern times, she would only be a child who had just entered kindergarten. A child in kindergarten wouldn't understand anything, it would already be amazing for her to be able to last until Xi'an.
"Seriously, I wasn't hungry at first …"
As Nona spoke, Situ Xi also couldn't help but complain.
Originally, he didn't feel that he was that hungry, but at this moment, the fragrance continuously wafted around him. He also felt that his stomach was about to collapse from hunger.
"Just endure for a moment."
She shook her head helplessly, but there was nothing she could do.
Speaking of which, looking at such a tasty home right in front of their eyes, no matter what, they could not eat it. This feeling was really not too good.
"Sigh, keep your voices down. It would be bad if they heard."
Compared to the others, he had not tasted water for a very long time. Looking at the huge pile of food outside, he really wanted to rush up and grab it. But... There were so many people watching outside. If he rushed out, he might not get anything to eat after all, and he might even get beaten up by someone smelly. After all, this wasn't the first time he had encountered something like this.
"Got it!"
Nona half-closed her eyes and waved her hands, hugging Min'er tightly with both of her hands. She felt a burst of anger in her heart.
Damn it, it was not good to see food right in front of his eyes, but he could not eat it even though he was starving.
"Soon, soon, they're almost gone …"
The three of them sat in a corner, blind and not annoyed, but Lord Dog could not sit still. His body was pressed tightly against the Buddha statue and his eyes were shining. He was prepared to rush out the moment they left.
However, just as the woman was about to leave, she suddenly stopped.
"Hey, what's going on? Why aren't you leaving? "
Normally, this kind of place would not stay for long. This was the first time he would leave, so why didn't he leave?
"Eh? So strange, why is another person here? "
The dog grandpa lay quietly on the ground, staring into the distance with his eyes wide open. He looked as if he was afraid that he would miss something.
However, he didn't expect that there would be two middle-aged men running over from afar. Moreover, they seemed to be very anxious.
They quickly ran to the middle-aged woman and lowered their heads to say something.
Very soon, the face of the middle-aged woman who was prepared to leave immediately changed. "What? Is that true? How could this be? You bunch of useless trash, didn't I say that you should just watch over him and not let any news of him? "
Madam Lin's face was dark and her eyes were wide open as she stared at the middle-aged man before her.
On the way here, he had expended all his energy and energy to rush over. He had never wanted to say something like this, but since it had already happened, he had no choice but to come over to Madam Lin. "Madam, this is not the first time we have met. "This time, we brothers have been careless, but since what has happened has already happened, please quickly think of a plan."
"You … You... "You guys really …" With a pitch black face, Madam Lin glared angrily at the man. Her hands were clenched into fists, and her face looked like she was about to eat someone. The maidservants beside her did not know what had happened, so they assumed that the two middle-aged men had offended the madame.
"How dare you! How dare you offend my wife!"
"What are you guys talking about? How dare you!"
"Who are you people!?" Get lost already! "
A dozen servants surrounded Lady Lin, separating the two middle-aged men from her.
Although Madam had a bad temper recently and always sent goods out, the few of them had suffered a lot and were even punished by Madam.
But no matter what, Madam was their master. They absolutely could not let their master suffer a loss.
"You all … Get out of the way, we have something to say to Madam! "
This matter was kept a secret, and very few people knew about it. The reason Madam Lin had come to find them was because she did not want others to know about it. In order to make sure no one suspected, they rarely came into contact with Madam Lin, but today was a very important day. Otherwise, they wouldn't have rashly come looking for her.
Seeing that he was suddenly separated from the others, the middle-aged man started to get anxious.
"Humph!" You all better hurry up and leave, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite. "
"That's right, that's right!"
"Hurry up and get lost!"
Although these maidservants were not very old, and their daily duties were to take care of Lady Lin, they had never done any heavy work. They were all cultured and refined, not to mention that they could not carry her on their shoulders. If he really fought with these two middle-aged men, it was not certain who would suffer a loss. It's just that I can't take it anymore …
"You all … You damn slaves … Madam, please say something. We are on the same rope now, and if anything were to happen, at that time … When the time comes, we brothers will be … Barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes. "
Seeing that he was separated by more than ten maids, the middle-aged man became a bit anxious. They had rushed all the way here in order to get an idea, and this matter had been pulled out by the lady from the very start. Now that something had happened, if Weaving Dye asked her to shoulder the burden, would it be possible for them to shoulder the burden for her?
"All of you go away, I have something to say to them alone." After a long while, Madam Lin slowly recovered. She pushed away the maidservants standing in front of her and walked up to the two burly men. With a dark expression and a deep voice, she asked, "How many people know about this?" Where is he now? Did anyone discover it? "
As the whole city was busy cleaning up, she racked her brains for a long time before thinking of a way to avoid being discovered.
The most dangerous place was also the safest place. It would be better to just place that person in his own room. After all, the number of times a man came to his room had decreased over the years. Besides, who would have thought that they could place a living person in their own room?
However, she didn't expect that even though it was like this, she was still discovered.
"This... This is what the old master found... "However, he was brought out by us …"
The middle-aged man explained in a somewhat restrained manner. At that time, someone came to the Lin Clan to check on them. The old master led the search, but who would've thought that he would find that person in Madam's room? At that time, the two brothers had wanted to move the others as soon as possible, but who would have thought that the old master's speed would be so fast?
"What?" You... You two useless things, what about the others? What about the bailiffs? Did you see that? "
Although Madam Lin had already expected that the man might see, she still couldn't help but feel a sense of panic when he noticed her. However … Now that things have turned out this way...
"No …." "No, at that time, our brothers knocked the lord out and brought him over the wall. The yamen runners still haven't come …"
Shaking his head, the middle-aged man was covered in sweat. Although he said that he had run out, Fang Zhi still remembered that he was covered in cold sweat. Luckily, he had run out.
"Good, very good! This time … Hmph, I'll take it that you've made up for your mistake. Listen up, you have to watch him carefully. You can't make the slightest mistake, or else … Not only you all but me, don't even think about getting away with it! " In order to curry favor with the person above, she had immediately contacted the person above after capturing the youth.
Sure enough, that person was very satisfied with this youngster. He had already sent someone to deliver the message, and now that the situation was tense, he would personally come to pick him up when things had eased down a bit.
If they lost someone, they wouldn't be able to survive.
"Yes, yes, we brothers know. Next time, we'll definitely …"
"We... We... "It's just that right now we don't know where to hide them …"
The two brothers were also drenched in cold sweat from fright. Right now, the entire Jincheng City was filled with search runners. The two brothers really had no other choice but to find a suitable place to hide the person.
"This... Let me think about this... Think about it, the person up there is very satisfied with this young man. You know in your hearts, those people who have no roots, their hearts are fiercer than anyone else, if... "You know what your fate is …" Where was he hiding? This was indeed a very serious question, and finding such a place would be an easy task. Madam Lin did not know what to do, but at this point in time, she did not forget to give these two brothers a good beating so that they would not be afraid and ruin her plans.
"Yes …" "Yes, we brothers know that it is our good fortune to be able to work for our father-in-law."
"Right, right, it's our luck to be able to find the young man that our father-in-law likes."
