Chapter 220 You will kill us both
Sitting on the shaft of the carriage was the driver, a man wearing a sheepskin hat.
Suxue was about to go up and ask for directions, but when she saw the man's face was sinister and his eyes were not squinting, she gave up the idea and stood blankly among the green plants and sighed secretly.
Suxue turned around resignedly and was about to walk away. Suddenly she felt a keen gaze on her. Suxue looked back as if she was feeling something. There seemed to be a white light flickering in the window of the carriage, and a white ball streaked across the yard.
Suxue blinked and looked carefully again. The carriage had already reached the entrance of the next courtyard, and the windows were still tightly blocked, with no sign of being opened.
Suxue was a little confused. She clearly felt a flash of light just now. Could it be that she was dazzled and had hallucinations? She shook her head gently. She was probably too tired these days because she was rushing and messing with bean sprouts.
Didn't see clearly.
Suxue came out of the green plants. As she walked, she was thinking about the doubts in her heart. Suddenly she felt a bump under her feet. She lowered her head and saw a ball of white cloth on the ground, with a hint of green jade revealed in the cloth.
Suxue instinctively looked around and saw that there was still no one, so she knelt down and picked up the ball of cloth.
Wrapped inside the cloth was a crystal clear jade Guanyin pendant. Suxue didn't know much about jade, so just by looking at the jade's seed water, she knew it was not an ordinary piece.
Suxue unfolded the jade-wrapped cotton strip and couldn't help but squint her pupils. There were a few crooked words written on the strip. The dark red color looked like solidified blood. This was a blood book.
Suxue took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and then silently recited the words above, "Save the kidnapper and find the county magistrate."
What does this mean? Help, someone is calling for help? Kidnapper, there is a kidnapper in Jia Dashan’s house? Then, do you want her to go to the county magistrate to rescue the person who wrote the blood letter?
Suxue was thinking about it when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps not far away. She hurriedly put her things into the space, her mind spinning rapidly.
Suxue turned around and pretended to walk slowly towards the Moon Gate, one step, two steps... five steps...
"Miss Suxue, where are you going?"
The voice of the little girl behind her made Suxue exhale. She pretended not to hear it and continued walking forward.
I didn't want to, but the little girl behind me became anxious, "Stop quickly, you can't go forward, that's a restricted area."
Suxue seemed to have just heard the voice behind her. She slowly turned around and saw the little girl who had led her to the convenience store chasing after her in a panic.
Suxue suddenly felt as if she had seen the savior, exclaiming exaggeratedly: "It's you, but I found you, where have you been? Why can't I find you when I come out of the hut?"
The little girl's eyes flickered. She just took advantage of the time she was waiting for Suxue to play with a familiar friend she had just met. When she came back, she could not find Suxue.
Suxue didn't seem to notice the little girl's discomfort, so she took her hand and walked towards the Moon Gate, "Hurry up, go through the Moon Gate and you'll find the main courtyard. Let's go there quickly. I'm in a hurry to go home."
"
The little girl hurriedly grabbed Suxue and said, "You are going the wrong way, not over there."
Suxue said carelessly: "That's right, isn't that the Moon Gate? Let's go quickly."
The little girl couldn't stop shouting to Suxue, and her face turned pale in panic. She leaned down and dragged her, saying: "Don't leave, you will kill us both."
Suxue seemed to realize something at this moment. She stopped and asked strangely: "What are you talking about? Isn't that the main courtyard over there? How could it kill us two?"
Seeing that Suxue finally stopped, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, and then concealed herself and said: "That's not the main courtyard, that's..., well, I don't know where that is, but the steward has ordered that all the servants
You can't pass through the moon gate, otherwise you will be punished."
Suxue said nonchalantly: "Don't scare people, it's just a yard. Your master is such a kind person, but how severe the punishment can be. How about we go try it and see if he will be killed in the end."
The little girl held Suxue's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would really go there, "Don't go there, I didn't scare you, it will really kill someone if you go there. Sister Little Green was killed because she passed the moon gate.
I found out and got thirty slaps on my face, and I never saw her again."
Suxue then became serious and asked, "Did you send her home?"
The little girl pursed her lips and said, "Sister Little Green didn't give birth to her son at home, she bought her from outside. She doesn't even know where her home is."
Seeing the little girl's trembling look, Suxue comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I guess your little green sister has been betrayed."
The little girl said: "I don't know very well. The sisters in the yard didn't tell me, and we didn't even dare to ask." The little girl muttered again in a low voice: "They said that the Jia family has always only bought people, how can they sell people?
Woolen cloth."
Does that mean Xiaolu has disappeared? Suxue shivered inexplicably, and was thankful that she didn't ask the coachman for directions just now.
Seeing that she couldn't ask for any more information, Suxue followed the little girl back to the main courtyard.
Mrs. Jia had already come back. When she saw Suxue coming back, she said enthusiastically: "Miss Suxue, the bean sprouts you gave us are really delicious. I have heard it from people, including several big restaurants in the town.
Selling this kind of vegetable became popular throughout the town in less than a day. Is the bean sprouts in the restaurant supplied by your family?"
Suxueqiang answered with all her strength: "My father and the others sent it to the restaurant."
Mrs. Jia knew that they were passing through here on their way west, but she didn't ask about the origin of the bean sprouts. She just said angrily: "Then you ask your family to send some to my house tomorrow, and I will pay you according to the price of the restaurant."
Suxue smiled and said: "If you want to try something new, I will send you some tomorrow morning. The things we produce at home are not worth buying, so don't say whether you can buy them or not."
Mrs. Jia said cheerfully: "We have a large family, and we need thirty kilograms at a time. How can you afford to send so much in your small business? Just ask someone to deliver the goods tomorrow, and we will pay. That's it.
."
There are bean sprouts growing in the space every day. Under normal circumstances, if they don't meet the seller, they will collect the bean sprouts and temporarily store them in the space to keep fresh. Tomorrow, it is completely necessary to prepare an extra thirty kilograms of goods for Madam Jia.
Can be satisfied.
Suxue smiled and nodded in agreement.
Jia Rujin was already asleep. Suxue had a good conversation with Lady Jia and stood up to leave.
Madam Jia didn't stay any longer this time. She simply gave Suxue fifty taels of silver and packed some snacks before having the children sent to the market stall in a carriage.
Seeing that Suxue and the other two people came back safely, Ms. Yang let out a long breath.
San Sheng glanced at Mrs. Yang and smiled at Suxue: "You guys took too long to go. Your third wife almost forced me to go to Jia Mansion to find you."
Suxue just smiled at Ms. Yang and then sat listlessly aside to rest. Everyone thought she was tired and didn't pay much attention.
Si Sheng also returned to the stall. Suxue listened absently to Si Sheng telling everyone that today's bean sprouts had all been sold. She also vaguely heard Wang Zeran telling Si Sheng about the Jia family's request for bean sprouts.
What everyone said later, Suxue didn't even listen to it.
