There was a heavy iron lock hanging on the compartment, which was split open by Mi Zihan's sword. The door was slowly opened, and under the light of the fire, it turned out to be a person huddled in the compartment.
The man was dazzled by the light and frightened. He covered his eyes with his hands and made a whining sound.
The men who were following Mi Zihan were all stunned. No one knew what was going on. No one knew who this person was. They didn’t dare to think about it, and no one dared to speak out. In the past, no matter how vicious the criminals were, they could
I've caught it before, but it's never been this weird before.
Jian Yu gently touched Shao Hua who was standing at the door, glanced at the people behind him, and whispered: "Everyone, please stay away and be quiet."
Shaohua suddenly woke up and quickly retreated to the edge of the yard.
At this moment, Mi Zihan's anger and grief gathered together. He has always been a strong and cold person, and now he definitely doesn't want others to see his vulnerability.
Bai Yue asked everyone to hold the torches above the shadow, and raised his hand to stop Mi Zihan from moving over. The people in the compartment didn't know what the situation was like. Their physical condition was secondary. The key was their mental condition. If Mi Zihan was too excited,
It may cause him secondary harm.
Mi Zihan now obeyed Bai Yue's words. As soon as Bai Yue raised his hand, he suppressed his excitement and stopped abruptly, motionless.
Bai Yue slowly approached, squatted down at the door of the cubicle, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, we are here to save you."
Hearing Bai Yue speak, the man trembled even more.
At this time, he was so close that Bai Yue could see clearly. He was indeed a young man, male. Although he was terribly thin, he was actually quite tall. This compartment was too small for him. He had to stand in it.
If you can't stand up, you probably won't be able to straighten your back even when sitting, which is very painful.
But Bai Yue was actually a little relieved.
The young man heard her voice was very gentle, which was different from the scolding and scolding she had been doing these days. He slowly put down his hand and looked over.
Bai Yue looked at him gently, with his hands behind his back, he waved towards Mi Zihan, and then made a downward movement.
Mi Zihan understood instantly, and immediately squatted down. Like Bai Yue, he also squatted at the door of the cubicle, and was as tall as the boy.
He opened his eyes wide and tried hard to see, but the cubicle was dark, and the young man was unkempt, his hair was messy, his face was covered with mud, and his facial features could not be seen clearly.
"It's too small inside, how about we come out." Bai Yue said, slowly reaching out his hand, but he didn't touch the boy directly, he just put his hand within the boy's reach.
A long time passed, but no one spoke or moved. Everyone waited so patiently. During this period, Chen Nian still wanted to struggle, but Shao Hua slapped him unconscious and threw him to the ground.
"I'm here to take you home. The bad guys have been beaten away." Jian Yu listened to Bai Yue's gentle coaxing from the side, and his thoughts went out. He felt that he could safely leave all the children at home to her in the future.
I don't know how long it took, but the young man finally stretched out his hand to Bai Yue. Bai Yue didn't mind his dirty hands at all. After holding it, he used some strength to take it out.
Mi Zihan quickly reached out to protect the young man's head to prevent him from hitting the wooden board.
The young man had been trapped in a narrow place for a long time and was not used to the spaciousness outside. Bai Yue supported him and comforted him softly, kneading the joints of his hands and feet. After a while, he stood up straight.
Mi Zihan didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He wanted to go over and take a closer look, but he didn't dare.
The young man's eyes moved slowly and suddenly fell on the old couple who had been knocked unconscious and thrown together in the yard. The young man let out a short frightened cry, hugged Bai Yue, and put his head on Bai Yue's shoulder.
He made a vague sound of fear.
The barn itself smelled bad, but the young man smelled even worse. He was half a head taller than Bai Yue, so he jumped forward so unexpectedly that he almost knocked her down.
Jian Yu was standing at the door of the shed, his face turned dark, he raised his legs and walked inside.
For such a big man, even a young man is a man. He still doesn't know whether his true identity is friend or foe, so it would be inappropriate and unsafe to hold Bai Yue in his arms like this.
Bai Yue also looked miserable, but while repeatedly waving his hands to Jian Yu to calm down, he gently patted the young man on the back.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Bai Yue said: "They have been arrested and will not hurt you. Brother is here to find you... Brother will protect you..."
Mi Zihan glanced at Jian Yu, his eyes full of guilt. If this young man was really his younger brother, then the favor he owed would be huge.
With the words "brother," the young man seemed to be suddenly stunned, and he slowly raised his head.
Bai Yue hooked his hand towards Mi Zihan, and Mi Zihan slowly leaned closer.
Bai Yue pushed back the young man's messy hair, revealing a thin face. The young man's eyes fell on Mi Zihan's face, and Mi Zihan did not dare to move.
Although this young man's face was covered in mud, he could vaguely see clearly under the light of a torch. His eyes, mouth, nose, and eyebrows were exactly what Bai Yue had drawn.
He has been searching for twelve years and has visited countless places. But who would have thought that in a place he passes by almost every day, his brother who should be well-fed and well-fed is actually right under his nose, suffering and toiling like an animal.
He was tortured, beaten and scolded, and struggled for twelve years.
Mi Zihan said softly: "Zi Yang, I am your brother, do you still remember me?"
The young man was stunned for a while, then suddenly burst into tears.
Mi Zihan couldn't bear it any longer. He stepped forward and hugged the young man tightly in his arms. After twelve years of pursuit, he was lost and found. No matter how hard-hearted he was, he couldn't help but wet the corners of his eyes.
"It's better than I thought." Bai Yue whispered to Jian Yu, and finally walked out of the barn. Then he couldn't help but start wiping his face, hair, and hands with a handkerchief, and then gave up helplessly.
Compared to Jian Yu who was just covered in the smell, Bai Yue looked like he had rolled out of a pig farm.
Jian Yu took the water from the servant on the side and helped her wipe the stains on her face, and couldn't help but said: "How do you say this?"
"You see he can stand up straight. I checked the bones of his limbs and there is nothing wrong with them. If he is such a tall person, if he has been in such a low cubicle, his back must be deformed and his legs have atrophied."
Jian Yu thought about it and said, "So you think he was imprisoned recently."
"I think so." Bai Yue said: "It is very likely that they were nervous and scared after being discovered by Mi Zihan a while ago, so they were locked in the shed. But they must have been living under intimidation before, so they had some mental problems...
…call……"
Bai Yue finally couldn't bear it any longer: "No, I'm going to be smoked to death by myself. Mi Ziyang has been found, so let's not worry about the rest. I want to go back and change my clothes quickly."
This matter involves Mi Zihan's father's aunt. Although it is a kidnapping case, it is still a family matter. The family scandal cannot be publicized, so it is not appropriate to ask more questions.
Seeing the Mi Zihan brothers holding each other and crying, Jian Yu whispered a few words to Shao Hua and then quietly left with Bai Yue.
Bai Yue is a person who really doesn't care about luxury and elegance, but she really loves cleanliness. She doesn't frown every day when the corpse scene is dirty and disgusting, but now that the matter is resolved, she can't bear it anymore.
Fortunately, hot water is always ready in Jian's house. Peggy has been tortured these days and has become accustomed to various situations. She has seen bloody ones, let alone smelly ones.
"Miss, are you greedy with the young master? Have you gone to catch pigs yourself?" Peggy asked her soulful question while throwing flower petals into the water. She just felt that the master really knew how to play.
"Want to play? I'll take you with me next time." Bai Yue rolled his eyes and took off his clothes in three swipes. He didn't care that the things in his sleeves fell to the floor and soaked in the tub.
inside.
"I don't think so." Peggy covered her mouth and smiled secretly, then put away the clothes on the floor.
"Hey, that's right." Bai Yue suddenly remembered something: "Take everything else away. I have a sachet embroidered with peonies in my clothes. Put that one on the table for me. Don't mix it with the others."
Peggy pinched her nose and picked through it, then took out a sachet: "Is this the one?"
Bai Yue soaked in the water, sighed comfortably, and took it over: "Yes, let alone the little girl's hands, well... you little girls, you all have pretty hands."
Regardless of young lady or maid, being a female celebrity in this era is a necessary skill. In fact, only Bai Yue can't do it.
Bai Yue unfolded the sachet in the palm of his hand and looked at it. The peonies were in full bloom, with luxuriant branches and leaves. In the corner, there were three words embroidered on them, "The leaves are happy."
Peggy was still nagging: "My hands are not good at all. It's Miss you..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Yue trembled as if he had been pricked by a needle. He straightened his back and tried to stand up. But as soon as he exerted his strength, he slipped on the towel and fell into the tub.
"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough..." Bai Yue almost drowned himself in the bathtub.
"Miss, miss, what's wrong with you?" Peggy was shocked and rushed to get her.
"It's okay, cough, cough, leave me alone..." Bai Yue refused to let Peggy take care of it. He waved his hands and said repeatedly: "Go and call the young master. Go and call the young master."
