Chapter 45 Presumptuous! Are you molesting this girl?
Chapter 45 Presumptuous! Are you teasing me?
Then Liang Wuji waved his hand to the guard behind him and ordered: "Go and get the two boxes from the carriage."
The old woman who was following their carriage just now changed her face when she heard that Liang Wuji was going to bring the two boxes.
The thing in one of the boxes... was the Dongzhu that the second master had promised to give to the third miss.
If the third lady did not get Dongzhu when she returned to the house, she would not dare to challenge the second master, but she would definitely be blamed for the matter.
The old woman hunched forward and said, "Second Master, weren't the things in that box meant to be brought to Miss Third?"
"Now that I'm back, if I know that you gave this precious object to an outsider... you're still a bunch of idiots, this, Miss Third..."
Liang Wuji held the two boxes in his hands and said with unclear meaning: "I don't know when my lovely nanny became so sincere to the third lady!"
The old woman, Nanny Lin, was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and defended with a frightened look on her face: "Second Master Mingjian, I have always been loyal to Miss Qi and have never had second thoughts."
Liang Wuji didn't have any soft-heartedness, and the fact that his daughter was almost lost this time was definitely related to Granny Lin.
He said: "We will find out if she is loyal and sincere, take her down and interrogate her carefully, then take Nanny Lin away."
"yes!"
Two guards stepped forward and grabbed Granny Lin's arms and dragged her down.
"Second Master, you can't do this to me. When I was still alive... wuwuwu"
The guard thought she was making a lot of noise, so he tore off a part of Granny Lin's clothes and stuffed it into her mouth.
The world is finally quiet.
When Liang Wuji looked at Jiang Zhiyue and the Jiang family again, he returned to his gentle look, and Zhou Wei also walked over with the little girl in her arms.
Liang Wuji handed the two boxes to Jiang Zhiyue.
"I don't have anything valuable when I go out. I hope you can accept a small gift. There are some Dongzhu in this box, so I gave them to the girl."
Jiang Zhiyue was not being pretentious, she indeed saved their daughter's life, otherwise we still wouldn't know whose belly it would be.
She took the box and said, "You don't have to be so polite, it's just a matter of convenience."
The corners of Liang Wuji's mouth twitched. If you hadn't picked up things so quickly, I would have believed you.
However, she didn't think Jiang Zhiyue was greedy for money. On the contrary, she felt that she was straightforward and unpretentious, and she had a good impression of her.
Zhou Wei also said: "The girl's family is also going to the south. We will live in Dingxi General's Mansion. If you need anything in the future, come to us and we will definitely try our best to help."
After saying that, he handed Jiang Zhiyue a jade pendant as a token.
Jiang Zhiyue said: "Then thank you both in advance."
"You're welcome, girl. You helped us bring our daughter back. It's up to us to thank you." Zhou Wei said with great gratitude.
Liang Wuji raised his head and looked into the crowd of Jiang family, and suddenly saw two figures who looked very familiar.
One of them was Bai Yifeng. When he followed his elder brother to Beijing to report on his duties, he had met the Imperial Master and his disciple Bai Yifeng.
I heard that the Imperial Master resigned at the beginning of the year. How could his disciples be here?
Another familiar figure was Ouyang Ming, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember when he had seen this person, so he simply gave up.
Realizing that they had been recognized, Bai Yifeng walked over and exchanged a few polite words with each other.
Because Liang Wuji was in a hurry to rush back, he left with his team after a while.
Before leaving, Xiao Qiqi, the little girl who had just been rescued, pestered Jiang Zhiyue for a long time, wanting this beautiful sister to follow her.
When Liang Wuji and Zhou Wei saw that their daughter liked Jiang Zhiyue so much, they invited them to go with them.
After all, they brought so many guards with them, so safety on the road was guaranteed.
But when I learned that someone in their team was injured and it was not appropriate to run around now, I stopped trying to persuade them.
As soon as the Liang family's team left, the place became empty again.
After this delay, nearly two hours passed, but the Jiang family didn't plan to rush, so there was no rush.
But God was not kind to them. Before they could rest for a long time, dark clouds came over the sky.
"It's going to rain." Jiang Ming looked up at the sky and said happily.
They traveled continuously for more than three months without any rain.
It's starting to rain now, which means the drought problem will slowly get better.
Everyone also became happy and thought this was a good sign.
But Jiang Zhiyue quickly poured a basin of cold water on her, "It looks like it's going to rain for a long time. We need to find a place to take shelter quickly before it rains."
There was indeed a ruined temple over there where he could stay temporarily, but those people ate people in that temple, which made Jiang Zhiyue feel a little uncomfortable, so she wanted to find a place to stay.
And if they go there, others will naturally find the ruined temple.
There will definitely be a lot of trouble again, and Third Aunt is injured, so we'd better avoid it as much as possible.
Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang thought the same way, so they didn't say anything about it.
Old Mrs. Jiang said: "Didn't Doctor Mu say last time that our tent can protect us from the rain? We can just put up the tent here to protect ourselves from the rain."
Jiang Zhiyue shook her head and explained: "I think the rain will not stop for a day or two. The humidity after the rain is not good for Third Aunt's physical recovery."
"What's more, we are separated in tents. If something happens to anyone, it is difficult to know in time, and it is difficult to solve the problem of eating."
Jiang Zhiyue spoke eloquently, but Mrs. Jiang was quickly shaken.
She said: "The rain is about to start. Where can I find a place to live now?"
"Grandma, don't worry, let's look up the mountain to see if there is a cave where people can live." Jiang Dalang quickly reassured.
Jiang Zhiyue took her father, second uncle, and older brother to the mountains to try their luck.
The others stayed where they were, and if they couldn't find a place before it really rained, they would put up their tents first.
But God still favored them, and Jiang Zhiyue took the four of them to a cave without walking far.
The entrance of the cave is not big, but after entering, there is a different cave. It is in the shape of a semi-fan, and there is a lot of space inside. They can pull livestock and carts in.
There was also a stone couch inside with some dry straw on it, and there were signs of burning on the ground.
Jiang Zhiyue guessed that someone must have lived here before.
Several people are very happy, it will definitely be very convenient for them to live here.
There were more and more dark clouds gathering in the sky, but no rain fell. It looked like a heavy rain was about to gather strength, so they hurried down the mountain to call for help.
The people who stayed there had already started to set up tents as they watched the dark clouds gathering in the sky.
When Jiang Zhiyue and the others came back, they had already set up one.
After hearing that they had found a place to stay, everyone took down the tent again.
Things have been packed just now, and everyone is ready to go at any time.
They did not stop, and drove the bullock cart or push cart with clear division of labor.
The road up the mountain was not smooth, so Bai Yifeng and Mu Ping also helped push the cart behind.
Mr. Jiang Kangde no longer stayed on the cart, but walked slowly with a cane, and Shiro followed beside him.
Ouyang Ming's injury is almost healed, so he won't be a burden on the cart.
However, the injury on my leg happened to make me move a little slowly, so I fell behind as I walked.
Jiang Zhiyue turned around and lost sight of Ouyang Ming, who had been following her just now. She glanced back and met his eyes.
Jiang Zhiyue sighed, forget it, this is also an injury.
She turned around and walked beside Ouyang Ming, who was lagging behind.
Seeing a wooden stick on the ground, Jiang Zhiyue picked it up and handed it to him.
Seeing that he didn't take it, Jiang Zhiyue said fiercely: "Hold it, or I won't care about you if you fall!"
Ouyang Ming chuckled, feeling that she was now like the Persian cat at home, a kitten whose hair would explode at any time.
She always shows her claws fiercely to scare people, but as long as her fur is smoothed, she becomes extremely well-behaved.
Wait, what Persian cat?
A question suddenly popped up in Ouyang Ming's mind.
But that was just a flash, and nothing else came to mind.
He put his mind back and took the wooden stick handed over by Jiang Zhiyue.
"Thank you, Miss Jiang."
"Yeah." Jiang Zhiyue replied a little uncomfortably.
Obviously many people call her Miss Jiang, but every time he calls her out, those three words feel particularly lingering.
Jiang Zhiyue felt that the problem was definitely not her fault, so she glanced at Ouyang Ming doubtfully.
"What's wrong, is there something dirty on my face?" Ouyang Ming asked with a smile.
He didn't care at all whether there was dirt on his face, but it was very interesting to see Jiang Zhiyue like this, and he wanted to tease her a little more.
"Yes, there is dust on your face." Jiang Zhiyue raised her chin and started talking nonsense.
Ouyang Ming took advantage of the situation and said, "Miss Jiang, could you please help me point it out, I can't see clearly."
Jiang Zhiyue stretched out her finger and pointed, "It's on the left side of your face."
Ouyang Ming put his hand on the other side of his face and said, "On the left? Why did I see it was on the right?"
Jiang Zhiyue was stunned and asked, "How could you see it?"
"I saw it in Miss Jiang's eyes." Ouyang Ming chuckled, obviously in a good mood.
But seeing Jiang Zhiyue looking like she was about to explode again, he added, "But since Miss Jiang said the dust is on the left, it must be on the left."
After saying this, he put his hand on the left side of his face and wiped it, then looked at Jiang Zhiyue with a smile.
Jiang Zhiyue's heart: How presumptuous! Are you teasing this girl?
The tips of her ears felt a little hot, and Jiang Zhiyue glanced at Ouyang Ming resentfully, feeling that beauty must be misleading.
After pinching her earlobe, Jiang Zhiyue glared at Ouyang Ming and strode to the front of the team.
Ouyang Ming did not follow.
The cave that Jiang Zhiyue and the others found just now has just arrived.
The entrance to the cave was not big, and only one cart could pass through it at a time, so they drove their livestock in one after another.
It took them a full two-quarters of an hour to pull everything in and arrange it to one side of the cave.
The rain outside has not fallen for a long time, which makes people feel stuffy.
They planned to go outside to collect some firewood before it rained.
