Chapter 244 Something Big Has Happened (Add More, Ask for a Ticket)

Zheng Wuji ate a meal without any taste, and after a little bit of digestion, the game of poker started again.

Butter candle bright corner lamp, ivory dice a little red.

Shouting, sound of dominoes, laughter and cursing all mixed together, wrapping people tightly, like being wrapped in a dream mixed with gold powder and silver foil.

Zheng Wuji felt the cards in his hand, his mind drifted away again.

Could someone like her be sick?
Tired and sick?
Are you tired?
Is she still in the same stable state when she is sick?

It must be ugly.

Xiajia urged him several times in a row before he just woke up and threw a card.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Zheng!" The next family was short of this card, so they happily took it.

"Uncle Zheng, how do you play this one?" The others were puzzled, "You can't lose like this even if you run a bank!"

Zheng Wuji smiled and said: "It's no fun to win all the time, it's refreshing to lose twice."

He retracted his wandering thoughts, pulled himself together, and won two hands in a row.

But before I knew it, I lost my mind again and lost all the money I just won.

Someone at the next table asked, "What time is it?"

Someone replied: "It's the first quarter of the unitary hour, and the city gate will be closed in half an hour."

Zheng Wuji couldn't sit still all of a sudden, he felt that the chairs were sticking to his buttocks, people were noisy, and whoever had body odor made him have a headache.

It happened that Shangjia held a card and thought about it for a long time, wanted to play it, but suddenly took it back, and then picked up another card to continue thinking.

Zheng Wuji urged impatiently: "Which one do you want out?!"

The man was not happy, and retorted: "It's not that you were dawdling just now, can't I fight after I think about it?!"

"Do you still have to think about it until dawn?!" Zheng Wuji didn't know where his anger came from.

"I'll just wait for dawn! You can't afford to lose and don't play!" The man was not to be outdone.

"If you don't play, then don't play!" Zheng Wuji pushed away the cards in front of him, and called out to the following boy: "Xiao Shun! Pull the horse! Let's go!"

Xiao Shun immediately agreed to lead the horse, and the manager of the villa came over to be a peacemaker: "Uncle Zheng is not playing anymore? Then come back another day."

"After finishing the calculation tomorrow, go to our house to get the money." Zheng Wuji stretched his waist and said, "I'll go first."

After he left, someone came over and sat down immediately to complete the game.

At this time, the sky outside is full of stars, and the northwest wind is blowing, although it is not too strong, it is also bitter.

Zheng Wuji tightened his cloak and got on the horse, Xiao Shun led the horse out of the villa.

They were heading east, and the wind was fairly smooth, and there were no pedestrians on the road. At this time, basically no one came in or out.

After walking for a while, Zheng Wuji wanted to relieve himself, so he told Xiao Shun to stop.

"You wait here, I'll go over there to relieve your hand." Zheng Wuji jumped off the horse and walked to the south, where there was a mountain depression, with the wind and the people behind.

Xiao Shun followed Zheng Wuji all the year round, he was used to it, leaning on the horse's head, with his face turned to the wind, waiting for Zheng Wuji to come back.

Why did the uncle suddenly want to go back today?

Xiao Shun thought while waiting, but he was still thinking about Grandma?
But he doesn't like this grandma at all!

If you don't like it, you will be a little bit concerned, right?
Or do you want to go back and watch the fun?
Xiao Shun was thinking wildly, he never understood, the eldest grandma is so good, like the moon in the sky, how could the uncle still have the heart to ignore her?
These little servants talked in private, saying that Aunt Liu was too far behind Grandma.

Whose family has a daughter-in-law like a grandma, that is a high incense burnt by the ancestors.

Uncle Hua once drank too much, and said that the uncle had blind eyes and could not see gold and jade.

"The flowers are stuck on the cow dung!" Uncle Hua hummed, "The cow dung can't go up the wall!"

Uncle Hua is very courageous, but he dare not.

At most, he felt that the uncle's eyes were covered with cow dung.

The horse moved its hooves a little uneasily, Xiao Shun suddenly trembled, it has been a long time since the uncle left, why hasn't he come back yet?
Xiao Shun pulled the horse, and while calling "Master", he walked towards the col that Zheng Wuji went to before.

He was holding a lantern in his hand, and the light wasn't too far away, but he could tell that there was no one there.

Xiao Shun called a few more times, but still no one answered, so he had to tie his horse to the book at the side, carried the lantern and continued walking.

A few clumps of weeds, two stone walls, and no other place to hide.

"Master! Where are you? Don't scare me." Xiao Shun's voice was trembling, and he couldn't tell whether it was cold or scared.

The only answer to him was whistling wind.

"It shouldn't be, the uncle is obviously coming this way," Xiaoshun tried to calm himself down, "This place can't fall!"

Xiao Shun looked around again, but there was no one there.

"Master, where are you? Don't scare me." Xiao Shun shouted, pulling his neck, his voice was shattered by the wind, and there was no reply for a long time.

He stood there, bewildered.

Finally decided to try again.

"Although the uncle said he drank a few glasses of wine at dinner, he won't get drunk at all." Xiao Shun said to himself while searching, "There is only such a leeward boundary around here, he can't go anywhere else. !"

I searched again along the original route, but still didn't see Zheng Wuji's shadow.

Xiaoshun hesitated whether to go back to the villa, and asked the people there to help him find it.

He walked over to lead the horse, and inadvertently glanced, there seemed to be something in the crevice of the stone over there.

He walked over, held up the lantern to shine it, and saw that it was a stone pressing a piece of paper.

He knelt down and took out the paper.

Folded squarely, there are words inside.

It was a letter.

Xiao Shun squatted, blocked the wind with his body, and opened the letter tremblingly in front of his chest.

He is literate, and Zheng Wuji was also accompanied by him when he was studying in his early years.Zheng Wuji didn't learn well, but he learned a lot of characters along with him.

The lantern was dimly illuminated, and the words on the paper were quite scribbled.

After Xiaoshun finished reading, he couldn't help calling "Mother".

I stood up and ran towards the city. After running a few steps, I remembered that I still had a horse, so I hurried back to lead the horse.

After taking the horse for a few steps, I remembered that riding a horse was faster, and I didn't care about anything else, so I rode on the horse and ran towards the city.

He rode his horse and galloped all the way into the city. Fortunately, there were no people on the street at this time.

When he arrived at the gate of Zheng's mansion, Xiao Shun rolled off his saddle and knocked on the door desperately.

The gatekeepers all fell asleep, and shouted impatiently: "How could someone knock on the door like this in the middle of the night? Reporting a funeral!"

Putting on his clothes, he got up and opened the door. Seeing that it was Xiao Shun, he asked, "Why are you back? Where's the uncle?"

Xiao Shun's head was covered with sweat, his eyes became very big and dark, and he said with trembling lips, "I want to see Grandma!"

"No, grandma is sick and has already fallen asleep." The porter said, "Go and call the housekeeper!"

"Something has happened!" Xiao Shun said, "The housekeeper is not good!"

As he said that, he ran in, and the porter chased after him: "What's the big deal?"

"My uncle has kidnapped someone!" Xiao Shun was so anxious that he died, "You pay attention to the door, they may still send a letter!"

　I don't know if there are friends who are in the same bad mood as me. I hope you can get better soon.
