Across the Market

Chapter 233

At that time, after the two fell down the mountain, Zhu Fu had already passed out, but Xie Tong still had a sliver of reason.When a woodcutter passed by, Xie Tong called for help, and both of them were saved by the woodcutter.

The woodcutter, surnamed Lin, is over 50 years old. There is no son in the family, and the two daughters were married early.

Xie Tong glanced at Zhu Fu's face for a while, then retracted it gently, left the work in hand, walked up to her and said, "I'm fine, is your head still hurting?" He didn't know that Aunt Lin had already taken him I told Zhu Fu about waiting at the bedside day and night, so I'm still putting on airs and pretending not to care very much, but I'm actually looking forward to her answer in my heart.

Zhu Fu slightly opened his eyes, nodded and said, "It's all right."

Aunt Lin came out with a sieve and saw the two of them standing outside with embarrassing expressions on their faces, so she came over with a smile and said, "Hey, look at you young couple, stand here for more sun, come in quickly. Your Uncle Lin is coming up today." Go to town, I told him to buy some meat, and later you guys try the dishes made by your aunt."

Xie Tong raised his hand and touched his nose, and glanced at Zhu Fu intentionally or unintentionally, because he also wanted to eat her cooking.

Zhu Fu didn't look at Xie Tong, but went directly to Aunt Lin: "Auntie, let me cook for you, I know how to cook."

This family is at the foot of the mountain, not counting in Songyang County. There are only a few families living here.

Either going up the mountain to cut firewood, or going into the mountain to hunt, life is plain but warm.

After a while, Uncle Lin came back from the market in the town, with chicken, duck and fish on the donkey cart, and bought some clothes.

Zhu Fu accompanied Aunt Lin to cook, while Xie Tong helped Uncle Lin go up the mountain to chop firewood.

But when Xie Tong came back carrying the burden, he found Aunt Lin lying in a pool of blood, still dying.Seeing this, Uncle Lin threw himself down in front of his wife crying and said, "What's going on? What's going on? Old lady, don't leave me."

The burden on Xie Tong's shoulders fell to the ground in an instant, and he ran into the house to look for someone, but he didn't see that figure.

Aunt Lin still held her last breath, just waiting for his wife to come back to see him for the last time, and also wanted to tell Xie Tong that those who took Miss Zhu away would stay.

"A group of people came, and there was a woman who was very luxuriously dressed..." Aunt Lin coughed, reached out and grabbed Xie Tong's robe, and said, "That woman took Miss Zhu away, and she also said Now, as long as she wants to do, she can definitely do it. Go and save her, it's too late, I'm afraid it's... I'm afraid it's..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she didn't catch her breath, and Aunt Lin fell sideways in a pool of blood.

Xie Tong endured the severe pain in his heart. He squatted beside Aunt Lin and said in a low voice: "I am the one who harmed you. Don't worry, Auntie. I will definitely not make your sacrifice in vain." He was ruthless, full of anger, and his fists were clenched, "Li Liuguang..."

In a manor in Jinling, Li Liuguang was sitting under a tree drinking tea in the garden, when she saw someone walking quickly, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, then she sat upright and asked casually: "How is it? Is that girl willing to hand over the recipe?"

"If you go back to the county master, don't look at that girl who looks delicate and coquettish, but her bones are very hard. No matter how intimidating and lure our people are, she refuses to hand over the recipe." Get up, spit and said, "It's just a little girl with no name, if you don't obey me, just be her!"

Li Liuguang looked at the young man and said, "Nowadays, the No. [-] person that even the fourth prince of the dynasty knows, the person that even Xie Tong swears to protect her to the death, do you think the county lord can get rid of it without any scruples?" Li Liuguang Although she spoke calmly, there was a ferocious look in those beautiful eyes, her slender fingers tightly gripped the handrail and said, "However, you can torture her, the county lord wants to see, How far can the eldest son of the Xie family sacrifice for her?"

The young servant's expression froze, and he immediately backed out in response.

Li Liuguang slowly lay down in the armchair again, with a maid beside her gently shaking the fan for her, fanning her once and for all.

After a while, another maid came in hurriedly and said, "Master, Miss Cao is here."

"Oh?" Li Liuguang smiled slightly, then sat up straight again, raised his hand and said, "Hurry up and invite Miss Cao in, what are you doing here in a daze! Miss Cao is from Jinling Academy Dean Cao's only daughter, the most beautiful woman in Jinling City, is no worse than you guys with thick skin and tanned skin, who can afford it."

"Yes, servant girl is going now." The maidservant was startled when she heard the sound, she quickly shrank her neck and went out.

After a while, a tall girl in a crimson skirt came walking with lotus steps. Her skin was as white as snow, her hair was as black as ink, and her long oval face was impeccably exquisite.

"Meet the county magistrate." After Cao Jinshu approached, he bowed Yingying, but before he could bend down, he was supported by Li Liuguang.
