The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 521 Peach Blossom (2)
What Aunt Dumb wrote down was: Shen Yuehua, was poisoned and became dumb.

He wiped away the words written by the dumb girl with a few feet, bent down and grabbed the dumb girl's arm, and pulled the dumb girl up from the ground.He stared closely at the face of the dumb girl.

While crying, the dumb aunt shook her hands to push back her messy hair, just to let Gu Ruixing see her face clearly.

Although her face was full of tears and she was in a state of distress, the peerless appearance in her impression could not be mistaken.However, there was an inch-long scar on the right cheek, which made it difficult to perfect the former peerless appearance.The surprise was only for a moment, and then something flickered in his eyes.Soon, he calmed down, let go of the dumb girl's arm, and threw the torch in his hand to the officers and soldiers beside him.

The dumb girl stared at him blankly, terrified in her heart.

With a sullen face, he took off the cloak he had put on for the convenience of blending into the night, and threw it on the dumb girl, "Put it on."

The dumb girl nodded sharply, and wrapped herself tightly with the cloak, covering her head.

He looked towards the courtyard, "Is there a secret passage here?"

The dumb girl looked up at him and walked straight into the courtyard.

He followed immediately.

Entering the room where "Second Master" used to live, the dumb aunt pointed at the messy bed.At that time, she didn't see the second and third masters entering the secret passage, but she saw the scene where the people behind were groping for the mechanism on the bed.

Soon, the officers and soldiers found the mechanism hidden inside the bed.It's just that no matter how you do it, the mechanism can't be opened.

Gu Ruixing ordered, "Break it open." With the mechanism, the lower part must be empty, and if you break it open by force, you can see the entrance of the secret passage.

Someone immediately went out and called Cai Jian.Cai Jian held his own double hammer and told everyone to get out of the way, then he swung the hammer and smashed the bed.The bed board was smashed, exposing the stone slab below.After a while, the stone slab was finally broken open, revealing the entrance to the secret passage below.

Gu Ruixing instructed to be careful.A group of officers and soldiers chased people along the entrance of the secret passage with torches in one hand and weapons in the other.

The secret path is not long.The officers and soldiers walked out of the exit and quickly identified the direction.This is an abandoned courtyard in the last private house.The exit is hidden in a woodshed full of dust and cobwebs.Two people went back to ask Gu Ruixing if they wanted to search from house to house.The rest stayed behind to search the surrounding area.

Gu Ruixing pondered for a moment and then ordered, "Assemble, withdraw." Zhou Boyan's instructions did not include this item, he did not want to disturb the people on his own initiative.

In the middle of the night, Gu Ruixing led the horse by the reins, and on his horse sat a man wrapped in black who couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman.Behind, Cai Jian and the other four led their horses and followed.Behind them were nearly a hundred uniformed officers and soldiers on foot, as well as four or five people supporting the wounded.

They entered the post house next to the yamen.Cai Jian was arranging for the officers and soldiers to see their wounds and rest, but Gu Ruixing held the reins and stood there motionless, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, Gu Ruixing said, "You guys rest, remember to send someone to guard the town gate before it opens." After finishing speaking, he turned his horse's head and left the posthouse.

Qingshu was fast asleep when someone tapped the window frame lightly.The tap sound is very regular, tap three times and then pause, tap once and pause three times, and so on.Qingshu woke up, lay still and listened carefully, then got up immediately.She pulled on her slipper-like embroidered shoes, stepped carefully, came to the window and asked softly, "Who is outside?"

Du Huwei lowered his voice and reported, "Mr. Gu asked to see him, and said that he had something important to ask Miss face to face."

Qing Shu said wait a moment, went back to the bed and changed out of the cool pajamas, and quickly put them on.

The little fish sleeping in the ear room said sleepily, "Miss, are you thirsty? This servant will pour you some water."

Qing Shu, who was about to go out alone, stopped, "Since you are awake, get dressed quickly and go out with me."

Not long after, Xiaoyu led the way with a lantern, followed by Qingshu, and walked out of the small courtyard where he lived.

Guard Du who was waiting outside the courtyard saw him and said, "He's in the east hall of the front courtyard."

In the east side hall, Qingshu left Xiaoyu outside, and walked inside alone.I saw Gu Ruixing standing on the ground, and a person wrapped in a black cloak sat on the guest seat on the left.

She withdrew her probing gaze and looked at Gu Ruixing, "What time is it, won't we talk about it tomorrow morning?"

Gu Ruixing's expression was very serious, "Sister Shu, if it's not a last resort, Sixth Brother will not disturb my sister's clear dream. This is Sixth Brother's cousin and niece. Due to various reasons, Sixth Brother met her tonight. Sixth Brother I couldn't find a place to put her, so I thought of my sister. I hope my sister can take care of her for a few days, and Brother Six will arrange to take her home as soon as possible."

Encountered in the middle of the night, there must be reasons that cannot be explained.Qing Shu agreed, "Don't worry, since we are relatives, I will take care of them with all my heart."

"Sister, this matter must not be made public, the less people know about it, the better." He solemnly ordered.

After hearing this, Qing Shu became more suspicious.However, she knew that it was not wise to pry into someone's privacy, "Okay. Let's arrange her in the courtyard where I used to live tonight." She turned her face and looked at the woman who couldn't see her face, "Is it okay to live alone at night?" Afraid?" She moved out of the inner courtyard, and now the entire inner courtyard is empty, and her own yard is naturally empty as well.

The dumb aunt couldn't speak, so she nodded sharply.

"Okay, come with me." Qing Shu said, and took the lead to go out.

Gu Ruixing took the dumb girl to follow.Qingshu asked Xiaoyu who was carrying a lantern to lead the way, and after a while everyone unlocked the inner courtyard door and entered.After entering the courtyard where he lived, Qingshu asked Xiaoyu to open an unused wing room.Although it is idle, Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan will clean it regularly on weekdays, so the house is still clean and there is no dust.

Qingshu asked the guests to wait a while, and Xiaoyu and she went in and out a few times, and the daily necessities such as oil lamps, toiletries, and bedding were prepared.Qing Shu made the bed quickly, not forgetting to distract others, "Xiao Yu, lead the way, let Mr. Gu bring a bucket of well water up."

Xiaoyu agreed, and took Gu Ruixing to get the bucket.

Dumb girl clutched the black cloak wrapped around her body tightly, intending to do things by herself, but she knew that she couldn't communicate normally with others, so she could only stand beside her restrainedly.

After the bed was made, Qing Shu turned her face and looked at the dumb girl with her head down with a smile, "It's very late, I can't boil water for you to take a bath. You just have to endure the night and make arrangements at dawn."

The dumb girl took off a corner of the cloak covering her head, revealing her messy hair and crying face, and the scar on her right cheek was clearly visible.

The look of surprise flashed by, and Qing Shu concealed it very well.She looked down at the clothes on her body, "Can you wear my clothes?"

The dumb girl nodded.
