Chapter 137

These two guards were the ones who were sleeping outside Yao's house before, when they saw Liu Shi and Yao Ruoyun, they first greeted each other, and then mentioned the chaos of tonight.

Hearing from Mrs. Liu that Xiaoxiao entered the room, the two couldn't help being very surprised, and asked:

"Madam, have you seen the face of that villain?"

Liu Shi shook her head:

"I didn't see clearly."

At that time, the night was dark and the wind was high, and the fog was heavy. She was so angry that she was only focused on chasing and beating the villain. She couldn't see the man's face clearly, but she could remember the man's figure.

"The man is tall and strong, at least six or seven feet (nearly two meters)."

The members of the Yao family were all very tall, and Liu's own height was not even inferior to some men, but thinking back now, the scoundrel was extremely tall and strong, at least half a head taller than Yao Hui.

"In Daqing, few men are so tall. If you report to the officials, you will definitely be able to find this man."

"correct."

Yao Ruoyun also added on the side:
"My mother and I chased this villain all the way here. My mother beat him with something, maybe hurt him. If there are tall wounded people in the medical centers and medicine shops in Shendu City, you should also pay attention."

When the two servants heard this, they nodded repeatedly, remembering what the mother and son said in their hearts.

Afterwards, they asked some more questions, and Liu Shi and Yao Ruoyun both said some things one after another.

Entrusted by Yao Hui, they promised him to patrol Yao's house more, but they didn't expect to fall asleep suddenly for some reason.

It just so happened that something happened to Yao's family tonight, and they both felt guilty and guilty, so the impromptu confessions made by the two were inconsistent, and they didn't investigate it carefully.

After talking for a long time, Liu's expression showed a bit of fatigue, Yao Ruoyun could see it clearly, and said quickly:
"You two have worked hard tonight, I will send you two out."

After finishing speaking, he winked at Liuqi, and Liuqi knew it well, took out the copper coin he had prepared earlier, and stuffed it into the palms of the two of them.

The two of them didn't finish their errands well, how could they dare to collect money, and they were about to postpone, but Yao Ruoyun said:

"The night is dark and the wind is cold, just invite the two of you to drink a glass of water and wine, and there will be troublesome things later, please don't refuse."

He was talking to the two officials, but he divided his attention in the inner court.

At this time, Mallow tidied up the inner room, brought out the sewage and poured it into the yard.

With the sound of '哗啦', the water accumulated in the courtyard swung away and slowly flowed around.

Under the light, the water was sparkling, and Yao Ruoyun was puzzled: Although it rained heavily last night, when I came to Yao Wanning's yard during the day, the water in the yard was already half dry.It didn't rain again tonight, where did the water come from?
But this doubt disappeared in a flash, and before he had time to think about it, his attention was attracted by the two policemen.

Seeing her son sending someone out, Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief, took a few deep breaths, and turned into the room at the same time.

The ground in the house has been cleaned up, and Mong Kui held Liu Bingzhou's words with some anxiety, and said:

"I'm afraid these old master's calligraphy and paintings will be destroyed."

"If you destroy it, you will destroy it."

Liu took a look and said:

"Paintings are dead, people are alive, as long as nothing happens to people."

As for the destruction of calligraphy and painting, although it is a pity, she has already written a letter to Liu Bingzhou, as long as Liu Bingzhou comes, she can write as many calligraphy and paintings as she wants.

With what she said, Mong Kui breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly took the calligraphy and painting out to deal with.

When she was free at this time, Liu Shi touched Yao Wanning's face affectionately, pinned a strand of hair behind her ear, and asked softly:
"Did it scare you tonight? Do you feel uncomfortable right now?"

"It's okay." Yao Wanning shook her head, and promised with a smile:

"With Shouning by my side, I didn't feel too scared, so my mother came over."

Liu Shi nodded, and glanced at her little daughter again.

During dinner at night, she clamored to sleep with Yao Wanning. At that time, Liu Shi was still a little angry at her ignorance, but now she was thankful that Yao Shouning was very vigilant in the eldest daughter's room tonight.

She noticed Yao Shouning's bandaged hands, and sighed:
"Next time, don't take the knife casually. Pay more attention in the past two days, and don't get water on the wound."

Mallow quickly agreed from the side.

Liu Shi was worried, even though there was no danger tonight, she still couldn't feel at ease.

She always felt that there seemed to be a pair of invisible eyes staring at Yao's family secretly, otherwise why did these things happen tonight as soon as Yao Hui was imprisoned?

But she didn't want to say these words, so as not to scare the two 'young and ignorant' daughters.

"Go to sleep." Liu endured the worry in her heart, and touched Yao Wanning's face:
"Mother will stay here tonight, you two can rest assured, tomorrow morning, after reporting to the government, the culprit will be found."

She forced herself to be calm and said:

"People from the government came very quickly tonight, so it can be seen that your father has made arrangements before, and nothing major will happen."

Yao Shouning did not dare to speak, and knew that the 'River God' matter could not be settled easily, even if the government intervened, it would not help, but she did not talk too much, so as not to attract the disliked accusation of Liu Shi.

There was a commotion tonight, and everyone was sleepy and tired.

Yao Shouning knew that the 'River God' had receded and that he was going to be safe tonight, so he slept soundly, and his breathing became calm after a while.

Seeing her curled up into a ball sleeping soundly, Mrs. Liu couldn't help smiling:
"It's a good thing for this child to have a big heart."

Yao Wanning didn't sleep.

Although she acted calmly, the matter was related to her after all. The existence of the 'River God' was like a deadly knife hanging above her head, which would fall down at any time.

But Liu's heart was more disturbed and couldn't fall asleep.

Qing Yuan and Bai Yu didn't know that they were bewitched by evil spirits and fell asleep. They only thought that the two of them almost harmed Yao Wanning because of their snooze. At night, they desperately opened their eyes wide, wishing to use all their strength to stare at the wind and grass around them. , dare not close your eyes.

After finishing tidying up, Dong Kui also sat on the side, listening to Yao Shouning's breathing when he fell asleep, feeling a little envious:

"Miss sleeps so fast."

She can't sleep.

"It's strange to say that I was so sleepy before, I fell asleep before I could talk, and I had a dream when I fell asleep. I dreamed that someone was having a wedding at home, and I was waiting for a wedding..."

Mong Kui's speaker has no intention, but Yao Wanning's listener has no intention.

If Yao Shouning mentioned that the "River God" married a wife earlier, and Yao Wanning herself also dreamed about having a happy event at home, if she still had doubts, what Dong Kui said at this time further verified the fact that the "River God" married a wife authenticity.

Grandma Cao happened to come in with Liu Shi's clothes, only heard the second half of the sentence, and asked:
"Whose wedding wine are you drinking?"

After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something:
"I fell asleep before and had a dream. I dreamed that our family was going to have a wedding."

Liu Shi was taken aback for a moment, and then said:
"It's such a coincidence. Just now, Mum Kui also said that she dreamed of having a wedding." She didn't think about ghosts and evil things for a while, but said strangely:

"Ruoyun's marriage is still half a year away. Could it be that Wanning has recovered from her illness recently, so everyone has happy dreams at night when there are happy events?"

"Maybe it is." Seeing the solemn atmosphere and worrying about Mrs. Liu's tense mood, Cao Mama made a joke on purpose:

"If the thief doesn't come, maybe I won't wake up from the dream, maybe I'll drink all the wedding wine."

"Me too." Dong Kui also laughed, Liu Shi also laughed, the atmosphere in the room eased up, Yao Wanning lowered her head silently.

She didn't speak, but she was thinking in her heart: If Shouning didn't sleep, she might be in a hurry after hearing this - after all, it was because the wedding wine in her dream didn't finish that she was lucky enough to get a life, if the wine was drunk Today, I am afraid that everyone will not be able to laugh, but will only cry.

Yao Shouning has always been cheerful, she looks prettiest when she smiles, if she cries, it will be so distressing.

"Forget it, Wanning should sleep too, everyone should be more vigilant tonight."

Mrs. Liu laughed for a while, then glanced at her daughter again, fearing that she might not be able to fall asleep after being frightened, so she hurriedly asked:
"Do you want to ask someone to make Fu Anshen Soup to drink?"

Yao Wanning shook her head, she was pretending something was wrong, even the Anshen Tang could not calm her down, but it was hard to say to worry Liu Shi, so she just pursed her lips and smiled:

"Shouning slept soundly, and I was also affected by her drowsiness, and felt a little sleepy."

That's good!
Mrs. Liu heaved a sigh of relief, and everyone said something. Madam Cao said that the soft couch in the outer room had been tidied up, and Mrs. Liu was going to have a night together and stay here tonight.

Because of the 'thief', the lights outside the house did not dare to turn off, and Zheng Shi, a family member, stayed outside on duty at night.

With so many protections, a group of women gradually fell asleep.

As Yao Wanning said, because Yao Shouning slept peacefully, she was still thinking at first, but she was indeed sleepy in the middle of the night, and fell asleep unconsciously.

After Yao Shouning was extremely tired, he slept soundly. He didn't even have a dream that night until dawn.

When she woke up, the bed was already empty, and her elder sister got up at some point, only Liu's voice was heard outside, as if she was very surprised.

"mother--"

Yao Shouning took a moment to think about what happened last night, and couldn't help being startled:
"Where's my sister?"

"I'm here."

Before Liu could speak, Yao Wanning spoke first.

I only heard Liu's voice coming from the courtyard outside, asking:

"Shouning is awake?"

Yao Wanning responded, and entered the house from the outside. Not long after, Mrs. Liu also came in, along with Madam Cao and others.

When Yao Shouning saw his mother and sister were there, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, his tense body softened, hugged the quilt and rubbed his eyes:
"When did my sister get up? Why didn't you call me?"

"I got up for a while, seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't have the heart to call you."

Yao Wanning said softly, and hurriedly ordered Qing Yuan to fetch her clothes, telling her to warm her up with Mrs. Tang first.

She also heard Dong Kui talk about Yao Shouning's nightmares in the past few days, and she didn't sleep well. Thinking that she was terrified last night, and it was rare for her to sleep well, how could she have the heart to tell her to wake up early.

Seeing the two sisters talking and being intimate, Liu saw her youngest daughter leaning on Yao Wanning's arms acting like a spoiled child, she couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive:

"Why did you look for your sister as soon as you woke up, and didn't see you ask your mother?"

"Because I heard Mother's voice, I know Mother is still there."

After Yao Shouning said this, he asked again:
"Who is mother talking to?"

When she asked this question, Mrs. Liu said:

"Your elder brother." She had a headache on her face:
"He said he was going out to visit his classmates and friends, and see if he could hire a few strong men for a short time to protect our home while your father is not at home."

Yao Shouning's eyes lit up when he heard this, and a thought suddenly came to him:
"Where's the big brother?"

"It's outside!" Yao Ruoyun hadn't left yet, when she heard Yao Shouning's question, she couldn't help but answer her loudly.

This is Yao Wanning's boudoir, it was inconvenient for him to enter the inner room, so he waited outside.

"Don't go, brother, I have something to tell you later."

After finishing speaking, Yao Shouning couldn't sit still any longer. He shivered and got up to get dressed, regardless of the cold.

Fortunately, Yao Wanning was meticulous and considerate, the dress was warmed up after cuddling on Mrs. Tang for a while, which saved her from suffering.

Qing Yuan and the others prepared hot water for her to wash. She pretended to be troubled and was afraid that Yao Ruoyun would leave, so she moved very quickly, and within a quarter of an hour she packed up and left the inner room.

Yao Ruoyun did not leave as expected, and waited outside.

"Brother." Yao Shouning walked towards him quickly, but seeing Liu Shi beside him, he waved to him again, motioning them to go out and talk.

When Liu Shi saw it, she became alert immediately, remembering what she said to her daughter earlier, she quickly said to Yao Ruoyun:

"Don't promise to buy her a storybook..."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Shi came in from outside the courtyard and shouted:

"Ma'am, someone came to visit."

Liu Shi's voice was interrupted immediately.

"Who is visiting?"

Confused, she asked.

Zheng Shi shook his head:

"The gatekeeper Liangcai talked back and forth. He said that he came by car. He didn't hand over any greetings. He only said that he had acquaintance with you once, and he said before that he would visit Yao's house."

Yao Hui has been an official in Shendu for ten years, and has always had a good relationship with people, and there are many contacts between neighbors.

But if you come by car, it is obviously not a nearby neighbor.

And those who can afford a carriage don't seem like poor people, Mrs. Liu thought about what Zheng Shi said, and murmured:
"Acquaintance, did you say you want to come to Yao's house?"

She thought for a while, but couldn't remember.

The Yao family is in troubled times, and the burglary issue has not been resolved yet. The Liu family is really not in the mood to deal with people politely, and is about to ask Zheng Shi to ask the guests to leave their names and identities. :
"The visitor heard about the robbery at Yao's house last night, so he came here specially for this."

Liu's complexion suddenly changed.

Seeing that Liu's attention was drawn away by Zheng Shi, Yao Shouning quickly took the opportunity to discuss with Yao Ruoyun:
"Brother, if you go out, take me with you."

"Where are you going?"

Yao Ruoyun didn't expect that she would make such a request, which was much more excessive than Liu's guess of buying a script.

Mrs. Liu has always kept her under strict control and did not allow her to run around. If something like this happened at home, if she went out today and secretly brought her along, Mrs. Liu would not allow her.

"Mother disagrees."

Yao Shouning glanced at his elder brother: "I know, so go and beg for me."

Mrs. Liu treats her like a child, and she needs Mrs. Liu's permission to go out.

It happened that Yao Ruoyun was going out, so Yao Shouning had already thought of excuses for his elder brother:
"Just say that you are afraid that I was scared last night, and you want to take me out for a stroll."

It’s okay if it’s normal, but today he has something important to do when he goes out, so he hesitated for a while and shook his head:

"I have something to do today, so I can't go out with you. Let's go next time."

"Brother!" Yao Shouning became a little anxious when he heard this, and called out to him:
"You don't need to accompany me, you send me there, then go to your own affairs, and pick me up after you finish."

"Where are you going?"

Hearing what she said, Yao Ruoyun couldn't help being curious and asked a question.

"I want to go to the General's Mansion."

Because he wanted to ask Yao Ruoyun to send her off, Yao Shouning didn't hide it from his elder brother, but as soon as she finished speaking, Yao Ruoyun's expression changed slightly.

He remembered what Yao Hui said yesterday, his father asked him to take the snake slough and go to the general's mansion for help.

At this time, Yao Shouning said that he was going to the General's Mansion, which didn't sound like a coincidence.

Yao Ruoyun was puzzled, and wanted to ask again, but hearing that Liu's side was also asking about the situation of the guests, Zheng Shi said:

"Liangcai said that the person who knocked on the door was a [-]-year-old nanny with a stern face and a dignified appearance."

"Nurse?" Yao Shouning heard this, and for some reason, the figure of Madam Du that he had seen in the General's Mansion appeared in Yao Shouning's mind—the people from the General's Mansion are here!
