Lady Changning

Chapter 53 Hucheng (1)

Mingyu looked left and right to make sure no one was watching, then slipped into Tayue Pavilion with the bundle in her hand.The young lady is also really strange, she doesn't wear good brocade clothes, so she has to go out like those who have to ask for a few mended clothes.

"Miss, what is this dress for?" Earlier, the lady said that it must not be seen by others when it is brought into the prime minister's mansion, and this was the sneaky scene just now.

Xi Changning ignored it, opened the bag, checked the clothes inside, and felt that it was okay.The patches are not too many, but for a person like her who has been wearing brocade clothes all the time, there are already enough to be used as a rag.

"The coachman is already waiting at Jieqiao. The clothes are folded and put in the food box."

Mingyu was confused when she heard it, but the young lady always made sense in doing so, so she didn't ask any more questions. She folded the clothes and put them in the double-layered food box, and followed Xi Changning out of Tayue Pavilion.

In the carriage

Xi Changning opened the curtains and looked outside. The scenery outside was getting more and more desolate. What kind of place is this Hucheng?She had asked about it before, but she shook her head when she heard that she was asking about Hu Cheng.

Just looking at the scene outside, Xi Changning's heart went cold.

"Girl, the road ahead is not easy for carriages." The groom said outside the carriage.

This groom was hired by Xi Changning in the market, in order not to let interested people in the prime minister's mansion know.

Hearing what the groom said, Xi Changning pulled the clothes that he had put in the food box before getting out of the carriage.The groom was stunned when he saw that the glamorous young lady went in and turned out to be a person wearing patched clothes.

"This is silver, please wait here." Xi Changning gave the coachman enough silver and asked her to wait again.

Seeing that there were so many taels of silver, the coachman couldn't care less about other things, so he nodded his head hurriedly.

Although Mingyu felt that it was a little inappropriate, but seeing the young lady walking forward regardless of everything, she couldn't help asking the groom again and again to wait for her.

The faster Xi Changning walked, the more anxious he was to see what the detested Hu Cheng looked like.until……

Xi Changning would never have thought that he would be brought into Hucheng like this. Looking at the big man carrying himself and Mingyu, the smell of sweat on their bodies almost made them both faint.

Enduring the unpleasant smell, Xi Changning observed the surrounding scene, the dilapidated walls, the house that was about to collapse, the people outside the house immediately hid in the house when they saw outsiders, and looked out through the unpasteured window .

Comparing this way, Xi Changning felt that the clothes on her and Mingyu were many times better.The clothes on those people can only be called cloth strips.

But I have to say that the Hu people are really different from them in the Central Plains. It is not difficult to see the messy face, the tall nose, and the deep sunken eye sockets are pairs of eyes of different colors.The figure is still surprisingly tall, especially for men.For example, the man carrying Xi Changning has stubble all over his face, and he can't see where his mouth is at all. His body is wrapped in animal skins that barely cover his body. no difference.

Xi Changning and Mingyu were not let down until they arrived in what was barely the best house here.

"who are you?"

Xi Changning and Mingyu's first reaction was, it's a woman.And this woman is obviously the current owner of Hu Cheng.

The person in front of me should be a woman from the voice, but I can't tell the difference clearly.His whole body was pitch black, and his face looked like it hadn't been washed for years, anyway, as long as he could see it, it was black.The age is even more invisible, but the figure is not too big.

He Lianbao looked at the two clean girls in front of him.Cleanliness is rare for people in Hucheng, and food and clothing are a problem, who cares about grooming and grooming.Even Miao Miao next door got married, so she scrubbed her body. At that time, everyone said that Miao Miao was a fairy. Who knows what a fairy looks like, anyway, if she is clean, she is a fairy.

"We came to the capital to look for relatives, and we got separated from our family, so we came here."

This remark was made by Xi Changning and Mingyu in the car, but now she looks at the woman with blue eyes who doesn't even know what she looks like, and thinks this remark is far-fetched?

"Think of me as an idiot. Looking for relatives, if you can find Hu Cheng by searching for relatives, then the person who guides you must have a grudge against you."

He Lianbao was walking back and forth on the ground, and at a glance, he knew that the story was false. It wasn't that she wanted to say that Hu Cheng was bad, but... Hu Cheng was really bad.

"L."

As soon as Xi Changning said these two words, the woman in front of her shouted to the big man behind to throw her into the mountains to feed the wolves.

Mingyu was so frightened that she closed her eyes and fainted.Even Xi Changning's little face turned pale, she was very calm when dealing with Da Furen and Xi Hanxue, but she didn't know what to say when dealing with such unreasonable people.

He Lianbao knew that they were not good people, and the people in Xuanfu were all dead?Calling two helpless girls to take over the land, does she really think she dare not kill them?
"It's okay not to kill you, but you'd better leave Hucheng now and never think about taking over the land again."

After hearing these words, Xi Changning put his heart back into his stomach. The person in front of him was simply trying to scare them.

"What's your name? This way I can do business, right?"

"Listen, Helian Bao, baby's treasure means that baby's amazing."

Xi Changning was made to smile a little by He Lianbao's explanation, and even forgot his current situation.

"why are you laughing?"

Xi Changning remained silent, his eyes flickered, and he realized that this woman was not a cruel person either. Thinking about the rhetoric in his stomach, he still said it.

"To tell you the truth, Miss Helian, I did come to reclaim the land, but I didn't come to drive you away. I don't know if you think this is the case, can you listen to me?"

Xi Changning didn't know what he said wrong, He Lianbao suddenly became furious.

"You Central Plains people are cunning, and you are even more cunning when you look at the honest and harmless."

From He Lianbao's words, Xi Changning could hear the clues, it seemed that they had been fooled by someone before.No wonder there was a trap set up on the way into the city. Xi Changning and the others were caught by this damn trap, otherwise they wouldn't have been carried into the city.

"Miss Helian seems to want all the old and young here to die together. And I'm not from the Xuan family."

It seems that Xi Changning's words moved He Lianbao. Hu Cheng couldn't hold on any longer. When he first arrived here, the lord was her father. Her father and the others were also trying to survive. They had never lived in the Central Plains. I went to a neighboring village to find a farmer to teach farming. Who knew that the honest farmer cheated them of all their money.Later, people in Hucheng fell ill one by one, and the men went out to do coolies to earn money for treatment. The doctors in the capital saw that they didn't understand, and gave them cheap and non-curative medicines. As a result, several old people couldn't take it anymore and died. .Her father also fell ill, and then passed away, and she was sitting in town at a young age.

"You don't need to say anything nice here, I'll give you one more chance for every one of you good things, either go away and never come back, or die here."

This time Helian Bao wasn't joking, his blue eyes revealed his dislike for the Central Plains people, so he also looked at Xi Changning with disgust.

At this moment, an old woman happened to run in, her expression flustered and her face covered with tears.

"Lord, Xiaodouzi has fallen ill again, three times today. What should we do?"

Helian Bao had no interest in paying attention to Xi Changning, and left with the old lady with his people.

Xi Changning felt baffled, quickly helped Mingyu who was stunned, pinched the person, and then woke up.

"Miss, run away. They are going to drag us to feed the wolves."

"Get up, let's go."

Mingyu thought that the lady was going to take her away, but who knew that the lady was still taking her time, and when she looked around, she found that there was no one there.

Xi Changning walked to a crowded place and saw He Lianbao comforting the woman just now. The child on the ground should be Xiaodouzi, who kept twitching, foaming at the mouth, rolling his eyes, looking terrified and anxious. up.Mingyu shrank back in fright.

"Get some soft cloths quickly."

The people around looked at the strange girl, and no one knew how to react for a while.Regardless of other people's eyes, Xi Changning stepped forward, picked up Xiaodouzi, and put his hand between the child's teeth, and it really hurt.

After a while, the child became quiet, but Xi Changning's hand was bleeding.

"How long has this child been ill?"

"It's been several months, and now it's getting more and more frequent. There's only such a child, what should we do when he's so young?" The woman began to cry without even caring about asking who Xi Changning was.

"Do you know what disease it is?" He Lianbao and his party, who suffered a loss once, absolutely dare not go to a doctor again, let alone they have no money.

"Epilepsy, this is a genetic disease, maybe whoever in the two lines of father and mother has had this disease."

The woman slapped her legs and cried loudly.

"The one who suffered a thousand knives, my man's father died of this illness."

He Lianbao looked at Xi Changning begging for help, as if seeing a straw.

"I'm not a doctor, but I've seen this symptom in medicine. I can prescribe a prescription for you to take to the pharmacy clerk to see it, but it's just a stopgap measure. This child should be seen by a doctor."

Knowing that they were poor, Xi Changning also had depression in his heart, so he took out all the money from his purse, and calculated that there were more than 20 taels.

I don't want He Lianbao and his party to breathe a sigh of relief, they have never seen so much money, and men can't make so much money even if they do coolies.

"Miss Helian, you take the money first. Now I think I can talk to you."

Only then did Mingyu come to her senses and realized that the young lady's hands were still dripping blood, so she tore off the cloth on her body and quickly bandaged the young lady.

"Miss, tell Mingyu what you want to do. This is to scare Mingyu to death."

Miss?He Lianbao knew that these two people were either rich or noble.

"Come out and say it."

Before leaving, Xi Changning did not forget to tell Xiaodouzi that if Xiaodouzi gets sick again, he must put some soft cloth between his teeth, otherwise no one can save him if he bites off his tongue.The woman nodded in horror.

"No matter who you are, do you think small favors can buy us?" Although these small favors are really what they need.

"Miss Helian, I will come again. I hope you remember one sentence, I am not here to drive you away, but to help you."

He Lianbao didn't expect to dismiss Xi Changning with a single sentence, and she didn't care what she said.They're in a situation where it's not killing them if they lose their final resting place.But what did she mean by "don't dare to leave them?"
