Song Yi

Chapter 610 Kidnapping
Xiushan County is already in the winter moon at this time, but there is no such howling wind and biting cold in the north, but only a faint chill in the night, sticking to the warm skin through the clothes, it feels like a layer of ice The light gauze filtered by the water was inadvertently attached to the body, and it was only a moment of coldness, and then there was no feeling.

The night was accompanied by the chirping of nightingales, and soon the noisy market quieted down. Except for the coquettishness and primitive desires of some ghosts at night, everything was silent.

In the west of the city, at the gate of a large house, two big stone lions shone coldly under the moonlight. A black bird like a crow sat on the head of a stone lion. A voice disturbed him, and he flew into the darkness.

"Open the door... um... open the door for... Lao Tzu, are you all dead? Really..."

I saw a tall man staggering to the door, holding a jug in his hand, the wine in the jug kept dripping down, and landed on the stone steps in front of the door, splashing everywhere .

After a while, the door creaked open, and the man stretched out his hand and slapped the person who opened the door. The person who opened the door groaned, fell to the ground, and quickly got up to support the man.

"Butler Yang, why do you dare to drink today!"

"I...why can't I drink, I can drink whenever I want, sir, what can he do to me? Hmph... If it wasn't for me, his family fortune would have long ago..."

"Ouch, Steward Yang, please keep your voice down, your wife is back."

Yang Guang's head seemed to be hit hard by someone from behind with a stick suddenly, and he suddenly became half awake.

"Wh... what, who did you say was back?"

The concierge looked at the inner courtyard, and hurriedly pulled Yang Guang into the room to talk.

"Your wife is back!" The concierge lowered his voice but said the word "wife" a little more emphatically.

Yang Guang lifted the curtain on the window, looked at his room, saw that there was no light, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

"Why didn't you say earlier, when did you come back, did Xiao Cui come back with you? Did you say anything?"

Seeing the stark contrast between Yang Guang's appearance and his domineering before, the porter smiled inwardly, but his face was respectful and humble.

"I just arrived after dinner. Xiaocui came back with me, but she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. My sister-in-law didn't say anything, but Xiaocui told me in private that if you come back drunk, you won't go back to your room. Alright, let’s talk about it tomorrow morning.”

Yang Guang smiled gratifiedly: "Fortunately, there is Xiaocui!" After finishing speaking, he walked to the inner courtyard.

"Butler Yang, where are you going?" The porter was in a hurry and chased him out.

"What's it called? I'll go to the old man's room to have a look." Yang Guang signaled the concierge to speak softly, and then walked towards the east wing in three steps at a time.

"Who is it?" an old voice asked.

The door creaked open, a dark figure entered, and the door was quickly closed.

"Master, it's me, Yang Guang." Heiying groped to the bed, found the oil lamp and kindling, and after a while, the room was lit up.

I saw an old man in his 70s lying on the bed, with silver-white hair, emaciated body and listless spirit.

"Why are you here? What time is it?" The old man narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to cover the light in front of him.

Yang Guang put the oil lamp far away, poured a glass of water from the table and walked to the bed, helped the old man up: "Master, drink some water, the younger one is not here today, maybe those sneaky and tricksters forgot to serve you gone."

The old man drank all the water in the cup in one go. Yang Guang patted the old man's back, and then found a cushion for the old man to lean on.

The old man smiled indifferently: "Fortunately, Xiao Cui has been here. If you think about coming to my place today, I know that your wife must be back, right?"

Yang Guang scratched his head and smiled.

The old man yawned: "By the way, I heard from Xiao Cui that your wife told her about a marriage, and she's not in our Xiushan County yet."

When Yang Guang heard this, he became anxious: "This cowardly woman must have known that I was interested in Xiaocui, so she sent Xiaocui away on purpose."

The old man squinted at Yang Guang: "Okay, you can find a place to make do with it for a while, the old man wants to sleep for a while, so don't bother me."

Yang Guang had no choice but to remove the cushion behind the old man, and carefully supported the old man to lie down.

Seeing Yang Guang's sad face, the old man said for a long time: "You can boss everyone around, and even yell at me and Rui'er when you are in a hurry? Why is there nothing you can do with your wife?"

Yang Guang hurriedly said: "Master, how dare the young one yell at you and the young master's family? Even if the young one has a thousand guts, he would not dare to disrespect you and the young master, wouldn't he?"

The old man said with a half-smile: "Okay, okay, I don't want you to show any loyalty to me anymore. As the saying goes, one thing is worth one thing. Since you are afraid of her, you have to sacrifice Xiaocui, alas, What a beautiful girl." After speaking, she turned her face to the wall and gave Yang Guang a blow on the back of the head.

Annoyed, Yang Guang went to the brazier and turned the fire with tongs, then went to a low couch by the window and lay down with his clothes on.

At this time, just above Yang Guang's head, two black shadows jumped down quietly and quickly disappeared behind the rockery in the courtyard.

"Sister, I didn't hear anything, what do you think should I do?"

"Don't worry, didn't Wen Hao say that before leaving? That Yang Rui's house is not far away, let this Yang Guang sleep well, let's go to Yang Rui's place for a while."

The two were about to leave, when they suddenly saw a person coming from west to east, panting heavily, and his footsteps were pounding.

When he reached the east wing, the man stopped, first went to the window to listen, and then whispered: "Master, I know you are inside, come out!"

There was no movement in the house.

"If you don't come out, don't blame me, Luo Siniang, for being rude!"

Soon the door opened.

"Can't you wait until dawn to talk about anything?" Yang Guang closed the door, then pulled Luo Siniang aside and whispered.

"Hmph, since you've come out and you're afraid of disturbing the old man, then you can go back with me. I still have something to do with you."

Suddenly there were two coughs in the room, and the two quickly shut up.

"Yang Guang, you still stay with me. I'll get up later. How can I get up if you're not here?" The voice in the room was slow and soft, but Luo Siniang outside the room didn't dare to say a word, just He pinched Yang Guang's arm viciously, and Yang Guang let out an ouch.

"Come here quickly at dawn, do you hear me?"

"Understood, you go back to sleep, it's still not dawn, don't worry about it." After speaking, Yang Guang quickly slipped back to the old man's room as if he had received an amnesty, and locked the door.

Luo Siniang spat towards the door, mumbled something, and walked away.

"If your wife makes such a fuss, I don't want to sleep anymore. Light the lamp and talk to me."

"Yes, wait a moment, I'll pour you a glass of water first, I must have poured some cool wind into your stomach just now."

When the light came on, Yang Guang told the old man to lie down and poured hot water for him to drink. Sitting in front of the brazier, he seemed a little preoccupied.

"Yang Guang, how is the matter at Yunfan Inn going?"

Yang Guang was distracted, when he heard such a sentence suddenly, he didn't realize it all at once, he let out an ah, and saw that the old man didn't say anything.

The old man smiled: "Do you think I'll let you get me some drowsiness medicine all day long and lie in this room without knowing anything?"

After hearing this, Yang Guang was even more astonished, almost fell off the stool and fell into the brazier.

"Master, you..."

The master glanced at Yang Guang: "You entered my Yang family when you were seven years old, and I let you take our Yang family's surname. It's been almost 30 years in a blink of an eye."

When Yang Guang heard this, he went to the bed and knelt down in front of the old man's bed with a plop, afraid to speak tremblingly.

"Yang Guang, in fact, you are a kind child. This old man knows that I am not sick, and you know this too, but do you know why I still drink the medicine you prescribed for me every day?"

Yang Guang was too frightened to look up, he just faltered and said he didn't know.

"Because Rui'er is my own grandson, he asked me to eat it, and I ate it. He hates me, so he hopes that I can die soon, don't you think so?"

"Master, it's not like this, it's not what you think, the young master... the little one deserves death, the little one..." Yang Guang spoke incoherently and didn't know what to say.

The old man smiled Qi Ran: "Go back and tell Rui'er that sooner or later my family business will belong to him. As for the Yunfan Inn, forget it. Don't make things difficult for Du San. He is a good person. The second child was lucky enough to take care of him before he died." on."

Yang Guang muttered: "But...but..."

"But what?"

"But that Du San suddenly disappeared."

"What?" The old man sat up from the bed all of a sudden, suddenly felt dizzy, and fell on the bed.

Yang Guang hurried over when he saw the old man lying on the bed with a pale face. He became anxious immediately, and the door opened here, and two people in night clothes appeared at the door.

Yang Guang didn't have time to think, so he stretched out his hand and punched him. He felt a numbness in his ribs, and Yang Guang's posture immediately froze.

"Who are you, don't hurt my master!"

"Hmph, you have become like this yourself, and you still want to save your master?" One person walked to the bed and looked down at the old man, then gave another person a wink, and the old man got up from the bed and went out the door. Walk.

When Yang Guang saw it, he was about to yell, but at this moment another person was in his throat, and Yang Guang lost his voice.

"Tell your young boss to find Du San, and then we will contact you naturally, otherwise we will wait to collect your old man's body."

After finishing speaking, the two of them carried the old man and disappeared into the darkness.

Du San disappeared. The news quickly spread throughout Xiushan County. There were speculations in the streets and alleys. Some said that Du Wenhao, a distant relative, had murdered him for money. He bought a large house and bought a lot of land in the best part of Xiushan County. Some of his subordinates opened rice shops, some opened silk and satin shops, and some even bought a flower boat. It costs money, but the money was already there when he came to Xiushan County. With this money, he can buy more than a dozen or even twenty Yunfan Inns, not only these, but also several of his The wives are all as beautiful as flowers, and their clothes are not ordinary.Others said that Yang Rui saw that Du San refused to return his family property to him, so he became murderous. The latter theory is more common.

Just when everyone was discussing, Du Wenhao left Yunfan Inn with more than [-] people and moved to a place called Wanshou Lane in the suburbs. This move undoubtedly cleared up his suspicion, but the inn Without the shopkeeper, Zhuzi suddenly lost his mind, and temporarily closed the store under Du Wenhao's suggestion.

three days later.

Yang Qianhu finally woke up, the green gauze tent was covered with light smoke, Yang Qianhu thought that he was dead, and thought that if this is the underworld, it would be much more comfortable than the dark room where he stayed , especially there is a smell of sandalwood here, which is my favorite smell at this time.

The curtain was lifted, and a woman with a handsome face and the appearance of a maid came forward with a smile.

"Master Yang, you are awake."

"Where am I, who are you?"

"My name is Fanxin, and this is Yunfan Villa."

Yang Qianhu was stunned, he must be dead, and the shopkeeper named Du San must have thought that he asked someone to kill him, so he didn't let him live in peace after he died, and he still wanted to live in Yunfan Villa.

Yang Qianhu struggled to get up, when a young man came in outside the door, with bright eyes and white teeth, a tall nose, deep eyes, thick eyebrows, and a tall figure.

"Master Yang, you just woke up, your body is still very weak, you should lie down properly."

"Who are you?! Why am I here?" Yang Qianhu cautiously looked at the young man who came in.

Fan Xin on the side smiled and said: "Master Yang, at this time our master, I just said that you are in Yunfan Villa, and Yunfan is our master's name."

Du Wenhao sat up, and Fan Xin went out.

Du Wenhao took Yang Qianhu's pulse and said with a smile, "Are you feeling better?"

Yang Qianhu took a good look at the young man in front of him, but he didn't remember that he recognized him, but Yun Fan was his biological brother's name, could it be...

"Where is this? What is your relationship with my second brother? Why is your name Yunfan?"

Du Wenhao laughed. He wanted to say that he didn't want to be called this name, but if he didn't call this name Du Wenhao, he would be more troublesome. His name is really interesting. Du San's surname and Yang Qianhu's younger brother's name, Everywhere there are people who doubt their own motives and purposes.

"Master Yang, I don't know your second brother. This is my home. My name is Du Yunfan, and I'm a doctor."

"But why don't I know you?" Yang Qianhu looked at Du Wenhao suspiciously.

"You don't think it's normal, because I just arrived in Xiushan County. Okay, your body is too poisoned, so don't talk too much. Since you woke up, I suggest that you take a medicinal bath. It works better that way.”

Yang Qianhu was thinking in his heart, who is this person and why did he save himself? Could it be that Ruier found this person to save him because of his conscience, but thinking about it again is wrong, there are many doctors around Ruier, so he would not find such a person Could it be Yang Guang who was born to see a doctor when he was young, no, let alone Yang Guang, although this child is not bad-hearted, but he will not have such a refined and refined friend.

Yang Qianhu's mind was aching. Seeing the young man go out, an old man about his own age came in after a while, followed by two servants, who came in with some basins in their hands.

Yang Qianhu: "Is that your apprentice just now?"

Yan Miaoshou shook her head with a smile, and two more people moved in a large wooden barrel, and Yang Qianhu smelled a smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

"No, the one just now was my master." Yan Miaoshou ordered his servants to prepare the potion, and then asked someone to pour hot water into the wooden barrel, and the room was immediately covered by water mist.

"Master Yang, take off your clothes and take a bath, your body must take good care of you to get well."

Yang Qianhu got up, and his servants helped him take off his clothes, and carefully helped him walk to the barrel, he looked suspiciously at Yan Miao who refused to lift his legs to go in.

"You thought my master would harm you, but if it really did harm you, you would have died if my wife didn't save you at your house, why bother to save you from killing you? Isn't it superfluous?"

Yang Qianhu heard that he was reasonable, and then carefully entered the barrel. There was a small stool in the barrel. After sitting down, he could just lean against the string of the barrel, which was very comfortable.

"You have half a stick of incense to bring in the potion, don't delay, understand?" Yan Miao explained, and the servants retreated in response.

Yan Miao found a high bench and sat beside Yang Qianhu, beckoning him to raise his hand, and then slowly pressed down from the shoulder and elbow, from light to heavy, all the way to the fingertips, and repeated.

"What's your name?" Yang Qianhu asked.

"Shou Miaoyan" Yan Miaoshou said to Yang Qianhu his name upside down according to what he had discussed with Du Wenhao before.

Yang Qianhu: "Good name, but there is one thing I don't understand. Why did your... master save me? I am not related to him."

"Do you know who Du San is my master?"

Yang Qianhu thought for a while, then shook his head and said he didn't know.

Yan Miaoshou then slowly told Yang Qianhu the speech he had made up in advance.

"Why, you mean that young man before is Du San's nephew? Why didn't I hear Du San mention it before?" Yang Qianhu was stunned.

Yan Miaoshou smiled calmly, walked to the other side of Yang Qianhu and changed his other hand to massage him.

"I'm not too sure about this. This is a matter between the master and shopkeeper Du. How dare we as apprentices ask?"

"I think you are about the same age as me, how could there be such a young master?" Yang Qianhu looked disbelieving.

Yan Miao smiled wryly and told Yang Qianhu about the bet with Du Wenhao in the past, and Yang Qianhu couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"I can't tell that this young man has good medical skills."

Yan Miao nodded and said yes.

"I heard that Du San is missing, have you found it?"

Yan Miao shook her head: "No, but I should find it soon."

Yang Qianhu was puzzled: "Why?"

Yan Miaoshou looked at Yang Qianhu and smiled strangely: "You will know soon."
