The genius pyrographer of the reborn daughter

Chapter 33
After the cart was far away, Ning Wanzhu said to Mo Mei: "It's fine, don't laugh anymore."

As a result, Mo Mei let out a laugh, and said to Ning Wanzhu, "Miss, did you tell us to joke around specifically to make that Mr. Wu less suspicious?"

Ning Wanzhu didn't answer, and frowned slightly.She had just seen Wu Yingjie's eyes unconsciously showing a fierce look, and she turned her head to look into the cart, knowing that if she pressed harder, it would be a disaster if Wu Yingjie was forced to jump over the wall.When she saw Wu Yingjie driving away, she remembered it, and hurriedly pretended to be joking with Mo Mei, in order to comfort Wu Yingjie's heart.

Sure enough, Old Man Du lowered his voice beside her and said, "Second Miss, there were two or three people hidden in that cart just now. The old man couldn't hear anything else, but under the panel of that cart, you could hear the breathing." Sound, this is absolutely unmistakable.”

Ning Wanzhu frowned when she heard that, Wu Yingjie must have been ordered by Chang Shining to go out, but she did not expect that Chang Shining was able to dispatch troops at such a young age and lead them to Nanyang Mansion alone.And Chang Shining also has some tricks in employing people. Wu Yingjie has only been with Chang Shining for a few days, and he already has Chang Shining's shadow in his words and deeds. Dare to underestimate his youth.

As she walked, she thought about it, but she forgot that Old Man Du called her "Second Miss" just now, and also changed his name to "Old Man", and he no longer dared to call himself "Grandpa".

All of a sudden, several people came to the residence where Old Man Du lived before.The old man hadn't been there for a few days, and there was already a little cobweb dust in the front yard.The courtyard door was opened, and the furnishings in the house remained the same, except that there was a faint smell of blood in the air.Mo Mei couldn't help becoming scared, and stepped forward to grab Ning Wanzhu's sleeve.

However, old man Du didn't stop at all, he went straight to the back of the house, walked through the forest clearing, and came to the small tomb.

This is the tomb of old man Du's beloved daughter Du Ruo. Everyone thought that Du Ruo was missing, and the one that old man Du built was just a tomb of clothes.However, only the old man Du and Ning Wanzhu knew that the miserable girl Du Ruo was lying quietly in the tomb at this time—her situation was too miserable to make people's nose sour, so it would be better to let her die behind her. There is a little calm.

The old man knelt down, muttered to himself for a long time in front of the tomb, and finally shed a few painful tears, wiping them all with his left sleeve, then turned around, came to Ning Wanzhu, and said: " Second Miss, please wait for a while." He said, went to his own room to tidy up, packed all his usual tools for carpentry and pyrography, and packed them into a bag.Seeing that old man Du had a left hand, it was very inconvenient to clean it up. Ning Dayong and Mo Mei had already gone up to help without Ning Wanzhu making a sound.

The three of them tidied things up, and old man Du looked around, let out a sigh of relief, and said to Ning Wanzhu, "Let's go!"

"Walk?"

This time it was Ning Wanzhu's turn to be dumbfounded.Unexpectedly, the old man Du bowed down in front of Ning Wanzhu, made a big salute, and said in his mouth: "The old man thought about it, if it weren't for the second Miss Ning, not only would Ah Ruo's great revenge not be avenged, but the old man's own life would also be lost." Not here, but in Nanyang Prison." His words were true, if Ning Wanzhu hadn't begged Chang Shining to take care of him, his arm was seriously injured, and given the environmental conditions in Nanyang Prison, he would have died a long time ago. up.

"So the old man thought, with this remaining life, I can repay Miss Ning! The old man is willing to serve Miss Ning and join the Ning family. This is a letter of refuge written for the old man in Nanyang City!" Old man Du put his left hand into his arms, He took out a volume of documents and made a gesture to hand it to Ning Wanzhu.

Ning Wanzhu was already stunned, she hurriedly supported the old man Du—"Grandpa Du, are you trying to break me? You are the master who taught me the skills of pyrography! A teacher for a day, a father for life , You are... where do you want me to be!" She was so anxious that she almost stomped her feet, absolutely refusing to accept the document of refuge.

The old man Du sighed softly: "Master introduces the door, and practice depends on each person. The old man has nothing new to teach the second lady. The second lady is as talented as pyrography. What she lacks is just the heat. To be honest, with the talent of the second lady, calling the old man your master is really ashamed—"

"Besides, the old man hopes to live with Miss Ning in the future. As an old man and his past, there is no other way but to join the Ning family. The second lady will not even agree to the old man's wish!" The old man Du finally After telling his true wish, Ning Wanzhu was taken aback for a while, and didn't make a sound for a long time.

Finally, Ning Wan and Zhu Changchang sighed, got up slowly, and said to Ning Dayong: "Brother Dayong, help Grandpa Du up, let's go back to Zhuangzi." Put it in your arms.She knew that as long as she accepted him like this, old man Du would become the "righteous servant" of the Ning family, and she would have the status of "master and servant" with herself since then, and she could no longer treat him like that with the courtesy of a teacher.But at this moment, old man Du showed an expression of infinite gratification and infinite love, as if to say: Grandpa will guard you in the future——

Ning Wanzhu couldn't bear it anymore, and turned around, afraid that she would not be able to hold back the tears rolling down from her eyes.

Back at the Ning family's village, she invited Ning Yongqiang, the head of the village, raised the letter of refuge in her hand, and said, "Please Ning Zhuang, please settle down with Grandpa Du." He had heard about it a long time ago, and after reading the documents, he knew that he was the "righteous servant" of the Ning family, so he hurriedly said, "Second Miss, please rest assured, the old man will come with me first, heal his injuries before making any plans."

Ning Wanzhu is very satisfied with Ning Yongqiang as the head of the village. Over the past few years, he has gradually turned a blind eye to Ning Wanzhu's winks, but he often turns a blind eye to Aunt Shao's requests.

When Aunt Shao heard the news, she immediately came over and questioned Ning Yongqiang, "Why did you take in such a person? Ning Zhuangtou, I think you are becoming more and more lacking in your eyes. As I told you last time, you promoted Da Zhuang to be How come there is no result in the matter of management?"

Ning Yongqiang knew that Zhuang Ding named Da Zhuang was hooking up with Aunt Shao's maid, and he was very dissatisfied at first, but Aunt Shao actually came forward in person to speak out for Da Zhuang.Ning Yongqiang straightened his neck for a moment, and said: "I haven't heard that the matters in the outer court have to be ordered by the inner court."

When Aunt Shao heard this, she immediately threw a splash, alarming Ning Wanzhu.Ning Wanzhu looked at Aunt Shao coldly, and suddenly felt that Aunt Shao was also very pitiful. In order to confine herself to this village in the countryside, Aunt Shao could be said to have spent all the good years of her life here.Years of quiet rural life made Aunt Shao's temperament more and more eccentric and irritable.

"Second Miss has already sent it, why is she not the master of the Ning family? Could it be that Miss Ning's words are not as good as your aunt's?" At this moment, Nanny Ye arrived and scolded Aunt Shao.

Aunt Shao was blocked by this sentence, she just muttered that she was hurt by the anger of the second lady, and she backed away embarrassingly.

Mother Ye looked at Ning Wanzhu, nodded slightly, and said, "Take a servant? That's right, let Ning Zhuang make arrangements for you!" I don't feel curious, it's like letting Ning Wanzhu decide.

In the evening, a major event happened in Du's village.

Originally, Nanyang Mansion had already spread the news that the matter of arresting bandits in Funiu Mountain had been settled, so the villagers all took a break.Unexpectedly, at the second watch of the night, the whole village woke up in a kind of shaking like an earthquake.As soon as he opened his eyes, the small Dujia Village was brightly lit, and the sounds of people and horses neighed throughout the night sky.On the currently empty grain drying field in the village, a huge flame rose up, illuminating half of the sky blood red.floating in the air
Ning Wanzhu woke up from her sleep, quickly put on her clothes, and rushed to the inner hall, where Mrs. Du and Nanny Ye were already in the hall.Aunt Shao also hurried over.The female relatives gathered in the hall, you looked at me, I looked at you, all with pale faces.Only Mother Ye was very calm, beckoning Ning Wanzhu over.

"Good boy, remember Mammy's words, don't panic when things happen." Nanny Ye held Ning Wanzhu in front of her. "A daughter of a family should have the demeanor of a daughter of a family."

Mother Ye's voice was calm and firm, and the hands on Ning Wanzhu's shoulders seemed to convey a lot of courage to Ning Wanzhu.

At this time, Ning Yongqiang hurried in and said to Ning Wanzhu and Aunt Shao: "Second Miss, Auntie, a group of soldiers came in at night from the village. There must be five or six hundred soldiers, and they have surrounded our village. Said that they have wounded who need to be treated, and they want to conscript our outer hospital..."

"Soldiers again?" Ning Wanzhu couldn't help thinking that Chang Shining also brought troops here last time. Why did so many people come here recently in this remote place in Funiu Mountain? They were both soldiers and bandits.

Ning Yongqiang just nodded, but before he could speak, everyone suddenly heard the door of the inner courtyard being kicked open, saying: "Why are you so sluggish, what do you have to report to the girls? Lao Tzu If you're such a bitch, you might as well just hit her head to death." The man came in cursing while speaking.The visitor held a torch high in his hand, illuminating the hall in the inner courtyard more brightly.

All the female family members of the Ning family almost exclaimed when they saw the person coming.I saw that the person who came was tall, like an iron tower. He held a torch in one hand and a huge ax in the other. The ax was dark red, and I don't know how much blood was soaked on it.Looking at the man again, he was dark and thick, with a face full of flesh, and a mustache under his jaw, the roots of which were like iron.Although he was wearing a Da Zhou military uniform, but the military uniform was dirty and tattered, and it was impossible to tell what rank it was.

"Ning Zhuangtou, our young master... Well, our master said that all the people in your village should gather in this hall, and he has something to ask." As he spoke, the man like black iron held the gun in his hand. Throwing the giant ax to the ground in front of him, amidst the screams of all the female relatives, the giant ax silently penetrated into the hard, iron-like ground of the inner courtyard lobby.
