The Red Mansion's Traversal Raiders

The author has something to say: Catch a bug, the next chapter will still be updated at 7:[-] p.m.~

Amidst the beeping of the flames, Xiren heard hurried footsteps coming and going, and when the visitors returned again, the impact of axes and locks rang out after a while.The fire was so intense that it scorched the lock very hot. When the ax was lowered two or three times, sparks flew everywhere, and the lock fell to the ground with a click.

The person who came only opened the locks of the doors and windows, and then walked away quickly, obviously not planning to rush into the fire to save people.

Xiren waited for a while, and the sound of firefighting and water splashing outside gradually increased. Xiren bent over, covered his mouth and nose with a wet veil, and dragged the unconscious Jia She to a window.

This window is open in the inner room, and its position is relatively biased, near the back door.Xiren observed early in the morning that outside this window was a jagged rockery and a few old pine trees with deep green needles, and Xiren would crawl out from here to cover his tracks.

The fire spread from the outside, the curtains and screens were smoking, and clusters of small flames gradually sprang up.Because this window is far away from the wooden table with curtains, it is rare to be spared. Only the window paper is yellowed and curly, and there is a little smoke, but it has never really caught fire.

Xiren picked up the candlestick, poked open the window, dragged Jia Amnesty and threw it out of the window, and then carefully climbed out by himself.

As soon as it settled down, a clear burst of applause came from behind.

Xiren turned his head abruptly, and saw a young nobleman in a light robe and wide sleeves coming out of the rockery, clapping his hands with great interest, "Young lady is so courageous and skilled!"

In the blink of an eye, the other party's laughter coincided with what he remembered, and Xiren's eyes were sharp, "You were the one who set the fire just now?"

"Looks like I should add another sentence, good ears!" The young master didn't deny it, and said with a smile.

"Don't dare to do it." Xiren couldn't see the depth of the other party, and pretended to be mocking, "Dare to burn the Chengjue of the Rongguo Mansion in the territory of the Jia Mansion...you are the first-class brave man!"

"Is this how you talk to your savior?" The young man cleverly changed the topic, and asked questions instead of answering.

"Savior?" Xiren didn't have to pretend this time, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his words, "If there were more flammable fabrics and wood in the house, I would have been buried in the flames by now, but I don't know you Where does this kindness come from?"

"Although my original intention was to save the beauty from the clutches of lewd | demons, but if you don't have any winks, you will lose your life in vain..." The young man shook his feather fan and wrote lightly, "You can only blame your own life not good."

Xiren pursed his lips, unable to guess whether the other party's words were true or not.

Not far away, the sound of water breaking and the noise of firefighting are getting louder and louder. Someone is probably coming to this rockery soon.

Although Xiren was anxious, he didn't show the slightest bit on his face. Instead, he said sincerely, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Whether you are here to save people or kill people just now, you are not a man. Good choice."

"Young lady's concern, I am flattered." The young gentleman smiled politely, as if he could see what Xiren was thinking, "Today I am just a guest at Ningguo Mansion, as for what happened in the guest room, I can only wait for Ningguo Mansion's explanation."

"Thank you, my lord." Xi Ren saluted.

When the other party said so, he believed it.

Xiren has not met all the male masters of Jia's mansion.However, since the two princes, they have been multiplied for several generations, and there are countless branches of the Jia family.This part of the Jia clan has already moved out of the Ningrong Second Mansion, and most of them are not well-to-do.

Xiren worked day and night in Baoyu's room, and he developed a pair of sharp eyes long ago.Naturally, she could recognize that the man in front of her was dressed in attire, which definitely could not have come from the long-decayed branch of the Jia surname.

Excluding the Jia family, the only man in front of him is an old friend of the Jia family.

Xiren estimated how difficult it would be to get the list of banquet guests, and he had a good idea about the method of knowing the identity of the other party.

Regardless of whether the other party is acting on a whim, playing a heroic trick to save the beauty, or planning to murder Jia She, but inexplicably stopped halfway, as long as the gun is not aimed at a small character like her, the attacker will not be prepared. Jump out and fight people desperately.

However, since the other party did not intentionally conceal their identity, Xiren was not going to lie and pretend nothing happened.

The more bargaining chips she holds in her hand, the better, so that one day when things come to an end, she can calmly find out what to do, plan the layout, and figure out a way out!Of course, Xiren would rather these chips rot in his hands and never be used.

Xiren picked up Jia Amnesty, "Shortly after I go out, someone will come to search this rockery, young master, please do it yourself."

"Miss, please don't worry." The young man closed his fan calmly, and he seemed not to believe him. He shook his head and laughed, and said goodbye with his hands. up.

Such a high wall, just jump over it with two leverages?Xiren opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Although there is no legendary flying over the eaves and walls, such a light skill can be regarded as rare.She had heard Baoyu mention before that there is a kind of Ren Xiaer in this world, and Liu Xianglian in the original book is like this, she never thought that she would be lucky enough to meet one of them today.

Xiren restrained his speculation about this person's identity, helped Jia Amnesty again, adjusted his expression, and walked out of the rockery.

"The elder is injured and unconscious, come quickly!" Xiren shouted.

"Where did the voice come from?"

"The old man was rescued?"

"It's really pardoning the old man! Come on, come and carry the old man on his back."

Finally someone in charge came, Xiren heaved a sigh of relief, pretended to be anxious and worried, and followed.After a while, Xiren and Jia She were led to a study not far away, the hostesses and masters of Ningrong and Rongfu, as well as the imperial physician were invited.

The female relatives were invited to wait behind the screen. Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen waited with bated breath for the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis.

Among these masters, regardless of whether the relationship is close or distant, good or bad, they must show concern and heartache.Except for Mrs. Wang who occasionally glanced at Xi Ren with unfriendly eyes, no one paid attention to Xi Ren for a while.

Now Mrs. Wang wanted to see her, but Xiren ignored her eyes and stayed in the corner, sorting out the story to be told later.

After taking the pulse, the imperial physician pinched his beard and slowly dropped his book bag. Jia Zheng knew a thing or two, and discussed the pulse case with the imperial physician before asking the maid to take the medicine according to the prescription.

Jia Zheng sent the imperial physician away, and Jia's mother went to the bed, holding the hand of her eldest son who was over [-] years old, and wept very painfully.

Mrs. Xing originally had no feelings for her husband, who spends a lot of time drinking and drinking, and rarely sees her husband for ten and a half months, but now she heard Jia's mother cry "my son", "If you leave, how can I live"... Mrs. Xing couldn't help but feel moved I shed a few tears.

Others, such as Mrs. Wang You Shi, also cried a few times, and hurriedly advised Jia Mu to cherish her body and not to be too sad, and finally turned Jia Mu's attention by scolding the waiters for not being thoughtful.

Jia's mother stopped crying and ordered to take people.

Sister Feng had long understood the importance of the relationship, and as soon as she knew that Jia She was trapped in the fire, she locked up all of Jia She's concubines and servants.At this moment, as soon as the order was given, Sister Feng asked Ping'er to bring someone with a look.

After a while, a few coquettish concubines and handsome servants were brought up.

"Master is taking a lunch break in the house. Where are you all serving?" Jia Mu slammed the table, furious.

"Excuse me, old lady, it was the elder who ordered me to urge the hot water..."

"Old lady, let me tell you, the old man drank a lot of wine at the banquet, and I'm going to serve the hangover soup for the old man..."

"Old Madam, Mr. Niu of Duke Zhu's Mansion is drunk, and Mr. Niu ordered me to send a car to take him off..."

Although the concubines and servants were flustered, they were all meticulous, as if they were all responsible and not mischievous or lazy.When Jia Mu heard these excuses, she laughed angrily, "Okay, I don't know if I look at it. Is there such a swarm of servants in front of the master?"

Although the subordinates kowtowed in panic, none of them admitted that they were the last to leave the master.

"Don't you want to say it? Yuanyang, take them all down, and each person will hold twenty boards. If you are willing to say it, you will drag it back. If you don't want to say it—" Jiamu sneered, her eyes swept over people, as if Lide could cut flesh, "Just beat him to death."

A group of concubines and servants panicked and hurriedly identified them.

Involved to the end, pointing to a plump concubine wearing a light red skirt.

"Yan Hong?" Jia Mu's eyes sharpened, "As soon as you walked away, the fire started... Tell me, are you murdering the master?"

"As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken and marry the dog, follow the dog. Since I have followed the Grand Master, I will be the Grand Master's person for the rest of my life. How could I have the intention of murdering?" Sweeping away, he looked unyielding, "The old lady is highly respected, I don't dare to argue, the only way to prove my innocence is to die!"

Before she finished speaking, Yan Hong slammed into the pillar, and in time, she hit her head badly.
