[Lu Xiaofeng] Hidden Forest of Flowers and Leaves

Huamanlou really found the flowers.Huakai lay sideways on the railing of the warm pavilion, holding a jar of wine in his hand.The warm pavilion was located on the hillside, and the curtains around it were drawn down, only the side where he was lying had the curtain half rolled up.

It happened to be able to see the rehearsal of the theater troupe in the water pavilion under the mountain.

When Hua Manlou found him, Hua Kai was quite helpless: "Seventh Young Master, the Hua family is so big, you found me so quickly?" He saw Hua Manlou walking straight to this side.

Hua Manlou smiled, but did not speak.

Huakai had no choice but to scratch her head and stood up.

Han Ye said in his heart, "Brother Huakai, we would like to ask you to accompany us out."

Huakai looked at Han Yexin, then at Huamanlou, secretly thinking something strange.Because if Hua Manlou went out, he would never find anyone to accompany him.I don't know whether to call him bold or too confident?But if Hua Manlou sincerely wanted to avoid some people, it would be too easy.

Hua Kai nodded, and raised the sword leaning against the railing.His sword is long and looks heavy as well.Hua Kai hugged the sword in her arms, as if to say, can the two young masters go?

The three of them walked to the gate and saw Aunt He waiting there.Holding two thick cloaks in her hand, Aunt He smiled and said, "It's cloudy today, and it seems to be snowing." She helped them tie on the cloaks, tidied them up, and said, "You two, go quickly. Come back quickly, don't let the slaves worry."

Han Yexin nodded.

Huakai drives a carriage.Huamanlou got into the carriage, pulled Han Yexin up, and said to Huakai, "Go to the Tianqiao."

When the flowers bloomed and shook the reins, the two horses stepped lightly on their hooves and drove towards the overpass.

After leaving the main street in front of Huafu Gate and turning a corner, the street became more and more lively.Han Yexin opened the curtain of the car, and saw that there were stalls everywhere on the street, selling Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures and other New Year's goods.

Although the people on the street are very thick and bloated, the people on the street are also beaming, walking here and there, holding various things in their hands.

When the carriage arrived at the overpass, the street was already occupied by people buying new year's goods, and the carriage couldn't get in.After Huakai parked the car, Hua Manlou and Han Yexin got out of the car, and the three of them walked into the bustling crowd.

A large circle of people surrounded the open space at one end of the bridge, and cheers came from the crowd from time to time.Hua Manlou and Han Yexin squeezed in and saw a father and daughter performing acrobatics.Han Yexin knew that the little girl who was performing spinning dishes was Cai Die.

"Good! Good!" The onlookers applauded and cheered.Cai Die gradually raised one foot.She held several slender bamboo sticks in her hands and in her mouth, on which colorful discs were flying.The foot she lifted was not wearing a sock, and there were a few bamboo sticks stuck to it.Father Xu threw a few plates, and they happened to be still on top of the bamboo sticks.

The saucer on the feet also started to spin.

Not only that, the colorful butterfly also began to rotate slowly.

Everyone was shocked by this little girl's performance.Many people come to see Caidie's acrobatics almost every day, and every time they see her, they feel that she is really amazing.

The butterfly slowly rotated, she held her head up, and suddenly her feet trembled, and all the plates tilted to one side!

The crowd fell silent for a moment.Because no one expected such an accident to happen!

But Caidie tilted her whole body up, and the plates regained their balance on the bamboo sticks!

The crowd burst into violent applause.After the performance was over, Caidie let out a long sigh of relief and raised her sleeve to wipe the sweat from her forehead.She felt a chill on her face, and when she looked up, there was already snowflakes falling melodiously in the gloomy sky.

Father Xu took a tray and begged for rewards from the onlookers.Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, people are always in a better mood, and they give more rewards. Even people who usually watch for nothing also throw a few copper coins.

"Thank you, thank you." Father Xu thanked him as he walked, and suddenly there was a silver ingot on the plate.Father Xu raised his head and saw a young man with a round face and a smile, pointing his hand down.

Two noble children in cloaks stood there.One of them is wearing black and the other is wearing white.The child in white raised his jade-like face, but there was no expression on his face, and said, "Uncle, I want to ask you something."

Father Xu weighed it in his heart, and said, "Young master, please follow me."

Cai Die saw Father Xu leading the two children to the side. She knew that the child in black was Han Yexin who was kidnapped by the four bearers in the courtyard!

Father Xu said: "I don't know what the young master wants to inquire about?"

Hua Manlou said: "Uncle, do you know my friend Lu Xiaofeng?"

Father Xu said: "Of course we know each other. Xiao Lu lived with us for a while, and he went to the street together a few days ago to perform. Why, what happened to him?"

Hua Manlou frowned, and said, "I haven't seen him for several days, I thought he was still with you."

Father Xu shook his head: "I haven't seen Xiao Lu for several days. Has it been half a month?" He waved to Cai Die.Caidie came over, and Father Xu said, "Caidie, do you know where Xiao Lu is now?"

Cai Die looked down at her toes, and said, "I don't know where he is, I haven't seen him for a long time."

Han Ye thought: "But Lu Xiaofeng said a few days ago that he would come to see you, haven't you seen him?" The Xu family father and daughter shook their heads together.

Father Xu said worriedly: "Xiao Lu, this child, has always been a little bit of a dragon, and he often disappears. We thought it was the same this time! So you can't find him either?"

Cai Die suddenly threw herself into Father Xu's arms, raised her head and asked, "Father, is there anything wrong with him?"

Father Xu touched his daughter's head, sighed and said, "Xiao Lu is so smart, he will be fine."

Hua Manlou, who hadn't spoken any more, said at this time: "Thank you both for informing me, sorry to bother you."

After that, he turned and walked away.

Han Yexin followed behind him, and looked back at Xu's father and daughter.Cai Die looked back at him from his father's arms, her expression was indescribable.

Han Yexin caught up with Huamanlou and said, "Huamanlou, do you have an idea?"

Hua Manlou said: "The father and daughter must be hiding something. Ye Xin, I'm going to take a look at where they live."

Han Ye thought, "But I have forgotten how to get there."

It was night when he was arrested, but now it is daytime, and the street is full of stalls and crowds, the scenery is completely different.

Huamanlou looks at the flowers blooming.Hua smiled and said, "I probably know where the father and daughter live."

Huakai likes to hang out in the market on weekdays, and he is very familiar with these courtyards where foreigners live together.

Huakai took Huamanlou and Han Yexin through the streets and alleys, and the alleys got deeper and deeper.Han Yexin felt that familiar feeling came back.

Hua Manlou glanced back slightly.After coming out of the overpass, he felt that someone was following him.Huakai also felt it, so she led him into the deep alley.When they came to a crossing alley, Hua Manlou and Hua Kai glanced at each other, and suddenly flashed to both sides at the same time!

Huamanlou pulled Han Yexin to stand against the wall, and the flowers had already quietly flew up to the ridge of the roof and disappeared.

Sure enough, a person explored the alley in front of him, and ran over in a hurry when he saw that there was no one there.

Before he reached the entrance of the alley, Hua Manlou suddenly appeared.The man was startled, and took a few steps back, but behind him were flowers standing with their swords in their arms.

The man panicked.

He looks like a loafer with nothing to do.At this time, he was already frightened by the flowers and stood against the wall, trembling.

Hua Kai picked up his collar and asked, "Who told you to follow us?"

The man quickly shook his head: "No one!" Seeing the flowers blooming, he didn't believe it, and said: "I just see that this young man is very generous..." So he just wanted to spend some money!

He doesn't seem to be lying.Because he doesn't seem to know martial arts, nor is he cunning enough, but he looks like a petty thief.

Hua Kai let go of him, clapped his hands and said: "You don't have long eyes, but you will hit your idea on our young master."

The man hurriedly begged for mercy: "The little one doesn't dare, absolutely dare not, I beg the hero to spare his life!"

Huakai looked at Huamanlou.Hua Manlou nodded slightly.

Hua Kai kicked that man's ass: "Our young master is in a good mood today, please forgive me. Let me see you next time..."

"I must not dare, uncle, spare my life, spare my life!"

"get out!"

The man ran away rolling and crawling.

Hua Manlou stepped aside.When that person passed by him, he suddenly said: "If you want to know Lu Xiaofeng's whereabouts, follow him alone!"

Huamanlou could hear his voice clearly, but Huakai and Han Yexin didn't respond!Hua Manlou was startled, and looked at the man, who still looked like a mouse, and stumbled into another alley.

He is actually a hidden master!From his appearance, it is impossible to see that he possesses martial arts, not only Huamanlou, but also Huakai, who has already had a lot of experience in the world!

Hua Manlou pondered for a while, and said to Hua Kai: "Let's go."

No one noticed his abnormality.Huakai nodded and continued to lead the way.

The snow fell harder and harder.The alleys in the south of the Yangtze River are deep and narrow.After a while, the snowflakes had already accumulated a thin layer on the ground.Han Yexin hadn't seen such heavy snow for a long time.He stretched out his hand and caught the fluttering snowflakes.Pieces of snowflakes are crystal clear, and every corner of it can be seen clearly.

"Huamanlou, look!" Han Yexin excitedly turned his head and stretched out his hand, but there was no one beside him.

Han Yexin's face instantly turned pale!

Huakai just turned around and sighed softly.

He put his hands on Han Yexin's shoulders and said, "Seventh Young Master has something to do, and he will definitely be back soon."

Han Yexin suddenly shook off Blossom's hand.His chest continued to heave, his pale face turned red, and he said, "You know he's gone?"

Huakai didn't expect Han Yexin's reaction to be so strong, so she nodded silently.

Just now, the Seventh Young Master signaled to him that he would go away alone for a while and let him take care of Han Yexin.Although he wanted to object, the Seventh Young Master had made up his mind and told him clearly with his eyes that this order could not be disobeyed.

Huakai had no choice but to nod.

He trusts the seventh son very much!But Han Yexin never expected that Han Yexin's reaction would be so strong.Because of this, he also felt uneasy!

Seeing the flowers blooming, Han Yexin's expression became serious, and Han Yexin managed to calm down his heartbeat. Knowing that it was useless to be anxious, he said, "Let's go after them!"

He turned his head and looked at the alley behind him.

The white snow has not completely covered the bluestone road.There are only two footprints, one big and one small, along the way.The big footprints are very shallow, but the small footprints are very deep, and the snow has been completely trampled down.But apart from the two of them, there was no third person!

What about flowers all over the building?

Han Ye's anxious eyes were about to turn red.He thought over and over in his heart, why today?Why, he didn't just leave Huamanlou in Huafu?

Obviously, there is only one day left!

He suddenly felt his body lighten, and he had already been carried on his shoulders by the flowers.Hua Kai said: "Seventh Young Master is heading over there."

After all, he has stood up!He jumped onto the wall and galloped between the roof ridges.

Han Yexin lay on Huakai's shoulders, and the memory of the night he was kidnapped came back.He held back his trembling, and tried his best to look down the alley.At the same time, I kept praying in my heart: Huamanlou, you must be safe!
