Interstellar female dressed as country dude
Chapter 63
Bai Shu walked out of Zen Flower Lane, and went to find out where the Xie Mansion was.
He planned to search for people at night, but where the Xie residence was, he had to find out during the day.
He followed the direction that the brother pointed, and found a wide street, which can run parallel with two carriages and riches.
Both sides of this street are full of deep houses and courtyards. There are stone lions at the entrances, and the walls of the courtyards are all one foot high. The gates of every house are closed, and some gates have guards.
After Bai Shu walked for a while, he saw several carriages parked at a gate in front of him, and two young men were waiting beside him.
The gate of the mansion is dark red, wide and broad, and a pair of white marble stone lions and stone steps add to the grandeur of the gate.
Bai Shu looked up, and there was a plaque hanging above the gate, with gold lacquer on a black background, and the word Xie Fu written on it.
His eyes lit up, it seemed that this was Xie Huaiyu's house!
He was about to go forward to check with the two young men again, when suddenly a carriage turned out from nowhere and rushed towards him.
Bai Shu frowned, and immediately rolled on the spot, narrowly passing by, so as not to be trampled by the horse's hooves.
The horse of the carriage was startled for a moment, raised its front hooves, and made the carriage bump for a while.
Immediately two guards got off the carriage, pointed at Bai Shu and asked, "Who are you, you dare to startle the master's horse, why don't you hurry up and make amends!"
Bai Shu's eyes froze, thinking that this person was so unreasonable.
He was standing in the alley, and this man's horse rushed out indiscriminately, and he even said that he startled his horse.
Before he could speak, a bony palm lifted the curtain of the carriage a crack, and a noble young man with a haughty expression poked his head out.
When the young master saw Bai Shu, he was stunned for two seconds, then pointed at him and said, "Hurry up and catch him!"
Bai Shu was also taken aback immediately, and immediately ran away.
It turned out that the noble young master was none other than the Xuanyi young master whom he had offended that day——Zhao Yan.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yan never caught him in Fucheng, but met him again in the capital at this time.
Bai Shu's feet were blown by the wind, as he was running, he dodged into a narrow alley.
The two guards chased after him, but the narrow alley was empty, and no one was seen.
"Oops." One of the guards sighed: "Let's move separately and look around here again."
So the two guards searched the surrounding streets and alleys again, but they didn't see the boy.
After losing him, the two guards felt a little uneasy.
Zhao Yan is not a kind and easy-going person.The last time he went south to play, he took a group of capable guards out, but when he came back, for some reason, he sent them all away.
It's just that no matter how scared he is, he has to face his master at this time.
The two of them went back to the vicinity of Xie's mansion and reported to Zhao Yan who was on the carriage that the young man was really agile and he did not know what kind of kung fu he had practiced, but within a few breaths, he was nowhere to be found.
Zhao Yan looked at the two guards in front of him, with suppressed anger in his eyes.
But for a young man who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, this group of drunks and rice bags couldn't even catch such a person.
Zhao Yan has grown up to such an age, because of his noble status and the protection of the Qi family, it has always been smooth sailing.
But it never occurred to him that he would be planted twice on a young man.
He squinted his eyes, thinking about the boy he saw just now, and felt that the boy's appearance was more upright than when he saw him in Fucheng.
After all, Zhao Yan is a young man with a fresh blood, and he has some appreciation for a somewhat chivalrous young man like Bai Shu.
He wholeheartedly wanted to let Bai Shu be caught, not only wanted to teach him a good lesson, but also wanted to recruit talents so that Bai Shu could be used by him.
Zhao Yan looked at the group of guards under him again, each of them looked like a villain, and felt more and more displeasing to the eye.
At that time in Fucheng, because he was recognized by Wan Kang, he had no time to look for others.Now that he is in the capital, this is his territory, he doesn't believe it, he can't figure out the boy's origin!
"Go, go to the city guard first." Thinking of this, Zhao Yan gave an order, and the coachman drove the carriage towards the city gate.
He originally came here to go to the Qi family's family banquet to support the Qi family, but now because of the young man's incident, he didn't want to go to the family banquet.
If the young man entered the city recently, the city guard will definitely record information related to him. He only needs to check one by one to find out the identity of the young man.
When the carriage arrived at Chengmen, Zhao Yan got out of the carriage and called for the city guard.
When the city guard saw the distinguished guest, he naturally greeted him tremblingly.
Invited Zhao Yan to the file room, and moved out the registration records of all the people who entered Beijing in the last month.
The number of people who enter Beijing every day ranges from a few hundred to over a thousand.
However, within one month, the city guard brought over a dozen copies.
Of course, with so much information, it is impossible for Zhao Yan to read it in person.So the city guard called a few more literate soldiers, distributed a few books to each of them, and asked them to help Zhao Yan find out the person.
The boy spoke with a southern accent, so he was definitely not a native of the capital.
And since he is young, he can exclude people above middle age.
After many rounds of elimination, the remaining suspects were all skinny men from other places in their twenties.
According to such statistics, there are as many as a hundred people.
The city guard asked people to sort out all the materials of the hundred people, guarantors and other information, and copied them to Zhao Yan.
In this way, it took more than two hours, Zhao Yan got the information and was quite satisfied.So I asked my men to find the old guards who were patrolling in the capital, and asked them to search one by one according to this information, and they must bring all the people to him.
Another hour later, Zhao Yan was furious looking at the hundreds of young men in front of him.
There are so many people in the information, and they have all been found, but none of them are the boy I was looking for!
Could it be that he has lost his mind?That young man is originally from the capital?Zhao Yan couldn't help doubting.
He then thought that the place where he saw the young man was not far from Qi's family, and there were some rich and noble people beside him.Where did the boy go and what did he do?
"Forget it, let's go back first." Zhao Yan got up and took all his people away, his gaze became colder and colder.
Perhaps the person he was looking for did not go far away, but was hiding in a nearby house.
As Zhao Yan expected, Bai Shu is now hiding in the bushes of Xie's house.
He was chased by the guards just now, and in desperation, he climbed over the courtyard wall and hid in Xie's house.
At this time, he was quietly moving in the yard...
Thanks to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, there are many people.There are guests, maids and servants everywhere.
Bai Shu jumped to the roof of the main hall without anyone noticing, and through a skylight, he saw many decayed old men with gray beards gathered in the hall.
Sitting on the huanghuali chair in the middle was Lord Xie, who was talking with those patriarchs at this moment.
Sir Xie is just the age to know the destiny.A rectangular face, narrow eyes, deep features, and a long gray beard.
Looking at his appearance, Bai Shu felt that Xie Huaiyu was very different from him. Thinking about it this way, Xie Huaiyu should look more like his mother.
Bai Shu looked at it for a while, but didn't wait for Xie Huaiyu to come, so he left this place and went to another place.
People came and went, and the maids and servants in the mansion walked towards the backyard with flowing food in their hands.
Bai Shu followed behind them, and after a while, he came to a round arch.
Before he went in, he could hear singing and singing from a distance inside the arched door, as well as the noisy voices of many people.
When he climbed over the courtyard wall, he discovered that there was another world inside the arch.
Inside the arch is the backyard of Xie Mansion.There are caves, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water here. It is a beautiful back garden.
Bai Shu didn't make a sound, and found a dense tree in the backyard to hide.
The branches of the tree are extremely thick, about a hundred years old, the branches and leaves are densely packed, and Atractylodes is dressed in green clothes, once entering, the whole person is hidden in it, making people invisible.
Hiding here, he began to carefully check whether there was Xie Huaiyu in the backyard.
Not long after, Xie Huaiyu and Xiaoshu were found sitting in the pavilion at the corner of the corridor.
As soon as he saw Xie Huaiyu, Bai Shu became a little excited. Thinking about it carefully, he hadn't seen Xie Huaiyu for three days.
The huge backyard of Xie's family was very lively at this time, with hundreds of people sitting in total.
Xie's family built a stage in the backyard, and a troupe was invited to perform on the stage.
Tables of food and wine were neatly placed under the stage, and Mrs. Xie was sitting among them, surrounded by female relatives.
As for the rest of the people, most of them gathered around another noble young master, and Xie Huaiyu was the only one sitting in the corner.
Xie Huaiyu was holding a teacup at this time, and the little tree was serving the tea, looking at the stage with a cold expression.
His face was expressionless and indifferent, if Bai Shu saw him for the first time, he might think he was a cold and arrogant person.
Bai Shu felt very distressed, Xie Huaiyu loved to laugh, at least when he was in front of him, there was always a smile on his lips.
But during the Mid-Autumn Festival, family reunions, but he was pushed aside alone one by one.No one in this big family took him seriously.
Bai Shu glanced again, the noble young man who was so beautiful, frowned, and then realized that this is still an acquaintance!
Not only did he meet the young man in Xuanyi outside by chance today, he also saw the young man in Tsing Yi who was spanked by himself at Xie's house.Unexpectedly, the group of people he offended before were all princes and nobles in the capital.
"Young Master Qi! You are worthy of being a dragon and phoenix among people, and you have the demeanor of the old master when he was young!"
"Father Tiger has no dogs. Seeing you, Qi'er, I seem to have seen the old master back then."
……
After listening to their flattery, Bai Shu realized that Mr. Qi was also Lord Xie's son.
In this way, isn't he Xie Huaiyu's incompetent younger brother?
Thinking of Xie Huaiyu talking to him, his stepmother specially sent someone to Xie Huaiyu in order to fight for his son's title, wanting to ruin his reputation.
Bai Shu suddenly felt that he hit Xie Qi less last time.If he had known his identity earlier, he would have given him an extra beating, at least making him unable to land for several months.
"Xie Qi, that brother of yours was very proud in the past. He never interacted with us." A young man in a ginger-yellow gown beside Xie Qi said, "Look at his current appearance, he has been driven away like a dog in the water." Countryside. In the past three years, he will not be able to become an official, and this is your chance to show your ambitions. Waiting for him to be admitted to Chunwei before you and gain a firm foothold, there is nowhere for him to stand. "
"That's right, I thought I was so noble." Another young man in a bamboo green robe said, "It's just the son of a merchant woman who has polluted the Xie family's lineage. If you make friends with other aristocratic families, who doesn't go to Hualiu Street to socialize? The big furniture is a man , Even if you are younger and more romantic, it will be a good story to spread."
These two people are related to Xie's family, they have always been friends with Xie Qi in the past, and they are frequent visitors to Liuxiang in Huajie.
The young man in the turmeric gown is Xie Yong, the son of a collateral uncle of the Xie family, he has no skills like his father, but he is very good at exploiting.
And the young man in the bamboo green robe is even more distant from Xie's family, he is the son of Xie Huaiyu's married aunt.The surname is Mingsong, which is not the Xie family at all.
But in order to build up a relationship with Xie's family, he would come here with the cheek of every family banquet.
The two of them didn't have much interest in studying, but they had a thorough understanding of places to eat, drink and have fun in the capital.
Xie Huaiyu has always been very displeased with these two people, and his words are always not very polite.
Before Xie Huaiyu left the capital, Xie Yong and Wen Song still cared a little bit, but now seeing him in a state of desperation, they added fuel to the fire, wishing to step on him more in front of Xie Qi.
Xie Ling was also sitting among the crowd at this time, and when he heard them mention Xie Huaiyu, he tightened his handkerchief and bit his lips nervously.
Sure enough, Xie Qi glanced in his direction, then sneered, and said to the man: "Speaking of which, Ling'er is that man's younger brother, but he was raised by his mother since he was a child, and his temperament is completely different from that man's." .He is about the same age as you, and I think he is a good match, so we can have more contacts in the future."
When he said this, Xie Yong and Wen Song looked at Xie Ling, with a hint of obscenity on their faces.
Although the eldest son of the Xie family is an unfavored brother, but given his status, it would be very honorable to marry home.What's more, this Xie Ling is pretty good-looking, and the two maids beside him are also stunning, making people covet.
Xie Ling was sized up by this gaze and almost felt sick, but he didn't dare to refute.
After all, he is also Lord Xie's legitimate son, his status is not something these two rascals can claim.Xie Qi's words made him a pile with these two, which was clearly a humiliation to him.
But no matter how upset Xie Ling felt, he didn't dare to express it.
He could only bear it silently with his head down, scolding his own brother thousands of times in his heart.
If he didn't have such an elder brother, even if he was just a concubine's concubine.
He was afraid that he would not be humiliated at the banquet like today.
Xie Yong and Wen Songju are frequent visitors to Liuxiang in Huajie. Although they are not yet married, there are dozens of concubines and concubines around them, and they have already given birth to children.
If Xie Huaiyu offended Mrs. Lou, and he was really married to such a family, then his life would be worse than death for the rest of his life.
Bai Shu heard something from a distance in the tree, but didn't know what Xie Ling was thinking, only felt angry in his heart.
The status of Xie Huaiyu's younger brother is so noble, how can there be room for these people to blaspheme.
It's just that the elder brother in the snow-green clothes is actually Xie Huaiyu's younger brother.
I don't know why he didn't sit with Xie Huaiyu, but stayed with these prodigal sons, humiliating himself for no reason.
If it was outside, Bai Shu might have to jump out to teach these people a lesson, but this is Xie's house, it is inconvenient for him to do anything, and it caused trouble for Xie Huaiyu, so he endured it.
At this moment, Xie Huaiyu seemed to have had enough tea, stood up and left the pavilion.
When Xie Yong and Wen Song saw each other, they winked and got up to follow.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind.They thought they were the praying mantis, but they didn't know that there was a yellow finch named Baizhu behind them.
Besides, Xie Huaiyu sat for a while, and there was no one around for him to deal with, so he was ready to go back when he was bored.
He walked through several small courtyards, and when he was about to reach his own courtyard, he heard someone calling him from behind.
Xie Huaiyu turned around and saw two familiar faces, they were the two dogs in the side branch who loved to kneel and lick Xie Qi.
He knows people like Xie's family best, so why doesn't he know that these two people are here to find fault?
Although Xie Huaiyu behaved poorly, most of the offshoots of the Xie family still stayed on the front line, but fortunately they will play by ear in the future.
However, there are always a few, who are more stupid than he imagined, and actually stand in line with Xie Qi so early.
"Xie Huaiyu, I haven't seen you for several months. How is your stay in the countryside? How come you have a rustic atmosphere." It was Xie Yong who spoke first.
Xie Huaiyu hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly: "Very good, the scenery is beautiful and pleasant. Speaking of which, that place is also the ancestral home of the Xie family. As a child of the Xie family, you should also go and have a look."
"What are you pretending to be?" Wen Song, who was next to him, said directly, "It's just a bare country place, if you stay there for three years, I'm afraid you'll become a country bumpkin."
Wen Song said a few words, seeing that Xie Huaiyu remained expressionless, he suddenly changed the subject and said to Xie Ling: "You are really annoying, but your younger brother is beautiful. Marry him and keep him at home. As a concubine, it would be nice to serve me tea and water."
Xie Huaiyu quietly clenched his fist with one hand behind his back, but said calmly: "You heard that your family has no fame, but you want to marry my son-in-law of Uncle Xie's mansion as your concubine. It is a bold idea. If you really want to, I will also marry you." It doesn't stop me. Why don't we go to the main hall to ask father now to see if he will give you this face. "
In order to arouse Xie Huaiyu's anger, Wen Song naturally spoke in a harsh way.No matter how unfavored Xie Ling is, marrying a wife is already a tall order, let alone being his concubine.
I'm afraid that he will be kicked out by Earl Xie if he mentions it immediately, and he will stop dealing with the Wen family in the future.
Under Xie Qi's instigation, those two wanted to make Xie Huaiyu angry so that they could catch him.
But I didn't expect Xie Huaiyu to be very calm, no matter how they insulted him, he always looked calm.
Xie Huaiyu ignored them now, turned around and left, and walked straight into his courtyard.
Xiao Shu gritted his teeth at the side and said bitterly: "These two are really disgusting, the family relies on the Xie Mansion to live. They eat all the land brought by your mother, the young master. Not only do they not know what to return, but they also want to trample you on the soles of their feet everywhere. .”
"Before my father married my mother, the Xie family was just an empty shell. The Xie family can have what it is today. My father, Lou Shi, and Xie Qi are not eating my mother's dowry for food and clothing." Xie Huaiyu said coldly: " When my mother was alive, she didn't like extravagance, and she put all her heart on business, so she won such a family property for Xie's family. But she had only been gone for a few months, and Lou's family came in. She held a big banquet in the mansion. Everything that should be spent is extremely luxurious. The Xie family's family business is probably only good-looking now, and I don't know how long it will be squandered by them."
Besides, Xie Yong and Wen Song didn't become Xie Huaiyu, so they had to run back in despair.
The two of them had just passed through two gardens and were about to step into the backyard again when a stone hit Wen Song's back.
Wen Song, who was in pain, yelled, "Someone hit me."
"Where is someone?" Xie Yong next to him said with a frown.Before he finished speaking, he was also hit on the top of the head by a stone, causing a big bump on the back of his head, and he cried out in pain.
He yelled quite loudly, startling the surrounding maids and servants, and many people surrounded him.
"Someone beat us, quickly, quickly find him!" they shouted.
Hearing what they said, the maids and servants looked around for a long time, but they didn't see the person who beat them among the two people.
They couldn't find anyone, so Xie Yong and Wen Song had to give up.
Some of them suspected that Xie Huaiyu, who had provoked just now, had beaten them, but Xie Huaiyu had already entered the courtyard, and now they were separated by two gardens.
Even if you want to blame him, you can't blame him.
When the maids and servants dispersed, the two of them continued to move forward helplessly.Unexpectedly, after only taking two steps, another object fell on their heads from nowhere.
This time it was not a stone, but a huge hornet's nest.
He planned to search for people at night, but where the Xie residence was, he had to find out during the day.
He followed the direction that the brother pointed, and found a wide street, which can run parallel with two carriages and riches.
Both sides of this street are full of deep houses and courtyards. There are stone lions at the entrances, and the walls of the courtyards are all one foot high. The gates of every house are closed, and some gates have guards.

"That's right, I thought I was so noble." Another young man in a bamboo green robe said, "It's just the son of a merchant woman who has polluted the Xie family's lineage. If you make friends with other aristocratic families, who doesn't go to Hualiu Street to socialize? The big furniture is a man , Even if you are younger and more romantic, it will be a good story to spread."
These two people are related to Xie's family, they have always been friends with Xie Qi in the past, and they are frequent visitors to Liuxiang in Huajie.
The young man in the turmeric gown is Xie Yong, the son of a collateral uncle of the Xie family, he has no skills like his father, but he is very good at exploiting.
And the young man in the bamboo green robe is even more distant from Xie's family, he is the son of Xie Huaiyu's married aunt.The surname is Mingsong, which is not the Xie family at all.
But in order to build up a relationship with Xie's family, he would come here with the cheek of every family banquet.
The two of them didn't have much interest in studying, but they had a thorough understanding of places to eat, drink and have fun in the capital.
Xie Huaiyu has always been very displeased with these two people, and his words are always not very polite.
Before Xie Huaiyu left the capital, Xie Yong and Wen Song still cared a little bit, but now seeing him in a state of desperation, they added fuel to the fire, wishing to step on him more in front of Xie Qi.
Xie Ling was also sitting among the crowd at this time, and when he heard them mention Xie Huaiyu, he tightened his handkerchief and bit his lips nervously.
Sure enough, Xie Qi glanced in his direction, then sneered, and said to the man: "Speaking of which, Ling'er is that man's younger brother, but he was raised by his mother since he was a child, and his temperament is completely different from that man's." .He is about the same age as you, and I think he is a good match, so we can have more contacts in the future."
When he said this, Xie Yong and Wen Song looked at Xie Ling, with a hint of obscenity on their faces.
Although the eldest son of the Xie family is an unfavored brother, but given his status, it would be very honorable to marry home.What's more, this Xie Ling is pretty good-looking, and the two maids beside him are also stunning, making people covet.
Xie Ling was sized up by this gaze and almost felt sick, but he didn't dare to refute.
After all, he is also Lord Xie's legitimate son, his status is not something these two rascals can claim.Xie Qi's words made him a pile with these two, which was clearly a humiliation to him.
But no matter how upset Xie Ling felt, he didn't dare to express it.
He could only bear it silently with his head down, scolding his own brother thousands of times in his heart.
If he didn't have such an elder brother, even if he was just a concubine's concubine.
He was afraid that he would not be humiliated at the banquet like today.
Xie Yong and Wen Songju are frequent visitors to Liuxiang in Huajie. Although they are not yet married, there are dozens of concubines and concubines around them, and they have already given birth to children.
If Xie Huaiyu offended Mrs. Lou, and he was really married to such a family, then his life would be worse than death for the rest of his life.
Bai Shu heard something from a distance in the tree, but didn't know what Xie Ling was thinking, only felt angry in his heart.
The status of Xie Huaiyu's younger brother is so noble, how can there be room for these people to blaspheme.
It's just that the elder brother in the snow-green clothes is actually Xie Huaiyu's younger brother.
I don't know why he didn't sit with Xie Huaiyu, but stayed with these prodigal sons, humiliating himself for no reason.
If it was outside, Bai Shu might have to jump out to teach these people a lesson, but this is Xie's house, it is inconvenient for him to do anything, and it caused trouble for Xie Huaiyu, so he endured it.
At this moment, Xie Huaiyu seemed to have had enough tea, stood up and left the pavilion.
When Xie Yong and Wen Song saw each other, they winked and got up to follow.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind.They thought they were the praying mantis, but they didn't know that there was a yellow finch named Baizhu behind them.
Besides, Xie Huaiyu sat for a while, and there was no one around for him to deal with, so he was ready to go back when he was bored.
He walked through several small courtyards, and when he was about to reach his own courtyard, he heard someone calling him from behind.
Xie Huaiyu turned around and saw two familiar faces, they were the two dogs in the side branch who loved to kneel and lick Xie Qi.
He knows people like Xie's family best, so why doesn't he know that these two people are here to find fault?
Although Xie Huaiyu behaved poorly, most of the offshoots of the Xie family still stayed on the front line, but fortunately they will play by ear in the future.
However, there are always a few, who are more stupid than he imagined, and actually stand in line with Xie Qi so early.
"Xie Huaiyu, I haven't seen you for several months. How is your stay in the countryside? How come you have a rustic atmosphere." It was Xie Yong who spoke first.
Xie Huaiyu hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly: "Very good, the scenery is beautiful and pleasant. Speaking of which, that place is also the ancestral home of the Xie family. As a child of the Xie family, you should also go and have a look."
"What are you pretending to be?" Wen Song, who was next to him, said directly, "It's just a bare country place, if you stay there for three years, I'm afraid you'll become a country bumpkin."
Wen Song said a few words, seeing that Xie Huaiyu remained expressionless, he suddenly changed the subject and said to Xie Ling: "You are really annoying, but your younger brother is beautiful. Marry him and keep him at home. As a concubine, it would be nice to serve me tea and water."
Xie Huaiyu quietly clenched his fist with one hand behind his back, but said calmly: "You heard that your family has no fame, but you want to marry my son-in-law of Uncle Xie's mansion as your concubine. It is a bold idea. If you really want to, I will also marry you." It doesn't stop me. Why don't we go to the main hall to ask father now to see if he will give you this face. "
In order to arouse Xie Huaiyu's anger, Wen Song naturally spoke in a harsh way.No matter how unfavored Xie Ling is, marrying a wife is already a tall order, let alone being his concubine.
I'm afraid that he will be kicked out by Earl Xie if he mentions it immediately, and he will stop dealing with the Wen family in the future.
Under Xie Qi's instigation, those two wanted to make Xie Huaiyu angry so that they could catch him.
But I didn't expect Xie Huaiyu to be very calm, no matter how they insulted him, he always looked calm.
Xie Huaiyu ignored them now, turned around and left, and walked straight into his courtyard.
Xiao Shu gritted his teeth at the side and said bitterly: "These two are really disgusting, the family relies on the Xie Mansion to live. They eat all the land brought by your mother, the young master. Not only do they not know what to return, but they also want to trample you on the soles of their feet everywhere. .”
"Before my father married my mother, the Xie family was just an empty shell. The Xie family can have what it is today. My father, Lou Shi, and Xie Qi are not eating my mother's dowry for food and clothing." Xie Huaiyu said coldly: " When my mother was alive, she didn't like extravagance, and she put all her heart on business, so she won such a family property for Xie's family. But she had only been gone for a few months, and Lou's family came in. She held a big banquet in the mansion. Everything that should be spent is extremely luxurious. The Xie family's family business is probably only good-looking now, and I don't know how long it will be squandered by them."
Besides, Xie Yong and Wen Song didn't become Xie Huaiyu, so they had to run back in despair.
The two of them had just passed through two gardens and were about to step into the backyard again when a stone hit Wen Song's back.
Wen Song, who was in pain, yelled, "Someone hit me."
"Where is someone?" Xie Yong next to him said with a frown.Before he finished speaking, he was also hit on the top of the head by a stone, causing a big bump on the back of his head, and he cried out in pain.
He yelled quite loudly, startling the surrounding maids and servants, and many people surrounded him.
"Someone beat us, quickly, quickly find him!" they shouted.
Hearing what they said, the maids and servants looked around for a long time, but they didn't see the person who beat them among the two people.
They couldn't find anyone, so Xie Yong and Wen Song had to give up.
Some of them suspected that Xie Huaiyu, who had provoked just now, had beaten them, but Xie Huaiyu had already entered the courtyard, and now they were separated by two gardens.
Even if you want to blame him, you can't blame him.
When the maids and servants dispersed, the two of them continued to move forward helplessly.Unexpectedly, after only taking two steps, another object fell on their heads from nowhere.
This time it was not a stone, but a huge hornet's nest.
