Before Uncle Jiang could react to Liu Shi's words, mud balls shot out from the bushes beside him like rain, more than a dozen in succession.
The muddy idea hit Liu Shi's skirt, she jumped up screaming, looked at the grass, and exclaimed, "Who's there!"
This is the backyard of Ning'anbo Mansion, behind the corridor, there is a small pavilion.
Uncle Jiang and Mrs. Liu just came back from Fourth Master Jiang and passed by here.
Far away from Sifang's family, seeing no one around, Liu couldn't help the suffocated anger in his heart, so he vented a few words.
Knowing that there is someone here, thinking that what she said just now was heard by others, I can't help feeling cold behind my back.
She said to the servant girl next to her, "Go and see who is there."
The servant girl pushed aside the grass.
In the corner, a chubby little body was lying on the ground.
The servant girl said, "It's the Sixth Young Master."
Liu Shi was shocked, "Why is he there?"
"Ka... stuck in the dog hole."
Jiang Jinxing didn't say a word, the round puppy's eyes were staring at Liu Shi, shining brightly, full of anger, as if to bite someone.
But his body was stuck in the dog hole and he couldn't move and couldn't bite.
Now it's a shame.
Very humiliating.
Jiang Jinxing was taken out of Jinling when he was less than one year old, and he had no memory of living in Ning'anbo Mansion until he was seven years old.
But he was naturally courageous, and when he came back, he didn't recognize his life. He walked around Ning'anbo's mansion every day like a puppy, and stepped on wherever he could go to leave his own footprints.
Today, while his parents were talking with his uncle and aunt, this child sneaked here alone, hiding from the maids and servants, and squatted under the north wall, staring at this dog hole for a long time.
Watch and watch.
Watch and watch.
The hole seemed to have magic powers.
He just drilled.
Then.
Seven-year-old Jiang Jinxing understood a truth today.
Not all dogs are the same size everywhere.
Not all dog holes are the same size everywhere.
Only he, whether in Yecheng or Jinling, ate the same amount of food, and his chubby belly was always the same size.
Woohoo, this world is really too cruel.
He didn't want to make a sound at first, he didn't want anyone to find him, and after starving for an hour or two, he might have slipped out.
So when the uncle and aunt first came, he didn't make a sound.
But when he heard Liu Shi say that his elder sister would definitely lose money if she managed the shop, Jiang Jinxing began to use his hands that were still able to move to start making muddy eggs.
Hearing that Mrs. Liu said that his elder sister might as well be abducted by human traffickers, Jiang Jinxing threw out the well-rounded mud egg.
Now even if the grass is peeled off to reveal his face, and he is caught throwing mud, there is nothing to be afraid of when the bully is messed up, and there is nothing to be afraid of now.
Not only was he not afraid, but he was watched and grabbed mud in his hands, and dared to continue throwing it at Liu's face.
But in the end, the left arm was pulled by the maid on the left, and the right arm was pulled by the boy on the right. Like a pig waiting to be put on the grill, he was dragged out of the dog hole.
His hands and arms were covered with black mud, and there was evidence of the crime just now.
Uncle Jiang looked at Jiang Jinxing's face and couldn't help but feel a little headache.
It's really the child of his fourth brother's family.
Without noticing for a moment, after Jiang Jinxing was dragged out of the dog hole, he broke free from the hands of the maid and the servant, and rushed over.
Ms. Liu might as well, she was knocked down to the ground, and two more black mud handprints were added to her skirt.
"Auntie is bad!" Jiang Jinxing didn't know how to express the anger in his heart. The vocabulary in his head was so small that he panicked, and he became even angrier when he held it in. He poohed a few times and said, "You lose money, your whole family will lose money!" Lose money! No money to spend! Your child will be abducted by human traffickers!"
Jiang Jinxing couldn't believe that the aunt and uncle who had praised his sister for getting more and more beautiful in front of his parents just now, actually spoke so harshly behind their backs.
While he was beating, he started to cry, "My sister will never meet a human trafficker! Never once! Never in a lifetime!"
Mrs. Liu blocked his beating, oops, yelled to the Jiang family uncle and the servant girl, "Come and pull him away!"
Jiang Jinxing was picked up by the Jiang family uncle.
Uncle Jiang's family staggered under his weight, gave Jiang Jinxing a chance, and kicked Liu Shi again.
Liu Shi had no manners at all, slowly got up from the ground, and slapped Jiang Jinxing.
Uncle Jiang grabbed his wrist, "Don't argue with a child!"
He sternly said: "If this matter goes to the old man's place, you will be the one to blame."
Liu Shi knew she was wrong, even though she was angry, she still slowly put down her hand.
Uncle Jiang comforted Jiang Jinxing in his arms, "Brother Jin, don't be angry, just now your aunt didn't say that your sister would lose money, or that your sister would be abducted."
Taking advantage of the chaos, Jiang Jinxing wiped the mud on Uncle Jiang's body.
Seeing that the palms of both hands were almost wiped clean.
Uncle Jiang's brows twitched when he saw that his clean clothes were stained with mud, and immediately let him go.
He felt that a child who was only seven years old, who was not yet at the age to tell right from wrong and distinguish good from bad, should be easy to fool, "What your aunt said is that you are not happy enough to worry about your sister's shop losing money. Fortunately, your elder sister six He was found back when he was old."
Jiang Jinxing hadn't heard about Jiang Rao's abduction before, but now that he heard about it, he burst into tears when he thought that he almost had no sister.
Uncle Jiang quickly wiped his tears with his fingers, then turned around and glanced at Mrs. Liu, asking Mrs. Liu to come over too.
Liu Shi understood, took out her handkerchief and came over to wipe Jiang Jinxing's tears.
Jiang Jinxing didn't use her handkerchief, he wiped his tears with the back of his hand, and wiped it on Uncle Jiang's body familiarly.
Uncle Jiang had black lines on his face.
But seeing that the child seemed to be coaxed, he felt relieved, patted Jiang Jinxing on the back, and coaxed softly, "Don't tell your parents about this when you go back, uncle won't put you in a dog hole , tell your parents, okay?"
Jiang Jinxing's eyes changed slightly, he lowered his head, followed Uncle Jiang's extended arm, and wiped away his tears and nose on his sleeve, arching and arching like a puppy, as if nodding.
Uncle Jiang felt that the child had been coaxed over, and he was completely relieved.
And Jiang Jinxing, who had wiped his face clean, raised his fair face, and Sa Yazi ran out, "I'm going to find my grandfather!"
The faces of Uncle Jiang and Mrs. Liu changed drastically.
This kid, report it!
…
Before Jiang Jinxing, he didn't have a deep understanding of the eight characters "one side in front of people, one side behind people".
But he was cheated by Yang Xiuzhu last time, and then his father and mother told him that the reason why his family didn’t let him eat candy was because he was changing his teeth. Heart, called bribery.
He thought he was doing a good job of helping someone, and he was also very kind to him. The elder brother who fell in love with him was actually just interested in his family's money and wanted to marry his sister. Eggs do.
This time, the uncle tempted him with the benefit of helping him keep the dog hole secret.
But he won't turn his elbows out again.
What he heard lying in the dog hole is true!
Uncle, this is not kind.
This is buying.
The aunt is still cursing his sister behind her back!
Think his younger brother is a dead man!
Jiang Jinxing ran faster than a dog was chasing him, and no servant girl could catch him, and ran all the way into his grandfather's yard.
…
The old uncle of Ning'anbo's mansion has always been partial to the four families. Hearing his big fat grandson crying on the roof for a while, he aggressively called the eldest son's family over.
Uncle Jiang and Mrs. Liu, who were both filthy, tried their best to explain it, blaming the children entirely. It is said that children talk nonsense and misunderstand nonsense.
However, this kind of specious thing, the old man believes in whoever he is partial to in his heart.
He has always felt that his youngest son, Jiang Xingzhou, is the one who has the most hope of shining in the family among all the sons in the family, but it is also this youngest son, the one who can't be supported the most among the sons in the family, and has no thought of being in charge of the family at all. He only wanted to help his elder brother, but he ran away for him six years ago, making him both partial and angry.
But in the end it is more of a preference.
This time, as soon as the younger son came back, he was called into the palace to paint for Emperor Zhaowu. After returning, he received the emperor's reward the next day. What a dazzling sight.
Since the old uncle's heart is on Sifang's side, he punished Mrs. Liu.
On the grounds that the Liu family was hindering the harmony of the family, she was punished to sort out all matters concerning the employment and purchase of goods in the shop within three days, and return the shop to the Sifang family.
He also asked her to go to the ancestral hall after handing in the shop, facing the tablets of the ancestors, and copy the family letter ten times.
Liu Shi was dissatisfied in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it in front of the old uncle.
He just gritted his teeth secretly in his heart, wishing to see the scene where the shop was destroyed by Jiang Rao immediately.
After a while, Fourth Master Jiang and Mrs. Jiang Qin, who had heard about the incident, came over after hearing the news.
Uncle Jiang was coming out from the old uncle, and stopped when he saw his fourth brother and sister-in-law.
He said: "What happened today is Xiuniang's fault." There was apology in his tone.
"Xiuniang worked so hard to manage those shops, but she suddenly let her go. She's just not used to it, and she spoke a little louder for a while. Don't blame her."
Fourth Master Jiang has always respected him as a big brother.
After his mother passed away, it was his elder brother who accompanied him the most.
In retrospect, the brotherhood of his youth still makes him feel precious.
But some things are his bottom line.
He said solemnly: "Even if sister-in-law is not used to it, she shouldn't joke about being abducted every year."
At the Lantern Festival back then, my daughter was taken by so many servants, but she was still abducted. It was obviously not an accident, but someone manipulated her.
But at that time, he couldn't find out who it was after half a year of investigation. He was worried and worried that the same accident would happen again, so he resolutely left Jinling.
The manipulators were just afraid that he would inherit the title of Uncle Ning'an's mansion. For the sake of his daughter, he didn't have to give up the title, and he would not tolerate anyone offending her.
Uncle Jiang looked a little embarrassed, "I will take care of the housekeeper."
After parting, Mrs. Jiang Qin shook her head and said: "When Mrs. Liu took the initiative to take care of the shop, she was more anxious than anyone else. Today we came back but refused to give it, and even said something that hurt your brothers and family. It's really not like Be able to do a good job as the matriarch of the family."
Jiang Siye sighed, "I can't just blame the eldest brother, we lost our mother early in the morning. The eldest brother's marriage was arranged by the stepmother. Although the Liu family background is enough, but the character..."
Fourth Master Jiang stopped talking.
Jiang Qinshi understood the hardships of the two brothers when their mother lost their mother, and took his hand reassuringly.
Mrs. Liu, the old man's successor, did not seem to be easy to get along with. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu had no children, which saved a lot of trouble.
She held her husband's hand and asked him in a low voice, "My master has returned to Jinling this time, does he still have no plans to be the head of the house?"
Fourth Master Jiang shook his head resolutely, "I just want to live a good life at home."
…
Jiang Jinxing not only filed a complaint, but was able to go out after being rubbed on his stomach by his grandfather and coaxing him for a long time at his grandfather's place.

He didn't know whether his grandfather was coaxing him, or he was coaxing his grandfather. Just now, his grandfather supported him and scolded the aunt to make him happy. I made a lot of grimaces, and donated my ticklish belly for my grandfather to rub.
It is really not easy to make the elderly happy.
After finally coaxing his grandfather to be happy, Jiang Jinxing went out and ran back to his courtyard.
"Father, mother." Jiang Jinxing climbed onto the chair and asked them nervously, "Miss A was kidnapped when she was a child, what happened?"
How no one has spoken to him.
"Your sister was six years old at the Lantern Festival. She lost her way in the traffic, and was abducted by traffickers. Fortunately, she was found after three days." Facing her young son, Jiang Qin did not speak clearly. He just said, "Your sister was frightened at that time, so we won't mention it any more."
"Where is sister now?" The less they talked, the more nervous Jiang Jinxing became.
Jiang Qinshi asked a maid to come over and ask, and replied, "It's at the grain shop by the Qinhuai River."
…
The sky is a glowing red fire cloud.
Jiang Jin rushed to the Qinhuai River, saw Jiang Rao flipping through the account books in the small room in the inner courtyard of the grain store, ran over and took her hand, and rubbed it against her cheek.
Then he let out a long sigh of relief.
Then put down Jiang Rao's hand, climbed onto the bench quietly and sat beside Jiang Rao, just watching her sister settle accounts, she seemed very at ease.
After Jiang Rao finished reading the account book, he immediately took out the scroll in his arms, unfolded it, and spread it in front of Jiang Rao.
Jiang Rao glanced down at the paper Jiang Jinxing brought, confused, "Why did you show me the map of Jinling?"
"Sister, take a good look at this." Jiang Jinxing looked serious.
He was very scared.
It turned out that he almost didn't have a sister.
Although the voice is childish, but the words are serious, "Sister, in the future, read more maps and less useless scripts, so you can't get lost again."
Mother said that sister was frightened and it was best not to mention it, but he worried that she would get lost again when he couldn't see her.
"Look at the map more often, take a good look at the map, read it every day, and memorize it by heart." He repeated.
The tone was very similar to the old gentleman in the school, except that he didn't have a bamboo ruler in his hand.
Eloquent.
Very serious.
Jiang Rao felt that his younger brother was abnormal.
During the days back to Jinling, Bo Ning'an's mansion was still new to him. He ran around and hadn't played enough. He came out suddenly to look for her and brought a map of Jinling to tell her not to get lost. .
Suddenly blessed to the soul, think of something.
Jiang Rao tentatively asked: "Do you... know about my abduction when I was a child?"
Jiang Jinxing nodded slightly, but a "woo" sound came from his nasal cavity.
He pursed his lips, his eyes were about to shed tears, he hugged Jiang Rao's hand preciously and put it on his face, rubbing it, and mumbled harsh words, "I want to kill those nasty human traffickers! "
Turns out I found out about this...
Jiang Rao always remembers what happened when she was abducted when she was six years old, but she doesn't want to think about it.
At this time Ming Shao came in and said: "Girl, His Highness Ninth Prince wants to find you, do you want him to come in?"
"Let him in."
Jiang Rao glanced at the sky, thinking that it was time to finish school at Bailu Academy.
Turning to look at Jiang Jinxing, rubbing his head and saying: "I was abducted six or seven years ago. It has been many years, and I have been fine for a long time."
Jiang Jinxing's eyes were still red.
Jiang Rao looked at his younger brother's immature face, thinking that when he was abducted, he was about the same age as he is now, and felt uneasy in his heart, and said: "In the future, don't always think about getting rid of the little girl who follows you. Boy, if you run out to play alone, you can easily be abducted."
…
At the Lantern Festival that year, Jiang Rao couldn't remember how she was led away from her parents by the maid, and when the maid beside her disappeared.
I just remember that she was by the river, with a bag of jelly beans in her pocket, looking at the lights all over the river, eating jelly beans, when someone covered her with a cloth from behind, fainted and was taken away.
She woke up halfway, jumped out of the trafficker's arms and wanted to run away.
But the remaining medicinal properties of the drug made everything in her vision overlap with several shadows.
In the wilderness and ridges, the black lights are blind, tripped over branches, and plunged into mud pits.
The six-year-old little Jiang Rao is small and light, and it is easy for an adult to lift her up with one hand.
The trafficker held Xiao Jiang Rao by the back collar with one hand, and pulled her out of the mud puddle with her face and body covered in mud. It was as easy as pulling a carrot out of the ground.
Carrying a small carrot all the way, he carried it to a dilapidated house outside the city, threw it in, and closed the door and locked it.
There were still a few children in the room, and the room was filled with the hoarse sobbing voices of children who were tired from crying. They curled up and shivered together.
There was only one little boy, leaning against a wall alone, not staying with other children, looking very out of place.
Only he didn't cry.
His face was bloody, he seemed to be injured, and he was breathing heavily.
His whole face was covered with blood, the moonlight was very dark, she couldn't see what his face looked like, she just felt that his eyes looked very fierce, and when he heard the sound, he raised his eyes to look at her, as if there was a bloody look.
When the trafficker saw him, he cursed and locked her inside, and the sound of his footsteps gradually faded away.
She thought for a long time, but she couldn't escape, crying in despair.
Rustle behind.
The little boy who had been leaning against the wall without any movement walked towards her.
She thought he was coming to accompany her to woo woo woo.
But she never thought that he was here to snatch her jelly beans!
Almost all the jelly beans in a bag were taken away!
But he seemed to be too hungry, the jelly beans in her pocket were covered with mud spots, and he could still eat them.
Although she was also hungry, seeing that he was so hungry, she still wiped away her tears and gave him the remaining few jelly beans.
But after feeding Tang Doudou, he snatched her hairpin again!
Woohoo, this guy is too bad.
…
Jiang Rao didn't want to recall how loudly she cried at that time.
…
The little boy snatched her hairpin and found a stone to grind it into a sharp weapon.
When the traffickers opened the door to see them the next day, he hugged his belly weakly, crying out for pain, and asked for someone to hug him. When the traffickers bent down to look at him, his eyes flashed fiercely, and they aimed at his neck and stabbed him.
When the trafficker resisted, he pinched the little boy's neck so hard that the veins on the back of his hand bulged, but the little boy didn't let go.
Until the trafficker lost his breath and let go.
The little boy slowly let go of the blood-stained hands holding the hairpin tail.
That scene is an eternal shadow in Jiang Rao's heart.
But the trafficker is dead, and she can go home.
In a way, it was the terribly frightening little boy who had saved her life.
Jiang Rao said to Jiang Jinxing: "You must be careful, you will be kidnapped, and nine out of ten will not be able to escape. I was lucky to have that...brave child there."
But the scary child—Jiang Rao added in her heart.
But he saw his younger brother's gaze suddenly moved to the door.
Jiang Rao followed his younger brother's gaze and turned around to look—
By the door, Rong Ting's wheelchair was parked there.
With a slight strangeness in his sight, he was looking at her.
