This Xia was shocked and was about to rush forward, but was held by Mrs. Shen.
At this time, the monks were chasing after him, and Shangguanxi and Guangzhan were also coming from the other direction, blocking the way of the Japanese pirates.
Seeing that there was no way to go, the Japanese pirates rushed to Shangguanxi with an oriental saber furiously, trying to break through from the weakest point. A Rui rushed to block the knife, but was accidentally picked up by the Toyo Knife, revealing his scarred face...
Seeing his face suddenly, Rao was very knowledgeable, and Shangguan Xi couldn't help but be startled. The wound was so painful that she was half-kneeling on the ground. Seeing her injury, Ah Rui was angry and remorseful. He knew that his skills had not recovered and that he could not stand against the Japanese pirates, but he stood in front of her with a desperate posture.
Seeing that Shangguanxi and Chunyumin were both injured, this summer, the injury on the leg has just recovered, and they can't exert themselves, and they can't break away from Madam Shen. I don't know where Madam Shen came from so much strength, it seems that even if she were to break her arm. A posture that won't let go. She was so anxious that she said to Mrs. Shen, "Let me go!"
"No! I can't let you die again!"
Fortunately, A Rui's appearance was terrifying, and under his anger, the palpitations of the Oriental people's expectations were not able to gain the upper hand on him.
Guangzhan independently picked out two Japanese pirates and freed up his hands to help A Rui, just in time for the younger brothers to arrive. Under the chaos, the Japanese pirates had nowhere to escape.
Only then did Mrs. Shen let go of this summer, and she hurried out.
"Sister Shangguan, how are you?" she asked anxiously.
Xie Xiao finally rushed over and said anxiously, "Sister!"
Guang Zhan had already ordered Shangguanxi's acupoints to stop the bleeding. Shangguanxi's face was pale, and he forced a smile: "It's just a skin injury, fourth, you don't need to make a fuss."
This summer, it was clear to me just now that the injury was deep and visible to the bone, and it was definitely not a skin injury, and it was unknown whether the knife was poisoned or not.
"Aunt, aunt... Come and help Sister Shangguan take a look." She turned her head and begged Mrs. Shen.
At this time, Mrs. Shen did not refuse, she came over with a medical kit, and squatted down to check Shangguanxi's wound. Although Shangguanxi was a junior sister, she was a woman after all, and Guangzhan and other monks turned their backs to avoid suspicion. Du Du Xie Xiao realized it later, and stared at him with concern, until he was pulled away by Guang Zhan, and he woke up with a big red face.
A Rui did not dare to come any closer, so he silently picked up the hat and put it on, quietly waiting in the distance.
"Miss Yuan, this way!" Cen Shou shouted this summer.
This summer, he ran over quickly and saw that he was helping Chunyumin's maid, while Chunyumin was lying on the ground covered in blood, already unconscious.
"She's out of breath." Cen Shou pressed on the maid's neck, and there was no pulse.
"What about her?"
Looking nervously at Chun Yumin in a pool of blood this summer, she couldn't figure out where she was injured, and she didn't dare to touch her at all.
If something happened to Chunyumin, how could the eldest son explain it to him? Cen Shou frowned. He first probed Chunyumin's pulse, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm still alive."
This summer is also relieved. After getting along these days, although Chun Yumin is squeamish, she is very nice. Besides, she is still Lu Yi's cousin, so she should take good care of Chun Yumin.
"You see where she's hurt?"
Cen Shou couldn't do the inspection, so he got up and turned his back.
This summer, he carefully examined Chun Yumin from head to toe, and said in surprise: "She has no wounds on her body, not even her clothes are torn. The blood on her body should be the blood of the maid."
"Then how did she..."
Cen Shou turned around, and he was only halfway through his words, and he and Jin Xia understood at the same time.
Chunyu Min was suffering from dizziness and excessive fright, so it should have passed.
The two sighed in relief at the same time.
"You can wake up if you pinch people." Cen Shou signaled this summer.
He hesitated for a while this summer, looked at the body of the maid next to him, sighed and discussed with Cen Shou: "I woke her up now, I guess she still has to pass, let her faint for a while."
"you… "
Although Cen Shou felt it was inappropriate, he had to admit that he was telling the truth this summer.
At this time, the people of the ferry had already fled, and the ferry, which was almost crowded before, now looked empty. The monks of Southern Shaolin bandaged the wounded and buried the dead in an orderly manner, and even the corpses of Japanese pirates were also properly buried. After the burial, Guangzhan led the brothers to recite the scriptures and pray in front of the tomb.
"Even the Japanese pirates have to recite the scriptures for them?" This summer asked inexplicably.
Xie Xiao shrugged and said, "Elder Brother said that all living beings have Buddha-nature, forget it... I don't understand either."
Mrs. Shen had already bandaged Shangguan Xi properly, and instructed: "The wound is quite deep. These days, I need to rest and not go to the ground, so that the meridians can slowly recover."
Shangguanxi frowned and said, "But I..."
At this time, Guangzhan had finished reciting and walked over and said, "Junior Sister Shangguan, shall we take you back to the temple, or do you want to go back to Yangzhou?"
"I am injured alone, how can I drag the brothers." Shangguanxi gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to go back to Yangzhou for the time being. I can live nearby by myself, and I will find you when I recover."
This summer, he suggested: "Sister Shangguan, if you cross the river, you will be Xinhe City. Why don't you go to Xinhe City with us, and your brothers can rest assured?"
Guangzhan nodded and said, "That's very good, Xinhe City is where General Qi's troops are stationed. I heard that there are good teachings and order in the city. You can stay there to recover, Junior Sister, and we can come to find you in a few days. "
After thinking about it, this is indeed the most appropriate method, and it will not drag the brothers to take care of themselves, Shangguanxi nodded.
Xie Xiao thought for a moment, and said to Guangzhan: "Eldest brother, I will stay with her in Xinhe City, so I can take care of her."
"Fourth..."
Shangguanxi didn't expect him to stay. After all, Xie Xiao's temperament is like a fire, and he is a chivalrous and righteous man. These days, he follows the brothers to sweep away Japanese pirates, and he is indescribably high-spirited.
"I have to take good care of you. If something goes wrong, my father will definitely break my leg." Xie Xiao stopped her, "It's settled."
It turned out to be worried about the old man's scolding, Shangguan Xi smiled slightly, and there was a bit of bitterness in his heart.
When Chunyu Min woke up, he found himself sitting on the trunk of a tree, with a large robe draped over him for some time. She raised her eyes and saw that the surroundings were very calm. There were not so many people fleeing, and even the warrior monk was gone. This summer, the others were loading their luggage on the ferry.
Could it be that it was just Nanke Yimeng, she slowly stood up straight, thinking blankly...
"Miss Chunyu, you're awake, it's time to get on the boat." Yang Yue said gently.
"Brother Yang..." Chun Yumin looked around, looking for her maid and maid, "Where are they?"
Yang Yue sighed in embarrassment: "That... the girl's maid has been killed by the Japanese pirates, and we haven't found the girl's nanny. I think it was lost during the chaos."
"Killed by Japanese pirates?!"
Chunyumin's mind is still a little confused: then everything that happened before was not a dream, it was true that the Japanese pirates rushed over, it was true that the knife was cut down, and the maid Bi'er was splashed with blood and fell on her, all of this was true. real.
"Bill is dead..."
Seeing that her body was shaky, Yang Yue had to stretch out his hand to help her, and quickly withdrew his hand: "We have buried her well, just on the edge of the woods, marked it, and her family will look for her if they want to take her back. Get... This summer, come here!" The last sentence was shouted at Jin Xia by the boat.
This summer, he turned his head and saw Chunyumin awake. He walked over in three steps: "Miss Chunyu, you're awake."
With tears in her eyes, Chun Yumin said sadly, "Can you take me to see where Bi'er is buried?"
"Row."
This summer, he helped her to walk to the woods, stopped not long ago, pointed to an inconspicuous small grave and said: "It's buried here, and the tree next to it has a mark. The brothers in Nanshaolin also recited scriptures for her. Exceed."
"Thank you for being thoughtful."
Chunyumin thanked this summer, knelt down at the tomb, and kowtowed straightly. I was stunned this summer, and even Yang Yue, who was a little far away, was also stunned... Logically, Chun Yumin is the master, and the maid Bi'er is the servant. Even if Bi'er dies, the master's family can give a generous reward to his family. But I have never heard of the master's kowtow to the grave in person.
"She died at the hands of Japanese pirates because of me."
At the juncture of life and death, Chun Yumin remembered clearly that Bi'er used her body to cover her.
This summer, I also paid my respects at the grave: "I can't believe that Miss Bi'er, a little girl, has such a sense of loyalty, and I admire her very much."
Chun Yumin slowly got up and looked around again, but there was no sign of the mama.
Although it's not the right time, this summer, I think it's time to let Chunyumin know: "Mammy is gone, we looked around and couldn't find her. If I remember correctly, the girl was wrapped in a soft package with Mammy, I think it was She thought something happened to you, and it was a mess at the time, so... "
Mammy escaped alone with Xiao Ruan, Chunyu Min was silent for a moment, there was no reproach on her face, she only said: "It's fine for her, everything is trivial."
In this chaos, not everyone will have such a mind. Before this summer, I thought she was just a good-natured lady, but now she really looks at her differently.
Getting on the ferry, watching the boat slowly leave the ferry, the sky has gradually darkened.
"Thinking about what?"
Cen Shou saw that he was sitting alone in the stern of the boat this summer, his robe was splashed and ignored, and he went straight to the trance.
Jin Xia sighed: "I just hope that Mr. Lu and your brother don't encounter such a thing."
"Don't worry, they can't meet without you." Cen Shou teased.
This Xia glanced at him angrily, and said angrily: "How many things have been lost, have you counted them? How much money is left?"
In the chaos just now, the luggage and silver that they had placed under the tree disappeared, together with the money that Cen Shou had just obtained from selling the carriage. They thought that someone was fishing in troubled waters and took advantage of the chaos. Much can't be found.
However, Cen Shou didn't say how much money he had left, and just said with a blank face: "Miss Chunyu's uncle is in Xinhe City, and he is also a big family, so he will not refuse to entertain us... It will be fine when the eldest son and my brother come. "
"Eat and drink?" This summer is not ashamed, but still worried, "We still have two injured people here, ah... That way, people may not be willing to let us live for long."
"If it really doesn't work, go to the official post."
"My uncle and aunt are not from the official family, nor are sister Shangguan and brother Xie's family. How could Guanyi let them live?" This summer felt inappropriate.
Cen Shou snorted: "Jin Yiwei is doing business, who would dare to ask more."
"Domineering, brother." This Xia tutted, "We don't dare to act so unreasonably in Six Doors."
The sun was slowly setting, and on the river, turbid waves came in waves, slapping the sides of the boat.
After crossing the river, Xinhe City is not far ahead. After the group entered the city this summer, they sent Chunyumin to her uncle's house first.
Cen Shou knew that this summer and Yang Yue were so poor that he didn't want to ask about the others, and he had a limited amount of silver left on him. If such a large group of people stayed in the inn, the cost would be too high; living in the official post was inconvenient because of A Rui, so I wanted to spend some time at Uncle Chunyumin's house and wait for the eldest son and Cen Shou to return.
It was getting late at this time, and after turning several streets to reach her uncle's house, Yang Yue stepped forward and knocked on the door. After waiting for a long time, an old man came out to answer the door.
"Uncle Xu." Chun Yumin stepped forward and called out politely.
This summer, I looked inside from the half-opened door and saw a pitch-dark area. It didn't look like there were family members living here, and I secretly screamed in my heart.
Uncle Xu's eyes were dim, he held up the lantern and looked at Chunyumin for a while, before realizing it later: "You... Are you the second girl?"
"Yeah, the old ancestor asked me to come back to worship the ancestors, can the uncle and aunt be at home?" Chun Yumin asked.
"It's unfortunate that the girl came here. Now it's not as good as in previous years. There are Japanese pirates everywhere. I don't know where the news came from a few days ago. In a few days, come back when it is peaceful."
The uncle's family has moved out! Chun Yumin was taken aback and didn't know what to do for a while.
"Didn't it say that New River City is guarded by General Qi, and the city is in good order? Why did you flee?" asked this summer in surprise.
"It's been over since Wang Zhi was arrested and imprisoned last year. The Japanese pirates have made a lot of trouble. Every once in a while, I hear that the Japanese pirates are going to attack, which makes people nervous. Master is also helpless."
Uncle Xu didn't look like a maid this summer anyway. Yang Yue and Cen Shou naturally looked like warriors. He looked down the steps and saw Xie Xiao carrying Shangguanxi on his back, A Rui masked in black veil, and Uncle Beggar being sloppy. Li sloppy, but standing with Mrs. Shen, muttered to such a group of people, and couldn't help asking: "Second girl, didn't you bring a maid? Where's the maid? Who are these people?"
Chunyumin could only meet Japanese pirates on the way, the maid was killed, and the maid was lost. As for the identity of Yang Yue and others this summer, he was also truthfully told. Cen Shou was worried that the old man would shut them out, so he stepped forward to show Jin Yiwei's waist badge, and specifically mentioned that Lu Yi sent Chun Yumin back to his hometown at the old lady's order.
Hearing that they belonged to the official family and also had Jinyiwei, Xu Bo suddenly became very enthusiastic and thought about it: "Although the master is not at home now, it is inconvenient for the girl to live here, but there is another courtyard to the west, if the girl does not dislike it. , I can let you all live here first. It's just that the other courtyard has been vacant for a few days, and the things are still complete, but there is no one to call. I will recruit some people for the girl tomorrow. "
"No, no..." Cen Shou hurriedly stopped, "We're not used to having busy people waiting, we don't have to be busy, we just need to live by ourselves." Recruiting servants costs money, and at this moment, we have to save some if we can.
Uncle Xu hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I don't know the taboos of your official family. I'll go get the key of the other courtyard now, everyone wait a moment." After speaking, he turned around and went to the house to get the key.
Outside the gate, this summer glanced at Cen Shou: "Do you do laundry or cook?"
"… what do you want to say in the end?"
"It's obvious that there are no servants in the other courtyard, so we have to do everything by ourselves, from boiling water and tea to doing laundry and cooking, we all have to have someone do it." It's the distinguished guests we invited, and they must not be allowed to work. There are two others who are injured and can't work. The rest are just the few of us. You are still a man, so you should do some work. "
"Could you be able to make a difference in the Six Doors, why are you thinking about these bits and pieces all day long..."
Before Cen Shou finished speaking, Chun Yumin said timidly, "Miss Yuan, what do you think I should do?"
This summer was stunned for a moment, and then Cen Shou gave him a fierce stare.
"Miss Chunyu, don't listen to her nonsense, where can you work?" Cen Shou hurriedly said, winking hard at Jin Xia, "Speak nonsense, don't explain it to the girl."
"Oh... Well, I think the sewing and mending work can be handed over to Miss Chunyu. Your female worker is a good learner. Last time I saw the embroidery pattern was very good." This summer encouraged her.
Knowing that he could also do a little bit, Chunyu Minton felt more at ease, and smiled back this summer.
Cen Shou really didn't expect that he would dare to instruct Chun Yumin this summer, because the eldest son favored her, and her status as a small catcher really made him unhappy.
"Guangzhi instructs others, what about you, what are you doing?" Cen Shou asked her angrily.
This summer, calmly, said: "No hurry, when the division of labor has been decided, as long as you can't do the work, I will do it."
"Blow it on you!" Cen Shou snorted.
Yang Yue just smiled and said nothing.
