Chapter 37: The Trap
It was late at night, but Ye Junsheng had not yet fallen asleep. He thought about some of the many things and was unable to sleep. He then found the "Spiritual Fox Picture" he carried with him, unfolded it, and watched it under the lamp.
The white fox in the painting reads lifelike and has a quiet and peaceful expression. When you look at it, you will be immersed in the painting environment without realizing it, be infected and calm down.
After looking at it for a while, he rolled up the scroll. Ye Jun was in a prosperous business and immediately spread out the four treasures of the study, swish, swish, brushing ink, copying a poem:
"The river goes east, the waves wash away, and the eternal heroes..."
It is the famous poem "Nian Nujiao? Nostalgia for the Red Cliffs" that has been passed down through the ages. It does not write the title, but only writes the main text. It is completed in one go, after writing, throwing the pen, and not cleaning up, and goes to bed directly.
The next day, Ye Junsheng took his sister ashore and wanted to go to Daoan Mansion to stroll. Before leaving, Jiang Jing'er angrily reminded them to come back soon. Because tonight's poetry meeting officially began, the title of the Xu hour will be passed on, so that the contestants will improvise it. It took half an hour, and the manuscript will be submitted after the deadline, and no one will be accepted.
Ye Junsheng responded and left.
Compared with Pengcheng County, Dao'an Prefecture is larger and more prosperous, with endless crowds and many new things sold on the streets.
Ye Junmei was overwhelmed with interest, but she just watched and never bought it. After Ye Junsheng's business of writing couplets in the countryside, he was a little more than a hundred cents. However, in the beginning of spring, Ye Junsheng participated in the boy test and used more money. He had to spend all these savings, which was not enough. How could he dare to spend money randomly?
Ye Junsheng saw through his sister's thoughts and walked to a stall without thinking, asking for a jade bracelet. The bracelet has a bad texture.
How could good jewelry be placed on the street to hawk?
When I was browsing just now, Ye Junmei obviously liked the bracelet very much, but after repeatedly picking it up and watching it, she put it down again.
Ye Junsheng saw this scene, regardless of his sister's objection, he paid the price roughly and bought it, and put it on Ye Junmei's wrist with his own hands.
"Brother, how can this be..."
Ye Junmei has always been a thorn hairpin and cloth skirt, and she shows her plain face, and she has never worn any ornaments. Now her brother spends half of his savings to buy a jade bracelet for him. He can't help but feel moved and anxious.
Ye Junsheng smiled and said, "It's okay." Keep going.
"Um?"
As he walked, he suddenly stood still and looked back, but he looked around but found nothing.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Ye Junmei asked curiously.
"nothing."
Ye Junsheng answered casually, saying that he felt that someone was following him just now, but just observed carefully, but there was no abnormality. It seemed that he was too careful.
After wandering around, at noon, after eating a bowl of noodles, it was almost time, and the two brothers and sisters began to leave the city and prepare to return to the Jiang family's boat.
I never thought that as soon as I left the city gate, the climate suddenly changed, and the winter rain drizzled, hitting my body, and the chill was filled with coldness.
The two of them did not carry rain gear and had to return to the city. When they saw someone renting a carriage, they gritted their teeth and rented one for twenty cents, and rushed out of the city.
The wheels were rumbling and moving forward in the wind and rain.
The rain was coming just now, and both of them were wet. Fortunately, they were wearing thicker and had little impact. As for the hair, Ye Junsheng wore a scholar's scarf, which was considered a hat, which could protect the whole thing; but Ye Junmei had no choice. Her hair was a little wet, so she simply untied it and spread it freely, black and shiny, naturally straight, with a few strands hanging on her chest, making her look white and had a unique laziness.
Listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the car tent, Ye Junsheng sighed: "I didn't expect it would rain today."
Ye Junmei smiled and said, "This is the time for rainy season."
Indeed, the rain at this time is often compared with the autumn rain, and it is extremely continuous and will not stop for several days.
Listening to the sound of wind and rain and talking gossip, time passed quietly.
"Hey, it's not right!"
Ye Junsheng suddenly realized that Daoan Mansion is not very far from the banks of Tongjiang River, and it takes about half an hour to walk, why is it less than a long time to ride a carriage?
"Carrier, why are you not on the dock yet?"
I heard the coachman answer: "Young Master, it's hard to walk on the road when it rains, so it's a little slow."
Ye Junsheng didn't believe it and shouted, "Stop the car, I'll see the environment." As he said that, he was about to lift the curtain of the car and look at the surrounding areas.
"drive!"
The coachman did not obey the orders at all, but instead whipped the horse whip hard, and the speed of the car was speeding up in vain.
Ye Junsheng was shocked and angry: "What a thief!" He rushed forward and wanted to subdue the coachman first.
With a loud bang, the carriage arrived at a place of destination, rushed in, and stopped urgently, with the sound of closing the door behind.
Ye Junsheng rushed out and finally saw the surrounding environment clearly. It turned out to be a high-walled yard with walls above and more than two meters high, bare.
The yard is about a hundred square meters and is empty. There is a house behind it, with the door closed, and the courtyard gate in front is also tightly closed, forming a trap where there is no way out and no way out behind.
The coachman had actually practiced martial arts. He jumped on the spot and was agile. Finally, he stood on the steps, put his hands on his chest, and looked at Ye Junsheng and sneered.
Ye Junsheng shouted: "Who are you who deceived us here?"
The man said proudly: "Su's surname is Su, who is the Peng family's guardian."
Peng family?
Ye Junsheng woke up in a flash: "You were instructed by Peng Qingshan?"
Su Huyuan laughed and said, "My second young master is an official in the court. How could he do such a thing?"
Ye Junsheng is not a stupid person: "It turns out it's Peng Qingcheng, what do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do?"
Su Huyuan laughed: "You will know when the eldest young master arrives later. He will probably come here at dusk. During this period, I advise you to stay in the carriage obediently and enjoy the last peaceful time. Don't try to call for help or escape. This farm is built in a wasteland. Even if you scream, no one will hear it."
He was full of confidence and looked at the Ye brothers and sisters, just like watching two people waiting to die.
"elder brother!"
As a disaster came, Ye Junmei couldn't help panic and grabbed her brother's clothes tightly.
"Junmei, you don't have to be afraid with your brother."
Ye Junsheng said calmly and patrolled the ground. He found a dead branch as thick as a finger, only half a foot long. He picked it up and crossed it in front of his chest, as if a peerless swordsman had picked up the sword he had been with for many years. However, mud and water kept falling from the dead branches.
"Junmei, when you return to the carriage, your brother will protect you."
When Su Huyuan heard this, he saw Ye Junsheng looking very serious. He was shocked at first, then laughed loudly, making his stomach hurt. He had seen a lot of people, but he had never met such a stupid person in his life, and he had never heard such childish words. It was so funny.
However, in his sight, the naturally beautiful girl really sat back into the carriage calmly, without screaming or panic - there is no need to be afraid with her brother here!
