As the man roared, Helan Xiaoxiao, who was comforting the 'frightened', was startled. She subconsciously picked up Sister Goose and stared at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her.
Li Nanke walked forward quickly, saw the woman's face clearly, and was amazed.
Compared with the facial features of women in the Central Plains area, the face of the 'girl' in front of me is extremely three-dimensional, with a thin and straight nose bridge, but the childlike look of her face is somewhat less sharp, adding a pitiable weakness.
Especially when paired with her almost water-white complexion, her pair of bright blue gem-like eyes and slightly curly long hair, she is as delicate as a doll.
"What are you doing! Stealing a goose!"
Seeing Sister Goose being held in his arms, Li Nanke was very angry and snatched her away.
I looked back at the door and found it was tightly closed.
Looking at the bamboo basket at the door, he also guessed that Luo Qianqiu had gone to the nearby mountains to collect herbs.
"You...you...put it down quickly!"
Helan Xiaoxiao had never been so cruel to someone, and her eyes were red for a moment, but when she saw the big white goose being held by the man's neck and struggling, she immediately became anxious and rushed forward to snatch it.
Li Nanke was speechless.
His grandma just stole the goose while the owner was away, but now he robbed it in front of his face?
Sister Goose is something you ordinary people can't touch.
Seeing the 'girl' ruthlessly snatching the goose from his hand, coupled with the depression he had suffered at the county government office before, and the strange things that happened in the past two days, Li Nanke felt inexplicably upset and angry, and unceremoniously said to '
The girl's butt was slapped hard.
Snapped!
The crisp sound instantly echoed throughout the small courtyard.
Helan Xiaoxiao screamed in pain and quickly covered her buttocks. She was stunned on the spot with tears in her eyes.
Li Nanke did not tolerate her. He shook Sister Goose in his hand and said, "No matter who you are, if you steal other people's geese, you can be reported to the police and arrested!"
"This goose is...yours?"
Helan Xiaoxiao reacted, looked around, and then realized that she had chased the big white goose to the other party's house.
Hearing this, Li Nanke was happy.
"Is it mine or yours? Why don't you look at this goose? Is it following you?"
Li Nanke threw Sister Goose to the ground.
The big white goose flapped its wings and got into Helan Xiaoxiao's arms.
The two of them just looked at each other, and the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
Li Nanke naturally pulled Sister Goose from her arms and said coldly: "Anyway, if I see you stealing my goose again next time, I will report it to the police... No, I will take you directly to the Yamen."
"I can buy it!"
Seeing the big white goose being grabbed by the neck and being tossed around by a man again, Helan Xiaoxiao felt extremely distressed and said quickly.
Li Nanke stood still. "Buy my goose?"
"Uh-huh."
Helan Xiaoxiao nodded her little head repeatedly.
Thinking back to the folk prices that I heard from the maids in the palace, I wanted to figure out a number. But seeing that the big white goose seemed unusual, I felt a little entangled in my heart, so Helan Xiaoxiao stretched out a tender
Bai's fingers cautiously opened the price.
"One hundred taels?"
After all, she doesn't have much private money.
Li Nanke looked at the luxurious dress on the other party's body, frowned, and said coldly: "Jie Goose is not for sale!"
"How about... add another hundred taels?"
The other party's firm attitude was unexpected by the woman, so she had no choice but to spend some more personal money.
Li Nanke sneered and said: "Girl, can't you see that this goose is the beloved of my relatives and friends, and is my family?"
"In that case, then..."
“Gotta pay more!”
"..." Helan Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, thinking that Xiao Ruyue should be rich, so she tentatively increased the price. "How about adding another thousand taels?"
"...
"Two thousand taels?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the big white goose was stuffed directly into her arms.
Li Nanke immediately changed his face to a kind smile and stretched out his hand as if he was afraid that the other party would regret it.
"Although it's a little short, but I really like the girl, so I can only reluctantly part with her. Come on, pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. Oh, by the way, do you want that big turtle?"
Li Nanke pointed to Mr. Turtle blowing wind by the pond.
"That turtle is also a close friend of mine. If you like it, girl, I'll sell it to you cheaper for two hundred and fifty taels. Just treat it as a friend. I won't charge you a penny more."
Helan Xiaoxiao glanced at it and shook her little head. "It's too ugly, I don't want it."
"Uh...it's really ugly."
Li Nanke saw that he had almost the same turtle neck and turtle head as his brother, and he knew that he couldn't sell it, so he gave up the idea of selling it.
"Okay, then give me the money."
"I don't have any money with me now."
"roll!"
The man grabbed Sister Goose's neck, turned around and entered the house, not bothering to talk to this young lady who appeared out of nowhere.
Looking at the closed door, Helan Xiaoxiao stood blankly, at a loss.
…
The atmosphere inside the county government office was depressing.
Dong Wankun and Nie Ying knelt on the ground, looking extremely respectful.
Shen Chunhe knelt on the ground, sweat dripping from his forehead, and did not dare to raise his head to look at the noble woman in front of him.
The county magistrate only complained in his heart.
As soon as trouble broke out, the eldest princess arrived in a blink of an eye. This small Dongqi County was afraid that things were about to change.
"Get up."
Bai Ruyue waved her hands, her charming face unable to conceal her anxiety.
She motioned to Shen Chunhe to go out first, and after Dong Wankun and Nie Ying were left in the hall, she immediately said: "The Empress Dowager is missing. Immediately summon all the people to search for her."
What!?
The two of them looked shocked and had questions on their faces.
Isn’t the Empress Dowager in the palace? Why is she missing?
Bai Ruyue was too lazy to explain the inside story and said coldly: "The Empress Dowager and I went out to relax. After entering Dongqi County... due to an accident, she disappeared. She must be found as soon as possible.
But remember, you must keep a low profile and not reveal the identity of the Empress Dowager! If anything happens to the Empress Dowager, you will know the consequences!"
The eldest princess was very distressed at the moment.
It was obviously just a blink of an eye, but the person disappeared.
Thanks to her sworn promise in front of Queen Lin Weiyang that she would protect the Queen Mother. But she disappeared on the first day. If something happened, the consequences would be disastrous.
The eldest princess felt regretful and self-blame.
After hearing the princess' order, Dong Wankun and Nie Ying were speechless.
Well, something big just happened here, and now the Empress Dowager is missing again. She is really good at causing trouble.
Nie Ying hesitated for a moment, then had to bite the bullet and said:
"Your Highness, Princess Shanyun, not long ago, the body of Princess Shanyun was snatched away by people from the Tianqiong Sect. Now they are searching with all their strength. I'm afraid... not too many people can be spared..."
"Princess Shanyun was robbed!?"
Bai Ruyue, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up with a look of shock on her face.
…
Guessing that it would take a long time for his wife to come back from collecting herbs, Li Nanke threw Sister Goose on the bed and rushed towards her...
Sister Goose was so frightened that she almost meowed.
She flapped her wings and quickly hid in a corner, shivering, like a good lady about to be forced.
Seeing the man fall down and go to sleep, Sister Goose relaxed.
In the red rain dream.
Li Nanke stood in the familiar dilapidated wedding room, staring out of the bright window thoughtfully.
Just like last time, the red rain outside stopped again.
The door can also be opened easily.
Li Nanke did not run out recklessly. He first took a look at the bride with a blunderbuss to see if the bride with her head raised was still here to be the sixth child.
When no one was seen, Li Nanke threw out half a candle to test his reaction.
After several tests, Li Nanke confirmed that the scary bride had left, so he bravely walked into the fog.
Mysterious dreams and unknown worlds can most arouse people's curiosity.
But not long after the man left, a woman wearing a bright red wedding dress appeared at the door of the wedding room.
The woman stood quietly, her figure swaying like a candlelight.
Staring at the man's figure gradually disappearing into the mist, the bride's crimson lips slowly formed a strange smile.
