The weather in winter was particularly deserted, and it snowed again overnight. The whole courtyard was completely white. Fortunately, Shen Chuliu was still interested in building a snowman. So, regardless of whether it was cold or not, he just wrapped it up like a snowman. It came out like a ball.
"This is the first snow I've ever seen..." Shen Chuliu couldn't help but sigh. It's been a long time since he came here. He didn't expect to have experienced so many things. It's rare to see such beautiful snow. , couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"It's not good, it's not good!" Just when Shen Chuliu was about to catch a few snowballs to play with, he heard the housekeeper running over in a panic, "Fortmaster, it's not good, something big has happened." Got it!"
"What happened?" Shen Chuliu couldn't help but frown. After all, the old housekeeper had always been the calmest one. If even he came running in such a panic, something big must have happened.
"Yes...yes..." It seemed that because he had run a little hastily, the old housekeeper could not catch his breath for a long time.
"Grandpa Butler, don't be anxious, speak slowly..." Seeing him running out without even putting on his cloak, and the tip of his nose turning red, Shen Chuliu pulled Gu Nianshen and said, "Mr. It's so cold outside, let's go back to the room first." Then he pulled Gu Nianchen into the room.
After all, there is a brazier or something inside, which would save the old housekeeper from freezing. That would be a big loss...
Shen Chuliu asked the maids to bring a cup of hot tea to the old housekeeper. After a while, the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and began to say, "Yesterday, the second uncle of the castle master's wife was robbed by bandits on his way back. Didn't we just give him a cup of hot tea?" Come."
The old housekeeper took out something like a letter from his pocket and handed it to Gu Nianchen, and then said, "I received this this morning..."
Gu Nianchen opened it and looked at it, but there was no change in his eyes. Shen Chuliu frowned and took it from Gu Nianchen's hand. He saw that the requested ransom was clearly written on it. This was a blackmail letter.
Shen Chuliu put the letter aside and curled his lips. The difficulty in this matter was not the money, but that neither of these two people was lovable. Not only Shen Chuliu, but also Gu Nianshen didn't want it. Go and save them.
"Um..." Shen Chuliu saw that the housekeeper had been sitting there for a long time and didn't say any more, so he spoke first, "Grandpa housekeeper, Gu Yingying's parents, do you know about this matter now?" Shen Chuliu was very curious. at this point.
"Uh..." The old housekeeper was also stunned, and scratched his gray hair in embarrassment, "I was in a hurry just now, so I forgot to tell the two of them about this."
"Okay, it's better not to tell them this kind of thing yet," Shen Chuliu didn't want to hear the 'siren'. If Gu Yingying's mother found out, she would definitely cry like a loudspeaker. Want to have a good sleep.
Let's settle it first and then talk about it. Thinking of this, Shen Chuliu seemed to have made up his mind and said calmly to the old housekeeper, "Grandpa housekeeper, the money they want is not much, you go and prepare it first." After all, it's a few hundred. Two, Lone Wolf Castle still has plenty of them, although I think those two people are not worth the price.
But it’s still two lives anyway, so let’s pay to get them back first.
"Hey, okay, I'll go and do it now..." After saying that, the old housekeeper got up and walked out.
