Chapter 21

There are seven gates in Quanzhou, and the reason for choosing Jinmen out of the city was after careful consideration in advance.

After the death of Jiafu's father, Zhang Da was responsible for all the external affairs of the Zhen family. He was steady and capable, with long sleeves and good dancing skills. , The relationship with him has always been good. The most important point is that Shi Quanyou is not familiar with Zhen Yaoting, and usually has no contacts. It was based on this consideration that Zhang Dacai decided to go through this city gate, and was finally released without any danger.

There is absolutely no possibility of hiding people in the carriage. How could Shi Quanyou have thought that the man sitting in the carriage was not the son of the Zhen family, but a man of unknown origin who was eager to leave the city. The woman in the car was actually Jiafu, a girl from the Zhen family.

Jiafu has been with Xiao Yintang for many years, and knows that he is good at calculating and unscrupulous in doing things.

Just before he set off, he asked her to go with her in the car as a cover, but Mrs. Hu refused at first, saying that he would arrange another clever maid of trust for him, but he insisted on Jiafu, because his grandson was betrayed by him. At the end, Mrs. Hu had no choice but to make him swear to God that he would not hurt Jiafu, and to let her go immediately after leaving the city.

Xiao Yintang agreed.

When the carriage was approaching the city gate just now, he messed up her bun, ripped her dress apart, pinched a part of her waist with one hand, pressed his face on her shoulder, and made an appearance of being intimate with her.

At the moment when the carriage door was opened, Jiafu clearly felt that the strength of his hands intensified, and the strength seemed to cut off her waist, and her whole body suddenly tense, like a drawn bow.

It's a sign of extreme emotional tension, and with it the body becomes extremely excited.

Jiafu kept her eyes closed and didn't move. As soon as she walked out of the city gate, she pushed away Xiao Yintang who was still hugging her. She had to get up from his lap before standing up. He suddenly put his hands on her shoulders, Jiafu felt a heavy weight, her knees bent, and she was pushed back by him.

Xiao Yintang lowered her head slightly, her eyes fell on Jiafu's tender face that could be broken by bullets, starting from her eyebrows, her eyes slowly wandered down, passed her nose, and finally landed on her lips. Stopped for a moment, then leaned over slightly, brought the tip of his nose to her temples, and tentatively smelled the fragrance scattered from her hair, the Adam's apple moved imperceptibly, and then lifted one. Hands, as if to lift her chin.

Jiafu turned her face quickly, avoiding his movements, raised her hand and quickly knocked on the wall of the car, making two crisp "tuk-tuk" sounds, and a tight and tense voice immediately came from outside the car window: "Young master has What's your order?"

Not long after leaving the city gate, the distance here is still very close. Xiao Yintang's hand fell into the air, stopped in the air, paused slightly, and stared at Jiafu.

Jiafu broke free, and supported herself on the wall of the car to a corner near the car door, turned her back to him, lowered her head and tidied up her slightly messy clothes, then twisted her long hair back, never looking back.

As soon as the carriage came out of the city gate, it accelerated its speed, Zhang Da followed closely, went out for more than ten miles in one breath, and finally arrived at Zhuangzikou. After stopping, the driver and everyone nearby were sent away from a distance. , stepped forward and said in a low voice: "This son, here we are." Then he opened the car door, looked in, and saw Jia Fu sitting beside him, the man leaning on the back seat of the carriage, his eyes Staring at her back, Fang breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the man was still not moving, he said again, "Young master, here we are, the place is safe, the horses have been fed before they came out, and the strength of their legs is also very good. Today, they can travel at least hundreds of miles. You can leave Quanzhou on the road, and few people come and go during the day, so please leave quickly.”

The corner of Xiao Yintang's lips hooked, Fang retracted his gaze, tied his hair back, covered his clothes, got up and walked past Jiafu, bent down and got off the carriage.

Zhang Da hurriedly presented the mount that he had just left the city on. Seeing that the man had turned on his horse, before leaving, he turned his head and glanced back at the closed carriage, and finally rode away in the direction he had just pointed, and the figure gradually disappeared. At the end of the road, he let out a long sigh, wiped his sweat, ran back to the carriage, and comforted in a low voice, "Little lady, you were wronged just now, fortunately the thief has left and no one knows about it. …”

"Uncle Zhang, I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Across the carriage door, a soft voice came out, with a calm tone.

Jiafu did not go back to the city that night, but stayed in the Grange. She immersed herself in a tub filled with hot water, immersed herself in the water, and wiped the skin all over her body over and over again, until finally, her whole body was red, and the touched skin was bleeding. After being soaked in water, it became faintly tingling, and this finally suppressed the feeling of bone erosion and aversion to cold that emanated from the depths of the skin.

Xiao Yintang has left, but his entourage, Liu Yi, has been secretly staying at Zhen's house, detaining Zhen Yaoting. Mrs. Hu kept the matter secret, and the whole family, except Meng Shi, Jiafu, and Zhang Da, knew nothing about it. It was not until half a month later that the government investigated the whole city to no avail, and the city gate was blocked. Liu Yicai He left quietly in the middle of the night, and Zhen Yaoting had been tied to the workshop by him for the past two weeks. Her cheeks were sunken, she was haggard, and her whole body was foul smelling. When she heard Jiafu pounce on him to call his brother, she cried bitterly, knelt on the ground and slapped herself incessantly, and fell ill the next day. In March, my body gradually got better.

After the serious illness, Zhen Yaoting seemed to have changed a person. He never mentioned going to sea with the boat, let alone hanging out with the gangsters in Quanzhou City. He went out early and returned late with Zhang Da every day. .

At the beginning of this year, although the Zhen family suffered such an inexplicable accident, it was fortunate that the matter finally passed. Zhen Yaoting learned a lesson from this accident, and his temperament also changed greatly. Old Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Meng were very pleased when they saw it. On the day of the Mazu meeting on March 23, the whole city of Quanzhou came out, people sang operas and set off guns, and went to the Mazu Temple to offer sacrifices and pray for blessings. The whole road, from start to finish, was crowded with people. In previous years, the Mazu Association was led by the Zhen family and other big households in the city, and this year was no exception. The old lady took Mrs. Meng and Zhen Yaoting Jiafu to the Mazu Temple together.

The Mazu Temple was crowded with people. After the solemn sacrifice, the old lady personally took Zhen Yaoting to visit the officials in the prefecture who were also here today. Mrs. Meng brought Jiafu and prepared to go to the quiet room after the Mazu Temple, which was specially set up for the female relatives of large families. Li Xiao sat, brought a few servants, and the mother and daughter came out from the front hall. Mrs. Meng met a small official wife who had a good relationship on weekdays. Gaff. Jiafu knew that she was trying to find a matchmaker for her, but she felt unhappy, so she turned her back and leaned to the side, waiting for her mother to dismiss the lady, when she suddenly heard a commotion in the distance, raised her eyes. , I saw a thick smoke billowing from there, and I don't know which ship parked in the port caught fire. Then, I heard someone shouting, saying that the golden-faced dragon king went ashore to rob, murdered and set fire, and was rushing towards this side. Come, let people run.

Although many ships in Quanzhou are protected by the golden-faced Dragon King when they go out to sea, this is something that cannot be said on the table. The other party is a pirate after all, and in the official documents of the government, the golden-faced Dragon King is guilty of monstrous crimes, just like a sea devil. , The wanted list was also posted on the gates of various cities. Suddenly, when he heard the golden-faced dragon king go ashore to rob, kill, and set fire, all of them were afraid, and they turned around and fled.

In fact, as long as you have a little brain, you will know that this is impossible. Mazu is considered to be a protector in the Nanyang area. Although the Golden-faced Dragon King is a pirate, he also depends on the sea for food. Even if he really wants to go ashore to rob, he will not choose today.

But this is often the case, once someone escapes, the panic will spread quickly, and who will think whether it is true or not.

In front of the Mazu Temple, there was a mess, and everyone turned around and fled. Mrs. Meng was hit by a person who rushed over, and she almost lost her footing. Fortunately, she was supported by Liu Ma next to her. Jiafu heard her mother calling her anxiously, she answered, and was about to run to meet her and leave, but she was separated by the crowd of people rushing in, and she stumbled when someone hooked her ankle. , Before he could stand up, his mouth and nose were suddenly covered by someone from behind, and a sweet smell penetrated into his breath. He wanted to scream, but he couldn't make a sound, and soon he lost consciousness.

...

When Jiafu woke up, she found that her hands and feet were bound, her mouth was blocked, and she was lying in a carriage, the doors and windows of the carriage were closed, the light was dim, and the speed was extremely fast and bumpy.

Her head was still dizzy, her hands and feet were sore, and she was lying there, unable to even move.

After the accident at the beginning of the year, for a long time, Jia Fu fell into a nightmare again. As soon as you fall asleep, you will dream about all kinds of past lives, wake up in a panic, and don't dare to go out alone on weekdays.

She had a feeling that Xiao Yintang's departure that day was not the end.

That moment may be the beginning of the nightmare of this life.

She was tormented by such a thought, and her heart was full of imitation and fear. She wanted to get rid of it, but she couldn't get rid of it, and no one could talk to her, even her mother who loved her the most.

Finally, today, more than two months later, her hidden worries have been proved, and it came so unexpectedly.

Xiao Yintang. He was the only person she could think of who would do this to her.

It's only him!

The carriage was moving forward in the turbulence, Jiafu resisted the feeling of nausea, and ordered herself to calm down. With all her strength, ten fingernails were deeply pinched into the palm of her hand, and she used pain to force herself to recover as soon as possible. consciousness.

The fear and anxiety that had been tormenting her for months suddenly vanished.

The worst thing, since the inevitable has happened, what is there to be afraid of now?

Find a way to face it.
