Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 43 Encounter on a narrow road (1)

The lower room was deserted, and not even the quilt was spread out on Grandma Sun's bed, so it was obvious that she had not returned yet.

Su Ya only felt her scalp numb. Could it be that she was too cautious and acted too much, delaying the opportunity and arriving a step too late?

She held down her suddenly rapid heartbeat, lit the fire, and took a closer look at this extremely familiar lower room: the clothes in the cabinet were neatly stacked, Grandma Sun's favorite preserved melons were hanging under the south window, and there was half a pot of tea on the table. Paired with a teacup with some remaining tea at the bottom, it was as normal as every day.

——This is not the look of someone who has been planning for a long time and left calmly. Po Sun must have encountered some changes!

Su Ya turned around and went straight to Huai Yuexuan. Grandma Sun had not returned all night, but Zhou Zhai was so calm. If she said that this matter had nothing to do with Shen Huai, she would not believe it to her death.

She first searched around the Huaiyue Pavilion and found no trace of the person being detained. Then she went straight to the main room and used a copper wire to hook and lift it in the crack of the window. With a soft sound, she ducked in. .

There is a lamp like a bean in the inner room, and the aroma of sobering up hangs in the air. A purple sand pot is wrapped in a thick cotton cover on the bedside table, which seems to be still warm with tea. The bed curtain is hung high, and Shen Huai is lying in his clothes, looking like he is still awake from the wine. , the appearance of resting at will.

Su Ya suddenly hesitated.

She had been with Shen Huai's master and servant since she left Qingfeng Tower. She knew how much alcohol Shen Huai and Liu drank at three o'clock. The heavy smell of alcohol in the carriage on the way back made her run out halfway and sit outside the carriage. Half way.

Her home is very close to Zhou's house, and no fighting was heard in Zhou's house afterwards...

All these thoughts lasted only a moment, Su Ya was just distracted, and Shen Huai on the bed had already opened his eyes.

His eyes seemed confused for a moment, then he narrowed his eyes slightly, sat up slowly, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said: "Why, you broke in in the middle of the night, do you want to relive the old dream on Liang Shang?"

Shen Huai's voice was slightly hoarse, and Su Ya had always felt that it had a bit of a bewitching quality to it. Maybe it was even more seductive now that he was teasing her drunkenly?

But Su Ya was so anxious at the moment that she didn't even think about being shy and didn't answer the question at all: "Where is Grandma Sun?"

"Oh, it's because of this," Shen Huai said casually: "I also want to ask you tomorrow: Where did Grandma Sun go?"

"Didn't you do it?" Su Ya asked suspiciously: "If it weren't for you, why would Zhou Zhai be so quiet?"

"Is Grandma Sun a servant of my Zhou family?" Shen Huai raised his eyebrows and sneered, "I wanted to check her carefully, but I didn't expect that she acted according to the situation and ran very fast. If you are curious, follow Lao Zhou to the Yamen tomorrow. Report to the officer and see if the Yamen can find any news about her."

It's really not him.

Su Ya stood there and hesitated for a moment, then scrawled: "Okay." Then she turned around and ran away.

Shen Huai was left looking at the swaying door with deep eyes.

Su Ya stood on the wall of Zhou's house, looking around in silence and darkness, except for the dim glow of street lights on the main street in the distance.

She was at a loss when she suddenly saw a faint light at the entrance of Xiuyi Alley, one bright, one dark, one bright, one dark, and then moved in the flicker, which instantly soothed her anxiety.

Su Ya cautiously looked back at Zhou Zhai again, and after confirming that no one was following her, she jumped up from the wall and headed straight for the spark.

We followed all the way to the Chenghuang Temple.

The person with the sparkling fire turned around, and it turned out to be Sun Po.

Maybe not entirely.

Sun Po was wearing a man's Taoist robe, her hair in a man's bun, and a square scarf. Her old face, which had always been delicate and delicate, was actually somewhat elegant and indistinguishable from male to female.

"Mother-in-law," Su Ya asked with concern, "What happened? Why are you here?"

"Hmph," Grandma Sun's face darkened, "What else could happen? That Zhou Huai is so cunning and vicious, how can I still stay in Zhou's house?"

"Those official servants during the day...?" Su Ya asked tentatively.

"Don't worry about those things. I will teach you martial arts here when I am not in Zhou's house." Sun Po pointed her hand to the altar table and said: "If you can come, the gold fruit will be on the left, and the silver fruit on the right.

If something unexpected happens, the opposite will happen, do you understand?"

The high silver plate on which tributes are placed on the table has a row of patterns on the base, which are small and complicated. Half of them are decorated with gold fruits and the other half are decorated with silver fruits. It is easy to miss it if you don't look carefully.

"I understand." Su Ya said honestly, and then asked: "Then what if I come to see you temporarily? Where should I go?"

"It's still here," Sun Po pointed at the statue of the City God, "If there is an emergency, pull out the left side of the cloak."

Su Ya always worked seriously, so she walked over and pulled the red cloak behind the statue and asked, "Is that so?"

As soon as Sun Po nodded, a high-five suddenly sounded, which was particularly harsh in the night.

"Wonderful! I have learned such meticulous ingenuity."

Outside the dark door, a fragrant figure came slowly, clapped his hands carelessly along the way, and gradually walked into the light and shadow of the lights.

But who is it if it’s not Shen Huai?

He smiled and said to Sun Po: "You are a naughty slave. You just left without saying goodbye, and you went to the City God's Temple to offend the gods. Are you impatient with life?"

Su Ya's hair stood on end, why did this person appear here?

Before she could ask any questions, Sun Po was already fighting with Gao Jun who came with Shen Huai.

Su Ya stepped forward and was about to join the battle when Shen Huai said coldly from one side: "I advise you not to act rashly."

"If you don't move, I might still think that you are being seduced by her," he said, "If you dare to move, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Su Ya raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you threatening me?"

Shen Huai sneered, "You're very brave..."

While he was talking, the winner had already been decided over there. Gao Jun's force was astonishing. He knocked Sun Po down with one palm and threw her to the seat of the city god. He barely managed to hold on to the red cloak to stand still.

Su Ya screamed, rushed to stop in front of Grandma Sun, and said nervously: "Grandma, are you okay?"

"Zhou Huai, I ask myself, I have never provoked you, but why do you insist on killing everyone?" Sun Po wiped the blood that overflowed from her mouth, and her sharp voice became more like metal hitting each other, "Although I am staying in Zhou's house,

But it hasn’t done you any harm at all, so why bother making an enemy out of us?”

"Oh? It's not an enemy or an enemy, but a master and a servant?" Shen Huai smiled coldly and asked, "Are you Sun Po? Where is the real Sun Po?"

"...I have no choice but to do it," Sun Po was silent for a moment and said, "Things have changed, not to mention your current situation, why do you need to make enemies?"

"Then don't worry about it. If you are worthy of being my enemy, just escape tonight."

Shen Huai flicked his sleeves and said to Gao Jun, "Catch him. If you can't catch him, kill him."

"But... yes!" Gao Jun swallowed his words and went straight to Sun Po and Su Ya.

But Sun Po pushed Su Ya hard from behind: "Run!"

Then he raised his hand and a thick mist spread out.

Shen Huai and Gao Jun were caught off guard and retreated sharply.

Su Ya didn't hesitate, and took advantage of the thick fog, one to the left, the other to the right, and went their separate ways.
