Red plums reflect youth

Ziqing held Wan'er in his arms, patted his little head tenderly, and asked, "Wan'er, tell brother, what's wrong with you?"

Wan'er was sobbing, wiping her red and swollen eyes with her hands, and said intermittently: "Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Constantly punishing Wan'er, Wan'er didn't do anything wrong... Huh...It hurts, it hurts...Wan'er just escaped secretly today...Wan'er will never go back..."

Ziqing nodded and comforted Wan'er: "Okay, okay, I won't go back. Let my brother see your injuries, okay?"

Wan'er nodded with a sob, and let Ziqing take off her dress.

After seeing the scars on Wan'er's thin body, Ziqing felt a pang of pain in her heart.That beast Zhang Nansu didn't even let his own son go.The dense bruises on her body were pinched, beaten, and kissed...bited...and then look at Wan'er's lower body...God!My worries are all true!Damn!asshole!brute!It's not as good as a beast!

Ziqing tried her best to control her body that was trembling with fright and anger, and comforted Wan'er, saying, "Brother, I will apply some medicine for you right now. Be good, don't be afraid, the pain will be gone soon." After getting the good medicine, I asked the old lady in Qingcheng Pavilion to ask for a set of clean clothes for his grandson for Wan'er to change into.

After finishing cleaning up, Ziqing sat on the edge of the bed with her arms around Wan'er, stroking his back gently.Wan'er was still crying like a tearful person in Ziqing's arms, sobbing: "Before, Daddy never did this, and only occasionally punished Wan'er. But these days, Daddy has become so scary, woo woo .”

It turned out that the punishment Wan'er had been talking about turned out to be such a thing, Ziqing couldn't help but smiled wryly, he was only a nine-year-old child, and he was ruined by his favorite father.

Wiping away the tears rolling down Wan'er's face with a handkerchief, Ziqing said softly, "It's okay, brother will protect you."

Wan'er nodded in Ziqing's arms, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yeah, brother, I know you are the best. Go and tell Daddy not to punish Wan'er anymore, and tell him that Wan'er will be good, okay?" ?”

Listening to Wan'er's childish request, Ziqing sighed bitterly in his heart, he really is a child who doesn't know the world.But he didn't dare to kill his little hope, so he could only reply: "Okay! Brother will go to your father tomorrow, so that he won't punish you anymore, and you will stay here today to recuperate well, do you know?"

Wan'er nodded obediently, and cried all afternoon. At this moment, she was tired from crying, tiredness struck, and the sound of crying gradually stopped, with her head in Ziqing's arms, sleepy.

Ziqing gently put Wan'er on the bed and covered him with a quilt.Looking at his tear-stained face, I couldn't stop feeling sour.The three of us are really ill-fated... Sigh, mother, you will feel distressed when you see it in the sky.

……

At night, when Liu Qiaoyang came to Ziqing's hut as usual, she was surprised to find that Wan'er was sleeping where she was supposed to lie, and Ziqing was lying beside her and gently patted Wan'er's body.

Seeing Qiao Yang coming in, Ziqing got off the bed lightly, and explained the whole story to Liu Qiaoyang who was full of doubts in a low voice.

"What! You mean..." Qiao Yang almost cried out as he listened.Ziqing quickly covered his mouth to prevent him from waking Wan'er.He nodded helplessly, then sighed and shook his head.

"Fortunately, Inspector Yan will go to the Zhang Manor to investigate Zhang Nansu early tomorrow morning. That beast is not far from death!" Qiao Yang said angrily.

This time it was Ziqing's turn to be surprised: "Inspector Yan investigated Zhang Nansu? What's going on?"

"Do you still remember the batch of luggage that disappeared from the imperial court? Zhang Nansu is the chief culprit, and now those luggage are staying in his cemetery!"

"It turned out to be him!"

Liu Qiaoyang sneered: "Hmph! How many injustices have been done by a man with a human face and a beast's heart! Fortunately, the French Open has been restored, and there are no omissions!"

Ziqing frowned even more when he heard the words, and looked at Wan'er who was sleeping soundly: Compared with being punished by his father, the pain of losing his father would be more unbearable for him...

Qiao Yang saw Ziqing's worry, and chuckled lightly: "It's okay, and we love him, he will be fine."

"Hmm..." Ziqing felt much relieved when she heard the words. Instead of letting Wan'er grow up in a false dream, it is better to let him face the real life, and she will love him well and make up for his lack.

Looking up at Qiao Yang: "Go home first tonight, I'll just take care of Wan'er."

Liu Qiaoyang put his arm around Ziqing's waist, and put his face in front of Ziqing: "Okay, I'll go home and sleep obediently tonight. Now, give me a kiss as compensation."

Ziqing blushed and stared at Qiao Yang reproachfully. At a time like this, she was still making trouble... but Qiao Yang looked at him with longing eyes, so she could only turn her head to look at Wan'er on the bed in embarrassment. Wanted to make sure he wasn't woken up first.

Before Ziqing could turn his head back, Qiao Yang had already pecked his soft lips gently, wanting to kiss him deeper.Ziqing was caught off guard, and struggled away: "Don't...don't be in front of the children." Qiao Sheng's shadow was in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Qiao Yang sighed unsatisfactorily: "Okay." After finishing speaking, he smiled evilly: "You can't escape anyway." When he turned to leave, he accidentally knocked off Wan'er's dress by the bed and his small purse .

Liu Qiaoyang bent down to pick it up, and couldn't help smiling when holding the small purse.He remembered that Wan'er poured out two pennies from here to buy his treasure from Linglongzhai, and at the end of the day, he got back one penny.

At this time, the little purse was bulging, and I didn't know what it contained.Liu Qiaoyang opened it curiously, but what was inside made him feel ominous.

Why does Wan'er have amethyst?These days, Linglongzhai only sells processed hand jewelry bead chains, and has never sold any amethysts alone.Besides, he didn't remember what Zhang Nansu had bought in Linglongzhai.

This... Did Luo Rujing give the amethyst to someone else?Not right?I have never heard of any shop selling this amethyst.

"What's the matter?" Ziqing couldn't help but wondered when she found Qiao Yang holding Wan'er's small purse in a daze.

"It's nothing." Liu Qiaoyang squeezed the amethyst secretly, put the purse back where it was, and said to Ziqing, "I'm going home first, and you should go to bed early." Then she left the hut in a hurry and decided to find Luo Rujing Ask to understand.

After sending Qiao Yang away, Ziqing curled up under the quilt, embraced Wan'er's warm little body, and fell asleep gently.He secretly made up his mind: no matter what, Wan'er should not be hurt again.

Just as he was about to fall asleep in a daze, he suddenly heard a "bang", and the door was kicked open!

There was also a hoarse and cruel shout: "Hand over Wan'er to me!"

Ziqing and Wan'er woke up at the same time, looking at the person who came, it was Zhang Nansu with a fierce face and hoarse voice.

"Wan'er! You are indeed here! Go back with Daddy." Zhang Nansu rushed over quickly, lifted the quilt violently, and dragged Wan'er out of bed.

Wan'er panicked and grabbed Ziqing's hand, crying, "I'm not going back! When I go back, my father will punish Wan'er again! Woooo...brother."

Ziqing hurriedly got out of bed, held Wan'er in her arms, and glared at Zhang Nansu sharply, "I won't hand Wan'er over to you, a man with a face like a beast!"

But he was kicked away by the maddened Zhang Nansu.His forehead hit the corner of the bed with a "bang", and blood flowed out!

"It's not up to you, an outsider, to talk about our Zhang family's affairs! Don't think that you can snatch my Wan'er away after playing with Wan'er secretly for an afternoon!" Zhang Nansu spat viciously, abruptly The crying Wan'er was dragged out of the Qingcheng Pavilion and drove away.

"No!" Regardless of the pain on his head, Ziqing struggled to get up, wanted to chase, but was a step too late.

At this time, some musicians and dancers in the Qingcheng Pavilion were awakened by the sudden noise in the middle of the night, and they all came out to see what happened.

Seeing Ziqing's bleeding head, Mingyan hurried over to inquire.

"Mingyan! Horse, hurry up! Let's ride to Zhang Nansu's mansion!" Ziqing begged hurriedly.

Mingyan nodded, although she didn't know why, but she knew the situation was urgent, so she hurriedly led the horse that was raised nearby, and galloped towards Zhang Nansu's mansion together with Ziqing.

The two rushed to the front of Zhang Nansu Mansion on Dexin Street.

However, the moon and stars are scarce in the sky, and Zhang Nansu's mansion has a strange tranquility.

Ziqing got off her horse and knocked on the door knocker!But no matter how hard he buckled it, no one came to open the door, not even...not even a single movement.

Mingyan looked around calmly, and found a mulberry tree growing beside the courtyard of Zhang Nansu's mansion, so she jumped up, climbed over the courtyard wall, and opened the door from the inside, allowing Ziqing to enter the courtyard.

Ziqing was about to run to find Wan'er's whereabouts, but was suddenly grabbed by Mingyan.

"Ziqing! Wait!" Mingyan looked at the bluestone ground in the courtyard, the trickling oily light glowed strangely under the moonlight: "Why does the ground smell of clear oil?"

At this moment...

Suddenly there was a loud "boom", and Zhang Nansu's back house was instantly engulfed in flames.The extreme eye is billowing smoke and dazzling glare.

The fire hadn't reached the front yard yet, but the heat wave was already coming.

"Wan'er!" Ziqing yelled hoarsely, and was about to rush into the fire.Mingyan hugged Ziqing tightly, not letting him break free, and said loudly, "Ziqing! This place is too dangerous! Get out of here quickly! The fire is going to spread here soon."

As he spoke, he dragged Ziqing to a safe place.Ziqing was dragged and walked backward step by step, while desperately reaching out to Liantian Lihuo, as if trying to grab something, but couldn't.

Only when Mingyan confirmed that the two of them were in a safe place did she let go of Ziqing.As soon as he let go, Ziqing slipped and fell to the ground...it turns out...he had already exhausted all his strength, he couldn't even cry, only tears bursting down the bank...
