Chapter 3
After being busy with Daiyu in the morning, everyone started to have breakfast.Yan Li's breakfast was brought to his room alone, while Li Bo, Aunt Li and Qing'er ate around a table in the kitchen.During the meal, Uncle Li told Aunt Li and Qing'er what Yan Li had told him last night, and they suddenly understood.That's all for Aunt Li, but when Du Qing'er heard that Daiyu and the others were going to live here for a while, her complexion became uneasy, but she couldn't say anything in the presence of the other two, so she had to eat with her head down as if nothing happened.
Later, Aunt Li asked Qing'er to deliver food to Daiyu and Zijuan, but Qing'er shirked that she wanted to go to Yanli's place to clean up the dishes, and hurried away.Aunt Li had no choice but to bring over the nourishing porridge and rice specially prepared for Daiyu and Zijuan.
Seeing that Aunt Li brought the meal, Zijuan felt very sorry, and hurriedly stood up to greet her, saying: "Thank you, Aunt Li, I don't dare to work on Auntie anymore, Zijuan can serve it in the kitchen by herself."
Aunt Li said with a smile: "That's fine, I won't hurt my old arms and legs, and I'll make you laugh when I mess up the bowls and chopsticks and turn over the porridge."
Zijuan hurriedly said: "Where is it, Aunt Li is still very young!" After that, he hurriedly took the tray, thanked Aunt Li solemnly, and then served Daiyu to drink a few mouthfuls of porridge, and then put it down.Zicuckoo took her leftovers and used them hastily, and personally sent the dishes to the kitchen.
After breakfast, Yan Li came over to personally take care of Daiyu taking the medicine. Seeing that her complexion had improved slightly, Fang got up and said to everyone: "You guys take good care of Miss Lin at home, I have something urgent to go out, and I won't be back until after dinner , You close the door at home and don't let strangers in."
Everyone nodded one by one, Yan Li went back to the house and changed into blue clothes with a robe of the same color on the outside, got on the horse and whipped away.
Forty miles to the south of Fenglianzhuang, there is an unknown small village at the foot of a small mountain. At this time, Baoyu and others are resting in a house.Because Baochai was pregnant and bumped all the way, she couldn't help being tired for a long time, and fell asleep on the inside.Ying'er also laid a bunk on the ground floor with a tired face, and slept in the dark.
In the outer room, Jia Yun woke up after a short sleep and found that Baoyu was still leaning upright against the wall in a daze. She couldn't help but said distressedly: "Second Uncle, don't think about it anymore, let's take a rest, we have to continue on our way after dinner .”
Baoyu stared blankly ahead, neither looking at him nor answering, but the circles of his eyes turned red involuntarily, and then tears fell down like broken beads, which made Jia Yun feel very sad. uncomfortable.He got up and listened to the inside, and saw that the sound of sleeping was thick, so Fang leaned close to Baoyu's ear and whispered: "Second uncle, don't worry, I have already secretly stuffed the luggage of Miss Lin and Zijuan on Brother Yan's horse, as long as I have it in my hand With money, Miss Lin will definitely not suffer."
Baoyu's eyelids trembled, and a few crystal clear tears fell, before he choked up and said, "Yun'er, do you think... Will Yan Li change his mind? Especially when our family is about to face a catastrophe, if he comes together If there is any malice, I will give Sister Lin to... Wuwu, if something happens to Sister Lin, I will die..."
Seeing that he was about to cry again, Jia Yun hurriedly covered his mouth and advised, "Good second uncle, please calm down for a while, it would be bad if second aunt heard it. Besides, you worry too much. I can't guarantee it, this big brother Yan is a friend of Liu Xianglian, he is a person who has been walking in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and his character is absolutely reliable."
"But I'm still worried. After all, Sister Lin has a strong temper. She was left behind by me. I don't know what she's going to cry about. In case something gets stuck..."
"It'll be fine, isn't there Zicuckoo by my side? She won't do stupid things if she is worried about Zicuckoo. In addition, Brother Yan has long admired Miss Lin. I asked him to discuss this matter at the beginning. At that time, he swore to the sky that even if he risked his life, he would protect Miss Lin well, so what do you have to worry about after his words have come to this point?"
Hearing this, Baoyu wept more and more, covered his face with his sleeves and sobbed: "Men in the world are the most ruthless. Although he speaks nicely now, it is hard to guarantee that he will get bored after a long time. At that time, if he deliberately makes things difficult for her, who will protect her?" What about her?"
After hearing this, Jia Yun shook her head helplessly and said, "Second Uncle, you are the most unreasonable! According to what you say, no man in this world knows how to protect her and love her better than you? But what happened, Second Uncle Haven't you betrayed her? —Of course, nephew's words are a bit harsh, and the second uncle is afraid that he feels uncomfortable, but now the situation, nephew can't care much, I just ask you to steal more, first Save yourself, my second aunt, and the others, and worry about others!" After speaking, he lay down again and did not talk to Baoyu again.
Just as Jia Yun said, when Baoyu first heard his words, he felt really uncomfortable, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't refute it, so he put away his tears and lay down with his clothes on. He fell into a deep sleep.
Several people slept until the end of the day, and Fang got up one by one.The owner of the house brought in the prepared lunch. Regardless of seniority or inferiority, they gathered around a table and ate. Jia Yun cleaned up the mess and went out to feed the horses.
As soon as Jia Yun left, Baoyu asked Baochai with a guilty face, "My sister is pregnant, why has she been hiding it from me?"
Baochai angrily turned her head and sneered, "So what if I tell you? Is it possible that you can forget her? Anyway, I don't want to use this to hold you, everything is up to your heart."
Baoyu lowered his head and said for a long time: "I failed you, and I'm sorry for you. From now on... I mean, if we can escape this disaster in the future, I will treat you wholeheartedly."
Baochai turned back to look at him, and then sighed: "I don't want to mention the past, you forget it too, let's take care of the child in the future, teach him well, maybe he will be able to do it again." Let’s make a comeback, and by then, we will have a good life again, isn’t that great?” Baoyu just nodded after hearing this, but didn’t dare to look at her again.
Just as Baochai was about to ask him about his future plans, Jia Yun came in and said, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Brother Yan is here."
Baochai and Ying'er hurried back to the inner room, sat by the wall and listened, the footsteps were approaching, and the dusty Yan Li pushed the door in.As soon as he entered the door, Yan Li hastily cupped his hands and apologized, "Brother Bao, Brother Yun, brother, I hit harder last night, did I hurt you?"
Baoyu hurriedly said: "It's okay, brother Yan, don't take it to heart, we should thank you." After that, he hurriedly asked Daiyu how she is now, and whether she has any thoughts of despair and suicide because she left her behind .
Yan Li smiled and said: "Brother Bao, don't worry, Miss Lin is in a good mood, but the journey is too tiring, and I was still resting when I came."
After Baoyu heard this, although he was a little puzzled, he didn't want to ask any more questions. He just begged him to take good care of Daiyu, and Yan Li agreed one by one.
Jia Yun asked for any news from the capital, and Yan Li said: "When I came here, I asked someone to inquire about the place where there is a connection, and said that the case has been handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I am afraid that there will be a result soon. Let's start early tonight, so as not to delay the time and fear being chased by officers and soldiers." Jia Yun nodded hurriedly.
But Baoyu couldn't help crying and said: "The disaster is coming, I can't just run for my own life, but I don't care about my parents who gave birth to me and raised me, as well as the old lady and a few younger sisters. I want to go back to pick them up and run away together!"
"No!" Yan Li hastily persuaded, "When we planned this matter, we made it clear that we can only bring a few close relatives and family members who have nothing to do with this lawsuit. How many of you have managed to escape now? Well, how can there be any reason to go back and throw yourself into the net? Besides, your father and the court are all ordered by rank and order, once convicted, they can be recovered even if they flee to the ends of the world, so why waste your energy?"
After hearing this, Baoyu became more and more sad, and insisted on going back to pick them up, even if she went in again, it didn't matter.Jia Yun and Yan Li tried hard to persuade him, but seeing that there was really no other way, Yan Li had no choice but to agree to him: "So, I just need to find a few friends and a few friends of Brother Yun's to discuss it and go back for a trip. The rumors are getting more and more serious day by day, and I am really not sure that I will be able to pick it up. Of course, even if I pick it up, there is no guarantee of escape from the city, it depends on their luck." After that, I had to leave and make arrangements.
Baoyu hurriedly called him to stop, then turned around and went inside, and said to Baochai, "Bring a bag of silver, and let Brother Yan go and make some arrangements, and take some back to Sister Lin by the way."
When Baochai first heard that Yan Li was asked to go and make some arrangements, she readily agreed, but then she heard that she had to leave some for Daiyu, so her face was not very good-looking.But since Jia Yun and Yan Li were both outside, it was hard to say anything, so he weighed several bags of silver one by one, picked the lightest one and handed it to Baoyu.
Baoyu took it out, and stuffed it into Yan Li's hand without any explanation, and said, "You can take the silver taels for this idea, and if there is any surplus, take it back to Sister Lin. If it is not enough, I will make it up for you when I have a chance in the future."
Yan Li was originally a person who didn't care much about money, and since Daiyu had already been taken into his home, the future was still unknown, so he refused to accept it.In the end, it was Jia Yun who played around, took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into Yan Li's hand and said, "Brother Yan, we know that you are the most affectionate person, so we won't force you any more. As long as you accept this, we have the right to give us peace of mind." Let's go!" Yan Li had no choice but to take it, stuffed the money into his bosom, then cupped his hands at the two of them, said "Take care", then pushed open the door and strode away.
