Chapter 360 Caught Again
"I've been lying down for two days now. I'm almost exhausted."
At Xiao Jiuyue's strong request, she got up after lying down for two days and went out for some fresh air in the room.
"Miss, the wind is strong near the window, don't catch a cold." Lian Xin took the cloak and put it on her. When she came out with the hat, Xiao Jiuyue strongly rejected her: "I'm not in confinement after childbirth, I'm not cold anymore."
Xiao Jiuyue pulled the chair next to her and sat down. Looking out the window, the drizzle was still falling. There were mountains in the distance and low houses nearby.
"If I didn't know, I would have thought this wasn't a bandit stronghold." Xiao Jiuyue looked at the women washing clothes under the eaves, and the children working beside them.
"Miss, our hill is the worst. Most of the bandits here are in charge of logistics or doing some odd jobs. The real work is not done in our hill."
Lian Xin poured a cup of hot water and handed it to her, saying, "It's a good thing it's like this, otherwise, we wouldn't be as stable as we are now."
"Why is there no tea leaves?" Xiao Jiuyue frowned as she looked at the boiled water.
"Miss, you are still sick and taking medicine. Tea can neutralize the medicine. It is better to drink hot water." Lianxin explained with a smile and turned away, fearing that the young lady would be dissatisfied and would ask for more tea later.
"Strong tea is still better." Xiao Jiuyue took a sip. The taste of warm boiled water...
"Hey, where's Luokui?" Xiao Jiuyue sat for a while without hearing Luokui's voice. He felt a little uncomfortable without her chattering.
"Maybe she went to do the laundry?" Lian Xin said uncertainly. After making the bed, she asked, "Miss, are you looking for Luo Kui?"
"No, I'm just bored." Xiao Jiuyue sat by the window, watching the drizzle, her mind wandering. She smacked her lips and asked, "Lianxin, is there ginseng in my medicine? Why do I smell ginseng?"
"No, I saw Hua Qing take out the ginseng yesterday, but she hasn't used it yet." Lian Xin straightened Xiao Jiuyue's clothes and said, "Dong Gui was on guard last night. Fortunately, the young lady's fever subsided. When Hua Qing came back, she said that the young lady was in good health."
"Hua Qing, did you go picking herbs last night?" Xiao Jiuyue felt like she'd missed something. She turned around and looked at the herbs on the table, which were still stained with dew or rain. She asked, "I just have a high fever. Why did you go picking herbs in the rain?"
"I don't know. Later, Hua Qing said that it would be unnecessary after the fever subsided." Lian Xin glanced at the medicine on the table, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she comforted her, "Miss, we are relieved that your fever has subsided. Miss, please don't worry too much. The doctor said that you can't worry too much."
"Lianxin, when we get back, you and Ai Qiushi should get married." Xiao Jiuyue interrupted her. Compared with the chattering Luokui, Lianxin was like a worried mother who treated her like a child.
"Miss, if you don't get married, I won't get married either." Lianxin shook her head quickly.
Xiao Jiuyue's eyes lit up, and she looked at her and said, "So, how far have you and Ai Qiushi gone?" She looked at Lianxin with interest. Lianxin's face turned red as a monkey's butt. She lowered her head shyly and said, "Miss, we are innocent!"
"I didn't say you were not innocent. So it seems like you were holding hands?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at her red face and couldn't help but sigh: It's great to be young!
At this moment, Xiao Jiuyue completely forgot that she was only one year older than Lianxin.
"It was an accident, Miss. It was just an accident." Lian Xin was afraid that Xiao Jiuyue would continue asking questions, so she found an excuse and went out.
Xiao Jiuyue chuckled. She hoped that everyone around her would be happy. Ai Qiushi had a spirit of inquiry. He could always make the strange things she wanted to make. He was also very patient. She was just afraid...
Sometimes he was so engrossed that he would ignore Lianxin.
On second thought, Lianxin is different from Luokui. Luokui can't stay put, and I don't know what kind of person she wants to find?
Lianxin ran out of the room. A cool breeze blew from outside. She patted her hot face. The young lady just liked to tease them.
"Lianxin." As soon as Jin Wen saw Lianxin, he hurried over and said, "Oh no, Luokui has been captured."
"What?"
Lianxin looked at Jinwen in shock and lowered her voice, fearing to disturb Xiao Jiuyue who was recuperating.
"Just now, Luo Kui was washing clothes when the Second In Commander happened to come and deliver some clothes. He took a liking to Luo Kui and said he wanted to marry her and make her his wife." Jin Wen was anxious and angry, but he didn't dare to argue. The eldest daughter was sick, and if the Second In Commander found out...
Jin Wen didn't even dare to think about it. He glanced at Xiao Jiuyue in the room and said, "Should we tell the young lady about this?"
"I can't tell you." Lian Xin shook her head and said, "The young lady finally recovered from her fever. If she knew that Luo Kui was arrested, how could she still recover properly? So, I'll go find someone."
"Okay, Miss Lianxin, hurry up. I have asked Yu Ge to follow quietly, and Zhao Sheng also followed." Jin Wen said in a low voice.
Lianxin quickly found Shang Yifan. Since Shang Yifan and the others had witnessed this, she naturally had to ask about the situation first.
"Sister Yue, are you feeling better?"
"How about the sunflower?"
Shang Yifan and Lian Xin asked in unison. Lian Xin said quickly, "The young lady is fine for now, but the doctor said we shouldn't stress ourselves. Can we rescue Luo Kui by ourselves?"
"We've already sent Zhao Sheng along, along with our informant, Yu Ge. Miss Luo Kui is safe for now, but that may not be the case once dark."
Shang Yifan expressed his concerns and said, "I just went to ask around. There are many people who were captured like Luo Kui. They all drank and ate meat at night and had their wedding nights at night!"
"So, we have to rescue Luo Kui before tonight." Lian Xin's eyes turned slightly, and she said, "If there is any news from Luo Kui, please tell me as soon as possible."
Lianxin quietly went to the small house next door. Huaqing and Donggui were both asleep. As soon as she entered the room, Donggui woke up and sat up, "Miss, is there something wrong?"
Donggui was lying in bed with her clothes on, but now she got up and ran towards Xiao Jiuyue.
Lian Xin pulled the person back and said, "Something happened to Luo Kui. She was captured by the Second In Commander. I'm worried about the young lady's health and haven't told her yet. Can we save Luo Kui ourselves?"
"No problem." Dong Gui said, looking at Hua Qing who had stood up beside him, "You stay with the young lady, I'll go rescue her."
"No, I'll go save her. With your skills, you can beat people, but not save people." Hua Qing came back from collecting herbs yesterday. After making sure Xiao Jiuyue was safe, she went back to her room to sleep. She lay on the bed and fell asleep. It was already noon and she woke up. She said, "You stay here to protect the young lady, I'll go save her!"
