Chapter 156: The Farmer's Spiritual Spring Has a Field
Su Zhi's eyes widened as she watched Shen Zian's light movements, thinking that her husband was really capable. She had always thought that he was just strong and good at archery, but now she saw that he was also very skilled, climbing the wall so skillfully. This could be called Qinggong!
Su Zhi thought that she still didn't have a comprehensive understanding of her husband. It turned out that although her husband was a farmer, he was also a farmer with both literary and martial talents!
Shen Zian looked inside the yard, then jumped down lightly and walked out with Su Zhi in his hand.
Su Zhi didn't ask anything and hurriedly followed Shen Zian outside. The two of them walked quickly to the outside of the alley, and only when they saw people coming and going did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"Zi'an, what did you see? Isn't it a kidnapper?"
Su Zhi asked, she still hoped that she was wrong, it was better for the world to be peaceful. She and Shen Zian did not want to be heroes, so naturally they hoped that things were not as she thought.
Shen Zian frowned slightly and said, "You're not mistaken, it's a kidnapper."
Su Zhi exclaimed, thinking that good things were about to happen, and then bad things happened. She asked, "What did you see? How can you be sure that it was a kidnapper? Tell me."
"There were two men standing in the yard. One of them was probably the man you just saw. He was wearing earth-colored coarse cloth. He had a little boy in his hands. The boy was wearing blue silk clothes. The boy was making a noise, and he was covering the baby's mouth with his hand. I saw a woman covering the baby's nose with a piece of cloth, and then the boy stopped moving. They carried him into the house. When they opened the door, I saw that there seemed to be other children inside."
Shen Zian said with a frown, his fists clenched tightly. He hated this kind of thing very much. Whose child is not loved as a treasure, but was abducted like this? I wonder how many parents are heartbroken because of this!
Su Zhi also frowned and said, "These kidnappers are so hateful. They kidnapped more than one person! Zi'an, what should we do? Let's report it to the police!"
Su Zhi had no children in her previous life due to physical reasons, and she loved children very much, thinking that they were treasures given by God. Now, seeing these treasures being taken away from their parents, she felt sad, thinking that she wanted them but couldn't, while the parents of these children had them but were stolen away. They must be in even greater pain, these children will also fall from the sky to the ground, even if they were pearls before, they will be trampled into mud in the future!
Shen Zian said: "This is the town, there are no soldiers. When we find the soldiers [Wangshu Pavilion], we don't know whether these kids will be taken away. After all, it's still early today. And this kid was kidnapped here. If they take him away soon, we won't be able to find him."
Su Zhi thought that this was the case. The family who lost their child must have discovered the incident and were looking for the child everywhere. These kidnappers would definitely run away overnight. If they went to look for the soldiers now, they might make mistakes.
"The village has a headman, and this town needs someone to take care of it. Let's find the person in charge!"
Su Zhi told Shen Zian that she didn't know who was the most powerful official in the town, so she could only ask Shen Zian. She thought that if something happened in the village, the head of the village would call a group of strong men to go out, and it must be the same in this town. When the time comes, a group of men will come to the door, and they will not be much worse than those people in the county government!
Shen Zian said: "Go find a rich man. He is the head of the village in this town, and he has many servants at home. He doesn't need to call anyone else. His family members will do!"
Su Zhi heard that they had to go to the rich man's house after all the detours, but now they had no choice but to go there. She looked at the alley and said, "Zi'an, if we all leave, what will happen to these people? We have to leave one person to guard here, and one person to deliver the letter. Otherwise, you can run faster, so you go and deliver the letter, and I'll guard here!"
"You go and deliver the letter, I'll stay here."
Shen Zian said firmly, how could he leave his wife in such a dangerous place?
"You go and deliver the letter. If these people leave, I can still follow them or delay them for a while, but you can't do these things. Listen to me and go quickly. I don't think they can leave for a while."
Su Zhi knew that Shen Zian was right, but she still didn't want to keep him. No matter how capable he was, she was still worried about her. At this moment, she suddenly thought selfishly, if she hadn't looked into the alley just now, would she be fine now? This thought only flashed through her mind, and she slapped it away. She told Shen Zian to be careful, and then ran away.
Su Zhi hoped to meet a young man from the same village on the way, so that she could tell him about this and let him deliver the letter or go to find Shen Zian, but she didn't meet anyone from the same village on the way. Although there were many people around, she couldn't find him. This kind of thing was only seen by him and Shen Zian. If they told it, it would cause panic. The most important thing is, it would be bad if those kidnappers heard it. Who knows how many kidnappers there are among those people who watch the lanterns? !
Su Zhi had only been to Mr. Qian's house once. She only knew that the Qian family lived in the east of the town. Shen Zian and Su Zhi accompanied Li Shi to sell persimmons and stood outside the door. It was dark now. Although there were lanterns all around, because of these lanterns, she felt that everywhere was the same. It was really hard to find. She asked many people and finally found the door of Mr. Qian's house [Wangshu Pavilion].
On the day of the Lantern Festival, there were huge lanterns hung outside the Qian family's house, as well as many small lanterns, and many horse-drawn carriages parked in front of the door. It turned out that the Qian family was entertaining guests today, and many people from the town and the county came here to be guests.
Su Zhi ran to the front door. She did not lose her mind and run in without saying hello. Although she was not dressed too badly, the front door of this wealthy family was not open to anyone who wanted to enter. The two servants in front of the gate were not just for show. Su Zhi combed her hair, straightened her clothes, and walked onto the steps.
"Two young men, please inform Master Qian Guang that the sister-in-law of the fifth master of the Shen family is outside seeking to see him. If you can't find Master Qian, please find Miss Biao and tell her that her benefactor's wife is outside for something important. Please go in and inform her quickly. Thank you very much."
As Su Zhi spoke, she took out the copper coins she had just prepared and gave ten cents to each of them.
The two gatekeepers saw that Su Zhi had beautiful eyebrows and eyes and was well-dressed, and wondered whose daughter-in-law she was. When they heard her mention their own master and cousin, and heard her say that she was the sister-in-law of Mr. Shen Wu and the daughter-in-law of the cousin's benefactor, they did not dare to treat her disrespectfully. When they saw that there was a reward, they immediately smiled and asked her to wait, and then ran in to report.
After a while, a maid came out with the servant.
The maid bowed to Su Zhi and said, "Madam, please follow me."
When Su Zhi heard this, she immediately asked the maid to take her to see Mr. Qian. She thought that even if she couldn't meet Mr. Qian, she could still let him convey her message, which would be considered as delivering the message.
"Fourth sister-in-law, you didn't come when I asked you to just now, so why are you here now? Do you think that lantern show is no longer interesting?"
Shen Zhu saw Su Zhi coming in and said to her with a smile, which sounded a bit sarcastic, but Su Zhi didn't have time to pay attention to her. She glanced around and saw that this was a flower hall with quite a few people sitting there, but they were all young men and women. It seemed that this was a gathering of some young people.
"Mr. Qian, I have something to tell you. Please come over here. You still need to report this matter to your father."
Su Zhi ran straight to Qian Guang and started talking. She thought Qian Dahu was not here, so she had to talk to him first. She was thinking about Shen Zian in her heart and was extremely anxious. She kept a stern face to avoid showing her anxiety.
Qian Guang looked at Su Zhi. As soon as Su Zhi came in, his eyes fell on Su Zhi. He had noticed Su Zhi at the lantern festival just now, but at that time he just thought that she was a country woman who was not too rustic and it was a bit aggrieved for her to marry such a farmer. Just now, she came to him so hurriedly, her movements were like the wind, her short cloak flew up with her posture, her hair also flew up, her figure was like a slender willow, her face was like a spring flower, her clear eyes sparkled like a pool of spring water, but because of the anxiety in her eyes, he seemed to see a fire in them, and he was a little dazed when he saw her. It was not until Su Zhi came to him and said this that he came to his senses.
"Sister Shen, if you have any questions, please tell me. I will definitely help if I can."
Qian Guang said this very sincerely. He thought to himself that this was actually a beauty. If the beauty wanted something, he would definitely help her.
Shen Zhu saw that Su Zhi ignored her words and ran straight to Qian Guang, feeling unhappy. Then she saw Qian Guang's eyes shining when he looked at Su Zhi. She had been paying attention to Qian Guang and liked him in her heart, so she naturally understood what Qian Guang's eyes meant. If she had a scroll in her hand, she would have wanted to tear it up at that moment.
Shen Zhu thought that Su Zhi was trying to seduce the man to come to her!
"Sister-in-law, where's Brother Four? Why did you come alone? Did you get separated from Brother Four again? It was really easy for you to get separated from Brother Four today."
Shen Zhu spoke in a caring tone, but the words sounded awkward.
The way the people present looked at Su Zhi changed slightly because of Shen Zhu's words.
Su Zhi glanced at Shen Zhu and thought, this damn girl, she doesn't have time to take care of her now, she will teach her a lesson later, what a worrying person!
