Chapter 437: Bad Bamboo Can't Produce Good Bamboo Shoots
"Mom, what does it say?"
Xu Laosan came closer.
Old Madam Xu handed the letter over and said, "Read it yourself!"
Xu Laosan took the letter, glanced at it, and frowned.
"Mom, someone is taking advantage of the situation!"
Without even thinking too much, Xu Laosan could tell whether the letter was authentic.
Perhaps others didn't know his little sister's methods, but Xu Lao San knew them all. Some of his little sister's methods were so powerful that even he would fall into their trap if he wasn't paying attention.
A few petty thieves kidnapped his little sister for ten thousand taels of silver. Who are they looking down on?
"You do it!"
Old Madam Xu looked at Old Third Xu and said, "I only care about the results!"
"Don't worry, mother!"
Xu Laosan was also very angry at this moment.
His little sister is missing, and someone actually wants to take advantage of the situation to rob her.
When the northern barbarians invaded the south, it was his younger sister who used her dowry to acquire 1,800 ox crossbows and brought more than 20,000 people from Xiangyi Prefecture to Huangfengkou.
In the Battle of Huangfengkou, his father, his eldest brother and his second brother all fought with their lives to protect the peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty.
He wanted to see who was so cruel as to confuse the public and take advantage of the situation at this time.
People like this don't deserve to live.
Xu Laosan, who has always been kind to others, also wants to kill someone.
Good people are often bullied!
Xu Laosan quickly prepared the silver bills, put them in a wooden box, sealed it with wax, and waited for dark.
…
As the sky grew darker, the carriage that Fubao was riding in arrived at Anshun County.
Not long after the carriage entered the city, Fubao skillfully boarded the last carriage to Sanhe Town.
As for the two brothers who were secretly following them, they could no longer ride in the carriage. They could only follow the carriage and run quickly in the woods on both sides of the official road.
However, the two brothers are quite lucky.
The carriage that Fubao was riding in was stopped as soon as it left the county town.
The one who stopped the carriage was Zhao Rui.
"Uncle Wu!"
Hearing Zhao Rui's shout outside, Fubao lifted the curtain of the carriage and waved at him.
"Ancestors!"
Zhao Rui was really excited when he saw Fubao waving his little hands.
If he didn't find Fubao, he felt that he might be eaten alive by his own master.
It’s not that Zhao Bingzhao wanted to vent his anger, but if Zhao Rui didn’t value the Yun family, Zhao Bingzhao would have let Mother Cai stay with Fubao.
Mother Cai is no ordinary character.
But because of Zhao Rui, Mother Cai did not stay with Fubao.
Just at this moment, something went wrong with Fubao.
There is nothing wrong with Zhao Bingzhao wanting to cause trouble for Zhao Rui.
"Xiao Fubao, quickly tell Uncle Wu what's going on?"
Zhao Rui stepped forward and took Fubao down from the carriage.
"Go home first. My mother and the others must be very worried. I'll tell you slowly when I get home!"
Fubao still knows how to prioritize.
Although she escaped danger this time when she was kidnapped, Fubao deeply understood a truth: she was really too weak!
Even if your backer comes back, you can't rely on him completely.
In the end, people have to be strong on their own to be truly strong.
"good!"
Zhao Rui immediately squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and the warhorse under him spread out its four hooves and began to gallop wildly.
The Zhao family guards who came with Zhao Rui guarded both sides, and the group quickly rushed towards Sanhe Town.
On the way, some people went back to Sanhe Town to pass on the message to Zhao Bingzhao, while the other group followed Zhao Rui straight to Lingshui Village.
…
When Fubao was carried by Zhao Rui onto the road leading to Lingshui Village, Xu Laosan also put the wooden box containing silver bills on the waterwheel.
The waterwheel turned slowly and fell into the Taohua River with the wooden box.
Xu Laosan seemed to have left, but in fact he was not far away. Instead, he was looking at the wooden box that fell into the Taohua River from afar.
Under the moonlight, the wooden box floating on the slowly flowing Taohua River is still very conspicuous.
Suddenly, the wooden box sank into the water.
Xu Laosan saw it very clearly.
On the surface of the river, there was a slowly moving reed.
This is because he was forced by his father and two brothers to practice martial arts. Otherwise, Xu Laosan's eyesight would not have allowed him to find this reed.
"How clever!"
Seeing the reed, Xu Laosan's face became colder, more chill, and more gloomy.
This guy has such a brain. He doesn't follow the right path, but instead takes advantage of others' misfortune. He is really courting death.
Xu Laosan did not take action immediately, but watched from a distance, watching the reed stalk move downstream.
Finally, the reed stem stopped at the reed marsh next to Yinghe Village.
A man slowly emerged from the water, holding the wooden box that Xu Laosan had placed on the waterwheel.
"Hehe, I deserve to be rich!"
In the moonlight, Xu Laosan saw the man's face clearly.
The moment he saw the man's face, Xu Laosan took a deep breath.
Sure enough, some people really don't deserve sympathy.
This person was actually Li Dawa.
The brainless elder brother of Li Tuo who once passed the imperial examination with Xu Laosan!
At first, in order to target the Yang clan in Anshun County, Zuo Qiu chose Li Tuo as his sniper. Then, Li Tuo's eating habits were so ugly that his eldest brother, Li Dawa, broke up with Li Tuo.
At that time, it was Xu Laoer who brought Li Dawa back.
Honest and solid!
This was the first impression Li Dawa gave to Xu Laosan at that time.
Even Mr. Xu felt that Li Dawa was a good candidate among the bad ones in Li Tuo's family, so he temporarily arranged for him to help out in the Xu family's restaurant.
This time when Fubao disappeared, everyone in Xu's restaurant went to help find him.
But who could have imagined that Li Dawa would actually do such a thing behind the scenes.
Looking at the smug Li Dawa, Xu Laosan did not jump out to catch him, but returned home quietly.
As a result, when Xu Laosan returned home, he found that Fubao had returned.
Old Mrs. Xu was holding Fubao and wiping her tears!
Before Xu Laosan could speak, Zhao Bingzhao walked in at the gate of Old Xu's house.
Zhao Bingzhao, who got the news, also rushed over at full speed.
Fubao then recounted what had happened to him.
"Are you talking about the big house in the northeast of Lingxia Village?"
When Old Mrs. Xu heard Fubao talk about where he was imprisoned, she shuddered.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Fubao looked at Old Mrs. Xu and blinked.
Old Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "That place, mother knows!"
"At that time, your father and I had just fled to Lingshui Village. Someone came to recruit workers and hired many people to build a large house there."
"But no one has ever lived there!"
“……?!”
After hearing what Old Lady Xu said, everyone present was stunned for a while.
A house was built, but no one lives in it. What's going on?
"It is said that the family who built the house capsized on the way to move here!"
"After that, the house was completely abandoned. People said it was a haunted house!"
I've been really busy these past few days, so there won't be many updates. Please forgive me, everyone. I'll try my best to restore my daily updates to 10,000 next week! So, please give me some recommendations!
