Chapter 140 is dangerous
Lin Ye was in a good mood because she could continue working in the embroidery workshop.
I was so happy that I decided to buy a big meat bun to eat today.
Although Lu Qingqing told her to eat well last time, she still couldn't bring herself to buy any big meat buns.
She also wanted to save money quickly to renovate the house so that her brother could marry his wife as soon as possible!
Lin Ye heard that the steamed bun stall in the southwest corner of the market sold the best buns, so she went there and bought one.
It was indeed delicious, with soft noodles, but there wasn't much meat.
She finished eating it in just a few bites on the way.
One steamed bun wasn't enough to fill her stomach, so she went back and ate some more vegetable steamed buns made by the cook, and that would be fine.
Seeing a vendor selling straw hats, she bought a new one.
The one Lin Zhuang wore was so worn out and tattered from the sun that it no longer provided any shade.
As she passed a corner, she suddenly saw a familiar face.
They do seem familiar, even though we've only met once.
It was that girl who used to go shopping with Lu Yun.
She remembered it clearly and went back to look at herself in the mirror, wanting to see how much worse she was than others.
She is indeed inferior.
She doesn't have as big eyes, as good a figure, or as bright a smile as others.
Lin Ye felt a pang of sadness.
His gaze remained fixed on Tian Miaomiao's retreating figure.
I watched her disappear into an alley and into a dilapidated, abandoned courtyard.
What is she going there for?
Moreover, their behavior was very furtive.
Lin Ye bit her lower lip, but still followed.
From the abandoned courtyard, the hushed voices of a man and a woman could be heard.
Woman: "Feng Xiaoyong doesn't know the recipe at all, and Lu Feng is a blockhead. He doesn't even talk to anyone and only knows how to work! I've been there a few times and I doubt he would even recognize me."
"If I don't look for Lu Yun, who else should I look for?"
Man: "I think you've got your eye on Lu Yun! That guy's better looking than me, huh?"
"No, I didn't, Mr. Liu. I just wanted to get his family's recipe."
"You'd better not have it!" the man said viciously and wickedly.
I don't know what he did to the woman, but it made her scream in pain.
"I'll give you five more days. If you still can't get anything out of me, get back to your brothel!"
"Mr. Liu...I...I need your help..."
The woman said tremblingly, "Lu Yun has a woman by his side. If you ruin her, I'll have a chance..."
"It's that one wearing the light green top, she's very pretty..."
"Beautiful? Hehe, beautiful is good... Too bad, I don't dare, my brother-in-law, that old bastard, would beat me to death!"
"However, Master Bai is looking for something new lately..."
Lin Ye looked on in horror as she peered through the crack in the door.
It really was that girl!
The man was in his twenties... with a lewd face; he looked like a scoundrel!
They actually...
Lin Ye took off running.
The commotion outside alerted the two people inside.
Mr. Liu hurriedly ran out, only to see a wisp of black hair flying around the corner.
It's a woman.
There is nothing to fear.
Lin Ye ran towards the general store; she had to tell Lu Feng as soon as possible.
The woman those two were talking about beside Lu Yun is most likely Qingqing!
She rushed into the general store, her head covered in sweat, not knowing when the straw hat she had bought had disappeared.
"Brother Lu!"
"Quick, quick! Someone's trying to harm Qingqing!"
Lu Qingqing, Lu Yun, and Feng Xiaoyong were in town, but no one knew where they had gone.
Lu Feng threw down his knife and, after listening to what Lin Ye said, the two of them hurried off to look for it.
Lu Feng ran fast and found Lu Yun and Feng Xiaoyong first. The two guys were having their horses' iron palms repaired at the blacksmith's shop.
"Where's my little sister?"
"He said he was going to buy some household items for women."
Lu Feng was furious: "Why didn't you come along!"
He went along?
He even followed me when I bought a bellyband?
Don't let the little sister blow your head off!
"Go find her quickly! Someone's trying to harm my little sister!"
!! !! !!
The town may not look big, but it's not easy to find someone, especially today when there's a big market day and lots of people.
Lin Ye was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
He stomped his feet in front of a pub.
"Green—Green—"
Looking for me?
Lu Qingqing came out of the tavern carrying a jar of wine.
Recently, Old Man Lu has been having trouble sleeping, so she's going to make him some jujube and longan wine.
"Qingqing..."
Before Lin Ye could show any surprise, she saw that person.
They've come looking for us!
They saw Qingqing!
There were... six men in total.
Moreover, they were very arrogant, and many people were afraid and avoided them.
Even after someone was kicked over, no one dared to step forward and say a word.
This is clearly a bully!
"It's that woman in the green dress."
Tian Miaomiao pointed at the men.
"Go catch it quickly!"
...
"Qingqing! Come with me!"
Lin Ye pulled Lu Qingqing into a clothing store next door.
"Qingqing, my clothes are dirty. Young Master Wan went to inspect the shop today. He is very particular about his appearance, and I'm afraid he'll scold me. Why don't you switch with me?"
"Uh, okay."
Seeing that she was sweating profusely from anxiety, Lu Qingqing quickly took off her clothes.
Lin Ye switched places with her, ran off without saying a word, and only turned back at the door, silently saying two words to Lu Qingqing.
"Call for help."
Lu Qingqing's eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly chased after him.
Lin Ye had already run far away.
But several men were chasing closely behind her!
She suddenly understood.
"Call for help! Call for help..."
This time it was Lu Qingqing's turn to stomp her feet.
They were even more anxious than if they themselves were in danger.
Fortunately, she soon found a lifeline.
"Xu Rui! Xu Rui!"
Lu Qingqing didn't know why Xu Rui was there, but she was extremely grateful.
"Qingqing—"
Xu Rui dismounted, his steps somewhat unsteady, almost charging forward.
His hands involuntarily landed on Lu Qingqing's shoulders.
"You're alright..."
Xu Rui did not come alone; behind him were several yamen runners, as well as Fu Leng, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Fu Leng's eyes widened as if he had been greatly shocked.
He was stunned by what he saw.
Lu Qingqing's eyes reddened with anxiety: "Go after them! Over there, over there! Lin Ye is in danger!"
"good!"
Xu Rui turned around: "Everyone, hurry up and go find someone!"
"Yes, young master!"
Xu Rui restrained himself and withdrew his hands, then saw Wan Yuting looking in this direction from a distance through the sparse figures.
He mounted his horse and reached out to Lu Qingqing: "Get on the horse, let's go find it too."
Without hesitation, Lu Qingqing grabbed his hand, jumped up, and sat down in front of him.
They rode together on one horse.
On the street.
With a flick of its hooves, the horse passed through the sparse crowd, the wind it stirred up ruffling Wan Yuting's straight black hair.
Lu Feng and Lu Yun ran over, only to call out "Little Sister" before Lu Qingqing disappeared.
"No, we sent him to rescue people, so why did he take them away?" Lu Yun asked, bending over and panting heavily.
Lu Feng wiped away his sweat.
Thankfully, my little sister is safe.
Fortunately, they ran into the magistrate's son who was on official business.
"Where's Lin Ye? I need to tell her." Lu Feng suddenly remembered and turned around to look for Lin Ye.
"Lin Ye is in danger," a small vendor hiding under the table said as he emerged.
"What?"
The young vendor patted his chest, trying to calm himself down after being frightened.
His eyes were filled with curiosity and gossip:
"The girl on the horse said that Lin Ye was in danger, and then the constables went to rescue him."
Hey, who is Lin Ye?
Who was that man on horseback just now? He looked so imposing.
Why has it turned into Lin Ye again?
The two brothers looked solemn.
"Lu Yun".
Tian Miaomiao rushed over, her face full of worry.
"Lu Yun, I've been looking for you for ages!"
I saw several men chasing after your fiancée just now!
Nonsense!
His younger sister is clearly with Xu Rui!
Lu Yun's pupils suddenly contracted.
No, the clothes my little sister was wearing just now weren't the ones she wore today!
Those clothes... belong to Lin Ye!
It wasn't that he paid special attention, it's just that Lin Ye changed his clothes back and forth between only two outfits, so it was hard not to remember him!
So... it was Lin Ye who replaced the younger sister?
