Chapter 28 It takes a lot of effort to get it (2)
The river water is so cold!
I can not swim!
Why haven’t Sui Sheng come to save me yet!
Do I want to "died before I succeed"?
...
After choking for a few sips of water, Lei Heng's consciousness gradually blurred and gradually fainted.
************************************
Hiss~~Hey, it hurts so much!
Ah snee! Ah snee! Ah snee!
I don’t know how long it took, Lei Heng woke up slowly, feeling heavy head and light feet, weak all over, and his throat was extremely thirsty.
"Water, water, I... want to drink water..."
There seemed to be a man next to him to pick up a pot of tea on the table and put the spout to Lei Heng's mouth. Lei Heng was not in charge at this moment, like a whale sucking water, and it was out of control. It was not until most of the pot of water entered his stomach that he slowly opened his eyes.
After squinting his eyes and looking for a long time, Lei Heng saw clearly that the little wild cat Chunfeng was in front of him. He blinked his eyes, looked around, and murmured: "Where am I? What happened? Where is Sui Sheng?"
Chunfeng took the teapot that Lei Heng handed back, and was a little shy and replied softly: "Young Master, this is the dock inn next to Pingdu County, Linjiang County. That night, you fell into the water for some reason. Brother Sui jumped into the river and rescued you. He fell asleep for a day and a night. A quarter of an hour ago, he went out to send a message to Linjiang and told me to take good care of the young master..." After that, he glanced at Lei Heng again, and quickly lowered his head to cover his shy face.
Lei Heng was more than that concerned, and continued to ask: "What was Zhang Qi's reaction? Where was the receipt? Was there something special happening on the ship?"
"The county magistrate... Zhang Qi seemed to feel guilty, so he went to the dock and let us off the boat, and accompanied Sui Sheng with the receipt. As for the special matter..." Chunfeng said this, buried his head and bit his lips and wanted to speak.
"What is it? Is it a case of money..." When Lei Heng saw the usual straightforward little wild cat, his heart suddenly rose to his throat. Could it be that the truth was revealed?
"For example money..." Chunfeng was stunned when he heard this, as if he had thought of something, and subconsciously wanted to say it, but he quickly hid it and sighed quietly: "Because the maid was not well taken care of, he neglected the distinguished guest of the county magistrate. In anger, he handed the maid over to the young master, letting the young master deal with it, regardless of life or death..."
Chunfeng stared at Lei Heng with big dark eyes and continued to ask word by word: "Young master is fighting, killing, or selling, and giving it to others like Zhang Qi. Chunfeng has no complaints!"
Lei Heng was speechless. Just this matter? Our county magistrate is doing a good job of face, so how could he really beat other people's maids? As long as theft is not discovered, I'll thank God.
"Okay~~Okay~~Young Master is not that kind of person! You won't kill you if you don't beat you. Sui Sheng will come back later. I'll let him escort you back to the Jiangzhou County Magistrate's Mansion!"
"I can't go back." Chunfeng's eyelids suddenly lowered, and his eyes were dim and dim.
Lei Heng thought she was worried about Zhang Qi's questioning and smiled and said, "I will write a handwritten letter with another 'filial piety'. I think the county magistrate will not make things difficult for you!"
“…”
"Since you are the young master, don't have the spring breeze... since you are the young master, don't have the spring breeze..." Chunfeng murmured several times, and finally smiled miserably and raised his head and replied: "Okay! I'll follow the arrangements of the young master!"
The two looked at each other speechlessly.
Lei Heng didn't know what to say for a moment, and the atmosphere in the house became more and more low and awkward, so he had to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
************************************
About an hour later, Sui Sheng rushed back to the inn.
"Lord, my subordinates have completed all the matters and bought a carriage and some dry food. The Lord of the Special Marquis has ordered the order."
It turned out that according to the previous plan, after stealing the money, he no longer returned to Linjiang County, but left a letter and took Xiangyang under the name of studying abroad, passed Nanyang, and went straight to Luoyang. In order to avoid being bound by Lei Su after returning, Feng's family was bound to be unable to travel, but also due to the urgency of time.
It was May of the sixth year of Guanghe (183 AD), and less than ten months left, the Jiazi day of the Jiazi year, and the great wise and good teacher Zhang Jiao was about to shout the slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, and the year is in Jiazi, and the world will be prosperous." The vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising will burn the war across most of the Han Empire.
I must gain a foothold before this and hold thousands of elite troops in order to gain a chance in the battle for hegemony in troubled times.
Since time is too late, I can only take action first and then report! Then I temporarily arranged for Sui Sheng to purchase all the items and notified Yan Shu, Yan Jie, Lin Sheng and others to join the city for foreign exchange.
But, this spring breeze...for nothing, she may have the right to take care of herself, so let Sui Sheng escort her back to Jiangzhou, and then meet in Xiangyang again.
"Very good! Thank you for your hard work!" Lei Heng nodded at Sui Sheng and ordered: "Sui Sheng, let's escort Chunfeng girl to Jiangzhou, and take good care of her along the way."
When Sui Sheng heard this, he was confused and asked: "Lord, Chunfeng..."
"Brother Sui, don't say much." Chunfeng interrupted Sui Sheng's words in a cold manner, stood up and walked out of the house, approaching the door, as if suddenly remembering something, and sneered: "Young Master is a person who does big things, Chunfeng dares not drag him down. I just hope that your master will be careful in the future and don't leave any slap..."
Chunfeng turned around, walked to the door, turned around, looked at Lei Heng reluctantly, walked out quietly, and closed the door, and his movements were as light as a cat. When the door was closed, the tears of Chunfeng could not stop flowing out. She leaned her head up against the door, and the hot tears rustled down, flowing to her lips, salty.
Chunfeng never cried, even though she was lonely and helpless since childhood, she would never shed a single tear when she was bullied, but now she is crying.
I thought it was just a meeting, just to find a place to settle down, but I never thought it would be so unforgettable. I was just a cattail, and my only use was to weave a pair of straw sandals. Even if the young master was just the son of the county magistrate, she could not stand up to it. Since this is the case, the only thing she could do for this meeting was this cheap life, and she would always keep that secret for the young master.
The spring breeze slowly squatted down, buried its head between its knees, and the sad tears dripped one by one to the wooden floor, slowly wetting...
Lei Heng was inexplicably told by Chunfeng. When he saw Sui Sheng staring at him blankly, he had to mock him: "That, the little girl may be worried about being punished for returning to the county magistrate's mansion. I will write a letter later and give it to Zhang Qi for more money."
"Lord, do you want to send the spring breeze back to Jiangzhou?"
"Can you still stay?" Lei Heng gave Sui Sheng a blank look and said, "The spring breeze is unclear, it may be the eyes and ears sent by Zhang Qi to me..."
"Yes... but..." Sui Sheng was anxious to explain, but he didn't know how to say anything for a moment, so he had to take out a piece of silk cloth from his arms and present it to Lei Heng, saying, "Zhang Qi has transferred Chunfeng's body sale contract to the young master. How could she return to Jiangzhou..."
"What?" Lei Heng was extremely surprised and murmured to himself: "Then why would she say 'let it be up to the arrangement'!"
Wait, Lei Heng seemed to have some realization, and when he thought of Chunfeng's abnormal behavior before, he had an incredible thought in his heart.
"Sui Sheng, think about it carefully first. I tell you, 'After hearing the sound of me falling into the water, you must first take off the rope tied to the boat and throw it into the river, then shout 'The lord accidentally fell into the water', and finally jumped out of the river to save me!', have you done it one by one?"
Sui Sheng was sweating on his forehead, and was so scared that he quickly knelt down on the ground, saying, "At later, my subordinates saw someone coming not far away. They were nervous and panic for a moment. They only remembered that they shouted 'The lord accidentally fell into the water'. They were worried that the lord security would jump out of the river, but they couldn't remember whether they had dealt with the rope..."
"However, my subordinates investigated afterwards, and there was no trace of that place, and there was no abnormality among the people on the ship!" Sui Sheng took off his sword and handed it to Lei Heng, and said seriously: "My subordinates are inappropriate in their work and are almost putting the lord in a dangerous place. It is a crime that no one can redeem for death! Please give your subordinates a death!"
"Okay! Get up!" Lei Heng called Sui Sheng up angrily, "Since it is a crime that will not be redeemable for a hundred deaths, isn't it too cheap to let you die like this? Is it a good idea to make meritorious service and reduce your monthly salary by half during this period. If you commit another crime, you will definitely be fined."
"Thank you for your kindness!" Sui Sheng burst into tears and kowtowed three times at Lei Heng.
"Go to thank Chunfeng girl later. It's probably because she wiped the traces for us... Otherwise, you and I... could not tell me!" Lei Heng sighed and thought about it carefully. Since Zhang Qi transferred Chunfeng's sales contract to herself, she would never be able to return to the county magistrate's mansion. Since she had this handle, but did not report it, she really didn't know why she was trying to. This misunderstanding made her leave sadly...
Wait, will she be...
"Sui Sheng, follow me out to pursue the spring breeze, hurry!"
"promise!"
The two of them ran to the counter. Sui Sheng didn't say anything, but grabbed the shopkeeper and asked sternly: "Where is the girl who came with us now?"
"Just... just... ran out..."
“In which direction?”
"The direction of the river."
"Sui Sheng, you are fast, rush to the riverside, be sure to stop the spring breeze!"
"promise!"
************************************
When Lei Heng arrived at the riverside, he saw Sui Sheng carrying a girl from the river water from afar. Could it be... Lei Heng quickly ran forward to help.
It's really a spring breeze.
Fortunately, Sui Sheng came in time and was still awake. However, after choking for a few sips of water, it was nothing serious. It was just that his big, lively eyes were dull and dull.
"Why are you so stupid?" Lei Heng felt guilty.
Chunfeng got up, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Young Master, please don't drive me away, Chunfeng... don't go back to Jiangzhou, don't go anywhere else..."
Lei Heng was confused when he heard this. He bent down and helped Chunfeng and said, "Get up, get up quickly, what's wrong? Didn't you agree just now? Then what do you want to do? Tell me."
Chunfeng stood up, wiped his tears, and thrust, "Chunfeng... I just want to serve the young master. As long as the young master leaves the spring breeze, I will do anything!"
Lei Heng looked at her in a daze, his eyes gradually softening: "Stay here with me, I am just a little maid. I have to do very hard and tiring work, would you like?"
"I do!" Chunfeng nodded very simply.
"You have to serve tea and water."
"duty!"
"We need to clean and wash."
"should!"
"Get up early and go to bed late."
"willing!"
The spring breeze nodded constantly.
Lei Heng sighed softly. If he didn't understand the girl's intentions, he wouldn't be Lei Heng, but a pig. He was inexplicably happy and couldn't help laughing, and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, young master, carry you back to the inn, this time, the young master will take good care of you."
"Yeah! Thank you young master!" Chunfeng burst into tears and crawled carefully on Lei Heng's back.
"Sui Sheng, the plan has changed. Let's take a break for a while and leave early tomorrow morning to return to the county town."
Chapter completed!
