Chapter 836 Linglong Wakes Up

He looked at Ouyang Linlin's haggard face, and the self-blame in his heart overflowed again like a raging tide.

"It's all my fault. I didn't think well and shouldn't have let Xiaohong go out alone, which led to today's situation."

Ouyang Linlin's face was filled with tears. She choked and shouted Xiaohong's name one after another. Her voice was full of helplessness and longing, as if as long as she kept calling like this, Xiaohong would miraculously appear. In front of you.

Xi Yu held her hand tightly, trying to convey some warmth and strength, but he knew very well that at this moment, they were in deep trouble and sorrow, and it was difficult to extricate themselves.

Xi Yu was so worried that he immediately sent his capable men to the county government.

The subordinate galloped all the way and rushed into the lobby of the county government office. He ignored the etiquette and shouted loudly: "The Prime Minister has ordered that your county government office will find Xiaohong within three days. If he cannot find Xiaohong, he will not be spared."

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate of the county government hurriedly came out of the back hall, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "Who... is this Xiaohong? Why are you looking for her so eagerly?"

The subordinate snorted coldly: "Xiaohong is a very important person around Mrs. Ouyang of the Prime Minister's family. She went out late at night last night and did not come back, so she must have encountered a bad person. Those of you who usually receive salary from the court, now that it is time to contribute, don't do anything Be lazy, otherwise you will not be able to bear the Prime Minister's wrath."

The county magistrate nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, you guys must go all out."

After the men left, the county magistrate immediately summoned the county police officers and said solemnly: "Everyone, this matter is of great importance. We dare not disobey the Prime Minister's orders. I'm afraid that Xiao Hong, who disappeared in the middle of the night, will It's very dangerous, so everyone immediately split into several groups to investigate, and don't miss any inns, taverns, or dark alleys in the city. The results must be obtained within three days, otherwise everyone will suffer. "

The detectives followed the order and left. For a moment, the entire county was enveloped in a tense atmosphere.

But Xi Yu was restless in the house.

"If I could have prevented her from going out last night, what happened now would not have happened." He murmured to himself, with a trace of pain and anxiety in his eyes, hoping that the county government would send good news as soon as possible.

On the other side, early that morning, Wang Hu finally led his soldiers to a village.

This village is very ordinary. You can hear the sounds of chickens and dogs, the farmhouses are scattered in an orderly manner, and the village roads are winding. The lives of the villagers seem calm and peaceful, and they seem to have nothing to do with the disputes in the outside world.

With a stern face and a complicated look in his eyes, Wang Hu led the soldiers straight to the door of a house.

The door was locked, and the old copper lock shone slightly coldly in the morning light.

Wang Hu stood in front of the door, frowning, and said solemnly: "I was here at that time." His voice was low and firm, as if he was trying to suppress the waves in his heart.

A soldier, with a trace of doubt and disbelief on his face, continued to ask: "Are you sure? Don't lie." The soldier's eyes were fixed on Wang Hu, as if he wanted to find a flaw in his face. .

When Wang Hu heard this, his eyes widened with anger, his cheeks tightened, and veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted: "Since you don't believe me, then don't say anything to me!" His roar echoed in the village in the early morning. The sound echoed in the air, causing the birds in the nearby trees to fly away in shock.

It's a pity that the door of this family's house is tightly closed, with no sign of opening.

At this time, a clever soldier walked towards the neighbor's house and knocked gently on the door.

After a while, the neighbor's door creaked open, and an old man poked his head out.

The soldier hurried forward to ask about the situation of this family. The old man stroked his beard and said slowly: "This house has been closed for several days, and no one has been seen coming in or out. We don't know where they went. "

After the soldiers heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, but they all had no idea.

They didn't dare to break in or take other actions rashly, because they couldn't afford it if something went wrong.

In desperation, everyone had to stay in front of this house for the time being, staring at the closed door, hoping for some turning point. Time passed slowly in this slightly anxious waiting.

On this day, Linglong woke up and found the concierge accompanying her in the room. The concierge showed a bitter smile on his face and said, "Madam, are you awake?"

Linglong stood up with difficulty, but the concierge quickly reached out to stop her, telling her to have a good rest and not move too much.

Linglong stubbornly continued to stand up, her forehead was instantly covered with fine beads of sweat, and her complexion became paler.

Seeing this, the concierge anxiously advised: "Madam, you have just woken up and are very weak. You must not move around."

Linglong gasped lightly, with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.

"I've been lying down for too long, and I feel uneasy."

The concierge sighed helplessly and could only carefully support her behind with his hands to prevent her from falling.

Linglong bit her lower lip and adjusted her sitting posture little by little. Every movement was accompanied by a slight trembling of her body, as if she was fighting against extreme weakness.

Linglong quickly asked: "Where is Butler Xu Dabao?"

The concierge smiled dryly and advised: "Madam, you should have a good rest first. It won't be too late to worry about other things when you feel better."

Linglong's heart thumped, and she felt that something bad had happened, so she asked: "Concierge, please tell me what's going on. Don't hide it from me."

The concierge looked helpless and hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "Madam, Xu Dabao is dead. He was killed by that traitor."

When Linglong heard this, her body froze suddenly, her face instantly turned pale, and tears burst into her eyes: "How could this happen... Dabao, he..."

Her voice was filled with tears, mixed with endless sorrow and indignation.

The concierge muttered again: "Madam, Ren Dabai, who was newly arrived, is also dead."

Linglong's eyes froze for a moment, her face full of shock and disbelief.

"What did you say? Ren Dabai..."

Linglong's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Ren Dabaiye's appearance and the scene of his desperate fight with Armas appeared in Linglong's mind involuntarily.

That day, Armas was like a madman, but Ren Dabai rushed forward fearlessly.

Tears burst out of Linglong's eyes and slid down her cheeks.

"He was trying to save me... If it weren't for him, I would have encountered something unexpected."

Her heart was filled with grief.

The concierge looked remorseful and sighed heavily. Then he knelt down with a plop and said in a trembling voice: "Madam, I was so blind that day that I didn't realize that the man was a person with evil intentions, so I let him in." The housekeeper was also informed that the young man had committed such a big mistake and deserved death, and asked Madam to punish him severely. "

Linglong looked at the concierge kneeling on the ground and shook her head slightly, with a hint of helplessness and exhaustion in her eyes.

"What's the use of talking about this now? This may be a fate that is destined to happen, and it cannot be reversed by your own efforts. Get up, and don't kneel anymore."

The concierge raised his head, with tears in his eyes, but still did not dare to get up, as if waiting for Linglong's further forgiveness.

Linglong frowned slightly, her tone a little more impatient.

"I ask you to get up and don't make such a gesture again. The most important thing right now is to find out the truth, rather than blaming yourself here."

The concierge then stood up slowly and stood aside with his head lowered, not daring to express his anger.

Linglong calmed down and asked, "How many people are left in the mansion now?"

When the concierge heard this, he let out a long sigh, with a look on his face that he was hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Linglong said softly: "But it doesn't matter, I can bear it."

The concierge spoke slowly.

"The family members all left, and then the girls also left one after another, taking some things with them when they left. The younger one wanted to stop him, but there was nothing he could do."

At this point, the concierge couldn't help covering his face and started crying.

Linglong looked at the crying concierge and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

The concierge wiped his tears and said with a tearful tone: "Young man has been here in the Huang Mansion for many years and has already developed a deep relationship with this place. How can you leave so easily?"

After hearing the concierge's words, Linglong felt mixed emotions in her heart. Looking at the empty surroundings, an unprecedented sense of loneliness filled her heart.

She knows that today's Huang Mansion is no longer what it used to be, and the difficulties she faces are becoming more and more difficult.

Linglong looked at the concierge, her eyes full of exhaustion and helplessness, and said softly: "You should leave too. This mansion is no longer what it used to be, and there is no hope for staying."

The concierge was resolute and said quickly: "Madam, I won't leave. Although all the previous servants have left, we can still find others in the future, and this mansion will definitely regain its former prosperity."

Linglong slowly shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Don't comfort me anymore. I can no longer support this family. You see, no one is cultivating the farmland at home, and there is no harvest. How can we talk about prosperity?" "

The concierge frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said: "Madam, please be at ease. I would like to recruit someone to come over and solve the plowing matter first. As long as there are people, everything will gradually get better."

Linglong looked at the sincere eyes of the concierge. Although she still had doubts in her heart, she was also moved by his loyalty. She didn't know how to respond for a moment, so she just sighed silently and fell into deep thought.

The concierge comforted her softly: "Madam, don't think about anything now. Just take a good rest and recuperate your body. I will guard the door right now. If anything happens, I will notify you immediately."

Linglong's eyes were dim and she nodded feebly. She was exhausted both physically and mentally, and she was unable to worry about any more things at this moment.

Upon seeing this, the concierge carefully exited the room. Before leaving the door, he did not forget to look back at Linglong, his eyes full of concern and worry.

As the concierge left, the room fell into silence again, leaving Linglong lying alone on the bed, looking at the empty ceiling, with a lot of thoughts, full of confusion and helplessness about the future, not knowing what to expect in these stormy days. How to survive, and whether Huang Mansion can turn around in these difficulties.

Xi Yu paced anxiously in the prime minister's house. Time passed by like a white horse. The whole day passed quietly, but there was still no news from Xiao Hong.

His brows were furrowed, and his heart was full of worry and helplessness. He couldn't help but think to himself: "If there was such a magical thing as surveillance in ancient times, it would be much easier to find people, but it's a pity..."

He let out a long sigh and slumped down on the chair. Various dangerous situations that Xiaohong might encounter kept popping up in his mind. Each one was like a sharp blade, piercing his heart.

The soldier guarding the gate trotted all the way to Xi Yu, quickly bowed and saluted, and said in a hurried tone: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, there is a person outside the gate of the mansion, saying that a girl has appeared in his house. Judging from all the characteristics, he is probably you." I’m looking for Xiaohong, he’s here just to report the news.”

When Xi Yu heard this, he immediately became energetic and shouted loudly: "Then what are you waiting for? Let that person in quickly, don't delay!"

After a while, the soldier led a farmer over.

The farmer was dressed in coarse clothes and had a simple and honest face, but his steps were a little awkward and his expression was nervous.

Seeing this, Xi Yu raised his hand slightly and said in a harmonious voice: "Fellow fellow, don't be nervous. Just relax and tell me the truth if you have anything to say."

The farmer raised his eyes to look at Xi Yu, then quickly lowered his head, rubbing the corners of his clothes unconsciously with his hands, as if trying to calm down the uneasiness in his heart so that he could smoothly tell what he knew.

Xi Yu waved his hand to the soldier, signaling him to step aside for now. The soldier accepted the order and left quickly.

At this time, the farmer cleared his throat and said, "Sir, my son went to Youzhou City for business a few days ago and saw a girl lying on the ground injured on the street. Judging from the situation, she might have been injured. The carriage was hit. My son was kind-hearted and hurriedly took her back. The girl woke up later, but the strange thing is that she seemed to have forgotten everything before and could not remember anything. But when I looked at her appearance, I felt like you. The Xiaohong I’m looking for looks very similar, so I came to tell you quickly.”

Listening to the farmer's story, Xi Yu frowned more and more. He was worried about Xiao Hong's condition, but also ignited a glimmer of hope. He thought that maybe it was Xiao Hong, so he asked eagerly: "Then is she different now?" Please tell me in detail."

The farmer hurriedly said: "Sir, the girl was indeed injured at that time, but a doctor has been invited to see her, and all the injuries have been healed. It's the brain. It may have been broken at that time, so nothing happened. Remember."

Xi Yu was so worried that he couldn't help but interrupt the farmer.

"Stop talking nonsense, take me there immediately. How did you get here?"

The farmer responded quickly: "Sir, the little one came here on foot."

Xi Yu immediately said: "It doesn't matter, I'll take you there on horseback. There's no need to delay. Let's go quickly!"

However, just when Xi Yu was about to leave, he hurriedly came to Ouyang Linlin's room.

He looked happy and said as he walked in: "I have good news to tell you, Xiaohong has been found! Someone just came to report the clues, saying that they rescued a girl. Looking at the situation, it is probably Xiaohong. "

Then, Xi Yu repeated what the farmer said exactly, detailing all the circumstances from when the girl was injured and rescued to when she woke up but lost her memory.

When Ouyang Linlin heard this, she stood up with excitement and said hurriedly: "Really? Husband, that's great! Go quickly and bring Xiaohong here intact, but you must not leave the house." What's wrong?"

Xi Yu responded quickly, turned around and left quickly so that they could rush to the farmer's house together and bring Xiao Hong back as soon as possible.

After Xi Yu left, the joy on Ouyang Linlin's face gradually faded and was instead shrouded in worry.

She frowned and thought to herself: "What if that girl isn't Xiao Hong? This is just a joy."

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Her hands were holding the corners of her clothes unconsciously, feeling that she had been worried about Xiaohong these days.

The whole person's nerves seemed to have become fragile, as if the slightest disturbance could plunge him into endless panic.

At this moment, I was even more entangled, and I could only silently pray that the girl was really Xiao Hong, so that this ordeal would end quickly.

Xi Yu ordered his servants to quickly prepare the horses. After everything was ready, he took the farmer and got on the horse together.

After leaving the city, Xi Yu only wanted to see the girl who looked like Xiao Hong as soon as possible, so he whipped up his horse and made the horse speed gradually increase.

After galloping for a while, Xi Yu turned to ask the farmer beside him.

"How far is the journey?"

The farmer scratched his head and replied: "Sir, there are still dozens of miles to go."

When Xi Yu heard this, he said with surprise: "You walked such a long way?"

The farmer just smiled innocently, with a simple expression, and replied: "Sir, it's nothing for us farmers to take this small road. We just want to report the news to you as soon as possible."

Looking at the farmer's honest appearance, Xi Yu felt a little more trusting in his purpose. He waved the riding crop in his hand again, driving the horse to run faster.

The sound of horse hooves hit the ground like a torrential rain. The horse carried Xi Yu and farmer Luo Cheng at full speed, and finally arrived at Luojiazhuang.

On the way, Xi Yu also learned that the farmer's name was Luo Cheng, and he also knew a little bit about his family situation. His wife had passed away, and now he only lived with his young son.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw a tall and straight young man standing there, with simplicity and intelligence in his eyes. This boy was Luo Cheng's son Luo Xiaoyu.

Luo Xiaoyu saw her father returning, accompanied by an extraordinary stranger. Although she was curious, she still politely walked forward and saluted.

Xi Yu ignored the small talk and eagerly searched for the girl in the yard, asking, "Luo Cheng, where is that woman?"

Luo Cheng hurriedly pointed to the house and said, "Sir, it's in the house."

Xiyu was so anxious that he strode towards the house, fully expecting to see the girl who might be Xiaohong as soon as possible to relieve his longing and worry for many days.

Luo Xiaoyu looked at Luo Cheng in confusion, and Luo Cheng said, "This is the Prime Minister."

Luo Xiaoyu was surprised and wanted to pay her respects, but Xiyu stopped her and asked where the girl was. Luo Xiaoyu said she was in the inner room.

So Xiyu immediately ran to the inner room and saw a girl lying on the bed. It was Xiaohong. (End of this chapter)
