Chapter 36 Conscience (1)
Zhu Youning carefully searched for the memory and then said confidently: "It should be Aunt Han from the fourth wife of the fourth wife. In the four old men's family, there is only the fourth son of the fourth wife, and there is an aunt named Han who gave birth to a young man."
"Hey, it's really interesting." Li Tuobei asked in a low voice, "Zhu Xiaojiu, guess how could the entrance of the cave in the back mountain lead under the bed of a concubine's bedroom?"
Zhu Youning shook his head with his innocent big eyes.
She is just a seven-year-old girl and she doesn't know anything!
"Brother Bei, if there is no one in the house, let's go out soon."
Li Tuobei laughed, pushed the lid away again, listened carefully for a while, and made sure there was no one in the room, so he moved the lid aside and climbed up easily.
The space under the bed was limited, so Li Tuobei had to turn over and let him go aside, hide himself under the bed in an awkward posture, reaching out to the hole and whisper: "Catch my brother's hand."
Zhu Youning grabbed Li Tuobei's hand and tried to climb up as much as possible.
Li Tuobei's hands were very hot, and the touch was unexpectedly rough. He didn't look like a young master from a wealthy family at all. He looked like he had farm tools all year round, and there were thick cocoons on his palms and fingers.
Although he was not very old, he was quite strong. In addition, Zhu Youning was thin, Li Tuobei pulled Zhu Youning up without much effort.
Zhu Youning lay down under the bed and looked at the soles of his shoes under the light. Seeing that there was soil on it, he knocked it in the hole. Li Tuobei also cleaned the soil on the soles of his shoes, then covered the lid lightly and pulled Zhu Youning out carefully.
Zhu Youning nervously held Li Tuobei's hand tightly, followed him with his waist, and sneaked all the way to the outside room.
This was the first time she had entered someone else's room without permission.
After all, this place is the fourth room. If someone finds them, although they can be explained that they came out of the tunnel, they will not sound good when they are spreading, and they will have many troubles.
Zhu Youning would not let the person who harmed her, but she did not use her own reputation.
Li Tuobei pointed out the window paper, looked carefully, and then turned around and whispered to Zhu Youning: "It's a small yard when you go out. The lights are lit in the east wing. It's black where the seat is down. There is no one. The moon door is close to the west wing. I open the door later, and you follow me along the window of the east wing to the moon door."
Zhu Youning nodded obediently.
Li Tuobei saw that her body was dirty and her little face was covered with dust, but her big eyes were so bright.
She was wronged today, but she didn't cry or make a fuss when she was at the bottom of the pit, and could handle the problem calmly. When she recalled the scene at the clan meeting that day, he admired and admired the little girl very much.
Unable to help but touch his head, Li Tuobei pushed the door open in a gap and pulled Zhu Youning to sneak out.
Zhu Youning's heart was in his throat. Even if he didn't do anything wrong, he was lurking in other people's houses to find a way out, and the feeling of hiding was really exciting.
However, Li Tuobei was unexpectedly skilled, as if this was not the first time he had done this.
He took Zhu Youning to cleverly avoid several groups of servants and maids, and soon he arrived at a small garden closest to the exterior wall.
"I have no exit after going around, and there are big trees outside. I think I can climb over the wall and it's outside the mansion. We'll climb over the wall later."
Zhu Youning looked at the tall pink wall and swallowed with difficulty.
"Brother Bei, I might be dragging you down."
"It's okay, don't underestimate your brother. I'm very awesome, and it's no problem to take you over the wall." Li Tuobei felt that this little sister was so sensible, and she knew to consider it for him at this critical moment.
In this way, he is more motivated.
Just as Zhu Youning was carefully observing the surroundings and looking for a suitable place to settle down, Li Tuobei suddenly grabbed her arm with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, and hid her in the rockery.
Zhu Youning guessed that he heard the movement, so he did not struggle.
At the same time, I heard footsteps coming from outside the Begonia Gate in the Little Garden. In the quiet night, even though the girl who was talking deliberately lowered her voice, the two people in the rockery could hear it clearly.
"...The old lady's dim sum just now is really good. Zhu You'an, you haven't eaten it in the eldest room before, have you?"
"I haven't eaten it before. I'm a illegitimate child and I'm not favored. It's not my turn to eat good things."
"Ha, I guess you haven't eaten such good snacks. It was specially prepared by our dim sum shop for the old lady. The old lady took it out after she was fond of her brother. Is it, brother?"
A familiar boy said impatiently: "A broken snack is worth showing off, what's the point! You women are so annoying!"
This voice and such a low-floating tone were Zhu Yanping.
The girl was dissatisfied with hearing this and said anxiously: "Brother, why don't you tell me? I'm going to vent my anger for you today!"
The footsteps stopped, and Zhu Yanping's voice was surprised, "What can I do to vent my anger?"
"Who is that Zhu Youning? She dared to show her an ugly look at the clan meeting. Today we tricked her into the back mountain and got her into a trap. She probably was crying now, haha!"
She laughed twice with gloating and said, "But it's thanks to Zhu Youan today. If Zhu Youan hadn't squatted on the ground and pretended to cry and asked the little beggar to relax her vigilance, she wouldn't have fallen into the pit.
"There is also the one with the surname Li who is so embarrassed to brag about his appearance, his literary talent and martial arts, and there is a group of people who say behind it that he is better than cousin Feng!
"So arrogant, how can he compete with cousin Feng when he falls into a cripple!"
"Brother, why are you thanking me?"
The girl's voice is so cute and charming.
But the innocent child's voice said such cruel words. Even Zhu Youning, who had experienced danger personally, felt that the hair on his back stood up.
It was quiet outside for a moment.
Then he heard Zhu Yanping's voice saying hurriedly: "What did you say? You deceived Mr. Li and Zhu Youning to the back mountain and let them fall into the hole? Do you know that someone had ever been killed in that hole?!"
"I know! Otherwise, we won't let them fall into pieces! A guy with an unknown origin and a beggar who was removed from the family, they deserve it!"
"Absurd! Who taught you that you are so vicious!"
"Brother! Why are you doing this? We are trying to vent our anger for you!"
"I am not as skilled as human beings. If I lose, I will lose. I need you to vent my anger! Wouldn't you feel guilty if you harm human life like this? Let's go, go with me to see my mother! Let's go!"
"Brother! If I don't go, you are ungrateful!"
