Red Dust Daqian
Chapter 25 Mrs. Xiao's Helplessness
Xiao Zhuyu gradually lost control of her emotions and became more and more agitated because she had not been able to get the address of the gambler surnamed Tang as she wished. If this continued, it would not only be of no help in finding Xiao Zhuyu's mother, but would also cause trouble for everyone.
Zhou Sen needed to make a decision quickly. Zhou Sen immediately hugged Xiao Zhuyu tightly, trying to calm her down first. "Zhuyu, you need to calm down. If you ask like this, you won't get any results, and it will only scare people away." Zhou Sen calmly persuaded Xiao Zhuyu. Xiao Zhuyu asked Zhou Sen sadly with tears in her eyes: "Mr. Mumu, what should I do? How can I find my mother?" Zhou Sen whispered to Xiao Zhuyu: "Don't worry, I'm here."
After saying that, Zhou Sen handed Xiao Zhuyu to Xiangcao for care. Then he pushed aside the crowd, stood on the gambling table, took out 10 taels of silver and held it high in his hand, shouting: "Everyone, everyone, who knows where the man surnamed Tang who won the bet against Xiao Jialang and took away Mrs. Xiao lives? The one who tells me will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver." It's not that Zhou Sen was stingy and only rewarded 10 taels of silver for the clue of Xiao's mother, but in this cannibalistic era, 10 taels of silver was actually a large sum of money, which could buy one or two maids and servants.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of gamblers surrounded him, shouting, "I know." "I know." "You mean that Tang Dadan, right? I know." "I know, I can take you directly to his house now." It is true that money can make the devil work. No matter how sad and painful your inquiry and pleading are, no one will pay attention. The reward has been offered, and everyone knows the home of the gambler surnamed Tang. Zhou Sen selected a nimble man from the gamblers who signed up enthusiastically, who was willing to take Zhou Sen and others directly to the young man of Tang's house.
The young man led Zhou Sen and others to the Tang family. Behind them followed a group of people who were watching the excitement and not minding the big things. The young man introduced the situation of Tang Dadan to Zhou Sen, Xiao Zhuyu and others as he walked. Tang Dadan, in fact, had a good family background before, but because of his addiction to gambling, his life became worse and worse. Now he is in his forties and still a bachelor. A few days ago, Tang Dadan was lucky and won a lot of games in the casino. In the end, he faced the unlucky Xiao Jialang and won the beautiful wife of the Xiao family. The young man became more and more excited as he talked, as if he had done something big. He boasted: "That day, when Tang Dadan took the letter signed by Xiao Jialang and went to kidnap the wife of the Xiao family, we all went over to see it. Tsk, tsk, the wife of the Xiao family, although she is middle-aged, she looks very beautiful and still has charm, but she is a little thinner. However, Tang Dadan was very happy." Zhou Sen heard the young man talking about Xiao Zhuyu's mother like this, and stopped the young man for fear of irritating Xiao Zhuyu.
A group of people came to the Tang family. As soon as they arrived in front of the Tang family's yard, they heard a man's voice shouting in the yard: "Madam, open the door, open the door." No one opened the door. After a while, there was another banging sound in the yard, but still no one responded to the man. The man was a little angry and continued to shout: "I have tolerated you for many days. You have to obey me today, whether you don't obey me or not. Today I will decide you. Even the king of heaven will not be able to help."
From the yard came the sound of a door being forced open. "Don't come over here. If you touch me today, I will commit suicide." A woman shouted in anger.
Xiao Zhuyu heard that it was her mother who was shouting that she wanted to commit suicide, and she immediately wanted to rush into the courtyard to rescue her mother. Zhou Sen stopped Xiao Zhuyu and asked Xiangcao to take good care of and comfort Xiao Zhuyu, while he and Zhao Tiechui went to rescue her. Because if Xiao Zhuyu rushed in rashly, she might anger Tang Dadan and do something to hurt Mrs. Xiao. At the same time, it was also to avoid Xiao Zhuyu from seeing any unbearable scenes, which would further intensify Xiao Zhuyu's emotions and hurt her.
Zhou Sen did not dare to delay and directly instructed Zhao Tiechui to break open the gate. Zhou Sen and Zhao Tiechui crossed the yard and rushed directly into the house whose door had just been broken. A big man and Madam Xiao were in a stalemate in the house. The big man wanted to pounce on Madam Xiao, while Madam Xiao held a pair of scissors against her neck, and the tip of the scissors was red.
Madam Xiao's eyebrows and eyes are similar to Xiao Zhuyu. Fox eyes, long nose, fair skin, shallow dimples. She is much thinner than Xiao Zhuyu, probably because she has not lived a happy life in the past few years. But in Zhou Sen's eyes, Madam Xiao has the skinny beauty of modern people. In this world where fat is beautiful, everyone still thinks that Madam Xiao is very charming, which shows that Madam Xiao's appearance is quite good. In the world of Daqian Dynasty, Madam Xiao is already middle-aged, but if she were in the 21st century, she would be in her 30s, which is the best age. It's a pity for Madam Xiao. How could she have such a terrible husband like Xiao Zhuyu's father? It's a pity.
Zhou Sen and Zhao Tiechui's sudden intrusion diverted the two's attention and broke the stalemate. Tang Dabing roared, "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?" Zhou Sen did not respond to Tang Dabing's words, but let Zhao Tiechui restrain Tang Dabing first.
Zhou Sen was afraid that Madam Xiao would continue to hurt him, so he hurriedly explained to Madam Xiao: "Madam Xiao, I am Xiao Zhuyu's friend, and I am here to pick you up today. You can put the scissors down, don't hurt yourself." Madam Xiao held the scissors a little further away, looking at the handsome Taoist priest in front of her in confusion, still not daring to fully believe that this Taoist priest was her daughter's friend. Her daughter was clearly abducted by the dog-wolf demon, so when did she make friends with a Taoist priest?
While Mrs. Xiao was puzzled, Xiao Zhuyu broke free from Xiangcao's arms, rushed in, and cried to Mrs. Xiao: "Mother, it's me, put down the scissors quickly." Mrs. Xiao couldn't believe that the scene in front of her was real. She was stunned for a long time, and the scissors slipped from her hands and fell to the ground, waking Mrs. Xiao up. Her daughter really came back and stood in front of her again. Xiao Zhuyu rushed over and hugged Mrs. Xiao. Mrs. Xiao held Xiao Zhuyu's face and confirmed again and again that it was true that her daughter was back. Then the two hugged each other and cried excitedly. The people watching around were also moved, and Zhou Sen and Xiangcao couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
Zhou Sen was ready to take Madam Xiao away directly. Tang Dabing struggled and shouted, "Stop, she is my wife now, you can't take her away. I have a written document from Xiao Jialang." Zhou Sen and others hesitated. It is true that in this world, husbands have the right to buy and sell their wives. If Tang Dabing doesn't let go and doesn't let her go, Zhou Sen really can't do anything to him. Seeing Zhou Sen and others hesitate, Tang Dabing slowly broke free from Zhao Tiechui, stood up and grinned, "I have a written document from Xiao Jialang. Madam Xiao is mine now. Don't even think about taking her away. I'm not afraid even if it goes to the government."
Mrs. Xiao lowered her head in disappointment and shed tears silently. Xiao Zhuyu looked at Zhou Sen with pleading eyes. Xiangcao also hoped that Zhou Sen could come up with a good idea quickly and was looking forward to it. Zhao Tiechui was even waiting for Zhou Sen's instructions, wishing he could kill this scoundrel with a hammer.
