Chapter 143: Out of the City
Siqing got up and calmed down, she looked up at the city wall outside the courtyard.
Standing in the courtyard next to the city wall, you can see the light of the shadows outside the wall.
The movement was inaudible, but the light flashed and went out, indicating that there was a guard outside the wall.
Xiang Fu saw that she was silent, sighed like a dead heart, and said to her: "Forget it, you take care of yourself, if something happens to you, I still can't live, over there...... Just leave it at that. ”
"Take care of it. Siqing didn't wait for him to finish, and suddenly said, "Cheng'er is my son, since I know that he is in danger, how can I care, not only Cheng'er, Jiang Yarong, Gu Yingyue, but also Yun'er, I can't watch them die." ”
"But what are you going to do?" said Xiang Fu's eyes.
"Take them out of town before dawn. ”
"What?" Xiang Fu didn't react, "It's a problem for you to go out of the city alone, how can you still take them with you?"
"If you don't give it a try, how do you know?" When Siqing said this, she paused slightly, and a figure came to her mind, and she remembered that this was what Huai'an used to say.
She shook her head with all her might, waving his figure away.
"If you protect a city, then I will guard a home. She silently whispered into the void air, then clenched her fists.
She beckoned to the float, tiptoed open the door, and with him walked around the flowerbed in front of the door to a puddle, leaned down, and gently tugged at the pile of straw beside the puddle.
Usually people use straw for cooking and fire, many people will beat the straw and pile it at the door of the house for easy access, this straw pile is made by Siqing, but she cooks very little, this pile only increases.
Xiang Fu bent down with her, and saw that the pile of straw was about half a person high, some of which had been dried in the sun, and some of which were hung with fresh soil.
But nothing special from other homes.
He looked up in confusion.
Siqing said in a low voice: "The right road can't be walked, you can only take the 'crooked and evil way', there is a small piece of brick behind this straw pile that is loose, moving it can allow an adult to drill through, drilling through is outside the city, I am afraid that the government will come to repair it, so I block it with straw." ”
When she found out at the time, she just wanted to leave a way back just in case, but she didn't think that she would actually be able to use it.
Xiang Furu discovered the new world and exclaimed: "Since there is this road, why didn't you leave earlier?"
"Before, the time had not yet come, and my sudden disappearance would arouse suspicion, but today ......" she looked up, "Look at the sentry light, the city is besieged, and there are people guarding the walls, and you will be caught when you go out." ”
"This ......" is deflated, doesn't this mean that it is useless?
"It's not. Siqing saw through his heart, "I have discovered the law, the soldiers guarding will change their guards every two hours, and there is a gap of a quarter of an hour during the changing of guards, no one will defend them, if we can get out within this quarter of an hour, we can leave." ”
"But...... In a quarter of an hour, you can't run far. Xiang Fu said again, what is the use of just going out, it is true not to be caught.
"I have already explored the road outside, the opposite side of this wall was originally a pond, but now the water has dried up, it has become a ravine, and there is a mound in front of the ravine, the ravine is close, and it is not shallow, after drilling out, you only need to run a few steps, cross the mound and hide in it, the night is dark, and the mound is blocked, it is not easy to be found without making a sound, as long as we can pass, gently lean down along the ravine, we can go far away, even if we are seen, they will not think that we are out of the city. ”
The ravine outside the city was said to be like this, Xiang Fu also had an impression, the ravine was one person high, and it was full of soft mud, and there were a lot of withered weeds, and the movement was not too big when stepping on it, and it was close to the city wall on this side of the mound, and on the other side was a dense forest, if you went up to the forest, it would basically be out of danger.
But this method is not foolproof, but as soon as there is a little noise, it will be all over, if it is not for the fact that the fate of the other side is on the line, Siqing does not want to take them to risk.
However, now the only way to survive is to choose a relatively survivable way in the midst of danger.
She said to the floater, "Give it a try!"
Xiang Fu hesitated for a moment, and nodded solemnly: "Okay, give it a try!"
Looking up, he said, "When are they going to change the guard?"
Siqing took the pocket watch and looked at it: "There are about forty minutes left, let's hurry to Meng's house to pick up people." ”
"Hmm. Xiang Fu got up, but stretched out his hand to hold her, "It's useless to go to more people, but to attract attention, you stay here, I'll pick up my legs and feet, Cheng Yiheng probably hasn't left yet, he should help, right?"
Siqing quickly weighed it and nodded happily: "Okay, I'll stay here, he will help." ”
Xiang Fu looked at her hard, and suddenly said: "If we don't come over at the point, you will leave first, you know, waiting for an extra hour will be more dangerous!"
Siqing shuddered and didn't respond yet, and Xiang Fu couldn't wait and had already run away.
In front of Meng's house, Cheng Yiheng hadn't left yet, he was trying to find a way to save people, but he pondered and pondered, and felt that he couldn't find any way.
If you can't get out, you can only hide, Xuncheng is so big, where can you hide?
If he can't hide it, he will bring trouble to himself.
He wanted to leave it alone, but he always didn't want to go in his heart, and he turned back after walking a few times, and after turning back, he had nothing to do, so he could only wander around.
Xiang Fu's arrival finally let him see the dawn, and helped send everyone to Siqing, this errand is very simple, Dusk is not far from Meng's house, less than ten minutes away from the back and forth, and they have a short time to pack their things.
The person who fled for his life, his net worth is no longer important, Na Yun'er packed the money left by Huai'an before, and casually put on a few clothes, she and her young lady were done, Xiang Fu took a bag of food for Cheng'er, wrapped a cotton coat, and it was done.
He carried Cheng'er on his back, Yun'er hugged Jiang Yarong, and quietly walked out of the side door of the Meng family, moving very quickly, half of the time less than expected.
But the situation itself was urgent, and this extra space did not allow them to stay longer, and they waited by the side door, looking anxiously in, but no one came.
Xiang Fu was very puzzled: "Doesn't the third young grandmother still have to dress up?"
After the words fell, he saw the figures of Cheng Yiheng and Gu Yingyue, he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to them to go quickly, but the two of them walked awkwardly, one with a gloomy face in front, and the other reluctantly followed behind, looking like a trafficking scene.
The two of them finally walked to the door, and Gu Yingyue's footsteps stopped again.
"What are you going to do?" shouted to Fufu, "I don't have time, let's go." ”
Gu Yingyue leaned against the door, did not speak, and did not move.
Xiang Fu looked confused and looked at Cheng Yiheng puzzled: "What's wrong with her?"
"She doesn't want to go, who knows what kind of illness she is committing. Cheng Yiheng held back his fire, counted the time, and was anxious, "You guys go first, I'll get her over, if it doesn't work, I'll knock her out!"
"Then hurry up and keep up. Xiang Fu said and motioned to Yun'er, and Yun'er immediately led Jiang Yarong and walked out.
Xiang Fu then took two steps, thought about it, and then turned around and said, "You can't be knocked out, otherwise someone will have to move her when she leaves the city." ”
Cheng Yiheng coughed: "I'll just say that......"
When several people arrived at the twilight home, Siqing had already moved the straw pile from the side out of a looming passage, and the front was still covered with straw, and if you didn't look carefully, you could hardly see anything abnormal.
Yun'er taught Jiang Yarong very well, she wore a velvet hat, and her wooden face was buried in the pulled up fur collar, although her eyes were confused, but she was obedient, not noisy, and very obedient.
Cheng'er fell asleep on Xiang Fu's back, Si Qing wanted to reach out and take Cheng'er, Xiang Fu gave way to her, and said to her: "I'll carry it, I'll send you out." ”
"No need to ......"
"No, I've decided, I'll leave with you, you're all gone, what am I doing in Xuncheng alone?" he said.
Siqing was a little surprised, but she thought about it for a moment and quickly agreed: "Okay." ”
If he stays here, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no danger, and it is right to go together.
Looking back and forth, she asked, "Where is the full moon?"
"Cheng Yiheng took her, she should be there, right?" Xiang Fuye looked back, just in time to see a figure gradually flashing on the dark road.
But there is only one.
When Cheng Yiheng approached, he asked almost at the same time: "Where is there another person?"
"I tried my best. Cheng Yiheng closed her eyes, "She really doesn't want to go." ”
He also looked to and fro and saw the light of the stars.
Just now, Gu Yingyue leaned against the door, refusing to take a step outside, she said, she was afraid that if she left the door of the Meng family, she would lose her reputation.
"Reputation is more important than life and death?" Cheng Yiheng asked just now.
And she nodded firmly: "Yes." ”
Cheng Yiheng is going crazy.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, okay, you are the wife of the Meng family to the third young master Ming Media, even if you don't worship the church, no one denies your identity, you are his person in life, and death is his ghost, leaving here today, you are still the third young grandmother of the Meng family, only you can be next to him next to his tablet in the Meng family ancestral hall in the future, he can't rely on him when he lives, and he can't rely on it when he dies, Huangquan Biluo is the only one who can be implicated in him, and no one can replace him...... Don't show your determination at this juncture!"
He wanted to pull Gu Yingyue, but the other party took a step back, moved his arm, and closed the door from the inside.
Gu Yingyue said through the door: "No matter what you say, anyway, if I don't leave, I will die in the Meng family." ”
There was a crackle on the door, and she raised her hand to lock it, got up and disappeared into the deep night.
In the empty house, the gurgling sound of the water is the only sound, the sound is like a distant song, chanting is a long obsession, and the song seems to be mixed with some noise, "poof" disrupted the rhythm, and ended up with the end of the song.
Cheng Yiheng turned his head from the starry light and said to the person in front of him: "Those who refuse to leave, no matter how much they can't take away, you go first, I just saw the patrol, if you are discovered, you can't leave." ”
Hearing this, Siqing looked at the pocket watch again, counting the whistle lights outside, and there were still ten or so minutes.
Xiang Fu said to her, "That...... Don't wait, there are five of us here?"
She sighed softly, "Okay, let's go first." ”
She also wanted to ask Cheng Yiheng to try her best to protect Gu Yingyue, but after calling his name, she thought about it, how could she pull another person into danger?
When the words came to her lips, she stopped again.
Cheng Yiheng heard her call herself, but she didn't speak, so she asked, "What's the matter?"
She looked at him and changed her words: "If we leave, we won't be able to come back to Xuncheng, so I'll say goodbye to you." ”
Cheng Yiheng was silent for a moment and nodded: "Well, when you have the opportunity, you will secretly contact me and tell me where you are, I can go to see you." ”
After he finished speaking, he remembered something and felt in his pocket.
Suddenly, he heard a shout, and the things he wanted to take had not yet been taken out, and this group of people was illuminated in an instant.
