Chapter 125: Cat and Mouse Game (2)
The coffin was slowly pushed open, and the scene inside was revealed to everyone.
Qi Chongyu stood closest and saw it most clearly. Lying in the coffin was an old woman of about seventy years old, whose skin had dried up and was covered with age spots and corpse spots. Even on an autumn day, the old woman's body was already festering, her face was blurred, and a disgusting smell came to her face.
Seeing this scene, the old lady who was watching from the side suddenly burst into tears: "Ancestor, you have worked hard all your life to run this family when you are alive, and you are not at peace when you die, and someone wants to open your coffin!"
The old lady cried more and more miserably, and those who heard it were sad, and those who heard it wept.
"Childe, this ...... Still don't look at it. Even Qi Chongyu's scholar saw that his scalp was numb, and he couldn't help but pull Qi Chongyu's sleeve and said.
Qi Chongyu didn't have any disgust or horror on his face, he looked at the person in the coffin like an object, and was not even disturbed by the old lady's crying.
Gu Shuiyue, who was lying in the coffin, naturally felt the sharp eyes.
She held her breath and fell into a state of flux. This moment is a moment related to her life and death.
After a while, Qi Chongyu not only did not leave, but instead got closer to the coffin, lowered his head, and leaned very close to Gu Shuiyue.
Gu Shuiyue heard an extremely soft laugh.
At this time, even the old lady forgot to cry and watched this scene in amazement.
"What are you going to do to the old ancestor?" asked the old lady sharply.
Qi Chongyu straightened up and said, "I'm thinking, this old ancestor must have been a beautiful woman who captivated the country and the city when he was young. ”
The old lady was stunned for a moment, wiped away her tears, and said casually: "Of course, the old ancestor was a famous beauty in ten miles and eight towns when he was young. ”
Qi Chongyu took two steps back: "I just confirmed, the ancestor of your mansion...... Probably not the person I'm going to arrest. ”
The old lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Cover the coffin. The old lady said.
The lid was closed again, and the person carrying the coffin was almost rested, carrying the coffin and continuing on the road.
After walking a long distance, they stopped again in a ruined temple and continued to rest.
The people carrying the coffin were all resting outside, and there were only three people in the temple: Gu Shuiyue, the old princess and Gongsun Lin. Gongsun Lin opened the coffin to let Gu Shuiyue breathe, and he went to the door to guard in case anything happened.
"That Qi Chongyu didn't follow, the old body was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, fortunately he didn't recognize you. The old lady sat against the coffin, wiped the hot sweat from her forehead, and said.
This pampered old princess is indeed different from ordinary people.
After the Yunwang Mansion was surrounded, she only needed Gu Shuiyue's oath to be her old princess in peace. After Gu Shuiyue used tricks to get them out of the emperor's encirclement, the old lady quickly accepted the status quo and cooperated with Gu Shuiyue to perform one scene after another, each scene was extremely thrilling. The fact that their group was able to go from Liangcheng to Mingzhou City had nothing to do with the performance of this old lady.
Gu Shuiyue sat up from the coffin, those disguises completely concealed her true face, and also covered her very ugly face.
"Qi Chongyu has already recognized me. Gu Shuiyue said.
The old lady's face was full of disbelief: "How is it possible? Besides, if he found out, why didn't he arrest you just now?"
Qi Chongyu rode a donkey, and the scholar acted as a porter, pulling the donkey forward.
"Childe, where is this Gu Shuiyue hiding?Is she already out of Mingzhou City, or will she not come to Mingzhou City at all?Do you want to use other methods to find it?" The scholar said worriedly.
The person riding on the donkey looked leisurely and complacent: "My son has found her." Ben Gongzi thought she was some kind of difficult character, but it turned out to be nothing more than that. ”
"Childe, what did you say, where is Gu Shuiyue?"
"Lying in the coffin just now. Qi Chongyu said.
"Ah, the old lady, why don't you arrest her?" said the scholar.
"Wouldn't it be too boring to catch her like this? Cat and mouse, that's what you enjoy. Qi Chongyu said, "I enjoyed the horror of the rats, but there was no way to escape, and I was desperate little by little, and finally I could only obediently fall into my hands." ”
The scholar looked at Qi Chongyu with a malicious smile on his face, and finally understood: "Ah, son, why are you so evil?"
"Isn't life boring?" Qi Chongyu said with a smile, "Let's go, go and scare the rats again." ”
In the ruined temple at the top of the mountain.
"Old lady, have you ever heard of the 'cat and mouse game'?" Gu Shuiyue said, "Qi Chongyu may be enjoying the fun of this game." ”
The old lady quickly understood what she meant: "Then what should I do? I don't want this coffin that is in the way, and while he is away, let's run quickly." ”
"Run, can't run out of Mingzhou City. Gu Shuiyue propped her head and said, her brows furrowed slightly.
"Could it be that Mingzhou City is our burial place?" the old lady couldn't help but say.
"Since Qi Chongyu likes to play, then I will play with him. The corners of Gu Shuiyue's mouth pulled out a sneer.
With that, he lay back in the coffin, and the lid of the coffin was closed again.
Sure enough, after a while, Qi Chongyu rode his donkey into the ruined temple.
"Young Master Qi, what a coincidence!" the old lady's face was not very good-looking, and she said coldly.
Qi Chongyu walked to the coffin as if he didn't see her face: "I was quite offended by the old ancestor before, so Qi wanted to make up for it and give the old ancestor a ride." ”
The old lady's face suddenly changed: "No need!"
"Why don't you have to, our son is also very kind!" said the scholar, "Could it be that you are hiding something, and your heart is empty?"
"Since Qi Gongzi wants to send it, then send it. The old lady gritted her teeth.
Qi Chongyu stood by the coffin for a while, and then found that there were still people lying inside, and combined with the performance of the old woman in front of him, it could be seen that Gu Shuiyue didn't notice that he already knew her disguise. Otherwise, if she had seen through, Gu Shuiyue would have fled.
He originally thought that this was a formidable opponent, but he didn't expect it to be a good opponent.
After resting for half an hour, the broken temple continued on the road, but there was one more person in the funeral procession, which looked very eye-catching.
"Qi Gongzi, it has been sent here, and it will soon be at the place where it is buried, please go back to Qi Gongzi." The old lady said.
According to their plan, it was to continue to enter Xichuan with the same scheme.
However, what they didn't expect was that there would be an extra tail of Qi Chongyu on the road, this strategy obviously couldn't be used, they could only find a suitable opportunity to get rid of Qi Chongyu, and then release Gu Shuiyue and then escape.
It's just that they've missed the best time.
Qi Chongyu would never give them this chance again.
"To give a funeral to the ancestors, it is natural to see the ancestors buried in the ground. ”
So, the coffin could only continue to be carried forward.
After lifting a distance, I saw that I was about to go down the mountain, and I couldn't continue to lift it down, otherwise I would be exposed.
"Qi Gongzi, this tomb has not been laid yet, and it needs to be buried when the tomb is ready. The old lady said.
"That's right, Qi can just do his best. Qi Chongyu said.
Qi Chongyu said and looked for tools: "Since there is no ready-made tomb, the old lady should bring the tools to dig the tomb, right?"
The old lady gritted her teeth and said, "Naturally, I brought it." ”
Qi Chongyu took off his own clothes, this person looked like a scholar, but when he took off his clothes, he revealed his knotted muscles, his arms were strong, he held a hoe, and he brought up a piece of dirt with a swing.
The coffins were also dug up with Qi Chongyu. They took a lot of money, so they didn't complain, they just wanted to finish their work early and leave, so they worked very hard.
Two hours later, a tomb had been dug just as the coffin had been placed.
"This tomb has been dug up, so let's bury it as soon as possible. ”
"Let's bury it early, it's not going to be good when it's dark. Others chimed in.
The old lady had no choice at all.
"Mother, you can't be buried!" Gongsun Lin said, "He just did it on purpose, asking us to bury Gu-Old Ancestor!"
"Aren't you coming all the way to let your ancestors return to their homeland?" Qi Chongyu asked rhetorically.
The faces of the old lady and Gongsun Lin were extremely ugly, and the face of the one lying in the coffin must not be able to see where to go.
The more panicked they became, the more joyful Qi Chongyu became, this is the fun of cat catching mice, watching the mouse hold on but there is no way to escape.
"Buried!" said the old lady, gritting her teeth.
Gongsun Lin wanted to stop it, but he was not Qi Chongyu's opponent, and with a twist of his hand, the sword in Gongsun Lin's hand fell to the ground. Gongsun Lin had to watch the coffin containing Gu Shuiyue be buried, and then covered with soil.
Gongsun Lin's eyes widened, but he was helpless.
Gongsun Lin and the old lady did not leave, and Qi Chongyu did not leave.
"Two, it's already dark, it's time to go down. "It was Qi Chongyu who lost his patience first.
"I'm not leaving!" said Gongsun Lin.
The old lady was ruthless, took Gongsun Lin's hand and said, "The old ancestor has been buried in the earth, and we should also go." ”
The old lady pulled Gongsun Lin away.
Gongsun Lin refused, so she said: "What the ancestor wants to see is not that we accompany her, but that we want to live well!"
What she meant in her words was that Gongsun Lin gave up resistance and followed her down the mountain.
Under the sunset, Qi Chongyu stood next to the new grave with a mocking smile on his face: "Gu Shuiyue, you tried everything possible to save people, but in the end, no one saved you." They've left you behind. ”
No one responded to him.
Qi Chongyu stood quietly for a while, and then said to the scholar, "Let's dig up the grave together." ”
"Childe, it's immoral to dig a grave! After so long, Gu Shuiyue should also lose his breath, right? You can also go back to the errand. The scholar said.
"Before she could breathe, I left an opening for her to breathe, after all, I promised Your Majesty that I would give him a living person. ”
Qi Chongyu and the scholar teamed up to dig up the grave, and then lifted the coffin together.
When Qi Chongyu saw the scene in the coffin, his face couldn't help but change. There was no festering woman inside, but a pile of clothes! He rushed forward in disbelief, turning all the clothes inside, and even almost dismantling the coffin, but he did not find the person he wanted.
Qi Chongyu originally thought that he was the cat, enjoying the fear and helplessness of the mouse, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would be the one who was played around!
