Chapter Ninety-Eight: Night Walking
At night, it was pitch black outside Huangsha Road, and the wind was colder, but the sand was still hot.
Zhu Yikai touched the ground under him, it was warm and comfortable, but it didn't feel so good when lying here and lying on his body, so this is also the reason why those children were huddled in the hole...... There seemed to be stars shining in the darkness of the night, and it was the children who looked like wild rats watching him.
I heard that Suosuo's voice moved.
"Are you going to die?"
The girl's voice asked, the voice not frightened or sad, only curious.
Although he couldn't see his face in the night, after being together for so long, Zhu Yikai was very familiar with these children, and he squeezed out a smile: "Xiaorong, don't be afraid.." Reaching out and touching his abdomen, where the layers of bandages are tightly wrapped and it looks fine, but in fact, it has a rotten belly....
This result is not unexpected, it is expected, and it is an accident to be able to return here alive.
Of course, the guards around Song Yuan were very powerful, although it was only his daughter over there.
He was the first to be slashed, and when he killed the secret guards outside the inn, he knew how powerful those guards were, so he used the means of righteousness to the end.
He succeeded in killing the guard, but the guard also cut his stomach before he died, and he fainted to death, and when he woke up, he took advantage of the chaos to escape....
The people of the Pan family still failed.
The search in the city was very strict, there were black guards everywhere, he was lucky to hide in the stable of an inn, but fortunately the old man who lived in the stable was dim and deaf and did not find him.... He survived by stealing a piece of dry food and a few bowls of water from the old man, and there was no martial law at the city gate, and he took advantage of the evening when more people went out of the city....
If you die here, no one will pay attention to it, and you will be buried in the sand, just like other Huangsha Dao people.
"If you're going to die, I'll report you. ”
Xiao Rong's voice sounded again.
Zhu Yikai looked over, his vision was blurred, and he could only see a rough outline so close, and the little girl was squatting beside him.
“... I think I can change some food and drink and wear to survive the winter. ”
Xiao Rong's voice continued, serious and a little excited in anticipation.
Zhu Yikai was silent for a moment, smiled, and said: "It should be possible, Lord Song still has a great temper, and the more ruthless he is to the murderer, the more rewards he will give." ”
Xiao Rong said: "Is it??, is it very temperamental?" thought about it and nodded, "Then I'll wait for you to die before reporting to the official... lest thou be beaten and sinned again. ”
Zhu Yikai shook his head and said, "It's not good, it's not good... The dead and the living can exchange things differently. It is better that you sue me when I am dying, so that I will die before I am caught by them and interrogated, and I will not be guilty. ”
Xiao Rong sighed and said in a happy voice: "Okay, good." ”
Zhu Yikai seems to be able to see the little girl's sparkling eyes, just like a child looking forward to the New Year and looking forward to returning from a trip to bring gifts.... It's really a child, a child who never looked forward to it..... "What about Huang Ju?" ”
Xiao Rong said: "Whatever you tell your brother, you will die." "Squat still and don't move.
Yes, you're going to die, you can't do anything, you can't take revenge, you can't kill anyone, you can't even save your own life, what do you have to explain to others.... Zhu Yikai said: "You are right. There was a moment of silence, "Xiaorong, how old were you when your mother died?"
Xiao Rong sighed: "Three or four years old, I don't remember.."
"It's amazing to be able to survive at such a young age. ”
"It's okay... I eat less..."
A question and answer with a match is like a daily chat, not like two people waiting for death, one is waiting for death, and the other is waiting for him to die.
The wilderness wind howled and swallowed up the voice, rolling up the crispy sand, and the withered grass rolled against a stone, it was not a stone, it was a squatting person, Huang Ju lowered his head and scratched a piece on the ground with his fingers, and there were a few shallow lines covered by the wind and sand next to it.....
.....
.....
The brightly lit glass lamp shook for a while, a city gate opened, and the ambilight overflowed instantly, and there was a commotion in front of the city gate.
The soldiers patrolling the city walls couldn't help but look over.
"Someone out of town so late?"
"There are a lot of people.."
"Who can do that?"
After looking around, there was a patrol of the city walking away, and I heard discussions.
"It's Lord Song, Yuan, Song..."
"Why did Lord Song leave the city so late? Didn't you say that he had just been assassinated earlier?"
"Because of the assassination, I have to go out of the city to the Queen's Mausoleum, which is the safest. ”
The two sides whispered and staggered on their way, and at the moment when they parted ways, a figure jumped up from under the city wall and rolled over the wide wall and fell to the other side, his hands and feet pressed against the slippery and cold wall, and he swam downward like a gecko, slowly but very fast.
It turned out that Song Yuan was assassinated in the city before he caught the murderer? Xue Qing stuck on the wall and looked at the city gate not far away, the city gate was brightly lit, the crowd was surging, and the black armor guards had almost passed... The black-armored guards are very polite, but even Lord Song has to be checked, every car and every attendant... The noise is even more chaotic in the quiet of the night.
Xue Qing slid down the city wall and galloped towards the night on the other side.
The sound of rubbing was from fast to slow, and the iron bars were stuck on the ground, and there were no snakes and insects, just sand and soil, and the iron bars were really just bamboo canes.
Xue Qing looked around vigilantly, he didn't know how many black-armored guards were hidden in this dark night.
Suddenly, the horses' hooves scattered, and half of the heavens and earth shook in front of them.
“... My lord, I found out..."
“.. Sure..."
“.. They're going to enter the Queen's Mausoleum..."
"At this time, I fled on all sides...."
“.. Leave the others alone, just tuck it..."
The heavens and the earth shook, and they rolled like thunder, coming and going away, and then drifting away.
Xue Qing sighed lightly while holding on to the iron bar, she doesn't like to owe favors to others the most, so she can't solve it quickly, move forward quickly.
....
....
The earthquake on the ground shook up layers of sand, Huang Ju lowered his head, watching the newly drawn deep traces gradually be covered and lightened.... The people and horses galloping forward and backward, left and right, have been so tight, the entire Huangsha Road is like an iron cage, although no one pays attention to him here, but in the end, he is in the iron cage, who will throw himself into the net?
Huang Ju stretched out his hand and swiped hard again on the traces on the ground, it couldn't be covered, this day and night hadn't passed, it didn't count..... The sound of small footsteps came from the side, and before he could even raise his head, something was pestle in front of him, splashing a circle of sand and dirt, and immediately covering up the traces he had just scratched.
"I'm so tired. Someone sat down next to him and let out a long sigh of relief, "Do you have anything to eat?"
Huang Ju's fingers trembled slightly on the ground, then he withdrew and touched his feet beside him, picked up something and handed it over: "Mouse jerky..."
Xue Qing looked at the things handed over, and when he heard this, he seemed a little embarrassed, and said, "Actually, I just asked casually." ”
Yes, where would people eat this kind of thing, Huang Ju lowered his head and grabbed the rat jerky.... With his hands empty, the rat jerky was taken away.
Xue Qing held it up in front of him and said, "However, it's been a long time since I've eaten anything like this." She opened her mouth to take a bite, chewed it and spit it out and laughed to herself, "No, no, I can't pretend to be so chic and uninhibited... It's hard to go from luxury to frugality. ”
Do not understand.. Huang Ju just looked at the people around him, and in the dark night, he could be seen sitting on his knees with a thin shirt and a bar.
"I've been recuperating from my injuries for a while, so I'm sorry I'm late. Xue Qingdao said, reaching out and pressing it on his body.
Huang Ju hummed and lowered his head, not knowing what to say, Xue Qing didn't speak again, and concentrated on rubbing the sore spot.
In the wilderness night, two people squatting and one sitting were silent.
