Chapter 4: I'm on the Run (Part II)
The news from the three guards quickly reached the ears of the water crane, and the water crane hall at night was brightly lit, as bright as day, and wisps of slightly pungent flower fragrance wafted out, indicating that the water crane was already very angry.
Smallpox can't spit out words, but it can use its own floral fragrance to convey what it wants to convey.
"Find her out, she must be crushed into a prison of ugliness, and the words of the spiritual priest must not be believed. When she encounters an ugly flower, sooner or later she will infect the whole world!"
In the Water Crane Temple, bow down to these three people, these three people are the three guards who chased Nahir yesterday.
"But... "It is clear that no one wants to go to such a place, a place where they don't even deserve the mark of smallpox.
"It's nothing good, all the people in the slave village who have been in contact with her are pressed into the ugly prison, and if they touch her, they will all be infected, if you are not careful, you will infect all the people in the city, what should you be guilty of. The pungent scent of flowers came out, and the three guards and the guards in the lobby were covered in a cold sweat for this smell, which was undoubtedly a sign of smallpox's anger.
"Then, let's go and get her back...... The three guards crawled out of the Water Crane Hall in a row, and the wrath of smallpox was not something they could bear.
"Lord Shuihe first dissipates his anger, there is no need to be angry with a person who has touched an ugly flower. "A middle-aged man, obese, not to mention a fat man of more than two hundred pounds, half of his body is all imprinted with the mark of rice, after the three guards left, he came to the Water Crane Palace.
"King Hurd?" When the water crane saw this fat man, he hurriedly changed the fragrance of his flowers. This man was the king of the country, named Scheer, Hurd.
"It's not that I'm angry, damn spiritual, to shelter a girl infected with ugly flowers. "The water crane is very smart, it knows very well that the king cannot be easily provoked, and only by controlling him well can it be more conducive to his own survival.
"The spirit priest shelters an infected girl?" Hearing this, Hurd looked at the smallpox water crane in surprise and said, "For what reason, the spirit priest actually went back to shelter the person infected by the ugly flower?"
"Hey, damn spirit, I don't know who I've listened to..."As he spoke, the water crane shook his body for a moment, and then said, "Forget it, don't talk about them, how can King Hud have Yaxing come to my water crane hall today?"
"Oh, I just went to Zhangfang, where the stinky monk told me not to be blinded by noble status and external beauty. I don't understand what I'm talking about, so I'm here to ask for advice. King Hud said with a smile, looking at the crane with a stupid look.
"Ugly monk, why didn't you die sooner! Fortunately, this king's brain doesn't do anything!" Hearing this, Shui He cursed in his heart! Then he looked at King Hud and said, "Maybe the abbot means, don't let the position you are standing now obscure the things in front of you!"
"I still don't understand, forget it. Don't ask, I'm a little sleepy, I'll go back to sleep first, goodbye..."King Hurd yawned, turned and walked out the door.
The water crane greeted behind him: "Your Majesty, go slowly!"
Choulao was located deep underground, swimming along the river in the town to the end, and after diving in, there was a small opening, just enough for a person to swim in.
"Poof!" In the pool, the head of the dispersion poked out, and there was no light in the ugly Lauri, and the darkness that could not be seen in the five fingers could not be seen. Crawl out of the pool and draw the sword, the power of the spirit can illuminate the darkness, with the help of a faint blue light, diffuse the memory to walk in the ugly Lao.
Countless people who had been imprisoned for offending smallpox and touching ugly flowers had come to a cage and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me what to do with the crane against Hill, abbot!"
"Diffuse? Targeted by smallpox, in the end, it can only be reduced to this, if you want to deal with it, only here is the root!" said a deep voice from inside the cage, and said in a helpless tone.
"Hill, she... She's just a thirteen-year-old child, and she's ...... here."
"I know what you're worried about! But where do you think you won't be searched if you hide outside of the ugly prison?"
"This ......"
"Although there is no light here, it is the darkness that makes me know what is ugly and what is beautiful. If you really want to protect the Hill in your mouth, go and get her, or you'll be fleeing if you're away!"
"I'm going to talk to the water crane!" said Misan, picking up his sword and getting up to go back.
"A powerful spiritual priest has told the water crane not to let it move Ciel. Do you think that even if you go, will you be able to change it?"
"I see...... Diffuse said, paused, nodded, and turned to leave again.
At night, at twenty-three o'clock, he broke into the water crane hall and found the water crane. "Who is it, he actually broke into the Water Crane Hall at night and took him down!"
"I'm a spiritual priest!" The blue flames came out, and the people who came to block them retreated one after another, and swaggered into the Water Crane Palace, opened the door and said loudly directly, "Lord Water Crane, I ask you not to get along with a child, you are so high, isn't it degrading your identity to deal with a child?"
"Bastard, you humble spiritual warrior, you dare to break into my Water Crane Palace, come and take him down. Seeing that the water crane was so swaggering, he said angrily. However, no one listened to him, and one of the guards just cowered and said, "Lord Lingshi is a subordinate of the gods, so I forgive you for not offending, and I ask Lord Mizuru to forgive me, and please don't insult the Lingshi." ”
"Damn!" Shui He's heart was full of contempt, and he couldn't help but start scolding this spirit priest in his heart, but it had to stop there, looking at the diffusion, Shui He just nodded lightly and said, "I know, you go back!"
"Thank you!" I never thought that the water crane would be so good at talking, and when I saw that the water crane agreed, I was suddenly a little happy in my heart, and turned around to say goodbye and left the water crane hall.
"Mizuru-sama, do you want to withdraw that little girl's wanted?" asked the guard after he had dispersed and left.
"Stupid, who said that he was going to withdraw, I just promised him, but I didn't say I would do it!"
"This ......" As a subordinate, Shui He said this, and he could only obey the order and retreat with a kind of guard.
The slave village in the early morning and the dusk are like two places, less noble at dusk, more simple, accompanied by a cool breeze blowing through the wheat field, bringing the fragrance of wheat to make people a little intoxicated.
It's not as beautiful as a floral scent, but it's better than a floral scent that makes people can't bear to taste it.
"Zhiqiao, get up Zhiqiao!" The sun shone through the window on Zhiqiao's bed, and Zhiqiao's grandfather called Zhiqiao cautiously beside Zhiqiao's bed.
"Grandpa, I picked a big pumpkin, can you make pumpkin pie for Hill!" Compared to Zhiqiao, Hill seemed much more diligent, and in the morning, he got up early, ran to the farmland, picked a big pumpkin and carried it back.
"Oh, girl, hurry up, give the pumpkin to grandpa, don't be tired of you!" Seeing Hill walking into the door with a pumpkin, Grandpa Qiao didn't want to be distressed, so he hurriedly ran over and took the pumpkin, for fear of being tired Hill: "If you want to eat, tell grandpa, grandpa can go and pick it for you, you little girl, don't be tired!"
"But Mom said that if you want to eat something delicious, you have to help make it, otherwise it won't taste good! Hill doesn't know how to make pumpkin pie, so he doesn't know how to help, so Hill goes and comes back with a pumpkin!" Hill said, holding up his seemingly powerful arm.
"Why don't you get up yet, the sun is scorching your buttocks!" said Hill, wanting to go to Zhiqiao's room.
"Let him sleep, he ran all day yesterday, maybe tired. "In the middle of the night last night, Zhiqiao came back here sweaty, ate something and washed up before falling asleep, and the time was almost early in the morning.
"Grandpa is going to make you pumpkin pie, you are waiting here, ah!" said Grandpa Zhiqiao and walked towards the kitchen, and Hill obediently sat on the bench in the outhouse, quietly looking at the wheat field outside.
"Yo, Grandpa Yan's house is a guest. A little boy walked into the house of Grandpa Zhiqiao. "Grandpa Yan, Mom asked me to bring you some porridge, you can drink it while it's hot!
Grandpa Zhiqiao turned around in the kitchen and took a look: "Oh, Heyue, give Nahir a drink, she hasn't eaten yet!"
"No, this is the porridge that my mother specially brought to you to nourish your stomach, and you must drink it. He Yue walked into the kitchen, looked at where Grandpa Zhiqiao was fiddling with the flour pumpkin, and asked, "Wow, Grandpa Yan, you are making pumpkin pie!"
"Haha, I'll come to grandpa's house to eat when it's ready. ”
"Okay, then I'll go first, there's something going on at home, I'll come over later." He Yue put down the porridge and left.
"Goodbye!" Hill waved his hand at Heyue, who looked at Hill's smiling face, her face couldn't help but blush slightly, and she nodded a little shyly.
After a while, a fragrance wafted out, and Grandpa Zhiqiao walked out with a plate of pumpkin pie: "Pumpkin pie is good! Wait a long time! Come on, come on, eat it while it's hot." ”
"It's so fragrant~" Zhiqiao didn't know when it was gone, he smelled the smell and walked out of the back room, looking at the pumpkin pie on the table, his saliva was about to flow out.
Grandpa Zhiqiao didn't have time to prepare breakfast, and pushed the stomach-nourishing porridge sent by Heyue to Hill.
"Grandpa, this is porridge for you to drink!" Although Hill also wanted to drink it, she understood that this bowl of porridge might be more important to Grandpa Zhiqiao, so she sensibly returned the porridge to Grandpa Zhiqiao.
"You eat first, grandpa is not hungry, grandpa will be fine in a while, it's okay!" Grandpa Zhiqiao repeatedly refused, but in the end he couldn't beat Hill.
"Grandpa Yan, it's not good, there are a lot of guards coming towards us!" He Yue hurriedly ran over, panting and said.
"Something big might have happened, right? The guards never come to visit us!" said Grandpa Zhiqiao as he walked out of the kitchen, holding the pumpkin pie in his hand.
"Guard?" Zhi Qiao walked out of the house, and sure enough, on a small road not far away, three figures wearing guard clothes could be seen: "Grandpa, let's go first, they are here to arrest Hill!"
Zhiqiao took Ciel's hand, Ciel did not resist, she knew the reason why the guards came, it was to find herself, and followed Zhiqiao out of the house and towards the back of the village.
"Grandpa Yan, do you know what's going on?" Seeing the two holding hands and running out in a panic, He Yue felt a little sad in her heart, but she couldn't tell the reason.
"I don't know, but I hope nothing happens to the two children!" Looking at the door, Mi Ziyan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Grandpa, what's mush!" a smell of rice paste wafted out, and He Yue said with a nose.
"Oops, it's bad, the porridge is still boiling on it!" Wen Mi Ziyan slapped his leg and hurriedly got up and ran into the kitchen.
"Zhiqiao, I'm so scared...... I want to see my mother......" ran out of the village, Hill couldn't be strong anymore, seemed to lose dependence, and tears began to flow uncontrollably.
"Why, what the hell, I've been running away, Hill misses his mom so much, Hill wants to go home, Hill doesn't want to be caught......" Wiping the tears in his eyes, Hill cried......
"Don't be afraid, Ciel is strong, didn't Aunt Lian tell Ciel?never be afraid, because it will make Ciel stronger, won't it?" Zhiqiao hugged Ciel, and gently patted Ciel's back with both hands, reassuring her.
"But, isn't Hill very good, why did they arrest Hill, because Hill did something wrong?" Hill couldn't figure out what he had done wrong and why they wanted to arrest Hill.
"Of course Hill is not wrong, they are all bad people, and they caught Hill when they saw that Hill was a bully, so we have to defeat them together......" Looking at Hill with encouraging eyes, Zhiqiao took Hill's little hand again and stretched out towards the rice field.
"Hmm!" Hill nodded deeply, as if inspired by Zhiqiao's words, looking at Zhiqiao who was pulling him, and felt a trace of comfort in his heart.
"Stinky old man, have you seen this girl?" asked the short guard, pinching his nose, to an old man sitting at the entrance of the village.
The old man raised his head and looked carefully at the pictorial in the guard's hand, and looked at it for a long time with a frown, but he couldn't see it clearly. The guard was a little anxious: "Forget it, deaf and blind, what do you ask you for?"
Waving his hand to the two guards behind him, he led the way into the village.
"There's no ...... here"
"It's ...... over here, too"
"Damn, where can that little girl run, search me more carefully, you must be lazy!" said the tall guard, standing in the middle of them, pointing at them with his baton.
"Traces of someone leaving behind the village. The fat guard ran over panting.
"Go after her, it will definitely make her...", and several men ran towards the back of the village with sticks.
After the guards left, He Yue came to Grandpa Zhiqiao's house again: "Grandpa Yan, Grandpa Yan, they know where Hill left, will they be in danger?"
"What are you talking about!" Hearing this, Grandpa Zhiqiao stood up from his seat in a panic and looked at He Yue, looking a little stunned.
"What should Grandpa do, if you don't hurry up, they may be caught!" He Yue was also anxious, looking at Grandpa Zhiqiao, waiting for his answer.
"Alas~" sighed, Grandpa Zhiqiao sat back again, and said helplessly in a low tone: "I can only resign myself to fate, we old men can't stop the guards!" Shaking his head unwillingly, Grandpa Zhiqiao's eyes flashed with tears.
