Chapter 34: Falling off the Cliff
Hearing that the two were going to get married tonight, Ziruo couldn't sit still anymore, her heart ached, but what could she say? She was just a humble maidservant, who would care what she thought?
"It turns out that my heart is higher than the sky, and as a lowly, I think about my son too much!" Zi Ruo glanced at Hong Jingxiao, who was silent, gently took off the sachet, put it on the chair, and walked out of the justice hall.
The hall was already dim, and at this moment there was a lot of noise, and no one noticed that Ziruo, who was sitting at the end, left, and looked at her back, thinking that it was the maid who served the food and walked out.
Ziruo walked out of the Gathering Hall, there was an open space outside, and the sword and axe hands that were lying in ambush everywhere had already retreated, and at this moment there were only a few whistles outside.
Ziruo avoided the whistle and walked along a deserted mountain path, walking in despair, tears couldn't help but fall, and her heart was full of cramps, thinking: "What did you do to save me in the first place, if you used a tea bowl to smash your neck and die in the Qinglou, would you still be so uncomfortable today? ”
She covered her colicy heart, frowned like a lock, tears had already come, and cried bitterly: "I hate it so much!" I thought of my parents who died, and I remembered that I came to the Hou Mansion when I was young, and the wealthy family was as deep as the sea.
The bitterness in Ziruo's heart is more than ten million!
One hates that his parents are too stupid, martyred in vain, and leaves an orphan baby in this painful world, why don't he take himself away with him! Second, he hates that his son is ruthless, since he can't marry himself, why bother to swear all the way to the mountains and seas, why can't he let himself have so many expectations in his life, those empty promises, why did he completely forget about them in the righteous hall, didn't mention a word, and let someone arrange this marriage. Three hated for their own delusion, she was a servant girl, she kept her duty and was not delusional, why should she take the casual promises of the merry man too seriously, so stupid......!
She smiled stupidly, tears running down the corners of her smiling mouth, salty taste, it turned out that this was what her mother had thought before jumping off the cliff. I am a baby, crying non-stop, and I can't keep my mother, I don't have a little concern today, what is there to be nostalgic in this world?
The mountain road is steep, next to the cliff, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the bottom is not visible.
The mountain wind gently stirred Ziruo's clothes, tears dried up, and her hair was messy.
"Father, mother, my daughter really can't live! This world is too bitter, let's meet underground as a family, I miss you so much!"
Ziruo's lips murmured, tears had become thousands of lines, and she jumped into a leap, as light as a withered flower, disappearing into the clouds and mist of the mountains.
"Got it!" a small child crawled on the cliff face, throwing out a thick vine and tying up a piece of white clothes that had fallen from the cliff.
"It's a woman, and she's already scared. The child shouted, carrying the bundle of vines, and quickly climbed down the cliff hundreds of feet, and an old man on the ground was waiting for him with a cigarette pouch.
The old man untied the vines, rescued the woman in white, laid them on the grass, and took out a dozen pieces of white paper from his bosom, on which were painted portraits.
After careful comparison, the old man smiled and patted the child's head, and said, "It's a big profit, this is Ziruo who has a reward of five thousand taels of silver, one thousand taels more than Zhao Weisong!"
The child was overjoyed and said, "I didn't expect to send it to the door, so will we still go up the mountain?"
The old man coughed violently and said, "Isn't it a death to go up the mountain?" ”
The two of them packed the woman in white in a large cloth bag and carried her back to the foot of the mountain.
It was five or six hours away from Jingnan County even if he rode a horse, so the old man found a nearby farmer, spent a tael of silver and a deposit of twenty taels, hired a broken carriage, put the cloth bag containing the woman in the carriage, and rushed to Jingnan County.
As the carriage bumped all the way, Ziruo in the cloth bag came to his senses, and found himself in an airtight bag, frightened, the carriage galloped on the rugged dirt road, and the hard board under his body hit his body in great pain, so that Ziruo was sure that he was still alive and was caught, and hurriedly struggled.
I heard a child's voice say, "Senior brother, she is still alive and wants to get out of the cloth bag, what should I do, do I want to kill her?"
The old man coughed a few times and said with a smile: "My stupid senior brother, don't you have thorn hemp, every two hours if you stab her, you can't move." ”
The child suddenly realized that Ziruo felt bad, and his body was pricked with thorns and other spikes, which was not very painful, but his body immediately became numb, and he fell to the ground and couldn't move, and his tongue was numb and unable to speak.
The old man drove all the way, coughing incessantly, and said in his heart: "Alas, I am only in my early twenties, I have a strange disease, I have become this ghost, my body has become a bad old man, and I have even lost that function. ”
This old and young are all under the Shenzu Sect, the Shenzu Sect is known for its extremely fast walking speed, good at light skills, only one of the top ten Shenxing people in the world is not from the Shenzu Sect, but unfortunately this sect attaches too much importance to speed, and other kung fu is weaker, and the rivers and lakes are nicknamed the Thirty-six Sect, which means "Thirty-six Strategies to Go to the Upper Count", ridiculing the style of the sect that can't beat and run, and no one can catch up.
The old man's name is Gu Mingtong, his appearance is like an old man, in fact, he is only in his twenties, he suffers from a strange disease, when he first entered the school, his speed is the best in the world, but unfortunately the speed is much slower after getting sick, and he is surpassed by many people.
The child looks like a child, but in fact he is already a middle-aged man in his forties, but when he was in his mother's womb, he was burned into a fool because of his mother's high fever, and his IQ was still stuck at four or five years old when he grew up. But he has great strength and speed, and he is known as the magic boy, no one dares to provoke him, and he is as fierce as a tiger and wolf.
After driving for more than six hours, from daytime to late at night, he finally came to Jingnan County, opened the city gate with the portrait he was holding in his hand, and sent it all the way to Wanxian Tower.
Sun Xun had already heard of the prestige of the Divine Foot Sect, and at this moment he heard his subordinates knocking on the door to report, and the two strange people came to the door with important criminals to ask for a meeting, and they were so happy that they didn't even have time to put on their shoes, and rushed out of the room barefoot.
Sun Xun sighed: "The appearance of the two is different from ordinary people, it is really a capable person with a different appearance, and people cannot look like it! I have received a letter during the day, and I heard that the two of them have caught Ziruo, I don't know where now?"
Gu Ying Passage: "General, are you ready for five thousand taels?"
Sun Xun was stunned for a moment, seeing that he was so direct, and the people who knew the rivers and lakes were not informal, he didn't think it was strange, and said with a smile: "Of course." As he spoke, he took out five silver tickets from his bosom and said, "Is it enough?"
Gu Mingtong smiled, took the silver ticket, counted it a few times, and said, "Enough, the general is really generous." ”
Sun Xun knew that it was too late to find the household department to exchange the silver for the bounty, so he took his own silver, and he knew that as long as he captured Hong Jingxiao and handed it over to the imperial court, the saint would be overjoyed, not to mention five thousand taels of silver, ten thousand taels of gold! Not to mention that it was not easy to make a fortune if he was added to the rank of official and knighted?
Gu Mingtong snapped his fingers, and the demon boy rushed into the carriage and carried in the large cloth bag containing Ziruo.
opened the cloth bag, revealing Ziruo's frightened eyes, along the way, he had to be stabbed by thorn numb every two hours, and he had to endure hunger and urine, plus he didn't know who tied him up, whether he was going to be sent to the capital Ling Chi to be executed, and his heart almost collapsed.
At this moment, seeing that he had come to a familiar place, Wanxian Tower, Ziruo was terrified: "Could it be that the old bustard sent someone to arrest me and prepare to force me to be an official prostitute?"
After that, Ziruo was taken out of the cloth bag by two maids and sent to a room.
Immediately, a woman from the Western Regions came in, touched Ziruo's face, and stared at her repeatedly, which made her heart furious: "What does this high-nosed foreign woman want to do?"
Sun Xun discussed with everyone in the room how to set up an ambush and lure Hong Jingxiao and his party to Wanxian Tower.
Ayina asked curiously, "I admit that this girl is very beautiful, but can she attract Hong Jingxiao to come here to rescue him regardless of the danger?" ”
Sun Xun rubbed his big hands and said with a smile: "There is no doubt about it, he will definitely come, I know the state of mind of a fourteen-year-old boy best, how to make Hong Jingxiao in the bandit's den know and be sure that Ziruo is in Wanxian Tower, and he will be used as an official prostitute soon?"
Gu Mingtong coughed a few times and said, "Our brothers and sisters can take the risk to go, but that's it!" he rubbed his fingers and gestured for money.
Sun Xun naturally knew what the two meant, and the others were a little disgusted with the money of the two people, but Sun Xun liked it very much, as long as the person who loves money gave enough money, there was not so much trouble, but there were not a few silver tickets in his arms, and he couldn't help but feel a little painful, and said: "Please go to the two of you first, I have prepared a thousand taels of silver, and I will give it when I come back." ”
Gu Ming informed the rules that only after he had done his job and came back alive could he get the money, so he prepared to go to Shenlong Village.
Unexpectedly, a masked spy rushed outside the door, and when he reached Sun Xun's side, he whispered a few words in his ear.
Sun Xun laughed and said, "You don't have to take this risk, the spies in front of me have already found that Hong Jingxiao and a few masters have already gotten off Shenlong Village and are coming to Jingnan County." ”
Gu Mingtong asked strangely, "How did they know that this woman was sent to Jingnan County?"
Sun Xun said: "Did you two rent a carriage to come?"
Gu Mingtong realized that when he was renting a carriage, the peasant household watched them go towards Jingnan County, this peasant lived under the Shenlong Village, and had close contact with the village, so he must have felt suspicious and reported it to the mountain, so that Hong Jingxiao and others learned this information.
It can be seen that Shenlongzhai deeply understands that rabbits do not eat the grass on the edge of the nest, and treats the surrounding people very preferentially, so they can always get any suspicious clues about the officers and soldiers, and take precautions as soon as possible, so that the previous bandits will return home.
"Hong Jingxiao and the others are estimated to have set off for three or four hours, and they will arrive in an instant, please work together to kill the enemy, and everyone's reward will not be spent in a lifetime. Sun Xun said.
Bai Cangweng and the others originally came for money, and their eyes turned red when they heard the silver, and they said: "General rest assured, the old man will go all out to kill the enemy, even if Zhao Weisong, the scum of the sect, hand it over to me, I will let him die here!"
Sun Xun calculated, there are about ten masters on the other side, and although there are only five on our side, as long as Ayina's disguise technique does not make mistakes and passes the test in confusion, Hong Jingxiao will definitely be captured.
So, Sun Xun said: "Hong Jingxiao is the first offender, don't lose a big one because of a small one, as long as Hong Jingxiao is caught, we will be considered successful, and we don't have to fight." ”
Ziruo was shocked and regretful in her heart, but she didn't expect that she couldn't find death, but instead became a lever for coercion, causing her son to come to break into this net for himself, in case something happened to him, he might as well die.
However, she has a vague idea in her heart that she doesn't dare to pick clearly, the son attacked late at night and came to Wanxian Tower to save himself, indicating that he did not get married today, did not enter the cave room, and when the time comes, it is better for the two of them to die together than to die for the sake of the negative person, but she doesn't dare to think like this, this idea is too selfish.
In fact, most women who are indulged in love are not extremely selfish, even if they have a little love, they are not willing to share it with others.
We all know that this is not good, this is not worth it, but when love is so much that I can't extricate myself, who can soberly retreat with my whole body?
