It takes only one or two hours to take a carriage from Weijiazhuang to Zhanghe Town, and it is more than half a day to walk. Wei Yunhai set off before dawn, and this will be like the sun, and it will be about the west position overhead. According to Wei Yunhai's usual footsteps, this situation is enough for the two of him to go back and forth.

But he hasn't come back yet.

Outside the window, it was raining heavily, and I couldn't see anything.

Zhang Xing fidgeted and felt out of breath.

The little brother doesn't know why he keeps crying.

While collecting things, Wei Minwu stretched his neck to look outside, and asked, "Little brother, it doesn't matter, right?"

Zhang Xing was uneasy, and replied, "Second brother, how many people are there with you?"

Wei Minwu glanced at Zhang Xing, but still didn't answer.

Zhang Xing knew that Wei Minwu was for her good, so she didn't say anything about herself, but she was really worried in her heart. Ask again.

Wei Minwu grabbed her arm, but comforted her and said, "Xing'er, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

Zhang Xing looked at him and stopped talking.

The things are put away to prevent getting wet. Zhang Xing covered the burden with another layer of oilcloth. She saw Wei Minwu sitting on a stool in a daze, and poured a cup of hot tea with him. When he picked it up, his hand slipped inexplicably, and the tea cup fell to the ground, making a snapping sound.

Zhang Xing looked at it in a daze, her heart pounding. Wei Minwu was already squatting down to collect it, but she pulled Wei Minwu up and asked, "Second brother, where do you meet with someone?"

Wei Minwu looked at her stunned. Zhang Xing couldn't say why, she only felt uneasy. didn't explain it to Wei Minwu, picked up the table burden and tied it to Wei Minwu. While saying, "Second brother, you leave now." ”

Wei Minwu still asked. Zhang Xing took an oil umbrella and pushed him out of the door.

Fu Xianglian heard them pulling. also went out, hugged the little brother and looked at Zhang Xing and Wei Minwu in surprise, and asked, "Min Wu, where are you going?" She didn't know what Wei Minwu was going to do.

Zhang Xing replied: "I'll talk to you in detail when I'm back." ”

She half-pushed and half-pulled Wei Minwu to the gate of the courtyard, opened the courtyard door, stretched out her head to look outside, and there was a white rain curtain as far as her eyes could see, and there was no figure outside, only the sound of rain falling.

Zhang Xing was about to turn his head. Suddenly, an unusual noise was heard in the midst of a commotion. She poked her head out of the jaw, squinting her eyes to take a closer look. A few jumping black shadows gradually appeared in the white expanse, and the horse's hooves leaped up, and suddenly landed, making a kicking sound, as if stepping into her heart.

She held her breath and slammed the gate shut. Then he grabbed Wei Minwu's hand and rushed home.

Wei Minwu didn't know what to do, and was about to ask each other, when he also heard the rapid sound of horses' hooves swarming outside. Fu Xianglian, who was standing on the eaves, also changed her face suddenly. looked at Wei Minwu and Zhang Xing holding hands in fear.

Zhang Xing pulled Wei Minwu back under the eaves, stopped and said, "Wait for me." She ran into her room, took the bow under the bed, and carried it on her back. I went out again. Pulled Wei Minwu up and said in a low voice, "Go through the back door." ”

Wei Minwu nodded hurriedly. Zhang Xing pulled Wei Minwu and ran to the back door, while looking back at Fu Xianglian, who was pale and at a loss.

The Wei family compound is surrounded by blue bricks. Out of the back door of the main house is the backyard, in the yard there are thatched houses, pigsties and chicken pens. Out of the backyard door is a river. Zhang Xing Wei and Min Wu came to the small door of the backyard. Zhang Xing first leaned in to hear the sound outside, and made sure that the people in front of him had not come around. Only then did he open the small door lightly and pulled Wei Minwu straight to the river.

On a rainy day in September and October, although the river water was not biting, when Zhang Xing jumped into the river, it was still shivering with cold. But they didn't care so much, the two crossed the river, and when they turned around, the Wei family's compound was surrounded by a surging black belt in a white expanse.

Wei Minwu looked back at the door, his emaciated face was pale without a trace of blood, and he was panting rapidly. Zhang Xing grabbed him and dragged him to the field.

The big raindrops fell on the body and hurt and hurt, and the sky and the earth were white. But Wei Min Wuda grew up here, and he is very familiar with this place, even if he closes his eyes, he will not get lost. He ran ahead, and Zhang Xing followed.

The two ran for a while, both of them out of breath. Wei Minwu is especially serious, he has suffered a lot in the past year, and his body is not as good as before, so he stopped and only gasped.

Zhang Xing's ears were sharp, and he heard the sound of horses' hooves chasing after him, so he hurriedly pulled Wei Minwu and continued to run wildly.

"River, river, go to the other side of the Huai River......" Wei Minwu said to Zhang Xing as he ran.

Zhang Xing knew the location of the Huai River, and after listening to it, he pulled Wei Minwu and ran to the river embankment. The two went up the embankment. In September and October, the vegetation begins to decay. The embankment had been blistered and had been slippery for a long time. Wei Minwu was careless for a while, his feet slipped, and even Zhang Xing almost rolled down from the river embankment.

The two of them helped each other to get up, and someone shouted: "Chase, chase, they are on the embankment, don't let go of the thief." ”

"Let's go. Zhang Xing pulled Wei Minwu and shouted.

The two of them went up to the embankment, and condescendingly saw that there were already four or five big horses running under the embankment. On the other side of the embankment is the boiling water. September and October were originally the season when the water level of the Huai River fell, but because of the heavy rain, the water level of the Huai River rose sharply, and there was actually a ferocity of the May flood season.

Zhang Xing saw that the pursuers were not far away, so he simply stood still, took off the bow and crossbow behind him, put on an iron arrow, and aimed at an arrow.

There was a terrible scream from under the embankment, and suddenly the people shouted and the horses neighed into a mess. Wei Minwu looked at Zhang Xing with wide eyes.

After Zhang Xing released three arrows in a row, he saw the pursuers under the river embankment hurriedly looking for shelter, and then said to Wei Minwu: "Second brother, let's go." ”

The two of them ran along the embankment again. Zhang Xing heard the sound of horses' hooves behind her, and couldn't help shouting, "Second brother." ”

Wei Minwu said as he ran: "It's in front." ”

After Zhang Xing ran behind Wei Minwu for a while, he saw a canopy boat parked on the river. On the surface of the boat stood three men wearing hats, looking up the river embankment. Zhang Xing heard someone say, "It's Min Wu, Min Wu is here." ”

Someone panicked and said, "It's not good, there are chasing soldiers." ”

"Min Wu. Quick, fast. Fast. ”

Wei Minwu jumped on the boat and stretched out his hand to Zhang Xing: "Xing'er." Come here. ”

Zhang Xing's gaze shifted from Wei Minwu's face to the three people behind him. But the rain was too heavy, and the other party was wearing a hat, and she couldn't really see it.

"Apricot, get on board. Wei Minwu shouted anxiously.

Zhang Xing had already heard the sound of horses' hooves and the shouts of the pursuers behind her, she looked at Wei Minwu and shook her head, then squatted down and pushed the boat away from the river bank in one fell swoop.

"Apricots. Wei Minwu shouted.

Zhang Xing saw that he was about to take the oar, but he was pressed down. The ship drifted away. Zhang Xing turned around at this time, and the horse on the river embankment had already swooped over here.

Zhang Xing asked the village blacksmith master to shoot ten iron arrows. Fang has already released three. She took her arrows and took her bow, aiming at the approaching horses, and then shot the remaining seven iron arrows. The sound of people shouting and neighing sounded, and several people had fallen on the embankment.

She touched the air with one hand, and knew that the iron arrow behind her back had been released. There are still horses coming on the embankment. After she looked at it twice, she reflexively plunged into the Huai River.

The Huai River was so fast that it was far from being comparable to any river she had crossed, and she threw her bow and crossbow, and it took a lot of effort to swim out of a whirlpool. Still did not dare to show his face on the shore, and dived and swam along the riverbank.

As the rain began to lighten, she looked out into the river, and there was no end to the embankment on either side. There are twists and turns, rain and fog, and there is no half of a figure in sight.

Only then did she dare to come ashore. As soon as she came ashore, she realized the cold. So he cowered and ran forward, not daring to stop.

After running for a while. She went into a wood, and then slowed down.

The drizzle covered the woods with a light layer of smoke, and she rested against a large tree. The heart gradually calmed down, and then I realized that I was afraid.

She thought she had injured at least seven or eight people today, and she didn't know how many of them would survive.

Wei Minwu left by boat with a group of people he didn't know. I don't know if they can escape.

The rain was too heavy. Those who pursued were afraid that they would not be able to find the boat for a while. She has killed so many people, and she can't escape the big crime of rebellion now. But the rain was too heavy, and they were far away. She couldn't see the other party's face clearly, and it was estimated that the other party couldn't see who she was. It is estimated that this crime will have to be added to Wei Minwu and them.

Anyway, it's already a capital crime, and if you add one or two, it doesn't matter much.

Anyway, Wei Minwu had already fled.

He will go northwest.

As long as he is not caught by them, this capital crime will not be realized.

They can't care much anymore, and staying alive is always at the forefront of everything.

Zhang Xing leaned against the big tree and thought for a long time, feeling that she should be fine, so she came out of the woods. It was drizzling, and smoke was rising from the distance from the homes. It was evening.

She was tired, cold, and hungry, and looked around. She is no stranger to this place, she has walked many times before, it is the road from Weijiazhuang to Lizhuang Village.

Standing here, it is not far from Lizhuang Village. She pondered for a moment. If she returns home, with her appearance, if she meets the group of pursuers, I am afraid that she will attract some unnecessary suspicion. It's better to go to Lizhuang Village. Find Li Youshi to borrow clothes to wear, and then go back clean.

Zhang Xing made up his mind, so he went to Lizhuang Village, and met a few farmers on the way who were either carrying cattle or carrying farm tools. Those people didn't pay much attention to her - what was so strange about it raining so hard and drenching in soup?

When Zhang Xing arrived in Lizhuang Village, the sky was already dark. When it rains, it always gets dark early.

Li Dahe's family was having dinner, and when they saw her, they were surprised. Zhang Xing lowered her head and said with a smile: "I came from Buhe Village. ”

Li Youshi suddenly realized. Buhe Village is Ye Hexiang's mother's home, Ye Hexiang's virtue, everyone knows the way. Her sister-in-law is also a well-known spicy person in these villages. Zhang Xing couldn't stay in Buhe Village, that was too normal.

Li You turned around and Li Dahe, who had not yet figured it out, and came over to invite Zhang Xing to dinner. After pulling this one, I realized that Zhang Xing was soaked. She hurriedly pulled Zhang Xing into the room, took out a new dress she made during the Chinese New Year last year, asked Zhang Xing to change into it, and said, "I have only worn this set of clothes once, you can quickly change it, don't attract the cold."
