Chapter 32: Qingliang Mountain
Qing He rubbed his eyes and put on his clothes and opened the door, but as soon as he opened it, a strange man walked into the yard with a anxious face, then stretched his head out, looked around several times, and made sure that no one was following, so he immediately closed the door.
"Who are you? What are you doing at my house? Qinghe's sleepiness hadn't subsided yet, so she didn't have time to stop the other party when she came in, so she was a little stunned and watched him rush to the middle of the yard before coming back to pull her.
"Miss Xu, I am a person sent by Elder Chen, I have something very important to tell you, you come to the house quickly, the situation is urgent, and there is no room for wasting time."
When Qing He heard Old Chen, he immediately woke up in fright, thinking that something had happened to Old Chen, so he quickly went to the small hall with the corner of his clothes and lit the candlestick, "What's wrong with Old Chen?" Say it quickly! She looked at the man as she spoke, and almost knocked the candlestick over, but fortunately the other man was quick to get up.
"Miss Xu, the big thing is not good, you can't stay in this Kaiyang City, Elder Chen asked me to take you out!"
"What?" Qing He lost his voice and his eyes widened, obviously not understanding what was happening now.
"Qingqing...... Who is it? โ
At this time, Erbai also woke up when he heard the stranger's movement, and his sleepy eyes were hazy and he lifted the door curtain to reveal half of his face, and the moment he saw the stranger, his sharp gaze suddenly stabbed over, and the man jumped up on his back, and turned his head to see that it was Erbai who let go of his clenched fist.
He remembered the precautions that Old Chen had explained when he came, especially telling him not to mess with this girl and try to follow her in everything.
"The villain's name is Li Hua, and today my spy from the prefect's Zhang Hai family came back to report that Zhang Peng, the second son of the Zhang Hai family, planned a vicious thing."
Li Hua just mentioned "Zhang Peng" Qinghe's heart sank, and even his right eyelid began to beat non-stop.
The left eye jumps wealth, and the right eye jumps disaster.
A strong uneasiness surged in Qing He's heart.
Zhang Peng's man, no, Qinghe bit his lower lip, since that accident, he was secretly diagnosed by the doctor that he might "not lift" for the rest of his life, and the whole person has become a vicious villain who is neither yin nor yang, always thinking about how to calculate others, and judging the two of them three years ago.
When he mentioned this person, Qing He's heart was shocked.
"It turned out that he stole a particularly valuable jade seal from Zhang Hai, and then he didn't know where he threw it, and told his father Zhang Hai that it was taken by you, and there was a girl who testified that you asked her for directions to Zhang Hai's house at that time, and Zhang Hai was furious at that time, saying that he came to arrest you early this morning, and it was too late, and it was not dawn today, girl, you had to escape from the city."
Smack-
As soon as Li Hua finished speaking, he heard something loud, and he turned his head to look at Erbai with Qinghe. But she saw that the wooden door frame that she was holding on to was unknowingly broken off by her, and the debris and dust floated everywhere.
"Erbai?" Qing He hurriedly ran over, pulled her under the lamp and looked at the other party's hand before relieving his heart, "No matter how bad the mood is, if you are angry, you can't joke with your body, do you hear?" If I am not by your side in the future, you have to know how to take care of your ......" Halfway through his words, he was suddenly covered by a hand, and Qing He glanced at Erbai suspiciously.
"You said Zhang Peng deliberately framed him? Are you sure? Erbai covered Qing He's mouth, she didn't want to hear Qing He say something like that, so she opened her mouth to change the topic. And Li Hua, who was looking at her, only felt that the woman in front of her had sharp eyes, with a somewhat murderous look, which was a world of difference from the women he had seen.
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I told Elder Chen, he asked me to come to you and take you away." After Li Hua finished speaking in a hurry, Erbai let go of her hand, and she said even more calmly than Qinghe: "I believe him, although I don't know what kind of character that Chen Lao is, but I know that he is not a wicked person, Qingqing, wake up that kid, we will leave overnight." โ
After speaking, he pushed Qinghe into the room, "You go and clean up the important softness, I'll call Qingyang boy." โ
"You wait here, we're fast, it's not too late to explain on the way, if I find out that you lied to us, I'll let you walk around without eating." Erbai glanced at Li Hua before leaving, his eyes were like knives about to twist to the bottom of his heart, making the latter feel cold from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but nod.
Fortunately, Chen Lao told him not to conflict with this girl, otherwise it is unknown what would have happened.
There was an unbelievable sense of unreality when Qinghe was pushed in, obviously it was normal yesterday, why did the world turn upside down and everything changed when he got asleep? There is also Erbai, which is becoming more and more unfamiliar.
After listening to Erbai's cruel words, Qinghe woke up like a dream, quickly ran to the box and squatted down, took out all the broken silver and copper plates inside, took out a piece of cloth and put this in, and then took out Erbai's original clothes, and was about to turn around, when she suddenly stopped moving, she touched the bottom of the box a few times, with disbelief on her face.
"Where's the jade piece?" She touched it a few more times, but before she could put down her clothes, she ran to the door and shouted 'Erbai'.
Erbai thought something was going on, and just turned Qingyang out of the quilt and immediately turned back quickly to find Qinghe, and unconsciously used his kung fu.
"What happened? Qingqing, are you alright? She guarded Qinghe behind her and looked at Li Hua, who looked innocent and raised his hand to show his innocence.
Qing He raised the clothes in his hand, "Have you ever turned over this?" โ
"What is this?" Erbai touched the fabric, "What did I wear before?" โ
Qinghe nodded.
"I don't have anything to do with it, what's wrong?"
"The jade tiger you brought with you before is gone, what can I do! I just put it in the box, why did it disappear? No outsiders came in the house. Qinghe was so anxious that Erbai thought about it and comforted her.
"If you lose it, you will lose it, just a broken jade piece, can it be more important than our safety? The most important thing now is to escape from here first, Zhang Hai's prefect was not very good, and he was fanned by his son, I don't think the matter is small. โ
Qinghe seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, nodded after hearing this, and hurriedly packed the package, and when he got dressed and left the back room, Qingyang also rubbed his eyes and got up.
"Sister, what's going on? Where are we going? โ
Qing He hugged his younger brother and touched his hair that was a little messy, "We are hiding from the enemy, that Zhang Peng refuses to let us go, and it hurts you." โ
Qingyang buried himself in his sister's arms seriously, gritted his teeth, and his face was full of resentment towards that Zhang Peng.
"Sister, why doesn't he let us go? When we let him get hurt, didn't you hurt your face too, sister? โ
Erbai listened quietly on the side, his eyes sank, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't speak.
Hearing his brother's words, Qing He touched his face and was silent for a long time, "Maybe it's because they are the children of the official family, and we are just ordinary people, so let's forget all these things." โ
"It's almost dawn, girl, come with me, at this time, there will be Yexiang's car going out, I'll go to tune the tiger away from the mountain and take you away." After speaking, Li Hua went out first, and the three people behind followed carefully.
Every day when it is time to go, there will be a night fragrance car out of the city, which generally does not need to be opened to check, so Li Hua bought the man who pulled the car and dropped the car, and the three of them were packed in an empty bucket and transported out of the car.
"Don't speak, don't make a sound no matter what you encounter, it's best to bite your clothes directly, and make a sound will be in vain."
"Old Chen is for your good, as for the identity matter, he didn't let me say it, so I don't want to talk too much."
"Take care, everyone, and hope you have a safe journey."
When Qing He was bumping all the way on the barrel, his heart was almost ridiculous. The kind old man I have known for a few months has a great background? How did the peaceful life be shattered? Did she still lose to that villain Zhang Peng?
She couldn't help but laugh when she thought of this, so she bit the corner of her clothes harder, and even bit her sleeves and bit her lips, okay, it's really good, it's really good to be bullied!
Suddenly, something warm approached her, and a hand touched her mouth, pulling the sleeve open, and replacing it with his own. The breath was shallow and warm in Qinghe's ears, and she didn't need to look at her to know that Erbai was changing her ways to comfort her, afraid that she would hurt herself.
"Three nobles, you can come out, we are already out of the city."
The honest man's kind voice sounded muffled through the barrel, and the person who had been holding no air for a long time, as soon as the lid was opened, Qinghe's eyes were dark and he almost fainted.
"Qingqing, Qingqing, are you okay?" Erbai touched Qinghe's forehead, and he was slightly relieved when his body temperature was normal.
"You help me up, I'm a little weak."
"Sister, do you want me to hold you?"
Qing He carefully stepped out of the barrel and hurriedly thanked the honest man.
"Big brother, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know what to do."
The man waved his hand again and again, he didn't want to, but if he didn't do what that person said at that time, he would probably die immediately, and there was still a mother-in-law and mother to support at home, so he couldn't listen to it.
"I'm fine, let's go quickly, do you remember that Zhang Tu, the leader of Qingliang Mountain? That time he said that he owed us a favor, if there was anything needed, go to him, no matter what he said politely or what, now there is neither an identity disk, nor enough things to go far in a panic, and it is either a woman's family or a child, and maybe there is any danger, it is better to go to them first, and it is not too late to make plans after understanding. Qing He thought about it for a while, and both of them nodded in agreement and began to walk in the direction of Qingliang Mountain.
"Sister, those are all bandits, can you believe what you say?" Qingyang tilted his head and asked, he was woken up early in the morning, he was very sleepy, yawning as he walked, and tears came out.
"I don't know, but I think Zhang Tu is still a real man, so let's believe it."
Qinghe was so comforted, but in her heart, she remembered what Li Hua whispered to her.
"Don't worry, girl, Elder Chen said that he would help solve this matter, Qingliangshan heard that it is a good place to go, and the girl can avoid it first."
ยท
"Big brother, there are two very peugeot-looking girls under the mountain who said they came to you." As soon as a little minion entered the door, he interrupted Zhang Tu's good interest in drinking and having fun.
His eyes widened, as big as a copper bell: "What's the noise, what woman is not a woman, isn't it just a matter of putting it up?" Yelling what. โ
"No, no, big brother, there is a woman who is very skilled, and there are several of our brothers, we can't bear it!" With that, the minion fell to his knees.
Syllable!
"Isn't Lao Tzu's fame loud enough? Recently, even women have come to the door to see that I can't clean them up. Zhang Tu, who was slightly drunk, slapped the table, and after speaking, took the knife handed over by the person next to him and strode down the mountain.
A man on the field still took a sip of wine calmly, and asked slowly: "Except for two women, is there no one else?" โ
"That's right!" The minion patted his knee, "There's a teenager and a half-year-old." โ
"Well, then don't worry, let's continue to drink." So I drank it all.
ยท
"Erbai, don't fight, stop and rest, there are too many injured people, Zhang Tu, who is the eldest brother, can't get off the stage, maybe he will have to drive us away." Qinghe and Qingyang sat aside, and the two of them each poured a glass of water and drank it in their hands, so it was not leisurely. Erbai stopped as soon as he heard the action, but the ground was already full of people rolling around.
She clapped her hands, and then took a chair to sit and rest, "It's boring, I don't have the power to resist at all, if such a defense force is sent to encircle and suppress, it can be wiped out quickly." โ
"Who dares to be so arrogant and send troops to encircle and suppress? I'll let you have no return! โ
Heavy footsteps rang out from outside the door, and the door slammed into the wall and bounced back.
"Hmph, I want to see who is so arrogant!"
As soon as Zhang Tugang saw Erbai's eyes widened, and when he saw Qing He greeting him with a smile on his face and saying, 'Don't come to harm', the knife in his hand almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he caught it quickly.
"Miss Xu, why are you here?" He looked happy, hurriedly got up, and saw a group of moaning people lying on the ground, and his face sank, and he was very unhappy and said, "What are you still lying here?" Is it an eyesore? Useless stuff. โ
That group of little minions had few chances to see the eldest brother, but they were all so frightened that they crawled out and ran out, and the last one was clever enough to close the door.
"Who are these two women, it can't be that the woman who slept outside the boss owes a romantic debt, and now she brings a doll to the door to find him, right?"
"Possibly."
"You didn't let me know when you came, my little brother is offended." After speaking, he saluted with a knife, but Erbai's expression was condensed, and he suddenly stepped forward quickly to open the door, and the cup in his hand flew out, and then he heard the painful cries of "ouch hey" outside one after another.
The corners of Zhang Tu's eyes jumped, of course he heard what they said, maybe a weak woman like Qinghe who had no force couldn't hear it, but he still heard it clearly, and what he immediately thought about was that it was really comfortable for too long, and he began to chew the root of his tongue.
"Let's go, this place is simple, go up the mountain to Dazhai, let you have a full meal tonight, and taste the craftsmanship of our cooks." Zhang Tu waved his hand.
"Speaking of which, this cook was a big family four years ago
Qingyang tugged at the corner of her sister Qinghe's clothes, and said in a voice that she thought was very low: "Sister, is it really okay?" โ
"It's okay, listen to my sister."
And in front of them was Erbai, who separated the Qinghe sisters and brothers from that Zhang Tu, so that if Zhang Tu had a bad heart and hurt people, he could solve the other party as quickly as possible.
You can't kill the enemy with one move, but you can still restrain him.
Qinghe walked while looking at both sides of the road, from the foot of the mountain to the mountain opened a road, paved with bluestone, the intersection is not big, after all, most of the younger brothers live in the position of the mountainside, only Zhang Tu and the head of the identity live in the big village on the mountain, the scenery along the road is very good, surrounded by green shade, full of birds, Qingliang Mountain is cool. Qing He saw it in his eyes, and he was still a little envious in his heart. Although they are bandits, they can occupy the mountains here, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and they don't need to be angry with anyone at all, as long as they live comfortably and freely.
"Qingqing, it's beautiful here."
Sensing that Zhang Tu had no evil intentions, Erbai slowed down her pace and waited for Qinghe, she looked at the surrounding mountains and trees, and couldn't help but say it.
"In the future, we will also find a mountain like this to live, okay? Don't be angry with that dog. โ
"Sister, I think this is good too."
When Qing He heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Okay, when there is one day when nothing can restrain us, we will go find a mountain and live quietly on it." โ
"Miss Xu, do you think I'm good at Qingliang Mountain?" Zhang Tu's voice came down from above.
Qing He was surprised, "Very good, Brother Zhang, you really have a good vision." โ
"It's good to settle down again, and there is a master in the mountains." said as if he remembered something funny, and laughed again, "It's just that the old man is very pedantic, and every day he is full of big truths, and our children don't like to hear him fart." โ
"You, you reckless man, how can you understand the truth of my saint!" Qingyang couldn't help but argue, Qinghe pressed his hand and signaled him to calm down.
Do not be angry under the fence.
"We haven't finished our mundane affairs, we can't be as free and easy as Brother Zhang, there is still an old man in Kaiyang City who has a good relationship, and we have to take him out after a while."
"Speaking of which, why did the girl suddenly come to my Qingliang Mountain, this mountain is also quite far from Kaiyang City, and you have to walk for more than half an hour, is it possible that you will go out of the city before dawn?" Zhang Tu said casually repeatedly, but Qing He was shocked when he heard it.
This man's sharp eyes and careful thoughts, which can be guessed, are worthy of being the leader of this entire village. Originally, she was going to make a random reason, but it seemed that she was confused, but fortunately, he looked like a hearty tough guy, and what he said was counted.
"I was calculated by the second son of the Zhang Governor's family, and now I am being hunted down all over the city, forced to go out of the city to hide, and ask Brother Zhang to take him in for a while."
When the four of them said this, they had already arrived on the flat ground at the gate of Dazhai, Qinghe suddenly stopped, Zhang Tu didn't hear the footsteps and looked back, only to find that Qinghe saluted.
He has always been informal, when he saw the profit, he actually bullied the head of a weak woman, and afterwards he was very disdainful, maybe he promised to help once, and he couldn't see the big gift, "Get up quickly, that prefect is also a corrupt official, and there is no good thing under him, there is nothing to say, three or two years to send troops to encircle and suppress, in fact, it is to besiege Qingliang Mountain to ask me for money, one day the brothers have itchy hands, and take someone to bring him to the prefect's yamen, to see what they have to say." โ
After speaking, he seemed to be puzzled, and kicked the trees on the side a few times, "The emperor is far away, so we can establish this Qingliang Mountain camp, but because of this, Zhang Hai dares to be so bold, and the two of us can be regarded as dependent on each other." It was even more helpless, and he kicked the thick tree with the bowl of mouth with a kick.
When Qing He heard this, he was stunned.
No wonder I have been here for five years, and every year I heard that I wanted to suppress bandits, but in the end, they were all forced by officials and the bandits retreated.
"When it's time, you see they're all out to greet them." Zhang Tu said with a smile.
