Chapter 395: Expelling the Besiegers
"White-clothed ......" Chenxi shouted softly with her chin against her knees. Do you really not feel anything at all? If he falls in front of you, my mother said, hate is also because you care, you will have time to hate. ”
Bai Yi looked at the bricks and tiles in the distance, and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "Since the time of my mother's death, I have no relatives. ”
Chenxi was secretly annoyed that she always accidentally touched other people's sad points, tightened the cloak around her body and said, "You still have friends without relatives, we are all your friends!" Really, don't be upset. When you're sad, tell me, I'll be with you. ”
As soon as the words came out, Dawn felt as if something was wrong, was it too ambiguous? Just as he wanted to explain, Bai Yi had already nodded in response, "Well, because it's a friend." ”
Chenxi nodded in a daze, and it wasn't until Baiyi said that it was dark and the night was cold, and he escorted him back to the room, that Chenxi reacted. Not really! She didn't just say it because of friends.
Chenxi was a little weak, and threw herself on the bed, and Bai Yi would not misunderstand anything.
After half an hour, everyone gathered around for dinner, and Brother Qi'er said that after discussing with the city lord tomorrow, he would go to trade with the soldiers outside the city.
Brother Ming'er didn't like this kind of negotiation, so he stayed at the inn to accompany Chenxi.
In order to ensure the safety of Brother Qi'er, Bai Yi and the fat man went with him.
The fat man has a lot of feelings for Dongfang Qiu, and he specially gave him a bowl of rice with vegetables tonight, you must know that Dongfang Qiu has eaten white rice with no taste these days, and there is only one meal a day, and there is only a small bowl of a meal, which is said to be in line with the amount of food in the girl's family.
Dongfang Qiu sat in a corner eating alone, because his tendons were picked, he used chopsticks, and he was very trembling.
The scar on his face formed by the whip of the white coat had already scabbed over at this time, and it was very hideous on the side of his face, but his lips were pale and his hair was messy, which was enough to see that he had been tortured, and people who didn't know it would feel pity when they looked at it.
But there are only two groups of people coming in and out of this tavern, one is from Qianshanmen, and the other is Brother Ming'er and others.
Seven or eight disciples died in Qianshanmen, how could he be spared. Brother Ming'er's gang will not even have pity for the Dongfang quarrel with Chenxi.
Dongfang Qiu didn't know what happened to Miao Luo, he hadn't seen him come to save him for so long, and it was impossible for him to escape by himself with his current appearance, but when it came to suicide, he didn't dare to make a decision on his own.
Thinking like this, looking at the food in the bowl made him feel desolate.
Brother Ming'er suddenly remembered the matter of Dongfang Qiu's voice, and asked the fat man who was happy to eat: "Uncle Shi, don't you give Dongfang Qiu an explanation?" He's still holding this throat, how scary it will be then......"
The chopsticks in the fat man's hand didn't stop, and he swallowed the food in his mouth before saying, "What's wrong with this?" If I want to solve the Gu, I haven't had time to deploy it yet, at least three days. ”
Three days...... They didn't want to wait so long.
Brother Qi'er looked at Brother Ming'er and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't solve the Gu or not, it doesn't matter, as long as he is still an enemy of the East." ”
Brother Ming'er nodded, no objection.
The next day, Brother Qi'er and the fat man in white went down to meet the arrogant soldier under the guidance of the city lord.
Brother Ming'er and Chenxi packed their luggage and followed Master Miao to investigate the situation of those victims.
Now these victims are getting better, and there are no other problems except for physical weakness, but in addition to the destruction of their families by this flood, the disaster of Zhong Gu has aggravated this tragedy.
The three brothers and sisters of Brother Ming'er decided to find the whereabouts of their father and mother, while the senior brothers of Master Miao went to find the long-missing Imperial Doctor Liu.
I'm going to leave it at that for a while.
Brother Qi'er's negotiation with the soldier was very successful, and the news of the disappearance of Murong Huaide and his wife was still blocked and not circulated, so they didn't dare to be too much to Brother Qi'er in the face of King Zhongshan.
On the day Dongfang Qiu was taken away, Pu Qu, who was weak and powerless upstairs, also left. Master Miao maintained a laissez-faire attitude towards this.
The patients in the city were diagnosed by the imperial physicians of the DPRK and China, and it was proved that the victims could indeed rest assured that there was no contagious disease. The besiegers outside the city washed and retreated, and instead entered the city and camped.
Nan Jiawei had to treat them with delicious food and drink.
Two days later, Brother Ming'er prepared the carriage and prepared to leave, and Master Miao stood at the door of the tavern to say goodbye. After many years, I don't know what year and month we will see each other again.
Brother Ming'er kowtowed to Master Miao and promised that after this matter was over, he would definitely visit Miao Jiang once a year.
Master Miao should come down and watch the carriage go farther and farther away against the cold wind.
The fat man sighed with a sigh for the past few months. "Life is full of encounters and partings."
The thin man held the wine gourd, yawned and turned into the tavern.
The fat man raised his heel and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I saw you stuffing good things into Ming'er and Chenxi's bodies." I still pretend not to care, hey~"
Master Miao paused for a few breaths and entered the tavern, and the thin man Yun provoked the wine in the gourd, and said with a slight sarcasm: "You have become more and more accustomed to calling senior brother recently, not bad." ”
The fat man choked, but he didn't say anything, since the city gate was opened two days ago, all the disciples of the Qianshan Gate had left. I don't know what Brother Qi'er told them, he even thought twice, it was unbelievable to leave like this, and I thought that they would swear to the death to take Dongfang Qiu's life.
The tavern is so empty, I have experienced the excitement of the past, and it is easy to get sad when it is deserted.
The fat man sat on the bench, and the three brothers were speechless, and after a long time, the fat man stretched his waist and said, "There is no one who even sings a small song." ”
"When are we leaving?" The fat man took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "The owner of the tavern bought me a map of some Daqi scenic spots, it's very interesting to look at, junior brother, let's go?" ”
The thin man grabbed the map, a soft piece of paper, which could be crumpled at will. The painting on it is OK, the mark is very careful, where there is a post station, where there is a rest, it is clear.
Seeing that the thin man was so rude, the fat man hurriedly said, "Senior brother, be careful!" ”
"What? You said you were going to find Master, but you thought about going to play. The thin man slapped away the fat man's hand and said disdainfully.
The fat man retracted his hand, "Master likes to travel around, and it may not be that we will meet by chance on the road." ”
Master Miao doesn't speak, he will return to Miao Jiang at the end of the year.
Suddenly, something strange came from the bamboo tube around his waist, and Master Miao's mind moved, probably because the Zi Gu who didn't know where he sensed the danger. He was silent, listening to the two senior brothers arguing.
The apprentice took it and left, what a good apprentice, he didn't bring enough.
After sighing, he went back to his room alone to rest and didn't say anything all night.
In the early morning, when the sky was bright, it was enough to see the white expanse outside, and it was snowing again.
The bamboo tube on the table stood coldly, without a trace of movement.
Master Miao was not in a hurry, and only after washing up did he look at the opening of the bamboo tube, and as expected, the mother Gu inside died.
He paused with his hand, put down the bamboo tube like no one else, and went out with the clothes and hats prepared in the house.
The door to the tavern downstairs had not yet opened, and the light was a little dim.
The thin man and the fat man have not yet gotten up, only the shopkeeper and the buddy are busy in their respective fields.
Seeing Master Miao, dressed in black, appear at the entrance of the corridor, the guy who wiped the table immediately greeted and asked, "Master morning, do you want to eat porridge for breakfast this morning?" The small ones are ready immediately. ”
"Wait, it's snowing, I want to go out for a walk first, and I'll wait for my other two senior brothers to get up for breakfast. Master Miao is gentle and polite, and he is like this to a junior two, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Xiao Er went to fetch an umbrella, handed it to him and said, "Okay, the wind and snow outside are not small, and it is better for the master to hold an umbrella." ”
Master Miao did not refuse, and after thanking him again, he went out to open the umbrella and slowly disappeared into the wind and snow.
Xiao Er ran to close the door, looked at Master Miao's back and said, "It's such a cold day, the master is really a master, and his habits are different from ordinary people." Luckily, the snow didn't do this morning, and last night's heavy snow was severe. ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the little two and didn't stop it, the master of the Shaodong family, it must be served.
Master Miao walked aimlessly with an umbrella, and there were still many people buying vegetables on both sides of the snow today, and pedestrians were in a hurry.
Master Miao was holding an umbrella and looking around to keep an eye on something, and when he walked down a street, he suddenly saw something and stopped.
It was a small street, there were no people, and in the corner was a man in black clothes, half covered in snow, and the clothes alone felt familiar.
He curled up on the ground motionless, surrounded only by the footprints of Master Miao.
Master Miao squatted down with an umbrella, his purple face looked lifeless, and his limbs were stiff. The facial features on the face are deeply sunken, and the thinness is unusually obvious.
His hands were clasped tightly together, as if trying to protect against the cold.
And so the man died.
Master Miao really didn't intend to let him go, but he didn't expect him to die like this. starving or freezing to death or both.
The pain before death is not as good as the human life in his hands, and this is his end.
Master Miao got up, and the snowflakes that kept falling in the sky fell on Pu Qu's body again.
"I'm cold, let's go back." A familiar voice came from behind him, and Master Miao looked back to see that it was a thin man and a fat man.
The two of them each held an umbrella, glanced at Pu Qu on the ground and urged as if they hadn't seen it.
Master Miao raised his feet and left, walked between them and asked, "I thought the two senior brothers hadn't woken up." ”
The fat man laughed twice, "I don't know how long it has been since I've heard my junior brother call my senior brother so naturally, except in front of my master." ”
The thin man snorted coldly, and he was still holding the wine gourd in his hand. "In a blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed."
Master Miao answered, with a look of memory on his face, "The day Master took me home was also a snowy day. ”
Fat man: "That's right, senior brother is still bullying you." ”
The thin man is a little unnatural, but the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, the brother when he was young, he can still walk side by side on the street like this for decades, fate.
From the time they were picked up by Master alone, they were no longer alone.
"I don't know where the master is hiding now, or will you get seriously injured again and lure the master out?" The fat man now has a strong desire to meet Master.
Master Miao nodded, "You do it, I won't fight back." ”
Fatty: "......"
When they returned to the tavern, they saw a familiar figure sitting with their backs to them.
The three of Master Miao glanced at each other, and they all stepped forward quietly with some incredulity.
Imperial Physician Liu turned to look at them, commented on the map, and said, "This is marked as a den of bandits, and you are going to hoe evil in the Central Plains to help the weak?" ”
