Sixty-five

The prisoners were to be taken to the entrance of the vegetable market in the west of the city to be beheaded, and Xu You and several of them followed along the way. When they arrived at the ground, all the servants of the yamen lined up and isolated the onlookers. Xu You looked around, but didn't see Xue Daddy and Second Uncle Meng.

"My father and second uncle didn't come." Xu You whispered to Zhao Cheng, and Hu Pengcheng also interjected in a low voice, "My father didn't come either, that supervisor is a Hu man, and I have long looked at him unpleasantly." ”

Zhao Chengjin's face was very solemn, his sharp eyes swept around a few times, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. Xu You was a little nervous in her heart, she always felt that Zhao Chengjin seemed to be thinking about something, and I am afraid that this matter is not small. Ah Chu blinked at the two of them, and became nervous for no reason.

"Xiaoxue-" Zhao Chengjin suddenly spoke, looked at Xu You with a serious face, and said, "You take Ah Chu to the teahouse in front of you and sit back." ”

Xu You was stunned for a moment, and then immediately guessed something. She looked around quickly, but couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. Ah Chu also looked at Zhao Chengjin with a surprised expression, and asked curiously: "Brother Xiaoshun, aren't we going to see the head killing?" ”

Zhao Chengjin touched Ah Chu's brain and smiled, "Children don't look at these things, they will be so scared that they can't sleep at night." With that, he looked at Xu You again, and his eyes were full of requests. As soon as Xu You saw his eyes, he knew that even if she became a cat today, I am afraid that Zhao Chengjin would not let her stay, so he didn't say anything more, took Ah Chu's hand and walked back. After taking two steps, he turned around again, looked at Zhao Cheng and stopped, and after a few seconds, he said solemnly: "You go with us." ”

Zhao Chengjin showed a hesitant look on his face, and after a few seconds, he said in a low voice: "I'll go over to look for you in a while." ”

Xu You was silent, looking at him with a calm face, his eyes were complicated. Ah Chu didn't dare to speak for a while, peeked at Xu You, lowered his head and behaved. Hu Pengcheng looked at them with a puzzled expression, and stopped talking.

Xu You finally turned to leave, but her little face was tense, and anyone could see that she was angry.

Hu Pengcheng frowned and looked at them suspiciously, and when they were far away, he touched his chin and asked a little puzzled: "What are you doing, you suddenly made such a look of life and death, scary or not." ”

Zhao Chengjin was not annoyed, raised his eyes to look at him, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you go back with Ah Chu and them, I estimate that there will be chaos here for a while, you don't even have the ability to protect yourself, and I have to spare a hand to save you." ”

Hu Pengcheng was suddenly furious, so angry that he immediately jumped up, and scolded Zhao Chengjin at the top of his throat, "You little devil who doesn't know the height of the sky, you think you are invincible in the world when you win a game, and you squeeze Lao Tzu out of your words." I don't want you to save it! The streets are calm and chaotic, and they will say these sensational things to frighten ......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden change in the street, and out of nowhere, a dozen crazy horses rushed towards the direction of the prisoner car, and the street suddenly fell into chaos, and the onlookers fled in a hurry, and more people panicked and ran around. The officers were also shocked, and rushed forward to maintain order.

The warden had already noticed that something was wrong, and he paced under the table and shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "Someone has taken prisoners, someone has taken prisoners-"

Crazy Horse was scurrying around in the field, Hu Pengcheng was so frightened that he forgot to hide to the side, and when he saw that he was about to be hit by Crazy Horse, a hand suddenly stretched out next to him, and with a hard pull, he dragged him to the foot of the wall, and his left shoulder hit the wall heavily, making Hu Pengcheng scream in pain.

But Hu Pengcheng also knew what was wrong, if it wasn't for Zhao Cheng's action just now, he would probably have been trampled under the horse's hooves, so he grinned and thanked Zhao Cheng stupidly, squatting in the corner and asking Zhao Cheng curiously: "How do you know that Lu Dao will be in trouble?" What did you just see? ”

Zhao Chengjin didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and stared at the direction of the prisoner car without blinking a pair of dark eyes. Hu Pengcheng was surprised in his heart, and as he looked at it, he saw that more than a dozen men with sharp blades had already rushed forward to fight with the officer, and between the swords and swords, there were casualties immediately, and scarlet blood spurted out of the officer's neck, splashing the face of the murderous man. The man didn't have time to wipe it, and was immediately stabbed by another officer......

Hu Pengcheng's legs were weak, and he trembled like chaff, and then rolled his eyes, and simply fainted.

Zhao Chengjin suddenly had a headache, rubbed his temples and looked around, dragged Hu Pengcheng to the threshold of a shop on the side of the street, and made sure that he would not be trampled by the fleeing people, so he got up and rushed into the chaotic crowd.

On the side of the teahouse, Ah Chu was already frightened, lying on the window on the second floor and looking downstairs timidly. The streets were full of people, people, soldiers, and gangsters who couldn't tell where they came from, crying and screaming, ghosts crying and wolves howling, and there was chaos.

"Sister," Ah Chu hid under the window and didn't dare to open his eyes, and asked in a crying voice: "Brother Xiaoshun, what should Brother Xiaoshun do?" He hasn't come back yet. And Brother Xiaopeng, woo woo......"

Xu You's heart sank slightly, she had actually guessed some truths a long time ago, Zhao Chengjin suddenly changed color, and the truth that they were separated was □□ related to his previous experience in the bandits' den. For so long, Zhao Chengjin hardly mentioned his experience in the past three years, let alone the life in the cottage, Xu You also thought that he was just forced to be reluctantly placed under house arrest in the village, and now it seems that this guy still has a relationship with those bandits.

But this idiot won't fold himself in!

The more Xu You thought about it, the more uneasy she felt in her heart, but Ah Chu was by her side, and she couldn't show the slightest nervousness and panic.

The door of the teahouse has long been locked, and the guys in the shop are all nesting downstairs, and there are only a few customers on the second floor, secretly hiding behind the window to watch the movement downstairs. Xu You and Ah Chu waited patiently for more than half an hour, until there were no pedestrians on the street, and they still didn't see Zhao Chengjin come back.

Ah Chu became more and more anxious, his little face wrinkled, he looked at Xu Yu and choked up quietly, "Sister, why hasn't Brother Xiaoshun come back yet?" ”

Xu You was silent, stepped forward to take his hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'll take you home in a while." Brother Shun can't find us, so he will naturally go back by himself. ”

"But, but ......" Ah Chu's tears were about to fall, and his eyes were red, "Will something happen to Brother Xiaoshun?" ”

"No, it won't." Xu You's voice suddenly became a little higher, and she couldn't tell whether it was to persuade Ah Chu or herself, "He ...... It's a big fate. "That little bastard has been out alone for three years without an accident, there is no reason to plant on this little thing, he is clever! Xu You could only comfort himself like this.

The two of them waited in the restaurant for nearly half an hour, seeing that it was almost dark, and there were gradually people on the street. Xu You thought about it, but decided not to wait, and led Ah Chu to his home.

On the way back, the two of them were uneasy, there were errands hurrying by on the road, and the pedestrians were so frightened that they hid on the side of the road, Xu You and Ah Chu were used to seeing Xue Daddy and the second uncle in fast clothes, and they were not afraid when they saw them, but when they thought of Zhao Chengjin and did not know where to go, Xu You's heart sank little by little.

When he arrived at the mouth of the alley, Xu You stopped again, and subconsciously looked around, Ah Chu's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly shouted, "Sister, it's Brother Xiaoshun!" ”

Xu You looked intently, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Chengjin staggering towards this side with Hu Pengcheng on his back.

This guy!

Ah Chu cheered and had already greeted him, Xu You didn't move, and stared at him from afar with a small face. Zhao Chengjin also seemed to sense Xu You's displeasure, and tilted his head back at her and smiled flatteringly.

"It stinks!" Ah Chu covered his nose, frowned and complained quietly, and said vigorously to slap the wind with his chubby hand while talking, "Why did Brother Xiaopeng become like this?" Intimidated? He's a coward! ”

"You ......" Hu Pengcheng pointed at Ah Chu weakly, "Little ghost ......" said a few words, and he found that he couldn't raise his strength at all, and the bloody scene flashed in his mind again, the scarlet learning, the sharp blade that passed through his chest, and the frightened expression that froze on the face of the dead man...... Hu Pengcheng only felt that his chest was surging again, and he quickly jumped off Zhao Chengjin's back, holding his chest and retching again.

He vomited too many times, and the bitter bile was all gone, and he could only retch, and the painful appearance simply made him feel sad and cry. Ah Chu regretted it, and felt that he shouldn't have shown a disgusted expression just now - it was obvious that Brother Xiaopeng was already so pitiful, and he still laughed at him, which was really wrong.

Zhao Chengjin was very calm, stood quietly and watched, and explained: "He vomited all the way, and it was delayed for a while. When he spoke, his eyes had quietly swept over Xu You's body, and when he saw that her face was already calm, he knew that she was still angry, and he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart, and he didn't know how to coax her back.

When Hu Pengcheng finished vomiting, Zhao Chengjin and A Chu stepped forward to help him up, but this time, Hu Pengcheng refused to let Zhao Chengcheng carry it, and said weakly: "That stinky boy...... The body is full of bones, and it makes the young master have a stomachache. ”

Ah Chu was a little angry, and stood up for Zhao Cheng with righteous indignation, "Brother Xiaopeng, you have no conscience, if it weren't for Brother Xiaoshun who carried you back all the way, you don't know where you are lying at this moment, maybe you will be cleaned up by the bad guys." You are such a big man, Brother Xiaoshun is so thin, it takes a lot of effort to carry you, you still don't appreciate it, hum! When he said the last word, his face was red with anger, his eyes widened, as if he wanted to step forward and kick Hu Pengcheng, Hu Pengcheng was scolded by him a little stunned, stunned for a long time, and touched the back of his head, he really felt a little embarrassed.

"Let's go...... Let's go back. Hu Pengcheng said in a low voice, he still couldn't pull his face to apologize to Zhao Cheng, so he diverted the topic, Ah Chu was still angry with him, ignored him, rushed to the front angrily, and ran home alone.

Ah Chu went home first, and after a while, Mrs. Meng and the second aunt hurriedly opened the door to welcome them, and when they saw Hu Pengcheng's appearance of being □□, they immediately became anxious, "What's wrong?" How did Brother Peng become like this? ”

The second aunt also said: "There was an accident outside today, Grandma didn't see you coming back, and she was so scared that she had to go to the street to find someone."

Xu You was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and whispered to apologize, "After school, we went to play on the main street, but I didn't expect to meet someone robbing the prisoner, so I hid in the teahouse on the side of the road, and didn't come out until I saw that there was no one on the road." It was us who was wrong. ”

The second aunt knew very well in her heart that today was Hu Pengcheng's first day of school, and □□ of the ten was proposed by him to go out, so she didn't blame Xu You, she only nodded at her, and she helped Hu Pengcheng into the hospital.

Xue Dad and Second Uncle Meng didn't come back at night, but only called someone to come over to the house with a message, Xu You guessed that it was for the purpose of robbing the prisoner's car during the day. At night, she has been refusing to talk to Zhao Chengjin, she would rather talk to Hu Pengcheng, who is smiling and chirping, than to ignore Zhao Chengjin, except for Hu Pengcheng, who is stunned, the family can see it, Mrs. Meng pulled Ah Chu aside and quietly asked what happened. Ah Chu insisted that he didn't know what to say, and said: "I'm almost scared to death, I don't remember anything." ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Meng immediately felt distressed, hugged his good grandson, and coaxed him for a while, and soon forgot about Xu You's awkward affair with Zhao Chengjin. After all, it's common for children to be awkward, and maybe the two of them will be reconciled when they get up tomorrow morning.

But Xu You still made up her mind to ignore him for many days, she was so angry that she thought that this guy actually took them away and went on a solo adventure by herself, she was so angry that she couldn't even eat, and at night Zhao Cheng also flatteringly sandwiched the ribs into her bowl, Xu You sandwiched all the ribs into Ah Chu's bowl with chopsticks, and she only ate two mouthfuls of green vegetables and put the rice bowl, although Mrs. Meng saw it, she didn't ask much, because Hu Pengcheng ate less.

But at night, Xu Yu regretted it.

She went to bed early at night, and was woken up hungry after lying down for a while, and her stomach was scratching like a claw, and she couldn't sleep at all, so she got up and poured half a pot of tea into her stomach, but it still didn't work, and she was even more hungry than before.

What to do?

The night was long, and she was so hungry that she didn't want to fall asleep all night.

Xu You hesitated for a while, but finally got up and changed his clothes, lit the lamp and went to the kitchen.

There is no ready-made food in the cupboard and you have to make it yourself. Xu You was a little worried, she had been in ancient times for so long, and she had never made anything to eat herself. She won't even burn a fire!

She found the fire, turned over a few more dry wood, put it in the stove, found some thatch and stuffed it in it, and burned the fire hard, but it could not be lit at all.

"Shhhh Xu You screamed in pain, shook off the fire fold fiercely, and blew vigorously with his hands, getting angry with himself while blowing. She actually made herself like this in order to be angry with a little ghost, how naïve! It's just stupid!

was gritting his teeth and muttering and scolding, the kitchen door suddenly opened, Xu You was startled, and looked up suddenly, only to find that it was Zhao Chengjin who came in.

He entered the house with the lantern, closed the door with his hand, and spoke quietly, "I heard movement in the kitchen, and I guessed it was you." You don't eat much at night, you're hungry now, I'll cook noodles for you to eat......" He spoke cautiously, and kept secretly looking at her, with a desire to please Lu.
