Chapter 93: Together
The capital was under martial law, and many additional men were sent to various city gates to check those who left the city.
There was a long queue in front of the city gate, there was a slow ox cart in the procession, and there were two old men sitting on the ox cart, the male one was dozing with his mouth open, and the female one was leaning on his wife, shaking his hands uncontrollably, and the two sons of the old man looked like ordinary country men, wearing short beats, and their feet were full of mud spots, and their shoes had long been broken, and the country man continued to wear them with two toes.
The people in front of them flicked away, and finally it was their turn.
The officers and soldiers defending the city first compared them with the people on the wanted portraits, and then they were examined.
The man who drove the ox cart got out of the cart and said in a foreign accent:
"Official, our brothers want to take my father and mother back to their hometown."
The officers and men took a look at their simple ox carts, rummaged through the baggage of the two old men with the heads of their guns, and found only a few old clothes that had been washed white and a few taels of silver, and there was no cover on the ox carts, and the officers and men bent □ to look at the cart and make sure that there was no one hidden under the cart.
"Where's my hometown?" Officers and soldiers routinely questioned.
"Henan."
"How many people are in the family?"
"Six, I, my daughter-in-law, my brother, my brother's daughter-in-law, my father, my mother."
"Is this your father?" The officers and soldiers pointed to the dozing old man and asked, and the eldest son replied humbly: "Yes." My father, that's my mother, my father is confused, I sleep all day, my mother has a stroke, my hands are shaking all day, it is estimated that in a few years, it will be good to accompany my ancestors. ”
The officers and soldiers of the "......" glanced at the faces of several of them a few more times, and there was really nothing to ask, and the people looked completely different, and their identities were not suspicious, so they stamped their documents out of the city and let them go: "Let's go, let's go." Don't come to the capital again, it's okay, add to the chaos. ”
After the officers and soldiers said this, the eldest son was obviously unhappy, and muttered in his mouth: "Who are you, why don't you let us come to the capital?" ”
The officers and soldiers flashed their weapons at him with fierce expressions, and the youngest son quickly grabbed the stupid eldest brother, and drove the ox cart out of the city while scolding.
Only then did the patrol officers and soldiers put away their weapons and muttered: "Buns, hillbilly." After that, he moved on to the next one.
***
After leaving the city, the ox cart drove all the way north.
"Han Feng, I really didn't find out, you have a talent for acting. Your sentence 'My father is confused, my mother has a stroke' is really amazing. ”
It turned out that the eldest son who drove the ox cart before was dressed by Han Feng, and they all wore masks on their faces, plus the outfits they wore that were stolen from the homes of the farming people, Rao couldn't see the flaws.
The two were talking, but they heard Xi Yunzhi's anxious voice from behind the ox cart:
"Zhao Yi Han Feng, let's find an inn to rest for a while, I can't sit still and start bleeding."
The old lady Xi Yunzhi tried hard to hug the waist of the old man Bu Tan, it turned out that under the wide cuffs of the two people, the belts were actually connected together, Xi Yunzhi tied Bu Qin to himself, and let him sit all the way out of the city, and now it is the limit.
Three miles outside the city, there was a small inn, Zhao Yi went to ask for a room, Han Feng picked up Bu Qin, and lied that the old man couldn't stand the bumps and was a little dizzy, and wanted to rest for a while, so the 'family of four' went to the guest room.
Xi Yunzhi untied Bu Tan's clothes, wrapped them with oiled paper, just to prevent blood from seeping out of the clothes, Xi Yunzhi took away the oiled paper, looked at the holes in Bu Tan's body, and said to Han Feng and Zhao Yi:
"I guess I can't sit in the ox cart, continue to bump, I'm afraid that this life-sustaining Jin Dan won't be able to save him."
Zhao Yi and Han Feng glanced at each other, and Han Feng took the initiative to ask:
"Madame, why don't I go into the city again and get a more comfortable carriage from the city."
Xi Yunzhi hesitated a little: "But, won't it be too risky for you?" ”
Han Feng hugged his fists at her and said: "Madam, what did you say, Zhao Yi and I have followed Ye since we were children, going south and north, going into battle to kill the enemy, I have never seen Ye leave us at any time, and now Ye is in trouble, we are going to the knife mountain and going down to the oil pot, and we will also protect Ye and you." ”
Zhao Yi also followed Han Feng's example, and clenched his fists and explained to Xi Yunzhi:
"Madam, don't worry. Han Feng's light skills are very good, he only needs to sneak into the city unconsciously, and then drive an empty carriage out of the city, no one will suspect a carriage with no people. ”
Xi Yunzhi glanced at Bu Qin again, then nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Xi Yunzhi turned around and took out some silver tickets from the placket of his clothes, which was taken out of Zhang Yan's private property box, only five hundred taels of silver, Xi Yunzhi took a silver ticket of two hundred taels and handed it to Han Feng and asked him to buy a carriage.
Looking at the few silver taels left, Xi Yunzhi said to Han Feng again:
"If you go horizontally and vertically, you will go to Swallow Lane again......"
Before she entered the palace, she divided her private silver collection into ten parts and hid it, and she informed Han Feng of one of the places where the gold was hidden, and asked him to take the bag of things out of the city with her.
After Han Feng received the order, Zhao Yi went to the kitchen to find food, and Xi Yunzhi asked the store to bring in a basin of water.
She carefully wiped Bu Tan's body, wiped the blood clean, sprinkled hemostatic medicine on it, and then carefully wrapped it in gauze.
Looking at Bu Qin's increasingly pale face, Xi Yunzhi turned out the package that Zhang Yan gave her from the placket, and the few bottles of porcelain jars in it were some life-sustaining pills and tonics.
Now that he has eaten almost half of the pill, every time Bu Qin takes the medicine, his face will improve slightly for a while, and then after two hours, his face will continue to become pale again, so Xi Yunzhi concluded that this kind of golden pill is effective for Bu Qin, so he will give him one pill every two hours.
She was very worried, if she ate all these bottles, what could she use to extend her husband's life?
At dinnertime, Han Feng drove a carriage back to the inn, and after hurriedly eating some crepes, the group of four set out on the road.
Although there was no luxury in the carriage, it was good enough to be large enough and the cushions were soft enough to be as comfortable as a small room.
Xi Yunzhi sat on one side, let Qin lie flat on the carriage, they had already changed their makeup and returned to their original appearance, she asked Han Feng They rushed all the way north along the official road, passing by every hotel along the way, they would rest, Xi Yunzhi got out of the car and asked, did you see three women with a child.
After looking for more than a dozen along the road, Xi Yunzhi finally heard the familiar cry in an inn outside Pingcheng.
Before the shopkeeper could speak, Xi Yunzhi rushed to the second floor and followed the cry to find the room.
Before I pushed the door, I heard Liu's mother's anxious voice say:
"Ouch, my little master, don't cry, crying Mother Liu, my heart is all together."
Xi Yunzhi was overjoyed, rushed over and knocked on the door, only to hear the crying in the room suddenly stopped, and after a while, Ruyi poked his head over to open the door, and when he saw that it was Xi Yunzhi, he almost jumped up with joy.
threw himself into Xi Yunzhi's arms and screamed happily.
Mother Liu and Ruyue in the room also saw Xi Yunzhi, and when even when Panasonic was in her heart, Ruyue's hand that was originally covering Xiao An's mouth hurriedly let go and welcomed Xi Yunzhi in.
Xiao An was clamoring for his father and mother, and when he saw Xi Yunzhi, he suddenly stopped crying, jumped off Liu's mother, ran over with his little short legs, hugged Xi Yunzhi's calves and shouted:
"Mother......
The milky shout made Xi Yunzhi unable to stop her tears anymore, squatted on the □, and hugged Xiao An's small body into her arms:
"Xiao An. Let my mother hug you well. ”
Holding Xiao An in her arms, the familiar smell of milk penetrated into Xi Yunzhi's nose, this was the happiest moment she felt in three or four consecutive days, she couldn't stop kissing Xiao An's face, and she wanted to kiss after kissing, but she couldn't stop at all.
Xi Yunzhi took the four of them into the carriage and told them everything that had happened in the capital in the past few days, and Mother Liu slapped her thigh and said angrily:
"I said that the emperor was not a good person, when he was in Luoyang, he always came to the house to eat without face and skin, but now it's good, the dog cub has grown up and knows how to bite."
Xi Yunzhi looked at Mother Liu, looked at Ruyi and Ruyue apologetically, and said to them:
"You have also seen the current situation of me and the general, this time the escape is more auspicious, you will not have a good life with us, if you are not willing to follow, I will give you each 5,000 taels, let you each earn a living."
After Xi Yunzhi finished speaking, she was about to turn around and take the money, she asked Han Feng to bring one of her packages from Swallow Lane, which contained a stack of silver tickets, adding up to about 500,000 taels, if it was usual, Xi Yunzhi would definitely give them more, but at this moment, she herself was a little careless, and giving 5,000 taels was completely out of benevolence.
Ruyi and Ruyue glanced at each other, and immediately knelt down:
"Madam, Ruyue and I are twin sisters, when I was a child, my family was poor, my father and mother almost sold us to the kiln, the son to pick up and guests, if it weren't for Mrs. Generosity, gave a price twice as high as that old bustard, I and Ruyue still don't know what life is better than death."
Ruyue nodded and continued, "Yes, madam. No matter what becomes of you and the general, you are our masters, and unless you don't want us to follow, our sisters will never turn their backs on our masters. ”
Xi Yunzhi nodded with satisfaction, if she didn't want to follow Ruyue as she wished, it would definitely be a lie, now at this time, many people around her are more courageous, and they can also have a clear division of labor when they do things, saving a lot of trouble, and turned their eyes to Mother Liu, and before she could speak, she heard Mother Liu say:
"Madam, don't look at me, I said before, I don't want to move my old bones in this life and this life, I am a lady in life, and I am a ghost in my wife."
“……”
With the affirmation and assurance of these three people, Xi Yunzhi felt much more down-to-earth.
Looking back, seeing Xiao An kneeling motionlessly beside the unconscious Bu Qin, feeling his mother's gaze, Xiao An raised his head and asked Xi Yunzhi:
"Mother, father, sleep."
Xi Yunzhi hugged Xiao An to his knees and sat down, and said to him gently: "Yes, Dad is sleeping, let's not quarrel with him, okay?" ”
Although Xiao An is young, he seems to understand that something big has happened in the family, but as long as he has his mother's arms, he is not afraid of anything, he drilled into Xi Yunzhi's arms, and nodded obediently:
"Good. Xiao An is not noisy. ”
Xi Yunzhi smiled and smiled at Xiao An strongly, and she was extremely glad that she sent Xiao An outside in advance.
