Chapter 60: The Liu family has long since left
In the middle of the night, the people of Luozhuang Town had already fallen asleep, and the whole town could only hear the sound of rain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, after a while, the silence was broken by a few visitors, and the group of people dressed in robes and straw hats stopped in front of a small grass hut on horseback.
There were no candles lit in the house, and it was pitch black when viewed from the window.
One of them stepped forward and slammed his hand on the wooden door, shouting, "Open the door, open the door!" ”
There was no sound in the house.
Several people knocked heavily again, shouting and no one responded.
"No one answered," said another, "what should I do?" ”
"What to do," the leader said, "Break directly, the boss has ordered, and you will be punished directly on the spot." ”
"What crime did you commit?" One of them muttered.
"We can't control that," said the leader, "and Lord Xu told us to do it." ”
A few people were about to break down the door as they spoke, but they saw a person coming out of the next room and shouting, "What are you doing at night!" Let no one sleep! ”
When the leader saw someone coming out, he replied loudly: "We are Xiangyang officers and soldiers, and we are here to find the Liu family." ”
When the villagers heard that it was the officers and soldiers, they immediately became much more energetic, and their voices were respectful: "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Bing, there is no one in their family for a long time." ”
"No one?" The leader said suspiciously, "Where did you go?" ”
Could it be that the news has leaked, and the people have already fled.
"I don't know where I went," said the villager, "the old mother of the Liu family left a few days ago, and that son left not long after he came back yesterday, that's all I know." ”
After the three officers and soldiers whispered a few words, the leader said: "Got it, it's okay to go in." ”
The villager nodded and entered the house in a daze.
"Go back and tell the boss," said one of the officers and soldiers.
"All right," the three said and left.
The leader turned over and got on his horse, and after a long doubt, he said, "Why did the prisoner want us to come here overnight." ”
"Who knows," said one of them, "that now that no one is gone, where will I catch them?" ”
"Let's go back first."
The three of them then rode away again.
Before dawn in the morning, Xie Nanhao was awakened by a soft voice.
"Seventh brother."
Xie Zhuoyan softly called Xie Nanhao, who was sleeping peacefully.
Xie Nanhao got up and sat up, and saw Xie Zhuoyan squatting next to him, holding food in his hand.
A few slices of shortbread and a bowl of clear soup.
"The soup is still hot," Xie Zhuoyan stretched out her hand and handed it over.
Xie Nanhao took it in a trance and said, "Have you eaten?" ”
Xie Zhuoyan got up and walked to the extinguished bonfire and said, "After eating, the horse has been fed." ”
Xie Nanhao lowered his head in a daze and drank a few sips of clear soup.
Xie Zhuoyan quietly packed up her baggage and took off her sun-dried clothes.
"Drink more soup," Xie Zhuoyan walked over with Xie Nanhao's coat: "I slept in wet clothes all night and was prone to wind cold." ”
Xie Zhuoyan said and handed the big dan over, and Xie Nanhao nodded.
"I remember you didn't know how to do anything before," Xie Nanhao said, "let alone make soup and light a bonfire." ”
Xie Zhuoyan squatted on the side to sort out the package, and replied with a casual smile: "Everyone has to grow up, wouldn't it be better for me to take care of myself." ”
"It's good," Xie Nanhao said in a low voice, his eyes darkened.
The thirteenth sister, who used to be spoiled with herself for everything, suddenly doesn't need to take care of her for anything.
Xie Nanhao felt a little lost.
If it was before, it must have been Xie Nanhao who took care of Xie Zhuoyan, Xie Zhuoyan pouted and begged to do this and that.
"I'm done," Xie Nanhao handed over the bowl and said, "Let's go." ”
Xie Zhuoyan nodded: "Seventh brother gets on the horse first, and I'll go wash the dishes." ”
Xie Zhuoyan said that he walked out, and Xie Nanhao sat alone in the grass hut.
He looked down at Xie Zhuoyan's open package, which contained a number of things neatly and orderly.
Almost all the things you need to use on the outside are inside.
Xie Nanhao looked at the package thoughtfully.
Since when did Xie Zhuoyan take care of herself so well.
"Let's go."
Xie Zhuoyan walked in from outside the door, and the two immediately put away their packages and left along the road.
The two rode side by side, and the sound of horses' hooves clicked as if a cheerful song was sounding in the woods.
The horse's hooves fell to the ground and splashed muddy water on Xie Nanhao's shirt and boots, but Xie Nanhao felt happy.
"The next junction is it," Xie Zhuoyan said, sitting on horseback, "and let's settle down first when we enter the town." ”
"It's Wenqu Town ahead," Xie Nanhao said, "Do you want to settle down here, don't you continue walking?" ”
"Well," Xie Zhuoyan said, "everything has already been arranged." ”
Xie Nanhao was puzzled, but he only followed behind Xie Zhuoyan, but after a while, the two had already arrived at an inn in Wenqu Town.
Xie Zhuoyan and Xie Nanhao each asked for a room, and the two rooms happened to be next door.
Xie Nanhao tidied up the house, and suddenly the door was pushed open, and Xie Zhuoyan walked in.
Xie Nanhao looked at her suspiciously, and saw Xie Zhuoyan speak: "Let's leave when it's sorted out." ”
"Where?" Xie Nanhao put down the burden in his hand, turned around and asked.
Xie Zhuoyan raised her eyes and smiled softly: "You'll know when you arrive." ”
Xie Nanhao was puzzled, but obediently followed Xie Zhuoyan out of the room.
Xie Nanhao thought that Xie Zhuoyan was going to the town, but he didn't expect Xie Zhuoyan to walk along the corridor towards several other rooms.
Xie Nanhao asked suspiciously, "Are there any other acquaintances here?" ”
Could it be Gu Chengze?
Xie Zhuoyan and Gu Chengze are husband and wife, perhaps Xie Zhuoyan has already informed Gu Chengze of his whereabouts and agreed to meet here.
Xie Zhuoyan stopped at the door of a room after a few steps, raised her hand and knocked gently.
But after a while, there was a weak old woman's voice: "Who is it?" ”
"I'm from the Xie family." Xie Zhuoyan stood at the door and replied.
There was silence in the room.
Xie Nanhao was even more puzzled, the person inside was obviously not Gu Chengze.
It's an old woman.
After a while, there was the sound of the door latch sliding in the room, and then the wooden door slowly opened outward.
The corners of Xie Zhuoyan's mouth lifted slightly.
The wooden door was completely open, but Xie Nanhao looked at the person at the door and was speechless.
It's Liu Tiequan!
Liu Tiefist's face was tired, and the clothes on his body had obviously not been changed for a few days, and he was not the same person as Liu Tiefist, who was radiant before.
"Come in," Liu Tiefist said weakly.
Xie Zhuoyan walked in, but Xie Nanhao didn't know whether to go in.
It stands to reason that Liu Tiequan must hate the Xie family to death now, and he must want to pick Xie Zhuoyan's skin.
But that's not the case at the moment, and that's what the hell is going on.
How could Liu Tiequan appear here, and why did he behave so calmly when he saw Xie Zhuoyan.
"Brother Seven, come in."
Xie Zhuoyan looked back at Xie Nanhao and said softly.
Xie Nanhao swallowed his saliva before walking in, and Liu Tiequan then bolted the door again.
