The showers finally stopped, and a crescent moon in the sky, sprinkled with grains of stars, shone a faint and cold light. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the rain, the shadows of the mountains and forests are slanted, and the rustle of clothes rubbing grass blades is accompanied by low insect chirping, like the ghostly groan of night ghosts, and the grievances are unconscious, echoing all around.

Chu Yuning raised his heavy arm, tied a strip of cloth on a small tree whose leaves were blown all over the place, and then bowed his waist and continued to climb up.

I don't know how long it took, the moon had tilted eastward, Chu Yuning finally climbed to the top of the mountain, and his vision widened.

Following the traces on the ground carefully, Chu Yuning looked up in the direction of the bandits' descent down the mountain.

There was a dark mass in front of it, and the mountain shadows overlapped, as if there was no end.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

The mountain descended, over the canyon, and on the opposite side of the mountainside, it seemed to be flickering with a sparkling fire!

Counting the itinerary of the bandits, although they had horses, the mountain road was steep and winding, and the road was not easy to travel, and the role of horses was more to carry the looted goods.

I guess the place where the thieves live is halfway up the mountain opposite!

Along the way, Chu Yuning had already concluded that when they were robbed, they did not take the official road, but a shortcut to Beijing.

Thinking of this, her scalp tightened.

From Yangzhou all the way to the official road are safe and sound, but when they are fast into the capital, they choose a small road, and they are looted by bandits, and the gang seems to be waiting for them in advance!

What an ulterior conspiracy and calculations are there!

Chu Yu stared at the starlight on the mountainside and went out, her heart was gloomy, she had already exhausted her strength, even if she climbed over, she was still small and weak, and her mother was now ......

As soon as she thought of this possibility, she felt a terrible pain in her heart and a terrible hatred.

Why not give yourself a day earlier? In just one day, she can persuade her mother not to take the path, and she can avoid all this today!

The mountain breeze blew, blowing Chu Yu's wet hair on her cheeks, blowing the slimy coat on her body that I don't know if it was dry or wet.

Dizzy and groggy, her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, she clutched the last strip of cloth tightly in her hands, and her knees were bent and weak, like duckweed with severed roots, and fell to the ground.

"Yu Ning, don't sleep yet, wake up quickly!" A pair of powerful arms lifted her up from the ground, Chu Yuning opened her eyes, in the misty morning mist, looking at the face in front of her, she couldn't help but have a sour nose, "Dad!" ”

"My son suffered!" Chu Kuo hurriedly raised his hand to wipe Chu Yuning's tears, but Chu Yuning had already come down from his knees, his feet fell to the ground, Fang Jue was so sour that he almost couldn't stand.

Thanks to a hand from the side, he helped her behind the waist.

Chu Yuning didn't have time to pay attention to that hand, staring at Chu Kuo with eyes as bright and frightened as a deer, and said anxiously; "Yesterday there was a fire on the opposite side of the mountainside, and my mother is now determined to be there! Dad, go and rescue your mother! Don't let them run away! ”

Chu Kuo looked at her and smiled bitterly, stroked her head with his big big palm, and replied with a little hesitation: "Okay." ”

Chu Yuning was a little anxious, pulling his father's sleeve, "Dad!" Let's go! ”

Chu Kuo didn't move.

"Daddy!" Chu Yu screamed anxiously.

"Yu Ning, you stay here, Dad will save your mother." Chu Kuo smiled a little sadly, and instructed the chief steward on the side, "You are here to accompany the girl." After speaking, he turned over his horse and whipped away.

Chu Yuning ran a few steps after her father's horse, and her eyes seemed to be glued to the group of people, until the morning mist covered everything and she couldn't see anything.

"Girl, the warmth on your body has not subsided, the mountain breeze is cold, drink some water to moisten your throat." The chief steward raised his hand and put a cloak on her, and handed her a kettle.

Chu Yuning took it and took a few sips.

A hand stretched out to the side and handed over a few pieces of pastry wrapped in oiled paper.

Chu Yuning shook his head, and the hand silently retracted.

Half an hour later, the sound of swords fighting could be faintly heard in the thick fog.

Only then did Chu Yuning remember that the group of bandits had killed all the dart masters and family members, and that skill must have been ruthless.

The tip of her eyebrows condensed slightly, and the chief steward seemed to have seen through what she was thinking, and comforted her gently: "Girl, don't worry, the master brings all the kung fu in his body, and he will be fine." ”

But he couldn't stop sighing in his heart, if his wife was in this situation, if she unfortunately died outside, maybe the imperial court would also issue a plaque to reward the chaste martyr. But if you come back alive, how will you live in the future!

About two hours later, when the rising sun pierced the clouds and broke through the fog, the heavy sound of horses' hooves came from down the mountain.

Chu Yuning galloped wildly and ran towards her father's horse.

"Mother!" She couldn't hold her feet and almost hit the horse's hooves.

Chu Kuo bent down and lifted her up and threw her behind.

Chu Yuning hugged her father's waist and leaned forward, but saw that her mother was tightly wrapped in a cloak, and she couldn't even see a strand of hair.

And the father, with his straight shoulders and back, collapsed extremely tightly, as if he would explode immediately at the slightest touch.

She pursed her lips silently, silently without saying a word.

The three of them rode together, rushed to the sunset, and returned to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing.

Chu Kuo first lifted Chu Yuning off the horse, and then picked up the Su clan who was wrapped in the cloak and walked towards the house.

Chu Yuning trotted all the way behind her father, and when her father stepped into the main courtyard and wanted to enter the hall, she heard her mother's low voice, "Prepare water, bathe, dirty." ”

The father's figure was stunned, and with a twist of steps, he went to the clean room in the east room.

The servants in the village had already moved, preparing water for the ground, and taking clothes for the clothes.

Chu Yuning raised her foot and wanted to follow up, but was stopped by a servant woman in her thirties.

"Girl, would you like to go to the hall and sit down first, and then come back after the lady has finished bathing?" The servant woman gently admonished.

Chu Yuning nodded, but his feet did not move.

She stood there like a petrified statue, staring at the door of the clean room without blinking, as if she could see through it and see everything inside.

The servant sighed lightly, and finally stopped persuading.

The sound of dripping water sounded in the clean room, and along with the sound of water, there was a suppressed low sob.

"Ahh There was a sudden hint of panic in her mother's voice.

Chu Yuning's shoulders shook in shock, and suddenly he rushed in with an arrow step and pounced on the edge of the bathtub.

She had been on the horse for a day, and she had used up almost all the strength of her body.

"Mother!" The kitten-like moaning makes people tremble to listen to.

Chu Kuo stretched out his hands stiffly from the bathtub, lowered his eyes and looked at the only daughter who was sitting on the ground, only a short glance, but Chu Yuning clearly saw that the light in his father's eyes was silent, and it was dark and dark, as if he had fallen into the vast dark night, endless darkness.

There was a sound of water.

Su Shi wiped the water on his face, stretched out his bruised arm, and touched Chu Yuning's slippery face with difficulty, "Yu Ning, don't cry, don't be afraid." My mother washed it, and it was always cleaner. ”

This seems to be said to himself, as well as to the man next to him.

Chu Kuo's eyes trembled, his robe was soaked with water stains, he stood stiffly for a moment, and suddenly walked out with a depressed face.

Chu Yuning looked at his father's back as if he had aged several years in an instant, and his eyelashes trembled.

If she hadn't rushed in so desperately, wouldn't her father have grabbed her mother by the neck and pressed her into the tub and drowned her?

Father can't help but do this, but what about grandmother? What about the rest of the Chu clan?

I'm afraid that everyone wants their mother to die outside, so as not to embarrass them!

Even in his previous life, didn't he avoid his mother?

In this life, she doesn't ask for anything, but wants to accompany her mother and go through the sacks of this world.

Don't let her be in despair, a lonely heart, and finally alone, not into the nunnery.
