Chapter 38: Escape from Pingcheng
I watched the raging fire and felt a pang of apprehension. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, the fire was also found in the city, and everyone shouted that Wenda Villa was out of the water, and spontaneously carried equipment to fight the fire. I went back to the mansion and woke up Ye Keting and the eldest brother of the guard, and took them out of the city. But there were also many Wen family guards at the city gate. I told my eldest brother to go back to the city to find his chief, and I took Ye Keting back to the small mansion.
Ye Keting kept nervously asking me if something happened to Daddy and Auntie, but I didn't answer, and even had to return to Wenda Villa. Seeing his crumbling appearance, I quickly supported him and told him that this was a ploy by the owner and his wife to make the enemy relax. Seeing his suspicious appearance, I said to him again: "Now that Master Ye Zhuang has asked us to take the opportunity to report the news to the backer city or the Sangong Mansion, if you go back rashly like this, I am afraid that it will affect Master Ye's plan." "I also told him what Mrs. Ye said to me just now, so that he could remember the nursery rhyme.
After I said this, Ye Keting was still not at ease. Fortunately, he is a business-oriented person and is willing to go out of town with me. Now Ye Rongchuan and Ye Zhiqiu are in the Sangong Mansion, so he decided to go to the backing city with me.
I was a little worried about his body, and he smiled at me with a pale face and said it was okay. I discussed with Ye Keting about leaving the city, and I told him that there were many details at the gate of the city now, and if he went out rashly, there would definitely be interceptions halfway. So taking advantage of the chaos, Ye Keting and I got mixed up in the city tower. Two familiar soldiers were found to change their clothes and hide their whereabouts. By the way, I asked Ye Keting to arrange for these two soldiers to find sturdy ropes and bamboo baskets.
We mingled quietly among the guards guarding the wall, and when the hour was over, the two of us sat down in the basket and let our cronies let us out of the city from the corner. Everything is in place, but there are still two horses missing. If you put it in a basket, the horse won't be able to agree to it. We found two credible horsemen, let them ride out of the city, and then they went up again in the basket when we came down.
Everything went smoothly, and when Ye Keting and I were about to ride around the path, a bell rang from the city wall in the distance, and there was a whimper in the city. I didn't have a good heart, so I forced a smile and said to Ye Keting: "You said that we went so secretly, and they rang the bell to see us off, isn't this exposed." ”
Ye Keting's face turned pale, and he told me word by word: "This is the nine death knells, where is there still a Taishou in Pingcheng." It's Daddy and Auntie..."Before he finished speaking, he planted his horse and went down.
I reached out to catch him, but I couldn't catch it at all, so I fell off my horse with him. Ye Keting's face is now bloodless, his lips are pale, and if he delays any longer, he is afraid that his family of three will be reunited. And at this moment, I felt that my head was gone, leaving only a blank space and a distant whimper in my ears.
This is the first time I have experienced great compassion in the world, I looked at Ye Keting in my arms and couldn't help but feel sad, crying loudly, it turned out that the destruction of the family was only an overnight thing. The Wen family is scheming and colluding with the imperial court, I am afraid that it will not be a day or two. The master has been affectionate and wrong all his life, and Mingshan has been turned upside down, and I am afraid that it is not so simple.
I just let myself cry for a long time, and when I was tired of crying, I calmed down. The Wen family attacked the Ye family in order to obtain the southeast for the imperial court, and in order to get the lock and key, they would spare no effort to find the three brothers and sisters of the Ye family. I looked down at me, who was dressed in thin ribs, if I was asked to escort Ye Keting to the northwest mountain city alone, it would be to let a sheep guard a golden sheepdog, as if it was joking.
I fed Ye Keting a piece of salvia and told him that it might hurt but he had to hold on. I dragged, dragged, held, and carried Ye Keting to put him on the horse, but he was tall and strong, I was tired and panting, and his face was red from pain.
I sat on the ground and gasped, thinking to myself that this is not good, Ye Keting had already escaped death, if I tossed it away, the second elder of the Ye family would have to take me away.
I removed the saddle and let Ye Keting sit on it, and tied him with a rope. I held the rope on my shoulder with one hand, and led the horse forward with the other. I kept hypnotizing myself, I was like a ploughing cow, I could only move forward, and if I walked slowly, the master would pump me.
Finally, when the sky was slightly white, I saw the man who thought he was a shoulder seller, and I asked him to help me help Ye Keting to the horse and fix it with a rope. I took advantage of this gap to quickly pick a handful of sherb and put it on my hands and shoulders to stop the bleeding, especially the clothes on my shoulders have been worn out by the straw rope, oozing mottled blood. After the big brother of the merchant finished cleaning up, I immediately stopped Ye Keting from bleeding and ate ginseng tablets and hung his breath, seeing that his breathing was weak but smooth, my heart finally let go.
I gave the merchant a piece of silver, and told him that in a moment our men would come and join us, and that you must show them in my direction. After saying that, I also got on the horse, and when I held the reins in my hand, I had to comfort myself, the rice and white flour have been raised for so many years, and today it is finally useful, play well, don't be hypocritical.
Seeing that the merchant walked away, I immediately turned around and headed in the direction of Zhongdu. In addition to the brain-dead princes, there is also an old man.
After galloping for a day, Ye Keting woke up halfway, but he just lay on the horse without saying a word, and he ignored me no matter how I talked to him. I can understand his feelings, but I can't dissuade him from being sad, it's nonsense, there's nothing sadder than that. If Master leaves one day, I will even hate why life is alive and dead. But life always has to go on.
Although I had already had a one-day trip, I was still in Pingcheng, so I didn't dare to stay in a store, so I found a farmhouse, saying that my brother had a stroke and wanted to go to Pingcheng for treatment. Handing over a piece of silver, the old couple hurriedly stewed a chicken to make up for Ye Keting's body. I checked Ye Keting's money bag and found that it was quite heavy, but I had to live all the way, so I wanted to count the silver taels, which was related to the quality of the food we ate all the way to Zhongdu.
But when I poured out all the contents of the money bag, I was completely dumbfounded, and it was not the silver tael that weighed heavily but the iron leaf token. But the money had already been given to the old couple, and I couldn't come back, so I secretly decided that before I left, I would ask them for a pair of bowls and a stick of firewood, but it really didn't work, so I sang the lotus flower and fell into the capital. I always live up to the entrustment of the Ye family and his wife.
Ye Keting was shrunk at the head of the bed at this time, facing the wall, motionless. I took the chicken broth and mixed it with the powder, and fed it to him with a spoon, but he didn't even look back. My hands were already sore, steamed, and I couldn't hold the soup bowl steadily. I put my hand in front of his eyes and told him, "I have taken my own blood and put it in the soup to nourish you, and it will be in vain if I don't drink it." ”
He remained calm and completely ignored. I sat behind him and patted him gently, but couldn't find good words to reassure him, and now what he needed most was companionship. He didn't drink the chicken soup, so I fed it to his mouth spoonful by spoonful, drinking less and more, at least eating.
After nightfall, I slept on the straw mat on the ground, and in a trance, I suddenly heard Ye Keting scream and sat up. I was completely stunned by this shout, and I jumped up and slammed on the edge of the bed, not knowing where I was for a while.
I didn't care about the pain, I covered my head to see what was wrong with him? Just look at him sweating profusely, his expression is confused, and his eyes and face are full of sadness. I knew he was half-asleep and half-awake when he remembered his parents. I reached out and gently held him, helping him wipe the sweat from his forehead. Tell him, it's okay, I'll be there for you. In fact, at this time I was amazed at my softness and calmness, qualities that were not prominent in my personality, were completely aroused tonight. I just want to use my emotions to influence Ye Keting, to calm him down, so that he can pass this period of pain smoothly.
But this night, Ye Keting didn't really get a moment of relief, the weakness of his body made him sleep, and the heaviness of his heart woke him up, torturing himself again and again. My hands were clutched tightly by him, and I couldn't sleep. The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have life and death. The waning moon is like a hook tonight, when will it be round?
From a waning moon, I saw the morning star shine. After this night, my arms could no longer be bent, but could only be stretched straight and straight. I now have a deep suspicion that this is how the elbow turned out.
