Chapter 54: Escape
The bitter winter wind whistled outside the house, like the wailing of wild ghosts. Outside, there was another whistling sound, and the carved wooden window was pushed open and slammed against the wall. The cold air then poured into the room, instantly blowing out the faint oil lamp on the table.
The cold swept through the whole body, You Wu's hands were weak, and then he woke up, and the sleepiness disappeared without a trace. She opened her eyes wide, but the darkness in front of her was boundless, the faint light before was completely gone, and she was terrified in her heart, trembling and said, "Master! ”
There was no answer in the room, and You Wu stood up in horror, reaching forward with her hand, groping for movement. Suddenly, there was a 'creaking' sound in her ears, and she moved, and her whole body tensed.
The door was slowly opened, and it was still dark in front of her, and she didn't dare to make a sound, and the fear in her heart made her unconsciously move her steps and step back. There was silence in the room, and suddenly, a slight impact sounded, You Wu was stunned in his mind, and his body had involuntarily fallen backwards.
A muffled snort followed, and she felt that she had fallen upside down, and the person had fallen to the ground.
"Woman, you're so heavy!" A slightly immature male voice came from underneath, and at the same time, You Wu felt a push from his back, and then he realized that he was pressing on Xiao Zhengtai.
The old face was red, and she held on to the edge of the bed and wanted to stand up, but before she could exert her strength, the thrust behind her increased again, and she only felt that her body was rolling, and her face brushed the sheets on the edge of the bed, and the person seemed to have rolled into the bottom of the bed.
A few spins, a little dizzy in her head, she rolled over and lay on her side, and as soon as she spat out a 'you', her mouth was violently covered.
"Someone!" A slight voice sounded in front of him, You Wu was stunned, closed his mouth tightly, and didn't dare to move again.
The window was still rattling, and the wind was constantly whispering, and after a while, an unusual noise sounded, and the door seemed to be pushed open. Then, the room fell silent again, and little by little, just when You Wu thought that the door might be blown open by the wind, a slight footstep sounded in his ears.
At this time, if You Wu's eyes can see, she can see a pair of big feet stopping in front of the bed when she crosses Xiao Zhengtai's body.
The body gradually stiffened, the ground was cold, and the cold soaked into the flesh and spread to the bone marrow. You Wu clenched her teeth, clenched and trembled, trying not to make a sound. At this moment, the man's whisper came into You Wu's ears.
"No one!"
"Let them run, go."
In just two sentences of dialogue, You Wu's mind was blank, and when he woke up again, he only felt that a century had passed. The two lay quietly under the bed, silent. I don't know how long the people outside have been gone, and their bodies have been completely paralyzed, but the horror in You Wu's heart has increased unabated.
Xiao Zhengtai snorted softly, broke the silence, and said, "Sure enough!" ”
"You know?" You Wu was terrified in his heart, tonight, if it weren't for the two of them hiding under the bed, now, I am afraid that they are already the souls of their swords. It's just that she thinks of the scene during the day, and she won't doubt them anyway.
"Stupid people can't see the flaws in it, and you happen to be that one." The immature but underbeaten voice sounded in his ears, You Wu was annoyed, but he had nothing to say, a faint sadness filled his heart, sighed lightly, and said sadly: "I thought she was a good person." ”
"What a stupid! Woman! Xiao Zhengtai didn't pity You Wu's sadness, and immediately interrupted. You Wu was furious, raised his hand and slapped him, hit him on the head, and scolded: "Little brat, what kind of woman, you want to call my sister!" ”
"Bold!"
"I'm still daring!"
He had never quarreled with anyone, and in the dark, Xiao Zhengtai's face was flushed, but he didn't spit out a word, he twisted his head, unwilling to pay attention to her anymore.
Feeling the faint warmth gradually moving away from him, the corners of You Wu's mouth hooked a smile, and he stretched out his hand to grab him, "You know what? You are very much like my brother, old and arrogant, and you all dislike me! ”
She smiled slightly, as if she was bitter and relieved, her breathing was a little short, she reached out to touch her chest, and slowly suppressed the unrest in her heart.
"The woman is a good person." A muffled hum sounded, and You Wu was stunned, a little unclear.
Xiao Zhengtai looked awkward and explained: "The woman in the store is a good person, you are not mistaken. ”
"Then, why ......" Why is the voice of the thief actually the man of the shop! I thought they were just victimized townspeople, but it turned out to be thieves who killed other townspeople.
"If I'm not mistaken, he is not the husband of the shopkeeper at all, and the husband of the shopkeeper is afraid that he would have died tragically at the hands of the thieves, and this place has most likely become a den of thieves. Today, the words of the shopkeeper are just to remind us. ”
You Wu was stunned for a moment, remembering that the shopkeeper said, 'Go quickly, if you don't leave, as soon as it gets dark, you won't be able to leave.' Then she said, 'Are you already being targeted by them?' Repeating two sentences, as if intimidating, is actually trying to remind them that they are really being targeted.
The team entered the town last night, and there were more than a dozen strong guards in the team, if there was a disturbance around, the guards would naturally be able to find it, but the road was silent, which meant that no one noticed them, and the only person they contacted was the shopkeeper. The woman also wanted to tell them this, but before she could remind her, she was trapped in her arms by the man behind her, unable to move.
Thinking about it like this, the picture of the previous contact with the shopkeeper came to mind, and the more You Wu thought about it, the more frightened she became! Why women are so frightened when they hear a knock on the door; Why did she not ease her horror after being held in the arms of the man, but cried out in fear, and her words were full of despair, and there were always signs of strangeness in it, but she did not even notice it at all.
"Now, what are we going to do?" She knew that there were guards in the team, but after such a long time, they didn't arrive, and she was afraid that it was already more than lucky.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhengtai pounded the floor angrily and sighed: "I can only rely on it!" He took out two cylindrical items from his chest, handed one to You Wu, and commanded: "Wait a minute, I will take you out secretly, hide in the forest, and then pull this thing in your hand, and after that, someone will come to save us." ”
"And what if it's discovered?"
"If you are discovered, immediately pull the barrel of the cannon in your hand, and be careful to let it burn in the open sky, don't worry, someone will come to our rescue immediately."
You Wu squeezed the barrel tightly in his right hand, and a layer of wet sweat broke out in his palm. The left hand was suddenly grabbed by someone, and a slight cough sounded, "You can't see, I'll run with you!" Xiao Zhengtai seemed a little embarrassed, and his voice was slightly unnatural.
"Hmm." The fear in his heart was slightly diluted, and a smile appeared on You Wu's face, they would definitely return safely.
There was not a sound around, and without hesitation, the two of them immediately got out from under the bed and quickly ran out of the house. You Wu couldn't see it, Xiao Zhengtai ran in front to guide the conductor, maybe it was the survival instinct that exploded, when the two ran out of Jingxi Town and came to the edge of the forest, You Wu didn't fall down once.
Stopping at the edge of the forest, the two took a slight breath, and Xiao Zhengtai immediately took out the cannon barrel and said without hesitation: "Release!" ”
