Chapter 132: Shelter from the rain
The face of the flowing wind and snow changed, and someone was following them behind them! If it weren't for the son's discovery, they would still be in the dark.
The two of them couldn't help but reflect in their hearts, they were really too carefree these days, and even the most basic vigilance was relaxed a lot.
This can't be done, they are Childe's maidservants and guards, they should have found suspicious characters in advance, how can they let Childe take the lead.
What's the use of them if they go on like this?
The two glanced at each other, and without waiting for Pei Xiu's instructions, they flew out like green smoke, and after a while, the two of them flew back with one of them, leaving the person in front of Pei Xiu.
Needless to say, this unlucky guy is naturally the person sent by Zhao Yi, the shopkeeper of cyclamen, to follow Jiang Rong and the others.
His name is Yuan Li, and he was shot in the shoulder by a blade of grass picked by Pei Xiu before, and now he was thrown to the ground again, and he immediately felt so painful that he lay on the ground and screamed in pain.
Liufeng couldn't see a big man's soft egg like a crying father and mother, so he kicked it and shouted, "What are you shouting?" If you shout again, you'll cut out your tongue! ”
Yuan Liden screamed in his heart, this is a hard stubble, with a light leaf can hit himself dozens of feet away, it can be seen that his kung fu is not bad!
And this girl looked beautiful and lovely, but she didn't expect to be so ruthless, and she was about to cut off his tongue when she opened her mouth.
Where does he dare to call? Immediately, he endured the pain and closed his mouth, but the beads of sweat on his forehead were dripping, and it hurt!
He knew that the man who shot just now was still merciful, otherwise the leaf would not have shot his shoulder, but his heart.
It's just that it still hurts.
This girl still doesn't allow him to call, isn't it embarrassing for him!
And then I thought, they won't kill people, right? Isn't his life in jeopardy? Don't wow, he hasn't married a wife and had a baby, how can he die here at a young age.
No, he's going to have to figure it out!
But how can they dispel their suspicions without revealing their identities?
Before Yuan Li could come up with a reason, he heard a faint and cold voice like a secluded spring above his head, "Who sent you?" What is the purpose? ”
Somehow, this voice didn't give people a sense of oppression, and it was strange to listen to it tightly, but he just couldn't afford to resist at all.
But if he wants to betray his master, he can't do it anyway.
It's just that he doesn't want to say that it's one thing, and it's another thing that there is such a thing as "real spaghetti" in this world.
The medicinal powder developed by Jiang Rong has not been used up yet, and Pei Xiu is just using it on Yuan Li at this time.
In just a quarter of an hour, Yuan Li poured out everything he knew under the control of the medicine powder.
Only then did Pei Xiu and the others know the purpose of Yuan Li following them, it turned out that the big boss behind their firm wanted to find Jiang Rong and others.
As for why he was looking for them, Yuan Li was just a small minion at the bottom, where did he know the thoughts of the big boss?
After the explanation, Yuan Li came to his senses, and suddenly felt like a mourner, his face was full of despair, it was over, he actually leaked the task, this time it was these people who let him go, and he didn't have any good fruit to eat when he went back!
Liufeng glanced at him and asked Pei Xiu, "Childe, how to deal with this person?" ”
Yuan Li suddenly had a spirit, it's over, these people are going to kill people!
Pei Xiu said: "I knocked out and hung it on the tree." ”
Yuan Li was ecstatic for a moment, this person didn't plan to kill him! The next moment, his head was black and unconscious.
After the flowing wind knocked Yuan Li unconscious, he tied the person, threw the rope to the big branch, and then pulled the end of the rope down, and Yuan Li was hanged up.
She tied the rope firmly to the trunk of the tree, and it was done.
Liufeng slapped her face, and after a while, Hui Xue also returned, she went to destroy the markers left by Yuan Li along the way, so as to avoid the people behind following the traces left by this person to chase after her.
In fact, if you want to talk about it, wouldn't it be easier to kill Yuan Li directly? Why bother to hang him to a tree?
That's right, it's just that Pei Xiu and the others are not murderous, so there is no need to kill people at every turn.
But more importantly, they didn't perceive the malice of the big boss behind him from this man's words, and it seemed that he was just looking for someone.
So there is no need to be a killer, in case that one knows Jiang Rong and them.
However, just in case, Pei Xiu still hung the person, no matter whether the one who was looking for the person was going to be unfavorable to Jiang Rong and them, and when they came over, Jiang Rong and they had already gone far.
also because of the interruption of Pei Xiu and the others, Li Changyuan had already obtained Jiang Rong's whereabouts, but when they really found someone, they were still delayed for a few days.
That's for later.
Let's say that after Jiang Rong and they left, the people in the car were a little depressed, and no one spoke for a while.
Jiang Rongben got a large amount of merit points for completely ending Pei Xiu's matter, which was 588 points, but because of the separation, this joy was greatly reduced.
After two or three more days, Jiang Rong sensed that Brother Ping'er was not far from him and the others, so he tightened his itinerary even more, and he never stopped in the town on the way, and camped directly in the wild.
However, on this day, there was a sudden rain on the sky, which was still small at first, and did not hinder the hurry, but after a while the rain fell rapidly, straight like a scoop, and flowed down with a bang, and the road soon became muddy, and it was difficult for cars and horses to walk.
You can't get on the road, you have to find a place to stay.
Mo Chuan drove the carriage aside, jumped out of the carriage and went down the road, and found that there was a village in the col three or four miles ahead, and hurried back to drive the carriage to that place.
Jiang Rong looked out through the gauze curtain, the originally sunny sky had become dark and dark, and the falling rain had merged into small streams on the dirt road, washing the originally uneven mountain road.
She was about to lower the curtain of the car, when a dark purple flashed in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help but wonder, is that a purple mountain? She stared at it, and the exposed mountains on both sides of the mountain road were indeed a dark purple color.
Because of the rain, the purple color is even brighter.
Isn't this purple mud?
In a short time, the carriage came to the entrance of the col, where there was indeed a small village.
At this time, an old man carried a bundle of firewood and hurried to the village, the old man's head was soaked through, and even the bundle of firewood probably absorbed a lot of water, obviously heavier than in the past, and bent the old man's waist.
Mo Chuan saw it and said to Jiang Rong, and when the carriage passed by the old man, Jiang Rong hurriedly greeted the old man, "Uncle, are you going to enter the village?" Come on, let's give you a ride. ”
The old man was startled at first, hesitated, and before he could refuse, Mo Chuan got out of the car and unloaded the firewood on the old man's body and put it on the side of the wheel, and pulled the old man up.
Only then did the old man react, and when he saw that the little girl was about to let him in when he opened the car door, he suddenly felt that his hands and feet were not his own, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, my old man is just outside here." ”
Hong Liangji has never been in a carriage in his life, but he didn't expect to meet a kind person who is willing to give him a ride when he is old, he just rubs it outside, where can he go inside? Don't get their carriages dirty.
Although he could see that this little girl was sincerely inviting him to get in the car, he couldn't help but wonder what was wrong?
Seeing the old man's restraint, Jiang Rong no longer insisted.
There is a canopy on the wheels, and although it is inevitable that rain will drift in, it is much better than outside.
Mo Chuan asked, "Where is your home, uncle?" We'll send you there first. ”
Hong Liangji pointed to a location, and then asked, "Are you looking for a place to hide from the rain?" If you don't like it, you can go to my house. ”
Mo Chuan hurriedly said: "The old man said that he laughed, it is raining heavily in the sky, it would be good for us to have a tile to cover our bodies, what else do you dislike or dislike?" Then we're going to bother. ”
Hong Liangji waved his hand and said, "What a bother!" I haven't thanked you yet, old man. ”
The carriage drove straight to Hong Liangji's house.
Outside the courtyard, under the grass shed at the entrance of the courtyard, there was an old woman standing eagerly, it was Hong Liangji's wife Yuan, she saw her old man come back in a carriage, she couldn't help but be surprised, but she couldn't care about this at the moment.
Seeing that the old man was drenched in soup, it was like, but he didn't catch a cold and fell ill.
Yuan hurriedly greeted the general, pulled Old Man Hong under the grass shed, and took a cotton towel to wipe his head and face.
Old man Hong took the cotton towel himself and said to her, "Didn't you see a guest coming to the door?" Don't hurry in. ”
Entering the courtyard, Jiang Rong looked around and found that the farmhouse yard here was very different from that in Peach Blossom Village.
Outside, there was a large courtyard enclosed by a fence, about one person high, and the fence was crawling with green vines, which were even more verdant after the rain, like a green curtain. It was dotted with a few bright yellow flowers, and many of them had been beaten into the mud.
The whole house was almost entirely made of wood, and the foundation was raised a few feet high, and the bottom was empty, as if it were used for raising chickens, and the undulating roosters could be heard inside.
The architectural style is very similar to the stilted building of the Tujia family, surrounded by wooden corridors on three sides, with grass as a canopy, and the pillars of the corridor are hung with air-dried bacon and some dried vegetables.
Entering the house, there is a large hall house, separated by bamboo curtains on the left and right sides, and there seems to be a courtyard behind the hall.
The furniture in the house is very dark, it must have been many years, but it has been polished smooth by the owner, and the wooden floor on the ground is also dusty. It can be seen that this family is a clean-loving person.
After entering the house, Old Man Hong hurriedly beckoned: "Sit, sit, don't be polite, just treat it as your own home." ”
He urged Yuan to boil water tea, "There is nothing to entertain at home, don't dislike it." ”
"No, no, uncle, you don't have to be busy, otherwise we won't be able to go." Li Shi said busily. (To be continued.) )
