CHAPTER XXXIX
The patch man looked at Tong Yan's face pale, knowing that his words had scared Tong Yan. I was afraid that Tong Yan would not be able to bear it if I continued, so I didn't continue. Su Hao listened to it on the side, and then looked at Tong Yan's pale little face, for fear that Tong Yan would faint with fright, he still planned to escape with Tong Yan tonight, and quickly helped Tong Yan sit down.
The patch man stood there, a little embarrassed and wanted to withdraw, but Tong Yan reached out and grabbed his cuffs: "Little brother, please finish it." ”
The patch man looked at Su Hao, Su Hao nodded with a dark face, and the patch man continued: "Mr. Li is also a prestigious person in our place, although he is not a rich person, but he has always given soup porridge to the refugees, but he can't help so many refugees to eat and drink every day, so he decided to take a willing person to Beijing to complain, and want to ask the court to relieve Jiangnan."
But as soon as we arrived here, we were stopped by the officers and soldiers who got the news, and not only did they not let us enter Beijing, but also said that we wanted to rebel. Mr. Li had no choice, so he took us up the mountain. Later, I learned that we were not the only ones on this mountain, but there were other people who came from Jiangnan and wanted to go to Beijing, who were also labeled as rebels and forced to become mountain bandits. ”
"You want to sue the royal court, where is it so easy." Tong Yan lowered his head and let go of the patch man. Although she has only been in the capital for less than half a year, through Tong Huai's affairs, she also knows that nothing is simple and easy in the court.
At this time, someone in the yard called the patch man, and the patch man turned around and left in a hurry this time, and when he closed the door, he specially reminded the two people in the house: "Mr. Li is a good person, he will not harm your life, you can wait for someone to come to the house with peace of mind." ”
Silence returned to the room. Tong Yan's eyes were red, she was very worried about her grandparents, no wonder she didn't reply to the family letter she wrote before, it turned out to be a disaster, maybe her grandparents didn't receive her family letter at all, and she didn't even know if her grandparents were still alive now.
Su Hao saw Tong Yan's sad appearance, he didn't know what to say, comfort people or something, it had never been his forte, so he silently added a bowl of polenta and put it in front of Tong Yan.
Tong Yan picked up the porridge, a tear fell into the bowl, Su Hao scratched his head, this is crying? Before he could come up with any words to comfort Tong Yan, Tong Yan spoke first: "Su Hao, let's run away at night." I'm going to hurry back. The calm tone made Su Hao a little flustered.
However, Su Hao originally planned to escape tonight, so he also responded in one bite, and only asked Tong Yan to eat more, otherwise he would not have the strength to last until dawn, and even after dawn, he didn't know when he would be able to rest. Tong Yan nodded, even if it was like chewing wax, he forced himself to eat a lot. She wants to go home, as soon as possible.
God is also a childish face, this night the dark clouds are heavy, there is not the slightest moonlight, and even the stars are hidden in the clouds. After the guard change shift, Su Hao looked out, and one of the three guards had already taken a nap against the wall, and the other two were also talking absentmindedly against the wall.
Su Hao asked Tong Yan to wait in the house, quietly lifted the window, jumped out, came to the guard who was napping in the dark, secretly lucked, ordered his sleeping hole, and walked around to the two talking guards. The two guards did not notice the dark shadow nearby, Su Hao stunned one of the guards at a very fast speed, and the other guard was about to shout, but Su Hao stuffed a mouthful of dirt, and the shouting was forced back. Su Hao restrained the other party and ordered his sleeping hole. The three guards were now as if they were asleep, and they couldn't wake up even if the sky fell within two hours.
Patting the dirt on his body, Su Hao walked to the front of the hut and weighed the lock on the door. It's so rough, this kind of thing, I shut myself up for days. Then he turned around and went to the yard, squatted down and searched for a long time, and finally found two branches of the right thickness, and then returned to the front of the house, took two branches and turned them upside down, and the lock was opened.
Pushing open the door, Tong Yan hurriedly stepped out and said softly, "Let's go." ”
Su Hao nodded, he didn't care about the difference between men and women at this time, anyway, they had lived in the same house for several days, grabbed Tong Yan's hand, and walked towards the courtyard door. Looking out from the gap in the courtyard gate, there are only a few erratic lights in the distance, it is estimated that they should be the guards who patrol the night, and the rest of the place is pitch black, as long as they bypass the guards and get out of the village, they can run away.
Su Hao opened a wooden door lightly, the wooden door was in disrepair, making a "squeak" sound, Su Hao and Tong Yan held their breath, leaned against the door and waited for a while, seeing that no one found them, then they tiptoed out of the yard, and walked along the root of the wall with their waists.
When the two of them approached the light they had seen before, they saw that sure enough, it was a few patch men walking back and forth carrying lanterns, and not far ahead, it was the gate of the stockade. It's just that this gate is made of old trees in the mountains and forests, and Su Hao can turn it out with the help of light skills, and Tong Yan is a little troublesome. But if you open the deadbolt from the inside and then open the door, it will inevitably alarm the people in the village, Su Hao frowned, not knowing if he could easily cross this gate if he had a childish face.
While the two of them were studying the route of the guard's night patrol under the wall, the man in blue was also staring at the two blurred black shadows under the wall in front of the window not far away. I warned these two people during the day not to try to escape, but I didn't expect these two people to be really brave enough to act tonight. The man in blue shook his head, the disobedient child, he still wants to teach. The man in blue raised his hand and waved, and two patch men came out of the shadows behind him, and the man in blue turned to the two and said, "Don't hurt them." The two of them clenched their fists and jumped out of the window.
At this time, Su Hao took the boy face, had already avoided the guards patrolling the night, and came to the gate of the village. There was a guard on each of the wooden towers on both sides of the gate, but because there was no light, their position happened to be the blind spot of the guard's vision, and the two stopped here. Su Hao looked at the wooden door in front of him, which was nearly a zhang high, turned his head and looked at Tong Yan again, and his heart was bottomless. If he was alone, even if he was found out over the gate, he would be able to escape with light skills, but now with a childish face, he didn't even dare to guarantee that he would cross the gate.
Just thinking of a way, suddenly there was a noise from the guard who was patrolling the night not far away, and someone found the three people who had been ordered to sleep in the small courtyard and rushed out to report the news. The attention of the guards on the wooden tower was also drawn to it. Good luck. Su Hao smiled secretly in his heart, now that everyone's attention is elsewhere, he can just take Tong Yan to open the gate of the village and get out.
And Su Hao was too happy, and before he could touch the deadbolt, he felt his shoulder sink, and someone put it on his right shoulder. At this time, Tong Yan was also startled by the two people who suddenly appeared in front of him, and raised his hand to cover his mouth, for fear that he would scream. Su Hao grabbed the hand on his shoulder with his backhand, wanting to solve the problem quickly, but the person who came dodged Su Hao's hand and reached out to Su Hao's acupoint.
Su Hao and the person who came to recruit him, Tong Yan was killed by another person, his neck was stuck, and he couldn't make a sound. After all, Su Hao can only do some simple kung fu, at most, it is slightly better at light skills, and he was restrained by someone in less than twenty moves.
Soon, the two were thrown back into the previous room, and the man in blue sat in the room, looked at the two people who were thrown in, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, I said it in the daytime, don't annoy me, you guys!" ”
