Chapter 330: Heavenly Time (First Update 4K)
Xiao Lei nodded, ate the remaining mullet potstickers in a few bites, and swallowed them completely before saying, "I know, mother." But, mother, did you send a letter to my sister? - My sister must be in a hurry. ā
"Sent. It's a pity that it's a few days late. Shen Yongjie shook her head with some regret, holding the teacup and groaning, "The two of us got sick when we arrived in Nanzhengguo, and it took two more days to subdue Xiaodong, and immediately asked him to help send us the first letter." It has only been about seven or eight days now, and I see that the letter has just arrived in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom. ā
Xiao Lei remembered his sister's anxious appearance, and sighed, "I hope my sister will see the letter immediately." After speaking, he looked up at the moon outside the window, held his cheeks with his hands, and said, "...... Mother, my sister doesn't know how she got married. ā
This is the last thing Shen Yongjie wants to think about.
How much effort and time she spent preparing for her daughter's marriage, but now not only has she not been able to attend her wedding, but she has been kidnapped from her home......
"Your sister is in a hurry, she must not have the heart to get married, and maybe she wants to postpone the wedding." Shen Yongjie still knows a lot about her daughter, although she has only been back for more than a year, she already knows this daughter's way of doing things and her style of doing things, "However, with your grandfather's family, your eldest aunt, grandmother, and grandfather, especially the Xie family, of course they will not let your sister be a demon moth." ā
Xiao Lei pouted and said unhappily: "However, I want to carry my sister on the sedan chair, and I have been thinking about it for a long time." ā
He knew that he was not tall and strong enough, so he had been practicing bow horses desperately for the past two years, even more diligently than learning those subsets of scriptures and histories.
Just in he has improved a lot. When he was able to carry someone as big as his sister, he lost such an opportunity because of external forces.
If they are not taken captive, they will be cured before they get married. Then you will be able to attend her wedding.
Unexpectedly, their illness was indeed cured before the eighth day of October on the wedding of Yingsleeve, but they had already left the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.
"Mother, you say, who did this? Why did they suddenly change their minds? Xiao Lei looked left and right, and saw that no one was nearby, so he quietly asked Shen Yongjie This He asked after thinking for a long time.
Shen Yongjie smiled and said, "What's so hard to guess about this?" The people who did it. Obviously, they could have killed us with a single sword, but unfortunately, I don't know what stumbled them. Or rather, threatened them, they changed their minds and did not kill us. Rather, it sends us away. ā
Shen Yongjie and Xiao Lei were just kidnapped on the first day. The two of them were locked up in a small, dark cellar, where the smell was so bad that they didn't know what it was containing.
The two of them were kept inside for a whole day and a night, and no one brought them food to eat or a drop of water to drink.
The condition of the two deteriorated dramatically, and the rash on their bodies became more pronounced.
Shen Yongjie thought that their mother and son would not escape this catastrophe, and had already prepared for the worst and wanted to leave a little clue. When the cuff is found in the future, he will know what happened.
As a result, it was not yet dawn the next day. Then they opened the cellar, took them out of it, and gave them food and water, and did not want the lives of their mothers and sons.
Shen Yongjie scared them, saying that she and Xiao Lei had pox, which was much more lethal than chickenpox, so these people didn't even dare to touch them, for fear of infection.
Later, it happened that one of these people who guarded their mother and son really got a pox diagnosis, I don't know if it was contracted outside, or because of the guards Shen Yongjie and Xiao Lei.
In short, after the person got acne and was sent away, the people guarding Shen Yongjie and Xiao Lei changed a group of people, that is, Liu Touer, a group of people originally from Nan Zhengguo.
As soon as these seven people came, Shen Yongjie keenly felt that these people were different from the miscellaneous troops who guarded them before.
Liu Tou'er and these people are obviously more capable, have a higher status, and act more secretively.
As soon as they came, they took the medicine and the cart and moved them away.
Shen Yongjie and Xiao Lei later fell ill and fell unconscious, and they were all taken care of by these people all the way.
These seven people have four men and three women, the leader is of course the head surnamed Liu, named Liu Yudong, there are also big buildings, two buildings and small buildings, and the three girls are winter rain, spring rain and autumn rain.
In order to rebel against these people, Shen Yongjie did do everything she could, and did not even use any tricks, first exchanged her sincerity for their trust, and then she could go to various conditions.
"My mother said that these people are working hard over there because of kindness, power, and money. The people who kidnapped us must be from Yuan Yinglan and Yuan Yingjia's side. So the power they have, we also have, and they are higher than them. As for money, we say second, and no one in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom says first, so we also take advantage of money. The only thing left to compare to theirs is kindness. Mother, what are you going to do? "Xiao Lei has just recovered from a serious illness, and his face has lost a lot of weight, but his eyes are more shiny and crystalline."
"What are we going to do? - Of course, it's to puncture the other party's 'kindness'. Shen Yongjie smiled, "Dawu never needs to give medicine to win the trust and gratitude of the people." ā
"What does my mother mean is that the person who is now frequently giving doctors and medicines and showing favor to the people is not a big witch at all?!" Xiao Lei's eyes brightened.
"Nine times out of ten, it's not." Shen Yongjie rested one hand on the table, five fingers thoughtfully buckled on the table, and her brows frowned slightly, "It's a pity that the plague has passed too long, even if there are flaws, it will definitely not be found now." What a pity...... It's a shame......"
Xiao Lei was also very sorry, the spirit just now was gone, he yawned, "Mother, it's late, let's sleep." ā
Shen Yongjie answered, turned off the light and went to the bed to lie down.
She couldn't sleep yet, thinking in her mind about how to fight against the army, so that the mastermind behind the scenes would not steal chickens and rice!
On the roof of the upper house where Shen Yongjie and Xiao Lei slept, Liu Yudong sat there alone, looking at the moon while taking a sheepskin wine bag and drinking.
After talking to Shen Yongjie today, Liu Yudong inevitably thought of the plague more than ten years ago, which killed almost eight adults there!
It seems to have started since then. The Great Witch began to continuously collect virgins born on the lunar and lunar days in the Southern Zheng Kingdom to sacrifice......
Is there any connection between the two?
Liu Yudong thought about the news he had come to inquire about these days, and fell into deep thought.
He's a pity too. Because the plague has passed for too long.
Even if there is doubt, it is impossible to confirm it now.
I don't know if it's because someone finally remembered this plague, or because it's been too long, and some people think that the person who knows about the plague is no longer alive, so it didn't take long for the same plague as more than ten years ago to finally come quietly.
This time spread out of the place. It is the capital of Nam Jeong-kook.
ā¦ā¦
When Ying Sleeve woke up the next day in a farmhouse in Pu'an Bang, it was already dawn.
She got dressed and found that Master was no longer in the house.
The mattress and blankets on the rattan chaise longue were neatly folded. Place on the side.
On the table was a bowl of steaming white porridge, a plate of salted duck eggs with broken oil, and a small plate of pine mushroom oil dipped in food.
Yingsleeve hurriedly went to fetch water to wash his face, and then sat down for breakfast.
She had just finished eating. So the Master came in. said: "Let's go, the next place to stay in the hotel will be two days away." ā
Yingsleeve hurriedly packed up her things, left a dime of broken silver for the aunt, and then left.
The aunt was watching the excitement at the door, and when she saw them coming out, she hurriedly said, "Ouch, I heard that the people of the Wu family are looking for Gedai." ā
"What's wrong?" Yingsleeve's heart sank. "Did you find it?"
"I heard that the Wu family's family lost a few more. This time, some people said that these people went to Gedai's inn and disappeared. The people of the Wu family went to the House of Gedai to find them. It turned out that the people inside had run out, and there were still a lot of blood stains in front of the house! The aunt pointed in the direction of Gedai's house, "Look, it's over there!" Everybody's gone over there! ā
Ying Sleeve and Master glanced at each other and said to the aunt, "Fortunately, we didn't live there. Thank you for taking me in yesterday. ā
Ying Sleeve thought about it, gave the aunt another piece of silver, and said, "I don't have Nan Zhengguo's coins, you can keep these silver for jewelry." ā
The aunt smiled, pushed it for a long time, and finally accepted it, but when she returned to the house, she packed them with a lot of salted duck eggs and burritos, and let them take them to eat on the road.
Ying Sleeve and Master took advantage of the crowd to run to Gedai's house, and quietly left Pu'an Bang and went to the capital of Nanzheng Kingdom.
The capital of South Zhengguo is surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing water in the south, although the terrain is high, it is very close to the south, and it is a good place for all seasons like spring.
To get from Pu'an Bang to the capital of Nam Zheng State, you have to pass through several high mountains.
They had to time carefully to get to the populated places before sunset.
"Get out of the way!" In the past few days, there have been soldiers sent by the Wu family to rush to Pu'an Bang, riding fast horses and carrying waist knives, all of them are invincible.
Fortunately, Master's skills in driving the car are good, so he can dodge in time before he is made to jump by the Wu family's soldiers every time.
The mansion of the Wu family in the capital of Nanzheng Kingdom is in the south of the capital by the water, and the pond is as big as the sea, and it is called "Tianchi" by visitors from all over the world.
Near Tianchi, there is also a white pagoda as high as 100 zhang, which is very similar to the appearance of the White Pagoda Prison in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.
However, in Nan Zheng Guo, this white pagoda is not a big prison, but a place where the great witch lives and settles, and it is also the most respected place in Nan Zheng Guo.
Every day, near the white pagoda on the edge of the Tianchi, there are people who take incense, candles, and fruits to eat, and kneel down here.
Ying Sleeve and Master had already walked to the place where the white pagoda could be seen, indicating that they were not far from the capital.
Along the way, they saw so many soldiers and generals of the Wu family wearing armor and waist swords, and Ying Sleeve asked very puzzled: "Master, what is the origin of this Wu family in Nan Zheng Kingdom?" Look at this arrogance, it is no different from the small court. ā
"The Wu family is the family of the great witch, and each generation of the great witch will eventually return to the Wu family to be worshipped, you say, what is the status of the Wu family?" Master said lightly, while looking at the surrounding scenery, he faintly felt that something was wrong, but when he looked at the surrounding scenery carefully, there was nothing wrong at all.
He rubbed his hand between his brows.
Nan Zhengguo really restrained him.
The closer he got to the capital, the more sluggish his perception became......
Ying Sleeves sat in the car and looked around.
It's a quiet mountain trail with just the two of them.
They had come down from the mountain, and the road was gradually flattening, and all around them were straight trees, several long in height, and the acacia and five-fingered pines were all over the mountain, and the maple trees, which were already dyed in layers, and everywhere were deep and light reds, sandwiched between one after another.
The cuckoo cries in the woods, and the little squirrel pulls open the pine branches from time to time, looking for the pine tower that has fallen to the ground.
Yingsleeve saw squirrels wandering in the forest from the car window, not afraid of people at all, couldn't help but smile, pointed to those squirrels and said, "Master, look, these squirrels are so cute!" ā
The master glanced at the little squirrels flying around the forest with their big tails, laughed softly, and said, "...... I've seen cuter than these little squirrels......"
"Cuter than them? What is that? Ying Sleeve blinked, very confused.
In her opinion, these little squirrels were simply cute, and she had never seen anything more adorable than them.
The master frowned and thought for a while, and said for a while: "...... It's been a long time, I don't even remember. He stopped talking, stopped the car, and said, "I hear the sound of water nearby, I'll go get some water, and you don't come out of the car." ā
Yingsleeve nodded, lifted the curtain, and stared at the little squirrel.
Master's back had just disappeared into the woods when a woman came over from the woods.
She wears a silver-white crown of flowers and a black Shu brocade high-necked placket with emerald green and black edges, revealing her white and tender arms. There is also a yellow and clear red gold arm on the arm, and the waist is tied with a royal blue gold flower makeup satin fairy skirt, only to the knees, revealing a pair of white and tender calves below, barefoot, wearing golden bells on the ankles, walking among the pine and cypress and red leaves and flowers, step by step lotus, demeanor, the golden bell from far and near, fine and light, like a shadow, will disappear at any time.
Ying Sleeve was stunned.
She's seen this woman, right?
It was what she saw in a dream in a sedan chair on her wedding day!
Yingsleeve's face became whiter and whiter, and the second half of the dream she had in the sedan chair that day had been forgotten, but now it was back in her mind bit by bit!
āā¦ā¦ She doesn't deserve you! No one in this world is worthy of you! Only I can accompany you for thousands of years! - Come back with me, don't waste any more time here! Our people are always looking for you! - You...... Have you really forgotten me? Master? ā
The woman's voice echoed in her head, and her head ached sharply, as if someone had taken a file and chiseled hard into her head, trying to turn out all the hidden things!
"No...... No...... He is my Master! It's mine! Ying sleeves covered her ears and screamed, she couldn't control herself in pain, and rolled off the cart at once!
