- Although their Yan family knew what these dozen or so people were doing, others didn't know that if these dozen or so people galloped like this and crossed the two capitals to come here, it would be easy to arouse doubts about the local military defense.

However, Yan Yu quickly thought of the real leader of this passer-by, the subordinates brought out by that person, and his style should not be too careless. So he shook his head secretly, calmed down and didn't think much about it, and walked towards the twelve.

The express letter stated the agreed time for this trip to pick up people, so after receiving the letter, the team leader Liu Sheng knew very well that if he did not set off immediately, it would be equivalent to missing the hour, which was in the discipline of the second group, if he violated, the punishment would be very severe.

Just looking at the handwriting on the letter, although it was a little messy and the strokes were not very steady, Yanagi felt familiar just by looking at it. Because of the dispatch of the mission, the second group received a lot of letters written by Lin Shan, although those letters have been burned after reading, but the pattern of the traces of the text has been deeply imprinted in the minds of the readers.

Because of the familiar handwriting in that letter, Liu Sheng judged that Lin Shan was very likely to be on the list of the Yan family and his party, so she knew that her side of the trip could not be delayed at all, but it still took half an hour to summon people, and it took more than an hour to assemble. But that letter was an order, and the urgency of time was also understood by Liu Sheng, so after the twelve people set off, they took a shortcut and did not spend the slightest time on crossing the city defense.

It is said that it is a shortcut, but in fact, it is only reflected in the characteristics of no obstacles, because there are no people and no water sources along the way. There is not even a path. The twelve men ran wildly for four hours in a row, and when they arrived at the place specified in the letter, they were all covered in dust and dusty. The horses under the seat were also panting and snorting.

After a brief greeting, Yan Yu carefully noticed that the mounts of these people were all wearing down, so he immediately sent the horse breeding employees in his caravan to come forward for a simple inspection and care.

After that, Yan Yu was ready to take this group of people to meet the person they were going to pick up. But after a few steps. Yan Yu hesitated and stopped, looked back at the twelve people covered in dust, and hesitated: "The people you want to pick up all have relatively severe external injuries on their bodies. ”

When the group heard this, they immediately understood. Consciously left ten people in place to wait. Only the two team leaders continued to follow Yan Yu. But the two of them had also taken off the dust-stained clothes they were wearing on the outside, and the clothes inside would naturally be cleaner.

After Yan Yu led the two of them to approach the three vans in the middle of the caravan, he himself took a few steps back. He did not participate in the next meeting or conversation with this passer-by, and he did not want to interfere at all.

Judging from the direction from which Yan Yu and his party came, the first of the three vans was the one in which Lu Sheng and Qiao Cui were riding.

Luo Qing opened the curtain and saw his old acquaintance Qiao Cui, and his mood couldn't help but be a little complicated. It hadn't been long since they last met. Luo Qing followed Lin Shan's order, dragged a few carts of books to the Kejia iron shop for incineration, and met Qiao Cui there, only to know that he had been looking for two groups of old people for a long time without success, and it turned out that he had been hiding in the Kejia iron shop and had been a woodcutter for more than ten years.

When the old people met, there was originally a lot to say, but then Lu Sheng's sudden appearance disrupted the order of steps of several things. On the day of their first meeting, Luo Qing originally had the intention of persuading Qiao Cui to return to the group, but because of Lu Sheng's appearance, he changed his mind.

With Lin Shan's order, Lu Sheng was not allowed to follow him to Kyoto, so when Lin Shan set off, Lu Sheng was locked up in the original station of the second group, but Luo Qing saw Lu Sheng on the ground near Kyoto, which can only show that the second group did not look at it strictly and let him slip away. If Lu Sheng wants to run, who can catch up? There are only two groups of old people in front of him, Qiao Cui.

It's just that Luo Qing didn't expect that his impromptu commission almost made Qiao Cui die in the fire. He hadn't returned to the second group yet, and he didn't need to obey the group's orders, but he still agreed to his commission, and if he died in Kyoto, he didn't know how to wash away the guilt in his heart.

In that express letter, the injuries of several people were also briefly mentioned, but at this time, seeing Qiao Cui, who had both legs and right arm fractured, and looked like a waste man after being splint, Luo Qing still couldn't help but redden, and spoke softly, but could only say two words: "Sorry......"

Qiao Cui smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, I didn't die, otherwise I would have haunted you if I became a ghost." ”

Seeing Luo Qing coming, he completely understood who the Yan family's caravan was waiting for here. In fact, he has long realized that Lin Shan will definitely not take Lu Sheng with him anymore, not that he wants to go against his promise, but that his physical condition is indeed very poor now, not to mention who he takes care of, whether he can survive or not, there is still suspense!

However, seeing the two team leaders come to pick up people in person, Qiao Cui still felt a little surprised. Looking at Liu Sheng, who was hugging Lu Sheng tightly on the side, suppressing his crying and crying straight to tears, Qiao Cui said again: "I know that you sisters and brothers have a deep relationship, but you'd better not get too close." Lu Sheng's internal injuries are not serious, but there are several skin burns on his body, so be careful! ”

Hearing this, Liu Sheng hurriedly let go of Lu Sheng, and sure enough, he saw a cold sweat on Lu Sheng's forehead, which seemed to be caused by the wound she had accidentally touched on him just now.

Liu Sheng and Lu Sheng, both "wild children" who lost their parents in the famine years, came together with another lonely old man on the way to escape the famine, and three people who were not related to each other formed a family. But the friendship between sisters and brothers with different surnames has gone through the test of life and death in the famine years, and it is no less than the blood between biological sisters and brothers.

Seeing that her younger brother was silently enduring the pain of the injury, but it was all caused by her carelessness, Liu Sheng was also distressed, but she wiped her tears, but she said stiffly: "The pain on your body, why don't you say it?" ”

Because Lu Sheng has old diseases in his mind and often causes trouble to the people around him, Liu Sheng often reprimands him as a way to discipline him. Later, both of them joined the second group of Lin Shan's management, and Lu Sheng benefited a lot from following Lin Shan, although his thinking was sometimes easy to go into a fork in the road and make some mistakes. But it's much better than before. However, Liu Xian's habit of reprimanding him without moving has not changed, even if some reprimands are unnecessary for the current Lu Sheng.

And Liu Sheng didn't know that the current Lu Sheng had changed a little strangely from Lu Sheng who secretly ran out of the second group a month ago.

In the face of Liu Sheng's worried blame, if it was the former Lu Sheng, he might be silent or argue a few words. However, the current land life is only silent for a while. Shen Sheng said slowly: "Sister, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

This sentence with a normal logical order made Liu Sheng hear something a little abnormal. Because the younger brother rarely spoke to her in such a tone. And in normal times. Although she firmly believes that her brother will recover completely one day, she still vaguely treats him as a problem brother in her heart.

Liu Sheng subconsciously looked at Qiao Cui, about entrusting Qiao Cui to catch up with Lu Sheng. and brought it back to the commission of the second group, Luo Qing did not hide it from her.

Facing Liu Sheng's questioning gaze, Qiao Cui hesitated slightly, and finally said lightly: "Don't worry, your brother may just be a little frightened." Ouch, when I think back to that day, there were a lot of deaths! ”

As soon as his words fell, he suddenly heard Lu Sheng say: "It was Brother Qiao who saved me, otherwise I might have died." ”

Hearing him say this, not only Liu Sheng, but now even Luo Qing also felt Lu Sheng's strangeness, causing him to have such a change, and the reason was probably not as simple as being a little frightened.

Luo Qing looked at Qiao Cui with a puzzled look in his eyes, as if he wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to ask.

Qiao Cui also looked at Luo Qing, he also wanted to say the unusual things he had observed on Lu Sheng in the past two days, but he quickly realized that this was not something that could be said in a few words, so he raised his eyebrows and only said, "You are here to pick us up, right?" Repay me well when you go back, don't forget! ”

Luo Qing replied gently: "Your remuneration will naturally not be less. Having said that, Luo Qing looked at Qiao Cui and thought that he was so close to Lu Sheng that he would not be unaware of it, and this matter would have to wait until he returned to the group and talk about it slowly.

This thought was set in his heart, and Luo Qing immediately changed his words and said, "What car is Lord Lin in?" ”

"That's the one in the back." Qiao Cui replied casually, but before the words fell, he suddenly thought of a question, and then said, "You don't seem to have to take him back to the group, right?" ”

Knowing that Lin Shan was really here, Luo Qing's face finally showed a heartfelt smile, and he didn't explain anything to Qiao Cui's somewhat hindsightly inquiry, but only said softly: "We need to visit him." ”

Qiao Cui was slightly stunned, watching Luo Qing call Liu Sheng, and go to the car behind him together, he always felt that what Luo Qing said just now was a little strange, but he couldn't figure out what was strange for a while.

At this time, Lu Sheng, who was sitting silently on the side, said coldly: "Before they came, it seemed that they were not sure that Lord Lin was also here. ”

When Qiao Cui heard this, a stir in his brain understood, but he quickly asked suspiciously: "He doesn't need to hide it from them, right?" ”

"I don't know......," Lu Sheng said hesitantly, "I only know that when he set off yesterday, he was in the first car, but because he camped out in the shed last night, by this morning, the order of the carriage was disrupted. ”

Qiao Cuiwu shook his head and said, "This is really messy enough, and if you say it again, it will be even more messy." ”

"Maybe he missed something, so it was messed up." Lu Sheng's voice was a little lower, "Lord Lin is ...... now." Not as energetic as it used to be. ”

Lu Sheng's words also aroused Qiao Cui's melancholy. Although there is still a barrier in his heart that is difficult to get rid of for Lin Shan, if he leaves these for the time being, he also has some respect for Lin Shan. In the early years, this person was also his boss, leading him and other team members to do a few beautiful things, and Chaoyang Yan was also very convinced of this person before his death.

Just when the two of them fell silent, they saw that Luo Qing, who had only been gone for a short time, had returned. Luo Qing's gaze was directed at Lu Sheng, and somehow he became annoyed, and asked, "Take out the letter you took that day, and I will pass it on to Brother Lin." ”

Hearing him mention it, Qiao Cui also remembered this matter, and echoed: "I almost forgot the letter, you said that after you met Master Lin, you went back with me, but on the day you met him, I don't see that you didn't give him the letter, did you forget about it?" ”

Lu Sheng glanced sideways at Qiao Cui, and when he turned around, he also looked at Luo Qing with a straight gaze, and said a little indifferently: "What letter?" ”

In the previous days in the group, the best person for him, except for Lin Shan, was Luo Qing. But somehow, his sister scolded him, it was commonplace, but he was fearless because he was used to it. However, he often felt uneasy about Luo Qing's anger, although Luo Qing rarely got angry with him.

But now, he also felt Luo Qing's displeasure, but his mind was so flat that it was almost indifferent.

It seems that he has long forgotten the letter as Qiao Cui said. And in addition to the matter of faith, his attitude towards certain people has also changed slightly.

Luo Qing looked at Lu Sheng, once again feeling the difference between him and his previous image, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Liu Sheng, who was standing beside him, already had similar feelings, but her feelings for Lu Sheng were different from Luo Qing's, so her judgment was also slightly biased, and she persuaded with some preconceived ideas: "Xiao Lu has a bad memory, don't annoy him." That letter, since even Brother Lin himself has forgotten it, and it is sealed in a pile of old books, maybe it is not an important thing. ”

Liu Sheng's words happened to hit the point that Luo Qing disagreed, and it was also the key reason why he was concerned about the letter, so he immediately retorted sternly: "Forgetting something is not necessarily because it is not important, since it is Brother Lin's letter, he must be allowed to read it before it can be conclusive." ”

Liu Sheng hesitated about what Luo Qing said, but she quickly said, "But if Xiao Lu really can't remember, what can you do?" ”

Luo Qing looked at Liu Sheng in a daze, and then turned to look at Lu Sheng, he was still the same as just now, Luo Qing couldn't help frowning, and was speechless for a long time.

Looking at these people, you look at me, I look at you, but they can't make up their minds, Qiao Cui thought about it and said, "You should treat that letter as if it was burned along with those books!" Anyway, if it hadn't fallen out of the book that day, everyone wouldn't have known that it was stored in zài! ”

Luo Qing's eyes moved when he heard this, but he quickly shook his head again and said, "If it really burns, it's fine, but Lu Sheng took it outside, and it may have been left behind because of his carelessness." Suppose there is something important in the letter, and therefore leak out, it is really hard to imagine the consequences. ”

After Luo Qing finished saying this, he also glanced sideways at Liu Sheng beside him...... (To be continued......)
