Chapter 140: Hiding in the Cellar
Li Wantong jumped up and down on the rooftops of Dingbian City, and he didn't know where to hide for a while.
However, now that there is no place to hide, it is even more difficult to do so at dawn. At night, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he jumps on the house, and it is not easy to be discovered, but if in the daytime, he jumps back and forth on the roof like this, and is not noticed!
Li Wantong was running, and suddenly found a cellar in the backyard of a family, his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, hiding in the cellar should not be easy to be discovered. So he jumped off the roof, went to the back yard of the house, opened the lid on the cellar mouth, and jumped into the cellar.
This cellar is used by the family to store vegetables in winter. In this era, there was no refrigerator in later generations, and people generally used the cellar to store vegetables in winter, such as Chinese cabbage, radish, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., which can be stored in the cellar, which will not be frozen or rotten easily, and it is no problem to store it for several months.
After Li Wantong jumped into the cellar, he pulled the lid back on the cellar mouth to cover the exit. He felt it would be much safer.
The soldiers of Dingbian City searched for most of the night, but they did not catch Lao Dao. After dawn, Yang County ordered someone to draw a shadow and post it on the eight-character wall outside the county office, offering a reward for arresting an old man with a big burden. As long as there is a clue to it, a reward will be given.
For a while, everyone in the city knew that the government was arresting an old man with a big burden.
As a result, some innocent Taoist priests were unlucky, they did not know who told the government, and the government immediately sent troops to arrest them, but after interrogation, and then compared with the graphics, it was confirmed that it was not them. Scared them into a false alarm.
Li Wantong tossed and turned for most of the night, sleepy and tired, and after hiding in the cellar, he sat in the pile of vegetables and fell asleep.
He slept until noon, when he was awakened by hunger in his belly. At this time he was hungry, thirsty and hungry, but he did not dare to go out to find food. He knew that the government would definitely search for him all over the city now, and he would be easily arrested by the government if he went out.
But now the hunger in my belly is unbearable, and it is really uncomfortable! He looked at the vegetables in the cellar and thought to himself, why don't you eat some vegetables first.
Think of it. He quickly sharpened a turnip with his sword, and then pulled away another cabbage. I ate a mouthful of radish and a mouthful of cabbage. Although it was light and tasteless, it was not as uncomfortable in the stomach as before.
However, not long after eating, about the time of a stick of incense, he suddenly felt gas gurgling in his stomach.
With a "smack", he let out a loud stinky fart, and then still felt the inside of his stomach gurgling down.
After more than a dozen loud farts in a row, he suddenly felt a burst of abdominal pain, not good, to diarrhea!
At this time, of course, he did not dare to go out to find a thatched house.
He looked around in the cellar, came to the corner of the cellar, dug a pit in the corner of the cellar with the sword in his hand, and then took off his pants and squatted down to solve the internal emergency.
When he was done, he endured the stench and buried the pit.
But not long after the pull, Li Wantong felt a burst of abdominal pain again. He knew that he had eaten raw radishes and cabbage and had spoiled his stomach.
You must know that the radish itself has the effect of smoothing qi and helping digestion, and he ate a whole big root, as well as a cabbage sum of Chinese cabbage, so he ate it badly.
There was no way, Li Wantong found another corner of the cellar again, and dug a pit again to solve the internal emergency.
This afternoon, Li Wantong had been busy with the arduous task of "digging a pit -- solving the internal urgency -- burying the pit." He had made the cellar stinking to the ground, but he could only hold it in and smell the stench.
It wasn't until it was dark that Li Wantong felt that his stomach was less painful, and the things in his stomach had long been gone. Although his stomach didn't hurt anymore, his butt was in unusually painful pain from pulling his stomach all afternoon. I didn't even dare to sit down.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, he crawled out of the cellar with hunger and thirst. Now he felt like he was walking on both legs a little fluttery.
Still, he performed his light feats, jumped into the house, and ran again in the direction of the city walls.
When I came to the vicinity of the city wall, I found that there were soldiers patrolling the streets here, and many soldiers had been deployed on the city wall.
Li Wantong thought about it for a while, and decided that for the time being, he still had to get up first, and after two days, the guards relaxed, and then find a chance to get out of the city.
So he went back the way he came, but this time he didn't return to the cellar he had before, and the smell of that cellar was really unbearable for him.
Li Wantong found another cellar and went in, and although he was hungry, he no longer dared to eat raw vegetables. He wanted to go out and steal something to eat, but he was worried about being discovered.
Then endure it, but after enduring it for a while, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he decided to take the risk and go out to find something to eat.
Out of the cellar he turned to the front of the house, and when he listened intently, he heard no movement in the house, and he stretched out his hand and tried to push the door, which was stuck inside. He drew his sword and plunged it through the crack in the door and pulled the latch.
After a while, he pulled the deadbolt open, and he pushed the door and walked into the house, straight into the kitchen. In the kitchen cupboard, he found half of the leftover pancakes. He hurriedly grabbed the pancake in his hand and wanted to stuff it into his mouth.
At this moment, he suddenly heard someone behind him: "You are quite big and not a good person, and you come to steal things in the middle of the night, see if I don't send you to the government!" ”
Li Wantong was startled, and quickly turned around, only to see a woman with rough hands and feet standing behind him, and the woman was still holding a broom in her hand.
Li Wantong was about to speak, but the woman picked up the broom and hit him. Li Wantong didn't dodge in a hurry, and was beaten on the arm by the woman's broom, and almost didn't knock off the pancake he was holding in his hand.
Li Wantong, as the national teacher of the Great Xia Kingdom, how could he have been so embarrassed as he is today? For a bite to eat, he went to thieves to steal something to eat, and was beaten by a woman with a broom.
Li Wantong was annoyed and angry, pulled out his sword and stabbed it directly at the woman, who was just an ordinary person, where did she know any martial arts, she couldn't avoid Li Wantong's sword at all.
The sword pierced through the woman's chest, revealing the tip of the sword from her back. The woman screamed and fell in a pool of blood.
At this time, I heard another voice outside the kitchen door: "You dead mother-in-law, what are you calling in the middle of the night?" Did you see a rat? ”
With the sound of talking, a middle-aged man in pajamas walked into the kitchen. When he saw Li Wantong with a sword and a pancake in his hand, and the woman who had fallen to the ground and died, he was so shocked that he was speechless.
"You——, you——, you ......," the man said, pointing at Li Wantong.
Li Wantong guessed that the man should be the male owner of the house, since he had already killed one, this one could not be kept, and he had to kill people to kill his mouth.
Thinking of this, he took a step forward and stabbed the man in the chest with the same sword, and the man spurted blood from his mouth and fell to the ground.
Li Wantong never thought that as a national teacher of a country, he would one day kill his whole family for half a piece of pancake.
However, in order to solve the hunger in his stomach for now, he can't care about anything else. Hurriedly scooped half a scoop of cold water from the water tank with a water ladle and drank it into his abdomen, and then took half a pancake and walked towards the cellar behind.
Another night passed, and all the people in Dingbian City were rummaged, but they didn't find the old way of backpacking.
Yang County's order, Huang Wenlong, Fei Wen and others have already sent orders to the soldiers to inspect door to door, and they cannot let go of any suspicious places.
This is exactly what it is:
Poisonous schemes harm people's hearts like wolves, stealing chickens is not anti-panic,
Many acts of injustice will eventually be rewarded, and helping others will be rewarded!
