Chapter 44: The Omen of the Future (1)
Andy was still lazy on the bed before the six incense hours, the comfortable blanket spread out around her. She stared blankly at the rough patterns on the ceiling, her eyes wandering with the curves of each pattern, and she felt dizzy.
"How did these pattern craftsmen come to be perfect art?" thought to Andy, as she woke up from her deep slumber and laze not far away, then stood at the window, looking around at the outside world, and let out a long wail.
It was the fourth day, and the voice of the dango was full of desolation and mourning, and it could stand on the table, on the windowsill, on the bow of the chair, in every corner of the room, and wail a few times. The cries are often from small to large, and eventually resemble the sound of a child crying, which sounds creepy. Hu Yu said that the cat was in Sichun, and it wanted to run out to find a partner. Of course, Andy didn't quite understand what Sichun meant, she only felt that the voice of the ball was very pitiful, but she couldn't let it out, she was afraid of losing it again, losing it.
Andy couldn't take it anymore, so he rolled over from the couch and looked out the window looking for the shadow of the ball. She got up and walked into the window, where it was already dark. She saw the sad voice of the group and said, "Are you missing your little friend? Don't you think the outside world is calling you, but unfortunately we are connected by the same fate and will never be able to get out." She showed a suspicious mouth, "Who knows what you're thinking, can you tell me the reason for your wailing, how can I help you, I can't let you out." She muttered to herself.
In short, for days, Andy often dreamed that she was looking for Dango, she dreamed that there were all kinds of cats in the forest, but rarely dreamed of Dango, she dreamed that she was talking to a cat, and the cat seemed to understand her words. She often tentatively crouches in front of the cat and says, "Have you seen my dango?" Can you tell me where it went?", Or, when she sees a cat climbing up a tree, she tilts her head and talks to it, "You've seen dango, right? Tell me where she went." The cat seemed to be bored by the question, and with a "wow" leaped down from the tree, scratched her face, ran into the grass and disappeared, and when she was frightened to wake up, the ball happened to be in front of her eyes every time.
She sat down in a chair in front of the window and took the ball into her arms, and its voice gradually became quieter. Andy watched as the torches in the distance gradually lit up, lighting up every room, the square, the watchtower, and the castle gate, illuminating every part of the royal court.
He saw the patrol team in the courtyard walking by one after another, neatly like walking in a phalanx, and she suddenly found that there were more people patrolling the courtyard than at any time, and the number of times was quite frequent. "What the hell is going on?" she stood up from her chair and looked closely at the people in the courtyard below, except for the patrolmen, who couldn't tell what was wrong.
Hu Yu hasn't seen anyone for a whole day, almost a month, he is almost like this, and he doesn't know where he went every day. For this, Andy questioned Hu Yu several times, but he didn't answer anything except bowing his head. Andy started a fire, he bowed down and kept saying sorry, and said that no matter what he went out to do, it was for Andy's good and would never harm her, and finally Andy had no choice but to break up unhappily.
She put the ball on the ground, got up and opened the door, she gasped, there were four guards standing guard at the door, one of them was surprisingly tall, and Andy was two tall. Looking at Andy with a fierce expression, she tried to cool her expression down, squinted at the tall guard, retreated into the room, and closed the door.
"What the hell is going on?" At this time, it was already late at night, Andy was so anxious that he stomped his feet back and forth in the room, the situation at the door did not allow her to think too much, she approached the window and looked at the courtyard of the castle, which was still lit with torches, and there was nothing special except for the patrol.
The door "clang" was opened, and Andy turned around, it was Hu Yu.
"What do you see?" said Andy as he approached Hu Yu and asked nervously.
"The people who spy on us. Hu Yu replied, gasping for breath so quickly that Andy could feel it, "There are about fifteen or sixteen people." He continued.
"Aren't there only four?"
"There's still one outside the door!"
"What's going on?" Andy asked anxiously. "What should we do?"
"Something must be going to happen at the castle tonight. Hu Yu's breathing became even more rapid, "I also saw the guards on the watchtower have their necks wiped with their necks, and they are wearing the same military uniforms as those in the city. ”
"Do you have any contact with the people you met with the royal court?"
"Maybe. ”
"I want to say to you. Andy's expression showed an uncertain certainty, "More than a month ago, I saw a figure that looked very good at my brother, and Lord Musina specially told me not to run around, is it ......?" she racked her brains, but finally did not clear her thoughts.
"Do you remember when we first arrived, we were imprisoned by Niutel?" asked Hu Yu.
"Of course I remember. ”
"Lord Musna said that the prince of Fengwei City is still alive, judging by your father's expression, his relationship with the king of Fengwei City fifteen years ago is definitely not ordinary, I am not sure if there is a connection between these things, but I believe that something must happen in the castle tonight, and we can't sit still here. Hu Yu said and looked out the window. He opened the window and looked at the balcony, his eyes fixed on the patrols in the castle courtyard, "So...... No one can guarantee that these patrols are Newtel's men. With that, he let out a long sigh, and he saw that the steps on the balcony led to somewhere ahead, and that direction seemed to be Alpha's bedroom balcony. "Have you been to Alpha's room?"
"Been there. Andy nodded.
"And you recognize Alpha's window?"
"Yes. ”
"Good. Hu Yu praised, "Alpha has followed the army out of the city in the past two days, and he will come back in two days, and his room is empty." As he spoke, he closed the window and glanced at the dango, who was using his mouth to add its front feet, hair, and tail, "We can't take the dango with us." ”
"Shall we go?" said Andy, exclaiming, "There are so many troops in the castle, where are we going? Even if we have wings, we may not be able to fly out!
"I have a way. Hu Yu said seriously, "But you have to agree to release the dumplings." ”
"Nope. Andy stubbornly said, "If I really want to go, I'm going to take it with me." ”
"My eldest lady, we are going to run for our lives, not to play, how can we escape with you and a cat?"
"I don't care anyway. Andy turned his head and picked up the ball on the ground, lazy in his arms, "Either take it away, or I won't leave, anyway, my father won't watch me die here." ”
Hu Yu shook his head speechlessly, "You're sure you want to take it with you." ”
Andy nodded, "Sure and sure." ”
Hu Yu really didn't have a point, nodded and agreed, "Okay." So, he rummaged through the room, and finally saw a small box in the bottom compartment of the closet, he went out of the box and handed it to Andy, "The ball can only be in this, otherwise we can't take it out." ”
Andy gestured, "If you put the body of the ball in it tiredly, then it is just enough for it to lie inside, but the box is so tight, will it be covered to death?"
"Hmm. Hu Yu nodded and thought about it, he looked for several drawers to find a nail, so he lit a candle, burned the nail on the candle, and when the nail was red, he punched a few holes in the wooden box.
"Yes, you have a lot of options!" Andy boasted, "You have a good brain, but this body is so redundant, in this era of famine that no one can eat, how can you eat yourself like this?"
"Don't please me, miss, for a fat man, hearing these words from you is like a knife cut. Hu Yu said, "I don't want to lose weight, but I really don't eat much in a day, there is an old saying, this person wants to be fat, drink cold water will be fat." He said and took out two more sets of clothes from the closet, "Put it on and dress yourself up like a boy." ”
Andy looked at Hu Yu with that peculiar lack of interest, "Did you plan to run away a long time ago?"
"My plan was that we would get out of the door without a hitch, and then pretend to play in the castle, make trouble, or even catch cats, and we could run away when no one was looking. Hu Yu said excitedly, "But now there are guards outside the door, and there will definitely be people blocking you from going out of the door in this way." ”
Andy put the dumplings on the ground, took the clothes from Hu Yu's hand, entered the couch, closed the curtain and began to change clothes, "Then you haven't been in the room recently, are you looking for an escape route?"
"This is a secret for now, and you'll find out later. Hu Yu smiled mysteriously, he was already dressed.
"By the way, we just ran away, what if my father came looking for me? The last time I saw it must have been my brother, and they must be trying to get me out. ”
"Things on the battlefield are not to be taken lightly. Hu Yu said, "No one knows who will win, we can leave a note, if your father comes, you will know at a glance." "Just finished," smack. An object was smashed on Hu Yu's head, and he looked back to see that it was the pillow that Andy had thrown over, and Andy was standing two steps away from him with an angry mouth, "Miss, what's wrong?" he asked with a fake smile.
"If my father had come, he would have won. Andy yelled.
Hu Yu lowered his eyebrows, "Yes, Miss, your father will definitely win." He said as he picked up the dough that had jumped on the chair, put it into the box, closed the lid, and pulled Andy up, "Let's go." He pulled Andy to the window and motioned for her to go up first. Andy seemed a little scared, he propped her up on the balcony and put her back against the wall, he also climbed onto the balcony, Andy shivered with fright, "Close your eyes." He commanded, "Take my hand, lean your back against the wall, raise your left foot first, slowly move your foot to the left, then move your right foot to the left." When he saw Andy do so, he complimented, "Good, go on, yes, that's all." ”
