———— the following text————
The next day, Zhao Yu and Jingnu waited quietly for a day on the halfway of Yingshan Mountain on the northeast side of Luyang.
They didn't dare to leave this mountain forest, because Zhao Yu guessed that his territory in Luyang must be full of Liangcheng soldiers searching for them at this moment, so he decided to hide in the mountains for a few days, and wait for Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng, and Cao An by the way to see if the three of them ...... Whether they are still alive to join them.
As we approach the end of October, it can be quite cold even during the day, let alone at night.
In order to avoid being frozen to death by the cold wind at night, Zhao Yu thought that he had to be prepared in the short daylight, so he took Jingnu to find a naturally inclined tree, picked up dead branches and fallen leaves from nearby, and built a simple shack based on this fallen tree.
Then, the two began to try to make a fire.
The fire fold is a good thing, the ancients who invented this thing put the bamboo silk wrapped with cotton wool into a bamboo tube, covered with a bamboo cover, and borrowed the charcoal fire of the bamboo silk to preserve Mars, which can generally be kept for several days, and it is also very convenient to use, just open the lid and blow gently, and the sparks hidden in the bamboo silk will gradually ignite the bamboo silk and cotton wool again.
When you don't need it, just cover it with a bamboo lid.
But it's a pity that Zhao Yu and Jingnu didn't carry such convenient tools with them, nor did they have flints, so Zhao Yu could only use the most stupid and primitive method to drill wood to make fire.
From the afternoon until dusk, Zhao Yu and Jingnu took turns to drill a stripped trunk with a branch, so that their hands were worn out, blood was faintly oozing, and there was no damn flame in sight, only a trace of white smoke.
Feeling the unbearable soreness of his arms, Zhao Yu wanted to give up for a while.
But in the blink of an eye, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Yes, he has no home anymore, his loving father and mother, faithful guards and domestic servants, everything has been lost, and there is only Jingnu by his side - that weak little girl is still gritting her teeth and holding on, how can he give up easily?
Enduring the soreness of their arms, Zhao Yu and Jingnu persevered for another hour, and finally, the two finally saw the damn flame.
"Young master, young master ......"
At that moment, Jingnu cried excitedly, and hurriedly prepared to put dead branches into the flames.
"Don't worry, you have to be more calm at this time."
Zhao Yu hurriedly called out to Jingnu, carefully put a few branches on the flames, and then leaned down and gently blew the flames, which was useless if it was light, and he was afraid that it would blow out the flames that had finally appeared, so he was extremely concerned, and a layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.
It wasn't until the flames licked the burning branches that Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and fell into the shack, looking at the hands that had worn out the skin and blood were trembling inexplicably.
At that moment, he faintly felt that something had changed in him.
However, something should really change, because he no longer has anything to rely on......
After dusk, the sky quickly darkened, and none of the three of them, Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng, and Cao An, came to join them.
The more she waited, the more disappointed she became, Jingnu sat in Zhao Yu's arms, and unconsciously, she fell asleep leaning on Zhao Yu's chest.
She seemed to feel the cold, shrunk her body and unconsciously drilled into Zhao Yu's arms, as if she wanted to shrink her whole body into Zhao Yu's arms.
Zhao Yu glanced at the small handful of fire.
It was really just a small fire, probably only the size of his or Jingnu's two palms, because he didn't dare to make a bonfire too big, for fear that the light of the fire would become particularly eye-catching at night, attracting those soldiers of the Liang Cheng army—he felt that the other party must still be in his Luyang territory, searching everywhere.
After thinking about it, Zhao Yu hugged Jingnu tightly, and at the same time untied her coat and wrapped Jingnu in it.
Although the coat is not thick, it can still block some cold wind.
It seemed that the quiet girl in her sleep also felt the warmth, frowning because of the cold, gradually relaxing, her cheek pressed against Zhao Yu's chest, and she made a small snoring sound.
She's so tired.
In fact, he didn't sleep much last night, and today he was busy all day, and Zhao Yu was also exhausted, but he couldn't sleep.
Because of the mutation at home last night, it still impacts him.
He couldn't forget the mother who stood at the back door to see him leave and silently prayed for him when he was carried away by Zhang Ji.
Last night, there were really too many people in his hometown's mansion......
The tsundere father who seems to be very mature, but will be jealous of his son in front of his wife, is dead.
Born in a wealthy family, the mother who looks like a lady on weekdays, but always likes to tease her husband in private, died.
There is also Cao Ju, the chief steward who is in charge of many affairs in the house......
In addition to watching the door, Zhang Ying, who doesn't care about anything, always likes to be lazy......
Aunt Zheng, who used to wash his clothes for Jingnu......
The chef who cooks good dishes on the ground......
Many, many more.
And also...... Wei Chang Zhang Chun.
In order to cut off the rest of the people, that Zhang Weichang also died.
The last scene Zhao Yu saw was that Zhang Weichang roared angrily and rushed towards a group of Liangcheng army soldiers, with that bravery, that fierceness, that Zhang Weichang showed no less bravery among the enemies than when he fought with the rebels in Fancheng back then, even those Liangcheng army soldiers were shocked, but the enemy was outnumbered, and that Zhang Weichang finally fell into a heavy encirclement.
There are also Niu Ji and Shi Jue......
The guards in the Xianghou Mansion, Zhao Yu is not all familiar, some can call names, some cannot, but it is undeniable that these are loyal and courageous guards, in order to cover the escape of the two brothers, one by one they are willing to stay behind to attract pursuers.
『Ma Cheng ......』
Zhao Yu closed his eyes.
"Ma Cheng, what are you doing? Those pursuers are catching up! ”
"Yes, that's why someone has to stay behind...... I was wounded by an arrow, I really can't escape, I'm sorry, second son, I can only escort you here, I hope you escape, he is a townsman, a lady, and everyone who died in my township mansion tonight, revenge this sea of blood!! …… Like this, even if you die, you can be blinded! …… Zhang Ji, go! ”
"You...... Take care, Ma Cheng. …… Cao An, go. ”
Zhao Yu's last memory of Ma Cheng is that Zhang Ji still left Ma Cheng alone.
"Boom......"
The Jing girl in her arms changed her sleeping position with some discomfort, leaning her head on Zhao Yu's shoulder.
may have felt cold, but she also grabbed Zhao Yu's coat herself.
"I wonder if Jingnu will be angry when she wakes up......
Seeing Jing Nu grasping the coat without knowing anything, Zhao Yu thought bitterly.
Because the clothes on his body are not his, but Cao An's.
Yes, it's Cao An's......
Soon after Ma Chengliu broke off, the pursuers caught up again.
It is not difficult to guess from the shouts of those Liangcheng soldiers that they are here to arrest Zhao Yu - for some reason, it is not enough for these Liangcheng soldiers to kill the Luyang Township Marquis and his wife Zhou, but also to kill the two brothers Zhao Yin and Zhao Yu, and even the upper and lower mansions of the Luyang Township Marquis.
At the moment of crisis, Cao An ignored Zhao Yu's obstruction, pulled off Zhao Yu's coat, and led away those Liangcheng soldiers instead of Zhao Yu.
"Cao An, what are you doing?!"
"These people want to catch the young master, but if they can't catch the young master, they won't give up, in that case, I'll lure them away!"
"You ......"
"Young master, I swore to my uncle that I would be loyal to the Zhao family for generations, and today is the day when I will be loyal to Cao An! …… Hehe, in fact, there may not be any danger, young master, I am clever, and I can run fast......"
"Cao An ......"
accompanied by Zhang Ji......
"I've changed my opinion of you, Cao An. …… Since he is the 'second son' of the Xianghou Mansion, doesn't he feel shabby to escape alone? ”
"Zhang Ji, even you ......"
"Although I have always hated this kid, but this time, Cao An is right, those Liangcheng soldiers must have received orders to hunt down and kill the two sons, and if they don't catch the eldest son and the second son, they will never give up. …… I'm sorry, Second Son, but I think that at this moment, Cao An and I will lead away the pursuers, and it will be easier for you and Jingnu to escape. ”
"Zhang Ji ......"
"If Cao An and I are lucky enough to escape, within two days, we will wait for the convergence of Yingshan on the northeast side. Let's go, second son...... No, young master! ”
……
"Smack!"
The small bonfire in front of him suddenly exploded, and Zhao Yu was interrupted from his thoughts.
"I'm going to come to the rendezvous, Cao An, Zhang Ji, and ...... Ma Cheng.'
Unconsciously hugged the quiet girl in his arms, Zhao Yu thought secretly.
Then, unconsciously, Zhao Yu gradually fell asleep.
When he woke up and opened his eyes again, there was no one around.
"The Silent Girl......"
He jerked to his feet and looked around.
"Is it ......?"
He was inexplicably flustered, and his body became anxious.
"Jing Nu? Silent Girl? ”
At this moment, Zhao Yu didn't care whether his voice would cause trouble, so he subconsciously shouted.
"Young master?"
And at this moment, Jing Nu walked briskly from a distance with a handful of mountain fruits in her hand.
Zhao Yu was relieved, and when Jingnu approached, he pretended to joke and said, "Where have you been?" I thought you ran away on your own......"
"Why does the young master feel that way?"
Jingnu tilted her head to look at Zhao Yu, as if she noticed the panic on the latter's face, she ignored her own difficulty and picked up the mountain fruit, hugged Zhao Yu, and said softly: "The slave promised Mrs. that she would take good care of the young master's ......."
“……”
Zhao Yu didn't say a word, just hugged Jingnu tightly.
Another day passed, and the two-day deadline arrived, and Cao An, Zhang Ji, and Ma Cheng, none of them came here to meet.
Zhao Yu, who did not give up, waited for another day, but the three people still did not come.
Still in that shack, still in front of the bonfire, Zhao Yu hugged Jingnu and sighed bitterly: "It seems that Cao An, Zhang Ji, and Ma Cheng can't be ......."
Jing Nu hugged Zhao Yu tightly, and said softly: "The young master still has Jing Nu, Jing Nu will follow the young master's ...... for the rest of her life."
"Yes, I still have you."
Rubbing Jingnu's hair, Zhao Yu nodded, and then whispered: "I have decided, rest well tonight, and ...... tomorrow Let's go down the mountain! ”
"Down the mountain? Where to? ”
"Where to go...... Go for revenge! ”
Zhao Yu was also a little confused about where to go next, but there was only one thing he was not confused about, and that was revenge.
He has a deep blood feud with more than 200 people in the Luyang Zhao family, and someone must take responsibility for this!
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!
