Chapter 127: Safe Route
In the morning fog of dawn, Qian Yuan walked out of the alley and stood there looking at the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar street.
In that month or so, Qian Yuan traveled to every corner and street of the city, but after leaving for a few months, Chongde County had three more roads with different directions and many new houses that had just been built, which made him feel a little unfamiliar.
Only the traces of the knife and axe left at the head of the city, and the hemp rope hanging from the city gate are vaguely familiar.
Looking back at the mansion, Qian Yuan's eyes were indifferent, whether it was himself or this woman, they were just chess pieces, but since they were involved, they always hoped that they could be more important.
Qian Yuan believes that Wang Cuiqiao thinks the same way...... Therefore, he was not worried that she would give everything to Xu Haihe.
Last year, after a glimpse in that alley, Xu Hai escaped by chance, and although Qian Yuan was disappointed, he was lucky to find some clues.
After nine months and three investigations, I finally gained something.
Wang Cuiqiao is not self-clean, but this is also helpless, leaving the Qinhuai River, even if he finds his parents, can he still be reunited?
Her best fate in the future is only to be taken as a concubine or raised by a certain literati Yashina, she may not be willing to follow the unidentified Xu Hai, but these are not transferred by her own will, the most direct reason is that two days ago, Shen Jiao was slaughtered.
Of course, although she has been abducted since she was a child, although she has fallen into the dust, Wang Cuiqiao has a concern, she is concerned about her parents and brothers at home, and she is concerned about the most promising Danyang child in the family.
Taking the hat and putting it on his head, Qian Yuan walked out of the city gate, although I don't know if this nail can have the same effect as in history, but many times, whether there is a backhand or not will determine the ending.
Leaving Chongde County, to the Cixi Wharf more than ten miles away in the northeast, taking a boat down the river such as Xuedian Lake, and soon returning to Taozhai Town, Qian Yuan silently calculated the gains and losses of this trip to Hangzhou in his heart, but saw several carriages in front of him rushing forward, and the wheels were obliquely stuck in the stone cracks on the side of the road, and they fell to the ground with a bang.
In essence, Qian Yuan is not a good person, and he has done more than one or two times to blackmail other people's dependents and children, so naturally he will not lend a hand.
But this time Qian Yuan stopped and motioned for Yang Wen to help.
A quarter of an hour later, Qian Yuan squatted on the side of the road in distress, why did he leave Zhang San in Songjiang this time and didn't bring him out, but there was an accident on the road again...... Is the problem with yourself?
Probably when Qian Yuan arrived in Chongde County yesterday, a large number of Japanese robbers landed from Songjiang Jinshanwei.
Jinshanwei had been reduced to a scorched earth a few months earlier, and Yu Dayou led his army to garrison Chuansha, roughly maintaining a parallel blockade posture with Huating and Shanghai counties.
This time, Yu Dayou commanded the guest army transferred from Huguang, and after a battle, the two sides reached a draw.
However, the Japanese did not rush to break through Chuansha, but divided their troops to the west, attacked Pinghu County along the coastline, threatened Jiashan, and cut off the Cixi shipping.
In other words, Qian Yuan's way home was cut off.
Although the southeast coast has been on fire everywhere in recent years, you can't bump into the Japanese every time Lao Tzu goes out...... Qian Yuan shook his hand, I can't afford to provoke you now, Lao Tzu can always afford to hide!
Yang Wen looked at the simple map that Qian Yuan drew on the ground with a stone, "Go to Tongxiang?" ”
"Lu Bo has just been transferred to Tongxiang...... Then take a boat from the canal to Suzhou? Qian Yuan hesitated, "The road is a bit long, and if the Japanese go north, we may not be able to escape." ”
"Then go to Wujiang by land." Yang Wen picked up the stone and drew a line, "The waterway between this area and Jiashan County is criss-crossed, and a large number of Japanese robbers are estimated to not be able to go." ”
Qian Yuan nodded, this is a good idea, there are many waterways that mean it is convenient to escape, and it is difficult to find people for the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and there is also this reason why Xu Hai did not go north to attack Wujiang after breaking through Jiashan County a few months ago.
Entering the Wujiang River to Suzhou Wharf, and then going straight down the Wusong River to Songjiang to Taozhai Town, this route is relatively safe and saves time.
However, Qian Yuan was still a little hesitant, and after thinking for a while, he found a small flat stone and muttered to himself in a low voice, "There is moss on this side...... It's clean over here. ”
The guards around him looked dazed.
The next moment, Qian Yuan threw the stone into the sky, looked down carefully, Huo Ran got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to Wujiang." ”
It's really safe.
Starting from the west gate of Chongde County, the group walked through the mountains and mountains to the north, along the waterway to the north, not to mention the Japanese Kou, even the figure is rare.
……
It's already September, which is probably mid-to-late October in the future, and it's neither hot nor cold, it's too hot to wear winter clothes, and it's too cold to wear single clothes.
Qian Yuan turned his head and rubbed the beads of sweat on his forehead on Yang Wen's clothes, "It's too hot!" ”
Yang Wen stared at the fire not far away with an expressionless face, "Young Master, you are talking nonsense." ”
"What kind of attitude do you have!" Qian Yuan was dissatisfied: "Could it be that I chose the wrong path, I really didn't meet the Japanese Kou!" ”
"I didn't meet the Japanese Kou." Yang Wen raised his bound hands, "But I ran into a bandit!" ”
"No, they're not bandits!" Qian Yuan turned his head to look at the group of men in blue cloth clothes on the other side of the fire, "It should be the wolf soldiers over there in Guangxi, don't worry, it's just a misunderstanding." ”
Yang Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that his life was worry-free.
The group had just entered the territory of Wujiang County a quarter of an hour ago, and was about to ask a local for directions, when they ran into these hundreds of people, all armed with swords.
There are hundreds of people, but there are only about 20 people here...... Qian Yuan wisely put down his weapon and raised his hand to surrender, and then was tied up to death.
"Young master, just explain something in the future, you don't need to go out in person." Yang Wen sighed.
"Good, good...... Master, my life is not good. Qian Yuan suddenly shuddered, "You say...... In this weather, and it hasn't rained, what are they doing with such a big fire? ”
"And took out a knife......
"And drooling!"
Seeing that he was struggling here, the two men walked over with a gloomy face, their eyes fell on Qian Yuan, and they waved the dagger in their hands from time to time.
"If it's a lamb, the leg meat is the best, but I don't know where the human meat is the most fragrant......"
"Try it, bake it piece by piece."
"Hundreds of brothers, it's just not enough to divide ......"
Although it is Chinese, some of the words are vague and the pronunciation is a little strange, but I can generally understand it.
The voice was not loud or small, Qian Yuan and the others could hear it clearly, and some of the guards had already tried to support themselves and tried to fight to the death.
Qian Yuan didn't believe that the other party really ate human flesh, you must know that this is not the remote Guangxi and Sichuan border areas, but Suzhou Mansion.
"Human flesh is not delicious." Qian Yuan squeezed out an enthusiastic smile on his face, "It's too sour." ”
The two men slowed down.
"Really." Qian Yuan said seriously: "It's very sour, and there is no way to enter it at all." ”
Glancing at the two daggers, Qian Yuan smiled: "And I'm pretty sure you won't eat human flesh, and you won't kill people." ”
The stout man took two steps forward in annoyance, the dagger in his hand ready to stab.
"You are not Han Chinese, if you really want to kill people, why do you speak Chinese?"
