Chapter 134: No Man's Ghost Town
Han Ling'er recaptured the dart game run by her father, and her two uncles were also imprisoned for being involved in the "Jinyang Rebellion". On the day she returned to the dart game, she cried loudly until she fainted in Chu Qingruo's arms.
After waking up on the second day, Han Linger made a decision that everyone didn't expect. She sold the dart game and decided to join Cheng Yujiao's Red Phoenix Army, determined to be a female general who will be remembered forever by future generations!
Chu Qingruo was surprised, but also happy that she had walked out of the shadow of the past. Cheng Yujiao even clapped her hands for winning a fierce general.
Soon, she performed well under Chen Yujiao, and gradually established a lot of meritorious service in the army. This time, if Chu Qing was looking for a husband for thousands of miles, Han Ling'er was specially arranged to protect her as the deputy general of Cheng Yujiao's Chifeng Army.
Thinking of this, Han Ling'er couldn't help but bend her eyes, looked back at Chu Qingruo who was fighting with Ah Yan in the carriage with a smile, and then looked up at the cloudless, clear blue sky, and took a deep breath.
Miss, thank you for protecting Ling'er all these years and giving Ling'er a home. Today's weather is so good, it's so good, this time it's finally Ling'er's turn to protect you!
Chu Qingruo in the carriage seemed to feel Han Ling'er's happy mood, and quietly opened the car door to look out. I saw her pretty yellow figure sitting in front of the carriage, waving the horsewhip briskly, and from time to time her hair was blown by the wind and fluttering in the wind, it can be seen that the owner of the back is in a very happy mood, and it must be happy.
That's it...
Chu Qingruo closed the car door and hugged Ah Qian and kissed it hard. It's good that everyone has found their own happiness. And my happiness is you, Wenyuan. No matter where you are, whether you live or die, I must find you! I'm sure I'll find you!
Shengri Xunfang Surabayashore,
The boundless scenery is new.
Waiting for leisure to know the east wind side,
Thousands of purples and thousands of reds are always spring.
The spring sun is like a pair of gentle hands, caressing every smiling face bathed in the sun, like a whispering lover, intoxicating. Han Ling'er, who couldn't hold back her smile, drove the carriage briskly on the boulevard full of flowers.
"Miss, there seems to be a town not far ahead, shall we stop and rest?" Han Ling'er's voice sounded like a lark.
Opening the car door, Chu Qingruo bent down and walked out, sitting side by side with Han Ling'er in front of the wheel. "Ling'er, how many times have I said it, don't call me Miss. In the past, it was to hide your identity, but now that we are sisters, why do you still call me Miss? ”
"People are used to calling it~" Han Ling'er glanced at Chu Qingruo's pursed mouth, and stuck out her tongue with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, Qing-Ruo-sister?" ”
Chu Qingruo burst out laughing: "Forget it, spare you this time, next time you call the wrong one, see how I punish you!" Ah Qian also shook his head and tail behind them and shouted loudly: "Wang! ”
"Oh, you have a little good help, next time I won't dare to call the wrong one!" Han Ling'er pretended to be scared and shook her body, and then the two looked at each other and laughed in unison.
"Let's rest in the town tonight, we've been on the road for a few days in a row, and it's time for the horses to rest." Han Ling'er proposed.
"Well, well, let's rest in that town and we'll be on our way tomorrow!" Chu Qingruo looked at the sunset in the sky and nodded and said.
"Truly...... Goo-goo! ”
Chu Qingruo and his entourage's carriage drove unhurriedly on a dark winding avenue, and in the woods on the side of the road, which looked a little hideous because of the darkness, there were bursts of mournful night owl cries from time to time. Gusts of wind whistled and swirled in the woods by the roadside, and the terrifying and terrible cry of the night owl made people feel cold in their hearts and eyes.
At night, it was Kangzi's turn to drive the carriage, and Chu Qingruo and the others were already asleep in the carriage. A swishing cold wind blew, and Kangzi sat alone on the wheel, looked down at the layer of goosebumps that came out of his arm, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva and looked around, feeling stunned in his eyes.
My dear mother, what the hell is this place? Looking at the map marked, this place should be a town? How can it be so eerie and terrifying, like a mass grave or a ghost town, can it be inhabited?
Gradually, the carriage drove into the empty streets of the town, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves made an echoing tuk tuk on the cold bluestone pavement, which made the scalp tingle.
Kangzi drove around the city in a car, and found that except for a flickering lantern hanging in front of the small inn in front of him, none of them were lit. It seems that the whole town except for this inn has no breath of life, and it is lifeless.
"Little, Miss, we're here...... It's here! Kang Zi shook his hand and patted the car door, and after a while, Han Ling'er opened the car door with sleepy eyes, rubbed his eyes and yawned and walked out.
"Oh my mother, this, where is this?" When Han Ling'er saw the scene in front of her, the rest of her drowsiness was instantly frightened and there was nothing left. Later, Zhou's mother and Chu Qingruo, who walked out of the carriage one after another behind her, also reacted the same as Han Ling'er.
Kangzi tried to squeeze out a calm smile, but it was more ugly than crying, "Miss, the lights are still on in this inn here, you see, we ...... Do you want to stay, or do you ...... Continuing on your way? ”
The frightened Chu Qingruo and Zhou's mother looked at Han Ling'er helplessly with a white face.
Except for being startled when she just got out of the carriage, Han Ling'er was the calmest of the four of them. "Ahem, that's what, if you come here, you will be safe, such a big town, it doesn't look like a desolate place, why don't we live there first, and wait for tomorrow during the day when we see the situation."
Hearing this, Kang Zi trembled and pulled Han Ling'er's sleeve: "A good woman! Heroine! Grandma! You, you still want us to stay? This, this is like a ghost town, where can people live, we, let's continue to hurry! ”
It's not that he Kangzi is timid, everyone who knows him knows that he has been a man who is not afraid of heaven and earth since he was a child, even if you ask him to kill people and set fires, he doesn't even blink an eye.
The only thing that can be feared from childhood to adulthood is these strange things. Alas...... There's no way, who told him to have a mother who is a god stick, and if he doesn't listen to her, he will use these to scare him, so that he will fall into the shadow of his childhood.
Han Ling'er glanced at him disdainfully: "Why do you say that you are so timid, isn't it just an inn, as for being scared like this?"
I heard from the fireheads in the house of the mighty army that they often heard the sound of bathing and the singing of women in the middle of the night! Later, a few brave people came into the room in the middle of the night to check, and guess what they saw? ”
Saying that, Han Ling'er faintly turned a white Sensen's face and leaned in front of Kangzi, and after successfully making Kangzi's face whiter again, she proudly shook the pony whip in her hand and said, "They saw the female dependents who came with the army taking a bath while boiling water in the fire room!" Hahaha! ”
Kangzi's face instantly became colorful, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'm timid, you're bold, then you go to stay!" ”
Han Ling'er pursed her lips disdainfully: "Hmph, I'll go if I go, coward!" Turning his head and comforting Chu Qingruo softly: "Sister Qingruo, you wait here, I'll go in and ask about the situation." ”
Mother Zhou grabbed her with a white face: "Ling'er, it's scary here, you still don't want to go." ”
Han Ling'er patted her hand, gave her a "you are at ease" look, lifted her saber and walked into the inn.
"Little Er!" Han Ling'er strode into the inn and slapped it the tattered counter of the inn: "Is there anyone?" Little two! ”
Han Ling'er shouted for a long time, and a short and fat dun wearing obscene clothes and sleepy eyes walked out of the hut behind the inn counter without a sound like a trace of a ghost. "Hey...... Here it ......."
"Little Er, I want two upper rooms." Han Ling'er took out a dime of silver from her arms and threw it into Xiao Er's arms.
What's the most pleasing thing in the world? It is none other than the silver kueh glittering.
Xiao Er was instantly awakened by the silver light in his arms, and immediately changed his face to a hospitable face, and said to Han Ling'er: "Hey...... Okay, okay, two rooms, right? Come on, girl, here, please. ”
Han Ling'er watched him change his face so quickly, and deeply suspected that if this guy had a tail, he was afraid that it would have been broken at this moment.
Chu Qingruo, Zhou's mother and Kang Zi outside the door, followed Han Ling'er into the inn, perhaps because the bright lights in the inn gave them enough sense of security, Kang Zi and Zhou's mother's faces eased a lot.
The four of them, who had been exhausted after a few days of traveling, found a table that looked the cleanest and sat down, and asked Xiao Er for a few side dishes and rice, and the hungry people ate happily.
Xiao Er stood aside and waited, and saw that although several of them were dressed ordinarily, their words and deeds were not like ordinary people, so he couldn't help but ask out loud: "I see that a few of them are from other places, I don't know if they are here for business, or to look for relatives?" ”
Chu Qingruo's hand holding the chopsticks paused, swallowed the food in his mouth, lowered his eyelids slightly, and said slowly, "We...... It's to look for someone. ”
When Xiao Er heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Come here to find someone?" Here...... No one alive! ”
Kangzi: "!! ”
Han Ling'er raised her head and shouted to the fat dun Xiaoer: "Don't scare people!" Well! Xiao Er, I still asked if you didn't have you, you talked about us first! I ask you! What the hell is this place, why is the whole town so lifeless like a ghost town? ”
