Chapter 117: Life and death are uncertain
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the river water has a tendency to rise, Feng Feihan looked at the turbulent flood in front of him, full of worry, he knew that this was the case, he shouldn't have let Tang Ningnan go with Li Lanshi.
Just as he was regretting it, someone came from the upstream direction, with a lot of children, Duan An hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and Feng Feihan also went to check, but he could fix his eyes, among the dozen or so children and guards, there was no Li Lanshi and Tang Ningnan.
Feng Feihan's heart trembled, and he said sharply to Concubine Hua: "What about Ning'er? Why didn't she come back? ”
Concubine Hua seemed to have lost her soul, shaking her head in her eyes without a look, Feng Feihan frowned and pushed her aside, and asked the guards who came back together, only to know that Tang Ningnan and Li Lanshi were trapped in the cave by the gravel and mud that slid down the mountain, and now their life and death are uncertain.
Feng Feihan suddenly felt a bang in his head.
Life and death are uncertain.
Endless remorse poured in his heart, he knew it earlier, he knew that this was the case, he would not let Tang Ningnan follow Li Lanshi, he would have met human traffickers here, and he would not allow Tang Ningnan to follow him to Meixian County from the beginning.
He rushed into the heavy rain and wanted to run to the direction of the cave and rescue her with his own hands, but was stopped by Huang Qi and Duan An.
"Master, don't be reckless, it's dangerous to go up the mountain now, and you have to wait until the rain stops if you want to go!"
The surrounding victims also echoed the voice, saying that this is going up the mountain, and it is very dangerous.
"I'll wait for the rain to stop, will Ning'er wait?"
Feng Feihan had lost his mind and wanted to open Huang Qi's hand.
"Master, please think twice!" Huang Qi knelt in front of Feng Feihan.
"Now, there is still a disaster that you need to take care of and suppress, if something happens to you, where will the hearts of the victims go?"
Feng Feihan stopped, could it be that he wanted to disappoint Ning Er because he took care of the overall situation?
At this time, a victim who was familiar with the terrain of the mountain came up to report that the cave was deep and long, and even if the exit was blocked, people should be safe inside, and there would be no accident for a while, and said that when the rain stopped, he could lead the way to rescue his wife.
Feng Feihan's heart slowly calmed down, and now, he had to wait slowly, Huang Qi got up from the ground when he saw this, and ordered someone to help Feng Feihan sit down.
The children brought back by Hua Concubine were all lost children in Mei County, and the victims in the wooden houses heard that the children had been rescued, and those who lost their children came out to claim them.
Adults and children haven't seen each other for a long time, and when they meet, they are tears, and for a while, the children's aggrieved cries surround the entire resettlement area, and they also fluctuate Feng Feihan's heart.
Mifei's cry when she was born was very loud, but in less than five months, she was framed and killed by the poisonous woman Hua Concubine, Feng Feihan turned her head, and there were still victims who believed that Hua Concubine came back with their child, kowtowing to her, and her heart was full of anger and anxiety.
"Huang Qi!"
Feng Feihan hurriedly called the name of Mishui Zhizhou, and Huang Qi immediately knelt on the ground again.
"Put this woman in the room." Feng Feihan pointed to the concubine Hua who was bowing to the victims on the side and said.
On the dragon boat, all the communications of Hua Fei Han to the outside world are in Feng Fei Han's control, no matter what news Hua Concubine wants to convey to her father Sima Bin, it is all through Feng Fei Han's eyes, those letters that say how Feng Fei Han treats her badly, and how Tang Ningnan oppresses her are naturally read by Feng Fei Han.
This is also the reason why Feng Feihan dared to ground her on the dragon boat not long ago, and now it is in this kind of poor and remote place, it is not an exaggeration to say that she was swept away by the flood and died. She is the murderer who framed Misphy, and she can't let him be now, and she has to wait for Tang Ningnan to personally say how to deal with her.
Feng Feihan looked disgusted with this look, and there was nowhere to vent the anxiety in his heart, so Concubine Hua naturally became the target of Feng Feihan's discouragement.
"Master, this ......" Huang Qi knelt on the ground, refusing to move.
No matter how unfavored Concubine Hua is, she is also a concubine, he is naturally not afraid of Sima Bin, but a concubine is imprisoned in a local prison, what is this, even if the emperor is angry, it should not be like this.
"What are you doing in a daze, didn't you hear what I said? Or are you also afraid of Sima Bin's power? ”
Feng Feihan looked at Huang Qi viciously, and Huang Qi hurriedly took the order, "Weichen doesn't dare." ”
Then he ordered his subordinates to take Concubine Hua away and put her in the Meixian prison.
When Hua Concubine was taken away, her face was full of horror and she didn't know what she had done wrong, she looked at Feng Feihan, but Feng Feihan only left her a back, didn't give her a look, turned to the puzzled victim and said: "It's not this female ninja who has a heart like a snake and scorpion who rescued your child, the person you should really be grateful for is still in the cave, life and death are uncertain, I took her in because she committed something else, and the villagers don't have to panic." ”
Duan An listened to what Feng Feihan said, and felt that the emperor and the queen were really interesting, and defended each other, and it could be seen that the two of them were stronger than Jin.
When Huang Qi put Concubine Hua in prison, he also saluted her, "Concubine Hua, I'm offended." ”
After coming out, I still felt puzzled, why did the emperor hate Hua Concubine so much, just because Sima Bin couldn't say it, the emperor is not a person who angers others, but in doing so, the emperor must have his reasons.
Sure enough, in a conversation with Li Lanshi's subordinates who came back, he heard that Concubine Hua was the one who framed the eldest princess of Guifei Niangniang, and the doubts in his heart were solved.
I didn't expect a woman who looked like a flower to be so vicious, no wonder the emperor hated her so much.
"Hmph." A cold snort sounded in the dark cave, and I don't know if it was the two sworn enemies of the human traffickers who spoke: "Let you block Lao Tzu's way of wealth, now it's okay, everyone don't go out, die together." ”
Li Lanshi wanted to reason with this person, but Tang Ningnan opened his mouth: "I don't know if I will die, they will naturally find someone to save us when they go back, whether they can save it is my life, I still have a life to gamble, you?" It's been the living dead for a long time. ”
Tang Ningnan said the truth, they went out without being killed, they died together and were rescued, and their crime of selling children was enough to be sentenced to death.
Tang Ningnan was very uneasy to see the situation in the cave, at this time Li Lanshi took out the flint from her arms, groped in the cave and found some dry leaves to ignite, the cave was finally a little bright, but a little leaf could not be burned for long, the boy named Xunbao didn't know where to find a few books, and handed them to Li Lanshi with clothes, saying that these things could be burned.
"Hey, you little bunny, see if I don't kill you." The tall man writhed and wanted to stand up, but was pressed down by Li Lanshi.
It seems that Xunbao is taking this man's things, Li Lanshi casually flipped through those books, the left was just something unsightly, closed the books and threw them into the fire, the man watched Li Lanshi burn the treasures he had collected for so long as firewood, and with a look of regret, he twisted his body to stop it.
"If you're making noise, I'll cut your tongue out." Li Lanshi shook a short dagger in her hand.
The man saw that the dagger reflected a terrifying cold light in the light of the fire, and moved his tongue, feeling that it was still there, and obediently closed his mouth, not daring to speak again.
"Madame, you have suffered with us." Li Lanshi said.
"It's fine." Tang Ningnan shook his head, "I came by myself, it has nothing to do with you, you have already done a good job." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was another muffled sound outside the entrance of the cave, and it was supposed that another stone had fallen.
"Go inside." The bearded man spoke, he didn't want to die here.
He was familiar with the terrain inside the cave, the rocks above the cave entrance were very thin, if they were still at the entrance of the cave, they were likely to be buried alive directly, he didn't want to die here, he got up and wanted to go to the cave, and was held down by Li Lanshi.
"What are you doing?" The bearded man wriggled his body, "If you want to die here, I won't accompany you." ”
Tang Ningnan motioned for Li Lanshi to let go, and followed him into the cave, and sure enough, as soon as everyone left that place, the gravel on it collapsed.
Li Lanshi looked at the place where they had just sat and was buried in the soil, and her heart palpitated.
The bearded man glanced at Li Lanshi, and the meaning in his eyes seemed to be saying that Grandpa Xie saved you soon, Li Lanshi replied without appreciation.
The bearded man was bored with himself, and found a place to squat there without talking.
The eldest child in the cave was eleven years old, and when he saw this scene, he burst into tears. There are so many children, only Xunbao is the only one who didn't cry, he is not the oldest among them, but he is definitely the smartest and calmest.
Li Lanshi was most afraid of noise, and the cries of five or six children reflected back and forth on the cave wall, making him feel that his head was big.
Tang Ningnan, who was still born and raised, would coax the child and soothe the child in a few clicks, and Xunbao was also on the side to help calm the children's emotions.
In order to attract the children's attention and make them less afraid, Tang Ningnan tried to ask the children to sing.
"The black sky is low, the bright stars are with you, the insects are flying, the insects are flying, who are you missing?"
A soft voice sounded in the cave, and the children became quiet, listening to Tang Ningnan sing.
After a few times, children with a good sense of tone can sing along with Tang Ningnan, and the child's immature voice sings nursery rhymes in a minor key, and the ethereal voice echoes in the cave, which makes Li Lanshi feel at ease.
It's all the same sound, and the singing is much better than crying.
Tang Ningnan looked at these children carefully, and distributed the steamed buns brought by Li Lanshi to them, and soon won the trust of these children, who snuggled up to her and regarded her as their backbone.
But gradually, Tang Ningnan's voice became quieter, Li Lanshi felt that something was wrong, and asked Xunbao to check, Xunbao said that Sister Tang was hot.
It's not good, Li Lanshi's heart sank, they were nothing in the wind and rain all day long, but no matter how good Niangniang's health is, she can't compare with them, Niangniang is also very tired these days, and she has been drenched in the rain again, and now she must have a fever.
