Chapter 158: The Night Is Stormy

When night fell, Bai Xiangu (Jing Niang's entourage) brought hot water in, and Guo Shao sat on a stool to burn his feet. The white fairy girl is not as white as Jingniang, there are freckles on her cheeks, and she is a little older, estimated to be more than thirty years old.

Jing Niang opened the bamboo curtain on the back wall, took a stool, stood on the stool and reached out to try the wooden strip nailed on it, and then closed the bamboo curtain. She got down from the wooden stool, walked around the room, looked down at the bed, and then at the roof.

Guo Shao saw her doing trivial things silently, listening to the wind outside, and suddenly said, "Jingniang, thank you." Jing Niang glanced at him coldly, her expression gave the illusion of arrogance, and she didn't respond.

After a while, she said: "I will sleep here with Bai Xiangu tonight, this upstairs is not attached to the ground, there is no moisture, just take a blanket and a quilt." When you are away from home, it is not a good thing to live alone, and one more person has one more helper. You won't have an affair with that Li lady tonight? Isn't it in your way? ”

Guo Shao was stunned: "How is it possible? ”

Jing Niang said: "I don't think it's possible, then Li Niangzi can't live alone." If you want to have an affair with her in the middle of the night, it will be easy to alarm her family, and if you are discovered, I will see how you explain to Li Chuyun. ”

Guo Shao shook his head and said, "I never wanted to do that. ”

After the three of them washed, Jing Niang and Bai Xiangu really made a bunk on the ground, slept together, and didn't take off their clothes. Guo Shao was helpless and also lay on the bed.

The lights weren't extinguished, and the light line was still so weak after lighting two oil lights. In the days when there was no electricity, the nights were really dark; If you weren't in the city, the suburbs and countryside of this era were only a few tenths of the population density of modern society, and it was really deserted at night.

The sound of the wind and the unfamiliar environment made Guo Shao a little insomnia again, he felt that his sleep quality was really not good, as long as he was not very tired, it was easy to stay awake. He tossed and turned like this, and stayed up for a long night.

I don't know how many days it was, and suddenly I heard a soft "click" from the back window. The voice was very soft, Guo Shao thought that some animal saw the light in the house and bumped into it, so he didn't pay much attention. Unexpectedly, there was another sound, and the sound of "click" was not natural at all.

He immediately raised his alarm. When I turned my head to look, I saw Jing Niang and Bai Xiangu also sit up gently, Jing Niang's eyes moved to Guo Shao, stretched out her finger to the window, and put her finger to her lips to make a movement.

Guo Shao's expression froze, looking at her eyes and nodding slightly.

Jing Niang lightly picked up a short sword and handed it to Bai Xiangu, and picked up a long one herself. This girl is really vigilant, and she actually puts her weapon next to her pillow...... Guo Shao didn't have any precautions today, although he was in a bad mood in the afternoon, he didn't expect that he was a military general with soldiers, and there would be any danger when he came out to play.

Guo Shao got up and saw his bow and arrows, knives, and baggage on the chair next to him. He walked lightly to the chair in his middle coat, tied it directly with his belt, hung the barrier knife on his belt first, and then held the bow and arrow in his hand. He lifted his spirits, and his mind flashed back to the scene of Jing Niang opening the bamboo curtain before going to bed: the window was high and narrow. Most of the rear windows of this era are like that, just a small opening for ventilation.

It is impossible for a man to climb in through that window.

Guo Shao looked up at the roof and didn't hear any sound. He pondered for a moment, then looked back at the door and the window by it. Stretching out his hand and beckoning, Jing Niang also turned her head to watch his movements...... He pointed at Jing Niang and Bai Xiangu, and then pointed to the back of the door.

Jing Niang nodded and slowly walked over to this side. There was hardly any sound in the room, and the three of them silently prepared.

Guo Shao easily picked up a table outside, then turned it over and took the table to face the door, while the person half-knelt behind the table, pulled out an arrow from the quiver, and waited silently.

The window behind him rang for a while, and he didn't know what was going on, Guo Shao glanced back from time to time. At this moment, there was a sudden sound again, and there was a "bang...... A smoking wooden barrel fell from the window behind the bamboo curtain!

"Not good!" Guo Shao hurriedly picked up the table and ran to Jing Niang.

"Boom!" There was a bang, only to see the firelight rising into the sky, rushing straight to the roof, and in an instant, the tiles and wood fell down, the ping-pong made a chaotic sound, and the white smoke spread rapidly, and soon shrouded Guo Shao and others in thick smoke.

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" There was a coughing sound in the smoke of gunpowder. Guo Shao held his breath and hurriedly asked, "Are you all right?" ”

Jing Niang's voice said: "I'll open the door, don't go out yet, beware of ambush!" ”

"Good...... Cough! Guo Shao responded.

But Jing Niang and Bai Xiangu coughed for a while and couldn't open the door, "It seems to be locked from the outside!" Jing Niang shouted. The room was filled with gunsmoke, and he couldn't see his five fingers, Guo Shao walked over and touched the wooden plank, which was thicker, and the door was open to the inside: if you hit it hard outside, the door panel would be blocked by the door frame and it would be difficult to knock it open.

Guo Shao didn't go to bang on the door, shouted "Be careful of the window", threw away the bow and arrow, hurriedly waved the table and smashed it with a "bang", smashing it several times in a row, smashing the wood on the window and the window paper to pieces. Smoke immediately poured out, and the shouting of people could be heard outside. Guo Shao paused for a moment, threw the table out, and immediately heard a "crackling" sound, and there was a "pop" in his heart, and there was a bow and crossbow outside.

The fire spread in the house, and the bed and roof were already burning in the white smoke of the thick fog, and the smoke and smoke made it very difficult to breathe. It's strange to smoke it a little longer and not choke to death.

Guo Shao touched a wooden shelf next to the door, on which were a few towels and a washbasin. He wet the towel, called Jing Niang, handed them two wet towels, and covered his mouth and nose with one of them. Then he lifted the wooden frame up and threw it out, and there was another "snap" or two of the crossbow nailed into the wood. He threw the stool out as well.

At this moment, a loud "boom" was suddenly heard, and the door panel was directly knocked open from the outside, and Luo Mengzi's voice said: "Big brother!" Eldest brother! ”

Guo Shao was overjoyed and shouted: "Second brother, beware of the bow and crossbow outside!" He couldn't hold it anymore, so he took the lead in running out of the door, and then Jing Niang and Bai Xiangu also ran out.

The soldiers immediately surrounded Guo Shao against the wall, and Guo Shao said: "There is a table by the window, use it as a wooden shield!" Luo Mengzi listened and found the wooden table with his broken leg from the ground and lifted it.

When I turned around, I saw that the fire was rising to the sky and the roof was filled with smoke, and the fire became even stronger when the wind blew. The smoke was quickly blown away by the wind, Guo Shao looked around, and saw that in the crowd of people who were rushing out of the door on the opposite side, several people with crossbows were shooting at this side, but the wind was a little urgent, and the accuracy of the crossbow arrows themselves was not high, and the crossbow shot inaccurately, and several crossbow arrows flew one after another, all of which missed. The men fired a crossbow bolt and ran away when they saw that they didn't hit it.

A personal soldier on Guo Shao's side pulled his bow and released arrows, but unexpectedly, there was a scream on the opposite side, and it hit a passerby who was running in a panic.

"Second brother, you take two people to the stable, don't chase after you when it's dark! Lu Chengyong, you and two people go downstairs to the door to intercept! Try to keep it alive and catch it alive! Seeing this, Guo Shao ordered, and said, "Give me a bow!" ”

At this moment, he suddenly saw a bow aimed at him at a doorway. Jing Niang was standing in front of Guo Shao, he didn't think about anything for a while, it was too late, and he subconsciously pushed Jing Niang. The sound of "pop" strings sounded, Guo Shao only felt a sinking under the left collarbone, and he didn't feel anything at first, and soon the sharp pain came. He didn't wear any armor on his body, he didn't even wear a white middle coat, and the arrow pierced directly into the flesh, and the blood immediately dyed the white clothes red, and the color was very conspicuous.

Everyone was in a hurry, and Jing Niang's face turned white all of a sudden.

Guo Shao lifted the soldiers who ran to the front, stared at the person who was running away from his bow and arrows, and drew his bow and arrows. Windy ...... Guo Shao's eyes widened, endured the pain, and calmed down, "Smack!" Sure enough, the guy knelt down and shot him in the thigh.

"Go over and arrest people, don't kill!" Guo Shao shouted.

But I saw a man downstairs running towards the door. Guo Shao shot another arrow and knocked it to the ground. After he exerted too much force, his left arm hurt so much that he lost his bow, and said, "Jing Niang, go and see what happened to Li Niangzi!" ”

"White Fairy Gu, go quickly." Jing Niang said, then tore open Guo Shao's clothes, picked it up and took a look, and said in a strange voice, "The arrow is poisonous." ”

"!" When Guo Shao looked down, he saw that the skin near the wound was a little blue.

Jing Niang looked up at the direction of the fire, pulled Guo Shao to the east, and saw a door open, and a man and a woman came out in disheveled clothes. Without saying a word, she dragged Guo Shao inside.

"What...... What does it mean! The man shouted.

With a "bell", the sword flew out of the scabbard in half, and slashed at the man's neck, instantly cutting through the skin, and a wisp of blood flowed down. The man went limped in fright and fell to his knees. Jing Niang shouted: "One more wordy word, I want you to be on the head!" ”

Jing Niang pulled Guo Shao into the room and found a place to sit down. Her movements were fast and steady, and her face was cold. She first took a lamp and put it on the table, then took out a short dagger from her arms and put it on the table, looked at Guo Shao's eyes and said, "I'll pull out the arrow first, you bear with it......"

Before Jing Niang's words fell, Guo Shao was about to answer, but suddenly his shoulder hurt, and he shouted carelessly: "I'm!" Cold sweat broke out on Guo Shao's forehead, his entire left arm trembled, his face turned pale, and he said, "Can you be gentle!" ”

Jing Niang didn't speak, she took off her coat directly, wiped the blood for him, and picked up a short sword to roast on the lamp. Guo Shao hurriedly pulled out his middle coat to see the hole, but fortunately, the clothes were only torn by the arrow, and no piece of cloth was directly broken in the wound. He picked up the thing he had plucked again, looked at the bloody clusters of arrows on it, and asked, "What kind of poison is this?" ”

Jing Niang said: "It should be arsenic, you can't die, and if you release the blood, it's okay." ”

Guo Shao asked, "Isn't arsenic drunk?" ”

Jing Niang said: "The easiest thing to find is arsenic, where are the other poisons to be found?" ”

At this time, Guo Shao suddenly felt hot under his collarbone, and Jing Niang buried her head in her mouth and sucked at his wound. Guo Shao hurriedly pressed her head: "Arsenic is a heavy metal arsenic, and you can't die when you see blood, so it's dangerous for you to eat it." ”

"Bah......" Jing Niang spat out and ignored him.
