In the face of these vigorous and turbulent, but inexplicably justified and respectful Jingwei, the people were really shocked one after another, these days there are too many sudden things, overwhelmed layer by layer, they are really shocked, unguardable, seeing that the Jingwei did not find anything, they went straight to say goodbye and left, the people were discharged from the hospital to watch, and then several neighbors began to stare at the back of the Jingwei in a group and discussed.

"This Chu Kyoto has stopped, what are these guards searching for? Could it be that there are still people from all countries who have slipped through the net in this Chu Jing? ”

"I can't say exactly. Last night was so chaotic, I can't say if there are fish from all countries that have slipped through the net. ”

“……”

After a long time, someone suddenly whispered and said mysteriously: "I heard that I have a brother who is on an errand in the army and said that this time the new emperor sent Jingwei to search carefully from house to house overnight, saying yes, to search for a woman." ”

The soldiers searched the whole city, and the formation was very large, even if the words and deeds were not tyrannical, but they still caused the people of the whole city to be feared and panicked.

The night in Chujing was extremely cold, and the cold wind was blowing wantonly, extremely cold, as if a storm was coming. And after the third watch, the sky was really pouring rain, and the drizzle was densely weaving, enveloping the entire Chu Kyoto in wind and rain.

For so many years, although the climate in Chujing is cool, it is extremely rare to have such heavy rain in this season. The strings of raindrops left wantonly along the eaves, ticking to the ground, and the water was brittle and overflowing, making it difficult to sleep.

The column of Chu army Jingwei is still searching in the whole city, rain or shine.

In a private kiln in the west of the city, the courtyard is dilapidated and simple, with many loopholes, and when the rain comes, the entire courtyard begins to leak. 7

The owners of the house, two white-haired couples, were already tormented by the rain and could not sleep peacefully, and they endured the inconvenience of their legs and feet, and after lighting the lamp, they began to use pots to collect the rain in the house.

At this time, the floor of the house was already covered with large water stains, and even the bedding on the bed had been soaked by the rain.

However, after a while, the water stains in the house had not been fully cleaned up, and the white-haired woman immediately turned her head to look at the white-haired old man beside her, frowned, and said worriedly: "Old man, you go to Guichun House to have a look." The rain was too heavy, and the girl in Gui Chun's house was still feverish, and if it leaked rain and suffered from the cold, she would not be able to save it. ”

The old woman's voice was a little anxious.

The old man did not dare to delay, nodded hurriedly, and then put on his coat and held up a broken umbrella and went out of the house.

My daughter's house, on the north side of the courtyard, walked only ten steps away, but when I got to the door of my daughter's house, I saw that there was a light on the door of the house, and there was a sound floating in the house, and I thought that the girl from home was also awake.

"Gui Chun. Can the house leak rain? ”

He lowered his voice slightly, and asked with concern.

As soon as these words fell, there was no reply in the house, but there was a sound of hurried footsteps quickly approaching the door of the house, and it was a moment, the door opened from the inside, and Xu Guichun was standing in the door wearing a thick jacket.

"Dad, the leak in the house is not serious. However, the girl's fever became worse and worse, and her body was hot, and I used wine to cool her down, but it could not be lowered. Let's see if you want to invite the big man over. ”

Xu Guichun's voice was a little anxious.

In the end, it is a life, and since it is destined to be saved, it is natural to want to do good things to the end.

"You just came back from your husband's house, we still have to raise a baby for you, how can you have spare money to hire a doctor for that girl. You don't know that the husband is a big man, and there must be a tael of a night visit, and our family is now smashing pots and selling iron, and we can't get together a tael of silver. ”

The old man sighed again and again, and spoke out helplessly.

His family is so poor that he can't open the pot, and his daughter is not easy to marry into a rich family as a concubine, but after being humiliated, he was sent back with his five-year-old child.

It's not that his old man is not good, but he is short of money, there is really no way, now he has taken a jar of wine that has been treasured for many years to cool down the woman and reduce fever, it is already benevolent and righteous, if he is asked to pay the money to ask the doctor, it is really unaffordable.

Thinking of this, the old man sighed more and more, raised his eyes to look at his daughter's unbearable face, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "We only met that woman in Pingshui, and now it is the end of our benevolence and righteousness to take her in for two days, if she dies of high fever tonight, it is no wonder that we are." ”

"But, Daddy......"

"Gui Chun, I know you can't bear it, but I don't think that girl is an idle person, you look at what she is wearing, although it is full of blood, but that brocade robe can only be worn by high-class people, plus you have also seen, she has a wound on her shoulder, it is a wound that can only be stabbed by a sword, in case this woman is a fierce and evil person, or if there is an enemy chasing her, our family will have to be affected by her."

Xu Guichun's brows furrowed terribly, clenched his teeth, and said nothing.

The old man sighed more and more, "Guichun, listen to Dad, let this woman resign herself to fate." If she dies tonight, we will secretly bury her, and if she is not dead, we will have to send her out after the rain stops. ”

When these words came into his ears, Xu Guichun's heart sank, and all kinds of emotions were intertwined layer by layer, and he was undecided.

She glanced back at the woman lying on the couch, gritted her teeth, and finally said, "Daddy, saving someone's life is a good deed at that time." That girl is also a poor person, and she was a good girl but she was hurt like that. I, Xu Guichun, have been abandoned by my husband's family in this life, and I am already unlucky, and now that I have met that girl, I naturally can't abandon others, I have to do my best to treat her well. I still believe that good is rewarded, that girl, she doesn't look like a wicked person. ”

The old man choked suddenly, and he couldn't get angry, "You brainless! Why don't you listen to what I say! How do you know she's not wicked? In case we really cure her, once her enemies chase her, we will have to bury her. Gui Chun, it's not worth paying so much for such an unknown person, you just listen to my advice. ”

Xu Guichun didn't listen to this, but just reached into his arms and took out a brocade handkerchief. The Jinpa was wrapped in something, and Xu Guichun carefully lifted the Jinpa, revealing a jade bracelet.

She was full of reluctance, distressed, hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and handed the jade bracelet to the old man, "Our family has no money to pay for the consultation, so let's give this thing to the big man." ”

The old man gasped, jumped to his feet in anger, and in a hurry, his breath was uneven, and he coughed suddenly.

"You've figured it out! This is your husband's dowry gift! This is a valuable thing given by the rich and noble! Don't you really want it? In case your husband suddenly relents and takes you and the child back, it depends on how you can get this thing! ”

Xu Guichun's eyes were full of sadness, and he shook his head in despair, "He beat me to death, and threw me and the child out like dead dogs, he is so ruthless, he will definitely not take me and the child back." This thing, don't want it, keep it but still worry about it. ”

The old man's face was full of ups and downs, but he did not speak.

After a long time, the wind and rain around him became stronger and stronger, and the cold wind poured into the house, almost blowing out all the candles in the house.

The old man sighed, and his voice suddenly became helpless and sad, "Well, that ungrateful cub, it's better to give his things away." Don't be too sad, the son of the pork seller will come to see you, and although he is not as powerful and rich as your husband, he is also an honest man. You will be with him in the future, and the old man can rest assured. ”

As soon as these words fell, he reached out and took the jade bracelet in Xu Guichun's hand, pinched it in the palm of his hand, and then hurriedly turned around, not daring to let his daughter see the sad and indignant old tears in his eyes, so he immediately held up the tattered oil-paper umbrella, and stepped on the rain and walked towards the courtyard gate.

"It's windy, look at the door. If you want to save the girl, I will follow you, old man. But tomorrow the pork seller's son is coming, and you have to deal with it well, and don't mess it up. ”

He didn't look back, and his tone was full of helplessness and advice.

Xu Guichun's nose was sour, his eyes fell quietly on the old woman's rickety back, and tears rained down.

When he closed the door, he saw that his son was standing behind him at some point, looking up at her without saying a word.

"Wake up?"

She was caught off guard, hurriedly wiped her tears, squatted down, and smiled at her son.

The child stared at her quietly, although she was a young age, but her face was extremely angry and cold, and this coldness was completely beyond his age, and he was extremely mature.

This child has not been pampered by his father since he was a child, and since he was a child, he has been accustomed to seeing her being abused and bullied by her husband, and even three days both of her head are bruised and swollen all over her body.

She looked at him with tolerant and affectionate eyes, but for a moment, he turned around and trotted without saying a word, got on the couch by himself, got into the futon, and stopped talking.

Xu Guichun sighed, this kind of scene has been experienced too much, and his heart has long been numb. She didn't say anything more, and instructed her son to cover the quilt, and then went to the main couch, and began to wipe the unconscious woman on the couch with wine again.

The night rain was rapid, pouring down. The tiles overhead, crackling and violent, seemed to be pierced by the rain.

She was helpless, but she was worried that the roof had really collapsed.

Not long after she was trembling, not far from the house, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps, and then, she vaguely heard her neighbor say respectfully and nervously: "Ladies and gentlemen, you are ......

Before he finished speaking, someone said resolutely and coldly: "We are waiting for the emperor's order to search the houses." Do not be afraid, we will search and go, and we will not embarrass you in any way. ”

When these words came into his ears, Xu Guichun trembled.

Two days ago, she experienced a thrilling battle in the whole city, and now when she encountered the official search again, she was suddenly frightened, and even subconsciously those official searches were related to the woman on her couch.

She lowered her eyes, glanced at the woman on the couch by the faint light, and then her heart was horizontal, and she immediately hurriedly moved the woman on the couch and hid it in the dilapidated wardrobe, and then covered it all with a worn-out blanket.

By the time everything was finished, she was already covered in cold sweat, and before she could even tidy up the messy bed, someone knocked on the courtyard door outside the door.

She frowned and looked shocked, and only after forcing a few deep breaths did she go out to open the door with an oil-paper umbrella.

Outside the courtyard gate, a torch lingered, and the torches in the hands of those Jingwei illuminated the surroundings, which was also extremely rare to add a little swaying warmth to this rainy night.

The guard standing at the front still spoke as she had told her neighbor, saying that he was going to search the courtyard. Her attitude was a little calm, and there was no edge, but even so, she was still frightened and her limbs went limp.

She nodded nervously, not daring to say more.

When the guards saw that she was trembling nervously, they thought that she was frightened by the formation of the elite guard, but they didn't pay too much attention to it.

In just a moment, all the Jingwei were admitted to the hospital and began to search vigorously, but the footsteps were slightly soft, and they even said hello to their old mother with a slight reason.

Xu Guichun was full of worries and followed a few guards into his house.

The house was dilapidated, and the rain dripped in, and the ground was still wet. Or maybe it was because of the presence of children, and the guards were not too aggressive, but slightly lighter, but when the guards were about to open her dilapidated cabinet, her pupils shrank, her heart tightened, and the whole person froze on the spot, as if suffocating.

Her heart was beating so hard that she seemed to be about to jump out of her throat, but even so, she didn't have the courage to interrupt the movements of those guards, and the whole person had to freeze in place, praying for God's blessing in the bottom of her heart.

In a moment, those guards finally opened the cabinet door very simply, and in the cabinet door, the messy blankets were piled up in the cabinet, and there was no different color on their faces, so they just wanted to reach out and remove the blanket at will, but at this moment, someone outside the courtyard suddenly shouted, and it was gloomy, "There is something different outside the courtyard, chase." ”

These words were shouted extremely aventurin, hurried and anxious.

In an instant, the guards' hands close to the blanket suddenly stiffened, and the whole person turned around, and then several people quickly jumped out of the room and disappeared outside the courtyard gate in the blink of an eye.

Xu Guichun suddenly lost his strength, and his whole body was paralyzed to the ground, trembling all over.

The old woman also came from the dark in the main house, nervously helped Xu Guichun up, and said anxiously: "Guichun, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xu Guichun took a few deep breaths and forcibly calmed down, "Mother, hurry up and close the courtyard door." ”

As soon as these words fell, he forcibly struggled to stand up.

The old woman didn't dare to delay, hurriedly went out of the house and closed the courtyard door, and when the old woman returned to her house, Xu Guichun hurriedly uncovered the blanket in the cabinet and helped the unconscious woman who was limp into a ball to the bed.

The woman's eyes were closed, but her cheeks were abnormally flushed, and her whole body was extremely hot.

She didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly began to wipe the wine for her to cool down again, the old woman lowered her eyes and glanced at the woman's appearance, and said in a low voice: "This girl is good-looking, better than our Liuyu girl in Chujing." At that time, I saw the feather girl traveling in a car on the street, and I thought that the feather girl was very good-looking, but this girl was even better looking than the feather girl. But I don't know which girl's daughter this girl is, and she is so sinned. ”

"Mother, I see that this girl is full of extraordinary, maybe those guards are looking for her. We also do good deeds to save people, but no matter what, so many guards embarrass a girl's family can't say anything about it. Don't mention this girl to the neighbors, don't spread the word about this girl. ”

"Rest assured, my mother is not a person with a long tongue. I also like this girl, but I don't know if this girl is good or bad, alas. ”

The old woman was also full of doubts in her heart, and she was undecided, if she was not worried about the identity and good and evil of the woman on the couch, it was naturally impossible.

But this time the rescue is saved, you can't throw it out again like a cat and a dog, it's a life, if you really throw it out, this girl will be a dead end.

After all, the bottom of her heart was still soft, and the old woman sighed a few times and said no more.

The lights flickered, and the light and shadow moved.

Not long after, the old man and the husband returned in the rain.

Seeing that the woman on the couch had a serious fever, the huge husband sighed twice, and did not dare to delay, so he immediately began to administer needles and medicines. By the time the work was over, a long time had passed, and the sky was a little brighter.

The big man stretched out his stiff and sour body bones, and then checked the woman's pulse again, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Eased up." ”

Xu Guichun's family hurriedly thanked him.

The old man held an umbrella and began to send the husband out.

The sky was slightly bright, and the heavy rain poured all night was finally a little lighter.

The big man dragged his sour body forward, and after leaving the courtyard gate, he paused slightly, and his eyes fell towards the old man, "I've been busy with my work, but I don't have time to ask you." At this time, I would like to ask, Old Man Xu, who did your distant relative offend? The wound on her body was a sword wound. ”

The old man was stopped by these words, choked for a moment, and then said: "When that baby entered the city to join me, he met a mountain bandit outside the city and was wounded by a sword. Alas, it's also a poor baby, it's too sinful. ”

The husband nodded clearly, "I see that girl is very good-looking, if she doesn't die this time, she will be blessed." By the way, my rabbit cub is just over twenty, and he has never courted a daughter-in-law. You also know that I am such a rabbit cub, and I am anxious in my heart, and I will wait for your relatives to be well, and you will arrange for my son to meet your relatives, if it is done, the dowry or something will be indispensable to your family. ”

As soon as these words fell, he even took out the jade bracelet that Old Man Xu gave him at the beginning and handed it to Old Man Xu, "You can also accept this thing first, and I won't accept the consultation fee this time." ”

Old man Xu was shocked for a moment, and said extremely unnaturally: "Huge man, this may be inappropriate......

"There's something wrong with that. It's not that the two children are forced to be together, but just let them meet and try. If you really look at each other, it will be a good thing to get married when the time comes. ”
