Chapter 269: Choosing a Day
Suddenly, Xu Guichun's eyes were sour, and he couldn't help crying again, sobbing in a low voice of grievance and despair.
The old woman was full of distress, stretched out her hand to hug Xu Guichun and the child, and the three of them curled up together, crying in despair.
"Gui Chun, how is this good. If we hurt Huo Xuan's cub today, our family will definitely have no life. The old woman said sadly.
Xu Guichun didn't react much, just tears in his eyes, and he kept going.
She forcibly pressed her heart, she wanted to be strong, but in the end, she was too sad and painful in her heart, and the whole person was extremely sad, and it was completely difficult to really calm down.
She is just a woman after all, even if she has ambitions, she doesn't know how to solve the current problems, let alone how to support her family.
She just clenched her teeth and sobbed uncontrollably. After staying for a long time, she finally choked up and said, "Mother, don't worry." Huo Xuan is targeting me alone, as long as I leave here, or die, Huo Xuan will really stop and will not embarrass you anymore. ”
As soon as these words came out, the old woman cried even more sadly.
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about! What do you call you gone, you die, no matter how powerful Huo Xuan's family is, he definitely can't take people's lives. There is always a royal law in this world, so Huo Xuan can't kill people at will. The old woman said sadly.
Xu Guichun blushed, shook his head, and stopped talking, but he still couldn't speak.
Although it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if Huo Xuan wants to kill someone, he will naturally be able to capture it, and it is very easy to settle. In addition, in Chu Jingzhong, the officials protect each other, and she Xu Guichun has no money and no power, so she was killed by Huo Xuan, and who will help her by dripping into this pool of sewage for her.
She knew this in her heart, and it was precisely because of this that she became more and more desperate.
She forcibly pressed her mind and didn't say a word.
The old woman suddenly thought of something, and immediately looked up at the couch not far away, her eyes were also angry and hateful on Sihan on the couch, and she said angrily: "It's all her fault!" Blame the woman on the couch! If she hadn't hurt Huo Xuan, we would still have a way to live. Now that Huo Xuan has been injured, I can't guarantee that someone from the Huo family will come to arrest us later. ”
As he spoke, his voice became more and more raised, and he said anxiously and sadly: "Gui Chun, your father has always said that this woman can't be saved, but you have a soft heart and want to leave her!" Now this woman has hurt Huo Xuan, our family must be burdened by her and lose all their lives. ”
The old woman was extremely angry, but she also regretted it to the extreme, although her heart was up and down, but in the end, she had to cry sadly, anxious and helpless.
Xu Guichun sat paralyzed, his teeth clenched, but he still didn't speak.
When the old woman choked up again and counted the woman on the couch, she frowned, and said hoarsely and sadly: "Mother, this is our life, no wonder that girl." If that girl hadn't made a move today, I would have been beaten to death by Huo Xuan, how could I have the life to talk to you at this time. ”
As he spoke, he forcibly cheered up, stretched out his hand and wiped the tears on his face suddenly, and then hurriedly pushed the old woman away, and said hoarsely and in a low voice: "Mother, Huo Xuan will not let us go, because of this Chu Jing, we can't stay." Hurry up and get Daddy back, I'll pack up at home. When Daddy returned, we fled out of the city as quickly as possible. ”
The old woman was startled, "You said you were going to run away from the city?" But we still have chickens and ducks in this yard......"
Xu Guichun couldn't bear it, but after all, he still frowned and forcibly said: "Mother, I can't take care of these things at this time." I know that this courtyard is your root, but it is important to save your life now, and if we can really escape this fate, we can come back secretly in the future. ”
Her tone was full of consolation, just because she was forced to be calm, and did not reveal too much despair and melancholy in her tone, but after seeing her mother nod and get up and trot out of the house, her whole body was out of force again, and her eyes fell on the distance outside the house, and she stopped talking.
Whether she can really escape this time, even she doesn't dare to imagine it. It's just that with Huo Xuan's ruthless nature, if they still stay here this time, they will die, so although they know that there is little hope of escaping out of the city, it is better than staying here and waiting for death.
Xu Guichun sat on the ground for a while before coming back to his senses again, and then forcibly pressed his mind and got up with his hands and feet.
She stood tremblingly, lowered her eyes and swept towards her son, only to see that his immature face was full of horror and tears, she couldn't bear it, but she had no choice but to look away, didn't dare to look again, and said in a voice as low as possible: "Don't be afraid, hurry up and pack up your favorite things, we have to get out of here as soon as possible." ”
The child choked and sobbed, but he was still sensible after all. He nodded slightly, then turned around without saying a word and began to pack his things.
Xu Guichun didn't delay any longer, and began to pack up his clothes, but when he had just packed all the clothes and was about to go out of the house to pack up his parents' clothes, when he turned around, his eyes accidentally swept over the couch not far away, and he saw that the woman who was lying on the couch on her back sat up at some point.
She was taken off guard for a moment, her eyes swept over her face, and she saw that her face was still pale, but her sharp and cold pupils were clear and calm, that is, those thrilling things had just happened, and it seemed that she didn't care about it.
This woman is full of majesty and power, she really can't learn, and she is really inexplicably in awe, and even, she can't help but feel that her eyes are too cold and too cold, majestic and proud, just like a powerful person, her eyes are full of coldness, like observing ants, staring at her.
"Today's incident has frightened the girl, I hope the girl will forgive me." There was a taboo in her heart, she didn't dare to look at her more, so she just pretended to look away naturally and began to make amends politely.
But as soon as these words fell, the woman did not answer and asked: "Do you think that if you run away with your family, you can really escape?" ”
Xu Guichun frowned, his face changed, and he did not reply.
After being silent for a moment, she sighed and said helplessly: "Whether you can escape or not, you have to run away this time." Besides, the girl really shouldn't interfere in today's affairs, I don't blame the girl for offending Huo Xuan, but I feel that the girl and I are just meeting in the water, and I really shouldn't be in this muddy water for me. That Huo Xuan's family has a big business, it is indeed not easy to mess with, and now the girl has also hurt him, this time, there is only the tired girl, you can escape out of the city with us. ”
She said a little kindly, trying her best to hide her pathos and helplessness.
It's just that as soon as these words came out, seeing that the woman on the couch was silent for a long time, she hesitated for a moment and continued to slow down: "Girl, don't worry, we will not leave the girl on this trip, even I, Xu Guichun, have fought for this life, and I will not let Huo Xuan harm the innocent person of the girl." ”
She said it very firmly, and her tone was undisguised with a bit of persistence.
She never expected that in her lifetime, Yan Sihan would need a poor people from Chu State to save her. It's just that although she doesn't have much contact with this Xu Guichun, she can't be wrong about looking at people, this Xu Guichun is really a kind person, and even so good that he is almost a bad person with no head and no brains.
Before she didn't know her identity at all, Xu Guichun dared to take care of her in the house, and after this catastrophe, what she thought about was not to blame her for her sudden intervention, but to make Yan Sihan wade into troubled waters and feel sorry.
All of this is in the eyes, and if there is no strange feeling in the bottom of the heart, it is naturally impossible.
Sihan frowned slightly, and was silent for a moment, and the complex and distant meaning in his heart became more and more thick.
In just a moment, her lips moved, and she finally asked the words that had been accumulated in her heart for the past few days, and then her voice was restricted and it was difficult to ask, "And now this Great Chu, is still the king of Chu as the emperor?" Xu Guichun was stunned, he really didn't expect Sihan to suddenly ask like this.
But he suddenly reacted and Sihan was in a coma a few days ago, so he naturally didn't know about this big Chu change of the sky. She pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "No, Da Chu has already changed the sky." A few days ago, the emperor list was issued, and the country of Chu has changed its name to Zhou, and now the emperor of Zhou is no longer the king of Chu, but the second son of the king of Chu succeeds to the throne as the new emperor. ”
Is it?
Sihan was stunned in his heart, and a complex and stunned meaning flowed wantonly in the bottom of his heart.
She didn't expect that this Chu State had changed drastically, and even the name of the Great Chu State in the past was abolished. She also thought that if the Hongmen banquet set up by the king of Chu failed, it would be just that her life was in danger, and the state of Chu fell into the hands of all countries; If it wins, the state of Chu will grow stronger and mighty, and the country will expand. Unexpectedly, the situation has evolved like this, which she did not expect in advance.
Her face became more and more complicated, and for a while, she did not immediately say anything.
Xu Guichun stared at her a few times, didn't say much, and was about to step out of the house again, but before he could move, Sihan had already spoken again, "What about the King of Chu?" Now that the name of the Great Chu State has been abolished and the throne has been changed, how is your old Chu king? Is it dead or has it been robbed? ”
Xu Guichun was shocked after all, and there was a little irrepressible consternation and fear in his heart.
"Girl, why do you care so much about the affairs of your family and country?" She subconsciously asked this, and when her voice blurted out, she saw that the pupils of the woman on the couch shrank, and her pupils were abnormally cold, her heart jumped, and she immediately lowered her eyes, but she didn't dare to look at her for no reason.
She still had doubts in her heart. After all, if they are ordinary civilians, how can they be so concerned about the lords of the country, for them ordinary people, in fact, who ascends the throne and dominates the country is not too important to them, after all, whoever enters the country, their poor life still has to live the same life, and tea, rice, oil and salt still have to worry about it. Although some people are a little curious to talk about the affairs of the family and the country, if the people who really mention the political leaders of the family and the country so sharply, ordinary people will naturally not be able to say it.
Similarly, although the king of Chu abdicated, looking at the whole country of Chu, few people dared to ask whether the king of Chu was dead.
After all, the word 'death' is fine for ordinary people to use, but if you don't use this word on the monarch of a country, you will lose your head.
"It's just that I've been in a coma for too long, and I don't know what is going on. Would you like to tell me, what is happening to the king of Chu now? Sihan was full of silence, and Sen Ran's cold eyes looked at Xu Guichun quietly, and he could guess what was going on under her stunned and restrained face.
However, she was still not ready to avoid this topic, and still asked out loud again.
Xu Guichun was helpless, hesitated for a moment, and then replied in a whisper, "Chujing was turbulent a few days ago, and the girl should also know." The king of Chu and the prince of Da Chu were ...... on the night when the girl fell into a coma Killed. ”
In the last few words, she bites the words very lightly.
Sihan raised the corner of his eyes and continued to ask: "Who killed him?" ”
Xu Guichun shook his head suddenly, not daring to say more. Although there are rumors outside that he was killed by the Prince of Tanglin, and there are also rumors that he was killed by the people of Loulan, but the rumors are just rumors, and there is no way to study them, and she Xu Guichun naturally does not dare to talk about it in front of this woman.
After all, the topic is too sensitive and special, and it is useless to say more, lest Huo Xuan, who has not been able to get rid of it, will cause trouble again due to inconsiderate words.
She was worried and cautious.
Seeing Sihan's expression move, her lips opened, as if she was about to say something again, her eyes jumped, and she hurriedly took a step ahead of Sihan and said: "Girl, it is about the King of Chu and the new emperor of the Great Zhou, and I hope that the girl will not talk and explore too much." The girl Xu didn't know, but now the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has a fierce temper, cold-blooded and ruthless, and on the day of his accession to the throne, he can kill the ceremonial officials outside the palace at will, and it is not easy to provoke him. I hope that the girl will not mention the matter of the King of Chu and the Great Zhou again, and now that we have offended Huo Xuan, this time it is naturally important to flee for your life. ”
As he spoke, he held back his emotions and raised his voice, "Girl, wait in the house for a while, and I'll go to my mother's house to pack up their clothes for them." When my father and mother returned, we fled out of the city together. ”
As soon as these words came out, he did not delay any longer, and immediately stepped out of the door.
When Xu Guichun disappeared outside the door, Sihan came back to his senses, his thoughts were churning far away, and for a while, his pale face sank a little more.
She had never seen the new emperor of Great Chu, so she naturally didn't know what kind of temperament the new emperor of Great Chu was, or whether it was easy to get along with. It's just that listening to Xu Guichun's words, thinking that the new emperor of Da Chu has a temperament, he is naturally cold and ruthless, not good, and not easy to get along with.
It's just that now that she is trapped in Chujing, her body is not tough, and now if she dares to flee towards Tanglin, not to mention that there are no cars and horses, no soldiers and guards to protect her, and there is no soft gold and silver on her body, just with these, if she wants to walk back to Tanglin on her own legs, it is naturally whimsical and difficult to climb to the sky.
The more I thought about it, the more cold and distant the meaning in my heart rose.
When the gaze turned a little, I couldn't help but sweep to the child sitting on the couch, and saw the child, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was full of tears, but the eyes that fell towards her were curious and wary, like a hedgehog, staring at him nervously.
I have to say that this Xu Guichun's son looks somewhat similar to Xu Guichun, but in terms of temperament, the mother and son are worlds apart. Xu Guichun is cowardly and timid, but this child has slightly sharp eyes, if he can cultivate well, he will grow up to be a heroic and uninhibited talent in the future.
Her expression moved slightly, and the corners of her eyes were slightly raised.
The child stared at her, and the look of guard on his face grew heavier.
Sihan didn't say anything, she just moved her body slightly and wanted to stay, but her body bones were really sour and unbearable, and her body was slightly weak, so she threw something out of thin air to hit Huo Xuan a few times, and she had already exerted all her strength, and now she suddenly relaxed, and the sourness and stiffness in her body were still serious, even if she moved, it was slightly difficult.
Her brow furrowed, and she tried to stand up to her discomfort, but her legs were too weak to stand.
After a few attempts, she finally gave up, and sat on the couch softly, no longer moving.
In just a moment, the child on the small couch suddenly came down and stood directly beside her couch, and then those immature eyes looked at Sihan without hesitation, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to stand up?" ”
Sihan's pupils shrank, but he didn't speak.
The child was not annoyed, and immediately turned around and held the dress placed in the corner of the bed in front of Sihan.
Sihan lowered her eyes and saw that what the child was holding in her hand was a new dress that Xu Guichun had sewn for her.
Her heart sank unguardedly.
Seeing that she didn't reach out to pick it up, the child's small hand once again moved the dress towards Sihan with a little difficulty, "Mother said that we have to leave here immediately, it's cold outside, you put this on first, don't worry my mother anymore." ”
His voice is really immature, but the words he blurted out are like a little adult.
Sihan looked at him indifferently and didn't say anything.
The child was also extremely stubborn, and pushed her dress closer and closer, "You wear it quickly." ”
Si Han stared at him for a moment, but finally reached out and took the dress, and after putting the dress on thoroughly, she took a deep breath and tried to stand again.
Her movements were extremely slow and slow, and her body bones that had been lying for a long time were really a little unfavorable, and her legs and feet were stiff and sore as usual, and she couldn't use her strength. It's just that she is also a person who does not admit defeat, she gave up for the first time, this time she has rested for so long, so she naturally tries more, and after a few efforts, she finally gritted her teeth and stood up, but her legs were trembling and unstable, her body was staggering, and the whole person was shaky.
The child hurriedly stepped up, and his small hand hugged Sihan, but he was thin and small, although he was supporting Sihan this time, but he couldn't hold half the strength.
Sihan raised the corners of her eyes slightly, didn't say a word, and never really pushed the child away, just stepped forward with a little difficulty and slowly, gradually moving, and when her body finally stood at the threshold, she leaned against the door, and her forehead was unconsciously covered with a layer of cold sweat.
At this time, a breeze came from the door, and it blew straight to the face, rolling a little cool.
After lying in this house for so long, this was the first time she looked at the panoramic view outside the house, and saw that the courtyard dam outside the house was uneven, and there were only a few trees around, and there was nothing else.
All the houses in this courtyard are also surrounded by earthen walls, and some of the walls are deeply broken.
