Chapter 45: Escape
Since they met, Gu Yuankun has been like a little burden for her, she has been taken wherever she goes, and she rarely has to take the initiative to go out.
Xu Sa felt even more rare, and looked up at Tiandao: "Don't go out, what if it rains red for a while?" ”
Gu Yuankun: "......"
Grinning silently, Xu Sa turned around and gently hammered Gu Yuankun's chest: "Call Master, I'll take you out!" ”
Gu Yuankun looked at her with an incomprehensible gaze: "Why do you want to force me to carry you out?" ”
Xu Sa almost choked on saliva.
"O rebel...... It's really a rebel......"
In the middle of the night, she took Gu Yuankun out of Longxing Villa.
The left and right chests were stuffy and uncomfortable, so she deliberately walked out through the side door. The porter at the side door will not stop her, at most she will report it, and by the time the owner of Fu Dazhuang knows that she is going out, there will be no one at the side door.
"Rebel, did you come out to buy something?" Xu Sa asked.
Gu Yuankun said: "Take me to the largest epistolary hall in the city." ”
"Epistolary?" Xu Sa looked at him inquiringly, recalled his abnormal behavior before, and guessed, "You want to send a letter?" ”
Moreover, the largest epistolary hall in the city was named, which can be seen to send letters to Changliao.
Gu Yuankun let out a faint "um", "You lead the way." ”
The Epistolary Hall is one of the more important buildings. Even though Chu Di has been in turmoil for many years, the former Correspondence Museum is still alive, and even the address has not changed. Xu Sa weighed it and said, "Let's walk." ”
Walking along the road, I saw the gate of the Epistolary Hall in less than half an hour. Gu Yuankun stared at the plaque on it and walked straight in. Xu Sa hurriedly followed, staring at Gu Yuankun and taking out a letter from his arms.
"Why didn't you sign it?" Xu Sa frowned, "What's the matter with the mark on it, it was stepped on by the horse's hooves?" ”
looked at her helplessly, and saw that she was dressed luxuriously and her makeup was exquisite...... Gu Yuankun pulled her to a place where no one was: "You probably won't, you want to dress up like this, as the eldest lady of Longxing Villa, and be picked up and thrown out by me, right?" ”
"Hey, you......" Xu Sao gritted his teeth with a smile, "You kid threatened me with addiction?" ”
"Anyway, you're standing here."
Leaving these words, Gu Yuankun turned back, deliberately lowered his voice, and then handed over the money with one hand and the pigeon in the other, rolled up the letter and stuffed it into the letterbox, and released the carrier pigeon when he went out.
"Ah, and, boy, I've got to tell you something."
The owner of the Epistle Pavilion saw Gu Yuankun coming back, and said with a strange expression: "A few days ago, somehow, our Epistle Pavilion suddenly suffered from dozens of carrier pigeons flying to Changliao, and it is risky for you to send this letter, if something happens and it is found back, our Epistle Pavilion will send it to you again, but it may be a few days late." ”
"I don't care." After the cold voice was answered, Gu Yuankun turned to mention Xu Sa, "Let's go." ”
Xu Sa looked suspicious: "Yuan Kun, you are so suspicious!" ”
Gu Yuankun didn't answer, turned around and wanted to go out. Xu Sa caught up, ran in front of him, and said unhappily: "What's even more annoying is that you are still here with me openly and suspiciously!" ”
"You don't have to worry about these things." Glancing at her lightly, Gu Yuankun only asked, "Do you have any places to go?" ”
"Where else can I go? I can't go where I want to go, and I can't go to the place where I should be familiar......" Xu Sa pouted.
But she didn't want to go back to Longhang Villa now.
simply pointed in a direction that he hadn't paid attention to before: "That's it, go over there." ”
Xinyu was curious: "Where does that lead over there?" The slave hasn't been there. ”
"Just look at it?" Xu Sa shrugged his shoulders and deliberately told Gu Yuankun, "Keep up, I won't be able to find you if you get lost!" ”
Gu Yuankun sneered.
was just a casual walk, Xu Sa never thought that she would meet acquaintances in the alleys.
It's not too familiar to say, it's the previous Doctor Zhou. Seeing Dr. Zhou carrying the medicine box on his back, his face was solemn and he was buried forward, Xu Sa hesitated, considering whether to face the wall and pretend not to see it.
Before the decision was made, Dr. Zhou saw her first: "Mrs. Zhuang? ”
"Ah, Dr. Zhou." Xu Sa instantly smiled, "What a coincidence, I was able to meet you here." ”
She doesn't have to deliberately pretend to be dumb anymore, and it is much easier to communicate with others.
But when Dr. Zhou heard her voice, he didn't react in surprise at all, but looked behind him sweating profusely, and said in a low voice: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, it's better for the owner's wife to leave earlier, Zhou Mou left first!" ”
With that, he checked the medicine box and continued to bury his head and walk forward.
Xu Sa laughed and laughed.
Xinyu also felt strange: "Is something wrong?" Why is this man in a hurry? ”
Xu Sa shrugged: "Since everyone has persuaded us, let's go back, and don't ......go back too late."
When he turned around, before the word "go" could be spoken, Xu Sa was smashed on his forehead by an apple core.
"Who!?"
Gu Yuankun immediately lifted his weapon, and Xu Sa also quietly shifted his right foot and glanced around vigilantly.
Xinyu saw the kernel on the ground clearly, and shouted angrily: "Who! Littering things and smashing my master! ”
"You're the new owner of Longhang Villa?"
In the quiet of the afternoon, a slightly immature voice sounded, and there was resentment in the tone.
When Xu Sa heard the voice, he restrained his momentum, stood up straight and said, "I am, dare to ask who your Excellency is?" ”
"Whoa."
The leaves of the trees shook, and the three of them followed the sound on the road, only to see a cat-like shadow popping out of the canopy, staggering its knees back and forth, and half-crouching on the wall.
The girl with a baby face looked not tall and couldn't figure out her age, but she smiled aggressively, and said directly to Xu Sa: "This girl will not change her name or change her surname, Longye Twelve Lane, known as Xiaofanger!" ”
Xu Sa looked at her: "You just smashed me?" ”
The little girl didn't say a word, she also looked at Xu Sa, and asked interestingly after a while: "Dare to walk into this alley under the name of Longxing Villa, are you too bold, or are you owners who are willing to be lackeys of the court haven't told you the rules?" ”
"What do you mean by that, girl?" Xu Sa didn't laugh angrily, and looked at the alley calmly, "Could it be that in this Longye City, there is still a forbidden place for the people of Longxing Villa?" ”
"You seem to be bold?" Not to be outdone, the little girl raised her eyebrows and whistled suddenly.
After the loud whistle, the air was silent for a moment, and a wolf howl of "woo-" came from nowhere, and then a huge wild wolf rushed towards Xu Sa!
Xu Sa was stunned.
This stunned man was not only because of a wolf, but behind the wild wolf was more than a dozen unkempt men with sickles and rakes!
"She's the new owner of the Longxing Villa, grab her!" Xiao Fang'er gave an order, and she jumped down from the wall, raising her chin and smiling at Xu Sa: "This can stand, I will admire you first...... And then I'll get you arrested! ”
With a sudden look, Xiao Fang'er reached out and pulled Xu Sa's wrist, wanting to capture her.
Xu Sa was startled just now, but he reacted at this moment, but he didn't want to be bullied standing up, so he immediately made a mistake, dodged and arrested, and called Gu Yuankun with Xinyu: "Go!" ”
"Hey, why did you run away?" Xiao Fang'er took a bumpy step, and got drunk when she pulled her legs, while commanding the wild wolf and the middle-aged man, "Chase separately!" Plug them up! ”
Xinyu was out of breath when she was dragged and ran, but Gu Yuankun could still cope with Xu Sa and kept up with Xu Sa: "What's going on?" ”
"I don't know, what's the situation?" Xu Sa didn't expect that there was just a little girl just now, where did she beat a dozen strong men? And a wolf!
Longye is the capital of Chudi, when did it become so chaotic!?
If there were only Xu Sa and Gu Yuankun, they could still run over the wall, but with Xinyu, they could only flee in a panic. The shouts were far and near, and the alley was turning east and west, I don't know how long it took, Xinyu still choked and said: "Master, the slave can't run, can't run......"
"You ......" Xu Sa's physique is better than Xinyu's, but she is also long, and she is tired after running for a long time, so she knows that there is no way to escape like this, so she simply slowed down and stopped.
The people behind them slowly close the distance with them.
Gu Yuankun frowned and drew his sword: "I'll block it, you run?" ”
"No one can be killed!" Xu Sa hurriedly warned him, his ears moved during his breath, and he pulled up Xinyu again, "Go left!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a wolf suddenly pounced on the alley on the right hand side in front of me! Together with four big men with hoes, they rushed towards them, screaming in fright, their legs weakened, and they tripped and fell to the ground.
Seeing that the wild wolf was about to pounce on them, Gu Yuankun quickly took two steps forward and kicked the wolf three feet away. When I turned around again, I saw Xu Sa hugging Xinyu horizontally!
"Yuan Kun, follow me!"
Running wildly like a desperate person, Xu Sa dodged left and right with Xinyu in his arms, and from time to time he had to look behind him to see if Gu Yuankun couldn't catch up, and finally stopped after turning into a dead end.
In the cul-de-sac in front of them, dozens of old and weak women and children were sitting or lying, all of them in tattered clothes and gray faces. Seeing Xu Sa, they were in a commotion.
Xu Sa's heart was also shocked, and then there was a sound of pursuit behind him...... Xu Sa's heart was horizontal, put down his heart jade and rushed into the crowd of women and children, grabbed a dirty little boy, took out the short dagger hidden on his body and put it across the child's neck, and pushed the person to the entrance of the alley.
"Don't move!"
As soon as the sound stopped, the crowd panicked instantly. The few strong men rushing in front of them all stopped, and the wild wolf also heard the whistle and howled, and turned in a circle.
Xiao Fang'er turned over from behind the wall, and her little face was angry: "You are still not human, and the little child will be hijacked!" ”
Xu Sa glanced at her with a straight face, and said to Gu Yuankun: "Help Xinyu up." ”
"Master......" Xinyu was pulled up by Gu Yuankun with her collar and called in a low voice.
At this time, Xu Sa was grabbed by someone behind him. She turned around and gave the man an eye knife, but saw a woman with chapped lips who was so frightened that she took two steps back, looked at the child in Xu Sa's hand with tears in her eyes, and only spoke for a long time: "Don't, don't hurt my child, madam, don't hurt my child......"
Trembling and kneeling, when she raised her eyes, her face was already full of tears, the woman wanted to stretch out her hand but didn't dare to stretch out, so she could only repeat carefully: "Madame, don't hurt my child, I, I give you my life, don't hurt him......"
The child Xu Sa was holding in his hand was already crying.
Not daring to show a trace of emotion, Xu Sa took a breath and looked at Xiaofang'er calmly: "As long as you are willing to let us go, I won't hurt this child." ”
Xiao Fang'er gritted her teeth: "You people from Longxing Mountain Villa are really too deceitful!" ”
Xu Sa was unmoved, and only asked in a cold voice: "Do you want to let it go?" ”
The crowd had hesitated to make way for them. Xu Sa looked around, and a sneer overflowed on his lips: "Miss Fang'er, I'm bothering you to send us out of this deep alley." ”
"You ......" Xiaofang'er was extremely angry, it can be seen that the child held by Xu Sa is crying more and more fiercely, and he is busy approaching two steps to comfort, "Little ghost, don't cry, my sister is here, this wicked person doesn't dare to hurt you!" ”
As he spoke, he patted the wolf's head, turned around and roared at Xu Sa: "This way!" ”
On the way out, Xu Sa had time to find that this alley was really tortuous.
Vaguely remembering what the girl who led the way in front of him said about "Longye Twelve Alleys", which is similar to the "Twelve Cities of Eastern Chu", Xu Sa asked while walking: "How can there be so many refugees in this alley?" ”
Xiao Fang'er laughed contemptuously twice: "You want to pretend to be innocent, it's useless to me." If you are really innocent, go back and ask the owners of your Longxing Villa. ”
After a pause, Xiao Fang'er looked back at her, her eyes narrowed, and her mouth pouted: "But you don't need to ask." You abominable Liao, you are like them, there is no good thing! ”
"What did the owner do wrong? Why do you hate Dragon Walk Villa so much? Xu Sa couldn't help asking, "Also, what if I'm from Liao?" I haven't done anything to you. ”
"Look at the child in your hand, where did you get the face to say this?" Xiao Fang'er pursed her lips disdainfully, and did not forget to warn, "I tell you, if you hurt this child, I guarantee that you will never have peace from now on!" ”
As if she couldn't ask for any news in her mouth, Xu Sa stopped helplessly.
If she hadn't been driven to death, she wouldn't have done anything to hold a child hostage, okay? I'm mad at her!
After a while, I finally saw a street. Although there are not many people on the street, many shops are open. Xu Sa recognized that this was Xishi, relieved his heart, let go of the little boy and gently pushed towards Xiao Fang'er: "You go over." ”
But I didn't expect the child to be so frightened that his legs were weak, and as soon as Xu Sa let go of him, he fell to the ground and continued to cry.
Xu Sa saw that the child was nothing serious, so he didn't dare to delay, and pulled Xinyu, who had recovered a little, with one hand and Gu Yuankun with the other: "Let's leave here quickly!" ”
"Master," Xinyu whispered all the way beside her as if she had lost her soul, "Master......"
"Frightened, huh?" Xu Sa smiled at her, "Don't be afraid, your master is smart!" ”
"Are you smart?"
A gloomy voice came, and Xu Sa frowned at Gu Yuankun: "Do you want to deny this fact?" ”
Snorted coldly, pulled Xu Sa's back collar to make her stand, and by the way, he turned her around, Gu Yuankun said, "Go in!" ”
Xu Sa looked up and found that they had unconsciously walked to the side of a rather large medical hall.
Coincidentally, this medical center is the "Zhou's Medical Center" she has been to.
"What am I going to do in there?" Xu Sa looked inexplicable, "You don't know Dr. Zhou, right?" ”
"I don't know." Gu Yuankun pursed his lips and raised his hand to pull the clothes on her left shoulder, "I only know bloodstains." ”
Xu Sa: "......"
Gu Yuankun didn't say anything, she hadn't noticed that her left shoulder, which had already been scabbed, was faintly overflowing with blood. Originally, she only felt a little pain, and thought it was the cause of the injury.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Xu Sa raised his feet and entered the Zhou Medical Hall.
It was rare that there was no one in the medical hall, and Dr. Zhou was standing on the edge of the medicine box behind the counter, and the medicine boy recognized Xu Sa with sharp eyes: "Mrs. Zhuang Owner!" ”
Doctor Zhou found Xu Sa in a hurry, but he looked at Xu Sa carefully before asking cautiously: "Mrs. Zhuang?" ”
"It's me." Xu Sa's head.
Doctor Zhou was taken aback: "Have you really recovered your words?" ”
"It's not a big deal." Xu Sa said with a calm and calm attitude, "I'm tired of Dr. Zhou, let's take a look at the injury first." ”
As she spoke, she gestured to her left shoulder.
When Dr. Zhou saw her injury, he panicked even more, turned around and called a medical woman, and took Xu Sa to the inner hall to apply medicine and bandage. When Xu Sa's wound was treated and he came out, he hurriedly asked, "Was the owner's wife injured in Lane 12?" ”
“…… Not really, it's just that some old injuries have been accidentally pulled. ”
Xu Sa thought about it, chose to avoid the important and trivial, and asked Dr. Zhou: "I saw you in a hurry today, but what happened?" ”
Doctor Zhou opened his mouth, and after a pause in his words, he shook his head and said, "Presumably, Madame has just come here, and she doesn't know that the place you passed by is called Longye Twelve Lane." It was full of beggars from Longye City. A few days ago, Chudi was hit by a natural disaster, and many Chongzhou refugees fled to Longye, and they were taken in by the beggar leader of the 12th lane. ”
Are those people refugees? Xu Sa frowned: "There are refugees coming...... Didn't the Longye government take care of it? ”
"If the people in the government want to take care of it, they can only ...... at most" Doctor Zhou sighed, and couldn't bear to wipe his neck.
Xu Sa's heart tightened.
"How can they do this!?"
After a pause, realizing that he had lost his demeanor, Xu Sa quickly restrained himself a little, pursed his lips and said, "If the local government does this...... Changliao has long been in chaos, and their approach is really inappropriate. ”
"Zhou had only heard that he had seen a refugee injured today, so he went into the alley to help treat the injury, but he almost never returned." Doctor Zhou sighed, "Fortunately, Mrs. didn't have a major incident, otherwise Zhou would have regretted it for a while because he only cared about fleeing for his life." ”
Xu Sa smiled reluctantly: "Doctor Zhou is serious. ”
Looking at the sky again, she pulled her hand into her sleeve and said, "It's been a while since I came out, Xu Sa should go back to the villa." ”
"Madame, wait!" Doctor Zhou hurriedly stopped her movements, "It's just a wound, if Zhou still wants to accept his wife's money, how will he face the big owner in the future?" ”
After that, Dr. Zhou even ordered the medicine boy to prepare the carriage in the medical hall for Xu Sa: "Madame thinks she came on foot, since she is injured, it is safer to take the carriage back." ”
"Then thank you Dr. Zhou for your kindness." Xu Sa smiled and nodded at him, but he didn't refuse, and took Xinyu into the carriage of the Zhou Medical Hall.
Gu Yuankun sat on the wheel as usual.
"Master," Xin Yu said with a flat mouth after entering the carriage, "If you hadn't rescued the slave and maid, you wouldn't have pulled the wound." ”
"It's just a small thing, don't worry about it." Xu Sa waved his hand.
Xinyu shook her head with red eyes: "It's so dangerous, without your urgency, I'm afraid the slave and maid won't be able to get out of that winding alley...... Slaves really can't help you at all, they only add to the chaos. ”
"I said you don't have to be afraid, in the wind and rain, the master protects you!" Xu Sa pinched Xinyu's face.
Inadvertently, I heard a sneer outside.
Xu Sa twisted his eyebrows and raised the side curtains.
"What do you do?" Looking back at her expressionlessly, Gu Yuankun said, "If you're injured, sit down." ”
The fox shrank back suspiciously, Xu Sa held his side face and pursed his lips.
Then I heard someone murmuring outside, "His ears are like a dog." ”
Xu Sa: "......"
Rebels!
Although it was a good thing to escape, the process was really not very glorious. If it weren't for the child standing at that time, who was closest to her, Xu Sa would never threaten people with a child.
After calming down and thinking about it, Xu Sa's mood was even heavier than when he went out.
She never knew that there was a Lane 12 in Longye City, and the Lane 12 would be like that.
The carriage drove directly to the main entrance. Xu Sa was embarrassed to go around the side door again, so he walked out with someone.
Fortunately, she tidied up her gauge a little while she was in the carriage. However, when she walked into Longxing Villa, she was still a little apprehensive, after all, she went out and came back without saying a word before, but there was no good result, and every time the owner of Fu Dazhuang didn't give her a good look.
However, this time, it wasn't until she returned to Tingfeng Pavilion that she whispered two sentences after the subordinates of the villa on the road saluted her, and she was able to speak, and the superfluous situation did not happen at all, which made her a little uncomfortable: "Xinyu, do you think I should take the initiative to ask?" ”
"Huh?" Xinyu had just come back from fetching water for her, and she was stunned when she heard the words, "Master, what do you want to ask?" ”
Taking the handkerchief that wrung out the water, Xu Sa wiped his face, spat out and said, "Didn't Fu Rushen say that he asked Hengyuan to send me the Zhuang rules booklet in the afternoon?" It's almost dinner. ”
Xinyu shook her head: "The slave doesn't know about this." But if you're in a hurry, it's better for the slave to run to the main building for you. You take a break. ”
"It's fine."
The wound was not serious, but it was painful. Xu Sa changed into dry clothes and took a picture of the bronze mirror before sitting back at the table to drink tea and rest.
However, it is easy to be cranky when you stay alone. At first, she was still curious about where Gu Yuankun sent the letter, but she didn't know how to think about it again, and the target switched to Master Fu again.
So he wouldn't know she had been out yet, would he? I didn't pay attention to it at this moment, it didn't look like his style, huh? What did that guy do, didn't he...... Still in the clouds?
The mood was very depressed, Xu Sa habitually circled around the house like a sleepy beast...... After a long time, Xinyu didn't come back, so she simply pushed the door open.
"Yuan Kun, if Xinyu comes back alone in a while, you can tell her, I'll go out for a while, so she doesn't have to worry."
The person who was instructed by her frowned: "You just came back, where are you going?" ”
Xu Sa said: "I'll just go out and take a walk." ”
"Because of Fu Rushen?"
"No," Xu Sa smiled and waved his hand, "It's because ......"
"Is he important enough to you?"
“……”
In a panic, Xu Sa hurriedly said: "No, I'm just a little uncomfortable because of those things during the day." ”
Gu Yuankun stared at her for a long time, then lowered his eyes, and his gaze fell on her left shoulder.
"I don't ask for much, you don't want to hide it from me. Then, if you hit the wall like blind again, I can stop you. ”
“…… Yuan Kun, "
"It's okay."
The door to the outer wing was shut, and not even a crack was visible in the window. Xu Sa stood at the door for a while, rubbing his forehead with a smile.
Her apprentices...... It looks like an ice lump, and his mind is quite sensitive.
