Chapter 123: Prescient
"Take it, uncle, don't worry, although we don't have any extra money on us;
But my brother has an estate in Taiyuan Prefecture, as long as he goes out of the mountains and enters Pu County, and hires a carriage tomorrow, he can easily go back......"
While being moved in his heart, Liu Huayun opened his mouth and said.
"Okay, wait a minute, two sons...... Wife, quickly take out the quilt prepared for the girl, and prepare more water bladders and dry food for the two sons. ”
Six taels of silver, what is the concept? That's a year's expense for a poor family like Old Man Sun.
Since the other party said so, the old man Sun, who returned to the back room, held the silver eyebrows and smiled to his wife.
"Old man, are they really a shipwrecked caravan?"
Glancing outside, and then at the room where the youngest daughter was, the woman asked suspiciously.
"Why do you care so much, anyway, the sons don't stay at home, give them the quilt that the girl used to marry, and with the silver two, let's go outside the mountain tomorrow to do it......"
"Yes, I listen to your old man."
In these years, the small mountain village organized a wedding, and the cost was about ten taels of silver, and a bed of bedding and coarse grain flatbread was not worth one or two silver.
The other party gave six taels, speaking of which they can be regarded as fortune from heaven, if it weren't for the Hong'er girl, who had been promised to Wang Gang, a young man from the neighboring village, the woman really had the intention of leaving them and matching her daughter to marry into a wealthy family.
"Uncle Sun, aunt, let's meet again!"
Soon, Liu Huayun carried a rolled futon on his back, He Jin took a water bladder and flatbread, and the two said goodbye to Old Man Sun and his wife, went out of Sunjia Village, and pointed them out of the road to Puxian and the nearest mountain road.
"Uncle Sun, who are they?"
Liu Huayun and He Jin, the two uninvited guests, entered and left the village, causing the dogs to bark constantly, which alarmed the people of Sunjia Village;
Looking at their departing backs, a man in his thirties asked Old Man Sun curiously.
"Second baby, we don't know very well, the two sons said that they were in distress on a business trip, so they casually bought some food and left the bed;
Forget it, no matter what happens to them, it's not a peaceful year, if it doesn't work, you young people should organize it and take turns to fight in case it ......"
"Okay, uncle, don't worry......"
The voice behind him became quieter and quieter, and after leaving the small mountain village for a long distance, Liu Huayun suddenly turned back and headed towards the thorny mountain peak again.
"Huayun, let's not go outside, do we really want to spend the night in the mountains?"
Seeing Liu Huayun walking quickly in the opposite direction pointed out by the old man, He Jin asked in confusion.
"Jin'er, we can't leave the mountain tonight, otherwise we will be in danger of falling into the hands of thieves again......"
Liu Huayun smiled bitterly, but the pace under his feet did not stop.
"Huayun, are you too careful, those damn thieves, dare to arrest us blatantly?"
followed him to climb into the mountains and forests in the distance for a while, and under the moonlight, He Jin's sideburns were sweaty, and his delicate body was panting.
It's just that half an hour later, as soon as she climbed the hill in front of her, she looked back with a great change in her face.
But I saw that on the mountain road leading from the small village to the outside world under the moonlight, a team of horses and mules of more than a dozen people was galloping towards Sunjia Village.
Due to the blur of the night, it is difficult to see clearly from a distance, but both of them can be sure that this is definitely not their own guard, and it is very likely that it is the thieves of Qin Surou and his gang.
If it weren't for Liu Huayun's foresight, he left the mountain road in advance and took refuge in the opposite mountain, it was really possible to be blocked by the other party.
"Jin'er, don't look at it, let's go!"
Although this place is five or six miles away from Sunjia Village, and there are trees and rocks to cover it, Liu Huayun, who only has a firearm and a few bullets on his body, still does not dare to be careless.
As for the safety of Old Man Sun's wife and the people of Sunjia Village, he doesn't have to worry about it at all;
After all, although Qin Surou and the others are traitors who kill people without blinking, they are not horse bandits after all, as long as Old Man Sun confesses his whereabouts, his life will not be in danger.
"Huayun, it's good to have you."
At this moment, He Jin no longer had any objection to hiding in the mountains farther away, and when he thought of him saying that he wanted to be his solid support, he couldn't help but feel a burst of sweetness in his heart.
"Who are you?"
"Don't talk nonsense, be honest, have there been two strange men in your village tonight, and whose house do they live in?"
Not long after Old Man Sun and his wife fell asleep, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the courtyard gate, followed by a burst of chickens flying and dogs jumping, horses neighing and donkeys barking.
Soon, several of his sons and nephews who knew the inside story couldn't resist the coercion and temptation of the other party, and told the matter as it was.
Of course, Zou Tai, Qin Surou and others, who were not at ease, called Old Man Sun up again, and in the frightened cry of his youngest daughter Sun Hong, several Vasher were searched before riding away.
Fortunately, the people in Sunjia Village were very cooperative, and they were in a hurry to leave, so they did not hurt the innocent.
In order to catch Liu Huayun and the crown prince He Jin as soon as possible, they had just entered the secret contact point in Ji County, except for Yin Chuanling, who was seriously injured, and left Shanxi by car first;
All the people in the contact point came to this area to search one by one according to Zou Tai's instructions.
Sunjia Village was the third small mountain village they searched, and judging from the mules that had made up the numbers, it was clear how hurried they had set out, otherwise they would not have come so quickly.
"Zou Tai, you are familiar with this area, where do you say they will hide?"
Qin Surou knew that Liu Huayun was thoughtful and not so easy to deal with, and after leaving Sunjia Village for a few miles, she grabbed the horse and asked with a slight frown.
"Miss Qin, that kid left more than half an hour ago, according to the time calculation, he should be in Liangban Village outside the mountain, or Huailou Village, or just hide on that section of the hillside......"
Zou Tai thought for a moment and looked uncertainly at the hillside in front of him.
According to common sense, the crown prince He Jin is pampered and a daughter, and Liu Huayun should not let her sleep in the mountains and forests anyway, but they bought a futon, which is unusual.
"They didn't live in Sunjia Village, and with that kid's cunning, they would never stay in a village outside the mountains;
Just now, I should have heard the sound of horses' hooves and hid in the mountains and forests, so everyone dismounted and immediately went to the mountains to search......."
The corners of Qin Surou's mouth flashed with a hint of coldness, and she waved her hand to Zou Tai and the others.
More than a dozen people did not dare to slack off, hurriedly jumped off the mules and horses according to the words, and quickly dispersed and ran up the hillside.
Click, click, with the swing of the blade in their hands, the thorns blocking the front were quickly cut off, but the expected prince He Jin and the two never had a trace of shadow.
嗷~~号~~号~~Woo~
After crossing another mountain, he heard a few low wolf howls from the high mountains in front of him, and He Jin, who was drenched in sweat, immediately looked at Liu Huayun with a pale face.
"It's almost Jin'er, let's find a place to eat some dry food, sleep well, and we should be able to wait for reinforcements tomorrow ......"
This place is more than ten miles away from Sunjia Village, and Liu Huayun is sure that as long as they find a secret cave to hide, they will not be able to find their own.
"Hmm~~"
He Jin hummed softly, and the two slowed down and began to search the mountain wall in front of them.
