[Ask for recommendation, ask for collection]
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
It was late at night when I left the cave, and although the rain was much lighter than during the day, there was no sign of stopping. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Along the way, we didn't meet any of the samurai who came to search, and as we passed by the hut on the hillside, Kaori couldn't help but shed tears.
Kao Lie grew up in Cang'er Mountain, and was very familiar with every grass and tree here, so he took me around the mountains and forests, and when we came to the vicinity of the checkpoint at the mountain pass, we learned that the officers and soldiers who were originally stationed here had been withdrawn, and it seemed that Wu Qi had given up on the search for me.
Corlie carefully observed the situation around and was sure that there was nothing suspicious, so he walked with me on the main road. Because we were worried that Lu Yihong would be in danger, Kaoli and I didn't dare to make any stops, and rushed to Zhuji City all the time.
When I came to Zhuji City, I only saw that the city gate was closed, and the two dim lights in front of the door were swaying in the wind and rain.
Kaoli looked up at the dark sky and said in a low voice: "The gate of Zhuji City is closed, even if we rush over, we won't be in a hurry, and we will not be able to enter the city until tomorrow morning at the earliest." ”
I frowned, it is not easy to enter Zhuji City, almost everyone recognizes my appearance, as long as I approach the gate of Zhuji City, many people will know that my tortoise is back.
The heavy rain cooled the hot blood in my body, and my fanatical mind came back to reason, although Zhuji City is not big, but the soldiers defending the city are also about five hundred, and the strength of our people alone is still a little weak to compete with Wu Qi's men, before I meet Lu Yihong, it is best not to expose my identity easily.
A cart slowly walked in the direction of the city gate in the wind and rain, and when it came to the city gate, it saw a crack in the city gate, and the cart smoothly entered the city of Zhuji.
I asked Kaoli in surprise, "Didn't you say that the city gate was closed, why could he go in?" ”
Kaoli whispered, "He's a farmer who pours night incense!" ”
"Pour night incense?" I hadn't heard of that term and repeated it a little strangely.
Kaoli patiently explained to me, "It's just to collect the dung before dawn!" ”
Only then did I understand that the so-called poured night incense is to dig the toilet, and the ancients used words to be really elegant, and the night fragrance and dung can be equated.
In the distance, another cart came slowly, it seemed that the dung was still in demand, and the people got up early to compete for the best and only fertilizer in this era.
I whispered a few words to Kaoli, who nodded again and again, and quietly greeted the old farmer with the cart.
Soon I saw Kaoli pushing a dung cart in front of me, and I walked over happily, it was really 'the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village', I didn't think that even God would help me.
I put on my hat, grabbed the dirt from the ground and wiped it on my face, and we hid our weapons at the bottom of the dung cart before we pushed the dung cart with Kaori towards the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the gate slowly opened the city gate, and we wanted to push the dung truck forward, but they held it against it with the tip of their spears and scolded viciously: "Damn, forgot the rules? ”
Kaoli didn't understand what they meant, but I understood, grabbed a few copper coins and handed them over.
"Throw it down, throw it down, grandma's, get out of here, don't stink my territory!" The two greedy soldiers cursed.
Kaoli and I hurriedly lowered our heads and pushed the dung truck into the city, damn, I didn't expect that there would be people eating kickbacks in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they ate kickbacks of dung in an extremely excessive way.
Kaoli and I pushed the dung truck to the location of the Liuxiang Temple, the nightlife of people in the spring and autumn was really monotonous, the whole city was dark everywhere, the drainage facilities in Zhuji City were not very good, many places in the streets and alleys had stagnant water, if it wasn't for the use of the dung truck to hide our identity, I would have thrown it aside.
When the dung truck approached the Liuxiang Temple, we saw a faint light in the Liuxiang Temple, and we just wanted to get closer, but we heard a majestic voice shouting angrily: "What person? ”
Kaoli hurriedly replied alertly: "Pour the night incense!" ”
The three samurai walked out of the dark corner and said angrily: "You dare to ask for the **** night incense, aren't you afraid that there will be no harvest if you pour it?" Get out of here! ”
Kaoli and I nodded and retreated backwards, only then did I notice that there were a lot of soldiers ambushed around the Liuxiang Temple, and an extremely ominous feeling enveloped my heart, it seemed that Lu Yihong was already more than lucky.
Chun Ge said in a low voice: "You're late, now I'm afraid she's dead." ”
If it weren't for Kaoli's presence, I would have taken out the pervert note and pulled it to smash it, this nasty guy, which sentence is the most annoying, he would have said whichever sentence.
Kaoli and I walked out of the alley where the Liuxiang Courtyard was located, and Kao Lie said in a low voice: "What should I do?" ”
I took out the tip of the hammer and said, "I'm afraid I have to go to Xu Laosan!" ”
Xu Ji blacksmith shop is located at the other end of Zhuji City, to my surprise, although the sky is not bright, the blacksmith shop fire has been burning, a tall middle-aged man standing shirtless in front of the fire, while drinking the wine in the bowl, while adding firewood to the fire.
Seeing us pushing a dung truck past him, the man couldn't help frowning, and said in a rough voice: "You pushed a dung truck to my door early in the morning to find someone who is unlucky?" ”
I took off my hat and strode over to him: "Xu Laosan! ”
The man's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Lu Xiaogui, it turned out to be you, a little rabbit cub, are the bones on your body itchy again?" How dare you call me Lao Tzu? This is tantamount to acknowledging his own identity.
I smiled and held out my hand, the tip of the hammer glistening in the light of the fire.
Xu Laosan was slightly stunned, his eyes were condensed on the tip of the arrow, and his broad lips trembled.
His thick fingers picked up the tip of the hammer from my palm, and he observed it for a long time before he said, "Who gave it to you?" ”
I whispered, "I want you to do something for me!" ”
Xu Laosan looked at me and said coldly: "Lu Xiaogui, although I look down on your character, but what I Xu Laosan said will never change, as long as I take this arrowhead tip, I will agree to any of his requests!" He looked at me with fierce eyes: "Don't force me to do bad things, otherwise, I will definitely kill you with my own hands in the future!" ”
I looked at him without fear: "Follow me to rescue my mother!" ”
Xu Laosan looked at me in surprise, he didn't seem to expect me to make such a request, it took a long time to come back to his senses, nodded and said, "How to save it?" ”
I cried out with some anger, "If I knew how to save it, I would still come to you?" ”
Xu Laosan laughed, he drank the wine in the bowl and said, "Lu Xiaogui, it turns out that you are also a little cute." He threw the wine bowl into the fire, grabbed the sledgehammer on the side and said, "Go!" ”
I was stunned and said, "Are you going to save it like this?" ”
Xu Laosan rolled his eyes: "There are a total of twenty warriors in ambush around the Liuxiang Courtyard, how can you save your mother if you don't kill them?" ”
At this time, I began to re-examine Xu Laosan in front of me, it seems that he is a hidden master nine times out of ten, maybe opening a blacksmith shop here is just an illusion, and it is not an accident that he got up early today, otherwise how could he know so clearly about the situation in the Liuxiang Academy?
Kaoli was full of confusion and said, "Will we startle the snake if we break in like this?" ”
Xu Laosan sneered: "It's really stupid, of course it will startle the snake if you break in like this, not to mention that Lu Yihong is not in the Liuxiang Courtyard at all." ”
I was shocked, I really found the right person when I came to Xu Laosan this time.
Xu Laosan said: "Wu Qi invited her to the City Guard Mansion this afternoon, and she is still trapped there!" ”
He strode out the door, and Kaoli and I hurriedly followed with a dung cart.
Xu Laosan said angrily: "What are you still pushing the dung truck of Naraush? Do you want to smoke me to death before you are willing? ”
Kao Lie and I took out the bronze sword from under the car and followed Xu Laosan one left and one right.
Xu Laosan smiled and said, "Do you know why she asked you to come to me?" ”
I shook my head, but secretly thought in my heart, could it be that Xu Laosan is Zhou Fengdie's old friend? Or did you owe Zhou Fengdie prostitution money in the past?
