Chapter 48: The Sound of Wind and Rain in the Night (3)
Wang's manor was not built in Huiji City, but was closer to the lower county in the county, but it also belonged to Shanyin County. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It was getting late, and the already dark environment was covered by dark clouds, and the stars and moon seemed to have lost their light, and the whole canopy turned into a dirty black curtain, and the wind blew, and then the rain fell.
When spring and summer intersect, the rain also becomes full, no longer a drizzle, hitting people, and a chill invades.
Xie Daoyun and He Shi came to visit Wang Ningzhi and drove two ox carts, and now the big house and the second room are each on an ox cart, Qing'e followed to take care of Wang Xuanzhi, and Chen Quan's two guards were originally following on the side, but after it rained, they could only sit in front and squeeze together with the people who drove the car. Fortunately, the ox cart was calm and powerful, and even on the slippery mud ground, there would be no stumbling, and although the speed became very slow, they were still a lot more relieved.
Inside the car, although the curtain is lowered, it is not tight, and when the wind blows, it will be lifted into a small opening, which is a little cool.
The more difficult the environment, the slower it feels like time flies, along the way Wang Ningzhi and Xie Daoyun said something that was not nutritious, but most of them were Wang Ningzhi talking, picking out some of his previous arrangements to talk about, interspersed with some small stories, these small stories were told in the classroom in the past, but after all, they were the color of the future generations, and they also wanted to be fresh when they said it, just chatting like this, and they heard the rain outside.
First in the corner of the curtain, Wang Ningzhi wanted to look outside, he couldn't really see it in a drowsy state, but he could also see the general situation next to the car, mostly a mixture of groves and farmland.
Just watching, the wind blew, hit him in the face, and then got into the carriage, he just turned around, and saw Xie Daoyun, who was thinly dressed, hugging his body tightly, shrinking in the corner, and looking a little pitiful, when he saw him, he frowned: "You close the curtain." ”
Wang Ningzhi had no choice but to put down the curtain of the car, searched around, found something that he didn't know for any purpose to hold the curtain against it, and then smiled at Xie Daoyun: "When I came out today, it didn't look like it was going to rain, but I never thought it would get up on the way home." ”
"Hmm." Xie Daoyun responded casually, his eyes wandered away from Wang Ningzhi's body, his expression was a little longing and a little worried, as if he was thinking about things, but his body shrank slightly, and even trembled a little.
"Come here." Wang Ningzhi stretched out his hands and motioned for Xie Daoyun to sit down.
Xie Daoyun immediately turned his head to look away: "What did you do in the past?" ”
"Didn't I tell you, it was estimated that it was a good weather this morning, so I was only wearing very thin clothes, and now it's a little cold, but speaking of which, isn't it your fault for being a lady that I look like now?" Wang Ningzhi said with a smile, "So now in order to make up for your mistakes, I will reluctantly hug you to keep warm." ”
"You don't wear more clothes, how can it be my fault?" Grinding and grinding, but still slowly got into Wang Ningzhi's arms, his small body was wrapped in a big clothes and buried in his arms, Xie Daoyun's little face was a little red, and while dealing with Wang Ningzhi, he greedily felt this warmth.
Holding his wife in his arms, Wang Ningzhi smiled: "Shouldn't a man's clothes be sorted out by his wife...... Or is it that every time the clothes are washed by Huan'er or Qing'e, but my delicate lady has never washed them? ”
"I ...... I do not know! Xie Daoyun twisted his body slightly, "Don't say it." ”
"Okay, let's not talk about it, if you're tired, take a nap, and I'll wake you up before I get home." Looking at his wife, Wang Ningzhi said softly, and after getting a whispered promise, he also closed his eyes and enjoyed this warmth.
It's just that compared to Xie Daoyun, who became a little woman in front of his husband, it is impossible for him to sleep after all, although it is confirmed that Xu Shen has been arrested, but for him, the matter does not mean the end, besides, for some reason, after coming out of the county guard's mansion, he has been a little flustered, this is a rare situation, he had this feeling before his sudden death in his previous life, and now there is an inexplicable panic - he will not wear it back, right?
He thought so, made a question that could not have an answer, listened to the "click" sound of raindrops falling on the canopy overhead, and thought about the problem a little distractedly, until he felt that the curtain in front of him was suddenly lifted, and a large cool breeze mixed with raindrops blew in, which instantly woke him and Xie Daoyun up.
"Erlang! Someone chased after him. Chen Quan was in front, he pointed to the back, and said with some surprise.
Xie Daoyun immediately got out of his embrace, asked Wang Ningzhi to move forward, came to the entrance of the carriage, and looked back: a few torches flickered in the dark night rain behind him, and with the flickering light, he could roughly see a group of people running towards this side.
"Who...... They were armed with them. He saw a cold glow, the silver-white light was different from the color of the torches, and it was full of murderous aura, "The direction is the direction of the county town, but it's not like the soldiers of the county guard's mansion." ”
"Hasn't Xu Shen been arrested?" Xie Daoyun said.
Wang Ningzhi's face darkened: "Maybe someone rescued me...... Anyway, on such a rainy night, a group of people with swords were chasing after them, and it was not safe to look at it, so they leaned on the side of the car, and if the person who came was not good, they gave up the car...... This ox cart is too slow. ”
Chen Quan got out of the car and informed the big house in front of him, and soon the two ox carts stopped, close to the side of the road, and next to it was a small forest that was not too big...... Because they didn't bring rain gear, everyone was drenched in the rain, and although Wang Xuanzhi and He were extremely fragile, they still didn't talk nonsense.
Holding their breath, a group of nine people extinguished the torches, silently in the rain, close to the grove, if they did not get close, it would be difficult to be spotted, they stared at the torches in the distance, and watched the torches gradually get closer.
A group of people stepped on the muddy ground, occasionally stepping on a small puddle, and making a crackling sound.
Because of Wang Ningzhi's location, it was not easy to be discovered, but when the group of people approached, the two cows were startled, so that the carriage moved a few times, making a creaking sound. In normal times, such a sound is easy to be overlooked, but now that everyone is nervous, such a sound is a bit abrupt.
Sure enough, as soon as the voice was remembered, a few torches flashed here, and then someone shouted: "This is the pair of brothers of the Wang family!" ”
"Oh no, run!" Wang Ningzhi, who had been paying close attention, heard the tone over there, his face changed, and he turned around and pulled Xie Daoyun beside him and beckoned people to run in the grove, and as soon as he moved, Wang Xuanzhi's side also ran into the grove, leaving Chen Quan and them to delay behind.
The torch was still crackling in the rain, Wang Ning ran away, and the group of people who were tracking also woke up: "Chase!" ”
The path in the grove is even more difficult to walk, and if you are not careful, you will be scratched, Wang Ningzhi grabbed Xie Daoyun and walked in the front, but he also took care of Wang Xuanzhi and them, walking as slowly as possible to not let them fall behind...... Further behind them were the four guards, whose training had paid off, and who were also on the run, causing trouble for their pursuers as they ran.
Wang Ningzhi squinted, judging the direction while running, the rain went down the corner of his eyes, obscuring his vision, he could only stretch out his hand to wipe a handful of sticky rainwater, looking back, the torch was getting closer and closer, Wang Xuanzhi behind him was even more out of breath, mixed with a violent and fine cough, and even He and Qing'e ran slowly.
"It's not the way to go." He said as he ran, opened his mouth, and the wind mixed with the rain whirred into it, and when he caught the cold, he suddenly stopped and let Xie Daoyun crash into him.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a river ahead." Because of the darkness and the cover of the rain, he couldn't really see it, but he also clearly heard the sound of the rain falling on the water in front of him, "If we can't run away in this way, even if we wade through the water, we will be chased and killed!" ”
Wang Xuanzhi coughed violently, and was helped by He Shi to come to Wang Ningzhi's side, panting and saying, "Let's go...... I can only hold you back, why don't you go forward and I'll lead them away. ”
"How can this work?" Without waiting for the others to speak, Wang Ningzhi took the lead in refusing, staring at the crumbling man, "Where can you lead them to?" I'm not in good health, I'm sure I'll get caught-okay, the river isn't too deep, you go over it, be careful, I'll go back and have a look." ”
"Lang Jun ......" Xie Daoyun grabbed his hand and didn't let go.
"Obedient, hurry up, I'll be fine, besides, I can't lead them all away alone, I can only help you drag them as much as possible, remember, after confirming that it is safe, don't go home, go to the county town to find Yu Fu, and let him take someone to the house." He broke free of his wife's hand with all his might, and at this time, he didn't care about pity and cherishing the jade, and didn't care whether they agreed or not, he turned around and ran back, leaving them looking at each other.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and with the cool breeze, occasionally small trees could not be destroyed and suddenly break, which was still abrupt in the rainy night.
He apologized: "Ling Jiang ......"
"No problem...... Listen to Jiro's words, let's hurry up. After only a moment's hesitation, Xie Daoyun turned around and took the lead towards the river.
……
Even if the four guards have been trained, they cannot be the opponents of a group of people, and on the way to the chase, they were dispersed, maybe injured, or killed, in short, when Wang Ningzhi turned around and approached the direction of the torch, Chen Quan and them could no longer be seen.
Perhaps he had experienced death, he was not too panicked, and slowly approached, only to find that there were not many people chasing them, about ten or so, and after the distance was about the same, he shouted, and then turned and ran in the other direction.
"Over there!" The chaser confirmed his position and yelled, and then a group of people rushed over, the sound of trampling muddy water, mixed with the sound of the grass and trees scratching, in addition to confirming the direction, they did not shout and scream, but chased silently behind, fast and full of oppression.
Because of a person, Wang Ningzhi is much more flexible than with people, coupled with factors such as rain, dark night, and complicated vegetation, it is not easy to catch up after several tosses.
