635. 634 There is a mother, and there is a daughter
"Lin Ling'er!"
He suddenly shouted, and all the people kneeling on the ground trembled, not only their bodies trembled, but their hearts trembled even more, thinking that he would be out of control like an angry beast, but he just suppressed his temper, lowered his volume, and said patiently,
"Qiqi, I'll look for you, all you need to do is be patient and don't do anything to hurt yourself."
"Hurt yourself? If I hurt myself, I can get my Qiqi back, and I'd rather hurt myself to the core! ”
Her eyes were red, and she pointed to the guards on the ground,
"Come and tie me up and hang me, do you hear?"
Just as she spoke, she saw Tuoba Jiuxiao approaching her, and she stepped back vigilantly,
"Don't try to treat me like last night, don't try to imprison me, don't try to lock me up! I know that you are the king here, and they will not listen to me...... Okay, I'm not hanging, I'm going to go out and look for it myself, I'm going to go out to find my Qiqi by myself, she must be waiting for me somewhere, she must be waiting for me to save her......"
Speaking of this, she suddenly froze, and listened motionless for a while before she said,
"Listen, she's calling me, she's calling Mommy, she says she's scared, she says she misses Mommy so much, she needs me, I'm going to find her, go ...... now"
Looking at her, Tuoba Jiuxiao couldn't help crying in the end, and his heart twitched in distress, for his daughter, for her.
Ignoring everything in front of her, she ran past him, past everyone, ran down the city defenses, and ran out of the noon gate.
"The lord of the country, the master is ......"
Xiaoyingzi was dumbfounded, is the master really crazy?
Qian Ye, who had been standing behind Tuoba Jiuxiao, wiped his tears vigorously, and said busily when he saw this:
"The lord of the country, the slave will send someone to follow the master, don't worry."
Qian Ye went down to the city defense, and Xiao Yingzi then ran down and chased after Lin Ling'er.
Tuoba Jiuxiao stood on the city defense, looking at Lin Ling'er, who pounced on the child to confirm as soon as he saw it, and burst into tears.
He won't lock her up anymore, let her do whatever she wants, as long as it makes her feel better, except to leave him.
All day long, Lin Ling'er was not dripping, the people in the dead camp had been secretly protecting her, Xiao Yingzi was close behind, he was also watching her from afar, watching her look for Qiqi step by step, watching her walk slower and slower, watching her stagger, watching her faint to the ground.
In the end, he picked up the exhausted her, walked back to the palace step by step, and put her on the bed in Jingci Palace with his own hands.
She's too tired, but that's fine, if the tiredness of her body can take away the pain in her heart, then let her be tired like this.
He helped her take off her shoes, and a pair of beautiful jade feet were now covered with blood blisters, how she had walked the day with those feet!
He put the bath water in his arms, soaked her in the hot water, helped her wash her face, helped her relieve the discomfort of the day, called the imperial doctor to help her treat her foot injury, gave her acupuncture, massage, everything he could do when she was asleep, he helped her do it.
He couldn't stop her, so he was her strongest backing.
The next day, Lin Ling'er fell as soon as she got up, and the pain in her foot made her unable to stand up.
Xiao Yingzi was so distressed that she burst into tears, but she didn't dare to let her see it, so she helped her to the table and sat down, she said:
"Master, eat something, you didn't eat for a day yesterday, and your body won't be able to stand it if you go on like this."
Xiao Yingzi's kind words and persuasion were ignored again, Lin Ling'er stood up and limped to the door, she seemed to be out of reality, she didn't know the pain, she didn't communicate with the people around her, and she only had one person and one thing in her heart, that is, Qiqi.
For so many days, Xiao Zhengzi has been so guilty that he didn't dare to see her, that night, Qiqi slept with him, and he even had the heart to die.
But when he heard about Lin Ling'er, he couldn't hide anymore, Lin Ling'er opened the door and saw him standing at the door, but she bumped into him as if she hadn't seen it, and continued to walk out.
"Master, you can eat something, if you don't eat, how can you have the strength to continue looking for Qiqi?"
His voice was crying, thinking that this reason could move Lin Ling'er, but she didn't stop, still stubbornly walking her own way.
In just two days, her already petite body seemed to have lost a whole circle, so thin that a gust of wind could blow her down.
Dragging such a body, three days of water was not exhausted, relying on a pair of feet covered with blood blisters, she walked all over the streets and alleys of Jintan City, rummaged through every household, and finally fell ill.
Standing in front of the bed and looking at her unconscious, Xiao took a deep breath, he didn't know whether this connivance was right or wrong, but he knew that he could finally hug her.
Lying beside her, hugging her into her arms, after a few days of work, she was already skinny and bone-like, as if she would break with a little effort.
Ling'er, give me a little time, and give yourself a little time, okay? Don't let yourself work so hard, Qiqi will not come back because of your hard work, Nangong will never give up revenge because of your hard work, your hard work will not only make my heart ache, but in the end it is just a means to paralyze yourself.
Enough, enough.
It has been a few days since the caravan from the Western Regions set out from Jintan, and although they have experienced the unpleasantness given by Tuoba Jiuxiao when they leave, they are still somewhat balanced after taking the silver ticket.
The team of dozens of people sat in several carriages, and the bearded and mustachioed people each rode a horse, which was the treatment only of the captain.
The white procession marched mightily along the road to the west, and their goal was clear: to return to their old jobs and carry goods for the merchants.
The bearded man observed the movement around him, and said to the mustache:
"It's strange, how many checkpoints did you say we passed along the way, and many of them seemed to be added temporarily, what happened to make the atmosphere so tense?"
The mustache said:
"I guess it's used to catch fugitives, you don't care what it does, as long as it doesn't affect us to go back to business."
"Speaking of business......
The bearded man looked around as he spoke, as if he was looking for someone.
"You said it's been so many days, why hasn't that guy shown up that night? We can't be deceived by him, right? ”
"Cut, lie? Brother, didn't you get the money? Since taking the money is not called cheating, it is called a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer. ”
The mustache patted the bearded man's chest,
"Besides, what if he doesn't show up? Are you still afraid that we will have no business to do? Not to mention anything else, just because we have helped Lanyi transport the goods for three years without any accidents, this will make those merchants flock to it. ”
There was a smug look in the mustache's eyes.
The bearded man nodded, and said thoughtfully:
"I really have to admire this little girl, what do you say she is from? From the lord of the country to the sand bandits, they all offered her as a bodhisattva, and then again, we have all been blessed by her all these years! ”
"yes, I have to admit that."
The mustache sighed,
"But in the future, she will not be our owner, although she can still use her banner in the future, but we still have to be careful!"
Bearded Certification Nods:
"I hope that the person will appear again that night, no matter what you say, he is rich, not to mention that I see that he talks extraordinary, he should not be a mortal, follow him, maybe we can make a lot of money."
The mustache looked at him, and the two laughed in unison:
"I just don't know where that person is now, and if he will appear again!"
As the words fell, a man in the team with a white cloth covering his face raised his head, and an evil light flashed in his elite eyes.
"There's a town up ahead, so let's rest here tonight."
The bearded man pointed to the town ahead.
Entering the town, the white team attracted a lot of attention, both because of the exotic dress and because of the large number of people.
Naturally, the people gave way to them, retreated to both sides, and talked about them.
In the crowd, the eyes of the two men in black looked very different from the others, and while the two of them cautiously examined these people, they whispered:
"Do you think Nangong will never be mixed into the caravan?"
"This ......"
The other thought for a moment and said,
"At that time, although this caravan was personally approved by the lord of the country, according to the order of the lord of the country, the people in it had been checked one by one, and there was no problem. What's more, Nangong Jue has a child, a four-year-old child, and it is not easy to hide it. ”
"That's right, I think their carriage is so shabby, even if they have children, they can't hide it."
"Let's go, don't waste time on these people, it's important to find children."
The two of them muttered and walked into the distance, no one noticing the evil eyes in the group, who were now smiling triumphantly.
Just like the bearded and mustache said, Nangong is by no means an ordinary person, he is smart and cunning, in order to achieve the goal of going west, he first lobbied the caravan to leave, and he was secretly observing, and after the caravan passed through many checkpoints and was getting farther and farther away from Jintan, he mixed into the team and walked all the way here.
The caravan's dress was especially conducive to his concealment, and a cloak that covered his face was the best.
As for Qiqi...... He sneered secretly, if he took Qiqi with him, he would naturally not be able to go far and be discovered, so the best thing to do was to go separately, just like now.
He sat in the carriage and looked up slightly at the back of the procession, a carriage driven by an old man and a mute who could not speak, and in the old curtain was a mother holding a child with smallpox, but ...... The boy had died a few days earlier, but unfortunately because he had smallpox, no one dared to approach him, and no one would have noticed that he was just a decoration.
The old man obediently followed his instructions and soaked the child's body with liquor and impatiens every day, so that even in such a warm spring, the child's body would not decay.
77...... Thinking of her, he can't help but think of Lin Ling'er.
There is really a mother and a daughter, not only does she look like her mother, but even her personality is the same.
