Chapter 344: A Love Story Between a Stallion and a Mare
Diyin didn't know how far she had traveled in the past two hours, maybe ten miles, maybe five, but she didn't care, as long as she was one step away from the murderous demon, she was happy.
It's just that at the moment, I can't see a little joy in her expression.
Her high fever had just subsided, and although she knew that she would recover soon, the fatigue and dizziness after the high fever did not subside for a while.
She woke up when she first arrived at Chou, because she had been in a coma and fever, and she did not understand her situation for a while when she woke up, but when she saw the ivory knife beside her, and saw the murderous demon sleeping outside the carriage door, she knew that although she did not understand more details, there were a few things that could not be more accurate - she was still alive, she had become a prisoner of others, and she had to flee immediately!
However, when she thought of escaping, she had no bottom in her heart. Since she was a child, she has been a likable lady, not to mention running away from home, which she can't understand after hearing a lot, that is, saying the word "no" in front of her parents, she has never thought about it...... Otherwise, he would not have been married to Kongcheng in Raozhou.
When you encounter something that must be done, you have a heart that you don't want to do, can't do, or haven't done, and the only way to do it is to grit your teeth and do it when you die.
Besides, in order to prevent herself from being forced by others, Miss Di prepared other things in addition to an ivory dagger before going out.
For example, this lavender called "Gentle Township" was obtained by her through the little girl at home with some painstaking efforts. At first, she was still a little resistant to this thing, after all, when she heard the name, she could probably guess that this was definitely not something that could be used in a serious place, in fact, it was indeed true as its name, this lavender was a secretly popular drug in the hands of some rich people, although it was not as well-known as the kitsch, but because of its good sleeping effect, it was unexpectedly welcomed.
Imagine if a girl from a family would rather die than obey, crying and howling to attract people, wouldn't it be a bad thing? Rather than this, it is better to open this "gentle township" as soon as possible, let her smell it, and it will be convenient to fall asleep like death without three breaths, and then you can just do whatever you want?
Naturally, although these drugs have long been included in the government's control list, because most of the channels for the outflow are hidden, and most of the people who can afford to use this medicine are not ordinary people, the role that the government can play is minimal, otherwise it would not be possible for the dignified lady to get her hands on the small people in the guò mansion.
Although she felt ridiculous, thinking of what she might encounter in the Kong family in the future, she still thanked the other party for her kindness and accepted it silently.
Sadly, she had carried the ivory dagger with her little thing - perhaps only because it seemed to her that it was the only thing she could use to protect herself.
Holding her breath, she quietly took out the small white gourd-shaped porcelain bottle hidden in her waist, unscrewed the stopper, and quietly stretched out the hand holding the bottle outside the car.
She didn't know how long this "gentle township" could make people sleep, so after Dugu fell asleep, she hurriedly packed her things and prepared to escape, not only putting away the ivory dagger again, but also being rare and shrewd, and taking away some of the food in the other party's baggage.
Of course, the reason why she didn't take the burden with her food was that the kindness in her heart was only a small part of the reason, and the other large part was because she was afraid that the other party would retaliate against her - if she took it all, what if the other party didn't starve to death and happened to find her? Leave some food behind to avoid a situation where you don't have a reason to intercede.
But there's something else to it about. If intercession is useful, naturally there are not many reasons, one is enough; If it is useless to intercede, it is futile to leave more reasons, and maybe because you have too many worries, you will end up with even the only hope of escaping with your own hands.
So, she left some of the food, but took both horses away.
What happened next convinced her that she was doing the right thing. Less than an hour after escaping she was hungry, so the food she had brought out came in handy; She didn't pay attention to anything else when she ate, so when she found that she could only find one horse, she was even more convinced that two horses were a good choice.
Of course, there are some things she didn't count, such as the fact that she didn't find water. The horse said that she could eat some tender grass and leaves to replenish water, but Miss Dijia had never seen anyone eat these things to quench her thirst, she vaguely remembered that there was water in the place where she escaped, and also remembered that there seemed to be a water bladder on the carriage, but at this time she had escaped, and going back to get it was tantamount to throwing herself into a net, and without thinking too much, she calculated the importance in her heart: after going back, there was a risk of being caught by that person, and she would still be a prisoner at that time, maybe the other party would have to split herself in half with a knife……
Intuitively, she insisted that if she went in the opposite direction, she would be able to survive without water.
finally convinced herself, but the point is that she has something else that she hasn't calculated.
For example, men and women.
At present, in addition to stones, she is full of grass and trees, and naturally she can't see any men and women; In fact, when it comes to the affairs of men and women, even if there are men and women coming and going like Linjiang City, she doesn't necessarily know what this matter of men and women is.
She didn't know, the horses knew.
Especially when the stallion has been running for a long time and finds that he has shown his favor countless times along the way, experienced such feats as living and dying with him, and elopement, and then sees that the mare that is about to pursue success is gone, the chagrin in his heart can be imagined.
But at this time, the man who stayed on his horse's back kept urging him to run forward, and the stallion was naturally unwilling to cooperate.
You're stupid, the mare is behind us!
While thinking about it in my heart, I thought of a way to delay in circles, thinking that either this person would turn the horse's head and go back to look for it, or the mare would try her best to catch up from behind.
When did Miss Di suffer such anger? It's obviously a horse under his crotch, but he doesn't listen to his own call at all, if it is placed in the flute, it is simply unimaginable!
After nearly half an hour, compared with the original speed, the distance traveled at this time was less than one-third of the original, and more importantly, it was clear that she was a little thirsty, after such a long time of tossing, she shouted and shouted tired, although she reminded herself countless times in her heart not to think about drinking water, but in fact she became more and more thirsty.
Under normal circumstances, a person can still hold on for three days without water, and Miss Di will not be so thirsty in just one day. However, considering that she had a high fever that did not go away before, and her body was already extremely dehydrated, and now she is fleeing in a hurry, and she just eats a lot of dry food, and it is understandable that she feels thirsty.
Feeling that he was lazy and didn't start to be so noisy, the stallion thought it was a compromise between the other party and himself. It tried to circle around the spot a few times, but found that the other party still did not react, except that the reins in his hand were pulled back, and there was no more obvious objection.
The stallion was overjoyed.
It tried to take two steps in the same direction - naturally, in order not to be reprimanded by the noise, its movements were not obvious, but moved backwards by eating the branches and leaves behind it.
But it was still not as troublesome as expected.
This does not seem to be a compromise anymore. The stallion shook his head, blinked and looked again in the direction he had come: this seemed to be the default.
It knew that it had two choices: either stay where it was, wait until the man on horseback had grown impatient, and if the mare had not caught up, it would have to give up regretfully; Either that, you have to hurry up and run back, find the mare as much as you can, and then decide which side to go to together.
It seems that the latter has more initiative and more chances of success - after all, the woman chases the male compartment yarn, and the man chases the female compartment paper - it seems that the old groom has persuaded his son in this way, and the stallion does not understand the difference between the compartment yarn and the compartment paper, but the current situation is obvious: there are many layers of grass and trees between himself and the mare!
With a brisk sound of the horse, the stallion had made up his mind, and without hesitation, he took the sleepy man on his back and turned back in the direction he had come.
Jiang Cong didn't let the flute wait too long. It's just that this is already approaching the bottom line of his patience.
Fortunately, when he saw the joy on Jiang Cong's face, which was gradually leaning towards him, although he was tired but still unable to hide it, his heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and his face was no longer as cold as just now.
Only Jiang Cong came back, to be exact, only Jiang Cong came from the west.
He did not explain the survey to the flute first, but first went to the other two horsemen who stayed in place to investigate, and gave two orders, and watched the two men gallop in the direction of the east before coming to the flute.
"It seems that something has been discovered." Flute asked with a gentle face.
"There aren't many direct clues, except for this one." As he spoke, he held out his hand. Flute frowned, and when he got closer, he realized that he had been holding something in his hand.
"It's ......"
"Rivets on the carriage." Jiang Cong replied: "Ordinary vehicles take the official road, and there is no possibility of the rivet falling, and the current one means that there are carriages that do not take the official road, but take the bumpy mountain road." ”
"How sure?" Di stated what he meant, but there was clearly no more time to clear the suspicion at the moment.
"I'm not sure." Jiang Cong replied truthfully, and when he saw the flute, his brows were furrowed, and he said: "There are ruts rolled by carriages on the grass in the north, and they are all new after looking at them. ”
"Good!" Hearing this, although the flute was dissatisfied with his subordinates deliberately hanging his appetite, he also knew that if this was the case, then it was basically certain that the car was going in that direction. At this time, he didn't think about how much effort it took to find this rivet Jiang Cong, nor did he ask how far the new-looking rut was from the official road, what he wanted was a result.
What's more, with this result, the rest doesn't matter.
"Let's go, let's see." The flute patted Jiang Cong's shoulder, got on his horse and greeted.
