2. Lullaby
Rou and Yu were pushed to the corner, and saw Gu Yue, whose face was covered with putty, lying crooked next to the stove, Ah Ying took the opportunity to look into the stove, no wonder she didn't find anything when she came in just now, these people actually stuffed them into the stove alive!
Thinking like this, Ah Ying saw another person he had never seen come in with the drunken uncle, and then threw him to the ground without mercy.
As soon as he fell, the man moved his fingers, it seemed that he had woken up a long time ago, and Ah Ying didn't pierce it, after all, everyone was arrested together, and they were also people in the same boat.
The other three moved swiftly to tie up the hands of the soft, young, and drunken uncles in front of them, and then, without the slightest preparation, very rudely and forcefully, they lifted the hands of the three of them up and pushed them back, and then turned them behind their backs along with their arms!
With this fierce move, Rao is Gu Rou was also shocked into a cold sweat, not to mention the uncle who pretended to be dizzy.
only heard a few clicks of the joints, and he immediately stared at the boss, howling and rolling, and was kicked to the ground by the other party, lying in the corner of the wall humming and chirping, not daring to move.
These people are really powerful, Ah Ying muttered in his heart, his hands were tied tightly and he couldn't move at all, from the front to the back, the sprain was small, and the average person estimated that his arm was broken like this, and it was estimated that the middle-aged uncle who was rolling on the ground had dislocated his arm.
"There are too many people, let's work shifts in twos and twos" I only heard the three of them walking out, and the sound was so small that it was almost inaudible. But for a person like Ah Yu with excellent ear power, the key information was captured in just a few words.
It's not that it's two shifts, it's the accent of the person's voice!
The other party speaks Datang dialect, and the timbre is very standard, but for the locals, it is too stiff and rigid. It is this standard Datang dialect that can no longer be standard, that exposes their identity.
Ah Ying and Gu Rou glanced at each other, and they both read the surprise in each other's eyes.
Datang is located in the southeast, with Xishu in the west, the Later Han in the north, and a small country in the middle of the Three Kingdoms. Over the years, except for the tense relations between Xishu and Datang, the other countries have been relatively harmonious.
If you want to say that all over the Tang Dynasty, secret agents from various countries must be indispensable, but who else has always been obsessed with Miao Jiang and has a deep geographical advantage, except for Xishu!
I'm afraid most of them are also the inner line of Xishu.
Gu Rou couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Xishu has coveted Miao Jiang for a long time, it is well known, since the recovery of Huancheng, not only the Tang Dynasty court paid more attention to Miao Jiang, sending heavy troops to garrison Huancheng on the border, the three towns of Miao Jiang themselves are secretly accumulating, waiting for the recruitment at any time.
It is not terrible for the enemy to seize strongly, and it is not terrible to send all kinds of fine work to invade, but the terrible thing is that the enemy is so familiar with the Miao Village, the head of Miao Jiang! It's so fine that the arrangement of a small bamboo horse post on duty is clear!
In addition to the local ancient surname, the insiders of Miao Village are the children of each of the three towns, and they come to practice when they are ten years old. And every person who lives for a long time will be registered, and many investigations will be conducted, and ordinary people will not be able to mix in if they want to. Then there is only one possibility, it is Miao Zhai himself who is a traitor!
Thinking of this, Gu Rou couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat again.
In the village, it is impossible to send anything out in any way, so this person must be able to come and go freely or, he is not in the Miao village at all.
There are not many local ancient surnames in Miao Village, there are only five people in this generation, all of them are nested and immobile, and it is almost impossible to have such a careful arrangement at a young age, all of them are excluded.
In the previous generation, there were few people, and there were only three people left, except for Gu Chan, the mother of Ren Gu's house, the other two were Ayu's mother Gu Shuangji, and the other was Gu Qinghe, the spiritual medium of Miao Village, and the latter two had been missing for many years.
Gu Chan's position is very high, if he betrays, Miao Jiang would have collapsed and been ruled out.
Aunt Jin, six years ago, Jiang Du and Ah Ying separated, and there was no news, if she betrayed, she could directly appear as the Gu woman of Miao Village, and she could break Miao Village by joining forces with the outside, but she is still missing, ruled out.
Gu Qinghe, she doesn't know much about this person, the last time she appeared in Miao Village, Gu Rou was only one year old, and she was still held in her mother's arms at that time, and she had no memory for a long time. I happened to hear Grandma Lu talk about it once, it is said that in a secret marriage, as the spiritual medium in charge of the marriage, she took the initiative to let the sacrifice go because of a moment of compassion, which was the first time in her life, and the last time. After that, she was kicked out of Miao Jiang. This matter has always been regarded as a great shame for Miao Village, and it has not been mentioned for many years, and outsiders do not know about it. If it is said that it is because of this, it is not impossible to form hatred and collude with foreign enemies.
Counting up, there are only three ancient surnames in that generation, Grandma Lu, Grandpa Zheng and the current Miao Village Linghui - Gu Linghui. These three people don't have to think about it and know that it is impossible, although the first two are old and strong, but they can also see from the feelings of Miao Zhai that they really regard Miao Village as their own home. As for Linghui's mother-in-law, she doesn't need to go through a lot of trouble if she wants to rebel, just say it, and the three towns of Miaojiang will join the enemy together.
Therefore, among the natives of Miao Village, only Gu Qinghe is likely to rebel. In addition, although they are far away but have close contact with Miao Village, there is only one kind of person:
Miao Zhai joined the WTO family.
Gu Rou silently turned her head a few times, thinking about it for too long, and her neck was a little sore.
This is really annoying, there are so many families in the world, some of them are not even clear to the elders...
Gu Rou raised her eyes and saw Gu Yue lying opposite, her eyes closed, no sign of waking up, and her brows furrowed even deeper.
She knows the strength of the eldest sister best. Born a Gu girl, she was personally taught by her mother before the age of ten, and she was deeply inherited, and she entered Miao Village after the age of ten, and she was also the best among her peers, and now she is the only Gu master among the younger generation.
The eldest sister's strength is more than a little higher than herself, and even she has been tricked, which shows how powerful the other party must be.
Gu Rou suddenly felt a chill snaking from her feet upwards, eroding her inch by inch, cold like a poisonous snake, spitting out letters and hissing forward in the dark night. Above the eaves there seemed to be a pair of eyes, staring at them, like a mysterious spring, gurgling and bubbling, sinister, and cold.
Gu Rou's body shook suddenly, and a pain in her shoulder hit her coldly.
Gu Rou moved her shoulders slightly, she wanted to check her situation, but she found that the pain was even worse, like a pinprick, she immediately didn't dare to move, and leaned forward cautiously, not letting her arm continue to twist her shoulder because she was leaning against the wall.
Vaguely sensing that something was wrong, she turned her head slightly and looked at Ah Ying beside her.
Ah Ying was facing away from her and slowly moved towards her, and she also quickly moved a little in the direction of Ah Jin, and the fingers of the two touched together.
Ah Yu twisted her ring finger flexibly, and gently swiped on Gu Rou's left finger:
Toxic, shoulder.
Gu Rou twisted her eyebrows, and Ah Jin's subordinates continued:
Solution, stillness, etc.
Ah Ying was not at ease, and wrote two words in Gu Rou's hand: luck, and then drew a big fork.
After Gu Rou sensed it, she first glanced around quickly, pursed her lips, and after Ah Ying cast a reassuring look at her, she quickly suppressed her true qi, and then she clearly felt that something was gently pecking on her shoulder, which felt like a thin needle roasted on the fire, slowly burning over the skin, painful and itchy, but this pain and itching were completely bearable, making people feel indescribably uncomfortable.
The drunken uncle lying next to Ah Ying flicked his legs, opened his slightly misty eyes, and recovered from his dizziness. He first rolled his eyes a few times, looked at his surroundings, and then saw Ah Ying sitting in front of him.
"Huh" The drunken uncle blew a quick and light breath to Ah Jin, who immediately felt the "call" of the person who came to him, nodded suspiciously, and lowered his head slightly to look down at the person lying on his back on the ground.
It seemed that the person on the ground felt very uncomfortable being looked down on like this, and he rolled his eyes in embarrassment, raised his chin and shrunk his head, trying to have a normal communication with Ah Jin.
He didn't move his mouth and said, "Help me up!" ”
Ah Ying pursed his mouth: "How can I help!" "My hands are tied, too!
The uncle struggled a few more times and said, "Turn around and kick me in the back!" ”
Ah Ying almost rolled her eyes, how much does this person want to sit up, is it uncomfortable to lie down, he can't stop a little, no wonder he was arrested...
She turned cautiously and saw that the man was looking up with his head tilted hard, his head tattooed all over his head, looking at her expectantly with a particularly twisted and hideous face, amusing and poignant.
Ah Ying sat down and moved a few steps forward, stretched out his foot to drill under his back, and the man also supported himself with all his strength, and the two of them tossed a cup of tea back and forth.
The man breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he sat up, then leaned his back against the wall, slid to Ah Jin's side, and slammed his arm into Ah Jin.
"Hiss" touched the wound, and the man gasped, and a cold sweat broke out.
Minor fractures, Ah Ying thought.
After a moment's pause, the man kicked Ah Jin's leg, and Ah Ying turned his head to look at him.
"Thank you," the man mouthed at her.
Ah Ying smiled stiffly at him.
****
At the end of the day.
They had been locked up for two hours.
During this time, none of the guards came in, it was quiet, no one spoke, and occasionally a few gusts of wind could be heard outside.
The poison on Gu Rou's shoulder has been sucked clean by the Gu worms released by Ah Yu, and she is sitting quietly to recuperate.
The two had already quietly loosened the rope with their true power, and had been exchanging information by writing in the palm of their hands.
The tacit understanding between the two has been tempered for many years, and as early as the beginning, when Ah Ying forced his way into the kitchen and heard Gu Yue's shout, the two had already exchanged countermeasures.
Pretend to be caught, improvise, and find out the truth.
The other party is obviously not good, and he rushes at Miao Zhai step by step - only attacking the Miao Zhai people, and the rest don't care.
They first quietly besieged the post station at some point, and then pretended to be a post man to fool Li Tian and the drunken uncle beside him at this time, but they didn't expect the unexpected arrival of Ah Ying and Gu Rou.
made up lies in an attempt to get through the tricks, indicating that at the beginning, the other party just wanted to control the people of the current post station, and there was no way to deal with other Miao Zhai people, and they immediately started after the lies were revealed, without the slightest hesitation, because they were afraid that once someone escaped, the plan would be exposed, but it was not a step-by-step killing move when responding to the war, indicating that they wanted to live, and they needed to find out what they needed to find out in advance.
At this time, the people on the other side were in a coma, and Shui Ying's whereabouts were unknown. Once tonight passes, not to mention the Miao people for the time being, there will definitely be other guests who need to rest here, and they can publicize it as long as they make a little noise.
So for the other side, tonight is the best time and the last chance.
Ah Ying and Gu Rou had been sitting quietly against the wall, and they had already discussed it without saying a word.
The other party has people who know the affairs of Miao Village, so they must know the rules of Miao Village: two partners, one witch and one Gu. So far, neither of them has revealed their identities at all, but once the other party guesses the identities of the two wrongly and uses different skills to deal with the enemy, they will lose, so the other party does not dare to act rashly.
The current situation is very unfavorable for them, counting the two Li Tian lurking outside the house, there are five people available on their side, but they still have to ensure the safety of the four unconscious people.
And the other party, a total of four people who have appeared so far, I don't know if there are any masters lurking inside and outside, they are all masters, they are all masters, just now they still have to stay alive to play, although they can have the upper hand, but if the other party moves to the death, the situation is completely different. Moreover, among the four opponents, there is still one who has never fought before, and he does not know the depth, so he should not be taken lightly. Especially the masked man in black, you can feel a strong internal force between your words...
Ah Ying was in trouble, two hours ago, she quietly released the Gu worm back to the village for help, this kind of Gu worm is very small, and it will not be easily discovered, but when it arrives at the village, it is estimated that the sky is almost dawn...
At the moment, we can only take one step at a time.
There was silence in the room for a while, and Ah Ling, who was lying on the ground opposite, suddenly snorted a few times, sweating profusely. The little hands tied behind his back struggled slightly, and his face looked painful.
Ah Ying glanced at the guards outside, there was no sound, only two shaking human heads could be seen.
She moved slightly to the opposite side, knelt beside Ling, leaned down and leaned lightly in front of him, quietly listening to his heartbeat. The jump was a bit fast, but there were no internal injuries.
Ah Ying tapped Ah Ling's shoulder slightly with her chin, and observed that his face did not change color due to the pain, and then relieved herself. Gently lifting one side of Antelope's body with his legs, he found that he was not tied like them.
Ah Ying slowly straightened up, cross-legged at the bottom, and suddenly someone next to her bumped her arm. She was startled, turned around and found that it was the drunken uncle, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked him in surprise: "What are you doing".
The man simply sat down cross-legged and mouthed at her, "This kid just has a nightmare." Ah Ying looked at the man and felt that when he said this, a little softness appeared on his face.
She wanted to say something, but she only heard the man clear his throat, purse his lips, and hum a warm melody softly.
The man's thick voice is full of incredible tenderness, like the wind in April, the flowers in May, and the sea in June, brushing your cheeks carefully, like spring rain, like summer songs, like autumn leaves, like winter snow, slowly seeping into your heart.
Ah Ying was stunned, is this a lullaby.
She remembers that when she was a child, A-Niang also hummed such a gentle tune to coax her to sleep.
Every night, A-Niang's soft hands will caress her hair, and her tone is gentle. She always smiled at her, so softly, so lovingly, no matter how rough the road ahead. She brought all the sunshine to her, so that her childhood was not a trace of darkness.
Such a warm tune, no one wants to disturb, this moment, long-lost peace.
Ah Ling's expression of pain and struggle slowly faded, and gradually, he fell asleep.
Outside the kitchen, there was a sound of footsteps suddenly approaching, and someone strode in with a sword and shouted, "Be quiet!" Don't speak! You two sit back for me! ”
Interrupted by this reckless man, the humming man was a little displeased, but it was only fleeting.
Seeing that the two of them didn't make a move, the man pulled out his sword suddenly, and his voice was a little harsh.
Seeing this, the drunken uncle kicked Ah Ying and motioned for her to follow him.
Ah Yu glanced at the man holding the sword, and made a sword with his right hand, his swordsmanship was not as good as the one just now, and his fingertips were black.
Wait a minute, blackened? Ah Ying raised her eyebrows, and her heart was not good.
