Chapter 15: Escape

The play has a particularly good place.

It's that it has a focus, and at that moment, at that moment, everyone's attention is on the protagonist, and at this time you can do what you want.

Li Lianqiao laughed loudly and jumped off the dock from the warship and walked towards the Xu family's mansion, Xiaogui quietly climbed into the back wall.

Most of the soldiers were in the front yard, and the back yard was only stared at by the archers, avoiding their gaze with ease.

After entering, he went straight to Xu Yongzhi's room, and on the way, he saw a few clothes of servants and servants on the drying rack, and took them and put them in his baggage.

What Xiaogui was looking for was the most vulnerable member of the family, he pushed open the door and entered, and the room was quiet.

Xiaogui directly lifted Xu Yongzhi's kang mat and futon.

No one in Jiangnan uses a clay kang, but Xu Yongzhi went to the north a few times and felt that this thing was too comfortable in winter, so he built one himself.

Xiaogui lifted the cover of the kang hole, and sure enough, he saw Sister-in-law Liu, who took care of Xiao Duo, holding Xiao Duo and hiding inside.

"Brother?" Xiao Duo asked tentatively.

"It's me," Xiaogui said softly, "we have to hurry up." ”

"Little brother!" Xiao Duo stretched out his hand and was about to climb out.

Sister-in-law Liu hugged her.

"Don't move," Sister-in-law Liu unsheathed the dagger with a serious face, "Xia Xiaogui, who asked you to come?" ”

"No one asked me to come, so I came back and saw that the enemy had already entered the house." Xiaogui said.

"The young master's order to me is to let me take Xiao Duo here and wait for him to pick it up." Sister-in-law Liu said.

"Sister-in-law Liu, I can understand your thoughts, but my judgment is that there are too many enemies today, I'm afraid there are four or five thousand people, the town gate and the gate have fallen, and the master, the master and the son can't fight against it, I want to take Xiaoduo away and escape to have a chance."

Sister-in-law Liu groaned, she had to make a choice between trusting Xia Xiaogui or not.

"Xiaogui, where are you going to take her? You're going to tell me. Sister-in-law Liu said.

"I will take her to Master Zhang Huan of Longhu Mountain, Longhu Mountain is powerful and religiously quiet, even if it is the Southern Tang Dynasty, it will not dare to harass easily." Xiaogui said.

Sister-in-law Liu was silent for a while.

"Xia Xiaogui, I don't trust you enough. I have been with the Xu family for thirteen years, the master saved my life, you have only been with the son for three years, the lady and the son love you and spoil you, but I don't know you well enough, I can't hand over the young lady to you. ”

"Sister-in-law Liu! I was rescued from the thief's den by Childe, haven't you understood it in the past few years? He is my benefactor and the one I love, and I will use my life to protect him and his family. ”

"I know you're right, this time we may all be killed, but Lord and Madam, only this bit of blood, Xia Xiaogui, I can only believe you, if you are really anti-willing, you can actually snatch Miss."

"My sister-in-law, it's good if you understand."

"Xiaogui, I bet my life to believe you," Sister-in-law Liu turned to Xiaogui, "Miss, you go with Xiaogui, and he will send you to someone who can protect you." Sister-in-law Liu put away the dagger and handed Xiao Duo to Xiao Gui.

Xiao Gui picked up Xiao Duo, "Sister-in-law Liu, come with us." ”

"I'm just going to be a drag," Sister-in-law Liu said, "Don't be a mother-in-law, go quickly." ”

"Then you hide it yourself!" Xiaogui said.

"What is good to hide? I just asked you where you are going because I don't worry about you. Now that I know where you've been, I don't worry about myself, they torture me, I won't be able to bear it, so I won't let myself fall into their hands. ”

"Sister-in-law Liu!"

"If you don't leave, do you want to let Miss see my body?"

Xiaogui picked up Xiao Duo and walked back.

"Xia Xiaogui, you have to have a son in your heart, if you lose him, I won't forgive you for being a ghost. Come on! ”

Sister-in-law Liu stuffed the dagger into Xiao Duo's hand, "Miss, take it, you can defend yourself at a critical moment." ”

Xiaogui gave Sister-in-law Liu a bow to the ground, hugged Xiao Duo, and went straight to the back wall.

Behind him came the sound of a heavy object falling into a well.

Xiao Duo's tears fell, this was the first time she had experienced the death of someone around her.

Xiao Gui put Xiao Duo on the wall, and jumped on it again, and at this time, the fire in the Xu family's study had already risen.

"Don't look." Xiao Gui ordered Xiao Duo.

"No, I want to remember, I want revenge." Xiao Duo said word by word.

Xiaogui was still thinking about Sister-in-law Liu's words in his heart.

The lord and the lady only have such a kin, Xiao Duo, why would Sister-in-law Liu think that the son would die in this siege?

Xia Xiaohei was tied to the woods outside the back wall, Xiao Gui picked up Xiao Duo on the horse, and the two rode a horse together, quietly escaped from the enemy's sight, and disappeared into the deep forest near Lin Quan.

It was getting dark, and they saw the knights of the Southern Tang Dynasty killing people in the firelight on the hills, and saw the walls of Linquan being torn down and women and children being plundered.

What kind of night is this, Xiao Duo wanted to rush down the mountain to find her mother several times, but was pulled back by Xiao Gui several times and held down, Xiao Gui forced her to eat wild fruits and sleep, where is she willing to eat! Where can I sleep?

"Now we can't live, the enemy is down there, drink raw water, you may get sick, although the wild fruit is sour, but the juice in it, will make you not thirsty."

"Sleep will make people healthy, and when you sleep enough, you will have the strength to walk and have a chance to take revenge."

"How can you still be so calm!" Xiao Duo was so angry that she jumped to her feet.

"You are so angry, can you anger an enemy?"

"I know I can't, but what else can I do!" Xiao Duo shouted.

"Come here, give me sleep!" Xiao Gui pressed her under his arm, and Xiao Gui fell asleep after a while, Xiao Duo was tired of crying, and gradually fell asleep.

After a night of fire, Lin Quan was in complete ruins.

Xiao Gui saw that the enemy was far away, so he took out a crossbow and shot a hare, and roasted it with Xiao Duo to eat.

took out a few clothes in the baggage, wore women's clothes by himself, let Xiao Duo wear boys' clothes, and dressed up a little, they became sisters and brothers who went to the city to catch the market.

Xiaogui pushed Luo Xiaohei into the mud and rolled again, making the shiny fur dirty, carrying a bundle of firewood for it, and hiding two swords and crossbows in it.

He painted himself and Xiao Duo with dust and sludge, and then led the horse generously and walked towards Tanzhou City.

When I was about to get to the outside of Tanzhou City, I saw a literate person reading a reward notice on the side of the road: "A reward girl, about seven years old, three feet tall, and a man, about sixteen years old, five feet tall, riding a black horse, wearing a green clothes ......."

"Stop, what are you doing?"

"Whoever brings firewood to the city."

"Who's it for?"

"Feijia Restaurant, the one that makes fried meat."

"Oh, who are you?"

"My brother."

The soldier took the figure and took a picture of the two of them.

An older one next to him took it, "What's the trouble, there are two brothers and sisters to check, you can't tell the difference between men and women?" ”

"Well, it doesn't hurt to see."

"You look at other girls."

"What's the matter, a firewood girl with a handful of bones."

Xiao Gui and Xiao Duo didn't dare to speak, so they hurriedly drove their horses into the city.

The young doorman was still muttering: "Didn't you see that village girl just now, her face was plastered, but her wrists were so white, she always felt that something was wrong......

Xiaogui entered the city and found a ready-to-wear shop outside the gate of the Lingguan Palace.

"Shopkeeper, my mother wants to donate a set of Taoist robes to the master to make merits, do you have any goods here?"

"What is your approximate size?"

"That master is about my size."

"There's a set."

Xiaogui bought a robe, found a secluded place to change, threw away all the firewood on the horseback, hid the double sword, but pulled Xiaoduo straight to Sanqingguan, a tailor shop outside the door.

"Recruit a new apprentice, is there a robe she can wear, if not, make me one."

The tailor looks at Xiao Duo.

"There is an old Taoist in Sanqingguan who took in a little apprentice and made a pair of clothes, and before he could put them on, this child died of pulmonary disease, if you don't mind, Master, just give a two-run cost of work."

The two of them changed their clothes into Daogu masters and apprentices, but they went directly to the inn and found a side room to live in, but Xiaogui found that Xiao Duo began to cough, so he quickly found a buddy, bought vegetables, rice and coal stoves with the guy, and asked the guy to catch the medicine.

The guy saw that this aunt's apprentice had a fever, and he was afraid that it was a lung epidemic, so he hurriedly bought something and threw it at the door, and didn't dare to come in again, but it was safer now.

It was late at night, and Xiao Duo burned in a daze.

"Little brother."

"Xiao Duo, what do you want?"

"It's hot."

The child's forehead was like coals of fire.

Xiaogui took cold water and wet a hand towel and put it on her forehead.

"Little brother, what will happen to my mother? What will happen to my dad? What about my brother? ”

"I, I don't know."

Xiaogui has been in the Xu family for three years, and after three years of being able to control his life, he is learning skills and things every day, and he is seeing the person he likes, he thinks that he will never be as helpless as he was when he was in a thief's den.

Who would have thought that such a powerful family, a force that seemed so powerful, would also collapse in the face of the enemy's attack.

Once again, he experienced the feeling of "I don't know", a feeling of helplessness.

Yesterday he did not dare to be angry, anger would make him lose his judgment. But today, he was slowly found by anger, and a career and organization that he had been working for was full of ideals, and everyone was doing good deeds, and an organization was destroyed by a cruel and vicious woman.

He would have complained about Xu Yongzhi before, if he hadn't provoked Mo Yuan, maybe there wouldn't have been so many things, but in the past few days, he has gradually put the clues into a picture scroll, he hasn't heard the master talk about the wizarding world, but he has already judged that Mo Yuan is not the widow of Xuezheng, she has a very big influence in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and there are many masters around her who can call it, her revenge has been planned for a long time, poor little idiot Xu Gongzi is just a grasp of her revenge.

"My father, my mother, will I be killed?" Xiao Duo looked at the pensive Xiaogui and asked.

"Xiao Duo, I don't know, I don't know what will happen to them."

"I want them back." Xiao Duo said.

"We can't help them now, but I can get you to a safe place and let a real sword master teach you martial arts, and if they can save their lives, we will rescue them, and if they are killed, we will help them take revenge." Xiaogui said.

"I can't give you more guarantees, Xiao Duo, I'm not that kind of person, your brother has the ambition to save the world, he has helped many people, but I, now, can only take you out first."

"I hope I can grow up soon and save them."

"Me too, I also hope that you will grow up soon, and we will rescue them together."

The two of them hugged each other tightly.

"Little brother."

"Xiao Duo, is it okay to call me sister in the future."

"Great, I want my sister. My brother is too serious, and I have long wanted you to be my sister. ”

Xiaogui thought of Shi Niang's sentence "Be yourself", and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, today, she finally made up her mind.

"Little Guijie, do you like my brother?"

"I like it."

"I'm so happy."

"Pleased with what."

"I'm glad you like him so we can be together forever."

Xiao Duo fell asleep groggily.

In this deserted room, there is a siege outside, and there is a search inside, calling the heavens and the earth not spiritual, poor Xiaogui still has a little sister with a high fever!

The medicine pot on the small stove boiled.

Xiaogui poured the medicine pot into the bowl covered with a filter cloth and waited for the medicinal soup to gradually warm up.

Xiaogui looked at it, and there was a bronze mirror on the table.

He had never understood who he was supposed to be, whether he was male or female.

But tonight, he understood.

She, Xia Xiaogui, is a real woman, and the biggest difference between her and other women is that she knows how to analyze the situation better than them and has a better mind.

Xiaogui silently took out a piece of rouge from her arms and put a little color on her lips, since she decided to be a woman, she had to dress herself well.

Xiaogui looked in the mirror, a beautiful female Taoist aunt, reached out and touched the bowl, it's okay.

She went to shake Xiaoduo.

"Xiao Duo, get up, sister has fed you medicine!"

The fever went back and forth, and the fever went back and forth, and on the third day, Xiao Duo's fever finally subsided, and her cough improved greatly.

"Sister, I want to drink honey loquat soup."

"It's easy!"

Xiaogui asked Xiaoduo to lie down, took the door and went out to the pharmacy to sell loquat dew and honey.

The loquat dew from this pharmacy is really good, and the fat loquat from this spring is well pickled, and the honey is local rape nectar, which is a perfect match.

Xiaogui took loquat dew and honey before he walked out of the pharmacy, and heard a fast hand at the entrance of the yamen holding a sign and banging a gong to swagger through the market.

"The military and civilians have listened!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Tomorrow at noon, the prisoner will be killed outside the gate of the Fire Palace!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom"

"Behead Xu Zhixun, a death row prisoner!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Xiaogui was like a walking corpse, crowded in the crowd watching the excitement, and was surrounded and walked forward.

The two officers walked to the corner of the street and thrust the board with the notice into the ground.

Some of the literate people crowded to the front, and the illiterate ones crowded around him.

Xiaogui has the best eyesight, and he saw Xu Zhixun's name from a distance, with three big red crosses drawn.

Below is the official seal of Tanzhou Mansion and the painting of the prefect.

The loquat dew in Xiaogui's hand fell on the slate, and the white porcelain bottle shattered.
