Chapter 162: A Night in the Trees
The rain wet the shredded hair on her forehead, sticking to her face wet.
She hesitated at the very front of the cliff.
Die, yes. It can be a sudden and severed head, or it can be an escape with thousands of arrows piercing the heart, but God forced her to jump into the river by herself, and she couldn't help but be a little too embarrassed for her.
Ave can't turn back. She must not let the pursuers know that this big black cloak is not Chin Cha himself.
The sound of the horses' hooves drew nearer, and gradually they stopped running, but became the sound of unhurried pacing.
Afu didn't look back, and he knew how disgusting the face of the stone county guard must be that was triumphant.
But when his voice sounded, it still refreshed the lower limit of disgusting: "Master Pei, don't be in vain. What if you..."
He stumbled for a moment, feeling that it was a bit strange to say "surrender", "If you come over, although I can't guarantee you from dying, but on the side of the court, your wife and children will not suffer." You see, it's a good deal to sacrifice yourself to protect your whole family, isn't it? ”
Afu gritted her teeth, despicable and shameless, and threatened women and children, don't say that you can't help my husband, you can't even help my own woman!
The day my husband returns, it will be the time when you, the black-hearted county, will see the king of Hades!
Ah Fu really wanted to see Shu Yu's high-spirited and triumphant appearance.
Eight years ago, he returned from Nanshao and lost his eldest brother, but he did not have half the joy of victory, and she and he were just strangers on Chang'an Street.
In October last year, he defeated the Huns, and she went out to greet her because she had just given birth.
Afu didn't fantasize that when she came back from harvesting grain this time, in her green cloth carriage, she watched him walk in front of him with his tall head and big horse, and the people cheered to welcome their patron saint.
After all, it can't.
She touched her horsehair, and the thrashing pain in her waist where the hemp rope had worn out was still burning.
Treading salt, I wronged you with me.
She kicked the horse's belly and paced restlessly.
Did the hostess want it to jump into the river?
It doesn't want to jump ....
Afu took a deep breath and pulled out another hosta from her left arm.
At that time, Shuyu used four for her reinforcement. Later, she also gave Shu Yu a bundle of hair, and gave Yan Xian a guard to guard the city, this one was used to stimulate the salt, and she could also leave the last hosta to accompany her on the last journey.
She was ruthless and stabbed the hairpin into the horse's neck.
Treading salt hurts and jumps down.
Afu bit her lip and didn't make a sound.
A man and a horse disappeared without warning, and after being shocked, Shijun Shou ordered the arrows to be released, and only the boundless rain of arrows fell into the rolling torrent.
He rushed to the edge of the cliff, it was the midnight season, the river was surging, and there were still people there.
The subordinate was very happy, and when he saw his gloomy face, he comforted: "My lord, isn't this clean, even if the corpse is seen by the downstream, we will bite to death and say that we don't know." The brothers are all tight-mouthed! ”
Shi Ailian was furious: "Do you know that he is dead? Besides, what about Mrs. Chincha? She's going to have to find her, too! ”
Saying that, the soldier who rinsed his mouth that Zhou He saw led a horse and ran over with a roar: "County guard, I found a galloping horse in the forest, but there was no one!" ”
The subordinate was even more happy, and led him over and said, "Look, my lord, let me say, no, Mrs. Qincha's horse has also been found." You said that she was a woman, and she had no horses, and in this forest, she didn't give some hungry wolves or the like to eat in the morning? Don't worry! Besides, Qin Cha is dead, and the emperor still cares about that girl's nonsense? ”
Shi Ailian was skeptical, after all, it was really unusual for a woman to be able to ride so far, so she still ordered: "You, bring people and horses to me and continue to find them!" To live to see people, to die to see corpses! Sound no more? ”
The subordinates responded happily, and Shi Ailian took a few personal soldiers and turned around and went back in the direction of Zou County.
As soon as Shi Ailian walked away, the soldier came over and asked his subordinates: "Brother, let's.... Right now? ”
The subordinates squeezed their eyes: "What are you searching for!" Adults are just too cautious. Okay, let's close the team, let's walk slowly, find a kiln on the way to relieve fatigue, and go back and say that the corpse is half eaten by the wolf. ”
The soldier smiled like a flower: "Brother is wise!" ”
Zhou He sneaked around with Shuyu on his back all night, and only climbed the tree to rest in the early hours of the morning.
When they went out of the north city gate, they went west, and then fled south, and separated from their wives in the southwest corner of Zou County, looking at the terrain, which was about ten miles south of Zou County, and they could still see the city wall south of Zou County in the distance.
It was very difficult to carry Shu Yu up the tree, and when he reached the canopy, Zhou He almost collapsed.
He carefully placed the unconscious Shuyu in the middle of the canopy and reached out to probe his wounds.
The first arrow was the deepest, but on the side of the shoulder blade, it was only a flesh wound.
The second and third branches were almost in one place, injuring the lower right back, and the intestines could almost be seen.
The last one shot in the upper right back, presumably injuring a lung.
Zhou He was also able to debride and bandage, seeing such a wound was really helpless, looking at Pei Shuyu, whose lips were purple and his breathing was weak, the five-foot-tall man couldn't help but wipe his tears.
After sitting on the tree for a while, Zhou He was ruthless and decided to leave Shuyu here first.
Bianzhou, where Wang Erye is located, is only a hundred miles away, and he gallops day and night, and can return in one day.
Zhou He gathered the left and right branches inside to ensure that Shuyu was not noticed by outsiders. If he returns too late, he will kill himself under this tree.
Zhou He made up his mind, and Mali went down to the tree.
He was also lucky, he didn't walk a few steps before he met a family, the men had gone out to plough the land, and there was only an old woman and a little daughter-in-law in the family.
He didn't care about morality, so he kicked the gate away, went straight into the house, took the two horses in the courtyard, rode one and led the other, and drove away, leaving behind the weeping and screaming woman and the old woman who collapsed to the ground.
The farmer's horse was no better than the military horse, and although it could run faster under Zhou He's wild strategy, it was only sixty miles away, and the one he rode was obviously physically exhausted, foaming at the mouth.
At this time, Zhou He's heart was anxious, where was there still a little pity, and he kicked the soft horse's belly.
The horse groaned, gave off its front hooves, and fell to the ground.
Zhou He is experienced, and at the moment when the horse body is down, he stepped on the horse body and jumped up, jumped on another horse, and did not stop at all, just galloping all the way, and finally rushed to Bianzhou before sunset.
Bianzhou was about to go down the city gate, and when he saw that there were still dried blood stains on his face, Zhou He, who looked like a mad demon, was so frightened that he closed the door a little faster.
Zhou He roared: "Take me to Governor Wang!" If you dare to delay, I will make your whole family pay for your life!! ”
Although the guards were afraid, they also knew that it was powerful, and hurriedly led him into the city.
However, after a stick of incense, before the city gate was closed, someone shouted: "Open the city gate!" Open the gates! ”
As soon as the guards were tired and half dead and opened the city gate, Zhou He galloped out of front of him again, and a horse team of about 100 people followed him, and there was a puff of smoke and dust.
Just as he was about to close the door again, he saw the governor's carriage galloping towards him, and from time to time he encountered bumps in the road, and the carriage almost flew up in the air.
Governor Wang Ningzhi was a chronic man, where had the guards seen his carriage drive so fast, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly opened the city gate again.
These back and forth made three or five strong young men so tired that they were panting.
Ning Zhi had actually followed Zhou He out of the city earlier, and the carriage was filled with a cart of old doctors, who were too old to ride a horse.
Ning Zhi said that they must run as fast as possible in the carriage, completely ignoring a bunch of old bones and almost falling apart.
After all, it was a military horse, so they ran faster, and in the middle of the night, Zhou He and Wang Ningzhi arrived.
Zhou He ran continuously for many days, and at this time it was really the end of the crossbow, and when he arrived at the tree where Shu Yu was hiding, he planted it from his horse, and struggled to climb up the tree, but was stopped by Wang Ningyi: "Don't go up, I'll go." ”
Where can Wang Ningzhi climb trees, even though he is anxious, but he still has reason, knowing that he is wasting time when he goes up, he waved his hand to let the two subordinates go up, and advised: "Be careful, don't hurt Second Master Pei." ”
The subordinates had to be ordered to go up, and a few soldiers came out to stack Arhats, and they simply transported Shu Yu down flat.
Ning Yi looked at Shu Yu's deathly complexion, his heart was fierce, and his voice changed when he turned around: "What about the doctor?" Why hasn't the carriage arrived yet? ”
The soldiers got out of the way, the old man carried the box, and the soldier carried the old man and ran all the way: "It's here, it's here..."
All the soldiers were not angry, waiting for the panting old doctor to check the pulse.
Although the old man passed through the big scene, he was still a little nervous, and simply closed his eyes.
After a long day of diagnosis, I didn't dare to say that there was help, but said: "Let's feed some ginseng soup first, this master is a little short of water." ”
