Chapter 698: Avalanche Trapped
"Yinqiu, you don't sleep at night, what do you want to do when you come out?" Zhao Yunling asked.
There was no doubt in Zhao Yunling's tone, it could even be regarded as ordinary, but it made Yinqiu shudder at this moment.
"No, nothing, I just can't sleep, so I just come out and blow the wind." Yinqiu smiled awkwardly, her eyes glancing around.
Zhao Yunling also smiled when he saw her like this, "So that's the case, I thought you were going to leave alone." You also know that it's been cold lately, and you may be able to see when an avalanche will happen again. I'm afraid that the little clothes and money you brought will not last until you go to find Rong Yan alone. ”
Yinqiu was even more embarrassed for a while, "No, it's just a little cold when I go out for a walk at night, so I just took a few clothes, I'm so cold now, let's go back to sleep, and I'll be in a hurry tomorrow morning." ”
Zhao Yunling didn't pursue her behavior too much, Yinqiu. I felt like I had escaped, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Because he wanted to leave secretly before and was discovered by Zhao Yunling, Yinqiu didn't snort and drink to Zhao Yunling like before the next morning, and the two of them could even get along very harmoniously.
Very eerie harmony.
Yinqiu is not a stupid person, she knows that a thing can't happen too many times in a short period of time, otherwise she will never have the possibility of leaving Zhao Yunling behind in the future.
But if Yinqiu doesn't fix the moths, they will always meet demon moths.
Because he was about to arrive at the disaster area, Zhao Yunling specially hired a few men on the road and asked them to escort him and Yinqiu into the disaster area, which would be safer.
It turned out that Zhao Yunling's precautions were not wrong, but the few men she hired were no match for the violent victims after all.
The victims of these affected areas have not seen outsiders for many days, and they want to run out, but no place is willing to take them in, and there is no way to support them to go further afield.
It was because they had been waiting for someone to send them to the door, and Zhao Yunling and Yinqiu were the big fat sheep sent to the door in their eyes at this moment.
As soon as they saw Zhao Yunling and Yinqiu's carriage entering the city, the victims suddenly rioted.
In Yinqiu's opinion, there were countless fierce beasts dressed in human skins rushing towards them, and the few men hired by Zhao Yunling had already been caught without even playing any role in resisting.
A middle-aged man who looked relatively strong stood up and put a knife against Yinqiu's neck, "You should look like a rich lady, hand over all your money and food, I can spare your life." ”
Yinqiu has been pampered since she was a child, where did she pass by this scene, she was so frightened that she trembled at the time, "Don't, don't, I'm here to find someone, he was killed to save you from coming here for disaster relief, can you do well and let us go?" ”
The man sneered, "I haven't heard of any disaster relief people, if you say it's those dog officials in the imperial court, then I'm going to kill you even more." It just so happens that we are all dying people, and we haven't played with such a precious lady as you. I'll eat it after playing, and it just so happens that the food is also available. ”
Hearing the man's words, the people behind him immediately burst into laughter, and it was an extremely cruel laugh. At this moment, Yinqiu and Zhao Yunling and their party were no longer people in their eyes, but a pile of money and food.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Yunling walked in front of Yinqiu, "We have no more food on our bodies, but I can give you all the money, but it's useless for you to have money now, you don't have anything to eat." Why don't you delay for a few days, I will give you the money, and then let my men go outside and exchange the money for food and bring it over, what do you think? ”
The man thought about it carefully, but found that there were some loopholes in Zhao Yunling's words, "We all have money, why do we need your men to exchange for food, can't we just buy it ourselves?" ”
Zhao Yunling shook his head, "Don't forget, the surrounding towns don't accept you victims now. Even if you say that you have money to buy food, who will believe it? But we're different, we're new here. We still have faith to get in and out smoothly, if you don't believe me, you might as well try first, and if you find out that I lied to you by then, it's not too late to kill us. ”
Those victims all looked at each other, they really didn't have any way now, so they had to temporarily agree to Zhao Yunling's words, but after Zhao Yunling paid the money, Zhao Yunling and Yinqiu were locked up.
And Zhao Yunling's subordinates did follow what Zhao Yunling said, and went outside to exchange food smoothly.
However, they did not use up all the money, but said that now the towns outside are under martial law, and they are not allowed to buy large quantities of food, so they have to change it little by little, so as to delay time, find more people to suppress these victims, and rescue Zhao Yunling and them.
These people kept Zhao Yunling and Yinqiu for the time being, and asked their subordinates to send them food every day.
As for Yinqiu, if it weren't for Yinqiu knowing Rong Yan's whereabouts, Zhao Yunling would never have taken her to heart.
Just one day, when his subordinates were delivering food to Zhao Yunling, Zhao Yunling found an opportunity to sneak out.
At this time, her subordinates had already gathered enough people, and Zhao Yunling gave an order to let those people all pour into the disaster area, and arrested those few people who were the first victims.
In fact, those victims still wanted to resist, but after Zhao Yunling let his men take a few lives, they also quieted down.
Seeing them like this, Zhao Yun nodded with satisfaction, "Actually, after all, don't you treat us just to live?" Now I have a way to keep you alive, but you must listen to me. ”85
"What can you do? There is no way for so many of us, you are a weak woman? Someone made a disgruntled voice.
But this was all within Zhao Yunling's expectations, "I'm different from you, I have money and someone has a way." If you really want to survive, the first priority should be to build a shelter so that you can prevent a snow disaster that may come at any time. And this money, I will pay, you only need to contribute. What do you think of the food matter, if you have money, there is a way to solve it? ”
The victims were silent and did not say a word.
"You saw my person just now, I just went to find someone, and that person was killed to save you. I don't want to force you to do anything, if you want to survive, just stand up. Zhao Yunling said very flatly.
At first, no one reacted, but slowly someone came to Zhao Yunling's side, and there were more and more of these people, and in the end, almost all of them stood up.
With the cooperation of the victims, the rest of the matter will naturally go smoothly.
Zhao Yunling left the money and people, and he went to the victims to inquire about Rong Yan's whereabouts, but to no avail.
And it was at this time that Zhao Yunling remembered Yinqiu.
Yinqiu heard the news that Zhao Yunling had subdued those disaster victims, and was about to sneak away at this time.
But unfortunately, she was caught by Zhao Yunling again.
"Yinqiu, there is one thing I've always wanted to ask you, like how did the victims know that we were coming, and why did they want to rob us. As far as I know, they wouldn't have come down the path we were walking at all. Zhao Yunling questioned Yinqiudao.
Yinqiu's eyes dodged, "How would I know?" ”
"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, but one thing is for sure, you want to leave me behind and walk away by yourself for a long time, and you just wanted to sneak away, right?" Zhao Yunling had a cold face.
Yinqiu wanted to argue, but couldn't speak.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Yunling took out a small white porcelain bottle from the purse on his waist, poured out a black pill from it, and fed it into Yinqiu's mouth, "This is a poison, the antidote is only available to me, if you are disobedient, I will let it attack at any time." ”
Yinqiu heard Zhao Yunling say this, and went to pick his throat in pain, but the medicine had been swallowed by him, and he couldn't spit it out.
Because of this, Yinqiu had to listen to Zhao Yunling's words for the time being, and gave up the idea of secretly leaving alone to find Rong Yan.
But what she didn't expect was that in fact, the medicine that Zhao Yunling fed her was not a medicine at all, and it could even say that it had no effect, but Zhao Yunling would not let her know about it.
After solving the affairs of the victims, Yinqiu and Zhao Yunling set off again.
The snow disaster had not completely stopped, and Yinqiu took Zhao Yunling to the place where the snow disaster was more serious.
Because of the medicine, Yinqiu was very obedient all the way Zhao Yunling was not worried that Yinqiu would lie to her.
After all, if time is delayed now, it will be Rong Yan's life that is delayed, and neither of the two of them, Yinqiu and Zhao Yunling, will want to see Rong Yan die.
But the longer they walked, the greater the snow disaster became. The road is more difficult to walk, which only causes them to stop and go along the way. I didn't walk much for a few days before I had to stop.
Zhao Yunling thought that this was the worst situation, but he didn't expect that the worse situation was yet to come.
On the fifth day of their journey, they were hit by an avalanche.
If it weren't for Zhao Yunling's quick reaction and running into a cave with Yinqiu in time, they would probably have died in an avalanche before they could find Rong Yan.
But Yinqiu felt more and more that this was not a problem.
The two of them rested in this cave for one night, and Yinqiu secretly went through Zhao Yunling's baggage when Zhao Yunling was asleep, wanting to get the antidote and leave early to avoid dying.
But as if it was fate, she was caught by Zhao Yunling again.
"Don't try to find an antidote, I don't have the antidote on me at all. If you want to live, then you can only obediently take me to find Rong Yan. ”
Zhao Yunling's words extinguished Yinqiu's last glimmer of hope.
