Chapter 178: The General Falls and the People Are Difficult
The three of them went to Suizhong County, Shen Rong inquired about the news of Xiao Zhan from Lin Qing's mouth, the people of Fangyuan knew him, but he was very respected in the eyes of the people, and finally he was charged with assassinating the prince, the general was killed, Suizhong County was captured by the Mongols overnight, and inexplicably infected with the plague, although the plague spread everywhere, everyone was in danger, but the plague here is very abnormal, the people here are not people and ghosts, and now it has become a ghost town that the people talk about......
Now I don't know the situation of Xiao Zhan, and I am very worried about Su Liuyin's comfort, and I am worried all the way, and only when I get to this Suizhong County can I uncover all the mysteries.
Finally arrived outside the city gate of Suizhong County, Lin Qing looked at the closed city gate, "Young man...... The gates of the city were sealed...... This Suizhong County is now a ghost town, it is a place where people eat people, we can't rush in! ”
The young man frowned and asked, "Brother Lin...... Is there a way to get into the city? ”
Lin Qing scratched his head a little anxiously and said, "This ......... I don't know either...... This city gate has been sealed by officers and soldiers recently, and it was originally just an ordinary person infected with the plague, but somehow it has become such a non-human and ghost-like appearance! ”
"And how did your son get in?" The boy said and looked at him suspiciously.
Lin Qing paced, "Oops", "I don't know if this stinky boy is not in this Suizhong County, there are checkpoints on this official road, there are officers and soldiers guarding it, and you can't pass it without a pass, if you come, it must be a small road, this kid only left a letter saying that he wants to save the world, we are all honest ordinary people, I think that I can walk the rivers and lakes with a few points of three-legged cat kung fu, I don't know the depths, it's really a crime!" ”
Shen Rong looked at a lifeless Suizhong County, washed by the torrential rain a few days ago, an autumn rain and a cold, very bleak and cold, and it is a northern border land, it is a bitter cold, the clothes on the body are thin, it is difficult to keep out the cold, I can't help but tighten my body, and unconsciously glance at the splendid again, only to see the cold and beautiful woman with a tall posture and a dignified expression, I can't help but secretly sigh that her body is strong, she is worthy of being a hero among this woman, this may also be the reason why I like her, I am used to seeing delicate women on weekdays, The woman in front of him made him fall in love.
The young man came back to his senses and asked again: "Since this Suizhong county town is so fearful, why is there no officers and soldiers guarding the city gate?" ”
The middle-aged man sighed, "Young man, you don't know!" Since the fall of General Su, the officers and soldiers in this vicinity are scattered sand, and this talented general like General Su is afraid that it will be difficult to find even if he is wearing a lantern! ”
"I'll go and split the gates of the city......"
The two of them were stunned for a moment, only to see Jinxiu turn his head and hold a long knife with extremely sharp blades, wanting to go towards the city gate.
Lin Qing panicked even more when he saw it, and hurriedly grabbed the girl and said, "You're crazy...... The situation inside is not yet clear, if you rush in, what if you get infected with the epidemic! Or what if the sick man runs out and harms the people? ”
Jinxiu said: "No matter what the situation is, you have to go and see it." Although Lin Qing was afraid of the severity of the epidemic, he was even more afraid of the murderous girl at this time, and he didn't dare to pull her again, only to see the girl holding a knife in both hands, and slashing it down, but the city gate was still unscathed, and he made up a few knives in a row, but there was still no movement, just like an extremely weak child holding a stick and a big hard piece of wood......
Embroidered spring knife? The young man stared at the knife with round eyes and looked at it carefully, the embroidered spring knife is very light, it can be stabbed with one hand, and it can also be held with both hands to chop, this knife is used by the emperor's close attendants, and there are not a few people next to Wei Zhongxian who are equipped with how to treasure the knife, this knife body, handle, scabbard is decorated with a lot of gilt and silver, it looks more graceful and luxurious, people with high official positions, the embroidered spring knife worn by the material is more pure, is the real master of this splendid is him? The young man was scared, no wonder she always wrapped this knife in a cloth bag when she saw her on weekdays! The doubts in my heart are infinitely magnified at this moment......
However, the question at hand was how to enter the city, although the knife was sharp enough to cut off the entire horse's head, but it could not do the slightest damage to the city gate.
Putting aside all distractions, Shen Rong shouted at the girl speechlessly: "You can save your energy!" How can you enter the city with just brute force, let's use your brain! ”
Jinxiu glanced at him and responded to him angrily: "Then how do we get in?" Do you still want to dig tunnels? ”
The young man shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "I said on weekdays that your brain is not good!" If you want me to say that you have to learn from me, use more men, you usually fly the eaves and walk on the wall, can't you climb a city wall? ”
Jinxiu raised her eyes and looked at the towering city wall, "You should climb one and show me!" ”
Shen Rong smiled evilly, and took out a wide rope with a hook from his baggage.
Lin Qing nodded and said, "I didn't expect Shaoxia to carry these things with him, thanks to Shaoxia today!" ”
"Walking the rivers and lakes, naturally you have to prepare these necessities!"
Shen Rong wouldn't tell them that he had bought it at a high price from a person who claimed to be a martial arts master, and then he knew from others that he was just a charlatan, but looking at the current situation, the money was not spent!
After the three of them went up to the city wall, the first thing Shen Rong did was to lie on the side of the city wall to look at the so-called "ghost", and looked at the city with anxiety, except for the depression and chaos, there was not even a shadow of a ghost!
Shen Rong has never believed in this ghost theory, but it is not a suitable place to live, so he must find Su Liuyin as soon as possible and take her out of here.
The young man broke out in one go, but no one stopped him anymore, and went down to the city gate, but Lin Qing didn't let him go any further alone, only allowed him to observe the situation first, and then make other plans.
Lin Qing walked on the street, every once in a while, she glanced through the window, she said to herself: "This family must be a rich family, only to have such a good yard, but it's a pity that it is deserted now, and it can't live anymore, this Suizhong County is already like this......"
Shen Rong looked at his lewd expression and pursed his mouth, thinking that this Lin Qing would not be a pervert! He must like to peek at other people's privacy, but he thinks that he is a righteous gentleman, and he still has to do something for the people of the world at this moment, so he also thinks about stepping forward and asking what happened.
But I didn't expect to be stopped by Jinxiu: "I think this situation is wrong, don't act rashly, you have to take care of yourself no matter what, otherwise in this situation, if you encounter an accident, there will be no one who can save you." ”
Shen Rong listened to the girl say the most concerned words with the most indifferent eyes, and his heart was shocked, and he said, "Okay, I will protect myself!" ”
……
The room was dimly lit, only a brazier with a thin flame burning, which brought her a little warmth in this autumn cold, and in the winter of the past, there were Xing'er and Aunt Qing who sent her charcoal to ward off the cold, but this year there was no chance to do these things for herself.
The curtain hung low, and this curtain was only made of a few rags, and it had accumulated a lot of dust, and it was always a blurred appearance, and I saw that behind the curtain lay a figure who was extremely emaciated, and the woman seemed to be sleeping very unsteadily, and coughing repeatedly.
Su Liuyin didn't know why she fell into such a situation, just thought that now that she got what the Son of Heaven was worried about, why she was still sick, and the letter left by her mother had said that she would definitely suffer backlash with this "tricky cloud road", could this be the legendary backlash, and she has been thinking about a question recently, can this thing send her home, if she returns home, all the pain will be over......
Lin Xuan's heart was so anxious that he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he hurriedly turned around and went out, thinking that he must have suffered from the cold, and he wanted to go to the nearby pharmacy to see if there was any medicine left, so he left a sentence and said, "The girl can rest here with peace of mind!" It's not dark yet, and this monster doesn't dare to appear in the daytime, take care of yourself, I'll hurry up and come back! ”
Su Liuyin turned around, looked at the immature young man, and asked again, "What's wrong with me, how long will it take for you to come back?" ”
The young man said: "I don't know about this, this market is not peaceful, there is nothing on the market." I can only try my luck in the pharmacy, maybe there is any medicine, this life is the most important, the girl is sick, I don't dare to speculate, I think it has something to do with the rain! ”
Su Liuyin knew that she couldn't be reckless now, and this young man had a good heart, and it was already very righteous to be able to do this for himself, and it would be useless for him to rush into it.
"Kid...... Don't be busy, talk to me! Su Liuyin beckoned and motioned for the young man to come over, and before she finished speaking, she coughed violently again. I almost pulled out my heart and lungs.
Su Liuyin turned her face away, because there was a fire in the room, which dissipated the coldness, mixed with an unpleasant smell on her body, she felt a flush on her cheeks, and said softly: "Young man...... Can you also find me some change of clothes, I was confused a few days ago, don't be surprised! ”
The young man raised his head at the beginning of the year and said earnestly: "Girl, I don't care!" ”
Su Liuyin's heart turned, and said: "You asked me, why should I ask you, are you still busy with the epidemic and have no time to clone?" Who are you? ”
"Yes, I'm just an ordinary citizen!"
Seeing Su Liuyin's weak expression, the young man turned around and left ruthlessly, seeing that there was no one in the empty market, he burst into tears, he couldn't go back to his home, and he doubted that he was sitting right!?
However, I didn't see the boy, I saw the sun and shadow turn and waited for a long time, and I didn't see the boy come back, and I remembered my face now beyond recognition, and I unconsciously touched it, the scars were all over it, no wonder others would abandon me, such an ugly appearance, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. After so many days, it would be nice if it didn't scare others!
