Chapter 126: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea
After entering the city, the first thing Mu Yu did was to go to the shop of rouge gouache and buy two boxes of white-colored gouache, and then she instructed the guards who came with her, "You go to the nearby market and buy some meat that is not very good, the rotten one is the best." ”
"Miss, what are you going to buy rotten meat for?" Biyue knew that her young lady must have paid some attention, but this carrion and rouge gouache couldn't be connected at all.
"You'll find out later." Mu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth, and took Biyue to a deserted shop, to speak, it was not that the shop was deserted, but there were no customers in this shop, and the shop was also lifeless, the shop was gloomy, and the atmosphere was a little weird.
When the shopkeeper saw Mu Yu, he was not in a hurry to greet customers, sat on his old chair, and asked lazily, "What is Miss going to buy?" ”
"Buy a coffin." Mu Ao looked at the store, "You can have it in the store, I want two pairs." ”
"The coffins in this store are all ordinary coffins, and if the lady wants to be good, she needs to customize them." The shopkeeper leaned forward and stood up, leaning slightly on his back, slowly walking towards the back hall.
"I don't need a good coffin, as long as it can hold people, the deeper, the better." She didn't ask for much, just to fit those medicinal herbs.
"Deep?" The shopkeeper looked at Mu Yu up and down with a puzzled look, nodded and pointed to the backyard, "There are also deep ones, but they are a little more expensive." ”
"Okay, you see if that's enough." Mu Yu took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and put it on the table happily, how much can an ordinary coffin be worth.
The shopkeeper looked at the silver on the table, his attitude eased a lot, and he nodded at Mu Yu, "That's enough, but let me say it, this coffin is exquisite, but the deeper the better." ”
"It's fine." She's here to hold medicinal herbs, and of course the deeper the better.
Seeing that Mu Yu had made up his mind, the shopkeeper didn't say anything, but chatted and asked, "The girl looks at her eyes, she doesn't look like a person here." ”
"I'm really not here, I'm going to Xiaowan, passing through here."
The shopkeeper paused in his hand and said in a muffled voice, "Xiaowan is not a good place now, so it's better not to go to the girl." ”
"What's wrong with Xiao Wan?" Mu Yu pretended not to know.
"I have done sin, and I have been damned by God! I advised the girl not to go to that place, because she would not be able to come back if she was careful. ”
"Write more store reminders, no, I'm just going to bury my relatives." The shopkeeper thoughtfully transported the coffin to the city gate, and the guards who bought carrion at this time also followed.
When Mu Yu entered the city just now, the guards guarding the city took a second look, but they didn't expect that after a while, she came out again, and they naturally came forward to ask suspiciously.
"What the hell did you do in town? How did you get into the city and come out again? ”
Mu Yu pretended to be sad and lowered his head, "Brother Guard, bear with me, my two elder brothers were seriously ill on the way home, I originally thought that when I got to this city, I would find a doctor for them to treat their illness, who had failed to hold up to these two elder brothers, and went halfway, I couldn't let them expose their corpses to the wilderness, so I came into the city and bought two coffins." ”
The guards frowned, still feeling that Mu Yu was a little okay.
The shopkeeper who pulled the two coffins stood aside, sighing, "Official, this girl is not easy along the way, with two sick brothers, you can do it, let her go." ”
Mu Yu bit his lower lip, made a look like he was going to cry, took out the silk handkerchief on his chest and wiped the tears that didn't exist, and didn't say a word.
The guard guarding the door waved his hand impatiently and let him go, but Mu Yu didn't let the store continue to send it down, and let the guards around him pull the coffin and walk into the woods.
"Miss, if you stuff some money into the guard guarding the door, he shouldn't embarrass us." Bi Yue felt that even if the guards were allowed to let them go now, when they entered the city again, it would inevitably be another check.
"What are you afraid of, he has to be able to find out." Mu Yu chuckled and looked at the oiled paper bag in the guard's arms, "Did you buy the meat?" ”
"I bought it, as Miss said, this meat is already a little rotten and starting to stink." The guard opened the oiled paper bag, and a sour smell welled up in his mouth and nose, making people feel uncomfortably nauseated.
"Well done." As they walked back to the carriage, she asked the guards to lay all the herbs on the bottom of the coffin, and then spread a cotton cloth on top of it, which was once soft.
When all this was done, she took up the idea of the other three guards, and she picked up two of the slightly thinner ones, called them to her, and took out the rouge gouache she had just bought.
The two big men were well-behaved like two innocent little white rabbits in front of Mu Yu, with big innocent eyes, they were wantonly fiddled with by Mu Yu, and finally painted the appearance of people who are not ghosts or ghosts, Mu Yu patted the gouache on his hand with satisfaction, and nodded to the two with satisfaction, "Okay, you can go in." ”
The two innocent guards looked back in amazement, looked at the coffin and then at Mu Yu, and once again confirmed Mu Yu's intentions.
Mu Yu nodded at them seriously, "That's right, I will wronged you for the time being, and lie down." ”
The guards who got on the thief ship could only obey Mu Yu's orders, and climbed into the coffin neatly, but this was not over, Mu Yu also put the already sour and rotten meat in their clothes, and then covered the coffin board.
The sour and rotten meat smells sick to the stomach under normal circumstances, not to mention in such a cramped coffin, you can imagine how tormented these two guards must be.
"Let's go, let's go into town!" Mu Yu walked in front, and the remaining two guards pulled the carriage and carried the two coffins, and once again arrived at the city gate.
The guards at the door had long been tired of it, "Why are you back again?" ”
"My lord, I'm really sorry, I want to send my two brothers home for burial, this city is the only way, please make it convenient for you." Mu Yu said softly.
The guard guarding the door knocked on the coffin board, "Open it and take a look!" ”
After getting Mu Yu's permission, the open coffin wafted out a trace of rotting and unpleasant smell, and the two people lying in the coffin were pale with pale faces, and there were patches of bright red on their skin, I don't know what it was.
Seeing this, the other guard covered his mouth and nose, nervously pulled the other guard away, and said, "What kind of illness do you two brothers have, hurry up and cover the coffin." ”
Mu Yu shook his head and sobbed helplessly, "I don't know what the disease is, the two people who are good and good suddenly collapsed, and they didn't even have time to find the doctor, tell me, my lord, why am I so pitiful!" ”
"I think these two people seem to have the epidemic in the south, let them go quickly, don't infect us." The later guard whispered.
Everyone was afraid of the epidemic, they glanced at each other, and coaxed Mu Yu and their group to leave quickly.
It wasn't until he walked far into the city that Mu Yu found a corner and released the two guards who were stuffed in the coffin.
The two of them rushed out of the coffin, gulping in on the fresh air, suffocating in the coffin.
"You two hurry up and find a place to wash your faces, and we change horses and continue on our way." Those who stop them do not know how many means there are, and they must leave quickly, lest they have too many dreams at night.
The plan was to catch up with Xie Chongning on the fifth day, but the next day Mu Yu and they rushed overnight, but it was half a day earlier than the estimated time.
Xie Chongning led a large army to drive in the silent forest, all the horses marched at the same speed, and the sound of horses' hooves was naturally regular, and there was a different sound of horses' hooves behind them, which could be heard quickly.
There were not a few horses, and all of them were affected by the hooves behind them, and they couldn't help but look back.
Zhang Wei tilted her head sideways and looked at the carriage coming in the distance suspiciously, but on the carriage, it seemed to be a coffin? "At this time, there are still people rushing from the north to the south?"
Xie Chongning was silent, until the carriage behind him was getting closer and closer, and his face that had not changed for thousands of years changed slightly, and those four people were all guards in his mansion.
He slowed his march with the reins in his hand, waiting for the guards behind him to catch up.
Biyue, who heard the sound of horses' hooves, also lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing a small black head, and immediately shrank back, happily telling Mu Yu, "Miss, we have caught up with Master Xie, and they are in front." ”
Xie Chongning saw Biyue's head at a glance, the reins in his hand were pulled to the right, and the sweaty BMW under him immediately understood what he meant, turned around and walked to the carriage, "Why are you here?" ”
When the horse was close to the carriage, he did not hesitate to prop himself up, and flipped onto the carriage, and the carriage sank slightly downward.
Mu Yu looked at Xie Chongning, who opened the curtain, dressed in a black suit, with heavy gauze covering his face, even the long-distance journey of many days did not make this man fall for a moment, but was full of coldness.
Seeing Xie Chongning, her hanging heart fell to the ground, she swallowed her saliva and smiled with relief, "I brought you medicine." ”
Xie Chongning's face softened, he tore off the gauze on his face, and put it on her face without allowing her to refuse at all, "It's dangerous here." ”
"I know it's dangerous here, but if this medicinal herb can't be delivered, there will be no safe place for the Qing Dynasty." Mu Yu let the man put on a veil for her and raised her eyebrows.
"Someone in the court is making a mistake?" Now that this girl appeared in front of him, he was completely clear, "What does Fang Xiao do to eat?" ”
"Don't blame Fang Xiao, you are not in the capital, he is facing the accountability of the cabinet alone, how can he have a chance to get out." This Dali Temple is in dire straits, Fang Xiao has to hide the fact of his absence for Xie Chongning on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to deal with other affairs, there is a person with Xie Chongning's ability in this world, I am afraid that he is the only one.
"How did you get here?" Xie Chongning lowered his eyes, and there was a slight dark blue under Mu Yu's eyelids, but he was afraid that he hadn't been able to rest well in the past few days.
Speaking of this, Mu Yu had to smile proudly, "Divert the tiger from the mountain and hide from the sky and the sea." ”
