Chapter 219: Jingzhou City Changes
After leaning in for a while, Wei Ning actually slowly fell asleep.
Wei Ning didn't sleep deeply, and in a daze, he suddenly heard a noisy sound.
"Huh? What happened? Hearing the sound, Wei Ning immediately opened his eyes.
It was pitch black, and the oil lamp on the table had already burned out, leaving only a thick layer of white wax dripping on the table.
"Girl, girl!"
Wei Ning was about to get up, when suddenly he heard Xianglan's voice outside the door.
"Come on in!" Wei Ning hurriedly said.
The door squeaked open, and Xianglan came in with a wind lamp, and a small piece of dark yellow light suddenly lit up in the dark room.
"What's wrong, what's going on out there?" Wei Ning asked as she got dressed.
Xianglan looked at Wei Ning, and muttered a few more times when the words came to her mouth. It seems that I don't know what to say.
"Anyway...... I don't know exactly what happened, but I was halfway through my sleep in the house, when suddenly Zhiniang came knocking on the door and asked me to quickly call you up, let's get out of here quickly! Xianglan said.
"Leave?"
Hearing Xiang Lan's words, Wei Ning was suddenly blindsided.
Okay, why do you have to leave? And, if they leave now, where will they go?
Time does not allow Wei Ning to ask more. Xianglan helped Wei Ning pack her luggage briefly, and Wei Ning hugged her son and followed Xianglan to the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Zhi Niang and Zhang Xing were already waiting. Seeing Wei Ning coming out, Zhi Niang hurriedly stepped forward and said to Wei Ning anxiously: "Girl, you have to come out, hurry, let's get out of here!" ”
Wei Ning hugged her son, who was still asleep in swaddling clothes, and looked at the sky. It was dark and dreary, and there were no stars on the dark canopy. A gust of wind blew, and Wei Ning was shocked to realize that he was actually in a cold sweat!
"What the hell is going on? Okay, why do you want to leave all of a sudden? Also, Ling Feng hasn't come back yet! Wei Ning asked.
"Girl, there's no time to explain too much. The city of Gyeongju is broken. Madame, I have arranged for someone to withdraw from the other side. Let's get out of here now! Zhi Niang said as she took Wei Ning's arm and walked towards the door.
There was already a horse-drawn carriage parked outside the door. When Wei Ning heard Zhi Niang say "the city is broken", she stumbled and paused.
"The city is broken...... Ling Feng, what about Ling Feng? Wei Ning lost his mind for a moment and looked at the carriage in front of him.
"Leave him alone, now that the city is broken, there will be officers and soldiers coming to search the nearby mountains soon, and we must get out of here before dawn!" Lin Changsheng walked out from behind the carriage, came to Wei Ning, and said to her.
Wei Ning looked at Lin Changsheng and saw that his hair was messy, and his left shoulder was stained red with blood. A pair of eyes glowed brightly against the torches.
"You, your shoulders ......"
"Madam, don't talk about it, get into the carriage quickly! Dr. Lin's injuries still need to be bandaged! Yushu held a torch on the side and said to Wei Ning.
"Don't say it, Liuwang, hurry up and help Mrs. up!" Seeing this, Zhang Xing stepped forward and said, and at the same time pushed Zhiniang and Xianglan to the front.
Wei Ning wanted to ask again, but she didn't have a chance. They were soon pushed into the carriage.
The carriage is not big. Wei Ning held the child, squeezed with Xianglan and Zhiniang, and the space was barely possible. After Wei Ning sat down, he didn't forget to look at the son in his arms. Fortunately, the little one slept soundly and was oblivious to what was happening outside.
"Madam, sit tight, let's go!" Liuwang sat on the wheels of the car and raised the whip in his hand.
Xianglan sat next to Wei Ning and hurriedly supported Wei Ning.
"Don't worry, girl. The lady and the young man were escorted away. We'll catch up with them and we'll be able to meet them soon! Xianglan said.
Wei Ning nodded, feeling that the carriage was starting to move. The mountain road was bumpy, and the carriage not only carried the three of them, but also carried luggage in the back, and it was really difficult to walk.
"Where are we going?"
Although it was pitch black outside, it was impossible to see clearly. But Wei Ning could clearly feel that they were walking towards the mountain, and from time to time there were branches sweeping through the window of the carriage, making a "rustling" sound.
"Dr. Lin said that there is a cave deep in the dense forest of this mountain, which is very hidden, so we will avoid it there for the time being!" Zhi Niang said.
Wei Ning pondered for a moment and remembered what he had read in the book before, when the country was about to break, a large number of people would flee to caves in the mountains and forests to escape the war.
Although I experienced war when I was young, this situation was far less serious than it is now. Because at that time, there was still the blessing of Wei Guogong.
Thinking of Wei Guogong, Wei Ning's thoughts gradually drifted away, and now the war in Jingzhou City is spreading, Wei Guogong, I don't know what happened to him?
"Girl, we're here." As Zhi Niang's voice sounded, Wei Ning woke up from his thoughts. Only to find that the carriage had stopped.
With Xianglan's support, Wei Ning got out of the carriage. It was dark all around. The mountain wind was fierce and made people shiver.
Yushu and Liuwang held torches and cleared the way a short distance ahead. Xianglan helped Wei Ning, Zhiniang and Liuwang walked in front, Yushu walked behind Wei Ning, and several people formed an encirclement and surrounded Wei Ning in the middle.
The ground was full of gravel and weeds, and around it were thorns taller than a man. Several people cautiously shuttled among the thorns, walked for a long time, and opened a thorny thorn in front of them, Wei Ning saw a big black hole in front of him, bottomless.
"We're here, hurry inside!" Yushu said.
Walking into the cave, I walked some distance. Suddenly, I heard the sound of gurgling water. With the light of the torch, Wei Ning discovered that there was actually a small waterfall in front of him!
It was almost dawn and the waterfall was splashing down the cliff. Wei Ning looked up along the waterfall, and saw that the sky was already white...... It turned out that this waterfall was under a cliff.
"Madame, we are now going to walk through the waterfall. The road in the middle is slippery, so you have to be careful! Liuwang said in front.
Wei Ning nodded, and followed them along the moss-covered stone path. The mountain wind under the cliff was violent, and the splash of the waterfall was very cold, wet on Wei Ning's face and body little by little, and several people cautiously walked through the waterfall step by step, and when they reached the opposite bank, their clothes were all soaked.
"Come on quickly. Changed my clothes! Xu's voice rang out. Wei Ning looked up and saw Xu standing in front of them, his face full of anxiety.
"Mother!"
By the light of the torch, Wei Ning saw a large area of blood on Xu's forehead, and his heart shrank violently, and he quickly ran to Xu's front and took Xu's hand.
"I'm fine. Ning'er, look at you, your body is soaked. Hurry in, I've lit the fire. After Xu finished speaking, without waiting for Wei Ning to ask, he took Wei Ning's hand and walked straight forward.
Wei Ning followed Xu Shi for a few steps, and saw a pile of firewood burning inside, and Brother Hao was squatting beside the fire, stretching out his hands to sit and roast the fire.
"Sister!"
Seeing Wei Ning coming in, Brother Hao hurriedly stood up and ran towards Wei Ning.
"Little Ancestor, slow down!" Xianglan saw Brother Hao spread his feet and run, and her heart couldn't help but tremble. Involuntarily, he let go of Wei Ning's arm and leaned down to hug Brother Hao.
"Brother Hao, my sister is holding my little nephew, don't make trouble, go back and sit down!" Seeing this, Xu scolded him.
Wei Ning couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu's family, feeling that Xu's family seemed to be different from before.
Brother Hao heard Xu's reprimand and pursed his lips unhappily. But he obediently sat back by the fire.
Xu pulled Wei Ning and wanted Wei Ning to sit down by the fire. Wei Ning was naturally very cold, but for the sake of the child in his arms, he had been trying his best to endure it. Just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly caught a glimpse of another person in the corner.
"Who?" Wei Ning was startled and took a step back.
"Ning'er, it's me."
A familiar voice rang out. Wei Ning looked at it and saw clearly that the person sitting in the corner next to the fire was actually Lin Changsheng!
"Senior brother?" Wei Ning shouted in a lost voice. wanted to take a step forward, but was stopped by Lin Changsheng.
"You, don't come here. Dry your clothes first and be careful of catching a cold. Lin Changsheng said.
Wei Ning stopped, and after a closer look, he found that Lin Changsheng's body was covered in blood, and trace by trace soaked through his entire clothes. The place where he sat was covered with hay, and the hay was covered with blood.
Shocking...... Wei Ning seemed to hear Lin Changsheng's panting in pain.
"What the hell is going on?" Wei Ning turned his head, looked at Xu, and asked.
"We were chased and killed on the road. Fortunately, Dr. Lin and Zhang Xing arrived in time. Brother Hao and I have nothing to do, it's Dr. Lin, who was seriously injured. Now Zhang Xing has gone out with Qi Hui and Ah Tao to find medicine for Dr. Lin. Xu said.
"Chase?" Wei Ning looked at Xu, and his body couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Who is being hunted down?" Wei Ning then asked.
"Ning'er, it's okay. It was just that I met a few officers and soldiers on the way. It is estimated that it is a mountain search. They found the trail. Fortunately, Zhang Xing and Ah Tao are strong in martial arts, and there are no major problems. Lin Changsheng said with difficulty.
Wei Ning pursed her lips, feeling that the corners of her eyes were a little sour. Holding back her tears, she handed the child in her arms to Xu.
"Mother, help me hold the baby. I'll give my brother a pulse. Wei Ning said to Xu.
Xu Shi nodded and took the child from Wei Ning's hand. Hugged in his arms. The outer layer of the swaddling clothes was soaked with water. Fortunately, Wei Ning was tightly wrapped, and the inside was still dry. After such a toss, the little doll in the swaddling clothes woke up early, opened a pair of big black eyes, pursed her lips, did not speak, and looked at Xu.
Xu sat down by the fire and coaxed the child softly. Wei Ning came to Lin Changsheng and squatted down, reached out and grabbed Lin Changsheng's wrist.
Lin Changsheng looked at Wei Ning, feeling that his head was getting more and more dizzy, and his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred.
