Chapter 833: Madness
In fact, where does the emperor not count in his heart? The last time Gu Chengyu handed over the treasure map, Lu Chen didn't know about it, which shows that Gu Chengyu didn't trust other officials.
Since Gu Chengyu repeatedly promised that he would not worry about his life, the emperor also went with him.
After all, Gu Chengyu is not such a frivolous person, and the emperor can also see from Gu Chengyu's performance on weekdays that this son is very sorry for his life.
Since Gu Chengyu already had a plan, he just had to wait for the good news in the capital.
Xiao Er saw that the people over there had already left, and even the loess ash raised on the ground had fallen, so he dared to mutter.
"It's really strange that these two people are not dumb, they don't even say a word." He shook his head and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he couldn't help but be interested, and he was interested in finding out any useful information.
"Little brother, after these two came, they didn't even talk to you?" Gu Chengyu pretended to be curious and asked Xiao Er.
"That's right! Don't you know, these two have been here for two hours. When I ordered, it made me confused. I reported the name of the dish, but the two of them didn't respond for a while. In the end, I watched and served four dishes to the two of them, and they didn't object, do you think it's weird? ”
This little second is also a talker, seeing that Gu Chengyu wanted to ask, he hurriedly talked and talked to Gu Chengyu.
"It's rare to be so reticent!"
Gu Chengyu also smiled, there were only four dishes, which was actually not much, and these two people had eaten for two hours.
It's too long for those who are in a hurry.
Even if you want to stop and rest, it won't take long, right? Sounds like waiting for someone.
"Isn't it? Neither of them spoke, so they sat here, and the old man drank water vigorously, and the man didn't move his chopsticks much. Here? You see, the dish hasn't moved much. I took it upon myself to wrap the rest of the sauce hare for him, otherwise it would have been wasted. ”
That Xiao Er thought of the man just now, and had to sigh at the other party's generosity.
I gave two taels of silver and paid for the meal, so there was one or two or three dollars! I didn't say that I would pack the uneaten cooked food on the table, and only let the remaining silver buy some rabbit meat.
Such a strange person is very rare even on this official road that comes and goes.
Hearing Xiao Er say this, Gu Chengyu was more sure that the other party was waiting for someone, and he couldn't say that he was waiting for himself.
Mingmo and they also noticed that something was wrong, adults would not ask these questions for no reason, it seems that the two people just now did have a problem.
The three exchanged glances, each raising their vigilance.
The four people on the table on the side also glanced at each other, and the leader was guessing in his heart that the two people just now couldn't be waiting for someone.
Who are you waiting for? It can't be them, right? But the master sent them to Jiangnan this time, it is a secret, could it be that any of them leaked the news?
The leader glanced at the other three people present, and all three of them shook their heads into rattles.
They have been following the leader for so many years, and they will naturally guess what the leader thinks.
The leader thought about it and shook his head, impossible! These three people are their own henchmen, how could they betray so easily after everyone has been sharing ups and downs for so many years?
He swept his gaze to Gu Chengyu's side, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, was he waiting for them?
......
Qian Huichun looked blankly at the surging river in front of him, he sat on the ground paralyzed, without the slightest joy of being reborn after the catastrophe.
"My lord! What can I do? This time the embankment must have collapsed, you see, there is water everywhere! ”
Chen Zhao glanced around, and they had to climb the mountain to avoid the flood.
During this time, the horses refused to go up the mountain, so they had no choice but to abandon the horse and climb on foot, and then the horse did not know where it was washed away by the river.
Chen Zhao thought of his family, the embankment collapsed so suddenly, although his house was on high ground, it couldn't withstand this flood!
His youngest son was only five months old, and his father, mother-in-law, and eldest son might have died in the river.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad. He wiped his tears from his sleeve and gritted his teeth at the sudden flood.
Qian Huichun was already in a trance at this time, what should I do? He didn't know what to do!
His father, wife, and children were still in the backyard of the prefect's yamen, and that place was naturally flooded by the river. But after all, it's far away from the river embankment, and I can't say that one or two of my family can survive.
As for the young toddler and his wife, he did not dare to think about it, nor did he want to think about it.
He comforted himself that it was better to die! Anyway, if something like this happens, the court will not let him go. Not only will he be put to death, but his family will not be able to escape either.
Qian Huichun suddenly remembered the news he had sent to that person before, and now that Changtianfu had broken the embankment again, even if that person wanted to protect him, there was nothing he could do.
Who else can save themselves now? It's gone, no one can save it.
"My lord! When we ran, there were still servants running with us, and they must still be alive. Let's wait, they won't come to us. ”
Chen Zhao is eager to know the life and death of his family at the moment, but now that there is a vast water everywhere, how can they find people?
Without waiting for Qian Huichun's response, Chen Zhao didn't have time to take care of it, he thought for a moment.
"No, sir! We've been here for four days now, and if we wait, we'll freeze to death if we don't starve. Let's go to the other side of the mountain, and there will definitely be no disaster there. When you get out of the mountain, immediately find a carriage and go to the state capital of Linjiang for help! ”
Chen Zhao couldn't wait, he didn't want to wait any longer.
"It's over! Finished! It's all over! Qian Huichun suddenly stood up, raising his hands and waving them, as if he was crazy.
Chen Zhao was taken aback by him, he didn't understand why the adults were suddenly so crazy.
Obviously, although I looked depressed before, it was quite normal! "My lord! What's wrong with you? ”
Qian began to cry and laugh, and with his disheveled hair and crumpled official uniform, he looked like a madman.
Chen Zhao panicked, shouldn't the adult be crazy? If so, what should he do?
"It's all over!" Qian Huichun cried and laughed for a while, as if he was tired, and then sat down on the ground again.
Chen Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, my lord can't have anything to do now! At this time, we must go back to preside over the overall situation, and those people who have not been flooded may have been in chaos at this moment.
"My lord! Let's go! Everything that can be eaten around us in the past two days has been eaten by us. If you don't have weapons in your hands, you can't hunt even if you want to, and it's so cold at night, we'll freeze to death here. ”
It's in the mountains, and the temperature plummets at night. In addition, there is water all around, and there is no clothing to keep out the cold, so just making a fire can't drive away the cold on your body.
Qian Huichun looked at Chen Zhao fixedly, and then closed his eyes and lay on the ground.
