Chapter 56: The Lantern Festival Night Changes
The old lady seems to be in good spirits today, and has sat up, and the girl on the side is feeding her porridge. Seeing Tiyun and them coming, a kind smile appeared on the old lady's wrinkled face.
"It's really rude to let you come so far for the New Year." Tears flashed in the old lady's sunken eyes, "It's just that my body is no longer good, and I don't think I can live for a few days. ”
The girl on the side brought Qinghe's set of clothes, and the old lady stroked it with tears, "There is such a girl in my family, pity my white-haired person to send black-haired people...... Now that I'm back, let's find a recent day to set up a mound. ”
The girl at the bottom nodded and walked away with her clothes.
Tiyun lowered her head and leaned down and grabbed the old lady's bony hand, "Grandma, you have to take care of your body." If, after the mound is erected, Aunt Kiyowa comes back to see you, it will be very uncomfortable to see you like this. ”
"Which girl in the village are you? How do I look familiar......" The old lady stroked Tiyun's hair and looked at Tiyun's face in her hand.
"Grandma, I am the youngest child in the village, my name is Tiyun." Tiyun smiled, "Grandma, Yun'er heard that you like to eat mung bean cakes from Kyoto Akiji, so I brought them to you." But you have to take care of your body before you can eat. ”
"Hey, well......" The old lady smiled on her thin face, looked at Tiyun suspiciously, and said again, "But I really seem to have seen you somewhere...... Where is it? ”
The old lady said, and then looked up at an aunt who was feeding her porridge, "Yinxin, isn't it?" ”
The aunt named Yinxin looked at Tiyun and said to the old lady, "Grandmother may have misremembered, Yinxin has never seen this girl." This girl is so beautiful and lovely, if I had seen it, I would definitely not forget it. ”
Aunt Yinxin is really good at talking. Tiyun was very happy when he heard this.
"I remember it...... It was the girl who gave me a painting, and said whose portrait ......" The old lady frowned, and her fingers kept pointing back and forth, "It seems to be in my room...... You help me find it. ”
Seeing that the old lady was delirious again, Yin Xin comforted her for a while, and then waved his hand to let Tiyun and them go out first.
Two days later, it was the Lantern Festival, and they couldn't go back to celebrate the Lantern Festival. The housekeeper of the Meng Mansion came to leave them for the Lantern Festival, and Tiyun wanted to take a look at the customs of Minshan County by the way, so he agreed.
It's just a pity that Tiyun always feels that he sees things vaguely at night these days, so he only goes out during the day to see the local landscapes and people, tastes the local food, and can't go out at night.
"You said it wouldn't be the sequelae of my previous blindness, but even if it was the sequelae, why did it occur at this time?" Tiyun shook his head and blinked vigorously.
"How come, it is estimated that it was a long trip a few days ago, and you got motion sickness, so it will be a while and a half to slow down." Drunken and weak, he said, "I'll go and bring you tea." ”
In the past few days, Drunken Di has drugged Tiyun according to Wen Li's instructions, and now it is the last time. She poured the powder into the teapot and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Yin Xin suddenly came in from outside, and saw her pouring something into the teapot, so she walked over and said, "What did the drunken girl put in the pot just now?" Is it because the girl is not in good health? ”
"Yes, it's Tiyun motion sickness, this is the medicine powder of our villa." Drunken Di was startled when he heard the voice, and stammered.
Yin Xin nodded, took the medicine boiled on the stove over there and left.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, the old lady's body suddenly failed, and the whole house had no intention of celebrating the festival anymore. Meng Zhizhao had already returned during the day, and after seeing Tiyun hastily, they hurried to stay in front of their mother's bed.
The old lady went that night when she was not in good health. The whole house was crying, and Tiyun sat at the table and wept secretly.
White-haired people send black-haired people, and black-haired people send white-haired people.
At this time, it was late at night, and the rooms had not yet slept, some were dressing up the old lady's body, and some were going to the county seat to buy supplies for the deceased.
When Drunken Drops and Tiyun were about to fall asleep, a girl knocked on the door. When I opened the door, a girl sent a rolled painting, and said to Tiyun with red eyes, "This is a painting that the old lady ordered someone to find, and said that it was returned to its original owner." ”
Tiyun thanked him and took it, and was about to open it when he suddenly heard the sound of someone screaming in the house. Tiyun and Zuidi glanced at each other, and hurriedly ran out of the door with the painting.
But I saw that several guards in the house were killed by arrows, and their bodies were lying in the corridor. Tiyun walked all the way over, and suddenly an arrow broke through the air and shot at her, and Drunken Drop pulled out his long sword to block it, and it was able to shoot down the arrow.
"There are assassins! There are assassins! Someone in the mansion was running over with a loud shout, and bumped into Tiyun, "Girl, run!" Killed! ”
At this time, more than a dozen black-clothed people fell from the sky, holding shiny swords in their hands, and rushed to each room, kicked open the door and rushed in, killing anyone they saw. There was a wail in the room, and some people rushed out of the room, but they were slashed to death halfway, and the blood mist sprayed out in an instant, splashing everywhere, and the whole house was filled with the smell of blood.
As soon as he saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses and reacted. Immediately pulled Tiyun cat and squatted down to hide in the corner under the eaves.
Drunken Di muttered, "What happened, could it be the enemy of the Meng family?" ”
Tiyun was frightened when she saw this situation, her eyes widened and she was about to shout, but she quickly covered her mouth with drunken eyes, "Don't make a sound!" ”
Tiyun cried and shook his head, at this time a person appeared behind him and dragged Drunk's clothes, Drunk's eyes were sharp, and he drew his sword and was about to cut it behind him, but when he turned around, he saw that it was the fourth child and a few guards in the village.
"Fourth Senior Brother?"
The fourth child and the drunken drop quickly exchanged a few gestures, and the fourth child covered the two of them and slipped out through the small gate of the garden, and then hid in the stable next to the house. There were many horses in the stable, and Tiyun and Drunken Drops got into it, squatting on the ground and secretly observing the outside.
"Yun'er, stay here first, don't make a sound." The fourth child and Zuidi glanced at each other, Zuidi nodded, and the fourth child took the sword and led his subordinates away.
"The fourth senior brother settled us first, and now he will go back to save people. We don't know what happens inside, but we don't care about the lives and deaths of others. Besides, it's our own family. ”
"But first we have to keep you safe first, just in case, I'll always be there for you." Drunken drops whispered.
Drunken Di has been training with his sister and brother in the past few years, and he always has some experience in coping. Tiyun was holding her hands on the ground and gasping for breath, she had never experienced such a large slaughter scene, and she couldn't accept it at this time.
Lu Gaoqiu masked his face, looked at the corpse of the Meng family, frowned, and said, "Go find that woman quickly, don't let her run away." ”
"Yes." The other masked men replied.
At this time, Lao Si slashed towards Lu Gaoqiu's back with a sword light, Lu Gaoqiu leaned forward, used his toes as the focus point, and rushed out several meters ahead, and another guard behind him fell into a pool of blood with a sword light.
The fourth child waved the sword in his hand, the sword wind flew out with a sharp sword qi, and the long knife in Lu Gaoqiu's hand cut off the power of several swords with a flick, and then rushed up to fight.
The two parties fought in the courtyard of the house, and the men in black were divided into two groups, one group was fighting with the fourth group, and the other group had already gone to find Tiyun.
"Find that woman!" Two men in black approached them in their direction, and walked lightly to the edge of the stable. Feeling the enemy above coming step by step, the drunken drop covered Tiyun's mouth and nose, and the whole person held his breath and broke out in a cold sweat.
The two of them didn't dare to come out, and Tiyun's whole body trembled. The two men in black inspected the stables one by one, and at this moment, the horses that had been awakened were in a commotion, and they all took a few steps in place, and Tiyun's hands were propped on the ground, and they were trampled by the horses' hooves for a while.
It hurts! Tiyun covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming, sweating in pain.
Seeing Tiyun covering his mouth and gritting his teeth, Drunki reached out and touched the horse's hooves. She looked at Tiyun, then at the man in black who was slowly coming over there, and said to Tiyun, "Take care of yourself!" ”
As soon as Drunken Drop pushed away the horse's hooves that were holding down Tiyun's hand, the horse barked. Drunken drops immediately got up, drew his sword and swirled around, and rolled out of the stable.
"They're here!" One of the men in black shouted.
Tiyun turned around and leaned on the railing of the stable, looking out at the darkness. Her eyes were blurry, and she couldn't see things clearly, but she was very anxious in her heart. She blinked vigorously a few more times, and suddenly, her gaze returned.
Under the moonlight, drunken dripping his sword and fighting hard, but after all, his two fists were invincible to his four hands, and after receiving dozens of moves, he gradually lost his physical strength. At this moment, a bright sword above his head was slashed directly from above, and Drunken Di flashed sideways, although he could dodge, his arm was still scratched, and a bloody mouth appeared in an instant.
Another man in black took advantage of the situation to cut her leg, drunk and fell down in pain, gasping for breath and kneeling on one knee, seeing that one of the men in black raised the knife and was about to cut it down, she picked up the sword and struggled to resist.
"Be careful!" Tiyun screamed.
Drunken Di looked back and saw another man in black behind her with a sword stabbing her in the back. She couldn't dodge the enemy on her abdomen, her pupils dilated instantly, and she stared at the masked man with the sword.
said that it was too late, and at this time, a domineering sword qi suddenly broke through the air, and the arm of the black-clothed man with the sword was cut off, and blood was splashed drunk.
Drunken was stunned for a moment, then looked back.
Yunhe was riding on a horse, holding a long sword in his hand, and the sword qi was still lingering around. The wind blew, rolling up his cloak and turning in the wind.
