Chapter 232: Crippled
Du Yuniang told Qiu Caidie before that she would go to see her after the New Year.
But after the Chinese New Year, the Du family's business became more and more prosperous, and she has not been able to get out.
Taking advantage of the deserted shop, Du Yuniang wanted to go to see Qiu Caidie, greeted Liu, and she went out with a jar of honey tea.
There were very few people on the street, and the wind hurt on the face.
Du Yuniang brought a cotton cover (gloves) and pulled the scarf around her neck up to cover her nose and mouth.
There are poems: The spring breeze in February is like scissors.
It's really like scissors! Blowing on the face, it almost cuts the skin.
Du Yuniang was wearing a hat, and she walked quickly with her head down, trying to dodge these piercing wind knives as much as possible. When passing through the mouth of an alley, Du Yuniang suddenly stopped, because she heard a very strange sound coming from the alley.
Du Yuniang was reborn, and her ability to predict danger signals is very high, and she has the ability to seek good fortune and avoid disasters. If it was a change to the usual, after she heard something wrong, she would definitely speed up and leave, and she would not stay, but this time, Du Yuniang walked abnormally into the alley.
She heard a suppressed moan~ moan, a muffled voice, as if she was deliberately suppressing something.
Du Yuniang's heart was beating very fast, she slowed down her pace and slowly walked towards the alley.
The narrow alley, as if there was no end, only the sound of her own heartbeat was in Du Yuniang's ears. The man seemed to be aware of her presence, and deliberately held his breath, and the previous wheezing and moaning ~ moans became a lot lighter.
There is no end to the alley, crooked, and the sight is not very good.
Du Yuniang knew that the person was not far from her, she walked about a dozen steps, then turned to the left, and before she could see what was in front of her, she was shrouded in a black shadow, and then someone pulled her, and she staggered forward.
Du Yuniang threw herself against the wall and almost hit her nose. Before she could say anything, a cold object was pressed against her neck.
As she tore it, her scarf fell off.
Du Yuniang didn't have to think about it to know what was on her neck, although the sharp weapon was not unsheathed, but she seemed to have heard its humming sound.
"Don't move!" The man's voice was very soft, but Du Yuniang heard it all at once.
It's Yang Zheng.
His voice, she knew all too well. It seemed that the voice had penetrated deep into her blood, even if the two of them were far away, Du Yuniang could hear his gasping ~ clearly.
"Yang Zheng, are you injured?"
Yang Zheng frowned slightly, he also heard Du Yuniang's voice, the strength in his hand loosened a little, and the sword was taken down.
Du Yuniang felt the pressure disappear, and quickly turned around, "Are you injured?" She looked Yang Zheng up and down twice, and really saw that there was a blood stain on his shoulder.
Yang Zheng's face was a little pale, his lips were pale, and he was in good spirits.
Du Yuniang gasped and ignored Yang Zheng's unkind eyes.
Her eyes kept staring at Yang Zheng's wounds, and she even wanted to reach out and touch them.
It must have hurt.
It's a pity that before she could make a move, Yang Zheng moved all of a sudden, he put one arm against Du Yuniang's neck, and suddenly pushed her against the wall, and the other hand firmly grasped Du Yuniang's wrist.
The jar of kumquat honey tea in her hand fell to the ground.
"Say, how do you know my name is Yang Zheng?" His eyes were very sharp, and there were even some murderers, the two of them were very close, and Du Yuniang could even see his own shadow in his eyes.
Du Yuniang then remembered that although they had met a few times and had spoken, they had never mentioned each other's names.
If Yang Zheng knew his name, he would still be forgivable, after all, he had been to the noodle restaurant a few times, and he might have heard his family call him.
But if you know him, it's hard to explain.
Du Yuniang pretended to be calm: "The first time you came to our house to eat noodles, it was the time you scared the gangsters away, and it was the second time your companion came." It's the bearded one. ”
Yang Zheng heard her mention Hu Xian, so he didn't move.
"When the bearded man first came, he said he had a good friend and mentioned you! At the time, I didn't know how to remember it. The bearded man said that you must like our noodles and will bring you to eat noodles next time. Later, when you came together, I guessed that your name was Yang Zheng......"
There is nothing wrong with what she said, but it is not entirely worth believing.
Yang Zheng didn't know what to think, so he let go of her.
Du Yuniang relaxed at this time, "Why are you injured, do you need me to call you a doctor?" Where do you live and I'll send you back? ”
Yang Zheng only said: "You go, don't be nosy." He clutched his chest and staggered forward, not knowing where he was going.
Where can Du Yuniang rest assured, she can't take care of the jar on the ground, and hurriedly follows behind Yang Zheng.
Yang Zheng turned around and looked at her silently, he didn't speak, but there was a sense of alienation in his body that rejected people thousands of miles away.
Du Yuniang is not stupid, she can naturally feel it! He doesn't want to let himself follow, there are things he wants to solve by himself, and in his eyes, he is not a helper, but the one who does bad things.
It's just that Du Yuniang can't rest assured at all.
She didn't look closely enough, but she saw that there was blood on his shoulder, but now that she looked closely, she found that there was a small truncated arrow there, and he must have cut off the handle of the arrow himself, and the blood flowed out, and the broken arrow was stained with blood, so she ignored it.
He is like this now, although he is not seriously injured, but he is also hindered in his movement, if the enemy is found, where can he still live!
Du Yuniang completely forgot that in her previous life, until she died, Yang Zheng was still alive and well! So even if Yang Zheng was injured, he would not lose his life at all.
Caring is chaotic, where can Du Yuniang think of this.
"It's so cold, you don't go to the investment store, and you're injured again, how can you stand it." Du Yuniang is very persistent, she knows that Yang Zheng is walking darts outside, and she spends all her days licking blood from the knife, after a long time, there will definitely be enemies! Jianghu people seek revenge, either you die or I live, where is the good stubble.
Yang Zheng frowned slightly, not knowing if the wound was painful, or if he felt that Du Yuniang was too trembling.
"Well, I mean, if you're not convenient, do you need me to help you find a safe place?"
Yang Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked her up and down a few times, as if he was very skeptical of her words.
Besides, the word safety came out of her mouth, which was really contemplative.
This girl is incomprehensible.
Du Yuniang pretended to be calm, but she was actually nervous.
"I, I think you saved us before, if I can, I also want to help you once, and the two don't owe each other." After saying this, Du Yuniang couldn't wait to bite her tongue off.
If the two don't owe each other, it means that there will be no intersection in the future, and it is not good for her to talk about Yang Zheng's kindness. But she also knows that Yang Zheng doesn't like to owe favors, and only this reason can make him accept his help without guilt.
"What safe place can you know?"
Yang Zheng thought about it, but decided to listen to her opinion, because if he expected it to be true, those people would soon chase after him.
"I know of a place that is particularly secret, and there are very few people in this town who know about this place."
The corners of Yang Zheng's eyes twitched slightly, and he was a little curious now.
Du Yuniang wrapped her scarf around Yang Zheng, blocked the wounds on his face and shoulders, and took off her hat and buttoned it up for him.
She took the small jar, took advantage of the lack of people on the street, first went to buy a few steamed buns, and then went to the pharmacy to buy a little knife wound medicine, and then turned around and took Yang Zheng to an abandoned warehouse in the south of the city.
There are few people in the south of the city, only a few blacksmith shops, some scattered households, and most of the rest are warehouses.
This abandoned warehouse is not small, and a large lock hangs from the wooden door.
"Can you open the lock?" Du Yuniang thought about it for a while, and said, "It's okay to cut the lock!" ”
Yang Zheng took out his sword and slashed at the lock at once, the sword was a treasure that was as sharp as clay, and it broke the lock at once.
Du Yuniang picked up the broken lock and put it in her arms.
When I opened the door, I was greeted by a puff of dust and a musty smell in the warehouse.
The house was full of messy stuff and a few boxes.
Du Yuniang closed the door of the warehouse and led Yang Zheng to the back of the warehouse.
The location of the warehouse is very remote, and for ordinary people, it is desolate, and even makes people feel desolate and terrible. But it's not safe, it's not secretive enough, and if they chase it, they'll probably search such a place.
But in this warehouse, there is an authenticity.
This matter came unintentionally from Du Yuniang in her previous life, when she had already married into the He family, because it happened in Taoxi Town, so she listened carefully.
This warehouse belonged to a wealthy merchant in the town, which was originally used for stacking goods, but then the rich merchant somehow fell into despair, and the whole family sold everything they could sell and returned to their hometown. This warehouse was not sold, and there was originally an old slave guarding here, hoping to exchange it for a few dollars, but who knew that the old slave later fell ill and died, and the warehouse became ownerless.
After a few years, the warehouse was confiscated and the tunnel was discovered.
These things were all heard by Du Yuniang in her previous life, and now the old slave should be gone, and there are still a few years before the warehouse is confiscated.
Where is the tunnel entrance and when was it discovered, Du Yuniang remembers it clearly.
Now, it comes in handy.
Du Yuniang walked to a corner, lifted one of the floor tiles, and pushed away the soil under the floor tiles, revealing something like an iron ring inside. She pulled slightly, and a hole suddenly cracked in the wall on the left, and the hole was so dark that only one person could pass through.
This design is more ingenious, and most people would not think that the tunnel entrance will be on the wall.
Du Yuniang said: "Wait a while before you go in!" "I don't know how long the tunnel hasn't been opened, and if you rush in, you will probably smoke to death.
"You know a lot!"
In the final analysis, Yang Zheng is still questioning Du Yuniang.
Du Yuniang was no longer nervous at this time, she said: "You love to enter." ”
The two of them stared at each other for about a quarter of an hour before Yang Zheng took the steamed buns and the wound medicine, lowered his body and got into the tunnel.
Du Yuniang closed the entrance and paved the floor tiles back, she was afraid that people would see the traces, so she deliberately blocked the floor tiles with some sundries.
She was still not at ease, thought about it, and simply walked to the door and opened the door of the warehouse.
Du Yuniang has something in her heart, where can she still take care of going to see Qiu Caidie! She hid at the edge of the warehouse, keeping an eye on the situation around the warehouse.
Before long, someone sneaked into the warehouse.
Du Yuniang's eyes widened for a while, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, the man came out of the warehouse, covered in dirt and cursing in his mouth.
Not long after, another man came, dressed in rags and looking like a beggar.
The beggar rummaged through the warehouse with even more movement than the previous one, but apparently he did not find anything useful, and left empty-handed.
Du Yuniang was relieved.
I don't know who Yang Zheng's enemy is.
The warehouse is full of dust, and people walking around will definitely leave traces. Others may not care about these things, but those who are bold and careful will definitely be able to distinguish one from the other. It is difficult to cover up the traces of their activities, but it is easy to destroy.
When they came to the warehouse, someone must have seen them, perhaps taking them for thieves.
I must want someone to come in and see if there is a treasure hidden here.
It was best for those two men to go into the warehouse one after the other, rummage around, and help them cover up their traces.
However, this is not completely reassuring.
Du Yuniang thought about it, and simply appeared and walked out.
She found a fairly remote place, looked around, and when she saw that there was no one, she threw the jar in her hand to the ground.
The jar was torn apart, and the ground was debris. Du Yuniang picked off the cotton cover, lay on the ground, closed her eyes, and pressed her left hand on the splinters.
The pain in her heart came, blood gushed out, and there were several more wounds on her palm, of different depths, and there were broken pottery shards inside.
Du Yuniang barely got up, her arms hanging down, and staggered back.
Blood trickled down her fingers and dripped onto the ground.
Du Yuniang thought as she walked, those people might follow these bloodstains to find her, after all, she appeared in the south of the city today, many people saw it, and she also bought medicine for the injury. She should find a place to prove it.
She thought of the Qin Family Medical Hall.
When passing by a blacksmith shop, Du Yuniang deliberately stayed for a while, those men were striking iron, it was about to start spring, many people had to repair farm tools in advance, and the business was busy, and no one noticed her.
Du Yuniang took advantage of their unpreparedness and threw the lock hidden in her arms into the melting furnace.
When Du Yuniang arrived at the Qin Family Medical Center, she startled the young man, she injured the hand, the skin and flesh rolled up, and the wound was very deep.
The young man was busy calling Doctor Qin, but he didn't want Jiang Hanxing to be the first to appear.
He looked at Du Yuniang's hand and couldn't help asking, "How did you get it?" ”
Du Yuniang was weak: "I accidentally fell and broke the jar, and my hand was cut." ”
Doctor Qin put down what he was doing and came to show her injuries.
"Fortunately, it's just a flesh wound, not a tendon injury, fortunately!"
Du Yuniang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She really didn't want to be crippled.
