Chapter XXVII
The three of them stayed near the Ya of Liaoyang County for four days in a row, and they didn't find anything abnormal, these days, that Qiaoyun also came out a few times, but she either went to the tailor's shop to make clothes, or went to buy gouache rouge, except for the fact that every time it was a huge sedan chair to send it, there was nothing suspicious. It's hard work for Cheng Muyou and others, it's summer these days, there is no cloud in the sky, a little wind, the sun is like a bright mirror, the ground is about to melt away, and even the knowledge is wilted, only occasionally making a few broken cries on the branches.
But Cheng Muyou and they had to hide in a dilapidated house next to the county government for twelve hours a day, the house had no roof, the sun shone down, and it was turned into a stove, and the people in it became the barbecue in the oven, their faces were black and red, their necks were sunburned, and they were rolled by sweat, which was a pinprick pain.
Of course, his right ear is a little hotter than the other two, and the layer of silver hair on his body is like a high-quality mink coat, which not only absorbs heat but also is not easy to dissipate heat.
So even though it was almost evening, the sun had begun to slowly retract its afterglow, and the sweat that fell on its body still soaked a small circle of water on the ground, although it was quickly dried by the sun, but Cheng Muyou still noticed this. So he took off the water bladder from his waist and wanted to hand it to his right ear, shaking it with his hand, but found that the water in it had already been drunk, and he didn't know what to do, Xu Ziming took a wooden barrel with a broken corner and got into the house with his waist and said to him, "My lord, while the well water is still cold, you and this little brother hurry up and drink some, and then wipe your face." ”
"What about yourself?" Seeing him running with sweat, Cheng Muyou was a little distressed.
"I've just drunk it at the well." Xu Ziming said as he put the wooden barrel on the ground, and subconsciously rubbed his left hand with two fingers missing with his right hand, and Cheng Muyou let out a simple smile.
The right ear was already extremely hot, and when he saw the bucket of water, he rushed over and held the water in both hands and sent it to his mouth, "Gu Dong Gu Dong" drank most of the bucket, and then remembered Cheng Muyou, so he moved the barrel to his side with some embarrassment, "My lord, you drink it too, be careful not to get hot." ”
Cheng Muyou put the rest of the water into the water bladder, "Keep it, I don't know how long it will take, maybe I will use it." After speaking, he glanced at Xu Ziming again, "Brother Xu, did you feel a little uncomfortable with your hands after walking with the barrel for so long just now?" ”
Xu Ziming hurriedly shook his head, "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, how can you be so squeamish, and these days there are adults to take care of me, and most of the injuries on my body have healed. ”
After drinking enough water in his right ear, his mood was much better, and he took over with a hippie smile, "Marching to fight?" Brother Xu must have been a brave man in the army when he was young, so it should be okay to have one enemy and three enemies. ”
These words were like a blow to the head, Xu Ziming was stunned, and after a while, he said, "Xiao...... Little brother, what do you say, I've never been in the army......"
The right ear blinked, and the mouth was puzzled, "But weren't the two fingers you missing were shot down by a bow and arrow?" ”
If what he said just now was a big stick, then now this sentence is a meteorite falling, Xu Ziming's whole body seems to be frozen, only a pair of eyes will move, and now, his eyes fall on Cheng Muyou's face, dodging, uncertain, and his heart seems to be suffering a lot.
Cheng Muyou slowly raised his head, glanced at Xu Ziming, and then looked at his right ear, the expression on his face was extremely relaxed, "Where can it be an arrow wound, he was injured by a sickle while doing farm work, and his right ear is also when you look away." ”
The right ear was about to refute, but suddenly stopped, he remembered the words of Yan Niang's entrustment before leaving: everything can be seen through without saying it, and it is not clear that it is not penetrated, and the things in the world must always be a little lacking in order to persevere. So he grinned, "I was wrong, but Brother Xu, the Song and Liao sides did fight a vicious battle here, and I heard that the battle was extremely fierce, and the Liao army even summoned two fierce beasts, almost breaking the last line of defense of the Song army." ”
After Xu Ziming was shocked, he was rejoicing in his heart, and now when he heard his right ear ask, he suddenly came to his senses, and repeated what he said to Cheng Muyou to his right ear, and at the end, he shook his head and sighed, "I don't know where that Tsing Yi boy is?" He was able to take the lives of those two fierce beasts in an instant, and if he was still here, I am afraid we would not have to go to such great lengths. ”
"He's really that good?" asked so in the right ear, but there was a layer of smugness on his cheeks, as if he wanted to hear Xu Ziming praise that person a few more words.
Xu Ziming fulfilled his wish: "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard that he walked into the pile of rocks with a pu fan, calm and calm, like a leisurely stroll, such a bearing, such courage, not like a god descending to earth." ”
The right ear nodded with satisfaction, and her eyes narrowed, "Yes, it seems that she didn't say anything big to scare me this time." ”
Xu Ziming was stunned, "Little brother, what are you talking about?" ”
The right ear was just about to cover up, but he saw that the side door of the Liaoyang County Ya was pushed open from the inside, and a figure flashed out from inside, looked left and right a few times, and moved to the northwest.
Several people lowered their bodies, glanced at each other, and ran out of the broken room with their waists bent, quietly following the figure, and following her all the way forward.
It was Qu Zhengkun's second wife Qiaoyun who came out of the county office, but this time, she didn't go out in a sedan chair as before, and she didn't even bring a maid with her, and she walked extremely carefully along the way, and after walking a few steps, she looked back, as if she was afraid that someone would follow her.
Cheng Muyou and a few people didn't dare to follow too closely, hiding in Tibet along the way, a few times, and almost lost people, but fortunately, the sun had gradually set in the west, and the sky was getting darker and darker, Qiao Yun also slowly relaxed her vigilance, and no longer looked back from time to time, so although it was thrilling along the way, she could still see the familiar figure walking in front of her.
It's just that she has gone too far.
Cheng Muyou watched Qiao Yun go out of the city gate and walk towards the west, and couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart. In the twilight, the black image of the mountain is a huge monster, lurking in the shadows, as if ready to attack at any moment. But Qiao Yun was not afraid, and walked briskly towards the black mountain, with firm and tireless steps.
