Chapter 46: Fighting for Life

After the lightning and thunder, the gloomy sky seemed to be torn open, and began to pour water down with a bang.

Pei Bao'er wiped her face, but wiped her hand with pale yellow water, she knew that her disguise was in vain. Thinking about it again, this year's rain seems to be a lot more than in previous years, and it is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, but looking at this crackling posture, I am afraid that it is as cheap as grass mustard.

If it weren't for worrying about Liu Yun's accident, Pei Baoer would have felt that this abandoned mansion was a good hiding place. But she couldn't take that risk, especially when Liu Yun probably put herself in danger in order to save Yan'er.

She originally thought to take Yan'er to the place where the people and officers and soldiers gathered, and then see how to inquire about Liu Yun's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she probed out, her eyes bumped into a person head-on, who seemed to have a leg wound and was stumbling to flee here.

This man was short in stature, dark-skinned, and wore shoes of strange shapes, more like sandals from later generations. There was blood on his face and clothes, and he was holding a knife in his hand, and the knife was stained with blood, and even the raindrops of beans could not wash the knife clean, maybe the blade drank too much blood, or the previous blood had coagulated.

The man muttered something in his mouth, and rushed towards Pei Bao'er with a long knife in his hand.

Before coming, Pei Baoer had done enough psychological construction. When she is in danger, she can also force herself to become worse and do things that threaten ordinary people with knives. However, when she really encountered such a desperate villain, she still couldn't help but panic.

Thinking she was going to die, she could only obey her instincts, crouch down as fast as she could, and turned to the right.

At this moment, the most fortunate thing for her is that she did not bring Yan'er out with her, but came out to investigate the situation first. If this is the place where she died today, she only hopes that the cheap son will not be stimulated to run out, and he will also become a ghost under the knife.

The strange thing is that when the blade was slashed on the body, Pei Baoer didn't feel the pain, but felt that the position of the shoulder and neck was numb, and there was a warm liquid gushing out, and it soon snaked down the shoulder blade and the position of the chest.

Perhaps it was because she had lowered her body in time, and the sharp blade had not cut off half of her head directly, but had slashed heavily into her left shoulder.

After Pei Baoer found out about this, she immediately realized that the other party was staring at her, as if she was stunned by her mistake.

Just as the man raised the long knife again and was about to slash it, he was horrified to find that this little man with a yellow face and thin muscles actually found a dagger out of nowhere, and directly entered his chest with lightning speed!

Because Pei Bao'er suddenly burst out, the whole person stabbed forward quickly with the dagger, just dodging the thief's last blow. The long knife paused behind her left shoulder, and then fell to the ground with a clatter.

Taking advantage of the thief's stunned half a second, she pulled out her dagger fiercely and stabbed it inward, again, and again.

Soon, the thief's eyes were wide open and he was out of breath.

The rain was getting heavier.

Pei Bao'er whimpered, trembled and pulled out the bloody dagger, washed it in the stagnant water on the ground, and still stuffed it into her boots. Then, with his right hand, he pressed the bleeding left shoulder, walked a few steps in a vague manner, and was about to enter the small courtyard, but suddenly heard a chaotic footstep behind him, as if several people were running over.

She sighed in despair, if they were all sea coars, I was afraid that she would not be able to leave all the corpses today.

Because the wound on her shoulder was too deep, she had just assassinated the thief and exercised vigorously, without any bandaging, and had been drenched in the heavy rain, which was simply worse. At this time, the blood was flowing loudly, and Pei Baoer was already top-heavy and a little dazzled.

Pei Baoer didn't want to take the risk of exposing her cheap son, so she turned around slowly, barely bracing up and looking at the person.

The figures kept shaking, as if they were talking quickly, and she finally put her mind at ease when she heard something that wasn't babbling. At the last second of her coma, she pointed to the courtyard behind her and said "Help, save my son", and fell into boundless darkness.

I don't know how long it took for Pei Baoer to slowly regain consciousness, but she couldn't open her eyes.

Strangely, she felt as if her consciousness and body were separated, the former unable to control herself from floating upwards, while the latter was heavy, as if something was dragging down. The weirdest thing is that after trying to struggle, she bizarrely found that she could see another "self" lying on the bed with her eyes closed. The disguise on his face was naturally gone, his face was pale, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his clothes seemed to have been changed, and the wounds on his shoulders were bandaged.

Well, it looked like he was floating above his body in the form of a soul body.

Could it be that she is dead?

As soon as this thought surfaced, Pei Bao'er heard someone speak, but it reached her ears a little vaguely, as if there was a transparent film separating her from them.

“…… Don't be stupid, how could she be you......"

She seemed to be a little familiar when she heard the voice, and when she looked at it, it was the Lord Yushi who had a short beard that was not suitable for him, but the person he was talking to was the Lord Yin of the boy and the girl.

Pei Bao'er looked at the two people talking in front of her bed a little puzzled, and said in her heart, it is understandable that she was saved by officers and soldiers, but how could these two masters condescend and come over to visit themselves? Moreover, the Lord Yin was still very excited, pointed at himself and said something, and then, as if arguing with Lord Yushi.

She tried hard to listen to their quarrel, but unfortunately all she heard was "blood connection" or something, and her consciousness fell back into the dark, silent coma she had seen before.

Pei Baoer thought in a daze, maybe she killed a lone thief and made a great contribution, so she could enjoy the VIP treatment of visiting the patient? They're probably talking about how to reward themselves? Well, if that's the case, real money is the best, she doesn't need a torii or a plaque, really......

She remembered that she had fallen just as the sun was setting, and that it was already dark when she woke up.

Pei Baoer was not woken up by pain, but she was woken up by hunger.

Two cooing sounds were heard, and she touched her hungry stomach and opened her eyes weakly. Then I soon found out that this was not my home.

The memories before the coma flooded in instantly, making her brain seem to be a little deprived of oxygen, and she immediately became nervous. Because, she didn't see Yan'er by her side.

"Yan'er? Anyone? ”

A middle-aged woman with a raw face moved when she heard the sound, and when she came in, she still had a bowl of hot things in her hand.

"Lady, are you awake? You have been in a coma for two days and must be hungry, so drink some soup to warm your stomach and cushion your stomach. ”

Pei Baoer took two sips of her hand in a daze, and there were questions in her head.

She asked directly: "This aunt, dare to ask who you are?" Where am I? What about my son? ”

The round-faced woman explained with a smile: "Xiao Langjun is playing outside, this is San Lang's private residence, the lady doesn't have to worry, it's not too late to freshen up and see Xiao Langjun again." Ah, yes," he paused, and said in a slightly complaining tone, "Saburo has gone to the government office." In the past few days, Haikou has come, and there is a mess everywhere, and the child is so busy that he can't even take care of eating. Looking at this day, I guess I have to send him over again......"

Pei Bao'er was even more confused when she heard it, when did she meet such a San Lang? Or an official?

Ah no, she does seem to know such a person, could it be Qi Heng? But isn't he a patrol imperial history who travels everywhere, how did he change careers and do something else?

At this time, Yan'er heard the news that she woke up, and ran in with her little short legs and threw herself into her arms, causing her to accidentally pull the wound on her shoulder again, and she grinned in pain. Xiao Yan'er was both scared and guilty, and with the fear of staying in a strange place for the past two days, she cried under multiple stimuli.

In this case, Pei Baoer couldn't think at all, so she could only put aside her previous guesses and start clumsily coaxing the bear child in her daily life.

At the same time, there was an atmosphere of gossip in the east of the city government.

Ya Servant A bit his ear and said to B next to him: "Have you heard, my lord went to suppress Haikou this time, and by the way, he also saved the beauty of the hero!" ”

Ya Shi Yi said proudly: "Hey~ Who doesn't know this, it's spread all over the yamen, it was me that day, and the little lady I personally sent back to the adult's house!" However, the carriage was tightly covered, and I only saw a side face, and it was indeed well~"

The official A made a gesture of gratitude: "God is pitiful, our adults finally don't have to beat the single~"

Ya Gong C pointed out sharply: "How did I hear that the little lady is with a child!" ”

Ya Shi Yi looked shocked: "Impossible! Our adults are high-spirited, and we will never be able to rob people's women! That little lady must be a widow! ”

Ya Gong A also echoed: "That is, it is common for widows to remarry these days. It's just that our adult family background is not ordinary, and I don't know if this little widow can ......."

A few people were gossiping, but suddenly felt a cool air coming from behind them. At the same time, there was also a smiling male voice: "Master Miao, these people are very sharp-tongued, send them to Wuli Town to appease the people." Although there are not many casualties this time, well, as a parent official, this official wants to soothe their feelings......"

Pei Zimeng's handsome face tightened, and it wasn't until the three of them walked away with sad faces that he burst out laughing.

It is said that three women play a play, according to him, these men's singing skills are also full, and their imagination is even richer. He just ordered two people, and was responsible for escorting the injured and unconscious her and the child to his private house to settle down first, and only a day had passed, and it was like this. If it was convenient for him at that time, he directly asked people to be placed behind the government office, and I don't know if there would be a queue of onlookers such as "ten thousand empty alleys"!

Thinking of the wild speculation in these mouths just now, he couldn't help but pout.

Even if this little lady is not the sister who is the same mother as him and whose blood is thicker than water, it is impossible for him to do it in front of such a face similar to himself!

I don't know if she's awake?

Pei Zimeng's heart moved, stretched his waist, and wanted to sneak back to the private house to take a look, but he was stopped from behind.

"Wait."

He frowned, quickly regained his calm expression, slowly turned around to meet the person, and smiled politely: "Uncle Xiao, what's the matter with me?" It's time for lunch, will you eat in the yamen, or will you go home with me? ”

Xie Congyuan said with a straight face: "Don't talk about these things that you have or don't!" Let me ask you, have you reported the matter of this crackdown? ”

Pei Zimeng said lazily, "Not yet, aren't you going to report together after finishing the finishing work?" ”

This appearance was not very satisfactory in Xie Congyuan's eyes, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked at no one around before he said in a deep voice: "Your transfer of the garrison from the southeast battalion this time is indeed a change of opportunity. But don't forget, Min Guogong is not a good stubble, if you don't take the lead, he will definitely take credit for himself here, you ......"

Pei Zimeng suddenly laughed, but there was not much smile in his eyes: "Why is Uncle Xiao also such a mother-in-law now?" If you take the credit, you will take the credit, isn't there still you, the inspector of the imperial history, who can argue for me, unless, you see that Min Guogong is powerful, and you don't want to go against him, and you want to sacrifice my little nephew and me......"

Xie Congyuan shook his head helplessly: "You, you, always look so careless, it's really not like you at all......" Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped.

Pei Zimeng's face also changed suddenly.

The atmosphere between the two froze, and after a while, Xie Congyuan spoke again.

"Is the woman awake? Have you asked? ”

Pei Zimeng raised his eyebrows and asked: "Actually, you just want to know if I am dead, right?" ”

He stared at the men in front of him, and the midday sun shone on their heads, causing him to feel dizzy for a moment, as if he saw the helpless self he had been three years ago.

At that time, Xie Congyuan was also red-eyed, and after telling him the bad news, he persuaded him to mourn and change.

But he never believed that his sister was really dead!

He and she are the same mother, and they are twins. I have been getting along day and night for nearly ten months since I was in my mother's womb, and I have always had a heart since I was a child.

Sister A has not been in good health since she was a child, but he is very healthy all day long, but every time Sister A is seriously ill to the point of being bedridden, he does not need to be told by others, he has a premonition in his heart, and he will be dizzy and weak inexplicably in those days. After Sister Ah married into the palace, she had a miscarriage, and that night he had a bizarre abdominal pain all night, and there was no doctor for the medicine, and it was not until a few days later that he got the news that he knew the secret.

Ordinary little things are like this, if she really did as those people said, the carriage had an accident and fell off the cliff of Zhushan and died, how could he not feel it at all?

But the face on the corpse that was sent back was indeed Sister A's, which also became one of his nightmares.

He left the country and did not want to return to the capital, just to get away from those dark memories. But he never thought that he would meet her here!

Pei Zimeng walked away quickly, leaving Xie Congyuan behind. His hand gently brushed over the left side of his chest, the place where he had twitched strangely the previous afternoon, and his eyes slowly changed from confused to determined. Her injuries were also near that location, so he didn't recognize the wrong person, did he?
