Chapter 35 Escape
The heavy snow in Changping City continues, and such weather is not suitable for night walking, but it is suitable for escape.
Chu Ruojun didn't know where this was, and she didn't know where to go, her mind was full of Shen Yi's voice, if you encounter difficulties, you must come to me.
"You can trust me, and I will never hurt you."
Maybe it's the only place I can go to now without being forced into it by my father.
She touched the jade plate in her arms, and her heart was slightly calmer.
But she didn't expect the snow to suddenly turn heavy that night, almost overwhelming.
When General Chu knew that Ruojun had fled, the mountain lake ten kilometers outside Changping City had frozen three feet of ice.
General Chu was so angry that the corners of his forehead were bruised, and he raised his hand and smashed it on the table: "Bastard." β
The old lady stood there straight, her eyes were not as gentle as before, but a sharp sword out of the sheath: "You locked her in the dark room, and let people carry the coffin in to stimulate her, she doesn't run away to have a problem, if you want to say bastard, you are!" β
General Chu smashed his fist on the already crumbling table again, with remorse in his eyebrows, "I think this girl's courage is too great, she is a master who doesn't shed tears when she doesn't see the coffin, I used to be too concerned about love, this time it's just to give her some color to see, so that she sincerely knows that she is wrong, otherwise I will send someone to see her, and I don't really want to kill her." β
The old lady grabbed his sleeve and said coldly: "If Ruojun dies outside, you will be the victim!" β
In this kind of weather, let alone going out, just stay for a moment, and that girl may be buried under some snowflake.
The more General Chu thought about it, the more scared he became, the more he was afraid, the more he couldn't stay, and he didn't have time to wait for the people to come back, so he had to go out with a cloak.
The housekeeper was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground holding his legs and begged him: "What about this snowy day, don't go out, in case the young lady doesn't find it, you ...... general."
General Chu was impatient to listen to this, and kicked him on the shoulder, "You don't talk nonsense. β
Then turn around and walk out.
The snow was unusually heavy, and I couldn't see the appearance of people clearly in the past five steps, and the footprints I had just walked on were instantly covered by snowflakes, leaving nothing.
The subordinates of the Chu family carried a glass lamp and shouted in the vast snow: "Miss, Miss, where are you, Miss ......"
The doors of every house are closed, and when I hear the shouts outside, I can only sigh faintly.
The movements of the Chu family alarmed many people, including Lin Changtian, who had always been concerned about the Chu family.
Hearing that Ruojun fled in the dark, the Lin family also sent a lot of people to help find it.
Lin Changtian was even more anxious, so he put on a black fur cloak and rushed into the snow.
Suddenly, snow fell in his heart.
Why was she locked up in a dark room, and why did she brave the snow to escape, is it just because she refused to marry, so she had to pay such a painful price?
No, it won't, there must be some other reason.
Why did General Chu force her to marry him, he didn't want to delay for a quarter of an hour, whether it was related to King Qi, whether he was afraid that she would be involved in a dangerous battle.
Those groundless imaginations made Lin Changtian begin to be confused.
"Chu Ruojun-" Lin Changtian shouted hoarsely, "Where are you-"
The night wind tore through his voice, leaving only the howling cold wind to pass through his sleeves.
The first to discover Chu Ruojun was not from the Chu family, nor was it from the Lin family.
It was the little beggar she met when she was giving porridge, Nine Desolations.
Jiuhuang didn't go back, and found a tavern in the capital to be a junior there.
Although the salary is not much, there is food and drink, and there is a place to spend the winter, and there is no longer a need to crowd in the dilapidated temple that leaks everywhere and steal the cakes that are enshrined.
The last customer of the small shop left, and the shopkeeper counted the last copper coin, and ordered Jiuhuang to take a few more door panels to seal the door of the shop, and if one door was opened, it might be crushed by the heavy snow.
Jiuhuang was so cold that he shivered, walked to the door with stiff fingers and took the door panel, and said secretly in his heart: After supporting the door, you can go back to sleep, with such a heavy snow, no one will come for several days, and you can be lazy for a few days.
Thinking of this, he worked a little more neatly.
The last door panel was about to be sealed, and Jiuhuang saw a black cloud in the snow from a distance, perhaps a wild dog and wild cat that had frozen to death.
He thought about it and didn't pay much attention to it.
However, the snow around the black cloud was shaking, and he felt that something was wrong, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a person.
Jiuhuang was shocked, threw away the door panel, and stumbled over.
I only saw that Chu Ruojun's precious clothes were soaked with snow, and there was a thick layer of ice on his body, and he was huddled in the snow with his knees trembling.
The black mass was her hair that showed out of the snow.
This is the first time Jiuhuang has seen her face so clearly, at this moment she is covered with snow and water, her face is bloodless, and even her lips are pale, obviously so embarrassed, Jiuhuang thinks she is very good-looking.
Jiuhuang was stunned after seeing her face clearly, isn't this General Chu's daughter, how could she be here?
Doubts flashed, the current situation did not allow him to think too much, it was better to take her away from the snow first.
He wanted to lean down and gently hug her and carry her to the tavern, or it wouldn't be long before someone from the Chu family would definitely come to her.
He knew that his clothes were ragged and his hands were dirty, and he knew that he couldn't touch her, but he still gently helped her up, gently patted the snowflakes on her body for her, and said softly: "Miss Chu, it's okay, it's okay, when the snow stops, I'll send you home." β
He didn't hug her, but left quickly with her on his back, his pace was fast and steady, and her voice was hoarse behind him: "All over the world, I remember you, your name is Nine Wilderness." β
She paused, then said in a low voice, "Thank you, Nine Desolations." β
The feet of the Nine Desolations stopped, and his heart softened.
is obviously such a noble young lady, but she will remember the little beggar Jiuhuang who is so lowly that she can't be any more low.
Lin Changtian found Chu Ruojun lying on the back of a strange man in the east of the city.
He violently snatched her away from Jiuhuang's back, and the guard pointed the cherry red spear at Jiuhuang who was lying in the snow, and asked sharply, "Who are you?" β
Lin Changtian didn't care about him, his eyes were full of this girl.
Jiuhuang fell down in the snow, looked up at the angular face, watched him vigorously dust off the snow from her, and untied his fur cloak to wrap her.
He trapped Chu Ruojun in his arms, and his eyes softened into water.
Jiuhuang hooked the corners of her lips, it must be someone who Miss Chu knew who came to look for her.
That's good, that's good.
Chu Ruojun was lying in his arms, everyone had their own breath, and Lin Changtian also had it.
Shen Yi is a clear and cold fragrance, and only when you look carefully will you find a trace of mild fragrance, like plum but not plum, so that Chu Ruojun always thinks of the frozen lake, the morning dew on the moon flowers, and the water droplets between the bamboo leaves.
However, the smell of Lin Changtian's body is difficult to describe, not that kind of cold and faint breath, nor is it a strong choking nose, warm rather than gentle, enthusiastic rather than warm.
Every time you fall into such an embrace, you will feel warm and reassured.
Chu Ruojun remembered this familiar smell and drilled into his arms again.
"Sleep, I'll take you home." Lin Changtian hugged her tightly, and strode towards the Chu family without looking back.
Without waiting for the instructions of the young marshal, his subordinates did not dare to act without authorization, so they could only line up and leave after Lin Changtian.
The eyes of the Nine Desolations were soft, and they watched them walk away in a daze, until they disappeared.
There are subordinates who give him advice, saying that anyway, Miss Chu doesn't know anything now, so it is better to bring her to the Lin family, and then the young marshal can take the opportunity to get her.
Lin Changtian's face was expressionless when he heard this, and his subordinates thought that he agreed with his plan, so he came to his side and smiled flatteringly again: "When the time comes, the raw rice will be cooked and cooked, and Miss Chu will not promise you, young marshal, who else can you promise." β
He couldn't bear it anymore, and his eyes were filled with a cold cold, which penetrated him like a cold light, "Our Lin family, do the right thing, never do things that are dirty, since you have a dirty mind, my Lin family can't keep you, you better find another place." β
The subordinate knew that he was wrong, and hurriedly knelt at his feet to confess, "Young marshal, young marshal, subordinates are also for the sake of the young marshal, for the sake of me following you for so long, there is no merit and hard work, just spare the little one this time, the little one knows his mistakes, and he must change his past." β
Lin Changtian glanced at him coldly, "There are many generals in the Lin family, I can't guarantee that everyone is upright, but since I found out, I must not tolerate it." β
After that, he said to the guards on the left and right: "Get rid of his military status, give him some silver according to the custom, and find another high job." β
"Young marshalβyoung marshalβ" He knelt in the snowstorm, his voice terrible.
Someone couldn't bear to hear it and wanted to intercede for him, "Young marshal, he just said the wrong thing, but he didn't do anything wrong, why don't you spare him this time." β
Lin Changtian frowned slightly, his eyes blazing, "No, the Lin family army has always been known for its strict discipline and well-trained marches, since he is not right-minded, he will misbehave, and the consequences are unpredictable, even if he freezes to death and starves to death here, I can't let him return to the team again." A person's life is small, ruining the reputation of my Lin family's century-old business is big, there are all kinds of people in the Lin family's army, some are illiterate, some don't know martial arts, but if a person doesn't know martial arts, he can learn, if a person is uneducated, he can be taught, but once a person is bad, it is really hopeless. β
The man was silent when he heard this, and a sense of pride in being the Lin family army spontaneously arose, and his admiration for the young marshal was even greater.
Chu Ruojun was sent home, her eyelashes were drenched, she was soaked, Bai Zhi wiped her body with hot water with red eyes, changed her clothes, put her on the bed safely, and lifted the warm thick quilt to wrap her tightly.
General Chu stood there, and when he looked down, the girl who was stimulated by him was lying on the bed and babbling, "Dad, don't kill me, don't kill me!" β
At that moment, all his strength was lost, and only remorse and fear filled his chest.
Lin Changtian's expression had a pain of his heart being torn apart, and he frowned and looked at General Chu: "Why did the general torture her like this. β
General Chu was silent, he couldn't tell Lin Changtian why he locked her in the dark room, failing to return overnight was equivalent to losing his temper, and he couldn't let others know that Ruojun had done such a thing.
He couldn't tell him that Ruojun didn't come back overnight because he had a tryst with King Qi, a lonely man and a widow, even if he didn't do anything, a few people would listen to this weak argument.
He wanted to scare her, and before he asked the old lady to scare her into marrying her to the old man, she didn't feel it at all, General Chu wondered if the old lady had a real deal with her, she knew that she was scaring and scaring her, so she didn't care so much.
So this time, he lied to everyone, and even the old lady believed it.
But this time, he really scared this girl and hurt her like this.
This is the fruit he planted because of what she gave, he has no choice, he can only accompany her to suffer.
