Chapter 70: Escape
Yu Jin nodded and replied, "Well, be careful of slippery roads, I'm afraid this rain will get heavier and heavier." You speed up, it's dark and you can't see the road, it's dangerous in the mountains. “
"Childe, give you a stick and knock on some branches to keep the snake from poisoning." Leng Hui walked ahead, using her sword to pluck away the branches, while cutting down a stick and handing it to Yu Jin.
Yu Jin has a stick in one hand and a fan handle in the other. The two of them had walked through the forest more than once, and the road was so narrow that the old hunter was accustomed to it, and they could not find it without knowing it, and they walked quickly through the waist-deep bushes.
There was a sound of birdsong in the distance, very urgent.
"It's Ah Xiu and them, I don't know what dangerous situation is coming, and they are urging us to speed up." Leng Hui responded in surprise.
"We're moving faster."
Leng Hui tapped the branches on her toes to perform light skills, and Yu Jin followed.
"Childe, it's Childe." Ah Xiu shouted excitedly on the opposite hill.
The two of them arrived at the mountain stream very quickly, and couldn't help but gasp, the small river ditch that was more than one zhang wide, I don't know if it was due to rain, or the situation in the upstream, the water rolled down from the upstream, and the river channel was widening rapidly.
On the other side, Yan Yi, Ah Xiu, and Huawu kept retreating upward, and Yan Yi shouted: "Childe, our belt is two zhang long, you jump over quickly, and I will throw my belt to answer you."
Yu Jin immediately ordered: "Leng Hui get ready, I'll help you." Ah Xiu, Huawu, don't crowd there, go first to make room. “
Leng Hui was a little timid when she saw the tumbling river and said, "Son, you go first, I'll help you."
"Less nonsense, no more will not go out. Are you ready? Yan Yi was ready to catch Leng Hui. "The rain is getting heavier and the river is wider.
"Alright." Both shouted.
Leng Hui shouted, Yu Jin stretched out her palm to help Leng Hui's waist, and Leng Hui fell into the water when she was about to reach the opposite shore.
"Catch it." Yan Yi shouted, and the belt was thrown over with the hilt of the sword, and Leng Hui grabbed the hilt of the sword and jumped onto the opposite shore with strength.
Yu Jin shouted, "Don't stop, you go up and make room for me."
As soon as Leng Hui landed on the ground, she quickly climbed up the mountain. Yan Yi knew that he couldn't stand, so he left behind Leng Hui, and the place where Yan Yi was standing had been flooded by the tumbling river.
Yu Jin pinned the fan to her waist, threw her backpack to the opposite bank upwards, and then jumped to the opposite bank with all her strength, and when she reached the middle, she continued to jump towards the opposite bank with the help of the strength of her backpack, and at the same time shot the dagger in her hand into the stone, leaving only the dagger handle outside.
Yu Jin used his internal force, and when he reached the opposite bank, he inserted the dagger in his left hand into the stone to fix his body, and one toe was just on the handle of the dagger, the stone was very slippery due to the rain, and it could not be supported at all, and the rushing river had wet his shoes.
"Childe, hold on." Yan Yi hurriedly threw down the belt, Yu Jin grabbed the belt with his right hand and pulled out the dagger in his left hand, and flew upwards with his strength, looking back to see that the handle of the dagger he was standing on had already been submerged by the river, so dangerous.
Yu Jin said: "This place is not suitable for a long time to leave."
"Childe, put on a raincoat." As soon as Yan took off the raincoat on his body and put it on Yu Jin, he took out a piece of clothing from his bag and put it on his head, and walked forward cautiously.
Yu Jin took off her backpack in a hurry, and her raincoat was thrown on the opposite bank. The clothes on his body were already soaked and sticking to his body, and it was very cold when the mountain wind blew. The backpack with her for ten years fell into the river, but fortunately the gift to Zhuge was not in the bag, she was afraid of delaying the time to congratulate Zhuge and sent Zhang Yue to follow Zhuge to send gifts by water. There are only two daggers specially made by the master, and the dagger engraved with the master's name is left in the stone.
It was not easy to go down the mountain, and if one accidentally slipped and fell, Leng Hui helped Yujin to move forward cautiously.
Yu Jin suddenly whistled to warn, and in addition to the sound of wind and rain in the mountains, there were faint human voices. Huawu squeaked twice, he went to scout first, and let the people behind hide and wait.
After waiting for about a pillar of incense, Huawu turned back, and shouted excitedly from afar, "It's the young master who wishes to come and pick us up." “
Yu Jin's heart was hot, she didn't expect that Yu Chen would come over in such bad weather if she had never suffered hardships since she was a child.
"Speed up." Yu Jin commanded in a low voice.
Zhu Yuchen was soaked with a broken sack on his head, his clothes were hung in several places, and he shivered from the cold, and when he saw Yujin, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Yinuo, I finally saw you."
"How did you get out in this weather?" Yu Jin complained.
Yuchen walked to Yu Jin's side and naturally held Yu Jin's hand, both of them had the same cold hands. He explained in a low voice: "The evening before yesterday, Miss Xuan came with sixty carriages, saying that you suddenly disappeared from the capital and came back a day earlier than her. She set off with the convoy in a hurry, and she didn't meet you along the way. She thought you were back early, and after leaving the customs, she hurried to Shuangjue to find you, I only knew that you were in danger in the capital, and I thought you must have come back along the trail. Who knew that Fang Ji, a stupid thing, couldn't find the way, we had already turned to the present from yesterday afternoon, and we were lost here. “
Yu Jin and Yu Chen were talking while hurrying on the road, and she was very fair this time, "Fang Ji has never entered the mountains and forests, the trees here are almost the same, and it is normal for him to get lost when he comes in." Master Qiao and his men often train in the mountains, so they shouldn't get lost. “
"Childe, we really didn't know that this trail could lead to the Wei Kingdom, it was Fang Ji who followed Huawu and they knew that there was a trail, and they couldn't see the difference between the trail and other places when it rained, so they turned around here, and they didn't know where it led after a few probes." When Master Qiao heard about him, he hurriedly stood down and explained.
"Draw the guards to take people back to boil water first, you will get sick in the cold and rain, don't forget to make a pot of hot soup." Yu Jin knew that there was still a long way to go at night, there was a lack of medical treatment after getting sick here, there were seventy or eighty miles away from the nearest city, and it was difficult to walk on the dirt road when it rained, so where was there a doctor willing to come here to see a doctor.
Yujin and the others arrived at the rudder when it was just dawn, and the rain was still falling unhurriedly. A large pot of mutton soup has been boiled, and the bath water has been boiled.
"Childe, first drink a bowl of mutton soup to warm your stomach, and then go take a hot bath, the water has been poured into the wooden barrel for you." Hua Wule went out of the kitchen door to greet him, with two bowls of mutton soup on a tray in his hand, and he was afraid of entering the house in the rain and putting them on the table.
"Whole lamb there?" Yu Jin asked with a displeased face, she was afraid that her subordinates would harass the people nearby.
"Hui Gongzi, I heard that Miss Xuan sent someone to the city yesterday to buy it, and she also bought a lot of daily necessities and vegetables." Hua Wu replied respectfully.
Yu Jin nodded, for Xuan Suling, simple life is unbearable. She is not short of silver, she is not short of manpower to use, and she refuses to deal with a meal, not to mention that there is a shortage of everything here, it is estimated that she refuses to use the dishes and chopsticks here, and she is helpless to live here and not to buy things.
Yujin eats delicious food when she has delicious food, she can make do with coarse food without food, and she can endure hunger for one meal or two, but she changes her clothes and puts them all in her bag, and she can't do it anyway without clothes to change, she is particularly annoyed to wear wet shoes. The shoes made by Wang Sixian are really comfortable to wear, she deliberately brought an extra pair, but unfortunately they fell into the river in the bag.
"Childe, I didn't bring shoes, the clothes will be worn for you first, you lie on the bed after taking a shower and don't move, I'll bake your clothes and shoes." Leng Hui helped Yu Jin change out of her wet clothes and let Yu Jin go in to take a shower, and she went to bake her clothes and shoes.
Yu Jin asked strangely, "What about Ah Xiu?"
"Ah Xiu knows that you have this night dress left, I heard that Miss Xuan pulled a few carts of cloth, she went to find a needle and thread, and wanted to help you make a dress to wear first."
"What a place, nothing." Ah Xiu complained and walked in, saw Leng Hui hugging the wet clothes and said, "Give me the clothes, I'll wash and dry them, and hand me the shoes, you have to brush off the mud and wash them." Miss Xuan must have a lot of clothes, but unfortunately she is too petite to wear them even if she borrows them. “
"You're so confused, can Childe wear women's clothes now?" Leng Hui whispered to blame.
"Hehe, I forgot about it when I was excited, I'll go do the laundry." Ah Xiu stuck out her tongue and ran out.
After taking a bath, Yu Jin put on cold clothes, and could only hide in the quilt, and couldn't go out without shoes. In fact, they don't have many things when they go out because they don't have many things on horseback, so they can only hide in the house on such a rainy day, and their clothes will get wet when they go out without rain.
Xuan Suling knew that Yu Jin was back, she frowned and looked at the rain outside, she was most annoyed by the wet weather when she went out, looked at the expensive embroidered shoes on her feet, and sat at the table with a sigh.
This cottage is a progressive courtyard, according to the mountain to dig a cave and live, the more up the cave is smaller, after the joint efforts of the bandits of the past generations, the village is divided into three layers is not small, but too simple.
Yu Jin didn't expect to fall asleep in bed during the day, and when she woke up, it was already dark, and the rain outside had not stopped.
There was a faint discomfort in the stomach, it seemed that the small day was coming, "Leng Hui, do you bring a lot of things?" Give it to me first. “
Leng Hui is a careful person, she will only prepare more things, not less. For example, she brings two toothbrushes made of animal hair with her master, otherwise Yujin can only brush her teeth with her fingers.
"I'm going to make you medicine, you drink it first to prevent stomach pain. Young Master Zhu had a cold and cough, but fortunately Miss Xuan brought medicine, and he was lying on the bed sweating after drinking the medicine. Leng Hui sent something, took a bowl of brewed medicinal juice in his hand, and told Yu Jin the news of the inquiry by the way.
Yu Jin said: "Although he is a military general, he has been pampered since he was a child, and his body is delicate, and he is not as solid as us, so it is strange that he has been drenched in the rain for so long without breaking the wind." Everyone else is fine! “
Leng Hui smiled and said, "It's okay." Qiao Duo's mouth was not closed for a day, and he sent the silver to the house of the fallen soldier, and those people were very moved, saying that when they met the kind master, they took back more than ten capable young men from those people's homes. Now that he heard that Gongzi had brought back three hundred carriages from Wei, Qiao Helm was so excited that he was walking with excitement.
Miss Xuan brought sixty horses pulling carts, and he was afraid that the horses would rain and sent people to take them all to the cave where he lived and took care of them carefully. He said that although the horses were all retired old horses, they were all docile and much better than ordinary horses. There are also a few foals that will give birth to foals in the future, and the more he looks at them, the happier he becomes. All the soldiers who followed Qiao Helm were very happy, they were still skeptical that they didn't know if the dart game could eat, and they were afraid that they would choose the wrong path and let their families starve, but now they held their heads high as if they had picked up a treasure, and they couldn't close their mouths all day long. “
