Chapter 11 Antecedents and Consequences
Li Zongliang gritted his teeth and was about to speak again, Wei Shuisheng gently pulled him, looked at the little leader, and asked with a smile: "This big brother, do you have to leave tonight?" Our brother is leaving, I don't know when I will be able to come back, there are always some things to pack up, and a few elder brothers always have to go to say goodbye, or the eldest brother will leave a place name, our brother will go to the eldest brother early tomorrow morning to find you, do you think it will be successful? ”
"Alas!" The little leader sighed and waved Wei Shuisheng with the back of his hand: "This brother, it's not that the eldest brother doesn't give you convenience, and he is pressed on the top." The little leader turned around and patted the thick booklet held by an officer and soldier next to him: "This one, tonight, no one will fall, all of them have to be pulled to the camp, tomorrow before dawn, you have to practice, I know that your brother will come back late, big brother I have been waiting until now, if you don't arrive tonight, big brother and I will have to be hit with water and fire sticks!" Let's go, don't be rude, you can pack up your things, my brothers and I are waiting outside, hurry up, brothers are tired for a day! ”
The corners of Li Zongliang's eyes twitched, Wei Shuisheng squeezed his arm hard, and asked with a smile: "Then thank you big brother, big brother's surname?" ”
"Don't be expensive, surnamed Niu!"
"Brother Niu, where are we going to wait a while? Where to practice tomorrow? Brother Niu, we have a sister-in-law who is sent to my aunt's house in the city, and I always have to ask my neighbors to explain where she is going. ”
"That's just as well!" The little leader trembled his legs and nodded: "Wait a while, I will go to the North Camp of the Guards and stay for one night, not far from the North Gate, and I will go out of the city as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow and go to the North Camp to practice!" ”
"Thank you Brother Niu, the eldest brother and a few brothers are waiting outside the door first, and our brothers pack up a few clothes, and then say hello to the next door, and go with Brother Niu."
"You don't have to pack your clothes, being a soldier is to eat food and wear clothes, and you can't wear your clothes when you pack them, just pack up your silver!" As he spoke, the little leader waved his hand and led several officers and soldiers to stand in the courtyard.
A few people didn't dare to close the door, Li Zongliang motioned to Li Zonggui to look outside, and he and Wei Shuisheng retreated to the corner next to him, and said in a low voice: "The four of us have gone to be soldiers, what should I do?" It can't be done! ”
"Well, I don't want to be a soldier!" Wei Shuisheng turned his head to look at Li Erhuai, Li Erhuai waved his hand again and again: "I'm with my eldest brother, if my eldest brother doesn't go, I won't go either!" ”
Li Zonggui looked outside, waved his hand without looking back, Li Zongliang took a deep breath, motioned to Li Erhuai to pack up his things, he was silent for a moment, looked at Wei Shuisheng, Wei Shuisheng looked at Li Zongliang, nodded slowly, Li Zongliang turned around and pulled Li Xiaoqi, who was nervously looking at the two of them, and explained in a low voice: "As soon as the city gate opens tomorrow, you will go out of the east gate and keep going, not far from the city, there is a land temple, we went to it in the spring, do you remember?" Li Xiaoqi nodded hurriedly.
"Just find a place to hide in the temple and wait, we will go there to find you when we escape, let's go east together, go around in a circle and then go back to Chizhou City." Speaking of the last sentence, Li Zongliang turned around and looked at Wei Shuisheng inquiringly, Wei Shuisheng nodded vigorously, Li Zongliang's eyes turned to Li Zonggui again, and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean?" ”
Li Zonggui turned around and said 'um' in agreement, and then turned his head to stare outside vigilantly, Li Erhuai didn't wait to ask, waved his hand and said: You discuss, I listen to the eldest brother. Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng glanced at each other, and it was a matter of decided, Li Erhuai had neatly packed up a few clothes, and handed the purse stuffed in the pillow and containing broken silver to Li Zongliang, Li Zongliang took the purse and handed it to Wei Shuisheng, and commanded in a low voice: "I will take care of the person surnamed Niu, we have to find a good place to live, and the four of us can't be separated." ”
"Hmm." Wei Shuisheng took the purse, looked down at Li Xiaoyi, and said uneasily: "Sister herself, be careful, this city is not as chaotic as before." ”
"Brother Shuisheng, don't worry." Li Xiaoqi agreed in a low voice, Li Erhuai grinned, patted Li Xiaoyi's head, and smiled nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Xiaoqi is not that easy to deceive, who has the ability to give her a loss!" ”
Li Xiaoqi pulled Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng uneasily, looked up at the two of them and explained: "You also have to be careful, you will move again when the plan is ready, I will buy some food and bring it, and it will be okay to wait in the temple for a few more days." ”
Wei Shuisheng smiled and patted Li Xiaoyi's head, Li Zongliang looked at Li Xiaoqi worriedly, and explained uneasily: "But be careful!" After we leave, don't light the lights again, and don't look at the excitement on the way out of the city tomorrow. ”
"Hmm!" Li Xiaoqi nodded heavily and agreed, Li Erhuai had already taken the long stick erected in the corner of the house, and handed one by one, Li Zongliang took the stick, looked at Li Xiaoyi, bent down and pulled out a dagger from the leggings at his ankles, and stuffed it into Li Xiaoyi's hand: "Take it for self-defense!" ”
Li Xiaoqi shook his head and pushed the dagger back: "I don't dare to kill anyone if I take it, you have to escape from the barracks, this is all you can use, I don't want it." ”
"My sister is right." Wei Shuisheng looked at Li Zongliang and said in a low voice, Li Zongliang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then stuffed the dagger back again.
Li Zongliang gently closed the door of the house, and together with Wei Shuisheng, knocked on the door of Mrs. Shen, and said loudly through the door to ask Mrs. Shen to speak, listening to Mrs. Shen agreed, the four of them carried a long stick, carried the burden, and followed a few officers and soldiers out of the courtyard door, Li Xiaoqi watched the four people go out of the courtyard through the crack in the door, the courtyard door closed gently, and the courtyard was quiet and silent.
Li Xiaoqi looked at it for a while, and was about to turn back, but he heard a 'squeak' from the door of Huang Yuanshan opposite, Huang Yuanshan turned his head left and right, hurriedly walked out of the door, walked to the gate of the courtyard, glanced at Li Xiaoqi, opened the courtyard door and went out.
The uneasiness in Li Xiaomi's heart fluctuated like a tide, he was stunned for a moment, turned around and ran into the room, quickly put on a thick jacket and pants made by Shen Pozi, took out the purse containing silver from under the pillow and tied it, opened the door a crack, flashed out, closed the door with his hand, ran to the door of Shen Pozi, pushed down the door, and was about to knock on the door, but the door quietly opened a crack from the inside, Li Xiaoqi was overjoyed, and hurriedly dodged and squeezed in, Shen Pozi gently bolted the door, pulled Li Xiaoqi to sit on the bed, and reached out to stroke her hair, He asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
"The chief of the security department took the eldest brother and they arrived at the number of husbands in Baoli and took them to the North Camp of the Praetorian Guard." In the dark, Li Xiaoqi replied in a low voice, and squeezed into Shen Pozi's arms, Shen Pozi was stunned, stretched out her hand to hug Li Xiaomi, and tears fell on Li Xiaomi's face: "How can this soldier still have a way to live?!" What can you do in the future? ”
Li Xiaoqi lay in Mrs. Shen's arms and was silent for a long time before he replied in a low voice: "I'll go to my brother tomorrow." ”
Mrs. Shen hugged Li Xiaomi, was silent for a long time, sighed leisurely, and said in a low voice: "Alas, in this world, there is no head, let's rest first, what time will you leave tomorrow?" Will you come back later? ”
"Go out as soon as the gates are opened."
The two were talking in a low voice, when they suddenly heard the courtyard door 'bang' and was pushed open, Shen Pozi shuddered, hurriedly stood up, walked to the door on tiptoe, and looked out through the crack in the door.
Huang Yuanshan carried a lantern, with a smile on his face, leaned sideways to light the road, and a fat middle-aged man behind him, with two strong men with leggings, dressed in black clothes, and looking like thugs, rushed straight to the next door.
I only heard the 'bang' of the door next to him, and after a while, a few people withdrew, and the fat man stared at Huang Yuanshan, and asked viciously: "What about people?" ”
Huang Yuanshan carried the lantern, trotted around to look for it, and turned to the door of Shen Pozi, Shen Pozi hurriedly pushed Li Xiaoqi and motioned her to hide, Li Xiaoqi bit her lip, and couldn't wait to kill this Huang Yuanshan with a knife, look at this, this Huang Yuanshan is taking advantage of the fire to rob, taking advantage of this moment to be alone, and wants to sell her!
How could it be so coincidental, but in the blink of an eye, this Huang Yuanshan could lead people over to catch her? , I'm afraid that •••••• big brother and they will be pulled into a strong man, and they can't get rid of him!
Li Xiaoqi turned his mind quickly, turned around and looked at the room, turned his head to look at Mrs. Shen, smiled wryly and spread out her hands, Mrs. Shen also turned her head to look around, her brows were twisted to one place, this room can be seen at a glance, there is no place to hide from people!
Mrs. Shen pulled Li Xiaomi, stepped on her toes and retreated to the bed, Huang Yuanshan's voice had already sounded outside the door: "Grandma Shen, is Xiaomian in your house?" I asked her a few questions. ”
"Who?" Mrs. Shen covered her mouth and asked in a hazy manner, pretending to be sleepy,
"Huang Da at the door, ask Xiao Qi for a few words."
"Xiao Qi lives next door, didn't he just leave with the security chief? I hear what looks like the voice of the chief of the body, you look for it. ”
"Xiao Mi is really not in your house?" Huang Yuanshan pushed the door hard and asked,
"I saw her go out, follow your feet." On the door, Mrs. Liu timidly answered from the crack in the door,
"Go back!" Huang Yuanshan shouted violently, Shen Pozi yawned and became impatient: "In the middle of the night, what are you two arguing about?" The Li family has rented a new house in Wick Hutong, and everything has almost moved, so you can look for it over there! ”
The door was silent for a moment, and when she heard the 'squeak' of the courtyard door, Shen Pozi hurriedly ran to the back of the door and carefully looked out, but there was no one in the courtyard, and there was no movement.
The two didn't dare to speak, huddled on the bed, Shen Pozi pressed Li Xiaoqi to lie down, leaned into her ear, and her voice was almost inaudible: "Wait for dawn." ”
Li Xiaoqi lay down obediently, but his eyes were open, and he didn't feel sleepy, on the way out of the city, I'm afraid it won't be so smooth, Huang Yuanshan is a scheming and gloomy person, the eldest brother and their husband's affairs must be inseparable from him, since he dares to come to catch her in such a hurry, he must count the eldest brother and they can't come back••••••
