Chapter 68: Goodbye Everyone
Turning through a cloister, the slightest sound of conversation came from ahead, and in the moonlight two figures could be seen standing by the pillars.
Youwen originally just wanted to go back to the room to sleep, and he was not interested in going over to say hello to people, this county government himself is the best with Yin'er, the second son is not bad, and the officials who are on an errand in the front hall are also okay, it is the women who live in the back office, Youwen is very disgusted, who let them have nothing to do with Yin'er? I'm tired and half dead today, and I just want to go back to my room and sleep quickly.
When he was about to go back to the room with a silent yawn, he heard a voice: "It's all right, don't worry, madam!" ”
Youwen's originally tired mushy head suddenly woke up as if he had been knocked out of a stuffy stick, madam? Only the second son's main house An is called Mrs. by the servant, as a dignified lady, in the middle of the night, sneakily saying something "proper" or something like that, isn't it strange?
Youwen patted his head, why didn't he remember, this An clan didn't want Yin'er to stay by the second son's side!
Creep through the shadows and listen to what the two men are saying!
"Is it close to Kawaguchi Prefecture? Don't let her touch it back! Ahn's voice.
"Madame rest assured, Qingshui Pavilion is thirty miles away from here, she is determined not to know the way back, besides, the family spent two taels of silver to buy her, and she will not let her go out alone, and when she gets pregnant in the future, no one wants her when she comes back!" It was the voice of a middle-aged woman who answered Ahn's.
"Well, tighten your mouth, go ahead!" After saying that, An went back to his room, and the other immediately left.
Youwen held his breath in the shadows, clenched his fists tightly, the conversation between An's and another person just now, he heard it clearly, Qingshui Pavilion, thirty miles away from the county seat of Kawaguchi, someone was sold by her to a family there, and the person who was sold for two taels of silver must be Yin'er.
The drowsiness was gone, Youwen immediately went to Ziyu's house softly, knocked on the door, no one answered, could it be sleep? Keep knocking or no one, just push the door and open it, it turns out that the second son has not come back yet, and it seems that he may still be looking for Yin'er outside.
Can't wait so long, Youwen walked to the front hall, came to the gate, woke up the old servant of the porter and asked him to open the door, and asked him how to go to Qingshui Pavilion.
"Youwen Gongzi is in the middle of the night, and he still goes out?" The old official was very puzzled, what urgent matter could not be done until dawn!
"Uncle, tell me quickly, how to get to Qingshui Pavilion, it's urgent!" Youwen anxiously urged, and finally woke up the old servant, and talked a lot of nonsense.
"Qingshui Pavilion, out of the city from the east gate, keep walking, turn right when you encounter a fork in the road, turn right when you encounter a fork in the road, continue to turn right when you encounter the last fork, and cross the Qingshui Creek!" The old man pinched three fingers and counted the forks.
"What? Turn right, you just say that if there is a fork in the road, turn right? I also met once and again again, let me ask you, didn't this keep turning right and coming back in a circle? "Youwen is about to die, but the old servant is more old-fashioned, and everything is slow and logical.
"No, no, just follow what the old man said, just go right, cross Qingshui Creek, you can naturally see it." The old servant shook his head as he spoke, with an unfathomable expression.
In this case, the road is easy to remember, and it must not be difficult to walk, Youwen took a horse and opened the door and rushed out, the night road is too dark and he is almost the same as closing his eyes, fortunately the horse can see, as for why the horse can see and he can't see, he doesn't want to know, he just wants to hurry up and go to the place called Qingshui Pavilion.
I don't know how long I ran, and I didn't see any forks, miserable, I forgot to ask the old servant how long it took to run out of the city to the first fork, and now it seems that I have been running for a long time, I don't know if I can't see the night road, and I ignore the fork in the road, if this is the end, I quickly pulled the horse, and the horse slowly stopped.
This stop, Fang Jue was frightened, surrounded by mountains, pitch black, except for this horse and himself, there was no one, occasionally from the unknown direction came from an unknown cry, Youwen instantly shook out of a cold sweat.
I had to whip forward again, regardless of whether I missed the first fork in the road or not, and walked straight, what if it was right? I don't have to be so scared to run so much, but I didn't run far, and I really let him find a fork in the road, although it was not what he saw, but the horse slowed down when he arrived at the fork and waited for the owner's instructions, so he knew that this was a good horse, very spiritual, this must be the first fork in the road, yes, the horse knew to slow down when it met the fork, and the front must not have been missed.
Youwen leaned down and hugged the horse's neck, and muttered in a low voice: "Man, you have done a lot of credit today, wait until you go back and reward you with a few buns of grain, and then find you a beautiful mare, see how good I am to you, you have a daughter-in-law, Lao Tzu is not yet!" ”
As soon as Youwen finished speaking, he fell off his horse, not because he was shaken off by the horse, nor because he didn't ride steadily, but because he tripped up!
Youwen rolled on the mountain road and was dizzy.
Suddenly, the fire was flourishing, a group of people lit torches and came to Youwen, Youwen was illuminated by the fire and could only see that he could not see others, and the secret road was over, and he met the robbery, and he came out in a hurry without silver, in case this group of people could not find the silver on themselves, they must have to kill him with a knife, this is the middle of the night, shouting for help, and the mountain god is not willing to come out to save him, so he can only get up in a panic and kneel towards the person holding the torch, stammering and shouting: "Each ...... Although I don't have any silver on me, I have it at home, so I might as well go to my house with me to get it, or you can write a letter to my friends and ask them to send the silver, and the heroes will spare their lives. ”
"Go to your house and pick it up? Hahaha, when you're uncle, I'm stupid? It's okay to write letters, but tell me, where are they going? A big man from the group asked.
"Kawaguchi Prefecture Ya, as long as you send it there to find the prefectural magistrate, he will definitely give you silver!" Youwen hurriedly replied.
As a result, as soon as Youwen's voice fell, he was firmly hit by two feet, and the big man squatted down and approached Youwen with the torch: "Lao Tzu is a robber, you let Lao Tzu send a letter to the county commander, are you stupid or Lao Tzu stupid?" ”
Youwen patted his pig brain, he was so anxious just now that he forgot that these are bandits, and the county government is an official, doesn't this make it clear that he doesn't want to give money and is looking for his own death?
"The big man is a good man, the small one doesn't mean that, alas...... How to say this, the county government is indeed my friend......"
Youwen was kicked again, and the big man got up and turned back to the people behind him and said, "Throw him down the canyon and take the horse away!" ”
Two strong men immediately came from behind, one holding Youwen's neck, the other holding his feet, and walking towards the dark mountain road, about the canyon is still in front, Youwen struggled and shouted for help, and was about to be thrown to death, even if no one could hear it, he had to call a few times, so as not to be a ghost in the future and have no chance to speak again.
I don't know if Youwen's miserable cry moved the mountain god here and the land lord, the group of people who were walking with him suddenly panicked, Youwen was thrown to the ground inexplicably, and looked up, the group of people with torches were rushing forward, the torches were scattered all over the place, and they were quickly extinguished, and they couldn't see in the dark, and they could only hear the sound of fighting in their ears.
Youwen thought to himself that it must be this group of bandits who met another group of robbers, and then the two groups robbed each other, and took pity on his good horse, which was so spiritual, it was going to be snatched away to kill and eat meat.
Youwen only remembered the crying horse, completely forgetting that he was caught by someone and was about to be thrown down the canyon just now.
When I was almost crying, I looked at the dark mountain road in front of me, the movement was small, and I estimated that the people were almost dead, and I was really stupid just now, why didn't I know to escape while they were fighting?
Quickly got up, and ran back in the dark, and then heard a voice from behind: "There is another one ahead!" ”
It's over, it's really stupid for the secret road to run away just now, if you lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, maybe you can fool the past, and now you have been regarded as the original gang of robber accomplices.
Sure enough, Youwen didn't run a few steps before he was pulled back by a tall and strong bandit, thrown to the ground, and heard the sound of the tall and strong drawing a knife.
The victorious bandit Xiao Si in the back also lit a torch very intimately to illuminate it, so that the tall and strong knife would be more accurate and the cut would be smoother.
Youwen closed his eyes and shouted several times in his heart: "Goodbye Daddy!" Goodbye Qin Shuyu! Goodbye to the mountains! Goodbye! My son will see you in the future! Goodbye everyone......"
As a result, I didn't see the knife fall for a long time, and I made a scarlet sound, and I wanted to cut it quickly, do you think it's very comfortable to wait for death but delay in dating?
"Youwen?" It seemed to be a tall and strong voice in front of him.
When Youwen heard someone shouting to him, he thought it was an illusion, so he first opened one eye, and then the two small eyes immediately stared round and full of essence: "Brother Du Jian?!" ”
"You kid, why are you here? I almost became a ghost under my sword! Du Jian threw the knife away and hurriedly helped Youwen up.
"Wow...... Brother Du Jian, I almost died just now! Youwen was frightened twice, and then he was completely relaxed before he burst into tears.
"Okay, don't cry, like a, aren't you not dead! The eldest prince is behind, and he will be here soon, you have something to report to the eldest prince! Du Jian patted Youwen's thin shoulder and comforted him.
The people beside Du Jian dispersed, lined up to illuminate the mountain road, and Ye Qinglin, who was dressed in white, appeared from the firelight on horseback.
They just rushed back from Liangchuankou tonight, planning to return to Chuankou County, first harassed by a group of mountain bandits, and then chased all the way here, not wanting to save Youwen here.
When Youwen saw Ye Qinglin coming on horseback, he immediately forgot that he wanted to cry just now, ran over in three steps and two steps, and shouted to Ye Qinglin: "Son, come with me to save Yin'er!" ”
