124. Far from me
Walking back to the stone house, Lu Feng stopped without me opening his mouth, turned to me and said, "You go in and light the stove first, it won't be cold at night." I nodded, and was about to push the door in but listened to his call: "Xu Lan." ”
Turn back to look at him, waiting for the following. The deep dark gaze locked on me, and I could not help but panic, and I only heard him ask, "If I leave here, will you remember me?" ”
After carefully considering his words, he replied, "It's a good thing if you really leave, maybe you remember that you forgot this place before. As a result, Lu Feng didn't buy it at all: "You don't care about him, just ask if you will remember me?" You just have to say yes or no. I was annoyed when I heard this: "No." I have my husband to remember, and it is really impossible to have the heart to remember others. ”
The best way to deal with peach blossom debts is to cut through the mess quickly, so as not to procrastinate and make mistakes and annoy others.
Lu Feng turned around and whispered, "I won't give you this chance." He strode away with these words, and by the time I realized that his figure had been buried in the darkness.
I was dumbfounded, how could this man be so stubborn? It's also helpless, I can't catch up and pry open his head to change his mind. I sighed and turned back to the house, and when I entered the door, I saw the stove, and I still walked over and carried the stove to the edge of the stone collapse to rekindle the fire, and the house was warm all night, but I still couldn't sleep soundly.
In my dream, I kept running, but no matter how I ran, I couldn't get rid of the pursuit of the footsteps behind me, and the whirring wind formed the weirdest sound effect in the night. Then I couldn't run anymore, I fell to the ground, and suddenly a hand was on my shoulder, and I was awakened by the moment I raised my head.
I lay in a cold sweat, gasping for air. I woke up clearly, but the dream was too close, as if I had really experienced it and happened. The man who woke me up in my dream was Ping's grandfather.
Because of this dream, I couldn't help but think about the worst, I was originally in the capital to accompany Ah Ping to catch the exam, and I would not go home alone anyway. But his grandfather wanted to give me some problems at this time to learn March etiquette, and he refused to even give me a chance to say goodbye to Ah Ping, so he told Uncle Mu to send me back immediately. And Lu Feng said that the group of people who were chasing me had been hiding in this area a few days earlier, could this be a bureau set up by Ah Ping's grandfather, a bureau that led me into the urn?
What Liu widow and woman, what three months to learn etiquette, is a disguise.
But a voice in my heart was questioning: If Aping's grandfather wants to kill you, he can secretly kill me when he is in the capital, why do you need to deploy people in this area?
Be...... To cover Aping's eyes and ears! Conscious intuition answered.
When Lu Feng said that the group of people in black couldn't be thieves, his mind was churning, but he just restrained himself and didn't want to believe it.
Is this dream now thinking about it day and night, or is it giving me a warning?
However, the next afternoon, the people sent by Lu Feng to guard in front of Ginkgo Village came back and reported that a carriage had stopped at the door of my house, and an old woman came down, dressed in navy blue cloth and with a stern face. Listening to this description, who is it not a widow and a woman? I had doubts in my heart again, if Ah Ping's grandfather had set up a situation to put me to death, I would never have to let Widow Liu come back to perform this play.
I was in a mess, my dreams were nonsense, and what I thought was most likely was overturned in an instant. Except for Ah Ping's grandfather, I can't think of anyone else who would use such a method, because I thought that if the identity of the man in black was not a killer, then I am afraid that only soldiers would have such discipline, and Ah Ping's grandfather was a great general.
I decided to take the risk of going back to see Widow Liu, and I would know a thing or two from her mouth.
When Lu Feng learned about it, he vetoed it, and "invited" me out of the stone house and moved me to the innermost part of the cave, obviously to prevent me from escaping from the pit again. Although he regretted telling him of his decision, he had no choice but to think of another way.
During this period, I saw Huzi and Ah Niu once, and far away, they were among a group of bandits, and they did not describe the withered trees as I thought, but seemed to be very integrated into them. Ah Niu's legs are still limping, and it is inconvenient to walk.
Seemingly, they are really far away from me.
The peace in the mountains was eventually shattered by the outside world, and everyone was still asleep when the birds of the forest were screaming. As soon as I woke up and sat up, Lu Feng rushed to my side and told me to hide here and not run around.
I don't know who shouted "The government is coming", and the whole cottage was in chaos all of a sudden. It seems that the thieves are afraid of the government and have become instinctive, not to mention the huge momentum of the officers and soldiers who rushed in in the middle of the night, which is definitely not something that we, the more than 30 people, can resist. Lu Feng came back soon, he screamed and quieted everyone, and in an instant, the miraculous originally restless and frightened people were all silent, only to hear Lu Feng's voice sonorous and powerful: "I can't stay here any longer, I ordered Xiong Yi and others to dig a secret passage earlier, women and children in front, men in the back, don't let me see anyone fighting." ”
As soon as he had finished speaking, he took my hand and walked in the direction of the stone house, and as soon as he talked about the secret passage, I realized what was going on. Not only did he not fill in Chen Ergou's hole, but even dug a deeper and more spacious secret passage on the basis of that, in order to have a way back in the face of life and death like today.
I glanced behind me and saw that Maya was following closely behind, followed by two women, followed by a group of men, all of whom were silent and no one spoke. In the quiet of the night, there was only a heavy breath except for the shouting outside.
After the hole, there were no more two people in parallel, and Lu Feng took the lead, and the speed was enough for me to keep up. Last time, Chen Ergou and I climbed the whole way in the hole, and Lu Feng ordered someone to dig the hole to a height of one and a half meters, just bend over and walk. But the secret passage is long, and it is not good to bend over and be sore for a long time, and Lu Feng's voice in front of him came in a low voice: "Bear with me, you will soon reach the entrance of the cave." ”
I hummed, but I knew that there was still a long way to go, and that I still had to pass through a tomb to get outside.
But I didn't see any burial chambers at the end of the cave, and as Lu Feng climbed out of the cave and looked around, I found that this exit was not the one that Chen Ergou took me out of last time. couldn't help but be secretly surprised, did Chen Ergou originally dig another exit, or did Lu Feng let people dig another one after going down to the hole?
Whatever the way it may be, here we are coming out of the mountains. The place where you can hear the sound of people in the distance is the cottage, and I saw the fire everywhere, but it was obviously not as big as the last time, because the trees and grass sheds that could be burned in the mountain had been burned out in the last fire.
However, last time, Uncle Mu only took a few people deep into the thief village, the purpose was to find me, although the fire burned the cottage, but it did not move the roots; But this time, the government sent troops to suppress it, and if it was unable to resist, it would be a loss of home.
Looking back at the people who had climbed up from the cave one after another, they all looked forward in the dim night light, and there was a hidden sadness on their faces.
Lu Feng's calm voice broke the silence: "Get out of here first." ”
He grabbed my wrist again and led the way, and the group followed silently, but with heavy steps.
At some distance from the people behind me, I asked in a low voice, "Where are we going now?" ”
"Get out of here before you make plans."
Leave...... I frowned, paused, and shook my head at Lu Feng: "Let's go." ”
With a tightening of his hand, Lu Feng turned his head and glanced at me, "Where are you going if you don't leave?" ”
"Go home." After a pause, he said before he spoke: "My family is here, my father-in-law will come back in a few days, you should run quickly." However, it is better to disperse so many people, otherwise it will be too easy to attract attention. Also, can you let Jin Aniu and Huzi go back? "Now that they are all fleeing, they should no longer have to abide by the rules and have to pay for it with labor.
Lu Feng didn't respond to me, his gloomy eyes stared at me, and the atmosphere froze instantly. And then everyone who came up after me didn't know what was going on, and looked at us with apprehensive eyes.
The officers and soldiers are not far away, and it is likely that they will immediately start a round-up when they find that the mountains are empty, although these people are all bandits, and I have been frightened in them, but this time my life was saved by them, so I still don't want them to be caught.
Pushed Lu Feng, "Don't hesitate, I'm a nearby villager, and those people will definitely not dare to act rashly if the officers and soldiers are infested." But if you don't leave, it's too late, Lu Feng, you should be decisive at this time, these people's lives fall on your shoulders. ”
I saw that something had calmed down in his dark eyes, and he turned to the bandit and said in a deep voice: "From now on, if you have a home, you can hurry home in the night, and if you want to go, you can go, and if you are homeless and don't want to leave, stay and follow me." ”
Suddenly, the crowd whispered, and after Lu Feng urged him to choose quickly, someone really walked out of the team, and said uneasily: "Chief, my hometown is in Pingcun, I want to go back." ”
Then one after another, some people proposed to leave, and after Lu Feng agreed, at first those people didn't believe that they were free, and turned back three times when they walked, and then they strode away when they saw that there was really no one to stop them. Among them, there are many men who walk with women, and there are two people who travel together. I felt a gaze shoot at me, and when I looked over, I saw that it was Ah Niu, who was standing at the back of the line and looking at me from a distance of more than a kilometer.
The night was so dark that I couldn't make out the look in his eyes. It was Huzi who opened his mouth, and he offered to go back to Batou Village with Ah Niu, and Lu Feng glanced at me and waved his hand to signal that they could go.
The direction of Batou Village is in front of us, so I saw Huzi holding Ah Niu to this place, when passing by, Ah Niu's pace paused, he didn't look at me, he looked at the front expressionlessly for a while before he crossed the side under the drag of Huzi, and slowly walked away.
One parting and two wide, each life rejoices. I hope that Ah Niu can say goodbye to the past after this incident and stop being obsessed.
