Chapter 238: Escape from Death
Yunzhu's words made Sister-in-law Xiao very excited, she naturally hoped that she and her husband could find a stable job, but the previous events made the shops in the imperial capital dare not accept their husband and wife.
At the moment, there was a sudden appearance of someone who could take in their husband and wife, and sister-in-law Xiao naturally wanted to go, but she was even more worried that she and her husband would cause trouble for the young woman in front of her.
It seemed to see Sister-in-law Xiao's thoughts, and the smile on Yun Zhu's face deepened.
"Sister-in-law Xiao, don't worry, if you work with me, you won't have any trouble, and you won't cause me any trouble, you just have to work with Lao Xiao at ease."
Yunzhu said this, which made Sister-in-law Xiao even more excited, but she was still a little worried, so she looked at the drunken chef Wu.
"Sister-in-law, what our owner said is true, don't worry, I'm not afraid to tell you, I have also checked our owner!"
Scratching his head a little embarrassed, after all, Yunzhu was here, but he had already said it once just now, so there was no pressure to say it the second time.
"Have you heard of General Shu? Is that the general who pacified the war in the southwest and the northwest? ”
After listening to the drunken chef Wu, Sister-in-law Xiao didn't think about it, so she nodded, seeing her like this, Yunzhu couldn't help but be a little surprised, she didn't expect that her own man was quite influential.
However, when she heard the drunken chef Wu talk about Shu Sirui, she really missed him, and she didn't know where Shu Sirui was now? Security is not safe? When will I be able to come back?
Yunzhu's thoughts, Drunken Chef Wu naturally didn't know, seeing Sister-in-law Xiao nodded, Drunken Chef Wu spoke again.
"This lady is the wife of General Nashu, not only that, but she is also the young lady of the Tan family of the big family in the capital, who would dare to mess with such a family background?"
Drunken Chef Wu's words made Yun Zhu want to laugh a little, but he didn't expect that he had investigated himself, and it seemed to be very high, but when it came to it, her current identity did have a very powerful feeling.
"Not only that, even the emperor gave her the mansion, and the plaque of the mansion was written by the emperor!"
Telling everything he knew, Drunken Chef Wu looked at Sister-in-law Xiao, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, no one will be able to bully you and your eldest brother in the future, the owner will call the shots for you!" ”
Drunken Chef Wu has said this, and this is naturally the time for Yunzhu to express his position.
"Sister-in-law Xiao, don't worry, if you work in my place, no one will bully you again, just like the drunken chef Wu said, if someone really bullies you, just tell me, I will help you make the decision."
"By the way, I haven't finished talking about the benefits just now!" Yunzhu spoke again and said all the benefits he had thought of before.
"In addition to the generous salary, the monthly price, you all have benefits during the New Year, and there are also red envelopes for the New Year, and the store usually provides food, so you can save a lot of money."
"If you live, you have your own house, so I won't provide it, in short, work well in the store, and everything will not be disadvantaged to you."
It can be said that the conditions for Yunzhu to come out, the whole capital to look for it, will definitely not be able to find a second one, sister-in-law Xiao is also very clear in her heart, she is also very excited, so after thinking about it, sister-in-law Xiao nodded and responded to the matter.
"This matter, after Lao Xiao comes back, you are telling him again, if you and your wife feel that there is no problem, you will go to my store tomorrow to sign the paperwork."
Seeing Sister-in-law Xiao nodding and Yunzhu opening her mouth understandingly, Sister-in-law Xiao was naturally very grateful, after all, people put forward such favorable conditions, and even let themselves consider, such a proprietor is really difficult to find.
After everything was said, Yun Zhu looked at the time and was ready to go home, so he left the things he brought and left Lao Xiao's house with his entourage.
Walking on the street, looking at the streets on both sides, Yunzhu missed Shu Sirui more and more, she gave a few instructions to the subordinates, and asked the subordinates to go back to the He Mansion to talk to the old man He, and then took the rest of the people back to the Yun Mansion.
This is her and Shu Sirui's home, only their own home, Shu Sirui is not there, and the cloud mansion seems more and more deserted.
Ping retreated, Yunzhu sat in the house by himself, the room was cleaned very clean, although no one usually lived, but the people still came in every day to clean.
Time passed bit by bit, and Yunzhu sat in the room in a daze, waiting until it was dark before coming back to her senses.
Although he ate a lot at noon, it was already evening, and Yunzhu was a little hungry.
Standing up, Yun Zhu went to the kitchen, cooked a bowl of noodles for himself, and ate a few simple meals.
That night, Yunzhu slept in Yunfu, and she didn't sleep well this night, because in her dream, Shu Sirui was not safe.
What Yunzhu didn't know was that her dream was right, and Shu Sirui was indeed not safe at this time.
"General Shu, I'm sorry for you, if it weren't for me, we wouldn't be in this situation now."
Leaning on the ground, the dark lords were embarrassed at this time, and they had been forced into a desperate situation.
"There's nothing I'm sorry for, you just don't know much about the southwest."
Also sitting on the ground, Shu Sirui was also very embarrassed, after all, since he was discovered that day, he and the Dark Commander had not had a good rest, let alone eat and drink without worry.
In the past few days, the two of them have hardly eaten anything, and their physical strength has long been overdrawn, not to mention, the group of southwesterners are chasing after them, as if they want to kill them.
"What are we going to do now? This place is deserted, let alone eating, and there is an abyss to go forward, and there is a group of southwesterners to retreat. ”
Glancing ahead, it was pitch black, after all, it was already late at night, and it was at this time that they had a rare moment of tranquility.
"Dark Lord, are you afraid of death?" After listening to the dark commander's words, Shu Sirui was silent for a moment before asking.
"Naturally, I am not afraid, but I am not willing to die like this, not on the battlefield, but in such a humiliating place, I am not reconciled!"
Unlike Shu Sirui, the Dark Commander has nothing to worry about, after all, as the Dark Guard Commander, he can't have anything to worry about.
In the past, the most desired thing for the dark commander was to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but unfortunately he became the commander of the dark guard, destined to be by the emperor's side, guarding the emperor's safety.
Now that he finally had a chance to do something for his country, he was accidentally messed up by him, resulting in the current situation, and the dark commander was about to regret it to death.
"I'm not reconciled." Shu Sirui's tone was light, but it made the dark leader even more guilty, after all, Shu Sirui was different from himself.
"General Shu, I'm really sorry." Looking at Shu Sirui, the dark commander spoke apologetically.
"Don't talk about that, Dark Lord, do you want to make a bet with me?"
With a wave of his hand, Shu Sirui looked at the deep night in front of him, where it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly, but whether it was Shu Sirui or the Dark Commander, they all knew that there was an abyss ahead.
"A bet? What to bet on? Seeing Shu Sirui looking ahead, the dark commander raised his head and looked ahead, he wanted to know what Shu Sirui was looking at, and he also wanted to know, what was the bet that Shu Sirui told him?
"It's better to gamble with your life." Smiling and speaking, Shu Sirui's words surprised the Dark Commander.
"There is an abyss ahead, you must know it, I think you are like me, you don't want to be caught by the southwesterners, not because you will die if you are caught by them, but you must die without dignity."
"The current situation, whether it's you or me, can't beat those southwesterners, in this case, it's better to try to find a way to survive in death, what do you think?"
Shu Sirui is still very familiar with the southwest, he knows that once the southwesterners find their ancestors, they will torture the other party to death, not only that, but the southwesterners will also throw the corpses to those hungry wolves and wild dogs, so that people will die without a complete corpse, such a way of death is not accepted by Shu Sirui.
Since he didn't want to be caught by the southwesterners, and he didn't want to die like humiliation, Shu Sirui felt that even if it was an abyss, he could fight.
Shu Sirui knows that sometimes the abyss does not mean that it is death, perhaps, there is still a glimmer of life, in short, no matter what, instead of dying in the hands of the southwesterners, it is better to try this abyss.
Although the chance of being alive in death is very small, it is better than the humiliation of death, there are dead corpses left and right, so he would rather choose to die without corpses like this.
"General Shu, tell me what you think." The Dark Commander still didn't understand what Shu Sirui meant, and he looked at Shu Sirui and asked what he thought.
"My idea was simple, go to the edge of that cliff and jump off."
Standing up, Shu Sirui walked towards the edge of the cliff step by step, and the dark commander also quickly got up and grabbed Shu Sirui's arm.
"General Shu, are you crazy? If you jump, there is only one way to die, where will there be any life in death? ”
With his arm tugged, Shu Sirui stopped, he turned to look at the Dark Commander, and opened his mouth with a smile.
"Even if you don't live in death, it doesn't matter if you die, anyway, there is no corpse in death, would you rather be **** before you die, or would you rather die directly?"
Shu Sirui's words made the dark commander's hand loosen a little, he knew that Shu Sirui said this because of his understanding of the southwesterners, and they would be exposed before, it was because he didn't listen to Shu Sirui's words, so he regretted it now.
Seeing that the Dark Commander was deep in thought, Shu Sirui broke away from his hand and continued to walk forward, the Dark Commander suddenly came back to his senses, he gritted his teeth, and followed behind Shu Sirui.
"General Shu, do you have any regrets?" Speaking slowly, the Dark Commander tried to slow down his pace, and he wanted to say a word more, and look at everything in front of him, although it was pitch black.
"What do you think?" Shu Sirui's voice came, he naturally had regrets, he could imagine how sad and sad Yunzhu would be if he left, they didn't even have children before......
But that's okay, without the drag of children, it will be easier for Yunzhu to remarry in the future, she is still so young, she shouldn't delay her life because of herself.
Shu Sirui's words made the dark commander choke in an instant, he had seen Yun Zhu, and he also knew the relationship between Shu Sirui and Yun Zhu, he suddenly felt that he was really stupid, so he asked such a thing.
"General Shu, I hope that there will be a village under this cliff, we will be rescued by the people of the village, we will also be able to heal our injuries, and then continue our lives, but unfortunately, this can only be thought about."
Sighing, the dark commander pondered for a moment, "Alas, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, so I don't know what it's like to be a woman!" ”
Shaking his head helplessly, Shu Sirui continued to walk forward, according to the route he estimated, the position not far in front should be the edge of the cliff.
"General Shu, we are dead, how does the emperor know that there is a problem in the southwest?"
Suddenly, an important question came to mind, and the secret commander asked Shu Sirui, they came to the southwest this time, mainly to find out the news, but they didn't expect this little thing, they actually had to put their lives into it......
"If we don't go back within the time limit, the emperor will know that there is a problem in the southwest, and then the southwest border pass will directly send troops to exterminate these small tribes in the southwest."
This is what Shu Sirui agreed with the emperor before, after all, no one dares to guarantee that there will be no accidents at a little thing, and now there will be an accident?
"In that case, don't we have to die? As long as we keep hiding, when the time limit comes, and the border passes send troops to exterminate these small tribes in the southwest, won't we be saved? ”
Stopping, a glimmer of hope ignited in the heart of the Dark Commander, and he looked at Shu Sirui's back in front of him, with hope in his voice.
"I can't wait, there are still a few days before the time limit, and when the accident happened, I just finished delivering the news this time, so it will take a few days to wait for the next news."
After listening to the dark commander, although Shu Sirui didn't want to, he still had to pour cold water on him.
"You also know that there is only a cliff ahead, there is no other way to escape, and there are southwesterners behind us, even if we hide, there is no way to hide, unless, hide under this cliff."
Shu Sirui's words made the hope in the dark commander's heart instantly extinguished, and he continued to walk forward, only to feel that his steps were very heavy.
He knew that what Shu Sirui said was right, indeed, in the current situation, even if he hid, he would be caught in less than a day, in this case, it was better to jump down directly to save trouble.
The two of them finally came to the edge of the cliff, the wind here was stronger than before, the dark commander sighed, he was really unwilling!
Hearing the voice of the dark leader, Shu Sirui smiled helplessly, he was not reconciled, but what can he do?
If it was before, maybe he wouldn't care, he would jump down, and the big deal would be death, but now it's different, he has concerns, but even so, he still has to jump.
Maybe this jump, there is only a dead end, from now on, he and Yunzhu will be separated forever, but he has no way, this is the only choice he can choose at the moment.
"Dark Commander, do you want to jump with me, or do you want to wait for me to jump, and you hesitate to jump?"
Speaking with a wry smile, Shu Sirui's voice was full of helplessness, and the dark commander hesitated for a moment before he spoke.
"General Shu, we are on the edge of the cliff, in that case, why don't you watch the sunrise and then jump down?"
In the eyes of the Dark Commander, there is only such a moment left in life, and it is not far from dawn, even if you look at the sun more and die, it is good!
The Dark Commander doesn't remember when he saw the sunrise, it seems that when he was a child, he lived in the village at that time, and he could see it every day.
Although it is said that after becoming the commander of the dark guard, you can also see it, but because I think I can watch it every day, I have never paid attention to it, and now that I think about it, I really regret it.
When the dark commander said this, Shu Sirui naturally wouldn't disagree, watching the sunrise wouldn't be delayed for long, not to mention, only at dawn, that group of southwesterners would appear, so they still had time.
Nodding in response, the two sat on the edge of the cliff, waiting for the sunrise.
It is said that the waiting time is tormenting and slow, but the dark commander feels that everything passed quickly today, and it didn't take much to sit down, and the sky gradually brightened.
Because they were on the top of the mountain, the view was particularly good, and the two stood up and looked in the direction of the sunrise.
I don't know if it's because this is the last look of the sun, whether it's Shu Sirui or the dark leader, they all feel a little more beautiful than usual.
The sunrise was actually very fast, and the sun rose quickly, and Shu Sirui looked at the Dark Lord and spoke again.
"Together? Or do you watch me jump first, and you come later? ”
It was rare that Shu Sirui's words had a joking meaning, but at this time, the dark commander had no intention of joking at all.
"I'd better go with you, otherwise, I don't know how long I have to hesitate, when the southwesterners catch up, I'm being caught, and it will be miserable."
The dark commander said this, Shu Sirui smiled and nodded, he glanced at his feet, this cliff is really deep enough, it is estimated that if he falls down, he will die.
"Come on, I said one, two, three, let's dance together." Retracting his gaze, Shu Sirui spoke again, at this time he felt uncomfortable, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Okay, you can say it." Swallowing his saliva, the Dark Commander also glanced at his feet just now, this time he almost made him fall directly, it was too high!
"One, two, three!" After saying that, Shu Sirui jumped forward and jumped towards the bottom of the cliff, and the dark commander gritted his teeth and jumped down with him......
By the time the southwesterners chased them to the cliff, there were no people here, and the leading southwesterners glanced around and landed on the cliff not far away.
"Did you jump off a cliff?" The short black southwesterner spoke, looking in the direction of the cliff, he didn't believe that someone had the courage to jump.
"That's how it should be, go over and see." The leader beckoned and led the group towards the cliff ahead.
When they got closer, everyone looked down the mountain and couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
"There's no road around here, and they're not going anywhere else, so it looks like they're jumping."
The man in black in the lead spoke, with admiration in his voice, "I didn't expect those two men to be men, okay, let's go back too, since the person jumped down, the matter will be settled." ”
When the leader said this, the crowd answered, and followed the leader back the way they came.
Time passed bit by bit, and all the southwesterners had already walked away, and suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out from the edge of the cliff and hooked on the edge of the cliff where the group of southwesterners stood before.
One person poked his head out, and it was none other than the Dark Commander who had jumped down before.
It can only be said that God didn't want Shu Sirui and the Dark Commander to die, so after the two jumped down, they actually landed on a protruding big rock under the cliff.
It was this protruding boulder that saved the lives of Shu Sirui and the Dark Commander.
"Oh my god! General Shu, meet again so soon? As soon as he fell, the Dark Commander had not come to his senses, and when he saw Shu Sirui, he asked in some surprise.
"Dark Lord, we're not dead." Somewhat helpless, Shu Sirui stretched out his hand and pinched the Dark Commander, his hand was not small, and the Dark Commander almost jumped up in pain.
"Dark Commander, don't move too much, we'll fall on the line of life and death now, if this barrier is gone, we will really be dead."
Hurriedly opened his mouth to remind Shu Sirui that the Dark Commander was a reckless person.
Shu Sirui said this, the dark commander quickly slowed down his movements, he didn't want to die at all, he had a chance to live, he naturally had to grasp it well.
"Let's hide here for a while now, I guess that group of southwesters are coming soon, and when they leave, let's go out again, then it will be safe."
Seeing that the Dark Commander was cautious, Shu Sirui nodded with satisfaction, he glanced around, and then spoke again.
"I know, don't worry, I'm sure my movements and voice are light." Answered, at this time, the dark leader seemed to have changed a person, no matter how he spoke, or something else, it really seemed like a different person.
"Hmm." Answered, Shu Sirui stopped talking, he listened intently to the voice above, and his eyes looked around from time to time.
"General Shu, what are you looking at?" Curious to speak, the voice of the Dark Commander was still small.
"It's nothing, you try not to move, don't talk, just slow down your breathing."
Telling the Dark Commander, Shu Sirui continued to listen intently, just now he wanted to find another place to stay, so that if there was something wrong with the big rock under his feet, then they would still have to die.
Of course, Shu Sirui didn't want anything wrong with this big rock.
After a while, there was a voice from above, Shu Sirui put his hand to his lips and motioned to the dark commander not to speak, the dark leader nodded lightly and reached out to cover his mouth.
Both of them are martial arts practitioners, and the group of southwesterners also came to the edge of the cliff, so when they speak, Shu Sirui and the dark leader can hear them.
After waiting for a while, finally, the group of southwesterners left, and Shu Sirui continued to listen until the footsteps were completely inaudible, which made the dark commander take a look.
"General Shu, everyone is gone." Seeing that there was no one left, the dark commander whispered to Shu Sirui.
"Let's go up." In response, Shu Sirui spoke, and the dark commander did not dare to delay, for fear of delaying the time and letting Shu Sirui fall below him.
A vertical body, although he has not eaten enough recently, but the light skills can still be used, the dark commander came to the cliff and stretched out his hand to Shu Sirui below.
