Chapter 219: Jungle
On the way to escape, the three of them told each other about what they had encountered.
Of course, Chen Linlin and Miao Jinxiu both omitted the part that they knew with Solang Deji.
Chen Linlin didn't mention her intention to let Miao Jinxiu go that way, and Miao Jinxiu, out of trust in her, never suspected anything, just thought that she was unlucky and ran into Jia Muzeng crazy.
Li Yuntong frowned after hearing this, although she and Miao Jinxiu both heard Jia Muzeng's voice last night, but no one saw her. In fact, because the two of them are not familiar with Jia Muzeng, even if someone else pretends to be her to speak, it is not impossible.
But there must be someone in the inner palace who is in collusion with the outside, there is no doubt about that.
She looked at Chen Linlin and Miao Jinxiu scrutinically, "From what you said, I can't see why Mu Yarusa kidnapped Miao Guiren at all, do you still have something to hide from me?" ”
The two replied in unison, "No, the concubine doesn't dare." ”
Chen Linlin also added, "Zanmeng, could it be because Miao Guiren saw something that shouldn't be seen, and Mu Yarusa was afraid that she would say it, so he treated her like that?" ”
Li Yuntong thought about it, nodded and said, "It's not impossible, what has you seen in your family?" ”
Miao Jinxiu thought about it carefully, but still couldn't figure it out, "It seems, it's nothing." Last night it snowed heavily, and the two palace maids of the concubines were shivering with the cold holding the lamps, and then we heard a sound from behind us, and saw a group of people carrying a sedan chair......"
Li Yuntong's color changed, "Are you sure there is only one sedan chair?" ”
Xiu Jinxiu thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively, "That's right, there is only one sedan chair." After saying that, she also felt that something was wrong, "Before, Zanmeng said that someone tied you up and put you in a sedan chair, and then stuffed me into that sedan chair, there is only one sedan chair, is Mu Yarusa in which entourage?" The concubine didn't pay attention to ...... at the time."
While the three of them were talking, they heard the sound of someone talking outside the forest.
Obviously, the monks found them running away and had already chased after them, but for some reason they did not go into the forest, but only shouted outside the forest to get out quickly, or they would set fire to the forest.
"Zanmeng, either we go out, or they really set the fire, but they won't be able to get out......" Chen Linlin's face turned pale and she was a little scared.
"I don't know what the situation is when I go out, these people are ruthless." Thinking that her two palace maids might have frozen to death in the snow last night, Miao Jinxiu gritted her teeth and said, "Rather than being caught by them, it's better to ignore it and continue to run forward, I don't think they dare to come in, we just need to escape from the other end." ”
"What if they've arranged for someone to block the other side, or fence off the woods? If we go out, won't we also fall into the net? Chen Linlin objected, "They were all able to kidnap Zanmeng from the Dongyue Palace, which shows how powerful and arrogant it is!" We might as well go out, or perhaps when they see that Zanmeng is awake, they will not dare to act rashly. ”
Miao Jinxiu snorted, "You also said that they all dared to kidnap Zanmeng, what else did they dare not move?" They roared so loudly that they probably wanted to scare us, so if I told them, we should ignore them and run away. ”
Chen Linlin wanted to say something, Li Yuntong threw away the branch in his hand and said: "Noble Miao is right, if they dare to come in, they would have come in and arrest us a long time ago, no matter what the reason makes them dare not enter this forest, we can take refuge here for a while." Don't stop, keep heading west. ”
"Zanmon, why don't I change my shoes with you? It's freezing on this day, and you're going to freeze in those shoes. After walking for a while, seeing Li Yuntong wearing embroidered soft shoes, Chen Linlin said breathlessly.
Li Yuntong shook his head, "No, if you change it to me, you will be cold too." And you don't know martial arts, change your shoes to me, and you will definitely walk slower. ”
After drilling into the dense forest for a while, she could clearly feel that Chen Linlin's breathing was thickening, and if she continued to walk, her physical strength would definitely become the one who was dragging her feet.
In this case, even if Li Yuntong does not dislike her shoes, it is impossible to change shoes with her.
As for Miao Jinxiu, because her feet are bigger, Li Yuntong also vetoed her proposal to change her shoes.
Seeing that Chen Linlin was walking slower and slower, Miao Jinxiu frowned lightly, and couldn't help but say to Li Yuntong: "Zanmeng, Chen Gui's strength is weak, if she continues like this, she is afraid that she will not be able to hold on, why don't we rest?" ”
"We can't stop at this time, maybe they haven't had time to go there, if we go faster, maybe we can escape, you can bear with it at this time......"
Although Li Yuntong didn't say it directly, the subtext in his words was very obvious, he was running for his life now, not just resting if he wanted to play in the mountains and rivers, how could it be so simple to escape from the hands of those people, and if he didn't block it outside the forest quickly, there would really be no way back.
After all, they were walking directly west from the middle of the forest, and even if they were to be surrounded, they would have walked around the forest for a longer distance than them, and if they had hurried and hurried, they might have been able to escape before the encirclement was closed.
At this time, it is to fight for physical strength and whose feet are fast.
Having said that, but the three of them are all delicate women, although Li Yuntong and Miao Jinxiu know some fist and foot kung fu, and they are also dressed in fine clothes and jade food on weekdays, how can they suffer like this, and when they feel that they are almost in the middle of the forest, Li Yuntong's embroidered soft shoes are rotten.
At that time, because she summoned the imperial doctor in the house, she wore soft shoes, not like she would wear boots when she went out on weekdays, in this cold and snowy place, the shoes had already been frozen, and her feet were also frozen, and this time it was broken, and there was no way to walk.
Miao Jinxiu and Chen Linlin contributed their belts, and Li Yuntong wrapped the belts around his feet, temporarily made a pair of shoes, and continued to walk forward.
Seeing that Li Yuntong didn't shout tiredness or bitterness along the way, he didn't rely on his own identity to order them to change their shoes and use them...... Miao Jinxiu couldn't help but feel a little admiration, and Chen Linlin directly flattered, "The concubine has never seen a woman like Zanmeng, she is so responsible and courageous!" The concubines really admired. ”
Li Yuntong smiled dumbly, "The three of us fled together, do you say this to praise me or yourself?" Alright, don't talk about that, if any of you have something to eat, give me some. ”
When those people fed her water and porridge, she was worried that there was medicine in it that would make her continue to sleep, so she pretended to be unconscious, and her teeth were tightly closed, and she did not eat much, and she was already hungry at this time.
Chen Linlin hesitated for a moment, and took out two pieces of dim sum from her purse, which she had made to bring to Solang Deji to taste, but the two had an argument, and she forgot to give it out.
"Zanmeng use a little, concubines sometimes get dizzy, so they will have some candy and snacks on their bodies." She also took two pieces to Miao Jinxiu, "Miao Guiren is also hungry, you can eat a little more." ”
The snack was only half the size of a thumb, even if the four of them were put together, they could be eaten in one bite, seeing that Chen Linlin didn't keep a piece, and gave it all to Zanmeng and herself, Miao Jinxiu pinched a piece and stuffed it into Chen Linlin's mouth, "Don't patronize us, eat a little yourself." ”
Li Yuntong also only took a piece and ate some clean snow together. It's not that she's not hungry, it's just that she doesn't know when the people from Songtsen Gampo will be able to find them, and maybe this little bit of snack is the only food they have on their escape.
It is better to keep a little thought in mind than to be completely hopeless when there is no hope.
Just when the three of them felt that they couldn't hold on, they suddenly saw a wooden house in the woods.
Although it was just a small wooden house with a thick roof covered with snow and no one cleaned the snow in front of the door, in their eyes, it was undoubtedly as attractive as the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
Miao Jinxiu was so excited that she almost cried out and cheered: "Great, there is a room, maybe there are people in the house, we can ask for some water to drink and some food!" ”
"Don't think about good things, those people in this forest don't dare to come in, I'm afraid it's weird. And the snow in front of the door is so thick, where will there be people? Chen Linlin squinted her eyes slightly, leaned weakly on a stick, and stretched out her hand to grab Miao Jinxiu, who wanted to run to the other side of the house, "Don't act rashly, look at the movement." ”
"Since there is a house, even if there is no one, there may be some food inside...... Li Yuntong also felt strange, but if they didn't find something to eat at this time, they might not be able to go out, even if those people didn't dare to come into the forest, as long as they kept besieging them, they would starve to death.
"Then the concubine will go and investigate, you will stay here first, if there is anything wrong, leave me alone, and run west as originally planned." Miao Jinxiu looked at the room, swallowed her saliva and said.
She was so hungry that it was as if a few little hands were twisting in her stomach.
Even if it was Longtan Tiger's Den, she had to find something to eat.
Chen Linlin stopped her, "Don't go, I'll go, you speak recklessly, what if someone inside misses something?" Or I'll go. ”
Without waiting for Chen Linlin to lift her feet, Miao Jinxiu grabbed her and pulled her back, "You can't even walk, in case something happens, you don't have the strength to run, I'll go." ”
So saying, she walked three steps and two steps to the hut.
"Be careful, act when the opportunity arises." Li Yuntong admonished, and handed the wooden root in his hand to Miao Jinxiu, "Remember, at any time, life matters." ”
Seeing Miao Jinxiu holding a wooden stick and walking lightly towards the cabin, Chen Linlin looked at Li Yuntong and opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.
In terms of identity, at this time, either Miao Jinxiu will go or she will go, and there is no reason to let Zanmeng personally explore the way...... can think that if it weren't for himself, Zanmeng wouldn't have been able to escape at all, and at this time, when it comes to identity and status, Chen Linlin feels unwilling.
Her mind couldn't help but sound Solang Deji's words: Even if you are loyal to the Tang Princess, what's the use? There are too many people in front of her, where can I see you? You should have gone to bed a few months ago when you arrived in Tibet, what was the result? Like forgotten weeds, it fends for itself in this side courtyard, and it has been in Tibet for so long that it has been out once on the day of the ceremony...... Where is your Buddha? Where is your princess? In her eyes, you're just an ant, not worth mentioning!
