199 Hidden in the cellar
Rong Zhao took Ah Bao and ran back to the farm in a panic, "Oh no, the sunrise army is coming, it's in the woods in front, I think it's coming for us." β
Compared with Rong Zhao's panic, Xiao Junjue was much calmer, and only asked, "How many people are there?"
Rong Zhao's mind was messy, and his tongue was knotted in a hurry, "IΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· I Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· I don't know the specifics, I'm too panicked, I ran back with Po when I saw people, but it looks like a lot of people, at least a few hundred people, anyway, there are a lot of people hulala. β
"Let's get out of here first. "Since he has already found it, he must not be able to stay, and he can't make trouble for the old couple, Xiao Junjue decided to leave with Rong Zhao.
But he was stopped by the old man, "No, it's more dangerous for you to get out of here." Your injuries are not complete, and you can't use force. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You come with me." β
Xiao Junjue and Rong Zhao glanced at each other, and the old man frowned, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and follow me." β
Under the urging of the old man, Xiao Junjue and the others had to obey him. Xiao Junjue knew his own situation, if there were a few people at this time, he could handle it, but there were too many people, and he really couldn't guarantee that he could do it. Besides, it's not just him, but also Rong Zhao, and he can't let her have anything to do.
There was a cellar in the house, and the old man told them to hide under it. It's hidden, and it's easy to get noticed.
Ah Bao also took it down, afraid that it was the group of people who entered the cave, in case they recognized Ah Bao and involved the old couple.
The dark cellar was dark and damp, just like the dark cave, except for the smell of mold.
"Are you afraid?" Sitting side by side on the stone steps, Xiao Junjue took the lead in opening her mouth, and her deep voice made the cellar even more empty.
In the dark, Rong Zhao looked at him, stopped and leaned on his shoulder, "Don't be afraid, with you by my side, I'm not afraid." She smiled slightly, "Do you remember that time when we were in Meishan and we were stabbed in the street? You said to me, don't be afraid, I'm here." That sentence is so good, I'm really not afraid, and I'm very relieved. Since then, I just feel that as long as you are by my side, I am not afraid of anything. β
A casual remark was remembered by her, and Xiao Junjue's heart moved slightly. He slowly raised his arms, wrapped his arms around her, clasped her shoulders, and let out a heavy "um".
After a while, there seemed to be movement above, and there seemed to be a lot of people coming in the courtyard, and there was a noisy voice.
"What should we do, what if we are found?" Rong Zhao's heart was about to jump out of his heart, holding Xiao Junjue tightly with one hand and Ah Bao with the other.
Xiao Junjue lowered her voice, "Didn't you just say that you weren't afraid?" Knowing that she was afraid, Xiao Junjue tried her best to say something light.
Rong Zhao was so frightened that he even became delicate in his breathing, for fear that his breathing, which was trembling with fear, would be heard.
"Sir, we really don't have the person you're looking for. "The soldiers searched everywhere, and the house was a mess. The old woman dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, but also laughed with her.
The old man had always had his face down, staring horribly at the group of sunrise people who were not as good as beasts in his eyes. This is his enemy, and he wants to die with them.
Like the head of the group, he slashed into his chair, glanced at them with contempt, and paused in the old man's face.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "No, but that's not what someone said." β
With a wave of his hand, "Bring someone up." β
A man in a coarse blue coat ran out as soon as he slipped through the smoke, and the old woman was shocked when she saw it, isn't this the person who has brought them medicine these days?
She was worried in her heart, and quickly lowered her head, her hands at a loss, rubbing back and forth.
The man in Tsing Yi hunched his waist at the head of the soldier and beat Qian'er, as if he was a grandson, and the smile on his face was really full of chrysanthemums.
Looking at the old couple again, his flattering face immediately changed, as if he was supported by the Sunrise Army, and in the eyes of the old man, he was a living traitor.
"Aunt Ge, you should hand over the people quickly, otherwise it won't be good for you. He reprimanded.
The old woman calmed down and pretended not to know, "Who, I don't know what you're talking about." β
The man in Tsing Yi sneered: "Auntie, don't pretend to be stupid here, I came to deliver medicine to you in the past few days, but I saw two strange men here with my own eyes." β
Rong Zhao was wearing men's clothes, and he didn't see it clearly, so he thought it was two men.
"Don't think I don't know, the medicines you asked me to bring are all medicines for serious injuries, I think you two look good, and you don't look like injured people, aren't you just boiling for others?"
The old man was calm, clenched his fists, and really wanted to beat this traitor hard.
"Nonsense, what evidence do you have?" the old man shouted.
The old man's cheeks bulged out angrily, "You are a despicable villain, you slander others for the sake of other people's three melons and two dates, it's really despicable." β
The old woman said, "Yes, he is the one who lies to us." You have also seen it, sir, we have only these few houses here and outside, just our old couple, how can there be anyone else?"
The leader of the soldiers also thought so, looked at the man in green clothes, and raised his eyebrows.
"No, I'm not slandering, I'm telling the truth. The man in Tsing Yi affirmed.
He was sure in his mouth, but he was beating in his heart, and the key was that no one was found.
At this time, he regretted it a little, although a hundred taels of silver was tempting, but he was not ordered to take any flowers.
He was so heartbroken that he grabbed the collar of the old man's clothes and threatened: "If you know each other, you will hand them over quickly, otherwise you two old lives will be safeguarded." β
The old man shook him off, and he almost fell, snorted coldly, slammed at him, and scolded: "Dog thing." β
"You old man, it's really shameless, if you want to die, no one will stop you. The man in Tsing Yi said angrily.
"Hahaha......" The soldiers at sunrise laughed as if they were laughing as if they were laughing at them.
The man in Tsing Yi thought that he had pleased them like this, and nodded at the others, his face was full of flattery, so he bowed one by one.
He also threatened the old man, "I tell you, if you want to live, you must hand over the people quickly." β
The old man raised his eyebrows coldly, and the muscles on his face trembled like spasms, "Are you from Da Zhou?"
The man in Tsing Yi was stunned, "What do you mean?"
The old woman dragged the old man tightly, shouting over and over again in her heart, don't say it, old man, don't say it.
The old man glanced at her and gently pushed her hand away, "You are a Great Zhou person, but you lead the way for the enemy to search for our soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, do you say that you are still worthy of being a Great Zhou person? You remember, traitors don't end well. β
Thinking of his two sons who died in battle, the old man's surging heart couldn't be suppressed, his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he said categorically: "I tell you, don't say that there is no one you are looking for, even if there is, I will not hand it over." β
"You- you're so shameless, tired of being alive. The man in Tsing Yi was a little ashamed at first, but he disappeared in an instant, and he didn't expect to see the old man's attitude so resolute. He was a little scared now, he was the one who brought people here, and if he couldn't find anyone, he was not allowed to be knifed.
The old man smiled coldly and said, "I've lived so long, I'm tired of living for a long time." There was no trace of fear on his face, and he looked at death as if he were at home.
"Good, good. The soldier leader applauded three times, "It turns out that Da Zhou also has a good man, and I can see it today." He glanced at the man in Tsing Yi and said with disdain, "Otherwise, I thought that the people of Da Zhou were all bad seeds." β
He looked around, but saw the Great Zhou military uniform that had not yet had time to be put away on the bed. The old woman was so frightened that she forgot to put it away.
"Where's the man?" asked the soldier leader, holding his clothes.
The old man was calm, raised his chin and said, "Let's go." β
The man in Tsing Yi became energetic when he heard this, like a dog, "Official, you are right, they took in the person you are looking for." β
The leader of the soldiers didn't look at him, only stared at the old man, "Where did they go?"
"I don't know. The old man held a large cigarette stick in his hand, knocked it on the table, re-lit a puff of cigarette, and took a puff, "I know that I won't say anything." That is the iron-clad hero of our Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as he returns to the barracks, you will get out of our Great Zhou sooner or later at sunrise. β
A small soldier next to him stuck to the soldier's leader and whispered: "General, the person should have run away, this old man is here to delay us, let's hurry up and chase it." β
The soldier leader nodded, and the soldier asked, "Then what do they do?"
The soldier's grim gaze stopped one by one on the old couple and the man in Tsing Yi, and suddenly his voice was raised, "King Chu, come out, I know that you are near here, and you can hear me talking." I, Shuha, have always respected heroes, and as long as you show up, I promise not to kill you. β
After listening to it, there was still no response, he continued, mocking: "I didn't expect that the dignified King of Great Zhou Chu is also a greedy person who is afraid of death, no wonder you Great Zhou people are all bad seeds." Well, since you don't come out, I'll have to kill someone. I'll count to three, and if you don't come out, these people will die for you. β
There was a heavy sound of footsteps overhead, and dust scattered as soon as he stomped his feet, Rong Zhao grabbed Xiao Junjue tightly, "You can't go out." β
"Oneβ"
"If I don't go out, they'll die. Xiao Junjue clenched her fists, and her bones "gurgled".
"Twoβ"
"If you go out, you're going to die. Xiao Junjue, it's not that I'm selfish. Think about it, even if you get out, will you be able to save them? Won't they still die?"
"Three-"
The plank above his head was stomped heavily, accompanied by this last sound.
"If the people of the northern plains want to be saved, they will also be saved. Xiao Junjue couldn't do anything to see death and not save him, he broke Rong Zhao's fingers one by one, pressed her shoulder, and told her: "Don't move here, no matter what happens, don't go out." β
