Chapter 127: Trapped
Pearl directly wanted to put some firewood, rice, oil and salt, but that would be too suspicious. These things should be able to deal with them for a while now. When the fire was lit, the pearl did not let people add all the bamboo charcoal, only added a few pieces, because I don't know how long it will be outside, so this bamboo charcoal is better to save some.
The firewood picked up was very dry, a big fire was lit, Liu Zi boiled water, Pearl took out the cups in the carriage, and poured a cup of hot water for everyone to drink, don't look at the spring, it is still very cold at night.
There was nothing to eat this night, Pearl took out the box, picked a piece of jujube cake by herself, Sanniu picked a piece of red bean cake, and the rest was shared with a few people. Originally, Liu Qing and the others refused, but Pearl insisted that without three guards, it would be difficult for him and Sanniu, as well as Liu Zi and Qingfeng.
When everyone was full, Liu Qing discussed with Chu Yan and Chu Xiong, and they were on duty in shifts, and Pearl also gave them a blanket in their leather bags, which the three big men didn't want, but the women had a carriage, which was warm, and had thick clothes and blankets, which were much stronger than them. Because Pearl was pregnant, she naturally rested in the carriage. It's just that Qingfeng and Liu Zi had no choice but to lay on the floor by the fire outside, Pearl gave the rainproof cloth to the two girls, and the rest of the blanket was also given to them, and he and his sister covered themselves with thick clothes and spent the night.
It's just that in the middle of the night, there was a sudden movement, and although Pearl was in the car, he could hear it clearly.
"Who?"
"We are passing by, are we also from the capital?" And so saying, they came from the pearls on their way. A man walked by, followed by a carriage with a carriage, and came to the edge of the fire, and at this time everyone also saw them,
The man who had just spoken was dressed in an ordinary azure muslin robe, but his clothes were no longer neat, and although the carriage was drawn by two horses, the curtain of the carriage was gone, and there was only a woman in her forties, and a young man of fourteen or fifteen years of age beside him was wearing only a medium coat. All three had messed up their hair. The face is also dirty. It looks down, if it is in ordinary times, if you meet such a rich person on the road, the pearl will inevitably have a desire to make friends. But now. It's hard to protect yourself. I'm afraid of getting into trouble again, maybe even a white-eyed wolf.
Liu Qing and the Chu brothers both stood up and began to look at each other. Weigh the pounds. The young man in the car seemed to hear it, got out of the car, walked in front of Liu Qing and said,
"In Xia Wang Liang, a person from the capital, I went out to visit friends, I don't want to meet a homeless person, this time I came here to hide, I don't know where Zunjia is from?"
Pearl opened the car door and got out of the car, still wearing a Doro's cloak, and the three girls also got out of the car, and Liu Zi and Qingfeng next to her got out of the way.
"We are also from the capital, my surname is Liu, this is my sister, and the others are my family." Pearl stood up and said,
As soon as the middle-aged woman saw the person Pearl, plus the clothes on her body, she immediately realized that Pearl's identity was different, it must be the wife of the official family, and she was relieved a lot, and the young man frowned when he saw a person like Sister Pearl, without him, such a good-looking woman, so the homeless people and those bandits who fish in troubled waters, it is good not to bring them disasters, and it is difficult to ask them to help.
Wang Liang saw it at this time, and he was very disappointed, but it was good to have someone to accompany him. All said to Pearl, "Mrs. Liu, Miss Liu." ”
At this time, the middle-aged woman next to her spoke, "Hello Mrs. Liu, the concubine is the Zhao family, and she is waiting by the young master's side." It's also fate to meet on a narrow road, I don't know if I can give my young master something to eat? ”
"Mama Zhao!" Obviously, the young master was a little annoyed by the rude behavior of his subordinates.
Although Mama Zhao shrank for a while, considering the master's body, she still decided to persevere. Her performance made Pearl somewhat let down her guard, but she still didn't want people to get her hands dirty when it came to eating, so she said a word to Liu Zi, and then took her sister back to the carriage.
Pearl watched everyone's movements outside the car, Liu Zi added some more firewood to the fire, and then boiled the small kettle, because they didn't know when they would find a water source, and all their water still had to be saved. Pearl saw this, from the bag on the side of the bag to find a few pieces of snacks left over from the night, at dinner, Pearl was very tired, plus a little fire, did not eat much, others or for this reason, the other is, want to save food, do not want to starve to death later.
Of course, Pearl is not afraid of hunger, and there is enough food in the space, but what about the third sister? And I heard that it was an epidemic, Pearl herself is not a medical student, I don't know what the disease is, if it is still infected, then it will die, and her child has not grown up yet! Thinking of her two sons, Pearl felt a pain in her heart. At this time, Pearl is really a little resentful of Shang Mingqian, she is going to die here, why hasn't her good husband come yet? dropped the chain at a critical moment, I really don't know what to say about him.
In fact, this is really a misunderstanding of Ming Qian, he immediately sent someone to pick up his wife, but it was at this time that more and more people in the capital knew about the situation, the emperor ordered the city gate to be blocked, and began to send people down to see if his wife had returned, and the people who went came back and said that Mrs. would come back immediately. At that time, Ming Qian felt that something was wrong, and sent someone again, and waited for a long time, before the next person came to report that his wife was trapped, the city gate had long been blocked, and the road to the capital was barricaded, and there were officers and soldiers in some places.
Ming Qian almost fainted, it was going to be terrible now, so he hurried to General Yue's house. I begged General Yue to give an acquaintance in the barracks, but I was not at ease, so I went to the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion.
The old lady is now housekeeper again, Ming Qian said that he wanted to see the old lady, because she is the husband of the pearl, and the identity of the champion, so the porter hurriedly went in to report, Ming Qian soon saw the old lady, said that the pearl is now outside the city, the old lady heard it, immediately couldn't sit still, directly asked the girl to take the pen and paper, and then let Ming Qian go back to listen to the letter.
When Mingqian returned home, he sent out all his guards and asked them to find a way to find the pearl, and also agreed on a code. It was okay for the people of the capital to go out, and all of them went to meet the pearl with drinking water, some grain and silver, and even stoves and pots.
Ming Qian doesn't know how long the capital will be under martial law like this, but in the past few days, he will definitely not be able to come back, Ming Qian can only think about sending all the guards at home now, I hope that his wife will continue to carry forward the unexpected style of the past, and this time another miracle will be staged, he will definitely not let his wife encounter this kind of thing next time. Oops! It's terrible, his wife is gone, and there are two children at home who drink his father-in-law's family! He's really not in the mood to deal with them, he's more anxious than anyone else!
