Chapter 777: Prisoner Sacrifice Ceremony
The next morning, we arrived in Huining.
Gu Yunjiao and the others took one carriage and two ox carts into the city.
A group of soldiers sent them to a house, leaving a few men to guard them, and the rest left.
After walking for more than two months, I finally settled down temporarily.
Tian Pozi, Caiping, Hui Xiang, Lin Qiao, and they were busy tidying up the house, and Gu Yuheng and Uncle Dumb went to the well to fetch water.
There was no dust in the house, so someone should have come to clean it often.
Gu Yunjiao looked around with her stomach straight, the courtyard of the two entrances, the house was enough, and the furniture was there, but there were no covers, pots and pans.
Waiting for Gu Yuheng to fetch water, Gu Yunjiao took a silver ingot and gave it to him, "Dad, you can try it later, just say that you want to go out to buy something, and the soldiers guarding the door will not let you go out." ”
Gu Yuheng walked to the door and said a few words to the soldier, who shook his head.
Gu Yuheng turned around and said to Gu Yunjiao: "They didn't let me go out, saying that they wanted to buy things, so they could only send the people in the family out to buy." ”
Gu Yunjiao sighed, called Mrs. Tian and Uncle Dumb, and said while gesturing, "Buy a thin quilt, buy it by head, and buy a mattress too, now it looks like it's still summer, it's cold in the morning and evening, besides, it's already August, and it's going to be autumn soon." ”
"If you buy pots and pans, you have to buy me a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
"Buy some more rice and vegetables, and I'll have to cook later."
Gu Yunjiao couldn't think of anything else for a while, "That's all for now, and then buy what you lack." ”
"Uncle dumb catches the car, you guys go out and be careful."
The dumb uncle drove the car and Tian Pozi away.
Gu Yunjiao entered the house and said to Mrs. Wu: "When I buy pen and ink, I will prescribe a prescription for my mother." ”
Mrs. Wu nodded and whispered: "As long as my dantian can recover, the internal force will be able to come back soon, and then we will find a way to escape." ”
Gu Yunjiao touched her stomach and smiled bitterly: "I'm just afraid that I have to wait until I give birth to this child." ”
It's inconvenient to run with a big belly, and it's also inconvenient to disguise, it's not so easy to go back to Dachu, thousands of miles.
Mrs. Wu nodded, "Actually, it's fast, didn't you say last time that the due date was the end of November, and it was only three months." ”
The two quietly discussed a few more words, and decided that from now on, they would prepare for the escape every day.
How to avoid these guards, as well as the escape route, you have to think carefully every day, so that there will be no loopholes.
Mrs. Tian and Uncle Dumb went for a long time and didn't come back.
Fortunately, there was still some leftover rice, as well as the big iron pot, and the porridge was cooked in the color screen, and everyone ate some indiscriminately.
It was almost evening that the dumb uncle drove the carriage back.
Everyone went out to help get something.
Cai Ping muttered, "Why did you go for so long?" ”
Mrs. Tian sighed, "The girl doesn't know, several streets are not allowed to leave, saying that there is a prisoner sacrifice ceremony." ”
"We don't know each other well, and I have a hard time listening to their accents, and they have a hard time listening to me, so it was hard to find a place to buy things."
She paused, "I heard them say that the Empress Dowager, as well as the Emperor and the Empress, all took off their shirts, wore sheepskins, and knelt on the ground to kowtow to the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom. ”
Hui Xiang said in surprise: "No, the queen mother and the queen also want to undress?" ”
Tian Pozi nodded vigorously, "Not only that, but those princesses and concubines are the same, they all took off their shirts and knelt down to kowtow to the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and people all over the street are talking about this." ”
Tian Pozi was embarrassed to say how unbearable those Jin people said.
The men, in particular, spat and blew their eyebrows when they said it.
