Chapter 81: Waiting
Many times people don't feel pain and fear, but when it's all over, these feelings come back in double.
The secreted adrenaline has passed, although the flame on the hand has been extinguished, but the slightest contact between the skin and the burnt clothing will bring a tingling sensation that makes the corners of the eyes twitch, the feet have no strength, and they can't stand up at all, the punch in the temple just now has some faint signs of concussion, and the things in front of him have some ghosting, and they can't see it in a daze.
The only left hand that was still intact was also hit by a desperate blow from the big man and some joints were misplaced, Gu Huai tried to raise his hand, and found that there was no way to control the opening and closing of the five fingers... It should be dislocated.
At this time, Gu Huai looked extremely embarrassed, his hair was scattered, the green shirt on his body was also full of stains and bloodstains, his left hand was shrugged, the sleeve of his right hand had been burned to pieces, and even his arms had become black, occasionally revealing some red and blistered skin.
There are three corpses lying in the kitchen, and there is another one at the door, all of which look quite miserable, cutting throats and headshots, this kind of narrow road encounter and desperate fight scene Gu Huai has never encountered in his two lives combined, but the only thing that can be fortunate is probably that he survived.
The bamboo house was already flammable, and the fire rose, Gu Huaixin rejoiced with palpitations, and when he was relieved, he gritted his teeth and got up and walked in a pool of blood, breaking the water tank in the corner of the kitchen.
The water overflowed, flowing through the fat woman who was cooking rice and flowing through the man who died unclearly, and the big man who almost killed Gu Huai's eye sockets overflowing with red and white things, and finally flowed to the feet of the half-grown child at the kitchen door, a mess, but the fire gradually became smaller after all, Gu Huai thought about it, left this tragic picture, walked into the room where the men were resting before, and struggled to find it.
After a while, Gu Huai's surprised laughter sounded, several bottles and cans appeared in the box, he picked up a bottle and looked at the words on it, although the "gold sore medicine" was written very ugly, but it was somewhat recognizable, so he leaned back on the chair with great difficulty, and slowly poured the porcelain bottle and spilled some medicine on his arm.
It's just that a dislocation is not very easy to deal with... Gu Huai doesn't know how to straighten his bones, and he is not sure what the consequences will be if he breaks his shoulder, he can still hold the knife more or less now, and if he is completely unconscious by then, it will be really fun.
After finding a bandage and tying an ugly knot, after doing these things, Gu Huai breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed that he should have survived this time.
It's just a bit of a pity... I couldn't ask where these people came from.
His life is threatened, and Gu Huai is not afraid to use the knife to fight hard... The only question is whether he can fight, he doesn't feel guilty about using knives against women and children, and those who want to kill are killed... The truth in the world has always been so simple and straightforward.
The boat stopped at the water's edge, but it was impossible to escape silently, and if you escaped, you might not be able to find a way, and if you were caught up, there would really be no way to live, this is the case, Gu Huai had no choice but to kill, and if she couldn't do it, she could drag them and run away, but Gu Huai really didn't expect these people to be so fierce.
If there is another accident in the midst of so many accidents... Maybe it's the burly man who survives now.
Of course, it would be a surprise to find out who these people really are.
There are a lot of broken words I heard, but I still don't have a clue about the combination, I can only be sure that the few I expected before should not be either, otherwise he would not have been taken out of Beiping, and he was also interrogated about his relationship with Yanwangfu... Now it seems like a little person who came to the behemoth of Yanwang's Mansion to bring about an unwarranted disaster.
Could it be the imperial court?
Since he decided to follow Zhu Di, Gu Huai is naturally not afraid of trouble and threats, but this time the situation is different, there is no clue at all, I only feel that someone is staring at me in the dark, but I can't see the person's appearance clearly, this feeling is particularly maddening.
The pain continued to come, Gu Huai felt out a wine jar and took a sip of wine, thinking about the appearance of those people before they died, and when he suppressed some of his body sluggishness a little, he stood up and looked around the bamboo house again, found something unexpected, and went out to look at the stream and the boat.
The water is not in a hurry, and I don't know where it will go if it goes down the water... The bamboo forest next to the bamboo house is dense, and it is not easy to walk when you enter the road, but it must not be easy to chase... You can see a mountain in the distance, this should be in the mountains, but I don't know how far away it is from Beiping...
Thinking like this, he hesitated for a moment and untied the boat, but instead of going up, he quietly watched the boat drift away with the current.
Then he turned around, looked at the bamboo house again, and lifted his footsteps.
The door closed, and the bamboo forest changed back to its quiet appearance.
It's already getting dark, and it's time for someone to come... Presumably it will come.
He thought so.
......
"Madam, ma'am, it's so noisy outside, why don't you go out?"
"I have to go and take inventory, otherwise I won't worry," Song Jia, who hadn't seen her for two months, got up with the support of the maid, "The two shopkeepers are newly hired, don't stare at it for fear of accidents." ”
She was already a little pregnant, wearing a looser white dress, her face became more and more pale, and she felt a little exhausted, and the maid could only helplessly call someone to urge the carriage, and carefully supported her wife for fear that she would be beaten and scolded if she was not good.
Madame's temper is getting worse and worse... Since the occasional news of that person came to the house, Mrs. likes to drop things, but the people in the house are staring at Mrs. Belly, seeing that they are getting older day by day, Pu Hong, who has had gossip, is dead again, and the son-in-law who has entered the house has left the Song Mansion... It's no wonder that Madame is always a little sensitive.
And these days, the Song Mansion is really hurt... A shopkeeper said goodbye to the old, a shopkeeper ran away, the car and horses fell, the harvest of the shop fell by more than half at once, and the medicinal materials could not be sold and put in the warehouse, but the shopkeeper who used it was cooked... What is broken is the sophistication of the people in Beiping over the years.
However, after this incident, Madame seems to be much more cautious and mature, not only has to look at the accounts every day, but also occasionally goes out to discuss business in person.
I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing...
In between drinking porridge, Song Jia stroked her hair: "When the day is about to dawn, the movement is a little big, is someone coming to the door?" ”
The maid's heart jumped: "There are some soldiers from the Yan Wangfu who came to look for people, but I heard that this is the Song Mansion... And they walked around. ”
"What does it have to do with the Song Mansion?" Song Jia frowned, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Aunt... Uncle. ”
"Bang dang." The white bowl containing the porridge fell, and Song Jia turned his head: "The people from Yanwangfu are looking for him?" ”
"It's... I heard that my uncle became a guest of the palace, but I don't know what happened..."
"Keqing..."Song Jia's eyes flashed with monstrous hatred, "It's really rising step by step..."
The maid didn't dare to breathe, and lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.
However, the expected anger and venting did not come, and Song Jia's face was calm: "Bring another bowl of porridge." ”
"Yes, ma'am."
Song Jia lowered her head and stroked her bulging belly, her eyes were misty: "Child, grow up quickly..."
"Gu Huai, if you really die, then it's still a hundred, if you don't die..."
"I'll leave it to you, kid."
