Chapter 51: Self-Help II
Mrs. Zheng is actually not familiar with this young lady.
She is just a subordinate of the Suguo Mansion, how the head of the family and the wives command, how she acts.
When he was so nervous and dangerous, Xie Zhiyun just changed his face, and now he quickly calmed down and made a judgment, this Xie family's daughter didn't seem to know what it was to be afraid.
Zheng Niangzi didn't know, Xie Zhiyun was not not afraid, but above the fear was the instinct to survive.
She needs to calm herself down quickly, clearly judge the environment of the three of them, and carefully analyze what those people want to do, and only by analyzing their purpose can she know if they are in danger.
Now she roughly understood the motives of these people.
Xie Zhiyun saw Chaoyu clutching his sleeves tightly, and Zheng Niangzi's face was pale, and she was about to comfort them a few words, when she felt that the wheels of the carriage were pressed against something, and there was a loud bang.
Immediately after, the carriage stopped.
Xie Zhiyun wanted to look at it again, and he felt that there was an obscurity between heaven and earth, and something was directly covered by the carriage, obscuring the sky.
The three men in the carriage froze, and no one dared to move.
At this moment, Xie Zhiyun heard the neighing of horses, and the horses pulling the carriage seemed to have been untied from the carriage and taken away.
I heard only a creak, the sound of the door shut.
Puff, puff.
Xie Zhiyun could hear the violent heartbeats of the three people in the carriage.
The three of them were quiet in the dark carriage for a while, and there was no movement outside, and Xie Zhiyun moved his fingers slightly and lifted the curtain.
Sure enough, the outside of the curtain was covered with a thick layer of oilcloth, Xie Zhiyun touched it with his hand, maybe because of the urgency of time, the oilcloth was not tightly covered, it was more than a circle larger than the carriage, as long as the oilcloth was opened, he could also poke his head out and see the ground below.
Xie Zhiyun's voice was very soft and light, but it was like a reassuring pill, fed to Chaoyu and Zheng Niangzi.
"It's dark outside, the ground is flat land, we should be in a deserted house, or a ruined temple, anyway, the carriage has been parked in, and the deserted house outside should have been locked."
Those people didn't want to kill her personally, not only would it not be half beneficial to kill her, but it would also anger Wei and use all his strength to hunt her down.
Zheng Niangzi sat in the dark, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, she trembled her lips, and asked Xie Zhiyun: "Young lady, are we really not going to die?" ”
At this time, Chaoyu also eased up.
"Miss, we, how do we get out?"
Her voice trembled, but she still had this heart, but she was much more positive than Zheng Niangzi, who had experienced strong winds and waves.
Xie Zhiyun gently patted Chaoyu's hand to calm her down, and then pointed to the small square table next to the stool: "Let's see how much water there is." ”
Chao Yu pinched his leg hard, and then he shivered to see Fang Ji.
At this time, Mrs. Zheng spoke.
"Young lady, I prepared all the tea and snacks," Zheng Niangzi's voice was still a little trembling, but her breath was already panting, "There are two pots of water, two baskets of snacks, and a small plate of melon seeds, which are used to relieve the young lady's boredom." ”
Xie Zhiyun's face was calm, and he didn't seem to be afraid at all.
She lowered her eyebrows and pondered: "These are enough for us to last for two days, and at the speed of the little grandfather, we will definitely be able to find us soon, don't be afraid." ”
Although they are newlyweds, Xie Zhiyun has great trust in the garrison.
She trusted not her husband, but the prestigious major general.
Mrs. Zheng wanted to speak and stopped.
Xie Zhiyun glanced at her lightly.
Mrs. Zheng choked up, lowered her head and wiped her tears.
"Young lady, if that gang of thieves dares to kidnap the eldest young lady of the Suguo Mansion, they must have made sufficient preparations," Zheng Niangzi finally regained her senses at this moment, "Could they be so-so and leave traces?" ”
Xie Zhiyun's face was slightly gloomy: "Even so, the little grandfather will not give up searching for us, how can he find us in three days at the latest." ”
She reached out and tore down the curtain of the car, allowing the thick tarpaulin to appear in front of everyone.
"So let's not panic, eat less food and water, how can we survive three days," Xie Zhiyun found a small pair of scissors from Fang Jili and stabbed them on the tarpaulin, "The little grandfather must be searching for us, and in addition, we have to find a way to get out by ourselves." ”
Xie Zhiyun actually laughed at this moment.
"Maybe we'll be able to go home today."
Zheng Niangzi and Chaoyu were both calmed by her calmness, and the two of them couldn't help but calm down, but they didn't notice that Xie Zhiyun's hand holding the scissors was also trembling slightly.
She had never encountered anything like this, and it was false to say that she was not afraid.
But I'm afraid that I can't solve anything, her life is given by her mother, and she can't easily be damaged in the hands of these gangsters.
She wants to live well.
Xie Zhiyun asked the two of them, "Are you better?" ”
With her as the backbone, the fear in the hearts of the two people decreased, and they couldn't help but rely on her and try to obey her orders.
Xie Zhiyun saw that they were all looking at him, so he asked: "Zheng Niangzi, think about it yourself, this carriage still has a secret door, the outer door is locked, the window is too narrow, we can't get out." ”
Zheng Niangzi was stunned.
The safety of Weischen's carriage is the first priority, so the carriage has thick walls and is collision-proof, and it is not even flammable, so it will not walk in the water at will.
In other cases, the carriage was a natural refuge, but now it became a cage for them.
can thank Zhiyun for his understanding of Wei's father and son, they will never go all the way to the dark, and will always leave a back road.
Zheng Niangzi was taken aback by her question, and immediately said: "I'm not in charge of the carriage and horses, but I vaguely heard the Gu steward who was in charge of the carriage and horses said that the carriage does have a secret door." ”
Speaking of this, the joy on Zheng Niangzi's face almost glowed.
Her voice was full of joy, and she muttered: "Yes, yes, there is indeed a secret door, and there will be a secret door." ”
Xie Zhiyun's tense mind was also slightly relaxed.
She asked, "Then do you know where the secret door is?" ”
Zheng Niangzi was stunned.
She had indeed heard that there was a secret door in the carriage, but as for where the secret door was, she would not easily tell them, and she naturally did not know where the secret door was.
It was like a traveler who had been walking hungrily in the desert for several days, and saw an oasis in front of her in the distance, but when she arrived at the oasis, everything in front of her was nothing but a mirage.
At this moment, the frustration and pain were even stronger than just now.
Xie Zhiyun patted her shoulder gently, and the smile on her face seemed to shine in the darkness.
"What's the panic," Xie Zhiyun's voice was clear, "As long as we know that there is a secret door, there must be a mechanism, as long as we find the switch together, we can leave this carriage." ”
Xie Zhiyun can be called calm and relaxed.
"Since I was a child, I haven't been able to stump my puzzles," Xie Zhiyun's dark eyes looked at the two in front of him, "Don't worry, we will be able to get out of the carriage soon." ”
