316 encounters the Assassins
Song Shaoguang was seriously injured and fainted lying on the ground, Que Du and Gao Wu were not seriously injured, and Baien and Baixi and others had wounds on their arms that were scratched by arrows, of different depths.
Yun Yige had messy hair, holding the assassin's sword in her hand, blood was dripping from the sword, she was hit by a sword in her right shoulder, and after throwing away the sword in her hand, he and Zhu'er half leaned on the broken carriage, cold sweat broke out on her aching forehead.
"Yun Yige, who have you offended?" Que Du sat on the ground tiredly, leaning his upper body against the trunk of the tree, and it could be seen that the main target of this group of people was Yun Yige.
"I'm the one who bothered everyone." Yun Yige looked at the injured friend and the secret guard, and realized that all the way was the people from the Xuan Ming Secret Sect protecting her safety, and Yu Ze was obviously extraordinary in this wave.
Anger burned in her eyes, who was going to kill her? Everyone is hurt.
She pressed her hand on the wound on her right shoulder, crawled to the medicine box and took out the medicine powder to give everyone medicine.
"Princess, I'll come." Bai En helped her sit down, and took out different medicines from the medicine box to clean everyone's wounds according to her instructions, and Gao Wu also went to help according to Que Du's instructions.
After dealing with the wounds, Que Du, who has always shown the image of a noble son, was embarrassed at the moment, he looked at the broken carriage and the frightened horses, and secretly said that he could not leave Yuze today, and he wanted to buy a new horse and prepare the carriage to go on the road again.
"Let's go, go find a family nearby." Que Du patted the dust on his body, but the dirt on his sleeve couldn't get it off, and he kicked the trunk of the tree in annoyance.
This kick was full of anger, very hard, and the yellow fruit bamboo knots on the tree fell to the ground with a crackle.
"Ahh When the fruit hit his head, he exclaimed.
Yun Yige was a little hesitant, if she lived in a nearby cottage, she was worried that the assassins would come to her door and bring disaster to the innocent villagers.
"Don't worry, at least there won't be any more Assassins today." Que Du looked at her face full of worry and said.
Yun Yige handed over an inquiring look.
"The Assassins here today are a well-known organization, do you know how much it costs to invite them? Even if you are rich, you can't stand such a burn. Moreover, those secret guards who follow you are not jealous, and they have already fought several waves of assassins. ”
Que Du tore off the mask of the assassin who fell in a pool of blood, pulled open the collar of his clothes and looked at it, and saw the tattoos on it, these gangs asked for a very high price, and the news spread quickly after the mission failed, so naturally no one would send their lives to the door.
"Hey, you didn't get the fruit!"
While a few people were talking, a rough old man strode out angrily, glanced at the broken fruits on the ground distressedly, pointed to Que Du's nose and scolded: "Rabbit cub, do you know that these dozen fruits can be sold for half a tael of silver!" Our whole family is just waiting to exchange this money for food! ”
The old man had a dry cigarette in his hand, he wore a straw hat, his skin was dark, his cheeks were red, he looked unrefreshed, there was a little stubble on the corners of his mouth, and a pair of brown eyes were sunken in the sockets.
was scolding, Que Du's right shoulder suddenly came with a pain, turned his head, it was a seven or eight-year-old boy who was missing two front teeth and was holding a slingshot to hit him, the boy was angry, and when he saw that he was hit, he laughed "hey, hey, hey".
Just because this man kicked on the tree, he won't be able to eat sugar gourds this year. Stinky man, damn it!
"You bad old man, who do you call a little rabbit? This is ......" Gao Wu covered the knife on his buttocks, glaring at the rough old man, not to be outdone.
Que Du grabbed him, and said to the old man kindly: "We will pay you the money for this fruit, if it is convenient at home, can you keep us for one night, there is no inn nearby." ”
Several of them were injured and needed a place to have a good meal and rest.
Seeing that the old man was full of vigilance, Que Du continued: "The price is negotiable, we will definitely not live in vain, and we will leave at dawn when we buy the horses and carriages." ”
Que Du calculated the footsteps, when he came out of the capital, he had already written a letter to Yaowanggu, Yaowanggu had already sent someone to pick them up, and when they left Yuze and passed Quanzhou, they should be able to meet the people sent by Yaowanggu.
"Seriously? Alright, come in with me! Liu Guan'er, put away your slingshot, you can't afford to lose money if you hurt someone and sell you! The old man hesitated, heard that they gave money, weighed it and decided to let them live in his own house, he glared at the little boy, raised his hand and slapped the little boy on the buttocks.
A group of people walked into the house, the room was not big, the wall was often smoked, some blackened, there was a brown wooden table and a few benches in the center, and there were straw hats hanging on the wall.
"Yo, there's a guest coming?"
Liu Guan'er's mother, Xue, is of medium height, slightly chubby, fair-skinned, and her eyes are slightly narrowed, and she is very kind. The silver hair on his head was half-hidden, and he was dressed in gray-white coarse cloth, which was very clean and tidy. When I laugh, the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes show the signs of age.
When she saw Yun Yige, her eyes lit up, and she rubbed her hands on her clothes to wipe the dust off Yun Yige's face: "This girl looks so handsome!" I've lived for so long, and I've never seen such a handsome girl! ”
"I'm sorry." Yun Yige smiled at her, Zhu'er, Bai'en and Baixi helped pour tea, she watched the interaction of several people, and guessed that Liu Guan'er was the son of the two, and Xu was the son of the old man.
Que Du glanced at Gao Wu, and Gao Wu knowingly took out some broken silver and put it on the table: "This is the money to buy vegetables and meat!" ”
Xue Shi bluntly said that he gave too much, and the old man winked at him, warned her not to say what she shouldn't say, and put all the broken silver in his pocket.
Dried sweet potatoes, peppers, and dried corn are neatly stacked on the window frames and eaves. After Xue Shi was busy for a while, he brought sesame crispy baked cakes, stir-fried sweet potato roots, jade shoots and bracken, and a large bowl of fragrant corn soup.
"I'll clean up the backyard in a moment."
After a few people thanked them, they sat around drinking hot soup and eating cakes, Gao Wu muttered how there was not even a piece of meat, Xue Shi said that now there is a famine, it is already very good to have rice and noodles to eat, where can I still eat meat.
The last time they ate meat was a pheasant that the old man caught from the mountains last year.
Que Du was surprised, the nobles in the capital ate with big fish and meat, and the whole chicken that could not be eaten was thrown away directly, but the villages and towns adjacent to the capital would even cut off the supply of rice and noodles.
Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.
Yun Yige also fell into deep thought, in places where there was a disaster, the imperial court allocated disaster relief funds, and this silver was not implemented, whose pocket did it go into?
……
On the other side, in a big mansion in the capital.
After Chu Wenrui received the news, he opened the note excitedly and excitedly.
