Chapter 150: Hanging Pot (2)
Chu Zhixia touched into the cottage and saw a room with lights on. This is the edge of the cottage, which should be remote and silent, but the pouring rain can't cover the groans of pain. Chu Zhixia touched the window against the root of the wall, heard the continuous coughing sound, and immediately covered his mouth and nose with a black scarf.
"I can prescribe medicine for you, but I must see my young lady first."
Hearing this, Chu Zhixia quietly pushed open a line of windows with the hilt of his sword, making the sound in the room more clear.
It was a woman who spoke, with a clear and firm bite that could not be refused.
"Your lives are in our hands, and you dare to bargain? Your young lady will soon be the lady of our big boss, everyone is a family, I advise you not to be embarrassed! The bandit spat and said contemptuously.
Chu Zhixia listened silently.
This is clearly where the bandits house the plague-infected people. Wang Biao was hindered by the so-called "brotherhood", and did not dare to directly throw the sick people out to fend for themselves, and under the pretext of healing everyone, he took Tan Yun captive and plundered him up the mountain. He didn't really want to save people, his goal was to talk about Yun alone from beginning to end.
The bandits inside were obviously afraid of the plague, and they scolded and pushed the female doctor out. He was about to step out of the door when he heard the sound of his cervical vertebrae snapping, and he lost consciousness. Chu Zhixia held his head and put him to the ground, quickly and lightly closed the door, and turned his head to hold up a finger at the surprised woman.
"My surname is Chu." Chu Zhixia said softly, "The 'Miss' you are talking about, but the granddaughter of the former Ministry of Rites, Tan Yun?" ”
The woman nodded vigorously and said nervously, "Your Excellency knows my master?" ”
"I don't know it, I just hear about it." Chu Shixia said, "I'm here to save you, how many of you are there, and where are you being held?" ”
The woman told Chu Shixia in detail about the location where the doctors were being held, how many people were guarding them, and how Tan Yun was being held in solitary confinement. Chu Zhixia was surprised to find that although she was afraid, she was not flustered, and she explained the road she had traveled clearly.
Chu Zhixia instructed: "You go back first, if someone asks where the person who brought you has gone, you just have to say that you don't know." When a fire breaks out in the cottage, you manage to rush to the gate with someone, and someone will answer you. ”
——
Wang Biao's wishful thinking proclaimed that Tan Yun was about to become his wife, and the lifeless cottage even began to put up lights in such a hurry that no one noticed that the person who had taken the doctor to see the patient had not returned.
The muddy ground was bright with water, and the splash seemed to be hundreds of small silver fish churning.
Chu Zhixia hid in the shadows and saw groups of mothers-in-law pouring into a room with flower crowns and wedding dresses. Chu Zhixia had a plan in his heart, and waited patiently for the group of mothers-in-law to withdraw in disgrace before he climbed in through the window.
The red tent in the house was warm and fragrant, the red dress embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water was left on the ground, and the flower crown decorated with pearls and jade was also smashed into a mess. The girl in plain clothes stood in the room, and when she saw Chu Zhixia who broke in, she was not afraid at all, and raised her pointed chin to examine her.
Chu Zhixia took off her hat and brushed up her wet forehead hair, so that she could see her face clearly, and asked at the same time, "Yanzhou Tanyun?" ”
Tan Yun looked at her, vigilant as a small animal with pricked up ears, "Who are you?" ”
"Chu clan in the clouds, Chu Zhixia." Chu Zhixia's face was soaked white by the cold rain, and he showed a slightly appreciative smile before asking, "Is Miss Tan safe and sound?" ”
Tan Yun thought about it for a while, and replied: "You are the daughter that the Chu clan in the clouds sent to the imperial capital, I remember you." I'm fine. Why are you here? ”
"It's a long story, the thieves who stayed at the bottom of the mountain to take care of the aftermath were served by us, and I only knew you were here." Chu Zhixia opened the window, and the heavy rain that came in completely buried her wet footprints.
"How many soldiers do you have?" Tan Yun's eyes lit up with a little fire.
"Less than a hundred." Chu Shixia said, "I have ordered someone to go to the local county guard office to transfer troops, and go back and forth for at least one night." ”
Tan Yun was a little discouraged, "There are at least four hundred bandits here. ”
"I can directly kill Wang Biao and take you away, but I can only take one person away." Chu Zhixia said almost cold-bloodedly, "As long as Miss Tan is willing to let go of those servants and doctors of yours." ”
Tan Yun shook his head, "They came after me, and I can't abandon them." I can negotiate with Wang Biao and drag your soldiers and horses to you. ”
"He's going to marry you, aren't you afraid?" Chu Zhixia looked at her playfully.
"Marry me, not kill me. As long as people are alive, there is room for them. Tan Yun took a deep breath, puffed up his chest slightly, and said.
Chu Zhixia exclaimed: "Good girl. She thought of something, and asked, "Miss Tan's trip, how many people know your whereabouts?" ”
Tan Yun thought for a while and said: "Binzhou and his party did not deliberately conceal it, from recruiting doctors to preparing medicinal herbs, the people of Yanzhou can know it with a little inquiry. What's wrong? ”
Chu Shixia felt that something was a little subtle wrong.
Wang Biao is just a bandit, if he knew that Tan Yun had the intention to come to Binzhou to treat people infected with the plague, how could he be so clear about her whereabouts? If it's a coincidence, it's too far-fetched. Besides, Binzhou is in such a situation, but anyone who does not have two or two pig brains in his head should know the preciousness of the doctor, even if he has bad intentions, he will not be exposed so quickly.
Unless he is sure, after marrying Tan Yun and offending the powerful people of Yanzhou, he can retreat from Binzhou.
Chu Zhixia vaguely guessed the truth, and rarely felt a little ridiculous.
"Protect yourself, I'm afraid someone wants to lend you to the King of Qi to stumble." Chu Zhixia patted her on the shoulder and asked, "Do you need a dagger or something?" ”
Tan Yun wrinkled the tip of his nose and politely refused: "No need." ”
She has studied medical books since she was a child, and even if Chu Shixia gave her a knife, she would not use it.
——
Chu Zhixia hid in an ancient tree with lush foliage, and as soon as Tan Yun opened the window, he could see the dense canopy. Chu Zhixia brushed aside a bunch of branches and leaves, watched Wang Biao leave Tan Yun's house with a smile, and the mother-in-law who went and returned combed Tan Yun's sideburns.
Gradually, the rain stopped, but the darkness came like a tide.
It's dark.
Tan Yun pushed open the window and half-leaned against the window. She is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she has a kind of pure and dusty temperament, as if everything in the world is dust under her eyes. Chu Zhixia observed her quietly, and in a trance, he actually felt that Tan Yun was a bit like Huo Wenqing.
Chu Zhixia breathed deeply, these three words always made her heart ache.
Tan Yun stared in the direction of Chu Zhixia for a long time, so long that Chu Zhixia thought that his hiding had revealed a flaw. But Chu Zhixia quickly reacted, Tan Yun was looking at the flowers under the tree. The purple flowers that bloom in the bushes are clustered and resemble lilacs.
Tan Yun suddenly jumped up and opened the door. The mother-in-law guarding the door was startled, and thought that the official lady who had finally figured it out had repented, and stared at her nervously.
"Is there a clove in the cottage?" Tan Yun asked.
"How can there be cloves in the cottage, if the lady wants it, just send someone down the mountain tomorrow to buy it." The mother-in-law replied resignedly.
"Nope." Tan Yunliu's eyebrows were upside down, and he said arrogantly, "It is a custom in my family that cloves must be used in the wedding ceremony. You big bosses want to marry me, but you don't even have this sincerity? Tell him, "If there is no clove in this wine, I will never worship the church." ”
The mother-in-law was puzzled: "It has just rained so heavily, and now it's dark again, and I really can't go down the mountain." ”
Tan Yun sneered and said, "What kind of thing are you, and you are qualified to bargain with me?" Asked Wang Biao to roll over, he just pointed to the sky and touched the ground, and the words of the mountain alliance and the sea oath, and the five thunders in the sky came out, and now he is pushing three and four for a little clove. ”
Tan Yun took off the flower crown on his head and slammed it on the ground, and said angrily: "Don't you think that I Tan Yun is trapped here, and I can't let him be cheap?" Tan Yun was about to pull out the hairpin and kill herself, which scared the mother-in-law so much that she couldn't possess her body, and promised to find cloves for her in a row.
Everyone in the cottage knows that Wang Biao is in a hurry to cook raw rice and mature rice. If the marriage is delayed for this trivial matter, Wang Biao naturally does not dare to talk about it, and those who suffer are the subordinates who do things.
Chu Zhixia couldn't figure out what Tan Yun wanted to do, so he saw the group of mothers-in-law squatting at the door and muttering, so he hugged the basket and went to the bushes to pick flowers. Such flowers are not uncommon in cottages, they are everywhere, but no one knows what kind of flower they are, and no one cares.
Chu Zhixia's heart was beating suddenly, and Tan Yun obviously calculated that these mothers-in-law would not tell Wang Biao the truth, but would choose to use these flowers as cloves to perfunctory her.
What's so special about these flowers?
——
This marriage to catch ducks on the shelves has finally begun.
Tan Yun was helped by her mother-in-law to the temporary on-site worship hall, and Wang Biao smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth or eyes.
The red hijab adorned with tassels was covered, and no one could see what Tan Yun's expression was. Everyone is talking, Wang Biao has the courage and courage to pinch the lives of Miss Tanjia, and she has to obey if she doesn't obey. In the future, Wang Biao will be the son-in-law of the famous Yanzhou Tanjia.
Only Tan Yun knew that the palm of her hand holding the red silk was in a cold sweat.
Tan Yun forced himself to finish worshipping calmly, and was taken back to the wedding room.
The thieves in the hall told lewd jokes, and the clashing wine bowls were floating with tiny lilac petals, like grains of rice.
Tan Yun was restless in the room, and Wang Biao was helped in by two people. Tan Yun's back was tightly leaning against the window, staring at Wang Biao stiffly. Wang Biao was a little drunk, even a little nauseous, but as soon as he saw Tan Yun, he felt refreshed.
"Learn to become a martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family. Isn't it all for the sake of worshipping the marquis and hugging the beautiful girl? Wang Biao approached Tan Yun with a smile and touched her hand affectionately, "Lady, you promised well during the day, why are you scared again?" ”
Tan Yun's cold sweat wet his underwear layer by layer.
"Look, I agreed to whatever you said, and even if you want cloves, I ordered someone to collect them, and the mother-in-law picked them in the cottage for a long time." Wang Biao leaned in and wanted to kiss her, but Tan Yun stretched out his hand to block him, and his cold gaze made him shrink back.
"If you have drunk wine, you are a real husband and wife." The tip of Tan Yun's nose was full of Wang Biao's suffocating wine, and her heart was beating violently, deafening.
"Okay, but don't think a glass of wine will pour me down." Wang Biao smiled angrily, "Your husband and I are gentle, but I am not drunk with a thousand cups." ”
Tan Yun didn't speak, and the hand that poured the wine trembled slightly.
The amber liquor is filled with thin purple flowers.
Wang Biao drank all the wine in the cup, only to feel that the world was spinning for a while, and the desire to vomit became more and more rampant. He looked up a little delirious and saw Tan Yun standing straight in place, slowly pouring the wine on the ground.
"This is the first time in my life that I have killed someone," Tan Yun said softly as she slowly moved away from the struggling Wang Biao, "You are honored enough." ”
"Tan Yun: Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to go all over the world.
By the way, the problem of the update, due to the anti-theft mechanism, the progress of the Seven Cats will be one day slower than that of the vertical and horizontal. Then I want to try to change two chapters a day (4k), try it for four days first, and if it's busy, it's still 3k a day.
