Three: Attacked
After several days of hurrying, Ye Chuchu was exhausted, and he leaned on the collapse softly.
"Red Kite, how long will it take to get to the camp?"
The red kite lifted the curtain and went out, and came back a little later.
"Miss, I asked, and the eldest brother of the guard said that he could get to the camp as soon as it was dark."
Ye Chuchu nodded weakly.
With a "boom-" sound, an arrow shot into the carriage and stuck straight into the wooden plank, Ye Chuchu sat up in fright.
Then the sound of the sword being drawn was heard, and the chief of the guard hurriedly asked, "Miss, are you alright?" ”
Ye Chuchu settled down and asked, "It's okay, what's going on in front of you?" ”
"If you encounter a gang of bandits, don't worry, Miss, I'm guarding the carriage here, and it will be solved in a while."
Ye Chuchu sat in the carriage and heard the sound of fighting outside, faintly smelled the smell of blood, clenched the dagger in his hand, and couldn't help but worry in his heart, and the red kite next to him also stared nervously at the curtain.
Someone shouted "Get out of the way", and then the surroundings fell silent for a moment.
Ye Chuchu held the dagger and oozed cold sweat, and shouted tentatively, "Captain of the guard? ”
Then the curtain was lifted violently, and a hairy thief with a scar on his face saw Ye Chuchu in the carriage and laughed lewdly.
"Owner of the village, come and see, there are two little beauties in this car."
Wang Er was about to climb into the carriage as he spoke, and stretched out his hand to grab Ye Chuchu. Ye Chuchu quickly picked up the dagger and stabbed forward, and then kicked it violently.
Liu Er was scratched, his arm was hurting, he grinned in pain, and was accidentally kicked off the carriage by Ye Chuchu.
Ye Chuchu hurriedly jumped out of the carriage with the frightened red kite, and when he saw the situation in front of him, he forcibly endured the vomiting sensation in his stomach.
There were corpses of guards lying everywhere on the ground, Ye Chuchu was shocked in his heart, all the guards he brought were killed, and this group of bandits was not so easy to deal with. He is now unarmed, and he must not expose his identity and cause more trouble.
At this moment, one of the bandits stepped forward, and the others avoided it.
Ye Chuchu thought to himself, it seems that this should be their village master.
Liu Sheng's gaze looked at Ye Chuchu's body, and the revealing look made Ye Chuchu frown.
The red kite immediately stood in front of Ye Chuchu, and said loudly with trembling, "I warn you, don't touch our young lady." ”
Ye Chuchu was afraid of annoying them, so he cut the red kite with one knife and hurriedly pulled her behind him.
"The little girl is going to a neighboring country to save her relatives, and she is passing by your land, which disturbs the eldest brothers. I am willing to give all the money on my body, and I only ask that the eldest brother will spare our master and servant. Ye Chuchu pretended to be in tears.
The man who was scratched on the arm just now, seeing that the owner of the village did not speak, thought that he was shaken, and hurriedly interjected: "The owner of the village, you can't be confused by this little girl." ”
"Enough!" Liu Sheng shouted, and the people around him didn't dare to say anything for a moment.
Liu Sheng's iron pincer-like hand tightly imprisoned Ye Chuchu's chin, as if he was carefully studying something.
Ye Chuchu turned his head away in disgust, and then the back of his neck hurt, and before he passed out, he seemed to hear the red kite shouting something.
When Chu Zhiheng received the news that Ye Chuchu had been attacked at the border, his heart trembled violently.
A team of people was about to rush out of the camp after quickly counting them, but Lin Mo stopped him: "General, you must not be impulsive now, maybe Miss Ye will be safe and sound." ”
Only then did Chu Zhiheng calm down, and the terrifying aura on his body made people dare not approach.
Ye Chuchu woke up in a daze, and found that his hands were tied behind his back and couldn't move, and the red kite was also tied and lying motionless, Ye Chuchu moved to her side with great difficulty, checked it carefully, and found that he was only unconscious, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Chuchu observed the surrounding environment, it seemed that he was knocked unconscious by the bandits and taken away and locked up, Chu Zhiheng should have received the news of his disappearance, and now he should protect his safety and wait until he came to save him.
Ye Chuchu didn't know why he believed so much that Chu Zhiheng would come to save him, but when he thought of him, he felt an inexplicable sense of security in his heart.
After calming himself, Ye Chuchu noticed that there was another person in the room.
Ye Chuchu immediately became vigilant, and Shen Qingyue saw that Ye Chuchu had discovered him, and immediately shrank into the corner.
Ye Chuchu saw that she was wearing yellowed clothes, but the style was the most popular style in the capital, and he had a guess in his heart, so he took the initiative to speak: "You don't have to be afraid, my name is Ye Chuchu, and I was also plundered by bandits." ”
Only then did Shen Qingyue let down her guard and replied tremblingly: "My name is Shen Qingyue, I was originally going to the capital to recognize my relatives, but on the way, I let a woman take my carriage, but when I met a bandit, she actually pushed me off the carriage and ran away by herself." ”
Shen Qingyue couldn't help crying, and Ye Chuchu hurriedly comforted her, someone would come to save us.
The room was quiet again, only Shen Qingyue was sobbing on the side. Ye Chuchu looked at her, and felt that she was a little familiar, and somehow remembered Shen Zhiyan, and she was also surnamed Shen, so it shouldn't be such a coincidence.
The red kite wakes up and finds herself tied up, and panics. Ye Chuchu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, and the red kite calmed down, and said with a crying voice: "It's all my fault, I didn't protect Miss." Even if I risk my life, I won't let those bandits finger Miss get half a point. ”
"Silly girl, what you have to do now is to protect yourself and wait for General Chu to come and save us."
As Ye Chuchu was talking, the door was pushed open violently, and two thieves walked in from outside the door, grabbed Ye Chuchu's arm and dragged him out of the door.
The red kite jumped up from the ground and rushed up to bite the man's arm. The thief was in pain, raised his hand and slapped the red kite to the ground, and the red kite struggled on the ground a few times and fainted.
Ye Chuchu shouted: "Red kite, let go of me, red kite ......." Ye Chuchu was finally dragged out.
On the other side, Chu Zhiheng looked at the corpses all over the ground, his heart couldn't breathe as if he was pinched, for fear that one of the corpses inside was Ye Chuchu.
Lin Mo led people to search and reported: "General, Miss Ye's body was not found, most of them were the corpses of the guards. It seems that Miss Ye should have been captured by the bandits. ”
Chu Zhiheng's hanging heart was put down, and he immediately arranged for people to exterminate the bandits.
After Ye Chuchu was taken away by the bandits, he pushed him into a room, and then the door was closed.
Ye Chuchu got up from the ground and tried to push the door, but he didn't move at all, so he dispelled this thought.
The decorations of this room are completely different from the style of Liang Jinguo, but rather like the style of Tianqi.
Ye Chuchu rummaged around, but did not find any useful objects, turned around the screen, and was immediately stunned when he saw the paintings on the wall.
Quickly stepped forward and carefully identified it, Ye Chuchu looked at it several times in a row, and then dared to confirm that the woman in the painting was indeed his mother.
But why is the portrait of his mother hanging in this place, Ye Chuchu's heart is full of doubts.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Ye Chuchu quickly turned around and looked at Liu Sheng vigilantly.
Liu Sheng didn't care about her, and walked straight to the portrait, revealing a nostalgic look.
"You should recognize the person in this portrait as your mother."
Ye Chuchu didn't answer, and Liu Sheng didn't care at all, motioning for her to sit down and talk.
Ye Chuchu hesitated for a moment and finally sat down, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you know my mother?" What is your intention in arresting me up the mountain? ”
Liu Sheng didn't answer her question and asked, "Is your mother doing well?" ”
Ye Chuchu glanced at him suspiciously, "My mother died of illness when I was young. ”
Liu Sheng was a little incredulous, and the whole person cried bitterly, "Chaoyun, you don't even want to see me for the last time when you die." ”
Ye Chuchu watched him immersed in grief and remained silent.
I don't know how long it took for Liu Sheng to remember that there was another person in the room and took out something from his arms.
"It's your mother's, and now it's back to its rightful owner."
Ye Chuchu looked at the half of the jade pendant he handed over, his eyes widened, it was exactly the same as the half of the jade pendant that his mother left for him.
"Who the hell are you, and what does it have to do with my mother?"
Liu Sheng looked at her with complicated eyes, "I can't tell you yet, but you'll understand later." I'll send someone to take you out in a few days. ”
Ye Chuchu was just about to rush forward to ask for clarification, but the door was closed.
Ye Chuchu sat on the chair, but there were many thoughts in his heart, the owner of the village seemed to have a lot to do with his mother, could it be that his mother owed a romantic debt during her lifetime.
The more Ye Chuchu thought about it, the more complicated it became, and he couldn't help but worry about the red kite.
