Gu Wan was also too tired, so he simply sat on the snow to recover his blood.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The sky was a little gray, it should be almost dawn, Gu Wan patted him lightly on the shoulder, "We should go." ”

"Okay."

He thanked him dumbly, wiped his face with his sleeves, and slowly stood up with his scabbard.

After crying, wiping away tears, the two supported each other, and braved the wind and snow to move forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The sky slowly brightened, and Gu Wan did not go to a crowded place, and went all the way to Yumai Sheshan in Dongling along the sheep intestine trail, and walked along the foothills for a long time, and finally found a suitable place to stay.

It was a small firewood hut of hunters, about a mile from the village field under the mountain, but in the windy and snowy weather, no one ran to the door with knee-high snow.

The fence gate was half submerged by heavy snow, and no one had pushed it open for a long time, Gu Wan observed it for a moment, and laboriously opened it.

The yard is not big, there is no shortage of firewood and grass in the mountains, there is a large pile of black dead firewood in the east, a small wooden house in the middle, but the thin firewood has been blown open by the wind, the wind blows the snow into it, and the firewood door keeps "babbling" and dangling.

Gu Wan pushed the door open and saw an old hunter with gray hair lying on the old futon on the yellow mud kang, who had been dead for a long time, too old to carry it, and froze to death.

Gu Wan folded his hands and confessed his guilt, and carefully dragged this very light short old man down and put him on the clean snowdrift outside.

The two fell asleep on the kang and fell asleep almost immediately.

This sleep was dark, and when Xie Ci woke up again, it was already the early morning of the next day.

The snow was very bright, the sky was about to dawn, the door of the house had been covered with a thick stick, and the firewood was piled up in the fire kang hole and the fire pit in the center of the house, and the erection was quite skillful, but the fire had not yet been lit.

Gu Wan woke up earlier than him, and was squatting in front of the small kitchen stove on the east side of the wooden house, "da-da-da" and knocking on the flint.

She knocked maybe three to five hundred times, but she couldn't knock out Mars.

Xie Ci got up, got down from the kang, entered the small kitchen, took the flint in her hand, "da-da" a few times, stretched her hand forward, and a few sparks fell on the wheat stalks and small dead branches spread at the bottom of the stove, and the fire ignited.

There was a small iron pot on the stove, with a pot full of fresh snow piled on it, and a frozen gray-haired hare next to it, which Gu Wan found when he went out to get firewood this morning, caught by a trap outside the fence wall.

Xie Ci slowly stood up, closed the lid of the wooden pot, picked up the hare and squatted down again, pulled out the long knife at his side, and peeled it.

"Why are you up? Go and rest! ”

Gu Wan woke up in the middle of the night last night and saw the injuries on his body, fortunately, the cracked wounds were the deepest and several joints, and when she came out, she also brought the other golden medicine hidden in the firewood and straw stack, and Xie Ci also brought the wax pills, applied medicine to him, and took the pills.

After Xie Ci relieved himself, he felt better, and he shook his head: "I'm much better, it's okay." ”

It can't be that Gu Wan has been busy before and after, he is lying down.

Gu Wan thought about it for a while, and then didn't refuse again, the main thing was that she was also out of strength, the original owner had pampered her boudoir for too long, she was so brave and vigorous, and after taking a breath, her hands and feet were so sore that she couldn't do it.

The stove fire was already burning, Gu Wan moved back to the fire pit and the kang in the house, and the house quickly warmed up.

The two of them disposed of the hare together, put it into the pot of boiling water that scooped the remaining half, the pot was boiling, Xie Ci looked at the east window in a daze, the snow was vast, he muttered: "I don't know what happened to my mother-in-law and sister-in-law and nephew?" ”

This is a really worrying topic.

Gu Wan lit the fire and went out to the shelter behind the house, where a firewood stack had been piled up behind the house, and it was placed on top of the old hunter.

Gu Wan squatted on the ground and cremated him, and dug a pit in the ground where the fire had burned, and let him settle in the ground.

She said goodbye, this is for you to settle, let's borrow the things in the house, don't mind, straighten up when she was done, she looked back, just in time to see him looking to the east in a daze.

That's the direction of the Iron Threshold Temple.

The former radiant arrogance had all faded from between his eyebrows, and those star-like eyes were full of gloom.

After a great change, people have grown up overnight.

Gu Wan scratched her head and couldn't help sighing, she was really evil, she stood in place for a long time, until a cold wind blew, she rubbed her arms and jumped back.

Xie regained his senses and immediately got up and opened the door.

Gu Wan arranged for him to watch the fire, but he didn't agree to let him come out together, he was injured, in case of the cold, it would be terrible, and now in this situation, they can't even find a doctor.

I knew the importance of the resignation, so I didn't insist.

As soon as the door opened, the whistling north wind swept in the broken snow, and the flames of the fire pit shook violently, and the red light reflected half of his pale face, and his lips were not a little bloody, delicate and fragile.

Gu Wan pulled him back to the fire pit and sat down, the fire kang made her let out a long breath, she rubbed her hands, and thought for a while: "Don't worry, even if it is the Yi three clans, there is no reason to cut off all the women and children." ”

The laws of this dynasty have been used all the way from the founding of the country to the present, except for a few cases of rebellion, the emperor personally decreed that the death of the whole family was given, but no one even sat down, and did not kill women and children and children under the age of 16.

She didn't believe it! No matter how big the crime of escaping from prison is, it can't be bigger than the "Lantian Collaboration with the Enemy Case", right?

The experience during this period of time made Gu Wan have no good impression of this court, but it was not so desperate, right?

As long as it's not a sentence pronounced or killed in prison, they can figure it out!

Xie Ci's heart was heavy, "I hope so." ”

……

He was scared that after struggling out of death, he feared that his escape from prison would implicate the last relatives who were left, making their situation worse and turning them from exile to death.

He knew how big the storm of the Xie case was in the court, Xie Xinxin was upright, and how many people fell into the well and wanted to kill the Xie family.

Historically, the wall has fallen and everyone has pushed it.

After the two of them dealt with the matter of settling down, they simply ate, and then returned to the kang to seize the time to recuperate and recover.

But the excuses went over and over, but I just couldn't sleep.

The bruised body was in great pain, especially the soldering iron burns and newly cracked wounds, but no amount of pain was as good as the anxiety in his heart, and he couldn't sleep.

Gu Wan knew that the two of them were using the same bedding due to the conditions, and he tried not to disturb her as much as possible, but she felt very light in the unfamiliar environment, and she knew that he was not asleep when she was half-awake and half-asleep until she heard the sound of beeping and peeling firewood and the sound of his breathing.

But Gu Wan couldn't do anything.

In the middle of the night, Xie Ci had a fever again, and Gu Wan got up and wrung a cloth towel for him and put it on his forehead.

Is the fever very high, but he is talking nonsense, struggling with two lines of tears sliding down the corners of his eyes, Gu Wan heard "Dad", "Auntie", "Sister Ying (Second Sister-in-law Xie)", as well as the names of his brother and several nephews and nieces.

After dawn, he finally had a fever, Gu Wan put the boiled chestnut rice porridge in a wooden bowl and brought it out to him, but saw that Xie Ci had already gotten up, he was dressed neatly, the standard long knife scabbard was thrown away, and the handle of the knife was wrapped around the cloth strips, matched around the waist, and the dagger was tied to the side of the calf.

"I'll go to the outer fang to inquire about the news."

His lips were pale, and he took down the old bamboo hat hanging on the wall and fastened it to his head to cover his face.

A few days is enough for the dust to settle whether the implication is settled or not. There will definitely be one in two days, but Xie Ci really can't sit and wait in peace, he is desperate to find out the news.

"Okay."

Gu Wan could understand him, but she was worried, "But, we don't have a household registration and a road guide!" ”

People who go out must carry the yellow paper of household registration and road guidance with them, as for the locals, according to the usual limelight, they will definitely be interrogated during this time, so run out, if you are not lucky to bump into it, it will be bad.

I've already thought about this question, "It's okay, I'll get a fake first." ”

Is it a false testimony?

Well, it's not impossible.

Gu Wan was stunned for a moment and thought for a while, "Okay, then I'll go with you!" ”

He was injured, and it was fine to walk two steps in this cabin, but once he went out, it was not like this.

In case you can't bear it halfway, there is someone to help you out.

Gu Wan definitely couldn't let him go alone.

……

The two of them hurriedly drank porridge, extinguished the fire in the fire pond and kang stove, cleaned up, took off the prison clothes, and put on the old clothes of the hunters, which were not long enough to tear another one and tie it inside, and the clothes were old and worn, and the poor people were mostly sewing and mending tatters, which did not look conspicuous.

After Gu Wan put on the old clothes, she put her fine cotton shirt on the outside, which she specially picked, and there was a simple embroidery on the neckline, so she could use it as an outerwear when she put it on and tidy it up.

The two of them walked around the outside of the village, walked about three or four miles from the small road to the main road, today the sun is out, the golden winter sun shines on the snow, a little dazzling, but there are also more people coming and going.

After the townships and villages went to the market, carrying the burden and driving the donkey, after merging into the official road, the people, cars, and merchants were more crowded, Gu Wan deliberately listened to it, and did not hear any discussion about the Tieji Temple and the female dependents of the Xie family, but the escape from the prison became the hottest news, and several stalls were talking loudly, expressing various opinions and speculations.

Gu Wan secretly glanced at the thank you on the other side, the two gave a few big money, and got on the ox cart from the township to Fengyang County, full of people, the two deliberately sat at the two ends separately, Gu Wan looked over, and saw a small half of his face under the bamboo hat, his eyelids drooped, and his jaw was pale in the snow.

The ox cart went on and on, during which there were encounters with card setting and random inspection, and finally stopped at the market about a mile away from Fengyang County.

This is what the two have discussed, Gyeonggi 13 counties, and the nearest to them is now Fengyang County. The land of Gyeonggi is also at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and whenever a major event is announced to the world or widely known in Gyeonggi, the thirteen counties under the jurisdiction of the capital will post yellow paper notices to the public, deterring, pacifying, and other functions.

In addition, in addition to the county government and the city gate, the county will copy and post it by itself at the gate of the market and the market where there are many people.

Gu Wan and Xie Ci definitely couldn't go to Kyoto, so the two discussed it and decided to try to take advantage of this loophole.

Before they got out of the car, the two saw a large group of people gathered in front of the open space on the left outside the market entrance, and the scholars were spitting and telling the crowd the contents of the notice.

Sure enough, there is a sign copying the poster.

On top of it, there is also a very new piece of yellow paper, which has obviously been pasted on for the past two days.

Xie Ci's body immediately tensed.

He stood for a moment, step by step towards the billboard.

He walked faster and faster, and the two of them squeezed into the crowd and pushed as fast as they could.

They finally got to a place where they could see the yellow paper.

At the first glance of the thanks, I saw clearly that this was an announcement involving his escape from the prison outside the Tieji Temple, and the government's request for the military and civilians under its jurisdiction to cooperate in reporting, harboring the same crime and offering a reward.

He glanced at the ten lines and saw the end, but his gaze was fixed.

The expression of thanksgiving finally changed a little, he was stunned, and then his heart fluctuated, and he closed his eyes!

Gu Wan was implicitly aware of it, and also looked at it, only to see that the end of the bulletin yellow paper was the word "this", and the end seemed to be an excerpt of the person's pen was too urgent, and the last stroke was winded, winding into a branch-like arc, and the hook tail was slender and downward.

- This is a code of thanks and a few small people once agreed.

The pride of the sky, with the same temperament, the young man is wanton, and the horses are whistling by, they play crickets, watch operas and listen to the pipa, and clap their hands when they rise; They see that they are not parallel to chivalry, and big and small disasters continue every day, chickens and dogs jump.

Once the Xie family was killed, how many in-laws were friendly or silent or avoided or even fell into the ground, and the young man Xie Ci blocked the front of the house with a gun, and was full of indignation.

Today, Zhang Ningyuan, his former hairdresser, took a risk and used a code that they had agreed upon when they did bad things from adults in the past, and implicitly passed on a message to him.

- Don't worry, he has already said that he will move his uncle, and the court will do his best to mediate for the Xie family.

Zhang Ningyuan, the second nephew of Zhang Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

In order to thank him, he went on a hunger strike for four days, and once he was dying, retreating again and again, and finally only begging his family to come forward to protect the Xie family's daughters in prison from being implicated.

Zhang's mother couldn't bear it, so she came forward to pray in person, and finally Zhang Shangshu agreed.

Xie Ci was whispering to Gu Wan, a sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and the yacha stopped in front of the bulletin board with a long piece of yellow paper.

Two officials separated the crowd with scabbards and posted yellow paper.

It's the follow-up to the prison break!

——Under the full mediation of Zhang Shangshu, the Xie family's relatives upheld the original verdict and flowed north for 3,000 miles to Tieling to fill the army.

At this moment, the words of thanks were filled with tears.

He tilted his head, and with great effort, it took great effort to suppress the heat in his eyes, and he wept with joy.

Fortunately, fortunately, the world has not made people desperate like this.

Gu Wanchang exhaled a hot breath, she was really nervous just now.

She raised her eyes to look at Xie Ci, and Xie Ci also looked at her, and she said, "Then I will have a chance to thank him again." ”

After all, there is still a worthwhile, and it is not in vain, although they may not be able to meet again in the future, but they also live up to each other's former friendship.

That's great!

The Xie family was not implicated.

There are so many Xie family members, and it is not applicable to those who die of illness.

When they get out of prison, they can try to save people.

The two squeezed out of the crowd, and Gu Wan patted him on the shoulder: "Now, you can recuperate with peace of mind?" ”

Her tone grew brisk, and a smile darkened.

Xie Ci finally showed his first smile in a while, and he nodded vigorously: "Hmm! ”

The winter sun shone on the remnants of snow and ruts, and the white snow reflected a golden yellow, dyeing a layer of warm light on Gu Guan's side face, her face was gray and black, but her thin teeth were as white as snow.

Xie Ci was very excited and couldn't help but hug her hard.

Thank you is not appropriate, he doesn't want to say any more, but he is really grateful to her.

He was too hard, and Gu Wan was in pain, and she was caught off guard, so she quickly shrunk her chest,...... Fortunately, it is not big, and the clothes are thick.

But she was really happy, and she couldn't help but hug him hard.

She's under a lot of pressure.

She had planned to help the original owner repay her family.

Although the layers were unexpectedly pushed, if the Xie family died, she thought she would feel guilty for a long, long time.

Fortunately!

Thanks to Zhang Ningyuan.

Thanks for the thanks, too!

Anyway, thank you to everyone who has worked this.

Gu Wan let go and patted him, there were more and more people, and she whispered, "Let's go." ”
