8 Chapter 8
The rain had stopped, the cumulus clouds had not dispersed, and a lone star hung in the northeast corner of the dark night.
Gu Wan tilted his head and tried to recall, it seems that there were no prisoners in his previous life, right? Could it be that the other party may have some obstacle to giving up halfway? But she is not too unusual, after all, some things are no longer the same, for example, the one who supervised the team in the previous life was not Feng Linde, and it is too normal to have a butterfly effect.
The two looked at each other for a while, and there were many of them, a dozen or twenty of them, and when all the cattle had been driven out of the shed, a man and a woman came out on the other side of the wall, dark and shabby with a hard face, but very young, on horseback, and a guard on the left and right.
After the other party came out, he glanced left and right, Gu Wan was thanked and pressed on the back, and the two immediately bowed down.
The man's five senses are very keen, and the first direction he stares at is this side, but Xie Ci is not a vegetarian, he picked up a cricket and threw it to the left, the cricket hissed and bounced away at the tip of the grass, the man's eyes swept over the cricket, and then moved away.
This group of people did not stay for long, and the large army of livestock left quickly, and thanked Gu Wan and left, and the dull sound of horses' hooves and cow's hooves rushed to the crossing to rush out of the field, Xie Ci immediately turned sideways and bowed low, Gu Wan jumped on his back very skillfully, the wet grass shook, and Xie Ci left with Gu Wan on his back.
Gu Guan's blood blisters on the soles of her feet this time are quite large, you have to take care of them as soon as possible, if you don't leave, you won't leave, otherwise you are afraid of affecting the follow-up, and it is not the first time that she will be resigned, and both of them are quite familiar and perfect.
Entering the inner perimeter from the outskirts of the town, Xie Ci jumped over and silently entered the inn, pushed open the door of a small half-used guest room in the backyard, and closed the door.
In order to facilitate tonight's action, the two of them had the luxury of opening a room with a separate portal in the backyard of the inn.
Gu Wan yawned and lit the oil lamp, took off his shoes, thought about it, carefully took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and picked a little bit of Jinchuang medicine and put it on, this medicine is really good, it is estimated that he will be able to go underwater tomorrow morning.
In the small guest room, there is a small earthen kang, one person sleeps on the other, in the dim light, Xie Ci saw Gu Wan holding her feet and concentrating on scrubbing and smearing, her face is also young and young, her hair is messy and dusty.
He said, "Are you afraid? ”
He felt guilty, if Gu Wan was afraid, then he would go by himself.
Afraid?
Not really.
Gu Wan is bold and not afraid of taking risks, you must know that it is not so easy to earn a big house in a first-tier city for two years, she is just afraid of trouble and does not like to take risks, and it is not counted when necessary.
She said: "There is a little, but we have to rescue the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law and Ming'er." ”
She lay on the bunk with a bone, and put her coat on her stomach with a shaking, "Go to sleep, Ming'er has to get up early!" Maybe I'll find an opportunity tomorrow. ”
The physical exertion was high enough that she almost fell asleep on the pillow, and the words that followed became muffled, and only a small breathing sound could be heard.
The half-stuffed medicine bottle into the small bag rolled over the pillow.
Xie Ci sat for a moment, looked at her sleepy face for a long time, and lightly picked up the medicine bottle and put it into the small baggage along with other miscellaneous items.
The oil lamp was blown out with a "poof" of thanks, and the small room fell into darkness, and he also lay down.
After his breathing became longer, Gu Wan opened his eyes.
She looked up at the glimmering curtain, blinked her eyelids, and looked sideways at the other end of the short kang to thank him, who was lying on the side of the kang with his hand on the hilt of the long knife beside him.
In the dark shadows, only the faint outline of his high nose and deep eyebrows could be faintly seen.
During this time, he woke up like a frightened bird, his immature age was changed, he carried everything alone, he couldn't sleep and woke up at the slightest movement.
But he would not be vigilant of Gu Wan's movements, as if she had opened her eyes and raised her head to stare at him for so long at this moment, and he was still asleep.
Gu Wan exhaled and looked away, she had been walking all the way for so long, she couldn't bear it anymore, and it was finally time to rescue the Xie family! She was almost so excited that she burst into tears.
When the Xie family was rescued, she had completed the goal she had set at the beginning, and she lived up to the trust of the young man at the moment.
After the Xie family is settled, the money she originally wanted to make money and open a tavern or something can almost be put on the agenda.
I just don't know, whether the money here is easy to make in the previous life!
Anyway, hope everything goes well tomorrow!
……
Gu Wan rolled over and fell asleep.
When the sky was bright, she was woken up by the noise and running and scolding outside the inn, almost as soon as there was movement, she jumped up with thanks, Gu Wan quickly rubbed her eyes and got up, the two pushed open a little outside the window, and saw people running outside, scolding.
Soon the whole township knew that last night, four inns had been stolen from the livestock, and the Malaysian merchant had taken over the entire house, and then all the barns were stolen!
Gu Wan was dumbfounded: "No, four!" ”
That's the other party did three, what a big battle.
However, for them, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and the goals of both sides are the same, and it is obvious that the other side is in a bigger position, which is a good thing for them.
The whole township was boiling, and soon the county seat also came, and soon found the footprints of cattle and horses and chased them in another direction.
Gu Wan suddenly realized that the other party was dividing the livestock into two or three, and drove them in the other direction, immediately leading away the boiling water here.
It's a good plan.
More people is better.
There's nothing going on in the township, that's good! Gu Wan snapped his fingers, the two of them inquired and left immediately, Gu Wan rode a horse to drive the livestock, Xie Ci immediately caught up with the large army of vain and began to look for an opportunity.
……
Early in the morning, the exiles dressed in old gray cloth clothes hurriedly sorted out and freshened up, pushed carts and carried burdens, carried people on their backs, wiped away their tears, and moved forward step by step.
There are many people who died of illness along the way, and everyone has blood blisters on the soles of their feet, and those who have no help can only be sick and wait for death.
The dark clouds are circling, the weather is stuffy and hot, and the official road that has rained heavily is all muddy, Xie Er's sister-in-law usually carries her niece by herself, but today she rarely transferred her three-year-old niece to the back of her ten-year-old eldest daughter, holding her concubine with one hand, and letting her five-year-old son lead her wrist with the other, and she tightly grasped the dead branch that was used as a cane.
Last night, she quietly sharpened the end of her cane on the ground overnight.
After receiving the letter of thanks, the anxiety and worry were not to be mentioned, and the Xie family was anxiously waiting at the moment.
Xie Er's sister-in-law will be the most knowledgeable tiger girl, she whispered that there are hills ahead, most likely; If they didn't move, then they must wait for the noon pot to cook, and they should not sit on the other side of the river, but try to sit on the edge as much as possible.
……
In the middle of the morning, it rained heavily, and the sun was outcropping, and the temperature rose in a flash due to the blazing sun.
It was damp and stuffy, and the ground was muddy and soaked, and I couldn't even find a dry place to bury the pot and make rice.
The Liberation Army and the Reconciliation Poor were full of complaints, shouting and swearing, and even those who were whipped, and the exiled prisoners were driven around.
The whole team is annoying and tired, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime good time, Xie Ci gestured to Gu Guan, Gu Wan not far away, quietly turned his head, about half an hour, she came back, the livestock was already in place, she herself had already used the newly bought sleeve long cloth to tie the sleeves and trousers tightly, and the waist was equipped with a metal buckle specially placed on the dagger long sword, and the dagger long sword was firmly stuck on the body, and another set of Xie Ci was handed to him.
Xie Ci quickly put it on, the end of the long cloth was wrapped around the palm of his hand to form a palm, he took off the hat, and Gu Wan easily clasped it on the top of his head.
The first thing they want to solve is the sentinels.
The two of them slowed down and moved quickly, Xie Ci had already touched the sentry post clearly, a total of four, one in the south, one in the south, one in the northwest, and one in the south, and the two they had to deal with were the west and the south.
One of them lures, the other quickly draws his sword, and quickly solves the first. This person molested Xie San's sister-in-law and Xie Ci's eldest niece Xie Rou, Xie Ci's knife was fast and ruthless, the white blade entered the flesh, and blood splattered.
He gasped, took Gu Wan's hand and swept across the grass and went straight to the south, but just as the two of them were about to deal with the second sentry, a silver glimmer flashed not far away, Xie Qi squinted, and immediately pulled Gu Wan to stop.
With a sharp roar of a sharp blade cutting through the air, a sparkle of fine iron shot out, striking the sentry's eyebrows, who stared wide-eyed and fell to the ground.
The distance between the two sides was very close, and the next moment the other party also noticed that there was someone here, and frowned, and so did the other party, the two sides looked at each other for a moment through the long wet thatch, and slowly retreated and left.
"It should be yesterday's gang."
Xie Ci took Gu Wan to connect the dots, the wind was whistling, and he went down to the bottom of the hillside in an instant, Gu Wan was really envious, the internal kung fu was too bad, but unfortunately modern times have long been in decline.
But now that she didn't bother to discuss it, she whispered, "It looks like they're going to do it too." ”
Both sides are looking for the same time.
"More people are better."
More chaos, more people, this is a good thing for them.
It doesn't matter, it was already discussed last night anyway, and in case they happen to meet head-on, they just need to borrow from each other.
Gu Wan said: "I just don't know who they are saving, and they can't sit close to our family." ”
If you sit close, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
Xie Ci and Gu Wan have already thought about everything, and the plan can be said to be very detailed, and the other party's group is indeed here to rob prisoners and save people.
But who knows, the final development was still unexpected by the two.
The group of people who want to save it turned out to be the Xie family!
……
Scolding and scolding, the rice was finally cooked, and bursts of green smoke came out of the wet wood, which made people cry.
Finally, the water was boiled and the rice was ready, and the exiled prisoners were given two cakes, which were their rations for the day, and they found a place to squat and eat slowly, they did not dare to sit, even if there were not many dry places on their bodies, but a little less wet, they had a better chance of survival.
Xie Jun and Xie spread out a large piece of oilcloth, sat down opposite each other, untied the knife directly and threw it on the ground, ripped open the neckline, held the wooden basin and munched on the steamed buns with wooden chopsticks.
"On this day, no matter how bad our food is, we can't put it down, there are no towns and towns in Xingzhou from here, so we have to go for two days!"
"Phew, don't say it, damn it! ……”
It was at this time, all of a sudden, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves!
Because the Fenshui was full of turbidity and rolling waves, it was the horse's hooves that were quietly driven to a very close point and were not discovered, the head horse was whipped fiercely, and the horse neighed in the sky, and the horses rushed down from the slope, and suddenly knocked over the liberation army on the edge and rushed into the crowd!
On the other side, the next shot also rushed out of the herd of horses, and even the herd!
The other party is not far from him, and everyone is vaguely aware of the movement next to the thatch, but Xie Ci's vigilance is too strong, as soon as the other party comes to detect the movement, he immediately pulls out the long knife, and the other party retreats.
Everyone does not interfere with the river water, and everyone does his own thing.
The horses galloped and the hooves of the cows rattled, the noise of the camp suddenly rose, everyone panicked and avoided, at this time, Xie Ci and Gu Wan didn't care about anything else, they beat the horses hard and rushed out, and went straight to the Xie family!
Second sister-in-law Xie and the others stood up and rushed over here.
It's a risky move, but it's the perfect time to meet! Thank you Gu Wan for patting her horse again and again, but at this time, they were very surprised to find that the other group of people also went straight to the Xie family.
Inside and out, Xie Ci and Xie Er's sister-in-law and others were not trivial, because they never expected it, and the bamboo tube was also limited, so they didn't write this, Xie Er's sister-in-law and they were even stunned for a moment, and they couldn't tell whether this was their own person or not.
"This, this is your relative?!"
"I don't know!"
Xie Ci saw that the other party stepped on the stirrup and jumped up, and went to fish for the nearest Xie San's sister-in-law and Xie Rou one by one, his eyes were cracked, and he threw the horsewhip a little, and pounced on it like lightning!
Both sides were very stunned, and they had already exchanged a few moves in just one breath, Xie Ci was furious and killed again and again, forcing the other party back in an instant, and Xie Er's sister-in-law had already lifted her cane and rushed up.
The two sides, not the three sides, the Xie Jun immediately reacted, the adjutant was Feng Linde's henchman, and immediately raised his knife in spite of the danger and gave the order, and the Xie Jun quickly drew his sword and rushed up.
The three parties scuffled together, blood, horses' hooves, long neighing, and Gu Guan's eyes were sharp, and she found a long-haired woman behind the grass growing on the side of the hillside more than ten zhang away.
The opposing man was dressed in a beard and hair, riding on a horse, protected by a guard.
This is the young woman who is surrounded by guards, a man and a woman.
As soon as Gu Wan found her, the horsewhip was whipped fiercely, she was riding the first horse, her four hooves were very powerful, and a long neighing rushed out.
The three parties fought fiercely together, and there was chaos in an instant, and Gu Wan solved the scuffle between the guards and the woman in purple, she used her grappling hand to cut and copy, pressed the person to the ground, and the two faced each other.
The other party is a fair-skinned and charming woman who can be called the best in the world, with a flexible waist and a slender, incredibly beautiful.
Gu Wan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw her face clearly, of course, this surprise did not affect her hands and movements.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that the other party was even more surprised!
The moment the woman in purple finally saw her little face covered by her unkempt hair, she was so frightened that she forgot about struggling to fight back.
She said, "How can you be alive?!" ”
Gu Guan: "??? ”
“…… There's something wrong with you! ”
Gu Wan was inexplicable, what's the matter with this person, why can't I live?
Neurotic!
