20 Grace Cloud Shift (〇9)
Just as the pair of eyes turned around, they flickered twice, and the reflection of Miaozhen's facial features was reflected in them, and they also slid past the green bricks and tiles, but her shadow was still.
But the heart "thumped" twice.
It's so close that it's hard to tell whose heartbeat it is. Liang Gong turned his head back, and his voice became a little solemn, "You sit down." ”
"Oh." Miao Zhen was stunned and pulled Hua Xin in, and only reacted when he was behind, why did he obey him?
Hua Xin covered her mouth and snickered, and whispered: "Girl, don't be foolish, people are not stupid, will you not know that you are deliberately finding fault?" ”
A word woke up the dreamer, Miaozhen twisted the tassel of the fan on the tip of his fingers, and his heart was a little stuffy. It seems that he has changed his temperament, making troubles and picking thorns, and he has to be unforgiving.
She found a reason in her heart, hanged the spike to death, and leaned into Hua Xin's ear, "He is naturally not stupid, I said earlier, he has a bad stomach." ”
As if there was a good reason for this, she unconsciously sulked again.
When the Zhou family was close to dinner, the Zhou family and her children were waiting at the door early, because they were close to each other, and they were reunited after a long absence, so they did not dare to slack off.
The lady of the Zhou family held Zeng and Hu's two wives all the way to greet each other, and warmly stayed with guests, "I prepared the drama wine early in the morning, and ordered to clean a few upper rooms to come out, the sister-in-law of the Hu family is easy to go to Jiaxing, don't leave tonight, just rest here, let's catch up with the old days, and it's not too late to go tomorrow." ”
Mrs. Hu was naturally willing, and Mrs. Zeng didn't care, not to mention that she had to brave the night when she went back, so everyone just sat down with peace of mind.
The drama and wine until dusk is a lively place, but the two young ladies of the Zhou family are uncomfortable under the noses of the elders, and privately pry Miaozhen Luying to the street, "You came at the right time, our county lord was happy two days ago, and he was specially ordered to light a few days of everlasting lanterns on the street, which is very lively, let's go out for a walk?" ”
It's so lively, so it's right away. Lu Ying was quiet, and when she thought about leaving the pavilion, she couldn't always accompany her parents, so she never left Mrs. Zeng for a moment. excused: "Go ahead, I'm very tired all the way, I'm too lazy to go shopping." ”
So the three young ladies had to ask for orders to go out, and it was rare for the wives to obstruct it, so they only told the girl to follow closely and come back early.
That night, the street was really lively, Miao Zhen looked at the curtain on the carriage street, and saw the lights on the street in front of him from a distance. Carp lantern, rabbit lantern, octagonal palace lantern, four-corner beauty lantern, dragon lantern, phoenix lantern...... There are thousands of kinds, floating above the sea of people.
It seems that there are thousands of clues, and they are all gradually gaining a clear cause tonight.
A few people rode to the main street entrance and were about to come down to shop. Miaozhen's car was at the end, and Hua Xin got down first, waiting to help her, not wanting the horse in front of her to neigh twice, raised his hooves, and lifted the front of the car up and down. caused everyone to look back, but they were caught off guard, and the horse ran straight ahead for some reason.
The cries in the crowd were like a hurricane, a road was split in the middle of the street, and everyone in the Zhou family was huddled together, and Hua Xin was even more frightened. had to react with a good compliment, leaving everyone behind and chasing forward.
The horse went berserk, and one by one called and one dragged the cart on a rampage. Miao Zhen was frightened in the car, her face was like earth, and she stumbled around like a ball. It's easy to hold on to the car window and look out in fright, and see Lianggong chasing after him from afar.
She cried and shouted and shook her hand outward, "Liang Gong! Good congratulations! Help me, this horse is crazy and can't stop! ”
Where did Liang Gong have time to answer her, he just ran with all his strength, and lost half of his life. The road ahead of him was getting darker, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat, but he didn't dare to slow down a little.
I don't know how long I chased it, but I finally ran to the side of the broken car and looked up at Miaozhen. She grabbed a hoarding with one hand, frightened and discolored, tears were thrown on his face, and one hand grabbed at him, but it was in vain, and she couldn't catch it.
"Quick, I'm going to die!"
Lianggong gritted his teeth and ran forward a few steps, and a harrier turned on the front of the car, and found the reins in the chaos, causing a person to turn on his back, which can be regarded as stopping.
The roof of the carriage was lifted, and only two pieces of coaming remained, and Miaozhen's bones were also scattered, and it hurt all over. She sat up, and when she looked back, she was gone, and the brightly lit street market was gone, except for darkness and a half-clouded moon in the sky.
The old cry has not dried, and the new tears have come down, she can't care about the defense of men and women, and she can't care about the pain around her, she can't take care of anything, only she and Lianggong are left in this dark world.
She crawled close to Lianggong's back, and before she could put it on, she felt his scorching body temperature, warm and safe in the cool night breeze. She sat with her legs folded, leaning towards him, as if lying on his back, but a little in the air, "Where have we run?" Why is it blind in the dark, and there is no movement at all? ”
Liang Gong gasped and glanced around, "It's about a walk to the wilderness." ”
Miao Zhen shrank for a moment, grabbed a piece of the back of his neck, and looked vigilantly, "Wilderness? Will there be a beast? Oh my God, there is not even a light in this dark realm, how can we go back? ”
Just listening to the steep "click", Miaozhen's body was crooked, and one wheel fell apart. Liang Gong hurriedly picked her up and walked around the car, "There is no hope at all, just wait here, someone from the Zhou family will naturally find her." ”
Although Miao Zhen was still anxious in her heart, she stopped crying, and her eyes chased him urgently, "Can they find us?" I don't even know where this is. ”
"There are traces along the way, and you can find them naturally."
Miao Zhen was silent, and then she realized that her right knee hurt a lot, she bent down and rubbed her knee twice, "I broke my knee." ”
"Why didn't you say it sooner?" Liang Gong hurriedly walked around the car and found a stone by the moonlight. If you want to hold her and sit on her, she doesn't sit, as if she is angry.
Miao Zhen felt that his words seemed to be a little impatient, and a lot of grievances welled up in his heart, tears rippled, and he was stalemate.
After running for her life all night, Lianggong was tired, and she was too lazy to serve her delicate young lady's temper. But she was stabbed in the heart by her bright tears, and she couldn't say anything.
Thinking that she thought the stone was dirty and hard, he spread his hand, untied the blue shirt on the outside, folded it a few times, and put it on the stone. He had a white midcoat in it, made in an unknown year, with cuffs as short as the wrists, and two patches on the hem of the undershirt, which made people embarrassed and depressed. Miao Zhen's anger was exhausted, and he sat down on the stone and watched him walk towards the tired horse that had fallen to the ground.
"Are you looking at why it's going crazy?"
Lianggong didn't have time to pay attention, and carefully touched the horse's body, but didn't touch anything. But when he saw the horse trembling with one of its hind hooves, he touched the horse's hooves again, and found a copper nail six or seven inches long pierced in the horse's hoof.
Presumably, the horse was pierced into this nail, but at first it was not pierced hard, but it did not feel anything, and slowly walked from Zhou's house to the main street, and then stepped on it to death, which caused it to go crazy.
This horse has been locked up in their stable since it arrived at Zhou's house, where did the copper nail come from? Liang Gong twisted his eyebrows and thought about it carefully, presumably it was pulled out of the car in the evening, and in the gap between the little guys going in and out of the saddle and pulling the car, someone stole such a nail into it.
"Did you look for the reason?"
Shouting Liang Gong came back to his senses, he plunged the nail into the grass casually, clapped his hands and walked towards Miao Zhen, "Oh, it is about where to step on a wooden thorn, and it hurts so much that it goes crazy." As he spoke, he looked around, his voice a little solemn in the darkness, "You can't wait here, I'm afraid there will be wild beasts." ”
Miao Zhen, who was afraid of the beast, was also frightened by his deep voice, and he helped him up, and without saying a word, he fell on his back, which was bowed in front of him.
He walked in the darkness with him on his back, and she didn't know where she went, and he placed her on a rock. Looking around, there is a spacious place in a trance on the left and right, the wind is tighter, and some tree shadows are shaking in front and back, as if some ghosts are haunting.
She hugged her arms tightly, and heard some squirming movements in the distance, so she pulled Lianggong's cuffs suspiciously, "Listen, there seems to be a sound, is it a wolf?" ”
Liang Gong's ears had already stood up in alarm, and he looked back at her and made a silent gesture, "You sit here, I'll take a look." The cuffs were tightly pinched by Miaozhen, and he had to squat down, "I'm not going far, I'm just ahead." ”
She still held on, and he had to pull the corners of his mouth to pretend to provoke her, "How dare you be like this?" ”
Sure enough, it worked, and Miao Zhen let go of his hand with hatred. He walked into the shallow shadow of the trees in front of him, and the cat peered out into the dark realm where the horse had just been abandoned. Sure enough, there were two vague figures there, sneaking around the carriage and horses looking for something.
Looking at the battle, it was not bad as he expected, and the horse was deliberately stumbling on people. I was afraid that there would be many people on the street, and there would be people from the Zhou family following, so it would be inconvenient for them to do so, so they did this. You don't have to think about it, it's obviously for Miaozhen.
Fortunately, he was alert and abandoned the carriage and hid here. The two men searched to no avail, and went elsewhere.
When he walked back again, he saw Miao Zhen hugging himself tightly on the edge of the stone, like a frightened rabbit.
He quietly tried to hold her, but he couldn't move. She was clinging to the stone, her eyes glancing around, and there was some fear in the grass and trees.
