Chapter Ninety-Three: Just Say What If......
Chen Kang spent a lot of effort, finally rolled his body, moved his shoulders away from Chu Peiyao, and said:
"It's not that group of bastards just now, what is it called'Fulong Swordsman Huo Weiting', it's shameless...... The thing that launched the hidden weapon in the hands of those people was very powerful, and I was hit by one and now my whole body is numb. ”
"Then what should I do now? You have been arrested, and there is no one to report to Brother Yin...... I can't tell you to call me out, now it's okay!" Chu Peiyao felt aggrieved, and almost cried as she spoke.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Anyway, I'll get you out unless I'm dead!" Chen Kang felt very sorry at this time, and he didn't know how he was so unlucky.
Chu Peiyao knew that the matter had come to this point, even if she scolded Chen Kang, it was useless, so she stopped her voice and only sulked in her heart.
The old man pulled firewood, added some dry wood, and the fire was rekindled, before he came to Chen Kang's side, squatted down, looked at him with wide eyes, and said, "Boy, I saved you just now, you tell me now, where is my wife?"
Chen Kang looked at the old man's eyes that were open but looked a little stupid, and the look of expectation on his face, and sympathy rose in his heart. Thinking that he had saved his life just now, I was very grateful in my heart. Seeing him ask at this time, he was afraid that if he said that the mother-in-law was dead, he would be stimulated and even more confused, so he had to make up nonsense to lie to him:
"That mother-in-law...... She...... Now that she's a kingfisher, of course she's going to fly around and play, and I don't know where she's gone. ”
"You talk nonsense, how could you not know? You even know that she has become a kingfisher, how can you not know that she is gone...... You must have deliberately hidden it from me and refused to tell me!"
Chen Kang listened to it with a big head, and secretly thought that even if I knew that she had become a kingfisher, would it mean that I knew where she went? What kind of logic is this? This old man's mind is really confused, and it seems that he will not give up if he doesn't tell him a place now. So I had to continue to make up:
"Oooh...... I remembered that the mother-in-law seemed to have said...... said that he wanted to go to the capital Danyang to see the world. ”
"Really!haha......" The old man was as happy as a child, "I should have thought of it! Qianniang used to say that she liked Danyan, that was where she lived since she was a child, but I just settled in that small town, so many years really made her wronged......"
As he spoke, tears flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly wiped them away, and then pulled Chen Kang and said, "Where is she in Danyan? Let's go find her now!"
Chen Kang couldn't help but feel sad when he saw him so infatuated.
Thinking that he just casually said that the mother-in-law went to Danyang, he actually believed it, and when he told him that he didn't know the whereabouts of the mother-in-law, he refused to believe it, in fact, he just wanted a hope, he selectively believed the answer he wanted, he just couldn't accept the fact that the mother-in-law was dead and would never be seen.
Chen Kang really couldn't bear to make up a place to trick him into going, so he said: "Uncle, let's go again tomorrow, it's not too late." I was hit by their secret weapon, there may be strong anesthesia on it, and now I can't move, you can't resist me all the way to Danyang. ”
Chu Peiyao, who was on the side, was confused when she heard the two of them talking, and when she heard Chen Kang say that she was going to Danyang with the old man tomorrow, she couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly said: "Chen Kang, you want to go to you, I have to go back to the inn to find Brother Yin." ”
"You are not allowed to go! You go, this kid is not honest to stay with me. What are you looking for, big brother and second brother, can your brother accompany you for a lifetime? Only your own father-in-law can accompany you for a lifetime, what an elm brain. The old man reprimanded Chu Peiyao, and then moved Chen Kang to the fire to examine the wound.
Chu Peiyao knew that the old man was half-crazy and couldn't tell him, so she only shouted to Chen Kang: "Hey, don't you really want to go with him?"
Chen Kang hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, don't worry! Anyway, I have my own plans......
With a "whoosh", the old man directly tore open Chen Kang's trousers, pulled out a diamond-shaped hidden weapon less than three inches long, leaned over to the firelight to watch carefully, and then threw it aside, muttering: "Why did this thing come out again." ”
"Uncle, what kind of secret weapon is that, I think it's so powerful!" Chen Kang asked.
"This thing is ...... What is it...... What's ...... it?" the old man touched his head and thought hard: "I can't remember the name, anyway, I've seen it before, but fortunately it's just an anesthetic, if it's poison, your little life will be gone." ”
"Yes, but I think it's very strong, and I don't know when I'm going to get too strong. Uncle, I have a friend who is going to the capital, and he happens to be on the same road with us, so let's go back to the city tomorrow morning and take him with us, okay?"
"You still have friends? Well, there are a lot of people, and my wife loves to be lively. The old man said happily.
"Yes, yes, there are more people, haha......" Chen Kang didn't expect him to agree, and couldn't help but be happy.
"No, your kid is good at martial arts, if your friend knows martial arts again, then what will you do when you join forces to beat me?" the old man came back to his senses.
"Uncle, no, my friend is a hero and won't bully you. In addition, he was going to the capital, and he was on the way to you. ”
The old man hurriedly shook his head like a rattle:
"No! No, I'm just easy to trust people, so I always suffer, don't try to lie to me, you kid. Tomorrow when your anesthesia is over, the three of us will go together. If you dare to inform your friend halfway, I will hide your daughter-in-law, and I will let you never see you for the rest of your life. ”
"Old man......" Chen Kang wanted to say something, but the old man stretched out his hand and tapped his dumb acupoint and said, "Look at how you kid chirps, it's noisy and annoying." As he spoke, he threw him next to Chu Peiyao in the haystack.
Chu Peiyao protested loudly: "Hey, hey, you move him out of the way!"
The old man jumped up with a glare, stretched out his hand and tapped Chu Peiyao at the dumb hole, "It's noisy!" and he lay down on the haystack in the corner of the wall on the other side.
The sky was bright, Chen Kang's anesthetic had been eliminated by half, after all, the old man's brain was not clear, and he was not thoughtful, so he only clicked on Chen Kang's dumb acupoint, but forgot that his body could move freely as soon as the anesthetic passed.
Chen Kang saw that the old man was still sleeping in a corner of the grass, his heart was ecstatic, and he hurriedly quietly untied his dumb acupoint, gently woke Chu Peiyao up, and whispered: "I'll unlock your acupoint immediately, don't make a sound, I'll carry you away." ”
Chu Peiyao blinked knowingly. Chen Kang untied her acupoint, put it on his back, and walked out of his face step by step, lest he make a sound and wake up the old man.
finally got out of the temple, but he still didn't dare to relax, and he didn't dare to run wild until he was almost half a mile away.
Chen Kang couldn't tell the direction at this time, anyway, he just wanted to stay away from the broken temple. I stopped all the way, but the fog had not yet dispersed, and the surroundings were still white, and the range of sight was very narrow, and I didn't know where I went.
Chen Kang put Chu Peiyao down and said, "Let's take a break, we have to wait for the fog to disperse and discern the direction back to the city before we can hurry." ”
Chu Peiyao got down from Chen Kang's back, left the warmth on his body, and suddenly felt a lot colder, standing in this fog for less than a moment, he felt that his hands and feet were frozen and a little disobedient, and he was busy rubbing his hands.
Seeing this, Chen Kang hurriedly took off his coat and put it on her. Chu Peiyao smiled gratefully: "You gave it to me, aren't you cold?"
Chen Kang said with a smile: "Of course I'm not cold, I'm a martial arts practitioner......" Before he finished speaking, he sneezed "Ahh
He is a person who practices martial arts, relying on his internal strength, he is already wearing very thin, but now except for the thicker padded jacket outside, there is only a thin underwear, plus the body has just withdrawn the toxicity of anesthetic, but he is very weak at this time.
"You still say it's not cold?" Chu Peiyao said that she was going to take off her clothes and give it to him.
Chen Kang hurriedly wrapped her tightly: "I'm a big man, what's so cold here? If you freeze, my heart will be even more uneasy......
At this time, the two were close at hand, and the heat of their breath could touch each other's faces. Chen Kang's face turned red and he let go of his hand.
Chu Peiyao frowned, very embarrassed, and the two were speechless for a while. After a while, Chen Kang said in a hurry: "I said...... That one...... I heard that your father is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, even if Yin Tiancheng is willing to do something between you and Yin Tiancheng, your family may not agree. ”
"As long as he is willing, even if my family disagrees, I don't care, it's a big deal that I wander the world with him. Chu Peiyao said in the affirmative.
"But...... You will inevitably make your parents sad like that, you ...... Does he have to do ......it? I heard that there will be a martial arts exam next year...... I mean, if ......"
Before Chen Kang finished speaking, Chu Peiyao interrupted: "Yes! He has to be! No matter who it is, what kind of person is a noble person, I am not rare!"
"You ......!" Chen Kang was a little angry, stopped talking, and twisted his head to the side.
After a while, the fog gradually lifted, a vast field was slowly revealed, and the outline of a village courtyard in the distance was faintly visible.
"There's a house over there, let's go and ask for the way to the city, and it would be nice if we could get a donkey for you to get around." Chen Kang said.
Chen Kang expected that this place was already a little far away from the city, and it was dawning, and it would be difficult for him to carry Chu Peiyao back, but it would be difficult for her to walk by herself.
When the two came to the manor, they saw that the door was closed, Chen Kang knocked on the door and said loudly: "Is anyone there?"
After waiting for a while, no one answered, and then he shouted loudly for the door. After a while, I heard the voice of a young boy inside, "Coming! coming!" followed by the sound of "slapping" and running.
A young servant of fifteen or sixteen opened the door, and when he saw Chen Kang, he fell down with a respectful smile: "Who are you? I thought it was the head of the house, they came back!"
Chen Kang said: "I'm passing by, and I want to ask my little brother for directions." ”
"Oh......" The servant nodded.
"Where should I go to Jizhou City?"
The servant pointed to a small road diagonally opposite: "Ah, you see, along this road, there is Zengjiazhuang not far in front, and you can see the official road when you turn Zhuangzi, and to the left is Jizhou City, which is only seven or eight miles away." ”
