Chapter 263: Childe Goes West

A few catchers held steel knives and rushed over quickly, and Hu Qiong turned around and ran towards the backyard. Run through the garden, use the light skill of "flying with the wind", and run to the fence. At this time, two catchers jumped from the wall. Hu Qiong turned around and ran back, the catcher behind him quickly came up, raised his knife and slashed, Hu Qiong was in danger, and used the "windward swing" to avoid the pursuit of these people, and ran to the wall, anxious to "fly with the wind", his body was upright, lying on the wall, turning over the wall, and running like flying.

The fence is not high, and the catchers in the courtyard have climbed the wall and climbed over the wall to chase after them. Hu Qiong turned his head to see that the catcher was chasing quickly, his pace quickened, and he rushed forward. Turning a lane, I saw a broken wall, and rushed in. The courtyard is narrow, there are few trees, there are not many sundries, there is no way to hide, there is a thatched house by the wall, at this time it is impossible to turn around and go out, so I have to rush into the thatched house and hide in the corner.

A few catchers then chased after him, and saw that the courtyard was empty, and there was only one thatched house that could hide people, so he ran to the thatched house, and a smell went straight to his nose, and he hurriedly turned around and walked away.

"This kid can climb the wall, maybe he will run over the wall. Chase after it. ”

The gang quickly climbed up to the wall and climbed over to the other side of the wall.

Hu Qiong hid in the thatched house, and the stench was terrible, but where did he dare to go out again?

I endured it for a long time, and then there were a few rooster crows in the distance, and the sky was slightly bright. Hu Qiong walked out step by step, and she didn't dare to go home, hiding under the eaves of others.

Not long after, an old man came over with a cart, this is "Ye Xianglang" pushing a dung cart, "babble, ......" came over.

Hu Qiong greeted him. The "Night Fragrance Lang" asked in surprise, "Who is it, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Hu Qiong ignored the smell of the dung bucket and said with tears: "I am Hu Qiong of the Hu family in front." Arrest me quickly and falsely accuse me of being a Jiangyang thief, and hunted me down last night. I escaped and didn't dare to go home. ”

That night, Xianglang looked at Hu Qiong left and right, a thin and weak, Svenwen young man, where did he look like a Jiangyang thief? Then he asked, "Where is Gongzi Hu going?"

Hu Qiong was sad and couldn't help crying, saying: "I have a home that I can't go back to, and I don't know where to go." ”

Ye Xianglang said: "I think you are also pitiful." In this way, Hu Gongzi doesn't hate the stench, I'll take you out of the city, you hide for a few days and then go home. ”

Hu Qiong said "thank you", bent down to help push the dung truck, had endured the smell of the middle of the night, and did not feel uncomfortable at this time, and walked towards the north of the city step by step. At this point, the night turns to darkness.

Came to the city gate, the city gate was not opened, Ye Xianglang called to open the city gate, and the two pushed out the dung truck and came to the outside of the city step by step. After thanking Ye Xianglang and parting, Hu Qiong stood in the night, not knowing where she was?

It turned out that after the group failed to catch Bai Guanghua, they had to put their minds on Hu Qiong, who was drinking with him. When they came to Hu's house, they looted for a while, swept away the gold, silver and jewelry, and finally fell into their own pockets. Lord Wang scolded him and solved the case within a time limit.

On the morning of this day, the villagers of Wangcheng Mountain came to report that two people had been killed in Wangcheng Temple. The hunters rushed to the scene, searched for a while, and found the stolen goods under the slate. They started to think crookedly again, and seeing that Hu Qiong's family was rich, they threw two corpses into Hu's house at night to frame them. I didn't want Hu Qiong to escape.

From the second day onwards, the arresters went to the Hu family every day to threaten them, only the widowed mother was in the hall, and they extorted and deceived. Hu's mother couldn't, so she had to sell her ancestral house and the fields outside the city. The catchers got the silver, and saw that the Hu family had no oil and water to squeeze, so they went to the yamen to close the case.

Although this Lord Wang was greedy, he knew in his heart that the Hu family had been wronged, so he would no longer investigate the matter. Jiang Yang's thief is dead, the stolen goods have been obtained, and the case is closed.

Hu's mother had to move to the countryside, live in a few thatched huts next to the ancestral grave, send away the domestic servants, and leave only the old servants at home to take care of them. In the end, even the remaining 30 acres of land were sold cheaply, just because of a case for no reason, which made a wealthy family almost useless.

But he said that Hu Qiong fled outside the city, thinking that he wanted to go to his uncle's house in Chongqing, but he didn't have much money on him, and he couldn't move an inch. After thinking about it, I had to go to a distant relative's house in the countryside first and borrow some money for a long trip.

Hu Qiongqi walked in panic for more than an hour, and when he came to a village by the river, he did not dare to enter the village, but only looked outside the village. At this time, breakfast was over, and the villagers came out to work with farm tools. Hu Qiong was afraid of being seen, so she hid in the bushes, but she saw her relatives coming to work in the fields. Only then did Hu Qiong appear and shouted, "Uncle Cousin......"

When the cousin heard this, he looked up and saw Hu Qiong standing under the tree, and hurriedly walked over and asked, "Nephew, come here so early? I think I miss your sister?"

Hu Qiong said: "No. I was framed and fled here. ”

Uncle Cousin said, "Hurry up and go home." ”

Hu Qiong said: "I am going to Chongqing now to vote for my uncle." ”

Uncle Cousin looked at Hu Qiong and asked with concern, "I see you haven't eaten yet, right?" Go home first, eat and then leave." ”

Hu Qiong was in the period of Ai Ai, but he didn't move. Uncle Cousin jokingly said, "Are you afraid that I will report the crime?"

"It's not. ”

"Then I'll call your sister to come here and meet you. ”

"Forget it. Hu Qiong was depressed, lowered her head, and didn't say much.

This cousin is over sixty years old, and he has seen the world, and he immediately understands in his heart, and says: "My nephew is alone, I think he is missing entanglement?"

"Exactly, in a hurry, penniless. ”

Uncle Cousin said: "When your sister came, she brought two taels of silver, and I will bring it to you so that I can go on a long road to Chongqing to find your uncle." ”

Hu Qiong hurriedly shook her hand and said, "This is the girl's fee at your house, I can't ask for it." ”

Uncle Cousin said: "Alas, your sister is in my house, but there is an extra pair of chopsticks, an extra scoop of water in the pot, and the food and use are all homemade, where can I use the silver? ”

Uncle Cousin put down his farm tools, turned around and walked home. After a while, my cousin took my sister and my family to the ground.

Uncle Cousin handed over two taels of silver to Hu Qiong, and said, "It's a long way from here to Chongqing, you are alone, your body is weak, where have you walked this long road?" When I arrived in Chongqing, I could ask someone to reply to my family. ”

Hu Qiong also tearfully agreed one by one. The sister also came over, took off a golden hairpin on her head, and handed it to her brother: "Brother, you can exchange it for silver." ”

Uncle Cousin stuffed half of the leftover cake from the morning into Hu Qiong's hand and said, "You can eat it on the road." ”

Hu Qiong said goodbye to her sister-in-law and cousin's family, held back her tears, and came west.

By this time, the sun was already rising. As Hu Qiong walked, she finished eating the half of the cake and begged the farmers working in the fields for a bowl of water to drink. Hu Qiong was full of food and drink, took a big stride, and walked along the Yangtze River, just towards the west step by step.

Along the way, hungry and thirsty, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and it has been several days. On this day, when I walked to the ground of Zhijiang, I had already left the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, and the thought of homesickness became heavier and heavier, and I didn't know the good fortune and misfortune of my family.

Walking through Zhijiang City, there is a remote path in front of you. It's early summer, the trees are full of new leaves, the pavilions are like covers, the chirping of the orioles along the way is crisp and pleasant, and sometimes the pheasants fly away, but it is also full of wild fun. Hu Qiong walked feverishly, so she took off her robe and continued to walk forward. After walking for more than an hour, the road was desolate and uninhabited.

At this time, Hu Qiong was walking in a reed, and suddenly saw a person in front of him, holding a steel knife, blocking the road. Hu Qiong "sigh", met the robbers blocking the road, turned around sharply, there were two people coming here, so he had to run to the right, the right side had already met him with a knife, and ran back to the middle of the road, at this time, there were five people around him in front and back.

The robber cried out, "Leave the money and belongings, and spare you from death." ”

Hu Qiong saw that he couldn't escape, so he had to settle down and said, "I want to go to Chongqing." I didn't bring much silver. ”

"Less nonsense, is it fatal, or is it silver?"

Of course, Hu Qiong was fatal, and she couldn't pass the test, so she had to take out her sister's golden hairpin from her arms and said, "There is a golden hairpin here, for all heroes." ”

"Bring it. The robber stretched out his hand and grabbed it.

The robber put the golden hairpin in place and cried out, "Take out the money from your body, and hurry up, lest the master do it." ”

Hu Qiong said honestly: "I want to go to Chongqing, and I want to use silver." ”

The robber shouted, "It seems that you are not dying." "Shake the steel knife and shine in the sun.

Hu Qiong was frightened and hurriedly took out the silver on his body.

"Anything else?"

"No more. ”

"Dig again. ”

Hu Qiong took out his pocket with his hand, and it was indeed completely clean, and it was gone.

As soon as the leader winked, five steel knives beckoned to Hu Qiong's head. At the fatal moment, Hu Qiong took out his housekeeping skills and used a trick to "swing against the wind," dodging a knife in front and a knife in the back, and escaped from under the third knife.

"Good boy, your ability is not small, I can't spare you. ”

The five of them surrounded Hu Qiong in the middle and killed him. When fleeing for her life, Hu Qiong used the skillful "swing against the wind" and "fly with the wind", rushing left and right, flying like a bird, but there was no injury on her body.

Seeing that Hu Qiong was just dodging, the five people did not fight back, said hello, narrowed the encirclement together, and slashed at Hu Qiong with their knives.
