Chapter Forty-Eight: There Is No Village (1)
On the third watch, there was no one around, the air was filled with the smell of killing and blood, the surroundings were quiet and terrible, the patrol guards had long since gone, and even the wild cats scurrying around did not patronize here, it seemed that everything was unusual tonight.
The dim red of the noon gate lined Xiao Zhiche's pale face, and one step at a time, he licked his dry lips, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and was able to hold on to this place, it was he who was the maximum.
The heavy lacquered gold gate was closed tightly, and it was only a dozen steps away.
"Huh. Xiao Zhiche smiled bitterly, his face was full of sarcasm.
He paused, looked back, and muttered alone, "This huge palace doesn't have my Xiao Zhiche's place." ”
The voice became smaller and smaller, the steps were vain, and the person slowly fell, right in that corner.
"Brother Zhiche!
Suddenly a crack was opened in the heavy door, and the dirty girl poked her head out, and when she saw the bloodstained man, she panicked and ran over.
"Elan? Walk. ”
Xiao Zhiche, who was leaning against the corner, raised his eyes, and his voice was ethereal and intermittent.
"Let's go together, I'll take you to the doctor. ”
Su Yilan squatted down, wrinkled her brows, gritted her teeth and pulled Xiao Zhiche's arm, put it on her shoulder, and struggled to get up.
"No... Mind me. ”
Xiao Zhiche was powerless to resist, and the woman still carried him on his back.
"Brother Zhiche, my mother died early, and now my father is dead, and I have no relatives anymore, only you. ”
Su Yilan's voice was a little choked, but it revealed her unique stubbornness.
“...”
"Brother Zhiche, don't sleep, the carriage is in front, don't fall asleep like your father. ”
"Hmm. Xiao Zhiche closed his eyes and muffled in response.
"I'll talk to you, don't sleep. I was thrown out just now, I panicked, and then a little eunuch dragged me secretly, Brother Zhiche, guess what?" Su Yilan muttered softly.
"Hmm, cough, what?" Xiao Zhiche's eyebrows moved, and his face was tightly pressed against Su Yilan's neck socket.
"Coincidentally, the little eunuch said that he knew who I was, asked me to wait for you here, said that he wanted me to take good care of you, and stuffed me with a little silver taels, and led a carriage. ”
"Hmm... Master and servant. Xiao Zhiche hooked his lips, maybe the most nostalgic thing about this empty palace is the person who is sincere to him.
"It's here, Brother Zhiche, why are you so hot, quick, I'll help you go up and rest!"
"Why is this wound so big, does it hurt! As soon as the morning dawns, I will go to grab medicine and apply medicine to your wound, and then go to buy some food on a full stomach and go on the road." But where are we going, I'll drive, it's a good place to go south, otherwise we...."
Su Yilan lowered her head and carefully examined Xiao Zhiche's wounds, babbling non-stop.
"Elan..."
Xiao Zhiche looked at the nervous girl in front of him, like a little cat, his smile was pure, it was a smile from the heart.
"Does it still hurt? ”
"It doesn't hurt. ”
“...”
The humble carriage was parked on the side of the street, and the moon finally showed its true face through the thick clouds, and the light was warm, and the night seemed to be no longer full of murderous intentions.
Until the red sun rose little by little, the arrival of dawn was always inadvertent, the sun became more and more wanton, through the linen gauze in the small window on the carriage, directly to Xiao Zhiche's closed eyes, he felt the bump of the carriage, frowned, and slowly opened.
Xiao Zhiche looked down and saw that he was half covered with a rough blanket, the bloody clothes had already been replaced with a rough clothes, the wounds on his legs were perfectly bandaged, and even the scratches on his waist were medicated, but the bandaging on his waist was a little hasty, but the wounds were not as hideous as yesterday.
He smiled, as if he could clearly recall the shyness and haste of the woman's dressing of the wound.
I turned my head and looked at it, and there were more than a dozen rice cakes wrapped in oiled paper on the side, and even the kettle was ready.
"Yilan..."Xiao Zhiche gently lifted the corner of the curtain of the carriage door and called her.
I saw Su Yilan coiling her long hair behind her head, and she was also dressed in coarse linen, but she couldn't stop her smart and beautiful, her delicate and clean face was flushed, her nose was sweating, and she was holding two reins, which was imposing.
"Eh, huh!" Su Yilan's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the gentle call, and she immediately stopped the carriage, wiped her sweat with the sackcloth, and then looked back at Xiao Zhiche.
"Brother Zhiche, are you awake! Are you thirsty? Are you hungry or not! Don't move, you will be injured for a hundred days, and you will have to raise them for a hundred days!"
Su Yilan opened the curtain of the car, rubbed her wrist and got in, picked up the rice cake with one hand, and handed it over with the other.
"Yilan, thank you. Xiao Zhiche took it and ate it.
"Brother Zhiche, what are you talking about! I thank you! If it weren't for you, I..." Su Yilan's eyes darkened and she immediately waved her hand, and continued: "Oh, don't talk about it, from today onwards, you and I will depend on each other for life and death!"
"Huh-" Xiao Zhiche was amused by his words.
"That's right, Brother Zhiche looks good with a smile, when I first saw you, I thought I had seen a celestial!"
"Don't be joking, where are we?"
"I've left the capital and is heading south, I heard that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is unique, let's go down like this, we can get there in a few days! We can open a small shop when the time comes! I can make a lot of delicious pastries, Brother Zhiche is in charge of settling the accounts, then we will definitely be happy and worry-free!" Su Yilan danced a little.
"It's all up to you. Xiao Zhiche took a sip of water, stretched out his hand and touched her head.
"Well, then I'll go driving!" Su Yilan gently covered the blanket on the side, her face was a little shy, and she quickly ran out.
I only heard Su Yilan's bold voice outside the curtain, and the carriage began to hurry again.
Xiao Zhiche took a deep breath and closed his eyes again.
The screen slowly turns, as if their story is not over.
Soon, the sun seemed to be setting in the west, and night was coming, and the carriage was still driving the mountain road.
"Yilan, don't rush at night, let's rest. Xiao Zhiche broke the peace.
"Okay, let's stop in front, I see that there seems to be a post station not far away!" Su Yilan's voice was raised.
"Then let's go to the inn over there and rest. ”
"Good!"
But after a while, the carriage stopped.
"Brother Zhiche, come down. The carriage couldn't get up there, and the road was blocked by several fences. We'll be there once we go, I'll carry you!"
Su Yilan pointed to the trail, her face full of strangeness.
"It doesn't matter, I'll just take a walk. ”
Xiao Zhiche glanced at it, only to think that the fence was done on purpose.
"Well, I'll help you. ”
"Elan, can we take a detour? Why do I think there's something strange about here?"
"yes, it's a little weird that can't be explained. Then we're not going?"
Xiao Zhiche pondered wordlessly for a while, pulled Su Yilan and decided to go back to the carriage.
Suddenly.
"Boom-" several times.
Several masked men in black emerged from all directions, holding long knives around them.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Zhiche's eyes were cold, and he protected Su Yilan and stared at those unknown people tightly.
"Take the money to do things!"
The leader waved his sword.
