Chapter 2 Flee for your life
As soon as they ran more than ten zhang, they saw seven or eight black shadows coming in front of them, Mr. Chen and Duan You turned into an alley, walked a few steps, and heard someone in front of the alley, Mr. Chen sent Duan Ling to the wall, and lifted Duan You up, and said in a deep voice: "Ximen, see you under the Lingjun platform." ”
Duan You asked anxiously: "Where are my parents?"
Mr. Chen said that he would go back and go deeper into the alley.
Duan You's brother and sister shrank up, and heard the sound of fighting coming from the direction where Mr. Chen was rushing, and then the previous pursuers also came and chased them along the alley.
Hearing the sound in the distance, Duan Youduan Ling slipped down the wall and fell on all fours. Ignoring the pain, Duan You picked up Duan Ling on his back, turned left and right to hide, entered the alley and crossed the street, and finally walked to the West City Gate, and when he opened his eyes, a coolness welled up in his heart.
But seeing that the west city gate was closed, and the city wall was full of wind lanterns, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day, and the 100th soldier stood majestically, some people shouted: Don't let the Duan family go alone!
Duan You already understood: The whole city of Liangzhou City is chasing and killing the people of Duan Mansion tonight!
Duan You suddenly felt horrified in his heart, what about his father, what about his mother?
turned around and rushed in the direction of Duan Fu. After running a few steps, I thought again that Xu was father who had already protected his mother and Master Duan's family in the city, and he didn't have time to find him and Ling'er, so he asked Mr. Chen to come and take them to the city.
It should be like this, people say that my father is strong in martial arts and will not be able to do anything.
Duan Youxin was at ease. Seeing that Ximen was not going, he carried Duan Ling on his back, dodged all the way, and went to the north city gate.
The situation at the North Gate is the same as at the West Gate.
Duan You did not give up, and turned to the east city gate.
After walking for a while, Duan You suddenly remembered something, hid in the dark, put down Duan Ling, and scratched his ears and cheeks: As soon as Liangzhou City enters the night, the four gates are closed, and the sky is open, how can they go at night! Previously, Mr. Chen asked them to go to the West Gate, but there was a water entrance next to the West Gate, and the snow and water of Qilian Mountain flowed in all year round. The water inlet is not big, but children can drill through it, and Duan has played with it. Mr. Chen's original intention was to ask Duan Youduan Ling to wait for the opportunity to drill out of the water hole, but he did not expect that he was heavily guarded everywhere and categorically could not go.
I had to wait until dawn.
Duan You thought for a moment, got up and walked, walked not far, and found a dilapidated courtyard, without doors and windows, and saw that it was uninhabited, so he walked into the house in the dark.
There was a stench in the room, and suddenly a shout rang out and asked, "Who is it?" Listening to the clicking sound, a fire fold lit up, reflecting an unkempt and thin face, and at a glance, there were many shadows, and there were several people sleeping on the ground, all of whom were the same size as Duan.
Duan Youjian saw that it was a few little beggars, put his mind at ease, and said, "I'm lost, please let us stay for a while, and leave after dawn." As he spoke, he put down Duan Ling.
The little beggar didn't think twice: "Okay." After saying that, the fire was extinguished, and he fell asleep.
Duan You took Duan Ling's hand, went to the corner of the room in the dark, and sat down against the wall. The ground was full of thatch, and it was evident that this was the foothold of the little beggars.
Duan Ling quickly fell asleep in Duan You's arms. Duan You gradually adapted to the night in the house, and could vaguely see that there were four little beggars in the house, all sleeping soundly. There was a deep drowsiness in the room, and he soon fell asleep too.
After sleeping for nearly an hour, the sky was already slightly bright, Duan You felt something strange in the haze, suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and saw three dirty faces in front of his forehead, and six eyes staring at him fixedly, Duan You was shocked.
"Who are you, why did you come to our house?" A little beggar in the middle asked, but without waiting for an answer, he continued, "My name is Tang Heizi." "His mouth is to the left," he said, "and his name was Deng Yu'er. "To the right," his name is Mao Wuzi. Then he turned his head and pointed back at the thin-faced little beggar who asked questions when he entered the house, and said, "He is our boss, his name is Zhu Yuan, if you want to join the gang, you have to have the final say in Boss Zhu." ”
"Come back. Before Duan You could answer, the little beggar named Zhu Yuan sent a message to ask Tang Heizi and the three of them to return to him, looking at Duan You and Duan Ling with bright eyes, and he didn't speak, as if he was scrutinizing.
This Zhu Yuan has a thin face and broad forehead, sparse eyebrows, and slender and indiscriminate eyes. Duan You saw him looking at himself intently, thought for a moment, and said, "It's dawn, we should also go, thank you, little brothers." After waking up Duan Ling, he had to get up.
"Your surname is Duan, right?" Zhu Yuan suddenly asked.
Duan Youyou was stunned and was about to deny it, but seeing that Zhu Yuan had no malicious intent, he didn't speak, neither denying nor admitting it.
Zhu Yuan saw that Duan had not denied it, and suddenly raised his hand and gave Tang Heizi beside him a burst, Tang Heizi covered his head and shouted: "Why don't you beat Deng Yuer Mao Wuzi, always beat me!"
Zhu Yuan grinned and said, "They are not here to join the gang, teach you to listen to my Boss Zhu's skills." ”
Zhu Yuan said to Duan You's brother and sister: "They are fleeing for their lives! One night, people on the street shouted and screamed, arresting the Duan family everywhere, and all the adults and dolls surnamed Duan in the city ran around, some died, some were arrested, and some ran away, these two people ran for the third watch in the middle of the night - no, it was the fourth or fifth watch in the middle of the night, it must have been the Duan family who fled for their lives!" Seeing Duan You, "Right?"
Duan You was stunned and secretly on guard. Duan Ling hid behind Duan You, her eyes wide open. Tang, Deng, and Mao also looked at Duan You's brothers and sisters in amazement.
Zhu Yuan smiled and said to Duan You, "Don't worry!" patted his thin chest exaggeratedly, "I, Zhu Yuan, am the boss of the rivers and lakes, and I will never betray my friends, and it is my duty to save you...... What, as it should be!"
Duan You put his mind at ease, looked at Zhu Yuan's righteous and awe-inspiring look, and smiled.
.........
Half an hour later, six unkempt little beggars came from a dilapidated courtyard and swaggered towards the east gate.
These six people are naturally Duan You and Zhu Yuan.
Duan You and Duan Ling were wearing the clothes of the two little beggars who had died earlier, which were tattered and dirty; His hair was messier than a chicken's nest and covered with grass clippings, and his face, neck, and arms were covered in mud — Duan You and Duan Ling could barely recognize each other.
On the way, Tang Heizi looked at Duan You from time to time, looked at Duan Ling, and then gave Deng Yuer or Mao Wuzi a chestnut blast, selling his own disguise technique.
Duan You's original intention was to go to the West City Gate, but he thought that he had played in the water hole at the West City Gate, and that a gate guard sergeant knew him, and Zhu Yuan said that he had friends at the East City Gate, so he chose the East Gate just in case. Lingjun Terrace is in the northwest of the city, and after the city, go around it again, and walk a little more.
After walking for a short time, they arrived at the east gate, but they saw that the city gate had been opened, and there were more soldiers guarding the gate than usual, and there were thirty or forty people from the city, lined up in a long line, and they were all over the place. In the middle of the door stood three martial arts people, their eyes burning, and two men about forty years old, with a slight arch on their backs, their eyes swept over the faces of the people of Qicheng one by one.
Duan You saw the two of them, and his heart palpitated: These two people seem to be the servants of the Duan Mansion!
Duan You tried his best to calm his heart, bowed his head slightly with Duan Ling, followed Zhu Yuan, and slowly approached the city gate without looking at the faces of the two old servants.
Zhu Yuan was really familiar with the little leader of a soldier, and as soon as he approached the city gate, he greeted him with a giggle, and held a chicken leg and stuffed it into the mouth of the little leader, and was kicked by the little leader, saying Who wants your stinky chicken bones, and catch a pheasant for Lao Tzu when he comes back. A few little beggars gathered out of the city gate in a noisy.
Duan Youbian was like a sleepy bird getting out of the cage, and his heart was relaxed.
At that time, it was almost Mid-Autumn Festival, and most of the crops outside the city were harvested and returned to the warehouse, leaving only carrots. Duan Youduan Ling followed Zhu Yuan and the others to the east for about a mile, threw themselves into a field, allocated six or seven carrots per person, and when a farmer shouted and hurried, everyone had already run away.
Walking a mile to the east, far away from the city, Duan You and Zhu Yuan sat down by a ditch and ate carrots. Duan You wanted to rest for a while, so he broke up with Zhu Yuan and the others and took a detour to Lingjuntai in the northwest of the city. At this moment, Zhu Yuan said "Huh" and asked, "Where is Mao Wuzi?"
A few people found out that Mao Wuzi was not with them.
Tang Heizi said: "It seems that I haven't seen him since I was in the city." Deng Yu'er also nodded in agreement.
Zhu Yuan frowned and thought for a while, then a chestnut bomb flicked at Tang Heizi, and said fiercely: "Mao Wuzi, this thief baby, must have gone back to steal Brother Duan's clothes." After speaking, he looked at Duan You.
Duan You, Duan Ling's original clothes were thrown in that dilapidated house. Duan You didn't want to take back the things that had been thrown away, so he waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter.
After resting for a while, Duan You said goodbye to Zhu Yuan and led Duan Ling to the north.
After walking for more than half an hour, Duan Youduan Ling had gone around to the north of the city, and then walked to the northwest. At most an hour, it will be time to reach Lingjuntai.
Suddenly, there was a shout behind him, and after a while, I saw two little beggars running panting, and when I saw Duan Youduanling, a beggar shouted: "Run, there are three ghosts catching the babies, they want to steam and eat!"
Duan Yiyi heard this, his scalp was numb, and he picked up Duan Ling and ran west.
After running for a while, Duan You gradually felt that something was wrong, and his intuition told him: There are three people who are arresting him and Duan Ling, what are the three powerful ghosts!
Then he turned north, looked for a ditch, and ran away.
Running and running, a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in Duan You's heart. Looking around, I saw a row of peasant courtyards not far away, and hurriedly ran over, and drilled into the wheat straw pile behind a courtyard, and after a while, I drilled into the wheat straw pile, and found a big hole in the ditch not far from the courtyard, and the two of them drilled into it.
After a while, I heard the people on the other side of the courtyard shouting and barking dogs, but it was the eldest of the "Five Tigers of Mobei", known as the "Divine Tiger", who took the second white tiger Chagan Bari, the third black tiger Hari Bari and more than a dozen soldiers to search over. More than a dozen soldiers searched the courtyard one by one, and picked up the wheat straw behind the courtyard. The farmers crouched on the ground, shivering.
Next to him, there were two little beggars with a straw rope around their necks, and the other end of the straw rope was in the hands of the white tiger and the black tiger respectively. One of the little beggars is Mao Wuzi!
The three tigers chased after him, and it was because of Mao Wuzi. As soon as he arrived at the East City Gate in the morning, Mao Wuzi turned back, put on Duan You's clothes, and went to the pawnshop to exchange money with Duan Ling's clothes. A little beggar was dressed brightly, and there was a set in his hand, which attracted people's attention, and before he arrived at the pawnshop, he was captured by the soldiers as a thief, and the truth was revealed in the first trial. The soldiers reported the situation, and the three tigers personally went to the city and chased them all the way.
