52 Lonely Journey (11)
Thinking about it, thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little cold on my back, and I settled down, ordered everyone not to sleep, and collected firewood to relight all the fires. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info ordered someone to push Li Shiyuan and Wu Qingluan's prisoner car into the house, so as to take care of it, so as not to cause any mistakes.
Everyone did not dare to sleep all night, and finally managed to survive until dawn, when the rain had stopped, and nothing happened again. Before leaving, Huo Wei was still unwilling, and carefully checked the front and back of the house again, and saw a line of muddy footprints on the ground in front of the window, but the footprints were very small, not like the footprints of adults. On the walls of the house, there are muddy marks of someone stepping on them. Huo Wei followed the footprints again, only to see that the footprints were getting lighter and fainter, and finally came to the westernmost stove room, and saw a few faint footprints in front of the pot hole in the stove room, and some residual ashes fell on Huo Wei suddenly realized, it turned out that it was dark and rainy last night, but he forgot to check the pot hole in the stove room. Judging from the footprints, it is not like the footprints of an adult, but it looks like the footprints of a child, how can a child have the courage to do these things, and who is this? Why do you want to engage in these pranks? But if it is a prank, who is full of food and support to do these boring things in this wilderness and a dilapidated house? A series of questions made Huo Wei and the others have a headache, but they cannot be excused.
After Li Xiangru caught up with the prisoner car, he took a shortcut to the front of the road, and saw that it was already dark, and saw a row of houses not far from the avenue. I went into the room and walked around, but I didn't see anyone, and just when I came out of the house, suddenly lightning and thunder roared, and it rained. Thinking about the rain in the middle of the road, Huo Wei and his party must find a place to shelter from the rain, and there is no one nearby except this house, why not plan to lure them over. When the plan was decided, he gathered some dry wood from the ruined house, and built a large fire in the middle of the house, and then opened the door so that passers-by could see the fire from a distance. Wang Shihao and others were ordered by Huo Wei to come to find a place to take shelter from the rain, saw the firelight, went to the house, briefly checked around, and led Huo Wei and others to take shelter from the rain.
Li Xiangru had already prepared, and when Huo Wei led people to check, he had already hidden in the pot hole in the stove room. He was so small that he could shrink down and burrow into the hole in the pot under the stove. Huo Wei and the others ignored this section when they investigated, and besides, looking at the narrowness under the stove in the kitchen, it is speculated according to common sense that ordinary people will never be able to get in, how could they expect that there is a child hiding inside. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Li Xiangru secretly got out of the hole in the stove pot, and saw that his father and mother were soaked by the rain, but they were still cold and cold under the eaves, and hated these inhumane people to the extreme, thinking that this group of people was extremely hateful, and he had to think of a good trick to turn them over, and let out this evil breath in his heart. So he pretended to be a ghost and screamed scary. After Huo Wei and the others fell asleep, they climbed onto the roof and threw the Qing soldiers guarding Li Shiyuan and Wu Qingluan from above, which frightened the four Qing soldiers to cry and cry for their mothers, thinking that they were really haunted.
While everyone was in a hurry, he sneaked back into the stove room, scraped a lot of old pot smoke from the stove, smeared all his face, and turned out of the window, peeking into the house from the window, it happened that Huo Wei and others led people out to catch "ghosts", and Wu Yinglin was half asleep in the fire room opposite the room. Over the past few days, he has figured out that this person in gorgeous clothes is Wu Sangui's son and the head of this group. For a while, the childlike heart was full of joy, and I thought: "The old turtle caught my father and mother, and sent you, the little turtle, to escort you, I won't give you some hardship today, and I won't be surnamed Li." Thinking of this, there was something that scared Wu Yinglin to burn his buttocks. Li Xiangru played a trick on such a person, and saw that his father and mother were also invited into the room by them, and no longer suffered from the rain and wind, and his heart was extremely happy, and he didn't dare to stay longer when he saw that it was about to dawn, so he left the dilapidated house while the rain was getting lighter.
Wu Yinglin's buttocks were burned and he couldn't ride a horse, so Huo Wei ordered someone to make a simple stretcher, let him lie prone on it, and arranged for four Qing soldiers to take turns to carry it. Seeing that the capital was getting closer and closer, more than ten days later, I arrived at the outskirts of the capital, and I didn't encounter anything strange during this time. Wu Yinglin these days, can't sit, can't stand, can't ride, can't move, and it's inconvenient, and he's bumpy along the way, he's in a bad mood, and he scolds his subordinates when he's a little unsatisfactory along the way. Wu Yinglin has always been a person who practices martial arts, and his body is damaged and recovers faster than ordinary people, coupled with the use of the best trauma medicine Yunnan Baiyao, the scalded buttocks gradually scabbed, and there is no big problem, but he can barely ride a horse.
Arrived in Zhuozhou, after another one or two days, you can enter the capital, seeing that you are about to enter Beijing, Huo Wei and others are not in a hurry, this evening to Zhuozhou, then in the city of a hotel called "Yun Lai Ju" accommodation and accommodation, "Yun Lai Ju" is the first big store in Zhuozhou City, whether it is decoration or furnishings are first-class in the city, the most important thing is that the taste of wine and food in the store and the master's craftsmanship are first-class, so this "Yun Lai Ju" is well-known far and near. Wu Yinglin has been eating and sleeping in the rain for several months, and has suffered a lot, seeing that the heavy task given to him by his father is about to be completed, and he heard that there are several famous dishes in this "cloud to live", so he wants to have a delicious meal to make up for the hardships of many days of trekking. After everyone settled down, Wu Yinglin asked for the best private room upstairs, and ordered the shopkeeper to bring up all the best dishes and the most famous signature dishes of the store. When they came this time, they brought a cart full of gold, silver and jewelry, not to mention, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tickets. Gold and silver jewelry is Wu Sangui specially for the middle of the court such as the four auxiliary ministers and other people, Wu Sangui sat in Yunnan for more than ten years, the gold and silver treasures searched are countless, can be said to be rich rival the country. is only hundreds of thousands of taels, which is not a big amount for him, plus Wu Yinglin is his beloved son, and he is going to Beijing for the first time, so he has to be more generous, but he can't let these Beijing officials underestimate him. Therefore, the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tickets were given to Wu Yinglin to carry with him for him to spend on it.
As the saying goes, "Rich and rich." As soon as Wu Yinglin sat down, the hotel's junior two saw a group of them and dozens of officers and soldiers escorting the prisoner car, shouting and drinking, all holding bright knives and guns, Wu Yinglin, Huo Wei and others riding high-headed horses, all majestic and arrogant. I knew that this was a powerful Lord. and served diligently. Xiao Er waits for all kinds of guests all year round, and has developed a good eloquence, surrounding Wu Yinglin and others, one uncle on the left, and another uncle, which makes Wu Yinglin happy, and rewards him with twenty taels of silver as soon as he makes a move. The little two were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and they turned around the hall more diligently like a little bee. After a while, the wine and food were served, but I saw that the delicacies of the mountains and seas were all in order, running on the ground, swimming in the water, flying in the sky, everything. There is also the most famous Peking duck, which is also on the table. Wu Yinglin heard the name before he came, listened to Xiao Eryi's introduction, and hurriedly stuffed a piece with chopsticks into his mouth, and took a bite, sure enough, the skin was thin and the meat was crispy, fat but not greasy, crispy in the fragrance, and fragrant in the crisp. Wu Yinglin was full of praise, and everyone, under the leadership of the little prince, also let go and feasted. Li Shiyuan and Wu Qingluan, as usual, found the worst room on the first floor, put them in shackles and handcuffs, and were guarded by several Qing soldiers. Wu Qingluan vomited more and more times every day, and her stomach was bulging day by day. Due to the lack of adaptation to the soil and water and the months of traveling, it can be said that he was miserable, he had no appetite, he ate very little at every meal, and sometimes he barely ate, and the person was already emaciated. Li Shiyuan saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, every time he always persuaded her to eat more, Wu Qingluan tried to eat two bites for the sake of the child in her belly, and then vomited it again. The two Qing soldiers in charge of guarding scolded and scolded, ordered Xiao Er to enter the room and clean up, locked the door outward, and only guarded the door of the room, so he didn't bother to look at Li Wu and the others again.
