The moon is hidden and the stars are scarce, and dawn is about to come to this Kyoto. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On Qianyuan Street, a piece of silence, suddenly from a distance came the sound of horses' hooves, in a blink of an eye, a carriage from far and near, appeared in this faint morning light, the horse is an old horse, the car is a broken car, but a cart of vegetables is fresh, but also with the dew in the suburbs and fields.

The carriage walked unhurriedly on the spacious streets of Qianyuan Street, and the old horse was very familiar with every inch of the road here, so it walked so calmly.

The driver was an old woman over half a hundred years old, unkempt and with an old dress, she held a horsewhip, sat on the wheel, drowsy. It's about the reason for waking up early.

The old horse pulled the broken car, and soon stopped in front of the side door of Shouwang's Mansion, and the old Hu on the door saw the old horse broken car from a distance, so he opened the bolt of the side door and opened the door.

The broken car jingled into the door, and Lao Hu found the old woman sitting on the wheel, and he asked in surprise: "Why is it not Lao Kang?"

The old woman jumped out of the car and said flatteringly: "You are Brother Hu, Lao Kang is sick, so let me deliver this dish on his behalf." After that, he took out a pot of burning knives brewed by the local method from the pile of vegetables in the car, handed it to Lao Hu and said, "This is what Lao Kang asked me to bring to you!"

Lao Hu likes to drink two sips of nothing, especially the burning knife made by this local method, so he took it overjoyed, but still asked uneasily: "Who are you Lao Kang!"

The old woman said: "His new wife!"

Lao Hu said reassuringly: "I said it! I haven't heard Lao Kang mention it before." ”

The old woman said: "I have to trouble Brother Hu, how can I go to this kitchen?"

Lao Hu glanced at the burning knife in his hand, and then said briskly: "I'll take you there!"

The old woman said happily: "That's great." Mr. Kang and I talked to you and said that you were a good person. ”

Lao Hu took the old woman, led the carriage, and went around three times to the kitchen of the palace.

The old woman looked at it, this kitchen is really big, there is a single courtyard, there is a main room, there is a side room, and there is a firewood and grass room, but in front of the door of the firewood and grass room, there are two strong samurai.

The old woman asked Lao Hu beside her curiously: "In the end, it is the palace, and this firewood and grass are heavily guarded!"

Old Hu said: "What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense, let alone go near there, there is an extremely dangerous person in there." Just unload all the dishes to the kitchen door!

The old woman said, "Brother Hu, thank you, you can get busy!" After that, the old woman began to move the vegetables in the car to the kitchen door one by one.

Lao Hu returned to the gatehouse with the wine jug.

The old woman had a few strengths, divided the food on the cart by two, put the food on the carriage at the door, and then wiped the dew on her hands, and turned the carriage in one direction.

At this time, she touched her abdomen, and then hurriedly walked to the firewood room.

The two guards in front of the firewood room opened their eyes widely, they had been observing this old woman for a while, and they didn't understand why there was a new old woman today, it turned out that an old man came every day.

At this time, it was the old man who drove out, why did this old woman come towards them, they alertly showed the knife on their waists, and said sharply: "What are you going to do?

The old woman said in a trembling voice as she walked forward: "Two military masters, where is the toilet, I am a little anxious." ”

When the two guards heard this, they lowered their knives with confidence, and one of them pointed to the northwest corner and said, "There!"

The old woman turned around and ran to the northwest corner, and before she took two steps, she turned around and said embarrassedly: "Two military masters, which of you has a paper on him, and I am in a hurry to come out......"

The two guards glanced at each other, rummaged through their pockets with great annoyance, and one of them took out two pieces of paper and said disdainfully: "Your life is good, it just so happens that I have two here, take them." ”

The old woman was very happy, and ran over in three steps and two steps, and reached out to take the two pieces of paper.

The guard handed over the two pieces of paper in his hand, and the moment the two hands intersected, the old woman's fingers hit the guard's chest like lightning.

The guard's movements and expressions froze there in the blink of an eye, and the other guard, incredulous at the sudden change in front of him, hurriedly swung his knife at the country woman in front of him, who had suddenly turned into a demon.

The old woman didn't dodge, and with one move to grab the white blade empty-handed, the guard's steel knife became in the hands of the old woman.

The guard was about to shout, but the old woman's hand was faster, and with a single move, the crane flew in unison, and hit the acupoint on the guard's shoulder and neck, and the guard froze on the spot.

The old woman was even more unrelenting, flew to the front of the firewood and straw house, took out a key from her waist, opened the iron lock in three or two clicks, and then quickly pushed the door open.

In the faint morning light, the old woman found a person chained to the ground between the firewood and grass, and was looking at her uninvited guest with strange eyes.

The old woman didn't have to say anything, took out a key from her waist, and with three or two clicks, she opened the lock on the chain, and then asked the man, "Can you go?"

The man nodded, stood up, and the old woman led him out of the wood gate, and then closed the door, and when she passed by the guard, she did not forget to put the steel knife in her hand into the guard's sheath.

The old woman took the man to the carriage, made him lie on the carriage, and then put the tattered sack containing the vegetables over him, and led the carriage slowly along the same road to the side door.

When the broken carriage arrived at the side door, Lao Hu said to the old woman while opening the door: "Ask Hou Laokang for me." ”

The old woman said: "When Lao Kang is cured, let him invite you!"

Lao Hu said: "Okay, good, be careful on the road!"

The old woman said, "It's okay, this horse can find a home by itself." ”

The old horse broke the car and slowly passed by Lao Hu.

Lao Hu glanced at the car and saw that it was a pile of broken sacks, but he didn't care. After the broken car passed through the side door, he closed the door again.

The carriage marched on Qianyuan Street again, still so slowly, at this time, there were already people who had traveled early, but they didn't care about the old horse and broken carriage at all.

Half an hour later, the carriage went out of the city, and when it was out of the city, the old woman whipped the horse, and the old horse quickened his pace, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the edge of a black pine forest, and the old woman stopped the carriage, jumped off the wheel, and then uncovered the sack on the carriage.

The man in the car slowly stood up, looked up and down at the unkempt old woman in front of him, and said, "Who are you, why do you want to save the old man?"

The old woman didn't say much, pointed to the black pine forest, and motioned for him to get out of the car and go there.

Without further ado, the man jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the dense black pine forest.

The old woman swung her whip and whipped it at the old horse, who was in unbearable pain, and pulled the broken cart without stopping, and ran forward frantically.

The old woman also turned and walked towards the dense forest.
