Chapter 45: The Cave is Deep
Yao Gui was sweating anxiously, so he asked Zuo Zixiao: "When things come to this point, how else can we deal with it?"
Zuo Zixiao drank tea and smiled unhurriedly, "If I don't have a way to crack his conspiracy, how dare I talk about it in front of Brother Yao!"
"Tell me!"
"Like you, I also received an invitation sent by Dong Guo Xiu," his face turned sharply, and he said with a sneer: "I have taken down the person who sent the post, and tortured him fiercely, he confessed everything he knew, Dong Guo Xiu knew Zhou Yi's identity first, and then in order to protect him, he married him." That person has been rebelled by me, he promised to come forward to testify when he testified against Dong Guo Xiu, the owner of the village only needs Nanjie barbarian, and he will come to help, and then let this person identify Zhou Yi, the owner of the village can be arrested for the crime of deception, and if Dong Guo Xiu wants to cover up, he can be killed together!"
Yao Gui laughed and said: "Clever plan! However, if Dongguo Xiu sees that the situation is not good, he will not protect Zhou Yi, so what can he do!"
Zuo Zixiao sneered: "Ignoring the righteous brothers for self-preservation, Dong Guoxiu will be treacherous and will be spurned by the world." When the time comes, if you wait for the opportunity to kill him, no one in Longyunzhai will be willing to die for him. ”
Yaogui clapped his hands and applauded, "Sun Tzu said, 'Go to the army and strategize', Brother Zuo is a good plan!"
At that moment, according to Zuo Zixiao's arrangement, Yao Gui secretly sent a letter to the barbarian, agreeing that he would come to help in the future. In addition, Yaogui and Zuo Zixiao each prepared a congratulatory gift for Dongguo Xiu, but he did not attend his banquet under the pretext of not attending it.
==***==
That night, Dong Guoxiu, Yuan Fu and others pretended to be drunk on the surface, but they were actually very sober, lest Yaogui take advantage of their drunkenness.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Yi got up slightly, found some gold sore medicine, and went out after fumbling around. At that time, it was the dead of night, and Wu Xin didn't sleep, because she heard the movement next door, she picked up the sword next to her and walked out. Zhou Yi was dressed in linen and green clothes, Wu Xin recognized him at a glance, he went out at this time, and the purpose can be imagined. After Wu Xin stood in Huayin, she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and smiled stupidly, her face full of sadness.
Although Zhou Yi was tired, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, thinking that the Zhou girl's physical condition was not good, and she was injured, how could she survive after several setbacks?
When he arrived at the cave, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers, Zhou Yi lit the prepared flint, lit a candle, and walked along a chicken intestine path.
Suddenly, Zhou Yi's neck was cold, and a cold blade came from behind. Zhou Yi immediately stopped, turned his head slowly, and saw that it was Yu Xi, and his panicked face suddenly relaxed.
"Miss Zhou, it's me!"
Zhou Yi was about to turn around, but was picked by Yu Xijian, and a bloody mark was immediately drawn on his neck.
"I know it's you! You bandits, do everything you can to bully the weak and fear the hard, and I will kill one by one!"
"The girl misunderstood, I and Longyunzhai are not all the way, just because I saved the life of their village owner back then, so I have some friendship with them, but this is a gentleman's friend, and I have not participated in anything that hurts heaven and reason. ”
Yu Xi snorted and asked coldly, "Since you are the leader of the bandits, why do you want to save them?"
"The so-called saving lives and helping the wounded, without remembering the criminal record, my mother is dedicated to kindness, and I am also wishing for her by doing this. ”
Yu Xi's hand shook suddenly, he withdrew his sword, his body shook, and he sat down on Shi Bi. Her face was sallow, her lips were chapped, and her eyes were full of confusion, obviously very weak.
Zhou Yi hurriedly came to help her, Yu Xi was in a trance at that time, but she was not confused, as soon as Zhou Yi approached, she became alert, "Stay away from me!"
After such a stalemate for a while, Yu Xi couldn't hold on anymore and fainted on the ground.
Zhou Yi dragged her to the cave, lit a candle and fed her some water, Yu Xi didn't know the taste, hazy, lest this man have a bad plan, and still held the scabbard in his hand.
Zhou Yi had no intention of offending, so he only applied gold sore medicine to her through her clothes, bandaged her, helped her to sleep on a hayfield, and went out with the sword himself.
It was early in the morning, and there was a thin layer of fog in the bamboo forest, so Zhou Yi took advantage of the pheasants to get up and crow, and used the sword to hunt and kill two pheasants. The cave was originally a place for Zhou Yi to prepare for refuge, so there were all kinds of pots and pans. Zhou Yi picked some warm herbs and stewed them with the pheasant for a long time, and the whole cave was filled with a delicious fragrance.
Yu Xi was dazed and felt that someone had fed her soup, she was hungry and weak, so she drank a bowl with a soup spoon. Zhou Yi smiled, seeing that this woman was so familiar, she couldn't help but want to ask some words, but when she thought of her chaste temperament, she couldn't tolerate half of the abruptness between her words, in case she asked the wrong thing and angered her again, the consequences would be unimaginable. Although looking at her can bring back some childhood memories, when I think of her surname Zhou, I can't help but laugh at my wishful thinking.
But in the end, she and Mo Li are a little similar, Zhou Yi sees her as naturally different from others, even if she is not an old friend, she can also talk about the pain of lovesickness.
After a day like this, it was dusk in a blink of an eye, and Yu Xi woke up in a trance, feeling that he also had strength in his body, but his mind was still a little drowsy. She reached out and touched the sword wound on her arm, and saw that a layer of medicine was applied through her clothes, while the son surnamed Zhou was far away and fell asleep by the aisle. He held the sword in his hand, his face haggard, and there were still traces of blood coming out of the wound on his leg.
Yu Xi couldn't help but smile slightly, and a warmth flowed in her heart. Thinking of the kick he kicked the day before yesterday and the sword mark on his neck yesterday, he really felt a little guilty in his heart, after all, he had saved himself three times in three days, in this era of war and chaos, it is rare to see such a humble gentleman.
Suddenly, the voices of two people were heard from the entrance of the cave.
Yu Xi was naturally alert, thinking that it was the group of robbers from Longyun Village who followed, so he snatched the sword from Zhou Yi and went up the hole. Zhou Yi also woke up, hurriedly got up, held the candle, and walked out holding the stone wall.
Out of the hole, it was raining lightly, Zhou Yi walked a few steps forward with a candle, and saw Yu Zhengxi pointing at two women with a sword, those two people were Yun'er and Zhong Yu.
Zhou Yi was startled, and hurriedly shouted to Yu Xi: "Girl, please stop!"
Before Yu Xi could ask in detail, Zhong Yu ran to Zhou Yi crying, "Brother, who is this person, how can she be with you!"
Zhou Yi calmed her down first, turned around and stopped Yun'er behind her, and said to Yu Xi: "These are my two younger sisters, don't misunderstand, girl!"
Yu Xi put away his sword and breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, the three women were all suspicious, and they all looked at him with strange eyes. Zhou Yi was quite embarrassed, at this time he was most worried that Zhong Yu would make trouble, Yun'er was still easy to speak, but this Zhou girl was like a fire, in case she and Zhong Yu had a disagreement, I am afraid that it would be difficult to end the game.
Zhou Yi invited the three of her to enter, but when she turned around, she was meditating, as the saying goes, women don't deal with common sense, and these three women really don't know how to deal with it.
The three of them sat still, looking at each other with different expressions. Zhou Yi limped into the hole, and the first one asked Yun'er: "Is the third uncle better?"
Yun'er nodded, but didn't speak, Zhou Yi looked at her, and her eyes revealed a bit of pleading, if Yun'er could be with him at this time, and could help persuade Zhong Yu, then everyone could be safe. Yun'er knew Zhou Yi's temperament, although they had been separated for nearly ten years, they were brothers and sisters who grew up together as children, so she sighed and said, "Thanks to the medicine you recovered, my father is much better." ”
Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Third Uncle is fine!" As he spoke, he turned to look at Yu Xi, gave her a look, and then introduced her to Yun'er and Zhong Yu: "This is because Miss Zhou is my life-saving benefactor!"
Yu Xi heard that something was wrong, and just as he was about to speak, Zhou Yi glanced again. Yu Xi is also an understanding person, since he said so, there must be his bitterness, now one of his two sisters must be difficult to provoke, rather than being pestered by her for no reason, it is better to sing this bitter drama with him.
A stone fell to the ground in Zhou Yi's heart, and then said: "It was raining heavily that day, and I had an injury on my leg. However, Miss Zhou came from afar, and she didn't know about the forces here, and there were some disputes with the people of Longyunzhai yesterday, Yaogui and those people relied on the strength of the crowd, so they were ruthless to her, and Miss Zhou saved my life, so I invited her to take refuge here. ”
Yun'er sighed and smiled at Yu Xi, "Thank you, girl!"
Zhong Yu never spoke, but his tortured eyes were always staring at Zhou Yi, because when he saw the two of them, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, his eyes turned, and he sneered: "Brother, my mother told me that your marriage with your sister is a matter of time or time, you have to come outside!"
Yun'er's face turned crimson with shame, but she didn't know how to refuse her, so she turned around and ran out to avoid embarrassment.
Zhong Yu hurriedly said to Zhou Yi: "Don't go and chase it back, she is not familiar with this place!"
Zhou Yi was caught off guard, and she was speechless by her, so she had to go out to chase Yun'er. Zhong Yu smiled coldly and followed Zhou Yi out of the door.
At this moment, Yu Xi stood alone in the cave, so it was not desolate. I thought that this was a kind man, and he had a marriage contract, and he really misunderstood him before. I think that although this place is outstanding, it is not a place to find Zhou Yi, and the place of right and wrong should not stay for a long time, it is better to leave early, so as not to mistake others for Zhou Lang and cause sadness in vain!
So, she took advantage of Zhou Yi and the others to go out, packed her bags, took her sword, and left alone.
After Zhou Yi persuaded Yun'er, he reprimanded Zhong Yu again, saying that he would let her come back and admit her mistake to Yu Xi. As soon as the three of them entered the door, they saw that Yu Xi had already left, Zhou Yi was stunned, but Zhong Yu smiled and said, "A wild girl, how can Sister Yun be half as good, look at your reluctant look!"
Zhou Yi looked at the empty floor and smiled helplessly.
