Chapter 265: Midnight Run
Wu Song was grateful to the old woman, if not, it was estimated that he would not be able to hold it back, but he was very embarrassed, he couldn't open the door immediately, if she misunderstood, thinking that she would do that thing by staying at her house for a night, and the countryside would have many scruples.
"Old man, you will come out later. He said stiffly.
The old woman was over seventy years old and didn't understand anything, she shook her head and said: "This man, the little lady is infected with wind and cold, how can she do that thing, in the future, the little lady is afraid of cold all the year round, and you will be harmed." ”
She put breakfast in front of the door and said, "The old man hurried to Liu'er's house, and breakfast was placed at the door." ”
"Old man, please tell Liu'er, if it's convenient, our husband and wife want to live in his house. ”
The old woman nodded, and said in her heart: "This man still knows how to read the corners of people's eyebrows." ”
She turned around and went out, and when she arrived at Tang Niu's house, Tang's mother came out to greet her, and the old woman whispered, "Where is Liu'er?"
Tang's mother was silent, took her into the inner hall, and then into the room, knocked on the bed three times, and Tang Niu came out from under the bed to kowtow to his aunt.
"Liu'er, it's really not the right time for you to come back!"
"Auntie, Liu'er hasn't been home for three years, how do you know that there is such a change in the family. ”
"What are your plans?"
"Liu'er's owner is a righteous person, a little powerful, and his martial arts are not bad, Liu'er wants to rush back to Mengzhou today and ask the owner to kill the evil Taoist and save his sister!" Tang Niu clenched his fists and his eyes cracked.
"You are lucky to come back this time, you didn't meet the person who guarded the village, and it was also the ancestor of the Tang family, who brought you back a way to survive and saved the grandson of the Tang family. ”
"Auntie, what do you have to do with your cousin?"
"Hey, stupid son, you still don't understand your aunt's words, he asked you to take your cousin away!"
"Yes, Liu'er, you listen to your aunt, don't come back if you leave, hey, you don't have to worry about Jiao'er's affairs, that person is extremely powerful, at that time, there were several righteous men in the village who stood up for your family, and they all killed him!"
"Auntie, don't worry, cousin, I brought it to Mengzhou, and naturally let the owner take care of it, but Jiao'er is Liu'er's own sister, if she doesn't save her from the fire, how can she be worthy of the ancestors of the Tang family, and how can she be worthy of her dead father!"
"Hey, the Tang family has such a good man as you, and it is also the blessing of the Tang family, my aunt will not persuade you, and my aunt is also very concerned about Jiao'er, I read Zhou Fuzi's "Tongshu", and said that tonight is a good trip, you and your cousin will set off tonight!" ("Tongshu" is also called "Tongsheng" is also available in contemporary times, but few people know that it is actually written by Zhou Dunyi of "Ai Lian Said")
"Auntie, you go back and inform Brother Wu, let's go together tonight!"
"Hey, this kind of thing, I have no time to take care of myself, how can I inform others, it's not that my aunt is bad-hearted, he has a sick lady, but it will affect you, and his mother is not conducive to hurrying. ”
"Auntie, he is the benefactor of Liu'er. ”
The old woman thought for a while and said: "I think that Wu Er is not an ordinary person, when his wife is well, I will show the way and let him go, as long as he does not meet the people guarding the village, it is estimated that it is not difficult to escape." ”
Tang Niu lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "What my aunt said is, don't say two or three hundred officers and soldiers, even if it is ......."
"Shh......h
The two ladies hurriedly asked him to silence, for fear that if he said the name of the official army, the official army would hear it.
Wu Song waited for Pan Jinlian to get dressed and put last night's clothes in the baggage, and then opened the door, and put half a fat chicken, a bowl of white porridge, and two salted eggs at the door, it is estimated that the fat chicken was left by the man last night.
Wu Song took the white porridge, fed Pan Jinlian to eat, gobbled it up himself, and ate half a fat chicken, Pan Jinlian asked him to eat two salted eggs, Wu Song felt a great shock.
There was nothing to do on this day, and the old woman brought the food on time at noon, and Wu Song asked, "Old man, is it convenient for my husband and wife to go over at Liu'er's house?"
"Liu'er has an emergency, and he returned to Mengzhou in the morning, so you can live here with peace of mind, not that the old body intends to stay in trouble, as the saying goes, the Taoist family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and some things are inconvenient to say. ”
Wu Song knew that she was talking about her son, so he pretended not to know, nodded and said, "Anyway, Wu Er lives here, and he can't leave the house an inch!"
"That's right!"
After dinner in the evening, the old woman brought hot water, Wu Song wiped Pan Jinlian's body, helped her lie down, and lay down beside her, still sleeping with her in his arms.
This night, Pan Jinlian was dressed, but Wu Song still couldn't sleep, like a cat in heat, restless, seeing that the time had come, a flirtatious heart could not be stable.
Da--da-da-da-da
There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the house, and Wu Song was shocked: "How can someone ride a horse galloping in such a place!"
He listened carefully, and there were not just one horse, but a dozen horses, and after a while, and another, seemed to run back and forth in the village.
"It's not someone from Gao Yu who found me here, or maybe it's a chaser sent by Liu Wenzheng. ”
"Erlang, why is it so noisy outside the house?"
"You can sleep in peace, I'll go and see, with me, no one can hurt you." ”
"Poof! This nature, with you, I have always been relieved!"
Wu Song pulled lightly on the door, but it was still locked, he moved the stool, removed the tiles, and Pan Jinlian smiled: "Are you a mouse?"
"That's right, the rat is going to get married!"
Wu Song jumped on the roof with a smile, only to see more than a dozen horses running back and forth in the village, and the people on the horses were holding torches, sure enough, it was the official army, he sneered: "It turned out that you came for me, don't say that you only have a dozen people, even if it is a few hundred, Wu Song doesn't care!"
More than a dozen officers and soldiers ran a round, and it was estimated that they had already woken up the people in the village, and one of the leaders shouted loudly: "I know that you have hidden people in your house! If you don't hand over the people tomorrow afternoon, the master will set the Tianshen Village on fire, and then everyone will not want to live!"
After he finished speaking, he drove the horses again, and more than a dozen people ran back and forth in the village, shouting what he had just said, and the whole village was filled with a murderous atmosphere at midnight.
Wu Song sneered: "You want people at noon tomorrow, and the master will kill you one by one at noon tomorrow to see how you can burn Tianshen Village!"
Now that the matter is clear, Wu Song is at ease, jumps out of the house, and doesn't bother to clean up the hole in the roof, and lies on the bed peacefully.
Pan Jinlian hugged him tightly and said softly: "Erlang, are the officials and soldiers chasing after you?"
"Yes, are you afraid?"
"You carried your eldest brother into Yanggu County that day, I was very scared, afraid that I couldn't die with you, and now what is there to be afraid of, born together, died together. ”
"Yes, as long as our husband and wife can be together and never separated, who cares about life and death!"
"It's just a little weird. Pan Jinlian stroked Wu Song's face and whispered, "Why do you want to rush in at noon tomorrow?"
"First, they didn't know which family we were in, and second, they said they wouldn't hand over anyone, so they set fire to the village....."
"They are afraid of your courage and use the villagers as a threat!"
