Chapter 119: Kind Mood
Du Sheng sat in a daze in the center of the grain field outside a small village where the peasants shook off and cleaned up the grain, one side of the mill was used as a stone chair, and Cui Mingyu, the only one left beside him, took some dry food, and said softly: "Brother Du, eat some, it's been a day and a night, and I have eaten a few bites on the mountain, you are our backbone, you can't collapse!"
Du Sheng relieved himself, reluctantly squeezed out a little smile, gently patted Cui Mingyu's shoulder, sighed and said: "You eat, I don't have an appetite for a while, I won't collapse, only the imminent anger of the imperial court can make me feel hopeless." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Cui Mingyu entered the official mansion is the latest of several people, but he is also a person who has been running around in the official family for many years, of course he knows how big the disaster is this time, Du Sheng's head hunting is secondary, if the two adults really have any mistakes, it is inevitable that they will be imprisoned.
Cui Mingyu's expression was gloomy, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but at this time, a team of fast horses had rushed out of the village and came to Du Sheng's side in a moment.
A catcher quickly dismounted, and said in front of Du Sheng: "Catch the head, I've seen it all, and there is no abnormality." β
Du Sheng let out a long breath, nodded, and quickly led the horse to the side with the other four officials.
Cui Mingyu looked at Du Sheng, who was deep in thought again, and didn't feel that he said: "He took the two adults to evade the tracking, and left some traces in the sky and the earth, we chased the soldiers on both sides, and hundreds of people scattered to search, how could there be no faith at all!"
Du Sheng relieved himself and looked at Cui Mingyu, and paused before saying: "Time is so urgent, he killed the ironclad cavalry, plundered the two adults, and then laid down a maze, he can't do this, the path will not be wrong, but I am afraid that the brothers who are searching everywhere are not attentive, and they will not be able to detect the traces." β
Cui Mingyu's impatience that swept over his face for a moment faded away in an instant, he knew that such a large search team would inevitably be uneven, and what Du Sheng said was not that they were perfunctory, but that there were at least more than ninety searchers who had no qualifications, and they only used their eyes to see the target for tracking, but this was not something that he and Du Sheng could control, nor could it be perfected by an order, Cui Mingyu's scolding to his lips swallowed back.
Zhao Qianwang's scolding is also subduing, a bloody and exhausting battle makes his soldiers look embarrassed, with endless frustration on their faces, he is also a person who leads the soldiers, and he will not be stupid enough to make the soldiers hateful.
Searching all the way, Zhao Qianwang led a team of elites have searched all the villages along the road, they can't search the distant villages and woods have a large number of search teams to complete, all the way over there is no signal to come, his heart is more and more irritable, like Du Sheng, he also knows that if there is a mistake in this matter, he is also the first scapegoat, so Zhao Qianwang, who was in a gloomy mood, rested under the roadside tree, and muttered and scolded after listening to the report from the nearby village.
It was almost noon, Shen Mad was standing in the courtyard, killing everyone was tired, but he couldn't rest with peace of mind, if Liu Ping'er's injury was replaced by someone else, it was difficult to say whether he could carry it, so Shen Mad could only sit on his own for a while and then come out for a walk, a morning rest, time was already urging them to go on the road.
After washing his face by the well, Shen Yan, who was much sober, let out a long breath, and was stunned for a while, and then slowly walked to the side.
Liu Ping'er opened his eyes and watched Shen Mad come in, he didn't move, a broken wooden board was used as a bed, and his vibration would wake up Chang Yuheng and Mr. Ledger.
Shen Mad walked over, and saw Liu Ping'er looking at him closely, so he whispered: "Ping'er, we should go!"
Liu Ping'er got up slowly, and Shen Mad just made eye contact and walked straight out of the house, the coolness of autumn also faded in the afternoon sun, Liu Ping'er also went to the well platform to put his face, his fatigue was far better than everyone.
Shen Mad and Chang Yuheng packed up their belongings and walked out, and Mr. Bookkeeper also came out, whispering something to Shen Mad .
Maybe it's because the noon sun is really too strong, and washing your face is also contagious, Chang Yuheng and Mr. Bookkeeper both came over to rub their faces, and woke up, Shen Mad had already entered the main house, and after a while, Shen Mad came out with Fluttershy and Cai'er, and the last one who came out was the fat boy who was holding the wound when he just got up, and grinning at the boss lady in pain.
Shen Mad approached Chang Yuheng, who had washed his face, and whispered behind his back to Fluttershy and Cai'er, "Yuheng, you go to the kitchen and throw down some silver, and we'll go on our way." β
Chang Yuheng nodded, before he left, Mr. Bookkeeper had already seen the meaning of Shen Mad's whispering back to others, and lightly tapped Chang Yuheng, and when Chang Yuheng's attention came over, he whispered in front of him: "It's good to throw down two taels, if there are more, he will cause trouble, and if there is less, he will report to the official, just a sum of money that he will not risk talking nonsense, and he will not show off and stop enjoying the wealth." β
Chang Yuheng listened to Mr. Bookkeeper's words, glanced at Mr. Bookkeeper more unconsciously, nodded unconsciously, paused, and then went to the kitchen.
Fluttershy and Cai'er hadn't been in the kitchen, but they looked at each other and looked at Chang Yuheng as they entered the kitchen.
Shen Mad saw the nervous looks of the two girls, and he also thought of the scene in the deserted village yesterday, since the two little girls were worried about their hearts, so they simply let them untie their hearts, Shen Mad smiled and came to Fluttershy and Cai'er, and the two girls also looked at him at the same time, both of them looked like they wanted to say something.
Shen Mad felt the kindness of the two girls, smiled and whispered: "The master's family took the reward money in the morning, and he didn't come back until almost noon, drunk, we didn't go to say goodbye, his family was shabby, Yuheng went to leave him some silver, and it was not in vain to take in our friendship." β
Fluttershy and Cai'er will be suspicious, and the girl's suspicions are difficult to dispel for a while, just as Yu Heng has already left the house, Shen Mad has already said loudly, "Yu Heng, the silver left him?"
Chang Yuheng knew that this matter was carried by Fluttershy and Cai'er, Shen Mad's brainless question made him stunned for a while, looking at Shen Mad's appearance, Chang Yuheng came to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and said as he walked over, "Well, I left it to him, and he accepted it." β
Fluttershy looked at Chang Yuheng who came closer, Chang Yuheng's reaction made her feel uneasy for a while, and there was still a trace of grievance in her heart - she was nervous that this matter was really as they imagined, and it would inevitably expose their whereabouts, Chang Yuheng may have gone in to kill innocents, and she was wronged by the suffering and fear along the way, and Shen Mad and Chang Yuheng, who they regarded as relatives, lied to them.
Perhaps it's the hardships of these days that make it difficult for Fluttershy to suppress her temperament, and Fluttershy looks at Chang Yuheng, and tears begin to roll in her eyes instantly, without looking back, and says, "Cai'er, let's go in and have some hot water, I'm thirsty." β
Cai'er looks at Fluttershy, glances at Chang Yuheng, and follows Fluttershy to the kitchen without looking back.
Shen Mad couldn't bear Fluttershy's ruddy eyes, but Chang Yuheng was filled with mixed feelings by the eyes of the two girls.
Liu Ping'er had silently followed the two girls into the kitchen.
Although Mr. Bookkeeper didn't know what the crux of the problem was, he still woke up Shen Madness softly and said, "Brother Shen, you can go in too, little girl, just coax." β
Shen Yan let out a sigh, nodded, and quickly stepped into the kitchen.
Fluttershy and Rainbow stay there, the broken mat is removed, and the cloth covering the householder's face causes Fluttershy to burst into tears, and Rainbow cries too, as the cloth is only covered when a person dies.
Liu Ping'er walked slowly, his heart was at ease, how could the slightly undulating chest of the head of the household escape Liu Ping'er's eyes.
Liu Ping'er still squatted down and lifted the cloth, the head of the household was sealed in the acupoint, opened his eyes but did not say anything, Liu Ping'er's face changed slightly, at this time he already regretted removing the cloth on the face of the head of the household, and Shen Mad's intentions were in vain.
Liu Ping'er looks at the head of the household, and Fluttershy's kindness keeps him from drawing his sword or stretching out his hand, but he knows that the place they are going is not far away, and they can't leave their whereabouts in anyone's eyes.
Liu Ping'er stares at the head of the household in a dilemma, and even forgets to tell Fluttershy and Cai'er, who are still sad, the news that the head of the household is not dead.
Shen Mad had already entered, he knew it was too late, sighed, slowly walked to Fluttershy's approach, and looked at Fluttershy and whispered, "Uncle Shen is not that kind of person, the closer we get to Enyang, we have to cut off all traces, we can't go in with our tails, I just sealed his acupoints and covered them with a cloth so that he wouldn't betray our whereabouts." β
Still skeptical, Fluttershy stops her tears and looks at Liu Ping'er unconsciously.
Liu Ping'er got up, didn't cover the cloth again, Shen Mad walked over slowly, took the silver that Chang Yuheng left on the side, looked at the head of the household with frightened eyes, and untied the acupoint he had sealed in a moment, and then said softly: "There is silver here, enough for you to live a comfortable life without worrying about eating and drinking for a year, there are some things you must also remember, don't be ostentatious, just eat and drink with peace of mind, don't talk nonsense, forget today, just the same as before, if one of the things is wrong, then the loess buries you, and you will never have to eat in the future, and you can't talk nonsense!"
The head of the household, who was nearly fifty years old and had seen enough of human affairs, nodded in horror, he had never seen such a person with mana who could turn himself into a silent corpse unconsciously.
Shen Mad had already covered his face with the cloth again, and said, "Wait a long time before you can take it off, otherwise I will let you lie down again, and you will never be able to get up." β
The head of the household responded in a trembling voice, not daring to nod again, for fear that the cloth would fall off.
Fluttershy looks at the head of the household with mixed feelings, and blames himself even more when he looks at Shen Mad , but fortunately Shen Mad has come over, he will never blame Fluttershy, and smiles and says to Fluttershy, "Let's go!"
Fluttershy nodded, and Liu Ping'er looked at the head of the household indifferently before pausing before slowly following Shen Mad and the others out of the kitchen.
Shen Mad led everyone out of the yard, and at a glance, there was no half a figure nearby, and everyone went around to the back of the house, got on their horses and walked around.
