Chapter Sixty-Eight: Just Hear It
Now that a new exit has been discovered, in order to avoid breaking into Liufu in broad daylight, Wu Zheng still decided to take a closer look.
At this time, Tie Ning also believed that the young man in front of him, who was not favored by himself at the beginning, might really be able to save himself from the sea of suffering.
As long as there is a glimmer of life, who does not have the desire to survive?
So next, Tie Ning obediently let Wu Zheng do it, and tied her tightly to her back with a rope twisted from the water-red curtain that was torn off.
Although he knew that there might not be no danger in the unknown cave in front of him, Wu Zheng didn't dare to leave Tie Ning alone, and then come back to carry her after inquiring, in case Zhu Pozi and housekeeper Liu Jin on the ground woke up, or if someone else came in, Tie Ning would be in danger.
It's just that because the two are of similar height, and the hole on the cave wall is very narrow, Wu Zheng had to tie Tie Ning straight and straight, so that the thin bodies of the two people were tightly stacked together. In this way, the inevitable iron condensation and bulging chest was really squeezed on Wu Zheng's back. Especially when the hot breath exhaled from Tie Ning's mouth and nose sprayed to the roots of his neck and ears, Wu Zheng, who was about to be fourteen years old, inevitably felt a wave in his heart.
Fortunately, both of them are relatively thin, otherwise it would be difficult to get into the narrow hole in the cave wall. Wu Zheng clinged to the solid rock bottom in the passage to prevent him from bumping into the iron condensation on his back, and crawled through the slender passage almost with his hands and feet.
It didn't take long to climb the clothes at the knees to be worn out, and the flesh inevitably oozed blood.
Fortunately, the passage is not too long, and with a little bit of elevation, about a dozen zhang later, Wu Zheng is already standing at an exit with Tie Ning on his back. After stopping and listening carefully to the movement outside, and after making sure it was safe, he reached out and pushed it towards a piece of wood that covered it.
When the plank was pushed away and the dim light came in, Wu Zheng grabbed the edge of the exit with his hands, his arms were forced, and his head gradually poked out to see that it was under a bed again.
Because the body carrying Tie Ning on his back could not be bent at a large angle, Wu Zheng could only retract it first, condensed the iron on his back and held it in his arms, held Tie Ning's soft armpits, and carefully sent it out a little bit before he crawled out of the hole.
Wu Zheng, who finally got out from under the bed, suddenly found that everything in front of him was so familiar?
After a careful inspection, it was the inner courtyard of Zhen's Mansion that was thrown in by Wu Gan the night before, Zhen Yuer's boudoir.
Although there were many questions in his mind, there was no time for Wu Zheng to think about it, and the top priority was to leave as soon as possible.
Bending down again to tie the iron condensation to his back, he quietly opened the door, ignoring the barking of dogs from the front yard, Wu Zheng quickly turned over the west wall of the backyard of the Zhen Mansion.
The reason why I didn't choose to climb over the east wall is because outside the east wall is Silk Lane, and across the alley is the backyard wall of Liufu. In order not to be discovered by the people on the street, or the people of Liufu, Wu Zheng could only choose this side.
The night before yesterday, in order to divert Liu Shiqing, who was chasing after him, he once picked up a black thing at his feet and threw it over the west wall, except for the sound of things being thrown out, Wu Zheng didn't hear any other sounds, especially no human voices from beginning to end, so Wu Zheng judged that outside the west wall of the backyard of Zhen's mansion should be a secluded place where no one sits.
But when he turned it over, he realized that he had made a big mistake.
Although there was no street or a house in front of him, there was a small courtyard surrounded by walls on three sides, and in the middle of the courtyard were a dozen women, large and small, sitting around a well in the middle of the courtyard, washing clothes.
In the face of the teenager who suddenly appeared and carried a young girl on his back, more than a dozen women let out terrifying shouts one after another.
Wu Zheng didn't even have time to see any woman's face clearly, so he quickly raised his feet and ran out.
When he came to the street outside, he had even turned around and ran out more than a dozen paces away to the west, when he vaguely heard a girl's voice shouting:
"Qiu Zheng. ”
Wu Zheng, who was running, suddenly stopped his body and subconsciously shouted:
"Qinglian. ”
There is no doubt that it must be Qinglian, because apart from Qinglian, there are no other girls who know the name Qiu Zheng.
However, in an instant, Wu Zheng raised his feet again and ran wildly.
Now is definitely not the time to meet Qinglian, not only for the iron condensation on his back, if he is discovered by the Liufu or the Shuntian Mansion's fast arresting officials, it will definitely be difficult to survive.
Wu Zheng, who has always entered and exited through the east gate of Shuntian City, had to choose a secluded alley this time and go all the way to the north gate of Shuntian City. Because if you go east, you will have to pass in front of the gate of Liufu. And you have to pass through Suncheon City's busiest Rising Sun Street. And going west, you have to pass in front of the Yamen of the Shuntian Mansion, which will be even more dangerous.
Wu Zheng, who only cares about running wildly with his head down, will naturally attract the surprise of passers-by. However, no one could have imagined that a teenager had just escaped from Liufu and had rescued a girl. Coincidentally, everyone mistakenly thought that the girl on the boy's back might be suffering from a sudden illness, otherwise she would not have been tied to the boy's back, and she would not have come out wearing only a nightdress.
Someone even shouted at Wu Zheng, who was running fast:
"Little brother, turn right on Cuiping Street in front, and there is Lang Zhong in Yangliu Lane. ”
Wu Zheng, who ran to the north gate in one breath, was already out of breath, after all, he hadn't closed his eyes for nearly two days and two nights. Even if the iron condensation on his back is not heavy, Wu Zheng is only less than fourteen years old. If it weren't for practicing Lingyun's footwork and cultivating a wisp of True Qi from it, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on to it a long time ago.
Suncheon City is a palace city, and there are military officials guarding the four gates, and when they saw the young man who was panting and running all the way with a girl on his back, he naturally wanted to interrogate:
"Stop, what are you doing?!"
"Master Jun, my sister is very sick and needs to go to see Langzhong urgently. ”
Wu Zheng, who was gasping, had to stop.
"There are Lang Zhong everywhere in the city, why did you come here?"
"Master Jun doesn't know, my sister's illness is generally invisible, and she must find a martial arts person to treat her. ”
Wu Zheng can only make up nonsense.
"Do you want to go to the Iron Sword Gate for help?"
Since the Iron Sword Gate is in the north of Shuntian City, Wu Zheng can be regarded as crooked.
"Exactly. ”
The soldier turned his head again to look at the iron condensation tied to his back, his face was indeed pale and his breath was weak.
"Go ahead, but, with your strength and another person on your back, how can you hold on to the Iron Sword Gate a hundred miles away?"
"Thank you, Master Jun, thank you. ”
After Wu Zheng thanked him repeatedly, he didn't care about making up any more reasons to answer the other party's doubts, took a step, and walked out of the north city gate with a smoke, until he ran out for nearly five miles, and could no longer see the city gate of Shuntian City, so he turned down the official road and got into the wilderness by the roadside.
It wasn't until Wu Zheng entered the woods on a hillside that he finally put his mind at ease, and before he could untie the iron condensation on his back, he fell to his knees and gasped for breath.
