I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 98 Firearms
The footsteps outside the hut also suddenly stopped.

Wan Jinlan grasped the iron chain tightly, and waited with a solemn face.

An old voice came.

"Who is in my house?"

Xiao Feng picked up the wet robe, gave Wan Jinlan a reassuring look, and then walked out.

The long knife in his hand was tightly attached to the side of his leg.

"My wife and I were injured by thieves, and we found refuge here in the cold night. If the master is willing to take me in, I will pay you. If not, my husband and I will leave immediately."

Xiao Feng couldn't see what the old man opposite was holding in his hand, and his intuition told him that it was a dangerous weapon.

Lu Yuan was silent for a while and then said, "Leave immediately after dawn."

Seeing the old man turn around and leave, Xiao Feng felt ashamed to relax, "It's cold and the night is cold, does the master have other places to go?"

Lu Yuan ignored him, and walked towards the mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Xiao Feng frowned, turned around and went back to the cottage.

Wan Jinlan had already put on all her wet clothes, ready to leave at any time.

Xiao Feng said: "It's fine for the time being. I'll fetch water and treat the wound well. It will probably be dawn in two hours, so I'll leave before dawn."

Wan Jinlan took off her wet clothes again, and whispered, "What he said just now is standard official language."

This man's official dialect is very standard.

Moreover, why did he directly give up the thatched cottage to the two?

The two of them can't pursue so much, the most important thing now is to recover their physical strength as soon as possible and avoid the next chase.

If the news is sent back to Kyoto, their situation will become more and more difficult in the future.

Xiao Feng carried the wooden barrel and walked for nearly a stick of incense before finding a ditch. When he carried the water back, his body was almost frozen.

Wan Jinlan dumped all the items in the burden on the stone bed by the light of the fire, and the gold sore medicine was sealed, but it was still usable.

The robes in winter became extremely thick after being wet, and it was impossible to dry them in just two hours.

The two were obviously exhausted, but they had to give each other medicine, dry their clothes, and finally drink the boiled hot water that was not clean.

Wan Jinlan only held on to the clothes the two were wearing inside to roast, and simply threw the blood-stained outer robe into the brazier.

By the light of the fire, Wan Jinlan found the brown rice in the rice jar, and put it into the ceramic crock to cook the aroma of the food.

This was the first hot meal the two had eaten since their exile.

After eating the brown rice porridge in the earthen pot, the two of them put on their thin clothes. Wan Jinlan left 20 taels of silver in the bedding on the stone bed, and they could be seen as soon as they were lifted.

It was still dark, but the two of them didn't intend to stay here any longer.

Seeing that her clothes were too thin, Xiao Feng's complexion turned pale, so he simply took off another layer of his clothes.

During this journey, the conditions on the road were not good, and Wan Jinlan could feel that Xiao Feng was doing his best to take care of her.

When Wan Jinlan was about to refuse, she pointed to the top of the thatched shed, "Is that the animal skin hanging there?"

Xiao Feng looked back and looked up, then reached out to touch it, it was true.

When he took off the animal skin, a black and heavy object fell to the ground.

The embers in the brazier illuminated the whole thing.

Wan Jinlan asked hesitantly: "Is this a jerk? Why is it different from a jerk?"

Xiao Feng remembered the thing that the old man was holding in his outer hand before, held it in his hand, and did not press it down to test the power of this thing for a long time.

There was fire beating in Wan Jinlan's eyes.

Xiao Feng put the things into the back mattress, together with Sui Yin.

There were three wolf skins in total. Xiao Feng cut through the wolf skins with a long knife, and the last two were wrapped in a dishonorable way, like wild men living in the mountains.

Cleaning up all traces, the two had a tacit understanding, and took advantage of the night to leave the thatched cottage and enter the mountain.

The blisters on his feet were popped, and wearing wet moccasin boots, walking was still unbearable. Although the wounds on his body had been treated, the pain was more obvious than before.

Wan Jinlan didn't sleep all night, but after less than two hours of recuperation, Wan Jinlan felt top-heavy and dazed, and the cold in her bones had not been dispelled, causing many fine bumps to appear on her body.

The two of them didn't intend to leave. It would always make people curious that something that looked like a robot appeared in this kind of barren mountains.

The sky was getting brighter, and the two of them snuggled up against the leeward in the cold wind to keep warm. Xiao Feng touched her forehead, frowning, "You have a fever."

Looking around, the outline of the terrain here is gradually becoming clearer.

From the halfway up the mountain, you can see a village under the lofty mountain. At this time, some people's cooking smoke has risen.There is a long distance between the thatched cottage where the two lived last night and the village.

The two had no past to prove their identities and could not enter the city. Xiao Feng was worried that if Wan Jinlan's body did not take a good rest and treatment, something serious would happen.

If there is no other way, he can only go to the village to find a doctor.

When Xiao Feng stood up, he was grabbed by Wan Jinlan, "He's gone back."

Looking over from here, I saw an old man in gray entering the thatched cottage.

After a while, the old man came out of the house again, with a little luggage on his back, and walked towards the mountain with his head down.

Wan Jinlan felt that this old man was very mysterious.

The old man's footsteps were not fast, and the two fell far behind him.

After following the mountain for a mile, the old man stopped suddenly.

When Wan Jinlan thought the two were exposed, eight people dressed as ordinary farmers appeared in front of them, seven men and one woman. Although the woman was dressed as a peasant woman, she could tell from her figure and temperament that she was not an ordinary country woman.

"Second Uncle, if you want to leave, we won't stop you, but is it too much for you to bring outsiders?"

The woman's voice reached Wan Jinlan and Xiao Feng's ears. They looked at each other, but didn't intend to go out.

The current distance, escape, is just right.

Although the old man Lu Yuan was somewhat stooped, his words were firm.

He only heard him snort coldly, "Get out of the way, for the sake of being of the same clan, I might spare your lives."

The eight people seemed to be very afraid of what Lu Yuan was holding, and they all stepped aside unwillingly.

However, things did not go as smoothly as Lu Yuan expected, and there were many people blocking the way in the dense forest ahead.

The old man Lu Yuan looked very calm, turned his head and looked sharply in the direction of Wan Jinlan and Xiao Feng, "If you two help me get out of trouble today, I can give you what I have in my hands."

Under the eyes of the two, Lu Yuan shot at the person who attacked him.

"bang"

The loud noise scattered the birds in the forest.

The man clutched his chest and fell to the ground in an instant, and black blood flowed from the smoking place.

"It didn't explode."

The eight people were very surprised, and felt that Old Man Lu's talent in equipment was really enviable.

"Give it to me, the compensation will be doubled if you die." The woman's voice was fierce.

Several people wanted to see how many times the thing in Old Man Lu's hands would explode before it exploded.

Wan Jinlan and Xiao Feng looked at each other, needless to say the surprise in their hearts, they had never seen such a huge lethal robot, no, it is not appropriate to call it a robot now, it should be a firearm.
