Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2129
He was crying secretly, but when he heard a crash behind the other party, the man suddenly slipped and fell to the ground with a cry of "ah!"
Without any hesitation, Yi Haoran took a step forward and stabbed with his sword, but he didn't expect to step on something round and round, he couldn't stand firmly, and he fell firmly, and the sword fell out of his hand.There was only a dying groan in my ear.

This fall made him look sick, his eyes turned black, he was anxious, and he struggled to get up without caring about the dizziness and pain.

But he saw that the woman had already picked up the saber he had thrown away, clasped her hands tightly, and pointed directly at his chest.

The man's head was tilted to one side, his head was covered with blood, and beside him was a heavy Tie Ruyi.It was covered in blood.

Yi Haoran didn't dare to act rashly, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person!"

The woman's face was full of tears, she shook her head with difficulty and said: "I don't care if you are a good person or a bad person..." After saying that, she stabbed with a sharp sword.

Yi Haoran hurriedly turned sideways, but he didn't expect to step on something and slipped again. This time he was prepared, and he grabbed the pillar under the eaves without falling.Seeing the woman staggering unsteadily in a stab, she immediately turned her hand over and twisted her wrist, and with a little force, the saber fell to the ground with a jingle.Yi Haoran was afraid that the woman would yell, so he quickly said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid! I'm really not a villain!"

However, the woman's body softened and she passed out.

Yi Haoran quickly supported the woman, dragged her into the main room, and put her on a chair.

He listened attentively, only to hear the silence outside, except for the occasional barking of dogs.The heart is dark.He was afraid that there were the man's accomplices in the house, so he hurried back to the eaves, took back the saber, and tried the man's breath again, but he died.

He got involved in a life lawsuit for no reason!Let him a little at a loss.Unexpectedly, although human life is not as good as a dog in troubled times, after all, a person is dead, how should he deal with it at dawn?

In the distance, I heard the sound of clappers beating the watch, and it was already three o'clock in the middle of the night.As soon as the fourth watch strikes, the people who do the morning market will get up and prepare to make a living, and people will gradually appear in the market.Walking around the streets with this appearance, I would be caught by patrolling thieves in no time.

I can only hide here!The day is over.

Thinking of this, he turned back.He pinched a few times in the woman's crowd.The woman woke up slowly, and when she saw him, she looked terrified again, bowed her head and shrank her body, saying: "What do you want?"

Under the faint light, the woman's complexion was pale, her hair was disheveled, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth—the so-called human is not human, ghost is not ghost.People in troubled times are as cheap as dirt, thinking of what happened to this little girl, Yi Haoran couldn't help sighing, bowed, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, don't panic, the student is also a troubled person—the thief entered the city, arrested The officials of the Ming Dynasty, General Zuo, I was originally in Xiong Du's tent and came here when I had nowhere to go. I just ask my sister-in-law to allow me to hide here for a day, and I will leave when it gets dark tomorrow."

What he said was earnest, and he spoke like a serious scribe, which really made the woman's expression relax a bit.She turned her head, looked him up and down by the oil lamp, the expression on her face relaxed a bit, and asked, "Are you... an official?"

"Students are not officials, they are the staff of Governor Xiong's tent - the master of Governor Xiong." Yi Haoran was afraid that she would not understand, so he explained.

The woman nodded, looked at him a few more times, and suddenly asked: "A few days ago, did the master have a fight with ** near here?"

Yi Haoran was taken aback: At that time, he was trying to rescue Chang Qingyun who was attacked by rebels, and indeed he had clashed with wolf soldiers near here.

"It's true." Yi Haoran nodded and said, "At that time, the students were ordered to patrol the city, and when they saw Master Chang trapped by rebels, they rushed to rescue him."

"The Master Chang you are talking about is a middle-aged scribe in his early forties with a wisp of beard? He was still riding a horse that day, with eight or nine soldiers."

"It's him. Master Chang Qingyun, we are all in Xiongdu's tent."

"It turns out his surname is Chang." The woman murmured.

Yi Haoran's expression when he saw her probably had some relationship with Chang Qingyun.This calmed his mind a lot.

"Master Chang has kindness to his servants." The woman said.

Yi Haoran nodded: "I see."

"That day when Wuzhou was trapped, my slave's family had something to do, so I hurried home to have a look, but on the way my husband was killed by the rebels..." At this point, I was on the verge of weeping, and I continued after a while, "The thieves still want to rape and humiliate the slave family in the street. Thanks to Master Chang who led the soldiers to patrol the past, they kept their innocence... At that time, the slave family was still obsessed with asking Master Chang to take revenge for the husband--I didn't expect that he would not be able to protect himself. Fortunately, There is a master coming to rescue."

"Where is there. We are together in Xiongdu's tent. He is in danger, how can I just ignore it?" Yi Haoran unconsciously respected Chang Qingyun, he never thought that he would have such a righteous deed!
"I don't know if Master Chang is safe if he is here first?"

"Last night I saw him leave the city with the refugees, and I don't know how he will live or die—but the gangsters are never bloodthirsty, even if they are captured, they will only suffer humiliation and use them as strength, and their lives will always be safe."

"That's good, that's good." The woman clasped her hands together and recited a few Buddha's mantras.

The two talked a few more words, Yi Haoran knew that this woman's maiden name was Jiang, and her nickname was Qiuchan. Her maiden's family opened a silk cloth shop on Ximen Street, her husband's family was from Teng County, and they collected some land for rent.After she got married, she gave birth to a son. Her husband was admitted as a scholar and entered a government school. The couple moved to Wuzhou with their son, bought a house in the city and lived happily.

I never thought that such a catastrophe would come from heaven!
Chang Qingyun could save her momentary innocence, but could not save her life.Yesterday the city was broken, and the rebels scattered and fled.A guest soldier jumped over the wall in desperation, and no one could save her this time.

"...The Nu family originally wanted to reject each other with death. I never thought that this thief would arrest the son of the Nu family and threaten him..." At this point, Qiu Chan could hardly continue.

Yi Haoran nodded and said: "You don't have to blame yourself too much. Although it is out of integrity, firstly, it is being raped by others, and secondly, it is also for prolonging the heir, the fault is not your fault."

Qiu Chan nodded silently, probably still hadn't recovered from the question of "out of integrity".

Yi Haoran said: "It's just the corpse outside..."

This reminded Qiu Chan immediately, and she jumped up in shock: "God! This... this... what can I do?!"

"Is there a cellar pond in this courtyard? Let's bury the corpse first."

"There are no ponds in the cellar, but there is a dry well in the backyard..."

"Let's go clean it up." Yi Haoran said, "It will be a disaster if someone finds out at dawn."

"Yes, yes, what the master said is true." Qiu Chan has completely lost her backbone at this time, and has subconsciously regarded him as her reliance.

The two of them worked together, first wrapped the corpse of the rebel with broken reed mat ropes and tied them up, and then moved them all the way to the backyard.

When cleaning up the corpses, I found out that the "crash" sound was soybeans. Qiuchan spilled half a bucket of soybeans on the ground, and then took advantage of the moment when the soldiers slipped and fell, they smashed the soldiers with an iron Ruyi that was used as a paperweight in the main room. head.

Yi Haoran couldn't help admiring this witty and instant outburst of ruthlessness—it's not an ordinary woman!
The dead body was very heavy, and Qiu Chan was weak and her feet were bound, so she couldn't help much.Yi Haoran dragged the corpse to the backyard with difficulty.

There is a small vegetable garden and a thatched pavilion in the backyard. It seems that Qiu Chan's deceased husband is a very leisurely and interesting person. During the Taiping Festival, he still drinks wine and tea here, enjoys the flowers and the moon... the war together , not only died, but even his wife and son were tortured... It's really unpredictable...

"This is the dry well." Qiu Chan brushed away the grass by the wall, and there was a wooden board on the ground. Yi Haoran moved the wooden board away, and a foul smell of water came to his nostrils.He looked around and saw that the dry well was quite deep, and it should be fine to leave it for ten and a half months.Immediately pushed the corpse down, and covered the wellhead with wooden planks again.A layer of floating soil was covered on top to prevent the rancid smell from leaking out.

After discarding the corpse, the two of them used the porch to clean up the blood, and when all the traces were cleaned up, they were already screaming.The two of them tossed and tossed for half a night, and their muscles were already numb.Yi Haoran said: "If you keep the gate with me, wait for me to climb over the wall and go out and remove the padlock on the door - if the lock is hung, it will cause trouble."

A padlock on the door will make people think that there is no one at home, and it will attract bad guys to peep.

"It's easy to open the lock. I just opened the back door and walked around. But once the lock is unlocked, so what if the thief comes..."

"The Kun thieves never disturb the people. It's just that after the Kun thieves break through the city, they will definitely come to check the household registration. It doesn't matter as long as you deal with it carefully, little lady." Yi Haoran said, "It's just that the students have to hide in the backyard for a day."

Qiu Chan nodded slightly, bit her lips and thought for a moment, and said decisively: "Mr. Yi, it is not an option for you to hide like this. If you are discovered by the thieves, you will not be able to explain clearly. From the perspective of the slave family, you might as well be counted as the slave's husband's family." Cousin, I was stuck in the city when I went to the city on business——rest here for the time being."

Yi Haoran thought about it, Qiu Chan was right.Her husband's family is from Teng County, and the Wuzhou locals naturally don't know what relatives her husband's family has, so it's easy to fool her by pretending to be "cousin".

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Xiong Wencan's shogunate to move to Wuzhou. Because of his military training in Teng County, his time in Wuzhou was even shorter, and very few people in the city knew him.As long as you don't meet people who have worked with you, it's not difficult to hide.

"Okay, it's up to you." Yi Haoran bowed to the end, "Thank you, sister-in-law Qiuchan!"

"Don't thank you, we are all people in trouble," Qiu Chan sighed, "It's just that the name has to be changed."

"Yes, yes, the student understands."

Now Yi Haoran changed his name to "Hao Ran", and his identity was Jiang Qiuchan's natal uncle.When I was young, I went out to study and travel, and only recently returned to my hometown.This time I was trapped in Wuzhou on business, so I had to vote for my cousin's niece.Yi Haoran has trained troops in Teng County for many days, he knows a thing or two about Teng County's geographical environment and humanities, so he can be fooled to some extent.Because he is a "younger x little Lixiang boss back", there is an excuse for him not being able to speak Tengxian dialect.
