Chapter 27 Northern God Capital (2)
The river flowed past the road, and a ball of rag, or a drowned animal, or the dead man who was swollen and could not see clearly.
Everyone along the way closed their eyes. They didn't dare to look at it, but they had already imprinted this scene in their hearts.
This cruel heaven, this miserable world.
The door that could no longer be closed was blown by the wind, and made a silence and squeaking sound. But no one in the room got up to close the door, and just let the breaking door moan in pain in the night wind. The boy in black lowered his head and stared at the face of the girl who had been cleaned for a while, looked at the deputy general beside him with a cold expression, and said word by word: "Diet from a bad disease?"
The deputy general was tall and strong, with dark skin and bulging muscles under his clothes. He seemed to be able to strangle the young man who was asking questions to death, but such a person suddenly knelt in front of the young man.
His head was low and almost hung to the ground.
"I know my mistake!"
Another gust of wind blew in, and the burning fire made a "crackling" sound. Ye Kui, who was sleeping, suddenly frowned, as if she was in pain, and gasped in a low voice, saying, "Xiao Shu... don't be afraid...Xiao Shu..."
Pei Changge stroked Ye Kui's frowning brows with a complicated expression, then turned to face the deputy general who was still kneeling, and said, "Where is the worst part of Hongdu's disaster this time?"
"I heard it is a place called Xining Mountain."
——Xiningshan.
That's it. Pei Changge let out a breath, stood up and walked to the door, pressed his hand against the wooden door. His black clothes almost merged with the night. He suddenly said, "Get up. You really spent a lot of effort to take me back."
"I am afraid!" The deputy general still lowered his head, but he had already stood up as he said, and walked to another young man who bowed his head and said nothing.
Pei Changge's fingers gently knocked on the door panel, calling out the young man who had never spoken, "Autumn Nian, I want to find a carriage to find. I want to take her back to Fengcheng with her."
The young man named Qiunian raised his head, and there was a narrow scar on his left face from the beginning of his eyebrows to the corner of his mouth, which looked particularly ferocious and terrifying under the dark firelight. He said "Yes" and brought his hat to leave.
"Little Marquis, this..."
"Have I ever said that I am not allowed to call me like this?" Pei Changge turned sideways and asked Qiu Nian to go out, then looked at the deputy general and shouted sternly.
The deputy general raised his head, "Major General, the situation is not clear now. How can we take her with us in a hurry to return to the imperial capital? The carriage takes half of the time to move, and we have no time!"
Pei Changge suddenly laughed, with a sarcastic smile on his face like a white jade, "What are you afraid of? I haven't returned, and the old man won't die. Besides, do you think he is really seriously ill? He just wants me to get off the battlefield in advance!"
"…Mr. Marquis is also for your consideration."
"Forget it. Now Hongdu is full of refugees. I can't leave her alone here, so things are settled." Pei Changge smiled and stopped talking.
It is not easy to find a carriage in this world.
But in just one hour, Qiu Nian drove a grey cloth carriage back. The carriage was a little old, but it still looked good. Pei Changge lifted the curtain and saw that there was a clean quilt that was found in it. He patted Qiu Nian on the shoulder and said, "Very good."
Qiu Nian responded faintly, then asked, "Do you set off immediately or wait until dawn?"
They have not had a good rest for a long time in recent days. But time is indeed tense. Even if he doesn't care about the old man's sudden "sickness", he has to rush back. But can Ye Kui follow them on the road? He has a headache and rubs his forehead and says, "Let's go again at dawn."
"No need, you can set off immediately..."
A weak girl suddenly came from behind. Pei Changge turned his head and saw that Ye Kui had already climbed up from the ground and gasped with her holding Zhuzi beside her.
My head is still hurting, my whole body is hurting.
But Ye Kui knew that this was a rare opportunity, and it would never be possible to reach Fengcheng smoothly with her own strength. But with them, everything seemed like a difficult-to-climb "clay" in front of her would turn into a low earth slope.
The burning fire was much dimmed because no one added fire. With the dim light, Ye Kui carefully looked at the three people in front of her. Just as they were talking, she had heard some in a daze. But she had not awakened her consciousness and did not hear clearly.
The boy in black had anger that was familiar to her but familiar to her, and the tears mole under the corner of her eyes was even more unforgettable. Xiaojiu's face, even though she grew up, was still terrifyingly recognizable...
Her initial suspicion was not entirely wrong. The one lying in the Ding family’s grave was not Xiaojiu at all.
"Brother Xiaojiu... are you still alive?" Although he had always had this suspicion in his heart, Ye Kui still deliberately raised this question when he saw someone. She wanted to show her shock and make him feel guilty and would not leave her halfway.
Having not seen him for five years, she didn't know how much he changed and what kind of person he was, so she couldn't take anything lightly.
And Pei Changge thought so. When he was taken away from Taohua Village, he asked someone to go back and pick up Ye Kui and his brothers, but the news came that Ye Kui had died a few days after he went up the mountain, and Ye Shu was missing. He knew that Ye Kui was just looking for a place to settle down, so he wanted to pick them up, but the matter was so unexpected.
In theory, what he should have thought of at that time, since the old man searched him, he would never let him have any interaction with the people he knew when he was wandering outside. It is possible to imagine how credible the deputy general had in the first place. But at that time, he was trapped in a "quagmire" and had no time to take care of himself.
"Where did Xiaoshu go?"
He did not answer his words, but asked Xiao Shu. Ye Kui's heart was shaking, but a melancholy smile appeared on his face, "He is in Fengcheng."
However, the girl of the twelve and three was dressed in rags and her braids were messy. But Pei Changge clearly felt something familiar from her. In other words, they were a friendship that had killed people...
Except for one person asking a question, the two of them did not greet each other again.
Pei Changge frowned at Qiu Nian and said, "Go and prepare some water and dry food. After a stick of incense, we will set off on the road."
He was going back to Fengcheng, and she was going to Fengcheng, so she took the opportunity to be the love that had been resolved. But the deputy general who had been standing aside for a long time obviously didn't think so. After Ye Kui got on the carriage first to rest, he couldn't help but say to Pei Changge: "Major General, I have something to say. What kind of world is it now? She, a little girl, was alone and met you so by chance. How could there be so many coincidences in this world?"
