Chapter 321 Xu Qingye, You Are Here
The wind is strong on the cliff, and the late autumn wind feels extremely cold on the body.
Song Yuntang, who was already a little weak, shuddered and hugged his arms tightly.
When she approached the area where bandits would patrol, she extinguished the lantern in her hand and threw it into the corner, then tiptoed towards the place where the sack had been taken down before.
Fortunately, it was dark now, and some of the bonfires in the huge courtyard were not burning so vigorously.
In addition, Song Yuntang was petite, and when she went out, she took Ping'an's dark clothes and covered herself with them. She moved along the courtyard wall towards the door without being noticed.
If you happen to encounter a patrol team, you will find a place to hide.
It took her a full half hour to hide and sneak all the way to a dead corner three meters away from the door.
Going further, there were four people guarding the door, and she didn't dare to go any further.
It's not easy to be discovered now because it's dark, but once it's light, she will be easily discovered.
It was already two o'clock in the morning, and there was still some time before dawn. She could take advantage of the patrolmen to knock out the four guards at the door and escape.
Of course, the noise can't be too loud.
Otherwise, if she was discovered by the people on the lookout tower, it would be difficult for her to escape. Fortunately, the people on the lookout tower only observed the unusual movements outside the village and did not pay attention to the situation inside the village.
But it was so dark now that they couldn't see anything in the village unless there was a very loud noise.
She just didn't know what would greet her when she walked out of the gate of the village.
After lying there for about quarter of an hour, Song Yuntang was almost falling asleep when he suddenly heard the gatekeeper not far away yawn.
"I'm so sleepy. I heard that my wife gave birth to a son for the boss. I stayed up all night, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep during the day. The boss will definitely ask us to set up a few tables."
Another person said, "There are brothers watching us up there, why don't we find a place to take a nap?"
"Don't think about it. If nothing goes wrong, it's fine. If something goes wrong, we will inevitably be punished by the boss."
"I suddenly feel a little envious of Ping An. He is probably sleeping with his pretty wife in his arms right now."
After hearing this, several people immediately became interested.
"You know what, even though his wife has been married before, she is one of the most beautiful girls in the whole village. This boy is really lucky."
Seeing the patrolling bandits in the distance turn a corner and walk behind a house, and the four people guarding the door gathered together again, seeing that a good opportunity had come, Song Yuntang threw Ping'an's clothes to the corner and walked forward with a smile.
"Brothers, the village chief is afraid that you may feel sleepy, so he asked me to bring you something."
Those people were discussing Ping'an's young wife, but unexpectedly the real person suddenly appeared in front of them.
“This…you…”
Before he could react, he was drugged in the face.
The four men's eyes turned white and they fell down one after another.
At the same time, in a place that Song Yuntang could not see, several sharp swords cut through the night sky and hit the throats of several bandits on the lookout tower.
Song Yuntang hurriedly walked past a few people and came to the door.
The bolt of the gate is made of a thick and heavy piece of wood. Normally, two men would have to hold one end of the bolt to lift it up and move it away.
Now that Song Yuntang was alone, she couldn't take care of these things.
I just hope she can walk out of this door before the bandits arrive.
As long as we leave the mountain village, maybe we can escape from here under the cover of night.
Since her arms didn't have enough strength, she just used her shoulders to push. Fortunately, the door was not stuck tightly. Although it was a bit heavy, she managed to lift the big piece of wood.
The commotion here finally alarmed the patrolling bandits.
They ran towards this side holding torches.
"Who are you and why are you opening the gate so late at night?"
The bandits were very fast.
Song Yuntang was anxious, but he really didn't have much strength left.
She pushed the side door she had held up off her shoulder with great effort. Ignoring the pain in her shoulder, she used all her strength to open the gate a crack and squeezed out through the crack by leaning sideways.
I thought that after coming out of Funiuzhai, I would have to hide in the mountains and experience another daytime escape, but I saw Xu Qingye holding a torch and leading a group of soldiers walking quickly from not far away.
Seeing the worry in the man's eyes, Song Yuntang didn't know what was going on, and his eyes began to turn red uncontrollably.
"Xu Qingye, you're here."
As she spoke, she quickened her pace and ran towards Xu Qingye. She did not notice the uneven ground under her feet and was suddenly tripped by a stone. She fell forward and almost fell.
"Tang'er!" Xu Qingye took a few steps forward and held her up. "How are you?"
Song Yuntang sniffed.
"I'm fine."
Xu Qingye picked her up horizontally and looked at her aggrieved face. The usually calm and composed man's voice trembled with heartache.
"I'll take you home."
Song Yuntang hugged his neck and asked in a low voice, "What about things here?"
Zhu Deming stood up.
"Don't worry, Miss Song. I'm still here to take care of the matter of Funiu Village. I promise, Miss, that I will give you a satisfactory answer."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"If possible, please, Lord Zhu, spare the lives of the old, young, women and children in the village."
Although Funiu Village is difficult to attack, she has now opened the gate from the inside, and the officers and soldiers have just rushed into Funiu Village. It seems that they should be able to take it this time.
Even so, with more than 200 households in the village, there must be at least several hundred people.
If everyone died because of her, I would feel uneasy after all.
Seeing that she was injured but still caring about the people in the village, and not taking advantage of her misfortune out of selfish motives, Zhu Deming could not help but admire her for her broad-mindedness.
"Don't worry, young lady. Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. If the people in the village have not done anything evil, I will make sure they are properly settled."
Song Yuntang nodded, nestled his head in the crook of Xu Qingye's neck, sniffed the familiar scent on his body, and felt at ease.
"Xu Qingye, I'm sleepy."
The man hummed softly, "Let's go home."
After saying that, he turned and walked down the mountain.
There were many wild animals in the mountains surrounding Funiu Village. To avoid any further accidents, Tu Shi followed closely behind the two men and did not dare to stay too far away from them.
Seeing this, Xu Yongwang hurried to follow.
He didn't know how to ride a horse, and when he arrived, the county government didn't have enough horses, so he borrowed a yamen runner's short-legged horse. The two of them sat on the horse's back and bumped through the mountains all the way, worried all the way, and screamed all the way.
My butt was numb and I almost fell backwards several times.
The key point was that even though the situation was so dangerous, the bailiff still didn't let him hold his waist.
As soon as he touched it, he was pushed away by the other party.
If you touch it again, it will be pushed away.
A grown man is more shy than a woman.
However, he had already remembered where the yamen runner tied the horse. When he returned later, he would ride on the pony and let him ride with others so that he could experience the hardships he had gone through along the way.
…
Song Yuntang no longer cared about what would happen in Funiu Village. After being carried to the horse by Xu Qingye, he fell into a deep sleep on his chest.
When I woke up, I was already in the yard of the county town.
It is a sunny day today. The sunlight shines in through the windowsill. The light is so strong that it makes it difficult to open your eyes.
Unexpectedly, when she woke up, it was almost noon.
Everything else is fine, but my head feels a little heavy, and the place on my forehead where I hit it and bled yesterday still hurts a lot.
I touched my head and found it was bandaged.
"Tang'er is awake." Jiang, who had been paying attention to the movements in the room, came over and helped her up. While looking at her, she asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
Her movements and tone seemed cautious.
As if he was afraid that what he said would bring up Song Yuntang's sad memories.
When Qingye came back in the early morning, he refused to say anything and stayed with her the whole time. He only went to Tang's house after having breakfast.
After all, he had been taken away by the bandits for so long, and some things might have happened.
Song Yuntang shook his head and forced a smile on his pale face.
"Mom, I'm fine. Where's Xu Qingye?"
Jiang poured her a glass of water.
"Qingye brought you back this morning and called a doctor to bandage you. He stayed with you for a while before going to Tang's residence. He should be back soon."
Song Yuntang knew why Jiang was so cautious.
She took the cup of water handed to her by Jiang.
"You don't have to be so careful in front of me, Mom. The thing you're worried about didn't happen. Of course, if you don't believe me, just pretend I didn't say anything."
