Chapter 69: Making a decision after hearing the bad news
The sky was filled with snowflakes again, and after nightfall, Li Yaoguang stepped on the thin snow and entered the boundary of Laowoshan.
Because it was snowing and cold, and there were no entertainment activities in the countryside, everyone went to bed early. The silent villa provided convenience for Li Yaoguang's movements.
Riding a donkey in the wind and snow, he arrived at the small courtyard where his family lived. At this time, the courtyard was quiet and there were no candles in the house.
Li Yaoguang had no intention of staying in Laowoshan for a long time. After all, if Hu Di came to kill him, this remote Laowoshan would no longer be considered remote. It was so close to Kyoto, Hu Di would eventually find out, and it was better to leave early, preferably overnight. Set off.
Li Yaoguang, who just wanted to notify his family as soon as possible and hit the road, stopped moving. The noise he made immediately attracted the attention of Cheng Su, who was awakened in the room.
Cheng Su, who had recently been worried about his niece's condition and who was still awake, thought at first that he was hearing hallucinations. Then he listened carefully and saw that there was really movement outside his courtyard. Cheng Su couldn't help but frown.
Who is this person coming to the door? Could it be a thief? Or is it some bad guy who wants to take advantage of his family?
The head of the village is not a good guy. I have seen it several times. When that bitch comes to the door, his eyes turn green when he looks at his wife. His wife is not a good guy either. She is as fat as a pig and has a pair of eyes. People look at them with their eyes tilted downward, and they wander around everywhere they go. It’s not complete if they don’t walk along the way when they come back home.
If it hadn't been for the fact that the housewife hired by the family was always there when the niece left, and if it hadn't been for the fact that no matter how useless I was, I would still be the master, and there had been no news from the Marquis Mansion recently, I'm afraid this bitch wasn't going to take action!
Is this tonight? Could it be that that bitch couldn't help but want to take action?
At the thought of this, Cheng Su's blood surged in his heart.
If the tiger doesn't show off its power, do you think it's really a sick cat?
Glancing at his wife and children who were sleeping beside him, Cheng Su, who was sleeping on the edge of the kang, carefully got up, quickly wrapped himself in clothes and moved with difficulty to the wheelchair that his niece had given him. He turned around and found the bag hidden under the pillow. He put the hatchet on his lap, rolled the wheelchair out of the back room as quietly as possible, and lurked behind the door.
Cheng Su, who was lurking in the darkness, held a hatchet in his hand and carefully looked through the crack in the door to see what was going on outside. He saw a familiar, thin figure climbing in through the not-so-high fence of his home.
hiss! Is this Sister Guang?
Cheng Su was shocked, put the hatchet he was holding tightly behind him, quickly opened the door and shouted, "Sister Guang, why are you back in the middle of the night?"
Li Yaoguang, who was busy opening the courtyard door and was about to lead her little donkey in, froze. She turned around and saw the person hiding in the shadows inside the open door. Li Yaoguang was also surprised to see that it was her uncle.
"Uncle, why aren't you asleep at this late hour?"
Cheng Su quickly pushed the wheelchair out while still replying.
"I was sleeping, but I didn't worry when I heard the noise and got up to take a look. Sister Guang, you haven't told your uncle yet, why are you here alone so late at night? Why don't you bring a companion? Even if you don't have a companion, how about you? You can rent a car. Do you know that driving at night is dangerous? You are still young and a girl..."
"Oh, uncle, stop reading. I already know it. This is not the time to talk about this. Can you please let me open the door and bring my little donkey in first? If you don't open the door, my stubborn donkey will run away. ! ”
"Chengchengcheng, open the door first."
After hearing what his niece said, Cheng Su stopped thinking and nodded, spreading his hands and letting the little girl do her work first. When Cheng Su brought in the little donkey outside, he couldn't help but laugh. What a little donkey!
"Girl, is this how you came back on a little donkey?"
Li Yaoguang couldn't see the playfulness in his uncle's eyes, but what should he do? It was difficult to get out of the city and she was in a hurry. She had no choice but to nod and spread her hands, "Well, what do you think? My uncle has made it difficult for me along the way."
"How do you say this?"
Hearing what his niece said, Cheng Su looked concerned.
And Li Yaoguang, who traveled south all night, had no intention of hiding it from his relatives.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Su saw that his niece's face became serious and she kept saying shocking words.
"Uncle, it snowed heavily this winter and Hu Di suffered a disaster, so he attacked Dajing with heavy troops to break through our city gates. Your Majesty is weak and incompetent, and the court is afraid of war. In fact, before I returned to the capital, he led his concubines and ministers to escape south in the name of praying to heaven. I went there. I finally got the news and hurried out of the city, but the city was closed. Then I took the risk to visit the government office at night..."
The niece's words made Cheng Su change his mind. Which one of the words was not shocking news, and what kind of things the child had gone through, which one was not full of danger?
Cheng Su couldn't help but look at the person with concern, "Good boy, are you okay? Are you injured? Are you suffering?"
Li Yaoguang shook his head, "That's not true, but I was able to get out of the city smoothly thanks to the help of kind-hearted people. Uncle, the current situation is critical and it is not time to say more. Once Hu Di calls, Laowoshan may seem remote but it is not safe, so we We have to leave, we have to leave immediately, and we have to go south as soon as possible. "After all, they are raising a family, and the only strong laborer is still disabled.
"Yes, yes, yes, we have to go, but Sister Guang, we can't just go like this. It's going to snow heavily today, but it won't fall. We are so small and crippled that we can't walk fast at all. How can we escape? Get through the enemy's cavalry."
"What should we do?"
"Don't worry, let me think of a solution." Cheng Su grimaced, his mind was racing, and after a moment, he quickly said to Li Yaoguang.
"In this way, let's pack up and set off, continue to go east and go south by water. Although the water route is difficult in winter, it is faster than the land route anyway. And since you have informed many friends to escape, there is no guarantee that no one among them will leak the news. , passed from person to person. Sister Guang, everyone has their own selfish interests. Once word spreads, Kyoto will be in chaos. If the situation cannot be controlled by then, in order to protect Kyoto from chaos, Kyoto will open its city gates and people will flock to flee. At that time, the road south will be even more chaotic. It’s hard to walk..."
At this time, Li Yaoguang didn't know that his uncle was very good at guessing things so accurately.
Hearing his uncle say this, Li Yaoguang couldn't help but frown, "In this case, uncle, let's set off immediately and simply pack up the clothes. You ride the little donkey, and my aunt and I will take Yang'er away."
"Shall I ride your little donkey?" Cheng Su couldn't help but look at the little donkey looking east and west in the yard, minding his own business and patrolling the territory. He smiled hoarsely and shook his head: "That doesn't have to be the case, Sister Guang, there are mules in the village. That's the favorite thing of the Zhuangtou family, so you can cover up for your uncle and I'll find a way to get it."
"Uncle, are you going?" Are you kidding?
It's not that she looked down on him, it was just that... Li Yaoguang couldn't help but look at his uncle in a wheelchair and was speechless.
It seems that my wheelchair gave my uncle a lot of confidence!
