Dressed As the Deadly Opponent of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination
Chapter 47: Assassinated in the mountains
Pei Yunxiao and Tang Heng almost jumped up from the stool by coincidence, avoiding two steps back like a ghost, looking at Tranquil Heart with horror, not knowing how things have developed to this point.
They are here to deliver cotton clothes, not here...
What is this called?
Tranquility also suddenly showed guilt, and hurriedly explained to Jiu Po Po, "Jiu Po Po, you have misunderstood. These two sons are here to give things away, and they will rush back soon."
The nine grandmother finally looked over, and those eyes rippled for the first time when they saw the shock on the faces of Pei Yunxiao and Tang Hang.
"It turned out to be a mistake. Lamei, Ling'er, then you should go back." Jiu Po said to the two women.
The two women responded blankly and left with their cotton-padded jackets, leaving only Pei Yunxiao and Tang Hang still in shock.
"Young Master Pei, Young Master Tang, I'll give it to you." Jingxin stood up and relieved.
"Okay, okay!" Pei Yunxiao nodded like smashing garlic. She felt that this Zaozizhuang was depressed from the inside out, and she might be suffocated if she stayed any longer.
The three drove the carriage to the entrance of the village, and no one spoke.
Tranquil Heart didn't speak quietly until it was near the entrance of the village.
"Zaozizhuang, there is another alias called Juehuzhuang."
Pei Yunxiao's footsteps stopped suddenly, and his heart trembled.
She had a hunch that what Tranquility would say next might not be something ordinary people can bear.
"As early as a few years ago, the farmers and fields here were all returned to the Liang family. A year ago, the harvest was not good, and the Liang family's field rents were pressed urgently. Many farmers in the village were even tricked into borrowing from the Wang family. With loan sharks, there is really no way out.
Many young and middle-aged people in the village wanted to resist. They were surrounded by private soldiers from Liang and Wang's family in a cave on the mountain. They set fire to death. "
Pei Yunxiao clenched his fist tightly, closed his eyes, and couldn't bear to listen.
Tingxin's tone became colder and colder and sadder.
"The field was taken away, and the men died, leaving a village alone, widows, old and young, still owed a lifetime debt."
"In the beginning, the two slave slaves of the Liang family took advantage of the dead of night to bully the two 13-year-old twin daughters left by father Qiang in the west of the village. The two girls cast the well, but since then, the situation in the village has changed. It's getting worse."
"Later, I don’t know how long it took. It seemed that everyone lost everything except their lives. Zaozizhuang was forced to pay off debts and finally worked in secret. Some people came and didn’t give money. Said it was put on the debt account. Some people came from outside to keep some money."
"Since then, Zaozizhuang has a well-known name, Nvchang Nvzhizhuang."
With a "clam," Pei Yunxiao's feet became unstable, his shoulder hit the carriage wall, and his body slid to the ground. The pain of □□ is less than one ten thousandth of the heart-wrenching pain in my heart!
Tang Hang, who had been silent all the time, suddenly returned to his senses and leaned over to help her. But until she touched Pei Yunxiao's arm, she realized that she had been crying silently, and the collar on her neck was soaked.
Tang Hang pursed his thin lips, retracted Pei Yunxiao's hand, and slumped to his side.
Tingxin continued to say: "The nine mother-in-law just now is the village chief's widow. Everyone listens to her. I was the one who found me and treats the women in the village every month."
"Two months ago, the little granddaughter of the nine grandmothers had just drunk the abortion medicine I prescribed..."
"Master Pei, Master Tang." Jingxin turned his head and stared at the two of them: "You said, is there really a bright universe in this world, is it clear and blue?"
"But why don't you take a picture of this blue sky, this small village in a remote rural area..."
Tranquility is gone, stepping on a snowy ground. The moonlight poured down on the footprints in the snow, but it reflected the bottomless darkness.
"Brother Xiao?" Tang Heng walked over, wanting to help her.
Pei Yunxiao shook his head lightly, rejected his extended hand, and reluctantly got up while supporting the shaft.
She shouldn't have reacted so fiercely, wanting to pretend to be a flawless man, she shouldn't cry so easily. But she couldn't control herself.
On such a cold winter night, Pei Yunxiao seemed to have a fire in her chest at this time, as if she was about to swallow all her calmness and self-sufficiency.
Those who knew her, like Tang Hang, quickly found a strange look in Pei Yunxiao's eyes.
"Brother Xiao, what do you want to do?"
Tang Hang felt that Pei Yunxiao's heart must be thinking of a shocking plan at this moment.
"It's dark, let's go back." Pei Yunxiao said that he was about to get in the car.
"Brother Xiao!" Tang Hang took a big step and stopped in front of Pei Yunxiao:
"Don't be impulsive! This is not a family business! The Liang family, the Wang family, and even most of Wuzhou City are involved. If you don't deal with it properly, you have three heads and six arms, and you are also a car!"
"So what?" Pei Yunxiao raised his head and asked, "Jiangnan private salt involves 13 prefectures and counties, so I am still fearless! There is only Wuzhou, what am I afraid of?"
The anger accumulated in the whole night dissipated Pei Yunxiao's sanity. She ignored it and blurted out: "Tang Hang, you look back at those women, I don't believe you are indifferent! They are people! They are people with dignity! Why let them? A herd of animals do what they want!"
"You are also from a meager background, and you have been bullied and oppressed. But only because you are a man will you have more outlets and choices. So you can ignore their suffering and grievances, and step on their blood and tears to fulfill your future. ?"
Tang Heng's expression was also angry, with disappointment and pain: "Pei Yunxiao, that's how you see me? Who do you think of me?"
Pei Yunxiao's heart twitched, and a feeling of chagrin came like a tide.
"I'm sorry." Pei Yun calmed down his anger, remorse: "I'm just a momentary righteous indignation."
"I just... I hope you can see this world clearly into your heart! Because only you in this world have the ability to change all of this! For that day, whether it is the Pei clan or the tycoons, even if they are enemies of the world, I will not regret it either!"
"You..." Tang Hang was startled, a little unbelievable: "You actually did it for me?"
"I didn't do it for you!" It was for myself! But she couldn't explain it.
But Tang Hang obviously misunderstood Pei Yunxiao's meaning, his anger faded, and his heart was moved.
He held down Pei Yunxiao's shoulders and stared at her with a deep voice promise: "I promise you, never let it go. Now let's go back to the academy first, and then make plans, okay?"
"……good."
The hazy last quarter moon on the horizon was gradually obscured by dark clouds, and the carriage drove **** the thick snow, and flakes of snow fluttered in the sky like goose feathers, falling on the cheeks, freezing cold.
After getting out of Zaozizhuang, we have to go around a short mountain. The snow is getting bigger and bigger, the cold wind whizzes by, and the vision of the road is getting shorter and shorter. Except for the road in front of the carriage, there is almost no direction to see.
A muffled sound of "creaking" seemed particularly inconspicuous in the dark and snowy night. Afterwards, the carriage slanted quickly and sank into the mud ditch on the mountain road.
The snowflakes flew towards the body one by one, with the biting cold wind, wishing to wrap up the people, swallow them into the abdomen, and disappear without a trace.
"It's too snowy, don't care about the carriage!" Tang Heng jumped out of the carriage and shouted, blocking the swirling snow flakes with his hands, and his voice was blown away by the cold wind.
"Even if we walk back to Wuzhou City, the city gate is closed. We have to go back to Zaozizhuang to avoid this snowy day!"
Pei Yunxiao trembled with cold, wrapped the big cloak tightly, nodded desperately, and responded loudly: "Then go back!"
This is just a vent, and the two of them struggled to move in the snow against the wind. The cold wind rushed into the clothes of the two of them, their eyes were so fascinated by Feixue that they could hardly open their eyes.
"Give me your hand!" Tang Xuan was strong and healthy, with a steady footing. Seeing that Pei Yunxiao was struggling, he was a few steps behind, turned around and stretched out his hand.
Pei Yunxiao did not hesitate and grabbed it.
The cold, hard palm suddenly wrapped her thin fingers, and the slightly rough thin calluses gently scratched the palms of her palms, causing a slight itching, but it gave her countless sense of security.
Tang Hang pulled her, his hands clenched tighter and tighter. Pei Yunxiao gritted his teeth and did not dare to have the slightest slack, for fear of dragging his hind legs.
Suddenly, Pei Yunxiao felt that the arm suddenly released a forceful force, as if to tear her arm from the body.
Her legs deep in the snow were violently brought out by this force, she rose into the air in an instant, and fell into Tang Hang's arms in the next second.
Between the sparks and flints, Pei Yunxiao's scalp numbs, leaving nothing but a blank in his mind.
Before she had time to ask anything, she only heard Tang Hang's voice resounding shortly and eagerly above her head: "Someone!"
As soon as the voice fell, a strong wind brushed Pei Yunxiao’s ears. Accompanied by the sound of sharp weapons cracking into the flesh, Pei Yunxiao saw a short □ directly inserted into Tang Hang’s left arm. Go up, the tail of the arrow is right in front of my eyes, trembling slightly.
"Tang Hang!" Pei Yunxiao said in shock.
"Hurry up!" Tang Hang wrapped his right hand around Pei Yunxiao's waist, showed his footwork, hurriedly ran towards the mountain on the side.
The rocks are rugged and the mountain roads are tortuous. Tang Hang runs in a serpentine route, hiding his figure by relying on the bushes along the road.
Behind them, dozens of "swooshing" flew over the two of them, and there were countless footsteps on the snow, "shasha" like a drumbeat for life.
"Tang Hang, I just want Pei Yunxiao! You put her down, she is dead, you go!" A loud shout came from behind, an unfamiliar voice.
Pei Yunxiao clung to Tang Hang's shoulder subconsciously.
Between life and death, her life depends entirely on the thoughts of the people in front of her.
For many years of friendship, Zhezhou is in trouble, and she trusts Tang Heng.
But she couldn't, let alone dared to hand over the safety of her life to anyone except herself.
Pei Yunxiao's other hand unconsciously grasped the short dagger worn around his waist for many years.
I don't know when, she became like this one who didn't even know herself. She never even trusted Jinnian and others for a moment.
It is not that they will betrayed, but when they can't protect her, she only believes in herself, which is her last line of defense!
Tang Hang seemed to have not heard the shouting behind him. The wound on his left arm was dripping with blood, he gritted his teeth, cold sweat was secreted on his forehead, and his steps did not stop for a moment.
There was no light in the night, and he ran away in a hurry, no longer knowing where he was.
Tang Hang finally exhausted the last bit of strength on his body, stopped abruptly, his feet were soft, and he fell to the ground on one knee.
"Tang Hang!" Pei Yunxiao knelt next to him, holding on to his body.
The chaser behind him did not know where he was thrown, and there was no sound.
"You go first, leave me alone." Tang Heng gave her a push.
"You are dreaming!" Pei Yunxiao yelled back without thinking.
Tang Hang pulled his lips and smiled, as if he had gotten some satisfaction, then he looked cold again, and stood up with his body: "Then I'll go."
He turned around, and just took a step, his body fell down without warning!
Pei Yunxiao has quick eyes and quick hands, and grabs Tang Hang by the collar.
She suddenly realized that the two had stopped on a ridge, but it was too late.
Her strength was far from enough to pull Tang Hang up, and she could only watch the two fall into the darkness along the smooth snow surface.
The snow underneath him was as cold as the bones, and his body was crawling on the ground, slashing downwards.
At this moment, there are only two words left in Pei Yunxiao's mind
To finish!
