Having gone into the mountains for hunting many times in the past six months, Han Qing is very familiar with the terrain around Ding'an County.
Therefore, without spending much effort, he found an unowned cave forty miles away from the county seat and hid in it with Dou Rong.
It will be dark at this moment, and it is the lowest temperature of the day.
Worried about catching a cold, Han Qing skillfully found a pile of hay and branches, lit a bonfire, and then sat on both sides of the fire with Dou Rong, using the temperature of the flames to drive away the coldness in their bodies.
The cave is not big, but it has been cleaned up by other hunters, so it is quite clean.
The fire quickly raised the temperature inside the cave and illuminated the cave as brightly as day. For a moment, it actually made people feel a little safer, and soon they fell asleep holding their knees.
However, this is definitely not the time to sleep.
The moment his forehead and knees touched, Han Qing suddenly realized where he was at this moment. He raised his hand decisively and pinched the outside of his thigh, using the stinging pain to force himself to stay awake.
The next moment, he gasped in pain because his fingers exerted too much force, "Hiss——"
Dou Rong, who kept banging his head against his knees like a bug, was immediately startled by the sound of breathing. He tried to open his eyes a little, looked at Han Qing, and asked softly, "Brother Han, what's wrong with you?"
Are there any mosquitoes?”
"No, no!" Seeing that the little girl was so sleepy that she couldn't even lift her head, Han Qing suddenly felt pity in her heart. She smiled and responded in a low voice, "You can sleep for a while, I'll go see Master Zhou.
Book. Lest he wakes up and secretly breaks the rope and escapes."
After saying that, he suddenly realized that he should really pay attention to the situation of the prisoners. He quickly turned his head to the corner of the cave and looked closely at Director Zhou who was tied there.
The latter woke up once on the way, and because he shouted for help, Han Qing punched him and knocked him unconscious.
Therefore, at this moment, the latter's head was swollen like a pig's head, and his whole body was covered with mud. He looked as embarrassed as he was, pitiful, and pitiful.
However, Han Qing did not dare to take it lightly.
More than half a month ago, it was this person who almost forced him into despair!
Five days ago, it was this same person who almost caused him to be shot through the throat by a cold arrow!
Now, the little fat man Li Yuan who took an arrow for him is still lying on the hospital bed, his life or death uncertain. Han Qing himself and Dou Rong are not out of danger yet, how dare he give anyone named Zhou another chance?
?
Waving his hand at Dou Rong, Han Qing walked quickly towards Zhou Chong and turned the latter over with his feet. A flat stone was instantly exposed. The rope tied to the latter's wrist had been worn away.
The hair may be completely worn off at any time.
"Help -" Knowing that his wishful thinking had failed, Zhou Chong did not dare to continue pretending to be unconscious. He screamed and rolled around, staying away from Han Qing.
Immediately, he rubbed against the stone wall of the cave, raised his body up with his elbows, and ran away.
"Bang!" A thick branch with sparks flew down and hit him in the head. Zhou Chong let out a muffled groan and fell on his back.
"Don't..." Han Qing, who was chasing after him, wanted to stop him, but he couldn't stop him in time. He had to reach out to help him to prevent Zhou Chong from hitting the ground on the back of his head and being completely thrown into an idiot.
"I, I didn't have time to find anything else to stop him!" Dou Rong explained breathlessly while holding the still smoking branch, her tired face was full of nervousness.
"It's okay, this guy just fainted again, not dead!" Han Qing couldn't bear to blame Dou Rong for being too harsh, so Han Qing felt Zhou Chong's breathing with the back of her hand and comforted her softly.
After that, he quickly tied up Zhou Chong again and added in a low voice: "Thank you for giving him a hand in time, otherwise, it would be really troublesome if he rushed out of the cave and called for help."
"Yeah!" Although Dou Rong was young, she was quite knowledgeable. Knowing that Han Qing was comforting herself, she blushed and nodded gently.
Han Qing wanted to say a few more words of comfort, but suddenly realized that all the experience he had in coaxing women in his previous life was not only to sign the commission contract, but also to trick the other party into sleeping with her.
No matter which one, if used on Dou Rong, it would be unreasonable. She was stunned and decisively closed her mouth.
The two of them were suddenly speechless. However, neither of them was sleepy anymore, and they could not interrogate the prisoners. They could only face the fire and silently watch the flames jump.
The firelight projected their two figures onto the rock wall. One was slender and strong, the other graceful. They were an indescribably perfect match.
"Brother Han..." I don't know how long it took, but Dou Rong suddenly glanced at Han Qing secretly and called in a low voice.
"Hmm! What's the matter?" Han Qing turned around and asked with a smile, "Are you hungry? Keep an eye on the captives. I'll go out and find a way to trap a hare and roast it back." (Note: In the Song Dynasty, people were not called eldest brother. But in the novel, people are not called eldest brother.
, not so particular. Otherwise, it will take a long time to explain.)
"No! No! I'm not hungry!" Dou Rong's face instantly turned red again, and she shook her head repeatedly, "I, I want, I want..."
Her voice gradually became lower, as low as a gnat. But she quickly gritted her teeth again, tried hard to turn her gaze to Han Qing, looked into his eyes and asked, "Next, next, you, where are you going to go?"
"What's next?" Han Qing was slightly taken aback when asked, and shook his head with a wry smile, "I haven't had time to think about it yet. We have to get Chief Zhou's confession first and explain it to the little fat man and Inspector Li and his wife."
"Are you going to send the confession to the transfer office?" Dou Rong's eyes flickered, like two cold stars in the night sky, "Will they be dealt with impartially? Is there someone who will protect him and blame you for not holding the court hostage?"
Official!"
"Probably not!" Han Qing worked as a divorce counselor in his previous life. Although he had a dark heart, he always relied on the law to act. Therefore, he habitually denied Dou Rong's speculation, "After all, it was this guy who sent the assassin first.
I was also forced to have no choice.”
After saying that, I suddenly felt very unsure. After thinking about it, I continued to add, "If you are really right, then I can only find an explanation for myself. In short, I can't hide anymore and let others know."
He implicates more innocent people!"
The second half of the sentence was filled with deep regret.
Because when he was recuperating in Ziwu Village, he really planned to leave after his body recovered. He would completely stay away from the whirlpool of right and wrong in Ding'an County, and he would no longer care about the fire in the grain and grass depot.
But he never expected that he had hid in Ziwu Village hundreds of miles away, and that County Magistrate Zhang Wei, County Lieutenant Zhou Chong and others would send assassins to hunt him down.
It's as if there is a life-and-death hatred between them.
It seems that the Song Dynasty court had no laws at all.
"It shouldn't be that bad. I'm just worrying. Brother Han, don't be sad. I really don't blame you for what happened to Li Yuan!" Sensing Han Qing's emotional changes keenly, Dou Rong quickly changed her tune.
"He was injured because of me after all!" Han Qing sighed and shook his head slightly.
The two sides immediately stopped talking. They were each in a daze facing the flames.
After all, he was an adult. Han Qing knew what was more important at the moment. Soon, he put aside worries about the future. He stood up with a smile and whispered, "Look at Zhou. If he wakes up,
If he dares to move around after that, hit him on the back of the neck with a stick. Don't worry, you won't be able to kill him easily with your strength!"
After that, he explained in a low voice, "While it's still dark, I'll go out and get some nooses. Hare likes to forage before the sun comes up. If we're lucky enough to get a yellow sheep, we'll have enough dry food for the return trip.
Completely solved!”
"No!" Dou Rong, who had always been bold, suddenly grabbed his sleeve, her eyes full of reluctance.
"It's okay, I won't go too far. The beast is afraid of fire, so it won't dare to come in!" Han Qing touched the other person's head lovingly, and smiled to comfort him, as if the other person was his biological sister.
"Brother Han -" Dou Rong's face instantly turned red and was almost bleeding. But she tried to raise her head and looked into Han Qing's eyes again, "Wait, after you get justice, where are you going? Still, still.
Are you going back to Ding'an County as a patrol inspector?"
"Probably not!" Han Qing bent down and explained with a smile, "I want to travel around. Maybe I won't be an official anymore. Besides, I don't know whether it will be so easy to get justice back."
These are his true words.
Although in my two lifetimes combined, I have only been promoted to the rank of Ninth Grade Sesame Official once.
Although he was in the position of the ninth-grade sesame official, he was doing well and making a lot of extra money.
However, he was extremely disappointed with the officialdom of the Song Dynasty.
He didn't want to waste his second life on scheming with people like Zhang Wei and Zhou Chong. He also didn't want to become a thorn in others' eyes in a confused way.
Therefore, it is the best choice for him to look around and become a wandering cloud and wild crane!
However, when his words fell in Dou Rong's ears, they had a completely different meaning.
"Brother Han!" The girl suddenly became extremely brave. She pulled his sleeves, stood up, raised her head, and faced him face to face. Two flames seemed to be dancing in her bright eyes, "Take me with you, okay?
?No matter where you go, take me with you, okay! I, I will go with you, and I will never leave you in this life, sharing weal and woe!"
