There is a fork in front. Rong Yuan remembers that after passing the fork, there is a relatively intact house. There is a sandwich room there, embedded in the wall, which is very hidden and cannot be found by ordinary people. A squire used to live there, and he was moved from the beam during the earthquake.
The tiles that fell down hit him on the head and killed him.
After turning the fork, Rong Yuan couldn't help but carry Ling Ruo on his back, and then ran towards the house with his last strength. Ling Ruo had blood on her feet. If she was allowed to walk past like this, she would definitely be killed by that person.
Discover.
"I can walk by myself." Ling Ruo said, lying on Rong Yuan's back. Although her feet were burning with pain, she knew that Rong Yuan would never be any better than her.
"Don't make a sound!" Rong Yuan scolded lightly. He closed the door before catching up. Then he ran to open the door to the backyard without stopping, creating the illusion of escaping from the backyard, and then went to the place in his memory.
After entering the secret room, he took a deep breath and carefully placed Ling Ruo on the ground.
"Don't worry, he doesn't know there is a secret room here. He will just think that we escaped through the back door." Just now I had been running and I didn't feel anything. Now when I relaxed, I just felt sore all over and wished I could lie down on the ground and have a good sleep.
There was no daylight in the secret room, but there was a luminous pearl embedded on the top, which emitted a soft light in the darkness, preventing the two of them from being unable to see.
Not long after the door of the secret room was closed, there was a heavy sound of footsteps outside. They lingered in the room for a long time before leaving. I guess they didn't find out here that they were chasing Rong Yuan and the others elsewhere.
After the footsteps were far away, the two people, who had been holding their breath to pay attention to the noise outside, slowly let go of their hearts hanging in the air, finally feeling safe for the time being.
"Let's stay here for a while and wait for those people to evacuate before going out." Although he saved his life temporarily, Rong Yuan's heart was extremely heavy. When they came out of the secret room, there would definitely be no more people in Tongzhou City.
A living person.
The court's decision was too bloody and cruel. No matter what, it was hundreds of lives. They would be killed at will without any leeway.
Besides, Yinzhen clearly knew what happened to Ling Ruo here, so why didn't he tell the soldiers that they knew, but instead let them come here to kill indiscriminately? Could it be that Yinzhen wanted to kill Ling Ruo at all?
If this were really the case, how would Ling Ruo feel in her heart...
Rong Yuan sighed in his heart, Ling Ruo must have thought of this too, so she didn't say a word after entering the secret room.
"Let me see your feet." He took off Ling Ruo's blood-soaked socks, and saw that those delicate feet had many cuts, and there were also many gravels embedded in the soles.
In addition, the ankle of her right foot was swollen very high. Fortunately, there was no problem with the foot bone. It was probably just a sprain. Thinking about it, her feet were in excruciating pain every time she took a step. I don’t know how she could endure the whole journey just now.
There was no medicine to treat the wound, not even water. Rong Yuan could only remove the gravel from her wound, then tore off the hem of his clothes and tied the wound for her, "This is the only way now.
We'll find a way to deal with it after we get out." After glancing at Ling Ruo, who had been silent, he sighed: "You really shouldn't be here."
Ling Ruo raised his head, his lower lip turned white from her bite. After a while, he said in a harsh voice: "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that he was so cruel and heartless."
Even though he was suspicious of her, after all, they had been married for nineteen years and yet they completely ignored her life and showed no affection for her. Could it be that all the tender affection they had had was an illusion?
Rong Yuan wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only respond in silence. Although the secret room was safe, there was no water or food. It didn't matter if he took shelter occasionally. If he stayed there for a long time, he would starve to death.
Therefore, after staying for most of the day to regain some physical strength, Rong Yuan figured that it was time for the people outside to leave, so he and Ling Ruo carefully came out of the secret room.
There was no distinction between day and night in the secret room. When he came out, he realized it was night. Whether it was true or psychological, Rong Yuan always felt that the air was filled with the lingering smell of blood.
In the distance, the cry of a night owl came, which seemed particularly sad in this dark night. Although Ling Ruo's right foot did not hurt any bones, it was still very serious. If he continued running, the foot would probably become useless, so Ling Ruo
He carried her on his back and quietly walked to the backyard. It was so quiet here, so those sergeants must have left after killing everyone. As long as they escaped from Tongzhou City, they would have hope of survival.
There were no stars or moon visible in the dark night sky, and there was not even a trace of fire in the huge Tongzhou City. This place had completely turned into a dead city, with the stench of corpses and a belly of blood, that was everything here.
Rong Yuan found the back door based on the route in his memory. It was strange that the door was closed. Could it be that the person who was chasing them had closed it conveniently?
Rong Yuan felt something was wrong, but before he could figure it out, as soon as he opened the back door, he found a spark suddenly lit up in front of his eyes, and then the fire became brighter. The dazzling light made Rong Yuan and Ling Ruo, who was lying on his back, subconsciously close their eyes.
After they got used to the outstanding light, they discovered that there were many torches burning in front of them. The light was emitted from these torches. Behind the firelight, several figures could be vaguely seen standing. Because they stood so high
The location is backlit, so you can’t see
"Boss's calculation is indeed correct. This couple is hiding in the house. Hurry, go and ask the boss to come over!" Hearing this voice, Rong Yuan thought to himself, "This is obviously the same group of sergeants during the day. They didn't leave, and they didn't leave."
Still waiting for me here.
As soon as Rong Yuan took a step back, two people immediately blocked his retreat. After a stalemate for a while, a group of people came over. The leader was General Scar, who came over on horseback. It was Ling Ruo.
The one I rode on before.
He spat out the reed pole in his mouth with a "poof" and jumped off the horse. The scar on his face looked particularly hideous under the dancing firelight. "You two want to escape from my grasp. You are really wishful thinking!"
Rong Yuan and Ling Ruo both complained secretly in their hearts. This time they were surrounded by so many people but there was no way for them to escape. What should they do? What should they do?
"Boss, why are you talking nonsense to them? Just kill them." A man who came with General Scar drew his sword and shouted. It's strange that when they faced General Scar, they didn't call him a general, but instead spoke one by one.
Boss.
General Scar was not moved by his words, but ordered everyone to step back a few feet. When only the three of them were left nearby, he sneered and pulled out the blood-stained steel knife from his waist, "Okay, after playing for so long,
It’s time to end this.”
"You can't kill her, she is indeed Concubine Xi in the palace." Rong Yuan stared nervously at the fatal knife.
"I know." General Scar's answer was beyond Rong Yuan's expectations. When he heard this before, he still had a look of disbelief, but now he actually said that he knew what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd?
