Hu Tong's premonition was very accurate. In the next few days, even though the eyes of the officers and soldiers were bulging out, they still could not find the man. The town of Zhengzhai was deserted, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers dug deep into the ground to find him.
They went through the secret passage, but still couldn't find the figure, so they had to let the Zheng family go.
Several large ships carrying the Zheng family slowly left the dock. The Zheng family suddenly saw a raging fire burning in the direction of Zhengzhai Town. The flames soared into the sky, making the night as bright as day.
It turned out that in desperation, the army set fire to Zhengzhai Town...
Although these days, they have accepted the fate of being exiled overseas, when the fire broke out, some people still couldn't help crying, and then it quickly spread, causing everyone on the boat to burst into tears together, and the cry was heard all over the river...
…
The first family in the south of the Yangtze River paid a terrible price for upholding the word loyalty. What they didn't know was that compared to the disaster they were about to suffer, the destruction of their former residence was nothing.
That night, Wang Xian stood by the river. The cold night wind made him feel cold both physically and mentally. Because he realized that what happened to the Zheng family was not only a tragedy for their family, but also a tragedy for the entire Ming Dynasty and the entire Chinese nation.
…
This night, justice lies in the dust dripping with blood, power laughs in the air, and the most precious human heart of the empire dies in the prime of life...
It is time to cry while singing, but life still has to go on. As a young man, he still bears the responsibility of making his family happy, so he cannot think too much, cannot think too carefully, be short-sighted, and pursue vulgarity, so that he can live a more comfortable life...
Fortunately, all his friends are still safe. Wang Xian is going to return to the military camp and get drunk with Wu Wei and the others who escaped from death. The sun will rise tomorrow as usual, and it will be another beautiful day...
When he was about to turn around, he suddenly stopped and saw a woman in white clothes and plain skirt standing on the opposite bank of the river. She stood alone and shadowed. In the cold moonlight and the sad cry, that thin figure was
That's heartbreaking...
Upon closer inspection, Wang Xian found that the woman looked familiar. When he was about to ask, he saw her leap into the Puyang River...
Without thinking, Wang Xian took off his cloak and jumped into the water. The world was already cold enough, and he could only feel some warmth by warming his heart.
Seeing him jumping into the cold and fast water, Ling Xiao who was following him stamped her feet anxiously. This little girl with superb martial arts knew everything but couldn't swim. She quickly shouted for help, but it was a bit far away from the military camp.
The cries of the Zheng family members covered up her voice, and no one responded at all.
Lingxiao was spinning around like ants on a hot pot. In desperation, he took off his deerskin boots, jumped into the water and walked into the river, hoping to fish for someone... Fortunately, he saw the middle of the river as soon as he waded into waist-deep water.
A head popped up, and then Wang Xian's upper body jumped out of the water, breathing heavily. The woman in a white dress was still holding on to his arms. The woman was motionless, and she must have fainted...
Watching him emerge from the water, Lingxiao remembered to wipe away her tears, grinning and crying: "Smelly little Xianzi, you scared me to death, wuwu..."
Wang Xian couldn't care about her, and spent a lot of effort to pull the woman to swim to the river, and then with the help of Ling Xiao, he landed ashore. Ling Xiao was basically soaked, and he sat aside in anger.
, waiting for Xiao Xianzi to comfort him. Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Xianzi took a breath, he jumped up, held the woman on his knees, and started stroking her back...
Ling Xiao was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Brother Xiaoxian, whom he respected the most, could be such a pervert.
Frightened, he pressed his hands on the woman's pert breasts again, pressing hard again and again. Lingxiao heard the sound of the idol breaking and stared blankly for a while, until the pervert became more aggressive and wanted to lean over and kiss the unconscious woman.
The spirit of the woman in the middle finally bursts out:
"Xiao Xianzi, you stinky gangster, pretend I don't exist."
"Ouch..." Wang Xian received a heavy blow on his head. He was caught off guard, and half of his body was pressed against the woman's soft and delicate body, and his teeth were knocked together.
"Are you crazy?" Wang Xian touched his mouth, which was covered with blood, and stared at Lingxiao angrily: "I am saving people."
"Nonsense" Ling Xiao didn't believe it, so he pulled him away from the woman and said: "You are obviously molesting others."
"This is called artificial respiration," Wang Xian said frantically: "She stopped breathing because she was drowning. I have to help her regain her breath quickly, otherwise she will suffocate to death."
Seeing Wang Xian in such a hurry, Ling Xiao felt that she might have blamed him wrongly, and looked at him sideways and said, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Wang Xianbai glanced at the violent girl, then took a deep breath, pinched the woman's small nose with one hand, pressed his two hot lips tightly against the woman's cold lips, blew the air in hard, and then stood up.
He let go of her nose, pressed the woman's towering chest with one hand, and explained: "That's when you are breathing, this is pressing the chest."
The little girl Lingxiao's eyes widened. She was basically sure that Wang Xian was indeed rescuing people, because his movements were fast and regular, and he repeated them several times within a few breaths. If he was playing rogue, he would not be so hasty.
.
Only then did she realize that there was such a rogue way to save people in the world. She couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "If I would rather die than be abused like this..."
Wang Xian was too lazy to pay attention to her. He was accused of being a hooligan for doing good deeds in a leap year and not a leap month. Of course he was unhappy... So he concentrated on giving artificial respiration to the woman. He pressed her chest hundreds of times and kissed her... Oh
No, after crossing her breath hundreds of times, she finally heard a squeak and the woman resumed breathing.
"Brother, I'm so exhausted..." Wang Xian lay on the ground, breathing heavily like a bellows.
Ling Xiao saw that the woman's lips were swollen... She was dressed in plain clothes and a white scarf on her head, and she was actually dressed like a widow. At this time, the woman was completely wet, and her clothes clung to her skin, outlining her thrilling curves.
, even an inexperienced kid like Ling Xiao found it extremely beautiful. Not to mention a man like Wang Xian who was in his mid-teens or eighteen... He looked a little familiar and said, "Hey, isn't this the little widow?"
"
Lingxiao suddenly realized, no wonder the little Xianzi was so lustful, it turned out to be the little widow he had been dreaming about.
"You said you weren't taking advantage of others' danger." Lingxiao flew up with his snow-white feet and put them on Wang Xian's butt: "If this were a big man, would you still use your mouth?"
"Of course" Wang Xian said guiltily: "Ah sneeze..." Even though it was in the south of the Yangtze River, it was extremely cold by the river in the twelfth lunar month. He quickly pulled off his cotton-padded cloak. Lingxiao angrily wiped his feet with his lapel,
After putting on his boots, he saw Wang Xian picking up the woman by the waist and wrapping her tightly in the cloak. The little girl couldn't explain how she felt, so she curled her lips and said, "You've found a gold nugget."
"Why are you so vulgar?" Wang Xian scolded him as he walked back: "Helping others is the foundation of happiness, and rescuing others is the source of happiness. Can we just watch and ignore others when they jump into the river? Others are about to suffocate to death.
Now, can we just sit back and ignore it?"
"Men and women cannot be intimate," Lingxiao made a face and stuck out his tongue.
"Everything has its own authority"
The two of them bickered all the way back to the military camp. Wang Xian was already very familiar with the officers and soldiers guarding the gate. When he saw him coming back with a woman in his arms, he teased him a few words and let him in.
Back at the camp, Shuai Hui and others saw Wang Xian and Ling Xiao looking like drowned rats, as well as an unconscious woman. They didn't have time to ask more questions, so they quickly boiled water and went to make ginger soup. After the two of them had changed into clothes, they were already
It was midnight, Lingxiao couldn't hold on anymore, so he drank the ginger soup and went to sleep in the back.
Wang Xian didn't want to drink ginger soup, so he asked Shuai Hui to make a jar of soju, and drank it with the three brothers who had narrowly escaped death with salted fish and fennel beans in the camp.
These three people only arrived at the military camp this afternoon. The day before yesterday, Wang Xian found out that the three people were not dead, but were being held in the county jail by Mizhi County. He was overjoyed and asked Zhou Zhengtai to fish them out and send them to him.
They met... Just now the three of them were taking a bath to wash away bad luck, and Wang Xian went to the river to watch the fire, and that episode happened.
"I can't forgive this bowl to my brothers." Wang Xian raised his head and drank a bowl full of strong wine, squinting at Wu Wei, Shuai Hui and Er Hei: "As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw you three pouring down."
In the pool of blood, I didn't dare to close my eyes at all..." He said with red eyes: "You all blame me for bringing you to this hellish place. It's really a damn shame. I don't even dare to think about what I will do if you die.
Tell your family, wuwu..."
The three of them also lowered their heads and wiped away tears. They had been in fear all the time for the past ten days, and now that they have survived the disaster, they are still terrified.
"No matter what, if you survive a catastrophe, you will definitely have good fortune in the future." Shuai Hui was still open-minded and picked up the wine bowl and said: "With this bowl, all bad luck will be gone."
"Yu" and the three of them picked up their wine bowls and drank them all in one gulp.
When the wine bowl was filled, Wang Xian picked it up and said: "This bowl is to celebrate that our brothers can get out of this hell alive."
The three of them believed that it would be the greatest happiness to be able to walk out of the Pujiang River with all their hair and tail intact.
"With this bowl, I hope our brothers can leave this hellish place." Wang Xian picked up another bowl and said with a smile: "Next stop, Hangzhou."
"Aw!" The brothers were so happy now. Hangzhou is so good, so close to home, and it is the provincial capital. It is a paradise on earth: "When can we leave?" "It's just these few days," Wang Xiandao said, "Zhou Zhitai understands that I am here.
Pujiang couldn't stay any longer, so he seconded me to the Ancha Division first."
"That's a good relationship." The brothers laughed and said, "Zhou Zhitai is really a good person."
"Also, Hu Qin and I tried hard to persuade him, but he finally agreed..." Wang Xian said again, "I'll find an official position for the three of you in Hangzhou."
"Real or false?" Shuai Hui was shocked: "What does it mean to be an official and part-time official? Can we also be officials?"
"Of course, you are now officials, so you are naturally qualified to be an official." Wang Xian said with a smile.
"My ancestors..." Shuai Hui excitedly hugged Erhei's neck and kissed him again and again: "I love Imperial Commissioner Hu to death."
Erhei stretched out his hand to push away his wet mouth and couldn't hide his joy and said: "You showed your wrong feelings. It is our adults who should love you."
"Yes, yes. Sir, from now on, I will be yours in life, and your ghost in death."
"How far is it to die?" Wang Xian cursed with a smile. With the help of wine, the three of them laughed and made a fuss. Only Wu Wei was lonely and couldn't laugh...
