"Dad, just wait, it's up to you." A cold smile appeared at the corner of the son's mouth. The old woman looked at her, as if she knew what he wanted to do. She was about to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by the old man.
.
The son narrowed his dangerous eyes slightly, took a wooden stick to support the window from the corner of the central hall, and walked lightly to the room where they lived. Zhang Shaoliang let out a contemptuous snort from his nose...
Early the next morning, Luo Ling woke up in the warm morning light. As soon as she opened her eyes, she suddenly remembered that she had promised Zhang Shaoliang last night to replace him in the night watch for the rest of the night. Who would have thought that she was too tired?
Just fell asleep.
He just stood up and looked around, but didn't see Zhang Shaoliang or anyone else. Luo Ling couldn't help but feel anxious. When he opened the door, he saw a horrifying scene.
"You... you..."
Luo Ling opened her mouth wide and looked at the old woman, the old man, and a young son who were tied together. When they saw Luo Ling coming out, they made "oooo..." sounds in their mouths, but they were blocked with rags.
Even Luo Ling didn't know what they wanted to express.
At this time, Zhang Shaoliang walked out of the side room in the courtyard, put some simple meals on the table, and said to Luo Ling: "Go to the well in the courtyard to wash up and eat something. We are on our way."
"They..." Luo Ling pointed at the tied up family and looked at Zhang Shaoliang in confusion. Zhang Shaoliang sat at the table and snorted disdainfully: "Money is a man's heart."
Luo Ling understood, walked to the courtyard, and saw that there was water prepared for her to wash by the well. The weather was finally sunny, which made Luo Ling feel a little better.
While Luo Ling was having breakfast recently, Zhang Shaoliang went to feed the horses again. By the time the two of them left the farmhouse, the sun had already risen high.
"I'll hold the reins, you can lean on me and sleep for a while." Luo Ling suddenly said, Zhang Shaoliang was slightly startled, and then he thought about last night when she said that she stayed awake for the rest of the night, but slept until dawn, and couldn't help but smile.
He joked: "Tsk, your conscience is disturbed, right?"
"Give it to me." Luo Ling said, then took the reins from his hand and held it gracefully.
Zhang Shaoliang looked down at her, thought for a while, and said: "But it's not just about watching the road. If I fall asleep, you are also responsible for paying attention to whether there are enemies around, whether you are being followed, and which way to go.
"
"Yeah, I understand. It's no problem. You can go to sleep."
Seeing Luo Ling's face full of promise, Zhang Shaoliang couldn't help but attack her, although he was indeed a little sleepy.
With his head resting on Luo Ling's shoulder, and the fragrance of her hair entering his nose, Zhang Shaoliang couldn't sleep, so he had to talk about some seemingly important topics.
"Girl, tell me, which way will Yu take?" he asked.
Luo Ling thought about it. Every road was ambushed and surrounded by enemies. If he could rush back to the capital on time without any casualties, he would have to take a road unexpected by the enemy to avoid their pursuit.
"Zhang Shaoliang, is there any road that the enemy will not block, or that is impossible to block?" Luo Ling asked.
Hearing this, Zhang Shaoliang was stunned. He should have thought a long time ago that if Yuwen Haoyu and the others were in front, then these enemies would have chased them long ago and would not have stayed here to continue the encirclement. From this, it can be inferred that
The path they took was not the one Yuwen Haoyu had walked before.
