Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 4 Rainy Night
Although I knew it was going to rain, I didn't expect the heavy rain to come so fast.

The torrential rain instantly made the cecum path muddy, and everyone was drenched and miserable.

There was no shelter from the rain on the road. Seeing that it was going to be completely dark, the yamen servants held up torches and yelled cursingly at everyone to hurry on. Anyone who dared to delay even the slightest bit would be whipped with a whip.

Shen Yuexi still had a high fever, and her mind was always in a daze.Stepping on the muddy path, her calf was accidentally cut by a thorn, which hurt her heart, but she still walked forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

Behind her, some women had already collapsed to the ground exhausted, and were immediately whipped by the yamen servants and screamed. They could only grit their teeth and continue to get up and move forward slowly.

She knew that the yamen servants would not pity these exiles before they died.

Xiao Zhuo was wearing heavy handcuffs and shackles, tinkling, heavy steps, blood stains mixed with mud and water seeped from his ankles, and slowly walked forward with the crowd, his face was terribly pale.

Shen Yuexi leaned over and saw that Xiao Zhuo did not resist her approach, so she tried to support him.

Xiao Zhuo glanced at her silently, and didn't say much.

After walking for several miles in the pouring rain, a temple appeared on the side of the road.

The outer wall has collapsed in several places, and the skin of the wall has peeled off. It is obvious at a glance that it is a ruined temple that has been abandoned for a long time.

After everyone entered the temple, they found that the temple was not very big. There was only one front hall and one back hall. The two halls were connected to each other and separated by two doors.

It can barely hold the group of them, at least it can hide from the rain.

All the exiled prisoners were driven to the apse. As soon as Shen Yuexi arrived at the apse, she immediately found a corner that was not leaking, and helped Xiao Zhuo to sit down.

The yamen servant came over and lit a fire, threw a few steamed buns into the middle of the crowd, then turned and left, not caring whether they would get dirty if they were thrown in the muddy water.

The crowd rushed up to fight for it.

Being urged by the yamen servants all the way, Shen Yuexi was already dizzy from hunger, and there were stars in front of her eyes.Seeing something to eat, she rushed over desperately to snatch the steamed buns on the ground.

During the snatching, she was hit hard by someone, her body was tilted, her eyes were dizzy, and she rolled on the ground.

There was a burning pain in the arm, which should have been scratched.

She took a deep breath and didn't have time to look at the wound, but excitedly looked at the steamed bun tightly held in her hand.

This is her and Xiao Zhuo's life-saving straw.

I finally have my rations for tonight.

Wipe off the muddy water on it with his sleeve, then carefully tear off the dirty skin, and then break off half of it and give it to Xiao Zhuo.

"Well, here it is for you."

The man didn't speak a word along the way, and she didn't expect him to answer.

At least from now on, he no longer rejects her thousands of miles away.

Xiao Zhuo took the half of the steamed bun, glanced at it, and ate it silently.

Very well, if there is a chance to escape, she believes that Xiao Zhuo will take her along.

The biggest problem now is how to untie the shackles on Xiao Zhuo's feet and hands.

She had been paying attention to the yamen servant who was wearing a key on his waist all the way, but she never had a chance to get close.

And the yamen servant with the key is also extra cautious, even if he sleeps at night, he will not take it off, but put it in the front of his chest.

As more and more people died, her heart became more and more anxious.

Just walking this section of the road in the rain, several people have died.

If she didn't leave, she was afraid that she would die again as soon as she crossed over. She believed that God would definitely not give her a second chance to live again.

It was pitch black outside the temple, and the rain kept falling, showing no sign of stopping.

The air became chilly, she curled up subconsciously and moved towards Xiao Zhuo.

My high fever has not subsided, and the manufacturing machine can't help for the time being, so I can only rely on myself first.

Tossing and turning, she squinted her eyes and fell asleep for a while, only to wake up again from the cold.Hearing the sound of the rain outside the temple and the snoring in the temple one after another, she couldn't sleep more and more.

Not wanting to hear the snoring from the other side, she turned over and saw that Xiao Zhuo hadn't slept either.

Xiao Zhuo's eyes scanned the surroundings sharply, and suddenly leaned over to her ear and whispered: "Don't make a sound."

Shen Yuexi was very surprised that this person actually took the initiative to talk to herself.

Close at hand, she felt that Xiao Zhuo's whole body was tense, his body was in a state of counterattack at any time, and his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.

There seems to be some danger...

Xiao Zhuo stood up, holding the handcuffs and shackles to avoid making a sound, and dragged her to hide under the window.The concealment here is extremely strong, whether it is a sneak attack or avoiding pursuit, it is an excellent place.

There was a faint sound of noisy horseshoes outside, and Shen Yuexi was a little curious for a moment, and poked out half of her head to look out.

There was a sudden "collapse" sound not far away.

Seems like someone is flicking cotton?
She was still thinking, a big hand pressed the top of her head and pushed her down violently.

A cold light flew past her scalp, followed by a "beep" sound, as if something had been nailed into the wood.

She looked at the place where the sound came from, and saw a carved feathered arrow shining brightly on the pillar with mottled red paint, the tail feathers of the arrow were still trembling slightly.

Her heart beat violently.

I was still looking out stupidly, but fortunately Xiao Zhuo was quick, and almost became the unlucky ghost whose head was shot by an arrow just after crossing over.

"Enemy attack!"

A yamen servant rushed into the apse with a knife in his hand, and just as he shouted for warning, there was a series of swishing sounds, and he was shot with several arrows in his chest, and fell headlong into the puddle, staining the rainwater from his body red with blood.

The crowd exploded with a "boom" and stood up one after another trying to escape, but everyone was chained and there was nowhere to escape.

The sound of feathered arrows piercing through the air was continuous, and hooves were rumbling in the darkness, and it was unknown how many attackers there were.Shen Yuexi only saw that the yamen servants and exiles were shot with arrows one after another, and some of them were shot like hedgehogs with dozens of arrows.

For a while, screams came and went in the ruined temple, like hell on earth.

She and Xiao Zhuo were hiding under the window, the arrow rain did not hurt them, but she was still terrified, her legs were shaking non-stop.

Oh my god, I thought about planning to run away, but now there are still people coming to assassinate them, it's too exaggerated.

This is not a joke, with her weak body still suffering from a high fever, even if she is only hit by an arrow, she will either die or be disabled.

I don't know what the other party's background is, regardless of officials and civilians, they want to kill all the people in the ruined temple.

Thinking that her life was not long, Shen Yuexi became flustered and wanted to stand up and run away in an instant.

Xiao Zhuo held her arm tightly, shook his head slightly and gestured with his eyes.

Shen Yuexi was dragged tightly and couldn't get up, so she had to follow Xiao Zhuo's gaze, and immediately understood what he meant.

Amidst the dead bodies and pools of blood on the ground, a government servant with two arrows stuck in his back was about to get up while propping himself up on the ground with a steel knife, when a feathered arrow whizzed towards him and pierced into his head.

The archers outside were aiming at every moving person in the ruined temple. If she stood up at this moment, countless feathered arrows would fly over immediately.

Compared with Xiao Zhuo, who is good at fighting, she is an idiot in this area, and it is better to obediently obey Xiao Zhuo's orders.
