Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 229 Yue Niang’s Shoes and Socks on a Rainy Night
The bad news is: when the police officers left overnight, they took the carriages and horses with them.

On Dahang Mountain, the mountain road is rugged and unstable, and Wang'an Temple is located at the top of Dahang Mountain.

If you want to reach the foot of the mountain as quickly as possible in this dark night, it will not only be extremely difficult, but also extremely dangerous.

No one can guarantee that going all the way down from the top of the mountain at this time will not encounter wild animals or accidentally fall off the cliff.

But at this time, he could no longer stay in Wang'an Temple for long. Wu Kai had no choice but to take Yueniang and leave Wang'an Temple in a hurry under the cover of night.

As soon as they left the temple gate, Wu Kai and Yueniang walked quickly west towards the foot of the mountain.

He was constantly on guard to see if people from Wang'an Temple might be chasing him. If he was accidentally caught by someone from Wang'an Temple, it would be the end of the world.

Wu Kai has always been Wu Yueniang's sister in his life. In the past, although the brother and sister were not necessarily very close to each other, and the relationship between them since childhood was only superficial, it is better not to talk about it.

But Wu Kai is now older. Seeing his sister's husband die early, her sister is lonely and helpless, leaving a huge mess to be supported by her sister alone, he feels very sorry for his sister.

After all, blood is thicker than water. It doesn't matter if things don't reach that point on weekdays. Once something big or small happens, family affection will inevitably emerge.

In this way, at this time, Wu Kai had put his own life at risk and would take his sister to the foot of Dahang Mountain no matter what.

Wu Kai kept looking back carefully as he walked.

He was so nervous that his heart tightened into a ball.

I was deeply afraid that the people in Wang'an Temple would catch up.

Fortunately, not a single person was seen.

In other words, since the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties, there have been frequent wars in Bianliang City. The imperial court concentrated all the power of the country in Bianliang City.

As a result, except for Bianliang City, all other cities in the Song Dynasty had been stripped down to three floors inside and three floors outside, and the conditions were extremely poor.

After several battles, although the Song Dynasty court showed extraordinary prowess, it was worthy of the cross of "the emperor guards the country, the king dies for the country".

Although the Song Dynasty court was famous and majestic, in the end all problems must come down to money.

The war has left the treasury so empty!Taxes add up!Expenses everywhere are reduced again and again!
But how can it be better?

It is precisely because of this that Wu Kai encountered such an unfortunate incident tonight.

Wu Kai and Wu Yueniang walked for dozens of miles. Seeing that they were safe, they realized that the weather was not good at this time. There were layers of dark clouds in the night sky, and a heavy rain was about to fall.

Wu Kai panicked and hurriedly took off his clothes and put them all on Wu Yueniang.

He said to his entourage: "It's too late to leave. Hurry up and run. Go ahead and explore the way!"

"I'm carrying my sister on my back and following you!"

The attendant quickly said: "Yes! Master!"

The attendant immediately stepped forward, exhausting the little bit of strength left in his body, and ran forward quickly.

Without saying a word, Wu Kai carried Wu Yueniang on his back.

Yueniang felt sorry for her brother and tried to get off Wu Kai several times, saying: "Brother, I can walk by myself, I don't need you to carry him."

Wu Kai said in amusement: "It is natural for a brother to carry his sister on his back. Now that you have grown up, are you embarrassed? Have you forgotten that when you were a kid, your brother carried your sister around on his back all day long?"

Yueniang's heart felt sour, she pressed her face deeply against the white hair on Wu Kai's head, and choked with sobs: "Brother, I'm afraid you'll be tired."

Wu Kai's eyes were fixed on the ground, while trotting with all his strength, he said, "Sister, don't worry, what happened tonight can't just pass like this."

"Those thieves and bastards in Wang'an Temple, brother, even if I die with them, I will still be so angry for you!" "After you return home, no matter what dad asks you, don't say anything. Anyway, I decided to fight with Wang’an Temple!”

Wu Yueniang was very aware of his and Wu Kai's father's temperament. Although he had been an official in the court for many years, he was a real cowardly loser.

Wu Kai wanted to stand up for her, but their father would definitely swallow his anger, adhering to the principle of doing more things than doing less, and let Wu Yueniang put up with it.

Wu Yueniang immediately burst into tears: "Brother, you have deep feelings for Yueniang, and Yueniang knows it in her heart, but brother, you are already such an age, and tonight you have to suffer such humiliation for Yueniang, Yueniang feels uncomfortable... "

Wu Kai didn't say anything, just followed the entourage all the way, trotting towards the foot of the mountain.

I don’t know how much time passed, but it was still a long way from the foot of the mountain, and raindrops began to fall from the sky.

At first they were just raindrops, as small as needles.

However, the raindrops became heavier and denser, and the small raindrops soon turned into heavy rain the size of soybean grains.

Wu Kai almost exhausted the last bit of strength in his body and couldn't run no matter what.

But he had to run away with his sister on his back, he had no choice.

After all, Yueniang is a woman with bound feet. If these three-inch golden lotus ran on the ground and traveled all the way, wouldn't it be useless?

Just when Wu Kai was in a state of confusion, he saw his entourage running back from the corner in front.

Wu Kai's heart tightened and he said sternly: "You are such a thief, I told you to run as fast as you can, but why did you turn around and come back!"

The attendant was panting and said: "Old... Master! Not far ahead there is a small temple that is as tall as one person. You and the young lady can go inside to take shelter from the rain."

Wu Kai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help saying: "On Daxing Mountain, there is actually a small deserted temple as tall as a person? It's really amazing!"

Although Wu Kai felt very strange, he was extremely happy in his heart.

At this time, there is no shelter between heaven and earth. If there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, that would be the best.

Soon, Wu Kai carried Wu Yueniang on his back to the small deserted temple mentioned by his entourage.

This small desert temple is extremely small and can only accommodate four people at most.

However, at this time, I saw an old monk sitting inside, with a wooden fish placed in front of him, banging and chanting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.

The attendant was startled and blurted out: "It was obvious just now that there was no one around, so why is there an old monk sitting inside now!"

Wu Kai's first reaction was that this person was probably from Wang'an Temple, so he wanted to follow him here and ran to the foot of the mountain with his sister on his back.

However, Wu Kai had just taken four steps when he heard the old monk say in a deep voice: "It's raining so hard, when is the last stop? Please hurry up and take shelter from the rain."

As soon as the words fell, the rainfall suddenly doubled.

At this time, Wu Kai and Wu Yueniang were soaked from head to toe. Wu Kai could clearly see that his sister's socks had been soaked by the rain and fell to the ground along with her shoes.

Wu Kai gritted his teeth, turned around, and said to the old monk, "If Master is from Wang'an Temple, it's okay to say so!"

"I, Wu Kai, will give my life to you tonight, master. It's no big deal! I just ask you, master, to let my sister go."

It's obvious that if this old monk is from Wang'an Temple, there must be many great monks from Wang'an Temple nearby.

Hide, you can't escape.

The only thing he could do was ask the old monk to open his eyes, Wu Kai's life would be worth one life, and ask the people in Wang'an Temple to let Yueniang live.
