The Pearl of the Lady

Chapter 82 Escape (2)
"Keep the gate of the city," he unloaded the bow and arrow behind his back, and shot an arrow at the door upstairs where the soldiers were hiding, and the soldiers in the door crawled out, he ordered in a deep voice.

Ah Fu fell into a drowsy sleep under the influence of the drug. In his dream, he was having a snowball fight with Xiao Huomiao and his brothers. After a while, his father and mother also joined the battlefield, beating the brothers to pieces, watching their embarrassment. Ah Fu couldn't help laughing in his dream.

Ah Fu's side is a dream, and in reality the three brothers are not much better than Ah Fu's embarrassed appearance in his dream.

After discovering Ah Fu's disappearance, Gu Weixuan immediately asked Gu Zixuan to bring the guards back to the palace to report the news, Gu Qixuan went back to the mansion to lead the soldiers, and went to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, ready to search at any time.

Gu Zixuan intercepted Gu Zhao and Princess Hua'an under the palace wall. He rolled off his horse and told him that Ah Fu was missing without even breathing. Gu Zhao supported his wife, took off the token and handed it to Gu Zixuan, "Take my token, and I will ask His Majesty to close the city gate."

Gu Zixuan nodded, and climbed onto the horse again drenched in sweat. Princess Hua'an stopped him and told him to "bring my sister back, and" she bit her lip and patted Gu Zixuan's hand, "Ah Fu likes you the most, don't blame yourself .”

Gu Zixuan clenched his teeth, flicked the reins and walked away, tears burning from his eyes to his heart.

Father and mother didn't say anything to blame. The three brothers of the Gu family still looked the same as before, but with huge self-remorse in their hearts, they gritted their teeth and searched in the vast night. The Lantern Festival, which was still brightly lit just now, now But like an illusion, the joy is gone with the wind.

"It's snowing..." Snowflakes drifted more and more, people in the lantern market hurriedly put away their stalls, the father covered his little daughter with his clothes and ran home, and the lovers said goodbye to each other in a low voice.

Father Dong of the wonton stall closed the stall slowly, looked outside from time to time, and talked to the old woman beside him, "Why didn't the little girl come?"

The old woman put the bowls and chopsticks in the bucket, and looked outside, "It's snowing here, maybe I can't come here."

"I even left some wontons stuffed with three delicacies for her." The old man looked outside again. "The little girl has a really pretty smile."

"Old man, here is a bowl of wonton stuffed with three delicacies, put more chili and less vinegar." A young man put away his umbrella, lowered his head and entered the shed. It was Xuan Zhenzi.

Father Dong said, "You came late today, the wontons are almost gone."

"Don't coax me, please, I've been standing here for a whole day, and I finally found some free time to run over. I just heard you said that you still have a little bit of three delicacies left." Xuan Zhenzi saluted and smiled. please.

The old man was also teasing him just now, and quickly put the wontons out of the pot, and while putting the seasoning in the bowl, he talked to him, "It was reserved for a little girl. She didn't come today, so it's cheaper, you boy. Speaking of which, you two The flavors are the same, but you have to put more chili and less vinegar.”

Xuan Zhenzi said, "She's a seven or eight-year-old girl with lively eyebrows and eyes, and she looks very aura." It's not easy to get this compliment from his mouth. Many people are good-looking, but it's not easy to say that they have aura. The last time I ate wonton When a few people talked about the famous beauties in the capital, Xuan Zhenzi always liked to chat and joke with people, but he didn't speak that time. When the old man asked him later, he only said that he was skinny and boneless, and it was hard to say that he was beautiful.

His description was quite abstract, the old man thought about it, but nodded, it was indeed the feeling, and said, "Yes, the eyes are big, and the smile is very cute. I came to eat wontons during the day yesterday, and told me that I would bring them tonight. I asked my brother to come over, but he didn’t come.”

He couldn't help but said, "The little girl has always kept her word, and she ran here once when it was raining heavily."

Xuan Zhenzi put his forehead on his forehead and smiled. This is the self-cultivation of a foodie. He stretched out his fingers and counted twice, and smiled slightly, "Excuse me, please cook an extra bowl with the one just now. I will take it away."

The old man said, "This wonton won't taste good once it cools."

Xuan Zhenzi said, "It won't be cold, I'll send a bowl to a greedy cat."

The snow fell more and more heavily, and the road out of the capital was covered with snow. With the sound of gada, the galloping carriage stopped.

"Brother, we can't go. The snow is getting heavier and heavier. Our car is heavy. I heard the car whistling just now. It will be over in a while if it breaks down halfway." The fourth child said.

"Where have we been?"

"It's sixty miles away from Beijing, and no one will chase after this weather during the festival."

The fat man thought for a while and asked, "Is there any place around here? Let's take shelter from the snow."

The second child said, "There is an abandoned Taoist temple around here. I stayed there for one night when I came back to the capital."

"is it safe?"

"There's nothing left in that Taoist temple, except for one of the idols that can't be stolen, it's still good, no one goes there at all."

"Okay, let's go there for a while and wait for the snow to stop before we go."

A black shadow flashed past in the distance, it seemed to be a wild cat in the woods.

Ah Fu was woken up when the carriage bumped a bit. Her hands were tied and she couldn't rub her sore forehead. Ah Fu thought a little sadly, if mother knew how miserable I was, she would definitely be sad of.

A little girl who was older than Ah Fu also woke up, and she tapped Ah Fu's finger with the only loose finger to convey her comfort.

"Hey, it's really broken." The fifth child swept away the spider web in front of him.

The boss covered his mouth and coughed, and the girl who was kneeling next to him just worked obediently, spread the mat on the ground, and went out to fill the snow and boil water.

Originally, they just planned to wait for the snow to be smaller, but who knew that the snow would get smaller and bigger, so the boss ordered the fourth and fifth children to move the child out of the mezzanine, so as not to suffocate.

Ah Fu closed his eyes, pretending that he hadn't woken up, when he suddenly felt a cold and hard thing stuffed into his hand, which seemed to be a knife, Ah Fu clenched his hand tightly.The fourth child moved out a boy and touched his forehead.

"Boss, there is a fever."

The boss stood and looked at it from a distance. He was most afraid of his life, for fear of being infected. From a distance, he saw the boy's face was burning red, his lips were chapped and his skin was dry, and his breathing was weak.

"There won't be any epidemic, right?" The third child said worriedly, "It was fine when I pretended it before, but this is an emergency, won't the other children also?"
