Thinking of Mr. Di wearing the robes he made himself to catch bad guys and kill evil officials... the little woman felt as if she had also participated, and felt extremely proud and proud.
I heard: Since Lord Di was born, the villagers are no longer as tolerant of grievances and injustices as they used to be.
very nice.
In the darkness, the little woman thought like this, giving herself more courage to resist the invisible and terrifying pressure around her.
In the silence, footsteps suddenly came from behind.
The little woman was startled and immediately stood sideways by the road, looking back warily.
Feeling that it was not yet safe, she stepped back and squatted down, trying to blend herself into the darkness.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, the little woman's heart began to beat "bang, bang, bang bang" completely uncontrollably.
His hands involuntarily grasped the small bundle in his arms.
Suddenly it occurred to me that I was careless.
If you are traveling at night, you should bring something that can protect yourself.
Thinking about it, he quietly stretched out a hand and groped slowly and silently on the ground beside him.
This is an official road, but it is also a mountain road built along the foot of the mountain. Every day, the little woman would walk back and forth on this road. She remembered that there were many small stones and gravels beside the road.
She wanted to touch one so that she could feel confident.
The footsteps are closer...
The little woman's sight, which had adapted to the darkness, could even vaguely see a figure walking towards her quickly.
The little woman became even more panicked.
Fortunately, the stone was touched.
A stone the size of a palm, with jagged edges.
The little woman immediately grasped it firmly and put the hand holding the stone behind her back.
The visitor paused.
Shaking left and right, it seems that the person is looking this way.
The little woman wished she could shrink herself under the ground. I kept praying in my heart that the other party would not discover me.
But obviously: her eyes adapted to the darkness, and so did the other person.
The other party tentatively took two more steps this way.
At the moment when the little woman was extremely nervous and her heart strings were stretched to the extreme.
Suddenly I heard the other party making a sound.
"Who are you?"
The little woman bit her lower lip and said nothing, but her eyes were fixed on the other person's body and she did not dare to move even an inch.
Then I heard the man ask again: "I have something urgent and I have to rush to the city. Who are you? Don't scare me, I'm timid."
Such a long sentence suddenly made the little woman's heartstrings suddenly loosen at this moment.
She recognized who it was.
She sat down on the ground, let go of the small stone, and released her other hand from holding the bundle.
"Ouch" he replied: "Uncle Jian, who are you trying to scare to death by rushing on in silence?"
The middle-aged uncle Jian Mao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the voice was a human voice, that of Ke Yingying, a young woman from the same village.
"You are so scary. You were squatting on the side of the road without saying a word. I thought you were a wild beast, but you looked like a human being. My old heart almost stopped beating with fear."
When Ke Yingying heard this, she felt funny herself.
As he stood up and patted the dust on his butt, he said: "It's too dark today, it's pitch black, I'm scared to go on my way alone in the morning.
I heard footsteps chasing me from behind again, so I wanted to hide. Who knew that Uncle Jian, you have such good eyesight, you could also notice this. By the way, Uncle Jian, why are you going to Zhoucheng so early? "
"Hey, it's not because of my two brats. I went into Zhoucheng last night and said I wanted to buy a piece of meat, but no one was there yet. I was worried that something would happen to them, so I wanted to go to the city early. Look for it." Uncle Jian replied.
Ke Yingying thought of the two naughty and careless boys in Uncle Jian's family, so she urged Uncle Jian to leave quickly.
Although she actually wanted Uncle Jian to accompany her.
"Uncle Jian, please go quickly. I am slow and I don't dare to delay you. I hope they are both safe and you can find them soon."
As expected, Uncle Jian quickened his pace and immediately opened the distance between him and Ke Yingying.
While echoing: "Okay, uncle, I will take the first step. It's not that uncle doesn't want to wait for you, but because he is afraid that they will be arrested by the government again for no reason. If they are arrested again, they will be covered in mouth. I can’t explain it clearly.”
Uncle Jian spoke and walked quickly, his voice gradually disappearing into the darkness.
Ke Yingying also tried to speed up her pace, trying to catch up with the opponent's tail.
Being able to listen to the other person's footsteps gave her a lot of confidence.
But Uncle Jian really walked too fast, and soon he couldn't even hear the footsteps clearly.
But the state capital is coming soon.
At this time, Ke Yingying was halfway up the mountain. After walking one mile down the mountain, she could touch the city wall.
Now if you look towards the direction of Zhoucheng, you can vaguely see the shadow of the city gate tower.
She made up her mind and continued on her way.
Suddenly, I heard two voices in front of me, where Uncle Jian's footsteps disappeared completely: "Dad? Dad!"
Ke Yingying couldn't help but smile.
She recognized the voices of the two brats from Uncle Jian's family.
These two children probably knew that their absence all night would make their families worried, so they rushed home when the city gate was slightly opened at Maoshi, right?
Ke Yingying was truly happy for Uncle Jian, and also happy that these two brats were somewhat filial after all.
Sure enough, after only ten breaths of time, the four of them met on the mountain road.
Uncle Jian held one of his sons by one hand and walked back, scolding people at the same time.
Ke Yingying said hello to the other party again, then smiled sweetly and continued on her way.
And just when the two sides staggered, they were less than ten steps apart.
Something unexpected happened!
A black shadow suddenly jumped down from a big tree beside the road, pinched Ke Yingying's throat, and pushed hard...
When Uncle Jian and the others heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground behind them, thinking that Ke Yingying had fallen, and rushed to check, they discovered that Ke Yingying had died.
Uncle Jian's youngest son couldn't help but pierced the tranquility of the night with a horrifying scream that ripped through his throat.
…
The soldier responsible for guarding the south city gate, still holding a long gun and dozing against the corner gate of the city gate, suddenly woke up when he heard about the murder case, and rushed to the state government office to report the case.
The gatekeeper did not go in when hearing the case. Instead, he raised his voice and shouted loudly: "There is a case!"
In less than ten breaths, he saw Master Di, who was rushing over, not even wearing his robes neatly, and riding a horse.
And, a group of bodyguard brothers on horseback.
