Waiting for a long time(1/2)
The water town in the south of the Yangtze River has recently entered the continuous rainy season, and it is always foggy and the sun cannot be seen.
Wan Moluo, Qiao Runzhi and Dan'er have been traveling non-stop for five days since they left Lingwei Villa. Now they have arrived at Dan'er's hometown and decided to stay here for one more day to rest.
In fact, if they had followed Wan Mo Luo's wishes, they should have gone to the border of Xuanyuan Kingdom without stopping.
But now that people and horses are exhausted, if they keep going like this, they will probably not reach the border yet, and Qiao Runzhi and Dan'er may not be able to hold on.
Coupled with the shyness of being close to home, every brick and tile here can bring back memories of Dan'er's childhood.
Wanmoluo also asked Dan'er if he had any family members here, but he did not receive a positive answer.
Dan'er lived here with his family when he was young. When he grew up, some of his families encountered bandits in the middle of the night and killed everyone in the family. The only few children were sold to places such as brothels.
go.
In his memory, he only vaguely remembered the appearance of his hometown. Now that he returned here, he was filled with emotions.
Although I can no longer remember where his home is or who his last name is, I can still feel the familiar feeling while walking on this road.
When Qiao Runzhi saw Dan'er feeling sad, he offered to accompany him for a walk.
This place has left the Southern Kingdom. It is at the junction of the Southern Kingdom and the Xuanyuan Kingdom. It basically belongs to the territory of the people in the Jianghu.
The boundaries where each country meets are the same and are beyond the control of the imperial court. Most of these places are large, effectively blocking friction between the two countries.
Wanmoluo followed the two people in tacit understanding, walking step by step, while not forgetting to observe the surrounding environment.
Qiao Runzhi and Dan'er were very comfortable walking in front, looking here and there.
Dan'er and Qiao Runzhi took a closer look, and finally their eyes fell on Qiao Runzhi:
"Brother Runzhi, I think among the few of us, you are the only one my wife really likes."
Qiao Runzhi didn't know what Dan'er was thinking and why he said such a sentence suddenly. He was stunned for a moment and then poked Dan'er in embarrassment and said:
"My wife is actually very kind to all of us."
Dan'er was noncommittal, but then said:
"That's different. Among us, the wife cares about you the most. Although I don't know why the wife married so many husbands in the past, she no longer cares half-heartedly. The most important thing is that she is true to you.
like."
Qiao Runzhi nodded involuntarily after hearing the first half of the sentence. In fact, he didn't know why the wife married so many husbands at that time. At that time, he also looked for the reason in himself.
But everything was fruitless, so at that time Qiao Runzhi could only comfort himself that his wife was young and frivolous. When she matured in a few years, she might be no different from her childhood.
Now it seemed that this was indeed the case, so Qiao Runzhi couldn't help but look back at Wan Mo Luo.
Seeing Brother Runzhi turn back, Dan'er also turned back at this time. It was really strange that the two people walking in front stopped chatting at the same time and turned around to see Wanmoluo's appearance.
This caused Wan Mo Luo to glance curiously at the two people who looked back at him, but soon the two people turned their heads and stopped looking at Wan Mo Luo.
This couldn't help but make Wanmoluo feel helpless. He didn't know what they were whispering, so he simply didn't come forward to ruin the atmosphere.
Qiao Runzhi and Dan'er turned around and looked at each other with a smile, and then Dan'er continued:
"Oh, it's a pity that my memory of the place where I was born and raised has been blurred. It would be great if I could live here for a long time."
When Qiao Runzhi heard Dan'er's words, he thought he wanted to stay in this water town, so he asked:
"Do you want to settle here?"
Dan'er smiled, waved his hand and said:
"No, although I have the memory of this place, it is in the past after all. I am living like a duckweed. Only in the past few years with my wife can I live a stable life. Although I have to live again now
Facing a life without a stable home..."
"But since I still have you, I won't be afraid anymore."
Qiao Runzhi looked at Dan'er and couldn't bear it, so he said:
"Dan'er, if you want, you can stay here forever. No one will recognize you if you change your name. You don't have to run around."
Dan'er shook his head, feeling very confused:
"Perhaps you and I can remain anonymous, but the wife...this matter has caused such a big fuss, and I am afraid that the wife will not have a peaceful life. Do you really trust that the wife will be hunted down alone?
"
Qiao Runzhi was stunned when he heard Dan'er say this. He really couldn't worry about Wan Mo Luo walking alone in the world, but in the current situation, Qiao Runzhi was also wondering if Wan Mo Luo would leave without the two of them.
A little more handy?
"I'm really worried, but I'm also wondering if my wife will be more relaxed if she doesn't have us..."
As soon as these words came out, both of them fell into silence. Following or staying is not the best way, so what should be done?
Just when the two of them were thinking deeply, the sound of horse riding pierced the quiet and peaceful water town.
Several women in uniform purple outfits galloped through the market on tall horses, trampling some people and stalls who had no time to dodge.
But those few people didn't care at all and kept moving forward.
This move alarmed the passers-by on the street, and everyone followed them until the group of women in purple stopped at the bulletin board and posted several portraits and bounties on the bulletin board, and then everyone gathered around them.
Wan Mo Luo quickly grabbed Qiao Runzhi and Dan'er with quick eyes and hands. She recognized the swords worn on the waists of those purple-clothed women as the swords of the Wan Du Sect.
The three people walked towards the most inconspicuous position in the crowd, and came to a place where they could see the notice. Looking from a distance, they saw three portraits of faces.
One woman and two men, it was obvious that the people from the Wandu Sect were looking for them!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wanmoluo looked carefully and found that the three of them depicted on the portrait were not lifelike, only two or three points similar.
Presumably Wei Xiwen secretly helped, trying not to show the true appearance of these people.
I just didn't expect that the Ten Thousand Poison Sect could be so efficient and could distribute this wanted order to a water town so far away from Lingwei Villa in just five days.
Wan Moluo just took a cursory glance at the reward, then quietly left the crowd with Qiao Runzhi and Dan'er and returned to the hotel.
"What should I do? What should I do now?"
The first person who was not calm when he returned was Dan'er. He was already timid, but now that he saw people from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect coming to his door, he felt timid when he thought that the wife was assassinated by Zhao Ziqin and the poison she received was very powerful.
A few points.
"My wife, do we want to leave the city now?"
Qiao Runzhi was also a little anxious. This was neither the Southern Kingdom nor the Xuanyuan Kingdom. If the people of the Wandu Sect were really overbearing and searched door to door, they would be found sooner or later. Then it would really be a trap.
Wanmoluo glanced at the anxious two people, hesitated and said:
"It's really not a good place to stay here for a long time, but now that people from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect are coming to visit us, I'm afraid they'll send people to check at the city gate. If we leave directly, I'm afraid we'll be playing into their own hands."
"Then...what should we do?"
Dan'er sat on the chair a little discouraged, Wanmoluo thought for a while and then said:
"Looking at their posture, they should just come here to keep a lookout. Since there are not many people, we can force our way out at any time."
"only......"
Wan Moluo looked at Qiao Runzhi and Dan'er and said hesitantly:
"I have been thinking recently whether it is right for you to follow me. You have suffered too much along the way. If you are willing, you might as well wait until this time to break out and I will place you in a safe place. After all, everything is safe."
The only person the Poison Sect wants to capture is me."
Wan Mo Luo's proposal was what Qiao Runzhi and Dan'er were discussing at the market today. All three of them were silent for a moment.
"After so many things, we have indeed been dragging the wife down..."
Seeing that Wan Mo Luo was about to retort, Dan'er interrupted and continued:
"My wife, there is no need to excuse us. Brother Runzhi and I are powerless. We know how much we weigh. We are also talking about this topic today..."
Dan'er lowered his head and felt his eyes were a little wet, but he forced himself to say:
"We are willing to follow you, but now it seems that the most correct way is for us to find a stable place to settle down."
Seeing Dan'er's appearance, Qiao Runzhi looked at Wan Mo Luo with some sadness. In fact, he was extremely unwilling to separate from Wan Mo Luo.
But if it was left to his own temper, Wan Mo Luo could escape with luck for a while, but he would not be able to escape for a lifetime. Once either of the two of them was caught by the people of Wan Du Sect, Wan Mo Luo would have to put him at risk.
Emerging, this is what Qiao Runzhi doesn't want to see.
Reason told Qiao Runzhi that he and Dan'er should find a safe place to hide first, and wait for the storm to pass before discussing everything in the long run.
But his sensibility made him feel reluctant to let go of Wan Mo Luo to the maximum. He wanted to stay with Wan Mo Luo but hated that he couldn't carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands.
Wanmoluo saw that the atmosphere between the two of them had always been low due to his words. They must have realized the difficulty of the journey, and most of them wanted to make her feel more relaxed.
But now is not the time to decide to break up, Wanmoluo cleared his throat and said:
"Now we should think about how to escape first. We will talk about this matter after we get out safely."
So the three of them put their emotions away, made a simple plan, and then set off on horseback.
When Wanmoluo arrived at the place leaving the town on horseback, he was intercepted as expected.
Wan Mo Luo didn't waste any time, he raised his knife and chopped off the head of a disciple of Wan Du Sect.
The disciples of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect who reacted immediately fought with Wan Mo Luo. Once they fought, Wan Mo Luo discovered that the people here in the water town were only very junior disciples. Although they did not know what level they belonged to within the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, but
