The days that followed seemed to be traveling in darkness every day.
The person is already blind. Although it is inconvenient, it also saves a lot of trouble. I don’t even think about escaping. Qi Muge obviously knows it, so he is not harsh on me. Sometimes when I stop and rest, I even get out of the car and walk around, and move my muscles and bones that are sore and soft.
And I listened, the wind and snow gradually became smaller.
Of course, it is because of the journey south. Although I was in the capital, I saw heavy snow and howling north wind in winter there, but the environment was much better than the vast snowfields.
However, the environment we are in is not good.
Dongzhou has been fully obtained by the Iron Cavalry King. Although I am afraid that the news of my captive disappearance has not been able to be transmitted from Shengjing, there are his men everywhere here. In order not to attract attention, Qi Muge does not follow the main roads, but he never stops in crowded places.
In this way, our lives become extremely simple. Sometimes we even walk a long way, and we can't drink a sip of hot water, and the food we eat is just dry and hard cakes.
However, I never complained, and I still drank the cold water, and tried my best to swallow the hard and hard cakes.
Only in this way can we do our best to maintain our soberness and basic health.
On this day, we are about to arrive in Texas.
This place is the junction of the two forces. The wood grid became more and more careful. He didn't even move during the day. He only parked the carriage in the inconspicuous woods in the suburbs. There was thick snow on the roof. It was not until the evening that they cleared the snow and began to move forward while the dark sky was shrouded.
Every time the wheel of the carriage hit the cold and hard ground, I guessed in my heart that we were a little closer to the capital.
Now I just don’t know what the situation will be like there.
Because I was still moving during the day, I got a long and quiet sleep. At this time, I was particularly awake, and even the sound of heavy snow falling on the roof of the car could be heard.
As I walked, I heard a sound of horse hooves coming from afar.
Moreover, there seems to be quite a lot of people.
Qi Muge heard it soon, and he hurriedly got up and moved to the window. I vaguely heard him murmuring: "So quickly..."
Then, I lifted the curtain and looked out, and a gust of cold wind immediately blew in with the snow, making me tremble with cold.
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer.
However, just as the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer to us and was almost about to walk in front of us, Qimuge suddenly said to himself: "Oh no!"
As soon as the words were finished, the sound of horse hooves had stopped in front of them.
And the carriage was forced to stop.
Some people were talking in front of him, and one of them said loudly: "Whose carriage is it so late?"
As soon as I heard this, I immediately understood.
It's patrol.
This place is actually not a highway. If there are no patrol teams on weekdays, they would come here. However, during the previous battle in Dongzhou, Texas was close to the battlefield, so naturally they had to be strictly guarded. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are such patrol teams at night.
And it sounds like there are quite a lot of people.
I obviously heard Qi Muge's breathing sound a little messed up.
I have heard these days that in addition to him, there are probably two people accompanying him. On weekdays, they are driving the carriage alternately. In order not to attract attention, there are probably not so many people at all. There are only these people in our group.
If you encounter such a large patrol team, you are afraid they will suffer a loss.
I felt his breathing tight and his whole body was in extreme tension, as if he was about to pounce on me and do something to me the next moment, but at this time, if he really wanted to pounce on me and do something, it would be too late.
Because the people outside had already walked slowly around the carriage on horseback.
Someone has asked, "Who is inside?"
The person who drove the bus outside was also a little nervous, and coughed before saying, "Yes, it's our wife."
"lady?"
After hearing this, the people outside said in confusion: "What are you doing when you are so late?"
"Hurry back home."
“Where did it come from?”
"Dongzhou."
"Just just finished the war, so chaotic, how dare you come out so late?"
"This is why I'm so anxious."
The patrolers outside did not speak, but the atmosphere became more and more tense as their horse hooves grew closer. I felt one of them rode his horse to the window, aiming at the curtains in the carriage, and said, "You said that it was your wife inside, let's take a look."
"this--"
"How do we know if what you are saying is true? Now the battles are fighting like that, and there are so many things to do, we can't be careless."
“…”
"Let's see who is inside?"
Listening to these people's speech, I felt that Qi Muge's breathing had stopped, and his whole body was as tense as a bow.
If they encounter this situation in normal times, they may fight with the outsiders, and it would be fine if they kill those people, but now they are taking me with them, and the other hand, there are many patrol teams outside. If they really fight, they are afraid of the danger.
This situation obviously made him a little tricky.
What he was even more worried about was probably me. If I shouted at this time, or told the truth when those people were interrogating, they would not be able to hide.
At this moment, although there was wind and snow outside, the atmosphere inside the car seemed to be condensed.
In fact, it was only a short moment, but for each of us, this period seemed a bit difficult, especially those patrolling outside, who were suspicious of every little mistake. Sure enough, when they felt the movement in the car, the people outside said loudly: "What's going on? Why haven't you come out yet?"
“…”
"Who is the one in your carriage?"
At this time, I heard a very thin, almost inaudible sharp sound coming from the other side of the wood grid beside me, with some harshness.
Although I can't see it, after so much, I'm already very familiar with this sound.
It is the sound of sharp weapons such as swords slowly pulling out of the sheath.
This sound naturally means that there will be a bloody battle next.
And the people outside almost approached our car window and said, "If we don't get off again, we're welcome!"
