The Tianjiao believers originally planned to come out from the east gate of the city, but now they came out with Zhang Zhe at the west gate of the city, and a small group of Tianjiao believers went to the east gate of the city before. Huang Qian could not help but secretly feel a little anxious. .
If it was as Zhang Zhe said before, those who went to the east gate of the city would be out of luck.
He waited for a while and didn't hear Zhang Zhe's answer, and he became more and more convinced that this person's identity was unusual, so he didn't dare to offend him. Someone came to meet him, but there is still no news from the people on the east side of the city. There is such a big incident tonight, and the city must not be calm. It is already late tonight, Master Zhang, all the sect members and the rest escaped together. My friend, why don't you wait with me to find a place to rest outside the city?"
To plan such a big action, the Heavenly Sect must have arranged someone to respond.
Everyone has no opinion.
The prisoners who escaped from the prison while taking advantage of the chaos were even brighter when they heard the words. Some people had a straightforward temperament and clasped their fists and said, "That's really what I want. I heard the name of the righteous priest, I thought it was a little boastful. , when I saw it today, I realized that what I said was true.
Tianjiao missionary, no one refuses to come.
There are ordinary people and merchants and hawkers who have joined the religion. Most of the farmers have lost their land and lost their income. There are also many tyrants in the green forest, and even bandits and gangsters who hate the imperial court are all among them.
It would be great if these death row prisoners who came out of the Heavenly Prison could join the Heavenly Sect.
Now that Zhang Zidao's identity has been revealed, the black scarf covering his face was removed. Hearing the words of gratitude from these prisoners, Huang Qian's face finally showed a smile.
Jiang Xuening also saw this man's face clearly at this moment.
He has an ordinary square face, but there is a scar on his brow, which adds a bit of Jianghu aura, and a pair of upside-down triangular eyes is a bit sharp, but he does seem to be a talker who is not low in the celestial sect.
Since everyone has agreed, Zhang Zhe has no more opinions.
The group then sneaked through the night.
There are many towns outside the capital, where many people live, but it is easy to be discovered. The Tianjiao side had already found a temporary foothold, and Huang Qian led the crowd all the way to the wild country ridge in the southwest.
At the end of Zi Shi, at the foot of a low hill in front of him, he finally saw a dilapidated temple with lamps. It is probably where the mountain people who lived here used to worship the mountain gods. The walls made of yellow mud have collapsed under the erosion of wind and rain, and the rotten door panels fell to the ground. shivering.
At first glance, it looks a little creepy.
But when you got closer, you could see that there were people shaking inside, and someone was cleaning it.
As soon as I heard the movement on the mountain road in front, a few figures came out under the shadow of the crumbling wall outside the temple. When I looked up, I saw that there were more people coming than I expected. Out?"
Huang Qian subconsciously glanced at Zhang Zhe behind and shook his head.
The man frowned slightly and said, "The people from the son's side haven't arrived yet. I'm afraid it will take a while. It's windy outside. Come and talk first."
After all, Jiang Xuening is also a lady of everyone. Even when she was with Wanniang in the past, she was not the kind of person who could endure hardships. The road she has come through is not short, and it can be called rugged and dangerous. There were several times when she almost fell. fall down.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhe watched over her all the way.
Although he didn't say a word, he immediately supported her, and the temperature of his hands was exchanged, and he felt extra relieved.
In order to fear that others would notice her, she endured all the way.
But at the moment of entering this dilapidated temple, Jiang Xuening finally did not hold back, took a breath, and the pain that he had held back came up from his feet, his legs were sore and weak, and he could not stand up, so He fell to the ground.
She was wearing Zhang Zhe's clothes.
Showing a little simplicity, simple and loose, when the person fell to the ground, the collar spread out a little, revealing the fair skin on the neck, and the corners of the eyes were dyed with water, a kind of pitiful embarrassment. Even Zhang Zhe had smeared her face in order to cover up, and having such a pair of smart eyes is enough to reveal her brilliance.
Fortunately, everyone else came in at this time, and when they suddenly arrived at such a temporarily safe place, they couldn't help but sigh in relief, and their behavior and shape were not much better than Jiang Xuening.
This dilapidated temple is leaking from all sides.
But for a momentary rest, it is enough.
Huang Qian went out to talk to those people, and the others spontaneously sat around the temple, some leaning against the foot of the wall, some leaning against the pillars, and most of them were desperadoes, so how could it be that the place was dirty or not? dirty
Always sit on the ground.
However, Zhang Zhe looked around, reluctantly found an old and still complete futon from under the collapsed incense case, put it on the ground, didn't even look at Jiang Xuening, just whispered: "The ground is cold, you sit here."
Jiang Xuening was already very tired, and he didn't even want to move his fingers, but when he heard what he said, he raised his eyes slightly and saw the profile of the man, which was half hidden in the shadows, thin and silent, with tight lips. Close, her lips are straight, as if she didn't say anything just now.
This is a person who is not good at words and does not like to express.
However, she just heard clearly.
So as if she felt the palm he held back outside the city gate, an extremely secret sweetness quietly emerged from the bottom of her heart. She was clearly in such a confusing and dangerous situation, but she actually tasted a trace of sweetness .
Jiang Xuening didn't say anything, looked at him with a blink of an eye, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he moved to sit on the futon that wasn't really clean.
Zhang Zhe remained silent.
He lowered his eyes and didn't respond to her gaze, he just pulled on the hem of his robe calmly, and sat cross-legged beside Jiang Xuening on the ground, he couldn't see any official air.
No one has come to worship this temple for a long time. Although there are walls around, most of them have cracks. The colorful paintings on the walls have long since lost their original colors, leaving only some dirty marks on them. On the front, there is an unrecognizable Buddha statue, but it also lost half of its head. It is not scary to look at, but rather funny.
The people who received the sect have already cleaned up here.
A commoner woman with her hair in a bun was carrying a basket of cooking cakes at the moment, and a teenage boy with a sky-high braid carried a kettle in one hand and a few stoneware bowls in the other, and walked from the outside. Come in.
"Are you all tired?"
The woman was slightly fat, her face was dark, and her hands were stretched out rather rough. It could be seen that she was from an ordinary family who worked in the fields on weekdays.
"I couldn't find anything else to eat in this big night. This is a home-made pancake. It can barely fill my stomach. Please don't dislike it."
Getting out of the prison, running for life, nervous all the way, all the way to this place, who is not physically and mentally exhausted
When I was tense, I didn't feel it, but when I sat down and relaxed, I felt the hunger in my belly.
At such a time, there is actually a delivery of cooking cakes, which is really a timely rain.
For a time, there were voices of thanks all around, and some people sighed that Tianjiao was thoughtful and loyal.
The woman brought food to the crowd, and the teenage boy poured water for the crowd.
The child is as thin and thin as the monkey spirit, but has a round head, big eyes, and an ageless cleverness in the movements of his hands and feet, and he smiles very cheerfully.
He opened his mouth and called "this big brother", which made this group of people feel very comfortable.
It's just that they prepared in a hurry. Although there is water, the bowl is not enough. Fortunately, everyone is a nonchalant person who travels from south to north. It's not a big deal if you drink water in the same bowl and take it over.
However, when it came to Jiang Xuening, it was a little embarrassing.
First, the woman handed over the pancakes.
Jiang Xuening took it.
The woman didn't pay attention at first, but when Jiang Xuening stretched out her hand to take the cake, she saw the white piece of her exposed wrist, and her expression became stunned, but she didn't say anything, just smiled at her slightly.
Jiang Xuening felt that this woman should see that she was a daughter, and felt a little embarrassed. She hurriedly retracted her hand into the wide sleeve robe, and took a small bite of the cooking cake.
The boy followed and poured water.
The bowl in his hand has been used by others before.
Jiang Xuening was not very hungry, but was a little thirsty. Looking at the bowl where the water was poured, he hesitated. Just as she bit her lip slightly and was about to summon the courage to reach out to pick it up, a hand next to her reached out before her and took the bowl.
The child was stunned for a moment and turned to look.
It was Zhang Zhe sitting next to Jiang Xuening.
He didn't speak, just wiped the edge of the bowl with the water in the bowl, then poured out the water, then took the kettle from the child's hand and rinsed off the residue before returning to the Pour water into the bowl and hand it to Jiang Xuening.
Jiang Xuening couldn't help being stunned.
Memories of the previous life easily flashed back to my mind.
Or they were attacked.
The two of them escaped by then, all they took with them was a water bladder untied from the broken-legged horse.
When she was thirsty, she undid the water bladder and drank water directly.
Then when she stopped and raised her head, she saw Zhang Zhe staring at her, as if she had something to say, but she didn't have time to say it.
At first she didn't care.
The two searched for the mountain road and walked forward. Jiang Xuening stopped to drink water twice, and did not forget to hand Zhang Zhe the water bag and asked him if he was thirsty. But the man with the stereotype written on his face just silently took the water bag and plugged it in without taking a sip.
Jiang Xuening only said that he was not thirsty.
But when the sun came up and she turned her head to see his chapped lips by chance, she raised her eyebrows and thought about it carefully, deliberately took the water bag again and took a sip.
Then stared at him and smiled playfully.
She said, "It was Ben Gong who drank it and touched his lips, so you dare not drink it?"
Zhang Zhe lowered his eyes in front of her, neither approaching nor looking back, still with a cautious and restrained appearance, and said: "The superior and inferior, the ruler and the minister are different, please don't joke."
Jiang Xuening then gave birth to a bit of resentment.
She just wasn't used to Zhang Zhe like this. After thinking about it, she made an "oh" sound, deliberately lengthened her tone, walked around him two steps, and said, "The superior and inferior, the ruler and the minister are different, say It sounds good. Then why didn't Master Zhang tell this palace just now that this water bag belongs to you, and that you drank it before?"
What was Zhang Zhe's expression at that time
He probably changed his face slightly.
Jiang Xuening only remembered that he slowly closed his eyes and clasped his hands together in his sleeves, but he couldn't see what was going on inside. offend."
She drank the water bladder he drank.
This alone makes this person uneasy, like suffering.
This undoubtedly gave Jiang Xuening an unprecedented fun of teasing. Of course, she knew that Zhang Zhe didn't say it before because she had already drank it, and secondly, because they only had this water bladder. But she wanted to tease him, handed him a water bag and he wouldn't drink it, so she deliberately drank it in front of him, and then looked at him and observed his subtle feelings that were not very affectionate.
As if the offended person was him.
So I thought, I heard that this person doesn't even have a concubine.
It was not until later, when she walked through this mountain and found the water source, that her fun was over.
Now, another bowl of water is handed to him.
The places where others have touched it have been carefully cleaned.
This man with a rigid face is actually very meticulous and thoughtful, and he is very good at taking care of others.
Thinking about it, Jiang Xuening didn't know what demonic barrier he had in his last life, but he was willing to play tricks on him and belittle him. When he raised his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a little mist on the bottom of his eyes.
She stared at him, just about to take the bowl.
Not wanting that Zhang Zhafang's actions have fallen into the eyes of others, a rough-looking man actually laughed when he saw it: "It's all the old men who have a drink of water and wipe the bowl, so coy and a mother. Like children!"
Zhang Zha rolled his eyes and didn't answer.
When Jiang Xuening heard this, she felt that a cluster of flames in her heart immediately rose up and burned a prairie prairie.
There was a distance in the middle, and it hurt a little when the cake hit Ren's face.
The man didn't expect that his laugh would cause this incident. When he was hit, he was stunned for a moment, and then his anger came up. However, when he raised his head, he met a pair of delicate but cold eyes. The smell came out from the depths of his pupils, and even faintly overflowed with a bit of surly. A gust of cold wind blew past the entrance of the temple, causing him to shiver!
The anger was instantly frightened back most of the time.
You must know that many of the people present came out of the heavenly prison, killing people and stealing goods, and doing bad things. The appearance looks dirty and thin, and the appearance is unremarkable. He is a ruthless character. It is better to endure a moment than to provoke a bad star.
The man did not dare to curse back.
Jiang Xuening's anger still hasn't subsided. When she was about to speak, a hand stretched out from below and held her arm firmly.
Zhang Zhe looked up at her and said calmly, "Drink water."
The bowl of water was still in his hands, and it didn't spill out.
After all, this is not the time to fight for this breath, not to mention that it may not be a good fight. Jiang Xuening swallowed this breath, sat down again, lowered his eyebrows, took the bowl from his hand with both hands, and drank it in small sips. water.
The bowl was huge, but her face was as small as a slap.
When he bowed his head, his face was buried in the bowl, like a deer stopping by a mountain stream to drink slowly.
Zhang Zhe looked at it, and his heart softened.
There was silence in the temple for a while.
The man muttered a few words to himself, then glanced at Zhang Zhe again, remembering the scene at the gate of the city, he was expected to have a good status in the celestial religion, and he didn't dare to have any opinions, so he had to pretend that nothing happened. , sullenly eating cakes.
It was a unkempt man in the shadow of the corner, his eyes fell on Jiang Xuening through the messy hair, thoughtful.
