Chapter 283 Disfigurement
The house where Wu Xin and Qiao Wenlian live is locked. Unless someone unlocks the lock from outside, they cannot escape at all.
The window was nailed, but there was still a gap. In the dark night, moonlight penetrated through the gap, as if pointing out a road to freedom.
The two were speechless.
There was no sound outside, but the sound of footsteps soon sounded again, and the window paper was covered with shadows, and someone was walking towards this side.
Someone was unlocking the lock, and Wu Xin and Qiao Wenlian were hiding by the door. Although they were locked up here, their luggage was still around.
At this time, they each held a square of inkstone.
It was an object they used to using. They thought they would take it into the examination room and walk into the palace from the examination. They never expected that one day, the inkstone used by scholars would become their only weapon to protect themselves.
The door opened, and Dalang Xu and Dalang who came in were Dad Xu.
The house was dark, and Mr. Xu and Xu Dalang came in from a place with lamps and did not adapt to the darkness for a while.
Mr. Xu was about to ask Xu Dalang to come over to get a lamp, but he got a punch on his head. Xu Dalang had one foot in the door and the other foot outside the door. Before he could react, he got a punch on his head.
The two fell down without even shouting.
Qiao Wenlian and Wu Xin dragged them under the bed. They had no experience and didn't even bother to see whether the two of them were dead or alive. They just wanted to run away.
Wu Xin even wanted to take his two beloved lake pens, but Qiao Wenlian forced him out of the house.
The two of them closed the door and went to climb the wall.
There was dew at night and the wall was slippery. The two of them were originally scholars with no power to tie up. Although the wall was not high, the two still slid down. At this moment, the closed door was pushed open, and Xu Dalang stumbled out: "Come, come, come!"
Qiao Wenlian and Wu Xin were so scared that they didn't know where they got their strength? They finally climbed up to the wall in one go? When they jumped down, they heard someone shouting: "Where are they on the wall? Go out and intercept them!"
Qiao Wenlian and Wu Xin almost rolled down from the wall, and they ran in one direction like headless flies? The gate of the yard was opened, and the ruffian godsons chased after him.
Under the moonlight? Qiao Wenlian and Wu Xin ran all the way? Finally ran out of Bangzi Hutong.
There is a well house at the corner, where the people from Bangzi Hutong and Tieguo Hutong are all fetching water in this well.
Wu Xin pointed to the direction of the well and said to Qiao Wenlian panting: "Let's run separately? I'll go there to hide? I'm good at water, you go elsewhere."
Qiao Wenlian also realized that the two of them had to separate at this time so that they could distract those people from their attention.
He patted Wu Xin on the shoulder: "There will be no future!"
What he said was that there would be no future. At this time, the young Wu Xin finally realized that the danger had arrived.
They can't go back!
Whether they were caught by these ruffians behind them? Or by Feiyuwei, they could not go back.
"There will be no future!"
Wu Xin ran towards the well house? And Qiao Wenlian also ran in the other direction.
Qiao Wenlian was lucky to have turned two more turns? It was almost dawn and he smelled the stinking smell from afar.
I was parked next to the donkey cart carrying Ye Xiang? But the person driving the cart was not there? I thought that no one would steal the stinky donkey cart? I hid aside and took a nap. After all, every household had not taken Ye Xiang out at this time.
Qiao Wenlian could no longer run, and the people were about to catch up soon. He gritted his teeth, lifted the lid of a feces bucket, and jumped in!
The manure bucket was still empty, but the smell was unforgettable for him.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Qiao Wenlian felt that he was about to faint the next moment, the donkey cart moved slowly, and he breathed a sigh of relief. In a vague way, he heard the driver curse: "You lazy donkey, you are still walking so slowly in the empty car."
The person who pulled the cart was a donkey, and the donkey knew that there was one more person in the cart.
After walking a few more streets, people opened the door one after another and took out Yexiang.
While the driver was driving to collect Yexiang, Qiao Wenlian came out of the dung bucket. Fortunately, there were no one on the street. Qiao Wenlian walked for a while and simply tore up her clothes, grabbed a handful of black and gray on the ground and smeared it on his face. His body was smelly, and now he looked more like a beggar.
In this way, he walked all the way to the city gate, but when he arrived at the city gate, he realized that the portrait of the three of them had been posted in front of the city gate!
They went to the sea capture document!
The Feiyu Guard and the flag bearer guards checked one by one. Qiao Wenlian saw four or five beggars walking over and were ordered to lift their hair like weeds, check with the people in the portrait one by one, and confirmed that it was not, so he released the beggars out of the city.
Qiao Wenlian left quietly. After thinking about it, he finally thought of a place.
He went to Guangji Temple.
Guangji Temple is not a royal temple, so its management is not so strict. Because there is a huge incense there, beggars begging for pilgrims, both inside and outside the temple. The monks are compassionate and do not drive away these people. Sometimes they even give them some dry food.
Qiao Wenlian stayed in Guangji Temple for more than a month. He went in during the day and slept in the forest outside Guangji Temple at night. At noon, the monks of Guangji Temple would give some vegetarian cakes to beggars. Real beggars actually don’t want to eat food. They ask for money. Therefore, when Qiao Wenlian went to get vegetarian cakes, the beggars did not compete with him. He was also lucky. Beggars in other places often fought for snatching territory, but Qiao Wenlian never encountered such a thing when he was in Guangji Temple.
Once, Qiao Wenlian saw two young men coming to the temple with his father. The father was covered in scars. It turned out that the father accidentally fell on the stove at home. A large pot of water was burning on the stove. His face was burned. It was very hot at that time. The two sons came to Guangji Temple to burn incense and ask the Bodhisattva to bless his father to recover as soon as possible. Although his appearance has been completely destroyed, he has become safe. Therefore, the father and son came to Guangji Temple to fulfill their wishes.
The father also said to a pilgrim: "I am a man, and this face will be ruined. As long as my wife and children still know me, it doesn't matter."
Qiao Wenlian's heart moved when he heard this.
Yes, he is not a woman who cares about her appearance. As long as his wife and daughter don’t dislike him, that’s enough.
What's more, if he could return to his hometown, he might be able to reunite with his wife and daughter.
So Qiao Wenlian quietly walked into the stove where the monks boiled water and poured the whole pot of boiling water on his face...
Although the monk also treated him, Qiao Wenlian was worried that it was suspicious and quietly left Guangji Temple before the scalds on his face healed.
Therefore, the scars on his face were particularly serious, and even after five years, they did not fade at all.
