Chapter Thirty-Seven
The autumn wind jumped up to the treetops from time to time, and as soon as my feet landed, I felt the ground tremble a little.
This is by no means an illusion.
He frowned and looked around, holding the handle of the knife in his hand.
This doesn't look like an earthquake, it looks like...
The thought flashed and his eyes suddenly widened.
my God!
Qiu Feng ran a few steps quickly and jumped onto the treetops not far away. He watched as dozens of horses passed by like crazy.
There are a lot of horses in the general's mansion. Firstly, General Gu likes them, and secondly, the second master of the Gu family often goes out to do business, pull a cart and so on.
Gu Qingxue also likes to ride horses out of the city when she has nothing to do, and her favorite little red horse is among them.
Qiu Feng refused to leave now and quickly followed behind the horses.
The horses were running wildly, but this was a back house, not a pasture, so they would inevitably trample on other things.
More than a dozen horses galloped at the same time, with amazing power.
Two people came running panting from a distance, neither of them had any clothes on.
"Horse...horse..."
Qiu Feng guessed that this should be the groom.
He thought for a while and couldn't let these two people spoil the show.
With a flick of his finger, two pebbles were shot out, hitting the ankles of the two cart drivers.
The two fell down with an "ouch".
It was impossible to catch up with the horses in the first place, and now it was even more hopeless.
The autumn wind blew through the treetops, following the horses all the way, and saw them breaking into Gu Qingxue's yard.
This route... is the same as Gu Yunyao's.
Qiu Feng secretly wondered, what method did that cunning woman use?
The woman in charge of guarding the door of Gu Qingxue's courtyard had just locked the door and was yawning, planning to go into the house and sleep.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, I heard a loud sound outside.
The two looked at each other: "What's the sound?"
"It sounded like the sound of horse hooves."
"Don't talk nonsense, where is the sound of horse hooves coming from at this hour?"
"That's right..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud noise, and the courtyard door was knocked away. Half of the door panel flew into the air, fell in the courtyard, and landed on a water tank with a "snap".
The lotus leaves emerging from the water tank were curling and swaying in the night wind. They were flattened by the door panel falling from the sky, which made the two women have toothaches.
But this was nothing. The horses rushed to the yard and went to the flower beds, where they lowered their heads, snorted, and ate flowers and grass.
The two women were stunned, and just as they were about to shout, the horse, which had not grabbed the flowers and grass, had already rushed to the foot of the tree and to the water tank.
The water shortage was knocked over, the lotus inside was trampled into mud, and the whole yard was in a mess.
The mother-in-law felt that her breathing had stopped, her voice was stuck in her throat and she could not scream. The scene before her was truly unprecedented in her life.
This sound had already alarmed Gu Qingxue. She had just finished taking a bath and was admiring herself in front of the mirror. Zi Xing also accompanied her and said complimentary words.
Hearing the movement in the yard, Gu Qingxue was shocked and scared: "What's wrong?"
Zi Xing smiled slightly: "Miss, don't worry, I will take a look."
She went to the window and was about to open it to take a look when the window was knocked down half way.
The splintered wood flew past her forehead, immediately leaving a bloody mark. Half of the window hit her shoulder, knocking her back several steps, and her lower back hit the edge of the table.
The change happened so quickly, just in the blink of an eye.
Gu Qingxue didn't even see what was going on, and Zi Xing was knocked to the table.
She looked at the window again in shock. Her little red horse stuck its head in, and in a fit of anger, it gnawed everything clean on the window sill, on the couch under the window, and on the small table.
Gu Qingxue was simply dumbfounded. She then looked into the yard through the window. Not only her little red horse, but also more than a dozen horses were there, humping, running, trampling, squeezing, and running around like crazy.
The maids and women in her yard screamed and ran away in all directions, but they didn't know where to go. They were like headless flies.
"Ah!" Gu Qingxue screamed belatedly. The little red horse and another horse had already entered the house and stretched their necks towards her, with their big fangs at the side of her face.
Gu Qingxue never knew that horses could be so scary. She kept hiding behind her: "Come here, come here! Help, help..."
Her voice was full of tears, but now that everyone is in trouble, who would care to save her?
The little red horse was running around in the room, and Gu Qingxue was so frightened that she pushed Zi Xing in front of her.
There was a "click" sound.
"Ah!" Zi Xing screamed.
The leg was broken.
The autumn wind hissed on the roof.
The movement in Gu Qingxue's yard quickly alerted the second lady.
At first, the second lady thought that Gu Qingxue was in a mood again, and she was so angry that her heart hurt.
She had been reprimanded several times by the old lady in the past two days. Apart from anything else, the face of being the matron of the house was completely lost.
Not only did he tolerate his anger like this, but his daughter was always causing trouble.
Aunt Tian tried hard to persuade her before she decided to take a rest.
Before I lay down, I heard some noise and quickly asked Grandma Tian to go take a look.
Not long after, Grandma Tian came back in panic, her tone of voice changed.
I quickly went to Gu Qingxue's yard. Before I reached the gate, I saw a mess in front of the yard. The gate was flying.
The second lady's heart felt cold: "Quick, hurry up and call the groom. There are also government soldiers coming."
"But madam, this is the back house..."
"Why are you talking about this now! Stop the horse first and then talk about it."
"Yes Yes."
Not long after, the gong was struck and torches lit up half of the night sky.
The old lady was already half-lying down, leaning against the head of the bed, playing with the green bottle Gu Yunyao gave her by the light.
This thing looks better under the light, it's crystal clear, and it can cast light spots on the wall. It's really beautiful.
It's just always cold.
While I was playing with it, I heard the sound of gongs outside and faint shouts.
She frowned and asked, "What's going on outside?"
Hui'er replied through the bed curtain: "Old madam, I don't know, so I'll just go out and have a look."
The old lady put the bottle in the box and put it away, sat up again, and waited for the news.
Not long after, Hui'er walked in quickly: "Back to the old lady, it's the soldiers and the groom who are going to the third lady's yard."
The old lady immediately darkened her face: "Damn! How can a young lady who has not left the cabinet let those people enter the hospital? What on earth is she going to do? Go and ask the second lady to take a look!"
"Go back to the old lady. The second lady is over there. It's the person the second lady called."
The old lady became even more angry: "It's really inexplicable. Could it be that Mr. Ruan has also lost his mind? This late at night is really hard to calm down."
"Go and have a look and call them over."
Before Hui'er left the house, a woman ran in in a panic: "Old lady, it's not good. For some reason, the horses in the stable were frightened. Now there are many horses coming towards the yard!"
The old lady was startled: "What? The horses were frightened? Why is this?"
"I still don't know why. Oh, old lady, go hide somewhere else first!"
As the mother-in-law said, she put on her shoes and took her coat.
The old lady didn't even turn her head. She had lived in the mansion for so many years and had never encountered such a thing.
Hide? Where to hide?
Before leaving the house, I heard a commotion and screaming outside.
