When the two children saw the smoke, they were immediately excited, and their physical strength, which had been exhausted at first, suddenly recovered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

They immediately quickened their pace and ran towards the place where the smoke was wafting.

But as soon as he took two steps, a huge mountain rock appeared in front of him. Both children's strength was exhausted in the river, and their bodies were in a state of overdraft, and they could no longer jump in the face of the boulder. The two of them could not climb over the boulder little by little.

Finally, I passed the boulder. Ahead of them was a sparse grove, and looking down the hill through the interlaced branches of the forest, they saw a small village.

By this time the sky had begun to darken, and the setting sun had shrouded the village in a golden light. As far as the eye can see, there is a field in the distance of the village, and there are still figures busy in the field.

Liu Shuangli pulled the boy to speed up his steps, walked out of the woods, and came to a farmhouse on the edge of the mountain forest.

This is a very poorly built ordinary farmhouse courtyard, in front of the courtyard hut, looking inside, the furnishings in the house are also very poor.

In the left corner of the courtyard, there was a crackling sound of dry wood bursting in the fire. The two approached and saw that it was a stove room, and a peasant woman was busy by the stove.

Liu Shuangli saw it, and asked Qin Siyang to wait outside, while he walked into the kitchen carefully, and politely greeted her when the peasant woman was busy.

This is an ordinary peasant woman with a slightly tall figure, who was suddenly greeted by a stranger from behind, and couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly turned her head to look at the door. I saw that he was just an older child in his early teens, wearing men's clothes, with a very delicate face, and he didn't look like an ordinary peasant child. The peasant woman couldn't help but be stunned, and asked aloud, "Child, is there anything wrong with you?"

"Auntie, excuse me. Liu Shuangli said pitifully, "My younger brother and I had to flee here because of the disaster at home. Well, everything I could eat from home was all the day before. Daddy said we should go and find my uncle, but my uncle's house is far away. Now we've been hungry for a day and a night, and we haven't found anything to eat......"

The peasant woman was stunned when she heard this, and saw that Liu Shuangli said pitifully, and looked at her delicate face, she was really hungry and cold, it couldn't be fake, she couldn't help sighing, nodded and said: "Hey, the world is uneven, and now there is no disaster or difficulty in anyone's family." Come in, the eldest lady has spread some more bread today, and the family can't come back with the child into the city, and I can't finish it as a woman, so I'll give it to you. ”

After the peasant woman finished speaking, she walked to the side and took a few pieces of dough on the steamed rice and handed them to Liu Shuangli.

Liu Shuangli took the dough cake, bent down and thanked the peasant woman with a smile, then turned around and walked out of the house to call Qin Siyang, and handed him a piece of the dough cake he begged for.

The peasant woman has the simple nature of the traditional working people, and it is strange to look at the late day and think that these two children fled hungry again. I thought it would be okay to beckon them into the house and sit down, and maybe stay at home for a night or two. I just think that they are all people who are living hard, so I can help some.

Therefore, seeing that Liu Shuangli ran out, she simply cleaned up the kitchen and walked out, looking at the two poor children with a smile.

Liu Shuangli and Qin Siyang had been hungry for two days, and as soon as they took the dough, they really saw a savior, and they ate it regardless of it. They all ate too quickly, and they choked on it after a few bites, and coughed one after another.

"Hey, it's a child, I don't pay attention to it at all. Eat slowly, no one will rob you, come, I'll bring you a bowl of water. The peasant woman turned back to the house, and in a short time she came out with two bowls of water.

"Come, don't be in such a hurry, drink saliva to moisten your throat. The peasant woman smiled and handed the water to the two children, and beckoned, "Don't stand outside, come into the house and sit." ”

Liu Shuangli took the water with a smile and said a few polite words to the housewife.

When the peasant woman saw that the eldest child was well-behaved and sensible, she sighed in her heart that the world was unfair. handed another bowl to Qin Siyang, but as soon as Qin Siyang raised his head, the peasant woman was stunned for a moment when she saw his face.

"You...... Child...... You ......" The peasant woman pointed at Qin Siyang, so frightened that she couldn't even make sense of what she said for a long time.

Suddenly pointed at the peasant woman, and because they had just escaped from death, the hearts of the two children instinctively beat wildly.

Liu Shuangli stepped forward and pulled Qin Siyang behind him to protect him, staring at the peasant woman vigilantly, and asked, "Auntie!"

The peasant woman was stunned, and was also frozen by the sudden defensive appearance of the two children, and after a while, she suppressed her frightened expression and asked in a trembling voice: "Children, you ...... How did you get here?"

Liu Shuangli was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer this question for a while. Qin Siyang, who was behind her, bit her lips tightly, trying to calm herself.

The peasant woman looked at the two children so defensively, and there must have been a lot of guesses in her heart.

Seeing that both of them were just children, the peasant woman didn't want to embarrass them, shook her head and said, "Two days ago, a few people dressed as officials suddenly broke into the village and searched for a boy everywhere. He also showed the portraits to the people in the village, and threatened that anyone who saw the boy would report it to the police immediately. If anyone who does not report the information, the whole family will be beheaded if they find out. No, there is still a portrait at the head of the village, which is very similar to you, a little baby. ”

When Liu Shuangli heard this, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed Qin Siyang.

It should really be thought that since that group of men in black has the ability to close the mountain and hunt down the boy, they must also have the ability to hunt down the boys in various villages and towns.

You really shouldn't just take Siyang out to see outsiders, Liu Shuangxuan was annoyed for a while.

However, listening to what the peasant woman said, "Report to the official, cut off the head of the whole family?" Liu Shuangxuan couldn't help but be shocked again, so the person who chased and killed the boy was still from the official family?

How much trouble did she find when she was hunted down by the government?

Although Liu Shuangxuan jumped wildly, he still took action to protect the boy.

After a stalemate for a while, I felt the boy's body tremble uncontrollably. Liu Shuangli gritted his teeth, no longer paid attention to the peasant woman, pulled Qin Siyang and walked out of the courtyard.

"Wait a minute, children, where are you going?" cried out the peasant woman when she saw the two children go away.

The two children heard the cry and walked faster.

"Listen to me, children, don't go to the city. The peasant woman came up and said, "Yesterday my family came back from the city and said that now there are portraits of this little brother everywhere in the city, saying that those who provide clues will be rewarded with silver." Well, the silver reward is still -- a thousand taels is so much. ”

The two children stopped, and at the same time turned to look at the peasant woman.

What is the concept of a 1,000-tael reward of silver? An ordinary family of four, as long as they have one tael, can live for more than half a year.

But in order to catch this boy, he actually shot a thousand taels, and the person who chased him was enough to get a book.

Seeing that the two children stopped, the peasant woman sighed lightly, and continued: "I also mentioned that there is a friend in his city who works as an errand in the yamen, and the former child suddenly received a sea fishing document from above, saying that not only is there a public reward for tracking, but the government has secretly sent many people to search for this baby. ”

The two children were shocked again, and they didn't want to go out to catch the paperwork.

"What does the sea fishing paper say?" Qin Siyang looked directly at the peasant woman with his eyes and asked sharply.

"Huh?" The peasant woman was shocked by the boy's sudden momentum, and she was so frightened that she couldn't answer for a while.

"I said what reason did they use to arrest me?" Qin Siyang ignored the peasant woman's fright, aggravated his tone, and then asked coldly.

"This—" The peasant woman looked at the boy in a daze, she was completely shocked by the boy's extremely age-inappropriate cold expression, and she couldn't reply for a long time.

Seeing that the peasant woman was shocked like this, Liu Shuangli hurriedly pulled Qin Siyang over, prompting him to slow down his momentum. He took two steps forward, softened his voice, and said, "Auntie, thank you for the reminder, my little brother and I know." ”

Qin Siyang ignored Liu Shuangli's reminder, took two steps forward, jumped in front of Liu Shuangli, approached the peasant woman, and asked again: "Let me ask you, what reason did they use to arrest me?"

"No—not a catch. The peasant woman finally came to her senses, and at the same time she also understood that the boy in front of her, who was chased everywhere, had such momentum, and was by no means an ordinary child. Although I don't know why he was chased by the government, but no matter how he is just a child, how can he really commit something? I think it must be caused by something else, hey, what a poor child, he has to suffer such a great crime at a young age. The peasant woman couldn't bear to think about it like this, so she explained to the boy, "Listen to what I said, what is written on the sea catch is, little brother, you are the little son of the governor's family, and you were suddenly robbed by unknown people three days ago. Now the government is looking around, also to save the son. ”

"Rob, save people, deceive people! These bastards are all talking nonsense, nonsense-" Qin Siyang suddenly shouted loudly, holding his head in his hands, tearing his already dirty hair in pain.

"Siyang-" Liu Shuangli saw that Qin Siyang suddenly screamed frantically, and was so frightened that he hurriedly rushed forward to hug him, but he didn't know how to open his mouth to comfort him. can only hold him silently and press his hand, so that the boy will not torture himself too much.

The peasant woman looked at the two children holding each other, sighed again, and guessed in her heart: This boy must be the son and brother of a rich and noble family. I often hear people say that those rich and powerful families will ignore their relatives for money and power. It's a vendetta against each other all day long, endlessly. This child, most of the time, is it because of this that he has been wantonly pursued? Hey, what an old child, he has to suffer like this, suffer like this, pitiful. The children of rich and noble families are not much better!

Thinking so, the peasant woman turned and went back to the kitchen, took the steamed bread, and plucked the corn cobs and pickles hanging on the wall. It's a pity that the family is poor and has no dried meat, and the peasant woman laments it. Although she had few things, she took out all the food she could from the kitchen, put it in a basket, and found a piece of oil to cover it.

Seeing that there was nothing to eat, the peasant woman walked out of the kitchen with a basket of food, and saw that the two children in the courtyard had calmed down, and walked out of the courtyard with their heads hanging their heads.

The peasant woman looked at it and sighed again, and when she saw that the two children had gone away, she hurriedly cried out, "Children, wait a minute." A few steps to catch up, came to the two children, handed the basket, and smiled lightly in the surprised eyes of the two children: "I wanted to leave the two babies at home for a few days, but my family took their son into the city, and they can't come back until tomorrow." I'm a woman, so it's inconvenient to keep people. Take this basket of food with you on the road. Now that the world is difficult, you are so young that you must take refuge and flee, but don't starve. ”

Hearing the peasant woman's kind words, and then looking at the basket of food she handed over, Liu Shuangli was full of anxiety for a while. Qin Siyang was even more stunned when he looked at it. The two children didn't know how to reply for a while.

"Take it, kid!" Seeing that the two children were just stunned and did not react, the peasant woman persuaded again, and forced the basket into Liu Shuangli's hand.

Liu Shuangli took the basket, bowed deeply to the peasant woman, and thanked him sincerely: "Auntie, thank you!"

The peasant woman smiled disapprenously: "Child, take care of yourself all the way!"

Liu Shuangli pulled Qin Siyang and bowed again, and after worshipping the kind peasant woman again, he didn't say more, turned around and walked out of the courtyard quickly, leaving the village without stopping.
