The sky is thundering, and the rain is pouring down.

Through the miserable white light of the silver-white lightning that passed by from time to time, Xiao Lan saw the resolute and confident brilliance that flashed in Xiong Chen's eyes, although his face was temporarily thinner, the curves were very harmonious, and he looked like a sunny vitality.

Xiao Lan looked at the almost perfect face stupidly, and proudly thought-------My brother Xiong Chen is a beautiful man!"

Xiong Chen greeted Xiao Lan's eyes and smiled slightly, although this smile was in the bitter wind and rain, it was also full of warmth. Xiao Lan's heart instantly warmed up, Brother Xiong Chen was right, we are still young, Brother Xiong Chen is seventeen years old, I am fourteen years old, how high is the mountain outside, how clear the water is, and how fragrant the flowers are...... I don't know that now I am mechanically numb all day long doing work that can never be done, drinking cold water, nibbling on hard steamed buns, and living a difficult and difficult life...... Why don't we find a way to escape and find a little world of our own?

In Jiudao Villa, we are like a humble ant, those masters can pinch us into powder with a finger press, but I came to the world this time, just to let others pinch me into powder?

No!

They are all born to my father, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, fingers and toes, I have no shortage like Brother Xiong Chen, why can they live a drunken and gold-obsessed life, while we have to be whipped and labored?

In the future, Brother Xiong Chen and I can live freely, no matter how hard and tired we are, it is the business of the two of us, and we don't have to be bullied and trampled on by others, how good it is!

Xiao Lan seemed to have a small wooden house in front of her, there were several depressions of vegetable fields in front of the house, the fields were full of green cabbage, a few big red-crowned roosters were pecking insects in the grass next to them, and Brother Xiong Chen was carrying a newly hunted goat back from the path, and he ...... He was sitting under the eaves with a newborn child in his arms and basking in the sun.

"Ah, what a beautiful day!" Xiao Lan closed her eyes and sighed pleasantly.

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan. Are you sleepy?"

Xiao Lan opened her eyes, her face was already red with shame, fortunately the night was thick, and Brother Xiong Chen didn't see it.

"How do we escape? We don't even know which direction the gate of the villa opens!"

"Do you see the lake over there? That is the back mountain, the gold mine is on the other side of the mountain, what we see now is the back side of the mountain, during this time, there are frequent accidents in the mine, and the owner does not dare to dig deeper, basically in a state of shutdown, today everyone is busy with the little boy's 100-day banquet, those leaders are full and drunk, naturally they will not go up the mountain to patrol, and the slaves do not have the courage to come out and wander around, Xiaolan, as long as we swim across the lake and go up the back mountain, we can follow the mountain road out of the sphere of influence of Jiudao Villa. ”

Xiao Lan listened silently, she raised her hand to wipe the rain from Xiong Chen's face, and said, "Can you walk out from the back mountain?"

Xiong Chen nodded.

"I explored the road, although I didn't completely go out of the mountain, but the back mountain is very big, the forest is very dense, even if we can't get out of the mountain for the time being, it doesn't matter, we can go along the mountain road to the inside, the mountain will always have an end, as long as it is farther and farther away from the gold mine, it is farther and farther away from Jiudao Mountain Villa. ”

"Isn't there anyone patrolling the mountain?"

"There are mountains on the other side of the gold mine, and the mountains on the other side of the lake are very remote, and I have walked through them several times, but I have not met any living people, and there are many small beasts in them, and we will not go hungry. ”

"You've already been through it several times, why don't you take the opportunity to leave here and come back for what? Brother Xiong Chen, you're so stupid!"

"I'm going to take you away, let's go together!"

Xiao Lan sniffed, and the sour feeling spread from her heart.

"I ...... I can't swim, you take me with you, it will only drag you down, back then you could have stayed in the village and lived unrestrained, but for me, you were trafficked to Jiudao Villa to suffer, and now you have the opportunity to escape, you run away, don't worry about me...... Really, if you really want you to live well, my heart will be happy. ”

I heard them say that seven years ago, there was a slave who couldn't stand it and wanted to escape, and before he got out of the courtyard of the West Chamber, he dragged back the wolf dog raised by the housekeeper, and he was bitten and turned into a mess of flesh and blood.

I've dragged you down once, how can I drag you down again?

If you want to go, you go by yourself, go far, and you will break through the sea and sky.

And I, I can only stay here and pray for you.

The green tendons on Xiong Chen's forehead bulged, and there was a fire burning in his heart: "Xiaolan, what nonsense are you talking about? I was willing to be sold here, I just want to stay by your side, I said that I would take care of you for the rest of my life." ”

The rain fell on his face and meandered down. His chest is rising and falling slightly, you girl, after so many years, you still can't see a piece of my heart for you?

The thunder sounded, and his voice was like a huge thunder in the sky, buzzing in Xiao Lan's ears-----

"Let's go together!. If you go far, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, build a house, grow vegetables and raise chickens in the open space in front of the house...... Okay, okay?"

“......”

"Okay?"

"Okay, but I ......"

Xiaolan looked at Xiong Chen stupidly, you are so good, with you by my side, no matter how hard and tired I am, I can get through it, but you don't belong here, you have suffered for many years for me, and now you have the opportunity to regain your freedom, you should leave immediately and find a better future for you.

"Brother Xiong Chen, thank you for taking care of me in the past six years, it's not that I don't want to go with you, but ...... I really can't swim, how can I get there? This lake is very wide, and it takes you half an hour to swim there alone, so how can you take me? So that neither of us can walk, so it is better for you to leave here safely than this. ”

Xiong Chen raised his eyebrows, separated the bangs stuck to Xiao Lan's forehead, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are worried about this, I have already thought about it, I will attach you to a log with a rope later, I will push you to swim over, don't be afraid, as long as you hold the log with both hands, the rest is Xiong Chen's brother's business." ”

"Won't the wood sink?"

"What is the ship made of?"

"Wood. ”

"That's right, as long as you hold on to the wood obediently and don't move, then it's fine. ”

"Ah, then you're so good, why didn't I think of it?"

"Hehe, you don't have to think about these, I think it's enough, you still want to think about what kind of fancy embroidery on our curtains in the future!"

"I don't know how to embroider, I can only do laundry, cook, sweep the floor, feed the pigs......"

"You can learn slowly, and the years will be long, are you afraid that you won't be able to learn?"

"Good. ”

The rain tickled on the leaves.

"Xiaolan, you lean on me, rest for a while, and when the rain is light, we will cross the lake. ”

"The water in the lake is very cold, you have to endure it, I hid a few clothes and dry food on the other side of the mountain, as long as you cross the lake, everything will be fine. ”

Xiao Lan snorted, the rain was very heavy, although there were dense leaves to cover it, the rain still fell through the gaps in the leaves: "Okay, Brother Xiong Chen, I listen to you, but are there any big fish eating people in the lake? I'm so scared." ”

"Haha, there are no man-eating fish, but there are two fish-eaters, I'll catch two fish ashore later, let's grill the fish and eat it, okay?"

"Grilled fish...... It smells so good!"
