Chapter 12: Escape
At this moment, Xiao Ke ran in from outside, shouting happily: "Ah Niang, Ah Niang! We have something to eat! We don't have to go hungry again!"
The lady of the Shi family hurriedly grabbed Xiao Ke and asked, "Xiao Ke, what are you talking nonsense? Isn't there some evil cult that has fallen into it?"
Xiao Ke shook off his mother's hand and said, "Mother, why don't you believe me! This time it's the food I earned by my own skills." In the future, A-Niang will never say that Xiao Ke is just a child, I can take care of A-Niang now. β
He proudly raised his little face and showed off to his aunt.
"What food have you earned?"
"Two older sisters told me that if I told them about Sister Leah's location, they would give me lots and lots of food, food that I couldn't eat, and meat! Xiao Ke gestured with both hands to the food that seemed to be in front of him.
"Child, who told you this, you have caused a big disaster!" the lady of the Shi family hugged her son in horror and kept patting Xiao Kedi's body.
"Oh no! we have to get out of here now. After Yu Changsheng finished speaking, he picked up Leah and was about to leave.
Leah was frightened by the sudden tugging, and for a moment she didn't stand still, and the basin of water in her hand turned over, and a whole basin of water was completely poured on Rial's face.
"Leah~~~," Rial shouted weakly.
Leah threw away the basin in her hand and quickly pulled up her sleeve to wipe Rial's face.
"Daddy, you're finally awake, how are you, isn't it feeling there?" Leah wept and hurriedly inquired about Rial's condition.
"I... I'm dying... You go... Go and call your two sisters... Ahem, ahem, ahem..."The Rial coughed violently, his breath was disturbed for a moment, and he couldn't speak.
Yu Changsheng was anxious, and grabbed Leah's arm and shouted, "Leah, go quickly! You can't leave if it's too late, your two sisters are already on their way over." β
Leah looked at Yu Changsheng, then at the dying Rial, and said in despair: "Changsheng, you go! I am here to accompany my father through the last stretch of the road." It's a shame that I can't marry you in this life. This can only be reported in the next life. β
After speaking, she gave a deep salute to Yu Changsheng, and was about to push Yu Changsheng out.
"Hurry up, as long as you enter the Governor's Palace, they will not dare to do anything to you. You're leaving!" Leah hissed, pushing Jade Changsheng desperately.
"Don't be delusional! none of you can leave. Gao Na's shrill voice rang out outside the cave, and then the sound of swords clashing was heard.
After a while, a team ran in with a sword and said to Yu Changsheng, "Childe, the way is blocked, what should we do?"
Yu Changsheng looked at the lady of the Shi family and asked, "Sister-in-law, are there any other exits here?"
The lady of the Shi family, who was full of panic, trembled with fright, and only knew that she hugged Xiao Ke tightly and didn't say a word.
"Sister-in-law!" Yu Changsheng shouted three times before she could react.
"Yes, yes, under that jar. Xiao Ke pointed to a broken jar on the edge of the cave wall and shouted.
The team was glancing at Yu Changsheng, nodded and immediately walked quickly to the tank, inserted the long knife into the scabbard, grabbed the edge of the tank with both hands and forced, and the tank was moved away from the place.
"What a big hole!" the team said.
Yu Changsheng stretched out his head and glanced at the cave, which was just the size of a person, and then asked Xiao Ke, "Where does this cave lead?"
"This hole is natural, and the exit is in the wilderness outside the village five hundred paces away, and after going out, it is about five hundred steps away from the moonlit night forest. The lady of the Shi family recovered from her fright and explained to Yu Changsheng.
Yu Changsheng nodded, came to the stone bed, picked up Rial and came to the cave without saying a word, and shouted to Leah, "Come here!"
Leah didn't know what her fiancΓ© was going to do, but seeing his unquestionable momentum, her body involuntarily walked over.
Yu Changsheng said to the team: "It's hard for you to take a few of them out first, and then go directly into the forest after going out, and wait for us to meet at the edge of the forest." If you can't wait for us for an hour, take them back to the Doge's Palace, where you will stand for help. As long as you return to the fleet, you will be a great achievement. β
"What about you, Childe!" the team asked hurriedly.
"I'll meet those two thieves outside. After speaking, Yu Changsheng pulled out his beloved folding fan from his waist, although it looked out of place in this cold environment, but it was undeniable that he shook the folding fan with the chic and elegant.
"Changsheng!" Leah, half of her body exposed outside the entrance of the cave, shouted at Yu Changsheng, "I'm waiting for you outside, you must come!"
Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "Do you remember the battles I told you? Rest assured, wait for me to come back and marry you. After saying that, he also nodded at Leah.
Leah's face flushed with shame, and she entered the hole with a smile on her face.
The hole was long and thin, and it took a long time for a group of people to climb and slide out of the hole.
"Where is this?" asked Leah, who had just come out of the cave, looking around and holding Rial with one hand.
"We're out of the village, and we're a little further into the Moonlit Forest. The lady of the Shi family said.
The team was pulling out the long knife from its scabbard and said to Leah: "Princess, the little one will open the way in front, you follow me, let's go to the forest and rest again, and then wait for the jade prince and them there." β
Leah nodded, placing one of Rial's arms on her back. After the tossing and turning just now, Rial passed out again.
After walking a few steps, the team suddenly heard something, stopped, turned around and walked to Leah, took out something from his arms and handed it to Leah.
"What is this?" Leah cast an inquiring look at him.
"This is a golden jade robe, but it can only be used once and it will become invalid, just now Gongzi asked me to use it for His Majesty the King. As the team was talking, they suddenly saw that Xiao Ke's mother and son were also staring at the shiny thing in his hand, so they had to explain apologetically: "Sister-in-law, there is only one thing left, I'm sorry!"
The lady of the Shi family hurriedly waved her hand and said, "This kind of thing that can only be used by nobles, how can we accompany inferior people like us." I was just curious just now, and I'm really embarrassed to look at it a few more times. β
The team also waved his hand, and then said, "Let's go! Let's get into the forest sooner and be safer." β
