"What should I do?" Jing'er asked Bu Fan in a low voice, her palms covered with sweat.

Bu Fan glanced back slightly, and saw that there were three tall men, and the one headed by was staring at him with a very sharp gaze.

He shuddered, turned his head hurriedly, and whispered, "Keep walking." ”

There are steep slopes on both sides of the road, and there is only a layer of low weeds growing on the slopes, so you have to keep walking.

"Hmm. ”

Bu Fan let Jing'er walk in front, and he covered behind.

Jing'er is pregnant, and although she has shown the fastest speed, she is still unable to compare to the three men with long legs and long hands behind her.

Seeing that the three men were about to catch up, Bu Fan's heart became a mess.

Whether they had come to follow the two of them, he couldn't say for a moment, but if he stopped and gave way to them, he was afraid that he would be surrounded by them.

At this critical juncture, Jing'er said decisively: "You run, leave me alone." ”

Bu Fan shook his head violently and said: "How can there be such a reason, if you want to die, you will die together." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Bu Fan was suddenly full of courage, and his steps became calm.

His grandmother's is not afraid of death, but is he still afraid of them?

At this time, the person who was the leader of the three people behind suddenly said, "May I ask if you are Zhang Hei and his wife?"

Before Bu Fan could respond, Jing'er replied, "No." ”

The leader said: "There are only five families in the village, only Zhang Hei and his wife are young people, and they are the only ones who grow mulberry hemp ......."

Bu Fan stood still suddenly, neither looking back nor tilting his head, and asked, "Who are you? What are you looking for Zhang Hei and his wife?"

Seeing this, the three of them also stood still and said, "We are from the city and want to talk to you about cooperation." ”

"What cooperation?" Bu Fan asked in a deep voice.

"I see that your mulberries will be ripe in less than two months, and I want to buy a batch with you. ”

It stands to reason that it is a good thing that someone is willing to buy it, but Bufan was afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years, so he shook his head and said, "I have signed a contract with someone, I'm sorry!" and said: "If there is nothing else, then so be it." ”

"We are willing to offer a good price. ”

"I can't help but be honest. After saying this, Bufan walked up again, and whispered to Jing'er: "Let's go faster." ”

Jing'er complied.

Because the child in her belly was nearly five months old, Jing'er had no choice but to hold her stomach with one hand and walk forward briskly with Bufan pulling her with the other.

There was no footsteps behind him.

Bu Fan didn't dare to linger for a moment, and took Jing'er's hand and quickly went to the small mountain village on the side.

When walking downhill, Bufan said to Jing'er: "There is a fork in the road not far ahead, and we will go there at that time." ”

That is, I don't go to that small mountain village.

Jing'er immediately understood, and said "um".

When he reached the fork in the road, Bu Fan pulled Jing'er to the south, walked for about half an hour, and slipped into the grass on one side.

Jing'er thought he was going to hide in the grass with her, but he continued to go deeper into the woods.

After about a quarter of an hour, they reached a waterfall, and Bufan led her slowly from the east side of the waterfall inside, and soon entered the cave.

Bu Fan said to Jing'er, "Let's hide in the cave now." ”

"Good. ”

Bu Fan then dragged her into the entrance of the cave, and then picked up a large stone to block the entrance to the cave.

Now, the two of them felt safe.

Bu Fan pulled her to sit down on a large stone slab to rest.

"How do you know this place?" asked Jing'er.

The cave was silent, and her voice, though soft, echoed.

"It was a long time ago, when I first came here. He further explains, "I ran around the village to find a suitable place to grow mulberry hemp and stumbled upon this place. ”

"They're not going to come along, are they?" asked Jing'er nervously.

"It's a hard place to find, and they probably won't find it for a while. Bu Fan said.

Jing'er's hanging heart finally let go and leaned on Bu Fan's body.

She had run so long while pregnant, and now she was tired and thirsty, but she definitely couldn't go out now, so she had to endure it.

"When it gets dark, I'll go out and fetch you water. Bu Fan stroked her head and said.

"Aren't we going back tonight?" asked Jing'er lazily leaning on his shoulder.

He sighed lightly and said, "It's better not to go back." ”

Jing'er didn't say anything, and fell asleep against him.

Bu Fan gently moved her to the inside of the large stone slab and let her sleep peacefully, while he sat in the dark and thought about things.

Although the three of them said that they had come to him to cooperate, their eyes were not very similar, and if they really came to him to cooperate, they should have greeted him as soon as they saw him, why did they quietly chase him out of the distance to reveal their identities? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he came up with the idea of leaving this place.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he couldn't help but think about it.

When Jing'er woke up, Bu Fan told her her plans.

Jing'er said: "It's okay, let's go, anyway, I'll follow you wherever you go." Then he asked, "But we haven't packed our bags yet?"

They had to bring a few clothes with them to change of clothes, and they had hidden all their savings in a small artificial hole in one of the walls of the house, and if they wanted to leave, they would have to take them out before they could wrap them up.

Bu Fan nodded and said, "I'll go back quietly tonight to get it, and then we'll be on the road before dawn." ”

"I'm not at ease if you go back alone. ”

"I'm even more worried about going back with you to smear you, and it's not convenient to say that. Bu Fan explained to her.

Jing'er thought about it, so she said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you here." Be careful yourself. ”

Bu Fan patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I've walked a lot at night, and I'll be fine." ”

It is estimated that after the sky darkened, Bu Fan went out first to fill a pot of water for Jing'er to come in, and drank enough water himself, so he quietly went to the small village where he lived alone.

He didn't dare to light a fire for fear of attracting the attention of the dogs in the village. If the dogs in the village barked, he would have thrown himself into the net.

It was more than two miles from the cave to the village where he lived, and he walked more slowly by the faint light of the sky to make out his way.

Not far ahead, he lay down on the edge of a haystack, alertly observing his hut.

But the door of the house was locked, and the piles of timber piled up at the door were as they were yesterday, and there was no figure moving around the house.

He watched quietly for a little while, making sure that no one inside or outside the house was slowly approaching it, and when he arrived, he did not enter through the main entrance, but through the chicken coop behind the house, and then pulled open a few latticework logs from one of the windows and went in.
