Chapter Fifty-Eight: Escape
Liuya locked herself in the house for a day and a night, and she did not come out until the next morning.
Liu Rong was worried for a day and a night, and in the early morning of the next day, she was woken up by the smell wafting from the kitchen.
Seeing the busy Liuya in the kitchen, she dozed off before she woke up.
The fox looked suspiciously at the busy figure in the kitchen.
"Liuya. ”
Liuya looked back at Liu Rong and said with a smile: "Sister is awake, you go wash your face first, and you can eat breakfast soon." ”
Liu Rong didn't move, and looked Liuya up and down worriedly, wanting to see something strange from it.
Liuya blinked vividly and said with a smile: "Why does my sister keep staring at me, is there something dirty on my face?"
Liu Rong shook her head and asked uneasily, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, sister, don't worry about me, go wash your face, the meal is ready." ”
As she spoke, she pushed Liu Rong out of the kitchen, and when Liu Rong saw that she was back to normal, she relieved herself and went to the well to fetch water to wash her face.
When I returned to the house, I saw the white rice porridge on the table, the porridge was very thick, this was the first time in more than half a month that Liu Rong had seen.
The porridge I used to drink in the morning was not so much porridge as a bowl of boiled water with a few grains of rice floating in it.
Liuya came in with two bowls of dishes, and saw that Liu Rong hadn't done it yet.
"Why doesn't my sister eat it, isn't it unappetizing?"
"No", he stepped forward to take the dish in Liuya's hand, and said with a smile: "Liuya's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and I don't know which man will marry you in the future. ”
A flush quickly crept up on Liuya's ordinary face, and she glanced at Liu Rong shyly.
"My sister will make fun of me, Liuya is still young. ”
"I didn't say now", Liu Rong said jokingly: "What, you are in a hurry to get married? Your brother entrusted you to me, it seems that I have to choose a good one for you." ”
Liuya's expression darkened, and her smiling little face suddenly froze.
Seeing her look like this, Liu Rong relieved her heart.
Came forward and put his arm around her.
"Cry if you want to, don't hold yourself back, what can I say to my sister, although we are not related by blood, but from now on you are my own sister, I will take care of you like your brother, you are not alone, you know. ”
Liuya looked up at Liu Rong and was moved to cry, but she held back.
raised his hand and hugged Liu Rong tightly, burying his little face in his arms.
Buzzed: "Sister, you are so good. ”
Liu Rong patted her on the back and said with a smile: "Are you in a better mood, let's eat if you're good, I'm hungry." ”
Liuya burst into tears and laughed.
After the two of them had breakfast, Liu Rong returned to the room and thought about how to live in the future.
Her parcel fell on the carriage, and all the silver tickets were in the parcel, so now she was poor.
was thinking about how to earn money to support himself and Liuya, but in distress, a shadow blocked the light, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Liuya.
Liuya held the small package in her hand, and without waiting for Liu Rong to ask, she untied it by herself and handed her the contents inside.
"Sister, this is the clothes you wore that day, and these ten taels of silver, my brother took your jewelry, asked the doctor to buy medicine, and your things are here. ”
Liuya glanced at Liu Rong cautiously, and saw that she was not angry, but uneasy.
When she woke up that day, her clothes had been changed, and the jewelry she was wearing was gone, and she was embarrassed to ask at that time, and she forgot about it later.
I didn't expect Liuya to return it to her today.
was worried that there was no silver, and Liuya sent it up, happily held her little face, chirped, and offered her own fragrant kiss.
Liuya was shy and wiped her cheeks with her hands.
"Sister, don't you blame us for taking off the jewelry without your consent?"
Liu Rong gave her a blank look.
"You're here to treat me, and if you're to blame for this, then I'm so bad. ”
Liuya smiled, hesitated for a moment, and plucked up the courage to ask: "Looking at my sister's dress, my sister must be from a rich family, and now that her body is better, my sister doesn't want to go back?"
Liu Rong's expression froze, and a wry smile appeared on her beautiful face.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. ”
Liuya was puzzled, seeing that Liu Rong was in a lost mood, she didn't dare to ask, patted her on the back and comforted: "Sister, this will be your home in the future." ”
Liu Rong smiled reluctantly.
For a moment, the two were speechless.
It wasn't until the little girl from the Xu family next door came to play with Liuya that the silence was broken.
Closing the door, Liu Rong looked at the pink purse in the package, and worry flashed in the depths of her eyes.
I don't know if my father and mother are safe, and Brother Huaiyuan didn't send anyone to take care of them.
Time passed little by little, until it was almost lunch, and the six girls ran home in a panic.
opened the door and found that Liu Rong was not inside, looking around, but still didn't find it, so anxious that beads of sweat the size of ants and beans rolled down from his forehead.
Liu Rong was carrying the vegetable basket, heard Liuya's shouts from a distance, worried that something would happen, lifted her skirt, and trotted all the way home.
"Liuya, I'm here. ”
Liuya stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and pulled her to the back mountain without saying a word.
Liu Rong was unprepared, almost tripped over, and hurriedly grabbed her.
"What's wrong? Look at you're sweating profusely. As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
"Sister, run away, there are many officers and soldiers outside the village looking for my sister. “
Liu Rong made a movement in her hand, her beautiful face flashed with panic, and her hands and feet became cold.
"You said that there are a lot of officers and soldiers outside the village looking for me?"
Liuya hurriedly said: "They took my sister's portrait and asked from house to house, when I ran over, they had already come to our house, sister, let's run away." ”
Liu Rong nodded, returned to the room, rolled up the valuables, took Liuya's hand, and ran towards the back mountain
Jiang Hao stopped a villager and asked him to identify the girl in the painting.
Although Liu Rong rarely goes out, few people have seen her, and it just so happened that the villager had seen her.
"My lord, the grass people have seen it, to be honest, the grass people have never seen such a beautiful girl since they were young. ”
Jiang Hao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Then do you know where that girl lives?"
"I know, she lives in the house of Zhang Erbao at the end of the village. ”
"Could you please lead the way? ”
Although it was an inquiry, the tone could not be refused.
The villagers looked at the cow behind them in embarrassment, and out of the corner of their eyes, they caught a glimpse of Jiang Hao's displeasure, and their hearts suddenly burst out, and they swallowed their saliva in fear, and said with a dry smile: "Great, please come with me, my lord." ”
Jiang Hao stared at the empty grass hut with an ugly face.
"My lord, the man has run away. ”
The corners of Jiang Hao's mouth twitched, his forehead ached faintly, and when he thought of the emperor's angry appearance, he felt a pang in his heart.
"Chase, you must find Liu Xiunu. ”
"Yes. ”
Liu Rong didn't dare to look back, for fear that as soon as she turned around, she would see the officers and soldiers who had caught up.
The two of them stayed up the hill until it was dark, and then they stopped to rest.
I don't know whose stomach gurgled loudly, and then I realized that I was hungry, touched my stomach, and the two looked at each other.
"My lord, there are footprints here, and they are going this way. ”
The voices of the officers and soldiers not far away startled Liu Rong and the others.
