69 Escape (Part II)
"Third aunt, what did you say on the big day," a strange voice suddenly appeared outside the door.
Ning Die turned around, and the person who came in from outside was Yongcui, the powerful big girl beside the eldest lady.
Yongcui held the tray and smiled Yan Yan, "Eighth Miss, this is the fish fillet porridge that the eldest lady ordered me to send, and when the meeting is held at noon, let you eat something first." β
Ning Die got up and took the plate, put the porcelain bowl containing the fish fillet porridge on the table, Yongcui was about to quit after completing the mission, walked to the door and paused, and said: "The porridge is not easy to cool, Miss Eight must drink it while it is hot." β
Ning Die nodded yes, as soon as Yongcui left, the third aunt looked at the porridge too much, and she couldn't allow anyone to be polite to Ning Die, so she took Ning Die's maid out of anger and scolded: "It's about to be time, you still don't help Miss Eight to dress up!" β
The four maids standing next to him hurriedly stepped forward to prepare for Ning Die, but Ning Die stopped him loudly: "Don't use it for the time being, let me drink this porridge first." β
The eldest lady snatched the porridge over: "When you finish eating this porridge, the sun is rising, if you are really hungry at that time, can you just eat a few pastries and cushion it?" β
Ning Die didn't bother to argue with her, turned her head and walked to the dressing mirror, and said to the maids, "You help me comb my hair first." β
The house was busy.
The third aunt didn't eat breakfast in the morning, and now she is bored, the porridge on the table is fragrant, she is not a greedy person, but for some reason she feels that the porridge in this celadon is particularly appetizing, thinking that this porridge is for Ning Die to eat, she is not happy, and she directly picks up the porridge on the side to eat.
Western-style hair is simpler than combing a classical bun, after cleaning up the makeup for Ning Die, the maid then has to help her change her clothes, Ning Die is not used to someone serving her to dress, she said: "You all go to wait outside the door, I'll do it myself." β
The maids walked outside the door, and Ning Die found that the third aunt was still there, and then said, "Third aunt, can you go out and avoid it first?" β
The third aunt didn't refute her directly, she held her forehead, her complexion was not good, Ning Die asked tentatively, "Are you unwell?" β
"I don't know," the third aunt felt too tight in her chest and dizzy, "After drinking this porridge, I felt dizzy and sleepy." β
Ning Die stared at the bowl of porridge, the white porridge was thick, and it looked very good with celadon, she was silent for half a minute, and then spoke, her voice trembling a little: "I'll help you to rest on my bed." β
The third aunt didn't refuse, her head was in a commotion, and there was chaos.
Ning Die helped her lie on her bed, took off her shoes, covered the quilt, and lowered the curtain.
Yongcui, who went and returned outside the door, asked the maids, "Where is Miss Eight?" β
"Inside."
Yongcui asked, "Eighth Miss?" β
Ning Die did not answer.
"Miss Eight?"
Ning Die paced around the room, and then heard Yongcui say to those maids: "It's none of your business here, the eldest lady is short of manpower, you go over there to help first." β
The maids left one after another.
Yongcui pushed the door in, and Ning Die was already lying on the table more than ten seconds ahead of her.
She heard Yongcui walk up to her, pick up the bowl, and when she put the bowl down again, she whispered, "Come in, Miss Eight is already unconscious." β
Outside, the sound of steady and powerful footsteps sounded like the footsteps of two stout women.
Ning Die pretended to be asleep and let her mother-in-law carry her out.
There was the smell of flowers all the way, and in the silence there was only the sound of the footsteps of the rough woman, Ning Die guessed that they were carrying her down the hidden path of the Ning Mansion, leading to the back door.
The back door of the Ning Mansion was facing a stream, the stream flowed to the nearest wharf, and the rough woman carefully carried her onto the boat and put her on the mat, Yongcui said to the boatman: "Take the person to the wharf, send it to the steamer and leave, and there must be no mistakes." β
The boatman spoke in the voice of an old man, "Yes, yes, how dare the little one go against the will of the big lady." β
Yongcui Fang left with the rough woman.
The sound of the oars turned from shallow to deep, Ning Die opened her eyes instantly, and she sat up from the mat, "Boat family, please send me to the shore." β
Suddenly hearing someone speak, the old man was frightened, Ning Die softened his voice and said, "Don't worry, I won't go back to Ning Mansion and won't go against what the eldest lady wants you to do." β
After thinking about it, Ning Die took out a few yuan from his body and put it on the side of the mat: "This is for you." β
After the old man understood what she said, he waved his hand again and again: "I can't help it, I can't help it, I'll let you go ashore, Miss." β
Ning Die pursed her lips and was silent, she was in a very complicated mood now, although she had planned to escape from the marriage, and agreed to meet Lin Laiyu at the train station once she had the opportunity to leave Ning Mansion (she couldn't buy tickets in person, she could only entrust Lin Laiyu), but she didn't expect the eldest lady to have such thoughts about her.
Drugged her and let people send her away, are the usual gentle treatments just a false surface? Ning Die stared at the water in a daze, the green duckweed was like a dandelion in the water, moving rootlessly, which was so consistent with her situation.
When she went ashore, she untied her hair, her short hair was scattered in her ears, and she hooked it behind her ears, she didn't have any luggage, and called a rickshaw on the side of the road and reported the name of the train station.
The rickshaw walked on the avenue, the road condition was not very good, a group of convoys blocked the road, firecrackers sounded on both sides, adults and children stood on both sides to watch the excitement, the rickshaw had to stop to the side to give way, look at the convoy of greeting relatives is as long as a dragon, smiling and talking to Ning Die: "Today is the big wedding event of Miss Ningfu Eight, married to the famous General Huo Da in the southwest, look at this battle, the northwest has not been so lively for many years." β
The sound of firecrackers was deafening, all the luxury cars drove in front of Ning Die's eyes, on a sunny day, the green smoke of those gunpowder was thin into nothingness, Ning Die didn't say anything, she turned her face away slightly, and no longer looked at the convoy, "Master, I'm in a hurry." β
The middle-aged man pulling the rickshaw pushed the towel around his neck, "Okay, you sit tight." β
After saying that, he cautiously moved forward.
The rickshaw that Ning Die was sitting in passed by almost every luxury car.
When she arrived at the train station, Lin Laiyu had been standing at the entrance of the station and waiting, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly pulled her inside, "Didn't "The Story of an Orphan Girl" finish last night, the director asked everyone to stay and drink your wedding wine, I sneaked out, if others see that I am not there, they will definitely suspect it, we will hurry up and get on the bus now, and we will leave in half an hour." β
Ning Die nodded, and the two of them lined up together to check in on the tickets, and at this time, the bell rang in the distance, and it was the voice of the church, the largest spire church in the northwest, not far from the train station.
Ning Die was in a slight trance, thinking that at this time, Huo Cheng should have picked up the "bride" in the wedding car, the bride, the eldest lady naturally had a way to let her not wear a gang.
Free Ning Die, as long as you step on this train, and then go back to the southwest to say goodbye to your mother and leave China, she will be free.
But why, Ning Die frowned, but why was she a little stunned?
"Ning Die!" Lin Laiyu shook her arm and said, "It's time for you to check the ticket, don't be in a daze." β
Ning Die handed the ticket to the person checking the ticket, she walked into the car, and Lin Laiyu then followed and looked for the seat number with her, "Ning Die, are you really going to leave Huo Cheng?" β
Ning Die looked at the number on the train wall, "It's impossible for me to be with him." β
This is too decisive, like a self-suggestion, Lin Laiyu sighed, in fact, she has a very good impression of Huo Cheng, whether it is in the northwest or southwest, there are too few men like Huo Cheng who have the power but are clean, and what is even more precious is that the other party is affectionate.
But whoever made her a friend of Ning Die, no matter what, was on Ning Die's side.
The seats were found, and the two sat in the same row, and in order to keep a low profile as much as possible, they bought a hard seat of the ordinary grade.
More and more people got on the train, and there were fewer and fewer vacant seats, Lin Laiyu stared at the silver watch on his wrist a few times, and said that the good half an hour had already passed, but the train had not yet left.
"Don't worry, don't worry," Lin Laiyu comforted while stomping his feet, "The train departure is sometimes delayed. After saying this, he immediately continued to chatter faster.
And Ning Die faintly had a bad premonition.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of him, and it was an army with guns coming over, and the eyes of an eagle swept over everyone, and the explanation was cold and hard: "Suspicious elements have been found in the car, and routine inspections will be conducted!" β
Everyone consciously sat up straight, Ning Die was confused, the time of this inspection was too coincidental, just thinking about this, the person standing behind the army was none other than Huo Cheng in a black suit and groom.
He seems to have lost weight, his tough facial features are even more profound, and his hair has traces of careful care, weakening the usual solemn atmosphere, and there is a kind of compelling extravagance, which is incompatible with the noisy environment around him.
He walked slowly with the army, Lin Laiyu naturally saw Huo Cheng like Ning Die, she asked Ning Die what to do with her eyes, Ning Die took off the scarf around her neck and put it directly on her head.
She lowered her head and closed her eyes silently, she sat by the window, Lin Laiyu was also afraid that Huo Cheng would recognize her, so she lifted the collar of her coat up and learned from Ning Die to bury her head.
The army approached slowly, and then stood in the aisle next to Ning Die's position.
All eyes were on this side.
Ning Die found that she was not as calm as she imagined, her palms were sweating, and her legs were trembling from nervousness.
The army soon went again, just a dragonfly in a daze.
Lin Laiyu finally let go of the heart she was carrying, she stroked her chest and breathed smoothly, and suddenly saw a pair of shiny black leather shoes in front of her, which wanted to reflect the dust on the aisle.
She stiffly turned her head to look at Ning Die first, and at this moment her friend half-pursed her bloodless lips, pulled the scarf off her head, and put it back on her neck.
"Ning Die," Huo Cheng's voice was hoarse, "go back with me." β
Lin Laiyu was in front of Ning Die's body, and said bitterly, "Mr. Huo, why are you doing this? Twisted melon ......"
"Come back with me!" His tone remained calm, but there was no need for a suppressed command, "I don't want to repeat it a third time." β
Under this aggressive momentum, Lin Laiyu was a little overwhelmed, but she still insisted on blocking in front of Ning Die until Ning Die patted her arm, "Laiyu, I want to talk to Mr. Huo." β
Lin Laiyu had no choice but to withdraw his arm with difficulty.
Ning Die then entered the first-class box of the train station, and Huo Cheng's subordinates served hot tea to the two of them, and then closed the box door and exited. All of a sudden there was only each other left in the enclosed space. Ning Die was not in a hurry to speak, she sat quietly, the sunlight outside the window slanted on her face, making her white and flawless skin like white jade, and a pair of watery eyes became more and more dark and deep.
Huo Cheng got up from the upholstered sofa, clasped the back of Ning Die's head across the table and kissed her on the lips fiercely, the tea on the table overturned, and the water dripped to the ground.
Unexpectedly, Ning Die didn't struggle, and the kiss became deeper and deeper, gradually making Huo Cheng confused.
When his lips moved away from Ning Die's lips, he stood up straight, stood in front of Ning Die around the table, and looked condescendingly at Ning Die's crimson face after being kissed by lack of oxygen, he lifted Ning Die's chin and bent down for a second deep kiss without parting.
From the soft kiss, to Ning Die's slender neck, thin collarbones, and then the tender skin under the buttons of the skirt.
No matter how much he asked for it, he kissed wildly, and when he even entered Ning Die's body, it was like a blizzard, both cold and eager.
Ning Die put her arms around his neck to prevent herself from slipping off the sofa, Huo Cheng's gasps echoed in her ears, deepening with each powerful impact, and she bit her lip tightly, and was silent from beginning to end.
At the end of the passion, Huo Cheng sorted out her dress, not without warmth, "Go back with me, the wedding is not over yet." β
Ning Die pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, there was no warmth in her deep eyes, "I remember one year, when you came back from the city, I took a bullet for you, do you remember what you said to me at that time?" β
Huo Cheng's face changed.
"You said that if there is a future life, you will definitely compensate me with your life, but in this life I have been so embarrassed by you that even I spit on myself." As she spoke, she slowly aimed the muzzle of the gun in her hand at Huo Cheng's abdomen.
This is the gun she just took out from the other party's pocket while Huo Cheng was unprepared.
There was silence in the carriage.
After a long time, Fang heard Huo Cheng's low wry smile: "It turns out that you hate me to this point, if you want to kill me, just tell me directly, why endure the nausea and get close to me." β
His hand covered the gun that Ning Die was holding: "This gun was specially built for me by Li Hao, and I will open it for you, so as not to hurt you." β
His tone was too calm, but Ning Die's hand with a gun trembled slightly.
The gun was loaded, and as long as his fingers gently hooked the trigger, Ning Die could achieve her goal.
Outside the box, the train began to whistle before starting, and the car was slow to start, and some people's complaints had already been heard.
Huo Cheng looked straight at Ning Die.
It turned out that she was reborn like himself, from Ning Die's eyes, he saw his own reflected shadow, his expression was calm as stagnant water, but only he knew what kind of turbulent waves he was in his heart.
All the things he did in his previous life, he understood that Ning Die should hate him, even if he made up for it, it would be useless, and the terrible thing was that Ning Die knew all this, so there was no possibility between him and her.
It's better to shoot her back, Huo Cheng only has this idea at the moment.
He was about to press the wrench, but Ning Die regretted it, let go of his hand tremblingly, pushed him away, opened the box door in a panic, and stumbled out.
And Huo Cheng no longer has the courage to catch up with her.
Ning Die returned to Lin Laiyu's side, her face was pale, after a while, the train finally departed, Lin Laiyu opened her lips, couldn't help but inquire, got up and went to the pantry of the train to give Ning Die a cup of hot water and handed it to her, let Ning Die slow down first.
Ning Die didn't even have the strength to say thank you, holding the hot water cup, watching the hot water steam up and down.
"It's finally gone," a man in a green shirt who was in the car at the last night on the opposite side sighed, "Have you heard that the search just now is said to be the famous General Huo in the southwest looking for his fiancΓ©e." β
Ning Die lowered her eyes, and a small-footed woman beside the man didn't believe it: "Didn't General Nahuo marry the eighth lady of Ning Mansion in the church?" That scene, a lively sensation in the entire northwest, luxury cars and celebrities, the bowls and chopsticks at the wedding banquet were made of sterling silver, and General Huo also bought a famous mansion in the northwest as a wedding room. β
"Is it the 'Qing Ju' mansion where the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty lived?"
"But no, how could you come to the train station to find someone, just by virtue of General Huo's powerful position, what woman is not impressed, not to mention that General Huo is dignified, young and handsome, and has an innocent style, there will be women in this world who escape his marriage? Those young ladies and ladies in the northwest and southwest, but they are all looking forward to being the pillow person of General Huo. β
"Eh," an elder interjected, "you're wrong, I just came from outside the church, the lavish scene is indeed a sensation, General Huo invited the young lady wearing a white veil from the car, and the roses paved all the way, and the beautiful scenery of the beautiful people was all envious of others, but there was news that General Huo didn't bring the young lady into the church at all." β
The woman hurriedly asked, "Why is that?" β
The elder lowered his voice: "As soon as General Huo took the woman's hand, he found that it was not Miss Eight, and he lifted the veil on the spot, and the result was really not me, but the fourth miss of Ningfu, to say that the fourth miss of Ningfu should be good-looking, and she was a descendant, and she drank foreign ink, no worse than Miss Eight, as soon as Miss Eight left, Ningfu might want to replace Miss Four, who knew that it would be recognized by General Huo at once, the key is that General Huo still doesn't want these four young ladies, regardless of the guests present, he directly called the army over, and then there was a scene of searching the northwest, not only the railway station, Even those places on the docks are searched, and if no one is found, they are not allowed to go out of the northwest. β
For a while, everyone sighed, Huo Cheng and Chen Yueming got close, the Chen family has been doing business in the northwest for several years, and their power should not be underestimated, it is easy to use Chen Yueming's hand to block the dock and the railway station, but Chen Yueming's favor must be paid for it.
Ning Die sighed, why did he bother to do this.
Ning Die was called away alone just now, and others heard about Miss Ning Fuba's escape from marriage, and couldn't help but turn their eyes to Ning Die, Ning Die was not worried about being recognized, even if these people guessed that she was the protagonist in the story, they were not sure, because if she was, she would have been taken away just now.
The train swayed forward, the green scenery outside the window flashed by, and it was far away from the northwest, Ning Die thought that her trip should come to an end.
