Chapter 10: Out of the City

The night market was very prosperous, Mu Qing asked Annu to sit in the carriage, and he drove the carriage to the city gate.

Yizhou closes the city gate very late, and usually waits until midnight to close the city gate. But Mu Qing was not ready to stay until so late before leaving, the Mu family had not registered him, in fact, he was still half a black household, he wanted to wait for a while.

He had just heard a few fellows talking at the carriage and horse shop, and several caravans would leave the city tonight, and although it was dangerous to walk at night, he could try his luck when passing through some private checkpoints in towns, and maybe there would be no one to guard him, and he could go there without paying money.

Mu Qing just wanted to wait for the time when there were more people out of the city, as soon as he went out, he didn't have a household registration, and the check would not be so strict at that time.

After a few turns, I felt like my stomach was growling. Mu Qing turned around and opened the curtain to look in, and found that Annu was also sitting there with her stomach covered.

From noon to now, there has been no rice, and Mu Qing feels that it is good not to treat anything badly. I stopped the carriage and looked left and right, but saw a steamed bun stall not far away.

"What's wrong with the master?" Annu is a little nervous now, especially when her stomach is empty, and the tension is even more intense. He got out of the carriage and looked left and right in fear, "Is there a bad guy?" ”

Mu Qing patted him on the head: "It's not that there are bad people, it's that my stomach and you are not happy, and you want to eat." ”

Annu blinked, then looked embarrassed. thought that Mu Qing heard the screaming of his stomach, and hurriedly hid back.

Mu Qing grabbed him and said, "I'll go buy a few buns and come back to pad my stomach, and you can sit down." ”

"No, I'll go." Mu Qing did all the dots along the way, which made Annu, who was used to taking care of people, very uncomfortable. He grabbed Mu Qing, and he jumped out of the carriage flexibly and ran towards the bun stall.

Mu Qing didn't follow, sitting in the carriage leaning on the wheel behind him, but his eyes were always staring at Annu not far away.

The boss who sold the steamed buns was an old man who looked honest and generous, Mu Qing saw that Annu was cautiously talking to the boss, and then the boss took four big buns to him very happily, wrapped them in paper neatly, and then took a few steamed buns out of another cage drawer and wrapped them and stuffed them into Annu's arms.

Annu hesitated, but was patted on the head by the old man.

Just by looking, he knew what was going on, Mu Qing tilted his head, but he was a little proud in his heart. My own Annu is good-looking, Yuxue is cute, whoever likes it, even selling buns can bring back a few big steamed buns for nothing.

Annu trotted back and put a couple of paper bags on the car. It was the first time he bought something, and the enthusiasm of the store made him a little scared, and he felt grateful in his heart, but after all, he took advantage of others, and Annu was a little uneasy.

"Master......"

"Do you have any thanks?" Mu Qing didn't wait for him to speak, so he asked with a smile.

Annu nodded hurriedly, he had just said a lot of thanks.

Mu Qing pulled Annu into the car and opened the curtain, so that he could not only see the situation outside, but also enter the carriage to block some autumn wind.

"You have to learn to accept the kindness of others to you."

When Annu heard this, he didn't seem to understand, but he still nodded and remembered it in his heart.

took two buns, one put it in Annu's hand, and the other took it himself, tore open the paper bag to reveal the white and tender buns, which could only be held with both hands, and when he bit down, the fragrant meat juice immediately flowed out, and the hot meat filling was fragrant, so that Mu Qing, who had been hungry for a day, immediately felt the taste of happiness.

Annu saw Mu Qing eat it, and he couldn't bear it anymore, the smell of the bun had seduced him from just now, and his stomach was screaming even more.

Tear open the paper, bite into it, and then quickly chew and swallow, and feel alive again. =======================================================================

The process of leaving the city was very smooth, and several convoys had the idea of walking at night, and Mu Qing and their small broken car were very inconspicuous in those high-headed trucks.

When he left the city, Mu Qing did not leave immediately, but parked the car not far away and did not go to the woods outside the city.

After all, it is dangerous to walk at night, those caravans are afraid of exploitation, they are naturally not afraid of passing by, and they don't have to take that risk, just wait for dawn before leaving.

There is thick felt in the carriage, which is usually used to build a carriage, and now it is very warm to use it as a quilt cover when sleeping outside, but there is only one. Mu Qing didn't light a bonfire, this place is not far from the city wall, and lighting a bonfire is easy to attract soldiers, but it will not be beautiful when the time comes. Tethering the horse to the tree, Mu Qing got into the carriage with the felt.

Annu has always relied on the box, and now there is no pen and ink and no books in the box, but it is a few big steamed buns sent by the store with a steamed bun stall. The weather was cold, and it could be warmer to lean, and when he saw Mu Qing coming in, An Nu hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled him in.

Mu Qing got in on Annu's hand, and then sat directly next to Annu.

Although the carriage was small, it was more than enough for them to lie down. Mu Qing shook off the felt in his hand and said, "Fortunately, it's not particularly cold now, this should be able to keep out the cold." ”

Just like that, it took a night.

At dawn the next day, Mu Qing just opened his eyes and saw that Annu had already taken the river water back, and when he saw that he was awake, he handed him the moistened handkerchief, Mu Qing wiped his face, and it was much more refreshing.

Mu Qing jumped out of the carriage and stretched lazily as he looked at the early morning. The weather is very good today, although it is still a little cold, but compared to the hot and humid at the beginning, it does make people feel much more relaxed now.

When he turned around, he saw Annu take out a cloth bag from his bosom and open it, and it turned out to be the vermilion tablet. Annu looked at Mu Qing and smiled, "I brought it out when I went out." ”

Only then did Mu Qing remember that Annu almost fell when he went out, and he thought that he had touched it at that time.

There was no incense, Mu Qing symbolically bowed his head, but he heard An Nu chattering on the side, what "it was the eldest lady who drove the master out too much, not that the master was not filial", and what "Mrs. rest assured, I will take care of the master".

"Annu, you know...... My mother? ”

Annu blinked and looked at Mu Qing: "I don't know." ”

"So what are you talking about......

"Tell the master, let the master know that there is a lady watching from the sky, if there is no interest in the future, you will not dare to be a slave, let the lady only come to you."

Mu Qing's face stiffened when he heard this explanation, and he looked at An Nu with a soft smile, and only felt that there was a sentence that was really right.

Cute to the depths of natural black.
