Chapter 17: There is no hope of returning home

The rain is still falling, and the raindrops dripping on the eaves are strings and strings, like a scene of crystal curtains, crystal transparent, very beautiful. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xie Yujiao followed the person who led the way through the corridor, walked through the garden, and before she had time to enjoy the scenery of the courtyard of the tall family, she came to General Gu's study.

"My lord, Miss Xie is here!" The messenger spoke to the people in the upper seat.

"Well, Miss Xie, please be seated. I heard that the girl and Brother Ling were both abducted from Rongzhou, and met the injured Lord Li halfway. It's just that others don't say it very clearly, can you bother the girl to tell me what happened to you, and see if Gu can help. ”

Xie Yujiao realized that Li Tianlei should not have woken up yet, otherwise the general would not have bothered to make his own words.

Xie Yujiao told the truth and detail that she didn't hide what happened to her, but the part about Ding Dong also copied the one she said to Li Tianlei.

After listening to Xie Yujiao's words, the general did not judge, but only took out a cloak to show Xie Yujiao.

"The girl has seen this"

"Hey, isn't this the cloak I lost, I was too wet and too bulky, and I threw it halfway through the road."

"This thing shouldn't have been a girl's thing, dare to ask where the girl got it"

Xie Yujiao felt that the general's tone was a bit like interrogating a prisoner, but she didn't dare to show impatience, after all, now that people have hard fists, and she and Ding Dong are still on other people's territory, she didn't hesitate much, thinking that the other party wanted to know everything and tell him truthfully, anyway, there was nothing to say to others.

"Ah, it was picked off the dead in the mountains and forests, and because it was not stained with blood, I will use it."

"Dead people? The girl knows who the other party is."

"My lord, I'm just a country girl, how can I know so much. It was we who met the gangsters in the mountains, and then Dingdong and I took the opportunity to escape, and everyone else died. When we escaped, we saw people fighting, and we were too timid to come closer, and when they rode away, we came out, and we saw many dead people lying on the ground. It should have been killed by a gangster who ran away on horseback. My clothes were too thin to be cold, so I took a cloak and put it on. That's it. Oh, and we've seen people who have run away on horseback, snatched a child, and killed everyone else. ”

"The location you mentioned is probably somewhere in the mountains."

"Then I don't know, I've been locked up in the carriage. It was only later that after we escaped from the attack, we walked all night before walking out of the forest, so it should be far from here. ”

The general asked for some more details and asked Xie Yujiao to go back.

Xie Yujiao intuitively felt that this general was not in a good temper, so he turned around and retreated with the idea that it was best not to deal with him anymore.

"Oh, General, Brother Li promised me that if I can find someone to save him, he will arrange for someone to help me report my family's safety and try to help me return home, which can be done."

"Since Master Li promised you, he will not break his promise. You can wait for him to wake up, and there is no hurry for this day or two," said the general impatiently.

"Brother Li is in a coma now, even if he wakes up immediately, if he wants to fulfill his promise, he will have to ask someone else to do it for him, why not arrange it now, so as not to seriously injure Brother Li." Forgive her, she is also worried that her father and mother have not known her news for a long time, afraid that they will be too sad, thinking that her peace letter can be delivered to them sooner, and they can rest assured sooner.

The general also had the intention of sending people away as soon as possible, lest she refuse to come here, and when she turned around, she had to annoy the seriously injured Lord Li again, "It's okay, you can report the detailed address and give a token." I'll find a caravan to go to Shu and make a trip to your house. ”

"Okay, let's use this silk flower for the token. Can I borrow the general's pen and ink? Xie Yujiao saw that the people in the audience furrowed their eyebrows, as if they were about to get angry, and hurriedly added, "It's really not good to appease my father's worries just by tokens, and a letter is more appropriate."

"I can't see that you are a little country girl who is not only literate, but also can write and ink"

"Thanks to the good teaching of the elders," she was a little proud, and she could impress him.

"Well, please"

Under the attention of the general, Xie Yujiao wrote two large letters of peace with enthusiasm. Fang Zheng regular script, clear and handsome, the words are like her person, smart and smart, she is a little proud, after all, this is more than 20 years of pure heart and few desires in the previous life.

After the letter was written, it was carefully reviewed, which made Xie Yujiao feel very uncomfortable, but she still had to endure it.

"Rest assured, girl, at most two months, this letter will definitely be handed over to Ling Zun. As for the girl's return home, it was not an easy task. The border between Shu and Dazhou is not peaceful, and the road is far away, if you want to send the girl to Rongzhou, you must be a trustworthy person, but now Lord Li is seriously injured, and he is not an idler, and his people are also very busy, so there is no one to escort the girl home for the time being. Gu has two proposals here, one is to go to the county town to hire a dart bureau escort or find a caravan to go together. However, the cost of hiring a dart game is not small, and you have to pay thousands of taels of employment money. The second is to find a caravan, the caravan is cheaper, and there is no need to find a caravan directly to Rongzhou, as long as you go to the direction of Rongzhou, and then continue to look for a caravan, and finally you can always get to the girl's hometown, and the cost is not less than three or five hundred taels. However, girl, be careful, you and the sick boy are only seven or eight years old, and they are not bad, and they are the target of the abductor, and if you are not careful, you will be abducted again. Also, if you can return home with a large sum of money at such a young age, it is impossible to say that those who want to make money will also do it to you. Gu knew that the girl was eager to return to her hometown, but he also forgot that the girl was cautious. ”

Xie Yujiao has been thinking about going home as soon as possible, returning to her father's side as soon as possible, and returning to that warm home although she is not rich. Unexpectedly, seeing the hope of going home in front of me, there were so many obstacles.

Hundreds or thousands of taels of travel expenses! Can Li Tianlei have so much silver, even if he has travel expenses, as this general said, there are many dangers on the way!

Isn't it just going home? Why is it so hard.

Xie Yujiao understands that what people say is the truth, and these are also the facts that she must face. However, why is she so difficult to accept.

"Thank you, General, for the reminder. I'll leave the matter of the book to the general. Without disturbing the general's official business, the people took their leave. ”

Xie Yujiao was in a very bad mood, her mood was very low, and the way home was too difficult!

She arrives at Tinkerbell's room, where Clank Bell is still sleeping. She sat quietly on the side, looking at the flowers and plants outside the door, seeing that the rain was still falling, and she wanted to cry sadly.

She felt that she should still live honestly in the countryside, and her small words were all lies. Why is it so beautiful in books, but now I have to face so many cruel realities when I come out.

Liars, those who write novels and scripts are big liars.

All kinds of envy and jealousy when I used to look at the little talk book are all scattered at this time.

Now I have to face the question of what to do in the future.

You can't stay here forever.

I need money to go home, a lot of money, and I have more than 20 taels of silver from the kidnapper that night, which is far from the difference. And we must take a long-term view, and we must prevent ourselves from being abducted and trafficked by abductors again.

Seven years old! Seven years old! When will I be seventeen years old, Daddy, why don't you give birth to me ten years early?

The outside world is too dangerous, but it's still the safest at home!

"Dingdong, what should I do, I can't go home now, what about you? Where are you going, your family?"

Xie Yujiao tried Ding Dong's forehead, it was not too hot, and it seemed that the high fever had subsided. Ever since she had heard the whispers of Jingle Bell in her sleep that night, she knew that the child's mute was pretended.

But why? I don't understand!
