Chapter 5 Escape
After the two escaped from the Qin Mansion, they wanted to leave the Lin'an Mansion by moonlight, but the city gate had already been closed, and the two had no choice but to find a broken temple to rest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In addition to the two of them, there were also some people of all ages sleeping in the temple, who seemed to be fleeing the crowd. "What people!" A beggar pointed at Jiang Ming with a stick and asked. Jiang Ming said: "Don't get me wrong, my wife and I also fled here, and we want to spend the night, and I also ask my brother to make it convenient." As he spoke, he took out some silver taels. The beggar took the silver taels and said, "My name is Jia Tian, and the people who sleep on the ground are all from my hometown, but unfortunately because of the war, we can only flee in all directions." Jiang Ming said: "Now that the war is in chaos, we are in the rivers and lakes, but there is nothing we can do. Jia Tian said: "You two look like the young lady of a big family eloped with her subordinates, if you don't dislike it, put on our clothes, and we will take you with us when we go out of the city tomorrow." After Jiang Ming and Qin Yueru heard this, they looked at each other and smiled. said: "Then there is Brother Laotai!" Jia Tian said: "What's polite, take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, this is what I should do." You sleep here for the night, and tomorrow we'll go. So saying, he laid some straw for them to stay.
Early the next morning, there were many more guards at the gate of the city, but Jiang Ming and Qin Yueru changed into beggar's clothes and smeared dust on their faces, and the handsome and dashing Jiang Ming and Qin Yueru, who looked like immortals, had already disappeared. Some are just two beggars with gray heads and gray faces. The two were very happy with their outfits. Jia Tian said: "You two will follow me in a while, and I will take you out." Jiang Ming and Qin Yueru nodded. The guard saw that there were suddenly so many beggars, and said with a look of disgust: "Where did so many beggars come from, what are you still doing here, hurry up and get out" said and kicked Jia Tian. Jia Tian screamed "oops" and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." Another guard said, "Wait! Jiang Ming shook Qin Yueru's hand and signaled her not to be afraid. I saw the guard say: "Last night, two Qin prisoners escaped from the mansion of Lord Shangshu Qin of the Ministry of War, have you seen it." Jia Tian said: "My lord, you are just joking, I only recognize the rich lord every day, how can I look at any prisoner." The guard said, "You, let's go." Jiang Ming and Qin Yueru quickened their pace and wanted to walk out of the city gate, but they were stopped, "What are you two doing, raise your head and let me see." Jia Tian saw that the situation was not right, and said, "My lord, the two of them are my brother and my sister-in-law. My brother has a problem, and it's not easy to get a daughter-in-law. How can it be a Qin criminal? He pointed to his head. I saw Jiang Ming hesitantly said: "I want to eat, where is this, I'm hungry, I want to eat." Qin Yueru said: "Okay, okay, I'll find you something to eat when I get out of the city gate, good." As he spoke, he put Jiang Ming's head on his chest and stroked it gently. The guard saw that he was indeed a fool and said, "Go ahead, don't waste time." In this way, Jiang Ming and Qin Yueru finally escaped from Lin'an. Out of Lin'an, Jia Tian said: "I really didn't expect you two to be Qin criminals, do you know that you almost killed us." Jiang Ming said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you, I really didn't say it because there was something unspeakable, but she is indeed the daughter of the military department." Jia Tian said: "Forget it, forget it, since you have also escaped, we will part ways, you take your Yangguan Road and I will cross my single-plank bridge, and it is best to never see each other again." Jiang Ming said: "Then don't do it." "But the great Jiang Ming and Qin Yueru didn't know where to go, so they could only flee with them. Jia Tian said impatiently: "You two have already followed us all the way, what are you going to do." Jiang Ming said: "Don't hide it from Brother Jia, my wife and I are now homeless, and we don't know where to go, so we can only follow Brother Jia to find a place to live, and I hope that Brother Jia will not give up." Jia Tian said helplessly: "Alas, okay! All right! Then you two will follow us. So the group fled together, and after walking for a long time, Jiang Ming saw that Qin Yueru was almost unable to support it, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to sit down and rest." Qin Yueru said, "It's okay, I can still go." Jia Tian saw that everyone was also very tired, and said, "We are tired after walking for so long, let's take a rest first." With that, he beckoned everyone to sit down and rest. As soon as he rested for a while, a group of bandits suddenly came, and the bandit leader said, "Where are you going, what belongings do you have, stay and let you go." When Jia Tian saw this gang of bandits, he was already so frightened that he couldn't walk, and said: "Brother bandits, you see that we are also fleeing, so you can let us go." The leader of the bandits said, "Let you go, will you starve me and my brethren to death, stand still, and the brethren will search me." With that, a few thieves came to search their group. When a bandit put his hand on Jiang Ming, there was a scream of "ah", and then he was pushed out. The bandit leader was anxious and said, "If you dare to resist, hit me." Several thieves rushed forward in a swarm, only to be beaten and. The bandit leader realized that this man was a skilled man, and he mounted his horse and prepared to escape. Jiang Ming dragged him down and said, "You even have to rob refugees, why should you stay in the world for a ruthless person like you." As he spoke, he was about to kill him, and the bandit leader said: "The hero spares his life, I am also forced to do it, we were also fleeing, but we really can't live anymore, so we are forced to be helpless." The rest of the bandits nodded their heads. Jiang Ming said: "Since this is the case, you must change your evil ways in the future, and you can't do these things that hurt heaven and reason anymore." You know? The thief said, "We will definitely be good people in the future, and we will no longer do robbery." Jiang Ming took out some silver taels from his clothes and said, "Take these silver taels and find something to do." The thief took the silver and thanked him again and again before leaving. At this time, Jia Tian said: "I can't see that your kung fu is so high, can you teach me." Jiang Ming asked: "Why do you want to learn martial arts, martial arts are not something that can be practiced overnight." Jia Tian said: "I learned kung fu, I can protect my friends, protect my neighbors, and protect them from being bullied." As he spoke, he looked at his neighbors. Jiang Ming said: "I can teach you kung fu, but you have to practice diligently, otherwise you won't be able to learn." Jia Tian nodded and said, "Thank you Master for teaching, the apprentice will definitely practice diligently." As he spoke, he was about to kneel down to apprentice, Jiang Ming stopped him and said, "No, no, no, how can I be your master, if you don't dislike it, I am older than you, you can call me Brother Jiang." Jia Tian smiled happily: "Brother Jiang." ”
Ever since he saw Jiang Ming's martial arts, Jia Tian has greeted the Jiang couple every day, for fear that they will not eat well and sleep well. Jiang Ming also took advantage of the rest time to teach Jia Tian kung fu every day, and Jia Tian practiced diligently, and he could be regarded as knowing some fist embroidery legs. They walked for about half a month and came to Liuzhou. So he settled here, Jiang Ming built a thatched hut by himself, and Jia Tian found that there was a feng shui treasure outside the city, so he built a village with the villagers outside the city. Jiang Ming made a living by chopping wood every day, and Qin Yueru also practiced sewing at home, and her life was comfortable. But after more than half a year, the money they brought was almost spent. He wandered around the street for about two months and finally saw Cao Mansion post a notice of the Nursing Academy, Jiang Ming unveiled the notice and came to Cao Mansion, Cao Hai has always loved to deal with martial arts people, so after seeing Jiang Ming's kung fu, he treated him with courtesy. After knowing that his family was in difficulty, he gave Jiang Ming a month's salary that day, and Jiang Ming bought some meat and went home that night. As soon as she got home, Qin Yueru saw the meat that Jiang Ming brought in the door, so she looked angry and complained: "The money we brought out is almost spent, why don't you know how to be thrifty, a good meal today may be our food money for a few days......" Jiang Ming blocked Qin Yueru's lips with two fingers, and said: "You used to live the life of an eldest lady in the Qin Mansion, and you enjoyed the delicacies of the mountains and seas every day, but since you followed me, I felt very guilty about the coarse tea and light rice every day." Qin Yueru said: "No, no matter how good the delicacies of the mountains and seas in Qin Mansion are, they can't be worth the happiness of being with you, and no matter how unpalatable the coarse tea and light rice are here, I can eat them with relish." I am very content to be with you, and I am very happy. So don't feel guilty, if you feel guilty, you still don't think of me as your wife. Lying in Jiang Ming's arms as he spoke, Jiang Ming said: "Silly girl, you, you are really stupid." Qin Yueru snuggled in Jiang Ming's arms and said, "Yes, I'm just too stupid, since the moment I met you, I've been stupid and can't extricate myself." In Jiang Ming's heart, he felt very sorry for Qin Yueru, maybe this guilt was greater than love, but in Qin Yueru's heart, being with Jiang Ming was her greatest happiness. Anyway, the two of them live very happily.
Every once in a while, Jia Tian also brought pheasants and hares and the wine he brewed to visit them, and Jia Tian also showed Jiang Ming martial arts every time he came, and let Jiang Ming see if his kung fu had improved, although Jia Tian was not very talented, but he was very diligent, so his martial arts also improved very quickly, every time Jiang Ming praised him, Jia Tian was also very happy to hear Jiang Ming's praise, and he was drunk every time, and he couldn't get up and go home until the next morning.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Jiang Ming has been working in Cao Mansion for a while, and the strange thing is that every time Cao Hai gives more and more wages, Jiang Ming is also a little embarrassed to take it, Cao Hai explained that the reason why he pays more is to value Jiang Ming's martial arts cultivation, and treat Jiang Ming as a friend rather than as a master and servant. Qin Yueru saw that Jiang Ming was getting more and more wages, and she was also very grateful to this Cao Yuanwai. discussed with Jiang Ming when the two of them would go together to thank Cao Hai. On this day, both of them prepared and brought some gifts to Cao Mansion to express their gratitude to Cao Yuanwai, Cao Hai was stunned the moment he saw Qin Yueru, the woman in front of him was like a fairy descending from earth, Cao Hai had never seen such a beautiful woman. Qin Yueru said: "Thank you Cao Yuanwai for taking care of my husband, my husband and I can't repay it, I have prepared some small gifts, and I hope that Cao Yuanwai will smile and accept it." Cao Hai said: "You are too polite, what I value is Brother Jiang's personality and martial arts." This gift is never acceptable. Qin Yueru said: "It's better to ask Cao Yuanwai to accept it, otherwise my husband and I will not be able to get over it." Jiang Ming also said: "It's better to ask someone to accept it." Cao Hai said: "Brother Jiang is too polite, if you really want to repay me, please ask Mrs. Jiang to come into the mansion to accompany my wife." She was sullen all day long, and no one could talk to her, if Mrs. Jiang was willing, she would come to the house during the day like Jiang Ming. Of course, if Mrs. Jiang is unwilling, I will not make it difficult for others. Qin Yueru looked at Jiang Ming and said, "I still have to ask my husband what I mean about this matter." Cao Hai said: "I don't know what Brother Jiang thinks. Jiang Ming said: "It's rare to not give up on the outside, and it's good to let the inner son accompany the wife." Cao Hai was secretly happy in his heart and said, "Okay, this matter is settled, let's invite Mrs. Jiang into the house tomorrow." Jiang Ming nodded.
The sky slowly darkened, Jiang Ming and Qin Yueru were lying in the room, Jiang Ming said: "Tomorrow, when you enter the mansion to accompany your wife, you must act at the opportunity, you have never served others on weekdays, this time I really wronged you." Qin Yueru said: "You fool, how can this be regarded as wronging me?" It's too late for me to be happy to be able to share my husband's worries, I'm really bored at home all day, so it's good to find someone to talk to. Jiang Ming said: "But, ......" Qin Yueru interrupted Jiang Ming's words and said: "Don't be, if you still want to say anything about marrying you and making me feel wronged, I will be angry." I am now your wife, I will do my duty as a wife, I will share the worries and difficulties for my husband, and I will never feel wronged to be with you. Jiang Ming didn't speak again, just hugged Qin Yueru tightly in his arms, and Qin Yueru also snuggled tightly on Jiang Ming's chest, reluctant to leave. The moonlight shone through the window and shone on the two of them, and the two of them were like elves in the night, gradually falling asleep. And in Cao's mansion, it was about to fall out, Mrs. Cao said: "What, you find someone to enter the mansion without my consent, do you still take me as your wife?" Cao Hai said: "Madam, you are bored in the house all day long, I specially found someone to relieve your boredom, isn't it good?" Mrs. Cao said angrily: "Hmph, it sounds good, I don't know your wishful thinking yet, today I came back from shopping and heard the maid say that there is a beautiful woman in the house today, even if the woman sees it, she will be jealous, I'm afraid you have a crush on her." In a word, it's easy to talk about other things, and I won't allow her to enter the house. Cao Hai said angrily: "I am kind enough to think about you, but you still don't appreciate it, I have already said this matter, and I can't take it back, today you have to agree if you don't agree." Mrs. Cao looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Okay, we have been together for so many years, and you have never been so unreasonable to me as you are today. The nice thing is to relieve my boredom, and the ugly thing is that you want to do something with her. With a "snap", Cao Hai slapped Mrs. Cao and said, "I'm telling you that you'd better be at ease these days, don't do anything excessive, what you said is right, I just like her, I just want to get her." If you settle down, you are still Mrs. Cao, if you are so unreasonable, you will not be Mrs. Cao tomorrow. You'd better take good care of her for me these days when she entered the house, and you'd better turn a blind eye to me if something happens, otherwise I'll see how I clean you up. Mrs. Cao was frightened by Cao Hai, she knew in her heart that Cao Hai was a person who did what she said, and if she continued like this, there would definitely be a result that she didn't want to see, so she ran back to the room crying.
Qin Yueru and Jiang Ming came to Cao's Mansion, and the people of the Cao family were polite to Qin Yueru and Jiang Ming, but they made the two of them very uncomfortable. Steward Cao led Qin Yueru to the door of Mrs. Cao's room and said, "This is Madame's room, Madame is inside, you can go in." Qin Yueru nodded, and the housekeeper left. Qin Yueru knocked on the door and said, "Come in." Qin Yueru pushed open the door, only to see Mrs. Cao dressing up, Mrs. Cao said to the maid, "You go down first." The maids retreated, Qin Yueru walked up, and Mrs. Cao said: "Sure enough, it's a fox, no wonder it can make men fascinated, since you are here, come and dress me." Qin Yueru didn't understand what Mrs. Cao was saying at all, so she picked up a wooden comb and combed Mrs. Cao's hair, Mrs. Cao screamed "oops", turned around and gave Qin Yueru a backhand slap, and said, "Do you know how to comb your hair, why are you working so hard, do you want to tear my hair off?" Qin Yueru was frightened by Mrs. Cao, she didn't expect Mrs. Cao to be so arrogant at all, and said: "It's all my fault for being clumsy, I'm really sorry for hurting Mrs. Seeing that Qin Yueru was so obedient, Mrs. Cao looked for Qin Yueru everywhere, and either beat or scolded Qin Yueru at the end of the day. Qin Yueru didn't know why Mrs. Cao was so dissatisfied with herself, no matter how Mrs. Cao beat and scolded, she didn't have any complaints. I thought: Maybe it's just that Madame is in a bad mood, and maybe she'll be in a better mood when she's done venting. When Mrs. Cao saw that Qin Yue was obedient, she was even more angry. At the end of the day, Qin Yueru's body was already scarred. It was late when Qin Yueru and Jiang Ming returned home, and Jiang Ming asked, "Are you still used to being in Cao Mansion today?" Qin Yueru said with a smile: "Habit, Madam is very good to me, let me taste any pastries, I'm really afraid that if I eat like this for a few more days, I will be so fat that you don't like me." Jiang Ming lightly tapped Qin Yueru's forehead and said, "Fool, no matter how fat you are, I will like you." As he spoke, he hugged Qin Yueru in his arms, and happened to touch Qin Yueru's wound, Qin Yueru cried out in pain, Jiang Ming asked, "What's wrong?" Qin Yueru shook her head and said, "It's okay." Jiang Ming said: "Are you hiding something from me?" As he spoke, he rolled up Qin Yueru's sleeves, saw the scars, and said distressedly: "Is Madam not good to you?" Did she hit you? Why didn't you tell me? Don't go again tomorrow, I'll tell you. Qin Yueru said: "It's nothing, it's just that Mrs. is in a bad mood today, just wait for her to be angry, I see that Mrs. seems to have something on her mind today, and the purpose of my trip to Caofu is to enlighten her." Believe me, I'm going to make Madame happy. Jiang Ming said helplessly: "You, you are always so optimistic." I can't help it. Qin Yueru said: "Because I believe that tomorrow will be fine, as long as my heart is full of hope, everything will be fine." With that, he lay in Jiang Ming's arms. The two gradually fell asleep.
