Ning Xiang saw that his expression was wrong, and she was afraid that he would find out her identity as a woman, so she hurriedly looked at her body secretly, and saw that there was nothing wrong with her, so she breathed a sigh of relief. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Her eyes turned around quietly, sweeping over several people in front of her, two middle-aged men, one sitting on the side of the road, one standing on the side of the road, one closed his eyes to recuperate, and one kept a torch in his hand, suspected of keeping vigil.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual around him, the young man had already laid down and rested, Ning Xiang turned around and continued to meditate silently.

The next day, when she opened her eyes, it was already dark, but the people had not yet moved.

She hesitated whether to go first by herself, or to continue to follow the ox cart of these people later, and just as she hesitated, the young man named Qiangzi strode towards her with a water bladder in his hand,

He approached Ning Xiang, handed the water bladder, and asked casually, "What is the name of the little brother, how old is it?" Do you want to drink water? ”

Younger brother? Ning Xiang raised her eyebrows, why did she suddenly come over and almost set up with herself? It's just that this young man named Hadron has a voice change period, and his voice is like a male duck crowing, which is hard to hear. He looks like he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks honest when he smiles.

The water bladder in his hand seemed to have been used by several people on the ox cart, Ning Xiang was disgusted, but a smile appeared on his face, and he deliberately lowered his voice, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, I'm not thirsty." Under Li Qing, he is fourteen years old. She deliberately said that she was a year older, although she looked younger than her actual age, but there are many people in the countryside who do not have enough to eat, and because of the lack of nutrition, many of them look much younger than their actual age, which does not arouse suspicion.

Qiangzi didn't care about retracting the water bladder, and asked again, "It turns out that the little brother's name is Li Qing, then I will call you Brother Qing, my surname is Wang, my name is Qiangzi, two years older than you, you can call me Brother Qiangzi." May I ask Brother Qing, where do you live and where do you want to go? I saw that you were alone, and I came to ask you if there was anything I needed help with? ”

The water delivery is fake, and the bottom is true. After all, the other party was not blind, and a strange boy followed them behind the ox cart all night, but it was unreasonable to ask.

Thinking of this, Ning Xiang casually said, "My younger brother's family lives in Muling Village, and I want to go to Qingjiang Wharf to take a boat south. Fortunately, she was secretly attentive to the places they had traveled and had been able to name and place the village.

At this time, they were in the territory of the Southern Dynasties, in addition to knowing Tianshui County, Muling Village, Wangjia Village.... She had walked through the places outside of the territory, but she didn't know anything about the rest of the place.

Qiangzi saw that his ox cart was about to leave, and he was busy saying to Ning Xiang; "My family and I also went to Qingjiang Wharf, and I hit it off at first sight, so let's talk while walking."

Familiar at first sight? Our brothers? Talking while walking? What the heck? Ning Xiang muttered in her heart, it seems that this young man is still not at ease with himself. Ning Xiang frowned slightly, sighed secretly in her heart, did not show it on her face, and replied pretending to be happy, "Okay." ”

Exploring words, clichés, Ning Xiang has already practiced to the point of perfection, how can he not say anything in front of Qiangzi.

In order to prevent Mama Li from sending someone to the dock to find her, she pretended to be physically weak and said, "Brother Qiangzi, how much more time will it take to get to the riverside?" ”

Hadron replied, "Two hours." ”

Ning Xiang thought about it on her face, and found that she was gone, Mama Li and the others must be looking for it, but now there are homeless people everywhere, although they have two guards, but they are not useful against the large number of homeless, so they are in danger, even for their own safety, it is estimated that they will not stay here for too long.

Qiangzi asked curiously at Ning Xiang's silent face. "How could Brother Qing follow the people of our village?"

It is impossible for people to answer what they ask obediently, and to say more and more wrong, but it is not possible to completely ignore it. Ning Xiang pondered how to reply to this in her heart, for fear that if she said something wrong, she would show her feet.

Ning Xiang secretly pinched her thigh, forcing out two tears, and her tone was sad and angry, "I have been weak since I was a child, and I can't do heavy work." It's not as likable as my healthy and strong brother, and my stepmother doesn't like me. The older my stepmother is, the more she can't tolerate me. Just the day before yesterday, my stepmother provoked in front of my father, saying that I couldn't lift my hands and shoulders, and that I was a waste person who just ate and didn't work..... Anyway, after saying all those ugly words, I couldn't bear it, and I left home in a rage..."

Before Qiangzi opened his mouth to persuade him, Ning Xiang hurriedly took the lead to block his unspoken words.

I saw her raise her sleeves to wipe the tears on her face, and said fiercely, "Brother Qiangzi, I know that you are a good person, your own family has just suffered a big disaster, and you still care so much about your little brother, you want to persuade me to go home." But when I left home, my little brother and I swore a poisonous oath that I must make a name for myself, and I would rather die outside than return home instead of mixing up my personal appearance! ”

Qiangzi suddenly had nothing to say, the old scalper rested for a night, relieved himself, but never lost his temper again, and slowly swayed all the way to Qingjiang Wharf.

When they arrived at the dock, Ning Xiang made it easy for Qiangzi and their family to say goodbye.

Qingjiang Wharf is just a small wharf, not big, but it is very lively.

The upstream of the wharf is connected to several villages such as the southern county government, and the downstream is close to several counties in the southwest county.

As soon as Ning Xiang arrived at Qingjiang Wharf, he chose an inconspicuous roadside stall and spent a few copper plates to eat a bowl of clear soup noodles.

The noodle stall was opened by an old couple, she ate good noodles, asked which inn nearby had a good reputation, and under the guidance of the old couple, she entered the Zhang Ji Inn.

Zhang Ji Inn, medium and low grade, two floors.

Ning Xiang asked for a room on the street, and paid for a day's room first, twenty copper plates.

The room she lived in was located in the middle of the second floor, Ning Xiang glanced at the layout of the room casually, the room was not big but it was clean and tidy.

She nodded with satisfaction, took out three copper plates and gave them to the shopkeeper who led the way, and asked him to fetch a bucket of hot water.

After a while, the hot water was sent, and after Ning Xiang took a comfortable bath, he slept happily.

After sleeping until the afternoon, she wiped the black ash on her face again before leaving the inn, and ordered a bowl of sauerkraut noodles to eat at the noodle stall of the old couple.

On the way to eat, I passed an open-air tea stall, and a table of people in the tea stall was talking energetically, and one of the men in his thirties said; “... That little girl is so beautiful, she is dressed in white and has a beautiful body, especially the little face is whiter and tenderer than the egg with the shell peeled, and she looks like a beauty from the south... It's a pity that it was ruined by those outcasts..."

Ning Xiang shuddered when she heard this, although her body hadn't grown much yet, she couldn't bear the fact that this face grew outstandingly, if she fell into the bad guys, the consequences would be unimaginable. Fortunately, her face has been smeared all over the place, and her figure is immature, which is not too noticeable.

In this chaotic world, a weak woman has to be 10,000 careful outside. After thinking about it, she still had to go to the pharmacy and buy a few medicinal herbs to make some disfigurement powder by herself, otherwise if the black ash on her face was wet or rainy, she was afraid that she would not be able to cover it.
