Chapter 004: The heart is separated from the belly

Nanhuai, a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River, is the hometown of mountains and rivers, with picturesque scenery and stunning beauty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Even when the lights are on, the streets and alleys are brightly lit and lively.

Meng Luozheng ran desperately, just like the street scene in the past, in the bumpy vision, it became strange, obviously this is where she grew up, no one is more familiar than her, but now in her eyes, it has completely changed, distorted to strangeness, and her heart is full of unprecedented fear.

She only had two words on her mind now--- run.

And she couldn't stop, even faster, fast enough to get rid of those who were chasing her.

She must not be caught!

She didn't know how she managed to escape from the noses of the officers and soldiers, but in short, she didn't have to run anymore.

Once a person loses the sense of crisis, the fatigue of the body and the sadness in the heart all come back, overwhelmingly enveloping the whole body.

Meng Luo huddled in a deserted alley, his back against the cold and dirty brick wall, his slender arms wrapped around his knees, his head buried, and after enduring a day's tears, he finally had time to release.

Woo woo ~ Why did it become like this?

What's going on?

Dad, mother, brother, Luoluo misses you so much~

She cried for a long time, until she woke up the next day and realized that she had fallen asleep crying like this last night.

This was the first time she hadn't slept in her boudoir, and the cold morning made her feel a little uncomfortable, but the most important thing now was not these, but the situation of the Meng family.

Yesterday, Meng Qin let her escape alone, and it is conceivable that her family should be arrested by the government now.

On the way to be chased yesterday, she thought that if she was caught, then she should be able to see her father and brother soon, and their family would be reunited.

But when she remembered that her brother was desperate to let her escape first, how could she let him down, because Meng Qin had always had his considerations in doing things, and this time must be no exception, so she couldn't be impulsive.

Now, she is the only one who can save the Meng family.

The genius is bright, the vendors along the street have come out to set up stalls, and some tea houses and noodle restaurants will also be open during this time.

Meng Luo was penniless, and he tossed for a day and a whole night, and his stomach was already rumbling with hunger.

She went to a cloth village, ready to sell the dress on her body, so out of the cloud dress hall in the south of the city, she will be able to sell a lot of silver, the key cloth village proprietress still knows her, and she is very good to her on weekdays, every time she comes to choose materials with Meng Qin, the store will send extra clothes, materials, and snacks, and this time it will definitely be the same.

Familiarly walked into the cloth village, and sure enough, I heard the warm greeting of the proprietress of the cloth village, but when the proprietress saw clearly that it was Meng Luo, the smile on her face froze instantly, and the peddling words that she had always said in her mouth were like a stuck shell at the moment, and she was halfway through.

Meng Luo had no choice but to follow her strange appearance, stand at the door, look around the store with no place to go, and then smiled weakly at the proprietress and said, "Boss, can you please do me a favor?" ā€

After Dao came to the point, the proprietress finally recovered and took her to the inner hall.

Through the previous reaction of the proprietress, Meng Luo guessed that she should have heard about the situation of the Meng family, and she also knew that the Meng family was so famous in Nanhuai City, and such a big thing happened yesterday, and it was very unlikely that she didn't know.

"Don't worry, on weekdays, your Meng family takes care of our small businessmen so much, this time you are in big trouble, although we are weak, but we can help as much as we can." The proprietress took out twenty taels of silver from the counter, put a cushion in her hand, and then handed it to Meng Luo without any nostalgia, "You keep the clothes for yourself, maybe they can come in handy in the future," she pushed back the skirt that Meng Luo planned to sell, and said, "This money should be a little bit of our heart, I hope the eldest lady will not be too little." Oh, and by the way, there's also two outfits that don't stand out, and it's an eventful time for you to be careful when you're out and about. ā€

Meng Luo knew that the proprietress was a good person, and immediately did not say a word of thanks, and said goodbye to the proprietress after taking the things and money, only saying that the Meng family would be wronged in the future, and they would thank each other with generous gifts.

Changed into a coarse linen dress, Meng Luo wandered on the street pretending to be a small servant, sure enough, she was a person who relied on clothes and changed her outfit, as if no one recognized her.

Yesterday, the officers and soldiers who shouted and shouted and killed passed by her, and none of them recognized her.

Meng Luo felt very thrilling, but she had to know how to restrain herself, which Meng Qin often warned her, so she didn't dare to make too much trouble, travel normally, eat normally, and inquire about the situation of the Meng family normally.

When she was in Buzhuang, she also asked the proprietress about it, but the proprietress didn't know much, and she didn't even know it as well, so Meng Luo had to come to the street to ask.

Who knew that the news that I came back was shocking.

Yesterday, someone reported to the government that the Meng family smuggled official salt, and seized the stolen goods on the spot, the evidence is conclusive, the Meng family all the old and young took it on the spot, it is reported that only the eldest lady of the Meng family escaped alone, and now it is being arrested in the whole city.

Selling official salt? Father...... How could their Meng family sell official salt? There must be something wrong with this!

Meng Luo firmly believed in his judgment, held back the resentment in his heart, and once again inquired where the people of the Meng family were taken.

When I heard that the verdict came down yesterday, early this morning, the Meng family was escorted out of the city and headed to the north.

"What are they doing in the north?"

Meng Luo's questioning made passers-by laugh, and passers-by saw that she was still young, and they were afraid that they didn't know very well, so they kindly explained to her, "You don't know about the north yet?" It's a place of extreme suffering, and people basically don't have much to live for the rest of their lives when they get there, and it's a long way to go, and it's another story if they can't get there. At the end of the words, the passerby shook his head and sighed and left.

Meng Luoze's whole person seemed to be drained by someone, and she came to the street where no one was there one step by step, sat down, and immediately hugged her head and cried, she didn't dare to cry too loudly, for fear of attracting the attention of others, especially the attention of officers and soldiers, so she could only vent the sadness in her heart by burying her head in silent tears.

ā—‡

Their Meng family is everyone, since something happened to their family, I don't know what happened to other relatives' families? If you are not implicated, you should be able to ask them for help.

This was the first decision made by Meng Luo after crying.

However, what she didn't expect was that the doors of her relatives' houses were closed to her one after another.

"Uncle and aunt, open the door, please help me."

"Aunt~ I'm Meng Luo, a few years ago, my uncle was seriously ill and had to sell his land and house, or my father and my mother paid for you, you can't stand by at this time!"

After being repeatedly closed, Meng Luo no longer reported any hope, and looked down at the only things he had on his body, all of which he had obtained from the proprietress of the cloth village.

After this incident, Meng Luo felt that he had suddenly grown up.

The proprietress of the cloth village is just an outsider, she can do her best to help in times of crisis, and these relatives who usually receive favors, and relatives who are still related to her by blood, will only protect themselves and have nothing to do with themselves.

Sure enough, as her father often said, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs.
