Chapter 69: The Hunt

The three of them walked to the river, and there happened to be a relatively flat stone in front of them, and they were exhausted at this time, and every step seemed to exhaust the last trace of strength. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The three of them sat with their backs to each other, panting on the stones, tired and thirsty, except for the porridge in the past few days, they had not entered the water, and their lips were very dry, and at this moment they finally saw the water source, and after resting for a while, they had the strength to get up and go to the river to drink.

At this time, they squatted on the shore, the river was crystal clear, took a handful of water, drank it into their mouths but did not swallow it, rinsed their mouths vigorously a few times, spit on the shore, and then began to drink water.

Yu Guang saw the movements of the two people opposite, and the three of them were unexpectedly the same, looking at each other and smiling.

It seems that the rat banquet a few hours ago, the three of them all remember it vividly, and the nausea at this time came up again, and there was a sour smell of blood lingering in their mouths.

Fortunately, they escaped, otherwise the crime would not only be in vain, but those people could not tell what to do to torture them, after all, to them they were fish to be slaughtered on the board.

Hua Ming is much more sober at the moment, and the feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe is not obvious at first, but now the whole person is relaxed, and the mood is excellent, and his face shows sweet dimples.

"Miss Seven, we are lost in this forest now, how should we go?"

Lin Yidai's brows were tightly locked, and she didn't see a trace of relaxation, she was in a tense state all the time, rubbing her eyebrows.

"Let's go down this river, you can always meet people, and it would be best if you could ask for directions. Besides, we have nothing in us, and if we don't follow the river, we don't have any water to drink. ”

The next sentence made Hua Ming's mood that had finally eased up again.

"However, when the day comes, Aunt He will send someone to deliver food, the long bamboo pole is dead, the news of our escape will definitely be discovered, and we will be in danger at that time, in short, we have to hurry up."

Hua Ming's originally somewhat relaxed mood was suspended again at this moment, she thought that they were out of danger, but she didn't think that they were not safe. There was a hint of anxiety in his tone.

"Without further ado, let's go quickly, Miss Seven."

The three of them didn't sleep for a moment last night, and they were tired and sleepy overnight, so they could only pat a few handfuls of water on their faces, and use the coolness of the river to dispel their sleepiness, but the landscape at this time was beautiful and picturesque, and they became a stark contrast.

A soft mist rose from the river, and the mountains were smeared with a soft milky white, and the white mist rendered everything hazy and psychedelic. The mountains to the east were already shimmering, and the treetops were singing as if to welcome the dawn.

What a beautiful morning, cosy and comfortable!

No matter what danger they were suffering, the sun and the moon rose as usual, and every grass and tree told them that heaven and earth would never stop running for anyone, and no one would be the darling of heaven and earth.

Lin Yidai has always thought that she is transparent, low-key and cautious, she thinks that in this way, she can avoid attracting people's eyes and avoid trouble.

Now she realized that all this was nothing more than her self-righteousness! She is not low-key and cautious, afraid of taking responsibility, and enjoys the favor of everyone in the Lin Mansion, but she is selfish and only seeks self-preservation!

In his position, he does not do anything!

For everything is just passively accepting, never thinking about her, she has been lost in the comfort brought by the Lin Mansion.

……

Liu Di suddenly disrupted her thoughts, and she couldn't suppress the surprise in her voice.

"Miss Seven, there seems to be a farmhouse in front of you."

Hua Ming also looked at Liu Yan's hand and jumped up to clap it.

"Yes, the slave and maid also saw it, and it was great, it was great."

Lin Yidai was also infected by them, saw hope in her heart, and all her troubles were temporarily left behind.

Walking into the farmhouse, the door is wide open.

An old woman was fiddling with dried radishes on the ground, taking advantage of the sun to come out and take them out to dry.

The three of them approached the farmhouse, and Lin Yidai said cautiously.

As he spoke, he was about to withdraw the jade bracelet on his wrist.

"Mother-in-law, can we please stutter? I'll trade things for you. ”

Liu Yan pressed Lin Yidai's hand and took a hairpin from her head.

"Miss Seven, this bracelet is so valuable, use this hairpin from the slave, although it is not worth a few dollars, it is pure silver, and it is enough to change food."

He looked at the old woman with a smile on his face.

"Mother-in-law, take this hairpin and exchange it for a few bites of food with you, is it okay?"

The old woman looked at Mian Shan, but at this time she pretended to be angry and waved her hand.

"Little girl, don't worry, the old woman can still handle a meal, you guys are like this, what do you think of the old woman."

Liu Yan opened his mouth to explain.

"That's not what we meant, it's just ......"

Lin Yidai raised her hand and pressed her, this mother-in-law is a backbone, and giving her a reward humiliates her.

Sure enough, the mother-in-law smiled and nodded, and said to them.

"Come in with me, and I'll bring you something to eat."

Lin Yidai gave a half-salute.

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

The mother-in-law led them into the house, which was very poorly decorated, with a bed and a table.

I gave them some steamed buns, which had just been steamed, and they were still steaming hot.

After dinner, my mother-in-law sat and chatted with them.

"Little girl, the old woman sees that you are gorgeously dressed, you should be from a rich and noble family, how did you run to this wilderness?"

Knowing too much is not a good thing for the mother-in-law, and they have taken them in in a good manner, but they can't cause trouble for them.

Lin Yidai thought about it and smiled lightly.

"Mother-in-law, we came out of the capital, and we were abducted here by abductors, and we escaped while they weren't paying attention."

I was afraid that my mother-in-law would be entangled in this problem, and she wouldn't be able to make it up, and she would understand how wrong it was, so she diverted the topic.

"Mother-in-law, where the hell is this?"

The mother-in-law spoke slowly, but in detail.

"Here, the well dam in the west of the capital is not far from the capital, and it is only ten miles away."

Ten miles away, where is it not far?

Hua Ming has been serving by Lin Yidai's side since she was a child, and she has never suffered much.

At this time, I had a bitter face when I heard it.

"Huh? So far, how long does it take to walk. ”

The mother-in-law smiled kindly, and the three girls looked like they had never suffered at a glance, so they sent the Buddha to the west.

"It will take six or seven hours to travel with your feet. Stay here for one night, and tomorrow I'll let the old man pull the ox cart and take you back, and you'll be there in two or three hours. ”

What a good Samaritan!

However, they can't accept this intention with peace of mind.

"Mother-in-law, I'm bothering you, but you must take this fork, we will not only disturb you for one night now, but also trouble you tomorrow. If you don't accept it, we won't be able to erase our faces. ”

The mother-in-law also saw that the three girls were thin-skinned and couldn't wipe their faces.

Their behavior like this made her look high, knowing that Entu was a good girl, and her wife helped the right person this time.

"Okay, the old woman accepts it, and the three girls can live in peace."

Lin Yidai was a little happy to see her mother-in-law accept it.

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

The mother-in-law withdrew from the house and closed the door, and the three girls hurried all night, afraid that they would have to rest.

"Miss Seven, we're so lucky, we've met a good person."

"I don't know if we will cause any trouble for my mother-in-law's family if we live here."

"No, Miss Seven, there is no road in this forest, we are all walking randomly, how can it be so easy to find us, we will leave early tomorrow morning, and we will not be afraid of them when we return to the capital."

"That's right, I'm thinking too much, let's rest."

Lin Yidai walked to the edge of the collapse, and noticed that the willow behind her was standing in place without moving.

"You'd better come and sleep."

"Miss Seven, the slave maid and Hua Ming will sleep on the ground, you can sleep first."

"This is not a house in the house, there is not even a step, there is no extra quilt in this house, now we are all like this, and we still pay attention to the rules of Rausch, let's sleep in peace."

The two maids hesitated for a moment, but finally made a decision.

"Yes, Miss Seven."

The sun was scorching, there was not a trace of wind, the leaves were hanging low, the cicadas were screaming, but the three masters and servants slept very peacefully.

……

The Scar Man led a group of men in black with torches to track them down.

Raising his right hand and waving in the air, the black-clothed soldiers surrounded the entire room in two ways.

There was a lot of noise outside the farmhouse, the old man was not sleeping well, and their house was closer to the door, and the old couple was woken up, so the old man volunteered to go out and have a look.

Slowly open the door and keep muttering.

"Who is it in the middle of the night?"

Before the old man could see the appearance of the person in front of him, the scar man had already gone in and out with a white knife and a red knife, stabbing the old man in the heart.

"Ahh

The blow was fatal, and the old man fell headlong.

The mother-in-law watched the old man go out and didn't stop, and followed out, afraid that something would happen.

"Old man, what's wrong.

As soon as she arrived at the door, her eyes widened, and the person who was arguing with her just now was lying in a pool of blood at this time.

She immediately pounced on the old man, trembling all over, raised her head violently, looked at the scar man in front of her and the knife in his hand that was still bleeding, and she didn't understand anything. His eyes were bloodshot.

"Ah, old man, you, you, I'll fight with you."

Standing up like a scarred man pounced.

There was a sneer on Scar Man's face.

Bite off more than one can chew!

The white light flashed in her hand, and her mother-in-law stared at her eyes and collapsed, and the bowl wound on her neck was dead. (To be continued.) )
