Baoyu pulled Qin Zhong to hide under the boss's desk, and the Qing soldiers chased him to the kitchen, made a chicken and dog jump, but did not find anyone, and came back to drive all the people in the hall together and search them one by one. Baoyu was also blasted out from under the table. A few Qing soldiers saw that they were gorgeously dressed, and a small leader snatched their package, made a search, and gave the package to his subordinates, "Take it back and check it slowly." The three of them were about to talk, because they ran out secretly, and they didn't want to leak the news, so they had to look at each other without revealing their identities. The shopkeeper accompanied him carefully, begged them to let go of a few young masters and a group of guests who were eating, and took the silver to dot the thousand households, and repeatedly explained that he really didn't know how this Li Laiheng came to this place, and these young masters must have no contact with that Li Laiheng.

The thousand households thought that the silver was less, and said, "You will chase the thief for a long time, and the thief will give you this bit of silver" The little soldier came over and collected the silver. is still saying that the owner of the store must hand over the people, otherwise the boss's store will be closed.

A gorgeously dressed girl appeared on the second floor, "Ke Duan Qianhu, even the store opened by the nephew of the lord of the nine provinces dares to make such a fuss, you are really bold." Do you want me to ask you Liu Zongbing to administer justice? ”

Someone around Qianhu named Ke Duan had already made the origin of this Linjiang Building clear, and Ke Qianhu was obviously an old treacherous and cunning, "It turned out to be Miss Xue, we were catching the thief, and we didn't dare to disturb Miss, but this thief ran away from your store, let's check it more, and we are also responsible for the ruler." The whereabouts of these people are suspicious, let's interrogate them, and now it's okay, so naturally we will let them go. ”

When Baoyu heard that the girl's surname was Xue, her heart moved, and she looked up at her unconsciously, but the girl also saw his face. He looked at this girl, more beautiful than Baochai, like a figure in a Western painting.

Baoyu went out this time, and saw along the way that the Han people were displaced, the fields were barren, and the beauty of Jinling was now destroyed by the exiles and wars. Looking at these Qing soldiers, called bandits, they are actually more powerful than bandits, but they don't have fists and feet, and they can only swallow their anger, and they come out secretly, they are really afraid of meeting acquaintances here, and when they saw the girl looking at him with their eyes, they shrank their necks and turned their faces. Qin Zhong and Wei Ruolan pretended not to know anything, and begged for mercy stupidly, Qing Bing saw that these were all teenagers who were not as old as the weak crown, and they were strangers in their accents, and some people interfered, and they didn't return the package, and drove the three of them out with a shout.

As soon as Baoyu went out, he went to lead his horse, and the Qing soldiers outside the door drove the three of them away with guns and sticks, saying that these horses were requisitioned, Baoyu was so angry that he had no money, and there were no horses.

Wei Ruolan said to Qin Zhong, you take Baoyu to the front woods and wait for me, and watch me get the horse back.

Baoyu was still worried, Qin Zhong smiled, don't worry, his family has been a horse trainer for generations, and all the horses on the grassland obey their family's Ruolan. Pulling Baoyu towards the woods in front. Wei Ruolan hid on the roof of the opposite house and saw the soldiers leave the hotel, and their three horses were driven forward by them with whips. Wei Ruolan leaned out half of her body from the roof, pecked her mouth and whistled a few long and short whistles, and the three horses immediately galloped forward. The rest of the horses were whirling on the spot, and there was no one to direct them. Wei Ruolan's light skills are excellent, she opened her posture and ran on the roof, there was a general named Nie Qing in the Qing soldiers who had been outside the door, as soon as he saw Wei Ruolan appear, he immediately crossed the roof and followed, he was a master of hidden weapons, and he fired a few darts at Wei Ruolan's back. In the oblique thorn, a monk used a Zen staff to block the dart completely. Wei Ruolan didn't have time to thank her, jumped to another roof, and soon caught up with her horse. He jumped up. Running into the woods with two other horses. Over there, Qin Zhong and Baoyu were still on the road and had not entered the woods, and when they saw him coming, they were overjoyed, jumped on their horses, and ran into the woods.

Wei Ruolan said that she had just met a life-saving benefactor, and she hadn't had time to thank them. Thinking of Liu Xianglian running away with Li Laiheng, I felt very sad, but fortunately, with Baoyu and Qin Zhong by my side, it was a little better. But there was no silver in their hands, and the three of them had lost their weapons in order to avoid interrogation, and they didn't even have anything to pawn. You can't stop eating or drinking.

Baoyu thought for a while and said I remember that Aunt Xue has some hotels and post stations in this area, and no matter where we eat, we will say that it is her nephew, and there will be no mistake.

Qin Zhong smiled: "Then it is better to move out of your uncle's name." Just say you're his nephew," Baoyu laughed; "You don't understand this, most of my uncle's family were born as generals, it's okay to grab money, but you can't manage money, today's guys may be controlled by my uncle, if we are not afraid that our parents will know, we will report the name directly, I am afraid that they will not be scared." Qin Zhong remembered now, "Oh, the prince of Beijing gave me a token, I was in a hurry, I forgot to take it out, and I snatched it directly in that package." ”

Wei Ruolan smiled: "After a while, they will definitely look for us everywhere to apologize, and grab the subordinates of the Beijing Palace, I am afraid that they will not be scared to death." ”

Baoyu said: "We don't go out much, we have no experience, Wei Gongzi is always out and about, how can we not prepare for an investigation." ”

Wei Ruolan shyly said: "My affairs have always been worried about Brother Liu, and I left suddenly, and I couldn't think of anything." I'm afraid this token is in Brother Liu's waist. ”

Baoyu smiled: "Back then, Xue Nerd wanted to show goodwill with Brother Liu, and he was designed to earn money outside the city, and he was beaten well, he was very good to you." ”

Wei Ruolan said with a smile: "Actually, we are also brothers, but I have been old for a few years, and he is so prodigal, he has been running out for more than half a year, and he always wants to start a family, I don't want to start a family, and I don't want to be too turbulent." There is really no way, deliberately make a daughter and stick to him. Just looking at him a little older. You see, I'm sticking like this, and he still says to run away and go to be a bandit. ”

Qin Zhongdao: "Li Laiheng is not a bandit, he is a hero who resisted the Qing Dynasty. ”

Wei Ruolan said: "Okay, if I'm wrong, it's your Han hero and my Manchurian bandit." ”

Baoyu was busy telling Xue nerd's jokes and diverting the positions of the two people.

When the three of them talked about Xue Nerd, they all thought it was funny. After running for a long time, I was really sleepy and tired, and I was hesitating when I saw that it was getting late, and suddenly I saw two foals galloping with two girls, and the two girls laughed and laughed; What Miss is looking for, I'm afraid it's not these three sons. I guess so, Miss said there was a boy in red.

Eh, the girl came over with a horse and smiled, "The three sons in front of me were drinking in Linjiang Building just now." ”

Qin Zhongwei Ruolan was shaking his head, but Baoyu said, "It's down." Qin Zhong was helpless, so he had no choice but to stop the horse and return a salute.

"Then you come with us." Baoyu immediately followed, and Qin Zhongwei Ruolan had no choice but to follow.

Really arrived at an inn Xue Ji, the two girls took them to an upper room, served tea, and prepared a few fine side dishes, everyone really didn't expect to have such an adventure, I don't know whether to drink or not, to eat or not, but to see a gorgeously dressed girl come in with a smile, it is indeed the girl who relieved them during the day. Baoyu laughed: "Now the real cousin is here." ”

Xue Baoqin smiled: "I have a cousin, my mother said that he was born with jade, and the family is like a baby, you say it is my cousin, but there is no jade." Baoyu smiled embarrassedly: "You are Sister Baoqin, I was afraid that it would be inconvenient on the road, so I didn't bring that jade." But I also know that your sister Baochai has a collar with these words on it. He said the words that he would never leave and that he would never leave him.

"You know these words, so it's really my cousin. My sister never shows this to others, come, Brother Baoyu, I was frightened today, little sister, I toast you. He also asked the family to prepare some silver taels for Baoyu to compensate for the increasing losses. Baoyu saw that her eyes were bright, her atmosphere was lively, and she was so cute, she couldn't help but drink one more glass. The little maid came in and said that she made the finch that the young lady beat today into a dish for wine, and the finch was brought up, fried to the outside yellow and tender inside, Baoyu couldn't bear to eat these, Baoqin smiled: "Brother Baoyu is still a bodhisattva, then you watch, we eat." "Drinking with Wei Ruolan and guessing boxing, Qin Zhong is not good at giving orders, so he only cares about eating. Baoyu used a little side dish.

Baoyu saw that Baoqin was drunk, guessed the boxing order, and sweated slightly, so he naturally had a heroic style. I can't help but think of Daiyu again, thinking of Sister Lin's melancholy and sentimental, as if she is carrying countless pains. If there is the brightness of this girl, I can also be less concerned, thinking of this, the strength of the wine came up, and I was suddenly anxious, and I hated to go to her with wings. I wanted to go overnight.

Baoqin laughed: "Brother can't go out so late, the road here is not very peaceful, in addition to bandits at night, there are also some Qing soldiers who come out to rob, and there are big insects these times." Recently, the big insects in the mountains have also injured a lot of people. ”

As he was talking, he saw a person jump out, "Okay, you Baoyu, let me catch it now, and I ran here with my family behind my back." "But it's Xue Nerd, Xue Pan." And you Qin Zhong, you two have done a good job, watch me sue Uncle Sù for beating your board. "It's a lot of fun, and it's really fun for everyone to meet in another country. Xue Pan laughed: "I just broke up with Brother Liu. Qin Zhong smiled: "A while ago in the capital, didn't you just be beaten by him, how would you call a brother." ”

"I deserve that beating, Brother Liu is upright, I shouldn't think about it. He and I are brothers now.

Everyone was busy asking questions. He drank for a long time, sat down and spoke: "I came out of the capital in the first half of the year, and I just arrived here in the afternoon today, and I met a group of Qing soldiers chasing some anti-thieves, and they robbed my luggage and silver, and I didn't want Brother Liu and a couple of men and women to rush out, beat this group of thieves all over the ground to find teeth, and recovered my belongings and horses. He couldn't resist me, and we became brothers at that time. Wei Ruolan was excited, "Brother Liu didn't say where he went. ”

"He followed that Li Gongzi to the mountains."

"He's really gone."

Wei Ruolan sighed.

Baoyu said: "Liu Xianglian was originally a chivalrous person, which is also a personal karma. ”

That Qin Zhong said, "Speaking of cause and effect, when I saw this Li Laiheng today, I always felt that I had seen it somewhere. ”

Baoyu said: "I think you are a little similar, but he is a little darker and thinner, and he looks more heroic." ”

Xue Pan also smiled: "It's true, you two are really a little similar." If you also have long hair, it will be the younger Li Laiheng, he will not be your father. ”

"What are you talking about, how do you be a father, you should be in your thirties, it's my brother who is about the same"

"He's only afraid that you're fourteen or fifteen years older than you, how can there be a brother so far away," Baoyu said.

Xue Baoqin said: "There are many brothers in the emperor's family, but there are many people who have children at the age of fourteen or fifteen. My mother didn't have my brother when she was fifteen. Xue Pan laughed: "My two younger sisters will talk about the emperor's family all day long, if it weren't for the chaos in the world, there would be no problem for my two younger sisters to be queens." ”

Xue Baoqin's face flushed: "Brother, you said" took a powder fist and hammered her brother. "Whoever wants to be the queen will do it, I will not marry in my life. Right at home. ”

Baoyu was stunned for a while, thinking that this Xue nerd was so stupid, and it was really a blessing to give birth to such two younger sisters, so he couldn't help but think of Daiyu again.

When he slept in bed at night, he was just about to fall asleep, when he saw Sister Lin come to see him and said that he was going to Suzhou, so he should take care of himself. I woke up again, and I was surprised at this time, and sighed for a long time, feeling that Sister Lin was really fierce. I really couldn't sleep, so I simply got up quietly, left a letter for Qin Zhongwei Ruolan, led the horse by myself, and ran to Guazhou alone.

Not to mention that Baoyu ran away at night, Liu Liangzuo here looked at the token sent by Bing Keduan, which was found in the package of the three teenagers during the day. These three waist cards made him very confused. One is from the Beijing Palace, one is the waist card of the Beijing Weijia Guard, and the other is the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, and it is not a trivial matter for these three brands to appear at the same time. It turned out that Liu Xianglian also threw her waist card in the package.

Liu Liangzuo called his subordinate general Nie Qing and showed him the two or three tokens, you see, whether this matter is related to the matter we are pursuing. Nie Qing nodded, don't worry, my lord, I have already asked them to track it down, and you will wait for their good news.

Liu Liangzuo nodded, with you and them to investigate, I still have something to worry about.

This Baoyu had asked the route before, and now it is the first time for a person to run out, but fortunately, this night is like a month and a half, and it is white and swaying everywhere, and the road is clear, Baoyu listens to the sound of horses' hooves and thinks about Lin Daiyu, who was originally a sentimental son, at this time, because of that dream, I feel that Sister Lin is only afraid of dying, but I feel that even my heart is about to break, and the tears continue to blur my eyes. Even the big moon looked faint. Because it was after the rain, the road was not easy to walk, and Baoyu almost fell off the horse several times.

When the day dawned, he saw a big insect running silently on the ridge not far from him, almost across a field and his own horse, which was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse. The horse ran faster and faster, and Baoyu grabbed the reins. All I heard was the whirring of the wind. The big insect didn't seem to be in a hurry, still unhurried and parallel, Baoyu kept urging the horse to run wildly, and finally the horse was tired by the momentum of the big insect, and he was soft first, Baoyu was thrown off the horse, fell under the horse, the big insect jumped and jumped, crossed the ridge, and only a few steps caught up with the white horse, and bit the horse's neck with a big mouth. The horse fell, and he saw that he was about to overwhelm Baoyu.

But suddenly he heard a whistle, the tiger stopped, and a monk held the white horse that was about to fall. He stabbed the Zen staff in his hand towards the tiger. A weak woman shouted, "Spotted, come here." Monk, don't hurt me.

The tiger slowly stopped, and squatted down beside the woman.

The woman groomed the big worm and muttered, "I told you that this is a horse, not your food, and told you not to eat him." Turned around and was slaughtered. ”

The leper monk helped Baoyu up, and both men and horses gasped there in horror. The leper saluted the woman, who smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Hero, for not hurting my tiger boy." Only then did Baoyu see the woman's appearance clearly, and saw that she was barefoot and wearing a pair of clogs, wearing fox fur clothes, and wearing long hair. It's really curling, indescribably graceful. She sat on top of the cart, and the horses pulling the cart saw the big worm, but instinctively moved their hooves, and did not seem to be afraid. The woman saw that Baoyu was afraid of her own spots, so she hurriedly let the spots hide behind her.

The leper smiled: "I may not be able to hurt it, you saved us." It's just that I don't know the girl's name, did you raise this big worm? ”

The girl smiled: "My name is Mountain Ghost, and this tiger boy has been raised by my third sister since birth." My third sister is not at home these days, and no one has brought her food, so she almost hurt someone. My house is in the woods in front of you, and since you two have arrived here, if you don't dislike it, you can come to my place and eat a little.

Baoyu was busy; "Master, I heard that Sister Lin is sick and wants to go to her, so I can't catch up with my master."

The leper laughed and said, "Does the donor remember to have an old relationship with me?"

Baoyu said: "I have heard the scriptures in the temple, and I seem to see the master. The leper smiled, "I'll go with you to save your sister Lin." They took their leave of the woman. Knowing that her name was not true, the mountain ghost smiled and said: "The sky is also bright, I have not heard of saving people without eating, and this horse is also tired, I was frightened a lot just now, but I am afraid that I will have to rest a little." It's just a moment's work, hasn't the master heard of sharpening knives and cutting wood?"

Seeing that the distance was not far, how could Baoyu be willing to eat, and the leper saw that he was in a hurry, and said that he would be disturbed next time,

The woman did not spare them, and rode on the back of the tiger on her own.

The two rode forward, and Baoyu's horse couldn't keep up all the way until it reached a post station at the Guazhou ferry, where the horse's legs were weak and he fell to the ground. The leper seems to be very familiar here, someone has already come up to change the horse for them, Baoyu can't care about the sore body, and wants to find the boat of the prince of Beijing. I didn't know who to ask about it, and the leper had already taken him directly to the mansion of the prince of Beijing in the Jinling area.

Baoyu entered the annex of the prince of Beijing, and felt quite uncomfortable, but it turned out that this was the real estate of the Jia family in the Jinling area in the past, and had to flee to the capital because of the change of dynasty due to the war, which was later occupied by the prince of Beijing, although the Jia family was later knighted in the capital, but the Heng Wangfu did not dare to take it back.

Baoyu played here when she was a child, and she was naturally very familiar with it, and the leper took Baoyu to the study, and the prince of Beijing had not yet freshened up, and ran out with his hair and socks: Baoyu, you came just in time, Miss Lin was saved.
