Chapter 205: Rushing and Rushing
The cuttlefish's heart suddenly lifted, and a violent panic hit her......
"Alas, forget it, she has been dead for two days, and the corpse has long been out of shape, let's not get involved in this bad luck, can't we exchange it for a meal, it's a big deal."
Immediately afterwards, the lid of the coffin closed again with a "bang".
"That's fine, it's not worth a lot of money anyway, so don't want it. However, we can't send her anymore, it's getting dark, and we can't delay this girl any longer, or just throw her here, right? ”
The cuttlefish exhaled softly, her hanging heart lowering slightly, and she rubbed her eyes, which were stinging from the sudden rays of light, and pricked up her ears to listen carefully to the conversation outside.
"Okay, just throw this, then let's run out of the city, there is a Guojia village outside the city, after passing Guojia Village, go a few miles south, you can get to the town, I have an uncle who is striking iron there, we can take refuge in him."
"Okay, that's it! Listen to you. ”
The cuttlefish listened silently, until the sound of talking was completely gone, and only the footsteps of two people remained, and she was very puzzled, could it be that they really left her and ran away?
She didn't dare to go out rashly, so she had to wait in the coffin for a long time, until the footsteps had disappeared for a long time, and she estimated that there was no one outside, so she dared to tentatively knock on the lid of the coffin three times.
There was no response from outside, so the cuttlefish mustered up the courage to open the lid from the inside, poking her head out, she squinted a pair of almond eyes to adapt to the light outside, and only when the scene in her vision slowly became clear, she dared to open her eyes wide.
Looking around, there was no human figure around, and the cuttlefish felt a lot more relieved.
After a closer look, the cuttlefish realized that this is a relatively spacious dirt road, with woods on both sides, but there are no people living there, and there are no other forks in the road, it seems that this place is relatively sparsely populated, except for passers-by, there should be no one else.
She hurriedly took her things, crawled out of the coffin, closed the lid, and thought about where to go.
If you go east, outside the city, you will walk the same road as the two little men, as they said, it will take a long time to pass a village, and then it will be a long time to reach the town. In this case, not only is it a long way, but the key is that it is possible to meet the two of them, which is really inappropriate.
If you go west, you are going back, and you are returning to the direction of the palace.
The cuttlefish hesitated for a moment, but decided to go west, of course, she would not walk back to the palace in a smoke, wouldn't it be in vain to waste so much effort. She believed that there might be another fork in the road that would lead to the city.
Once she had an idea, she set off immediately, not wanting to delay for a moment.
Earlier, when she was still leaving the palace, the cuttlefish had changed into the clothes of an ordinary woman in the coffin, at this time she was wearing a light purple thin cloth dress, her hair was pulled into an ordinary bun, she did not wear any hairpins, and the shoes under her feet were also replaced with ordinary cloth shoes, and the whole person looked no different from a folk woman.
The cuttlefish walked very fast, she didn't seem to have walked so fast for a long time, her feet were like a strong wind, and she walked for a long time, and she didn't feel half tired, after all, now that she was free, there was nothing that could make her live faster than freedom.
The spirit was uplifted, so that she did not feel any fatigue at all, she had more than half an hour, and she did not see any other road, she was not tired, but she was anxious.
You can't just walk back to the palace all the time, it's definitely not okay! The guards at the gate of the palace will recognize her!
She looked around as she hurried, hoping to see another way.
Finally, after about a quarter of an hour, the cuttlefish's eyes lit up, and he saw a path, although this path was not as wide and safe as the main road, but it was also a way to go, since there would be a path here, it meant that there must be a place to go at the end of the path.
What's more, she doesn't have so many choices, whether she wants to or not, she has to walk through here.
The cuttlefish just stepped on the path and continued to walk, the path was no wider than the main road, sometimes it would encounter some potholes, and sometimes it would come to a muddy place, and the cuttlefish's shoes were stained with mud.
She didn't walk as fast as she had just now, and it wasn't until the sun went down and it was almost dark that she saw some bright lights and a few houses. Obviously, it's a small village.
The cuttlefish was very lost, she had walked for so long and wanted to go to the city, but it took a lot of effort to get to a village, she was deflated, sat on the ground, and dropped the package in her hand.
She patted her head and complained in annoyance: Do you still need to think about it, of course such a broken path can only lead to a small place, it is getting dark, and now I can only stay here!
The village is generally not big, and the villagers know each other, if she suddenly appears, how can she explain to everyone, is it difficult to say that she is just a lost girl? This seems to be a bit reluctant.
People here are unfamiliar with the place, once a bad person starts her idea, whether it is robbing money or sex, then she is powerless to escape, and it will be bad then? It would be even more terrifying if someone found out that her package was full of valuable belongings, suspected that she was a thief, and then reported it to the authorities.
After thinking about it for a while, the cuttlefish still felt that she should hide for the time being, so that the villagers could not see her, and wait until it was completely dark, and then continue to walk, get out of the village, and try to see where she could go.
There is a small forest nearby, the cuttlefish went to hide in the forest for a while, walked for so long, did not feel tired before, but now it is the opposite, and I feel that my legs are sore. The cuttlefish sat down against a tree, gently rubbing her calves, and the constant rumbling of her stomach reminded her that she hadn't eaten in a long time.
Although she was hungry, she had no choice but to pack only money and no food.
The cuttlefish thought for a while, remembering that Imperial Physician Shen had told her that there were some prescriptions and medicines in another package, and she had an idea, thinking that maybe some medicine could be used temporarily to satisfy hunger, although it was unlikely, she still took another small cloth bag to her lap and untied the rope.
As soon as the cloth package was opened, the two large baked cakes on it appeared in front of the cuttlefish, the cuttlefish was stunned for a moment, and then immediately picked up the baked cakes and took a big bite.
Overjoyed, the cuttlefish searched again and found a small jug of water under the package, enough for her to drink tonight.
As soon as I tasted the baked cakes, I knew that it was Xiao Yuezi's craftsmanship, and the cuttlefish couldn't help but feel a little sad, and it had been a little long since it came out, and I don't know what happened to Xiao Yuezi Ruyi...... (To be continued.) )
