Chapter III
A lot of doubts puzzled the mother-in-law, the mother-in-law had never read a book, these were also going into the city to sell jujubes to listen to a sentence and listen to a sentence in the west, whether it was true or false for the time being, the only thing that could be understood was that Li Yuan's family was ruined, and none of the three daughters had a good end, if she was really Lord Li's daughter, mother-in-law, I would have to protect the blood of the Li family even if I gave up my life.
There is no basis for her words, not to mention that she has no evidence, Yuequan shook her head slightly, her eyes were gloomy, her body exuded an aura of loneliness and despair, and her head kept recalling her kind father and sisters who liked to play tricks on her, as well as the memory of her intermittent brother, although her brother was gone, but for some reason she always felt that her brother was not gone, and she always recalled the last time she saw her brother in her dreams.
The mother-in-law looked at the girl's gaze, and the liar's gaze would always be unconsciously avoided, but she didn't.
And I'm a person with half a foot in a coffin, what's the use of lying to me, subconsciously she believes it.
"Mother-in-law, how far is it from Bingcheng?"
Mother-in-law raised her head in doubt, Bingcheng?
"Yes, mother-in-law, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest, my name has long been left in their death book, I don't think anyone would have guessed that I would go to Bingcheng."
Speaking of this, the mother-in-law's eyes lit up, clapped her hands, and said with yellow teeth, "Yes, no one would have guessed that you would go to Bingcheng." ”
With the beginning and the back, it is easy, Yuequan persuaded Granny Ping to go to Bingcheng with him, and recognized her mother-in-law as her mother-in-law, the identity of the ancient escape girl was not as convenient as the identity of a young widow, and it was not easy to be violated.
Yuequan doesn't plan to get married, she hopes to find a paradise to plant beans and live at the foot of the mountain.
After the two discussed, Yuequan entered the village chief's house under the guidance of his mother-in-law to collect some things they left behind, and then went into the blacksmith's house to take two kitchen knives to defend himself, and put together a board cart items, Yuequan led the old cow picked up by the river and tied it to the dilapidated board cart, and the mother-in-law sat on the car with unfavorable hands and feet to direct Yuequan to walk.
Finally entered the city day and night, spent a copper plate to live in the horse shed in the backyard of the inn, smelling the stench, Yuequan has long been used to it, in fact, she is more stinky than the stench in the horse shed, she doesn't know how long she hasn't bathed, she didn't dare to go into the water to clean for fear of wicked people on the way, so she could only scrub it casually and drive the old cow away.
Sitting in the straw pile, Yuequan put some original clay mask on his face, in the chaotic era, beauty is a sin, and it is better to be ugly than beautiful, not to mention that the original owner has a face that captivates the country and the city, and asks while making up for it, "Mother-in-law, where are we going when we enter the city?" ”
Mother-in-law hammered her stiff knees and said, "Bingcheng is in the east, mother-in-law, I haven't been out of the village, I don't know how to go, let's go in the direction of the rising sun!" ”
"Well, that's all there is to it."
Sleeping peacefully in the stable for a night, Yuequan spent only twenty copper plates to buy twenty nest heads and stuffed them in the middle of the car, helped her mother-in-law to get into the car, looked back deeply, and drove the ox cart away from here.
The road is steep, the road is narrow, winding, potholes, uneven, dusty, you have to pay attention to the depression on rainy days for fear of falling into the quagmire, and on sunny days, you have to pay attention to whether there are robbers, and be cautious and cautious all the way.
Catch up with the car during the day, half-asleep and half-awake at night, snakes, rats, centipedes are pervasive, scared and scared to get used to it, now it has passed three cities, and then it will be more than a month to arrive at Bingcheng, from the mouths of travelers and businessmen along the way, I heard that the lord of Bingcheng loves the people like a son, handles the case in an orderly manner, never takes bribes, is a good official, the city does not close the door at night and does not leave the road behind, it is for the Datong society.
The score is good, Bingcheng should be a good place, Yuequan drank well water, wiped his mouth with his sleeves, and looked curiously at a couple who were bargaining with the hawker, the male clown was short, the female had black buckteeth, and the female baby had clear eyebrows, elegant manners, and bright clothes, which were incompatible with this couple, could it be a servant?
But it's not like it, Yuequan laughed at himself, "What do you think, I don't have a place to go, what do you want others to do!" ”
Shaking his head secretly, Yuequan said to his mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, there are only three days of food left."
The mother-in-law said, "Take one step at a time, go out of the city and look along the road to see if there is any food." ”
"Well, that's the only way"
Queuing up to go out of the city needs to be checked, Yuequan has long been used to it, she sits on the ox cart and shakes her little feet, gnaws on the astringent and numb pears that are not yet ripe, looks at the ancient customs and habits, and has no time to patronize on weekdays, and only this time is the time to observe.
"I told you, she is my daughter, not stolen, Erniu told them."
Suddenly hearing the sound of a quarrel, Yuequan looked curiously through the crowd and looked ahead, eh? Isn't that couple?
It turned out to be a hot-blooded young official who had just taken office and saw the obvious flaws, pointed out the wrong, the two sides argued, blushing, no one admitted defeat, and finally slipped out of nowhere an old fritter official, he hiccuped, blatantly collected money and weighed the money bag and released him, so that the young hot-blooded young official jumped to his feet and took him in a bad way.
There are such people in every era.
After the fact, do what you have to do.
Yuequan continued to shake her little feet, crossed the grove to the waterhole, got out of the car to load the water, and glanced at it at random on the way to load the water, the pink clothes under the hundred-year-old willow tree at the waterside of the pool faintly flashed, Yuequan looked left and right and thought for a while and walked in slowly, half-squatting and asking, "Erniu?" ”
The girl who was alone took two steps back, rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "Stupid woman, I don't have such a dirty name." ”
Yuequan was not annoyed by the girl's contempt, she shrugged her shoulders and asked, "What about the two traffickers?" ”
The girl's eyes widened, her long eyelashes trembled, her mouth trembled, and she said, "You, how do you know that they are human traffickers?" ”
This time, it was Yuequan's turn to despise her, "Do you still need to watch this?" ”
The frustrated girl lowered her head and said, "Hurry up and leave!" They went looking for food and will be back soon. ”
"Then why don't you run?"
The girl gently rolled up her sleeves, and the purple-red scar came into view, "I can't run away from them"
"How long have they been there?"
"Half a pillar of incense is not enough."
Hearing this, Yuequan's heart jumped violently, and he didn't want to drag the girl to run, explaining while running, he was not allowed to make a sound, no matter what happened, he was not allowed to make a sound, you know? The girl let Yuequan drag her head away, as if she didn't know how to nod, this is an opportunity, if you don't seize the opportunity, you will be stupid.
Yuequan dragged her and stuffed him under the car board, asked her to hold on to the fixed board, tied it twice with a rope, jumped into the car, and said to the dazed mother-in-law, "Drive and go"
Although the mother-in-law was at a loss, she didn't know what Yuequan was doing, but she knew the severity of it, she threw a whip at the old cow's buttocks, and the old cow dragged the bulky body slowly forward, and met the tea house on the way, Yuequan turned her eyes and shouted, "Mother-in-law, I'm thirsty"
The tacit mother-in-law's cloudy eyes turned and stopped in front of the tea house, Yuequan jumped out of the car, bent over and respectfully helped her mother-in-law out of the driveway, "Mother-in-law, it's hot, drink tea!" ”
