105 [Go East to West]
The grandfather of the Lu family stared at Lin Zhiqi for a while before slowly speaking, "Today, the second son of the Zhang Er family took his daughter-in-law to the next village to save relatives, and saw a few people inquiring about the two girls, and the description is similar to yours. ”
When Shuangtao heard this, she looked at Lin Zhiqi nervously, but Lin Zhiqi lowered her head and tightened the cloak on her body. Grandma Lu asked worriedly, "Is this looking for you?" ”
Lin Zhiqi shook her head, "I don't know. There were only two people guarding us. ”
"Girl, don't be afraid, if those people are found, there will be us!" The grandmother of the Lu family said and walked over and hugged Lin Zhiqi.
Lin Zhiqi looked up at the grandmother of the Lu family, and the love in her eyes was real, there was no doubt about it.
These days, the grandmother of the Lu family has been taking care of her, a stranger of unknown origin, without a word of complaint or question.
"Thank you, Grandma Lu." Lin Zhiqi smiled, turned her head and said to Ah Gong of the Lu family, "Ah Gong Lu, can you find someone to take us out of here tomorrow?" ”
The grandmother of the Lu family immediately objected, "Tomorrow? That's not good, your illness is just getting better, and the road out of the mountain is not easy. ”
The grandfather of the Lu family nodded, "It hasn't snowed these days, I also looked at it just now, tomorrow should still be a sunny day, I will let you take you out of the mountain." ”
"Old man, how can you ......" Grandma Lu was about to turn her face immediately, Lin Zhiqi hurriedly hugged her, "Grandma Lu, I can't bear you, but if those people really come here, it must be a lot of trouble." It's not that I don't believe that everyone will forgive me, but this is not the solution after all. ”
"Maybe they can't find it?" Grandma Lu said unrelentingly, but she also knew that this was impossible, judging from the current situation, those people must have come from one village to another.
"Alas!" Grandma Lu sighed, "I'll go pack your package." ”
"Double Peach, you go and help." Lin Zhiqi instructed.
After the Lu family's grandmother and Shuangtao left, the Lu family's grandfather spoke again. "The snow on the mountain road is still a little thick, but you are a girl, and it is not good for them to carry you out of the mountain."
"I'm going to ask Ah Gong Lu to help make something." Lin Zhiqi said, and immediately explained to Lu Jiagong how to increase the area of the soles of shoes to facilitate walking on the snow. "It's like having two little dustpans tied to your shoes."
The grandfather of the Lu family felt novel, "It shouldn't be difficult to say this, I'll get it later." But, girl, have you ever thought about it? Where do you go after you get out of the mountain? ”
Of course, she went to Yuxian County to find a carriage to go home, thinking of this, Lin Zhiqi was stunned, those people took her from the same county, and knew that she would definitely look for her along that road after she left the mountain.
Seeing her hesitation, the grandfather of the Lu family asked again: "Does the girl have any relatives in Xingzhou Mansion?" ”
"Xingzhou Mansion?"
"Yes, if you don't go to Yuxian, but go west to Xiahe Town, you should be able to rent a carriage. If you go north, it will only take two days to reach the capital city of Xingzhou. Lu Jia's grandfather explained, "This is faster than you going to the same county." If you have a loved one there, it's safer to ask them to help inform your family to pick you up. ”
Lin Zhiqi was about to say that she had no relatives there, but a chubby figure flashed in her mind, and nodded unconsciously.
……
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Lin Zhiqi took Shuangtao and Pepe Pig to follow Uncle Meng, who had picked up Pepe Pig, on the road.
The package that the grandmother of the Lu family packed was very simple, how to wear the clothes and some dry food they wore at the beginning. There is also a small tube of fruit wine, which is not easy to intoxicate and can play a slightly role in keeping warm.
The package was carried by Uncle Meng first, and they just had to walk well.
The weather was fine. The shoes are also very good, and the action is naturally quicker than expected. It was only noon when they arrived at the town below the mountain.
Although Lin Zhiqi felt that she was about to get tired, it was best to go to Xiahe Town as soon as possible.
Fortunately. Uncle Meng is also a heart, and as soon as he arrived in the town, he went to find an ox cart that happened to go to Xiahe Town.
"It's a low-quality leather goods collected from the mountain people, and the taste is a little heavier, but what about the way to Xiahe Town for most of the day? The girl was aggrieved. Uncle Meng pointed to the ox cart and said.
What could she say? It's nice to have a car for you to sit in, don't complain, get in the car!
Ox carts and ox carts, moo, moo, swaying, really bumpy, and leather goods, stinky and smelly, all the way to the lower river.
As soon as she got out of the car, Lin Zhiqi vomited to death again, the eldest lady was used to her life, and she was even sick when she sat in an ox cart.
"Is the little girl okay? Would you like to see a doctor? "Uncle Meng couldn't come forward to help, so he had to stand aside and spin around.
Lin Zhiqi took a sip of fruit wine to get rid of the strange smell in her mouth, waved her hand and said, "No, it's just upside down." It's good to take a break. Find an inn and stay first! ”
When they arrived in Xiahe Town, it was already dark, but fortunately, the inn was still very empty after the Chinese New Year, so they asked for two lower rooms and moved in.
Uncle Da Meng originally shirked it, saying that it would be good for him to live in the firewood room, but how could Lin Zhiqi agree.
"Uncle Meng, you came to show us the way for the New Year, and the money for the ox cart today is also your advance, on such a cold day, we live in the house, and you sleep in the firewood room? Isn't this the diaphragm responding to me? ”
It's just that when paying for the house, Lin Zhiqi realized a new problem, about money.
She and Shuangtao were kidnapped, not to mention that she hadn't paid for herself since she crossed over, who would still have a lot of money on her at home, not to mention that she was still sleeping at that time.
At first, she wondered why she was wearing a cloak when she was on the mountain, and if it weren't for a double peach by her side to testify, she would have thought that she had temporarily lost her memory.
When she arrived at the room, Lin Zhiqi asked, "Shuangtao, where did you get the money?" "It won't be given by the grandmother of the Lu family, then this favor is really owed.
"You gave it last time." Shuangtao took out a rather delicate purse.
Lin Zhiqi looked familiar, took the weight, it was very light, and looked through the purse again, suddenly his hand stiffened, and he looked up at Shuangtao in surprise, "This is, I grabbed it last time?" ”
"Yes." Shuang Tao nodded.
"You've been on your body, huh?"
Double Peach nodded again.
"Why don't you take it in?" Lin Zhiqi continued to ask.
"What are you going to do with it?" Shuang Tao asked rhetorically.
"Save the dowry!" Lin Zhiqi said seriously, she remembered that Gui Yuan told her that. Shuang Tao was silent again for a moment.
Lin Zhiqi immediately wanted to give herself a mouth and be nosy!
"You write down the number and I'll pay it back to you when I get back." Lin Zhiqi returned the purse to Shuangtao, "Find a guy to order hot water, I want to take a dip, I'm too tired today." ”
Shuang Tao silently took the purse, didn't say anything, and turned around to call for hot water. (To be continued.) )
