Chapter 248: A Chance Encounter

The people who accompanied him were all men, and they couldn't say anything, so they had to wait where they were.

Now is the night is dark and the wind is high, they said that they didn't expect that Liu Ke would leave with the girl at this time.

After waiting for a cup of tea, someone said, "Why haven't you come back yet, what happened if you didn't sleep?" ”

"I've never heard of any robbers here, let alone wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards, what can happen, let's wait, didn't the lady just say it, maybe let's wait a little longer."

After these words were finished, they waited in the same place for a while.

Seeing that half an hour was about to pass, they became a little nervous.

But they are all big men, in case Liu Ke is not finished, they will look for it so rashly, it will inevitably be bad if they encounter it.

Several people gathered together to discuss whether to find it or not.

Discuss and go, and no one wants to go.

Or the leader of the humane: "Don't push it, let's go and see together, if something happens, it's not easy to explain." ”

Several men drove the carriage under a tree on the side of the road, tied the horse to the tree, and walked together towards the bushes.

They shouted softly as they walked forward.

But they searched inside for most of the hour and didn't hear Liu Ke's echo, let alone see Liu Ke's figure.

That's when they were really nervous.

They all know that Liu Ke is the family of Qingyi, a lay disciple of Miaofa, and Master Miaofa has taught Qingyi what he has learned in his life, which shows his status in Master Miaofa's heart.

His wife has disappeared under their escort, and Master Mystic will not let them go.

After a night of unsuccessful searching, they had no choice but to return to the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

At this time, the magic method was ready to save Rong Yi. After hearing the news of Liu Ke's disappearance, his face changed slightly, and he calmed down and said, "You guys continue to look for Liu, if you can find Liu, and bring her to Liangzhou safely." I'll reward you with a thousand taels of gold, go! ”

Those people originally thought that they would definitely be punished today, but they didn't expect such a good thing, and at first they were resentful of Liu Ke for leaving without permission, but now they are a little happy.

said in unison: "Yes, the subordinates will definitely be able to find Mrs. Rong." ”

Mystic Law now has no time to ink with them. With a wave of his hand, he sent them out.

Liu Ke and Yuye hid in the bushes by the roadside all night, and waited until dawn to get out of the bushes.

"Princess Shizi, are you okay?" Yuye looked at Liu Ke with some concern.

Liu Ke looked at the village in front of him and said, "I'm fine, let's go to the village in front of us and have a look." You have to change the clothes on your body first. ”

Yuye looked ahead, and the village in front of her looked like it was three or four miles away, and she was very skeptical that Liu Ke would be able to get there.

At this time, Liu Ke took off all the ornaments on his head, handed them to Yuye's hand and said, "Do you still have broken silver on you?" ”

Yuye touched it in his arms, took out a few taels of silver, and said, "Princess Shizi, that's all there is to it." ”

Liu Ke nodded and said, "That's enough, you put these things away first." When we enter the city, we will find a pawnshop and pawn it, and now we will go to the farm in front of us, and you can buy two sets of coarse cloth clothes with the broken silver in your hand, and we will change our clothes and go into the city. ”

After hearing this, Yuye listened. He opened his mouth and looked like he wanted to say something.

Liu Ke only didn't see it, and took the lead to walk forward: "Let's go, when you get to the farm in front, I'll wait for you outside, and you will go in to do something." ”

Yuye said reluctantly: "Yes, princess!" After saying this, he stepped forward and took Liu Ke's arm and walked towards the farm.

They walked for about half an hour and came to the vicinity of the farm.

The farmstead is not very large. There are about thirty or forty farming families.

The farmers have been going out one after another to work in the farmland not far away, a mother-in-law carrying farm tools. Seeing them walking towards each other, he couldn't help but stop and asked, "Did something happen to this lady?" Do you need our help? ”

Liu Ke saw the oncoming person with a kind face. Then he smiled and said: "This old man, we really need your help, we went to the Temple of Mercy and Grace not far away yesterday to incense, on the way back to the city met robbers, everything was robbed, clothes were torn, now we need two bodies, clean clothes, I don't know if the old man's family has it?" We also have some slightly valuable things on us that we can exchange with you. ”

After listening to Liu Ke's words, the visitor waved his hand and said, "What is used in exchange there, who is not in trouble yet, you just have to take it and wear it." I'll go home and bring it to you." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a farmer not far away and said, "That's my home, if you don't dislike it, go back with me and get it!" ”

Liu Ke smiled: "Thank you uncle." ”

She and Yuye had already come a long way to get here, and just as they needed to find a place to rest, the person in front of them spoke earnestly and looked very simple, so Liu Ke ventured and walked towards the farmer.

When they reached the door of the farmer's house, the man put down the farm tools on his shoulders, opened the courtyard door, stretched out his hand to them, and said, "Madame, girl, please come inside, I will go and make tea for you and find clothes." ”

"Then there will be Uncle Lao." Liu Ke said as he looked at the small courtyard in front of him.

Yuye helped Liu Ke and sat down on a small bamboo chair in the courtyard.

Just as they sat down, an old woman in her fifties stepped out of the room.

"How did you get out? Let's go back to the house and rest! Seeing this, the old man said to the old woman.

The old woman grinned and said, "Are there any guests at home?" ”

"Yes, but I'll take care of it, you better go back to the house and rest." The old man tirelessly said.

"There are guests at home, how can I not come out to meet the guests, I want to accompany the guests." The old woman's words were a little coquettish, so that Liu Ke, who was sitting in the courtyard, couldn't help but laugh after listening to it.

The old man finally couldn't resist the woman, and said, "Okay, you just go and accompany the guests, but you can't say anything to scare the guests, you know?" ”

The old woman nodded and smiled: "How could it be, how could it be." With that, he walked towards Liu Ke and Yuye.

When Liu Ke saw her coming, he stood up and prepared to greet her.

However, as soon as Liu Ke stood up, the woman screamed as if she had seen a ghost: "Ah--it's not me, it's not me, don't come to me, I don't know anything, you go, I don't know anything......"

Liu Ke was so frightened by the mother-in-law that she was stunned for a while, and she didn't know what to do for a while?

Seeing this, the old man hurriedly helped the old woman and said, "What are you crazy about, go to the room quickly!" ”

The old woman didn't seem to hear it, her eyes just looked straight at Liu Ke, and she muttered something in her mouth: "Ghost, it must be a ghost, you must have come to me to settle accounts......"

"Don't talk nonsense, how can this lady be a ghost, don't say anything offensive to people." The old man looked at Liu Ke, who was at a loss, and helped the crazy mother-in-law to say.

The woman couldn't listen to the old man's words at all, broke free of his hand, stumbled to Liu Ke, knelt down and bowed: "Miss Su, I don't know anything, you must not come to me, this is all the princess asked the slave to do this, if you want revenge, go to the princess, don't come to me." ”

After Liu Ke heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised!

She squatted down, grabbed the woman's arm, and said sharply, "What do you call me?" Say it again! ”

Seeing this, the old man hurriedly helped the mother-in-law and said, "This lady, my mother-in-law's brain has been stimulated before, don't be surprised, she didn't mean to offend you." ”

Liu Ke waved his hand at the old man and said, "What was her identity before?" Why do you claim to be a slave? ”

After hearing this, the old man said truthfully: "Don't hide it from Mrs., my wife used to be an errand in the palace, and after she was over twenty-five years old, she was released from the palace, when the old man was poor, and she couldn't find a daughter-in-law when she was in her twenties, so she was introduced to her by the matchmaker of the neighboring village. ”

Liu Ke held the woman's arm and asked, "Have you ever been an errand boy in front of the emperor before?" You look at me, who do you say I am? What the hell have you done to me? ”

When the mother-in-law heard Liu Ke say this, she was even more afraid, and she trembled and begged for mercy, "Miss Su spares her life, Miss Su spares her life, it's not my idea, it's not my idea, don't look for me for revenge......"

After Liu Ke heard this, he felt more and more that this old woman must have done something hurtful in the palace, and the object was the daughter of the Su family who looked very similar to her, or her mother Su Yue.

Could it be that her mother, Su Yue, has ever entered the palace?

still, his mother and other sisters had entered the palace, but they were murdered by the Zheng family, who was the crown princess at the time.

Liu Ke knew that her mother died at the hands of the Liu family, not in the palace, so she had such suspicions.

However, looking at the current scene of the old woman, the more anxious she is, the more she can't ask anything, only ask each other slowly.

Liu Ke took a deep breath and said to the old man: "Uncle, maybe the clothes we are wearing have scared this mother-in-law. Please go and fetch us two coarse cloth clothes, and we will change our clothes, and maybe this mother-in-law will not be afraid. ”

The old man looked at the old woman with some anxiety on his face and nodded, but his feet did not move.

"Yuye, you take care of this old woman first." Liu Ke said with a smile.

Yuye should accept it, and then stretched out his hand to support the old woman.

Then the old man went into the house to get his clothes.

After the old man entered the door, Liu Ke looked at the old woman with straight eyes and whispered: "I am Su Yue, I came to settle accounts with you, if you tell all the sins of the crown princess, I will let you go, otherwise, I will take your life!" ”

As soon as she said this, the woman was so frightened that she shouted: "I said, I said ......" (to be continued)
