Chapter 116: Descending the Mountain
"PS: Thank you [Idler i Yang] for the 10,000 yuan reward from the big guy! ~ Thank you [Jian Danping] for the 10,000 yuan reward from the big guy! ~Thank you [JmySu] for your 10,000 yuan reward! ~ Thank you for the 10,000 yuan reward from the big guy! ~ Finally, I was a little touched by the name of this brother. β¦β¦ Are you talking about me?'
ββββ the following textββββ
October 22...... Probably.
At this time, the sky was still dark, and in front of the very small bonfire, Jing Nu snuggled in Zhao Yu's arms, quietly listening to Zhao Yu talk about the precautions after going down the mountain.
The first thing to pay attention to is the names of the two - of course, mainly referring to Zhao Yu.
ββ¦β¦ This time, my Zhao family is in trouble, there are many suspicions, there must be some conspiracy in it, in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, from today on, if an outsider asks, I will be called Zhou Hu......"
"Zhou?"
Jing Nu raised her head slightly, blinking at the side face of the little master: "Yes...... Madame's last name? β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhao Yu was silent for a moment, rubbed Jingnu's hair, and continued: "And you are my younger brother, Zhou Jing. β
As Jingnu guessed, Zhao Yu gave himself the pseudonym Zhou Hu, and the surname Zhou was in honor of his mother, Zhou.
After all, the Zhou family treats him really with great care...... Of course, his father Luyang Xianghou also treated him very well, but the form of 'Zhao' is too eye-catching at the moment, God knows if the Tong Yan and those soldiers of the Liangcheng Army are still searching around in Luyang, Zhao Yu thinks it is better to be cautious.
"Zhou ...... Quiet? β
Jing Nu read her new name obsessively, feeling a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu was puzzled and asked, "Isn't it good?" β
"No, it's not." Jingnu subconsciously shook her head, and then said in a slurching voice: "The slave is just ...... Just ......"
She looked up at Zhao Yu's side face, and asked in a low voice, "That's Madame's surname, can a slave really ...... Can I have the surname Zhou? β¦β¦ Wouldn't offend Madame? β
Looking at Jing Nu's expectant gaze with a little trepidation, Zhao Yu smiled, hugged her slightly, and said with a smile: "Of course, my mother has always liked you very much, and treats you as half a daughter, how can it be offended?" β
Hearing this, Jing Nu's face showed joy that she couldn't hide, but suddenly, her eyes were immediately full of crystal.
Obviously, she thought of Zhou, and thought of the Zhou family she had secretly regarded as a mother.
Seeing that Jing Nu, who was still very happy, suddenly became silent, Zhao Yu felt the same way.
But he knew that now was not the time to be sad and sad, he had to cheer up, first take Jingnu to find a place to stay, and then find a way to find the enemy and take revenge.
Father and mother are gone, and his brother Zhao Yin ...... I don't know if I can escape that night, if I am unfortunately killed by those soldiers, then he Zhao Yu is the last direct bloodline of the Luyang Zhao family, if he can't cheer up, who will avenge the Luyang Xianghou and his wife? Who will avenge him for more than 200 people up and down the Luyang Township Marquis' Mansion?
Forcing the sadness back to his heart, Zhao Yu let out a long breath and said solemnly: "My name is Zhou Hu, your name is Zhou Jing, and my brothers fled from Wanbei to Luyang. His father's name was Zhou ...... Yu? Not? Not...... I'll think about it again, if someone asks, I'll answer, remember? β
Jing Nu obviously knew the proportions, nodded and said, "Remember, young master." β
"Young master?" Zhao Yu said helplessly: "You have debunked it with this opening, you have to call me brother, or brother." Shout to try? β
"Brother...... Long? The Silent Girl obediently tried to shout.
Given that her relationship with Zhao Yu is not a pure master and servant, she is also his concubine in the future, therefore, she does not feel too shy when she calls Zhao Yu a brother or brother, after all, she and Zhao Yu will have a relationship that will make her even more shy in the future.
She just felt a little awkward.
"Why my brother? Can't it be a sister? She couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Zhao Yu smiled slightly, reached out and pinched Jingnu's dusty cheeks, and explained: "In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, to prevent someone from coveting your appearance......"
"Uh-oh." Jing Nu suddenly realized, nodded and praised: "The young master knows a lot...... Yikes! β
Under Zhao Yu's helpless gaze, she stuck out her tongue in some embarrassment.
Again, the action of sticking out the tongue will only be pleasing to the eye if a cute little girl does it.
After deciding on the kana after going down the mountain, the second thing I did was to find a way to find two ordinary clothes to change into.
Zhao Yu is wearing now, although it is Cao An's clothes, although it is far less eye-catching than Zhao Yu's own clothes, but a clear-eyed person can still see at a glance that this clothing is from a rich family's domestic servant, and the maid clothes on Jingnu's body are even more eye-catching - how can a man wear the kind of maid clothes that you know are feminine at a glance?
If you want not to attract attention, you have to replace these two bodies.
After a while, Zhao Yu instructed Jing Nu to turn her back and immediately solve the pair of bonfires, extinguishing the bonfires in the most convenient way.
Looking at the extinguished bonfire, Zhao Yu suddenly had a sense of desperation with a cliff behind him.
If he could, he would like to continue to hide in the mountains of Yingshan with Jingnu, who was born in a poor family, and knew how to pick wild vegetables and mountain fruits to subsidize his family's livelihood at a very young age, and he also knew some ways to make simple traps, and the two worked together, even if they couldn't eat enough, they might not be able to live in this barren mountain for a while; In contrast, after descending the mountain, the future is bleak, and maybe the next moment, they will be caught and killed by those vicious Liangcheng soldiers.
But......
"Less...... Hmm, brother, you...... How are you? β
Not far away, Jing Nu asked in an obviously shy tone.
"Uhh
Zhao Yu nodded: "Okay." β
In the still dark environment, Jing Nu's cold little hands were held with Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu took one last look at the extinguished bonfire.
This bonfire had been lit by him and Jingnu three days ago, and for the next three days, he and Jingnu had carefully watched over it, and now, no matter what the future success or failure, they no longer needed it.
"Gone."
Zhao Yu said in a low voice, not only for Jing Nu, but also for himself.
Immediately, he took Jingnu's hand and walked carefully down the mountain.
At this point, there is no way back for him!
After descending the mountain, Jingnu led Zhao Yu towards her original home.
The two of them are not the uncles and aunts who have decided to go to Jingnu, like the kind of uncles and aunts who can sell their nieces, they are not trustworthy at all, Jingnu just decides to 'get' two clothes.
This is the only way for Zhao Yu and Jing Nu, two teenage children, to be in good shape, after all, whether it is Zhao Yu or Jing Nu, of course they can't wear the clothes on their bodies to swagger through the market, it is purely a long life.
As for where to 'get', Zhao Yu originally wanted to find a nearby mountain village to get two bodies, but Jingnu suggested going to her original home.
It turned out that her home was at the foot of Yingshan Mountain.
"My second uncle and my second aunt sold me and my brother to the mansion at the beginning, I thought they were for the good of my sister and brother, but then I heard from Steward Cao that they sold my sister and brother for a lot of money, and I just asked them to get it back today......
Jingnu pretended to be very angry.
But in fact, she didn't actually hate her uncle and aunt - maybe she was angry at first, but then she was a little happy.
After all, if it weren't for her uncle and aunt who sold her sister and brother to the Xianghou Mansion, how could she meet the Zhou family, who treated her gently like her mother, and how could she meet the little master who would follow her for the rest of her life...... Or, what about men?
The reason why she said that was because her house was indeed close to this place, and secondly, she didn't want her little master to steal.
How could her young master, a noble man, do such a bad thing?
Those bad things, let me Jingnu do it, she promised Madame that she would take good care of this second son.
Take advantage of the night to come to the vicinity of Jingnu's original home.
Jingnu's original home is a very remote village at the foot of Yingshan Mountain in Luyang, very small, very small, according to Jingnu's explanation on the way, there are only a dozen households in the whole village, and they are not next to each other, and her home is in the east of the village, surrounded by fields, as long as you are careful, you should not be discovered.
I have to say that this kind of theft, Zhao Yu and Jingnu are both the first time, so they are naturally inexplicably nervous.
Zhao Yu discussed with Jing Nu: "You look out for me to see if anyone pays attention, I'll go into the house to get two ......"
However, Jing Nu shook her head vigorously: "Young master, let me go, you watch for me...... That's my house, the young master is not as familiar as me, even if I am caught by my uncle and aunt, they probably won't do anything to me, at most they are surprised why I came back, and then find a way to drive me back, so that I can still find a chance to escape. β
This reason is quite sufficient, and Zhao Yu can't refute it.
So the two decided to come down, Zhao Yu watched the wind outside, and Jingnu quietly went to her house to get two clothes.
"Be careful."
Zhao Yu held Jingnu's face and admonished.
"Hmm."
Jing Nu nodded, and under Zhao Yu's concerned gaze, she crept into the courtyard of her house, and immediately lifted Luo's skirt and climbed into the adobe wall about six or seven feet highβalthough it didn't look very real, Zhao Yu was sure that Jing Nu had climbed into the wall, after all, the green and white skirt on Jing Nu's body was still quite eye-catching at dawn before dawn.
I have to say that this is a bit refreshing Zhao Yu's understanding of Jingnu.
This line went smoothly, and it didn't take long for Jingnu to quietly turn out of the adobe wall again, and ran back to Zhao Yu's side with a puff, and said to Zhao Yu with a small face: "Young master, I got it." β¦β¦ My second uncle and my second aunt are still so lazy, and all the clothes we have changed are thrown in the basin. It was so dark in the room that I couldn't tell the difference between that body and that body, so I simply hugged it. β
Zhao Yu wanted to praise Jing Nu for a few words, but he couldn't help but ask: "Jing Nu, you used to ...... Do you often climb over the wall, you feel quite skilled? β
Jingnu was stunned, and then her face flushed with shame.
In fact, when she was a child, she was not as quiet as Zhou and the second son in front of her as expected, climbing over walls, climbing trees, digging birds' nests, other children in these villages would, in fact, she would.
After all, the children of poor families have no one to discipline them, and it was not until she followed Zhou's and after Zhou's careful teaching that she knew that there were some things that her daughter's family should not do.
"Don't make fun of the slave master, the slave was young and ignorant at that time......"
Seeing a little evil smile on Zhao Yu's face up close, Jingnu was full of shyness.
Zhao Yu smiled and rubbed her hair: "Okay." β¦β¦ Before it gets dark, let's quickly pick one and throw the rest back into the yard, lest your uncle and your aunt don't even have a change of clothes, quick. β
"Hmm."
A moment later, as the sky brightened, a man's shout rang out in the village, disturbing the neighbors.
"Ouch, which thief with a thousand knives broke into my house and threw Lao Tzu's clothes in the courtyard...... Damn it! Also took some ......"
Then there was a burst of scolding.
In the distance, Zhao Yu and Jingnu heard the movement behind them, and they both shrank their necks in unison.
After glancing at each other, the two of them fled in a hurry like two frightened rabbits, each holding a suit of clothing.
