These little boys may not have seen them, but with Jiang Ruanyan, it is not difficult to guess their identities.

"You little brain, you know a lot." Jiang softly quipped.

"Sister, why don't you go to my house tonight, there are a lot of things happening in the capital, I'll tell you slowly."

The little boy said as he stretched out his hand and pulled Jiang Ruanyan and prepared to walk home.

Jiang Ruanyan looked at the people around him in a bit of a panic, not knowing how to answer.

She didn't want the little boy to think about it, but the situation was really not very convenient.

They are now fugitives, and if they are discovered, the little boy's family will be a felony for harboring fugitives.

Jiang Ruanyan didn't want to affect their family.

Gu Shenyuan saw Jiang Ruanyan's predicament, and immediately stepped forward to explain, "Thank you, Xiaohai, we won't bother today." ”

The little boy was not forced, he let go of Jiang Softyan's hand.

"Brother and sister, I know what you are worried about, don't worry, my family is in the middle of nowhere, and ordinary people won't go there at all."

Such a description made Bai Ruoguan vaguely uneasy.

"Even if someone from the village came to search, they would never believe that so many of you could be hidden in my house."

Unexpectedly, the little boy was quite cheerful, and he didn't mind the plight at home at all, and he was joking with everyone.

"Besides, if you don't go to my house, are you just sleeping here?"

Xiao Hai pointed to the open space behind him, and the bonfire still burning on the side had already indicated that this group of people should be resting here.

But now, they don't even have a tent, except for a carriage.

If they can't sleep in the carriage, won't they have to sleep in the open air?

Jiang Qing looked at the environment, it was indeed not ideal, but there was no way to do it now? You can't bother people because of this.

"No, our current identity is too dangerous, it's not good for you to take this risk, you go home first, and say hello to your father and mother for us."

He still refused.

"Don't risk it, and if my parents knew I met you, but didn't take you home, they would be angry."

Xiaohai insisted on doing so.

"You just listen to me, go to my house for one night, it's not too late for you to leave early tomorrow morning, anyway, you have to rest tonight."

Xiao Hai was talking, and suddenly Xiaotian next to him became alert.

It walked up to the big one's right, pricked up its ears and listened for a while, then barked twice.

"Xiaotian, what's wrong?" Xiaohai obviously sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly came to the dog's side.

In the next second, everyone saw a group of soldiers in official uniforms behind the mountain.

Everyone hurriedly crouched down, and by the dim light, hid behind the bushes.

Xiao Hai also hurriedly pulled Xiao Tian to lie down.

Jiang Ruanyan saw that Xiaotian was so well-behaved beside Xiao Hai, and let him lie down, and he obediently lay down, motionless, not even wagging his tail.

After the group of people walked away, everyone slowly got up.

Gu Shenyuan sighed, "It's all been searched here, it seems that this time my father is really angry." ”

He said this to everyone.

The places they chose were all inaccessible places, and except for people like Xiaohai who hunted and collected medicine, they would come to this barren mountain and wilderness, basically no one came.

However, it seems that because the search was fruitless and the pressure from above was too heavy, these soldiers did not even let go of these places.

Nishizawa was not in a hurry, but asked Xiao Hai excitedly, "Xiao Hai, is it too late for me to choose to go to your house to listen to the story?" ”

Nothing else matters, the key is that he took a fancy to what Xiao Hai said, his house is in the ravine, and no one usually goes.

"Of course it's time!" Xiaohai was overjoyed.

After that, everyone packed up their things non-stop, destroyed all the traces of their stay, and followed Xiaohai home all the way.

Xiao Hai told everyone that the first order issued by the emperor was to kill all those who fled, including Jiang Ruanyan.

But later, because of the protests of the people, the emperor relented and said that he would try his best to catch it alive, but if he resisted, he could be killed directly.

In addition, the bounty has also been increased from the previous 300,000 taels to 500,000 taels.

As soon as he heard this money, Jiang Ruanyan's eyes instantly flashed with gold, "I didn't expect that one day I would be so valuable." ”

Just as Jiang was speaking softly, Xiao Hai spoke again.

"But the gentleman from the academy told me that the total price of the things in the Xinyuan Pavilion and the Jishitang auction seems to have exceeded ten million taels of silver."

Jiang Ruanyan was immediately stupid, and he was stunned there expressionlessly.

Jiang Qing, Jiang Ci and Ding Yi tried desperately to stop them before, but Xiao Hai didn't see their gestures, and now they simply gave up.

Bai Ruoguan stepped forward to comfort him in a little panic, "It's okay, the daughter is scattered and will come back, we are still young, it's okay." ”

She patted Jiang Ruanyan on the back, as if she was coaxing the child who had lost the sugar gourd.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Softyan began to cry.

"Don't cry, I'll recruit the officers and soldiers later." Bai Ruoguan was still persuading, and No. 6 directly picked up a big steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

Jiang Ruanyan bit the steamed bun and was still whimpering.

It was all her hard-earned money, and every brick and tile was traced by her hard work.

Even if there is no hard work, it is the gold and silver that she earned by wearing out her mouth.

Now it's gone, how can you calm down.

Xiao Hai didn't know much, but when he saw Jiang Ruanyan being so sad after hearing about this, he was very remorseful.

If he knew that he wouldn't say it, and he made his sister sad, he hurriedly began to search for things that could make her happy.

He suddenly remembered the small bamboo basket beside him, "Sister Jiang, don't cry, I have here the wild strawberries I picked on the mountain today for you to eat." ”

Jiang Ruanyan took it out and saw that it was really fresh wild strawberries, and his crying stopped instantly, "Thank you." ”

She replied with a crying voice, which was quite polite.

Seeing her foodie nature exposed again, Gu Shenyuan smiled.

When everyone talked and laughed all the way, the distance in the middle was not too far, but when they returned to Xiaohai's house, it was already dark, and then everyone suddenly felt a little hungry.

The wooden door was opened in front of the small sea and the guests were invited in.

After getting out of the carriage, Jiang Ruanyan noticed this, the two huts built by the stream, and a cowshed, but now the cows are gone.

It is surrounded by a small courtyard that is simply fenced off, and the height of the fence is not as high as the gate gate, so you can see the scene of the courtyard from the outside.

The small courtyard is not big, but it is neatly planned, and there is a special plot for growing vegetables in the middle.

The one in the middle was planted with tomatoes, and it actually bore fruit.

Jiang Ruanyan stepped forward curiously and squatted there for a long time.

"Such fresh tomatoes, if you make tomato egg noodles, it will definitely be delicious."

Jiang Ruanyan's favorite thing is the sweet and sour taste.

This happened to be heard by Xiao Hai.

"Okay, I haven't eaten eggs for a long time, and my mother's savings last time should have been enough, I'll take a look."

Xiao Hai ran to the kitchen as he spoke, and the big guy wanted to stop him, but he didn't have time.

Jiang Ruanyan fell into a deep sense of guilt, she just said it casually, but she should have paid more attention.

Knowing that the situation in a family like Xiaohai is not very good, Jiang Ruanyan still said it so casually, and this one is not careful, it will cause such a big trouble to others.

The eggs they had worked so hard to save turned out to be eaten by a group of them.

"Hehe, there are exactly ten, enough for us to eat." Xiao Hai was very happy when he looked at the basket of eggs.

But this time, Jiang Ruanyan said that he couldn't let her break the bill so much anymore, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

"Xiaohai doesn't need it, you still have to keep these eggs, let's just eat some green vegetables."

"How can that work? Guests can't be lazy when they come to my house, I also went to school anyway, how can I not understand this truth? ”

Jiang Ruanyan was very happy that the school she ran could have such an effect, but how could he be embarrassed to see Xiaohai spend so much money?

"But Xiaohai, then we should not be careful." Bingyue also hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Yes, you've taken a lot of risks to help us, and you're spending so much money on us, how can these brothers and sisters be embarrassed?"

They are still running for their lives now, they can't protect themselves, there are so few things they can do to help this child, it's already difficult not to cause trouble for her, how can they still take the initiative to make trouble for others?

"Sister, you guys are going to see the outside, this is not a cost, and my father and mother are now working in the city, and they have wages, eggs are no longer a luxury, and our family can basically eat every meal."

Xiao Hai is quite proud when he says this.

Jiang Ruanyan gently held Xiao Hai's hand, took the basket of eggs in his hand, and carefully placed them on the table.

"Sister knows what you want, but now your father and mother can't earn a normal salary, and you may have to live like this for a long time in the future, so let's leave this food for them."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a salary, if your father and mother want to eat, I'll just go to the mountains to pick it up." Xiao Hai looked serious.

Jiang Ruanyan was not convinced, did she hear the meaning she understood?

"You're going to pick it up? Where to pick it up? ”

"To the mountains? The pheasants in the mountains may have laid eggs, I picked one up today, and they can go to the next one the next day, which is amazing. ”

When Xiaohai said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"This egg was picked up in the mountains, not bought by you." Bai Ruoguan was also surprised on the side.

She was conscious of stealing birds' eggs, but she had never picked up pheasant eggs.

"Sister, you don't know this, children like us. I never buy eggs outside. ”

Xiaohai wanted them to explain, "Either they are all eggs laid by the hens raised by the family themselves, or they go to the mountains to pick them up, but there are too many." ”
