"Just like you?" Xiaohai asked mischievously.

"Just like us." Jiang Ruanyan also smiled.

Look, even Xiao Haizi can see that they have nowhere to go now.

"That sister. Will you ever come back? ”

The work in the hands of the two is basically done now, and Xiaohai is doing the final finishing work.

This question completely stumped Jiang Ruanyan, and she didn't know if they would come back later.

If the stars were really moving, as she thought.

So when the stars of the previous generation move away, the stars of the next generation move over again, as if it is the end and the beginning.

And Jiang Ruanyan this time, he didn't know if he was over or at the beginning.

She used to joke that she was too tired in Jishitang, anyway, now that the money is almost earned, it is better to go to the countryside to buy a small vegetable plot and live an ordinary life.

But just when such a day was coming, Jiang Ruanyan began to be reluctant to be in the capital again.

In the days in the capital, although it is said that there is intrigue, it is also lively and wonderful every day.

Every day here will leave a deep impression on her life, but it's a pity that she couldn't say goodbye when she left.

Jiang Ruanyan sighed lightly, hiding the sadness in his heart.

"Probably not." She smiled, and together with Xiao Hai, wiped the last few bowls clean and put them in the cabinet.

The two of them went into the house early, although there was a place to stay today, so they didn't have to sleep in the open air.

But Gu Shenyuan was still not at ease, so he still arranged a vigil.

As soon as the lights went out in the room, there was an even sound of breathing.

Everyone is too tired after a long day's travel.

Originally, I was worried that Xiao Hai would not fit in, afraid that so many people would suddenly come to the house and disturb him, but not long after he climbed into bed, everyone had already heard her subtle snoring.

Gu Shenyuan sat on the roof with his eyes closed, and only used his ears to listen to the movements around him.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a stalk, as if someone had climbed up the stairs to the roof, and it sounded like a very heavy footstep.

After a lot of effort, I finally climbed to the roof.

She trembled, and tiptoed to not dare to disturb Gu Shenyuan, so she cautiously came to him and sat down.

"Aren't you afraid of catching a cold when you sleep here?"

With Jiang Ruanyan's care, Gu Shenyuan felt a warmth all around him.

Looking down, Jiang Ruanyan hugged the only quilt that Xiaohai had given her, and wrapped the two of them inside.

Just like they are on the rooftop of Jishitang.

"It's dangerous here, what are you doing here?" Gu Shenyuan couldn't help but say with disgust.

"What's the danger with you?" Jiang Ruanyan is very naughty,

Besides, didn't you all say that those people were just a bunch of fools, they couldn't find us at all, we all ran so far away, and we didn't encounter a single search, what else should we worry about? ”

Jiang Ruanyan said that he was a little underwhelmed.

Gu Shenyuan flicked his head lightly, "Don't say it too early, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." ”

Jiang Ruanyan pouted dissatisfiedly, since escaping from the capital, Gu Shenyuan has become like a nagging old woman.

She was in the quilt, hugged Gu Shenyuan from behind, and pillowed her head on his shoulder, "You say, will we come back?" ”

She threw the question that Xiao Hai asked her today to Gu Shenyuan again.

Gu Shenyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly, "Maybe." ”

Jiang Ruanyan didn't want to get a very accurate answer, and in comparison, she also knew that this question would hurt Gu Shenyuan a lot, or even greater.

Gu Shenyuan grew up here, and his father and mother were also here, so he left the capital, and there was more reluctance and concern.

If given the right opportunity, he would be happy to come back.

But now there's the problem. I'm afraid it's hard to wait for this opportunity.

The two of them didn't speak again, Jiang Ruanyan quietly leaned on Gu Shenyuan's shoulder, watching the moving actions of the stars in the Milky Way.

Looking at it, she fell asleep.

Late at night, Jiang Ruanyan felt that something was wrong with the "pillow" under him, and moved uncomfortably.

"Words, wake up." Gu Shenyuan called softly in her ear.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ruanyan woke up sleepy-eyed and wanted to rub her eyes, but Gu Shenyuan turned around and hugged her directly off the roof.

"Someone's coming, come inside and hide!" Jiang Ruanyan woke up instantly.

"Don't worry, you go and wake up Jiang Chen and the others first, and wait for me to observe the situation again before making a decision."

"Good!" Jiang Ruanyan immediately ran into the house.

And Gu Shenyuan once again leaped onto the roof.

Just now he heard the footsteps of thousands of catties, and at first he thought he had heard it wrong, so he opened his eyes and listened carefully again.

Indeed, in this barely populated village, the sound of horses' hooves can be heard in the middle of the night.

That's definitely not right.

Although he did not believe it, the generals arranged by his father would go to such a remote village late at night to search for a few of their fugitives.

But for the sake of safety, Gu Shenyuan still woke up Jiang Ruanyan as soon as possible.

Now he climbed up to the roof again, stood in the shade of the trees, and hid in the shadows.

He had expected a group of people to walk towards the room.

Dressed in black, they were well-trained on horses, and they barely made any noise along the way, and their footsteps were so quiet that they could barely be heard.

Jiang Chen was also very anxious after being woken up, he first helped Jiang Ruanyan to wake everyone up.

Everyone was panicked, no one thought that such a remote place would be able to meet a search team.

Jiang Ruanyan was almost stunned when he stood there.

Gu Shenyuan had reminded her before, telling her not to talk nonsense, but she didn't expect it to really become a crow's mouth now.

At the critical moment, Xiao Hai remembered, "By the way, my family has dug a cellar before, you can go there and hide." ”

"Is it safe?" Jiang Ci was the first to react.

"Don't worry, my father and mother have been out for a long time, and the cellar has not been used, except for a little darkness inside, there is absolutely no problem."

The point is that as long as the outside is covered with some dust and leaves, it will never be visible.

At this time, there is only such a way.

Everyone also knows that the cellar is used to store food during the winter, and there is only one entrance and exit.

If officers and soldiers are searching there, then they have nowhere to run.

But at the moment, there is no way to do it.

The group followed Xiaohai to the open space behind the kitchen.

Gu Shenyuan looked at those people above, and when he passed by other households, he didn't care at all, and came directly towards Xiaohai's house, obviously coming prepared.

At this time, the group was walking to the back of the kitchen, and it seemed that they were about to enter the cellar.

Gu Shenyuan thought about it. I had to follow along.

It took a lot of effort for everyone to open the low price, Jiang Chen took the torch and walked in with everyone.

Gu Shenyuan was at the end. He patted Xiao Hai on the shoulder, "It's all up to you for a while." ”

"Leave it to me."

After everyone went into the cellar. Xiaohai stuck a small pebble at the entrance of the cellar to facilitate air circulation.

In other places, they are covered with fallen leaves, which have their own dust, which is the best cover for now.

After finishing it, Xiaohai heard a knock on the courtyard door.

Although the people knocked on the door in a regular manner, they had already seen through the low wooden fence beforehand.

Xiao Hai first forced himself to calm down, then rubbed his eyes and walked to the door with his pants in his belt.

Opening the door, he first glanced at the person in front of him in a daze, and he was stupid.

He rubbed his eyes again, and stared at a pair of eyes under the moon, so that he could see clearly.

"Who are you?" Xiao Hai looked shocked.

But in fact, he was indeed a little curious, how could he not have seen such a soldier in the capital.

The whole body is black, even the horses are black.

"Child, it's so late, why don't you sleep in the yard?"

The person outside the door did not answer, but asked Xiaohai first.

"I'll come out for a little relief." Xiao Hai was still trembling when he spoke, showing that he was very scared.

But Gu Shenyuan knew that these people would not leave because of this superficial effort.

After they rushed into the village, they went straight to Xiaohai's family, it seems that they have already had news about this matter, so they will come here.

"We are from the capital, we were ordered to search, the fugitive prisoner, have you ever had a stranger in your house today?"

The leader of the voice questioned loudly.

Before Xiaohai could answer, the people behind him had already entered his house in two ways.

The chaotic footsteps directly raised the small courtyard into a burst of dust, and those people rushed into the kitchen of Xiaohai's house, and the bedroom was a mess.

"Hey, what are you doing? Don't rummage through our stuff. ”

Xiao Hai hurriedly entered the house to stop it, but where could he stop so many people with one child.

The leader grabbed him by the collar, "You haven't answered what I asked you!" ”

"No, today I went up the mountain early in the morning to collect firewood and look for herbs, and I came back when the sun was about to set, and I said hello to a few grandparents in our village on the way, and then I went home."

Xiaohai replied very easily, "I went to sleep after dinner, and I didn't meet any strangers at all." ”

At this time, Xiao Hai had become very angry when he spoke.

"The only stranger I have to say is you.

"And what about your father?"

"My father and mother are both begging for wages in the capital."

Xiao Hai explained to Jiang Ruanyan before that in order to keep the place, some workers in the orchard and the school changed to the outside world that Jiang Ruanyan had not given them a monthly payment.

If anyone buys the place, they have to settle their salaries first.

Otherwise, they won't leave.

This is their unified statement to the outside world, and let the bookkeeper specially make a false account for them, and the account shows that Jiang Ruanyan has not paid them for several months.

And with the increase of the living meter, the monthly money in the following months adds up to a lot of money.

Everyone else wants to occupy Jiang Ruanyan's assets, and no one wants to pay such a large additional expense after buying it.

So these places have been kept for the time being, but the workers have not been able to return home.

As soon as Xiao Hai said this, the searcher also understood.

"Then did you see a group of young men and women passing by when you were collecting medicine in the mountains?" The man asked a different question.
