At this time, I saw a tall man holding his arm and coming over to check, but it was Zhao Mane, who was shot through the palm of Ruan Lu that day, only poked into his nose, and then spat at the mouth with a gloomy face, "Damn, this beast is dead, and I don't know where he hid this account book?" Hasn't Mo already been handed over to Ruan Lu? ”

Supervisor Sun's face became more and more cold, he only gritted his teeth, and looked ruthless, "I'm afraid it's in his hands." ”

The rest of the others were nervous, and only said, "How is that good, Ruan Lu is a guy who doesn't eat oil and salt, and he doesn't even accept the things we stuffed in the past, if he sends the account books to the capital, wouldn't we be in a big disaster, and ask Lord Sun to think of ways to save me." ”

Sun Sheng's face was ruthless, "Now that he is in our territory, he can still let him turn the sky, as long as he is not allowed to get out of here alive, it will be done, that is, someone will come to check in the future, and he will only insist that he died accidentally, is it possible to drag us all to the capital to punish the crime?" ”

At this time, Zhao Mane had already been born from the side of the gall, and he had already taken it out, gritting his teeth and saying, "Didn't you just find a quagmire on the north side of the river dam?" Let's just trick him there, whether he lives or dies depends on his ability. ”

And they began to take counsel again. Lian Zhi'er curled up under the pine tree until his ankle was a little numb, and then everyone disposed of Zhang Kun's body and went down the mountain.

Lian Zhi'er didn't get quiet until there was only the sound of birds, and then he slowly crawled out, only rubbing his frozen legs, and began to pick up firewood again.

Until the back basket behind him was barely filled with firewood and grass. I didn't want to be scolded when I went back, so I hurried down the mountain.

Because she had been delayed for too long, it was already dark when she returned, and the dappled stars in the sky were shining, barely illuminating the path.

Who knew that she actually met Ruan Lu on the road, but saw him standing under a dead tree at the bottom of the mountain, the cold wind blowing his black sideburns, and the snow-colored fox fur cloak lined his face like a crown of jade, but his eyebrows and eyes saw more anger.

She originally wanted to dodge directly, but when she saw him looking at herself, she felt like a needle on her back, her body had already knelt down, and then she kowtowed heavily in the snow, "Slave and maid to His Royal Highness the Prince of the World." ”

She was carrying a bamboo basket behind her, where could she stop her from tossing like this, and suddenly a dead branch fell from the top of her head, and she couldn't help but let out an "oops".

"Sure enough, it's a stupid person." Ruan Lu snorted coldly, but there was already a little smile in his eyes. "Get up."

Lian Zhi'er staggered up and was about to pick up the dry wood on the ground, but Ruan Lu grabbed his shoulder, but his eyes fell on the blood stains she had already on, "How did you get it?!" ”

Lian Zhi'er didn't know how to answer, so she just made up casually, "I ran into a wild boar on the mountain and slashed it, I wasn't injured, it was its blood." ”

Ruan Lu's face was full of suspicion, "Oh? Where did you come from, you are even more stupid! ”

Lian Zhi'er knew that he was sarcastic about himself, so he didn't care, but said lightly, "If there is nothing to do, the slave will retire." ”

"Zhang Kun is dead." He said slowly, but there was a bit of chill in his voice, "I fell to the bottom of the mountain and died." ”

Lian Zhi'er saw them throw Zhang Kun down the mountain with her own eyes, so she was naturally not surprised, and only nodded lightly, "The slave has already hidden things well, and she will never let others find out." ”

"Aren't you surprised that he's dead? Do you know anything? His shrewd eyes fell on her face.

"No, the slave doesn't know anything. Didn't you say that Zhang Kun couldn't survive, so I didn't feel surprised. She hurriedly covered it up, for fear that he would notice something, "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is really like a god, and the slave admires it very much." ”

Ruan Lu was too lazy to perfunctory with her, and only snorted coldly, "Why are you so happy today, could it be that something good has happened?" ”

Lian Zhi'er was shocked, for fear that the little secret hidden in his heart would be known to him, so he hurriedly said, "There is nothing to be happy about, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has seen it wrong." ”

He snorted coldly, "Who knows what you have in mind, don't let this son know." ”

Seeing that he was so annoyed, Lian Zhi'er was silent.

"Don't go to Ben Shizi tonight, Ben Shizi will be bored when he looks at you."

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, and even his back seemed to be a little angry.

After Lian Zhi'er went back to hand over the errand, the grandmother Sun looked at the pitiful firewood and didn't reprimand her as harshly as before, but just called Lian Zhi'er aside, and said with a complicated gaze, "The Fushuang around His Royal Highness the Prince of Shicai came to look for you, and asked where you went, do you know what he is looking for you?" ”

Lian Zhi'er looked well-behaved and docile, with low eyebrows, "It's about Qingqi, I asked him to take care of Qingqi." ”

"Yes." Grandma Sun nodded as if relieved, and then asked, "I heard that you have often passed away in the courtyard of His Royal Highness in the past few days, has he given you any things for safekeeping?" Or was it given to you by Fushuang? If you hand it over, Mama will definitely take care of you in the future, and she will never let others bully you again in the future. ”

Lian Zhi'er knew what she was looking for, and replied with a panicked face. "After being reprimanded by you that day, the slave maid no longer dared to have other thoughts, although he often died in the courtyard of His Royal Highness the Son these days, but he went to see Qingqi, and he never even saw the face of His Royal Highness the Prince, how could he give the slave and maid something next to him."

"That's it, get up." Mama Sun's face was already showing impatience, and she only thought that Lian Zhi'er's words could not be fake, so she snorted coldly, "If you mention half a word to others about today's matter, I will expose your skin." ”

————————————

On the second day, Lian Zhi'er was assigned to the dirty work of washing clothes again, because there was no Qingqi, and a few buckets of clothes had to be washed for a day.

She skillfully took a sharp stone to smash a hole in the frozen thick ice, and then squatted beside the ice hole to wash her clothes, the cold water was like a sharp knife, and soon the chilblains on her hands cracked again.

She gritted her teeth and continued to wash, but she heard a cold voice from her hand, "Tut-tut-the dignified lord of Beiliang actually washes the most lowly slaves, it's really pitiful!" ”

Lian Zhi'er didn't think that there was someone behind him, and his hand soaked in water trembled suddenly, and the cotton clothes soaked in water sank like stones, and suddenly fell to the bottom of the water.

Lian Zhi'er subconsciously reached out to fish, but the clothes still ran through her fingers, and her entire arm was soaked in water, and she was about to fall into the ice hole.

And at this moment, Ruan Lu quickly grabbed her, and then fished her back.

But I saw him pulling her by the neck. Only to pull back, she fell back hard, her back fell on the cold ice, she grinned in pain, and couldn't get up for a long time.

"You don't want to die? If you want to die, no one will stop you, but don't die in front of this son, who will only feel bad luck when he sees it. His voice was full of anger.

Lian Zhi'er was lying on the ice, and she could only watch your clothes slowly fall to the bottom of the water, and she couldn't do anything.

Seeing her extremely sad appearance, Ruan Lu couldn't help but sneer, "It's just a piece of extremely dirty and smelly clothes, why be so sad?" ”

Lian Zhi'er's face turned pale, and there were faint tears in her eyes, "Maybe because of this clothes, I will be beaten to death, how can His Royal Highness know the misery of us exiles?" ”

What she said was not a lie, a woman who came with her was whipped dozens of times by Grandma Sun with a rattan because she washed a few cotton clothes, but she never got up when she lit it the next day.

It was Lian Zhi'er who called her that day, only to lift her quilt, but saw that her eyes were open, there was no luster in her pale pupils, and her mouth was half open, as if she was trying her best to hide the pain in her body before she died.

Grandma Sun just ordered her body to be rolled up in a torn quilt and thrown away, but Lian Zhi'er still couldn't forget her painful appearance, she kept telling herself. She can't make a single mistake, because she's going to get out of here alive.

Ruan Lu saw that her little face was bloodless, and she looked like she was about to face a catastrophe, but her clear eyes were full of panic and helplessness.

His heart was a little stuffy, and he only shouted from afar, "What are you doing there, come and help." ”

He was shouting Fu Shuang, who had come with him, and he was waiting not far away, dragging the withered yellow reeds by the river, but he was weaving grasshoppers. As soon as he heard Ruan Lu calling him, he hurriedly hid the unwoven grasshopper in his arms and hurried over.

He only heard that something had fallen into the ice cave, and he didn't know what it was, and seeing Ruan Lu's ugly face and frowning eyebrows, he thought it was something important, so he hurriedly thought about it, not daring to delay for a moment.

Soon he found an iron hook for fishing. He also found a hemp rope with the thickness of his little finger and handed it to Ruan Lu.

Ruan Lu only squatted in front of the ice cave and held his breath to probe the rope tied to the fishhook into the bottom of the water, and the rough hemp rope slowly slid down his bony fingers, and finally stopped at the bottom of the water.

Even Zhi'er squatted beside him, looking at it expectantly, not daring to blink for a moment.

The rope kept shaking in the ice hole, as if looking for something, and finally he breathed a long sigh of relief, and pulled the rope out of the rope, and finally suddenly saw that on the iron hook, pulled out a brown cotton coat, and there were a few patches scattered on the cotton clothes, which were thrown on the street, and the flower child was afraid that he would be disliked.

Lian Zhi'er pounced on it like a hungry tiger, clutching the shirt in his hands, for fear that it would fall again.

Ruan Lu looked at her, his face became more and more ugly, and he threw the iron hook and rope in his hand into the icy river water. In the end, he was vicious, "This son is really fascinated by your slut, what are you doing?!" ”

Fushuang was also dumbfounded, looking at the solemn look on Ruan Lu's face, he had never been so serious about participating in the palace examination in the past, he thought it was a peerless treasure, but he didn't expect it-

Ruan Lu had already stood up, looked at Lian Zhi'er and said, "Don't wash, go to a place with this son." ”

Lian Zhi'er refused without thinking. "If you can't finish washing, you will be disposed of by your grandmother."

He turned around and ordered Fushuang, who was watching the excitement, in a cold tone, "You wash, if you can't finish washing, this son will punish you." ”

Fushuang was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground, "Yes." ”

Ruan Lu turned around and said to Lian Zhi'er again, "You go with this son, if you say that again." The son of this world threw all your buckets of torn clothes into the ice cave. ”

She knew he did what he said, so she hurriedly nodded, "Yes." ”

The two of them walked one after the other, her head down, and she stepped on her toes against his shadow reflected in the snow.

Suddenly, his shadow stopped, and she paused, only to see him looking at her with a strange gaze. She subconsciously took a step back, and there was a little more trepidation in her clear eyes.

He saw that her wet sleeves had been rolled up, and the child had exposed a frozen red arm in the dripping weather.

He unfastened his cloak. walked over and draped it on her body, but his expression was so cold, "Don't tremble and annoy people." ”

The fox fur cloak was very warm, and the snow-white and smooth fox fur gently brushed her cheeks, and the delicate and gentle feeling was like the experience of the previous life, and the only thing she suffered in this life was bitter cold, and what she wore on her body was always rough cotton clothes.

In Bei Liang's tent, her bed was covered with a snow-white wolf skin mattress, which her father personally hunted and gave her a birthday gift.

Seeing that she was stunned, he snorted coldly, "Why don't you go quickly, what are you doing slowly?" ”

Lian Zhi'er just followed, but suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "His Royal Highness, where are we going?" ”

Ruan Lu's face was already impatient, but he still replied to her words, "The river dam in the north has fallen into a piece, and this son will take a look." ”

It occurred to Lian Zhi'er that this was clearly everything that those people had planned, and to get to the north of the river dam had to pass through a field of reeds, and if no one took it, it would be easy to run into the swamp.

Even when she crossed that place, she would rather have to walk a little more.

Countless thoughts were already surging in her heart, but she clearly knew that if she found an excuse to leave at this time, someone as shrewd as Ruan Lu would definitely notice something, did she really want to die with him?

Sure enough, Ruan Lu already had a suspicious look at this time, and there was a bit of inquiry in his eyes, "Why don't you go quickly?" ”

Lian Zhi'er didn't hesitate anymore, just followed behind him and walked north.

Soon they reached the reeds of the northern pen, the withered yellow reeds were still very high, and the leaves were more like knife blades cutting into people's faces.

Ruan Lusheng was tall, and the leaves were only on his shoulders, so he didn't feel anything. But Lian Zhi'er was hardly spared, not only endured the pain like a knife, but also had to carry a long fox fur cloak, and every step was extremely difficult.

Finally, she stepped on the mud with one foot, and "Peng" knelt on the ground, and didn't stand up for a long time in pain.

Ruan Lu walked in front, so he had to turn around and come back to check, but he saw that her wrists were just scratched skin, and her knees were blocked by a fox fur cloak, so there was no big problem.

He still reflexively squatted in front of him, and said impatiently, "Come up." ”

Lian Zhi'er didn't refuse, and really lay on his back very well-behaved, and after he got up, Lian Zhi'er was very close.

In front of her was the back of his neck, and if she had a dagger at this time, then......

She was thinking about it when she heard him sneer. "Are you thinking about how to murder this son behind your back?"

Lian Zhi'er knew that he might just be joking, but she felt that he seemed to have eyes behind him, so she felt stiff, and hurriedly denied it, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

"You're really not honest." He snorted coldly, and carried him on.

His back was extremely warm, as if she had forgotten the despair of dying.

Finally, when he stepped into a reed field, Lian Zhi'er suddenly felt her body sink down, but before she could exclaim, she felt Ruan Lu turn around and drag her from her back to her arms, and then violently threw Lian Zhi'er to the reed ground on the side.

The body is covered with soft reeds, and even the branches do not hurt when they fall.

She only pressed her hand beside her before she let out a heavy sigh of relief, at least he threw himself out of the swamp.

By the time she looked up, the black mud had sunk into his waist, and he was about to sink into it.

But his eyes still fell on Lian Zhi'er's body, without a trace of panic, and he seemed to be relieved to see that she was safe and sound, "Don't be afraid, stay there obediently." ”

He struggled to untie his belt, which caused him to sink down a little.

But he threw it forward, and the belt was instantly wrapped around a pile of reeds in front of Lian Zhi'er, and under the reeds was a very thick ice, and he was able to get out of it with such strength.

And at this moment, he really had already exerted his strength, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Lian Zhi'er pounced on it, trying to untie the tangled belt.

At this moment, she clearly saw the look on his face, stunned, puzzled, and finally endlessly angry.

Lian Zhi'er still untied the belt, and then pulled it hard, and it was pulled out of Ruan Lu's hand, clutched in his hand, and even his fingertips were trembling.

This is the first time she has killed someone in her life, and she is obviously the person she hates the most, but she still feels like she has fallen into endless darkness.

"You already knew, didn't you?" Thinking of Shicai's sneaky appearance on the road, how could he not understand the truth, "Why?" ”

"It was you who killed my own brother in front of me, and I will definitely seek revenge on you." Lian Zhi'er's eyes were wide open, his voice was hoarse, and his eyes full of hatred fell straight on his face, with such hatred.

"But if it weren't for the fact that this son killed your brother, would you still have the life to stand here now?" Obviously, he kept falling, but he didn't have the slightest fear.

"I'd rather be strangled to death by my brother at the beginning, at least the people who come to Beiliang can bring our bodies back to Beiliang, not like this, and endure your torture." Tears fell down her eyes, and when she said every word, she felt that she didn't cut the sharp knife out of her throat, "If you die, none of us owe anyone." ”
