CHAPTER XVIII

Arrived at the west gate of Yuezhou City, there were almost no single pedestrians going out, because not far out of the city was the pass, there were some caravans out of the city, all of them went to the Zhou Kingdom, the west gate was not very strict with people, but the goods of the caravan were checked very strictly.

Xin Yao and Xiao Xue hid not far away and watched, Xiao Xue asked, "Little brother, how did you get over?" ”

Xin Yao lowered her head and thought about it, it is easy to be discovered by the people of the caravan when she mixes into the caravan, they are familiar with each other, but it is even more difficult to do, go out of the city gate alone, there must be a reason, and when you get out of the city gate, there is still a pass, if you want to pass the pass, you must have a customs clearance document, this method is really not easy to think......

Pretending to be sick, yes, pretending to be leprosy, they are still more afraid of this disease!

"Xiaoxue, bring your silver needle." Xin Yao said to Xiaoxue.

"Oh, what do you want the silver needle for?"

"It works."

Xiaoxue handed the silver needle to Xin Yao. Xin Yao took it and tied it up on her face, Xiao Xue was shocked and hurriedly pressed Xin Yao: "You are crazy, pierce your face." ”

"I'm not crazy, I want to pretend that I have leprosy, they are all afraid, they will not check, they will only let me go away quickly, and when I get to the city gate, you will say, I am your father-in-law, I have leprosy, I am originally from Zhou, I want to go out of the city and go back to Zhou, you can remember, you want to pretend to be like, you know?"

Xiaoxue looked at Xin Yao's face full of blood spots, and reached out to touch it in distress.

Xin Yao hurriedly dodged: "Don't move, it's not like it's gone when the blood is gone, there is a tofu stall not far from coming over just now, you go and order bean dregs." Xin Yao looked at her with a puzzled face, and explained: "Wipe it on your face, I have seen lepers in a small village, how can I mix it up if I don't pretend to be like a dot." ”

Xiaoxue heard her say this, and hurriedly ran to find a tofu stall. Xin Yao pricked some blood in her neck again.

Xiaoxue came back soon, Xin Yao carefully stuck the bean dregs on her face and neck, the bean dregs and blood, if you don't look carefully, it should be okay. So he asked Xiaoxue, "What do you think?" The lepers have big pustules with pus on their faces and bodies, piled up and piled up, very scary, do you think I look like me? ”

Xiaoxue looked at it, alas! Where is it like, no matter how you look at it, it is a little blood mixed with tofu dregs, and the scum is returned when you touch it, this line, I still have a little mana now, just try it. "Little brother, you close your eyes, I'll figure it out for you."

Xin Yao closed her eyes. Xiaoxue saw that her eyes were closed, and she closed her eyes too, imagining the appearance of a leper patient, concentrating her thoughts, drawing a circle in front of Xin Yao's face, muttering with her hand in her mouth, then opened her eyes and looked at Xin Yao's face, it's okay, this time it's like a lot, there are blisters and blood, which is similar to what Xin Yao said.

"Alright, no problem! Open your eyes. Xiaoxue said proudly.

Xin Yao opened her eyes and thought, this is nothing! No, you have to cover it, there is a cloth sheet in the Qiankun bag that is usually used to tie the hammock, Xin Yao took out the cloth sheet, tore off the two ends, covered a large piece in the middle on the head, and hung down to cover the head, face and neck.

Xiaoxue helped Xin Yao to walk to the city guards at the city gate, and Xin Yao bowed her body, as if she was very sick.

The defenders looked at them and asked, "Who are you, and what are you doing with your heads covered?" As he spoke, he went to lift the cloth on Xin Yao's head.

Xiaoxue hurriedly blocked his hand: "Master Bing, he has leprosy, it's better not to touch it." ”

The little soldier shrank back in fright when he heard this: "Leprosy? ”

The other, who was older, said to the soldier, "Open it and see if it's true." ”

Seeing that the little soldier did not move.

The older defender said, "You wait, I'll go find Vice Wei Li." ”

Xin Yao's heart was up and down, very worried that the city guard would come, Xiaoxue grabbed her arm tightly, and she was nervous.

After a while, I saw the city defender come back alone, with a stick in his hand, and picked the cloth on Xin Yao's head from a distance to take a look, it was really, very scary, and he turned around and shouted: "It's leprosy, it's quite serious." ”

I heard a man in the caravan shouting, "Let it go." ”

When the people of the caravan heard that there was leprosy, they all hurried to stand far away.

Xin Yao breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, thanks to the defender of the city, he didn't come. Then he bent over, pretending to say "cough cough ......" twice, and said to Xiaoxue: "Go." ”

Xiaoxue helped her to stagger, and the two defenders hid far away and shouted, "Hurry up!" Hurry up! Xin Yao and Xiao Xue quickened their pace as they listened.

When she got out of the city and was far away from the city gate, Xin Yao straightened her waist, Xiaoxue wanted to take down the cloth covering her head for her, Xin Yao said: "Don't take it yet, it's not far from the pass ahead, let's hurry over, there is no customs clearance paperwork, I don't know if this trick can work?" Xin Yao lifted the cloth and showed her face.

As he spoke, he took out the only charm from the Qiankun bag and stuffed it into Xiaoxue's hand: "It's coming in a while, if you can't get through, you take this charm, as long as you throw it out, you can run for your life." ”

Xiaoxue took the charm, looked at Xin Yao and asked, "When I bought the jar, I turned over the Qiankun bag, and there was only this one, you gave it to me, what about you?" ”

"I still have it, in my sleeve." Xin Yao said.

"You're lying, do you want to take it out and take a look?"

Xin Yao frowned and said very seriously: "Xiaoxue, don't make trouble, at this critical juncture, it's important to find a way to get over, after a delay, maybe Xu Gongzi will send someone to chase after you." ”

Seeing Xin Yao say this, Xiaoxue is not stubborn. Helping Xin Yao to hurry to the pass.

When they arrived at the pass, the number of guards increased significantly, and there were two rows at the gate alone, and a table was placed next to the small door, and a civil official sat there, checking the customs clearance documents.

Xin Yao put the bully on her head and covered it, and said to Xiaoxue: "When you get to the door in a while, you will help me sit down first, and then go over to find the civil official, and say that my father-in-law has leprosy, and I heard that there are people in Zhou who can cure it, see if it can be convenient." Then he took out all the silver in the Qiankun bag and handed it to Xiaoxue: "Quietly stuff it to him, so that no one else can see it." ”

Xiaoxue nodded, she is the best at acting, and it is simply the right thing to leave to her. So the two walked to the small door, helped Xinyao sit down, and Xiaoxue walked towards the civil official.

When she arrived in front of the civil official, Xiaoxue said what Xin Yao taught her, and then choked up and said: "My lord, I didn't dare to let him come over, so I had to let him sit there far away, for fear of infecting you. Then he turned to the side of the civil official to block it, and quietly stuffed the silver into the sleeve of the civil official. The civil official didn't squeak, glanced at Xin Yao, and got up to find the guard.

Xiaoxue thought, it's over, he's going to denounce! turned around and walked over to Xin Yao, and said to Xin Yao: "It's over, he's going to find the guard!" ”

Xin Yao held Xiaoxue down: "Don't panic, help me up, let's go to the door." ”

As soon as Xiaoxue helped Xin Yao up, she heard a shout from the door, "You two, come here." ”

Is it for them? Xiao Xue looked towards the door, only to see the civil official and the guard standing together, pointing at them, Xiao Xue hesitated.

The civil servant shouted again: "Don't come yet, what's the grind!" ”

Xin Yao asked, "Are you calling us?" ”

"Yes." Xiaoxue replied.

"Then go over." Xin Yao patted Xiaoxue's hand and comforted her not to panic.

Xiaoxue helped Xin Yao to walk over, and the guard asked, "Is he suffering from leprosy?" ”

Xiaoxue nodded.

"Let me see." After the guard finished speaking, he lifted Xin Yao's hijab. Xin Yao hurriedly closed her eyes and lowered her head, and said in her heart, "It's over." ”

The guard looked at the face and took a step back: "Hey, really, it's all overgrown." ”

The civil official hid aside and said, "It's scary, let it go quickly, this disease is contagious." ”

Shoucheng pointed at Xiaoxue: "You come here." ”

Xiao Xue saw that she was called over, but she had no choice, so she let go of Xin Yao's arm and walked in front of the city guard. Shoucheng looked at Xiaoxue's face and said, "Pull your hair away, lower your head, and expose your neck, hurry up!" ”

Xiaoxue didn't understand what to do, so she did it. The guard did not dare to touch Xiaoxue, for fear of being infected with leprosy, so he stretched his neck and looked carefully, but there was no mark. So he smiled and said to them: "Okay, you go over, infect a few more people of the Zhou Kingdom, and it will be considered as giving me the merit of the Jin Kingdom, hahaha......"

The soldier standing next to him laughed as well.

Xiaoxue hurriedly helped Xin Yao and walked out in broken steps.

In the distance, you can still hear where they are talking and laughing.

Until they couldn't see the pass, the two of them ran away, running fast. I couldn't run anymore, so I bent over and gasped for air, and then the two of them laughed at each other.

After laughing for a while, he finally stopped, Xin Yao pointed to his face: "Although I can't see it, I didn't expect it to be able to pass the test like this, it seems that God is helping me, heh......"

Xiaoxue hurriedly went up: "I'll help you wipe it clean, it's so ugly!" After speaking, she sighed at Xin Yao's face, those pimple pustules were gone, only tofu residue remained, she gently wiped off the tofu residue, looked at the skin pricked with silver needles was still red, and said distressedly: "You must know that if you treat yourself like this, I shouldn't give it to you." ”

Xin Yao smiled and said: "What's there, as long as you can escape, it's all a trivial matter, Xiaoxue, don't get it, we have to leave quickly, after this mountain pass, when we reach the territory of Zhou Kingdom, we will be really safe." ”

The two of them picked up their good mood, trotted as they walked, and rushed to the territory of Zhou.
