Chapter 438: Escapism
The two of them didn't know how long they had been walking, Cao Xiwen only felt that his feet were like being filled with lead, and when it was difficult to support them, Ye Yin finally screamed in surprise.
"Thank goodness, it's the end of it!"
Cao Xiwen fixed his eyes and saw that the dark and secluded secret passage was actually an end in front of him.
"Where is the exit, why didn't I see it?"
Ye Yin didn't answer, and pressed hard against a depression in the wall, but after all, the strength was small, and the wall did not move.
"Get out of the way, I'll come."
Ye Yin saw that Cao Xiwen couldn't spare his hand with the princess on his back, and wanted to say what can you do, but Cao Xiwen had already turned around and kicked back, and there was a "dull" sound on the inside of the wall, as if he had touched something. Immediately afterward, the wall moved to the left, revealing an exit.
"Yours is yours!" Ye Yin was overjoyed, and drilled in first.
Cao Xiwen thought to himself, this secret passage is really secret, don't say that the entrance has been hidden so well, even if someone accidentally bumps into the secret passage, I am afraid that when I walk here, I will not think that the exit will be hidden behind the wall. The mind of Uncle You, who dug this tunnel, is about the same as that Ye Zhiqiu.
The servants cautiously came out of the cave and found that it was actually in a thatched hut, which had obviously been abandoned for a long time, and the silence was so quiet that one felt furious.
There was a sudden call of an owl in the distance, Ye Yin was scared when she heard it, and she didn't want to be seen by Cao Xiwen, so she pretended to be calm and said: "I don't know what kind of place this is, let's stop staying here, hurry up and go out to have a look." ”
When I got out of the house, I found that this was a small village, and this house happened to be at the very edge of the village, uninhabited.
The snow was still unabated, and the dark blue snow light reflected the faces of the three of them.
Suddenly, Ye Yin pointed behind Cao Xiwen and said "oops".
Cao Xiwen thought that a wild beast was following, so he hurriedly turned around and looked, and found that there was nothing behind him.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Yin pointed to Cao Xiwen's feet: "Look! Blood! ”
Cao Xiwen hurriedly put down the crown princess, only to find that although she had not woken up from a coma, her white robe was covered with blood stains.
"This ...... Where did this hurt? I've been careful all the way, so I shouldn't have hit anything. ”
"Probably, not hit somewhere. It's ......" Ye Yin frowned tightly and pointed to Zhu Zhijie's stomach. Although she still didn't know much about the girl who had not left the cabinet, she saw that the blood stains were only on the robe under her waist, but there was nothing on the upper half of her body, so she had this guess.
"So what to do?"
"How did I know about such a thing?" Ye Yin also felt that it was tricky, she looked around, and there seemed to be a farm in the distance with a faint light.
"Why don't we go there and knock on the door, at least tonight we have to find a place to stay."
"Good!" Cao Xiwen carefully picked up Zhu Zhijie and moved towards the light.
The two of them were too tired to walk at first, but when they saw a little bean light in the dark night, they suddenly came to their senses, and their feet were lighter.
Ye Yin rushed ahead, walked to the door and knocked a few times.
"Anyone?"
There was a rustling sound in the room, as if clothes were rubbing, and then there seemed to be a figure passing by the window, and then there was no movement.
"Anyone?" Ye Yin felt a little strange, obviously feeling that there were people in the house, how could she not be silent?
Suddenly she heard a whisper, as if it were
Someone is talking.
"She's asking if there's anybody."
"Nobody, of course."
"Then you go tell her that there is no one and let her die?"
"How can I say, if I say it, it means that there are people in the house."
"It makes sense, then we won't talk."
Ye Yin thought it was funny, it was too unreasonable to pretend that no one was coming, seeing that this snowy day was about to freeze people, no matter what, she had to knock on the door to avoid the wind and snow.
"We're passing through, and there's nowhere to go in the event of a heavy snowstorm, so please do a good job and let us avoid it, right?"
At this time, Cao Xiwen also arrived at the door with Zhu Zhijie on his back, and saw that Ye Yin was still standing there, a little strange.
"What's wrong? Won't this family open the door? ”
"I don't know what's wrong, I can hear someone talking, but I just don't say it."
Cao Xiwen put down Zhu Zhijie and said, "I'll try it!" ”
He clenched his fists and pounded at the door, and shouted at the top of his voice:
"A few of us are just passing by, there is no evil intention, just let us survive this night, we must leave tomorrow morning, please open the door!"
Cao Xiwen knocked on the door much harder than Ye Yin, and after a few knocks, the door was shaken, and even a few strings of garlic hanging at the door were shaken to the ground, so frightened that the people in the door hurriedly shouted.
"I didn't ...... No one! There was no one in the house! ”
"That's right! No one, you guys hurry up! ”
Ye Yin was a little annoyed when she saw this, isn't this a blind break in front of her face? She was about to have a seizure, but Cao Xiwen stopped her and said, "Forget it...... Since you don't want to, don't force it, after all, it's someone else's home. How can you be strong if you refuse to take it in? Aren't there other farmhouses over here? Let's try another one. ”
Seeing him persuade him like this, Ye Yin had to hold back her anger and turn around and want to leave.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhijie tried to open her eyes and said in a weak voice:
"Two concubines...... Save me. Then he fainted again.
Cao Xiwen and Ye Yin couldn't understand what she meant by this sentence, but after a while, they heard a "squeak" and the door opened.
I saw two old women holding the door panel on one side, looking out cautiously. They only glanced at Zhu Zhijie, and then exclaimed in unison:
"It's really her!"
"Sister, what should I do? We're hiding here exposed! ”
"What to do? Hurry up and hide people in before asking why! Also, why do you call me sister again? You're two years older than me! ”
"I'm older than you, but I look younger than you."
As soon as Cao Xiwen saw that the two of them had opened the door, where could they miss it, he picked up Zhu Zhijie and shouted: "Disturb!" Then he rushed into the house, and when Ye Yin saw this, he followed.
The two old women were afraid of the big noise, so they hurriedly closed the door and firmly fastened the deadbolt.
"Hey, sister, look, it's not the prince who is holding the princess!"
"Of course it's not the prince, where does the prince have this young man who is strong and eye-catching?" One of the old women seemed to have forgotten Fang Cai's fear, and actually smiled at Cao Xiwen.
Cao Xiwen and Ye Yin became more and more surprised, how could these two people who looked like peasant women recognize the crown princess at a glance, and they were obviously familiar with the prince between the words, could it really be the concubine in Zhu Zhijie's mouth?
"Old man, help us take a look, my sister is bleeding from her body, and I don't know what's wrong."
The old woman glared at Ye Yin and asked, "She is your sister?" You're also from the blue sea? ”
Another old woman interjected, "Not necessarily, what if you have to call someone else's sister to look young, like you?" ”
"But ......"
Cao Xiwen saw the chatter between the two old women, and couldn't help but interject: "It's important to save people, let's talk about the rest later?" ”
"It's good, but we can't help the princess."
"Why?"
"She's about to give birth, and we haven't had a baby, how do we know what to do?"
"This ......"
Cao Xiwen and Ye Yin glanced at each other, but they were also helpless, they couldn't imagine that they would come all the way, and they would actually carry out a back on the verge of giving birth.
"Then on this Zhuangzi, is there a stable woman?"
"Where do we know? We only stayed here yesterday. ”
Cao Xiwen thought for a while and said to Ye Yin: "In this way, I'll go out and ask the people in the Zhuangzi to see if I can invite Wen Po." ”
As soon as the words fell, the two old women said in unison: "Don't go!" ”
"Why?"
"Can't let anyone know we're here!"
Ye Yin was angry: "Help or not, we have to go to find Wen Po and won't let you find her, do you just watch her suffocate here?" ”
"What's the solution? We told her at the beginning that if you want to live a long time, don't have children, but she didn't listen. ”
"Yes, she doesn't."
The two old women sang and harmonized.
Ye Yin was impatient to mess with them, turned to Cao Xiwen and said, "Leave them alone, you just go and invite, I'll watch here." Saying that, he deliberately raised his voice and said: "By the way, tell the people in Zhuangzi that there are two strange old ladies who have moved in, and let them come to know the new neighborhood." ”
Cao Xiwen said "um" and was about to pull out his feet and go out.
The two old women were suddenly anxious, and one of them scolded: "You little girl, how can you take revenge?" It's good to come in and take shelter from the wind and snow, why do you want to shake our business out now? ”
The other nervously persuaded: "Sister, otherwise you can help them, and save us from the palace that we can easily escape, but we are confused and bad in the hands of these people." ”
When Ye Yin heard this, she hurriedly turned her smile and asked, "Do you have a way?" ”
"Of course, haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run? Although my sisters have never had a child, they want to get rid of the child, and that is very good. ”
Cao Xiwen was anxious when he heard this, "No! We are trying to find someone to help deliver the baby, how can we get rid of the baby! I also ask the old man to help me no matter what, and deliver the baby for my friend's daughter-in-law, I Cao Xiwen is grateful! So saying, he knelt down on one leg and spoke with great sincerity.
Li Chongyan is dead, only his daughter-in-law has this bit of blood in her stomach, if he doesn't save Chongyan, how can he be worthy of his trust before his death!
The old woman who was called her sister saw Cao Xiwen pleading, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, you are much more polite than that wild girl who has no tutor, since you beg me so sincerely, I will help you." ”
Although Ye Yin has a brutal temperament, but because her father is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, how can she not know when it comes to etiquette, but now she is ridiculed as a wild girl without a tutor, and she is about to sneer at the moment when she has a purple face, but she was signaled by Cao Xiwen's mouth, so she forcibly suppressed her temperament, and replied in disbelief: "You really know how to deliver babies?" ”
