Qiaoshui Village by the Yellow River, here is the convergence of the three major tributaries of the Yellow River, because the waterway is developed and the water transportation is convenient, so this wilderness will slowly and naturally converge into such a small village.

There is a small pier here, and the shipwharts who pass by here like to replenish the necessities of life on board and take a break ashore.

After four days and nights of traveling, Da Niu and they arrived here in the morning with Chen Lan, Hong Ziyan and Li Xiu.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan got out of the carriage cautiously with Li Xiu's support, and when they just got off the carriage, the three of them could hardly walk.

Along the way, Da Niu never let the three girls have a chance to get off the carriage and walk around, and the bumps along the way have already made the three of them weak.

"Madam, there is a small inn in front of Miss, we will rest here for a day today, and we can take a boat to Kaifeng early tomorrow morning." Da Niu said to the second daughter with a smile.

Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan looked at Li Xiu, and after seeing her nodding, Chen Lan said: "Let the store prepare some clothes for us first, we haven't even taken a shower along the way." ”

Da Niu smiled and said, "Madame, please rest assured, we will have all the things for Madame later." Madame, Mademoiselle, please come with me. ”

The big bull was in front, and his men scattered around the three girls in the middle, and walked together to the inn in front of them.

After Li Xiu got off the carriage, she kept looking around, and she would make some marks along the road along the way. It's a pity that for the sake of prudence, she didn't dare to make it too obvious, and she had always done it very secretly, for fear that she would be discovered by this big bull and invite death.

But in this way, if there are pursuers behind, it is difficult to find the marks she left, and now she can only pray to God that she can let her mark be seen by the Dongjiang army.

The inn was small, with only two floors of small wooden buildings, but here it is the tallest and only building. From the outside, this inn looks very ordinary, but I didn't expect to enter the inside, but I found that there was a cave.

The interior of the inn is very elegantly decorated, and after entering the door, there is a hall with ten tables for guests to eat. A few men were cleaning the hall and scrubbing the table, which was deserted, and no one had come to eat yet.

A chubby man who claimed to be the shopkeeper of the inn greeted him with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to stay or eat." ”

Da Niu touched it from his arms, and ten taels of silver ingots suddenly appeared in his hand, and he threw it to the shopkeeper: "Arrange four upper rooms for us, and then prepare bath water for our wife, and then send all the food to the upstairs room." ”

The shopkeeper took the flying silver ingot, felt a sinking in his hand, he weighed it carefully, and then said with a smile with bright eyes: "Ladies and gentlemen, please go up to the second floor, you can choose the room yourself, no one will live in this meeting yet." ”

Da Niu nodded with satisfaction and took the lead in walking to the second floor, and Chen Lan, Hong Ziyan and Li Xiu had to follow their footsteps upstairs.

The second floor is indeed as the shopkeeper said, no one lives in it, and the doors of more than a dozen rooms are wide open, and you only need to glance at a glance to see the situation in the house clearly.

Da Niu paused slightly, then raised his feet and walked towards the innermost room, until he reached the bottom room, he stopped satisfied: "Madam, you can rest in this room today." ”

Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan stretched out their heads to look at each other, and found that there was no window in this room, the two of them immediately frowned, and Chen Lan was even more dissatisfied and said, "We don't want to live in this ......."

Da Niu's face suddenly sank at this moment, and he said fiercely: "Then I can't help you, send Mrs. in, and then guard here, if they dare to mess around, tie them up, and gag their mouths to Lao Tzu." ”

"Yes, Dutou." More than a dozen big men immediately responded in unison.

From the moment he arrived in this small village, Da Niu had completely lost his patience, and now he simply showed his true colors.

Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan's faces immediately changed greatly, and the two of them no longer had any suspicions. This big bull is indeed not a secret guard sent by Mao Wenlong, Li Xiu really didn't guess wrong.

The two were about to go crazy, and they were about to shout loudly, but at this time, Li Xiu secretly said that it was not good, and quickly pulled the two directly into the room.

"Miss, madam, don't resist, or we'll be unlucky." Li Xiu lowered his voice and persuaded the two.

Outside just now, the head of the capital has completely exposed his true colors, which means that they are no longer afraid of Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan's resistance. If you end up being tied up because of useless resistance, you won't have a chance to escape.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan immediately shut up, not daring to provoke that Du Du to be angry again.

Seeing that the two of them were quiet, Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Miss, madam, don't worry, now we still have a day to find a way to escape." You should try to recover your strength now and prepare for your escape. ”

"Xiaoxiu is right, we can only rely on you now, now we all listen to you, we will do what you say." Chen Lan took the lead in expressing his position.

"Yes, yes, we all listen to you." Hong Ziyan also immediately agreed.

Li Xiu was a little funny in her heart, usually the two in front of her were dignified and generous, especially Chen Lan, who had the majesty of a housemother. Li Xiuke has never had the opportunity to see the second daughter so lost and depressed, and she is completely out of proportion.

However, this also proves that the second daughter is really scared at the moment, and Li Xiu in front of her is obviously their only life-saving straw at present, so they hold on so tightly.

Li Xiuhao comforted the two daughters and told them to eat when they should eat, rest more when they should rest, and she will arrange the rest, so they don't need to worry about it anymore.

Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan also knew that they couldn't help anything at the moment, so they could only obey Li Xiu's arrangement.

The guys in a few shops quickly delivered the food and the things they needed, but unfortunately those men didn't let the guys get close to Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan's house, and the things were all transferred in by them.

This directly led to the failure of Li Xiu's first escape plan, but fortunately she didn't care, she still had a second plan to implement.

After Dutou finished eating, he came to Chen Lan's room, whispered a few words to the four subordinates at the door, and then went downstairs and left the inn directly.

Li Xiu, who has been looking for a chance to get out, has been lying at the door just now and eavesdropping, and when she heard that the head was going to leave for half a day, she immediately had an idea.

Li Xiu immediately turned around and discussed with Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, and after a while, Li Xiu took a peek at the door again, and did not find anything abnormal, so she nodded to Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan to start.
