Carefree Girl (4)
The next day, Xue Ling got up early. The streets were bustling with people, and they looked far more bustling than they had been yesterday evening. She chose a very lively teahouse, sat quietly in a corner and ate snacks, but her ears were always listening to the gossip of people coming and going.
It's not that she's not in a hurry to leave, it's just that she's too concerned. Concern is chaos. In the past few days, he has lost contact with everyone and has been shuttling through the wilderness again. As soon as he arrived in the market, Xue Ling couldn't help it and wanted to inquire about the capital. Fortunately, in this county, no one talked about the Xue family's guilt.
It was Xue Ling who deliberately provoked it, and it was still General Zhenbei who was shouting in the mouths of others. Although it is some distance from the capital, with Xue Yihan's status, if anything happens, it should be known to the world. At the moment, no one talked about it, but Xue Ling felt a little more relieved.
After breakfast, he walked around again, and walked around several streets, but there was indeed no court-related notice saying that Xue Yihan had been convicted. I couldn't help but wonder who was chasing and killing her in the past few days, whether the Huo family was intentionally framed, or whether the Son of Heaven was secretly involved.
Waiting for this circle to go down, it was already noon when he returned to the inn, and he couldn't get out of his head, Xue Ling simply fell over, he had no sleep all night last night, and today he finally had some good signs, and he couldn't hide his sleepiness. I slept until the night and didn't wake up. I didn't go out to eat, I only called Xiao Er to send it to the room. I plan to pick up a fast horse early tomorrow morning and rush back to the capital.
She, really, misses Daddy so much. It's okay not to think about everything in the past. Even if Daddy exchanged her for Xue Li, she was still panicking at the moment, especially when she lost Lu Wen'an. Even if she knew that the capital was in dire straits, she still wanted to go back.
Although the county is prosperous, there is no horse market, and most of the horses are trained to pull carts. Xue Ling picked and chose for a while, and only managed to find a good one, but when he walked to the city gate, he was stopped. It was said that there was a death penalty from above. Ming'er has to come up and strictly inspect before he can start to be released. Xue Ling didn't dare to force himself for fear of revealing his identity, so he had to retreat and continue to find a teahouse to listen to people's chat.
Late that night, the old man of the pawnshop was dragged from the bed to the ground. Watching the ghost ball he gave out swaying in front of his eyes.
"Whoever deserves it to you?"
The old man only thought that he had cheated the wrong person, and the main man came to seek revenge, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly: "It's a little boy who looks quite rich." Old man, I didn't cheat him....old man, I was blind at first, and I didn't see a grass in it. Your Excellency has a lot of" He banged his head on the ground, not noticing that the person had been walking for a long time.
When Xue Ling walked to the city gate again, he saw the people searching the city gate from afar, and then he was in a cold sweat.
She recognized the face. When he was in the Jiang family, the people brought by Huo Yunsheng had this face. The original side of the relationship should not be so impressive. It's just that Lu Wen'an kicked Jiang Yufeng's leg at that time, and was seen by this person. Xue Ling had the intention to pay compensation, but found that this person didn't react at all, so he felt suspicious and looked at it several times. The mole at the corner of the mouth is too eye-catching.
What kind of bullshit fugitive, what people are looking for is her Xue Ling.
Xue Ling hesitated for a moment, she was now an ordinary daughter's family, and she wanted to mix up. It's just that she can't get through, there are only three or four people searching for her, she has a short sword in her hand, and the outcome is unknown.
But after thinking about it carefully, I still don't dare to take risks, there are three or four people in the open, and I don't know how many there are in the dark, once it fails, it's all over. With this thought, he immediately turned around.
Fearing that something would happen, even the horse was abandoned, and the inn did not dare to return. She has been in this county for more than two days, but she doesn't know where she has revealed her identity, and at this moment the city gate is strictly checked, and ordinary means can't get out, and she doesn't know where she can go. I was anxious.
Walking aimlessly, he went off the rails, until he reached the edge of the city, and found a dilapidated house in front of him, with ragged children playing in it. When I looked closer, I saw that there were homeless people gathering.
The smell inside the door was rancid, and Xue Ling smeared some dirt on his body, but still ran in.
The homeless people inside seemed to be used to seeing people coming and going, and some didn't even bother to turn over and take a look. However, two people looked at Xue Ling from a close distance, and their mouths were ill-intentioned: "Why did such a peugeot girl come here, I thought they were all going to the kiln." ”
Xue Ling didn't know how much he heard this kind of nonsense when he was a child, so he didn't care about it at all, so he found a corner and sat down heavily. While thinking about what went wrong, while thinking about how to get out.
The situation became worse and worse, in addition to the wide entrance and exit of the city gate, people also began to search the city, and even this beggar's den was searched two or three times. The good thing is that it doesn't matter so much to girls, and the people who checked were all fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys, and when I asked if it was the past few days, I immediately slipped away.
Hiding like this, I don't know when I can't hide. And Xue Ling was surprised to find that there was more news among beggars than ordinary people. She already knew that Xue Yihan was in prison. I am even more impatient to return to the capital. Although her father told her to wait for her in Pingcheng. But she can't go back to Pingcheng alone at the moment.
Xue Ling carefully checked back and forth, this county seat originally had four city gates, east, west, north and south, and in the end, Xue Ling still decided to go out from the east gate, although he had to go back to the north after going out. But when she looked at it, she could see a large forest outside the east gate, and she had never seen it before. If you want to arrest her, it should also be for the portrait. If she goes out of the city as a daughter and gets her face dirty, she should be able to get out.
After thinking about it, Xue Ling still decided to leave later, although the city had begun a curfew, and it was not allowed to go out of the city at night. But she looked at the beggar next to her and decided to take a gamble. The light is not very good at night. This face is less likely to be recognized.
It was still early, Xue Ling was lying on the straw pile, and suddenly got up again, she had a short sword on her body to defend herself, but suddenly remembered that if she was searched. I'm afraid that it will be easy to get into trouble. So he took down the hairpin with his hair on his head and grinded it back and forth on the ground. If anything, I don't know whose throat it can be inserted.
There was a little girl crying beside her, Xue Ling had no intention of taking care of it, and heard a crisp slap, and then an unbearable insult. My heart was on fire, so I stood up and walked over, and found that it was a little girl of seven or eight years old, holding on to a bag and not knowing anything. I was slapped several times by another homeless man and didn't let go.
Rao is Xue Ling is now too busy to take care of himself, but he still can't help but pull the little girl behind him. Staring at the homeless man asked, "What are you hitting her for?" ”
The homeless man pointed at Xue Ling: "What, the bitch still wants to be a big head, you call this brother to judge the theory." Who of us doesn't have something to share, this little prostitute eats alone by himself. ”
The little girl cried louder and sobbed and shouted, "This is my steamed bun." This is my steamed bun, which I want to keep for my brother. "She and her brother have only been wandering for two or three days, but she didn't expect her brother to be taken away yesterday and has not come back now.
Xue Ling didn't look back, only took out a little loose silver from his body: "Don't embarrass her, I still have some savings, you can take it." ”
The homeless man's eyes lit up suddenly, but he didn't take over immediately, just staring back and forth at Xue Ling.
Xue Ling threw the silver on the ground: "That's all, don't look at it." He still lay back on a pile of straw in the corner. Fortunately, she didn't pick the environment when she was a child, and lay all over the ground, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to stay at this moment.
I don't know what it will be like tonight, Xue Ling was thinking about it, and someone pulled the corner of her clothes. She just saw the little girl who had just been beaten kneeling beside her. Seeing Xue Ling looking at her, he trembled and opened the cloth pocket and picked up a steamed bun. Timidly asked, "Sister does you want to eat?" ”
Xue Ling glanced at the slap marks on the little girl's face, and then looked at the steamed bun she was holding, I don't know how many days it has been placed, there are already moldy spots, and then look at the cloth pocket, there is no good one at all. Some were still stained with mud after a few bites, and some should have been fished out of a swill bucket with meat from vegetable powder. Most of them have green mold.
The little girl saw that Xue Ling didn't answer, so she lowered her head: "This, it's not bad yet." When my brother comes back, he can still eat. ”
Xue Ling didn't answer, she turned around by herself, obviously Lu Wen'an was not there, but she clearly felt that Lu Wen'an patted her on the head, "What do you know about this cub, people are very hungry, and the grass roots are dug up and eaten." ”
