Chapter 346: A Way to Go Back

After eating the sweet potato, she asked, "Have you figured out a way to go back?" ”

"We need to make up as farmers." He said.

"This is natural." She replied.

But just like this, it must not necessarily deceive those soldiers.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard him say, "And then I will borrow an old man." ”

"Borrow an old man? Where to borrow? ”

"There's an old woman in the third courtyard just west of this courtyard."

It turned out that he had just gone out not only to look for sweet potatoes in the field, but also to check on the people living in the village.

"You mean, let the old woman go with us to the Cold Mountain?"

"Yes."

She nodded and said, "This method works." We can walk with her, let others think that we are her son and daughter-in-law, and take her out on this cold day, to take her to see a doctor. ”

She'd guessed his plan and told it all.

"Yes." He said.

"Now let's play the farmer." She said,

Yesterday's sleeping place was a side room, and there was a wardrobe against the west wall, and there should be clothes in the wardrobe.

After entering the side room through the window, they actually found clothes in the wardrobe inside.

It is dominated by women's clothes, and there are only a few men's clothes per quarter.

After a while, the two of them became farmers.

And in order to dress up like this, she took off the ornament on her head and put it in her sleeve, while he found at the bottom of the wardrobe a kind of handkerchief that a peasant used to wear, and put it on his head.

After the two of them finished dressing up, she looked at him and said, "You still look too much like a noble son, you have to blacken your face." Of course, I'll have to blacken my face a bit. ”

Where is the farmer who is exposed to the wind and the sun every day, where does he have such a white face?

"Why don't we put some mud on our faces. Oh, and by the way, I'll also do some disguise that might make the two of us look a little different. ”

"Do you know how to disguise?"

"A little bit." She said.

In the Pingkang Palace, because of boredom, she once played with two maids with different makeup, she tried to put on old woman makeup, maid makeup, peasant woman makeup, and also tried men's makeup, she understood that sometimes painting the face with different colors of pastel will make a person look very different, just like the difference between a person with a plain face and good makeup.

"Good. That's up to you. He said.

"Let's go to the courtyard, there's water." She said.

In the courtyard, she first put on a farmer's makeup for him, because there was no powder or anything like that, so she put some water on the yellow mud on the ground to wet it, and then used the wet mud to first make his face yellow, and then used a little more yellow mud to outline a different outline from his original eye contour.

When she was done, she looked at his face and said, "Almost." It's kind of like. ”

Then she put on her own makeup, and since there were no mirrors in the courtyard, she went to the side room to make up, because there was a bronze mirror there. In a short time, it melted.

She looked at herself in the mirror, a peasant woman who looked like a yellow bula.

After she came out of the window of the side room, the two of them walked together along the village road to the third courtyard to the west.

When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she knocked on the door, and soon after, an old woman in a gray-brown cotton jacket came to open the door, and when she opened the door, the snow fell above the door, indicating that she had not opened the door for several days.

Looking at the courtyard again, only the snow between the house and the main house has been removed, and the rest of the place is covered with thick snow.

From the room to the courtyard gate, there is a line of footprints. That's what she left when she walked over just now.

When the old woman opened the door, she saw two strangers standing outside the door, and she was a little puzzled and asked, "What is the matter with you two knocking on the door?" ”

"Old woman, we want to ask you for a favor." Zhou Jing said.

"What did you say, girl?" The old woman raised her eyes to look at Zhou Jing and asked.

"That's right, this man and I were beaten by my father, he will send someone to find me later, get me and him home, and then I have to be separated from him, please help play our mother, we will pull the cart to take you to the doctor."

The old woman leaned over and glanced up at Zhou Jing again, "What did you say?" ”

She asked twice in a row what did you say, which made Zhou Jing a little puzzled, and in an instant she understood, she should be deaf now.

She looked at Zheng Hangsu and said, "What should I do now?" She couldn't hear me clearly. ”

You can't force her away.

"You try it louder."

So Zhou Jing approached the old woman and whispered into her ear, "Old woman, we came to ask you for a favor." The man behind me and I was beaten by my father, and my father was sending people everywhere to find me, trying to get me and him home, and then I had to be separated from him, so we wanted to ask you to help us play our mother, help us escape, because you have inconvenient legs, we will pull the cart and take you to walk, of course, we are going to take you to the doctor. ”

When she had finished speaking, she was worried that the old woman had not heard, and asked, "Did you hear it, old woman?" ”

Then the old woman said, "Your father has gone too far. Okay, I've got you covered. ”

Zhou Jing said loudly into the old woman's ear again: "Thank you, do you have a board car at home?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes. It's in the yard, that's what I used before, and now I'm old and can't push it, you two go over and take a look, can the board still work? ”

Zhou Jing then glanced at the courtyard, and saw that there was a board car on the east wall in the courtyard, the car did look useless for some years, although it was covered with snow, but it could also be seen that there were some weeds growing on it, because some of the longer weeds exposed the snow surface. Of course, it's winter, and those weeds have withered.

"I'll go take a look." She said.

Zheng Hangsu said: "I'll go." ”

Instead of arguing with him, she watched his back and approached the cart.

He first pushed the cart and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, and then he began to clear the snow and weeds from the cart.

After cleaning up the snow and weeds on the cart, he glanced at Zhou Jing who was with the old woman at the gate of the courtyard, and said, "Sister Jing, you tell the old woman that it is cold today, and she will definitely freeze when she sits on the cart, and she needs to wrap a quilt to protect herself from the cold." ”

Zhou Jingxin said, he was still very careful, he could think of this, but he didn't think about it at all, so she put her mouth at the old woman's ear again, and said loudly: "Old woman, it's cold today, you will definitely freeze when you sit on the board car, you need to wrap a quilt to protect from the cold, where is your quilt?" I'll get it. ”

The old woman pointed to the east side of the main house to the north and said, "It's the one on the east side of the house, you have seen it in the past." ”

Zhou Jing then stepped on the snow in the courtyard and walked to the main house, to the main house, she turned east, and then arrived in the east room, and saw that it was a bedroom, although it was simple, but it was cleaned up, there was a bed on the north side, and there was an old but clean quilt embroidered with plum blossoms on the bed, she picked up the quilt and walked out.

When she arrived at the board car where Zheng Hangsu was standing in the courtyard, she put the quilt on the board car.

"Let's go." She said.

Zheng Hangsu then pushed the cart to the gate of the courtyard, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the old woman got on the cart and wrapped the quilt tightly.

Out of the village, she said to Zheng Hangsu: "It seems that you can only go south?" ”

"Yes." He replied.

To the north, the road to Hanshan was only narrow, so it was inconvenient to push the cart, and because she had been stabbed on that road before, she didn't want to go back to the old road.

There is a town to the south, turn west on the town, and then follow the road west of the town until the west, and there is a big mountain road that can turn east.

Although it is a long way, at least it is more convenient to reach Hanshan.

But it's just more convenient, and it's still unknown whether you can reach Hanshan safely next.
