Zhou Yunxi took Zhou Yunyao out of the village late at night, and they took advantage of the night to leave, relying on torches and moonlight to illuminate the road, stumbling all the way to the town.

Because this place is under the jurisdiction of the Hou Mansion, the security is exceptionally good. This small town has built a wall outside, and it looks particularly tall and cold at night.

Such a town is no different from the cities in other places, and it is no wonder that Zhou Yunxi said to enter the city at that time, instead of going to the town.

With the memory of Zhou Yunxi's predecessor, Zhou Yunxi is not too unfamiliar with this place.

"Is there anyone else at this late hour?" The guards guarding the gate slowly groped down, stared at Zhou Yunxi and Zhou Yunyao for a long time, and pondered for a while before saying, "Do you have a letter and household registration to prove your identity?" ”

"Here."

Zhou Yunxi thought that these guards were not easy to speak, after all, the sesame official was also an official, and he was a powerful person, Zhou Yunxi had seen a lot of them in modern times, and in ancient times, he felt that there would be more.

However, the performance of this guard surprised Zhou Yunxi.

"Well...... No problem, let's go inside. ”

The guard brought a box, opened it and wiped something on Zhou Yunxi's household registration with his fingers, and then spit out such a sentence.

"Look at you, are you ready to settle down in town?" The guard was a little sleepy-eyed, "It's not easy for the two girls to make a living these days, why do you have to leave your hometown?" ”

"When the locusts cross the border, there is no grain harvest at home, so they can only survive on the food left behind before." Zhou Yunxi sighed lightly, "I was beaten by my uncle and aunt for food and almost died, I really had no choice, so I sold the land in the middle of the field and wanted to come to the town to make a living." ”

"Don't seek to be rich and rich, at least let my sister grow up safely, and lest she end up like me......"

Zhou Yunxi said with tears in the corners of her eyes, looking pitiful at the beginning. Wearing tattered clothes also made the guards feel some sympathy.

The injuries on Zhou Yunxi and Zhou Yunyao's bodies can be seen at a glance by those who are soldiers, especially the terrible wound on the back of Zhou Yunxi's head, it is impossible to accidentally fall!

As for Zhou Yunyao, judging from the fact that she clenched Zhou Yunxi's hand so timidly and hid behind Zhou Yunxi, she must have trusted Zhou Yunxi very much.

In addition, the note was also placed in the household register, and Zhou Yunxi's words were believed by the guards for nine points, and there was one point, because they felt that they were afraid that they would not be able to live well in the town.

At most, I can save my life.

"Let's go in, the fifth alley in front is a temporary inn, you two little girls, with such a big bag of food, go to the fifth inn." The guard paused as he spoke, and then continued: "If they want to collect some food, give it to them, and you two little girls can not go to the other inns." ”

"Why can't you go?"

Zhou Yunyao poked her head out at this time, her eyes were shining, and she could see that the guard's heart was soft again.

"It's not a good place for a girl." The guard said and looked at Zhou Yunxi, "If you want to be safe tonight, go to the place I said, believe it or not, it's up to you." ”

After that, the guard waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to hurry into the town, not wanting to say anything more.

Zhou Yunxi kept the guard's words firmly in her heart, although the words were not obvious, but Zhou Yunxi was not the real 'Zhou Yunxi' after all, and she also understood the hidden meaning of these words.

- Those inns, I'm afraid they say they are inns, but they are actually kilns.

"Sister, shall we stay here in the future?"

Zhou Yunyao watched the lights shoot out from every house, and her eyes lit up.

At this time in the village, almost every household has turned off their lights to sleep, and only a few households have not turned off their lights. Such a brightly lit scene, Zhou Yunyao was still ignorant and had never seen it once.

"When my sister finds a merchant to buy our rice, let's find a safer place in the town to buy a house, and the two of us will live!"

Zhou Yunxi loved Zhou Yunyao very much, and seeing that there were still some bruises and purple traces on Zhou Yunyao's face, he felt more and more distressed in his heart. That Wang and Zhou Quan are really not people, they have such a heavy poison on a child, they deserve to have no children and no queen!

Yes, Zhou Quan and the Wang family have no descendants, and they don't know if they have done too much on weekdays or how, but the master in the village said that these two people will not have descendants in their lifetime.

"Can't you get in? If you don't come in, I'll close the shop. ”

The inn that the guard said would arrive soon, and looking at the dilapidated inn in front of him, Zhou Yunxi hesitated a little. Is such a place really the safest?

Zhou Yunxi had a lot of doubts in her heart, but the eyes of the shopkeepers and the boss of the other inns made her extremely uncomfortable, so Zhou Yunxi took her sister into the inn.

As Zhou Yunxi's body disappeared into the inn, the people in the other stores sneered lightly, closed the doors one by one, and didn't look outside.

"You have the vision, and you didn't go to those places." The shopkeeper crackled the abacus placed on the counter, and didn't raise his eyelids, "One or two silver lives alone for half a month, eats and drinks by himself, if you need to provide food, add one or two, if you want to eat better, add three taels, only live one night, one person hangs money." If there is no silver......"

"This is ten taels of silver, bother the little brother to help our sister find a better room."

As soon as Zhou Yunxi heard this, he spoke directly without the slightest hesitation.

It was rare for Xiao Er to meet such a crisp girl, and he immediately looked up at Zhou Yunxi and Zhou Yunyao. Seeing that there were patches on the clothes of the two, their eyes were a little more probing.

"The two of you don't look like rich people, I was going to collect some of the food you brought as a mortgage for the time being, but I didn't expect the girl to be so arrogant and take out ten taels directly?"

These words made Zhou Yunxi choke suddenly, and secretly said in his heart that he was too impulsive.

As the saying goes, wealth is not exposed, although she is not short of money, but if someone sees her eyes and takes out ten taels of silver without blinking, it will inevitably ......

"Worried about what? I don't think I've looked down on the ten taels of silver. Xiao Er sneered and took Zhou Yunxi's expression in his eyes, "Come with me, since you are so simple, the best room in our inn will be given to your sisters." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yunxi's eyes flashed with joy.

The words and expressions of the shopkeeper did not seem to be fake, and the disdain and scorn in his eyes were also real. Zhou Yunxi thought about it, and suddenly realized that the owner of this inn was afraid that he would not be an ordinary person.

If it weren't for that, the shopkeeper would never behave like this!

"If you want to continue to live after half a month, you can come to me again to renew the lease." Xiao Er said softly when he retreated to the door, "Of course, during this time, we will do our best to protect your safety. ”
