Chapter 13 Seeking

The harsh environment inspired Zhang Wenyi's original espionage skills, and although her skills had deteriorated a lot after more than a year of negligent training, these deteriorations were quickly recovered in the daily march.

"Zheng Ye" only found her first camp on the sixth day after Zhang Wenyi left, and he did not relax his tracking of Zhang Wenyi after inviting "Fifth Master" to go to Hekou Town to block people. For several days, he sent people to search for Zhang Wenyi's traces along both sides of the woods, centered on the shantytown, but Zhang Wenyi seemed to have disappeared from the air.

For five days in a row, the "Fifth Master" did not find any trace of the Wen family or anyone similar to the Nine Girls in Hekou Town, and he informed the "Zheng Ye" of the situation on his side with some uncertainty.

"Zheng Ye" was shocked when he heard this, and he led people into the woods again to investigate. If it weren't for the hungry wild boar arching out the bones left over from Zhang Wenyi's eating, I'm afraid that "Zheng Ye" would never have found any trace of her in his life. Judging from the excavated flue and buried fire, this is an extremely experienced person. But a rabbit eats two meals, and the amount of food does not look like the amount of an adult's meal, is it only a teenager? Since there were no residues of dry food, "Zheng Ye" could not judge the number of people in this line.

With the direction of the investigation, "Zheng Ye" quickly learned that there was a loss of property in the village and large households. According to the distance from "Zheng Ye", it is estimated that Zhang Wenyi's speed is not very fast, and it is not even up to the half-day journey of a normal adult. This made Zheng Ye wonder: Could it be that the ninth girl was really among them? Or is it deliberately revealing their whereabouts to mislead them?

On the tenth day, "Zheng Ye" suddenly lost track of Zhang Wenyi, and he immediately thought that the target might have changed the direction of travel. So "Zheng Ye" returned to the ninth day and sent people to the north to investigate, there is a road to Pengcheng, which is the easiest way to Chang'an.

However, he could no longer find any trace of the man, as if he had evaporated in the air. There was also no news in the direction of Hekou Town, and even the eyeliner arranged by "Zheng Ye" and "Wu Ye" at other ferry crossings for the sake of insurance did not notice anything.

At this moment, "Zheng Ye" was confused, Chuzhou was surrounded by water, and if he wanted to go to other places, he had to cross the river, and the other party had no way to guide and did not cross the river, did they stay in Chuzhou? Although darkness under the light is a good way for many Jianghu people to avoid pursuit, "Zheng Ye" has made sufficient preparations for this. As long as the other party dared to stay near Chuzhou, he was sure that he would find out the whereabouts of these people in the shortest possible time.

It's winter, and most people are afraid that they will freeze to death in the river if they swim across. Some sections of the river are frozen, but many of the ice areas there cannot even bear the weight of children, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the ice holes, and the consequences will be lifeless. Did these people drown in the river by accident?

"Zheng Ye" only thought about half of it, what he didn't expect was that Zhang Wenyi was only one person, and he was still a child. The harsh environment made her quickly lose weight, and although the weight of the frozen ice was not enough to support the standing child at night, Zhang Wenyi crawled past.

When "Zheng Ye" was still searching for Zhang Wenyi's traces in Chuzhou, she had already left the territory of Chuzhou safely.

Zhang Wenyi walks through the paths or villages near the official road, so as not to get too far away from the official road and get lost, and at the same time, he can also avoid some checkpoints. Occasionally passing by the market town to buy some dry food to carry, the stolen money was quickly used up, but Zhang Wenyi had already figured out a way to make money.

She often embroidered some handkerchiefs with stolen silk cloth when she was resting, but the patterns on them were not ordinary flowers, birds, fish and insects, but modern Q version cartoon characters. The lethality of this cute embroidered image to girls is very huge, both ancient and modern. At the beginning, Zhang Wenyi only tried to embroider two, but he didn't expect it to be extremely popular, and both handkerchiefs were purchased at a high price of 200 Wen.

On this day, Zhang Wenyi was buying embroidered handkerchiefs at a market less than twenty miles away from Pengcheng, although the passers-by on the road looked at her as a man selling women's goods in a strange light, but these Zhang Wenyi were used to it. She didn't dare to shout loudly due to her identity, but life always had to pass.

In the afternoon, a girl finally patronized her embroidered handkerchief, but Zhang Wenyi's bid was too high, and the girl shook her head and sighed and left. By the time the stall closed in the evening, several girls were in the same situation. This surprised Zhang Wenyi, how did he get to the vicinity of a big city, and why did his purchasing power get worse and worse?

I was thinking about reducing the price and quickly selling the handkerchief in my hand, when a girl dressed as a maid came over. Zhang Wenyi just felt that this girl was familiar, but for a while she couldn't remember where she had seen it. She didn't have the heart to continue to explore, so she quickly disposed of the goods in her hand.

The girl glanced at the handkerchief, then at Zhang Wenyi carefully, and said with a smile: "Is this son selling a handkerchief for Sister Ling?" ”

Zhang Wenyi was taken aback, because why she used the excuse that a man wanted to sell women's goods, and others would never say it without asking her.

"Exposed!" Zhang Wenyi instantly became vigilant, she hurriedly packed up her veil, and said calmly: "It's not early, if you don't buy this girl, I'll close the stall and go home." ”

The maid smiled and said, "It's almost more than 200 miles from here to Guxian, how did you come to your little girl's house?" ”

Zhang Wenyi was really a little panicked now, from Chuzhou to here, the identity of her daughter's family was discovered for the first time. She reached into her bag and gently grasped the pistol. said softly: "This sister, I don't steal or rob, I eat with my own embroidery, please let my sister let me go." ”

The maid chuckled and said, "Sure enough, it's a woman." Let's go, my girl wants to see you. ”

Zhang Wenyi heard that the other party was also a woman, and her heart was a little relieved. After all, girls are better to deal with than vicious men. She pretended to be helpless and said, "Okay, you lead the way." ”

Walking around and around to an oil-walled car, the maid said, "Girl, I brought back the handkerchief seller, and it was really a woman." ”

Zhang Wenyi lowered her head and said softly: "This girl, the little woman has no choice but to do this kind of thing, and I also ask the girl to let the little woman live for the sake of her daughter's family." ”

The person in the car chuckled lightly and said, "This little lady doesn't need to panic, I'm just surprised that you were able to walk from Guxian to Pengcheng alone at a young age, if you didn't encounter something difficult, you wouldn't have done this." You and I are daughters, if you have anything inconvenient to say, if you can help, I will definitely help. ”

Hearing her say this, Zhang Wenyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. After thinking about it, the things that happened in my family must not be told the truth, and if you fabricate facts to win sympathy, it is nothing more than the joke of escaping from marriage. So he said: "I can't hide it, it's just because my stepmother wants to marry me to her maternal uncle." This man is not only a prodigal son, but also ruined Nuoda's family property, and he has sold several wives and concubines to pay off debts. The little woman was unwilling, so she took advantage of the unpreparedness at home to escape. ”

None of the girls present listened to Zhang Wenyi's narration without being shocked and angry, marrying her daughter to her maiden uncle was already extremely incestuous and absurd, and her maiden uncle was so slippery and unscrupulous, it was simply pushing the girl into the fire pit.

The girl in the car sighed and said, "So where do you want to go now?" ”

Zhang Wenyi hesitated for a moment and said, "My sister is married in Chang'an, and I want to go to her." ”

The girl smacked her tongue secretly when she heard this, she had traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an, if she didn't dare to do such a thing. She said: "It's a long way to Chang'an, and a lonely young girl is only afraid of danger. If you are willing, you may as well stay at my house now, and after I have discussed it with my mother, I will think of a safe way to reunite you with my sister in peace. ”

Zhang Wenyi hesitated for a long time before she was blessed, she heard that the woman in the car was not very old, about the age of a teenager, so she said: "Thank you sister for your kindness, if there is a chance, the little woman will be rewarded." ”

The girl in the car smiled: "I don't want you to have anything in return, as long as you can find your sister safely and have a good home, it will be the best return." ”

After speaking, the curtain of the car was lifted to reveal a face as bright as a peach blossom from the inside. I saw that the girl's water-like eyes were crystal clear, and she looked at Zhang Wenyi softly. Only a girl with an extremely innocent and kind heart can have such eyes and such a look, Zhang Wenyi really put her mind at ease at the moment, saw the girl beckoning to her, said thank you and pedaled.

After getting into the car, the two sides reported their homes. The girl's surname was changed to Yun'er, and Zhang Wenyi naturally reported the name of her previous life.

After the greetings, Zhang Wenyi also expressed her doubts: "I don't know how my sister recognized me?" ”

The girl smiled and said, "I bought your handkerchief in Guxian, which is more than two hundred miles away from Guxian. If it is reasonable to say that a man goes out to walk 200 miles, it is reasonable to say that your sister can't follow you for 200 miles. You're not that old, so your sister will only be even younger. There is only one possibility, that is, you were originally a daughter. ”

Zhang Wenyi hurriedly praised her without a trace: "Sister Lan Xinhui actually thought so deeply, the little sister was really negligent." ”

Yi Yun'er was overjoyed by her words, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for your ingenuity to embroider this handkerchief so cutely, I might not have paid attention to you." ”

Zhang Wenyi hurriedly humbled and said: "My little sister's skills are limited, so I have to put some thought into the composition, and my little skills in carving insects should not be praised by my sister." ”

Zhang Wenyi is not completely modest in this sentence, she has only been in this life for more than a year, even if she has the ability to understand in her previous life, but this female celebrity can not become a top master just by relying on understanding. You have to have talent and hard work, and it takes time to become the best. Other girls have been in contact with these since they were three or four years old, and at her age, they have three years of skills, and there are several sisters in the Wen family who are not very old, and Zhang Wenyi is ashamed of herself in this embroidery.

Yi Yuner doesn't see it that way, she thinks that as long as the embroidery is good or bad, as long as it takes effort, there will always be a better day, but this composition innovation can't be learned. She smiled coquettishly: "My sister doesn't need to be presumptuous, but my sister can't think of such a composition." ”
