Chapter Twenty-Six: Into the City
When Mu Lan reappeared in the ancestral hall, it was already the middle of the night, and she was not afraid of the strange atmosphere of the ancestral hall this time.
It's just that she was tied up and fell to the ground, which really made her very uncomfortable, and just as she slowly moved to try to find a comfortable position for herself, a figure jumped into the courtyard of the ancestral hall.
The man came to Mu Lan's side in a few steps, it was Baizhu who had been waiting for her outside the ancestral hall for a long time but hadn't waited for her to come out.
Baizhu came up three or two times and untied the rope on Mu Lan's body and helped her up.
Mu Lan moved her limbs, she was bound and numb for most of the night.
"Baizhu, why did you get in?"
"Save you!" Baizhu's words are still as concise as ever.
"Then go quickly, those bad old men are very bad, they will tie people up if they don't agree with each other, and the old lady will not be guilty of this crime!"
Mu Lan urged Baizhu, but Baizhu was obviously shocked by her words, and those cold eyes were full of surprise.
Mu Lan had already taken off her waistcoat in front of Baizhu, and she didn't care that her true nature was exposed at this time, she just wanted to leave this gloomy ancestral hall as soon as possible.
She always felt like she was being stared at by countless eyes, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Baizhu jumped into the courtyard, at this time he took Mu Lan to the courtyard wall, Mu Lan looked at the high courtyard wall, and felt that with her small body, she couldn't go up, so she could only look at Baizhu.
Baizhu didn't disappoint her, jumped up with her arm, and stood on the wall, making her feel like Baizhu was flying with her.
Mu Lan should be glad that the two guards guarding her were going to the patriarch to report her disappearance at this time, otherwise she and Bai Zhu would not have left the ancestral hall so easily without alarming people.
When the two of them jumped off the wall, Mu Lan unexpectedly saw the little girl Bai Su.
Bai Su was sitting on an ox cart, and when he saw them coming out, he quickly jumped out of the cart and whispered, "Mu Lan, Brother Bai Shu, you guys are coming out, get in the car quickly!" ”
"Bai Su, why are you here, where did this oxcart come from?"
Mu Lan was very surprised to see Bai Su at this time, is she here to save her again?
"I stole the ox cart from my family, Mu Lan, leave the village quickly, go into the city now, hurry up, the patriarch will organize people to chase you in a while."
Bai Su urged, his little face full of eagerness.
Mu Lan was very grateful that this little girl could do this for her, and she got into the ox cart without saying much, and Baizhu also jumped on the cart.
"Bai Su, go back quickly, don't be found out by your family!"
"Uh-huh, Mu Lan, then you should go too!" Bai Su nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you!" Baizhu thanked Bai Su.
The little girl Bai Su blushed suddenly and lowered her head, making Mu Lan feel the innocence of this girl.
The ox cart slowly drove out of the small mountain village, and soon after they left, the small mountain village began to be noisy again, and the torches were lit one by one, and soon a long line formed on the mountain road.
Baizhu's cart was still very fast, and although it was an ox cart, it was far away from the villagers chasing behind.
It's just that the ox cart is an ox cart after all, and just as Mu Lan was about to reach the city gate, the villagers who were chasing them finally caught up with them and surrounded them.
"Baizhu, Mu Lan, the patriarch has an order, you go back to the village with us!" The middle-aged man led by him walked out, and it was the one who had been cut by Baizhu in the ancestral hall gate.
Bai Zhu had already held his dagger in his hand at this time, and he jumped out of the ox cart and looked at the middle-aged man coldly.
The middle-aged man was also afraid of the momentum of Baizhu, and unconsciously took a step back, the torch in his hand reflected the fear in his eyes, and the villagers surrounding them also slowly retreated.
Mu Lan looked at the middle-aged man and laughed in his heart, it seems that Baizhu is still very imposing in the hearts of the people of Luojia Village.
It's just that Mu Lan still looked at Baizhu worriedly, if Baizhu really did something to them, I'm afraid he will never be able to return to Luojia Village after tonight, this should be Baizhu's unwillingness.
He suffered a lot in order to stay in Luojia Village, but at this time, he had to do it with the people of Luojia Village for her, which made Mu Lan feel that she owed Baizhu again.
Just as both sides were tense, the city gate made a heavy sound and slowly opened.
A team of people and horses walked out of the city gate, Mu Lan looked over, a carriage slowly drove out, and Mu Lan, the driver of the car, was a little familiar.
It was the coachman sent to her by the Du family who sent her back to the village.
The carriage stopped, and two people stepped down from it, it was the second master of the Du family who signed an agreement with her to open a medical hall in partnership with her, and Li Dijin, the young master of Renhetang.
"Hehe, what a coincidence!" Mu Lan smiled happily.
The fan in Du Erye's hand was opened, and he walked towards Mu Lan in a romantic manner.
Li Di Jinjun, who came side by side with him, had a ruffian smile on his face, and a pair of calculating fox eyes looked at Mu Lan with a smile.
Mu Lan's eyelids only jumped when he saw it, these two people are out of the city at this time, shouldn't they be looking for her?
Her eyes fell on the coachman, and she remembered that this person saw the patriarch's posture when she returned to the village, and it was he who went back to report the news, and then the two masters came out to save her in the middle of the night.
With their arrival, the people of Luojia Village, who were besieging Mu Lan and Baizhu, slowly retreated and made way for them.
Does she want to thank these two people for their righteousness, they can knock on the city gate in the middle of the night for her, a little village girl, and take people out of the city to help?
Mu Lan didn't want to admit it, but Li Dijin's words made her have to respond to their kindness.
"Luo Yatou, Young Master Ben and Du Er came to save you, are you moved?"
Li Dijin looked at Mu Lan with a calculating expression, which made her secretly curse in her heart, "Profiteer! ”
She didn't think this guy was going to make a loss-making deal.
"Well, thank you two for your help!" Mu Lan bowed to them.
"It's easy to say, just remember our kindness!" Li Dijin nodded with satisfaction.
Sure enough, this guy is a profiteer and won't make a loss-making deal.
Du Erye waved his hand, and a cadre stepped forward, and the wooden sticks in his hands pointed at the people of Luojia Village.
The people of Luojia Village were immediately stunned, and the middle-aged man led by him glared at Mu Lan and Baizhu angrily, and waved his big hand and shouted, "Let's go!" ”
After saying that, he took the lead in turning around and leaving, and the people of Luojia Village followed, and they came and retreated as fast as they could, and they were far away in the blink of an eye.
Mu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally left, Mu Lan gratefully glanced at Du Erye and Li Dijin, without their appearance, she and Baizhu would really be arrested back to Luojia Village at this time.
"Let's go, take you into town!" Li Dijin smiled and said to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan got into the ox cart again, and the Baizhu cart followed behind the Du family's carriage.
As soon as they entered the city, they saw a different scene from the hustle and bustle of the day, when the street was empty except for their group, and a group of people quickly stopped in front of the gate of Renhetang.
"Luo girl, you will live in the backyard of Renhetang first, how about it?" Li Dijin said with a smile.
"Good!" Mu Lan nodded.
What else could she say, she should be grateful to have a place to stay, where else could she choose?
