Chapter 55: Deadend

Li Ran felt that the frequency of Ma Yue's jumping had increased, and he should have left the road and entered the woods.

Every time the horse's hooves landed, it was the sound of stepping on fallen leaves and breaking dead branches, and the bounced dead branches smashed on the cloth bag above her head from time to time.

The horse rushed across a small river, perhaps a mountain stream, and the water splashed up, wetting the cloth bag, as well as Li Ran's head, face, and feet.

This time, the time for changing horses was about half an hour earlier than the last one.

Li Ran was still tossed and thrown onto another horse.

It was already late at night, and Li Ran's cloak was put into the cloth bag, and she didn't know where to throw it, at this time her hair was soaked, and her boots were filled with water, although the thin cloth bag was strong, it couldn't block the cold wind, and Li Ran shivered coldly.

Probably feeling her chills, the horse was strangled a little slowly, Li Ran was slightly lifted the cloth bag, and the cloth bag was wrapped in a fur cloak.

Li Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she could wrap this cloak in her, and for a while, at least she would have no worries about her life.

It was very quiet, the sound of branches and fallen leaves was gone, the sound of the horses' hooves was no longer loud, the sound of hitting the ground was heavy and muffled, and the horses' hooves were wrapped in cotton, and they began to hide their tracks as much as possible.

It seemed that the process of going around and shaking off the pursuers was over, and they began to go where they were going.

Li Ran bit the tip of her tongue and remained awake enough.

This time, when the horsepower was exhausted, Li Ran was thrown into a car.

Someone untied the cloth bag, pushed the cloth bag, and shook Li Ran out.

"Ugh!"

The one who shook out Li Ran was a very kind-faced mother-in-law, staring at Li Ran's vomit all over her face and head, and she almost vomited with a disgusting sigh.

Li Ran sat up slowly, with her back against the carriage, looking at her mother-in-law.

"I've wronged the girl, I'll let them pick up the water, and the girl will wipe it." The mother-in-law leaned back even more, leaning closer against the carriage board than Li Ran.

It's not because I'm afraid of Li Ran, but the place where Li Ran was shaken out just now is full of vomit that is so dirty that I can't see it, which is really disgusting.

The mother-in-law knocked on the car window hard, the window was opened from the outside, the mother-in-law stuck her head out, didn't know what to say, retracted her head, looked at Li Ran and said with a smile: "Girl, bear with it, let's find a place to let the girl bathe and wash." ”

Li Ran didn't speak, didn't move, looked at her mother-in-law quietly under the light of a bean in the carriage, and when the mother-in-law finished speaking, she lowered her eyelids.

When the window was opened, she saw a few rays of morning light, and it should be before six o'clock in the morning. Well, her estimate of the time on the horse doesn't make much difference.

Those rays of morning light gave her a feeling that it was the east, and the car was either going north or south, not north, it should be south.

In the direction of Jinghu?

The car ran for nearly an hour and stopped.

The car door opened, the mother-in-law jumped out of the car first, stretched out her hand to help Li Ran, her hand reached halfway, but she hesitated, what this girl was on was really disgusting.

Li Ran didn't use her help, slowly moved to the door of the car, and slowly got out of the car.

The car door was facing a door, and the distance between the car door and the door was only one or two feet, and there were tall and black barriers on both sides, and there were only her and her mother-in-law in the barrier.

Li Ran lowered her eyelids and went straight into the house.

There are all kinds of hot water in the house, bathing buckets, bathing beans, handkerchiefs, etc., and there are burning red and prosperous charcoal basins in the four corners, and there are many charcoal basins, and the charcoal fire is prosperous, so that the house is warm and stuffy and hot.

Li Ran took off her clothes, first scooped water to wash her hair, and then scooped water to rinse her body, and then stepped into the bucket.

This night, she was too cold, so she had to soak in it to drive away the cold.

She doesn't want to die, so at this time, it's best not to fall ill, fortunately, she is much stronger now than when she first entered the capital.

After soaking for a while, Li Ran reached out and took a bath bean from the bath bean box next to her, put it in water and soaked it for a while, pinched it hard, sniffed it carefully, and looked at it carefully.

This is the best bath bean in Ruxiangtang, which used to be a time-honored brand in Rong'an City, and now it is the most popular rouge gouache shop in Beijing.

Li Ran soaked in sweat, slowly washed her hands and face with bath beans, came out of the bucket, scooped water again, washed it all over, dried her body, and the mother-in-law who had been standing next to her hurriedly carried her clothes and sent them up.

It stands to reason that she should wait for the girl to take a bath, but at first she was too disgusting to watch, and when Li Ran began to undress, that calmness, and from the scooping of water to the head, step by step, made her feel like she couldn't interfere. In addition, the indifference revealed by Li Ran's body, the rejection of people thousands of miles away, and the bloodline made her have countless cowardices.

Li Ran put on her clothes, bent down and hung her head, wiping the water from her hair with a handkerchief.

When it was almost done, Li Ran then put on all her clothes and looked at her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law was so flustered by her that she looked at her, "What if the girl is ...... We still have to hurry. ”

Li Ran raised her feet and walked towards the closed door.

The mother-in-law reacted, took a step forward, and slammed on the door and shouted, "The girl is okay." ”

The door was pushed open from the outside, the door was still facing the car door, or the two obstacles, Li Ran didn't squint and went straight to the car.

The bedding in the car has been replaced.

The mother-in-law hurriedly followed the car, the door slammed shut from the outside, and almost at the same time, the car rushed forward.

After closing the door, the car was dark, and the five fingers were missing.

Li Ran moved and lay down with his back against the side of the carriage.

In the car, she can feel too little information, alas, what is the use of more information she feels? Outside the carriage, no matter which side they had, they knew too much more than her, so she had better rest for a while, recuperate her spirits, and not fall ill.

When the mother-in-law touched the fire sickle, lit the fire and lit the lamp, Li Ran was already curled up, closed her eyes, breathed a long time, and she fell asleep.

The mother-in-law looked at it for a moment, then took a silk quilt and carefully covered Li Ran on her body.

It was dark and dayless in the carriage, and Li Ran relied on her own incomparably regular biological clock, as well as stopping twice a day to eat and go out to gong, counting day after day......

She was put on horseback and ran all night, in this tight carriage, day and night non-stop running for three days and two nights, the middle carriage was lifted up, changed three times, I don't know whether the wheels were broken, or the car was changed to hide people's eyes.

Every time Li Ran counts a day, her heart sinks a little, the farther she is from the capital, the smaller the chance of surviving and returning to the capital alive.

The emperor threw her out as live bait, but he didn't need it, and he didn't care if she could take it back.

In a sense, if her bait is swallowed, or dies in the process of being bitten and left, that is the best result, in this way, the new dynasty has countless room to play, which is the most beneficial to the new dynasty and the emperor.

As for the other side, she has no interest in whether it is the restoration of the country, or the founding of the country, and similar great achievements.

The bloodline in her body is even more simple and clear: the real respect and obedience to this bloodline is to follow the will of Renzong, either die as a member of the Lu family, or, obey the heavens and live well, but with an identity that has nothing to do with the Lu family.

Although she really wants to live, she will not be able to do everything in order to live, such as playing a regent who pretends to have a family hatred for the country.

If she can't cooperate with them, it's better to die than to live.

Alas, for both sides, her death was more valuable than her life.

The difference is only in whose hands she died.

The emperor of the new dynasty definitely wants her to die at the hands of the other side. On the other hand, I definitely want to detain her killing to the head of the new dynasty and the emperor.

Both sides want her to die, and both want her to die at the hands of the other, or, it seems, to die at the hands of the other.

In between, there is a glimmer of life.

Li Ran lay quietly in the bumpy carriage, closed her eyes, thinking about her situation little by little, carefully observing the surroundings between getting on and off the train, and counting the time hour by hour.

Another day and night passed, and at nightfall, the car entered the mountains and forests.

After that, the car runs faster and faster, and the road is very poor, or there is no road at all.

Li Ran clinged to the carriage board, her ears on the pillow, listening to the dense and slight sound of the wheels pressing against the dead branches, the branches kept cutting and breaking from the carriage, those subtle but piercing sounds.

According to the speed of the car, the car is not too bumpy, because the leaves are very thick in the places it passes.

When she got off the bus a few times, she was roughly sure that they had taken her to the south and west, in the direction of Jinghu.

On the night she left outside Jin Mingchi, she was thrown three times and changed horses four times, the horse was extremely fast, the horse could only run about a hundred kilometers at that speed, that night, it should have been 400 kilometers, but that night, she should have made a lot of detours to get rid of the trackers behind, and she couldn't calculate how many roads she had walked.

The carriages were slightly slower during the day, and they had to be about the same speed as the carriages on the road to not be noticeable. The night is much faster than the day, so that the journey is day and night, one day and one night, three hundred to five hundred kilometers.

At this point, she should soon enter the northern part of Jinghu North Road.

It was a place where the army of the new dynasty had not yet arrived, and it had not yet been incorporated into the territory of the new dynasty.

The carriage weighed down the thick fallen leaves and dead branches, and ran wildly all night.

When it was getting dark, Li Ran sat up and squinted at the car window that had been removed at some point.

It seems that they have reached a place where they feel safe.

I don't know where her destination is or how far away.

When the sun was shining, the car didn't stop to eat as usual, Li Ran sat up again, and it seemed that he was almost at the place.

After walking for another half hour, the shadows of the trees outside the car window swayed, slowed down, and stopped.

The car door opened, and the mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, jumped down first, and reached out to help Li Ran.

Li Ran ignored her, moved over, sat at the door of the carriage, and looked around first.

There are high and black barriers all around, and there are still only her and her mother-in-law in the barriers.

Li Ran got out of the car, followed the barrier, and entered the three upper rooms.

In the upper door, there were two seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls standing on the left and right, looking nervous, wanting to see her but not daring to look at her.

Li Ran ignored the two of them, stood in the middle of the room, and slowly turned around to look around.

In the outer room, there are two chairs next to each other, two rows of chairs on both sides, and on the left is the bedroom, the bed is very simple, only four pillars are erected, and a thick curtain is hung, and under the window of the bed, there is a low couch. On the right is the study, a table and a chair.

Li Ran walked straight to the bed, lifted the quilt and fell asleep.

She hadn't slept much that night, she hadn't slept well for days, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

The people and things that are coming soon, whatever they are, must be dealt with with all their attention, she must have enough energy, she must sleep for a while.

The mother-in-law watched Li Ran enter the house, let out a long breath, and turned around to lift the barrier.

This is a large but simple Zhuangzi, and when the mother-in-law came out of the barricade, she saw the person she was looking for, a thin man about sixty years old with an excellent bearing.

"Mr. Huang, take it back, Shun Shun dang." The mother-in-law was a little happy.

Mr. Huang waved his hand at his mother-in-law, turned around and walked far away, before he stopped and asked, "Did she ask anything?" What do you say? ”

"I didn't ask, the girl didn't say a word."

I can't say why, the mother-in-law didn't say a word when she said that Li Ran didn't say a word, and all that came up in her heart was embarrassment and embarrassment, she always felt that the girl didn't say a word, it was all contempt and disdain for her.

Mr. Huang looked a little surprised, for a moment, with a little relief, sighed, legend has it that she often does not say a word for several days, it seems to be true.

The first emperor didn't talk much, and the nobles were late.

"Thank you for your hard work, go and rest."

Mr. Huang slowly instructed his mother-in-law, watched her go away, and then instructed: "Send the message to the past, I received the girl, the girl is safe." Look where Dr. Du is, urge him, and as soon as Dr. Du arrives, he will take him to check the girl's pulse. How's the girl doing now? ”

"I just handed the word out, saying that I went into the house and fell asleep directly, saying yes, it seems to have fallen asleep in the blink of an eye."

The long man who replied couldn't say anything on his face, he had just experienced a few days of life and death, and when he arrived in a completely unfamiliar place, he didn't know anything, so he fell asleep directly and fell asleep immediately.

This is the first time he has seen such a person.

Mr. Huang's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and a few traces of joy welled up in his heart.

This girl, I'm afraid, knows better and is better than he thinks.

Alas, it's a pity it's a girl.
