Chapter 16 Departure

After Xiao Heng asked, he turned around and went back to the house. To his surprise, Shen Muyao didn't ask him anything, didn't cry or make trouble, just sat in front of the window and distributed herbs as if nothing had happened.

His heart suddenly became a little complicated.

Shen Muyao is simple, but simplicity does not mean that she is not smart. He doesn't say it, and she knows it.

Xiao Heng had also said those rights and wrongs to her before, so Shen Muyao knew very well who the people who came were and what they were going to do.

She also knew very well that this place could not stay for a long time, and even Xiao Heng could not stay by her side for a long time.

Those rights and wrongs always have to be resolved.

At this point, Shen Muyao understands much better than Xiao Heng.

The next day, neither of them said a word.

There are some facts to be accepted, and some things to decide.

They know each other, but they don't say anything to cherish the little time they have left.

On this day, what to do, as if nothing had happened.

When going to bed, lie on their backs, and have different dreams on the same pillow.

Xiao Heng couldn't sleep, and looked at the small lake outside the window with his eyes open.

Yun Huai is right, he can ignore his life and death, but he still has Shen Muyao, he can't leave Shen Muyao in a place of exile and danger.

She is innocent.

Xiao Heng turned around, propped himself up, and looked at Shen Muyao's eyebrows. How beautiful it is, when you laugh, your eyebrows are crooked.

He wanted her to keep smiling like that.

In that case, let him guard it.

Shen Muyao also did not fall asleep.

She was worried not for herself, but for Xiao Heng.

She knew that Xiao Heng would not sit idly by, and he would do everything he could to protect what he wanted.

She couldn't put her mind at ease.

She was reluctant to let Xiao Heng take the risk.

But this adventure is not only for her, for their future, but also for Xiao Heng himself.

This is the road he will have to take sooner or later.

Xiao Heng suddenly turned around, propped himself up and looked at her. She hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

She didn't have to look to know how beautiful the sword-eyed starry eyes were, the star-like eyes.

In that case, let her be his back.

Early one morning, gardenias exude a unique fragrance, and Shen Muyao sorted out Xiao Heng's clothes.

Xiao Heng looked at her forehead: "I'm going to meet some people, don't run around at home, if something happens, someone nearby will come to protect you." ”

Shen Muyao said okay.

She watched Xiao Heng walk out of the courtyard gate and out of her field of vision, just like many, many ordinary mornings, Xiao Heng went to the field to farm.

But now he was going farther away.

Xiao Heng passed by the forest where he had been with Shen Muyao before, and turned left and right. Entered a small clearing.

Yun Huai was waiting for him there early, and when he saw him coming, he bowed his hand: "Fifth prince." ”

Xiao Heng stopped: "You don't have to call me the fifth prince anymore, I am no longer the fifth prince." If you want to call it, you can call it Childe. ”

Yun Huai nodded, and then began to talk to him about the plan in detail: "The emperor's people arrest no one for the first time, it is estimated that they will be patient for a while, and if no one returns after this time, there will be the next strangulation." We're going to get out of here before that......"

Xiao Heng talked for a long time, and only returned home at dusk. Shen Muyao had already cooked the meal and was waiting for him to come back. I'm afraid that after waiting for a long time, she is a little sleepy, and she knocks on the table like a chicken pecking rice. Xiao Heng was afraid that she would bump into her, so he stretched out his hand and carefully protected her face. Shen Muyao slammed down, Xiao Heng's heart tightened, and he went to catch her face. didn't succeed, Shen Muyao woke up instead, and when she saw that it was him, she complained a little coquettishly: "Why did you come back now, the dishes are cold." ”

Xiao Heng's heart was about to melt, and he touched her little head: "Let you wait for a long time, you can eat first before I come back in the future." ”

Shen Muyao shook her head: "No, it's good for husband and wife to eat together." ”

Xiao Heng looked at her, and suddenly felt that the tiredness of the day had disappeared: "Let's eat." ”

In the following days, it was like this. No matter how late Xiao Heng is, he will come back before dusk and accompany Shen Muyao to dinner, and Shen Muyao never asks him about it.

After a few days, Xiao Heng had already negotiated a plan and decided to go north to Jingzhou first to see the attitude of the Qin family. He can't hide forever, he has to fight back.

As for Shen Muyao, Xiao Heng didn't plan to take her with him. Although it is not a long way to go to Jingzhou, the emperor's pursuers may appear at any time, and he doesn't want her to take this risk. Secondly, the attitude of the Qin family is also not clear, since the new emperor ascended the throne, there has been a little tendency to favor the new emperor, and the changes have been great.

That night, it was finally time to say goodbye.

After eating and doing what should be done, Xiao Heng sat in front of Shen Muyao.

When Shen Muyao saw him coming, she put the medicine book aside and waited for him to speak first. It seems that not so long ago, too.

But this time, they were all ready to face it.

Xiao Heng looked at her and said, "Ah Yao, those were my second brother's people before, they have already found me, and someone may come to kill me soon." For your safety, and not to implicate our fathers and fellow villagers, we have to leave here. ”

Shen Muyao had already guessed seven or eight points, and she was very calm.

"I'm going to Jingzhou to find the Qin family, the mother of the first queen, for help, the road is very dangerous, and the changes are also very big, so I will let someone accompany you to Gusu, you find a place to live in peace, and when the dust settles, I will look for you, okay?"

Shen Muyao knew that he was a little reluctant when he didn't decide to take her, but it quickly became reluctant and worried: "I listen to you." But you also have to be safe and careful. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to the lady too." Xiao Heng hugged her tightly.

On the morning of the second day, Shen Muyao packed up her things and prepared to leave. It happened to be the first day of the new year, and after discussion, I decided to go to the clinic for the last time and say goodbye to my parents and fellow villagers.

She went to the hut first, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to several tablets on the table: "Father, mother, grandfather, the child is not filial, and he will not be able to honor you in the future, you must take care." ”

She raised her head and looked at the tablet, as if she faintly saw her father and mother smiling softly at her: "A-Yao, be careful." She opened her mouth and muttered, "My daughter will." ”

Shen Muyao packed her bags and stood side by side with Xiao Heng in the courtyard. Xiao Heng took her hand and walked out of the courtyard gate.

Shen Muyao still couldn't hold back and looked back.

The two cottages, a small courtyard, a sparkling lake and fragrant gardenia bushes all carry a lot of memories.

The first time Xiao Heng saw her in the hut, he put a dagger around her neck, wanted to brush off the porridge grains from her mouth when eating in the small courtyard, confessed to her in the gardenias, hurriedly made porridge in the kitchen, and fished in the small lake......

They also married in the church here and set a century-old marriage.

Stepping out of this pure land and entering the turbid world, there is no choice.

Shen Muyao took one last look, engraved the house, courtyard, small lake, and flowers tightly in her mind, and turned her head to take Xiao Heng's hand and walked forward.

The white and immaculate gardenias in the flowers were fragrant and refreshing, but unfortunately no one appreciated them anymore.

Maybe one day, a woman in plain clothes and white clothes will come back and pick a gardenia to make up for the thousands of scars on her heart.

Who knows.
