Even if they want to get out of here, it will be a bit of work. None of them can say what they will encounter in the future.

Thinking of this, Gu Ziyuan turned over some food and looked back at her, "Rong'er, let's go quickly!" ”

She didn't speak, and her heart was dull all the time. He didn't say anything else, just nodded lightly and left the county with him.

She knew that staying here for a long time was not a thing, and he was right, it was better to leave early.

He didn't know what to say to her, so he had to follow her, a little more silent. He thought that the beautiful scenery along the way would always make her forget something.

But since he left the county, Bai Rong's face has always been a little depressed, and he rarely talks on the road, and he also has a sad face when he sits there in a daze, which makes people feel distressed.

But she is still immersed in this emotion and has not broken free.

Gu Ziyuan selected particularly tall grass roots and some bright flowers from the grass on the side, and secretly made up some gadgets while she was not paying attention.

"Rong'er, look at this garland, is it beautiful?" He suddenly handed it to her, wanting to surprise her.

She took it, and there was a brightness in her eyes. This wreath is not exquisite, but it is unique and elegant, just weaving it, I don't know how many flowers and plants are wasted. She played with it in her hand, turned back and smiled at him gently: "This garland is beautiful, I like it." ”

Seeing her smile, he relaxed a little.

The two of them were inevitably a little tired on the road, especially Bai Rong, who had to work harder. Although she never complained about what was said.

Gu Ziyuan was afraid that her fatigue caused by continuous travel would make her feel even worse. He didn't have anything else to do for a while, so he didn't hurry forward and chose to stop in front of a tea stall.

Bai Rong sat down and asked him suspiciously, "Ziyuan, didn't you say that you should speed up your pace?" Why did it stop all of a sudden? "Could it be that he has something important to attend to.

Gu Ziyuan brought her a stack of her favorite snacks, and said distressed and worried: "Rong'er, since you came out of the county seat, you haven't had any smile on your face. I wonder if you're tired and resting. ”

And he just looked, this

There are her favorite pastries on the tea stall, and this is the first time I have encountered it along the way.

She looked back and thought about it, she was really depressed all the way. Unexpectedly, he saw it all. "Actually, I don't have anything to do, and I don't have to stop alone to let me rest."

She forced out a smile and swallowed the pastry. Because she was not in the mood to eat it at all, but in order to make the person in front of her less worried, she still swallowed without knowing the taste. It's obviously my favorite pastry on weekdays, but because of my mood, it becomes like chewing wax.

However, his sensitivity moved her heart for a while, and she always felt warm. She didn't notice any of this, but he kept it in his heart.

Gu Ziyuan looked at her and couldn't help laughing at her: "Look at your appearance, if it weren't for the fact that the pastries weren't delicious, who did you think had poisoned you?" He deliberately amused her.

She couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, where is the pastry not delicious or someone has poisoned it.

Seeing that she finally laughed, a big stone in Gu Ziyuan's heart fell. He thought she was going to go all the way like this.

Gu Ziyuan said slightly apologetically: "Rong'er, although I don't know what you're worried about, as long as you tell me, I will definitely help you solve it." ”

Bai Rong never wanted others to worry too much about her, and she also let go of the dullness in her heart. "Don't worry! I'm fine. ”

He nodded, grabbed the pastry and ate it in his mouth, and coaxed her with a smile: "Don't say it, this pastry does taste good, fortunately, if I have the money to eat it, I can buy more and bring it with me." ”

She listened to his words like this, and her mood became much more relaxed. He has always been very serious, and he rarely says such things, probably because it makes her happy.

The two of them talked and laughed, drank some tea, prepared some dry food, and began to continue on their way.

In the distance, there was another side of the forest, and Gu Ziyuan said to her happily: "Rong'er, there is a forest in front, it is estimated that it will be very cool to walk from it." ”

Although the sun is scorching on this road, it can be regarded as torturous, and it is indeed much cooler to walk on this kind of forest road. Once you cool down, your mood will be much better.

But when the two of them approached, they saw a lot of villagers on the road in the forest. Dressed in tatters and listless

Crestfallen.

One by one, they sat next to each other, talking to each other, and some of them were even very emotional, but there was sadness on their faces on the left and right.

It seems that something very difficult but helpless has been encountered.

The two of them looked at each other and knew that what happened to these villagers in front of them was not so simple.

They stepped forward quickly, perhaps anxiously to know what was going on here, so that they did not work during the day, but here with a sad face.

Bai Rong walked over gently, frowned and asked an old man: "What's going on here?" Why are you all sitting here? ”

The old man waved his hand and said very painfully: "It's not all because our lives are not good, so this kind of thing happened. ”

Gu Ziyuan squatted down and observed them carefully, looking like there were no traces of injury, not like he had encountered a mountain bandit or something.

He was puzzled: "It doesn't look like the old man has encountered some robbers." "Something else.

Bai Rong also squatted down to comfort them: "Uncle, we are not bad people, what have you encountered?" Although you can tell us, we will never say it to the public. ”

Gu Ziyuan also nodded, letting them relax.

The old man glanced at the two of them, and from the physiognomy of it, he really didn't look like a bad person, and he was dressed relatively plainly, not like some evil people.

"Where are the robbers, if you really encounter the robbers, there is still salvation. But we encountered the collusion of officials and bandits, and we had nowhere to go! An uncle next to him shouted angrily.

The old man nodded, "Yes, the robbers originally came to rob our things, and we could go to the customs declaration, but I didn't expect them to collude with the government, and now we have no way out!" ”

Hearing what the old man said, a mother-in-law next to her couldn't hold back crying anymore, "We have been working day and night, working very hard, and we may not be able to eat, but they still suppress us everywhere, so that we have no way to live." ”

As soon as the mother-in-law cried, a group of women and children next to her were also deeply infected, thinking of all the injuries she had suffered recently, and finally couldn't help the grievances in her heart, and they all hugged the child in her arms and cried loudly.
