Chapter 44: Escape
"A lowly concubine, I don't believe you can do anything to me. The old lady has to clean you up today. ”
Mrs. Du raised her hand and motioned for the concubine to take the tools and prepare the family law to serve.
"Mrs. Du, do you want to lynch when the master is not at home?"
Chu Ruoxi had an idea and deliberately dealt with her. From time to time, her eyes swept into the distance, she knew that Master Du had to pass through this place every day, and he would be back soon.
"You try one more thing? Don't think I don't know, the master is just trying to get a momentary freshness, and when the freshness passes, you can only live obediently behind closed doors. ”
Mrs. Du was quick for a while, and couldn't help but say what was in her heart.
"What the lord likes is Madame, is this something that you can compare to a concubine?"
The concubine next to her did not forget to add oil and vinegar. said with a smile on his face.
"Are you really afraid of the master? When the master is not at home, he wants to use the family law indiscriminately? ”
Chu Ruoxi saw that Master Du was back, so he deliberately raised his voice and said to Mrs. Du. When Mrs. Du heard this, she motioned to the concubine to hurry up. I can't wait to break Chu Ruoxi's body into thousands of pieces by myself.
"Sharp-toothed. I hate it the most, hurry up and call me. ”
Mrs. Du asked the concubine to hurry up, and she was about to hit Chu Ruoxi with a whip with a gun and a stick.
"Stop! Stop me. Who made you use the family law? ”
Master Du walked over quickly and snatched the whip from Mrs. Du's hand. Then he gave Mrs. Du a slap in the face.
Many concubines saw that the situation was not good, and threw away the things in their hands one after another. Kneeling and begging for mercy.
"Master, master, listen to me. This woman has disobeyed me, and you say that I, the eldest lady, should teach her a lesson. ”
Master Du began to cry with tears, and landed on his knees with a plop, not forgetting to count Chu Ruoxi.
Chu Ruoxi was tired and understood, Master Du was pleased with himself, so he naturally would not listen to Mrs. Du's nonsense. He was silent.
When the concubines saw this, they also knelt down one after another. seems to want to report to the group to confirm Chu Ruoxi's crime.
"Master, the concubine swears. Absolutely no such sinful thing has been done. ”
Chu Ruoxi's red lips opened lightly, and he explained slowly. If she doesn't need to say that, Master Du won't punish her.
Instead, he asked Mrs. Du and all the concubines of the counselors present to receive the punishment together, and asked the maid to help Chu Ruoxi go back to the room to rest.
Night falls. Chu Ruoxi opened the maid in the room. And told them to come back and fall asleep without her permission, and not to disturb them easily.
Then Chu Ruoxi turned out the luggage that had been packed and hidden, cautiously glanced around the door, and then quietly walked out.
The night wind was fierce, and people couldn't help but shiver in their hearts. Chu Ruoxi cautiously bypassed the firewood room and saw Mrs. Du and the others who were being punished and Master Du.
After determining whether they would come to him for a while and a half, Chu Ruoxi quickened his pace and walked towards the remote wall.
Coming to the wall, Chu Ruoxi leaned against a tree and climbed up. Several attempts to jump onto the wall failed.
The tree was a full half lower than the wall. What can I do now? Chu Ruoxi, who has always been steady and calm, finally made a mistake.
She thought about it and jumped down from the tree. Try to find other tools to help you climb over the fence.
"This Master Du is quite thoughtful. Make the tree so short. Chu Ruoxi didn't forget to joke to himself.
I've been looking for a long time, but I still can't find anything. So she climbed the tree again. This time, I had to take a gamble and jump from the tree to the wall.
After making some preparations, Chu Ruoxi jumped to the wall. Perhaps because of a leg injury, Chu Ruoxi failed to achieve his goal.
With a thud, the whole person fell to the ground. To make matters worse, he sat on a dead branch in the grass and made a noise.
Chu Ruoxi subconsciously rubbed his aching legs. The old wound hasn't healed yet, and this time it's a new one. There was an inexplicable nameless fire in my heart.
In an instant, Chu Ruoxi raised his eyes and saw a dog walking towards him. It scared her completely.
"When did you have a dog in this house? This, how I don't know. ”
Chu Ruoxi muttered in her heart. Grabbing the luggage on the ground, he didn't care about his leg injury, and tried to maneuver with the dog before running.
"Hey, puppy, don't come here. Wait, I'll give you the best food. ”
Chu Ruoxi had an idea, picked up the stone on the ground and threw it next to the dog. But the dog is not like this, and the attention is still focused on her. It seems clear that it was just a stone, not a bone.
"I'll go, why is this dog so smart." Chu Ruoxi couldn't help but sigh, and then ran away.
When the dog saw Chu Ruoxi running, he also ran. chased her but refused to give up.
Then the dog became more and more excited, and barked from time to time. chased Chu Ruoxi for a few laps in a row.
Based on the leg injury, it is impossible for Chu Ruoxi to run past a dog with sensitive legs and feet now.
Back in the room, Chu Ruoxi quickly closed the door. Now not only did he fail to escape, but he was bitten by a dog.
"No, no, no, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it for a few days. Be sure to hurry up and find a way to escape. ”
Chu Ruoxi looked at the injury on his leg, and there was a faint uneasiness in his eyes. I couldn't help but say to myself.
The next morning, Chu Ruoxi deliberately got angry early. The soup was made before Master Du went to do his errands, so he personally sent it to him.
"Master, this is the ginseng soup I ordered someone to stew for you. Drink it quickly. ”
Chu Ruoxi took the soup and sent it to Master Du. Master Du stared at the book with a magnifying glass, looked left and right, and hurriedly put the magnifying glass down when he heard Chu Ruoxi's voice.
"Oh, ma'am, it's not easy. You also stewed me soup. ”
When Master Du saw that Chu Ruoxi had changed his indifferent attitude, he was not only overjoyed. Take the soup and drink it in one go.
"Sir, now I have figured out who I am. Do what you have to do. ”
Chu Ruoxi said solemnly. Master Du nodded hurriedly when he heard this. Expect her to continue.
"But, since I'm a concubine, I think I should have a few one-sided clothes. Otherwise, it's really embarrassing. ”
Chu Ruoxi made a sad look. It can be seen that Master Du feels uncomfortable.
"Cheng, I'll ask Madame to send you a few. How much and how much to have. ”
Old Man Du said happily. Suddenly I felt a good feeling in my heart.
"I don't like what they send. I want to go to the clothing store and pick it myself. ”
Chu Ruoxi said firmly. Don't forget to point out the embarrassment between himself and Mrs. Du to Master Du to get his consent.
Then Master Du agreed with Chu Ruoxi's suggestion. But he sent a few people to follow Chu Ruoxi together.
After being imprisoned for so many days, Chu Ruoxi finally got to see the light of day. The streets are bustling with people coming and going, so happy. Although it is a little worse than the capital. Chu Ruoxi suddenly missed his hometown.
She walked to a clothing store and walked in quickly. Several attendants did not dare to slack off and followed closely.
"Oh, girl, what a vision. The clothes on this side are all from the capital. Good value for money. ”
The sharp-toothed proprietress hurriedly greeted Chu Ruoxi when she saw it. And so on.
"Well, pack them all for me. Then pack them separately. Chu Ruoxi bought it happily.
Then all the clothes were divided into bags and carried by the men. Chu Ruoxi had an idea, thinking that now they were carrying heavy clothes, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to run.
After a while, Chu Ruoxi came to another crowded clothing store. Took the clothes and went into the fitting room. Take advantage of the crowd and quickly slip away.
A sharp-eyed attendant spotted Chu Ruoxi, who was fleeing, and immediately called the others to catch up with her.
But there was a sea of people, and by the time they squeezed out of the crowd, Chu Ruoxi had already run away. In desperation, they could only act separately.
"You go over there, you go over there." One of the leading attendants finished explaining to the others, then threw away the large bag of clothes and ran quickly.
Chu Ruoxi ran hard with his injured and inflexible legs. Panting and out of breath, I didn't forget to look back to see if they had caught up.
Running and running, she ran into an alley.
This alley is very spacious, but it is not very long, so as soon as Chu Ruoxi entered the alley, he saw a man dressed as a scholar leaning against the corner of the wall, holding a book and shaking his head.
Chu Ruoxi hesitated, she glanced behind her, and Ying Ying could see a few figures chasing after her, she had no choice but to run forward and grab the scholar's sleeve and said breathlessly,
"This brother, I'm disturbed, I met a robber, and the people behind me are about to catch up, and I bother you to save the little girl's life."
Zhou Rusheng is endorsing the book, and now he was interrupted inexplicably, he was very angry, but when he saw that it was a weak woman with tears on her face, I saw pity, and now she was chased and robbed again.
"Girl, come with me." Zhou Rusheng immediately grabbed Chu Ruoxi's arm and walked towards the other end of the alley.
After only half a cup of tea, Zhou Rusheng took her around left and right into his house.
Chu Ruoxi entered the house, and the heart that had been hanging quietly let go, but she was still afraid of being found by those people, she didn't care about this red tape, and then asked like the people behind her, and hid directly in the inner room.
And Zhou Rusheng didn't mean to blame when he saw her go in, originally he planned to take her to hide in the back room, he still stood at the door with the book in his hand and read it, but now his mind is not on this book at all.
He took the book and watched cautiously at the movements around him, and sure enough, in a short time several tall and strong men came running over, and when he saw them coming towards him, his whole heart rose to his throat.
