"My surname is Shen, and my name is Shen Tan."

Shen Qiutan followed Zou Wei down the mountain and went all the way to Qingyang County.

Zou Wei showed his identity, and re-dressed as an old silversmith, and the two walked for more than half a day, seeing that noon had passed, and finally returned to the official road.

The snow creaked when it was stepped on, Shen Qiutan was thinking about how to make a difference, Zou Wei looked at her face, and suddenly said: "I told you the truth, do you have something to hide from me?" ”

Shen Qiutan was stunned for a moment, when they went out, they had just met, how could they talk deeply?

But looking at Zou Wei's sincere eyes, Shen Qiutan actually said in a ghostly manner: "Actually, I escaped from home, and I want to go to the capital." ”

"I see you're dressed well, why are you running away?"

"I ...... I'm thirteen years old, and my dad hid it from my mother and set me a doorman, and I know that family...... That person is a good drinker and a good gambler, and if he drinks too much and loses a gamble, he will beat someone, and the one in front of him was killed by him, so I don't want to ......" Shen Qiutan was possessed by the essence for a while, shaking his thin shoulders as he spoke, looking very pitiful.

"What, your dad is going to fill the house? That person has a dead wife, he must be not young, but you are only thirteen years old......" Zou Wei frowned, with a sympathetic expression.

Shen Qiutan's heart is very empty, is she casually repeating it, making it too miserable? But the words had already been spoken, so I could only stubbornly continue: "My father can't help it, my family is just a businessman, but that family has relatives who are big officials in the capital...... So...... That's why I want to go to the capital to avoid it, my family also has relatives in the capital, and I haven't been to the capital yet......"

"Hey, you originally wanted to go to the capital to play, but now you finally found an opportunity, right?" Zou Wei raised his eyebrows after changing his face, took her hand, and said enthusiastically: "I also want to go to the capital, there is a team in Qingyang County, so I will come to find the team!" If you can trust me, why don't you follow me? ”

Unexpectedly, the mountain turns around, and the willows are bright? Shen Qiutan nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, Sister Zou." ”

She has the heart to enter Beijing, but she has no power to enter Beijing, now she has a team, and an enthusiastic Zou Wei.

"Thank you, when you're out and about, isn't it just a mutual foil?" Zou Wei was actually very happy, and asked again: "By the way, last night, did you smell a particularly strong fragrance, that smell, the flowers are in full bloom!" ”

Shen Qiutan shook his head.

"Alas, that is, I was drunk, and I said, how can there be such a rich and fragrant smell in the world......"

The two chatted with each other, and finally saw the outline of Qingyang County, Shen Qiutan pulled Zou Wei's sleeve: "Inside, Sister Zou, do you still have that mask?" You know...... My face, maybe someone in the county will be able to recognize it...... "Actually, that mask is very good, I only lost half of my beard after sleeping all night, if I am more careful, I should be able to hide it."

Others are not afraid, but she is afraid of Xiao Yang!

Shen Qiutan took out two pieces of broken silver from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Zou Wei.

…………

An hour later, an old man and a young man entered Qingyang County.

The old man was a silversmith, and his family suffered a disaster, so he had to take his eldest grandson out to beg for a living, and the two searched for a long time and found the cheapest inn to live in.

Although Qingyang County is only a county, it is located in the transportation sub-hub of Jiyun Prefecture, and it welcomes and sends an unknown number of people every day. The arrival of such a pair of grandchildren did not attract too many people's attention.

As night fell, the old silversmith returned to the inn with snowflakes, and the eldest grandson took the big wooden box intimately, and then closed the door.

"How?"

Zou Wei shook his head and handed a set of short and coarse cloth clothes to Shen Qiutan: "It's the end of the year, and the first convoy and dart bureau to go to the capital after the year will have to wait for the eighth day of the new year." ”

"On the eighth day of the first month, there are eleven days left." Shen Qiutan took the clothes, tried them on, and said mischievously: "It just fits, thank you grandpa." ”

Zou Wei saw that her face was sad for a moment, and then her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she was not too depressed because she had to stay for more than ten days, and she also smiled: "Who doesn't wear new clothes for the New Year?" "The disguise mask was rented to Shen Tan, and she gave enough broken silver, so it wouldn't cost her a dress now.

Two girls spent the New Year together.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, the two stepped on the burden and wooden box, settled the room fee, and hurried to the Lin family car dealership.

The road is a little slippery, and there are sporadic firecracker slag in the residual snow, which is the firecracker put in front of the first single car of the Lin Family Automobile Company in the New Year.

Merchants all want to be auspicious, but they want to seek peace even more.

The old silversmith smiled and bowed to everyone, and then took his grandson into the penultimate carriage.

There were nine carriages in the convoy, and except for the first one and the second and third cars at the end, the other six were carrying goods. There are more than 30 dart masters accompanying him, which is not a small scale in this industry.

Zou Wei chose the Lin family car dealership at the beginning, because he liked their family's reputation, although it was more expensive, it was always safer.

In the carriage, in addition to her and Shen Qiutan, there were four men and a girl about twelve or thirteen years old.

Zou Wei put Shen Qiutan's ear: "This time, it's difficult to come back, have you really thought about it?" ”

It is undeniable that Zou Wei is a warm-hearted girl, Shen Qiutan has been with her for more than ten days, and she feels more and more that she is lucky to meet a good person like Zou Wei, and now she thinks about herself so much, Shen Qiutan's heart is warm: "Well, I think about it." ”

Her identity, once exposed, I am afraid that it will affect others, but it is not as comfortable as now.

The convoy has always taken the official road, and in the past month, except for two groups of refugees who are desperately fighting for food, and a small group of mountain bandits, the overall situation is quite calm.

Whether it is dealing with refugees or bandits, the Lin family's convoy has connections and means, but what if they meet an official one day?

On this day, the convoy passed through Liyang and was subjected to a very strict interrogation at the city gate.

The dart head Lin Yuandao tried to use the old method to be polite to the city gate officials, and on weekdays, it was over, but today, the city gate officials almost did not squint.

Lin Yuandao muttered in his heart, on the carriage, Zou Wei didn't see any worries, and although Shen Qiutan's face was as usual, he was already beating a drum in his heart.

As if they were afraid of something, after a while, another group of officers and soldiers rode a tall horse to the city gate, and heard that the Lin family's convoy was from Jiyun Prefecture, Jilu Dao, and immediately had to take a closer look.

What to check? Why just check the convoy that came out of Chazirudo?

"Get off, get off! Say what about you! "These officers and soldiers don't have a good temper, and the shouting is endless.

Shen Qiutan silently clenched his fingers.
