Chapter Twenty-Three: Escape

Zhong Xiaohua didn't dare to let them light the lamp, she was afraid that she would leak the target and attract death, so they groped in the dark.

Finally, in the courtyard outside the house, they found the stiff body of the mother, which had been covered in snow and melted into the ground.

Zhong Xiaohua carefully brushed away the snowflakes on her mother's body, and gently picked up her mother's body, her mother's body was so light, so light that even people like her could easily pick her up.

She carried her mother into the house, put her on the bed, pulled the quilt over her mother's body, she bent down, stroked the deep sunken eye sockets on her mother's face, then bent down, imprinted a kiss on her mother's cold forehead, and ran out of the house suddenly.

At that time, she was an orphan, but after crossing here, she had a mother coldly, she was so happy at that time, she thought that she would have a mother to love herself, she thought that she was no longer an orphan, although this so-called mother was blind, but she only wanted a mother, but God made her an orphan again.

She couldn't stand it, she couldn't stand her mother leaving like this, and she still didn't breathe under her nose, she felt like she was about to suffocate in the house, so she hurried outside the house, opening her mouth wide and breathing heavily.

There was a suppressed cry in the room, and the sisters and brothers gathered around their mother's bed, covering their mouths and crying sadly.

"This is not a place to stay for long, don't cry anymore, we have to leave quickly, in case they come back, we can't leave."

Zhong Xiaohua took a few deep breaths to suppress the pathos in her heart and entered the house.

"What about Eminem?"

Zhong Xiaocao asked sadly.

"Leave Eminem here first, we need to escape now, and taking our younger brothers and sisters out safely is our main task now."

After Zhong Xiaohua finished speaking, she took the lead in kneeling down, and respectfully kowtowed three times in front of her mother's bed, and they all knelt down one by one, following Zhong Xiaohua's example, and kowtowed to her mother.

Then she asked the eldest sister to tidy up the children's clothes, and she went out into the yard in the dark, and came under the tree, and he found a hoe and began to plan,

She dug out the parchment package, and without looking at what was inside, she carried it in her arms.

Zhong Xiaohua first asked her sister to take a few children to Houshan first, it was too unsafe here, and she went straight to the village chief's house to plant flowers.

"Grandpa the village chief, I'm a woman...... They killed me, I want to ......"

Zhong Xiaohua's eyes were full of tears, and she knelt in front of the village chief, and she endured her grief and said to the village chief.

"Xiaohua, I'm really sorry, you know, I couldn't help the situation at that time, you said, if there is anything you need my help with, just say it."

The village chief saw Zhong Xiaohua rubbing his hands apologetically, and let out a long sigh, a little helpless.

"Grandpa the village chief, in that case, no one can do anything, don't blame yourself. I'm coming to you right now, just to ask for your help in burying my mother with the money. ”

The village chief nodded, but looked at Xiaohua and stopped, Zhong Xiaohua immediately spoke.

"After I'm gone, your partnership with the restaurant in town continues, and I'm leaving."

She took the copper coins from her body that she couldn't take away at all and could only drag herself down, put them on the table of the village chief's house, glanced at the village chief with eyes full of anticipation, and then turned around and rushed out.

Heavy snow is falling, and the roads are difficult to navigate.

On an official road, several children in tattered clothes walked forward with their messy hair on their heads.

Seeing that the city gate was close in front of them, they showed joy, but stopped at the city gate.

I saw the portraits of six children pasted on the gate of the city, and they were the same people.

Zhong Xiaohua and her sister took their younger siblings, in order not to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, they were even more worried that the girl would be snatched away by others, so they could only walk at night and rest during the day.

In addition to the little five and six who dressed up as girls, from the eldest sister to the little saucer dressed up as boys, and even just in case, she spent money from the beggars, so they dressed up as beggars all the way to the border.

The border is bitterly cold, and it is far away from the imperial capital, so what is going on over there, after arriving here, the whip is beyond reach.

Especially General Zhao on the border here, it can be said that he is the god of war of the entire apocalypse, and with him, he is much more at ease.

"Second sister, what should I do? There is a portrait of us there. ”

Several children have suffered a lot recently, with cracked smiling faces, huge hungry heads, and slender bodies.

But seeing that hope was in front of them, it gave them a painful blow.

Zhong Xiaocao was also worried, especially when she watched the flame of hope in the eyes of several children gradually disappear, she couldn't help but push her sister.

"Xiaohua, you have a way."

Zhong Xiaohua stretched out her heart and wiped it on the children's dark faces, walking forward like a strong man breaking his wrist, and did not forget to tell them.

"Look, if I'm caught in a while, remember to run."

Seeing that Zhong Xiaohua was leaving, several other children pounced on her, some hugged her legs, some hugged her waist, and didn't let her move.

Mother just didn't, if Zhong Xiaohua was arrested again......

At this time, a team of people came at a gallop.

In front of him was a fiery red horse, and on the back of a sturdy horse sat a man in silver and white armor.

All the people in front of the city gate avoided one after another, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate did not bother to check, and hurriedly saluted the general.

Zhong Xiaohua's eyes lit up, and she learned from the admiring mouths of the people around her that this man was none other than the legendary god of war, although he was not very old, he guarded the entire frontier as impregnable, and he was the king of Qingyang appointed by the emperor.

She couldn't help but look at the general, and at that moment, the other party's handsome face flashed quickly in front of her, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

It's familiar......

The more she looked at it, the more she felt that this general seemed to have seen it somewhere, she shook her head, and suddenly remembered that in the restaurant of the Drunken Immortal Residence, the man who was majestic and dressed in a strong outfit......

Zhong Xiaohua took a deep breath and turned around to order Xiaocao.

"You don't care what I do for a while, what you have to do is to rush in while everyone doesn't react."

Zhong Xiaocao felt a little uneasy in his heart, and grabbed Zhong Xiaohua.

"You don't risk ......"

Zhong Xiaohua touched the heads of a few little radishes, shook her head at them and smiled.

"Don't take risks, don't take risks."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her face change, and she ran towards the front quickly, especially shouting while running.

"General Zhao, do you still know me? General Zhao! ”

The team sensed the abnormality behind them, and they all grabbed the horse's reins, hooked the horse's head, and turned to look at Zhong Xiaohua who was chasing after him.

And the soldiers defending the city also forgot to react, and just watched Zhong Xiaohua rush forward in beggar's clothes.

Zhong Xiaohua quickly came to Zhao Yiyan and gave him a deep salute.

"General, you don't know me, we saw it in the Drunken Immortal Building, and you still ......"

Drunken Immortal Building!

Zhao Yiyan's originally cold expression suddenly changed, and he gave the deputy general next to him a look, and the other party immediately waved his hand behind him.

Before Zhong Xiaohua finished speaking, she was taken down by the soldiers beside the general.

"General, don't you remember me? ...... first few months"

She was gagged.

Zhong Xiaocao's heart was pounding, but since Zhong Xiaohua had already ordered, she could only suppress the uneasiness in her heart, and took the children into the city while the soldiers guarding the city were not paying attention.

When the others saw it, they also rushed inside, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

However, Zhong Xiaocao, who had already entered the city, escaped the catastrophe, and she first settled the child in a nearby family, and then went to inquire about Xiaohua's whereabouts.

In the prison of the barracks, Zhong Xiaohua, who was unkempt, pale, and covered in rags, was tied to a pillar, her head drooping listlessly, and her brain was running rapidly, thinking about how to get out.

"Tell me, what's your name? What is the purpose of coming here, you have to be honest and suffer some flesh and skin. ”

"My name is Zhongli, I don't have any purpose, I'm just a cook in the drunken fairy building, there are more children in the family, and my parents are dead, so I want to set up my own door and come out to make money."

She raised her head and glanced at the lieutenant general, in order not to be recognized, she reported the name of her previous life, and thought about it, and changed the name for everyone when she went out.

After all, what kind of little flowers and grasses, the little three and the fourth are so ugly.

Zhong Xiaohua continued to plead that she wanted to fight for a chance to live for herself.

"And I heard that the border city under General Zhao's rule is thriving, and there are many discounts for us merchants, so I went here."

One of the lieutenant generals at the head frowned and pondered, he was carefully trying to figure out whether Zhong Xiaohua's words could be trusted.

"General, if you really don't believe me, I'll wrap you some buns now and let you taste them. You don't know, our buns in Zuixianlou are notoriously delicious, even General Zhao has eaten them! ”

Zhong Xiaohua continued to flicker, but she was suspicious.

Why did Zhao Yiyan let people take him away when he heard the three words Drunken Immortal Building, and didn't even let her speak?

The lieutenant raised his face and motioned to his subordinates to loosen Zhong Xiaohua's tie, Zhong Xiaohua raised his arms and moved his limbs.

"Go, then she will take it to the room, I want to try how delicious this bun from the Drunken Immortal Building can be!"

The lieutenant pointed at Zhong Xiaohua to his subordinates and asked his subordinates to lead Zhong Xiaohua to the room.

Zhong Xiaohua was busy in the room for a long time, and with the assistance of the master of the room, he finally made five steamed buns, and the deputy general smelled the aroma of the buns and walked into the room, showing an approving look at Zhong Xiaohua.

"You can now send this bun to your general to taste."

After Zhong Xiaohua finished speaking, the tall and straight figure of Zhao Yiyan sitting in the Drunken Immortal Residence once again appeared in his mind.

Suddenly, the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely, and she shuddered again.

Won't it ......

What is Zhao Yiyan doing? Can't let people know?
