Chapter 2: Escape (I)
With a sound of "ah......", Mu Wanqiu woke up from the nightmare and sat up straight.
The sound of frogs lingers, the moon floats in the starry sky, and there is a fresh fragrance of wild grass everywhere, the night of the jungle is so charming, why didn't she find it in her previous life?
I thought it was bitter.
“…… Miss has a nightmare again? Mu Zhong, who was guarding not far away, was awakened by the screaming and got up with a grunt.
Looking at Mu Wanqiu, who was staring blankly at the starry sky, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Originally, she was a high-minded, arrogant and willful eldest lady, because her father was convicted, she fell to the end of the world overnight, and slept in the starry meal, who would have nightmares, right? Mu Zhong sighed inaudibly, picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on her, added a handful of branches to the bonfire that was about to be extinguished not far away, and said:
"Let Miss sleep in the mountains and forests, there is no way, we are fugitives and can't live in the inn, while the sky is not bright, Miss will sleep for a while, Ming'er has to get up early and hurry......" Seeing that Mu Wanqiu was silent, she said, "It's fine tomorrow, when you arrive at the great cause of Xiangdu, far away from Kyoto Ankang, Miss can stay at the inn......"
“…… Cause? Mu Wanqiu, who looked blank, suddenly stirred, "Tomorrow will be ......"
"Yes......" A dazzling light flashed in Mu Zhong's eyes, "We will arrive at Daye tomorrow, and the second young master of the Pingcheng Zeng family, Xiangye's old friend, will pick up Miss Ying in Daye......"
"Tomorrow ......," Mu Wanqiu muttered.
Yes, in the previous life, it was tomorrow, this seemingly loyal Mu Zhong colluded with bandits, seized the jewelry she was carrying, and sold her to Chunxiang Building, the largest J courtyard in the great cause.
Since then, the unbearable career of J Courtyard is a stain that she can't get rid of all her life, and once she fell into the dust, no matter how low-key she is in the future, how clean and self-clean, how strong, how much she loves him, she has not become his rightful woman, and she has not escaped the doom of being ruthlessly abandoned, and finally got a cheap charge and died of hatred......
Fortunately, fortunately, she woke up in this life, before she was sold into the J Hospital, she still came and planned to struggle, the previous life is gone, and in this life, her fate must no longer be in the hands of others
“…… What's wrong with Miss? Facing her suddenly cold gaze, Mu Zhong couldn't help but shudder.
Miss has had nightmares for a few nights, and her mood has changed greatly, she was originally arrogant and domineering, much more gloomy, but also a lot deeper, often not saying a word for a day, she will often look at him with a gaze that he does not understand, and often sit like this, that is, in the middle of the night, without saying a word.
I don't know why, every time he looks at her like this, Mu Zhong always has a feeling of emptiness.
“…… It's nothing? Mu Wanqiu came back to her senses, "Uncle Zhong go to sleep first, I want to sit alone......"
Avoiding Mu Wanqiu's gaze, Mu Zhong answered vaguely and lay not far away with his back to her.
Hearing the sound of even breathing behind her, Mu Wanqiu quietly wiped away the tears on her cheeks and looked at the blue starry sky obsessively.
Since she woke up, she liked to sit quietly like this, thinking about nothing, just sitting quietly. If in this life, you can often breathe such free air, often smell the fragrance of this weed, and feel the charm of this nature, even if she is just a mountain villager, an orphan girl at the end of the world, she is also content, why must she be born in the family of the general?
In her previous life, she was too stupid, too arrogant, too willful, and too crazy.
"There is a river ahead, Miss will go wash first......" As soon as Dongfang released a glimmer of light, Mu Zhong got up, "There is not much dry food, so the slave will go pick some wild fruits and come back to satisfy his hunger......"
“…… Okay," Mu Wanqiu grabbed the burden she was carrying.
"Miss......" Mu Zhong exclaimed urgently
Although the burden is small, it is full of jewels, which is enough to buy a good incense shop in the great cause of Xiangdu, but she can't let her run away.
Suddenly noticing that his face had changed, Mu Wanqiu asked blankly, "...... Uncle Zhong still has something to do? ”
"Slave ......" Mu Zhong's voice paused, "It's not dawn yet, or the slave will accompany the young lady over?" Seeing her frowning, she added, "This is always a barren mountain, and the slave is afraid that Miss will ...... alone."
"No need to ......," Wanqiu said quietly, "I've been used to walking the mountain road for so long, it's not early, Uncle Zhong will go pick wild fruits first, and there will be fewer pedestrians when he gets on the road early......"
Staring closely at the burden in her hand, Mu Zhong's lips moved a few times, and finally answered, turned around and walked towards the forest.
After a brief cleaning, Mu Wanqiu opened the baggage, and stroked the jewelry with jade light with her fingers, which was prepared for her by her mother before leaving, and it was also her future dowry, caressing them one by one, each one of them here revealed her mother's love for her and her ardent hope, and her mother's words rang in her ears again:
“…… Ah Qiu, let's go with Uncle Zhong, he is a street child taken in by your father, and he will treat you as a daughter in the future...... You remember, no matter what happens at home, you must not come back, you must not avenge me and your father, as long as you can live well and marry a good family, your mother will be blind under the spring...... Money can cause trouble, although there is something in the house, but my mother doesn't dare to bring you more, these are enough for you to escape to the Xiangdu after the great cause, set up an incense shop, and be an honest businessman......"
Mother...... Mother just hopes that she will be safe in this life
I don't know when, Mu Wanqiu's face was full of tears, in her previous life, she and Mu Zhong stayed in this mountain at night, she complained in every way, her family was rich and silver, but her mother refused to give her more entanglement, she wanted to sleep in the mountains, suffered this evil crime, and after a lifetime, she understood her mother's hard work:
It was such a little treasure that she had complained about again and again that brought her bad luck to the dust
"Mother...... Don't worry, in this life, your daughter must live like a person......" Looking at the rising morning glow in the sky, Mu Wanqiu muttered.
After a long time, she lowered her head and quickly fastened her baggage, stood up with it, and looked at the winding path by the river, and she stopped again.
She likes martial arts since she was a child, so her father specially invited a martial artist for her, but most of them are wreaths to show off her legs, and it just makes her body stronger and more dexterous than ordinary women, how can she compare with Mu Zhong, he is her father's specially trained personal guard with unique skills, in this wilderness and deep mountains, she brought these jewels, and she is destined to be unable to escape.
The thought flashed, Mu Wanqiu squatted down again and reopened the baggage, took out the small baggage wrapped in clothes from it, picked up a jade pendant and stuffed it into his arms, thought about it, and took it out again, these jewels, Mu Zhong didn't know how many times he had quietly counted them at night, if there was one less, he would be suspicious and would not let her go.
However, looking at the clothes bag in her hand, Mu Wanqiu's mind was full of thoughts, even if she left jewelry, her body could still be exchanged for money, would Mu Zhong, who had a stunt, let her leave like this?
In the previous life, he sold her to J Courtyard for money.
After a moment's hesitation, she gritted her teeth fiercely.
Kneeling on the ground again, he opened his clothes bag and rummaged through it, and sure enough, in a mezzanine between the barriers, he found a scroll and slowly pulled it out, on which were written "Wei's perfumery" with a few vigorous ink characters.
This is the priceless treasure left to her by her parents.
In the previous life, she was sold to the J Academy, and found this book by chance, but unfortunately, in her previous life, she was too stupid to understand the value of this cheat, he said he liked it, so she gave it to him, let him take it as a dowry, and married the eldest lady of the Liu family, Liu Feng, Liu Feng used this fragrance cheats, successfully entered the fragrance world, defeated the Li family, known as the head of the fragrance industry, and became the head of the big Thursday family, and achieved his great cause.
In this life, she will never make the same mistake again.
