Chapter 184: Survival
After walking for so long, Miaoli really can't walk. She was originally empty during this time, and she really couldn't afford to walk for so long.
Miao Li couldn't keep up with them, and stopped to catch her breath. For the sedan chair man in the back, it was a good walk, and suddenly a woman came out, not to mention how scary it was in the wilderness.
"Mom! Female ghosts! The sedan chair driver in the back threw the sedan chair and ran away.
Half of the sedan chair fell to the ground, and of course the one in front of it couldn't be lifted. The people who followed the side were also surprised, but they were more daring, and they came to shine a lantern on Miaoli. There are shadows on the ground, not ghosts.
The man pointed at her and asked in a trembling voice, "This ...... Woman...... Where are you from? ”
Miao Li stepped back a little, covered her face and said, "I am Lang Zhong invited by your master, waiting for you at the gate of the city, didn't your master say it?" ”
The man shook his head and muttered to himself, "Didn't the master say that my aunt was not saved?" Why did you invite Lang Zhong again? ”
When Miao Li heard his words, her head reacted quickly, and she made up a nonsense, "Your lord is actually still thinking about his aunt, but he was afraid that his wife would not dare to treat her in the house again, so he let me treat outside." ”
That's pretty much the case in the back house, and Miaoli is betting that she can guess correctly.
She guessed that it was true, and the man seemed to really believe it, and asked again, "Really?" ”
Miao Li said very seriously: "What am I lying to you for? Your aunt is suffering from tuberculosis, if it weren't for the consultation fee of two taels of silver, I wouldn't have come so late! ”
Miaoli said seriously, and this person is also a lack of heart, so he actually believed what Miaoli said.
"Then you wait, and then take a good look at your aunt when you get to Baiyun Nunnery." He scolded and said to the other palanquin driver: "That grandson doesn't know where to run, look for it!" ”
Miaoli guarded the sedan chair and waited for them to come back, thinking that the first time she came out, it was also such a night, and she met Lu Guangbai who was reading in the middle of the night while living in the broken temple.
Thinking about it, her eyes were a little sour, she hadn't seen them in a long time. I am now helpless. The capital will definitely not be able to go back, maybe you can go back to find them. Except for Zhou Shuxuan's side, only Zhaoyun Mountain let her stay at ease, and now only Zhaoyun Mountain is left.
Miao Li waited for a long time, but the two people who went to find someone did not come back. Slowly the sky is bright, and the people still haven't come back, and it is estimated that they will not come back.
Miao Li looked around, but there was no figure. The last time she met a good person, this time she didn't have that good luck. Those two people must have gone out to find someone, and they didn't even care about the people in the sedan chair she was carrying.
This is also a common thing, and if the tuberculosis infection is delayed to the point that it cannot be cured, you will have to give up in the end.
Now that it is dawn, Miaoli is also bold, covering her mouth and nose and opening the sedan curtain to see the patient's condition, maybe she can save her. As soon as I opened it, I realized that the person had already lost his breath, and his face was already spotted. Miao Li suddenly felt a chill in her back, and she actually spent the night guarding the dead body.
Putting down the sedan curtain, Miaoli withdrew with a pale face.
When she encounters a dead body, she can't do anything.
The important thing now is to leave, if she is discovered by the government, she doesn't want to be involved in a life lawsuit.
But she doesn't know where it is now, so she can only go down the official road. There was not a single pedestrian on the road, and the more I walked, the more I felt the cooler. Miao Li was covered in a cold sweat, afraid of meeting robbers and robbers, she was a weak woman, and she couldn't help it even if she met a man with evil intentions.
After a few more steps forward, Miao Li leaned against a big tree to rest her feet. So far, she has never eaten a grain of rice, and she has no place to buy the silver in her arms. If she is not exhausted, she will starve to death.
After sitting for a while, the more I rested, the more tired I felt. Forget it, and heard the sound of horses' hooves on the other side of the road, Miao Li was struggling whether to hide, or ask someone for help, thinking that the horse had already arrived, and the people on the horse passed as if they didn't see her.
Fortunately, although there was no successful call for help, at least there was no danger.
Miao Li stood up and walked forward, she was trying to find a place where there were people as soon as possible. After a few steps forward, the sound of horses' hooves returned. As if she was chasing her, Miaoli couldn't control herself and sped up. But she couldn't run as fast as a horse, and she was soon overtaken.
When he got closer, the man grabbed the reins and tentatively shouted at her back, "Sister." ”
Miao Li froze, she seemed to have heard this voice somewhere. Slowly turning around, she had also seen this person, it was the son of Dingguo Gong, she didn't remember the ranking.
"It's really you, I thought I was wrong." Qu Xingeng saw her looking at herself with unfamiliar eyes, and hurriedly said, "I am your sixth brother." ”
Miao Li looked at him, it was indeed like it, and shouted softly, "Sixth brother." ”
Qu Xingeng jumped off the horse and said, "Why are you here alone?" Saying that, he suddenly remembered something, wasn't she gone? At that time, the Duke and Mrs. Dingguo cried for a long time. None of them dared to go to the house to mourn, thinking that she had not escaped the curse. But now she's here in good shape.
Miao Li wanted to explain why she was here, but she didn't know where to start. Qu Xingeng saw her embarrassment. There is also a rough guess in her heart, no matter what, she must have something wrong with her relationship with the prince.
"If you don't want to say it, don't say it. It's just that it's very unsafe for you to be alone outside now, what if you meet a bad person? ”
Only wait for death.
Every time Miaoli thought that things would take a turn for the worse when she was going to a dead end, it seemed that God was still very good to her.
Miao Li smiled sweetly at him, "It's good to meet the sixth brother." ”
There is no way to do this laughing Qu Xingeng, I don't want to ask anything, I just want to take her back and raise her well.
"Where are you going now?"
Miaoli said helplessly: "I don't know, I can't find the direction at all." ”
Qu Xingeng asked tentatively: "Do you want to go back to the capital?" ”
Miao Li shook her head without thinking about it.
said that he didn't ask the reason without asking the reason, Qu Xingeng said again: "There is a small village near here, do you want to live there for a few days?" ”
Miao Li thought about it, she had nowhere to go, and her current body was also outside and couldn't travel a long way. I just happened to meet him again, and it was impossible to refuse to estimate. So he said, "Is that okay?" ”
"What's not to do then, only if you want to live, you can build a few rooms now." Qu Xingeng helped her get on the horse, afraid of falling her, so he walked with the reins below, "It's not far, it's near here." ”
Miaoli didn't speak, she was led by him, walked back for a while, and met the sedan chair again, which was still the same as when she left, and no one moved.
A big living man died in the wilderness, and there was not even a person to collect the body. This is to be an aunt to someone else's family, and without the favor of the master, it is a cheap life.
Why didn't she be an aunt for others, and when the lord didn't want to be pampered, he said that she was dead, and then let people send her away.
Thinking of this, it makes people sigh.
Qu Xingeng didn't notice the change in her mood, and kept talking by herself, "I didn't want to come out when my father asked me to come out to do errands before, so he was so angry that he wanted to do something with me." And in fact, I should have gone back yesterday, but yesterday the horse didn't leave, and I had to stay for another day, and I didn't come back today. It turns out that these are all for the purpose of meeting you, do you say it is fate. ”
Miao Li responded with a smile, "Of course it's fate." ”
"When I go back and tell my parents, they will be overjoyed." Qu Xingeng was very happy.
God knows how much their family wants a little girl, and they are going crazy to think about it.
There was no problem with telling Dingguo Gong, Miaoli was just afraid that Zhou Shuxuan would know. In fact, there is no need to be afraid that he will know, he doesn't want to exist anymore anyway, but in some places she still doesn't want Zhou Shuxuan to know.
"Sixth brother, can you tell your father and mother secretly, don't let the prince know."
Qu Xingeng looked up at her, wondering in his heart, did she escape. I still didn't ask for doubts, so I agreed: "Of course you can, what's not to do with this." You are the little girl of our family, and you have nothing to do with the prince. ”
The prince said that his favorite concubine died, nor did he say that his sister died.
Soon arrived at the Zhuangzi of Dingguo Gong, which was indeed not very big, just a two-entry courtyard. But the outside view is very open, standing at the door of the house, you can still see the farmland, and it seems that there is also a large family on the side.
This reminds Miao Li of learning a craft with her grandfather at her grandfather's house when she was a child, as if she has returned to her carefree childhood.
Qu Xingeng helped her get off the horse, "How is it?" If you are not satisfied, there are still a few Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and you can choose again. ”
Miao Li shook her head and said, "I'm very satisfied, don't bother anymore." ”
"That's good." Qu Xingeng tied the horse outside, and then reached out to knock on the door, where an old couple lived with a little grandson to show them the house, and soon someone inside opened the door, "The sixth young master is here, please come in." ”
Qu Xingeng pointed at Miaoli and said, "This is the eldest lady, and she wants to live here for a while." Let your brother Yun go into the city and talk to Grandpa Guo, and let him hurry up to Zhuangzi. ”
asked Grandpa Guo to come in person, Miaoli grabbed him and said, "Don't be so troublesome, just tell your father." ”
"If he had known you were still there, he would have come too." Qu Xingeng comforted her and said: "It's okay, the old man is going to die idle all day, and now he is still talking about you every day, so he will be relieved to come and see him." ”
All right.
Miao Li had also seen their battles, and knew that he was not talking nonsense, so she instructed again: "Then you must be careful, don't let the prince and the eldest princess know." ”
Qu Xingeng listened to her words very carefully, and only let Ding Guogong be notified, and no one else was told. After Dingguo Gong and his wife came quietly, they were persuaded by Miaoli to go back.
Since then, Miaoli has lived here, and she has lived for more than a month, and Zhou Shuxuan is still looking for someone like crazy, and even wants to leave behind national affairs and go out to find it by herself.
