Xu Yuan cowered in the carriage in fear, listening to the movement outside with trepidation. Xiao Lan was the same at the moment, leaning against Xu Yuan tremblingly.

Although I didn't see what was going on outside, I could guess that it was a rollover and a sword fight, and it wouldn't be a playhouse. At this moment, countless possibilities emerged in Xu Yuan's heart, what kind of enemy of the Xu family wanted to take Xu Chusheng's head, he was actually a mysterious bloodline with a secret treasure, or Xu Chusheng's beauty was taken by the thieves and wanted to blackmail him to be the wife of the village......

Fear is contagious, and the emotions of the two people in the trembling seem to pour oil on each other's fire, making their emotions intensify at the same time. Xu Yuan tried to calm himself down, took a few deep breaths, and said in a low voice, "Xiaolan, did you bring any sharp weapons when you packed up your things before?" Hairpins are also counted. "When she fled the famine before, Xu Yuan didn't care about packing up her jewelry, and the three thousand troubles were hastily tied, and the hairpin was not used.

Xiaolan nodded, untied his coat, took out a simple silver hairpin from the pocket of his coat, and said, "This is what my mother left me." ”

Xiaolan's mother seems to have died early...... Xu Yuan was silent, did not take the heavy hairpin, but just told Xiaolan: "We will go out when there is no sound later, see how the situation is, you remember to take the hairpin to defend yourself, don't be reluctant because the hairpin is precious, life is important." ”

Xiaolan clutched the relics left by her mother and said, "Miss, I know, let's escape together later." ”

Xu Yuan shook her head: "It doesn't have to be so bad. Xu Gongzi is the son of everyone, and there must be someone around to protect him, and he will not only bring two coachmen like we watched. ”

But the sound of swords and footsteps slowly disappeared, but Xu Chusheng didn't come to them for a long time, Xu Yuan's heart was half cold, and he thought to himself: I'm going to run away for a second time. Turning to Xiao Lan, he said, "Take the purse in the baggage." Let's get out of the car, be careful. ”

The two of them cowered and leaned out of the car, and the huge mountain area was uninhabited, and the grass and trees were wilted. There was an overturned carriage crooked in front of him, and there was no one in front of him, and even the horse did not know where it was going, as if Fang Cai's voice was an illusion.

Xu Yuan cautiously wanted to move forward, but Xiaolan stopped her and insisted on walking in front for her. Xu Yuan looked at her appearance of protecting her calf, and felt funny in her heart, and was suddenly moved.

There was no one in the carriage ahead, but there were splattered or low blood stains nearby, and the trajectory of the blood was forward, as were the footprints.

Xu Yuan was shocked and said, "Let's see if there's anything here, and if not, run quickly." ”

Xiaolan went around with her, and found a piece of jade pendant under the ruts of the carriage, which was warm and moist, and the word "Xu" in the center was particularly eye-catching.

Xu Yuan guessed that this was Xu Chusheng's jade pendant. Even the jade pendant has been left here, what kind of critical situation is it!

Xu Yuan didn't have any ink, picked up the jade pendant, patted his butt with Xiaolan, and ran in the opposite direction where the blood spread.

People's desire to survive can stimulate the potential of the body, and after a few days of pampering and pampering, he vomited in the carriage again, and Xu Yuan only felt that he couldn't lift his hands and feet. And running at the moment is still a tiger, she thinks that she didn't have this speed when she participated in the school sports meeting, and she really has mixed feelings.

Although there was only an empty world, the two of them ran as if there were jackals, tigers and leopards chasing after them. Until they ran to the point where both of them lost their strength and completely collapsed on the field.

The two of them gasped for a while before they recovered. When they ran, the two of them did not run blindly, but ran along a river as much as possible, and tried to get closer to a place where there was a village.

After resting for a long time, it was almost dark, and there seemed to be a village not far ahead, and the two of them struggled to lift up the last bit of strength to move forward, and finally saw a room before they collapsed.

Xu Yuan came closer, knocked lightly on the simple wooden door twice, and asked, "Is there anyone please?" We were passers-by and wanted to beg for hot water. ”

After a while, the door creaked open, and the owner, a woman who looked to be some age, poked her head out of it, looked at the two of them, opened the door, and said, "Come in." ”

Xu Yuan and Xiaolan thanked each other and followed the woman into the house.

It was already dark, but there was no oil lamp in the house, and by the dim light coming through the window, it could be seen that the family was not in good condition.

The woman brought them a bench, pointed to it, and said, "Sit down, there is no hot water, there is cold water in the room, and if you drink it, you will serve it yourself." ”

Xu Yuan pulled Xiaolan to sit down and said with a smile: "Thank you, auntie." Auntie, your surname. Seeing that the lady was kind, she said tentatively, "Can I stay at your house for one night?" It was really dark outside, and our two girls were scared. ”

The woman raised her eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "My surname is Li, why are you two girls still walking outside at this time?" ”

Xu Yuan found that after coming in, the woman had already looked at their clothes several times, and also, she and Xiaolan were wearing brocade dresses, although they were not luxurious, but compared to the dress of the peasant girl, it was really eye-catching. Xu Yuan thought for a while, made a look of not knowing what to say, and said slightly: "Actually, the two of us are maids from outside the county town, serving the second lady of his family. Later, the second lady got married, and we were not qualified to marry, so we put it back. ”

This is not false, the maid of the city lady can indeed wear such clothes, the woman's eyes are much less suspicious, and she asked, "You haven't said why you are here." ”

Xu Yuan continued: "Isn't this put back, we were originally sisters from a village here, and we went to the city to be maids together, but now that we have put it back, we naturally have to go back to let our parents get married." ”

Xiao Lan, who had been silent, suddenly turned around and patted Xu Yuan's arm, and said, "Sister Yuan...... What do you say......" a picture of hating to marry a little girl.

Xu Yuan glanced at Xiaolan narrowly, and said with a smile: "What's so embarrassing when you're old." When we came back, we had called an ox cart in the ditch at the front, but who knows, we ran on the handlebar halfway, and someone told him that his mother-in-law was about to give birth, so he threw us halfway up. Look, what a thing! ”

Xiao Lan also echoed and kept nodding: "Yes, what's the matter!" Took our money! ”

Li Shi was amused by these two and said, "You two little girls are really alive, no wonder you can be the maids of the city people." ”

Xu Yuan smiled: "Hehe." ”

Li Shi said: "I am a widow, and I live with a son who is about to marry a daughter-in-law, and my son has gone to the town to learn crafts, and now I am alone." If you don't dislike it, just stay for a few days. ”

Xu Yuan couldn't help but grin even happier when she saw that her goal had been overachieved: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!" Auntie is so good, how can we dislike it. That's bothering you. ”
