When Jiang Yichen woke up again, he found himself lying in a narrow hut, with the doors and windows closed, with thick firewood and grass under him, and Ji Ying lying beside him with his eyes closed.

Jiang Yichen was surprised and delighted, and wanted to get up to check Ji Ying's condition, who knew that with a slight movement, his chest and shoulders protested together, and the severe pain caused him to fall back into place.

What surprised Jiang Yichen a little was that although the wound was painful, it had been carefully bandaged, and Li Xingzhi didn't want to kill them immediately.

Thank God.

Jiang Yichen lay on his back, recovered his strength for a while, and reached for Ji Ying's fingertips, but the injuries on his body made him hurt all over, so he tried a few times, but it didn't work, so he changed his way.

He tapped Ji Ying's arm with his toes, once, twice, but Ji Ying didn't wake up. Jiang Yichen gently called Ji Ying's name, and pushed with his toes again, and Ji Ying moved.

Jiang Yichen was overjoyed, and then called Ji Ying, who finally woke up leisurely.

Ji Ying, who woke up, glanced at the feet that disturbed her good dreams, there was no emotion, she sat up, her brain was groggy and painful. Looking around, his face darkened.

Ji Ying hugged her knees, buried her head between her knees, and said, "I ended up in his hands." ”

"Looks like you know where this is." Jiang Yichen tilted his head and said.

"This is the firewood house of the Boweihou Mansion."

Jiang Yichen chuckled and said, "How can a young lady like you be so familiar with your own firewood house?" ”

"It's because of the second brother. Once the second brother was naughty and broke something-probably something rewarded by the palace-he was afraid of being punished, so he pushed it on me, and later said that he leaked his mouth and was ...... by his father Li Houye beat him up, locked him up here, and issued a strict order not to allow his subordinates to give him food. My eldest brother and I felt sorry for him, so we stole two chicken legs from the kitchen and went around to find it. I remember there used to be little mice and little scorpions here. Back then, in order to get rid of the entanglement of those young ladies of the family, the eldest brother caught some small insects from here and gave them out as gifts, and then those girls didn't dare to mention the eldest brother anymore. ”

Jiang Yichen listened to Ji Ying's recollection of the past, and felt that it was interesting, and laughed in a low voice, which involved the knife wound in his chest, which made him gasp.

Only then did Ji Ying notice Jiang Yichen's strange appearance and notice the thick gauze on his body. She hurriedly pounced, frowned and asked, "Why are you injured?" It looks serious. ”

"You just noticed me?" Jiang Yichen had an aggrieved expression, and his pale lips shrugged slightly.

"Who hurt you?"

Jiang Yichen saw that Ji Ying was full of worries, so he hurriedly changed his expression and said, "It's okay, it's a little injury, I just teased you." ”

"Is it because of me? Is it because you saved me? Ji Ying's eyes were filled with tears, and she was about to cry in distress.

"It's okay, it's okay," Jiang Yichen hurriedly took her hand to reassure her, "I killed everyone who hurt me." As long as you can stand in front of me properly, what is this little injury? ”

Ji Ying held back the tears rolling in her eyes, pushed Jiang Yichen's hand away, and said, "You fool! No matter what happens in the future, you can't rush forward without relent! ”

"Okay, remember, never dare again!" Jiang Yichen replied.

Although Ji Ying knew that Jiang Yichen was just perfunctory to her, she felt a lot more at ease. She stood up and pushed the door of the firewood room, but it didn't move, it seemed to be locked outside.

Jiang Yichen said: "Don't bother, we can't get out now." ”

Ji Ying didn't stop. She walked around the pile of firewood and grass, dodging the scorpions and spiders that came and went, and pushed hard a ladder open in the corner, and then removed a dilapidated wooden box next to the ladder, revealing a hole less than three feet behind the wooden box.

"How is there a hole here?" Jiang Yichen was very surprised, and asked in a low voice.

Ji Ying was so tired that she sat down on the ground and replied in a low voice, "Second brother dug it." When he was a child, he was always afraid of being locked up here again, so he quietly dug this hole. Thankfully, the hole is still there. ”

"Where is the other side of the cave? Can I get out? ”

"It's still in the Hou Mansion, it's my eldest brother's former yard, but there is no serious road between my eldest brother's yard and here, so everyone can't imagine that we will pass from here."

"But we don't know where Bo Weihou is now, what should we do if we run into him?"

"You have to meet sooner or later, die early and live early." Ji Ying said brokenly.

Jiang Yichen felt that Ji Ying couldn't help but look weak, but at the moment of life and death, he seemed to be more courageous than him. That's right, what should come will always come, and it's better to gamble than sit back and wait.

Jiang Yichen struggled to stand up with Ji Ying's support, and the two of them drilled out of the small hole in the firewood room one after the other, but fortunately, no one saw the whole process.

Li Chengyu's original courtyard is now deserted. The snow that had fallen many days ago was still accumulating in the corner, and no one was cleaning it up. There was a poplar tree in the yard, much taller than I had in my impression, but it was lonely, like a giant looking into the distance. There was still that arrow target under the poplar tree, and it was no longer the same thing. There was a pool of living water in the small courtyard, but it was lifeless in the cold weather.

There was the sound of footsteps near the Moon Gate outside the courtyard. Ji Ying helped Jiang Yichen stick to the wall full of creepers in the courtyard. Who knows, the yard has not been repaired for many years, and as long as someone leans lightly, the soil on it will fall down in a slump.

This voice is not small, and it just happened to be heard by the soldiers of the Boweihou Mansion outside. These soldiers shouted one by one, "Who? Who's there! ”

There was no answer.

The soldiers immediately formed a strict formation and cautiously walked towards Ji Ying.

Listening to the footsteps, Jiang Yichen estimated that there were about five people on the other side, he was injured, bare-handed, and with the burden of Ji Ying, it was a little difficult to win, however, he thought, he was a dignified little Huaiwang, how to determine whether he won or lost if he didn't try?

But Ji Ying didn't wait for Jiang Yichen to take a step, so she pulled him back. She took Jiang Yichen in a flash, and entered another small courtyard from an inconspicuous small corner gate.

Jiang Yichen probably guessed whose courtyard they came into, because the soldiers only walked around the door for a while, and no one dared to come in. After a while, the soldiers did not find any suspicious traces, thinking that they were suspicious, and left with friends. Ji Ying poked her head out and looked, and sure enough, there was no one, so she continued to help Jiang Yichen walk forward.

There was a swing in this courtyard, and there were seesaws and rattan chairs, a Go board on a stone table, and a small pavilion with elaborate carvings, and a honeysuckle stand, but there was no one.

Jiang Yichen said: "Look at the interesting layout of this small courtyard, is it where you used to live." ”

"This is the inner courtyard, the courtyard of Boweihou, and I lived in this courtyard before I left."

Jiang Yichen teased: "Why do you go this way? It can't just be a reminiscence, right? ”

Ji Ying glanced at Jiang Yichen deeply and said, "This joke is not interesting at all. Do you think I'm that sentimental? ”

Jiang Yichen pursed his lips in embarrassment, not daring to speak again.

Ji Ying said: "The eldest brother's courtyard is certainly closer to the gate, but it is closer to Boweihou's courtyard, and if you can avoid him, you can live a little longer." We had to go to the second brother's courtyard and go out of the east gate from there, where there were fewer guards. ”

Hey, now, almost the entire Boweihou Mansion has been turned around by them.
