Originally, when the rain was abundant, the Qinghe River was thirteen or fourteen zhang wide, but now there has been no rain for nearly three months, and the river has faded early, leaving only the middle of the river.

On both sides of the river are dense clumps of reeds.

There are large clearings in the reeds.

Every ten zhang or so there were wooden houses in the open space, and these houses were not quite like ordinary dwellings, not only with red silk hanging on the windows, but also with colorful garlands hanging on the doors.

Lan'e grabbed the window and looked at it for a while, then turned back to lie down on the couch.

Wang Xian pouted: "I told you a long time ago, it's dark outside, and you can't see anything clearly, you don't believe it." You said...... Silk on the windows, flowers on the doors, what do you do? ”

Lan'e turned over and faced the wall, pretending not to hear.

In fact, it doesn't matter if she ignores it or not, Wang Xian is just panicking and trying to find a reason to speak.

Wang Xian sat on the couch with her legs bent, her chin on her knees, and said to herself: "The one called Xinggu, I saw the servant woman turn the lantern and go to the left, and Xinggu definitely lives on the left." And the lady with a mole on her eyebrows, she also went to the left. There is definitely a house on the left. ”

The stout woman led them into the house, locked the door, and went away.

As soon as she was gone, the sisters began to pick the door and check the window bed.

After carefully checking it several times, the two finally died.

There is a lock on the door, and there is more than one.

Wrist-thick sticks were embedded in the windows, and only fists stretched out between them.

There were no tables or stools in the room, only a bedding and a wooden pillow, and it was empty beyond that.

Wang Xian glanced at the room again, swept back and forth a few times, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand to push Lan'e: "A'e, the yin here is deep, are you sleeping?" ”

Lan'e turned her face and glared at her: "If you can't sleep, you have to sleep, take care of your spirits, maybe you will have a chance to escape tomorrow." ”

Wang Xian nodded slightly: "Then ...... Go to sleep. ”

I have been sisters for seven or eight years, and it is the first time that the two have slept together.

Wang Xian was awkward and lay down with Lan'e, looked at the quilt and then at the wooden pillow, and pulled the corner of the quilt on her stomach.

The night was deep, and from time to time there were a few bird calls outside the house, and some flying insects hit the door wrench and made a "flutter" sound.

Tiredness came up, Lan E yawned, and was about to turn over, when there was a sudden "click" outside the window.

This sound is like a red silk hanging on the windowsill, which beats the wooden wall because of the wind, and like a sharp knife cutting tofu, because it is so urgent and fast, that it knocks on the board when the knife is closed.

Someone's coming!

Lan E's whole body tensed instantly, maintaining the posture just now and remained motionless.

"Lady E's awake?" Mama Li raised her short knife and took a picture of the couch with the blade.

The cold light flashed and disappeared.

Oh, it's okay, it's okay, my own people.

Lan E sat up quietly and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you alarm the others?" ”

"Don't worry, the old slave blew smoke one by one." Mama Li responded to the words, looked at Lan E with burning eyes, looked at it twice, flipped her wrist, and put the short knife into her sleeve with a "whoosh".

Lan E glanced at her bulging sleeves, and then her eyes rolled and landed on the couch.

On the edge of the bed, Wang Xian bent one arm to pillow her head, and the other hand was loosely placed on her waist, breathing lightly and evenly, as if she was sleeping heavily.

Lan E's eyes swirled around her face.

Is this reassuring? Mama Li leaned forward, stretched out her hand and patted her twice, patted her, and then retreated and said, "If the lady has something to say, she can say it." ”

Lan'e asked in a low voice, "Are your mother and father okay?" ”

lost two daughters at once, which one will be the father and mother.

The corners of Mama Li's mouth twitched a few times, and said: "Madame is not light, the adult suspects that the old slave knows the whereabouts of the ladies, and has ordered someone to go to Jinyang to chase the old slave, Bi Langjun led people to find the lady, calculate the time, I am afraid that it has also arrived at this moment." ”

For Wang Ke and Cui's family, Lan'e is a little sorry, but there are some things......

Lan E looked out the window and said, "If Mama meets the eldest brother here, I'm afraid it will be even more intelligible, Mama will go first." ”

Go first?

Mama Li was a little surprised, only a look of surprise flashed on her face, and instantly returned to wooden. Li Mama said in a loud voice: "The old slave with the wooden stick on the window has been cut, and the lady can leave at any time." With that, he stepped back and turned around, and flew out of the house like a light smoke.

Lan'e pulled open the quilt and lay down again.

The sound of birds, the fluttering of insects, the wind blowing across the rooftops...... Lan'e opened her eyes wide in the darkness, listening intently to the sounds around her.

After a moment or so, maybe shorter.

Door lock "click!" Click! Two rings, followed by Uncle Yun's deep tone: "The old slave has seen the lady." ”

These people are either cutting windows or twisting locks, so they can't use a more concealed method?

Lan E sighed secretly, got up and got off the bed, and asked as she walked towards the door, "Is the eldest brother here?" I have something to say to my eldest brother. ”

Her voice was calm and soothing, as if she was not in a dangerous wilderness, but in her own backyard boudoir.

Uncle Yun's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said, "Yes." "Stepping back and getting out of the way.

"This." Wang Bi smacked slightly, raised his hand to push the door open, looked at Lan E and said lightly: "Hasn't Thirteen had enough?" ”

In Lan'e's impression, the more angry Wang Bi was, the calmer his face became, and the softer his tone of voice became.

At this time, the voice was cold and indifferent......

Lan E blinked, went up and grabbed his sleeve, stood on tiptoe again, smiled and whispered to him: "Don't be angry, big brother, my mother has a headache this time, maybe it will be done once and for all in the future." "The eldest brother went to talk to his father...... Invited to the ceremony...... At the time of the sacrifice...... Didn't he give us a horse? Let's give him a few hundred kills ...... too. ”

The more he listened, the tighter Wang Bi's brows wrinkled, and when he listened again, his brows couldn't help but tremble a few more times, and when he heard the end, he reprimanded in a lost voice: "Nonsense!" ”

After saying that, the matter was under control, Lan E didn't care about any nonsense, and smiled at him: "Big brother let's go, if it is seen by others at dawn, this thing will not be done." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pushed Wang Bi out, and closed the door, "Don't forget to lock the door." ”

How do the master and servant lock the lock, and how do they go back, Lan E doesn't care about this, go back to the bed and sleep well.

The next day.

Lan E was dreaming of eating a table full of dishes, and someone in her ear said coldly: "It's time to stay." ”

Here, Wang Xian muttered again: "There is only one head on the couch, can you send another one, this lady sleeps with a sore neck." ”

Lan E yawned and sat up, squinted at Wang Xian, and then raised her little face to look at the front of the bed.

There was a woman in Tsing Yi standing by the couch.

The woman was as thin as a bamboo pole, with overlapping wrinkles on her face, and a pair of small triangular eyes were looking at the two of them condescendingly.

At this time, seeing Lan E looking up, the woman grinned and said, "I will report the pillow, and the two ladies have freshened up and gone to eat." He pointed to the end of the couch.

Eat!

From yesterday to the present, the road has not been less, the heart has not been less dry, not to mention the food, the sisters have not even drunk water.

Lan'e touched her shriveled stomach and lifted the quilt to the ground.

Wang Xian also grunted and sat up.

There was a stack of clothes at the end of the couch.

Lan E opened it and saw that from the white silk shirt to the silk coat, and then to the shoes decorated with jade pieces, from the inside to the outside, from head to toe, it was very complete.

Lan E picked up a smaller set of clothes. Wang Xian did the same, and took the rest of the set and replaced it with a muffled voice.

When the two sisters were in order, the thin woman led them out.

It was pitch black last night, and Lan E only heard the sound of water, and she didn't know if this was a wilderness forest or who was the queen.

As soon as she went out at this time, she saw a large area of reeds, and Lan'e's eyes lit up instantly.

The sound of the water, the reeds, and sure enough, it was by the river.
