074 Escape
It was getting closer and closer to the pond, and with the torches in the hands of the villagers, Mu Qing clearly saw the excited look in the eyes of most people. This is the pathetic of the ignorant people, although they do not know what kind of legends have been handed down in the forest, but judging from the attitude of the villagers, they are undoubtedly very convinced.
"May the river god bless Tianjia Village!"
"May the river god bless Tianjia Village!"
……
One by one, the villagers who had followed them to the river knelt down facing the river, shouting loudly.
Mu Qing stood straight, but her eyes were quietly looking around. When all the villagers were lying on the ground and kneeling, she suddenly jumped up and ran straight to the other side of the pond, and her little figure was soon drowned in the darkness.
"Oops, Mu Qing ran away, go chase it!" This is Tian Laolai's voice, just now he grabbed Mu Qing's arm and escorted her to the river, so he was also the closest to Mu Qing, as soon as Mu Qing moved, he quickly stood up, roared, and then chased Mu Qing's figure into the darkness regardless of it.
"Oh bad, my little flower, I'm going home to see my little flower." This is a young woman, as soon as she saw Mu Qing running, she slapped her thigh and shouted, turned around and ran back to the village.
"Let's go, my son is still home alone, I have to go back quickly." When she shouted like this, many women in the crowd came back to their senses and hurried home with white faces, for fear that their children would be captured by the monster if they were one step too late.
For a while, the crowd was divided into two groups, one group went home to find the child, and the other group followed Tian Laolai behind him with torches to hunt down Mu Qing. The edge of the pond was soon gone.
After a long time, a thin figure quietly appeared by the pond, looked around secretly, and only after seeing no one did he bow his body and quickly ran in the opposite direction to the pursuit of Mu Qing.
Just after the thin figure left the pond, Tian Laolai's figure followed and reappeared by the pond. He held his torch aloft and searched the neighborhood carefully. After searching to no avail, he angrily kicked the stone by the river, and his face was slightly hideous under the reflection of the torches.
"Damn, she ran away!" Tian Laolai lowered his voice and scolded angrily.
For a long time, Tian Laolai, who did not give up, searched back and forth around several times, and really did not find Mu Qing's figure again before he died of that heart, and turned around angrily and chased in the direction that everyone was searching for.
After the pond returned to its original calm, a face suddenly appeared in a pile of inconspicuous rocks by the river, and in the reflection of the moonlight, this person was the Mu Qing that everyone was looking for.
Mu Qing lay down in the crack of the stone and observed for a long time, and after making sure that there were no villagers nearby, he cautiously leaned out and rushed towards the back mountain.
At this moment, Mu Qing is extremely grateful that there are no modern things such as TVs, computers and mobile phones in this era, otherwise with her modern eyesight, she would be as blind in such a dark night. Thanks also for this dark night, otherwise she would have been exposed.
When she just fled, she was a little panicked at first, and she did flee in the direction that everyone was chasing now, but where was her footsteps comparable to those men who worked all year round, listening to the voices of the people chasing behind her getting closer and closer, Mu Qing was in a hurry, and a flash of inspiration came out, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest other party. So, under the cover of night, she turned around, and soon returned to the pond, and found a place to hide.
As it turned out, she was right in her decision! She really escaped the tracking of those people. At this moment, Mu Qing actually had a feeling of escaping!
Her money was hidden behind the brick in the room, and even if she had to run away, she wouldn't have it without it. In case she encounters something like that, and then sells her to a place like an embroidery building, at that time she really calls the sky and the earth to be ineffective. If she has money, she has confidence, she can go to the town to find a place to live first, and slowly inquire about going to other towns. She can't stay in Tianshui Town, because it's too close to Tianjia Village, and people in the village will go there to catch the market, and she may be exposed at some point.
No, she'll have to find a way to get the money back before she can escape! Thinking of this, Mu Qing stopped, and rushed towards the village with a turn of her toes.
There was a commotion in the village tonight, Mu Qingdong hid in Tibet, and finally avoided everyone and successfully returned home. I saw that the door was open, the lights of the hall were on, and as soon as I entered the courtyard, I could hear the voice of Chen coaxing Tian Laibao in a soft voice, mixed with the sound of Tian Laibao whimpering.
Mu Qing stood in the dark and listened for a long time, until Xiao Laibao's crying disappeared, she moved her numb legs and went to her room in the dark.
There was a creak, which was tantamount to a loud bang in the silent night, and Chen's figure reflected in the candle light on the window lattice froze for a moment, and then the low voice of coaxing the child sounded again.
Mu Qing's body was also stiff, and when he saw that there was no movement in the hall, he put down the heart he was carrying, raised his feet and walked into the house, and cleaned up in the dark.
There are only two clothes, in addition to the one on her body, there is another one that she changed from Tian Dalang's clothes to a smaller one. Mu Qing took out a cloth bag from the box in the dark, put away a piece of clothing placed at the head of the bed, and then pried up the wall tiles and pulled out the purse containing money inside.
After carefully touching the copper plate inside, Mu Qing quietly walked out of the room again with his baggage.
The lights in the hall kept on, and Chen's figure was reflected on the window lattice, Mu Qing's eyes looked in the direction of the hall for a while before he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, turned around and left quickly.
With a slight creak, Chen propped up the window, looked at the empty courtyard, and blew out the candle with a pop.
That night, most of the people in Tianjia Village did not fall asleep. The group of strong laborers who went out to look for Mu Qing did not return to the village until the second half of the night. When we returned to the village, there was another uproar and noise. Chen was lying on the bed tossing and turning, her heart was very conflicted, on the one hand, she felt that Mu Qing had harmed her son, even if she was caught, she would be innocent; But on the other hand, she always remembered the days when Mu Qing stayed at home, and she got along with Noble. Chen has been watching from the sidelines these days, although she doesn't want to see Mu Qing, she has to admit that Mu Qing is really good to Noble.
