09 Ye Chengcheng, who is an old mother
After the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, Ye Chengcheng let Longyu take a nap for a while, and it was not until the early hours of the morning that she took Longyu out of the firewood room and crept out.
The wee hours of the morning are the most sleepy hours for people.
Because of the need to find the two of them, the mansion tossed up and down for an afternoon and half a night, everyone was exhausted, and they really couldn't find any trace of the two of them and had to come back to sleep, and this sleep was very dead.
However, Ye Chengcheng still carefully pulled Longyu and walked out.
She pulled out a patch of grass under the base of the wall in the garden, revealing a dog's hole, "Get out of here." ”
Longyu was very reluctant to see that it was a dog hole, but now there was no way to escape, so he could only grit his teeth and get out of the hole.
The cave was very small, and if Longyu and Ye Chengcheng were a little bigger, it would be difficult to pass through.
Longyu stood in the deserted street with a little excitement, unable to believe that he had escaped.
"What a surprise!" Ye Chengcheng dragged Longyu and motioned for him to hide quickly. "Do you know what happens if a fugitive is discovered?" She frightened.
In fact, she doesn't know what the consequences are, but she has never eaten pork, she has always seen pigs run, and anyone who has read ancient history knows that none of the slaves who escape and are captured will end well.
Last time, she was lucky, although she lost half her life, but she had a beautiful face of value so that she would not be cut off her feet or something. If it is discovered this time, it must not be as good as last time.
Ye Tingcheng pulled Longyu and walked into the darkness.
The two of them hid near the city gate, and Ye Chengcheng found that the ancient city gate would be closed at night.
The city wall is very high, if you don't use tools, you can't climb it, there are still people guarding the city wall, if you want to pass through without being discovered, Ye Chengcheng asked himself if he didn't have that ability now.
In the series, there is one set, and the reality is another, her current body is only twelve or thirteen years old, and she doesn't know any so-called martial arts, so she can only wait for the door to open at dawn if she wants to get to the other side of the wall.
It's just that the two of them are now fugitive slaves, so naturally they can't swagger out of the city gate, Ye Chengcheng has observed before, the towns here are all border cities, and there will be officers and soldiers to check everything that goes in and out, and they don't have anything on them that can prove their identity, and it's not so simple to get out of the city. Ye Chengcheng saw that there was still some time before dawn, so he simply dragged Longyu around the city. Sure enough, as she thought, near another city gate, she found a carriage pulling night incense.
The carriage was filled with vats filled with incense collected in the evening, and as soon as the gates were opened, they were pulled out of the city to be used as fertilizer.
Ye Tingcheng frowned, his heart was crossed, and he dragged Longyu to grit his teeth and open the cylinder head, covering his nose and jumping in. The tank was very large, and the filthy excrement in it was mixed with water, and Ye Tingcheng suddenly felt that his luck was really good...... If they were full, they would have been suffocated in the dung before they could be transported out of the city.
It's really not a place for people...... Ye Tingcheng resisted the urge to gag and waited patiently.
Not long after, she and Longyu heard the sound of talking outside, and the carriage began slowly.
The exit from the city was very smooth, and the officers and soldiers who opened the city gate were already very familiar with the man pulling the carriage, and when they saw him coming, they said hello, and then immediately covered their noses and let them go.
After waiting out of the city gate, Ye Tingcheng and Longyu slipped down at a gap and quietly jumped out of the carriage while the night was dark.
The two of them took refuge in the grass on the side of the road, glanced at each other, and both of them made an expression of wanting to vomit, it was so stinky! Two people, you dislike me, I dislike you, and then go find a place to clean yourself.
Kuizhou is the place where the three countries meet, and their identity is a fugitive slave, this Rouran can't go, and if she goes to be caught, then it is really the sad mother who opens the door to the sad urge, and the sad urge arrives home. Kuizhou is the territory of Daqi, and the people who bought them are rich businessmen of Daqi, and Daqi can't squat, so the only place they can go is Daliang, so Ye Chengcheng looked up at the stars in the sky, identified the way to Daliang, and ran towards the boundary of Daliang with Longyu.
When they arrived at Daliang, they didn't dare to enter the town, so Ye Chengcheng found a mountain forest close to the border town to live in.
Having learned to survive in the wilderness in modern times, it is really a piece of cake for living in this ancient mountain forest.
The mountains and forests in early autumn are full of treasures.
She first built a simple tree hut on a low tree out of the wood she had scavenged, in case she lived on the ground from being attacked by wild beasts or something. The so-called tree house is a nice saying, that is, it is built between several trees with wood and tied with vines, so that people will not roll down so easily when they sleep on it.
As for food, don't worry at all, you can find food everywhere in the mountains and forests.
She and Longyu hid in the mountains and forests for nearly three months, and the rest was fine, but the clothes on their bodies really couldn't stand the toss. The red yarn inside itself has long been dilapidated, and even the clothes of the family outside have been scraped because there are many branches in the mountains and forests.
After a month of getting along, Ye Tingcheng found that Longyu actually didn't know anything, everything was learned from scratch, she asked Longyu more than once what his background was, and he was always very stubborn and never mentioned it.
After asking a few times and not being able to ask, Ye Tingcheng didn't bother to ask again.
When he is willing to say it, he will naturally say it.
Ye Tingcheng used the traps she set to catch a lot of small animals such as rabbits, and sometimes with good luck, she could catch some deer and wild sheep, the meat was naturally roasted and eaten by them, but the skin was peeled off, Ye Tingcheng collected a lot of animal skins and prepared to take them to the market to exchange some necessary things for life, especially the clothes on her body.
It's been two months, the trees in the mountains and forests have begun to turn yellow, the leaves keep falling, and seeing that winter is coming, she and Longyu are often frozen at night and have to rely on each other to keep warm. Ye Chengcheng can only say that the autumn of Daliang is too cold.
Ye Chengcheng divided the animal skin into two parts. One for her own use, and the other for more, she packed it with straw rope and carried it on her back.
She and Longyu both had slave marks on their backs, and their clothes were already in tatters, so she carefully told Longyu not to be seen with the marks on their backs.
She smeared her and Longyu's faces with mud, messed up her long hair, and covered half of her face, and then walked out of the mountains and forests with Longyu and the animal skins.
I had also been out of the mountain a few times before, in order to exchange salt and rice and a little bit of necessities of life, but they only dared to exchange things with the villagers under the mountain at that time, so it was the first time to enter the city, and Longyu also picked up a load of firewood.
The two came to the market, first observed for a while, and found that no one noticed them, and then they entered the city with confidence.
There are large gatherings in the town on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and people from the surrounding villages will come to catch the market, which Ye Chengcheng inquired about by the way when he exchanged things with the villagers before. The market here is not small, and a lot of agricultural products will be traded here and then shipped to Kuizhou City to change hands again. Ye Tingcheng's animal skins and Longyu's firewood were bought after a while, and the price was relatively satisfactory to Ye Tingcheng.
She used the money from the sale to buy some necessities, and in winter, the tree house would be very cold at night, so she had to plan ahead. Ye Chengcheng had already found a cave, and in the past few days, she and Longyu have been slowly cleaning the cave to make it habitable. She bought some cloth, some needlework, and a pot and a few bowls. He also sold a small table and two stools from leather from a man who had replaced old furniture, although they were old for people's use, but they looked very sturdy.
With these trophies, Ye Tingcheng and Longyu bought an old flatbed cart to pull the things, and returned to the mountains satisfied.
Because winter is coming, Ye Chengcheng worked harder to catch the small beasts in the mountains. She had also set traps around the cave, and though they had not seen any large beasts in the three months they had been in the mountains, they had heard their roars at night.
Ye Chengcheng was afraid that when winter came, there would be a lack of food, and they would take themselves and Longyu as hunting targets.
Longyu learned a lot of things with Ye Tingcheng, and he also knew how to help Ye Tingcheng dig traps, he was very smart, he could learn everything as soon as he saw it, and he understood that this helped Ye Tingcheng save a lot of things.
She kept accumulating food for the winter, and the cave was on the wall of a small stream, so there was no need to store clean water, and even if the water froze in winter, it could melt away by taking the ice back and heating it.
Ye Chengcheng hunted during the day, and at night he used the bonfire in the cave to mend it. Longyu was responsible for digging traps, protecting the cave and collecting firewood. In winter, the weather is cold, especially in the mountains, and a lot of firewood is needed to keep warm.
Longyu needlework can't help Ye Tingcheng, but he still works hard to learn by Ye Tingcheng's side.
Ye Tingcheng sewed two small jackets with rabbit skin, and covered the outside with a thick cloth bought from the bazaar, and the rabbit's soft fur was worn inside, which was light and warm.
She cut some fur and stuffed it into her shoes to make two pairs of cloth shoes. As for the pants, Ye Qingcheng sewed the knees of the pants with leftover fur, which played a role in keeping warm.
She also accidentally hunted a few foxes, the fox meat is too sassy to eat, but the fur is very valuable. This is a small fortune, she counted the money she made from selling fox skins, and her smiling mouth almost grinned at the root of her ears. She originally wanted to take Longyu to the market for a good meal, but because the two of them were now fugitive slaves, she didn't dare to be too embarrassed, but bought some delicious food and brought it back to the cave to share with Longyu.
Sure enough, people want clothes, and Longyu looks more handsome when he wears new clothes, plus he has a good temperament, and he is a handsome guy who lives out.
Longyu is obviously also very happy, after getting along with Ye Tingcheng for a few months, although he is still very awkward, he is very dependent on Ye Tingcheng. He knew in his heart that if it weren't for the girl in front of him who looked so weak, he wouldn't have survived until now without being captured, and he would still be alive and well.
Several times when he looked at Ye Tingcheng, he would feel that it would be good if he lived with her in the mountains and forests for the rest of his life.
It's just that....... He pursed his lips slightly, he still has to get out of here one day, he still has a lot of things to do, and there is still revenge to be avenged.
Seeing that Longyu was very happy one moment, but the next moment his face changed, Ye Tingcheng thought that he carelessly left the sewing needle on Longyu's clothes, and now he poked him. In fact, she lost two needles when she sewed her clothes...... Ye Chengcheng is also very careless sometimes.
"Did you get poked? Take it off and I'll take a look. Ye Chengcheng said with guilt, and after speaking, she walked in front of Longyu and looked up at him.
This kid is really good, I remember that when I ran away with him, he seemed to be about the same height as myself, but now it has only been two or three months, and he seems to be more than half a head taller than himself.
Ye Chengcheng suddenly felt a feeling that my family had a child who had just grown up.
Then Ye Chengcheng was embarrassed, is she becoming more and more handy as an old mother?
