Chapter Seventy-Six: The Thief

was carried to the carriage, all the way to the outside of the capital, Yuan Niang smiled bitterly, I don't want to be a concubine, but let them work hard to mobilize the people, is it good or not?

In the carriage, in addition to Lan Mei still serving on the side, there were also two girls sent by the Dou family, Dongxue and Chunhua, the two of them sat there in a regular manner, silent, Lan Mei thought of Yuyan's mother and daughter who were beaten to death by the disruptive stick, and she didn't dare to speak.

I didn't want the carriage to go out of the city, and the body shook and stopped.

The mother-in-law outside also hurriedly came to report, "Cousin, the wheel has fallen into the pit, and she is ordering someone to lift it out." ”

Yuan Niang closed her eyes, pretending not to hear it, Dongxue took over the words, "Order people to hurry up, don't delay the hour, get Zhuangzi before dark." ”

The mother-in-law outside responded, and then heard the voice of the guards outside, very noisy, but Yuan Niang just likes this, the more things the better, when she opened her eyes, she saw that Dongxue's face flashed with anxiety.

"The car is so heavy, why don't we all go down, so that we can hurry up." As Yuan Niang spoke, she paid attention to Dongxue's expression.

Seeing her expression, her voice was gentle, "The cousin just sits in the car, and it's almost time to think about it." ”

Yuan Niang smiled lightly, but couldn't help but sneer, "Grandmother Uncle is really good to me, even her own Zhuangzi came out to let me recuperate, I really don't know what will happen when I hear this news outside?" ”

Dong Xue's face stiffened, "Cousin is polite, this is what the old lady should do." ”

Yuan Niang sneered, but she didn't speak.

In the passage of time, the carriage still stopped in place, Chunhua pulled the winter snow, and the winter snow got up and got out of the carriage, only to see that the guards outside were covered in mud, and even a few mothers-in-law were also mud, and the wheels were still in the mud, as if they were sinking deeper and deeper.

"What can I do? It's better to let the cousin come down first," there is a mother-in-law in front of Dongxue.

Dongxue wrung her eyebrows, thinking that she had refuted her cousin's words before, and now that she 、、、 forget it, what kind of face does she need as a slave, to put it nicely, they are favored people around the old lady, and if they don't listen to it, they are just a slave everywhere.

She walked to the front of the car, "Cousin, get out of the car and rest first." ”

"It's cold outside, but it's still warm in the car, and our girl won't go down." It was Lan Mei who spoke on her behalf.

Dong Xue held her breath in her chest, but said in a low voice, "Cousin, this cart is stuffed into the mud, girl come down, maybe you can lift it better." ”

The mother-in-law outside didn't dare to make a sound, but they also understood that this was the cousin girl who was making trouble, and after waiting for a long time, the spring flowers in the car lifted the curtain, "Don't take a stool to pick up the cousin's carriage." ”

Chunhua and Lanmei got off the carriage one after another, and the mother-in-law had already set up the stool, so Yuan Niang got out of the carriage with her body down, and when she got out of the carriage, she deliberately stroked her forehead with her hand.

"What kind of fate do I have, my mother is not close, even if I go out, God will be against me."

Who dared to answer this, even Dongxue and Chunhua didn't dare to speak out to convince them, and they also understood that this cousin was not a master to be messed with, whether she could be messed with or not.

Yuan Niang helped Lan Mei to the side and the mother-in-law set up the chair under the tree, although there was a tree in the way, but in this winter, after sitting for a while, the whole body was thorough.

In winter, there is still a puddle on the road, which is really strange.

Time passed little by little, the wheels seemed to stick to it, no matter how you got it, Dongxue and Chunhua sweated urgently on their foreheads, and finally Chunhua pulled Dongxue, "Why don't you take your cousin forward first, this winter, if you freeze and get sick, how can we explain?" If I can't make it, you can take your cousin and find a place to stay first. ”

Dongxue is also anxious, "That's the only way to do it." ”

When Dongxue looked helpless and lowered her clothes again and again, under the escort of two guards, Yuan Niang and his party went on the road and stepped on the snow, and Yuan Niang's long skirt was covered with snow and mud after a while.

Lan Mei looked distressed, "Girl, if you don't mess with it, let a mother-in-law carry you away, you still have a wound on your head." ”

"It's okay" Yuan Niang didn't have time to think about this, she swept around absentmindedly, and without paying special attention, she couldn't find the imprint of the wheel on the other side.

The thought of a carriage stuck in a mud puddle must have been man-made.

Yuan Niang's heart sank, isn't there a thief?

Don't dare to slack off, Yuan Niang ripped off the fur cloak on her body and handed it to Dongxue, "Put it on, just give it to me when your body is warm." ”

How dare Dongxue, "Cousin, how does this make the slave not cold." ”

Touched in my heart, it seems that this second cousin is also a kind-hearted girl.

Lan Mei is a little strange, she can also see it these days, the girl hates the old lady's itchy teeth, and she didn't give Dongxue and Chunhua a good look along the way, how can she get better at this time.

Receiving the eyes of her master, Lan Mei didn't have time to think about it, so she only took the cloak and took the initiative to step forward, "That is, Sister Dongxue treats our girl as the master, so let's put it on." ”

Ignoring Dongxue's repeated refusals, he put a cloak on Dongxue.

Dongxue's face was embarrassed, and Yuan Niang turned a blind eye, "Let's go, maybe the carriage will catch up in a while." ”

Yuan Niang pulled Lan Mei, walked in front with one foot deep and one foot shallow, walked a few steps and stopped, as if she was losing her temper, "Dongxue, let's go to the front together, let's hold on and walk a little." ”

Dongxue didn't dare to do it, so she hurriedly stepped forward, and was sandwiched between Yuan Niang and Lan Mei, and didn't think much about it, but Lan Mei felt that in this way, it was like the arrival of the master.

This is also the effect that Yuan Niang wants, if there is really a thief, it must be to catch the master, so she did this, hoping to get through the eyes of the thief, on weekdays, Yuan Niang is only a cotton coat, and there are no ornaments on the head, so that the winter snow at this time is draped in a fur cloak, and it is really more like the master than Yuan Niang.

Everyone couldn't go far, only to hear the guards behind them shout, "Who?" ”

Yuan Niang's heart sank, her eyes moved, and she looked into the woods for the sound.

I saw an uproar, five or six people poured out, covering their faces with black cloth, holding a big knife in their hands, their eyes showing a fierce light, no need to guess who it was, the most infiltrating thing was that there were red blood stains on the knife.

People are specialized in robbery, and there are many people, there are only two guards here, three women with weak abdominal muscles, from this point of view, they are not opponents of the other party.

What's more, the guards only guard the courtyard on weekdays, and they are not the opponents of these thieves, and the guards are also afraid, but they still stop in front strongly, "Bold thieves, you can know where this is the family, and you won't retreat." ”

The leader of the thieves laughed, "You don't know which family it is, and you don't know it, you only remember the silver." ”

While shaking the big knife in his hand, "If you are interested, you will hand over the silver, but you can't do it, you are bored, you can find a few chicks to come over and play, and the girl in this boudoir is worth some money." ”

Dongxue's face turned blue when she heard this, "Be bold、、、 you can't do it yet." ”

"The master's courage is not big, you will know in a while" Obviously, the leader regards Dongxue as the master,

Dongxue didn't have time to pay attention to him, so she only pulled Yuan Niang, and Yuan Niang took the first step and said in unison, "Let's run." ”

The voice was extremely low, she couldn't let Dongxue call her master, then wouldn't she be done completely, Dongxue couldn't think of a way, she just nodded, and between the fight between the guards and the thief, the three of them ran into the forest.

Listening to the screams of the guards behind her, and the laughter of the thieves coming from behind her, Yuan Niang was also panicked, she didn't expect these two guards to be so unbeaten, and she thought that she could drag on for a while.

"Little lady," there was another burst of laughter from the thieves, apparently chasing after them.

"Split up." Yuan Niang glanced at Lan Mei, who bit her lower lip and nodded.

Dongxue has no choice at this time, and now only by running separately can he have a chance of survival, otherwise he is afraid that he will be caught by thieves.

When she fled secretly, Yuan Niang had already explained to Lan Mei, only ran to a place with many bushes, where the vitality was great, and now in distress, Lan Mei didn't want to be separated from the master, but when she thought of what the master said, she understood that it was the best way to save herself, otherwise it would be more difficult for people to get out of life together.

After all, they ran out first, and then ran all the way fast, and the woods became darker and darker the further they went, and there were bushes everywhere, and their bodies were hidden, and it was not easy to be discovered.

Hearing the sound behind her getting farther and farther away, Yuan Niang dared to turn around and swept the footprints she stepped on with her sleeves, and it seemed that there were really no footprints here from a distance, and then she went around another big circle, returned to the place with footprints, and stepped all the way in the opposite direction.

While waiting, the sweat all over her body receded, a gust of wind blew, Yuan Niang had a cold war, and she didn't know what happened to Lan Mei and Dong Xue, anyway, she taught the two of them, but Dong Xue was wearing a cloak, and the thief's target was her, after all, she caught a subordinate, and she couldn't exchange any silver for her family.

I don't know how long it took, I finally heard a voice talking, slowly getting closer, as if it wasn't a person, and then I heard Dongmei's voice, "Let go of me, let go of me." ”

The thief laughed, "When your family takes the silver, the master will let you go, the eldest lady is still quieter at this time, otherwise don't blame the master's subordinates for being ruthless." ”

One sentence was really good, so that Dongxue was silent.

Yuan Niang sneered in her heart, Dongxue is really smart, if the thief knows that she is not a young lady but a subordinate, I am afraid that it will be another fate at this time.

After a while, I heard another person turn back, "The footprints were broken halfway, and no one was seen." ”

"Forget it, anyway, I caught the master, in this deep mountain and old forest, a girl raised in a house can't live." Listening to the footsteps getting farther and farther, Yuan Niang didn't dare to move.

It wasn't until it got dark and the wolf howl could be heard in the distance, Yuan Niang took a deep breath and sat up, only to find that her whole body was numb from the cold, she softened her hands for a while, and then got up from the snow pit, squatting along the way, looking for her footprints when she came and walked out.
