Chapter 425: Escape
At this time, a maid took out a set of shabby clothes from the cupboard, looked at it and said, "I don't know who threw the torn clothes here, and no one came to clean them up, they are too lazy." With that, she put her clothes back down.
Xue Xiaoyan saw the shabby clothes and attracted attention. She thought about it, then got up and went to the cupboard, and saw that it was a set of men's clothes and hats, and thought about it as she looked at it.
Later, she searched under and below the bed and on the table, looking for something available, but found nothing.
"Miss, the things here are old, what is there to see. Wait until tomorrow, when you go to your new home, take a good look at it. Not only is there a large courtyard, but there are flowers and grass, and there are brand new furniture. If nothing else, there are more than a dozen sets of ready-to-wear clothes, and you can choose from them at will. ”
Xue Xiaoyan didn't listen, and was still thinking about a way to escape.
The maid was urging again: "Miss, take a bath quickly, otherwise the water will be cold." Besides, if the adults come, they will scold us when they see that the young lady is not dressed up. ”
Xiao Yan sighed: "Okay, I'll go first to make it easier, and then wash it when I come back." As she spoke, she secretly stuffed the man's suit and hat into her skirt while the maid was not paying attention.
The two maids were very happy when they saw Xue Xiaoyan change their minds: "Miss, that's right, isn't life just about enjoyment." You followed the magistrate, the powerful and no one dared to mess with, and you were carefree all your life, how good. You are a blessed man, and you should be content. ”
Xue Xiaoyan sighed: "That's right, if you want to be perfect and everything goes well, how can it be, you can't be satisfied." She coped with it on her lips, but scolded in her heart, "If I can marry a beloved, even if I eat chaff vegetables, I won't follow that shameless dog official!"
Indeed, if Xue Xiaoyan followed the magistrate, she would not be good, and the brutal lady would not let her go, and sooner or later she would be killed.
The maid said, "Miss, please wait a moment, I'll bring the bedpan." ”
"No need, I'm not a small solution, it's so inconvenient, besides, it's not dark yet, let's go to the thatched house." Xiao Yan said and walked out of the house.
Seeing that she was no longer sad, the maids relieved themselves and went away alone, serving at any time. She is also taking care of the nobles, afraid that something unexpected will happen.
Xue Xiaoyan put the set of men's clothes on the outside in the thatched house, and put on the hat and lowered it to cover half of her face.
She packed up, quietly looked over, and saw that the maid was teasing a flower cat, and had no idea about it, so she hurriedly left.
She ran to the gate as she dodged, and when she saw a covered carriage stopped in front of her, she immediately stopped, thinking about how to escape from the servants.
At this moment, someone asked: "Brother Gao, it's getting dark, why are you still going out, and where are you going?"
"Go pick up someone. ”
"It's inconvenient to go out at night and drive the carriage. ”
The coachman sighed: "Alas, the county government has come to order, how dare you delay, no matter how dark it is, you have to go." ”
Xue Xiaoyan was worried about the official who couldn't escape the courtyard gate, and when she heard this, her heart moved, and she just took advantage of this to escape. The opportunity was rare, she hurriedly climbed up and hid in the canopy, not even daring to get out of the atmosphere.
The carriage went out of the gate smoothly and left the inn, and Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Still nervous, she wiped the sweat from her head, listened to the movement outside, and prayed to leave the terrifying place soon.
At this moment, someone in the inn shouted, sounding urgent, and then there was a noise.
Xue Xiaoyan was shocked, knowing that the maid had found out that she was missing, and was looking for her in a panic. She was even more frightened, and her heart that had just been stable hung again, afraid that the officials would chase her out and arrest her again.
Fortunately, the coachman was in a hurry, and had no intention of caring about things that had nothing to do with him, so he raised his whip, drove the carriage away, and soon went away.
Night had fallen, and the stars kept blinking. The sound of insects chirping in the open field squeezed into the dark silence.
As he was running, the carriage stopped, and the coachman went to the side of the road to relieve himself.
Xue Xiaoyan was afraid of being discovered, so she didn't dare to hitchhike anymore, so she took the opportunity to climb down. She hid behind a tree on the side of the road and waited for the carriage to leave before getting up.
She finally escaped from the airtight "cage" and got rid of the bullying of the dog officer, and she was very happy and even more fortunate.
After the excitement, Xiao Yan looked at the gloomy night, the blinking stars, the fields of insects, and the faint woods...... Fear immediately came over me.
She was nervous and afraid, and she was fragile and jumping like a rabbit, afraid of encountering beasts and villains, and even more afraid of encountering demons and monsters, and the minions of dog officials. If she does, she will fall into a catastrophe from which she will never recover, and she will not be able to extricate herself.
In the world where bandits and demons are rampant, in the wilderness infested with wild beasts, a young woman walks alone at night, the fear of love, and the danger of things can be imagined.
However, Xiao Yan has no ability to change the terrible reality, and has no choice but to struggle in the terrifying and dangerous night to pray for safety.
Xue Xiaoyan ran around hard despite her fatigue, like a lamb that had escaped from a wolf's den, and fell into endless fear.
She didn't know how far she had gone, and she didn't know where she had gone, but she was glad that she hadn't met the beasts and villains, nor the demons and monsters, nor the officials who were pursuing, so her frightened heart was finally calmer.
She looked at the dark night and the wilderness without the sound of insects, and was no longer so frightened, and was very happy to escape from the terrible "cage" and avoid the terrible people and terrible things.
She was lucky enough to see a nunnery on the way and stayed there for the night.
The next day, Xiao Yan wanted to leave, but fell ill. She was mentally frightened, physically and mentally tortured, weak and cold, and could not afford to be sick.
Xiaoyan was unfortunate and lucky, she fell ill in the nunnery, and under the care of the nuns, she was treated and recuperated for a long time before she recovered.
After Xiaoyan's body recovered, she said goodbye to the relatives-like nuns. She didn't know how far away her hometown was, so she could only tell the general direction, so she ran all the way, like a lonely lamb, struggling to survive.
On this day, Xue Xiaoyan was walking along the road when she suddenly heard someone shouting, as if it was a woman, sounding very anxious.
The road ahead turned a corner, and there were large and small trees, and patches of grass. Here, except for the shouting, it is very quiet, you can't see birds flying, you can't hear insects.
Xiao Yan looked around, and there was no one else but herself. When she knew that something had happened, she was so frightened that she did not dare to flee or move forward, and immediately hid behind a big rock on the side of the road.
The shouting was incessant, and it was terrifying. Xiao Yan was afraid, and she was also anxious about the woman, and she really hoped that someone would help a group of poor people. She looked around, but there was still no one, anxious, and silently lamented.
