6. No choice (4th shift)

County Northern Song Dynasty?

Baishan had heard this name, and it seemed that the family had moved here from the north at the beginning of this year, and there were not many people when they came, but it was also a carriage with a lot of baggage, and it traveled in the snow.

At that time, the county order went out to greet each other in person, which was enough to see that the background of the Song family was not simple.

But what the Song family does, Bai Shan doesn't know, and he has nothing to do with this family, after all, one is a mud leg, and the other is a big master.

The short-lived daughter of the head of the Song family?

Bai Shan thought about it, he had never heard of it, and he didn't have the slightest impression.

He followed Bai Miaochan across the Green Willow Bridge, suddenly thought of something, and paused.

Bai Miaochan was like a roundworm in his heart, and said softly: "What, you also want to be a son-in-law?" ”

Bai Shan said: "I want to go, but people can't pick me yet."

But if it does, I'm willing.

What the Song family wants should be to find a husband for the girl, accompany the girl on her last journey, and wait until the girl dies, and she is not allowed to marry the second room... None of this has anything to do with me.

But my siblings can live a good life, so that's fine. ”

At the same time, I also have the resources to cultivate.

He silently added in his heart.

Bai Miaochan smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be presumptuous, although you look boring, you are very delicate, and if you clench your fists, you can still have muscles bulging, some girls like you."

Why don't you try it? The girl might fall in love with you. ”

Bai Shan smiled and said, "It's weird." ”

The conversation between the two is just a daily joke.

Between talking and laughing, the time seemed to have become shorter, and soon, the sister and brother came to the front of the red tile lane in the west of the county.

Bai Miaochan looked at the first one at the entrance of the alley, it was still early, so the candles in the house were still on.

"Wait for me under this tree."

"Well, there you go."

Bai Shan answered, leaning his hands against the tree, facing the sky.

Not far away, Bai Miaochan's voice suddenly came from the ground, "The tree is damp, don't be next to it." ”

Bai Shan smiled and straightened up again.

In the distance, Bai Miaochan stood under the moon and waved at him again, then turned around and ran happily towards the old woman's house.

Bai Shan watched the eldest sister being welcomed into the door by an old woman, so he withdrew his gaze, and then waited quietly.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Bai Shan couldn't help but think: If Sister Miaomiao is successful, this crisis will be solved.

But what if it doesn't work?

He clenched his fists.

A speck of dust spilled by the powerful at will, falling on ordinary people, is also an unbearable weight.

This is the way of the world.

After half an hour, the door in the distance seemed to open, Bai Miaochan held the old woman's hand, and the two walked out of the house while laughing and saying something.

Bai Shan breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the atmosphere, it should be done, right?

He didn't step forward either, and continued to wait.

Bai Miaochan walked out of the yard, and the old woman closed the door.

The girl walked briskly and came to the young man's side, revealing a little decadent.

Bai Shan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't it work out?" ”

Bai Miaochan let go of her five fingers, revealing the small gourd she was holding inside, obviously the thing was not sent out, she pursed her lips and said, "It's not that it didn't work out, it's just that the old woman said she wanted to think about it." ”

Bai Shan asked, "What did you say to her?" ”

Bai Miaochan said: "At first, we chatted very happily, and then when we talked about recognizing my stepmother, the old woman seemed to understand something and asked me what trouble I was in. I said that the Lu family wanted to buy me, and you... There was a little argument with the servants of the Lu family, and they were stopped from coming in to rob people.

The old woman understood when she heard me say this, but she said that she would think again and give me an answer in two days. ”

Bai Shan was stunned for a moment and said, "No, it will be too late in two days." ”

Bai Miaochan's face showed urgency, and she said: "Oh, I know, but I think the old woman doesn't want to bother her son, or she wants to communicate with her son about this matter first, which is also understandable." ”

Bai Shan said: "Bai Miaochan, I understand what you say. But we couldn't wait two days. Tomorrow morning at the latest, the Lu family didn't wait for the swordsman to go back, so they would definitely come over to make trouble. If we meet the Lu family, then everything is over. ”

Bai Miaochan said: "Okay, okay, I'll beg her." ”

As she spoke, the girl thought about it again.

Who hasn't done such a thing in a beggar's den? Don't talk about begging people, even begging, what's not to do?

It's just that just now she was afraid that the old woman would see that something was wrong and refuse directly, so she didn't ask anxiously, but just pretended to be worried.

The girl thought about her words, and ran into the old woman's house with a smiling face.

Moments later, she returned.

Bai Shan asked, "How is it?" ”

Bai Miaochan said: "The old woman is a good person, but she has no way to make her own decisions, she... She will give us an answer as soon as tomorrow evening. I think she should have a special contact with Captain Zhao, such as flying pigeons. But tomorrow night should already be the shortest time it takes for her and County Lieutenant Zhao to complete an exchange. ”

Bai Shan fell silent.

Bai Miaochan also sighed.

Both were hesitant.

But the matter has been fraught with many uncertainties.

For example, whether Zhao Huaiyue will agree to his mother to accept a righteous daughter.

If yes, then... The two of them will work hard to find a way to survive tomorrow daytime.

But if you don't agree, then by this time tomorrow night, it will be a dead end for the two, and there will be no chance for the better.

But if you ignore the old woman's side and leave Taohua County directly, the bandits and demons along the way will make them die for life, even if they really go to other counties, they are very likely to face wanted, and the rest of their lives will be restless.

It's a fork in the road shrouded in fog, and every road is a gamble, but if you lose the bet, there's nothing.

Bai Shan suddenly said: "I want to go to the Song family." ”

Bai Miaochan looked up in surprise: "Huh? ”

Bai Shan said: "Didn't you say that I have hope?

Since I have, I'll have to try...

As long as she is chosen tonight, the crisis will be solved, and the old woman here will not let go.

If we hadn't been chosen, we would have fled Taohua County overnight.

I don't put my hope in anyone else. ”

When Bai Miaochan heard this, her pretty face was stunned, and then she said softly: "Okay, okay, you are the man of the family after all, and this matter is up to you." ”

After that, she jumped away again, stood far away, looked at Baishan carefully, approached again, tiptoed his hair, and then supported her elbows and said, "It's still quite handsome, but it's missing a pair of clothes."

Not... You wait. ”

Saying that, she turned around again, ran into the old woman's house, and returned not long after, this time back, she had a scholar uniform with a white background and a deep collar, a blue-black square scarf, and a pair of cyan boots, she handed it over and said: "Baishan, quickly change it on, this is what the old woman lent me, and her son used to wear." You just happened to be writing letters for someone, and your face was delicate, and you just wore a scholar's uniform. ”

Bai Shan saw that she really took out her clothes, and knew in her heart that the old woman was afraid that she was really treating Sister Miaomiao, if it was usually fine, but now, the old woman knew that Bai Miaochan had provoked the Lu family here, but she was still willing to borrow clothes, instead of avoiding them, this is already true feelings.

Baishan didn't hold it big, and directly undressed and changed clothes.

The two of them have been together for a long time, and there is still no need to avoid this suspicion.

After changing it in, Bai Miaochan gave him a lot of makeup and dressing up, combing his hair, and taking out the scholar's scarf for him to wear.

After a while, it's finally good.

Bai Miaochan looked at him, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's really like a champion." ”

Bai Shan also smiled: "I'm afraid that girl has eyes and doesn't know the champion." ”

The two talked and laughed, but both of them were very heavy in their hearts.

They all know... If not, then what follows is an endless journey of escape.
