CHAPTER XXXVI

The next day, looking for an opportunity, Chen Simian quietly conveyed Chen Fuyue's meaning to Chen Qi, and when Chen Qi heard this, he nodded expressionlessly.

Chen Simian's eyebrows jumped, and he asked uneasily: "What method are you going to use?" ”

“......”

"Don't really do what Madame says."

“......”

"Just find some gentle way to send people out!"

“......”

No matter what she said, Chen Qi was wearing an ice cube face, his thoughts did not leak out of anywhere at all, Chen Simian was extremely helpless, since he didn't react, she could only turn around and leave one step at a time.

At the same time, Ji Liu also calculated the time at home, preparing to leave tomorrow and go to Zhaofeng, during this time, she prepared a lot of dry goods for Ji Mou, so that he could live without worry, and also prepared the items needed for travel.

In a few days, the relationship between Ji and her has not been eased, and that night, she once again took away the rice bowl in front of Ji's door, hesitated for a moment, and finally said inside: "I will leave for the county seat tomorrow, I don't know how long it will take to leave this time, the food prepared for you is in the kitchen, you can see it when you go in." ”

Ji didn't reply, she continued: "I'll take some of the money, and the rest is still surplus, you don't have to save too much......"

After explaining everything, she stood at the door for a long time, listening attentively, expecting a certain sentence to be remembered "return safely" from inside, but in the end, no one responded, and the disappointed hope forced her to return to the house and it was difficult to feel at ease.

Ji Liu's eyes looked at the beam, and after much thought, she finally decided that before leaving home, she would say hello to the village chief and ask them to help take care of Ji, and then she fell asleep.

Xu thought it was too late, and when she opened her eyes again, the sky was bright, Ji Liu hurriedly got up and cleaned up, the salute had been all packed last night, she only needed to take care of herself, and she could go out.

With a burden on her shoulders, she pulled the door once, only to hear the "jingle bells!" outside. After two sounds, it was not opened, and then he was surprised: "Why is the door locked?!" ”

Ji Liu did not give up, and kept pulling the wooden door, no matter how strong she was, she was always no match for the two big locks hanging on the chains.

When she was knocked to the ground by the force of the wooden door pushing back, she could no longer restrain the despair that had been suppressed for days, she lay on the side of the door, her voice was hoarse, and shouted to Ji: "Grandpa, open the door and let me out!" Let me out! ”

Over and over again, the words shouted out seemed to sink into the sea, there was no response, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

After that, the two of them seemed to get along in the opposite way, and when it came to the meal, Ji would untie the chains, put it in the meal, and then close it immediately, without any communication during the whole process.

In the middle, Ji Liu did not resist fiercely, she would stare at Ji Mou's figure when he came in, even if Ji Mou locked the door again, she would not take her eyes away for a moment.

After nightfall, a deafening snoring sound came from the next room.

This whole day, Ji Liu either ate or slept, nourished her spirits, and at the moment she was even more radiant, she waited patiently in Ji Mou's snoring until her voice gradually lowered and her snoring was even.

She immediately sat up, took off the lotus bell on her ankle, tiptoed to the only window of the hut, and took out a dagger from her arms, which was mixed in the middle of a pile of gifts brought by Zhao Zhuang, saying that Wen Yuecheng specially confessed and gave it to her for self-defense, who knew that the first time she used it was to pry the window.

Although the door can be closed with chains, Ji Liu specially installed a lock pin outside the window in order to facilitate going out, and the wooden pin was nailed on by herself.

Remembering the dagger that was inserted into the crack of the window little by little, I listened to the "creak!" in the dark! It was as if a mouse was gnawing on the wood, and in a few moments, she felt a wave of resistance, and the lock pin outside the window was pushed, and Ji Liu neatly pushed the window open.

"I'm sorry, I have to go! Wait until I get back! She stepped out of the window, listened to Ji's slight words, silently thought in her heart, and then stepped on the road to the county without looking back.

When her figure almost completely merged with the night, a deep male voice broke the silence: "Why do you bother doing this?!" The man, dressed in a black cloak and shaped like a ghost, suddenly appeared behind the thin old man.

Ji Mou, who should have been asleep, didn't move, just stood stiffly, his eyes glowed in the dark night, like the fangs of a lone wolf, looking at the back of Ji Liu running to the back mountain, and stumbling from time to time: "Stinky girl, don't even look back." ”

"Since you are reluctant, what rear window do you leave for her?" The middle-aged man was helpless, he obviously saw Ji holding a stone brick in his hand, standing under the window for a long time without moving, but if he made a wooden bar again, where could Ji Liu escape through the window.

Ji was punctured in his mind, and his hair exploded instantly, and he questioned this person's emotional intelligence: "Don't be nosy!" ”

"......" The middle-aged manly anger was straightforward: "You know that it is best to involve her, and the Chen family will inevitably help." ”

"You proposed the plan, and now, you're soft-hearted?!"

The two of them glared angrily, only to feel that the cold wind was biting, and the frost and dew fell on their shoulders, and the bones were faintly sore under the cold air, but the man in front of him was not affected.

As he grew older, Ji became more and more inadequate, and after calming down, he was silent and returned to the house alone.

The man followed him all the way, and only after he sat down did he say the words that had been held in his heart for ten years: "You should go with me!" ”

"Wait!" Ji blurted out, replied, and then raised his head to look at the face in the bronze mirror, and muttered, "Wait for her to come back!" ”

Seeing him like this, the man sighed: "Tomorrow they will set off, and it won't take long." After speaking, without waiting for a certain reaction, he left his house in the dark.

Ji Liu walked far away before she dared to look back, her and Ji's homes were buried between the rows of earthen houses in Lotus Village, and a few of them were still burning candles, dotted in the dark, like fireflies close to the crowd and playing around.

When she arrived in Zhaofeng County, it was already the early morning of the second day, and it was not yet dawn, Ji Liu leaned against the wall and looked at the porter dozing off, she hesitated for a moment and decided not to disturb them at this time, so she sat down on the spot and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Her nerves were tense, and she opened her eyes as soon as someone passed by her.

Although it was not bright at this time, they could also see the face of the gatekeeper in the distance, and when Ji Liu stepped forward, they laughed: "Ji girl! What are you doing here? ”

"Two big brothers, is Master Sheng in the yamen?" During the questioning, Ji Liu was apprehensive, Wen Yuecheng said that since the verdict of the case, the prisoner would be sent to the capital for trial in half a month at the latest.

Sheng Li also needs to go to the state capital two days in advance, and join the convoy escorting Ding Chen, Lin Lin has calculated that in just these two days, he will leave, Ji Liu is worried that the time card is too dead, and he misses.

Today is Li Mu on duty, he heard Liu mention the grand ceremony, his eyes lit up for a moment, and said, "He is not here." ”

After he finished speaking, Ji Liu's face instantly collapsed, Li Mu seemed to have seen something funny, and his smile was even greater: "Sheng Yu is about to return to the Sheng Mansion two days ago, and after he came back from the hospital, he was taken back by the head of the Sheng family." ”

"......" Jiliu's expression changed from expectation to loss, and then from loss to excitement, the change was only in an instant, the expression on her face did not have time to change, and finally froze into a slightly raised face, she said: "Then can Brother Li know when Sheng Yu will escort Li Yu to the state capital?" ”

Li Mu saw that she was here for the ceremony, and it really reflected the thoughts that Wenyue City had instilled in them for many days, and he smiled out of sight: "It's just a coincidence, when Sheng Yu comes to take up his post, he will set off today." ”

As he spoke, he also introduced her into the main hall of the inner courtyard of the yamen, and after serving a cup of hot tea, he confessed and left.

Xu is destined to be suitable for reading the script today, as soon as Li Mu returned to the yamen, he saw Sheng Li hurriedly walking in the distance, his eyes just opened, and in an instant, there was only a gap left, and he hurriedly caught up: "Sheng Yu quickly, guess, who is looking for you today?" ”

The cheerful expression fell in Sheng Li's eyes, like a magpie building a nest, Sheng Li couldn't bear to brush off his kindness, so he asked, "Who?" ”

"Remember the girl! Haha, I didn't expect that! When Li Mu spoke, his face was still filled with an expression of waiting for praise.

"Really?" Sheng Li couldn't believe it, and meeting Ji Liu again offset his resentment at being humiliated, but in an instant, he said calmly: "Miss Ji is here for Li Yu's case, right?" ”

According to the relationship between the two, it is understandable that Ji Liu came here to give her a ride.

Sheng Li buried the joy in his heart, sped up his pace and walked towards the county office, just took a few steps, was pulled, only to see Li Mu circle around him, patted off the dirt on Sheng Li's shirt, and sighed: "Sheng Catch fast, who is so bold!" Dare to kick you in the ass and tell the little ones to avenge you now! ”

Sheng Li reacted at this time, when he climbed the dog hole, his body was too big, he was stuck at the entrance of the cave and couldn't get out, and he was kicked by Chen Qi in front of his ass.

“...... Accidentally fell. ”

Seeing that Li Mu wanted to mention it again, he hurriedly interrupted: "Aren't you talking about the girl?" How's that for me? ”

"Yes, yes, Miss Ji is still waiting in the house, you go quickly." Li Mu pointed him in the direction of the willow, and under the strong signal of Sheng Li's eyes, he returned to the gate of the county government, and performed his duties as a concierge conscientiously and conscientiously.

Sheng Li came to the hall alone, he carefully inspected his coat, patted all the suspicious stains that existed, and then walked in, and said, "Remember the girl." ”

Ji Liu looked out of the house, because she had a request for others, she smiled flatteringly, she poured a cup of hot tea for Sheng Li, and said her intention: "My lord, the people want to go to the capital with you." ”

"No," Sheng Li understood his intentions, so he had to find an excuse to refuse: "The convoy escorting the prisoners is all men, and your girl's family follows us all day long, and it is not a proper system." ”
