The streets are not noisy in the early morning, and there are few people on the streets, except for a few small vendors setting up their stalls.

Tong Xiang and his party were hurrying on the road when they suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind the car.

Doubting in their hearts, they stopped aside.

Who knew that the carriage actually stopped beside them, and just when Tong Xiang was puzzled, Zhao Yiqing suddenly poked his head out of the other carriage.

"Where are you going?"

Tong Xiang saw that it was a familiar face, so he relaxed his vigilance, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a light smile.

"Go on a long journey."

"That's not your style."

If it weren't for something special, Tong Xiang would basically not have left the medicine hall.

Tong Xiang hesitated slightly, but decided to tell the truth, after all, Zhao Yiqing didn't want to see the chaotic situation.

"We're going to go find out the old gentleman and find out about Baihua."

After finishing speaking, Tong Xiang didn't wait for Zhao Yiqing to say anything more, so he asked rhetorically: "What is Zhao Gongzi going to do so early?" ”

Zhao Yiqing's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly returned to his usual appearance.

"Today, in addition to some new products, I wanted to send you a try, but Xiaohua told you that you went out."

Tong Xiang didn't doubt Zhao Yiqing's words, but just nodded slightly.

"Then thank you Zhao Gongzi for your kindness, but this pastry can only be enjoyed after we come back."

Jin Xinyuan, who was sitting in the carriage in a daze, listened to the endless conversation outside, and his eyes came out hazy.

"You can't leave yet, why do you two talk so much?"

When Jin Xinyuan said this, Zhao Yiqing's face was a little unbearable, but the calmness of the adult made him smile.

He chuckled softly and said, "I wonder if I can have the honor to walk with a few people?" ”

"Zhao Gongzi has a lot of opportunities, so don't want it."

Chu Xiao, who had been silent all along, heard this and rejected Zhao Yiqing's request with a smile.

Zhao Yiqing was not annoyed, "Young Master Chu don't refuse so quickly, one more person and one more person to take care of, what do you say, Miss Tong?" ”

After getting along for such a long time, Zhao Yiqing has also figured out the mode of getting along between Chu Xiao and Tong Xiang, as long as Tong Xiang agrees, under normal circumstances, Chu Xiao will not object.

Now in this situation, Tong Xiang seems a little embarrassed, if he agrees, he will inevitably not give Chu Xiao face; If you don't agree, Zhao Yiqing can be regarded as a friend.

Just when Tong Xiang didn't know how to answer, Jin Xinyuan sighed helplessly.

"Why are you so troublesome, Zhao Gongzi, you don't have any research on medicinal materials, what are you going to make a fuss about, I will call you next time I go out to play."

While speaking, Jin Xinyuan also yawned loudly.

"I really don't know what you think, if you don't sleep for a good time, you have to go to some backcountry with us."

After finishing speaking, Jin Xinyuan got into the carriage and went back to sleep.

Tong Xiang never admired Jin Xinyuan more than now, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a shallow smile.

"Zhao Gongzi, I think what Jin Xinyuan said is not unreasonable, you might as well go back and rest first."

Jin Xinyuan has already said this, and Zhao Yiqing still has to follow the past with a dead face, but it seems a little deliberate.

He looked at Tong Xiang and nodded, "Understand, if you need help with anything, just write to me." ”

Seeing off Zhao Yiqing, the three of them continued to hurry, Chu Xiao was driving the carriage outside, Jin Xinyuan fell asleep and went back to sleep, and Tong Xiang held his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Along the way, the three of them did not have any verbal conversation.

In Rende Hall, Jin Xinyue and Xiaoqin were still worried about leaving.

After much discussion, they finally decided to leave through the gate.

For so many years, the two of them were only familiar with the external environment, and the others just listened to Jin Xinyuan casually say a few words.

Jin Xinyue packed her luggage and put it next to the bed, looking a little nervous.

Xiaoqin clasped her hands together and held them in front of her chest, looking panicked.

"Little—miss, are we—really—really—going to leave now?"

Xiaoqin was so nervous that she was even starting to tremble when she spoke.

Jin Xinyue nodded firmly, but she was no better than Xiaoqin, and her words were a little intermittent.

"It's the best time to work in the morning, and if we can't seize this opportunity, it's even harder to get out."

Xiaoqin took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, "Miss, then let's go now." ”

As soon as he thought that his younger brother was still wandering alone outside, Jin Xinyue was full of strength.

She picked up her luggage firmly, took Xiaoqin's hand and walked towards the door, that posture, there was a feeling of seeing death as home.

Walking to the door, Xiaoqin opened the door that they didn't usually open much.

As soon as she came out, she saw a team of nurses walking not far away, so frightened that she hurriedly retracted her head and stared at Jin Xinyue with a frightened expression.

"Miss, it's all family outside."

Jin Xinyue clenched Xiaoqin's hand and muttered, "Don't worry, they shouldn't all know about our existence." ”

After finishing speaking, Jin Xinyue tried his best to calm himself down.

"Xiaoqin, after we went out for a while, they pretended to be the maids who were going home to visit relatives, and they haven't seen us anyway, you know?"

In a tense environment, Jin Xinyue suddenly thought of this most important thing.

I have lived here for so long, and there are not many people in the entire Rendetang who know that they exist, even if they meet the nursing home, what is the problem, as long as they don't meet the people of the grandfather.

Listening to Jin Xinyue's words, Xiaoqin also calmed down a lot.

The two of them took advantage of the fact that there was no one outside the door and hurriedly walked out.

Just as the two of them walked towards the side door, they were suddenly stopped.

"What are you two doing?"

Where did Jin Xinyue and Xiaoqin have this kind of experience, they were stunned for a moment.

Seeing that these two people didn't understand, the nursing home became even more suspicious of their identities, so they walked towards them.

"That is, the two of you, why are you going?"

In the end, Jin Xinyue has also read a lot of books, and at this time he is obviously much calmer than Xiaoqin.

She took Xiaoqin's hand and turned around, lowering her head and not daring to look directly into the eyes of the nursing home.

"The two of us are maids in this yard, and we are going home to visit relatives today."

The nurse obviously didn't believe her words, and stared straight at the two people in front of him, "You guys go back together?" ”

Xiaoqin also reacted at this time, and nodded seriously, "The two of us are from the same village, and we are thinking about going back with our children." ”

"Then why don't you go through the gate?"

There are generally no people in the backyard, except for the people of the Jin family, only those who send medicinal materials are likely to walk around here, and the rest of the people travel through the main gate.

Xiaoqin was speechless for a while, Jin Xinyue had an idea, and slowly walked to the side of the nursing home.

She quietly took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and handed it to the nurse.

"Big brother, this side door is closer to the place where the carriage is hired, you can do it conveniently, we only have two days, and this back and forth is spent on the road."

The nurse looked at the silver in his hand, then at Jin Xinyue and Xiaoqin, and the expression on his face softened slightly.

After a moment of silence, he waved his hand at the two men, "Only this time, let's go." ”

As soon as they heard this, Jin Xinyue and Xiaoqin didn't dare to delay, and disappeared in front of the nursing home as soon as they slipped away.

Seeing that he was about to reach the side door, Jin Xinyue suddenly stopped.

She has been trapped here for so many years, unable to contact the outside world, and she really hates it in her heart.

But suddenly I was leaving, and I was a little reluctant at this time.

Seeing Jin Xinyue stop, Xiaoqin sighed slightly, "Miss, if you regret it now, it's still too late." ”

Although Xiaoqin has not experienced any storms, she can also understand some things, and she knows that one day Jin Xinyuan will return here.

So even if they don't leave at this time, there will always be a day of reunion.

In the morning light, Jin Xinyue looked at the strange and familiar courtyard and shook her head, "Xiaoqin, we can't be trapped here all the time." ”

Xiaoqin has followed Jin Xinyue since she can remember, she has never seen her parents, so she regards Jin Xinyue as her family.

Now that Jin Xinyue is leaving, she naturally follows for no reason.

The two men cautiously pushed open the door and quietly escaped.

In the backyard of Rende Hall, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

As soon as Jin Xinyue and the others left with their front feet, the housekeeper with their back feet walked to Old Man Jin's room.

"Master, Miss has already left."

The old man sat on the Taishi chair, his eyes closed, and the Buddhist beads in his hands rotated regularly.

After being silent for a long time, he let out a slight sigh, "It's time for her to go out and have a look, she has reached the age of Jilu." ”

Listening to the old man's muttering, the butler's eyes were obviously a little lost.

"Master, since you can allow the young master to come out, why did you have such a stiff quarrel with the young master in the first place?"

The old man's face sank suddenly, "That kid is young and vigorous, and it's good to go out and experience more." ”

"What the master said is that the young master still needs to have more experience."

After Jin Xinyue and Xiaoqin left Rendetang, they wandered around the empty street.

Xiaoqin is so big, this is the first time it has come out, so naturally everything is novel.

"Miss, we're finally out."

Although with the help of Jin Xinyuan, Jin Xinyue slipped out a few times, she had never felt this feeling of freedom.

Now she no longer has to worry about being found when she goes back, she doesn't have to worry about someone being implicated by her, and even her smile is brighter than usual.
