It was almost dawn, Chen Miao woke up, and the two quickly packed up and continued to set off.

"There are no boats by the river, and it's useless to go there now."

"Go to a nearby village to inquire, if it doesn't work, let's buy a boat and row it ourselves, otherwise we won't be embarrassed to bother others."

"You seem to be rich."

"Really? I also feel like I'm rich. ”

Chu Ran already knew through getting along with each other that Chen Miao was unwilling to talk about it.

Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's talk about something else.

Zeng Zimo got the news here, and the woman did not disappear in the city.

"The first seat, that means that this is the woman who eloped with Secretary General Chu, not our woman here?"

"What did the innkeeper say about that woman?"

"That woman can speak on our side. Although the tone is a little wrong, he thinks he is a local. ”

"Hmm. Isn't there any news now? ”

"Nope. They didn't know when Secretary General Chu and the two of them left. ”

"Let them find some clues as soon as possible."

"Yes."

He was left alone in the office. "You're lucky that no one found out when you left."

In the evening, the two entered the village this time. It's really satisfying to have a hot kang head to sleep on.

It's still two days away from the river, which is quite a long way to go. The temperature is still acceptable, but it's still uncomfortable.

Leave early the next day. "Ma'am, do you think we can cross the river?"

"Absolutely."

"Okay, you just have to be so confident."

"Of course."

Chu Ran really had no choice. There are quite a few teams stationed along the river, and it is difficult to get close to the riverside.

It's not easy for her to be so confident that she can't hit her, so let's take the opportunity when the time comes.

Two days later, in the afternoon, Chen Miao saw a sentry post not far away.

"That's what you've been worried about, right?"

"That's right."

"Let's see how the people here get by."

Chen Miao stopped a father and son. "Uncle, let me ask how I can go over without passing through here?"

"You see that the pass and the river are guarded, and even if there is no guard, you can't go through. And you see they're all surrounded by barbed wire, and it's impossible to sneak through. ”

"Then uncle, how did you get there?"

"We belong to the surrounding villages, and we have a pass."

"Uncle, can you show us?"

"Girl, are you?"

"Uncle, I won't hide it from you, I want to go to the other side of the river."

"Who are you?"

Chen Miao smiled and didn't say anything.

"Girl, you can't pass this level. Moreover, this side of the river is guarded, and it is not allowed to cross the river at all. ”

"Uncle, I'm not familiar with the terrain here, I wonder if there's anything they can't find? We wanted to buy a boat and go over on our own. ”

The middle-aged man didn't speak for a while. Finally, he sighed, "I'll take you away, but this carriage can't pass." ”

"The carriage is sending uncle."

"That's not going to happen."

"Let's take it, uncle, we can't bring it over, even if it's the uncle's reward for me, let's not be polite, let this brother drive home, and trouble the uncle to take the two of us to the riverside."

"Okay, I'll give you a boat in exchange for your carriage."

Chen Miao smiled and didn't say anything, the money for the boat would definitely be given.

The middle-aged man instructed his son, "Dad, I'll send it." ”

"You can't, get the car home. Let your mother cook something to eat. ”

Chu Ran just watched from the side, sighing in his heart, this is one of the reasons for the defeat of the national army, right? Unpopular with the people.

"Let's go."

The two of them followed the middle-aged man and walked back. Chen Miao chatted with him in a whisper.

"Crossing the river at night, there is a place you said."

"Uncle, thank you."

"No thanks, I know that the other side has been liberated, and we are looking forward to it here."

"Uncle, don't worry, you will."

After walking for about an hour, there was a path, follow. There are very few people who should walk this road, but there are a lot of shrubs here.

"It's a bit strange here, it's fair to say that even we locals don't have this road at night."

Chen Miao took out his gun, "Uncle, don't worry, I will protect you." ”

"Hehe, the little girl is amazing."

Chu Ran listened and laughed in the back. But for this woman's popularity, it can be regarded as insightful.

In fact, the first thing I felt when I saw her that night was that there was no danger and I didn't want to hurt her.

"It's a long way to go in this forest."

"Uncle, I have a flashlight here? Can it be used? ”

"It's better not to, let's hurry up, we can still see it now."

"Okay." After Chen Miao finished speaking, he glanced back at Chu Ran.

"I don't have a problem."

"Are you husband and wife? Your wife is really amazing. ”

"Uncle, we're not, we're cousins."

"That's right. Whoever marries a girl in the future will be blessed. ”

Chen Miao didn't explain, and there weren't many opportunities to see him in the future.

It took about an hour to walk out of the bushes.

"From this position, go over there, and that's the outpost you just saw."

"It's not far, as long as you can get to the river."

"Let's go, go to my house for dinner. I'll row to see you off in the evening. ”

"Uncle, it's too dangerous."

"It's okay, it's okay. I know how to avoid them, you are not from the river, and you can't row boats, right? ”

"yes, but I will."

When I arrived at someone's house, dinner was made for them, but I didn't expect it to be steamed buns. It really took out the best food in the house.

The woman enthusiastically went to give scrambled eggs, but Chen Miao didn't stop her.

Chu Ran knew more about her. That's really what you're capable of, isn't it?

Didn't move after the meal. "It's still the middle of the night. Now there is a possibility of being discovered in the past. ”

"Listen to the uncle."

"Lie down and rest."

The men were in a room. Chen Miao and her aunt are in a room. I can't sleep even if I'm tired, and I'm still nervous.

When you get to the other side, you have to explain. Talk to Chu Ran for a while, this identity issue is very difficult.

If he told the truth, he would definitely be scrutinized. can take him back to the mountain, I am afraid that he has some purpose, and he will regret it for the rest of his life if something happens.

Hearing the movement, Chen Miao got up and secretly put down ten silver dollars. The banknotes here are of little use, and silver dollars are the most secure.

Follow behind the middle-aged man. Looking at this boat, Chen Miao sighed, fortunately, people came to help, if he really didn't have to be able to row away.

"Uncle, you're amazing."

"What's this? There are no people by the river who can't row. ”

"That's amazing, too. I thought I would, but I really didn't see such a ship. ”

Chu Ran could see that this woman was nervous and scared, and kept talking. I thought she wasn't afraid of anything.

"Uncle. How long does it take? ”

"Three hours."

"Uncle, I'll help you. You teach me that you can't row alone. ”
