Chapter 55: Escape to Jijia Village at night
After the butterfly effect of this incident, Steward Liu immediately decided that he could no longer let Miss Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) of the Ji family stay here, after all, it was too dangerous.
Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) saw that there was quiet outside, so he came out with confidence, turned around and saw Steward Liu, who asked Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) to go out of the village first.
"Miss Ji, hey, our family thinks that it is not appropriate to stay here in Jijia Village for a long time, so we should go to other places for temporary refuge."
"Where can the butler go?" Cheng Yuxi couldn't help asking
Steward Liu touched his beard and thought twice, looked at Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) in front of him, and suddenly thought of a remote place in the ravine, and patted his thigh to think of another good place to take refuge.
"Miss Ji, our family knows that there is a place to avoid, which is even more remote than here, my hometown is Yongjun Mountain, Guanjiang Sankou."
Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) heard that Steward Liu recommended his hometown to take refuge, thinking about his current situation, if he couldn't make a decision immediately, he would probably be captured by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.
"Miss Ji can act at night, after all, the night is blurry and not easy to be discovered, and she will send a boatman to answer when she is sailing."
"Okay."
However, it was said that the local official Yan Hao forcibly abducted all the women in Jijia Village, and many men were stunned in the fields when they saw their wives being abducted by officers and soldiers while they were outside the fields.
The officers and soldiers were holding sharp weapons, the cold light was pressing, the knife was bright, the eyes were serious, the face was gloomy, Yan Hao rode a black horse and walked in front to show off his might.
said that it was good to arrest the daughter of a criminal to serve the court, but he didn't expect Yan Hao to look at these women and have a crooked mind, and he wanted to choose a few women to be his little wives.
"Don't be afraid, it's not a matter of what I arrested you, as long as you cooperate with the will of my county lord to ensure that you can be safe."
Yan Hao walked in front of the women, the women were very scared when they saw his ugly appearance, Yan Hao didn't think so, but smelled them with his nose.
"I don't pay attention to maintenance on weekdays, and it's a pity to see that the white and tender skin has been ruined by farm work." Yan Hao touched the peasant woman's hand and said in a strange way.
The woman who was touched wanted to fight for it, but Yan Hao became even more violent, rudely rolling up the sleeves of the woman, and his hand kept touching the peasant woman's arm.
The peasant girl closed her eyes in fright, Yan Hao showed a greedy expression, and her mouth was full of vulgar words.
"What are you pretending to be high, my master's body hasn't been happy for a long time, why don't you accompany me to be happy together."
The officers and soldiers under Yan Hao understood and stepped forward to grab the peasant woman, and the women in the same village did not dare to stop them when they saw that the officers and soldiers were fierce and vicious.
The captured woman couldn't help but look at the women around her with pleading eyes, she was so frightened that she couldn't help but shout.
"The official let me go, I am a family man, I still have a husband and children waiting for me to go home to take care of, I still have children."
"Children and husbands, haha, I like a family woman like you, and it is your blessing to serve me." Yan Hao showed an evil smile, and couldn't help but hook up with the peasant girl and replied.
No matter how the peasant woman begged Yan Hao to let her go, Yan Hao just didn't comply, and then forcibly carried the woman back to the house and locked the door.
"The women in the family are the best, and now I want to experience it."
"Spare me, sir." The peasant woman shouted hoarsely.
The other officers and soldiers couldn't hold back the turmoil in their hearts, and they couldn't let go of the prey in front of them, and these women were not physically advantageous, like lambs to be slaughtered and ravaged at will.
The words are divided into two ends
Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) was thinking of waiting for his uncle Ji Xiulan to come and say hello before evacuating, thinking that although the days when his uncle took him in were not long, he could only wander if he had no place to take him in.
She understands other people's small favors, but she doesn't know that it was her uncle Ji Xiulan who exposed her position, and Steward Liu didn't know about it.
"I left in such a hurry, didn't I say goodbye to my uncle in person?"
"Our family agrees with what you mean, but your uncle has not returned overnight, so it is better to leave first when the incident suddenly occurs, and write a temporary letter and store it here."
Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, she probably wrote a parting letter to her uncle Ji Xiulan, and the content of the letter was all words of thanks.
"It's written, I hope he (Ji Xiulan) can see it when he comes back."
Steward Liu did not delay the refuge of Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting), in order to contact the boatman on a single line, Steward Liu specially sent his fellow countrymen to escort Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting).
"Miss Ji, for the sake of safety, her whereabouts will not be exposed, and our family contacted my fellow villagers to pick you up yesterday."
Steward Liu handed the letter to Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting), Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) looked at the words in the letter, and the housekeeper specially informed.
"This man is a friend of my classmates, a brother of the same country, a loyal and honest man, who makes a living by fishing, who can row and swim, and who will come tonight to pick you up from this place."
Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) hid the letter in her clothes, and she nodded slightly to Steward Liu.
As soon as she felt that her words were wrong, she suddenly asked Steward Liu whether she was alone in this refuge, or if the retainers of Jifu followed you.
"Butler, let me ask you if we go together, or will I go first and you come later?"
Steward Liu waved his hand with a smile, and he couldn't help but reply as he looked out the window.
"The fact that the two escapes were in a short period of time shows a very serious problem."
"What's the problem." Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) suddenly asked.
"Miss Ji still doesn't know if the route of our escape and the itinerary of our evacuation will be reported to the court by some people." , Steward Liu judged the veteran, he knew that there was an eye line of the imperial court inside, so he could only guess: "In just a few days, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court suddenly surrounded this place, if no one told them, they would not mobilize nearby officials to come." ”
Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) understood the meaning of Steward Liu's words and decided not to act rashly, but who is the eyeliner inside?
"Our family still decided to let the young lady go first, after all, there are many people."
"The housekeeper thinks so thoroughly, but you should also take care."
"Thank you, Miss, for your kindness."
Night falls
A small boat appeared on the river
Steward Liu whistled on the riverbank, and the fisherman on the side of the boat whistled, and both sides responded with a whistle.
The boatman came to Steward Liu, Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) was standing behind the butler, at this moment, Steward Liu and the boatman exchanged a few words, and then gave him a little pestering.
Steward Liu patted the fellow on the shoulder, and deliberately pointed at Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) and commanded.
"These entanglements are enough for your living expenses for a few days, and it is not easy to see that you have been fishing for many years to support your family." , Steward Liu looked at Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) behind him, with doting in his eyes, and he said to the boatman: "The little girl behind her is my young owner, the daughter of the Jijia family who is doing something in the house, you have to take care of her and send her to her destination safely." ”
"Don't worry, Lao Liu, we have been friends for so many years, even if we don't need so much money, I still want to help." The boatman took the money in his hand and politely replied to Steward Liu.
In this way, Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) got on the boatman's boat, and Steward Liu was reluctant to wave goodbye.
Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) sat in the canopy, she didn't say a word, fiddling with the sachet and Jifu jade pendant on her waist.
I remember that the jade pendant I was wearing was given to me by Ji Xiuming himself, but I can't remember the main time period, and I can't help but think of Ji Xiuming when I see this jade pendant.
I secretly decided in my heart that in order for Ji Xiuming to live, there will be a day when I will really grow up to face those enemies, and I will have the courage to protect the people who have protected me.
By the moonlight, the faint light shone on the dim earth, the banks of the river were lush with reeds, the waves were steady, the slight boat was in procession, and the double pulp of the hull set off the waves.
