VII. Exile

Seeing the seven-day rest period that Gongzi said, Nan Su didn't think of a way to escape, she hid thirty taels of silver in a bag, and touched it twice when she was free, and she felt a sense of security in her heart. During the day, she took advantage of the absence of her son to wander around the house, but she wondered why the guard brother of the sled firewood gate disappeared that day? She asked the other guards, and it turned out that her mother was sick and had taken leave for the past two days. She thought of the scallion pancakes sent by the guards, and thought about them a little in her heart, thanks to their help that time, otherwise she might have starved to death, without a trace said that he didn't come back for five days because he was in a hurry, and she wouldn't believe it if he killed himself, the perverted son must have done it on purpose, if he had the heart to save himself, send a guard back to open the door, is it difficult? The little girl thought angrily, she had to get out of here, after all, there was only one life.

As she was walking around, she saw the guard who had pushed her off the swing that day come to her, and she hurriedly took a step back and said vigilantly: What are you going to do? As soon as the guard saw that there was no one on the left and right, he whispered: Nanxu, do you want to go outside to play, I can take you out, and the master will send you back before he comes back? Nan Su didn't want to refuse directly, she turned around and walked back, but it was too late, and the guard slapped her on the side of the neck, and Nan Su didn't know anything. When she awoke, she found herself in a dilapidated room, lying on the bed with her hands and feet tied and a handkerchief in her mouth.

Her consciousness drifted back, and she remembered that the guard had slapped her unconscious. Her mind was racing around and she was thinking of a way to get out, but she didn't have a clue, she thought, why did the guard kidnap her? A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, could it be that he wanted to use himself to blackmail his son in exchange for his family? Can Ke Gongzi agree? He is good and bad to himself, sometimes he spoils her, sometimes he wants to kill her, will he take the opportunity to get rid of himself to prevent future troubles? She was thinking wildly when she heard footsteps coming into the house, and she hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious. Two people walked up to her bed, only to hear one of them say, "Dongyu, are you sure this trick works?" Will Childe let his aunt go for this little girl? Another person said: Cousin, don't worry, Gongzi cares about this little girl very much, and is now instructing the guards to search everywhere in Shunkang City, and when he can't find the anxious eye, I will reappear and negotiate the conditions with him, I guess, he will agree. Nan Su heard the voice of the guard who had taken her captive. At this time, the cousin walked to the bed, looked at the little girl lying on the bed and said: Dongyu, this little girl is very good-looking, but she looks like a child, does the last son really care about her life or death? Dongyu said: Don't think about what you have or not, you take care of people, don't let her run away, I'll go back to the house first. After saying that, he left in a hurry.

After a while, Nan Su slowly opened her eyes, and she saw that the cousin was sitting in front of the bed and looking out of the yard. Nan Su looked at him with a distressed gaze. My cousin said: The little girl woke up? Don't look at me like that, it's not you from me. Nan Su made a whining sound from her mouth, and the cousin brought her the handkerchief in her mouth. Nan Xu said: Beautiful brother, my hands and feet hurt so much, anyway, I can't run away at such a young age, you can untie me for a while. My cousin said: The little girl is quite good at coming to trouble, okay, my brother will give you a loose tie for your pitiful sake, don't you want to run, otherwise my brother and my whip are not vegetarian. Nan Xu said obediently: Beautiful brother, don't worry, I won't run. The cousin hesitated for a moment, thinking that she wouldn't be able to escape from his palm anyway, so he untied the ropes on her hands and feet, and Nan Xu moved for a while, and said sweetly: Thank you, beautiful brother.

At this moment, the courtyard door was suddenly slammed open, and the cousin was in a hurry, and went back to catch the little girl, but he didn't expect Nan Xu to kick him with a cold kick and eat. Just kidding, she learned taekwondo in modern times! The cousin wanted to get up with a carp, but he didn't want to be trampled on the back by the guard who broke down the door before he could get up. Then a knife cut off his head. Nan Su screamed in fright, but was held in his arms by Gongzi and blocked his eyes, he patted her on the back and comforted her repeatedly: Don't be afraid, we will go home immediately. After speaking, he instructed the guards to clean up the place, and he took Nan Xu Fei home with his own light work.

Nan Xu was lying in Childe's arms, she was still thinking about leaving the day before, but at this moment she felt that Childe's arms were so reassuring! She gave up her escape plan in an instant, she is only an eight-year-old child now, alone in this strange ancient time, without the ability to be self-reliant, without the ability to protect herself, but she was born with the beauty of the country, what a tragic fate awaits her.

Back in the house, the spring breeze and autumn water bathed her and changed her clothes, she had dinner, and lay on the bed in the east compartment, although the time had only passed for a day, it seemed to be as long as years. Childe came in to see her, asking about today's events, she said with tears in her eyes: I was just walking around the house this morning, and when I saw the guard at the door, he asked me if I wanted to go out to play, and I said no, and turned around and walked into the house, and he suddenly knocked me unconscious, and when I woke up, I found myself tied up in a broken room. Childe asked: Then how did you loosen the rope? Nan Xu said: I begged the guard's cousin to let him loosen the tie for me, but he thought that I couldn't run anyway, so he let me go. I didn't expect Childe to come to the door. Childe said with a smile: You kicked him to the ground, it looks like his martial arts are good. Nan Xu blushed: Childe said that he laughed, where do I know what martial arts I can do, it's just a surprise. Childe saw that Nan Su had no internal strength, so he didn't chase after him and ask again. Nan Su said: How does Childe know that I am there? This time, thanks to the rescue of the son, the slave thanked the son! Traceless chuckled: I sent a secret guard to follow you, and he came back to report to me, and I sent guards to search in the city, and I personally went over to save people.

When Nan Xu heard this, he secretly admired Childe's plan. It's just that she was upset when she thought that there was a secret guard following her, and she said: Childe, are you spying on me? Traceless said: No, it's to protect you. Nan Xu said: Since it is to protect me, why don't you show up to save me? Childe gently tapped her head with a folding fan: If he shows up alone, not only will he not be able to save you, but he will also take his life, after all, that guard is a first-class master. Nan Xu had an epiphany: So you waited for the guard to go out to find you before you went to save me? Childe smiled: I was afraid that I would hurt you if I pushed him in a hurry, but I didn't expect you to be so clever, not only deceived people to loosen the tie for you, but also kicked people down unexpectedly, but I underestimated you. Nan Xu thought to himself that if the guard had caught him as a hostage, maybe he would not have been saved so smoothly. It suddenly occurred to her that if she ran away secretly, she would be arrested if she was accompanied by a secret guard. Fortunately, thanks to the plan has not yet been implemented, otherwise, Childe would not have believed her.
