After the coldest winter of the year, after surviving the bone-chilling coldness of the snowmelt, the small villages below the mountain broke the silence and finally began to be moved up the mountain.

Fortunately, it's time for Gu Guan's resignation to leave.

At the beginning, the matter of Xie Ci's escape from prison was rumored, and there was a conclusion on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, but the big seals of the various ministries were still sealed, and it was not opened until the fifteenth day of the first month, and the Xie family had already missed the original date of exile, so they would wait until the fifteenth day to re-select the starting time and finalize the twenty-third day of the first month.

The stream was murmuring, the spring buds were sprouting, Gu Wan rode a horse from the other side of the hill to make a detour back to the Orion Cabin, Xie Ci was splitting firewood in the small courtyard bare-chested, the young man's shoulders had begun to be long, wide and thick, and the whole leg-thick log was split in half with a "snap", and then divided into four petals.

Sweat slid down his forehead and neck, his muscles stretched, and then over his narrow waist, and the waistband of his pants was already soaked with sweat. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, he immediately looked up.

Gu Wan's goal was smaller than Xie Ci, and the work of squatting was handed over to her, and after fifteen, she rode a horse to and from Tieji Temple every day.

It was the first time she had come back early in the morning.

Gu Wan's crisp voice was a little more excited: "It's today!" Early in the morning, the people from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department came to relieve people with the documents of exiles, and I saw that there was movement in the women's prison! ”

"Good!"

Xie Ci let out a long breath and immediately stood up: "Then let's go." ”

Gu Guan: "You quickly pack up some and let's go." ”

Nodding his head in thanks, he bent down and stacked the chopped firewood neatly on the stack, then covered the open straw mat and put the axe back in place.

In fact, the two of them didn't need so much firewood, but Xie Ci Gu Guan's little coiling and this horse were bought with the big money found in the cabin, although Gu Wan buried the old man, but Xie Ci still split and stacked the dead branches and miscellaneous trees that the old man couldn't split, and the cabin was sprinkled and cleaned neatly.

After doing this, he went to the stove to scoop up a half-warm decoction potion, poured it on his body to wash off the sweat, and when he came out, Gu Wan had already packed his luggage and prepared the boiled and dried cotton bandages.

The wounds on Xie Ci's body had scabbed over one after another, and some of them had peeled off, revealing new pink flesh, and the scars on his body were criss-crossed, but he didn't care. Still Gu Wan arranged, although there was no need to take medicine, but use a cotton bandage to wrap the points that were still very thick and scabbed, so as not to rub the clothes and make a big movement between walking to break them again.

After doing this, he put the burden on his back and brought the wooden door of the wooden house that had been repaired and locked.

Out of front of the gate of the courtyard where the horse was tethered, Gu Wan was looking over and over the yellow paper of household registration in his hand, and then carefully put it into the inner bag.

- Although this is a false testimony, Gu Wan has been tested twice and has not been detected.

Xie Ci took the reins of the horse, Gu Wan stepped on the stirrup and turned over, she turned around and was about to take the burden and hang it on the saddle, Xie Ci had already hung up, before getting on the horse, he said to her very seriously: "Wait for this, I'll find a way to get you a real female household." ”

He said solemnly, he would never let her remain a fugitive without a name or a household.

Gu Wan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "Okay!" ”

The green grass has already appeared, a little yellow flower blooms on the hillside at the end of the hut, the wind brings the breath of spring, the golden warm sun sprinkles on her face and body, she shows a smile, and the spring light all over the mountains is as warm as the sun.

Gu Wan's mood suddenly became very good, and she stretched out her hand to him: "Come on." ”

Thanks, he turned over and got on his horse.

……

Gu Wan was really in a good mood, not taking the Xie family was one of them, and the second most important thing was that although the certificate in her hand was a fake certificate, after holding it in her hand and finding that it could be used, most of the anxiety in her heart disappeared at once.

She had many scruples when she first arrived, and this household registration was a very important part of it.

It wasn't until she got this yellow paper of household registration that she found that it didn't seem so difficult to mix with ancient times, the boat was naturally straight to the bridge, and the difficulties might not be solved.

She felt that life was still full of hope.

The youthful and confident Gu Wan is back.

All in all, everything is going for the better, isn't it?

……

The two got on their horses and made a detour to the Iron Threshold Temple.

Drive the horse to the top of a mountain in the northwest direction, the sun is blazing, the visibility is very high, you can clearly see the people of the prison outside the Iron Threshold Temple coming and moving the dust.

The liberation army and the servants were already in place, and the men and women in groups of 35 were driven into columns, identified and counted according to the roster, handed over to the release officer, and driven from inside the gate to the open space outside the prison gate.

When Xie Ci and Gu Wan climbed to the top of the mountain to overlook, the handover work was more than half completed, Gu Wan untied the burden and took out two chestnut rice cakes, which were the dry food for the two of them on the kang at home, she broke half and handed it to Xie Ci.

The two of them briefly settled lunch, and after noon, the handover was finally completed, and Xie Xie rode a horse and whipped to drive the hundreds of exile prisoners, stumbling to the northeast.

Xie Ci pursed his lips tightly, and finally looked back, he put on a hat, turned over and got on the horse with Gu Guan, "drove", turned around and went down the mountain.

This way, they will not be on the same road as the big army, but they will always go to the northeast in parallel, looking for opportunities.

That's right, it was Gu Guanxian who proposed to rob the prisoner, but with Xie Ci's near-death and "death" in front, and Zhang Ningyuan's desperate struggle did not affect the Xie family's daughters and dependents in the future, Xie Ci did not weigh it for too long, and soon decided that before arriving at the place of exile, he must rescue his family first.

This time the exile subway ridge is three thousand miles away from the central capital. It took almost a year to go. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, cold and heat, all need to be measured with their feet, but fortunately, even if the Xie family is a female dependent and a child in the general horn, their physical fitness is still passable, and they are not too weak, giving Xie Ci and Gu Wan some time to observe and find the opportunity.

At the beginning, the two of them must have stood still, after all, at the beginning, the defense and vigilance were definitely the strongest, but the liberation army and the liberation were also people, whether it was on foot or on horseback, they would also be tired if they had to walk together.

All in all, the Gyeonggi neighborhood is definitely not a good time to get your hands dirty.

Walking all the way, following all the way, the winding team of vains, constantly attrition, Xie Ci and Gu Wan were worried, but although the former was worried, he always remained calm, and he had to be targeted, they would not have a second chance.

……

"If the timing is right, we're almost ready to go."

Gu Wan lay in the grass and whispered to the thank you beside him.

Now that the journey has passed halfway, away from Gyeonggi, and is walking between the loess official road between Shuozhou and Daizhou, the wild wind is rough, the summer is scorching, and after lying in the grass for a while, Gu Wan felt itchy and painful in the soles of his feet, and quickly sat up and pulled out his boots, and sure enough, there was another blood blister.

She bared her teeth in pain.

- The reason for the lack of entanglement, no matter how long it is to ride, it will soon be noticed, the two have already sold their horses, and the second half of the journey is to hike with the team.

Xie Ci also saw her feet, he sat up and pulled out the fire, blew and burned the silver chisel, held her feet and carefully pricked the blood bubbles at the edges, squeezed out the blood, and then picked a little yellow ointment and put it on, and wrapped it around the cotton cloth bandage that had been washed and dried last night.

In order to save money, the two of them followed the crowd closely, and rarely stayed at the inn along the way, and they were covered in dust at the moment, which was quite embarrassing.

Xie Ci felt very uncomfortable when he saw her like this, and as the distance increased, he became more and more worried about his mother, sister-in-law and nephew, and he wanted to do it as soon as possible. But there are obviously people in the court to guard against him, and Feng Linde, the son of his father's cronies of Father Xie's left servant of the family Shangshu Yan Lang, was demoted to personally serve as the commander-in-chief of the Liberation Army, and the other party has not relaxed too much along the way, and they have not found too good opportunities.

But Gu Wan began to feel anxious, because in the memory of the original owner, there was a small burst of rain in the upper reaches, and many livestock died, which washed down the water and polluted the drinking water source, and the team was forced to divert and go further north in the direction of Shuozhou.

It was here that the eldest grandson of the Xie family, Xie Ci's eldest nephew, and twelve-year-old Xie Mingming, in order to secretly go to get clean drinking water for his family, was kicked into the river by the Yacha, and he had a sympathy of heat and cold, and died of illness on the road because there was no medicine to treat him.

The sister-in-law of the Xie family is crazy.

She had been urging for several days, and Xie Ci observed the sky, only to see dark clouds circling, and her heart couldn't help but become more and more anxious.

Fortunately, at this time, there is finally a major good news!

The emperor felt unwell again, fainted and fell from the dragon chair and knocked his head to the point of bleeding, and he still did not wake up until the last flying pigeon passed the book.

After receiving the news from the flying pigeon, Feng Linde's face changed greatly, and he immediately handed over the futile work to the adjutant, and he didn't even bother to say a word, and immediately rushed back to Zhongdu with Pegasus day and night.

Compared with such a major event, whether it is Xie Ci or the Xie family in vain, it is not worth mentioning.

The opportunity has finally arrived!

Gu Wan slapped his high-fives, this emperor was too sick in time, and hoped that he would be in a coma for a long time.

"I'll inform Ah Niang!"

As soon as Feng Linde left, although the adjutant was still in full swing, the spirit of the army immediately dropped a notch, and he decided to do it without hesitation.

He observed for a moment and decided to inform the Xie family first, so as to teach them to be ready to cooperate with the outside at any time.

Gu Wan took the shirt that Xie Ci had taken off in his hand, and handed him the small bamboo tube sealed with wax, the thunder rumbled, and the downpour was coming, she whispered: "Be careful!" ”

Xie Ci nodded, took a deep breath, and immediately swam under the river.

The wind is very strong, the turbid waves are rolling, this is a wild river with unknown hydrological conditions, Gu Wan is waiting with fear.

At the bottom of the river, Xie Ci was like a swimming fish, kicking the water and quickly swimming towards the camp of Tuliu.

Rolling waves, he lay at the bottom of the water, breathing only on a reed, and finally waited for the three of Xie Jiayu to come to fetch water with a few older children.

The water was even mudter than yesterday, and Second Sister-in-law Xie couldn't help frowning, she took a few wooden bowls and walked up and down for a while, looking for a slightly clearer place.

Suddenly, she spotted a reed pole, and then, a hand came out from the bottom of the river, and she saw a blurred face under the water, and her hand was stuffed into a small bamboo tube.

Second sister-in-law Xie opened her eyes wide, hurriedly glanced left and right, covered it with a wooden bowl, and quickly put the bamboo tube into her arms.

……

Gu Wan waited for more than an hour, and she was so anxious that she finally waited for the resignation to come back.

At this time, the sky was almost dark, and the dark clouds were about to come, so he broke through the water and jumped up, with a happy face: "I gave the bamboo tube to the second sister-in-law!" ”

"Really!"

Gu Wan was also overjoyed, Second Sister-in-law Xie was the best candidate for them to send the message, great!

"So what are we going to do next?"

Xie Ci quickly put on his clothes, and the two ran hand in hand. Far away, you can hear the sound of the horse crying and the cow and the lamb scurrying on the official road that is startled by the thunder, this place is adjacent to the closed door, the people are rough, the cattle and horses and livestock merchants are the most, the large groups of small groups on the road are endless, and the small households in the township and town abound.

The two of them stood on the hill, looking at the scurrying beasts and the scolding solution, and couldn't help but glance at each other.

That night, the two of them touched into a post where a big Malaysian merchant was staying in a large town.

The torrential rain fell for most of the night, and before dawn finally rested, and the shacks were quiet, and the people either slept to death or were put down.

Gu Wan opened the fence gate of the animal shed.

She inquired, this horse merchant is very rich, and often beats and scolds his servants and animals, because the rich are not benevolent, and the sister should rob the rich and help the poor.

Originally, Gu Guan also planned to find someone to solve the economic problem for the rich when the money was really used up.

Weren't there a lot of such thieves in ancient times?

The living can't be suffocated by urine, and she can do it.

Those who can be Malaysian businessmen in the north have human lives in their hands, and they are not wronged.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the light rain was dripping, Gu Wan rubbed his hands and slipped into the stable.

Xie Ci also got in, if he could only choose one of the two, he could exchange his life in order to save his mother, sister-in-law and nephews, but this stealing was the first time in the world.

When his father was alive, he taught him that as a general, he should be under his command, never disturb the people, and not plunder the people.

So even if he used to do anything like bullying the market and not giving him money, even if it was half a time, even if he left home and had no money in his pocket, he just went into a cave.

He was somewhat uneasy.

Gu Wan noticed it and whispered: "It's important to save people, let's use it first, and when you get developed, give him back the money." "A little more interest at most.

Xie Ci couldn't help but nodded, so the two of them ran to the caravan leaning against the banner of the courtyard wall one after the other, Gu Wan pulled it away, and he glanced at it seriously.

After the two of them finished this, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

A horn wind lamp hung on the doorpost of Chaimen, and a little dim light shone on Xie Ci's face, and his magnificent rose-like features instantly became brilliant because of the smile.

The young man is immature, his forehead is dyed with wind and frost, and his sword eyebrows are thick and black, adding to his heroic spirit.

Finally, there is no end to the road, and with hope, his mood and expression have visibly improved a lot.

The two of them wrote down the horse merchant, tied the horse's mouth separately, and then opened the fence gate, pulled the head out, thanked him and rode to control it, Gu Wan drove the horses in the livestock shed out like flowing water, and the last one she rode up, drove the horse one after the other, and chose a direction to drive away and hide first.

It's just a coincidence.

Just as the two of them hid their horses and returned to the town in the night, intending to follow up on the development of events a little more at dawn to ensure that everything was safe, who suddenly heard a dull sound of horses' hooves.

The road looked at the animal shed about thirty or forty zhang of the post house, the wind lamp was quietly taken down, the animal shed was opened silently, and even the other party did more than them, the horses' hooves were tied with wheat straw, the sound of the horses landing was very small, and there were more than a dozen beef cattle.

“……”

Gu Wan looked at each other in thanks.

Gu Guan: "...... Could it be that there are still prisoners? ”

But it's not unusual, after all, there are so many people in the Vain team.

The two of them just robbed the prisoner together, and Gu Wan said happily: "Well, that's great, maybe, we can borrow from each other!" ”

Do more with less!

It's a joy to think about!
