The woman looked at her seriously injured husband and said sadly: "It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have let people be beaten like this today......"

The man combed the broken hair on his wife's forehead, endured the pain and squeezed out a smile and said, "What are you talking about, what does this have to do with you, it's only because we have a bad life and we have encountered such a thing." ”

Seeing that her husband didn't blame herself, the guilt in her heart became heavier, and she gently leaned on her husband, struggling for a while, and then gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Qiang, when I was moving stones during the day today, I saw a strychnine growing in the grass......

This strychnine is not a rare herb, most of the people living in the fields know the medicinal properties of this medicine, and sure enough, the man did not wait for the woman to finish speaking, and then he changed color and said: "You are going to beat the child, no...... This will never happen!"

The woman cried: "Brother Qiang, I don't want to beat the baby, but you have also seen the current situation, the officers and soldiers have arrested all the people in our village to cultivate the Taoist temple, regardless of men, women, old and young." ”

The man sighed and said, "Chun'er, you bear with it a little longer, and after a while, when the Taoist temple is repaired, the officials and masters will let us go if they want to come......"

Hearing this, the woman bit her lower lip and shook her head fiercely and said: "Brother Qiang, the child in my belly can't survive that day, and you don't look at how long we've been caught here, but what! After such a long time, even the stone platform under the Taoist temple has not been repaired, and I don't know how long it will take to cultivate the entire Taoist temple, and now my body can still support and work, but if it takes another month, the baby in my belly will fall sooner or later, so it is better to ...... it now."

The man struggled to get up and said, "No! I must not let you beat this baby Chun'er......"

Seeing that her husband couldn't make sense, the woman was also a little anxious and said: "Brother Qiang, what do you say, beat the baby now, we can ask for it again in the future, if you don't fight now, you will have to be dragged to death by our mother sooner or later, and in the end, I'm afraid I still won't be able to keep the baby in my belly." ”

When the man heard his wife's words, he slapped his head a few times with hatred: "It's all my fault! If it weren't for the fact that you had followed me back then, you would probably have married into the Western Brahmin of the royal city now, and you wouldn't have suffered here with me." ”

The woman grabbed the man's hand and said lovingly: "Brother Qiang, what are you talking about, I volunteered to follow you, and what can I do if I marry into a Western Brahmin, my life may not be as happy as being with you." ”

When the man heard his wife's warm words, he suddenly made up his mind, and looked at his wife with burning eyes, "Chun'er, or let's run away tonight." ”

The woman said, "Ah, Brother Qiang, you said to run away?"

The man nodded, "Chun'er, you're right, if you stay here, our children won't be able to keep it sooner or later, it's better for us to fight now, when I was moving stones these days, I found an inconspicuous path, as long as we can sneak out of the camp and run there at night, maybe there is still a way to live." ”

The woman hesitated: "But Brother Qiang, there are many officers and soldiers in the camp after the end of work every day, and we may not be able to escape under the noses of the officers and soldiers, and besides, Brother Qiang, your body is ...... now" is obviously worried about whether her husband's body that has just been whipped can withstand the hard work of escaping.

Seeing that his wife was worried, the man squeezed out a smile on his face, and endured the severe pain and moved his hands and feet, "Chun'er, you see, these are all skin injuries, but you are right, the camp is heavily guarded at night, we may not be able to escape, it is better for us to leave now." ”

The woman was stunned and said, "Now, but I haven't had time to pack my things yet." ”

The man said firmly: "That's right, now, the laborers in the camp have gone to work during the day, and there is no one, so the officials are not as strict as at night, as long as we see the opportunity, most of them can escape." ”

The woman hesitated for a moment, thought of the fetus in her womb, and said ruthlessly: "Okay! Brother Qiang, I listen to you, you wait here for me for a while, and I'll go clean up." ”

When he was about to leave, he was pulled by the man, "Chun'er, we don't have time now, now we are running for our lives, except for the food that is a little useful, other things are cumbersome, it is better not to bring them, as for the ...... to eat"

At this point, the man looked left and right, and pulled out a few pieces of broken dough from the bed.

Seeing this, the woman said: "Brother Qiang, the officials have always forbidden us to keep food, where did you get these cakes?" ”

The man said: "You have a baby in your body, I am afraid that you will not be able to eat enough later, so I took advantage of the officials' inattention to leave some dry food in the clothes, and saved up for several days to save so much, I wanted to find an opportunity to give it to you, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today, Chun'er, you take off this sheet and wrap it with dry food, let's go." ”

The woman nodded, hurriedly wrapped the broken bread and stuffed it into her arms, and then reached out to help her husband.

The two came to the door of the tent and looked out and saw that there was no one around, so they left the tent in a panic.

It's just that where to run has become a problem at the moment, but he said that the path that the man was optimistic about was originally an excellent escape route, but now that hundreds of people are coming and going there during the day, the two of them will definitely be discovered if they pass over so rashly.

In the end, the man made up his mind, and he didn't know what direction to go, and he went where he saw no one at the moment, anyway, the terrain of this basin is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is no shortage of mountains and forests for people to hide.

As long as they could get into the forest from the camp at the edge of the basin, the two of them would be much more sure of escaping.

But it is said that the people living in this camp are all collected from the villages and towns outside the western Brahmin of the royal city, and these people, whether they are men, women, old or young, are all assigned tasks, and if there are no special circumstances in this kind of daylight, they are not allowed to come back at all, so the palace guards are really very loose in guarding the camp.

The couple fled to the edge of the camp, seeing that they could enter the forest after walking a few steps, and they glanced at each other and were about to show a somewhat relaxed look on their faces, when they suddenly saw the sound of a rope in the dense forest in front of them, and the heartstrings that they were about to loosen immediately rose again.

The man stretched out his hand to stop his wife behind him, endured the pain and picked up a big stone from the ground and held it in his hand......
