Chapter 22
The next day, Xue Ling got up early.The street was full of people, and it looked far more prosperous than yesterday evening.

She chose a very lively tea house, and sat quietly in a corner eating snacks, but her ears were always listening to the chatter of people passing by.

It's not that I'm not in a hurry, it's just that I care too much.Concern is chaos.In the past few days, I have lost contact with everyone, and have been traveling in the wilderness.

As soon as he arrived at the market place, Xue Ling couldn't help it, and wanted to inquire about the capital.Fortunately, in this county, no one mentioned that the Xue family was convicted.

It was Xue Ling who deliberately provoked it, but it was still General Zhenbei who was shouting.Although it was a bit far from the capital, with Xue Yihan's status, if something unexpected happened, it should be known to the world.No one had talked about it at the moment, but Xue Ling felt more at ease.

After eating breakfast, I walked around again, strolling several streets, and there was indeed no relevant notice from the court saying that Xue Yihan was convicted.She couldn't help but think, who was chasing her these days, whether it was the Huo family who framed her intentionally, or was the emperor secretly involved.

After walking around in this circle, it was already noon when I returned to the inn. There were so many things to deal with. Xue Ling simply fell over. He had no sleep last night. There were finally some good signs today, and his sleepiness could not be concealed.

Woke up until night.I didn't go out to eat, I just called Xiao Er to send it to the room.I plan to pick a fast horse tomorrow morning and rush back to the capital.

She really, really misses Dad.You can ignore everything that happened in the past.Even if Dad replaced her with Xue Li, she was still panicking at the moment, especially when she lost Lu Wen'an.Even if she knew that the capital was in dire straits, she still wanted to go back.

Although this county is prosperous, there is no horse market, and most of the horses are trained to pull carts.Xue Ling picked and picked for a while, and then barely found a good one. When he reached the gate of the city, he was stopped.

It is said that there is a dead criminal who is urgently ordered to leave, and it will be released tomorrow after a strict investigation by the superior.Xue Ling was afraid of revealing his identity and did not dare to force it, so he had to retreat, and continued to find a restaurant to listen to people chatting.

Late that night, the old pawnshop was dragged from the bed to the ground.Watching the ghost ball that he sent out was swaying in front of his eyes.

"Who should give it to you?"

The old man only thought that he had cheated on the wrong person. The master came to seek revenge, and he was so scared that he couldn't say anything: "He is a little boy who looks quite rich. I didn't cheat on him.... I didn't see a grass in it. Your lord has a lot of it." He thumped his head on the ground, not noticing that people had walked for a long time.

When Xue Ling walked to the city gate again, he saw the people searching the city gate from afar, and then he was covered in cold sweat.

That face, she recognized.When he was in the Jiang family, the people Huo Yunsheng brought had this face.

The original one-sided relationship should not be so impressive.It was just that Lu Wen'an kicked Jiang Yufeng's leg and was seen by this person.Xue Ling wanted to make amends, but found that this person didn't react at all. He felt suspicious and looked at it a few more times.The mole on the corner of the mouth is too conspicuous.

What kind of bullshit fugitive, the person who came here is undoubtedly Xue Ling.

Xue Ling hesitated for a moment, she is now an ordinary daughter's family, and she wants to get in.Even if she couldn't get through, there were only three or four people who searched. She had a dagger in her hand, and the outcome was unknown.

But after thinking carefully, I still didn't dare to take risks. There are three or four people in the bright place, but I don't know how many in the dark place. Once they fail, they are all over.Thinking of this, he immediately turned around.

Fearing an accident, even the horse was abandoned, and the inn did not dare to return.She had been here for more than two days, but she didn't know where she had revealed her identity.At this moment, the city gate is under strict investigation, and the ordinary means can't get out, and I don't know where to go, so I feel anxious.

Walking aimlessly, he went astray, and when he reached the edge of the city, he found that there was a dilapidated house in front of him, and there were children in ragged clothes.When I got closer, I saw that there were some homeless people gathered.

The smell inside the door was very rancid, Xue Ling wiped some dirt on his body, but still scurried in.

The homeless people inside seemed to be used to seeing people coming and going, and some people didn't even bother to turn over to take a look.However, two of them looked at Xue Ling up close, with malicious intentions in their mouths: "Why did such a beautiful girl come here, I thought they were all going to the kiln."

Xue Ling didn't know how much he had listened to this kind of nonsense when he was a child.While thinking about what went wrong, thinking about how to get out.

The situation is getting worse and worse. In addition to the wide entrance and strict exit of the city gate, people have begun to search the city, and even this beggar's nest has been searched two or three times.

The good thing is that it doesn't matter so much to girls. All the boys were [-] or [-] years old. As soon as I asked if it was these days, I immediately slipped away.

So hiding, do not know when there is no way to hide.And Xue Ling was surprised to find that there was more news among beggars than ordinary people.She already knew that Xue Yihan was in prison.Even more impatient to return to the capital.Although her father told her to wait for her in Pingcheng.But at this moment, she can't go back to Pingcheng alone no matter what.

Xue Ling went back and forth to check carefully. There were originally four gates in this county. In the end, Xue Ling decided to go out through the east gate.

Although she had to go back to the north after going out, she took a look and saw a large forest outside the east gate, and she had never seen the gatekeeper.

If you want to arrest her, it should also be facing the portrait.If she leaves the city as her daughter's family and gets her face dirty, she should be able to go out.

After thinking about it, Xue Ling decided to leave later, although the city had already started a curfew and was not allowed to leave the city at night.But she looked at the beggar beside her and decided to gamble.The light is not very good at night.This face is less likely to be recognized.

It was still early, Xue Ling was lying on the straw pile, and suddenly got up again.She had a dagger on her body for self-defense, but she suddenly remembered that if she was searched, she would be more likely to have an accident.

After struggling for a while, he abandoned the sword, took off the hairpin on his head and rubbed it back and forth on the ground.If anything, I don't know whose throat it can be inserted into.

Just as he was working hard, a little girl cried beside him.Xue Ling had no intention of looking after him, but he heard clear slaps, followed by unbearable insults.

Feeling agitated, he stood up and walked over, only to find that a seven- or eight-year-old girl was holding onto a bag she didn't know what to do, and another homeless man slapped several times and still didn't let go.

Rao is that Xue Ling is too busy to take care of himself now, but still can't help dragging the little girl behind him, staring at the homeless man and asking, "What are you beating her for?"

The homeless man pointed at Xue Ling: "Why, the bitch still wants to be a big head, you ask this brother to judge. Whoever doesn't have something for everyone to share, this little prostitute eats alone."

The little girl cried even louder, sobbing and shouting: "This is my steamed bun. This is my steamed bun, and I will leave it to my brother."

She and her brother have only been wandering for two or three days since then, but she didn't expect her brother to be taken away yesterday and has not come back now.

Xue Ling didn't look back, just took out some loose money from her body: "Don't embarrass her, I still have some savings, you can take it."

The homeless man's eyes suddenly lit up, but he didn't take over immediately, he just stared at Xue Ling and looked back and forth.

Xue Ling threw the silver on the ground: "That's all I have, don't look at it."Yan Bi still lay back on a pile of straw in the corner.Fortunately, she didn't choose the environment when she was a child, lying all over the floor, otherwise she really couldn't stay at this moment.

Not knowing what it would be like tonight, Xue Ling was in a trance, someone pulled the corner of her clothes, and only then did she see the little girl who was beaten half-kneeling beside her.

Seeing Xue Ling looking at her, he opened the cloth bag tremblingly, picked up a steamed bun, and asked timidly, "Sister, do you want to eat it?"

Xue Ling glanced at the slap print on the little girl's face, and then looked at the steamed bun she was holding.I don't know if it's been left for a few days, and it's already moldy, and looking at the cloth pocket, there's nothing good at all.

Some were gnawed and still stained with mud, while others should have been fished out of a swill bucket, and they were still stained with minced vegetable oil and meat.Most have green mold.

Seeing that Xue Ling didn't answer, the little girl lowered her head: "This, it's not broken. My brother can still eat when he comes back."

Xue Ling didn't answer and turned around.Even though Lu Wen'an wasn't there, she clearly felt that Lu Wen'an patted her on the head, "What do you know, you son of a bitch, people are so hungry, they dig out the grass roots and eat them up."
