One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 14
All the way forward, the scenery on the side of the road flew back, Yan Qingzhi took a deep breath while paying attention to the surroundings.

The same is true for Yan Maoqiu, who is afraid that Yan Qingzhi will run away.

There are many mountains and forests around the county, even the official roads have high and low slopes.

Because of the cold weather, even on the official road leading to the county seat, there are not many pedestrians.

Yan Qingzhi looked at such a scene and recalled the news she had heard before.

The previous dynasty was dizzy and the people were struggling to live. Coupled with several severe disasters and wars before the collapse, the population dropped sharply to a very low level.

The worst place, a county with a radius of thousands of miles, only has a population of 10.

However, after decades of recuperation, the population has returned to normal levels in some places, but there are still many wastelands and forests in some places.

Lincheng is next to Zhuo County, occupying the geographical advantage of the Empress Rebellion. Whether it is population or economic level, it is in the forefront of Da Zhao.

Under such circumstances, few people would want to leave here and go to other places to make a living. In this era, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and foreigners will always be excluded.

Yan Qingzhi felt her thoughts flying far away, and she became alert and regained her attention. She didn't dare to be distracted.

Along the way, Yan Maoqiu seemed to want to talk to her, but she didn't answer indifferently. The matter had developed to this point, and the lives of her sister and brother were already at stake, so she must not leak any flaws.

Seeing her ignorant appearance, Yan Maoqiu wanted to slap her twice to extinguish her arrogance, but after seeing Yan Qingzhi's playful eyes, he would always subconsciously think of what Old Man Yan said to him.

The pain in my heart can only be suppressed.

Yan Qingzhi's eyes looking outside were completely different from those looking at Yan Maoqiu. She looked at every tree around her carefully, for fear that she would miss something!
Time passed bit by bit, and finally, a familiar hillside appeared in front of Yan Qingzhi!
Her body tensed suddenly, and her eyes swept across the scene in front of her as the carriage moved.

The hillside is not high, there are several tall pine trees, I don't know how many years they have grown, the trunks are thick and the crowns are huge, and the dry and yellow pine needles are covered with heavy snow.

Because it was blocked by the branches, there was not much snow on the ground.

Seeing this tree, Yan Qingzhi's eyes moved and glanced at Yan Maoqiu. Seeing that his nose was so red that he didn't dare to retract his head, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and showing a smile.

Her actions immediately caught Yan Maoqiu's attention.

I saw the other party turned his head in an instant and looked at each other.

Yan Qingzhi's acting skills exploded, her little face twisted together in an instant, her hands were still holding her stomach, and her little body shrunk into a small ball.

"Ouch! Ouch! My stomach hurts, I have to go to the hut, park! Park!"

The coachman's ears were full of 'huhu', how could he ignore her, and he was still rushing forward.

Yan Qingzhi understood this in her heart, but she jumped up regardless, and regardless of her appearance, she was about to take off the smelly leather jacket outside.

With her action, the carriage shook violently, and then it slipped in the snow, and the heavy wheels slid far away in an instant. Yan Maoqiu's head pressed firmly against Yan Maoqiu's stomach.

Yan Maoqiu's face twisted for a moment.

Yan Qingzhi hurriedly leaned back, not even paying attention to the wooden box in the carriage, she quickly retreated to the door, and fell on the door curtain in two steps. .

However, her figure stabilized, but the coachman sitting behind the curtain was hit hard by her, shaking his hand, and the whip he swung almost hit his leg...

"what are you doing?"

He was so annoyed that he subconsciously turned back and shouted.

But immediately reacted, it might be the third young master in the family, and the voice was quickly lowered.

But even so, he regretted it.

He hurriedly shouted to make up for it.

"Third Master, how are you?"

The third master Yan Maoqiu doesn't feel very well!
He was already sick with smoke, and he was slapped on the stomach by Yan Qingzhi just now, and he vomited a long time ago.

But spit it out!
As a result, when the car shook, he, like Yan Qingzhi, also rushed out, chasing after the flying filth, and fell from the seat at Yan Qingzhi's feet, his face buried in In the middle of what I vomited...

That sour...

No, only sour, not cool...

All this happened urgently and coincidentally. If Yan Qingzhi didn't hide quickly, it would inevitably be affected. She smelled the more exciting smell in the carriage, and she couldn't help retching twice.

But it's still not as disgusting as what Yan Maoqiu encountered.
"Waste! How are you... ugh... how are you driving the car... ugh..."

Yan Maoqiu still had the residue of his vomit on his face, but he still did not forget to curse the driver!

Yan Qingzhi buried his head in the curtain of the car, trying not to smell the smell in the car as much as possible.

Although there were chicken feathers at the moment, the carriage finally stopped according to her wishes.

Yan Qingzhi covered her stomach, and she was about to open the curtain.

When Yan Maoqiu saw it, he wiped his face with his sleeve in a panic and was about to pull her.

"Where are you going?"

Yan Qingzhi did not see the shyness and timidity of the woman here at all.

"Can't you see it? I'm going to shit! Let it go, or I'll pull in my pants in a while!"

Yan Maoqiu didn't expect her to be so vulgar, and while frowning and despising her embarrassment, she frightened Yan Qingzhi viciously.

"Don't play tricks with me, just pull in your pants!"

Yan Qingzhi groaned louder while holding her stomach.

"Do you think I'd like to go out! But if you smell the smell here, if I pull it here, we won't be smoked to death in the car, can we still go to the county town alive!"

As he spoke, he began to retching half-truths.

As soon as she retched, Yan Maoqiu felt that the smell around her was even more unpleasant, especially since the two were so close together, the smell of feces on Yan Qingzhi's body was so clear...

"Gang... vomit..."

As soon as he retched, the strength on his hand loosened a little, Yan Qingzhi immediately threw his hand away, lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car.

Seeing her get out of the car, Yan Maoqiu was in a hurry. He didn't care about the smell, so he chased after the car.

The other car who was behind the two-person carriage saw that the car was parked in front of him, and quickly jumped out of the car and followed Yan Qingzhi.

Yan Qingzhi went straight to a big pine tree, turned around and hid behind the tree.

Although it was winter, the ground under the tree was still soft, and in addition to the layer of snow above, there were still many pine needles falling on it.

Yan Qingzhi stepped on it hastily, leaving a few clear small footprints on the ground.

The trunk of the pine tree is not thick among the many tree species. Even such a tall pine tree cannot cover the entire figure of Yan Qingzhi.

But fortunately, her leather jacket looked wide enough, and the people chasing after didn't see anything that shouldn't be seen.

Yan Qingzhi seemed to really have diarrhea, heaving a sigh of relief, sticking out a head from the wide leather jacket, blushing and thick neck turning back and shouting to several men.

"Why are you here? No matter how bad I am, I'm still a girl from the Yan family!"

Several long-term workers had different expressions, and all looked at Yan Maoqiu, who had just chased after him.

Seeing this, Yan Qingzhi snorted coldly, and before he could speak, Yan Qingzhi made a preemptive strike.

"Yan Maoqiu, you can keep your eyes on it from a distance. Such a big tree can't stop me, but if you even care about my shit, don't expect me to stop you all the way!"

Yan Maoqiu's face suddenly became very ugly. Although everyone knew his plan, but knowing in his heart and speaking out were two different things!

Moreover, Yan Qingzhi's expression of "I have something to rely on, you must not dare to hurt me" made Yan Maoqiu really jealous of her.

He couldn't figure out Yan Qingzhi's bottom line, and he thought about what the old man Yan told him when he left that he must not attract attention.

His eyes flickered unconsciously, and he looked at Yan Qingzhi's blushing face that turned to hold back. After hesitating for a moment, he waved and led the person back a little, staring at Yan Qingzhi's leather jacket swaying under the pine tree.

Seeing them retreating, Yan Qingzhi turned her head. She closed her eyes, let out two breaths, and stretched out her trembling hands.

Her movements were all blocked by the wide leather jacket, and Yan Maoqiu couldn't see anything unusual.

Time passed bit by bit, the bright sunlight illuminated the snow-white world brighter and brighter, and only the horses snorted quietly around.

Yan Maoqiu was stared at, and he took the time to wipe his hands and face with snow, but after a while, there was still no movement in Yan Qingzhi's place, which made him a little irritable.

"Yan Qingzhi, hurry up!"

His voice was loud and traveled far and wide on this quiet official road.

It was impossible for Yan Qingzhi, who was squatting under the pine tree, not to hear, but she didn't answer a word.

Yan Maoqiu was immediately very angry.

"Yan Qingzhi, if you don't get up again, I'll go over!"

Yan Maoqiu, who didn't hear the movement for a long time, directly released his big move.

It's a pity that the only answer to him was the cold wind that was wrapped in snow in the suburbs of Lincheng in winter...

Yan Maoqiu, who didn't wait for Yan Qingzhi's voice twice, suddenly had a bad guess in his heart.

Thinking of a possibility, his expression changed, and he strode under the pine tree.

The smelly old leather jacket that Yan Qingzhi wore just now was hanging low on the tree, blocking everything in front of her.

The snow was very clean, and there was no trace of anyone's convenience. There was only a drag mark, which was submerged in a dirt bag in front.

Yan Maoqiu didn't know where he was fooled.

In a panic, he immediately chased after him.

There were no trails behind the earthbag, but instead a row of small footprints.

Apparently someone walked out of here by blocking.

As soon as he saw the footprints, Yan Maoqiu's heart suddenly dropped a lot, and he could chase after traces. Such a child can run no matter how fast he runs!
He hurriedly turned around and greeted the long workers on the carriage.

"Quick! Yan Qingzhi ran away, you all chase after me!"

When a few people heard it, their expressions also changed, and they quickly rushed over to follow the footprints.

Yan Maoqiu was going to go too, but he immediately thought of the carriage again, and hurriedly told the two coachmen to keep them here, and then he left.

The footprints on the ground are very clear, stumbling, and sometimes there are traces of children falling.

Although a few people were worried, they were not too frightened to see such clear traces. Yan Qingzhi was just a child after all.

Even Yan Maoqiu was faintly relieved, and fled in such a hurry, indicating that the other party has no backing in the county.

Just now, she had nothing and everything, so everyone was shocked by her aura and dared not act rashly, but now that she has escaped, there is a flaw in her aura, and it is impossible to scare people like the Yan family. !
