Chapter 2 Leaving Home
It was night, and the entire Jiang Mansion was immersed in tranquility.

But this tranquility was soon broken.

There was a burst of exclamation in the bedroom of Jiang Shangshu and his wife.

"Come on, come on! It's water, it's water!"

"Ah, come quickly! The main courtyard is flooded, hurry up and put out the fire, cough cough cough."

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of "哐", and Jiang Shangshu and his wife put their clothes on their bodies indiscriminately, their hair was disheveled, and they hurried out in disgrace.

"Wow—"

Jiang Shangshu and Qin Shi were running to the door, when a bucket of cold water came towards them.The bucket of water poured them both from head to toe.Jiang Shangshu's disheveled hair was still covered with vegetable leaves.

"Bold! Who splashed the water!" Jiang Shangshu's nose was almost crooked, and his hair was still dripping with water.

"Master...it's a villain, and the villain is eager to put out the fire...He rushed here with a bucket of water from the kitchen...Master, please forgive me, please forgive me." A servant fell to his knees with a plop, trembling all over, and quickly kowtowed spare my life.

"What's the use of raising you in the house! Do all of you eat rice?"

"If you can't even do this well, get out tomorrow!"

Jiang Shangshu's voice was resonant, without the slightest panic and fear just now. At this moment, he was teaching his servants with his hands on his hips.

The servants hung their heads one by one, and they were suddenly awakened by screams in the middle of the night, not to mention that they came to put out the fire, and they were still being punished at this time.

"Bah, you deserve it." Jiang Yu, who had been hiding in the corner silently watching all this, couldn't help but spit.

Thinking of Jiang Shangshu and his wife's face blackened by smoke and the embarrassment of being splashed with vegetable washing water just now, Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing.She pushed open the dog hole that had been covered in advance with her hands, leaned over and climbed out of the wall.

She patted the dust off her body and left without looking back.

Facing this strange world alone, where should she go next?

Early the next morning.

Jiang Shangshu went to the palace to go to the court without hesitation, experienced a fire incident, and reprimanded him for being a servant all night, his eyes were black and blue.He yawned several times, squinted his eyes and reluctantly let Qin Shi help him put on his official uniform.

"Master, be careful on the road, remember to come back early after the next court." Qin helped Jiang Shangshu smooth the wrinkles on the official uniform.

Jiang Shangshu was very impatient and asked him to come back earlier, he was so tired, where else could he go if he didn't go back to the mansion after the court?He replied Qin shi perfunctorily, picked up the official hat, put it on his head, and left.

The carriage was already waiting in front of the door.The sky at Yinshi was not so bright yet, but it was not so bright that people could not be seen clearly.

"Look at his hat, on it..." Just as Jiang Shangshu went out, a child pointed at his hat.

Even though the adult next to him hurriedly covered the child's mouth, it was still a step too late. The child's innocent words had already attracted passers-by.

Passers-by took a closer look and saw that there was something on the hat. They covered their mouths to keep from laughing, and then hurried forward.

Jiang Shangshu blushed with anger, dared to make fun of the court ministers! He took off his hat, only to see two large characters written in ink on the hat: scum!

His face suddenly turned livid, and he yelled sharply, "Who did it!"

The housekeeper hurriedly ran forward: "Master, it's not good, just now the woman in the second girl's room came to report, but the second girl disappeared early in the morning, and even the gold and silver in the house disappeared. "

Jiang Shangshu looked at the housekeeper suddenly, his eyes widened with anger, he stepped forward and kicked over the stirrup on the ground, it must be Jiang Yu!It must have been Jiang Yu, that rebellious woman who set fire to the main courtyard, and then escaped in the chaos!

And his official hat, she must have done it too!How dare she, Jiang Yu, make him embarrass himself in public!
"Why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and send someone to catch that little hoof!"

Stone Wind Town.

The sun was about to set, and the afterglow dyed most of the sky golden.Smoke rose from the chimneys of the houses in the town.

"Oh girl, it's getting dark now. Are you renting this house? Eight taels of silver a year can't be lower." The dark-skinned old man was wearing a gray jacket, probably It was still a little cold at the beginning of spring, and the old man put his hands into his sleeves.As soon as he spoke, he could vaguely see a little breath.

Jiang Yu touched the purse hanging on her body, gritted her teeth: "Rent."

Because the original owner was not favored, Jiang Yu took all the original owner's jewelry with her before leaving home, and only exchanged 40 taels of silver for it at the pawn shop.In addition, I have been traveling all the way these days, and I spent money staying in the inn to eat, so now I only have thirty taels of silver left.

The old man took his hand out of his sleeve, took out the key from his pocket, and handed it to Jiang Yu with a smile.

Jiang Yu opened the door, and because the house was unoccupied all year round, a smell of dust came over her face.Opening the door is the main room, where a black lacquered cauldron is placed firmly on the hearth made of mud and straw.Going further inside and turning a corner is the West Room, the afterglow penetrates through the paper-pasted windows, and a touch of gold shines on the small table on the kang.Opposite to the west room is the east room. The furnishings of the east room are roughly the same as those of the west room, except that there are two more wooden boxes for clothes and sundries than the west room.

Jiang Yu put the burden on the small table on the kang, rolled up her sleeves and began to clean the dust in the room.

……

When night falls, even the stars hide in the clouds and dare not come out.There is no light in the dark night.

"I've searched carefully, but I can't let him run away!" There was a faint light of a torch in the forest, and the leading man in black ordered coldly.

"He was seriously injured and fell off the cliff. He must not have run far. The higher-ups have explained that if you want to see people, you need to see dead bodies." There was another noisy footsteps.

Where the shadows of the tree were mottled, a man in a crow-blue robe was leaning on the tree trunk. He covered his chest with his left hand, and the bright red blood dripped down his sleeve to the ground, staining the dark yellow dead leaves.His black hair fell down, covering most of his face.

He staggered forward, his chest heaving rapidly, blood seeping from his clenched teeth.After falling off the cliff and waking up, he couldn't remember who he was. He only knew that someone was chasing him, so he could only run forward.

It was gradually getting brighter, and he didn't know how long he had been running and where he had been.The wounds on his body couldn't support him anymore, and he couldn't hold on anymore.

Finally, when he walked in front of a house, his eyes darkened, and he fell down again.
