Chapter 129

This maid named Axiu is not her maid.

Earlier, when she was offering incense in the temple, she accidentally fell down the back mountain and was almost bitten by a snake. It was this girl who rescued her and carried her back.

The girl claimed to be looking for relatives, because she was stranded here because of stolen money and a guide. The old woman was grateful, and she was willing to take her for a ride with the monks in the temple as security.

The girl who called herself Axiu was quiet along the way, either serving the old woman, or sitting in a corner embroidering shoe uppers, saying that she could sell them after she had defected to her relatives. There is real craftsmanship.

The old woman who has been with her for a few days likes this girl very much and is willing to take her in for a little longer.

Axiu—naturally Qixing's pseudonym, she declined after hearing the words.

Everyone has relatives, and the old lady no longer wants to keep them.

Qixing got out of the car, watched the old lady, mother and son gallop into the city, and did not immediately continue on the road, but looked behind what had just passed by.

Sure enough, as she expected, Huo Lian knew about it, and the news must have been leaked.

So she didn't rush to Bailou Town rashly. If the government really knew about the Momen gathering in Bailou Town, they would definitely question outsiders.

She's going to come in through the locals.

Sure enough, the officers and soldiers cleared the road one after another, and there were many sentry posts in the mountains, forests and rivers.

The head election is not fair this time.

Even, it is a trap.

As night fell, a group of officers and soldiers escorted a prison car slowly towards the city. Four or five people were crowded in the prison car, some were crying, some were scolding, and some were begging.

"Master Bing, I'm really not a bandit."

"How can you arrest people indiscriminately? Now, if you don't have a local accent, you will be exploited?"

"Brother, don't talk nonsense, these military masters won't listen, there is no reason for me to wait for the little people."

The leading officers and soldiers reprimanded angrily: "Be honest."

When the prison car was quiet, he sneered again.

"We don't bother to arrest people, it's just an order from the errand, there's nothing we can do."

"You will be safe and sound. After entering the city and questioning, I will let you go."

"if--"

Before he could utter the threat, a night wind blew by the side of the road, the tip of his nose was cold, the next moment the horse neighed, and he was thrown off the horse.

The sky was spinning, and there were shouts in my ears. It seemed that everyone was thrown off their horses in an instant.

"Enemy attack—"

At the same time, there was a creaking sound, and the prison car was cut off and scattered, and the people in the prison car screamed and rolled.

The scholar cleverly held his head, and was about to get off the car, but was grabbed the next moment, and before he came to remember to scream, he was thrown onto the horse's back.

Someone jumped up from the nearby horse, with a slender figure in the night, flicking the whip in his hand.

"Walk--"

The two empty horses galloped away on the mountain road, and the noise of officers and soldiers chasing after them gradually faded away. Qixing, who was standing in the forest, continued to walk forward at a fast pace, with the scholar closely behind.

"It turns out that the lady is from the same family." He said with a sigh of relief.

Qixing didn't answer, but only asked, "Are you also here to participate in the hero meeting?"

The scholar was a little ashamed: "I got sick on the way and was delayed, so I just arrived now." At the same time, I felt fortunate that I only arrived now, otherwise I wouldn't have found any problems.

"What's going on? Is this a trap set by the government? Could it be that everyone inside has been arrested?"

Qixing couldn't answer his question either.

"You find a safe place to hide." She just said, "I'll go and see what's inside."

The scholar nodded, regained his senses, and grabbed the girl.

"What did you say?" he asked, "Are you still going to Bailou Town?"

Knowing that there is a problem, knowing that there are many officers and soldiers, she still wants to throw herself into the trap?

Qi Xing said: "So many fellow students are in Bailou Town, we can't ignore it, don't worry, I will do what I can."

The scholar did not let go.

"Do what you can, and everyone in my generation regards it as a rule." He said, "But after this sentence, there is another sentence: if you can do what you can, you will go through fire and water, and you will die soon."

In the dark mountain forest, he saw the girl across from him smiling, revealing her fine white teeth.

"People in my generation should be like this."

Outside Bailou Town in the early morning, the river is turbulent.

A father and daughter came to collect the fishing nets early in the morning. In the past few days, the old lady of the Bai family celebrated her birthday, and she used a lot of chicken, duck and fish, and the price was extremely high.

The father and daughter were happily pulling the fishing net, when suddenly they heard the sound of splashing into the water, and the water splashed in the river.

"Help me."

The female voice exclaimed.

Someone fell into the water, and the father and daughter hurried over, crossing a clump of reeds, and saw a young girl struggling in the river.

The father and daughter quickly rescued the girl.

The girl was drenched all over and seemed unable to speak.

Fortunately, the father and daughter's home was not far away, and they helped the girl to rush home, and the pot was just heated up, and the boiling water was used for the girl to soak.

"Why is it so wet, it seems like it has been soaked in water for a long time." The woman in the family sighed.

The man doesn't care about these little things: "I'm afraid of struggling hard, so I must be soaked."

Qixing in the room poked his head out of the barrel and exhaled lightly.

Yes, that’s right, she dived past the sentry post on the Guanfu River last night and entered the range of Bailou Town. aware.

Soon she washed up, changed into the daughter's old clothes and came out, thanking the family.

"Why did you fall into the water?" the woman asked, looking at the girl again, "You are not from the neighborhood, are you?"

Qixing nodded: "I'm from Beixiang, and I learned that there is a big banquet in Bailou Town, so I brought my family's things to the market to sell them. The business is really good. I brought them and sold them out, so I wanted to catch some more fish."

Speaking of this, I look ashamed.

"I've never caught a fish, but I fell into the water instead."

The family all laughed.

"Fish is not easy to catch," said Amei, the girl of the family. "If you want to learn, I will teach you."

Qixing shook her head with lingering fear: "Stop learning, my mother always said that people should not be greedy, so I should come fishing."

The family laughed again, and brought ginger soup to Qixing. Qixing drank while watching the family clean up, and the fresh fish danced in the fish basket.

"Are you going to the Bai's house to sell fish?" Qi Xing said, "Let me recite it for you. I still have a bill at the Bai's house, so I just went to get it back home."

The family looked at each other, and agreed that this was not a big deal.

"You go with our sister, so that her father can go fishing again." The woman said heartily, "It can be considered that you helped us catch one more fish."

Qixing thanked him again, and after a simple breakfast, he and his sister went to town with a fish basket on their backs.

The two chatted and laughed and came to the town soon, and they heard the noise of gongs and drums from a distance, and there were even more people crowded outside the Baijia Manor.

Amei greeted the handyman guarding the gate familiarly.

"There are a lot of fish this time." The handyman said with a smile. He recognized Amei and looked at Qixing, and he didn't think it was strange.

A-mei responded, and walked inward with Qixing, when suddenly they heard gongs and drums on the other side, mixed with clamor and applause.

Qixing looked over.

"There are jugglers over there." A-mei was beaming, "Madam Bai also came to see it in person, hurry up, we sent the fish to watch."

Qixing smiled: "Okay."
