Chang'an is good

Chapter 3 Did you run away?
On a spring night, the moonlight is cold and silent.

In Zhoujia Village, the sound of the donkey cart driving caused a barking of dogs.

The villagers here are different from other places. Even in the middle of the night, some people will light up the lights and come out to check if they hear the sound, they are extremely vigilant.

The girl hiding in a pile of funeral papers in the donkey cart looked at the four or five lights that lit up one after another, and said in a low voice, "Just drive the cart, don't look around."

"That's the car of Old Shuan's family. Why does he go out in the middle of the night?"

"You don't know yet, but this time, Lao Shuan sent out a large... It is said to be a rare and good product."

"Tsk, Lao Shuan has had really good luck these past few years..."

"Just missing a son."

"Didn't the family raise one! After another two years, I will find a wife and come back. After giving birth to a grandson, it will be my own!"

A few men shrank their necks and rolled their sleeves, talking and laughing here, and shouted in the direction of the donkey cart ahead: "Old Shuan! Why do you have to go out to deliver goods in the middle of the night?"

"Yes, beware of running into ghosts on the way! Old Shuan, do you want us to go together?"

In the night, the driver of the car froze, his voice trembling like a mosquito: "What... what should I do..."

The voice from the car behind said: "Go, hurry up."

"Um…!"

Wearing an old lambskin hat of a middle-aged man, and wrapped in a heavy cotton coat to hide his figure in the night, the boy's heart was about to pop out, so he dared to keep his eyes on the front and drive the donkey cart even faster.

"Old Shuan, what's wrong?"

"Why don't you agree?"

Several people looked at each other, and their faces changed immediately.

"Quick, go to his house and have a look!"

"Lao Liu, follow me!"

Soon, the village resounded with the sound of gongs that could only be heard when walking by the water.

They are not well-trained military servants, but the words "one loss and one loss" are engraved in their bones, and their vigilance is far beyond ordinary people-people are often very spontaneous in the face of interests, especially interests that come from wrong sources. , is neither learned nor taught.

"Quick! Catch them!"

Except for the two who ran to chase at the beginning, someone soon came after them on a mule.

Hearing the voices getting closer and closer behind him, and thinking of the terrible consequences after being captured, the boy's forehead was covered with sweat, and there was only one voice in his head—sure enough, it is impossible to escape!

The next moment, he suddenly felt a wind blowing behind him.

The girl who was hiding among the funeral objects suddenly got up, jumped up, sat on the wooden board beside the boy, grabbed the donkey rope from the boy's hand with one hand, and raised the whip with the other hand, saying: "Sit tight If you fall, I won't turn around and save you."

The donkey cart accelerated sharply and rushed forward.

The boy held onto the car board tightly, and for a moment, he could only see the girl's half-wrapped ponytail flying, and the yellow and white paper money on her shoulder blown off.

Seeing the donkey cart in front getting faster and faster, the people chasing them on mules gradually became irritable.

"This damn... is it a donkey cart?!"

Running so fast, don't talk about him, donkeys dare to believe it!

Under the disparity in speed, the driver in front chose a fork in the road that confused his eyes. After chasing like this for half an hour, he finally completely lost him.

The voices in Zhou's Village were chaotic, and most of the villagers woke up and ran towards Lizheng's house one after another.

"Old Chuan's house is full of blood!"

"A half-dead little lady... How is that possible!"

"Why hasn't the third child come back? Can't we really let her run away?!"

"I don't believe in evil anymore. No one has ever been able to escape from here alive!"

"Lizheng, what do you think should be done?"

"What's the hurry, can we get out of Zhoujia Village, and Hezhou?" The man in the cloak sitting in the chair looked impatient: "Although it won't be a big deal, such a disturbance is troublesome enough! When we go to the city to manage, each family will pay ten taels of silver first, and then let Lao Shuan make up for it later."

Although there were some unwilling people among the crowd, they could only follow after complaining a few words.

Listening to these words, the lame woman who was pouring water for the crowd pursed her chapped lips.

……

Did you really escape?
The boy sat on the donkey cart, still sweating, and looked back in the direction of Zhoujia Village, which he had not seen for a long time.

"We...really escaped?" The boy looked at the girl's unreal profile and asked cautiously.

He didn't dare to have such a dream for a long time.

I dreamed about it when I was young, and after waking up, he would always wipe tears for a long time in the dark night with his body covered in injuries.

But I heard the girl looking in front of me say: "Not yet."

The boy froze.

The girl glanced at the official road ahead, judged the direction, and headed east.

When the sky was about to light up, the donkey cart stopped slowly in front of the city gate.

The girl looked up and looked at the word Hezhou on the city wall——

At first when she heard the couple speak, they spoke with a Hezhou accent.

She has been familiar with Dasheng Yutu since she was a child, and she has been to Hezhou, so she judged the official way to enter the city based on her memory.

Therefore, this world is still the original world, everything is the same, but she "resurrected" in another body.

As soon as the fifth watch passed, the city gate slowly opened.

The city gate guard yawned and began his day's inspection.

Quite a few people lined up outside the city gate, most of the people who entered the city at this time were small vendors rushing to the morning market, two teenagers in ordinary clothes, one big and one small, who were pulling funeral things on donkey carts, were not among the crowd. Eye-catching.

The guard waved his hand to let them go, but did not check the contents of the car.

Listening to the two guards chatting and laughing, the girl lowered her eyes.

Although it is not necessary to be too strict about people entering and leaving the city under the rule of Yuzhou when it is not a war or an emergency, the lax attitude of these guards shows that the rule of Hezhou is too lax and there is no law at all.

So, no wonder.

After entering the city, it was already dark.

"Go and buy ten buns." The girl took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the boy: "I only eat meat buns."

The boy looked at the steamed stuffed bun stand she was pointing at, stepped forward cautiously, handed over the broken silver with both hands, and said very seriously: "Ten... meat buns."

"Here!" When he held the buns back in front of the girl, there was an inexplicable look in his eyes, as if he had completed a very distant and extraordinary event.

The girl took the water bottle from the donkey cart, poured water to wash her hands, picked up a bun and bit into it.

The steamed stuffed buns are hot, and after eating, one can clearly know that one is still alive.

Only the living can eat.

It's good to be alive.

The girl who ate five buns looked at the boy standing there motionless, thought for a while, picked up a bun, and told him: "This is a bun, something you can eat."

The boy froze.

It's not that he didn't know that it was a bun...

"Can I...can I eat it too?" He asked uncertainly.

Meeting those always cautious eyes, the girl nodded and handed him the bun.

The girl's fingertips are slender and fair, even more delicate than the soft buns in her hands, and they glow softly in the morning light.

The boy looked at her and was stunned for a long time before reaching out to take it.

While eating steamed stuffed buns, the girl and a fellow traveler found out where Liu Ke Lane was.

……

"How should I say it, do you remember it?"

The boy suppressed his anxiety and nodded: "I remember."

In Liu Ke Lane, there are only three families in total.

And the only place on the plaque outside the gate does not have the house name, but only the four characters "Jingfeng Bieyuan".

The boy led the donkey cart to the back door of the other courtyard, swallowed nervously, and mustered up the courage to knock on the door.
