Daughter of General

Chapter 158
Not daring to rest for too long, the two got on their horses and continued walking down the mountain along the river without daring to stay for a moment.Fortunately, there were dry food, water, and broken silver in these people's bags, so the two of them didn't have to look for anything to eat.The only downside is that when the clothes get wet, they don't dare to stay to dry them, so they basically dry them by their body temperature.It is conceivable how terrifying the coldness is.

It's not that Shen Yulan doesn't know the cold, it's not that he doesn't know that it's likely to be cold if it goes on like this, and it's not that he doesn't want to stop to warm himself up.But she dared not stop.Maybe stay here for a while, and a large number of pursuers will catch up later.At that time, even my life might be gone, so why worry about getting sick?Anyway, even if he was ill, as long as he returned to the capital, he would naturally have nothing to worry about.

However, Shen Yulan didn't expect that, until it was dark, she couldn't see a village.

They didn't dare to continue walking randomly at night, because they were afraid of attracting the attention of wild animals, and also afraid of getting lost and not knowing where they were going.So the two had no choice but to find a leeward place, light a fire and stay overnight.Roasting the dry food to satisfy their hunger, they shifted shifts and spent half the night on their own. The next day was bright, and they hurried on their way.

Last night, Shen Yulan felt a little weak all over her body and her nose was stuffy, so she was sure she had a cold.Huoxiang was fine, but she was also very haggard.When it was time for her to sleep, she had nightmares and woke up several times.Seeing it like that made Shen Yulan feel sad for a while - if she had known at the beginning, she would have been obedient and not going out, and this incident would not have happened.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine to buy in the world.Otherwise, she would definitely buy a spare bottle.

However, until now, Shen Yulan himself felt that they were really lucky - if they were unlucky, they would have been arrested as early as the night when the temple flooded that day.Where are you waiting until today?There are also dangers encountered on the road again and again, which all illustrate this point!Even though it has something to do with her own decisive persistence, but more, it is really luck.

Therefore, Shen Yulan couldn't help thinking: Could it be that Mrs. Wu is blessing her in the sky?Or maybe the Buddha saw that she had added a lot of incense money piously over the years, so he made her luckier?

But no matter what the reason is, Shen Yulan is already extremely grateful for this thing of fate - although she has suffered a lot, at least she has gained a lot.Especially after being reborn once more, plus these many accidents...Of course, if she is safe and sound this time, she will definitely be a little more devout.

After walking for another half a day, Shen Yulan finally saw a small village——

That kind of ecstasy almost made Shen Yulan cry on the spot.Even though she didn't shed tears, she and Huoxiang laughed a few times.

Huoxiang was also equally happy: "It can be regarded as coming out!" When they reached a place where there are people, they were considered safe.

Shen Yulan nodded vigorously, and then urged the horse to speed up the pace - the two of them arrived in the village not long after.

After knocking on the door of a house, Shen Yulan asked the way with a smile: "Excuse me, how far is it from the nearest yamen?"

The woman glanced at them vigilantly, and after seeing the embarrassment on their bodies, she showed a look of fear: "Who are you?"

"We went into the mountains to play, and we got lost with our companions. We encountered wild animals on the road, and the beast's blood splashed on our clothes during the fight. Don't worry, sister-in-law. We are all daughters of decent families, but we just know how to do it. If sister-in-law I'm afraid, how about just showing me the way?" Shen Yulan stepped forward, saluted seriously, and said so with a smile.Naturally, he must not dare to tell the truth.Comparing those bandits to wild beasts is similar.Those people are much more terrifying than beasts.As for being able to kung fu - that's for scaring others.Otherwise, if the two girls walk alone on the road, who knows what will happen to them?Even if they are tied up and sold, no one will know!

But most of the people at this time were still simple, and Shen Yulan's words convinced the woman.Not only let the two of them go in, but also brought hot water for her to drink.

Shen Yulan took out a piece of silver at the right time: "If there is something to eat, how about sister-in-law get us something to eat? It doesn't need to be too delicate, just rice. After eating, we have to go to the Yamen. Then ask the government to help us Looking for a companion."

Seeing the silver, the woman naturally became more enthusiastic - not only made rice, but even fried bacon on a plate and brought it out for them to eat.

Shen Yulan and Huoxiang naturally devoured their meals - these days they slept in the open air, they didn't eat anything greasy, and they expended a lot of energy every day, so they were naturally very hungry.Even if there is dry food in the future, the dry food can only satisfy the hunger, and it is not delicious.Of course, in fact, the farm rice and bacon may not be very delicious, but this time, no matter how unpalatable things are on weekdays, as long as they are hot and oily.Everything is delicious!

However, Shen Yulan and Huoxiang both had restraint - they had been starving for too long, and they didn't see any oil. If they suddenly ate too much, their stomachs would definitely not be able to bear it.

After eating enough, Shen Yulan didn't stay any longer, only asked the way, and planned to go on the road in a hurry.

It was the woman who reminded: "You two ladies, why don't you rent a carriage, otherwise this appearance will make people look at it, and it's really inappropriate." After thinking about it, she said: "If you don't mind, I'll take two more. Change clothes for the two girls?"

Shen Yulan nodded, and readily took out a piece of silver; "In this case, I will trouble my sister-in-law. When I pass by another day, I will come to the door to thank you. As for the carriage, I will have my sister-in-law to help us. It's just us We need to leave as soon as possible, and ask my sister-in-law to take us there as soon as possible. The money is still easy to talk about. Even if we don’t have enough money now, when we get to the town, we can naturally scrape together the money.”

"It doesn't take much, at most one or two taels of silver is enough. It is not far from here to the town, and it will take half a day at most. But if we start now, I am afraid that we will have to walk at night. Walking at night Road silver is naturally more expensive." After getting silver again, the sister-in-law naturally smiled even more, and her face almost turned into a bright flower.The suggestion was even more thoughtful; "I'll bake some cakes for the two ladies. Don't worry, the uncle next door to us is driving the car. Although he's a little old, he's old-fashioned."

Shen Yulan naturally nodded.The other party just wanted to make more money, and he really didn't have any bad intentions—although the other party took the money, he could tell that it was the best thing the family could produce.The same goes for clothes.Although they are not new and the colors are not good-looking, they are all unpatched.It's not like what the woman herself wears, it's all patches.

After such a toss, it was already afternoon when we set off.Shen Yulan didn't listen to the persuasion, and insisted on going on the road - at this time, if you stay longer, it will be dangerous.Who knows if those people will catch up?You still have to wait until you get to the Yamen, so you can feel at ease.

Yes, Shen Yulan planned to go to the yamen to report the case, and then let the yamen's guards escort him back to the capital.It's not too far from the capital here.

The handlebar style is really old, at least 50 years old, and the beard is gray.His back was slightly burdened, but his face was full of energy and red.The handlebar style didn't ask much, maybe it's because the woman told him.

It was Shen Yulan who inquired about the journey to the capital: "How far is it from the capital to the town?"

"There is still a short day to go. If you start in the morning, you can arrive in the afternoon. If the two young ladies want to go, I can also make the trip, as long as you add some money. After a while, you can go through the official route, which is very safe. So it is cheaper than the road to the town." The handlebar type replied after taking a puff of dry tobacco, and after thinking about it, he said: "Miss, these two horses are really good, compared to my horse, but It’s much better. I’m afraid, it can compete with the military horse.”

"In this case, let's use our horses to pull the cart. Uncle, your horses can run along." Shen Yulan smiled, and said: "This way you can travel faster."

The handlebar hesitated for a moment, "If the two ladies are in a hurry, you can change it. The lady will give you less money."

"There will be no shortage of money. Uncle, don't worry." Shen Yulan said with a smile.

The handlebar style is to stop the carriage and change the horse.Because there are two horses pulling the cart alternately, the handlebars move the cart faster.

Shen Yulan retreated into the carriage and rested on the cushion of the carriage—to be honest, she knew that her cold was getting worse.Now my whole body is hot, my head is dizzy, but my bones are sore. This is a sign of a low-grade fever.

But thinking that she would be safe soon, Shen Yulan felt better.

Seeing Shen Yulan like this, Huo Xiang couldn't bear Shen Yulan to suffer any longer, so she said, "Come on, lean on me and sleep for a while. I'm not tired, I'll watch over you." Because she was afraid that the handlebars might hear you , so Huoxiang didn't dare to call Miss, she vaguely expressed her meaning, and didn't say much.She said guarding, but not guarding Shen Yulan, but guarding the handlebars - the heart of defense is indispensable.

Shen Yulan couldn't hold it anymore, she nodded and fell asleep drowsily with Huoxiang.

Falling asleep and falling asleep, but I don’t know how to start the dream—dream of many men in black chasing and killing her viciously with swords, she ran with all her might, terrified, but those people never gave up, Keep chasing and chasing.Or, when the screen changes, I dream of Mrs. Wu coming.I dreamed that Mrs. Wu died tragically.Or else, it was dreaming that she killed someone, and the blood splashed on her body, scorching hot, as if burning her whole body.

Shen Yulan was woken up by fright at the end—when she opened her eyes, she saw someone lift the curtain of the carriage and look into the carriage, which shocked her greatly.
