after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 214 Smoke
Chapter 214 Smoke
Lin Yuesha successfully found the entrance of the secret passage according to the map marks given by Mazilian.

She pointed to a hole, and said to Jiang Baozhu, "It's right here. If you go down from here, you'll have to walk at least dozens of miles before you can enter the poor gate."

Lin Yuesha moved her ankle, and she was even more grateful to Pocky Face. If it wasn't for his help in setting her bones, even if she went back, her legs and feet would be crippled.

"Dozens of miles?"

Jiang Baozhu's complexion changed suddenly, she just wanted to run back quickly, completely forgetting about the distance.

At the beginning when they were transferred, everyone was in a carriage, but now, she and Lin Yuesha could only walk back on their legs. In case the barbarians would catch up, it was better to run.

"Sister Baozhu, I'll go down first, you follow me behind, we have to move faster."

Grandma Wu said that Pockmarked Face was waiting at the entrance of the secret road, and Lin Yuesha didn't see anyone, so she was worried that something might happen.

Before she had time to think too much, Lin Yuesha got into the hole and jumped down the steps, feeling a gust of fishy and cold wind rushing towards her face.

There is wind, which means that the following is at least transparent, and it will not be a dead end.

There was a pine oil lamp on the wall, but it couldn't clearly illuminate the road under her feet. Lin Yuesha lit a fire and looked around. The secret passage was narrow and narrow.

Afterwards, Jiang Baozhu jumped down, and in order to make it easier for her to lift the hem of her skirt, she tied a knot at the front. The two held hands and ran forward without slowing down.

"Sister Yuesha, I can't do it anymore."

After running for about three to five miles, Jiang Baozhu's legs and feet were weak, and he couldn't help but sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

No matter in her previous life or in this life, she rarely went out, let alone ran such a long distance.

Lin Yuesha was also exhausted, but now was not the time to rest, the two had to persevere, the farther away from the barbarian's territory the safer.

"Sister Baozhu, eat two compressed biscuits I made to replenish your strength, we can't delay."

As Lin Yuesha said, she took out an oiled paper bag from her bosom and handed it to Jiang Baozhu.

Jiang Baozhu was really hungry, she took it embarrassedly, and saw that it was only a small piece, she wondered, "What is this?"

Small and hard, the taste is ok.

"The compressed biscuits I made have walnuts in them. Don't underestimate them, just a small piece is enough to satisfy your hunger."

Lin Yuesha was preparing to escape, and she had already lost her heavy items. She only had a small package with her, which contained a bamboo tube filled with water, handkerchiefs, compressed biscuits and fire pockets, a dagger, and a little silver.

"It's still your thoughtfulness, I can only drag you down."

Jiang Baozhu smiled wryly, and took out a few shortbreads from her package. In the morning, she exchanged them with hairpins from the people in the big kitchen. After running all the way, the outer skins were already torn.

"No, at least I can't eat shortbread without you by my side."

Lin Yuesha picked up a piece, and added sugar and sesame seeds to the shortbread. Because of the cold weather, it had already solidified, and the outer skin was crispy. White sugar can also quickly replenish physical strength.

The two leaned together, ate something quickly, and continued to run forward again.

There were no oil lamps in the secret passage ahead, it was pitch black everywhere, and the top of the head became lower and lower.

Lin Yuesha guessed that this was a small road, which was not in the same place as the one where they drove the carriage before, and it could only accommodate two people at most.

"Sister Yuesha, there is still a big rock under my feet."

Jiang Baozhu stepped on the stone and almost twisted her ankle. Thanks to Lin Yuesha's support, she stabilized her figure and did not fall.

The road ahead is long and dark, but a little light can be seen in the secret road.

Even if he kept going forward and knew that he was far away from the barbarian's territory, Jiang Baozhu felt gloomy and desperate in his heart, because he couldn't see the end and didn't know where the way out was.

"Sister Baozhu, don't worry, we can definitely go out."

Lin Yuesha was very optimistic, entirely out of her trust in Pockmarked Face.

"Ah."

Jiang Baozhu responded softly, but not very confidently.

In order to save energy, the two did not continue talking.

After running for about an hour, Lin Yuesha was already sweating profusely, and the front was still dark, but there was a pungent smell in the air.

"Cough cough!"

Jiang Baozhu coughed twice, and quickly covered her nose and mouth with her hands, "Sister Yuesha, why is there so much black smoke here?"

"It seems to be in the water."

Lin Yuesha thought for a moment, then turned on the fire folder, the light of the fire illuminated the secret passage, and there was black smoke ahead.

If someone burns things, black smoke billows, and the two move forward rashly, safety cannot be guaranteed.

But after walking so far, Lin Yuesha would not be reconciled if she retreated.

Jiang Baozhu didn't speak, she was waiting for Lin Yuesha to make a decision, because she was already panicking.

"Sister Baozhu, do you still have handkerchiefs and water?"

Lin Yuesha opened the bamboo tube from the package, soaked the veil with water, and covered her mouth and nose.

"some."

Jiang Baozhu followed suit, and probably understood what Lin Yuesha meant.

"Although there is a lot of black smoke, it doesn't look like it was burned on a large scale. Let's bow down and try to minimize our breathing."

It is impossible to retreat, only to continue to move forward, there are risks before and after, at least moving forward may have good results.

Staying by Lan Yanzhu's side, Lin Yuesha was trembling, fearing that she would be played to death. It was useless for her to be careful, she was pinched in Lan Yanzhu's palm from the beginning to the end, unable to resist.

"it is good."

Jiang Baozhu readily agreed, she had no idea, and everything was up to Lin Yuesha.

The two entered the thick smoke, and Sa Yazi ran wildly. After running for a hundred or so meters, the thick smoke in front of them became thinner and thinner.

"Someone burned something, it should be not far away."

Lin Yuesha saw the point of fire and the sparks, obviously that person didn't go far.

The other party didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend. If it was a barbarian, they couldn't fight against it with their physical strength.

The two discussed and decided to continue walking forward, no matter who they should meet, they would not be able to hide.

"Sister Yuesha..."

In the dark, Jiang Baozhu stepped on a lump, she tremblingly said, "It seems to be a person."

Lin Yuesha stopped, lit the torch, and looked carefully.

In the secret passage, lay a middle-aged woman. The woman's eyes were closed tightly, and she was still breathing. She seemed to have passed out.

"Aunt Zhao?"

The middle-aged woman's face was a little dirty, but Jiang Baozhu recognized it.

"Sister Baozhu, do you recognize her?"

Seeing that the woman came from Daqi, Lin Yuesha was hesitating whether to wake her up, but she turned out to be Jiang Baozhu's acquaintance.

"We were locked in the cellar together, and then my aunt Zhao and I were selected to do sewing in the sewing room."

Jiang Baozhu explained that Aunt Zhao is a nice person, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she was with Aunt Zhao before she went to Lin Yuesha.

Manzi threw a lot of worn clothes, although Jiang Baozhu was good at sewing, her hands and feet were not so agile, most of them were taken over by Aunt Zhao, who took good care of her without any complaints.
