Chapter 21

Murong Zhining and Caisang just walked out of the gate of the general's mansion, "brushing" flashed two white lights, two steel swords in front of them. The two guards at the gate held knives and stared at them fiercely.

Murong Zhining and Caisang are escorted back to the yard by the bodyguard. Caisang sits at the stone table, holding his cheek in frustration, and looks at the opposite Murong Zhining. Murong Zhining also looked at Caisang with her hand on her cheek: "I forgot that there would be someone at the gate of the general's mansion. We can think of other ways. By the way, next time we go over the wall. " Caisang nodded his head hard: "HMM.".

The gate of the courtyard was kicked from the outside with a loud bang. Caisang screamed in horror and shrank behind Murong Zhining.

Chiyun Yuexuan, like a infernal Shura, walked into the courtyard with a whip in his hand. There was no emotion in his long, narrow and charming eyes, only a fierce and frightening light, followed by several bodyguards.

Chiyun Yuexuan said nothing, but took the whip in his hand and drew it to Murong Zhining. Caisang exclaimed, and rushed to the front to protect Murong Zhining with her body. Chiyun Yuexuan kicks Caisang down with a ferocious kick. The whip and raindrops fall on Murong Zhining. Caisang cries and gets up again, protecting in front of Murong Zhining.

Chiyun Yuexuan collected the whip in his hand, and his voice was cold: "this time it's just a small lesson. If there's another time, it's the end of the game..." He waved the whip out of his hand and wrapped it around a nearby tree with thick arms. He turned his hand back to the area, and the tree was uprooted and fell to the ground.

Caisang shivers with fear, holding Murong Zhining tightly. After chiyun Yuexuan left, Caisang painstakingly wiped the ointment for Murong Zhining. Fortunately, chiyun Yuexuan just wanted to frighten them, but he didn't have a very heavy hand.

Picking mulberry side wipe medicine side scold: "animal.". The emperor is not willing to move a finger Murong Zhining has a raised whip trace on her face. Caisang gently caresses her face and tears fall like beads.

Murong Zhining was not frightened, which strengthened her determination to escape. She told herself that next time she could not be so reckless, she had to make a detailed plan.

In the next few days, Murong Zhining is trying to find a way. Caisang looked at her melancholy: "otherwise, let's not run away. Let's stay here and scold general Yun. Aren't we not embarrassed?" Murong Zhining's eyes are firm: "the most important thing for people to live is freedom. There is another thing more important than freedom." Murong Zhining wants to make her happy by selling a pass to Caisang.

Caisang was eager to know the answer, but didn't want to use his brain, so he asked, "what is that?" Murong Zhining poked her forehead: "don't tell you." Caisang said angrily, "you'll bully me if I haven't read a book, but I still treat you as a teacher." Murong Zhining put up her smiling face. Her eyes were red and she looked at Caisang's eyes seriously: "it's dignity. A man without dignity will live like a beast. A dignified person, even if trampled on by others, has a high head. " Caisang nodded her head if she understood.

Murong Zhining keeps on planning the escape. Caisang is impressed and moved by her persistence. A few days later, a starry night, Murong Zhining with Caisang began the escape plan.

Since the last escape, the gate has been locked every day. Murong Zhining and Caisang are cutting the bed sheets and cloth curtains into strips and weaving them into rope ladders these days. Murong Zhining threw the rope ladder secretly woven these days on the wall, and the rope ladder was easily and stably hung on the wall. Caisang helped Murong Zhining to the wall first. The inner wall was not too high. They went to the courtyard without much effort.

The outermost wall is not so easy to cross. The wall was too high. The rope ladder was thrown several times, but it didn't hang up. At this time, a guard came to patrol. They squatted down and hid in the bushes.

Caisang was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe and was caught again. She couldn't even think of the consequences.

After the bodyguard left, Caisang patted his chest and gasped heavily. Murong Zhining smiles and shakes her head, then stands up and throws a rope ladder on the wall. Caisang secretly admires Murong Zhining's courage and perseverance. Soon, the rope ladder caught the upturned cornice outside the wall.

Murong Zhining supports Caisang to go up first. She is afraid to put Caisang in the back. Caisang will be afraid. Caisang climbs to half, as expected because is too nervous, a loose hand, "Gudong" falls down. She just wanted to hum, Murong Zhining covered her mouth.

Murong Zhining silently touched the top of Caisang's head to encourage her to climb up again. Caisang is very competitive this time. She climbed up steadily, rode on the wall and waved to Murong Zhining.

Murong Zhining did not hesitate at all. She learned how to pick mulberry and sat on the top of the wall, throwing the rope ladder to the outer wall. When they stood outside the wall, they realized that they had really escaped from the general's mansion. They held each other in surprise, and soon disappeared into the night hand in hand.

In the morning of the next day, there were two young people with white skin at the gate of the city. They passed the examination smoothly and walked calmly to the official road outside the city, disappearing at the end of the road.

Murong Zhining and Caisang are dressed in men's clothes, running and laughing freely in the fields. They haven't seen the outside world for several years. They are as happy as two birds that have just escaped from the cage. Last night, they wandered in the streets of the city, stole two men's clothes which were hung outside and escaped from Shangjing in disguise.Murong Zhining and Caisang all the way to the people to listen to the direction, fighting noisily to go forward. The next afternoon, they found hetang'ao. Hetang'ao hasn't changed in recent years. They can see Yin's family far away on the hillside.

Yin's sitting in the yard spinning thread, see two strange young students into her yard. She was a rural woman, and she seemed a little restrained: "what can I do for you, boys?" Murong Zhining cried excitedly, "adoptive mother, I'm little linger." Caisang also ran to squat in front of her: "aunt, I am Er Ya."

Yin didn't react for a moment and was stunned. She rubbed her eyes slowly with her hands as if she wanted to see better. Murong Zhining kneels in front of her: "have you forgotten me? I'm little linger. You picked it up outside the village six years ago. Think again. "

Yin is very excited. She grabs Murong Zhining's hand and says, "it's really little linger. It's really you." Yin recognized Caisang at the same time. She hugged Caisang and sobbed: "good boy, I am heartbroken at the thought of your dishonorable father and father selling your mother and daughter. It's all right, just come back. "

Yin's surprised to see the two girls, rubbing hands at a loss, and after a long time happily said: "I'll find clothes for you and change them, and then make you a meal. When your adoptive father comes back, the family will have a happy meal."

Murong Zhining and Caisang change into two sets of coarse cloth clothes handed by Yin family. They were worn at home by Yin family's daughter before she married. Although the clothes are coarse and old, they are clean and comfortable to wear. "This is what your sister Xiaohua used to wear at home. She married to the next village. Her man is a teacher." Murong Zhining also remembered that when Yin adopted her, she had a son, a daughter and two children.

Yin happily went to the kitchen to cook. She killed her old hen and stewed a pot of soup.

Murong Zhining and Caisang changed clothes, sat in the yard to help wipe corn, and teased each other that they were little village girls.

In the evening, when the butcher finished selling meat and went home, Yin welcomed him into the door happily, muttering, "little linger and Erya are back." The butcher was also stunned for a long time before he came back. He walked into the yard with a smile, only to see two girls, with a simple smile.

The four sat around a small table, eating and chatting about what happened in the past few years. Yin looked at Murong Zhining and said, "I went out to send meat back that year, and you're gone. I thought I was playing, and I didn't care. After a while, I was told that a young woman with a face took you away. I want to go after him. The man said that he would have gone a long way in the carriage. "

Murong Zhining doesn't think it's necessary to tell her her her real experience. She is just a peasant woman and will be frightened. Murong Zhining touched Yin's hand and told a white lie: "I was taken to the city by a trafficker and sold to an official family to be a servant girl. Just then the second servant girl was there, so we knew each other. When the great official went to work elsewhere, he sent our servant girls out. " Yin nodded his head frequently: "it's good. It's good if you don't suffer. My adoptive mother will find a husband for you to live in peace. "

Caisang secretly makes a grimace to Murong Zhining, and the two girls smile at each other.

Murong Zhining asked Yin, "why don't you see my brother?" Yin smiled and said, "a Niu went to work as a soldier in the city the year before last. He brought back the letter and said he had a good job."

Yin turned his head and looked at Caisang: "your dishonorable father, who was injured in his leg by the debt collector last year, is lame and has a hard life. I often send him some food in the past. You can visit him when you have time. After all, it's your own father. " Caisang said with tears, "just listen to my aunt."

Caisang took out a ingot of gold from his arms and handed it to Yin Shi: "this is my salary and reward when Ning'er and I left the official house. I'll give it to my aunt for our food and clothing." Yin pushed back the gold ingot: "you are all my children. How much can you eat? You can keep the money for yourself and make dowry later. Settle down. "

Caisang shoved the treasure into her hand: "if aunt refuses to take it, we'll go." Yin quickly took over the gold ingot. She had never seen so much money. Yin helplessly rubbed his hands: "I'll keep it for you for the time being."

In the evening, Murong Zhining and Caisang lie on the bed and talk in the same quilt. The room is very simple, but it makes them feel warm and reassured.

Murong Zhining lies side by side with Caisang. She looks at Caisang's eyes and asks, "where did you get so much money?" Caisang gave a sly wink: "stolen." Murong Zhining reached out and scratched her nose: "you are so stupid, you will starve to death as a thief."

Caisang laughed: "in fact, it's your blessing. The emperor rewards me. Once the emperor came to me privately and asked me what you like. I said you like oranges. I didn't expect the emperor to reward me with a ingot of gold. I'm afraid you scolded me for being greedy and didn't dare to tell you. "

Murong Zhining thought of one thing. One time the flaming beacon made people send a basket of oranges. In that season, there were no oranges at all. She now guessed that it must have been Yanfeng who made people run far away and bought it from other places.

Caisang sees Murong Zhining's red eyes and asks, "do you want the emperor? If you are the emperor's concubine, the emperor will love you very much. " Murong Zhining shook her head: "I don't have that blessing, and I don't want to be constrained in the palace. By the way, your brother a Niu, it turns out to be my brother. " Caisang's face turned red, showing a coquettish look.Two young girls are running crazy on the mountain outside the village. They have been away from the general's mansion for more than ten days, which is their happiest day in recent years. They picked a flower and a wild fruit, and went to the back of the mountain noisily. The men and women who do farm work nearby stop their work and look at them enviously. Two young girls are going over the hill to visit Caisang's father in another village.
