Chapter 235: Still Have to Go Through the Dog Hole
Li Lanzhen looked at the person lying in the space and scratched the back of her head.
A lot of things happened in Youzhou City tonight, whether it was the burning of the Jia Mansion or the capture of King Jin's spies, they were all big events!
It would be better for me to leave Youzhou City as soon as possible.
Li Lanzhen found that she was not compatible with Youzhou City.
Every time I come here, I always encounter something or other, and every one of them is life-threatening.
You still have to dig a dog hole!
Thinking of this, Li Lanzhen cautiously left the space and found that there was no one here.
He immediately took a detour and ran towards Xicheng District.
She didn't rush to the familiar dog hole.
And he chose to stop when he was more than a hundred meters away from there, lying in the grass and observing.
I heard from the soldiers near the east city wall that there were also soldiers lying in ambush here to capture King Jin's spies.
I don't want to be caught twice in one night.
After a cup of tea, Li Lanzhen did not find anyone near the dog cave. It was estimated that they were called back after the news that King Jin's spy was captured in Dongcheng came.
After waiting for a while, she stood up and prepared to go over.
"Da da da"
There was a sound of hurried running.
Li Lanzhen quickly hid in the bushes again.
In the moonlight, she saw that the first person to rush to the dog hole was a little girl who was about five years old.
He was carrying a bag on his back and holding a bag in his hands. Then, a little kid, not sure if it was a boy or a girl, stumbled after him.
They were also carrying bags on their backs. The bags on the backs of both of them were a bit heavy. It felt like there was another person weighing them down, and they couldn't run.
Li Lanzhen was wondering why there were only two children and no adults when she heard heavy footsteps from behind.
Looking again, I saw a man-like figure, holding a person wrapped in a quilt in his arms, rushing towards this side quickly.
Seeing the man also arrived in front of the dog hole, the girl squatted in front of the dog hole and skillfully pulled open the thatch blocking the dog hole.
Li Lanzhen heard the little girl whispering to the man.
"Dad, I'll go over there and take a look. If it's safe, you can come out later."
After saying that, she put down the bag on her back and quickly got through.
After a while, I heard her whisper again.
"Dad, come out quickly. Hand over the bag first."
The man quickly handed all the bags out through the dog hole.
Then the little bean crawled through the dog hole.
The man gently put the person in his arms on the ground, and the quilt wrapped around her fell away. Only then did Li Lanzhen see clearly that the person in the man's arms was a woman.
In the moonlight, her face was very pale and her eyes were closed, probably she was unconscious.
The man pushed the woman out little by little, and then he went in too.
Li Lanzhen hurriedly followed. She squatted in front of the dog hole and listened outside the hole.
All I could hear was a few thumping footsteps going away.
She quickly crawled through a hole, reached in, grabbed the bunch of straw and stuffed it out of the dog hole.
Then he stood up and followed the four people from a distance.
Perhaps it was the two children, or perhaps it was the unconscious woman that touched Li Lanzhen's kind heart.
I just followed them, watching the two little kids, taking one deep step and one shallow step, falling down and then getting up again, without saying a word.
The man was holding the woman, with a large bag on his back, and he followed the two children without saying a word, walking and walking without stopping...
Li Lanzhen didn't know what had happened to their family.
It must not be a good thing. Either he was being chased by someone, or something happened at home, so he had to leave home and run around in the dark.
I ran two miles behind them.
Now they are halfway up the mountain, and Li Lanzhen really admires the two children.
It is already winter in Youzhou City, although there is no snow on the ground.
However, the dry bushes were still dense and the two children were small and thin.
Many times, bushes blocked their way and they couldn't get through no matter how hard they tried.
The two men lay on the ground, or squatted, and used their hands to forcefully tear a hole open.
They crawled through, and then used their hands to pry open a gap so that their father could pass through, and watched their wife carry their mother in.
In this way, the family of four worked together and finally reached the halfway point of the mountain.
"Dad, let's take a rest. We are so tired. My brother can't run anymore."
Only then did Li Lanzhen realize that the little kid was a boy.
"Okay, our Tingyu is such a good boy! Help daddy take care of his brother."
The man breathlessly praised the girl.
"Listen to the rain."
What a nice name! Li Lanzhen admired it in her heart.
The man spoke again. "Xiuzhu is also a good child of Daddy. He helps Daddy carry his burdens and persists even when he is tired."
Both children said, "Daddy is the best, and mommy is the best too!"
The man put down the woman wrapped in a quilt in his arms and tucked the corner of the quilt for her.
He turned around and took out a water bag and some snacks wrapped in a handkerchief from the bag on his back.
"Let's take a break here, have some snacks and drink some water before we continue up the mountain."
Li Lanzhen hid behind the bushes not far away, silently watching the family of four.
At this time, the little girl took the snack from the man and started talking.
"Daddy, my step-grandmother is really a piece of shit, she is just an evil woman!
She knew clearly that my mother was pregnant with my little brother, but she still pushed my mother to the ground, and my mother bled so much!
Grandpa is also bad! He even cursed my mother. "
Li Lanzhen heard another small voice, probably the little boy, asking softly while sobbing.
"Dad, will Mom die?
Xiuzhu doesn't want his mother to die. Xiuzhu will be obedient and won't make his mother angry. Please don't let his mother die, okay?
Xiuzhu doesn't want a stepmother, she's too bad! "
The man sighed and comforted the siblings.
"Don't worry, your mother won't die, our family of four will live well!
Daddy loves you two and will always love you."
The little girl was comforted by the man, and her mood improved a little and her tone softened.
"Dad, where are we going to escape to?"
The man clearly had no idea where he was going, and his voice sounded nervous.
"Let's go up the mountain first. There will always be a way to survive."
Li Lanzhen heard the little girl say in an affirmative tone.
"Yes, as long as we leave grandma, our family of four will have enough food to eat and live well!"
After a pause, the little girl's mood became depressed again.
"Dad, does this mean you can't study anymore? Dad, you've already passed the exam to become a scholar. It would be a shame if you don't study and take the exam to become a juren!"
Then, he became emotional again, "Humph! It's all that stepmother's fault, that evil woman!"
"Tingyu, you can't talk about people like that."
"She's just an evil bitch. My neighbors, Grandma Zhang and Aunt Zhao, call her an evil bitch behind her back."
"Our Tingyu is a good child, a delicate girl, you can't speak so vulgarly."
The little girl snorted twice and stopped talking.
After listening to their conversation, Li Lanzhen felt that this man was a little pedantic and was actually a scholar.
Li Lanzhen liked the little girl very much in her heart. She was a little girl who dared to love and hate, was articulate and had a clear mind.
She decided to follow them for a while. If she didn't find any habits or other ideas that she couldn't accept, she would take them back to the Peach Blossom Land.
It just so happened that there were too many children in Taohuayuan School, and Master Xu was the only one there. He was a little busy and a little tired.
They stood up and climbed up the mountain again, and the pace of the three people in the family of four slowed down a lot.
Maybe it's because I feel the crisis has been resolved, or maybe it's because I'm too tired.
Li Lanzhen also followed slowly behind him, and she was also paying attention to the direction of Youzhou City to see if that evil woman had sent anyone to chase them.
If that's the case, she wouldn't mind helping this family of four to get their revenge!
