Chapter 284: Entering the City
Chapter 284: Entering the City
In the dead of night, the two men drank a lot of water and didn't feel full at all. Instead, they had to hold back their urine.
In the cubicle, Qingyin listened to the two people running back and forth to the toilet in the east room and a fox-like smile appeared on her face.
In the evening, Qingyin was not sleepy and was eavesdropping on the noise coming from the east room with a smile on her face.
It was not until late at night that the movement in the east room stopped and Qingyin heard the voices of Lin's father and He's mother.
Mother He: "Master, why do I feel like there's something wrong with this second girl? She fried all the bacon in the house today and didn't leave any for us. Do you think this second girl has some plan in mind and did it on purpose?"
He's mother's suspicious voice entered Qingyin's ears, and in the darkness, Qingyin smiled sarcastically.
Idiot, big idiot, she didn't mean it, she did it on purpose.
After a long while, Qingyin finally heard the voice of her father, who was always silent and honest at home: "No matter what, we will stop caring about it after the Hu family drags the second girl away tomorrow morning."
"Remember, don't let the second girl know about this. Gag her and lock her up in the room tomorrow morning."
"Ah, the boss is still smart."
……
Just a few short sentences revealed the sinister calculations of Lin's father. Qingyin's eyes were obscure. He's mother had never been the one who planned and strategized. And with such a cruel mastermind, how could Taohua Village believe that the most honest man in the village with a shrewish daughter-in-law would be the mastermind who proposed to sell the eldest daughter to a brothel and then sell the second daughter?
Qingyin closed her eyes and half-slept. In the second half of the night, she opened her eyes, packed a short package, two sets of worn-out clothes and the copper coins she had hidden, and walked towards the cave in the back mountain.
It was a moonlit night tonight, and the moonlight was inexplicably bright, giving the frail girl a ray of hope so that she would not be completely blind.
In the dark night, Duan Heng was awakened by the occasional noise outside.
Just as he had picked up the dagger hidden behind his back and was carefully staring at the movements in the bushes outside, a familiar, black head appeared. The moonlight shining through the cave entrance was enough for Duan Heng to recognize the person.
Duan Heng: "..."
Qingyin grinned and smiled: "Good morning!"
After a while, the girl stood in the moonlight, holding the package. Her big, clear almond-shaped eyes seemed to be shining. "Duan Heng, my parents want to sell me to a man who has beaten several wives to death. Please take me away!"
……
At the foot of the mountain, Duan Heng didn't know what was wrong with him, he changed his mind, and left Eming Mountain in the middle of the night with a little village girl.
Maybe it was because the moonlight was too bright, my brain was not working well, or time was tight... In any case, it was not because of some little country girl with pretty eyes.
In the early morning, the sky was already dim, and the brilliant morning light disdainfully shone its light generously on the land.
Qingyin has gained some weight in the past two days and is no longer as terribly thin as the day she first arrived.
The country girl who has lived in the mountains all her life is curious about everything in the outside world.
The thin, dark-skinned girl ran happily in front, turning her head back from time to time and smiling smartly: "Duan Heng, why are you so slow, like a big snail."
The fair and handsome man didn't seem to want to pay attention to the dark and thin girl. He just walked on his own. Now Duan Heng had figured out the girl's habits.
No matter what he does, the girl will always have ten thousand reasons to criticize him. But if he does nothing, the girl will lose interest in talking about him anymore.
However, according to his experience, no matter how energetic the little country girl who grew up in the mountains was, she could not match him, a man who knew martial arts.
After a while, Duan Heng saw that the lively girl, who was curious about everything before, became listless, walked slower and slower, and soon fell beside him.
The young girl complained, "How long will it take for Duan Heng to get to town?"
"Two hours."
"so far?"
"Ah."
"I'm so tired, Duan Heng. I don't want to leave anymore."
Duan Heng stopped and looked helplessly at the girl who had fallen ten meters behind him without him noticing.
He always felt helpless about this ignorant, greedy, shameless little village girl who had another shortcoming - laziness. Sometimes Duan Heng even wondered if he owed this little village girl in his previous life, so he had to repay her debt in this life.
He sighed, stepped back and squatted beside the slow-moving girl, "Come up, Lin Erhua, how could there be a woman as lazy as you in this world?"
Qingyin snorted and continued walking slowly.
Duan Heng stood in front of her, followed her and took a step forward, saying with a smile: "Okay, if you are not lazy, then I will be lazy! Do you want me to carry you? It's still two hours from here to the town."
Qing Yin glared at him and said viciously: "Why don't you squat down! You have no manners!"
Duan Heng: "..."
"Okay, okay, Miss Lin, get on my back." The man obediently squatted down with his back to the people.
A warm body pressed against her, and the man subconsciously turned his head away out of unfamiliarity. Qingyin was so scared that she thought the man was going to drop her, so she hugged the man's neck tightly with both hands.
A faint unknown fragrance slowly drifted into the man's nose. It smelled so good that the man couldn't help but sniff it.
At such a close distance, it is very obvious where the fragrance comes from.
The man's ears turned red, "Lin Erhua, if you use more force, you'll strangle my neck to death!"
Qing Yin curled her lips. Feeling guilty, she subconsciously relaxed her strength and muttered softly, "How can I have that much strength? How can a grown man like you be strangled to death by a weak woman like me?"
Duan Heng had sharp ears and could faintly hear a few words from the man: "Are you scolding me? Lin Erhua, you are on my back now, don't think I can't hear what you say."
Qingyin covered her mouth guiltily, not daring to curse him secretly anymore.
Feeling the honesty of the person on his back, the man with his back to the girl curled his lips slightly.
After more than an hour, Qingyin felt the man's clothes were damp with sweat. She didn't expect Duan Heng to carry her on his back for so long. She fanned Duan Heng with her hands. "Duan Heng, if you can't do it, we'll be there soon. Why don't you put me down and walk by yourself for a while?"
Duan Heng's face darkened: "I know martial arts, so I am more than capable of carrying a weak woman like you."
Qingyin secretly complained in her heart that Duan Heng was too concerned about his reputation. Perhaps it was because Qingyin appeared to be too quiet that Duan Heng began to doubt that the girl did not believe what he said.
The man silently quickened his pace.
The half-hour journey was shortened to ten minutes, and the man had indeed tried his best.
After carrying the person on his back with all his strength until he reached the vicinity of the town, Duan Heng stopped and put the girl down.
"Wait a minute, go in first and wait for me at the door. I'll be in right away."
"it is good."
