Jiangshan is hired [rebirth]

Chapter 55

The headhunter was chattering and complaining with the shopkeeper, Yun Miaoqing was still in the room, Huo Lan couldn't have left her and escaped by himself, as expected, he was stopped when he passed by the lobby.

"Hey, what are you doing? Where did you come from?"

Huo Lan pretended to be a little afraid of ordinary people when they saw the officials, and tremblingly told the story he made up earlier.

"Husband and wife?" The head catcher took out a portrait, leaned his elbows on the counter and stared at Huo Lan for a moment, then leaned back slightly and asked shopkeeper Chen behind him, "Do you look like it?"

"It doesn't look like it!" Shopkeeper Chen kept shaking his head, "How can this be a person!"

The painters of the portraits probably have never seen Huo Lan and Yun Miaoqing in real life, they all relied on their descriptions, and after that, different apprentices and helpers hurriedly copied hundreds of copies and distributed them to other states and counties outside the capital. Even if the crowd counts, it will get a half-dozen of my charm.However, Huo Lan and Yun Miaoqing didn't have the distinctive features of scars on their faces like Wen Taicang's. When the headhunter heard that the person in front of him said that they came with her husband, he took Yun Miaoqing's picture without thinking. Huo Lan compared and did not suspect that the two might have switched identities.

"What are you looking for? Is there any bad guy hiding in the city?" Huo Lan pretended to be nervous, and intervened by asking questions at the right time, lest the head catcher look at the portraits one by one with her.

"Mind your own business, don't ask me what you have." The headhunter closed the portrait, saw the other two young men who had just entered the store, and said to Huo Lan, "Okay, you go", and then Then he shouted loudly to those two people, "Hey you two, don't go, come here!"

The two people who were called were a little confused, but as the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, even though they seemed a little reluctant, they still approached fearfully.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

The head catcher estimated that he had already questioned quite a few people this morning, and now he didn't have the patience to ask any more, so he went straight to pulling the beards of those two people without saying a word.The two were in pain, one of them had red eyes, stared at the catcher and dared not speak out.

"Tsk, it's not fake." The head catcher glanced back and forth between the two men's chests and lower bodies without giving up, the red-eyed one finally couldn't take it anymore, and asked the head catcher what he meant by covering his chest, as if being caught A boy from a good family molested by a bully.

The head catcher was already worried about catching the unrecognizable fugitive, but now he was even more tired. He raised his forehead and waved his hands to the two people: "Okay, okay, let's go too, this is all What's the matter!"

The two of them were going to stay at the store, so they would not stay again after such a commotion. Huo Lan stood in the aisle on the second floor overlooking the downstairs, and saw that the head catcher wanted to go upstairs and search the rooms one by one, but was dragged away by the shopkeeper. Arms do not let people go.

"Brother Li, I assure you that there are really no people in your portrait here! Look at you who are wearing these clothes and going to this place. People outside who want to stay in the store are too scared to come in. Turn around and put them away." The customers above me are scared away, can’t I open this shop yet? You’re so kind, my brother and I have been friends for more than ten years, can’t you trust me?”

It only said that a few fugitives had escaped from the capital, but it didn't say that people would definitely come to their Jinhu County.The head catcher wasn't very persistent at all, so the shopkeeper gave him a few words of persuasion, told him to "report to me anytime you encounter suspicious people", and then led them away.

It seems that there will be no danger for the time being. Huo Lan returned to the room and told Yun Miaoqing what happened downstairs just now. The two of them agreed that it would be better to leave here as soon as possible to be on the safe side. Tian suddenly figured out that their little trick of exchanging identities would be troublesome.

"Many officials in Fuzhou have colluded with King Zhuang. You must not go there. Your hometown is in Suzhou, and Suzhou will naturally be strictly investigated. My grandfather's family in Silkzhou is not allowed to go. The rest of the place Where do you want to go?"

Huo Lan was stunned by Yun Miaoqing's question, and fled the capital that day, Yun Miaoqing arranged everything carefully and meticulously, after leaving the capital, she kept going south, Huo Lan saw that she was so decisive and said that she had a clear goal Where will the two of them go next, and what kind of identity they will live in, they are all prepared in advance. Did they just run around aimlessly?

This is not cloudy at all!

Perhaps Huo Lan's appearance of being hit by an accident was too straightforward, Yun Miaoqing smiled half lying on the table with her head propped up: "After all, it happened suddenly, and I'm not a god, why should I be so shocked?"

This is indeed the case. If this happened to others, Huo Lan would not be surprised. He was able to orderly get the whole family out of the capital in just one night. If one of his own people dug a hole, who would not be able to praise this speed of reaction?

But that was Yun Miaoqing!It is almost a person who has nothing to forget, especially as early as half a year ago she said that she might not live in the capital for a long time in the future, that is to say, half a year ago she expected that there might be such a day, and she even just used the name of summer vacation to be fair and honest Let Shuangya and Yun Muchen go first, saying that she has no plan for where she will go after escaping from the capital, and she would not believe it if she killed Huo Lan.

"Well, I have plans." Faced with Huo Lan's suspicion, Yun Miaoqing frowned and admitted honestly.Huo Lan was about to ask her what she planned to do, but when she changed the subject, she said again, "But didn't you tell me not to worry about it a few days ago, and leave it to you from now on? So I decided to listen It's your arrangement."

It turns out that the trap is here!Huo Lan looked at Yun Miaoqing's sly eyes, his fingers were itchy, wishing he could reach out and pinch Yun Miaoqing's cheek.

This matter had to be talked about three days ago. Three days ago, the two had disagreements over whether they should leave or stay to recuperate.

"You agreed to leave it to me in the box that night!" Huo Lan said at that time. Honestly drink the medicine and rest, and don't mention the rush.

Seeing her like this, Huo Lan thought it was over, who would have thought that Yun Miaoqing would remember it secretly and cautiously until now.

After escaping from the capital, Huo Lan only thought that Yun Miaoqing was cute everywhere, cute when she was stupid, cute when she was unreasonable, cute when she was well-behaved and obedient, and cute when she held a grudge!Of course, Yun Miaoqing in the past also made her fall in love with her, but these days, perhaps because she was temporarily away from the intrigues in Beijing, Huo Lan felt that her love for Yun Miaoqing was multiplying day by day, and she couldn't cover it up. kind of.

The two of them didn't seem to be running for their lives, they seemed to be running away!

As soon as the word "elope" popped up in Huo Lan's mind, it was like an overturned sugar jar. However, Huo Lan still seriously thought about where to go.The moment she left the capital, she had already made up her mind to take good care of people with her actions, and no longer depended on Yun Miaoqing for everything. Once she said those words, she would never take them back.

Yinzhou was first excluded by Huo Lan. Yun Miaoqing died there in her previous life. Huo Lan didn't want to revisit the old place no matter what, and the rest of the place...

Huo Lan thought for a while, and suggested: "How about Minzhou? The prime minister of Minzhou has been relatively poor since ancient times. King Zhuang probably doesn't like this place if he wants to make money, and there are many mountains and forests there, although there are many bandits. , but we don’t have to be afraid of bandits now, the local officials are struggling just to suppress the bandits and make up the annual tax, and as long as we are more cautious, they won’t be able to spare time to control us.”

Her suggestion was well-founded, and Yun Miaoqing had really completely given up on her original plan and became a hands-off shopkeeper.

"Then Minzhou."

The two of them made a decision, and in the afternoon Huo Lan went to the clinic to grab some more medicine—"I caught more" but Huo Lan thought that if it wasn't for worrying that the noise would draw people's attention, she would have almost taken the medicine away. The pharmacy was sold out, and when she returned to the inn, she was laughed at by Yun Miaoqing for a long time, asking her if she planned to change her profession to become a traveling doctor in the future.

Hmph, let you laugh at me now, and you will cry when you get sick again!While complaining, Huo Lan packed everything, went downstairs with Yun Miaoqing to pay for the hotel the next morning, and left the city through the north city gate where they came in that day.

When they came, they took someone else's ox cart, and when they left, they couldn't hire a horse cart, and it was even more shameful to buy a horse cart. The two of them were carrying big bags and small bags, and at the gate of the city, they met the fish gifted by the old lady that day. Bad guard.

Compared with when they entered the city, the interrogation at the gate of the city today was much stricter, and there was a long queue when entering and leaving the city.

"A few days ago, my aunt and uncle helped to pick us up and saved my husband's life. I was in a hurry to leave last time and didn't thank them well. The next time I see them, my brother will definitely pass on this thought to them for me. "Huo Lan chose this place to go out of the city because of this official who had met her once. Hearing her mention this, the official remembered it, and when he looked at her again, his eyes were not so guarded.

After taking the purse from Huo Lan, the official looked at the big bundles in their hands.

"What do you all get?"

Huo Lan untied the bag, revealed the medicinal ingredients inside, and said shyly, "My husband's illness really frightened me. I was afraid that he would get sick again on the way, so I asked the doctor for some commonly used prescriptions, and took the medicine. Be prepared."

"He is bitten by a snake for ten years and is afraid of well ropes. This is your husband who gets sick once, so you have to buy the whole pharmacy!" The official made fun of Huo Lan, and let Huo Lan and them go without further inspection. Going out of the city, although the little lady reacted more to her husband's illness, but the fugitive should not run for his life first, how could he have the heart to buy such old things, thinking that running is not strenuous enough?

"It's not just me, others think you're too exaggerated." Far away from the city gate, Yun Miaoqing laughed at Huo Lan.

"If it weren't for these medicines, we might not have been able to come out so smoothly!" Huo Lan didn't care, and even nagged Yun Miaoqing in turn, "I tell you, you haven't recovered from your illness, don't think we left early You don't need to take medicine, I even carry the medicine jar, and you will drink the medicine at noon later."

Yun Miaoqing couldn't laugh anymore, even though she could be considered a doctor herself, the doctor also thought the medicine was bitter!

Yun Miaoqing had exhausted all her means in the morning, and it was useless to act coquettish and cute. Huo Lan's heart was like a stone, and at noon she would find a place to light a fire and cook medicine, and stared at Yun Miaoqing after drinking it before going back on the road.Not only this meal, but also the next few days, until Yun Miaoqing swears that she is already well and does not need to take medicine at all.

The two took a deserted mountain road and tried not to go into the city. Occasionally, they would go there to buy some supplies at the fairs in nearby towns, and then they left after shopping, so they finally arrived in Minzhou a month later.

Yun Miaoqing changed back into women's clothing on the road, and it was the first time in Huo Lan's life that both of them dressed as women and walked outside, he sighed in his heart, but the sigh was replaced by a headache before it was too long——Yun Miaoqing seems to have discovered the fun after being a shopkeeper for a while, not only found the fun, but even had the intention of enjoying it.

In the past, after her father left, she was carrying the burden of the family, and she was somewhat worried. Now that she has thrown all her worries on Huo Lan, Yun Miaoqing has relaxed, and even her mentality has returned to when she was carefree at the age of fifteen or sixteen. .

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, Yun Miaoqing and Huo Lan never had the chance to see each other in her two lifetimes. She felt regretful before, but now that she has seen it, she deeply feels that it is better not to see her...

Back in the small building, Huo Lan didn't feel anything when she heard Yun Miaoqing say that she was mischievous when she went to the room to expose tiles, but now——

"I want to eat oranges!" Yun Miaoqing said to Huo Lan, looking at an orchard under the mountainside.

"It's getting dark now, let's go to the town and ask someone to buy it when it's daytime tomorrow."

"I've been thinking about it for a day, and now I want to eat it."

After thinking about it for a day, why don't you say it during the day!Huo Lan saw Yun Miaoqing's rolling eyes and knew that this little ancestor had come up with a new trick.

Sure enough, Yun Miaoqing said: "Let's go down and pick a few, leaving the money under the tree, it's not considered stealing."

"See the fence in front of the forest? They erect such a tall fence to prevent thieves!"

Huo Lan tried to dispel Yun Miaoqing's unreliable thoughts, but if Yun Miaoqing was obedient, she wouldn't be the Yun Miaoqing who gave her constant headaches these days.

"But I want to eat it! If I can't eat it, I can't walk anymore. Oh, I can't even stand up. I'm going to faint."

Yun Miaoqing fainted as soon as she said she was dizzy, and the play was quite good, Huo Lan was not willing to let her fall, so she hurried to support her, hardened her heart every day to force Yun Miaoqing to drink medicine, it took all her willpower, except for things like taking medicine This kind of thing that must not be compromised, Yun Miaoqing's rest of the request, how could she be so ruthless that she could refuse it.

"All right, all right, go pick oranges for you."

As soon as she heard that she was going to pick oranges, Yun Miaoqing stopped feeling dizzy in an instant, wishing she could walk with the wind.Huo Lan put away her medicinal materials, and the two came to the orchard in the dark, lifted one by one, and climbed over the fence to get in.

Ordinary people do this kind of petty theft for fear of being discovered, so they run away after picking it up, but Yun Miaoqing seems to be afraid that no one will find her, she looks at this and that, and then says that this must not be sweet, and that one is too ugly , dragged Huo Lan through the forest for a long time before choosing two that satisfied her.

"Not this one, the one on the left, the one on the top! Hey, that's right, that's it, and the one on the back!"

Huo Lan was directed by Yun Miaoqing to pick oranges, and just as he picked them, he heard a rattling sound, and a dog appeared outside the fence with its tongue out, watching the two fruit thieves inside.

Huo Lan: "..."

She rubbed the orange in her hand, wondering if she could knock the dog unconscious by throwing it, but Yun Miaoqing pushed and shoved it away before it hit it: "It's fine if we steal other people's fruit, how can it be?" Beating someone's dog."

But if you don't hit it, it will bark!The next moment the dog barked, and immediately after that, people from the nearby villages walked out cursing.

"Oh, I've been discovered, run!" Yun Miaoqing threw down the money and dragged Huo Lan and ran up the mountain. The two climbed over the fence, and when they looked back, several people chased them out with torches.

"Don't look, run!" Yun Miaoqing pushed Huo Lan, and the two ran wildly. On the way, Yun Miaoqing accidentally stepped on a stone and slipped. If Huo Lan hadn't caught her in time, she would have fallen A somersault.

"Are you okay?" Huo Lan asked anxiously.

"It's okay, I sprained my foot." Unlike Huo Lan, who has practiced martial arts for a long time, Yun Miaoqing was so out of breath after running for a while that she could hardly speak clearly.

"Come up, I'll carry you." Huo Lan stuffed the orange into Yun Miaoqing's hands, and continued running without saying a word.The fruit growers who were chasing after them didn't know whether they had discovered the money under the tree, or they thought it was not worth chasing after such two fruits. In short, Huo Lan ran for a while with Yun Miaoqing on his back, and those people went back.

Huo Lan found a rock to put him down, she almost made Yun Miaoqing pissed off at the thought of Yun Miaoqing hurting her ankle, what was even more irritating was that this person was still in the mood to smile.

"Let you play around nonsense, let's play it off now! Sit still and don't move, I'll see if it's swollen."

Huo Lan half-knelt down to remove the shoe and sock on Yun Miaoqing's left foot. Yun Miaoqing didn't care about her foot injury, she lowered her head and peeled an orange, handed a piece to Huo Lan's mouth and said with a smile: "Do you believe me?" Me, this is really sweet."

Huo Lan made Yun Miaoqing laugh out of temper, that's all, isn't it because he likes to be crazy, he just wants to accompany the crazy, as long as Yun Miaoqing is healthy and happy in heart.

She lowered her eyes and followed Yun Miaoqing's hand, and took the piece of orange into her mouth. Wisps of sweetness filled the plump and moist flesh, sweeter than all the oranges Huo Lan had eaten before.

"How is it, is it delicious?" Yun Miaoqing's voice above her head was full of expectation.

Huo Lan raised her head to look at Yun Miaoqing, under the moonlight, Yun Miaoqing's skin was whiter than snow, her hair was like black ink, and there were stars twinkling in her clear blue eyes, she really could be called bright eyes and bright teeth, charming and natural.Huo Lan was fascinated by watching it for a while, and suddenly he had a thought, and asked: "You said before that if someone looks at you, you have to marry him, does this still count?"

The author has something to say: I finally wrote this story of running away and reading as elopement. I wrote it very slowly today. I really couldn’t write [-] words. I will try my best to QAQ next week.
