Luo Heyao took Ayun for a short walk in the woods. After making sure it was far enough away from the village, she put Ayun down and slumped on the ground with relief.
She needed Ayun to accompany her for the rest of the journey. At least before dark, she needed Ayun to wake up and find a place for them to live.
She got some water out of the pot, and poured the water on A-Yun's face just like the stories in the book, but it didn't seem to work. A-Yun still frowned slightly and closed his eyes tightly, not wanting to do anything. It means to wake up.
Luohehe sighed, put the bottle to her mouth and took a few sips. She looked up at the gloomy sky and felt a little disappointed.
Somehow, this feeling of loneliness came in a hurry. Maybe it was because she had not done anything today and it was about to pass. Maybe it was because she had to face a lot of difficulties and dangers again. be prepared.
She emptied her mind and leaned against the tree trunk to rest for a while.
It was not too hot under the shade of the tree, and it was warm. In addition, she had been tired all day long, and her physical strength had long been worn away, so sleepiness suddenly came over her. Luo Heya knew that she could never fall asleep at this moment, so she He stood up and paced back and forth boredly, not knowing how long he would have to wait until Ayun woke up.
About an hour later, when Luo Heyao was squatting on the ground in a daze, Ayun next to him made some movement.
She turned her head and looked over, gently pushing his shoulder. Seeing Ayun Zhen's reaction, Luo Henuo hurriedly crawled over and squatted next to him.
Ayun woke up. He frowned and didn't move his body. He narrowed his eyes to observe his surroundings.
Luo Heya felt a little strange about this. When he woke up, he didn't move his arms and legs subconsciously, as if he knew he was tied up.
Neither of them spoke for the first time. Ayun looked around, and Luoheya looked at Ayun. Finally, after a short silence, their eyes met in the air. The resentment in Ayun's eyes was easy to see. aware.
In fact, Luohehe didn't even have to think about it. Even if she didn't notice it, she knew that Ayun must be feeling uncomfortable at this time. Who would want to be kidnapped for no reason while sleeping? Therefore, she had already prepared words to deal with this embarrassing situation.
Luohehe opened her mouth and was about to say something, but Ayun preempted her.
He lowered his eyes, looked at Luo Yuyao indifferently, and asked, "What is this girl doing?"
Fortunately, Ayun's attitude was not too tough. Although his tone was not very friendly, he still gave himself a chance to explain.
Luo Yao was about to explain to him the purpose of doing this, but she found Ayun secretly peeking at the corner of her sleeve. Luo Yao understood and immediately took out his pair of darts and a dagger.
"Young hero, are you looking for this?"
Ayun followed the voice and looked over, feeling even more unhappy.
This time Luo Youyao didn't give him a chance to speak, and said hurriedly: "This little woman will be returned to you later, but not now. The little woman is thinking about her own safety. What do you think is wrong, young hero?"
Ayun didn't say anything, but he really didn't make any unnecessary moves.
Seeing that he had stopped talking, Luo Heya immediately took advantage of the opportunity and said: "The little girl understands that the reason why the young hero is willing to take this job is naturally because he hopes to get corresponding rewards. And what the little girl did today is indeed rude, and it is indeed It broke the original rules, but..."
Luohehe paused, then opened the package behind her and brought it to Ayun to show him.
"If these chips are added, can the young hero listen to my detailed explanation before making a conclusion?"
Ayun looked at the things she brought, and his pupils trembled suddenly.
The package was filled with gold, silver and jade jewelry. All the jewelry that Luo Huahua wore when she got married was packed in by her.
He raised his head and looked at Luo Youyao, with a trace of disbelief in his eyes.
Luo Heyao nodded and confirmed his question: "As long as the young hero can help the little girl, it is natural for the little girl to do this for the young hero."
Ayun looked at the contents of the package and thought for a moment, and the resentment in his eyes was obviously much less.
Luohehe finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. Although she was resolute, she still felt uncertain.
She was afraid that Ayun was not willing to help her for money, but it was funny to think about it. Why not for money? They escorts take these jobs just to make money.
Ayun nodded and agreed to Luo Yuan, and today's matter can be considered as a thing of the past.
Luo Henuo took off the iron chains from his body and cut the hemp ropes on his legs.
But for the thing on the arm, Luo Yaoyao thought about it and decided to observe it first.
Ayun was very cooperative and had no objection to this.
The two continued walking south. Before dark, Ayun found a dilapidated hut and asked Luo Huahua if he was willing to stay here for one night.
Of course Luoyao was willing, after all, she couldn't think of anywhere else to go.
Just as Luohehe was about to go in and rest, she was suddenly ordered by Ayun to pick up some firewood nearby. She was reluctant at first. After all, this was the first time in her life that she had been ordered to do something. But when Ayun showed her her tied hands, she had no choice.
In order to save her own life, she had to do this.
After collecting firewood, Ayun seemed to want Luoyao to hunt some wild rabbits. Luoheya knew that Ayun was trying to solve the problem of dinner, but she was not proficient in martial arts, and she didn't even have a bow in her hand. If she wanted to hit the rabbit's head with Ayun's darts, That's simply unbelievable.
She quickly rejected Ayun and told him that she had brought enough food before leaving.
Ayun nodded and asked her to go to the stream to get some water.
Luohehe shook her empty kettle with only a few drops of water left, sighed, and had to go reluctantly.
She walked in front, and Ayun followed behind. They had seen the nearest creek on the way here. It was not far away, but they needed to climb a hill on the way back.
Luo Heya was very tired today, so she naturally hoped that she could stay still. But compared to this, she still felt that her life was more important, and she couldn't let Ayun loose just like that.
The two of them fetched water by the stream and returned to the broken thatched hut. After closing the broken door that was almost falling, Ayun finally stopped giving orders.
Luo Heyao collapsed on the dirt ground exhausted.
Ayun looked around, looked at the dry firewood placed on the stone, pointed his finger and turned back to ask Luo Huayu: "To order or not to order?"
Luohehe looked at the direction of his finger and was suddenly confused.
"You asked me to pick it up, why didn't you order it?"
Ayun had no mood swings and replied calmly: "If we click, it will most likely attract the attention of others, but at the same time, we can also prevent the beast from attacking. If we don't click, there is a high probability that no one will find us here, but If a wild beast comes while you are sleeping at night, then..."
Luoyao thought for a moment and glanced at Ayun's tied hands.
Could he be forcing her to untie him?
If Ayun was loosened, he should be able to deal with it whether it was a gangster or a wild beast, but he was tied up now and could not react immediately when he encountered danger.
Luohehe sighed and said bluntly: "You are implying that you want me to untie you, including letting me hunt and collect firewood before, right?"
After hearing this, Ayun shook his head and said in a calm tone: "That's not the case. These things are indeed things we need to consider. It's just that if the girl didn't tie me up, I would most likely do it directly, and I'm not asking you."
Luo Heyao looked at his righteous speech and was speechless.
She thought about it, now that she has reached this point, she is involved in danger every step of the way. She cannot reduce the risk of being killed, so she has to find the best outcome among many possibilities.
Now, Ayun is tied up. If they encounter danger at night, she will definitely not be able to deal with it; but if Ayun is untied, this danger will be reduced or even eliminated. Thinking about it this way, she can only bet that Ayun will not suddenly Get angry.
Luohehe sighed silently and came to Ayun nervously.
She didn't dare to look up at him, nor did she dare to stop her movements, for fear that she would regret it.
She raised her hand and handed the dagger directly to Ayun's hand.
The way Ayun looked at her, of course he knew what she was thinking.
He cut the rope without hesitation, then turned and walked towards the pile of firewood.
Luohehe looked at Ayun's back, finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed completely.
Soon, night fell, and Ayun and Luoyao sat side by side in front of the firewood pile to share food.
Ayun spoke very little, and even after he was untied, he never said a word.
If it had been before, Luo Yanyao might have been like him and said nothing.
But now, after experiencing all this, she just hoped to have someone to rely on before the next change. No matter what happened, she would not be allowed to face it alone, so she took the initiative to talk to Ayun.
Luo Heya's voice was very pleasant, soft and clear, and seemed a little gentle in front of the bonfire at night.
She swallowed the food in her hand, stared at the bonfire and spoke to Ayun: "I heard your name from Shen Yi. This is his nickname for you, right? What is your real name?"
Ayun was stunned for a moment and replied: "Yunsheng."
Yunsheng? What a nice name.
Luo Heyao thought this, and then said: "You and Shen Yi didn't know each other before?"
"Yes, he is my friend." Ayun replied briefly.
Luo Heya thought for a moment and seemed to still have questions, but she stopped asking and changed the topic: "There seem to be many such broken houses in the Jiangnan area. What were they used for before? Why did it become like this? "
Ayun glanced at her calmly and explained: "It's not just Jiangnan, it's found in many places. Haven't you seen it before?"
When Luo Heyao said this, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have let something slip. But to her surprise, she didn't seem to feel nervous about it.
"never seen it."
"The reason... is because of the war, because of the drought, or in this case close to the river, because of the flood."
Ayun paused and added: "This kind of house must have been someone's home."
Home.
Luo Heya rarely heard this word. After all, no one had ever told her that the Prime Minister's Mansion should be a home, and she had never thought that the Prime Minister's Mansion could be regarded as a home.
Although speaking, the Prime Minister's Mansion seems to fit the definition of home, but after thinking about it carefully, Luo Heyao still didn't agree with it in her heart.
"Then, do you often stay in a place like this when you are an escort?"
Yun Sheng was stunned again after hearing her words, and then smiled and said: "Normally, you don't have to hide from people when you are a escort, so of course you stay in an inn."
Listening to his reply, Luo Youyao couldn't help but feel funny about her stupidity, but Ayun didn't say much. At least in this aspect, he was much better than the talkative Luo Yunting.
The two were quiet for a while, and Luo Heya sighed softly, as if she was venting some emotions.
Of course Yun Sheng noticed it, but he didn't ask anything. He just waited silently for Luo Huahua to share it with him.
Sure enough, she waited for a while and then spoke again, her tone dull and clearly exuding displeasure: "When will this kind of life end?"
Luo Heyao thought to herself that just the day before yesterday, she still felt that the life outside was free and easy, and it didn't matter even if it was harder and more tiring, but she didn't expect that after just two nights, her thoughts immediately changed. .
Yun Sheng heard her complaint and turned to ask her: "You don't look like a Jianghu person, why did you sneak away to Nanling?"
Luo Heyao shook her head and was a little surprised. She turned to look at him and asked tentatively: "Have you ever met anyone wanted by the government before?"
Yun Sheng smiled and affirmed: "Of course I have encountered it. Only those of you who are trapped in the house all day will think that being wanted is a big deal. Like those of us who are wandering in the world, how many of us have not cooperated with you? The government has done the right thing."
Luohehe was even more surprised when she heard this.
"The people from the yamen don't care?"
Ayun shook his head.
"You have to take care of his one-third of an acre of land. They can't control the affairs of the world."
Ayun's words were very understated, and for a moment Luo Tiaoyao had the illusion that she was safe.
Thinking about it, the Yamen has no control over the affairs of the Jianghu, so why not her affairs? After all, the court is in charge, so the Yamen naturally can't.
She twitched the corner of her mouth in a self-deprecating tone, sadness welling up in her heart, but she suppressed it forcefully.
She thought for a moment and said quietly: "Ayun."
Her tone was very gentle. Yun Sheng was obviously stunned when he heard her call, but he still responded.
"how?"
"..."
"When can we get to Nanling?"
Yun Sheng listened to her words and didn't answer for a long time. He seemed to have thought carefully before saying, "If you're lucky, tomorrow."
