The saint didn't say anything. She pointed outside and then at herself, gesturing for them to follow her.
The other party came alone late at night, so she probably wasn't making fun of the two of them. Xu He knew that this was not the place to talk, so he and Lu Heng followed her out.
As soon as they arrived at the courtyard gate, the saint signaled the two of them not to move. She walked to the door and looked outside. Then she led them back to the courtyard and said, "There is someone in the front yard. Let's go across the courtyard from the east!"
They find a moon gate in the dark and go east through that gate.
As soon as I arrived at the courtyard to the east, I heard the faint sounds of men and women having fun coming from the house.
The three of them didn't dare to stay, and quickly walked through the courtyard to a side door at the base of the east wall.
But the side door was locked. The saint conjured a bunch of keys from somewhere, poked at them for a while, and finally opened the door.
"Go quickly!" the saint said to the two of them.
Lu Heng was still a little confused. Hearing this, he whispered: "What about you? Aren't you going to leave?"
Xu He pulled off her clothes and said to the saint, "How do we leave?"
The saint's eyes showed admiration, and she whispered: "When you leave the door, go east first, and then go south after walking out of the village. At this time, be sure to avoid people you meet, and don't stop until Hailing County. !”
Xu He felt awe-inspiring, nodded towards the saint, pulled Lu Heng and walked out.
When the saint saw them leaving, she closed the door.
Not long after Xu He and Lu Heng had walked, they felt like they had stepped into a muddy pond. It turned out that after the flood receded, the dirt road was muddy, and they did not dare to walk on the main road. They found some small roads and fields to cross, so they walked very slowly. .
In addition, the two of them hadn't eaten much in the past few days, nor had they taken a good rest. Not long after walking, Lu Heng couldn't bear it anymore. No matter how dirty the ground was, he sat down in the mud and panted heavily.
Xu He had no choice but to sit down and take the opportunity to take a rest.
Lu Heng looked at Xu He beside him and asked in a low voice: "Xu He, why did the saint let us go?"
Xu He shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
"Then you didn't ask just now?" Lu Heng asked curiously.
Xu He said: "If she wants to say something, she will tell us naturally. If she doesn't tell us, she will find you or me sooner or later. Won't she know then?"
"Ah~~~" Lu Heng was startled, "She wants to come to us again?"
"What else?" Xu He said angrily, "They let us go out of nowhere. They must be asking for something!"
Lu Heng seemed to not want to be associated with such an evil organization, and became worried after hearing this.
Xu He comforted her and said: "Don't worry, she is most likely here for me. You are a foreigner, and she cannot possibly know you. If she wants to find you, she is looking for me!"
Lu Heng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but suddenly became nervous again, "She won't trouble you, right?"
Xu He shook his head: "I don't know, just deal with it carefully!"
Speaking of this, Xu He was afraid that someone was chasing him, so he stood up and said, "Let's leave quickly!"
Lu Heng nodded silently in the darkness, stood up and followed Xu He towards the east.
The two of them just groped all the way, walking very slowly, and it took them half an hour to get out of the village.
Just after leaving the village, Xu He was too afraid to listen to the saint's words, so he walked east for a while, then turned back and walked north.
There is the lower countryside of Hailing County, and most of the good fields in Hailing County are here.
Xu He and Lu Heng did not dare to walk through the villages and alleys, and chose secluded roads that avoided the villages.
Almost all the roads in Jiangnan Water Town lean on the river.
The two of them walked for about an hour, and Lu Heng suddenly stumbled. It turned out that it was dark and slippery. She slipped and fell on the river embankment without paying attention. If it weren't for the weeds and shrubs, she almost lost her footing. Fell into the river.
Xu He quickly went to pull her ashore, but as soon as he exerted force, Lu Heng cried out: "It hurts!"
"What's wrong? Where does it hurt?" Xu He asked nervously.
"ankle!"
Xu He helped her up first, and then asked her to try to take two steps.
As soon as Lu Heng's injured right foot touched the ground, he let out a suppressed cry of pain.
Xu He was anxious.
There is a village not far away from them.
But after going through so much just now, he couldn't trust anyone and could only find a way on his own.
He thought for a while and could only squat down and said: "I'll carry you!"
Lu Heng's face turned red and he shook his head repeatedly: "No, no need!"
Xu He said: "Hurry up, what if you are discovered and caught up? Do you want to be the wife of a fool in the He family?"
Lu Heng was furious when he heard this: "I don't want it."
Xu He said: "Then why don't you come up!"
Lu Heng had no choice but to lie on Xu He's back. Xu He took her knees with both hands and stood up and complained: "Are you too heavy?"
There is a truth from ancient times, never question a woman’s weight.
Now that it was over, Lu Heng suddenly grabbed Xu He's ears like a tigress: "Smelly Xu He, who do you think is more important?"
Xu He snorted, pretended to be angry and ignored her.
In fact, complaining about Lu Heng's weight was just a strategy to resolve the embarrassment.
Sure enough, Lu Heng was no longer embarrassed along the way. He said a few words to Xu He when he had nothing to do, but he didn't notice at all that she was lying on a man's body.
Xu He was miserable.
The soft fragrant jade on his back, especially Lu Heng's chest, although he was wearing men's clothing, was very impressive.
Normally it would be a wonder to be covered by men's clothing, but now that it is lying on my back, the feeling is gone.
This is obviously a beautiful and good thing for every man, why is it said to be bitter?
Because the ground that had just passed the flood was full of mud, and there were some dirt roads in the countryside.
The muddy water is mixed on the smooth road, making it very smooth to walk on.
It's hard to walk this way, not to mention carrying a big living person on your back.
After walking like this for a while, seeing Xu He's breathing getting louder and louder, Lu Heng said: "Xu He, I'd better come down and try walking by myself!"
Xu He had been waiting for her words for a long time, and he hurriedly knelt down after hearing the words.
He folded another thicker stick and handed it to Lu Heng.
Lu Heng took two steps, but still couldn't do it.
There was no way, Xu He could only let her half-rely on him, put her hands around his neck, and help her walk forward.
I don't know how long he walked, but Xu He felt that he was almost exhausted, so he had to find a small temple to stop and rest.
The temple was already a bit dilapidated, and it was not known who it was dedicated to. Xu He looked up and saw "Du Di Temple" written on it.
When he opened the temple door and looked through the moonlight, he saw a clay statue in the temple dressed as a general. There were four big characters written on the statue: "Blessings and Protection of Two Rivers".
"Where is this?" Lu Heng jumped in and followed.
Xu He couldn't hide the excitement on his face and said: "This is Xia Sigong Temple, we have arrived at the Fishing Bank!"
