Bai Yu'an would indeed not slip off the boat so easily.
It was just a show for Shen Jue.
Make him think he has fallen into the water.
It was such a dark sky and there were no lights around. Even if there were torches to illuminate it, there was no way to rescue people from the water.
She saw the boat that Li Yanyu had prepared in advance, and climbed onto the edge of the boat the moment she jumped into the water.
The only oil lamp on her boat fell into the water, and the darkness here was so dark that Shen Jue couldn't see what was going on here.
Bai Yu'an then pulled the rope on the boat, and followed the downstream and river wind to make the boat swim downstream.
By the time Shen Jue reacted, she had already gone further downstream.
Bai Yu'an floated on the river all night. When the morning light came, he met other boats on the river and took a boat to continue going down.
Bai Yu'an was not sure whether Shen Jue would salvage her body, but the river was already deep. Even if he couldn't fish it out after a long time, she would have run away long ago.
Bai Yu'an didn't run around blindly. He just walked along the west side of the river and went to Xixi to hide for a while.
It was far away from the capital, and it was at the intersection with neighboring countries. There was a mixture of fish and dragons, and everyone was there. There were so many people coming and going that no one would notice her at all.
It was just that the boat was too tiring. Bai Yuan walked on the boat for two days and felt dizzy. She thought it was because of the wind and cold.
She was shaky and about to faint at any moment, which also frightened the boatman, so Bai Yu'an refused to ride with her again or give her more money.
Bai Yu'an had no choice but to stagger off the boat. The wound on his back was split open. If it was soaked in water and left untreated, it might become suppurative. So he found a nearby place to rest.
Bai Yu'an is not worried about running out of money at all. Her paintings and calligraphy can be sold for some money no matter where they are.
As long as Shen Jue doesn't come looking for him, Bai Yu'an will have already planned which town to become a teacher in, and will return to Shuyang in about ten years to explore the situation.
Besides, Shen Jue wouldn't have so much time to chase her. He was the chief assistant and if he left for too long, chaos would probably break out in the palace.
The city where Bai Yu'an is staying now is larger than Shuyang. He deliberately covered his face and found an inn at random. Bai Yu'an collapsed on the bed.
The clothes on her body were still a little wet, and she didn't bring anything with her except the money and the medicine Li Yanyu gave her.
Wearing wet clothes and being blown by the wind at night, Bai Yu'an couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up and opened the door. She gave the waiter half a pound of money and asked him to boil some medicine for her and bring in some clothes.
The waiter took the money and saw that the guest in front of him was in a mess. He yelled and went to arrange things.
When Bai Yu'an saw the waiter coming downstairs, he had a severe headache, and his forehead felt very hot when he touched it.
The pain in my back is the most uncomfortable, and I want to recover as soon as possible here.
After a while, the waiter came over with boiled medicine and a set of clothes.
Bai Yu'an lay on the bed, her body already boiling hot. She deliberately kept her face hidden and said hoarsely: "Can you please bring me another bucket of hot water, some food, and a piece of charcoal by the way."
The waiter was puzzled: "What do you want carbon for?"
Bai Yuan explained lazily, waved his hand, took out a few coins from under the pillow and threw them over. The waiter hurriedly took them, didn't ask any more questions, and left with a smile on his face.
After drinking the medicine, eating and bathing, Bai Yu'an looked at the blood stains on the clothes he changed out of, thinking that the wound on his back must have opened.
After enduring the discomfort and applying the medicine, he huddled under the quilt and fell asleep tiredly.
The wound on his back hadn't healed yet, and the wind and cold blew again. His body was already very cold, but he was sweating all over again. Bai Yu'an felt extremely uncomfortable and coughed twice again.
Moreover, the linen clothes that the waiter brought were made of too rough a material, making it uncomfortable to sleep with as they rubbed against the body. They did not absorb sweat, so they were all covered in sweat and sticky everywhere.
I didn't sleep much all night, and it was already dark outside.
Bai Yu'an lay on the bed and endured the pain. She felt that she almost didn't have the strength to raise her hands. She was quite ill.
Then she opened the medicine Li Yanyu gave her and applied it to herself with her hands behind her back. She was so dizzy that she just wiped it all off, not caring whether there were any areas that were not touched.
Bai Yu'an was so weak that he curled up and fell asleep again. Cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead, so he could only stay in the inn to recuperate some energy.
After staying in the inn for two days and drinking medicine for two days, Bai Yu'an felt a little better. The wound on his back began to itch and heal, and his mind became clearer.
But the linen clothes were really uncomfortable to wear. Bai Yu'an thought that she would have to go out and buy another one. She couldn't wear these clothes all the way.
In addition, if you buy some dry food, you don’t have to stop on the way.
She didn't know how to comb her hair, so she tied it up hastily in front of the bronze mirror and wrapped it with a cloth belt.
Bai Yu'an didn't care about the few strands of hair that fell down, so he picked up the charcoal next to him and applied it on his face in front of the bronze mirror.
Especially the red mole between the eyebrows, Bai Yu'an applied it hard, but the black paint looked really strange. She took a handkerchief and spread it evenly on her face, and the skin became a dull dark color. I even wiped it all over my neck.
It's just that the red mole can't be covered up, but it can't be found without looking carefully.
After leaving the inn, Bai Yu'an stood under the sun. After lying there for two days, he had almost no strength. He just walked down the stairs and his figure was shaky and unsteady.
She panted, squinted her eyes that were hit by the light, and waited for a while before moving forward.
It seemed like it was a market day today. There were many people walking on the street, and there were shouts and fireworks everywhere. Bai Yu'an looked around. No one in the crowd looked at her. It seemed that she didn't look too weird.
Walking to a clothing store, Bai Yu'an habitually looked at the plain white clothes, but the materials were all ordinary materials, and no one would buy white clothes, and even after looking around, there was nothing white.
But Bai Yu'an then thought again, white might be easier to expose.
Although I don't know if Shen Jue found out that she lied to him, it's always better to be careful.
Bai Yu'an found a brown one that was durable and inconspicuous. He touched the material with his hands and found that it was passable. After asking about the price, he bought two.
When I went out with my clothes, I smelled another fragrance. I turned around and saw a group of people buying sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.
Bai Yu'an felt her stomach and felt hungry. She hurriedly squeezed in and thought about buying two more yuan. She couldn't delay any longer, so she went back to pack up and hit the road.
Finally, he was able to wait in line. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake that had just come out of the steamer was extremely hot. Bai Yuan's hands were tender and he blew air with a grin on his face.
A woman next to her glanced at Bai Yu'an and saw that Huang Bula was a short and thin man, but his arms were so white and had been burned like this by a sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
After all, I was so surprised that I didn’t take a second look and pushed forward again.
Bai Yu'an walked out, looked at the steaming osmanthus cake in his hand, found a stone pillar in the corner and sat down, took a bite of the osmanthus cake while watching the carriages passing by on the street, and thought about whether to take the waterway or hire a carriage later. Walk.
The carriage is certainly more comfortable, but more expensive.
His fingers couldn't help but reach into his arms and touch the money bag. It was enough, but it was a bit troublesome to find the carriage.
Bai Yu'an planned to go to the main street after eating and ask where they could hire a carriage.
Shen Jue stood behind Bai Yu'an, looking at the delicate back and pursed her lips.
With the messy hair, the baggy and obviously ill-fitting clothes, and the dirty face, even with such a downcast appearance, Shen Jue could still recognize Bai Yuanlai at a glance.
The graceful movements of walking and the habits of every move can never be changed no matter what.
Even sitting in the corner, it took me a long time to find a clean place.
Seeing Bai Yu'an bending slightly and biting the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand, his posture was pitiful and humble, like the lowest hard worker among all living beings, with disheveled hair and dirty body.
Such a tidy person would be really cruel to herself in order to leave him.
Shen Jue's face was cold and his eyes were full of mockery.
