Chapter 30: Peasant Girl vs. Princess of the Former Dynasty (5)

Chen Mu led his elite troops and followed the guidance of the refugees all the way north to Wangjia Village.

"General, the dark clouds are coming. Why don't we rest here tonight?" Someone in the team suggested.

Chen Mu looked up at the sky. A large dark cloud was approaching the top of the mountain. It was indeed a sign of heavy rain.

"Okay." He pursed his lips, and his sharp jawline drew an arc in the air.

Shi Yi, who was immersed in the joy of picking flowers, did not notice the arrival of this group of strangers. At this time, she was waiting for Wang Ergou to go back and get the basket to take these flowers back to make flower food.

"Have you seen these two people?" Chen Mu's subordinates turned over from the horse and took out the portraits of Chu Mu and Lin Zhi.

Caught off guard, Shi Yi was startled, but she only glanced at them lightly, shook her head, and said without much interest: "I don't know them."

In this life, Chu Mu and Lin Zhi did not harm her and her family, so there was no need for her to take revenge on them.

"Let's go." Chen Mu glanced at the dark-skinned girl, his eyes calm without a trace of ripples.

"Yes." The subordinates immediately jumped on

their horses. The group went to the village again.

Shi Yi continued to pick flowers on the grass. When she had picked a bunch of flowers, she looked up at the group of people who had asked her before. They had disappeared at the entrance of the village.

She hurriedly threw down the flowers in her hand and took a shortcut to run home, intending to inform Lin Zhi and let her hide.

However, as soon as she reached the edge of the forest, she saw the officer who had asked her before.

"Tie him up." The officer gave an order, and a group of officers and soldiers immediately surrounded her.

Shi Yi looked at Wang Ergou hiding in the haystack from a distance, her eyes full of rejection. So many people could not twist their arms, and Wang Ergou would only catch two people. Wang Ergou saw that these people did not do anything excessive to Shi Yi, so he understood and ran away immediately.

"General, you are right. There is something wrong with this little girl." The subordinate grabbed Shi Yi's neck and pushed her in front of Chen Mu.

"Such a young girl who has never seen a big scene is not afraid of us. Instead, she is very calm. There must be something fishy." Chen Mu picked up Shi Yi and put her on the horse. "Find a local to ask for directions and go to this little girl's house first."

His original intention was not to disturb the people. He just wanted to obey the order to find the princess of the previous dynasty. Now, there is a clue, which is of course more convenient.

"Yes, General." The subordinate immediately rode forward to explore the way.

Shi Yi was caught, and Wang Ergou was already panicking. He hurried back to Shi's house to find Shi Yi's mother. But the aunt who should be resting at this time on weekdays, searched the fence and the courtyard today but there was no one.

He was so anxious that his eyes were red.

If Shi Yi really got into trouble, he would never forgive himself in his life.

"Wang Ergou?" Lin Zhi, who was called home by the aunt first because the weather was about to change, stopped him from running around.

"It's you." Wang Ergou felt relieved when he saw her, "Where did the aunt go?"

"Aunt is still digging yam on the mountain." Lin Zhi knew that he was Shi Yi's good friend, and the two often played together.

"I'm going to find her now." Wang Ergou hurriedly climbed over the fence and prepared to go up the mountain.

"What's wrong? Are you so anxious, like an ant on a hot pot?" Lin Zhi didn't know that she was in big trouble yet, and was still teasing him.

"The soldiers caught Shi Yi." Wang Ergou didn't have time to explain more to her, and immediately ran up the mountain.

"How did the soldiers find this place?" Lin Zhi muttered to herself, and then reacted instantly, muttering to herself: "They found this place."

"Where is she hiding?" She also began to panic.

These days, she has also met many villagers in Wangjia Village, and it is hard to guarantee that someone will not recognize her. For the reward, it is hard to imagine what these unruly people from poor mountains and bad waters would do. Even if she started to run up the mountain now, the officers and soldiers were so numerous that they would soon catch her. Is it God's will to kill her? What should she do?

The aunt came down the mountain with a basket full of yams on her back. When she saw Wang Ergou, her mood immediately became bad, "Why are you here? Where is our Shiyi?"

"Aunt, Shiyi was captured." Wang Ergou was still young after all, and he was extremely panicked. Seeing Shiyi's mother, he was even more anxious.

"What?" When the aunt holding the basket strap heard that Shiyi was captured, she didn't care about anything else. Her hand loosened and the yams in the basket fell all over the ground.

"Aunt, you should go home quickly." Wang Ergou didn't care about being beaten anymore. He grabbed the aunt's hand and started running home.

"My Shiyi, what happened to my Shiyi?" The aunt ran while thinking about her beloved baby.

She had a daughter when she was old, and she had only one precious child in her life. She had always been spoiled and was not allowed to do anything. If something really happened to Shi Yi, she and her husband would not be able to survive.

"Auntie~Auntie~" Wang Ergou looked at her figure running down the mountain, but he couldn't catch up with her even if he tried his best, and accidentally fell into the cave where animals were caught.

"Is there anyone at home?" Led by the "enthusiastic" villager Wang Ergou's father, Chen Mu and his group arrived at Shi Yi's home.

"Who are you?" Shi Yi's father coughed and came out with a cane.

"Dad." Shi Yi called out softly when he saw his long-lost relatives.

"You naughty child, where did you go to play crazy again?" Shi Yi's father recognized the leader of the group at a glance, walked to Chen Mu with a cane, and apologized: "It's our little daughter who is ignorant. Please forgive me if she has done anything wrong." "

Do you have an older daughter?" Chen Mu reacted quickly, his eyes searching in this fenced yard.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ergou's father immediately screamed, "Old Wang, when did your family have an older daughter?"

Shi Yi's father glared at the drunk Wang Ergou's father, then looked at Chen Mu and said shyly, "Indeed, there is an older daughter. But this older daughter is my illegitimate daughter, and neither the villagers nor my wife knows about it."

"Oh, I was wondering why there is a young woman in your family recently, and she is having sex with your old woman. It turns out that she is your illegitimate daughter from outside." Wang Ergou's father was not afraid of trouble at all, and he was drunk and staggering beside him, chattering.

"Wang Laizi, you should stop talking." Shi Yi's father raised his crutches and hit him on the foot.

"You old thing, I haven't said anything to you yet, and you dare to hit me." Wang Ergou's father, who was drunk from drinking some yellow soup, was about to strangle him with his hands.

"Okay." Chen Mu waved the horsewhip in his hand, and the fence wall cracked into several pieces, and the air suddenly condensed. He stared at the simple house with his eyes, and said in a steady voice: "Call her out."

"Okay, okay. I'll call her right away." Shi Yi's father went in again with his crutches.

Wang Ergou's father, who had been drunk for a long time, fell down beside the well and fell asleep while cursing.
