Chapter 758 The Unlucky Sister Who Was Married in Exchange (3)

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Liu Shichu, who had already taken a nap outside, found an unguarded section of the city wall, tiptoed lightly a few times, stood up and jumped over using her lightness skills. She fell to the ground like a light feather, without causing any noise, and soon her figure disappeared into the darkness.

The next day when Liu Shichu appeared in Lincheng, she had already changed into women's clothes. Although her three months in the mountains had improved her health a lot, her foundation was still there. So even if her skin was white, her hair was black, and her temperament was outstanding, she was just a slightly pretty girl with a unique temperament. However, her expression was indifferent and calm, which was very different from the reserved, shy or delicate expressions of ordinary girls. This made the ghosts and monsters who saw her traveling alone dare not have any bad ideas about her, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Liu Shichu found a house to rent, planning to resolve his identity problem in Lincheng before going to Beijing.

It took her several days to find someone who had connections in both the black and white worlds and could get her an identity certificate. After spending a large sum of money, she finally obtained a household registration certificate that was very suitable for her current identity. Then, through some other means, she successfully transformed herself into an orphan whose parents had both passed away and who went to the capital alone to live with her relatives.

Although the identity of an orphan girl could easily attract covetous eyes, Liu Shichu was least afraid of safety issues, so this identity was just right for her.

After obtaining his identity certificate, Liu Shichu stayed in Lincheng for another half a month and made some preparations. Then he bought an old donkey and rode it slowly to the capital.

Fortunately, Lincheng is not far from the capital, and it only takes half a month to get there by riding a donkey.

There were still quite a few pedestrians along the way, so Liu Shichu didn't have to worry too much about safety. Although many people looked at her strangely as a woman walking alone, she didn't care at all, as long as others didn't bother her.

But not everyone is sensible enough to refrain from provoking Liu Shichu. Some greedy and vicious people who overestimate their own capabilities see her as a fat sheep walking by and always want to take her for themselves and sell her for money.

Liu Shichu was riding on the old donkey, leisurely chewing a steamed bun, when she heard an old voice asking her: "Miss, are you going out alone?"

Liu Shichu turned around and saw an old lady sitting on an ox cart. Her ox cart was following Liu Shichu's old donkey.

"Yes." Liu Shichu heard her question and nodded in response.

The old lady's eyes suddenly sparkled: "Where are you going, girl?"

Liu Shichu said nonchalantly, "Let's go to the capital."

"Going to the capital? Oh! What a coincidence. My old man and I are also going to the capital to visit our son and daughter-in-law. We happen to be going the same way, so why don't we go together? It's safer this way. After all, as a weak woman, it's easy for people to stare at you when you travel..." The old lady pleasantly invited Liu Shichu to go with her.

The old man driving the ox cart also looked kind and polite. He said to Liu Shichu, "Yes, girl, it's not safe for you to travel alone. If you don't mind, you can travel with us. Don't worry, my wife and I have been vegetarians and Buddhists for decades. We won't do anything against our conscience. You don't have to worry that we will cheat you. Besides, we are old and weak. We can't cheat you even if we want to..."

"Yes, yes, we are two old people with one foot in the coffin. What can we do for a young man like you?" The old lady put on a kind face and said with a smile, as if she was really a kind-hearted person. She kept saying that the two of them were no threat to Liu Shichu, so as to reduce her vigilance...

"Since Auntie and Uncle are so kind, I won't refuse." Liu Shichu chuckled, looked at the two of them, and readily agreed to the suggestion of going to the capital together.

The old lady and the old man were very surprised: "That's great, we have company for the journey. By the way, what are you doing in Beijing? Are your family or relatives there?"

The two men calmly inquired about Liu Shichu's situation, thinking that she was a naive and innocent girl who knew nothing, so they didn't even try to ask her questions seriously.

Liu Shichu seemed not to notice their intentions and answered very straightforwardly: "I have a relative in the capital, my aunt. She followed her husband to the capital to make a living more than ten years ago. Now that my parents are gone, I have no choice but to go to the capital to seek refuge with her. I hope she can take me in for the sake of my mother..."

"Oh, you are such a poor girl. No wonder you go out alone. It turns out that there is no one at home. Fortunately, you still have relatives to rely on. Don't worry, you will have nothing to fear when you find your aunt in the capital." When the old lady saw that Liu Shichu "was not cunning" and told her the purpose of going to the capital, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy. She began to comfort her and get closer to her.

"Girl, where does your aunt live in Beijing? What does her family do? Maybe my son and daughter-in-law know her. I can help you find her then." The old man looked at Liu Shichu with a loving look and said.

"Yes, yes, my son and daughter-in-law have also lived in Beijing for more than ten years. They are very familiar with the city. If you want to find someone, they are the best." The old lady hurriedly helped.

"Really? That's great! When we get to Beijing, I won't be polite. I'll have to trouble your son to help find my aunt..." Liu Shichu said with surprise.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Since we have the fate to go to Beijing together, I will help you if I can. As a little girl going to a place where you are unfamiliar with everyone, isn't it normal for you to ask for help?" The old lady was very kind.

So Liu Shichu followed the old couple along the way, and it was not boring at all. Liu Shichu listened to them asking about her all overtly and covertly, and winking at each other in places where they thought she couldn't see, and she felt very happy in her heart.

These two people were still planning to take advantage of her, but they didn't know that she didn't have any so-called aunt at all, and the news she said was all made up by her.

Half a month later, the gate of the capital city was just around the corner. The old lady suddenly said to Liu Shichu, "Miss Liu, let's rest outside the city gate and fill our stomachs before going in. After all, we still have to wait in line for a while to get to the capital city, and I'm afraid I can't stand it."

"Okay." Liu Shichu agreed, and the three of them stopped outside the city gate. The old lady took out a pancake and said to Liu Shichu with a smile: "Miss Liu, I still have some pancakes. We are already in the capital. It would be a waste if we don't eat this pancake. I'll give you one."

"No, I still have some dry food. You and I can eat it." Liu Shichu shook his head and refused.
