Chapter 189
Yunque is not reliable either. The mountain god promised to protect her. Is this what you call protection?
I don't know whether they are human or demon, they want to chop her with knives, but the mountain god doesn't care.
Could it be that this so-called blessing means that if she goes out at night, the mountain god will not come to eat her?
Thinking about the mountain god's offerings and his petty character, Shen Jiao felt that... it was probably true.
She wasn't going to be alone anyway.
That day, Shen Jiao was either wandering around the streets or sitting in the lobby of the inn, and went back to his dormitory to sleep at night.
Squeezed in a group of people, I feel safe and secure even though I am flat and smelly.
But it's not safe at all.
She had another dream at night, but this time there was nothing bloody.
She just lay there, half asleep. A woman lay beside her, fanning herself intermittently, bringing gusts of cool breeze.
Gradually, both of them fell into a deep sleep.
When Shen Jiao opened her eyes the next day, she felt refreshed and energetic.
He was neither wearing anything new nor anything new, his clothes were the same as yesterday, and the human skin mask was still on his face.
What is this?
A slap in the face and then a sweet date?
Shen Jiao packed her luggage and changed inns. She didn't dream about anything that night.
She didn't take it to heart anymore.
But it seemed that she was not the only one who had this dream. A foreigner disappeared in the village, and the president of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, Hao Youqian, disappeared with him.
It is said that those missing foreigners were seeking immortality, and they kept saying that they were guided by the mountain god and that they could achieve immortality as long as they found the temple. As for Hao Youqian, he simply wanted to watch the excitement and meet the mountain god.
These people hit it off immediately and were very happy.
But the guards and maids he left behind were frightened, and the tribesmen were probably also very worried.
Anyway, there is a group of people looking for people outside every day.
He also asked around to find out who had had strange dreams or picked up anything odd, and offered a reward to anyone who told him about it.
After hearing these words, Shen Jiao finally realized why outsiders often disappeared here. Who would suddenly want to seek immortality? There must be a reason.
I don’t know whether Yunque didn’t know this or he deliberately didn’t mention it.
Anyway, Shen Jiao doesn't want to get involved.
She was already thinking about leaving. No killers had chased her for such a long time, so she probably had to shake them off. So she should change her face, get a new identity, and live in a safer place.
The first two require connections, so forget it.
The most important thing is to move to a safer place to live.
If a small village like Zhuwa Village is not peaceful, one can imagine the situation in other places in Nanmao.
Maybe it was time to leave. Shen Jiao prepared some dry food, found a small caravan transporting tea, gave them some money, and agreed to leave together the next day.
Before leaving, she received a letter from Skylark, which was brought to her by a child.
It sounded like the child that Yun Que wanted to give to her.
Before Shen Jiao could ask more questions, she ran away shyly, and Shen Jiao had to read the letter.
In the letter, Yunque said that she had arrived at Wanteng Village and had eaten many delicious foods. In two days, she would offer sacrifices to the mountain god and ask him to choose a saint. She was a little nervous, but the saint comforted her and told her not to be afraid, saying that she would definitely be chosen.
Yunque asked her if it was the mountain god who told her.
She said again no, it was her feeling.
Yunque thought that feelings didn't count, but she still thanked the saint.
The letter was torn in half, and the writing was anticlimactic.
It seems like there is still something left to say.
There must be one. Skylark is so talkative, it is impossible that he only wrote two or three sentences.
I don’t know what happened, maybe I didn’t have time?
Shen Jiao couldn't send her a letter, so he could only leave a letter in the inn that looked like a cricket cage, and ask the innkeeper to pass it to her when he got back. If she didn't come back, he would wait for the next messenger to come and take it back to her.
Anyway, there is no rush. There is only one sentence in the letter:
I'm leaving, take care of yourself, and see you later.
——Strangers stay.
Shen Jiao didn't know what she was thinking, she actually used Xue Shun's font.
Perhaps she was still unwilling to hide her identity and let Shen Jiao disappear from this world.
So I always want to leave something behind.
I don’t know if anyone can discover it.
She went around in circles and finally arrived at Dongsheng, where she bribed a minor official who handled household registration with money.
She became Tian Bajiao, an orphan girl from a remote and poor village in Dongsheng.
To be honest, she must have been wandering around all the time and had to shake her brain a lot before she came up with this name.
But this is the first time in her life that she has been a good citizen.
For a moment, she felt like she was reborn.
Then she felt her empty pockets.
As soon as I walked down the street I started to feel itchy.
She was in a good mood, so she only stole two buns and a horse.
Ran all the way to Putao Town.
It seemed to be a nice place with simple folk customs. Shen Jiao went there to have a free meal and wanted to wash the dishes to pay off her debts, but the shopkeeper told her to forget it and asked her if she had encountered any difficulties.
What difficulties could Shen Jiao have?
She was just an orphan who had failed to find her relatives and came here in a daze.
There is no roof over my head and no land to live on. I have clothes to cover my body but not enough food to eat. I have today but no tomorrow.
"I had originally thought that I would just have a good meal, pay off my debts, and then leave. I never expected that you, the shopkeeper, would be so kind. Thank you so much. If there is an afterlife, Bajiao will repay your kindness."
Tian Bajiao said this and turned to leave.
The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped her: "Hey, hey, hey, girl, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, don't leave yet, this is your first time in our town, right? You haven't had a good look around yet, why don't you stay here first and have a good time? Let me tell you, there is nothing in this world that you can't overcome. If you are healthy, why are you afraid of starving to death..."
He almost wore his lips out with words, and Tian Bajiao stayed crying.
The clothes she was wearing had not been changed for several days and were extremely dirty, so the shopkeeper found a set of her own clothes for her to change into.
Tian Bajiao took a comfortable hot bath.
Two days later, she got a new job, working as a maid at Dingxiangfang.
According to Tian Bajiao himself, his family used to run an incense shop, and he knew a little about spices and herbs, but his parents died and he couldn't keep the shop... It was a sad story, and the shopkeeper and his family didn't dare to ask too much.
I took her there to try it out and found out that it was true.
So it was just right to go and give him a helping hand.
Although she was called a maid, she was not selling her body; she was just a servant.
The owner of Dingxiangfang was also the shopkeeper's best friend, and he was very kind and willing to help her.
So Tian Bajiao settled down smoothly.
She ate and lived in the store. The monthly salary was not much, only 500 wen, but it was enough for her to live on.
Tian Bajiao was very satisfied, and her boss was also satisfied to see that she worked efficiently and without any worries.
If two good things are combined into one good thing, everyone will be happy.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper and his wife also breathed a sigh of relief.
