"Hole...Doggie hole..."
The two men who were tiptoeing around the general's mansion, sneaking around and running around were stopped by the sound of a baby's whirring.
"What?" The scarred man in black who was leading the way turned around and asked.
"Dog hole." Rong Chaoxi pointed to a cluster of round bushes in the corner of the wall, "Drill..."
"Boss, she told us to go out through the dog hole." The pockmarked man in black helped translate.
The scarred man in black twitched his mouth slightly: This little thing is really evil!
"Boss, do you want to drill?"
The scarred man in black touched his chin and thought for a moment...
Unable to figure out, "Drill——"
"Sh-!"
Before he could finish his words, Rong Chaoxi bent her arm and covered her mouth with her dark little hand.
"Someone."
At the same time, a low voice sounded not far away, "Who!"
"Hide quickly!" Before he finished speaking, the man in black with a scar had already jumped onto a tree nearby.
"I, I, I...what should I do..."
The pockmarked man in black was spinning around anxiously. There was nowhere to hide, and he couldn't climb a tree with light skills.
"Dongdong..." Rong Chaoxi also patted Ma Zi's shoulder anxiously.
Is this guy an idiot? He just went out through the dog hole!
"Ah, yes, yes, yes..." The pain from his shoulder sobered the pockmarked man in black a little, "Dog hole, dog hole..."
He muttered as he rushed towards the dog hole.
“Who’s there?!”
The sound of him rooting through the bushes attracted the attention of the guards not far away, and they walked towards this side.
"Meow~"
As the pockmarked man in black carried Rong Chaoxi out of the dog hole, a cat's meow was heard.
Then, on the other side of the path, a tabby cat emerged from behind the bushes with graceful steps.
"It turned out to be a cat..." The guard who rushed over breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the kitten to continue patrolling.
When the man with scar in black saw people walking away, he jumped out of the wall from the tree.
"Boss, that was a close call just now. We almost got caught..." The pockmarked man in black patted his chest with lingering fear. "Luckily, I have this little thing..."
At this point, he realized something was wrong, "Why did the little thing help us escape?"
“…” The man in black with scar also wanted to ask this question.
He touched his chin again and stared at Rong Chaoxi thoughtfully.
Ah! It seems like I’m going to be discovered again.
Rong Chaoxi's eyes rolled and he immediately came up with an idea.
"Hide and seek...so fun..." The little guy grinned and laughed.
He clapped his hands happily, but was immediately restrained by the pockmarked man in black.
"This little thing is so brave, she actually thinks we are playing with her, hahahaha..." The man in black with the scar laughed softly.
"But it's good that she didn't cry or make a fuss, which actually saved us a lot of trouble."
"Go back to the thatched cottage first. When the city gate opens tomorrow, you and Aunt Tao will pretend to be her parents and leave the city early in the morning."
…
The next day.
The sky was turning pale.
A thin man with pockmarks all over his face, wearing a coarse linen shirt, looked at the bleak and freezing man with a wild glance, and some dogs walked stealthily towards the city gate.
The woman traveling with him was also dressed simply, wearing plain clothes, with her hair tied up with a cloth, her face was dull, and she wore a smoky gray cloak to keep warm.
But the corner of her clothes that was exposed because of the baby in her arms was brocade.
Although the baby's face was dirty, he was round and chubby, and didn't look like a blessing that could be raised in a poor family.
"stop!"
Just as they were two steps away from stepping out of the city gate, a cold and contemptuous voice sounded behind them.
The two of them stopped and cold sweat broke out on their backs in the cold wind.
They looked at each other: Don't panic!
The pockmarked man immediately turned around, slightly bent his body, and said with a flattering smile, "Sir, is there...what is going on?"
The armored soldier strode closer, his eyes fixed on the baby in the arms of the woman who slowly turned around.
The cold morning breeze blew the little baby's cheeks pink, making it look like a Fuwa doll in a painting. Even the dirt on its cheeks couldn't hide its clear, jade-white skin.
His eyes were bright and clear, with distinct black and white. His pitch-black pupils were now staring at the armored soldier without fear, his eyes full of curiosity.
The armored soldier's heart moved, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: The little baby is so cute.
Then the corner of his mouth suddenly dropped: It is even more impossible that these two people can raise it!
"You..." The armored soldier looked at the two of them and asked quietly, "Who is this child?"
"We are... we are hers..." The pockmarked man broke out in sweat on his forehead. He was about to blurt out the word "father and mother" but was interrupted by the sound of a baby's gurgling.
"Auntie, I'm hungry..."
The little guy rubbed his belly and pouted, looking extremely aggrieved, as if he was extremely hungry.
"Oh, oh..." The woman's nervousness eased and she hurriedly took out the newly bought milk bottle from the package.
"Come and drink milk."
"Sir, this is my eldest brother's child. I brought him to the city to buy things yesterday..." The pockmarked man felt relieved and quickly explained.
The armored soldier was still a little skeptical, but when he saw the baby happily drinking milk and being very intimate with the woman, his doubts were dispelled.
"I never thought a family like yours could raise such a blessed child."
"My family has only had one girl like this for five generations. We pamper her and provide her with the best food and clothing we can. Naturally, she has become blessed, which makes the official laugh."
The pockmarked man smiled innocently and nodded.
A family of three walked out of the city gate.
"Huh..." After getting away from the city gate, Tao Gu let out a long sigh of relief, "That was a close call just now."
