Run away
Why is Fang Zai here? Where is Granny Fang? Are they together?
After a few days of "scouting", Su Fangli had already figured out the escape route and planned step by step where to hide after escaping.
She left the surrounding scene behind her, her skirt fluttering, attracting some people's attention, but soon, her figure disappeared around the corner.
Su Fangli had no worries about food and drink these days and slept well. She was full of energy and didn't feel tired even after running 800 meters.
"Mom, Dad, where are you?"
Su Fangli paused and looked towards the roadside.
In the alley, a little girl of two or three years old was wiping away tears.
Her clothes were dusty and she had no shoes.
Passersby walked hurriedly, turning a blind eye, as if they were already accustomed to this kind of thing.
It is winter now, and it is definitely not okay for a child like this to stand barefoot. Su Fangli hesitated and looked back.
Cen Xiaying did not catch up for the time being.
"What's wrong?" Su Fangli squatted in front of the little girl.
"Mom, I want you." The little girl just kept crying.
Su Fangli inexplicably felt that the little girl did not run away on her own.
She didn't dare stay there for too long, so she held out her hand to the little girl and said, "I'll take you to find it, okay?"
Su Fangli hugged the little girl and said, "Be good, have a cigarette, and I'll take you to find your mother."
Following Tarot's guidance, Su Fangli brought the little girl to a house.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Amid the shouts of vendors setting up stalls nearby, she helped her sort out her clothes and bought her a pair of shoes in a store.
After waiting for a long time, the door finally opened and a middle-aged man looked out.
When their eyes met, the other person's expression suddenly changed when he saw the little girl in Su Fangli's arms, and he quickly closed the door.
Su Fangli had anticipated this and kicked it away.
"Who are you? What are you doing?" The man was pulled back several steps by the door and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Hearing the noise, a man came out of the room.
"What happened?" The woman holding her belly walked to the man and wanted to help him, but was pushed away by the man.
The pregnant woman followed the man's gaze and looked at Su Fangli. Her expression changed when she saw the little girl in her arms.
"This is your child, right?" Su Fangli said.
There was constant whispering behind me, and many people who discovered this place came over to watch the fun.
"No." The woman denied without hesitation.
"Mom." The little girl looked at the woman, "Mom, give me a hug."
The woman's face turned pale and blue for a long time. She looked away and hugged her belly tightly with her hands.
"Go, go, go, don't gather here." The man saw people gathered at the door and his face turned very bad. "And you, I don't care who you are, leave now."
Su Fangli looked at the two people's horoscopes.
If a man's Sun is in Capricorn and in conjunction with Saturn in the seventh house, the relationship between the couple will be dull; if Gemini is in the fifth house, the ruler of the house, Mercury, will be suppressed by Saturn, and the relationship with children will be weak.
A woman with Sun in Aquarius in the twelfth house is in conflict with Pluto, which means she is destined to be lonely; a woman with Moon in Virgo in the fifth house is in conflict with Mars, and the House of Children is affected by evil spirits, which means her pregnancy will be unstable.
The fifth house of both of them is affected by malefics, so they will not have many offspring and most of them will die young. The eighth house of both of them is in conflict with malefics, which is a sign of short life.
"Mom." The little girl could already feel her mother's emotions, tears streaming down her face, but she didn't dare to cry out loud, so she could only call out softly.
"Who is your mother?" The man recovered and stood up to chase them away. "Hurry up and leave. If you want to raise this child, take him home and raise him yourself. We are poor and cannot afford it."
Su Fangli remained completely still. She held out her dagger with one hand to prevent him from pushing her. Her tone was icy, "Did you two have bad luck in your early years, and only lucked on in the last two years?"
The man was surprised: "How did you know?"
"This little girl is a lucky charm. With her around, there's a chance your poverty and short life will improve." Su Fangli said.
"Who are you trying to fool? That's a money-loser." The man looked Su Fangli up and down suspiciously. "Are you a fortune teller?"
Su Fangli nodded.
The man sneered at the scene and said, "Anyone dares to pretend to be a god. How can a girl be a lucky charm? My son is. I don't have time for you now. Get out of here."
Su Fangli glanced at the pregnant woman behind the man, then looked at the crowd watching the excitement around them.
Her eyes flashed, and she saw Cen Xiaying at the outermost edge. He looked interested, his eyes fixed on her face. Seeing her attention, he grinned and licked the tip of his teeth with the tip of his tongue.
Can't run away.
Su Fangli took a deep breath and looked away.
She knew that even if she let them take the little girl back today, they would not raise her well and would probably find another opportunity to lose her again.
"If you two just throw away the Fuwa, everything you have now will be taken away by heaven within three months. Be careful. And without the Fuwa to protect your home, you won't be able to keep the baby in your belly."
"How dare you, a wicked person, curse my son?" The man was furious and tried to grab the dagger from Su Fangli's hand. "You want to extort money, right? You've cheated me."
His hand was blocked by a dagger in mid-air. Cen Xiaying appeared behind Su Fangli at some point and helped her block it.
Su Fangli patted the little girl in her arms, hummed soothingly, and then looked at the man with a distorted face.
"That's all I have to say. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." She said calmly, "In three months, you will understand."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The onlookers around hurriedly made way for her and whispered in groups behind her.
"Is this true?"
"I don't think she's a liar. With her looks and demeanor, she's like a fairy."
"But women can actually learn the art of divination?"
"Well, she said it would be three months later. We'll see then."
-
"I was wondering where the girl had gone, and how come she picked up a child." After getting away from the crowd, Cen Xiaying joked.
Su Fangli looked at him seriously, until the smile on Cen Xiaying's face froze, and then she said, "If you want to take me back, I won't resist, but can you let me take her with me?"
"Do you really want to raise a child?" Cen Xiaying looked surprised.
"Is it not possible?" Su Fangli asked.
Cen Xiaying held up her arm and touched her chin with one hand, "I thought you knew how to run, and you weren't stupid. But in the end..."
"Hey." He didn't even look at her, but pressed Fang Li's hand: "Just talk, why are you always holding a knife? Don't cut your hand."
Cen Xiaying's tone was full of coaxing: "How about I find a father and mother to raise her? No? But you are a girl with a half-grown child, how are you going to get married in the future?"
Su Fangli didn't see that he didn't seem to blame her for running away, so she wasn't afraid of him. He looked menacing, but he wasn't necessarily a bad person. She could read the horoscope and read people's expressions, so she wasn't afraid of him from the bottom of her heart.
"Don't we have to go back?" Su Fangli looked at the unfamiliar street.
Cen Xiaying walked in front and led the way: "The city is going to be in chaos recently. I'll find you another place to hide. Don't go out unless necessary. I'll send someone to bring you food."
"Are the foreigners going to attack us?" Su Fangli asked.
Cen Xiaying was surprised: "You know that too?"
He chuckled. "Not only that. There's also the deposed Crown Prince. You've seen it these past few days. The deputy city lord wanted to lure the deposed Crown Prince out, so he asked you to pretend to be the former Prime Minister's only daughter. But he's also naive. How could such a lunatic risk entering the city just for a marriage partner..."
Cen Xiaying looked at Su Fanglina and said: You even said this, will I not be able to see the sun tomorrow?
He laughed: "Don't worry, I won't kill you to silence you."
Su Fangli thought for a moment and asked, "Then how are you going to explain this to the deputy city lord?"
"Are you concerned about me?" Cen Xiaying stopped and turned to look at her: "With your words, my efforts are not in vain."
He paused, his hand on the dagger at his waist: "Who is it?"
A person slowly walked out from the shadows.
"Leave the person next to you."
"It's you?" Su Fangli looked at Ji Lichuan, her former cellmate, in surprise.
"I wonder who it is." Cen Xiaying pulled out the dagger and held it horizontally in front of her. "A hero saving a beauty?"
Ji Lichuan also drew out his weapon, a silver whip of unknown material.
Seeing the posture of these two people, Su Fangli hugged the little girl and silently took two steps back.
Cen Xiaying, intent on demonstrating her martial prowess in front of Su Fangli, charged forward without a word. The two exchanged several blows in a single breath, their fight evenly matched.
Ji Lichuan used his whip to wrap around the opponent's dagger, temporarily easing the situation, and then took something out of his arms.
"This is..." Cen Xiaying's pupils trembled. He retracted the knife, took the object in his hand, and examined it carefully for a moment. "I can give you an incense stick of time."
"That's great." Ji Lichuan said with a smile. He put away the whip and came to Su Fangli.
Su Fangli looked confused. Ji Lichuan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her: "What are you looking at? You look so blank. Come on, I'll take you to see your fellow villagers."
She was being pulled away by the other party and couldn't help but look back. Cen Xiaying looked at her and blinked her right eye in a pretentiously romantic manner.
"You..." Su Fangli hesitated.
"Um?"
"never mind."
Su Fangli thought the adventure of the past few days was finally over and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But unexpectedly, before the two of them took a few steps, several people in the distance came straight towards them.
After seeing who was coming, Ji Lichuan put away the warm smile on his face and put Su Fangli behind him.
"Miss Fang."
The leader was tall and straight, still dressed in the same black robe, followed by Ye Zhihui and several subordinates. It turned out to be He Chenghuan, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
When he saw Su Fangli, he breathed a sigh of relief with a barely perceptible sense.
They all looked more haggard and tired than before. Especially Ye Zhihui, whose dark circles under his eyes were so obvious that even Su Fangli could see them clearly from this distance.
"It's you." Ji Lichuan's body was tense and his expression was alert.
He Chenghuan's expression changed for a moment, but he quickly suppressed his emotion. His already thin lips tightened even more, and his eyes were solemn and complex.
It seems that they have known each other for a long time.
"You really dare to come."
Amidst the stalemate, a clear voice joined in. Cen Xiaying leisurely approached, forming a three-way standoff with them.
Su Fangli looked around and felt that she had accidentally gotten involved in some shocking feud.
She stepped back very slightly, and the eyes of the three groups of people immediately fell on her.
Su Fangli:......
Ji Lichuan: "This matter has nothing to do with her."
He Chenghuan: "Yeah."
Cen Xiaying: "Indeed. But I never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was such a sentimental man, willing to take the risk and come here for his fiancée. Unfortunately, she is not the one you are looking for."
He Chenghuan glanced at Su Fangli, who was holding the little girl and was not involved in the matter, pursed his lips and looked away.
"I know you hate me, but you don't have to work for that bastard He Chang for this."
"Heh." Cen Xiaying snorted coldly and waved her hand to signal the people behind her to come forward.
The confrontation between the few people did not last long, as the sound of horse hooves could be heard from inside the city.
"Sir, we shouldn't stay here for long." The subordinates behind He Chenghuan advised.
Everyone understands the truth, but it would be better if no one moves at this moment. Once someone moves——
"Catch him!"
The scene suddenly became chaotic. Su Fangli, holding the little girl, took a few steps back, trying to get away from the battlefield. Suddenly, someone suddenly grabbed her arm. The person pressed somewhere on her arm, causing her hand to go numb. The little girl slipped from her arms, and she was yanked onto the horse.
Su Fangli turned around and saw the little girl sitting alone on the ground. She looked around for a while and saw Cen Xiaying nearby.
"Help me take care of her! Please!"
Before she could see Cen Xiaying's reaction, she was taken out of the city by a galloping horse.
"Who are you?" Su Fangli was held tightly in the grip, unable to turn back. The other party remained silent, only squeezing the horse's belly.
It seemed like this wasn't someone she knew. Su Fang Li's heart sank slowly.
The surrounding scenery was rapidly receding as the man rode his horse up the mountain. Su Fangli silently noted down the places he passed by while thinking about how to retreat.
More hooves clattered. Someone was catching up.
Su Fangli was unable to open her eyes due to the wind. The mountain road was bumpy and she had given up on escaping. She held on to the saddle tightly with both hands, fearing that she would be thrown off the horse if she was not careful.
Her thoughts were shaken and shattered, and in a trance, she heard:
