Lin Yue saw that the young master didn't seem to notice her little action, so she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, but she didn't dare to indulge herself further.
After keeping like this for a while, Lin Yue stepped back and kneaded for a while before saying:
"Sir, it's done."
"Um."
Chu Qi turned around and looked at her. Under the moonlight, her eyebrows and eyes seemed to be tinged with a little soft light, making her even more beautiful.
Because she had taken a shower, the bright red lip balm on her lips was washed away, revealing the original light pink color of her lips.
Just like a lotus in summer, pink and delicate.
Noticing that she was being stared at by the young master, Lin Yue bit her lower lip nervously, "Is there something on my face?"
She asked shyly.
"Your hair is messy." Chu Qi reached out and lifted the hair beside Lin Yue's cheek behind her ear.
The warm fingertips brushed across her cheek, and the girl lowered her head shyly, "Hmm..."
The young master seems to be particularly gentle tonight.
The girl's heart was beating like a deer when she saw the moon.
Chu Qi withdrew her hand, unscrewed the water bag and drank some warm water.
Their current location is not on the simple map of the Qi version, but if they move forward about 400 miles in this direction, they will come across a town.
During this period, they would probably have to travel for about four days to arrive.
I don’t know if it’s because the population is sparse, but there are very few official roads along the way, and most of them are mountain paths. Fortunately, horse-drawn carriages can pass through smoothly.
At the foot of the mountain, in the small village, you can still hear the villagers talking and talking in the evening.
Now that night has fallen, the mountain village seems to have fallen into a deep sleep, without a single sound being heard.
Lin Yue was afraid of the cold, so she wrapped herself in a thick robe, pulled open the curtain, and moved closer to the young master.
Chu Qi took out the books she had asked the waiter to buy yesterday.
The art of papermaking has already appeared in this world.
It’s just that papermaking technology was not very mature.
It takes a lot of time and energy to make beautiful and smooth paper, so generally beautiful and smooth paper is only used by royal nobles.
Most of the paper circulated among ordinary people was crudely made.
The books Chu Qi bought were purchased in ordinary bookstores. The paper used for the books was not very good, but fortunately the content was good, so this flaw could be ignored.
The book she was reading tonight was about the business of this world. It could help her effectively understand the taboos of doing business in this world so as to avoid accidentally violating any rules.
Lin Yue leaned over and listened to the sound of the paper rubbing against each other. It was like hypnosis and he felt sleepy as he listened.
She covered her mouth and yawned, "Sir, I'll take a nap..."
"Go to sleep."
"Yeah." The girl climbed into the carriage, covered herself with the soft and fragrant quilt, and fell into a sweet dream.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden commotion at the foot of the mountain. The sounds of dogs barking and people shouting mixed together, and the noise resounded through the sky.
Chu Qi opened her eyes from the darkness, lifted the curtain, walked out of the car to check, and saw countless fires lit at the foot of the mountain.
Looking closely, I realized that they were torches held by the villagers.
"Well, what happened?"
Lin Yue crawled out in panic.
Chu Qi turned back and comforted him: "It's okay, you can continue to sleep."
From this angle, although the small mountain village does not seem to be far from here, in fact, if you really calculate the actual distance carefully.
The small mountain village is quite some distance away from here, so if something really happens, Chu Qi will have time to run away.
......
In the dark forest.
The two women held each other's hands and ran desperately.
One of the women was wearing tattered clothes and only thin straw sandals on the cold night, one of which fell off while she was running away.
“Hoo—Hoo—”
Zheng Wan was gasping for breath, her eyes were dry, and she felt her lungs were burning. The pain almost made her faint.
However, the noisy sound from the mountain village behind her made her dare not stop at all. She bit her lips hard, breaking the skin. The pain made her confused mind clearer.
"Xiao Wan, hold on, let's run to the mountain. As long as we climb over that mountain, we can avoid them."
Another woman wearing a patched coarse linen shirt held Zheng Wan's arm tightly. Her arm was very thin and weak, as if it would fall down with a breeze.
However, her strength was unexpectedly great, and she was the one who supported Zheng Wan, who was exhausted, during the entire run.
"Hu——" Zheng Wan gasped for breath, her eyes were blurry, and she ran hard relying on her instinct to survive.
Behind them, a group of villagers holding torches and wearing tattered linen clothes followed them with ferocious looks.
There were both men and women among them, with the men making up the majority, all of them looking at the women running away in front of them with red eyes.
A man asked, "How could you let her get away?"
"It's all that damn girl's fault. She's a traitor and actually teamed up with that bitch to run away." A middle-aged woman replied.
"Ah!" Zheng Wan was suddenly tripped by something. In an instant, her calf was bitten by something. The stinging pain made her face turn pale.
"Xiao Wan, are you okay?"
Lin Erya anxiously grabbed Zheng Wan's arm, "Hurry up, they are catching up!!"
"Yeah!!" Zheng Wan stood up stubbornly and continued running forward.
However, her leg injury was so serious that it seemed to hurt more than being beaten. She only ran a few steps before her legs went limp and she could no longer run.
Sitting on the ground in despair, Zheng Wan said with tears in her eyes: "Erya, run quickly, don't worry about me, I really can't run anymore..."
"......"
Lin Erya saw that there were villagers holding torches behind her and were about to catch up with her, and she became extremely anxious.
After taking a deep look at Zheng Wan in the dark, Lin Erya took a deep breath and ran forward without looking back.
“Got it!”
Behind me, some villagers shouted excitedly.
"Damn, there's another one?"
Some people are dissatisfied.
"She is the daughter of my second uncle. That damn girl has nowhere to go and will come back sooner or later. Don't worry about her."
A younger voice replied.
......
Xiaowan.....Xiaowan, I'm sorry...
Lin Erya felt a sore nose and ran with numb hands and feet. Thinking of Zheng Wan's fate, she couldn't help crying.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Lin Erya found herself in a relatively open area.
“Ouch—”
A wolf's howl came from far away on another hill. Lin Erya got goose bumps all over her body and looked at the small village below in confusion.
In her arms, she had an identity disc that she had hidden secretly and that once belonged to a girl.
The girl was about the same age as her and looked very similar.
If I had this identity disc, maybe I could survive in this world by passing myself off as the real thing—
But could she really bear to leave Zheng Wan behind and run away alone?
After asking herself, Lin Erya found that she couldn't leave like this.
Confused and in pain, she squatted down and cried silently, helplessly.
At this moment, an indifferent voice sounded in front of her:
"What happened?"
The voice was slightly hoarse, but extremely pleasant to the ear.
