Chapter 258 Go to the county town to find a shop!
In a cave on a hilltop in a neighboring county, Hu San pulled off a chicken leg from the roasted wild meat and handed it to Chen Xiaohua with a smile: "My dear, this chicken leg is for you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaohua took the chicken leg and said in a muffled voice: "Now I have caused you to be wanted along with me. Maybe the two of us will have to hide like this for the rest of our lives. Do you regret it?"
Hu San took a bite of the chicken, swallowed it, picked up the bowl beside him, took a big sip of water and said, "What are you regretting? I was often hungry in the village. Now, we can eat a full meal every day here, which is great!"
"You've been lucky these past few days. You've been able to hunt prey every day. Who can be lucky all the time? Besides, I didn't keep much of the money I took from the Gu family."
As Chen Xiaohua was talking, she suddenly stared at Hu San and said seriously, "Hu San, I was the only one who did the murders on Gu Yun and Wang. As long as you tell the government where I am hiding and make amends, you will be fine."
"As for me, I have already become familiar with this hill these days. When the officers and soldiers from the government come over, I will deliberately let them see me running away. This will prove that you did not deceive them. Even if they fail to catch me, they will not blame you!"
"This way, you can at least be free in the future!"
When Hu San heard this, he quickly raised his hand and swore: "Chen Xiaohua, you are not testing me. I, Hu San, have said that if you become my wife, I will only treat you well in the future. No matter what happens, I will only listen to you!"
Chen Xiaohua heard this and looked at Hu San's face. In fact, he was really ugly in every way. Compared with Gu Yun, one was the mud under the ground and the other was the moon in the sky.
However, such a person treated her a hundred times better than Gu Yun. Although she had to hide from him these days, they were the most respected days since she married Gu Yun. As long as she didn't want to do something, Hu San would not force her.
Also, the person she felt most sorry for in her life was her former good sister Daya. Although it was Gu Yun who started it, in fact, she had long been jealous of Daya for having such a fiancé that all girls dreamed of, so she had long been in love with Gu Yun.
She defeated Gu Yun and married him as she wished, but that was also the beginning of her retribution.
Seeing Chen Xiaohua staring at him without saying anything, Hu San turned his head slightly away and said in a low voice embarrassedly: "Chen Xiaohua, I...I am not as good-looking as Gu Yun, but I will definitely treat you better than he does!"
Chen Xiaohua: “I know!”
"Hey, Xiaohua, eat more. The other chicken leg is yours too!!"
At this time, Shoutian Village.
Yun was in the room, holding a purse in her hand and crying. She found this on the floor inside the window of the room on the day the incident happened in Gu's family. There were two taels and two hundred coins in it. Looking at the embroidery on the purse, she knew it belonged to her daughter Xiaohua.
She didn't understand at the time how to give her the silver, so she had to secretly throw it through the window onto the ground. It was not until she found out that the mother and son of the Gu family were chopped to death, and it was actually Xiaohua who chopped them. Gu Yun was saved, but Wang died from excessive blood loss.
She knew that Xiaohua would never come back in this life.
This silly daughter, she just ran away, why did you leave the silver for her? How could she run away without any silver on her?
Chen Jun stood at the door of the room, looking at Yun who was crying again, and his heart was also very painful. Ever since his son passed away, Yun had not mentioned divorce. Although the couple lived under the same roof these days, they lived their own lives.
"Mrs. Yun, let's make peace with each other! Let's live a good life from now on! At least don't let our daughter who is on the run worry about us. Before she ran away, she came here secretly to give us silver. She must want us two old people to be well." Chen Jun went over and patted Mrs. Yun on the back, then handed her a handkerchief.
Yun: "Woo woo! Now the soldiers are searching for her everywhere. Where do you think she can hide? If she is caught, she will be beheaded. My son will be gone. She is my only child!"
"It's all my fault. If we had taken good care of her and prevented her from contacting Gu Yun, would everything have been fine?"
Chen Jun heard this and tears welled up in his eyes. He hugged Yun and comforted her, "Don't think too much. The government hasn't found her yet, which proves that Xiaohua must have found a place to hide. After a while, if the government can't catch her, the wanted order will be withdrawn."
"At that time, as long as she doesn't let anyone recognize her, she can live in anonymity in a village deep in the mountains for the rest of her life."

Xu Zhiyi saw that the dog master who had taken two days off had returned to the shop, and immediately handed him his wages: "Hey, only your regular salary has not been paid."
The Dog Master took the half tael of silver with a smile and said happily: "Boss, this is the first time I earn money by my own ability. It feels really different. I find that I don't even want to spend the money I earn!"
Xu Zhiyi: "You mean you are willing to spend the money you earned from the people's hard-earned money by force?"
Hearing this, Master Quan shook his head wildly: "No, no, no, I have retired now, boss, please don't mention the past! Now, I only rely on my own hands to earn money!"
After saying that, fearing that Xu Zhiyi would beat him again, he quickly ran to the backyard kitchen: "Boss, I'm going to the kitchen to help!!"
Xu Zhiyi thought that he had run away, and thought about going to the county town with Aunt Luo to check on the shops today. After returning to the house, he asked Yunfu to drive the mule cart to Yanyi Pavilion. After picking up Luo Jinqiu, he went to the county town.
After two hours, we arrived at the county town and went directly to the dental clinic. The dental dealer took us to see five shops, each on a different street.
Luo Jinqiu saw that they had now reached the fifth and final shop, so he pulled Xu Zhiyi aside to discuss ideas: "Zhiyi, which location do you think is good?"
Xu Zhiyi: "I think this fifth store is good. Although the location is not as good as the second and third stores, this store is big and suitable for us to display all the clothing styles."
Seeing that Xu Zhiyi thought the same as him, Luo Jinqiu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I think so too, and there are also compartments that can be used to receive distinguished guests."
"Okay, let's decide on this one!"
Afterwards, he signed a contract for the shop with the brokerage firm. Because the location was not the best, the price of the shop was cheaper than other shops with good locations. After Xu Zhiyi's bargaining, he finally bought the shop for 700 taels of silver.
The shop is only one floor, but it is quite spacious, with a small compartment and a small backyard. There is also a utility room and a small kitchen in the backyard.
Afterwards, Xu Zhiyi and Luo Jinqiu went shopping, hoping to learn more about the prices in the county town.
Luo Jinqiu suddenly stopped while strolling happily. Xu Zhiyi pulled her curiously: "Aunt Luo?"
Seeing that she didn't respond, I followed her gaze and saw a man and a woman standing opposite me, also looking over here.
Lou Qin looked at Luo Jinqiu and saw that she was wearing a lavender dress, a style he had never seen before, which suited her very well. This was the first time he saw her dressed to his liking since she gave birth to their daughter.
Qingqing: "Huh, it looks like she's doing well! Master, it looks like she's remarried, otherwise, how could she, a woman with a daughter and no one to rely on, look so good?"
Luo Jinqiu didn't expect to meet this unfaithful man here, but he knew that he had no ability to take revenge now, and Zhiyi was still here, it would be bad if he implicated her!
"Zhiyi, let's go into the shop in front and take a look!"
Xu Zhiyi heard this and nodded: "Okay"
Lou Qin was a little angry when he saw Luo Jinqiu meeting him but pretended not to see him.
Qingqing: "Master, we still have to keep the appointment. It will be disadvantageous for us if we are late!"
"Let's go!"
