Su Xiaoxiao looked at the ice and snow on the ground and wondered, if she were Wei Ting, where would she hide her belongings in a critical moment?
"There are official roads on the north and south ends, a small forest on the east, and a field of crops across a ditch on the west. We can't bury the property in the field... If we just plow the field or dig up a few vegetables, the property will be exposed."
"The forest is about thirty steps away. Dahu and the others are in the carriage, so he can't go too far..."
"ditch!"
The ditches are blocked in winter, making it a great place to hide things!
Of course, this is just Su Xiaoxiao's initial guess, and whether it is correct or not still needs to be verified through practice.
"It's time to verify the conjecture!"
Su Xiaoxiao came to the edge of the ditch, picked a spot at random, rolled up her sleeves and started digging.
To be honest, Wei Ting's bandage was a bit ugly, but it was very thick, and it didn't hurt at all when he grabbed the shovel!
Su Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground with her chubby body, digging and digging! As she dug, she looked back from time to time to see if Wei Ting had caught up with her.
Looks just like a sneaky little fat squirrel!
"No."
She frowned.
Keep digging! When she dug the third pit, she suddenly felt a terrible murderous aura coming.
"Who is it?"
A man's stern voice came from behind.
It wasn't Wei Ting's voice.
Stay calm and don't panic.
Su Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground and turned her head calmly.
Eh? Aren't these the two men in black riding their horses on the official road just now?
Su Xiaoxiao pretended not to be impressed and asked, "Who are you?"
The other party was also surprised.
Isn't this the chubby country girl from before? Why is she here?
Su Xiaoxiao took the initiative and said seriously: "I am asking you a question! You look unfamiliar, you don't look like people from the nearby village! Who are you!"
The two exchanged glances.
The square-faced guard who had just noticed Wei Ting looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "We are just passing by. What are you, a girl, doing squatting on the roadside in the snow?"
"What do you care about me?" Su Xiaoxiao said fiercely.
Sometimes, the more confident a person is, the less likely he is to be suspected.
She stood up, brushed off the snow on the shovel, and said with a depressed look, "I hate you so much! You scared away all the prey! I won't dig anymore!"
The square-faced guard asked suspiciously, "What prey is buried in the snow?"
Su Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "I am digging earthworms! I am going to use them as bait to catch pheasants in the woods! You guys are making so much noise! You guys may kill all the pheasants!"
They both: “…”
Who is noisier?
The companion whispered, "She looks like a nearby villager. Should we ask her?"
The square-faced man pondered for a moment and rejected the idea: "Forget it, don't alert the enemy."
Su Xiaoxiao took the shovel and left.
The two had already dispelled their doubts about her, but at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Su Xiaoxiao's personal purse leaked, and a shiny black token fell into the snow with a plop.
The scene was quiet!
Su Xiaoxiao bent down her fat waist, picked up the token and stuffed it into her arms! The two guards' hands were empty!
A murderous look instantly appeared in the eyes of the two men! The square-faced man said coldly, "Hand over that thing just now!"
Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be confused even though she knew the answer: "What is that? I don't understand!"
The square-faced man pulled out a piece of the sword from his waist and threatened, "Girl! Don't be ungrateful! Hand it over, or I'll kill you!"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "In broad daylight, you are burning, killing and looting. Do you have any respect for the law? I warn you, if I shout, the whole village will be able to hear it--"
The square-faced man pressed her acupoints.
Su Xiaoxiao: “……!!”
The companion asked, "Why me?"
They just saw the little village girl put the thing into her arms.
They are grown men and it is not convenient for them to touch a woman's breasts.
"What happened?"
At this moment, a young man in a black cloak with silver edges walked over with a cold expression.
Su Xiaoxiao took a closer look.
Jing Yi?
Jing Yi also saw Su Xiaoxiao and his handsome brows frowned.
Two black-clad guards bowed respectfully to him: "Young Marquis!"
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened.
The square-faced man reported: "Young Marquis, there is a suspicious person here——"
Before he finished saying the word "人", Jing Yi raised his hand and untied the acupuncture points for Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao was finally able to speak and move. She said incredulously, "Jing Yi, are you the Marquis?"
This time, it was the two guards' turn to be dumbfounded.
Did the little village girl just call their young master by his name?! The young master knows her?!
Jing Yi frowned. Although he didn't want to reveal his identity, his subordinates had already revealed it, so he couldn't lie and say that he was not that person.
"What's going on?" he asked Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly complained: "They two robbed me!"
"No!"
"It's him!"
The square-faced man and his companion spoke at the same time.
The square-faced man looked at his companion with a dark face, "Are you so anxious to betray me?" The companion coughed lightly and said, "I didn't do anything."
The square-faced man came to Jing Yi and whispered a few words.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't hear what he said, but she could guess that he was mentioning the token to Jing Yi.
Jing Yi raised his hand.
The square-faced man took three steps back.
Jing Yi looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Miss Su, please take out the things you just brought and show them to me."
Su Xiaoxiao reached out and took out a wife cake wrapped in oil paper from her bosom: "Here, give it to me!"
The square-faced man said, "That's clearly not it!"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "This is all I have!"
The square-faced man frowned: "You are talking nonsense!"
Su Xiaoxiao straightened her back and said, "If you don't believe me, come and search!"
Jing Yi had a complicated expression: "Miss Su, I'm sorry."
Really! She was Mr. Xiang's savior after all, and she had also taken over Jing Yi's arm, but all of this was not worth a token.
What on earth is that token! "Jing Yi, I'm a woman!" Su Xiaoxiao said seriously.
"Is Hongluan here?" Jing Yi asked the two of them.
"Here." The square-faced man put his index finger and thumb into his mouth and whistled to the sky.
Not long after, a woman in red came walking on the snow, leaped into the air, knelt on one knee in front of Jing Yi, and saluted, "Hongluan greets the young marquis!"
Su Xiaoxiao’s first reaction: How handsome.
Second reaction: It’s over, Barbie Q, I can’t avoid the body search.
The token cannot be hidden, Wei Ting... will most likely be exposed!
"Miss Su, please come this way!" Hongluan took Su Xiaoxiao into the small woods in the east.
