Chapter 424 Trapped in the Mountains

Xing Lun and Song Jin did not go south.

There was a high probability that assassins would be waiting for them in the direction of Huizhou. So Xing Lun led the three of them to the west and south. Perhaps it was God's blessing that they actually found a family living in the mountains before the sun set.

A small village with only a dozen households.

Most of them make a living by hunting, and only a few have cultivated farmland.

Xing Lun had observed from outside and saw that there were children and old people in the village, so he asked Song Jin to wait in the woods with the children while he went to investigate the situation. After confirming that there was no problem in the village, Xing Lun also agreed to stay with a family before going to pick them up.

"Niuniu, call me daddy in front of others, remember?" Xing Lun picked up Niuniu and reminded her softly.

Niu Niu nodded seriously.

In the past, when they stayed in an inn, they would disguise themselves as a family and travel together.

Song Jin, who was standing nearby, naturally heard it.

Xing Lun smiled and said frankly, "I told the villagers that we were a family visiting relatives. We were just unlucky and ran into robbers. Our bags were robbed and we lost our way when we fled into the mountains. We were lucky to find a village and need to stay for a few days."

Song Jin now looks haggard.

Xing Lun originally wanted Song Jin to pretend, but now it seems that there is no need to pretend. He just pointed at his face again and said, "Boss, what else do you need to wipe your cheeks with to cover up your appearance?"

The luggage was lost during the escape.

I can’t put on makeup and disguise myself like I used to.

Song Jin glanced at Niuniu's little cheek.

She reached out her hand and touched the mud on the ground, then rubbed it on her face a few times. No matter how beautiful a woman was, she would not look good if her face was covered with mud. Moreover, she was not wearing gorgeous clothes, but just an ordinary woman's dress.

The farm family that Xing Lun spoke to.

Because this family has old people and children, the old people look kind, the children are lively, the woman is neither fat nor thin, her clothes are patched but clean. Generally, such families are hardworking and kind. He has been traveling for many years, so he is good at judging people.

Just as Xing Lun thought.

This family was indeed very nice. They listened to Xing Lun's arrangement and squeezed out an empty house for them.

Wait for Song Jin and the child to enter the house.

Xing Lun went out for a while.

When he came back, he was carrying a large bag filled with clothes for adults and children. The clothes had been worn by others, but they were clean and smelled like they had been dried in the sun. Then Xing Lun asked the woman in the house to boil a large pot of hot water and brought it to the house.

Xing Lun checked the room carefully.

I stayed outside the door until I found no problems.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

"Brother, it's time to eat." An old farm lady came out of the kitchen and asked.

Xing Lun smiled and said, "The children's mother is bathing the two children. The children are very naughty and refuse to cooperate. I'm afraid they will be in trouble. Auntie's family can eat first, and leave some for us."

"That's fine. I'll save some food for you."

"Thank you very much, Auntie. You are so kind." Xing Lun looked like an honest man and chatted happily with the Auntie.

Going to the north, everyone has seen it.

Xing Lun could even talk about the mountains.

Song Jin wiped herself and changed into a clean linen dress. Naturally, she heard the conversation between Xing Lun and the aunt outside. She guessed that they were probably having dinner. Niuniu was lying on the bed after taking a bath, her little head dozing off. The youngest son was playing with his little feet.

Song Jin simply tied her hair, walked to the door and opened it from the inside.

Xing Lun, who was guarding outside the door, knew it immediately.

Song Jin's face was washed clean.

Even so, he still looked haggard and slightly pale.

Xing Lun asked worriedly, "You don't look well. Do you want me to ask someone in town to find a doctor to come and see you?"

"No need. I'm probably tired. I just need to rest for a while." Song Jin didn't want to cause any trouble.

Xing Lun added, "I'll go to the kitchen and bring the food. You and the child can eat and go to bed early."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Song Jin thanked him sincerely.

Xing Lun went into the house and took out the dirty water.

To be honest, seeing Xing Lun carrying the bath water out, Song Jin felt a little complicated. When a person's life is about to be lost, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

After having dinner in the house.

Niu Niu went to bed and fell asleep.

Song Jin lay on her side to coax her son to sleep, but the little guy didn't fall asleep and she fell asleep first.

I didn't sleep a wink for a whole day and night.

People are really tired.

When the little guy was about to cry, Xing Lun picked him up and took him outside the yard to comfort him. In any case, he didn't want the child to disturb Song Jin's rest.

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

Wait until the child is asleep before putting him back in the house.

The night passed peacefully.

Xing Lun did not stay in the house.

After everyone had fallen asleep, he came out of the room, left the door ajar, sat alone on the threshold, leaned against the door frame, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

We have to stay in the same room in front of others.

When there were no outsiders around, Xing Lun would try to avoid them as much as possible, to prevent the news from getting out and damaging Song Jin's reputation.

The next morning, Song Jin woke up.

There was no one in the house, not even the two children. When I stepped out of the house, I saw Xing Lun in the yard, holding the little guy in one hand and feeding him rice porridge.

Niuniu was sitting on a small stool, eating from a small bowl, looking very well behaved. There were two other children sitting next to her, also eating.

When Song Jin came out, Xing Lun noticed her and smiled gently, "Madam, are you awake? Madam left some food for you in the kitchen. I'll get it for you later."

"Oh, is this your wife? She is so pretty. I have never seen such a pretty young wife in my life."

The old woman was feeding chickens in the yard. She first talked to Xing Lun, and then teased Song Jin in the local dialect, "Young lady, you married well. Your husband loves his wife very much. I have been married for decades, and I have never seen my husband help me take care of the baby."

Song Jin couldn't understand the local dialect.

I can only pretend to be shy and laugh it off.

Xing Lun responded to the old woman's words.

Made the old man giggle.

Then, the old woman pushed the old man who was weaving a backpack nearby, and the old man smiled naively.

Song Jin went over and took the little guy.

Xing Lun whispered, "I'm sorry, Boss."

"It's okay, I just thank you for your hard work." Song Jin didn't know if she and her child could escape this disaster, so she didn't mind it. Instead, she implicated Xing Lun this time. "Alun, you should escape first if necessary."

"Don't mention this again."

Xing Lun said with a serious face, "I will never abandon you."

Even if I die, I won't! After saying this, Xing Lun asked Song Jin to continue feeding the little guy rice porridge, and he went to the kitchen to get food for Song Jin.

While Song Jin was eating, Xing Lun told her what he had found out.

The village is very remote in the mountains.

The mountain road is winding and you can only walk on foot. You can't get out without a familiar guide. And it's very troublesome to go to town. Usually you go today and come back tomorrow, which means it takes two days to go back and forth.
