Chapter 395: The Fiancé Ran Away with the Most Beautiful Girl in the World (20)
"Just don't behave like a girl tomorrow. Act like a cheerful and generous man. Otherwise, don't blame me if you get caught," Shu Shichu reminded her.
Bai Xiu Xiu's face turned serious and she nodded, "I understand. I will practice the man's walking posture now!" As she spoke, she corrected her posture and steps.
Shu Shichu began to change the appearance of the old man Bai. Since his daughter had become a man, he would become an old woman! Shu Shichu asked the old man Bai for his opinion, and he readily agreed to her proposal. After all, changing gender would make it easier to confuse people, so why would he be unwilling?
It is much easier to disguise an old man into an old woman than to disguise a young girl into a young boy. After all, young men and women have smooth faces and their expressions and features can be seen clearly, but old people have wrinkles on their faces. Many old men look like old women when they get old, and some old women look like old men. These are very common. Therefore, it is much easier for Shu Shichu to disguise the old white man into Mrs. Bai.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the white old man turned into an old woman with gray hair, old face, wrinkles all over her face, and her hair was tied up into a woman's hairstyle. Now even if he stood next to his own wanted portrait, no one could recognize that he was the person in the wanted portrait.
Bai Xiuxiu looked at her father who had changed into a different person, and her mouth opened wide in surprise. Then she was pleasantly surprised: "Dad, you look like this now, I can hardly recognize you, let alone a government official!"
Although the old white man felt a little uncomfortable after changing his gender, he was also very happy and thanked Shu Shichu again and again.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Changing your appearance doesn't mean you are safe. Your personal behavior is the easiest part. You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the behavior of your new identities, as well as issues such as voice and address. Don't fall for these small details and ruin your efforts." Shu Shichu reminded them.
"The lady is right!" Bai Xiuxiu already regarded Shu Shichu as the person she admired the most, and even addressed him with respect. She hurriedly promised, "I will definitely work hard to master the words and deeds of my new identity and make sure I don't reveal my identity!"
"Then you guys practice. I'm going to sleep. I can't sleep tonight because of all the noise you guys make!" Shu Shichu muttered, and then went to the inner room yawning.
Bai Xiu Xiu and Old Man Bai were left feeling guilty, after all, they were the ones who disturbed Shu Shichu's sleep.
Although she slept very late, Shu Shichu still got up on time. She changed her clothes and went out. The old man and his daughter were sleeping on the table. Shu Shichu woke them up: "Get up and get ready. We should leave after breakfast."
Bai Xiuxiu and Old Man Bai woke up at once. They were still alert when they first woke up, but when they saw Shu Shichu, they recovered their memories of last night and breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Xiuxiu said awkwardly, "We practiced for a long time last night and fell asleep accidentally. We were not lazy."
Shu Shichu said indifferently: "Whether you can successfully deceive the guards at the city gate is of no concern to me. If you are exposed and discovered, I can just escape by myself, and you won't be able to implicate me..."
"That's right, that's right. If we are exposed ourselves, lady, don't worry about us. We won't blame you." Bai Xiu Xiu touched her nose and said.
Shu Shichu packed up his things and led the two of them downstairs. He happened to see Mu Changqing already having breakfast in the lobby, so Shu Shichu walked over.
When Mu Changqing saw that it was her, he asked, "Have you finished packing?"
"We've finished cleaning." Shu Shichu sat in front of him and asked the Bai family father and daughter to sit down. He introduced them to Mu Changqing, "These two people are my distant relatives: Aunt Miao and her son Miao Shitou."
Then he said to the two people: "This is Mu Changqing."
"Mu Changqing?" Bai Xiu Xiu exclaimed in shock, "Is it that Mr. Mu from Langyu?" Her eyes lit up.
Shu Shichu nodded and said to Mu Changqing with a smile: "It seems that your reputation is really great."
Mu Changqing smiled modestly and said, "Thank you for the compliment. It's just an empty title." Then he said to the Bai family father and daughter, "What would you like to eat for breakfast, Aunt Miao and Master Miao? I'll treat you today."
Bai Xiuxiu was already very excited to see the legendary Master Langyu. Now that she heard that he wanted to treat her to a meal, she was surprised and nervous. Her face flushed and she stammered, "I, I can do anything."
Shu Shichu looked at her flushed face and was impressed by his superb disguise skills. Even with such an excited and rich expression, her face looked normal and nothing looked unusual.
The Bai family's father and daughter probably really admired Mu Changqing and talked a lot to him. Shu Shichu ate quietly on the side and did not join in.
Half an hour later, they finally finished their chat. Shu Shichu had already eaten his fill, and after paying the bill, the four of them left the inn.
Because Shu Shichu and Mu Changqing already had horses, in order not to delay their journey, the Bai father and daughter went to buy a shabby second-hand donkey cart.
When they arrived at the city gate, they saw many people queuing up to leave the city, and many government officials were closely checking their identities and passes to leave the city. It was obvious that although the governor had agreed to open the city gate, he still did not give up searching for the wanted criminal, and cleverly focused on those leaving the city, checking them very strictly.
Since the Bai family father and daughter had planned to escape, they had naturally prepared various identification documents and travel permits early on, so there was no need to worry too much.
"Don't panic. The more panicked you are, the easier it is to be exposed." Shu Shichu reminded them in a low voice.
Mu Changqing twitched his ears and glanced at Shu Shichu as if inadvertently, then looked at "Aunt Miao" and "Miao Shitou" again. Although he didn't see anything wrong with them this time, perhaps because he heard Shu Shichu's words, he became suspicious. He always felt that there was something awkward and inconsistent about the two people from the Miao family, but he couldn't find out what was wrong for a while.
...Of course I can’t find it, otherwise wouldn’t Shu Shichu’s reputation as a master of disguise be in vain?
After a night of identity rehearsal, "Aunt Miao" and "Miao Shitou" had already changed their previous words and deeds almost completely, and it was impossible for ordinary people to recognize them. Even though Mu Changqing's eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people, he could not find anything unusual for a while due to Shu Shichu's powerful disguise ability.
Soon it was the turn of the four of them. Shu Shichu handed various certificates to the soldiers for inspection and answered many questions before he passed through the checkpoint and left the city gate.
Then Mu Changqing came out easily. His reputation was still very useful at this time and he passed the test easily.
Finally, it was the Bai family's father and daughter. Shu Shichu was not too worried about them. After all, it was unlikely that they would die at the last moment because they dared to murder the governor's son in the street and had a meticulous escape plan.
