Sisi and Lao Bai turned and ran.
Once they ran away, people were even more convinced that they were the people in the portrait.
Uh... actually, that's true.
The soldiers guarding the city gate also wanted to chase after them. A thousand taels! They couldn't earn a thousand taels even if they guarded the city gates their whole lives! "Boss?"
I want to go too.
However, the city gates could not be left undefended.
What if these two people ran up to the notice just to distract them?
"You, you, you, you, you, you five go after them! You five are fast runners. The rest of you guard the city gate. If you catch them, the reward will be split equally. Hurry up!"
"yes."
After they left, the foreman sent someone to inform the county magistrate.
In the blink of an eye, a large group of people followed behind Sisi and Lao Bai.
People chased and shouted:
"You can't escape!"
"You'd better just stop!"
"Stop them! Stop them! They're wanted criminals!"
...
Their shouts made Sisi and Lao Bai's situation even more difficult. Not only did they have to run faster than the people behind them, but they also had to dodge the people in front of them.
Sisi thought the two of them should go to the temple to pray.
The two were running happily when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.
The county magistrate sent men on horseback to chase after the two of them.
Sisi and Lao Bai immediately stopped playing. How embarrassing would it be if they got caught?
Old Bai grabbed Sisi and scurried up a nearby tree.
Before the people chasing them and those trying to stop them could react, Lao Bai and Sisi had already run away by stepping on the trees next to them.
Those who chased them and those who tried to stop them were incredibly frustrated! A thousand taels of silver?! Just like that, it's gone!
On the other side, Sisi and Lao Bai were also very frustrated.
Sisi said while adjusting her hat, "You can't tell the truth anymore."
Old Bai also felt that he couldn't tell the truth anymore, or he would be arrested. "From now on, we'll take Old Hei's surname."
"Okay. My name is Hei Qingyang, and it can be used by both boys and girls."
"My name is Hei Shengxuan." Old Hei called him Hei Xuan.
"Old Black will beat you up."
"Let them hit me then, it's not like we haven't hit them before."
"Yeah, let's go find a place to change our clothes."
"good."
Sisi found a place to change into girls' clothes, and Lao Bai put on the fake face that Lao Hei had made for him.
Three days later, Sisi and Lao Bai rode their horses, accompanied by a group of guards, to a small mountain village.
The villagers in the small mountain village were both curious and afraid.
Sisi jumped off her horse, walked up to an old man, and asked with a smile, "Grandpa, is this Shenjia Village?"
"Yes, yes, you...you came here...you are..."
"Grandpa, don't be nervous. Grandpa, is there a man in your village named Shen Tengwen?"
The old man immediately replied, "No."
Sisi had already found out. "Grandpa, I'm not here to cause trouble for Uncle Shen Tengwen. I'm here to have a drink with Uncle Shen. If you don't believe me, go ask him. Tell him my surname is Yun, and my great-grandfather was the Minister of Rites in the previous dynasty."
The old man relaxed a bit when Sisi told him that her great-grandfather had also served as an official in the previous dynasty. "I'm old and can't remember the names of the children in the village. I'll go ask the village chief for you. Who did you say you were looking for?"
“Uncle Shen Tengwen, my surname is Yun.”
What article?
"Teng".
"Oh. I'll go ask for you. You can rest here for a while."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."
Shen Tengwen was teaching the village children to write when the old man who had been talking to Sisi rushed in. "Sanwazi, Sanwazi, a group of people have come to the village entrance. There's a little girl in the group. She says her surname is Yun, and that her great-grandfather was the Minister of Rites in the previous dynasty. She says she's here to have a drink with you. Do you know her?"
“I know her.” Shen Tengwen immediately thought of Sisi. Sisi had left a deep impression on him. (Chapters 41 and 42)
The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the man knew her. "That's good, that's good. I was worried that she would be like those other guys. I'll go and bring her over."
"I'll go with you. I really like that girl. Does she seem to be doing well?"
“Good. That little girl not only rode a tall horse, but also led a group of servants. Those servants looked very strong. Oh, and they were riding horses too.”
"That's good." Shen Tengwen assigned some homework to the children in the room and then followed the old man out.
As the old man led Shen Tengwen toward the village entrance, he said, “Sanwazi, both your great-grandfather and that little girl’s great-grandfather were officials from the previous dynasty. How come she rides a tall horse while you get bullied every day?”
"There aren't even daily days anymore."
"What do you mean no? If it weren't for the fact that everyone in our village has the surname Shen, and that they all remember your kindness and protect you, you would have been bullied to death long ago."
"I'm sorry to have troubled everyone."
"I don't really care about worrying, but how come they live such a good life? How come they're so powerful?"
Shen Tengwen smiled. "Perhaps they had some extraordinary encounter?"
Are you on good terms with them?
"I've only met him once."
The old man was disappointed. "You've only met him once? I was thinking that if you were on good terms with him, you could ask him to help you."
"I'm doing pretty well now." I teach and farm.
"What's so good about it?"
Shen Tengwen smiled. "Second Grandfather, Shuanzi can recite the Three Character Classic now." Shuanzi was the old man's great-grandson.
"That would be great."
...
Before we knew it, we had arrived at the village entrance.
Upon arriving at the village entrance, Shen Tengwen was stunned.
