Chapter 15 Selling Myself to Bury My Father



Fortunately, the fisherman had moored his boat ashore and was outside eating melon and chatting with other fishermen.

There were a lot of fishing boats blocking the way ahead, so their position behind was relatively hidden.

Although Mulansheng's legs and feet were inconvenient, he still had a lot of internal strength in his body. He used his arms to support his upper body and used the force to climb onto the grass on the shore.

Yun Miao also climbed up. Relying on the belief of surviving in dangerous situations, she dragged Mulansheng to a far place, away from the river bank where the fishing boat was.

However, thinking that the officials would soon know of their existence with the portraits, Yun Miao did not dare to stop for a moment.

Fortunately, Yun Miao found a cart with firewood piled up in a corner on the side of the road. She cleaned it up for a while before taking Mulansheng up.

"Don't worry, we've survived this great disaster, and we'll surely have good fortune in the future." Yun Miao was so busy that she was sweating, and then she gritted her teeth and started to pull the cart. Fortunately, there was a rope on the cart, so she hung the rope on her back and used her arms to pull it, which saved a lot of effort.

Mulansheng looked at Yun Miao's hands, which were red from being strangled, and there were scratches on them from moving the firewood just now.

He pursed his lips, but his heart was in turmoil.

I have never hated my own powerlessness more than now, like a waste.

After taking just two steps, Yun Miao noticed a group of officials appearing in front of him, and then they immediately retreated into the shadows in the corner.

Until those people left.

Yun Miao suddenly came up with a brilliant idea, then looked at Mu Lansheng excitedly and said, "I have a way to get out of the city."

Then, Mulansheng watched her take out a bunch of miscellaneous things from the bag tied to her body and smear them on his face.

Mulansheng also let her do it without any doubts.

Just because of this time, he believed in her unconditionally.

Of course, he still underestimated Yun Miao's occasional abnormal behavior. A moment later, a mat that had been found from nowhere was covering him. The mat covered his head, and he had a vague sense of foreboding.

As expected, the next second, a deafening cry came from above: "Dad! You died so tragically!"

"How is Miao'er going to live if you leave her alone like this?"

Mulansheng: "..."

At the city gate.

The inspection is stricter.

Yun Miao was a little nervous, but when it was her turn, her expression instantly returned to the numbness of a walking corpse. Then she said in a daze, "My father's body has just cooled, and I want to take him to be buried outside the city. The dead are the most important, so I hope you will be flexible."

Looking at the hay pinned on the girl's head, one could probably understand that this daughter of a poor family had come to the city to sell herself to bury her father as a sign of filial piety.

Just as the guards were about to make concessions, a leader nearby suddenly came over and said, "Wait!"

He took a look at Yun Miao's height and attire, then his gaze shifted to the cart.

"I heard that the fugitives this time are also a man and a woman." The leader looked at the cart, and the bottom of the cart was covered with dust and wood chips.

Yun Miao was nervous and just when she was about to speak...

"Sister..." Suddenly, Chang Fang appeared out of nowhere. He ran over and grabbed Yun Miao's clothes and said, "Sister, I finally found you. Don't do anything stupid. I will find a way to pay for Daddy's burial."

Seeing the rectangle, Yun Miao was naturally extremely surprised.

I don't know why he is here at this time, and he is carrying a bag on his back.

But there was no time to think deeply at the moment, so he could only pretend to be indifferent and turned his back and said, "Brother, go back. Don't worry about Daddy's affairs."

"No! I am also a member of the family, how can you abandon me?" Changfang looked stubborn.

"Are you siblings?" the leader raised his eyebrows.

Yun Miao said coldly: "No."

Chang Fang was angry: “Yes!”

The two of them cooperated like a quarrelsome brother and sister.

The leader nodded and slowly walked towards the cart: "How did your father die?"

"My father went to the mountains to pick herbs, but he accidentally fell off a cliff and died." After Yun Miao finished speaking, she couldn't help but shed tears again.

Mulansheng on the cart had restrained all his aura. It was easy for someone with profound internal strength to pretend to be dead.

But when I heard Yun Miaoqing cursing me with deep emotion, I couldn't help but think of the pride in her heart.

Indeed, Yun Miao's acting skills have soared. The more sadly she cries on the surface, the happier she is in her heart.

"Oh?" The leading yamen runner unexpectedly unfolded the mat, and his expression changed immediately.

"Ugh!" He rushed to the side and vomited.

The person on the cart was so disfigured that his facial features were almost invisible. His skin and flesh were peeling off, uneven and covered in scarlet flesh.

Chang Fang almost lost control of his facial expression. He immediately turned his head away, pretending to be very sad and wiping his eyes with his hands. Oh my god, how did he do that? Is he really disfigured?

The leader had already waved his hand: "Hurry up and go!"

Then, the three of them left the city gate.

Outside the city gate, the three of them stopped only when they reached a safe location.

Yun Miao immediately looked at Chang Fang and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you go back to the clinic?"

"Master was killed by that group of people." Chang Fang, having just calmed down, burst into tears again. He burst into tears. "Master has no children, no wife, and only a younger brother who lives far away in the neighboring town of Dongwu. Chang Fang plans to inform Master's younger brother within two days, and then return to take care of Master's funeral properly."

So as soon as I walked out of the city gate, I saw the scene just now.
