She already had an obedient and lovely appearance that the elders would like, but when she smiled, the lady at the tea stall felt dazed, her cheeks flushed red, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up:

"You child is really likable. It would be great if I could have a daughter as lovely as you."

Just as she was talking, the husband of the lady at the tea stall suddenly raised his voice and asked her:

"Matchmaker! Why is the rabbit that I came here to drink today missing?"

The matchmaker complained in a low voice:

"All day long, I know how to drink."

He got up and responded angrily to the outside world:

"coming--"

Then he raised his smiling face again, looked at Lou Rongrong and the other two, and comforted him:

"Don't be afraid, although I'm a bit rough, I'm a heartless man. I was born as a hunter, and I have a lot of effort in my body. You brothers and sisters will rest here for a few days. After two days, your legs will be better. Just ask him to take you brother and sister into the city on an ox cart, and he will surely help you find your lost relatives."

Lou Rongrong nodded and thanked her very sincerely:

"Thank you, Sister Hong."

The matchmaker smiled and patted her head, turned around and left the room. There was a search outside, but it seemed that the rabbit was not found in the end, so the man had to give up and change to other appetizers.

As for the two people in the room, the atmosphere at the moment was quite delicate.

Both of them knew that the rabbit couldn't be found. After all, they were the ones who climbed into the fence first, tied the blood-soaked cloth strips on Lou Rongrong's legs behind the rabbit, and put it on the official road. Let go, so as to mislead the pursuers.

Chen Erhe also never imagined that Lou Rongrong was actually a daughter, he was so grown up that he would blush even talking to a girl, but now he wanted to pretend to be brother and sister with Lou Rongrong, he behaved unnaturally.

Lou Rongrong had no choice but to take the task of communicating with others on himself, and let Chen Erhe pretend to be a cowardly brother who was taciturn and was ordered by his sister at will.

The clothes on both of them were burned so badly that they couldn't see their original color, nor could they see the identity of the original soldier. Lou Rongrong untied his long hair, and the two pretended to be a pair of brothers and sisters who had unfortunately encountered bandits and were separated from their families. , knocked on the door of the lady's house at the tea stall.

The lady at the tea stall was kind-hearted, lent her and her husband the clothes they had when they were young, and gave Lou Rongrong medicine for his injury, and took them in.

Seeing the silence in the room, Chen Erhe still couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice:

"Can we really escape the pursuers like this? We are so close to... as long as they find us..."

Lou Rongrong braided her long hair into two strands with a red rope she found somewhere, and her tone was strangely calm:

"I have a wound on my leg. No matter what, the two of us cannot be faster than the pursuers. By then, our identities will be recognized at a glance, and there is little hope of successfully escaping."

After braiding her hair, she turned her head and looked at Chen Erhe calmly:

"If you are afraid, you can also choose to separate from me and go to Songcheng to report the letter first. It may be safer, but it does not rule out the possibility that the thief will wait on the way to Songcheng. I suggest that if you really want to go, the last Be careful too."

Chen Erhe immediately said anxiously:

"How can this work?! Your leg is so badly injured, how can I escape alone, leaving you alone, in case something happens accidentally..."

Under Lou Rongrong's sight, the boy's voice slowly lowered, and in the end, he turned his head to avoid Lou Rongrong's sight, with little confidence:

"Anyway, it is impossible for me to leave you and escape by myself. Although I am weak and useless... But when that time comes, I will definitely not let you die before me..."

In the army these days, other soldiers also treated Lou Rongrong in the same way, and even secretly told her that if she really encountered the enemy and she was afraid, she could hide and wait for them to beat them away before coming out.

Ever since he escaped from the camp, Lou Rongrong, whose nerves were tense, seldom pulled the corners of his lips slightly, showing a fleeting smile. Thinking of the other soldiers who died in the camp, in an instant, this smile became smiled wryly.

Before she had time to say anything else, she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the house, and the expressions on the faces of both of them immediately became tense. Lou Rongrong had an injury on her leg and was unable to move. Chen Erhe rushed to the door and forgot about it through the crack of the door. .

I saw a group of masked men in black coming to the tea stand, grabbing the passers-by tea customers to check one by one, making the whole tea stand restless, and many customers even wanted to avoid it, but they still couldn't escape the black. The clothes man's interrogation.

Seeing this, the matchmaker thought they were also bandits nearby, and while winking at her husband, she hurriedly brought a bowl of tea and presented it to the leader:

"Hero, let's take a sip of herbal tea to suppress the fire first. I don't know about our small business, but what offended you, hero, and made you go to war like this?"

The leader snorted coldly, and did not take her teacup:

"Who is interested in your broken tea stall? I am here to find people. Have you seen wounded soldiers passing by and heading towards Song City?"

Wounded pawns?

The matchmaker's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously thought of the injured brother and sister in the room, but then realized that Lou Rongrong, as a woman, obviously couldn't be a soldier.

So he smiled and said:

"Aren't you embarrassing me? My tea stand is set up on the side of the road, and there are many tea customers coming and going. It's too late for me to greet the guests. If I say I haven't seen it, I will inevitably miss it. Your lord There are a lot of them, why don't you also ask the staff and customers nearby, maybe they just happened to see them?"

She said this with a lot of leeway, not directly saying that there must be no such person passing by, but also expressing that she has never seen it, so as to prevent the other party from finding out that the news is wrong and implicating herself.

The man in black glanced at her, then turned to question other guests and staff.

However, after asking around, they all said that they had never seen any injured soldiers, and the man in black was helpless, and was about to lead the crowd away, when he saw medicine frying on the stove not far away, he paused, and suddenly asked:

"Is someone in your family sick?"

The matchmaker froze, subconsciously hesitated for a moment, and wanted to say that she was unwell, but when the words came to her lips, she abruptly changed the subject and replied with a smile:

"Oh, you said this medicine, this medicine is not for us to drink, it is pitiful to say it, today a brother and sister came to ask for help, saying that they were robbed by mountain bandits, and finally escaped by chance, but my sister was still injured, This medicine is for the little girl to heal her injuries."

Injuried?

The man in black suddenly became vigilant:

"Where are the siblings?"

The matchmaker said in astonishment:

"Hero, this is..."

The man in black drew his sword out of its sheath without hesitation, laid it across her neck, and repeated it in a cold voice:

"Take me to meet the siblings."
