I am fish

Chapter 13

Alai came back from the river, and on the way back to Xie's mansion, he saw a large group of people who surrounded the main road of Qi County and shouted angrily around a difficult carriage.

She remembered that Sun Mingyi was about to be escorted to Beijing, so she quickly ran to the second floor of the restaurant, found a corner where she could overlook the whole street and looked down.The streets were full of people. People were holding a prison car. Sun Mingyi, who had messy hair and was wearing a prison uniform, was sitting in the car. He couldn't see his expression, only the back of his head that was calm.The carriage was surrounded by strong soldiers guarding it. The soldiers kept driving away the excited civilians with spears in their hands, and opened a way for the carriage to move forward.

"Is Sun Xianzun going to be escorted to the capital?"

"Yes, it's all because of the crime of refugees entering the city."

A Lai heard someone in the restaurant discussing this matter.

"Sun Xianzun is deeply loved by the people, and his achievements in Qi County in the past few years are obvious to all. You see, he is about to be taken away, and so many people come to see him off. Although everyone is lowly, whoever is good to the people and who is not good , everything is in sight.”

The carriage was about to reach the edge of the city, and Alai continued to catch up.

The crowd was excited, and it was clear that someone took the lead in stirring up emotions.A Lai saw a man with a long beard and dressed as an elegant scholar shouted in the crowd, saying that the Xie family was unjust, and vowed to seek justice for Sun Minggong!A group of thick men around followed suit, and the emotions of the people were stirred up wave after wave.

That long-bearded scholar, A Lai, knew that he was Sun Mingyi's official and had followed him for many years.The other men are all servants in the county government.

A Lai was very puzzled by the behavior of these people. Since he wanted to seek justice, why didn't he report it to the higher authorities?Even if you want to seek revenge in private, you should restrain your emotions and plan in secret, low-key, so that it will be hard to guard against.Wouldn't the enemy and the bystanders listen to the yelling in the street?Is this fairness to be discussed or just casual talk?

Seeing that the carriage was about to leave the city, Sun Mingyi turned around and shouted to the masters:

"I, Sun Mingyi, was born in the country and the people with a clear conscience! Now that I am in trouble, I don't ask you to help me so as not to be implicated by Sun. I just ask everyone to take care of Sun's wife and children because of the old relationship! This is how Sun can be on Huangquan Road. I can leave without worries! Sun Mingyi thanks you all!" After speaking, he kowtowed and kowtowed, and the sound of crying spread throughout the streets and alleys...

After watching the excitement, Alai didn't go home until the evening.

When she climbed over the wall and returned to Xie's mansion, Mrs. Xiao had already woken up, and Mrs. Xiao saw clearly from the window the whole process of climbing over the wall, and felt the murderous look in her mother's eyes while she was still in the air.

An'an landed steadily, and Alai shrank his neck and walked lightly, and pushed the door in fearfully.She didn't feel ashamed and drooping her eyes, instead she yelled sweetly one by one, making Xiao quickly sit on the bed, spread the padded jacket over her body, and picked up her legs to help her put on the knee pads.

"You went out over the wall just to buy these?" Xiaoshi's expression was calm, and he didn't look like he would jump up and hit her on the head in the next second.But Ah Lai knows that Xiao has always been able to hide his emotions. Not being angry now doesn't mean not being angry for a while. The best way is to admit generously that he used light skills to climb over the wall again, and act coquettishly to ask for forgiveness.

"Mum... Ah Lai knows what you are going to say, and said that I shouldn't use martial arts indiscriminately. It's not good if someone sees it. Mr. Xie asked someone to guard the door to prevent me from going out. I went around to the back yard and turned out. Absolutely No one saw it. It took a long time for Alai to choose this jacket. Mom, touch it, it is thick, warm and windproof! My mother suffers from leg problems every winter, and the pain is so painful that I can’t sleep all night. Now Because Alai was injured, Alai couldn't bear to see my mother continue to suffer, even if my mother punished me for this, I would not regret it."

"Oh, so you bought this jacket and knee pads to honor me?" After hearing Alai's affectionate words, Xiao's sharp eyes softened a little, and even brought some warmth.Knowing that his cunning plan had succeeded, Alai couldn't help feeling proud.

Although my grandmother is usually strict, she is a loving mother in her bones. As long as she acts like a baby, she will easily be unable to resist.

"A Lai should be filial to his mother!" A Lai smiled sweetly, sincerely—very good, let's go through it again.

Unexpectedly, Xiao's expression changed, he stood up suddenly, and shouted: "You bought it all?! Where did you get the money!"

Xiaoshi was completely dumbfounded when he questioned Alai.

It turned out that from the very beginning, my mother's focus was not on whether to climb over the wall, but on the source of money for selling jackets and knee pads.Xiao knew that her daughter was active in thinking, and if she asked directly, she might dodge her, so she went around in a circle and let her confess easily.

Alai was stunned by the unexpected question, his eyes flickered "uh" for a long time but he couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Stop making it up." Xiao said, "If you tell the truth, I won't beat you."

"Really not to fight?"

"When did Grandmother ever lie to you? Grandmother is tired from so many things these days and can't impress you."

Alai knew that she kept her promise, and if she said she would fight, she would definitely fight, but if she said she would not fight, then she was really going to let her go.Taking a closer look at Grandma's sallow face, which is full of exhaustion and qi deficiency, it must be that a series of recent events have made her worry.Not to mention worrying her more, Alai told her about exchanging twelve steamed cakes for two silver collars.

After hearing this, Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, she really didn't know whether to say that she was unteachable or that she was very witty.

"You are so similar to me when I was a child. I can't bear the restlessness in my bones. I feel that everything can be done with confidence, and I can do it to the best. I can't see the fool who can't do things, and I just want to prove my extraordinaryness."

Ah Lai knelt in front of her and bowed his head in silence, secretly surprised that what Ah Mu said was indeed what she had hidden deep in her heart.

"But so what about extraordinary..." Xiao's voice became weaker and his eyes straightened. After falling into a short memory, he quickly adjusted his mood, and his eyes fell on the sheepskin gloves placed aside.

"Is this for Ah Xun?"

Alai nodded.

Xiao sighed softly and said, "You child is born in troubled times but is so affectionate, I don't know if it's luck or misfortune."

The two were speechless for a while, both of them were constructing the same idea in their minds.When Ah Lai was about to speak, he heard Xiao said:

"If Aunt wants to take you away from Xie Mansion and Suichuan, would you be willing?"

Alai's eyes lit up, and he nodded immediately, "Of course! I'll tell my mother..." Halfway through her words, she suddenly became alarmed, ran to the window to see that there was no one outside, then turned back and said:

"To tell you the truth, I have the same idea."

She told about the fact that Xie Gong framed Sun Mingyi today: "I went out to inquire today. Although the refugees have begun to be collected and distributed to various places in Suichuan, this is only the beginning of the disaster for the refugees. If the war continues in the country of Xi, I'm afraid there will be more refugees coming. Beard is so fierce and cruel, if there are more riots, it may be difficult for Xie's family to retreat. Moreover, Sun Mingyi's officials are already going to attack Xie's house, not to mention whether these people can What Xie Taixing has done is really chilling. Even if he doesn't fall into the hands of Sun Mingyi's subordinates today, he will surely fall under his own virtue in the future. Alai also has the intention of leaving, and he is about to come back and talk to his mother. "

Xiao asked her: "Leaving Xie's mansion now, would you be willing to let Ah Xun go?"

"I am naturally reluctant. But now that I have nothing and no money, what can I do to repay Ah Xun. Why don't I leave here first and go far away, maybe I can help her in the future."

"Oh? But now Xie Taihang has people guarding the gate, restricting our freedom of entry and exit. You and I are both slaves and the world is in danger everywhere. Do you have a perfect plan to leave Xie's mansion?"

Alai knew that his mother was testing her, so he smiled slyly and said, "Alai has three strategies."

"tell me the story."

"Let's talk about this bad strategy first. As slaves, we can't pass through the gate of Qi County without Xie's family documents, but the river in the city is connected to the Lanzhang River outside the city. We can dive out of the river after we escape from Xie's mansion at night. It's just that it takes too long to swim out of the waterway. If you run out of strength in the water, you may die in the belly of the fish. Moreover, the river is icy cold, and my mother's legs can't catch the cold. This plan is dangerous and has endless consequences.

Seeing his mother nodding, Alai continued to talk about the middle strategy: "The refugees coming into the city is both a crisis and an opportunity. Now Xie Gong wants to use the hands of various families in Suichuan to recruit the refugees, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to mix in with the refugees and leave Qi County. Although You can’t get out of Suichuan, but you have nothing to do with Xie’s family after you become a member of the military. Even if Xie’s family finds us, there’s nothing we can do. Da Yu’s military men go to the front to fight, and we will be assigned to farm in official fields. This is not an appropriate strategy. This is also the reason. Although you can get rid of the Xie family, you are still not free, and the cultivated fields cannot be owned by yourself, so you can only live this life."

Alai not only thinks about the present, but also thinks about life in the future.It seems that she really took it to heart when she said she had shallow eyelids last time.

"Tell me about the best policy."

"The key point of the best policy is to send the annual gift to the Xie family in Dongchun. The Xie family will ask Uncle Dong to send the new year gift to the Dongchun clan at this time of year. If we can hide in the box containing the annual gift, the Xie family will The east and west pass through all the checkpoints without hindrance, so we can easily break through all the checkpoints. On the way, we will definitely pass through Nanpu, and go west for a hundred miles to Mount Budian. It is neither within the sphere of influence of Dongchun Xie’s family nor away from it. Suichuan is thousands of miles away, and no one recognizes us. Besides, Aunt, you once said that this place is warm and humid, unlike Suichuan, which is cold and dry. It is a land rich in products. Maybe Aunt's leg injury will be better. At that time, we will live alone in the mountains, and my mother will grow some food and vegetables, and I can hunt in the mountains. It may be a bit bitter, but we will be free from now on, and we will no longer be driven by others to look at others. This is Ah Come to think of the best strategy."

Xiao was very satisfied with her strategy: "Actually, my mother also thinks the same way."

"Really?" Alai excitedly said, "Uncle Dong is leaving soon! Are we going to make preparations too?"

"I'm ready."

After her mother said so, she found a small package in the bed.

"Uncle Dong's car will leave tomorrow morning. Lai, we are finally leaving here."

Ah Lai's heart surged in an instant at what Grandma's words said!
