usurped

After a while, the commoner youth suddenly frowned, as if thinking of something, and suddenly said, "Do you think that person just now looks very similar to the person on the notice?"

"Notice? What notice?"

"Oh, it's the notice that we posted there when we passed by the gate of the city. It also said that if you see this person and inform the government, you will be rewarded with 1000 taels of silver!"

"Oh, what are you talking about!" Upon hearing Yinzi, the fat man's eyes lit up immediately, and he patted his forehead immediately, "After you said that, I also think that little brother is somewhat similar to the portrait on the notice. Hey, tell me, are they the same person?"

"You ask me, I ask who to go!"

"Well—we have to think about it carefully. That's 1000 taels of silver. If we don't work for the rest of our lives, it will be enough to support our family!"

The two of them thought about it, and then glanced into the woods. One of them's eyes brightened instantly, as if he had an idea.

When Bao Rong came back to the yard restlessly, he saw Xiao Yujue was basking in the sun with Chu Xi.Chu Xi was half lying on a recliner made of rattan, while Xiao Yujue stood beside him, holding a fan in his hand to drive him away from the heat.

"Why are you still standing at the door, come in quickly, I prepared a bowl of sour plum soup, it's cold now, go drink it!"

"Ah──oh──" Baorong came back to his senses, pretended to be excited, pushed open the gate with a jump, ran towards the house in a hurry, and put the bamboo basket on his arm. On one side, he picked up the crimson sour plum soup on the table, but when it was delivered to his mouth, his hands stopped.

Should I tell Brother Yujue what I heard just now?Xiao Yan became the emperor and changed his country name. He should look handsome and majestic in the yellow robe!I don't know if he is looking for me now, or if he has given up.

"What are you thinking, look, the soup has been spilled all over!"

Bao Rong was so frightened by the sudden sound that his hands trembled, and some sour plum juice was splashed out.

"I, I'll drink it now!" After he finished speaking, he drank all the liquid in the bowl with a guilty grunt, and ran out in a hurry after finishing drinking, "I'm going to chop wood!"

"Wait—" Baorong was stopped by Xiao Yujue before he stepped out of the threshold.

Baorong's heart jumped!for a moment.Did Brother Yujue discover something?If he wants to ask me why I was in a daze just now, how should I answer?A series of questions poured down from the top of his head immediately, making his mind confused.

"Don't be so anxious, come back, sit down and rest for a while, I'll just chop the firewood!" Xiao Yujue said out loud.

(0.34 fresh coins) The calm before the storm

Baorong was secretly happy in his heart, muttering to himself that luckily his brother didn't notice his abnormality.He sat on the chair, Xiao Yujue raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the cuff of his shirt, "Look at your face, it's as dry as carbon, in the future, no girl will dare to marry you .”

The gleam of joy in his heart was soon completely extinguished by these words, Baorong lowered his head and said nothing, looking at the two small bronze paws in a daze.

Xiao Yujue moved his hand to his shoulder, and patted him twice, "Okay, you go back to the back room to pack your things first, and after dinner, we will go on our way when the sun goes down!"

"Hurry, hurry?" Hearing these two words, Bao Rong suddenly raised his head and stared at the man opposite him in surprise.

"This is not a place to live for a long time. Counting the days, we have lived here for a year. It's time to change places."

"Then, where are we going?" Bao Rong asked timidly, his eyes full of eagerness and anxiety.

"I don't know either, let's call it wherever I go!" Xiao Yujue's gentle voice contained a trace of desolation,

"The world is so big, there is always room for us, well, don't talk about it, you go back and pack some clothes first, I bought a carriage, and I parked it not far away, after dinner, we will immediately Let's go."

"Are you really in such a hurry that you're leaving tonight?" Bao Rong hesitated for a moment, and finally asked this question.

"Why, is there a problem? Or, you don't want to leave here?"

Bao Rong hesitated for a moment, shook his head violently from side to side, and jumped off the chair at the same time, making a seemingly bright smile, "Then I'll go and pack up first—" After finishing speaking, he ran away Into the back room.

Xiao Yujue stood where she was, with no expression on her handsome face, but a deep sense of melancholy and helplessness.In the past year, he has lost a lot of weight. Under the ravages of reality, his originally strong body seems to no longer be as vigorous and heroic as before.

Soon, the setting sun disappeared on the side of the mountain. After a hasty dinner, they got into the carriage and headed for the deep forest without even washing the dishes.

The crunching sound of the wheels rolling over the crisp fallen leaves, mixed with the rustling sound of the leaves growing on the branches being blown by the wind, makes people feel only two words - loneliness.

Xiao Yujue was sitting at the front of the car, holding a short black whip in his hand, leaning his back on the edge of the car, and would lash the horse's buttocks from time to time.

Sitting in the compartment, Bao Rong looked at Xiao Chuxi who was already asleep next to him, stretched out his hand and pulled up the thin quilt covering him a little bit, then hugged the bundle tightly in his arms, and sat in the compartment. In the corner, silently started to daze.

"Rong'er, are you asleep?" Xiao Yujue asked from outside the carriage.

"Ah──" Bao Rong was startled, and immediately replied: "No, not yet!"

"If you feel cold, put on some more clothes, don't freeze!"

"Oh──" Bao Rong shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, then put the burden aside, walked to the car curtain and opened one side.

"Brother Yujue, where have we been?"

"Should be out of the woods soon!"

"Oh──" Bao Rong nodded, and began to observe Xiao Yujue's face. Through the moonlight, he saw the face that had been frozen into a pale red, and his heart felt cold immediately, so he asked, "Brother Yujue , are you cold, let me get you some clothes!"

Xiao Yujue just turned his head slightly, and met Bao Rong's penetrating eyes.He slowly made a soft smile, and said: "I'm not cold, but you, hurry up and put down the curtain, get back in the car and sit quietly for me, be careful—"

Before he could finish his sentence, those eyes that were originally dyed with warmth were instantly frozen, so cold that it was chilling.

Bao Rong also noticed this subtle change, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, did something happen?"

Xiao Yujue jerked the rein in his hand, only to see that the steed didn't make a long neighing sound, but stopped quietly like a human being.

Because all this was so sudden, Bao Rong didn't pay attention and almost fell out of the carriage. Fortunately, Xiao Yujue helped him by the arm in time to avoid a dangerous situation.

"Baorong, listen carefully──" Xiao Yujue cast his eyes deep into the forest, looked at it for a while, then immediately turned back, and said seriously: "Now, you and Chu Xi got off the car here and saw the pair of bushes in front of you. Is it?" He said, pointing to the waist-high grass ten steps away to the right, "for a while, you and Chu Xi will hide there, no matter what happens, don't come out, do you understand? "

Listening to his serious and even murderous tone, Baorong felt uneasy and his heart beat faster.

"Why? Where are you going? Why did you leave brother Chu Xi and me here?"

Xiao Yujue looked at Baorong's nervous and suffocating expression, and a soft smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He lightly scratched the bridge of Baorong's nose, "Don't worry, Brother Yujue just suddenly remembered that something was left behind." In the previous house, now you have to go back to get it, don't think about it!"

"Then, let's go back together, why do you want us to stay here?"

"Okay, be obedient, be good, do as I say now, Chu Xi is asleep now!" Xiao Yujue peeked into the carriage, and continued to give orders, "Go and wake him up now, and immediately get off."

Although Xiao Yujue was smiling, Bao Rong felt that that smile was a bit uglier than crying.He knew that brother Yujue must have something to hide, so he didn't continue to ask, he turned around and got back into the car, ready to wake Xiao Chuxi who was sleeping soundly.

(0.48 coins) to stand up

The vast night, the sad mountain wind, a little bleak, but also a little sad.

Baorong supported Xiao Chuxi to hide in the grass, looked up at the black sky dotted with silver stars, his heart couldn't help but rose to his throat again.

But at this moment, two male voices flowed into Baorong's ears from far to near.

"It's really fucking unlucky tonight. I was sleeping soundly, but I was forced to be dragged into this kind of wood where birds don't lay eggs—" He said, and took out a yellow notice from his pocket to vent his anger. I looked at it impatiently with the torch next to it, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it into a distance, "Just because I caught someone, I made a fuss, and when I catch him, I'll see if I don't take care of him." Smoked!"

"Ai──" The short man next to him holding the torch sighed, and persuaded him, "I said Big Beard, save yourself some effort, do you know who is trying to arrest that person?"

"Hmph, I don't care who wants to arrest him, as long as he disturbs my sleep, he will be damned!" The middle-aged man called the bearded man spit on the ground and cursed loudly.

"You don't want to live anymore?" The little man was so frightened by his words that he almost jumped up, turned his head and stared at him, "speak softly
