Text Chapter 13 Escape

Miao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I only picked two plants."

Yan Beihong couldn't help but be in awe. When he broke up with Miao Yi inside, he thought that Miao Yi was impure and was being petty towards him, so he didn't bother to leave. Now he realized that he was a villain. I am so fond of you that it would be difficult for me to be like Miao Yi, who gave up all the opportunities I had worked hard to give to my younger siblings who are not related by blood.

He couldn't help but raised his hand and patted Miao Yi on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you have nothing to say. Brother, I'm sorry for you!"

Miao Yi shook his head and said: "Brother Yan, why are you saying this? I just want to ask Brother Yan, if you have a way to escape from the officers and soldiers, is there any way to help me escape?"

Yan Beihong chuckled and grabbed his arm, "I'll take care of this. Let's go and find a place to eat and drink first."

Miao Yi immediately grabbed him and reminded, "Someone is watching me."

"A few little bastards are afraid of birds!" Yan Beihong dragged him up and left. "First eat and drink enough to refresh yourself. My brother will see you off tonight!"

The two found a temporary noodle shop and ordered several kilograms of beef and two bowls of noodles. They burped after eating.

When leaving, Yan Beihong packed a lot of food, then found an empty house with no one, removed the door panels and spread the floor, lay down and fell asleep.

When night came, in order to get rid of the stalker, Yan Beihong and Miao Yi quickly jumped over the wall, not taking the right path, and quickly lost the stalker.

When he reached the foot of a darker city wall, Yan Beihong observed the patrol pattern on top of the city. He had experience as a military attache commander.

After knowing what he had in mind, he seized the opportunity and threw a simple flying claw that he had prepared in advance onto the top of the city. He grabbed the rope with one hand, kicked off the wall, and led Miao Yi quickly up to the top of the high city, and then from the other side of the city wall. Slide down quickly.

The two of them ran all the way in the dark and stopped in the forest seven or eight miles away.

Under the moonlight in the sky, Yan Beihong pushed the food package he had prepared before into Miao Yi's arms.

"Brother Yan, what are you doing?" Miao Yi asked in confusion while holding the package.

"Brother, it's easy to run away, but it will be difficult for you to go home in the future. Anyway, you have nothing to worry about now. It doesn't matter if you don't go back to that home. If you go back, you will definitely fall into the hands of that Huang Baochang. It's hard to leave your homeland. I didn't before I say this because I am afraid that you will feel uncomfortable if I say it. These are food for you to take with you on the road. Let’s go as far as possible.”

Yan Beihong returned his hand and pointed in the opposite direction along the mountain, "The flying claws on the top of the city have left clues after all. Just in case, go in the opposite direction. That's all I can do. I can't control whether it's a misfortune or a blessing, it just depends on your luck."

"Thank you, Brother Yan, but I still have something to ask for!"

"Tell me, as long as I can help."

"My sister is in the fairy gate you want to enter today. Her name is Lu Xuexin. She is still young. If the elder brother can take care of her in the future, I hope that the elder brother Yan will take care of her."

"Lu Xuexin..." Yan Beihong muttered a few words silently, nodded heavily and said, "I'll note it down. We'll say goodbye today, and I hope we'll have another chance to see you again in the future. I won't do any childish gestures, and I can't delay my own affairs. I’ll go back first, take care of yourself.”

He was not a mother-in-law. He said everything he needed to say and did what he needed to do. He patted Miao Yi on the shoulder, turned around and walked away without hesitation.

Watching Yan Beihong's figure disappear into the night, Miao Yi looked up at the ancient city with a complicated expression.

When he first ventured into the world of mortals, he had already prepared for the worst, but he didn't expect that when he came back by chance, he would become a loner, and from then on he would have to leave his hometown and live alone in the world.

After turning around and finding the direction of his home, Miao Yi knelt down on the spot and choked with sobs: "Aunt Lu, Aunt Zhang, and the second and third children have become immortals. They no longer have to suffer with me in the future. Your spirits in heaven will bless them."

After speaking, he bowed his head to the ground and kowtowed.

The dark green bead hanging around his neck flashed a faint light, and the 'scholar' who was playing the piano in the world of mortals appeared quietly behind him, still as magnificent as ever, quietly looking at Miao who was bowing his head. Yi.

After kowtowing, Miao Yi raised his hand to wipe his tears, stood up, took out the butcher knife from his waist, held it in his hand, found the direction, and left quickly according to Yan Beihong's instructions.

The 'scholar' looked up at the bright moon and quietly disappeared under the moonlight...

From dark to dawn, Miao Yi, who walked through the mountains all night, didn't know how far he had run. After running out of the mountain facing the rising sun and being blocked by a big river, he roughly guessed how far he had run when he saw the river.

He himself was very tired, so he knelt down by the river and washed his face with water, sobering up. He turned back and sat on a big rock on the river beach, took out the dry food Yan Beihong had prepared for him, took a few bites, took out the sheepskin water bottle on his waist, pulled out the stopper and filled it with a few mouthfuls.

While eating, I was thinking about how to cross the river and where I would go from now on, when I saw a small boat floating down the river. It might be more appropriate to call it a bamboo raft.

On the bamboo raft, a man in white, wrapped in a light blue simple cloak, floated all the way holding on to the bamboo pole.

The river is turbulent, the newly built bamboo raft is green, and the 'scholar' standing on the bamboo raft is facing the morning glow and morning breeze, with his clothes fluttering, which is very pleasing to the eye and otherworldly.

"..." Miao Yi, who was biting the dry food, opened his mouth and was stunned, why is it him? Isn't this the guy with mysophobia in "The Red Dust"?

"Old Bai, Old Bai!" Miao Yi jumped up and waved, shouting, "Here, here, do you still recognize me?"

The scholar looked over when he heard the voice, smiled slightly, propped up the bamboo pole to bring the bamboo raft to the shore, stopped it steadily, looked at the embarrassed Miao Yi and smiled: "It's you, little brother, we meet again. In the wilderness, I wonder where you are going, little brother?"

Miao Yi asked: "Where are you going?"

The scholar looked at the river flowing eastward and smiled gently: "A small boat, going downstream, traveling and enjoying the mountains and rivers, there is no fixed place, wherever you go, go with the flow."

This mentality, this demeanor, really makes people angry. Miao Yi found that this person always looked calm and indifferent, even in the dangerous place, he looked unhurried, and his body was always clean and simple.

Miao Yi rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly and said: "It seems that we are going the same way, I wonder..."

The implication is very obvious, I don't know if I can take your boat.

The scholar nodded in understanding, "It's great to have a companion. If you don't mind my bamboo raft being so simple, why not board it and travel with me?"

"Not so simple, not so simple. This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful bamboo raft." Miao Yi jumped on it happily.

He didn't say anything flattering. This bamboo raft was indeed very delicate, with a bamboo mat dome in the middle to protect it from the sun and rain.

The scholar pushed the bamboo pole on the shore, and the bamboo raft carrying the two of them floated into the river and went downstream again.
