It's dark at night and you can't see the way forward.

A carriage galloped on the official road, and now it was changed to Zijin to drive the car.

In the carriage, Jinyan added a soft pillow behind Liu Yunxiang. Seeing that her face became worse and worse, she couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Girl, do you want Zijin to stop the car and let you slow down for a while?"

Liu Yunxiang's belly was tight and she felt nauseous. In addition, the car was bumpy, which made her feel even more uncomfortable. But she shook her head after hearing this, "No, let Zijin hurry up."

Aunt Yan sat aside, chanting Buddhist scriptures with her eyes closed. It seemed that the four elements were empty, and nothing in the world had to do with her.

When dawn is approaching, the carriage will stop in front of a ancestral hall hidden among the layers of woods in the mountains.

In this situation, even if she really wants to go north to find someone, she has to give birth to her child first before she can rush forward. Once she disappears, many people will definitely look for her, the palace, the east factory, and the court, so she has to

Hide it first.

The more important reason why she left with Aunt Yan was that she was out of control of these people, and her life and death were not controlled by anyone.

The ancestral hall that Aunt Zhang pointed to them, the Zhang family's ancestral hall, is sparsely populated in the mountains and forests, and she can send some things up every now and then, and when she is about to give birth, there will be midwives in their village.

Liu Yunxiang was helped out of the carriage with Jinyan, and looked at the ancestral hall in front of him, saying it was the ancestral hall, which looked more like two thatched huts.

"Girl, you're waiting outside, I'll go inside and clean it up." Jin Yan said.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a bang inside.

The master and servant looked at each other, and Zijin entered with his sword. He walked around and nodded to Jinyan.

"Maybe it's a mouse or something."

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but get goosebumps, "Then you clean it up."

Jinyan smiled, "Yes, I understand."

This ancestral hall is not very dirty or messy. It should be that the Zhang family occasionally goes up the mountain to worship and clean. There are many spiritual signs on the open room at the entrance. There is a room to the west and there is a kang inside. Aunt Zhang said it was for the descendants of the Zhang family who went up the mountain to hunt.

Used overnight.

She handed over the grain shop business to Zhang Qi. Many young and middle-aged people in the village followed him and stopped hunting and everyone's life was getting better and better.

Zi Jin went to find dry firewood, Jinyan burned the kang, cleaned the two houses inside and outside, spread the bedding on the kang, and waited until the kang was warm and the fireworks dissipated, so Liu Yunxiang came in.

There is a shed outside the ancestral hall for cooking.

I haven't come for a long time, and I don't know if there are any other things to cook inside. Jinyan didn't have any hope, but when I went inside, I found that there were actually them, and they were still very...clean.

Could it be that some people have come to the ancestral hall to cook in the past two days?

Jinyan didn't think much about it, and took a bag of rice from the carriage to start cooking.

The lunch was simple, a plate of vegetables, a plate of pastrami, and rice.

The western room is warm and the dining table is there, which is convenient for Liu Yunxiang to eat with them. Although it is worn out, eating here is much more comfortable than eating at home. After all, there are not so many eyeliners outside staring at their words and actions.

Several people were eating when they suddenly heard a sound, like a child's cry, but they couldn't hear it again.

"Is it... a mouse?" Jinyan raised her eyebrows.

As soon as she finished speaking, she cried again, first sharply, and then turned into a whimper, as if she was crying hard and was covered by her mouth.

Zi Jin hurriedly got up and headed towards the place where the sound came. It was an east wall with a coarse gray cloth hanging. Zi Jin used his sword to open it, and there was a secret door behind it.

Zi Jin looked back at Liu Yunxiang, then knocked it with the hilt of the sword.

There was no movement inside and no crying.

Liu Yunxiang coughed dryly and said to Zijin: "Maybe I heard it wrong, come back."

Zi Jin responded, then turned around and walked back, took a few steps, stopped, and continued to stare at the secret door.

After a while, the door slowly opened, and a woman held a child and ran out. Zijin jumped up and blocked the door.

The woman was panicked and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Please be pitiful to all kind-hearted people. I am wandering away with my children. It's cold and I really have nowhere to stay. I've stayed in your ancestral hall for a few days."

The child in the woman's arms was only seven or eight months old, and she was crying in her arms, as if she was very hungry.

The woman's hair was scattered and blocked her face, but when she heard her voice, she could still hear a little familiarity. Liu Yunxiang looked at Jinyan, and Jinyan also noticed it and got up and walked towards the woman.

When I walked up to me, I tilted my head and looked at it, and couldn't help but say, "Auntie Li!"

The woman was shocked and subconsciously wanted to escape, but Zi Jin blocked her.

"Auntie Li, it's us." Jinyan said helplessly.

Aunt Li killed Xie Zixuan, and their girl felt sorry for Brother Dong and asked her to escape quickly with her children. In fact, the Marquis did not report to the official position. It was too ugly to spread the news, and the Marquis' Mansion was then deposed as the title was removed from the title.

, I was in trouble, so I only had my home guard chase after me for a few days, and it would be fine if I didn't find anyone.

But obviously Aunt Li was afraid of being caught and fled and hid, and her life was really hard.

Aunt Li looked up and saw Jinyan, and was stunned for a moment. Then she turned to look to the west room. When she saw Liu Yunxiang, she suddenly felt relieved and then collapsed to the ground.

There is a very narrow dark room behind the secret door, where there is no sunshine and it is damp and cold. Li Niang lays a layer of hay on the ground, which is where she and her son live.

Jinyan went in and took a look. It was really not a place for people to live.

At this time, Li Niang was sitting at the dining table with her child in her arms. She tried her best to stuff her food into her mouth. Did she feed her son a bite? The mother and son were both hungry.

After using the meal, Jinyan told Aunt Li about the fact that the Marquis's Mansion had not reported the official position. Aunt Li was happy first, then cried again, holding her son and crying very sadly.

"I was confused at the time, why did I kill him?"

"I regret it, I really regret it."

"If he was still there, my son and I wouldn't have been like this."

It is indeed not easy for a woman to take care of her children, but it is a bit sad to put her hope on a scumbag. Of course, she does not sympathize with Li Niang's misery, but she just sees that Dong Ge is already seven or eight months old.

But I am so thin that I still cough, so I am afraid I will not be able to raise it.

She also wants to be a mother, which looks really uncomfortable.

"Why don't you go back to your hometown?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

Li Niang wiped her tears, "The journey is long, and I am penniless again..."

Liu Yunxiang glanced at Brother Kang again, sighed, and said to Jinyan: "Give her some money."

"Girl!" Jinyan didn't want to.

Liu Yunxiang stroked his stomach, "It's a blessing for this child."

Jinyan turned around, took out a silver note from her pocket, and gave it to Li Niang with a dark face.

"How did you treat my girl before, and how did my girl treat you now? If you have a conscience, go to the temple and pray for my girl and the little master."

Li Niang took the silver note and knelt down for Liu Yunxiang with her child in her arms.

As he said something grateful, Yu Guang glanced at the soft little jackets piled up on the kang, which had several of them.

Her brother Kang'er's jacket was torn, and his hands and feet were cold, so cold that he cried, especially at night, when he cried all night.
