4366 Isha's Great Escape
Since this accident, Mu Ling has increased his manpower to guard Yi. Every day, even if he walks in Mu Ling, there must be a team of soldiers following him slowly.
In name, it is to serve the prince, but in fact it is to monitor!
Yi?’s life has not changed much. He still burns incense and kowtow to his father every morning and evening, then reads and takes a walk, and lives his days day by day!
But no one noticed that Yi? from time to time, he would turn his attention to the far-reaching Baoding Prefecture in the south!
It has been ten days since the day of the accident. Has Isha escaped?
Isha had been suffering for ten days. It took him ten days to travel more than a hundred miles of mountain roads. These ten days were sneaking in the mountains and ridges, afraid of meeting soldiers who searched!
The terrain of the entire southern Zhili is the Taihang Mountains to the west and the entire plain extends to the east!
The official road from the capital to Baoding Prefecture actually extends along the edge of the mountain range. Isha tried to tentatively heading towards the plains many times, but every time he found that the entire Zhili official road was several times more strict!
Every time he was scared back, he could only drink spring water in the mountains, catch wild game, and sometimes he went to small villages in the mountains to steal some food.
Just like a struggling dog, I endured hard in the mountains, and I didn’t know the road and could only walk forward in the south!
In just ten days, Isha went from being a handsome young man who could fascinate Cixi to a beggar who was straying from a family, and his hair was scattered on his forehead and his buzz cut grew.
The clothes on his body were ragged and smelly, and the face was rubbed with dust and dirt. He didn't dare to take out the knife, so he directly put the flesh on his back and tied it with a hemp rope, then put it on a jacket, and the scabbard along the way to wear out the skin on his back!
The key is hunger. From the deepest part of his soul, he did not dare to hunt openly on the way to escape. He did not dare to burn prey with fire and could only eat raw!
The most fatal thing is that there is no salt. He basically didn’t eat salt in ten days. His body felt soft. It’s not okay for a person to have no salt. He metabolizes salt when he sweats every day. Without supplementation, he will become less and less powerful!
Isha struggles every day. Being able to live to Baoding is the hope to support him in progress, but the final hope is also shattered on the tenth day!
A big river blocked his way. The river was very wide and long, and it seemed that it was impossible to get around. Isha tried to circumnavigate several times but found no shallows or bridges.
When he turned a river outside, he found an ancient stone tablet, and then he realized that the river was Xushui River!
"It's over... This is the most amazing thing for me!"
There must be officers and soldiers guarding the bridges and ferries, which cannot be crossed. The water flows rapidly and risked swimming across the river, but I had no energy anymore. Originally, Isha was not good at water and could do a little bit of dog digging. He had no choice but to cross such a big river!
Isha had seen the Zhili map. He knew that it would take no more than twenty or thirty miles to see Baoding Mansion after crossing Xushui River, but he was still blocked by such a close distance.
What to do? Isha struggled in the wild for most of the day, but in the end there was nothing he could do, so he had to venture into the village!
Not daring to go to the large villages and towns, Isha walked upstream of the river, just at the junction of the mountains extending to the plains, a small village of twenty or thirty households appeared in front of him in the dense woods!
This is not a densely populated village, but a jagged and staggered hilly village, with many houses and houses not next to each other!
Isha deliberately messed up his hair and made his face dirty, and walked into the village pitifully!
The beggars entered the village, and many of the big yellow dogs in the house were barking. When many people saw that a beggar was coming, they turned their eyes and closed the gate directly!
When the spring is in trouble, who has the excess food to you for the beggar?
Isha felt the coldness of the world. Did he touch the silver dollars and banknotes hidden in his arms, sighed and continued to pretend to be his beggar, walking over one by one!
After walking through seven or eight houses and bypassing several forks, Isha suddenly found a smell of wood coming from the edge of the village. When he looked carefully, he saw several squares of wood piled up outside a small courtyard. This courtyard should be a carpenter's home!
Craftsmen should have a wealthy family and ask them for food. They made up their minds and walked over!
When I arrived at the door and looked into the crack of the door, Isha was shocked. It turned out that there were three or four unprocessed coffins in the courtyard. It turned out that this was a coffin shop!
No matter what coffin you are or not, the people who come out of Isha Gate of Ghost are not afraid of you!
He knocked on the wooden door, but there was no response inside. He still didn't respond when he knocked on it again. He reached out and pushed the wooden door and creaked and opened!
Isha walked into the courtyard and looked carefully, wanting to find something to eat first. After walking around the courtyard for half a circle, a girl flashed out from the back door of the main room!
"Hey... who are you? Why are you rushing into other people's houses? I'm calling someone..." The little girl was about to yell at that time!
Isha knelt down with a thumping heart, "Girl help... Help... I'm begging for food, I'm hungry! Please give me a bite... Woo woo woo..."
He burst into tears with tears in his nose. The little girl was shocked at that time. When did she see such a thing when she grew up?
"You... are you begging for food? Not a bad guy?"
"Girl... I'm a small business. I met bandits on the road. My goods and money were stolen. I've been hungry for several days..."
"Please give me some food, please... be kind!"
When the little girl heard, "Are you from the capital? This accent is from the capital... My father and I went to work in the north, and the people from the capital just talked..."
"Yes, yes... I'm from the capital! I'm in trouble... I'm begging for help from my daughter!"
The little girl is still kind, "Then wait a moment...I'll show you!"
With his big braid, the girl turned her head and entered the wing room, looking at the girl's back Isha swallowed with a gulp!
A few slices of pickles, two cold steamed buns, and a bowl of warm water, really saved Isha's life. He had never eaten such delicious food in his life. The dry steamed buns were swallowing with his throat!
The pickles are even more delicious than the Manchu and Han chew in the palace!
A steamed bun was eaten in a few bites. At this time, the door was pushed open. An old man walked in: "Hmm? Shantao! Who is this person? How can you let strangers enter the house?"
Come on, the girl’s biological father is here!
"Dad... that's the person in trouble, a businessman in the capital. When he met a bandit, he fled to our village... he wanted to have some food!"
"Didn't you always say that we should do good deeds and accumulate virtue? I'll give him some food..."
Shantao ran over and shook his father's arm, sticking out his tongue and saying coquettishly!
Isha quickly kowtowed, "This uncle, I am not a bad person, I am from the capital, I am in trouble!"
Chapter completed!
