It had already darkened over the small villa, and a nest of birds had already flown back into the titmouse's nest. The little titmouse sent out by Li Lijun sat on the branch next to the nest, dazed for a long time, and then just returned.

After regaining consciousness, he flapped his wings and flew to the opposite mountain cliff, flying around the small villa.

Young Mrs. Yang and her mother-in-law were in the upper room of the main courtyard. The old man in the concierge looked annoyed and walked around the room, as if he was worried about something. After a while, he put the corner of the room against the wall.

He took the standing broom to the door and said to himself: "I'll get up early tomorrow and go sweep the mountain! I can't let the nobleman throw it down anymore!"

Li Lijun looked at the picture in the small target mirror, frowned, and controlled the little tit to fly to the stone steps up and down the mountain. She found that the gravel scattered earlier was much less, and it seemed that it had been swept away.

Okay, we only cleaned about a dozen steps, but the pebbles, branches and fallen leaves on other sections of the road are still there.

Li Lijun recalled what happened when she set off from Zhuju and went down the mountain today. She clearly took a look at the small target scope before setting off to make sure that nothing happened on Xiao Yang's side. Less than two hours had passed before the person fell? Even

Someone has swept the stone steps and mountain trails? What kind of luck is this!

The little tit flew to the mountain walls on both sides of the stone path, and was about to use its beak to peck a few pieces of gravel to fill it, when it saw the old woman appearing in the gatehouse, and quickly flew over again, stopping under the eaves opposite the gatehouse.

The mother-in-law was comforting the old man: "My wife is fine, you don't have to be afraid. She just fell a little. If she hadn't deliberately pushed us away and wanted to secretly go down the mountain, she wouldn't have stepped on a stone and fallen like this."

I fell down. Even if Rokuro knows, he also knows who is the culprit and will not blame us."

The old man sighed: "Sister, what does your noble family want to do? Does she really want to sneak down the mountain and escape? Not to mention whether she knows the road, it is already dark now, she went down the mountain, look

Do you know the direction? Do you have the strength to go on the road? Isn't she afraid of encountering a big insect and eating her in one bite?! She has a good life in the mountains, so why is she confused? Please give her more advice."

The mother-in-law nodded: "I will advise her. Don't worry, brother. Although our wife is a little willful, she is always afraid of death. If I tell her the risks of going down the mountain, she will not dare to mess around again."

The old man said: "Get up early tomorrow and I will sweep the road down the mountain to save you from falling again."

But the mother-in-law said: "That's not necessary. Now that she is crutched, she can't go down the mountain. We are not short of food. We don't need to go down for three to five days, and the mountain path is useless. You have time,

It's better to patrol the house twice more and keep a close eye on the door so that the lady doesn't find any loopholes again."

The old man responded, and the old woman turned around and returned to the courtyard. Li Lijun controlled the little tit to fly under the eaves of the main room ahead of her. She happened to see little Yang standing on tiptoes and looking by the door. When she saw the old lady entering the courtyard, she flew back.

Is there any sign of injury anywhere on the bed?

Li Lijun stared at the silver hairpin with large gold crystals on Little Yang's head and the white cloak lying casually on the bed, and she suddenly realized. This woman was not that stupid. Although she intended to escape down the mountain while it was dark, she still couldn't.

She did not forget to bring the self-defense clothing and accessories that Li Wenqi bought for her. These were things collected by Master Zhuji. With them, even if little Yang was traveling alone in the mountains and forests, she would not be afraid of any wolves, tigers or leopards.

Bandits and robbers, she is expected to escape safely.

From this point of view, it is not out of the blue for the little Yang family to want to escape secretly and go to Zhuangzi, the palace of the Sui Dynasty at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, to find her biological children. It is rare for her to be so close to her two children. If she waits until the third generation of the Sui Dynasty

After she returned to Chang'an, or she was taken to some isolated village by Li Wenqi, it would be difficult for her to escape.

When the mother-in-law entered the house, she didn't realize that little Yang's foot injury was fake, and she started to think about it. She reminded little Yang how steep the road down the mountain was, and how dangerous the deep mountains and old forests at the bottom of the mountain were.

What kind of wild beasts, insects, and snakes, any random number can kill the little Yang family, a pampered woman in the inner house. What's more, few people in the nearby mountain villages go out to the mountains, and the roads are not easy to walk. Dozens of miles of mountain roads can be long.

It's not a joke. Little Yang has lived in a comfortable life for many years, and she has never suffered much even during the escape. How can she survive? If she gets lost in the mountains, she will probably starve to death halfway.

Little Yang listened silently, pretending to touch her injured feet with both hands. After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she said softly: "I didn't plan to run away, I just went out for a walk to see the scenery. I know the steps wherever I go."

Are there any pebbles on the stairs? Don't blame me. If you don't have the time, you might as well ask the old man to sweep the stone steps away so that you don't fall down when you go down the mountain. We will leave in two days.

You go and make dry food out of the food stored in the kitchen, and you can take it with you on the way, and you won't be wasted when you get to the village."

This was a fair statement. The mother-in-law agreed without hesitation.

Then Xiao Yang added: "We went to the village, and I don't know if we can go outside to inquire about the news. I will write a letter in a while, and you can ask the old man at the concierge to deliver it, or even hire someone to run errands in a nearby town."

Okay, try to find a way to deliver it to Yan Niang, and at least let her know that her mother is not dead, and she still misses them, so that she can take good care of her brother, and one day the family can be reunited."

The mother-in-law suddenly became vigilant: "What are you saying, madam? If this letter is really delivered to the third lady, won't the palace know that you are not dead?!"

Little Yang didn't take it seriously: "I wrote in your name, saying that it was an old servant who was thinking about his old master. It should be vague. Even if an outsider reads the letter, they won't know the truth. Yanniang knows my handwriting, and she knows it well.

of."

The mother-in-law hesitated: "No one in the nearby villages dares to go out easily. If the old man wants to find a place to hire people, he must at least go to the town. If he goes there for two days, he may not be able to come back. Madam, won't you?

You want to take this opportunity to take him away, and if you fool me again, you can take the opportunity to escape, right?"

Little Yang said angrily: "Look how badly my feet are hurt! I can't even get out of the yard, how can I escape?! Aren't I thinking about my children?! I can't get out, but Yan Niang always

She can go out. I reminded her in the letter to take care of my mother, so that my mother can have a better time in the nunnery. Anyway, I will definitely wait until the old man comes back to his life before leaving. I don't believe it, Liu Lang can't even wait this little time.

"

When the mother-in-law heard that the letter was good for her old master, she no longer objected: "In that case, let me write the letter." After that, she turned to the kitchen to make dry food.

Little Yang looked over at her walking away, then spat and said triumphantly: "You are so cunning and cunning, haven't you been coaxed by me? When Liu Lang comes back and you can't see me, what will you do?

!”

Li Lijun put down the small target scope and couldn't help but sneered.

It doesn't matter, Xiao Yang's stupidity only made things easier for her.

She picked up the small target scope again, controlled the little tit to return to the stone path, and carefully carved out many small and round gravels. She also collected many small branches that were easy to roll, and large pieces of withered yellow leaves, all temporarily

It was placed in an inconspicuous corner. Now she would not do anything with the stone steps and mountain path. She would wait until the old man came down the mountain and then rearrange it. Not only would the stones and branches have to be placed, but also dead leaves would be used to cover them up and call the people who came down the mountain.

You can't see what's hidden under the dead leaves.

As long as little Yang dared to sneak down the mountain, at a height of several hundred meters, he would always step into a trap. Even if Li Wenqi investigated a hundred times afterwards, he would not be able to discover that there was a human factor involved.

Even if someone sweeps this mountain trail clean a hundred times, Li Lijun can set up a new trap for her a hundred times. She wants to make the whole thing look like an accident, or an accident that Xiao Yang wants to die on her own.

Some are patient, see who can outlast whom!
