There are not many villagers in the village, and all of them are very hardworking.
Men are out hunting during the day, and women cook at home, take care of their children, wash and dry fur and herbs.
After Su Ying dressed herself up as a village woman, she played with furs and herbs in Grandma Chen's yard just like other women in the village.
Su Ying was working decently, and not long after, a group of guards in hard attire appeared on the mountain. There were more than a dozen of them, and each of them looked very dignified.
After the guards went up the mountain, they searched from house to house, questioning everyone carefully: "How many families are there in this village?"
"Has anyone else passed by recently?"
"Think about it again, she is a young and beautiful girl."
Su Ying originally thought that these people would just leave after questioning casually, but she didn't expect to search so carefully.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she asked Uncle Zhong to hide all the luggage and the carriage before, otherwise she didn't know what trouble would happen.
The villagers here are kind and simple, they sympathize with Su Ying's experience, and they all cast aside that "heartbreaker", so naturally they will not tell about her living here.
So no matter how the guards questioned them, all of them said in unison: "Our place is remote and the mountain roads are rugged, why would anyone come?"
The guards walked towards Grandma Chen's house again. Su Ying bent over, lowered her head slightly, concentrating on handling the herbs, as if she didn't care about everything around her.
"Hey! Come here!" The guards moved from far to near.
"Guards, what orders do you have?" Grandma rushed up to greet her.
The leading guard didn't look at her, but just stared at Su Ying.
Su Ying felt that sharp gaze falling on her body, and her breathing was slightly stagnant.
Su Ying continued to move her hands, her whole person looked very relaxed and natural.
At this moment, the guard walked towards Su Ying.
Su Ying's face froze, the man walked towards her step by step, every step seemed to be stepping on her body.
Countless thoughts suddenly appeared in Su Ying's mind, could it be that he has recognized herself
The guards stood still in front of Su Ying. Su Ying's whole body was full of vigilance, and her fingers curled up slightly.
A trace of panic flashed across the face of the grandmother not far away.
"What are you holding in your hand?"
Su Ying looked down at the unknown herbal medicine in her hand, and didn't know how to answer, but Grandma Chen had already walked over quickly: "This herbal medicine is the holy medicine for leg injuries, even if you don't have leg injuries, soaking your feet every day can relieve fatigue. The official is away all day, do you need to take some back?"
Thinking of the stern face of the prince, the guard waved his hand: "Next time."
The guard asked casually, "I don't know if there are other outsiders coming from the village recently?"
Su Ying shook her hands and said in a rough voice, "No, our village is too remote, and no outsiders have come here for a long time."
The guard hummed, and led someone into the house to search: "Where is your village chief?"
Su Ying pointed not far away and said, "It's right there, the third house."
Before Su Ying finished speaking, the guard led a small group of people towards the village chief's house.
They must have asked nothing from the village chief, and they came out quickly.
Su Ying originally thought that the guards would leave immediately, but unexpectedly they searched the mountain rigorously again.
At this moment, there was rain falling from the sky.
The spring rain has been falling non-stop recently. Finally, the weather is good to dry the herbs for a while, but it is raining again.
Su Ying hurriedly helped to move these herbs into the cover.
Seeing this, Grandma Chen hurriedly whispered: "Miss Su, you are weak now and cannot get in the rain, go in quickly."
"It's okay." Su Ying smiled at her, "It's already confinement."
"Oh, it's not good, your face!" Grandma Chen yelled nervously, the rain fell and washed her face, half of the yellow paint on her face was washed off, leaving patches on her face.
Su Ying subconsciously covered her face with her hands: "Hey, I'll go in right away..."
At this moment, the guard just now came towards Su Ying again: "Ma'am, wait a minute, can you take us to a nearby village, we can't see our way clearly in this rainy day."
Su Ying's body froze in place, and the corners of her lips twitched speechlessly.
The more the rain got bigger, Su Ying could feel that the paint on her face was slowly being washed away.
Su Ying is in a dilemma right now, if she walks away, it will definitely arouse suspicion, if she turns her head, it will be even worse!
She complained in her heart, is God joking with her
At this moment, Niuniu poked her head out from the room, pouted her mouth, stomped her feet, and said in a sharp voice, "Mom, I'm going to starve to death!"
Su Ying hurriedly responded: "Hey..."
"Hurry up, I'm so hungry!" Niu Niu was like an ignorant child, stomping her feet angrily, with a cry in her voice.
"I'll come right away, I'll come right away" Su Ying rushed inside in a panic, and Grandma Chen said helplessly to the officers and soldiers, "This child is really ignorant, why not..."
A neighbor's aunt shouted: "Guys, are you going to the next village? I'll take you there... That village has to go up the mountain again. It's raining, so it's easy to get lost..."
After Su Ying ran home, she exhaled softly, hugged Niu Niu and kissed her on the face: "Niu Niu, thank you!"
Niu Niu flashed a pair of big black eyes, with a shy smile on her lips.
She looked at the door for a while, then ran back and said, "Sister, they are all gone!"
When Su Ying heard that they were walking away, she felt something was wrong again.
Now that Ye Feibai has found this place, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not continue to search for a second time. Now that he is out of confinement, it is not good to stay here any longer, he should run away early.
When Grandma Chen saw the group of guards walking away, she also hurried into the house. She patted Niu Niu's head: "It's so dangerous, fortunately, Niu Niu is smart."
"Yeah, thanks to Niuniu." Su Ying thought of the scene just now, and felt a chill down her spine.
Su Ying quickly said: "Grandma, we've been bothering you here for so many days, it's time to leave..."
"But... your body." During this time, Grandma Chen and Su Ying lived together day and night, and she was very sad when she heard that Su Ying was leaving.
With a look of reluctance on her face, Niuniu tightly grasped Su Ying's hand and wouldn't let go.
"Grandma, that man is so powerful, if I get caught, I'm afraid I'll be hopeless for the rest of my life." Su Ying stretched out her hand and rubbed Niuniu's head, "If sister is free, she must come and see Niuniu, okay? "
Niu Niu slowly let go of her little hand.
Grandma Chen originally wanted to ask Su Ying to come down, but when she thought of her husband who doted on his concubine and killed his wife, she couldn't say anything else.
The best choice now is indeed to let her leave immediately.
Grandma Chen turned around and wiped away her tears. She quickly prepared some dry food and handed it to Su Ying, her eyes were also moist: "Young lady, this journey must be safe."
