The man folded his arms and looked at her coolly.
The expression in his eyes was colder than the moonlight shining above his head.
Qian Yi's momentum couldn't be stretched, her little shoulders slowly retracted, and she moved back to the man, "I will really help you, but before I help you, you have to help me..."
Seeing the man's eyes narrowed, Qian Yi quickly added, "Are we friends! Help each other!"
Xue Qinglian turned around and left.
He hates being threatened most in his life.
He had mouths and feet, and he didn't believe that he could still die in Xiliang and couldn't find a way back.
Following the sound of footsteps catching up, the woman went to pull his hand, "Really, I didn't lie to you, the only way out is really the one in our stockade, I sneaked out there before!"
Xue Qinglian shook her hand away, gave her a cold look, and didn't stop.
That glance made Qian Yi feel cold, and finally gritted his teeth and chased him up again. This time he hugged the man's arm and didn't let go, "Don't go, if you get out of the checkpoint, you will really be thrown into prison and killed. , I have an order from the emperor, if any suspicious black households are found, they will be punished!"
"I never allow other countries to visit, nor do I have diplomatic relations with other countries. The border checkpoints are especially strict with the emperor's decree. Don't make fun of your life because you are angry with me! The big deal is that I don't want your help, I will help you escape It's not going to go out!"
Speaking of the last, the woman has already cried.
She dropped his hand and was dragged by him for more than ten meters, but she refused to let it go.
"I didn't mean to lie to you, I just didn't tell you in advance that I wanted you to help. Why are you so angry? If you don't help, you won't help. I will think of other ways..."
It's awkward, and it's sobbing, as if it's been wronged by the heavens.
"What can I do for you?" Xue Qinglian asked when rubbing her eyebrows.
The woman raised her head in surprise. Under the moonlit night, her eyes were shiny and hydrated, like a puppy that was discarded and picked up by the owner, "Will you help me?"
"Stand up and talk." A headache.
A woman who always uses her hands and feet to wrap her around a person, like an octopus, is there something wrong
Don't know how to avoid suspicion
"It's okay, I'm not tired, I can say this too!" Qianyi's eyes lit up, and there is a door!
Xue Qinglian sneered, "I'm tired."
He hangs a heavy object of dozens of kilograms, even if he has strength, he will not pull it, he is lazy.
After landing on her feet, Qian Yi stood firmly and did not forget to help the man carefully smooth the folds of the sleeves and trousers. "It's easy for me to help. You don't need to do anything. You just need to be a guardian for a period of time."
"protector?"
"Let's talk while walking," Qianyi started to say the reason after pulling the man into the village. "Every April, the emperor selects girls of school age from our village to enter the palace. When they are old and have no guardians, they can't escape. Lose."
"What is the guardian?" Xue Qinglian raised her eyebrows.
"It's the marriage partner of the women in our village." Qianyi explained immediately after speaking, "Don't worry, I know you have a sweetheart, and letting you be my guardian is just an expedient measure. Once this wave is selected, I will help. If you leave, I will definitely not defile you, let alone make you a guilty man!"
"..." Xue Qinglian twitched her mouth, and finally chose not to explain.
He couldn't talk to the second guy.
"It's March now, and when the election of the emperor in April is over, it will only take a month at most, and it won't delay you too long."
"You didn't mean that the emperor Xiliang had an order, but all black households were to be punished? I am a black household, why would you dare to take me to the stockade?" Xue Qinglian clearly noticed that the woman's footsteps were stagnant, pretending to be ignorant and indifferent, "Also, When someone asks, what do you want to say? Will you be arrested together with a cover-up crime? Or, your stockade will drive you out for fear of being implicated in you?"
"...Oh, no." The woman answered this sentence very quietly and vaguely.
"What did you say?"
"I said no," Qianyi bit his scalp and said, "We have privileges in the village."
privilege.
Xue Qinglian looked at the woman, her eyes darkened.
In Xiliang, what can be a privileged place
I want to ask more, the two have entered the stockade, and someone from far away immediately rushed over when they saw them.
Xue Qinglian condensed her eyes and found that it was a young woman who rushed over. She was dressed differently from Qian Yi. Qian Yi was probably wearing light-colored casual clothes for the convenience of travel.
The women's clothes should be Xiliang women's clothing, with colorful colors and a hat dotted with gold silk and silver leaves. The whole look is very gorgeous.
The woman rushed to the two of them and immediately said to Qianyi, "Qianyi, where did you go today, do you know that the envoy who is here to pick someone is almost here? The elder made a big deal when he found that you were not there when the call was made. Temper, go and explain to her, or you will be punished!"
After speaking, he found the man walking behind the woman and immediately exclaimed, "Who is he? Qianyi, why did you bring a man to the stockade?"
"What is bluffing, it makes people look unsteady. He is my guardian," Qian Yi raised his chin, "I am someone who has a marriage contract, and even if the envoy does come, there is nothing wrong with me. I will go to the elder to make it clear later."
The woman opposite took a breath, her eyes were back and forth between Qianyi and the man for a long while, she couldn't believe it was true.
"How is it possible, you obviously didn't..."
"How could it be impossible? I fell in love with him at first sight, and immediately agreed for life." Pulling Xue Qinglian around the woman, "It's okay, don't hang around here, go back to the house quickly, lest the elder sees you and scolds you for not doing business."
"... Qianyi, you haven't told me his name yet!" The voice came from far behind.
"What's the hurry, I will report to the elder first and then slowly tell you!" Qian Yi rolled her eyes secretly, she asked her to say something? I don’t know if it’s his real name.
During the conversation between the two, Xue Qinglian had secretly observed the surrounding environment.
After walking in, I discovered that although there are bamboo buildings everywhere, each bamboo building is independent. There are courtyards and walls, which are similar to the houses in Nanling.
At this time, I can hardly meet the people in the stockade on the road, so I should be ready to rest.
When passing by the small courtyards of bamboo houses, people can occasionally hear voices coming from them.
Under the moonlit night, the very small voices were very clear, and it showed the tranquility of the entire stockade.
And this tranquility is completely different from Xinghua Village, revealing a kind of restraint.
Without making any changes, Xue Qinglian pretended not to notice anything unusual, followed Qian Yi to turn left and right, and finally stopped in front of a bamboo building.
"This is where I live. You are my guardian. You can live with me in a bamboo building." Pushing open the courtyard door, with the clear moonlight, Qian Yi took out an oil lamp in a groove on the courtyard wall. Light it up with a fire fold, and greet the people who are still standing at the door to come in, "I live alone in the entire yard. No one will bother you. Don't worry."
