Farm outside the city.
Xu Ke and the other people who were bought were placed in three long bunk rooms, and each of them received a new thin quilt. It was still the season of spring and cold, and the night was cold and windy, so if you didn't cover the quilt, you would definitely get cold. , the two rough women were arranged in a separate room.
The older ones were already numb, and quietly lay down on their own beds with the quilt in their arms, laying their bodies stiffly.
However, the young and vigorous Xu Ke could not easily accept his fate.
The boy on the bed next to him turned around and found that Xu Ke was still sitting on the bed, so he couldn't help sighing softly.
"Brother Xu, why aren't you sleeping yet? Tomorrow, I don't know what the master wants us to do, so don't rest early..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Ke interrupted him with a hoarse voice and said, "Go to sleep first, I was very sick a while ago and slept a lot, but now I'm not sleepy. If it bothers you to rest, I'll go out and play first. Erfeng, you go to sleep first."
After speaking, Xu Ke lifted the thin quilt, pursed his thin lips, and gently opened the door, seeing the pitch-dark sky outside, except for the faint snoring inside the door and the wind blowing outside. No other sound!
Seeing this, Xu Ke couldn't help licking his back molars with the tip of his tongue, and a stranded plan came to his mind again.
If he doesn't leave now, and waits for the people in the house behind him to be tamed by Liu Mansion, all of them are eyeliners, and if he wants to escape again, there will be no chance.
Ever since he was lifted from death row by chance, Xu Ke has been thinking about finding his freedom all the time.
Naihe became a slave and fell into the hands of Yaxing. He could only choose to endure and hibernate. He finally found out the rules of the night patrol of Yaxing's patrol and guards. He even made other preparations. Unexpectedly, Jiang Pengji stepped in.
However... It seems that there is nothing wrong with this. The Yaxing is very strict with the "cargo" guards. Basically, they have to patrol twice every quarter of an hour. They have deployed strong and strong thugs both inside and outside. Weak scholar.
Not to mention that he is still sick now, if he is accidentally caught and taken back, he will definitely be beaten to death.
On the other hand, in this farm, the guards are lax, and no one cares about the slaves they bought. If he finds the farm in the dark, he only needs to enter the nearby woods, which is basically safe, and then flee to the mountains to avoid the limelight for two days. May be free!
The thought lingered in his mind, Xu Ke swallowed nervously, because of the fever, his throat was so dry that smoke came out.
Shaking his dizzy mind, Xu Ke tried to keep himself awake, and the route he saw when he was pulled over by the mule cart appeared in his mind.
"If the sky does not stop me, I will definitely avenge this!"
Xu Ke was very cautious. He crawled and hid in the shadows to find the farmhouse. The farmhouse behind him was like a sleeping beast, curled up in a deep sleep. The ability to cut off human freedom.
The footsteps staggered and touched the woods, and a mile ahead was the deep forest and the mountains.
When the farmer found out that he had escaped, it would take two hours at the earliest, and he had plenty of time.
However, Xu Ke's heart that he was about to return to freedom did not last long, and the two heroic eyebrows gradually frowned because of doubts.
There was a kind of uneasiness in his heart, Xu Ke walked for another quarter of an hour, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom.
The night wind whistled, hitting his face with bone-chilling coldness, but it was never as cold as his cold heart at this time.
The huge gap that was about to touch the heaven of freedom, but was knocked down to hell by reality, made his hands and feet cold.
A group of twelve people, all tall and strong, all dressed in neat leather armor, riding tall horses, were watching him silently.
Xu Ke stared blankly at those people, and those people stared at him blankly.
The silence speaks!
Finally, the crisp sound of hooves broke the silence, and someone came up and asked him, "Xu Xiaoyu?"
At first, Xu Ke still had luck in his heart. Although he was a fugitive slave, it was not someone who wanted to kill him when he saw the fugitive slave.
Now, is it too late for him to go back to wash and sleep
These people were obviously coming for him, and Xu Ke didn't take any chances anymore, instead he felt a sense of pride in his heart, he raised his hands to gather up his clothes, and cupped his hands, "It's down here, Xu Xiaoyu from Zisang County. ."
"Xu Xiaoyu? Oh, it's just you. Our master wanted to see you, so he waited for most of the night."
Xu Ke was suspicious in his heart, but the other party obviously didn't want to say more, just let him follow, as if he was going to take him to see someone.
Even if he wanted to escape, he had to weigh it. He was a two-legged man, and he was ill, so he couldn't outrun a four-legged horse.
There are many farm villages outside Hejian County, of different sizes. After walking with these strange people for a long time, he saw a little candlelight in front of him, and he could vaguely see the appearance of the villages. Xu Ke frowned. He frowned, pursed his thin lips, and his eyes flickered darkly.
The leader of the horse got off the horse, threw the reins to his companion, and said to Xu Ke, whose face was pale and his lips were blue.
"Master is waiting for you in the room, you can go in, don't lose your courtesy."
Xu Ke was still full of fog, opened the door, and the hot air in the room rushed towards his face, and the air still had a slight fragrance.
This scent reminded Xu Ke subconsciously of the young Qing Jun in the daytime, the noble son of a big family who bought him with money.
Is it him
Xu Ke was hesitant in his heart, but when he saw the figure projected on the screen, he immediately denied the suspicion.
The figure was clearly an adult man, and the boy during the day was no more than twelve or thirteen years old.
"Come in."
The man's slightly hoarse mature voice came from the room, making Xu Ke recover from his guess.
Kneeling in front of the screen, Xu Ke's eyes flickered with unknown colors. After a few breaths, the rustling of clothes getting up and rubbing came from the other side of the screen, and then the sound of steady footsteps. The source of the fragrance was getting closer and closer to him. the closer.
"Xu Ke? Xu Xiaoyu?"
A familiar force came from his chin, but unlike Jiang Pengji's folding fan, the man held it directly with his hands. The strength was so great that he couldn't help but secretly take a breath of cold air. The pain was so painful that there were tears in the corners of his eyes. red silk.
Only then did Xu Ke see the face of the man in front of him.
Against the burning candlelight in the room, the man's face fell into his eyes, and the man's eyes seemed to have a poison-like coldness.
From the perspective of appearance, it is somewhat similar to the boy in the daytime. As long as he is not blind, anyone can see that there is a blood relationship between the two. This... Xu Ke was just worried, he was just a slave bought by a teenager, as for provoking his parents to go out
Slightly difficult to answer, "It's... the villain..."
For no reason, being stared at by that poisonous snake-like cold and poisonous eyes, Xu Ke's brain seemed to have been emptied, and his heart was filled with indescribable fear, even the pain of his jaw being pinched blue and purple could not be felt. .
