Chapter two hundred and fifty first escape
When Xu Lang led people to find the wild shop and found the secret note left by Chen Danxia in the store. When he was sure that he had not found the wrong direction, Chen Danxia and Xu Xu were being held onto a large ship by Mr. Huang and others. After being locked in the cabin, Xu Xu cried and said, "San Sister-in-law, we are getting farther and farther away from Jin, what should we do?"
"Don't be impatient." Chen Danxia was also very anxious, but his anxiety could not solve the problem. Two days ago, their peace of mind had already made them relax their vigilance. Unfortunately, they had never found a good opportunity to escape, so they were taken on the boat. Not to mention that they can't swim, even if they can, with their physical condition, can they swim ashore? Now they can only wait for the boat to dock.
The boat went downstream, a day and a thousand miles a day. The child in his belly has always been very well-behaved. Now he seems to know that his mother has been caught by a bad person, so he is even more well-behaved. Chen Danxia had a little morning sickness, but now he has no more.
Chen Danxia went to bed and lay down. She had to maintain her energy and wait until the boat landed before she could escape. Xu Qi sat on another bed and looked at Chen Danxia with a frown. She was an unintentional person and was counting on Chen Danxia in everything.
At noon, the strong man brought the meal, and Chen Danxia scooped two cups of soup for the two strong men to drink. After they finished drinking, Chen Danxia slowly started eating. Xu Qi couldn't swallow the food, so he only ate half a bowl and put it down.
"Eat some more." Chen Danxia advised.
Xu Xu shook his head, "I can't eat it."
Chen Danxia didn't advise her to continue eating. For the sake of the child in her belly, she would never stop eating. After the meal, the strong man took the remaining rice and left. After a while, the strong man brought the apples washed with water. This was what Chen Danxia tried hard to get. For the sake of the child's nutrition, a fruit every day is necessary. Pick up a knife and peel the apples.
Xu Xu looked at Chen Danxia with a good appetite and sighed.
Chen Danxia cut the apple skin, cut it in half, and handed it to Xu Xu, "If you don't eat and have no strength, you can only let others mercy."
Xu Xu realized this time and took the apple, "Thank you, my third sister-in-law, I understand."
Chen Danxia glanced at the closed door and lowered his voice and said, "Don't be afraid, don't make a fuss. What do I do? Just look at it. Don't make a sound, don't ask more, I will take you away."
Xu Xu nodded obediently.
In the evening, the ship stopped at a temporary dock; under the supervision of the strong man, Chen Danxia and Xu Xu went for a walk on the deck. Two ships were parked next to him. Chen Danxia took a look. One was a cargo ship and the other was an official ship. Chen Danxia looked at the strong man guarding them, looked at the guards on the official ship, measured the force of the two, and gave up the plan to ask for help.
Mr. Huang, who had been secretly paying attention to Chen Danxia's actions, saw Chen Danxia walking on the deck and then returned to the cabin. During this period, he had no intention of asking outsiders for help and nodded with satisfaction. Since she was so honest and conscious of the current affairs, she would not have to keep an eye on it too tight in the future.
The next evening, the boat stopped on the shore again. Chen Danxia went on the deck to take a walk. He saw three large stele characters engraved on a rock on the shore. Chen Danxia identified it for a moment and said, "Menniang Ferry."
"There is Minniang in You County. She was fifteen years old and was in the middle of the Liang Dynasty. The man did not come, and the water did not go. Minniang died after she was rocks." Xu Xu murmured.
Youxian.
Chen Danxia's eyes turned slightly. According to the "Dafeng Geographical Record", Minniang Ferry was located in the suburbs of You County, about three miles away from the county town. Looking at the straight dirt road and the unobstructed surroundings, Chen Danxia sighed lightly. Even if they could escape from the boat, they would be caught if they couldn't walk far.
Although I couldn't escape, I at least knew that Mr. Huang had not lie and had been moving south all the time. Unfortunately, even though I knew this, it would not help me. In the next two days, I still couldn't find a chance to escape. Tianshen Shi was docking, and got off the boat and got on the bus.
Chen Danxia lifted up some curtains and looked out. This should be a small town developed from a small fishing village. There were no high walls built. Many fishing boats were docked on the simple pier, and the air was filled with a strong smell of fish. When he arrived at the inn, Chen Danxia found that he lived in a bungalow and knew that the opportunity had come.
After the door was tied to death, Chen Danxia took out a paper bag from his arms and opened the layers of wrapped paper. There was a ball of moldy rice inside. Xu Xu frowned in disgust and asked, "San Sister-in-law, why are you keeping this dirty thing?"
"Shut up." Chen Danxia glared at her.
Xu Xu shrank in a chair and sat down. He watched Chen Danxia scrape the penicillium from the rice into the cup little by little, and then put the handkerchief in his handkerchief on his sleeve. Then he threw the paper wrapped in the rice under the bed. He opened the door and coldly told the two strong men: "I want to drink green vegetables and tofu soup tonight."
After saying that, without waiting for the two of them to answer, Chen Danxia closed the door again. With Xu Xu's puzzled eyes, he sat on the chair and gently stroked his stomach.
Two quarters of an hour later, the strong man brought the rice in. The soup was the green vegetable and tofu soup that Chen Danxia asked. When Shen Danxia was scooping the soup, Xu Xu saw her sprinkle penicillium hidden in her sleeve into the soup. Xu Xu widened his eyes.
Chen Danxia scooped two cups of soup and let the two strong men drink it. Seeing that the two finished the soup without hesitation, Chen Danxia smiled slightly and brought the bowl to eat. Xu Qi hesitated for a moment and started eating, but he didn't dare to touch the bowl of vegetable tofu soup.
Chen Danxia chewed slowly and swallowed carefully. Before the meal was finished, the two strong men began to feel cramped in their stomachs and put down their stinky farts uncontrollably. Chen Danxia put the chopsticks heavily on the table and said coldly: "Get out."
The two strong men walked out with a hint of disgust. In fact, even if Chen Danxia didn't let them go out, they would go out. The stomach hurt so much that they wanted to go to the toilet. Chen Danxia walked quickly to the window and opened the window. Only when eating, the two strong men guarding outside the window would leave. Chen Danxia moved the chair under the window and stepped on it.
"San Sister-in-law, what are you going to do?" Xu Xu asked over and asked.
Chen Danxia got off the chair, "Hide in the bed, don't make any noise, hurry up."
Although Xu Xu wanted to ask clearly, he was so scared that he didn't dare to ask by Chen Danxia's sharp eyes that he crawled into the bed. Chen Danxia opened the wardrobe in the room and hid in. Not long after the two hid, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside. Then the door was kicked open, and Mr. Huang led the person in, "Damn it, they ran away."
Mr. Huang led the people to chase them out. Chen Danxia saw that they were all gone through the cracks in the wardrobe. He opened the door, walked out, knocked on the bed frame, and said, "Sister Wu, come out quickly."
Xu Xu crawled out of the bed and asked pale, "San Sister-in-law, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? We have to escape immediately. Are we waiting for them to come back here?" Chen Danxia glanced at her and asked her to crawl out of the window. Then, Chen Danxia climbed out. However, because she was pregnant and did not dare to jump down, Xu Xu moved a few bricks and asked her to step down.
After the sister-in-law and sister-in-law came out of the room, Chen Danxia pulled off several clothes hanging in the backyard and pulled Xu Xu to hide in the woodshed.
"San Sister-in-law, won't we run away?" Xu Xu asked in panic.
"Do you think our footwork will be faster than theirs?" Chen Danxia asked back.
Xu Xu shook his head.
"What we have to do now is wait, wait for them to leave, and then we will leave." Chen Danxia threw the cloth dress in her hand to her, "Change dress." Chen Danxia took off all the jewelry on her body, untied her hair, tied it into a round bun, and tied her hair on her forehead with a hairband. She dressed up with a rustic look, and she used black charcoal to blacken her face and hands. Xu Xu did the same thing, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law immediately changed from a rich girl to a village woman.
After Mr. Huang led the man to chase after him for a while, he did not find any trace of Chen Danxia and Xu Xu. He was shocked and led the man back. Seeing the opened wardrobe and moving footsteps, he whispered, "This stinky girl."
Mr. Huang led the people to chase them out again. This time, they did not return to the inn. Chen Danxia and Xu Xu waited nervously in the woodshed until the time was fixed, and they were silent all over, before they quietly came out of the woodshed. They did not leave the inn immediately, but went to the room that Mr. Huang had booked.
Mr. Huang and the others were in a hurry and did not take the bag away. Chen Danxia successfully found Lu Yin and dozens of taels of broken silver belonging to her and Xu Xu. The sister-in-law and sister-in-law packed up the things, secretly opened the back door of the inn, and walked out.
Chen Danxia took Xu Xu along the route that had been observed during the day and evasively walked to the dock. Chen Danxia found a house with a fishing net, and eavesdropped outside for a while, shook his head, pulled Xu Xu to another house with a fishing net, and listened to three houses in a row.
Chen Danxia knocked on the door of a family, and the person in the room said, "Who will come so late?"
The door opened, and the one who opened it was a gray-haired woman, "Who are you looking for?"
"Auntie, I want to hire a boat to the other side." Chen Danxia said with a smile.
"It's so late, I can't take a boat." The old woman said.
"Then tomorrow morning, tonight, can I let my sister stay overnight?" Chen Danxia asked.
"My little lady, it's not that I don't want to keep you, but there are only two rooms and one bed in the house. You should go to the town to stay in the inn." The old woman said embarrassedly.
"Auntie, I'm going to tell you that there is not much money left on me except for the ship's bank. I don't know when I can get to the other side of the river. This money has to be saved." Chen Danxia made up a series of lies, which made Xu Xu dumbfounded.
The old woman's mercy suddenly arose and let them in, "Have you had supper?"
"I've eaten it." Chen Danxia smiled.
An old man wearing a patched outer dress came out of here, "What are these two?"
"They are here to hire a boat and go to Huzhou City on the other side." The old woman smiled.
"Hello uncle, I'm sorry to disturb you so late. My surname is Tu and my name is Sanniang. This is my sister, Siniang. I wonder what the uncle and aunt are called?" Chen Danxia asked with a smile. Xu Xu pouted, Tu Siniang's name was a little ugly.
The old man smiled and said, "You call me Uncle Fan, this is my old wife, just call her Aunt Fan."
"Uncle Fan, Aunt Fan, I'll disturb you tonight." Chen Danxia said with a smile.
"There is nothing to bother or not, whoever goes out can still bring a house and bed with him." Aunt Fan smiled.
Uncle Fan put two long benches together and put them together for one night, while Aunt Fan, Shen Danxia and Xu Xu squeezed into the large wooden bed. Fortunately, the three of them were all slim and barely settled. However, the quilt on the bed had a fishy smell, and Chen Danxia, who was sensitive to the smell, did not sleep well.
The next day, it was dawn, and Uncle Fan got up first, followed by Aunt Fan and Shen Danxia. Chen Danxia called Xu Xu. After a simple washing, Aunt Fan went to the kitchen built on the earthen wall behind to cook fish porridge, and Chen Danxia went to help her burn the fire.
The fish porridge and pickles were also a meal. After eating, we discussed the price of hiring a boat. Uncle Fan took them to the dock. After the boat left the shore, Shen Dan felt relieved. Finally, he was safe for the time being, but the future was unpredictable.
"Auntie Fan, do you know Kui County?" Chen Danxia asked tentatively with a lucky mentality.
"What you are going to is Kui County, not Huzhou City." Aunt Fan said.
"My cousin is in Kui County, so we are going to join him this time." Chen Danxia had thought before he escaped. Mr. Huang would definitely go north to pursue him, so she went the other way and continued to go south.
"If you take a boat straight down, you will be able to reach Kui County in three days. If you go to Huzhou City, it will take five days to transfer to Kui County." Aunt Fan had a thought and hoped that Chen Danxia would hire her boat to Kui County.
"I wonder if Mr. Fan is willing to go this trip?" Chen Danxia was ecstatic and went to Kui County to find Cheng Jue, and she would be saved. She was also happy to continue hiring the old couple. After all, if you go to Huzhou City and hire a carriage, you will be in big trouble if you encounter bad people.
"He must be willing to go this trip." Aunt Fan happily crawled out of the cabin, "Old man, the third lady is going to Kui County."
"Didn't it mean to go to Huzhou, why did it change to Kui County again?" Mr. Fan asked in surprise.
"The third lady was going to Kui County, and was going to Huzhou and hire a car to Kui County. I told her that she could take a boat to Kui County directly to the Nanmen Wharf of Kui County. The third lady agreed to take a boat to Kui County." Aunt Fan explained.
"You old lady, there is not enough food on this boat. How can you go to Kui County?" Mr. Fan glared at her.
"Uncle, my sister said, go to Huzhou to buy some rice and grain, and then ask the uncle to row a boat to take us to Kui County. Is this good?" Xu Xu leaned out and said.
"Okay, that's it." Aunt Fan agreed directly without Mr. Fan's consent.
The boat rowed to the opposite shore at an oblique angle. At the moment, the boat was docked on the dock. Chen Danxia took out three taels of silver and asked Aunt Fan to buy rice.
"Third Lady, there are too many of them." Aunt Fan smiled.
"A lot of money, Aunt Lau buys some fresh fruits and vegetables, come back." Chen Danxia smiled.
Aunt Fan went ashore to buy things. Chen Danxia and Xu Xu did not show up and kept hiding in the cabin and on the dock. The fishermen who went to catch fish in the early morning had already returned. An hour later, Aunt Fan came back with a bamboo basket on her back and a friend carrying rice bags.
Aunt Fan asked the guy to put the rice bag on the bow of the boat and sent him away, "Old man, get the boat."
"Okay!" Uncle Fan untied the rope, picked up the bamboo pole and supported the boat off the shore.

I am really a real mother. I can't bear to torture Xiao Jiuer, so I'll let her escape so quickly.
