The Peasant Girl's Glory

Chapter 205 Escape

I saw that October was carrying two men's coarse cloth robes in his hands.

Although this robe was rough and old, and there were several holes in the robe, it was really a good emergency for the two of them at this time.

With these two pieces, she and October can repeat the old trick of disguising themselves as men.

Shen Furong hurriedly said: "October, let's see what else?"

October promised, and looked down again:
"Ma'am, there are also fishing nets, harpoons, fish baskets made of bamboo strips, straw rattan shoes, and two sets of minnows!"

Shen Furong's eyes brightened as she listened, "October, I think we have a way to get rid of them!"

***

Shanghe Village is a small village with only a few dozen households, all of which are built on the bank of the river.

In the vast morning mist, the white fish maw gradually lit up on the horizon. At this time, the river bank was illuminated by a morning glow in the distance. The river behind the fishing boat was golden and looked beautiful.

The scenery of this early morning on the river bank, like washing away the lead in the world, makes people can't help but shine.

A few fishermen wearing bamboo hats and scorpions were coming and going on the shore carrying various commonly used tools.

Other fishermen were on the riverbank, mending their nets.

Beside them, four or five middle-aged women were drying dried fish. Those fish of different sizes were laid flat on wooden drying boards, and were preparing to receive the sunlight hiding behind the clouds.

The river wind was blowing, it was very cool, and everything seemed so peaceful and distant, making people feel physically and mentally comfortable.

It's a pity that a sudden cry broke the silence.

"Huh? We are almost catching up with them, why did this person suddenly disappear again!"

"Boss, look, this is the ship of those two dead girls!"

"The boat is here, people must not run far, search for me!"

Several big men got off the boat one after another, the scattered stones on the river were stepped on, and the noise was so loud that the dogs in the village all barked.

The fishermen and women on the shore just looked up at these sudden intruders in surprise, and then went back to their own business.

After all, for these people who are busy for their livelihood, they can catch more small fish and shrimp in a big fish basket, sell them in the market and exchange them for copper coins, and then use them to pay the boat tax of the county government and maintain a family of young and old. Livelihood is what matters.

"Hello! Did you see two women getting off that boat?"

A few big men looked at the fishermen with deep eyes and said sternly, "Do you know which direction they ran to?"

The fishermen on the shore shook their heads and said they had never seen it before.

After the leading man looked back and forth again, he made a gesture, and the other big men immediately walked over to the women on the river bank.

Following a burst of screams from the woman's horror, several big men returned to their original places, "Boss, I've seen it, it's not at all!"

After the fright just now, several women were trembling, and they dared not sweat, and some even began to cry softly in fear.

The fishermen on the shore also looked ugly. Although everyone was angry, they dared not speak.

The leading man's expression was solemn, his eagle-like eyes glanced sharply at everyone present.

Soon, he set his eyes on a slender fisherman who was not tall.

This fisherman was half-squatting in front of a fishing net, his head buried low, and he stayed in this position for a long time, which was a bit weird.

The leading man immediately shouted to the fisherman: "You, come here!"

Seeing that the fisherman continued to lower his head as if he hadn't heard his words, but his body trembled slightly, he was suspicious and immediately strode towards the fisherman.

Just when he was about to walk in front of the fisherman, a hand full of mud suddenly stretched out and blocked his way, followed by a rough voice belonging to a man:
"This uncle, he is famous for being timid and fearful in our village. You might as well ask me. I saw two girls, but I don't know if they are the ones you are looking for."

The leading man stopped and his eyes fell on the owner of the hand.

I saw that the fisherman was not very old. He was nodding at him and smiling, his face was even more dirty than his hands, black and yellow, which made goosebumps all over his body.

The leading man couldn't help but take two steps back, his sinister gaze directed at the fisherman who stopped him in front of him:
"Did you see them? Where did they go?"

"This is..."

The fisherman blocking the road grinned again, with a wretched smile on his face, "I don't know, is there any reward?"

"You motherfucker still want to reward you with silver. If you don't tell everything you know, I will kill you!"

The leading man scolded and kicked the fishermen who were blocking the way.

The fisherman who blocked the road was hit and rolled on the ground a few times. When he got up with his waist, there were patches of green grass juice on his face, which looked extremely funny.

Seeing this, the leading man laughed "haha", "You can think of Lao Tzu's money as well? Why don't you hurry up!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The fishermen who blocked the road quickly agreed, pointing to the only dirt road leading to the outside of the village: "They're going over there!"

"Go! Chase me!"

The leading man ignored the fisherman who frowned in pain, and quickly chased him towards the dirt road.

"Ma'am, are you alright!"

As soon as the big men left, the fisherman who was squatting on the ground immediately got up, rushed to the side of the fisherman blocking the road, and asked in a low voice, "But are you hurt?"

It turned out that the fishermen who blocked the road earlier were none other than Shen Furong disguised.

Shen Furong shook her head, and her words returned to the clear voice that a woman should have:

"It's okay, I got out of the way when I saw that the situation was not good, and I wasn't hurt at all!"

"Fortunately, fortunately, the maid was frightened just now. If something happens to the madam, the maid will be blamed for her death."

"October, be more natural. We are men's clothes now, and we have yellow mud on our faces. As long as we don't show our feet first, those people won't recognize us at all."

"Yes, the maid understands."

"Shh... someone's coming."

At this moment, a black and thin man walked towards Shen Furong and October.

When he approached the two of them, he handed a small plate of dried fish to Shen Furong, "Thank you for helping me sew the fishing net just now, a little thing is not respectful."

Shen Furong waved her hand, and at this moment resumed her rough male voice:

"Brother Huang, you don't need to give us anything, but can I ask you one thing?"

"I don't know what's the matter?"

"Can you take us to Gusu Wharf? Let's go now!"

"of course can."

The black and thin man didn't even think about it, he nodded and agreed.

"Great!"

Shen Furong and October looked at each other, and both saw joy in each other's eyes.

They also just came here to know that Yan Fengzhu actually took them hundreds of kilometers away from the capital while they were intoxicated and unconscious.

They must flee back to the capital before Yan Fengzhu finds them.

They had already inquired with other fishermen before that there were cargo ships going to the capital from Gusu Wharf every day.
