Chapter 12 Go to Hangzhou

After avoiding the limelight, I must go home, kneel in front of my parents' graves, offer incense and worship, and ask them to forgive me for being an unfilial daughter.

Chu Yingying's eyes were red, thinking so.

"Sister, why are you crying too?" Cui Yunhao looked up at her, stopped sobbing, and said in surprise.

"I didn't cry, it's just that the wind and sand made me blind." Chu Yingying wiped her eyes with her sleeve, shook her head and laughed.

"Sister, I have a suggestion. I don't know if I should say it or not." Cui Yunhao was led forward by her, as if remembering something, she suddenly stopped.

"Just say what you want to say." Chu Yingying saw his serious appearance, and couldn't help wondering what he was going to say.

"Sister, how about we escape to Hangzhou together."

Cui Yunhao paused, then continued: "Hangzhou has beautiful scenery and is known as 'Paradise on Earth'. The story of the story happened in the West Lake of Hangzhou."

Chu Yingying was stunned for a while, and stared at him suspiciously: "Little mouse, why are you so familiar with this place? It's as if you have been there yourself."

Cui Yunhao chuckled and said, "Dad told me about it before. He had an old friend named Pei who lived in Hangzhou. Dad said that if he let go in the future, he would tell me to join Pei Shibo in Hangzhou. Shibo will definitely I will remember the old relationship and take good care of me."

"So that's how it is." Chu Yingying listened, nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "Hangzhou is indeed a good place, rich in products, prosperous and rich, known as the 'Land of Fish and Rice', 'Home of Silk', sericulture, Longjing, etc. Tea is famous far and wide, a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River. If we go there, we must be able to live well. Little mouse, I listen to you, let's go to Hangzhou!"

"Really? That's great." Cui Yunhao clapped his hands happily, his eyes shining like stars, and he said happily: "Sister, when we arrive in Hangzhou, go find me, Uncle Pei. If you know that I am Xuan Cheng Cui Shangming's son, he will definitely take us in."

"Okay. Then let's start now. From here to Hangzhou, it will take at least two or three days on foot and by boat. It's getting late, and the guards in the prison probably have already discovered that we have escaped. We have to hurry up." , or they will catch up."

With a definite goal, Chu Yingying immediately cheered up and left Ningyang County with Cui Yunhao.

On the way, he found out the route to Hangzhou from others, and spent two Wen to buy a fence to cover his true face.

It's easy to say, but it's very difficult to actually do it.

The biggest problem they have encountered so far is not that they have to walk a long way, and their legs will become weak at that time, and the soles of their feet will be bleeding blisters, but that they have no food for three meals a day, plus no water to drink, and no shelter. The shelter from the wind and rain allows them to sleep well.

In order to avoid being chased by officials, Chu Yingying did not dare to take the official route, but chose some mountain roads or detours.

During the day, the two of them rushed on the road non-stop, facing the scorching sun, walking with their heads drooping.

When I was hungry, I dug some thatch roots along the way, washed them and chewed them in my mouth. Sometimes I was lucky, and when I passed by the fields of farmers, I could eat a few sweet potatoes.When I was thirsty, I drank a few sips of the clear water in the stream with water.

Considering that it is not always possible to meet the water source, Chu Yingying went to the forest to pick up two small bamboo tubes to hold water.

At night, they could only huddle together in a dilapidated temple to make do for the night.

Chu Yingying picked up some dry firewood and came in before it was dark, while Cui Yunhao sat on the ground and was in charge of grinding the stones.

When the two stones collided with each other and sparked, they were ignited with velvet grass, and black smoke soon appeared, crackling and burning.
