Chapter 2: Are you running away?
There was no other way, so Yi Xing had no choice but to give it a try.
I originally thought that Erina would not be able to fit into the suitcase no matter how petite she was, but to her surprise, after taking away most of the luggage, she was successfully stuffed inside.
"Look, I just said it can be done!" Erina curled up in the suitcase triumphantly and smiled: "Quick, pack your things, we'll set off right away!"
It's over, what am I doing?
Maekawa Yoshiyuki wiped his sweat.
Do you really want to escape to Tokyo like this?
Although he was still a little hesitant, he simply packed his luggage, then perfectly avoided the sight of other servants and Yida's family, and climbed directly back to Erina's room.
Yes, his room is directly above Erina, on the second floor.
In order to secretly play together after the curfew time set by the Yida family, he rappelled down a rope from the window to go to and from the eldest daughter's bedroom since he was a child.
Then the two of them would play games together in the dark, watch animations, etc.
This idea was suggested by the eldest lady, who was always smart and liked to have Yi Xing play with her. Indeed, they spent countless nights happily while worrying about being discovered.
It's just that I almost broke out many times.
It is quite difficult to quickly complete the series of operations of closing the game, closing the TV, and hiding him as an outsider before the adults find out.
Since they might check cabinets and other places, Yi Xing was often forced to hide under the covers with the eldest lady.
Fortunately, these people never lift the quilt to check.
Otherwise, if it is discovered that a mere manservant of his dares to be too close to the eldest lady, he is afraid that his legs will be broken and thrown up the mountain to feed the wolves.
The eldest lady promised that she would not let this happen even if she gave up the opportunity to study in the city in the future. Maekawa Yoshiyuki was deeply moved for a time. So, the following conversation took place.
"Miss, would you really plead for me like this?"
"Yes." Erina said with a serious face, "I will beg them to beat you to death directly."
…
Maekawa Yoshiyuki hung the wooden sword that the eldest daughter had given him as a birthday gift last year on his waist, carried a schoolbag containing personal belongings, and dragged the eldest daughter's suitcase containing it out of the yard.
As I walked, the scene of the eldest lady being suffocated to death and myself being sentenced to commit seppuku with a blunt knife appeared in my mind. It was very terrifying.
So, he couldn't help but ask again when he was going down the mountain.
"Miss, are you sure you won't feel uncomfortable?"
"How comfortable would it be for you to stay here?" A dull complaint came from the suitcase: "It's bumping around so much that I feel a little dizzy...but I can bear it in order to go to Tokyo!"
"Well, if you really can't breathe, remember to call out."
In fact, everything went very smoothly after leaving the house until walking down the long stone mountain road.
Yi Xing thought that he could at least make it all the way to the bus stop safely, and then he would think about whether he would be discovered by the driver.
However, as soon as he entered the village road, he saw a person from a distance that he least wanted to see at this moment.
That is Maekawa Yoshiyuki’s master—Kazuhiro!
This crew-cut man, about forty years old, wearing a black trench coat, was leaning against the car and smoking, with a real samurai sword hanging on his waist.
Every time he was sent by the eldest lady to run errands in town and his master saw him, He Hong would offer to drive him there directly, which was much easier and more convenient than waiting for the bus.
And today is no exception - that's why Yi Xing doesn't want to be seen by him!
Maekawa Yoshiyuki immediately decided to change his route and go around the trail while Master didn't notice.
However, dragging a suitcase will eventually make noise.
He Hong immediately noticed this, turned around, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, and shouted at him with a smile.
"Hey, Yi Xing! What are you doing with such a big box?"
Oops, I was still seen!
Master is shouting, I can’t pretend not to hear, right?
Yi Xing suddenly cried out in pain in his heart, but he could only bite the bullet and answer.
"Ah, Master! The eldest lady asked me to go to the town to purchase again. I thought the quantity was a bit large, so I brought a suitcase to transport it back easily."
"Haha, that's it! I happen to be going to the town to buy some things, so let's go together!"
Master glanced at his suitcase, opened the car door with a smile and said so.
There is no way, if you refuse here, you will definitely be suspected.
Yi Xing bravely got into the car, but he did not dare to stuff the suitcase into the trunk because he was afraid that the eldest lady would have difficulty breathing.
Soon, Master drove out of the village and chatted with Yi Xing wordlessly.
Because He Hong behaved the same as before, Yi Xing gradually relaxed his vigilance.
However, just after the car drove to a quiet place with no one around, the master suddenly said something that made him feel a chill down his spine.
"Miss, isn't it boring to hide it like this?"
"Ah? What young lady?" Yi Xing quickly pretended to be calm and pretended to be stupid.
"Have you been able to hide this from me these two times? When have you ever dragged a suitcase out?" He Hong slowly stopped the car on the side of the road: "Okay, Miss, come out and have a chat! Tell me about it.
What are you doing? Elope?"
This wording immediately made Yi Xing's heart beat faster, and he hurriedly wanted to clarify.
However, Erina had already crawled out of the box at this time and spoke dissatisfied first.
"Humph, right? It's just an elopement! Can you care?! Yi Xing, let's go! I don't want to talk to him!"
When Yi Xing heard this, he was shocked.
After all, this matter has been exposed. If the nature is determined as running away from home, then at most they will be fined and detained until the start of school.
That's completely within the plan of righteousness.
But if it is characterized as an elopement, the situation will be serious.
Now that the eldest lady has admitted it herself, if the master takes it seriously and reports it to him, then according to the rules of the Yida family, he may not be able to save his life!
At least one eye has to be disabled!
At this time, Erina began to twist the handle violently, but the door did not respond.
This immediately made her a little dumbfounded.
"Huh? Why can't it be opened..."
"It's useless, I locked the car door. No one can leave until I explain clearly." The master knocked on the driver's seat console, turned to look at the two of them, and asked with a smile: "The eldest lady seems to be very fond of me.
Do you have any objections? Can I ask why?"
"You know what you're asking! Isn't it because you always persuade me to stay in the village and listen to the family? It's as annoying as my parents!" Erina shouted angrily: "They are all a group of liars. They have been there since I went to junior high school.
You have been lying to me since the beginning! You adults are all like this! Since you didn’t intend to let me leave the village from the beginning, don’t agree!”
"Miss, you have misunderstood. In fact, your parents and I support you going to Tokyo, and we have also begged the master of the family for mercy. But he just doesn't agree, and there is nothing we can do." The master sighed and explained.
: "So, since you can't change the status quo, I can only advise you to be more open-minded, right?"
"Huh? What?" Erina was a little confused when she heard what he said: "If you support me, why haven't you told me yet?!"
"Aren't you afraid that you will place your hopes on us? We don't dare to disobey the family leader. It will only make you more disappointed." After He Hong said this, he looked at the two of them and smiled bitterly: "However, it seems that we still underestimated
I see how rebellious you are, Miss, to actually do such a thing as running away with Yi Xing... Do you know what the consequences will be if you are caught and taken back?"
"Huh, isn't it just a beating?" Erina looked completely indifferent: "Then it's done! Who is afraid of whom?"
"You are not afraid, but what about Yi Xing?" He Hong reminded: "If a servant elopes with a young lady, the punishment he will receive is not as simple as a beating. It would not be surprising if he is killed directly."
"You dare! Yoshiyuki is mine. If any of you dare to touch it, I will fight you to the death! If he dies, I won't be able to live anymore!" Erina became anxious and shouted quickly: "I am the master.
