Suddenly, Xu Xianshu frowned, then he stretched out his fingers and pulled out a piece of paper stained with saliva from his mouth.

With inexplicable curiosity, Xu Xian slowly opened the paper and saw what was written above:

"Tonight, in the southeast of the town, we will enter the pass at three o'clock. Those who hold this seal will enter."

At the end of the paper, there was the signature of the chief steward and a bright red fingerprint, which instantly disrupted Xu Xian's mind.

What do you mean? The Lin family has established connections and can enter the town without going into exile?

The butler used Miss Chunxiu's hand to take the opportunity to give me a hand?

No, no, no, that’s not the case!

Xu Xian thought carefully about Chun Xiu's words just now. Compared with the fact that only some elderly people in the Lin Mansion were given the steamed buns, it seems that the number of places that the Lin Mansion can buy is limited. Chun Xiu's steamed buns are probably under special care.

!

I don’t know how long this journey will take. In just two days, there are already all kinds of weird signs on the road. The big housekeeper’s move is not to abandon anyone, but to rely on his strong family background to get rid of the old and weak first.

The sick and disabled are sent to a relatively safe place, and the young and strong continue on the road. It will be good if they can get to a checkpoint that is capable of taking them in. If they are not available, it will not be too late to spend money on them.

As for Xu Xian, his status is more embarrassing. According to Lin Hai's status as a student, he is also a distinguished person in the mansion. However, Lin Hai had already ordered not to give him special care. Combined with Xu Xian's difficulty in marching with the team these days,

The situation, he was very sure, was that even if he walked through two or three passes, he would probably not be able to get the spot for this big white steamed bun. If he missed this time, he would never know when the next time would be. Regardless of whether the demons were rampant or not,

But today's local gangsters like Ma Liu must be even more cruel and excessive.

Xu Xian stood there for a long time with eyes changing, and finally he gently put the entry voucher into his arms and took deep breaths several times to calm down.

At the third watch, the road became increasingly quiet, with only the sound of snoring coming from time to time. Everyone had walked all day during the day, and few of them could resist the exhaustion and stay awake late at night.

When everyone around him fell asleep, Xu Xian quietly stood up, packed up his few things, and walked quietly towards the place mentioned in the voucher.

Because this matter should not be kept public and might cause chaos, he walked extremely carefully, trying his best to choose places with few or no people at all.

When he was approaching the pass, Xu Xian heard a faint sound not far away. There were very few people here, only a small tent made of cloth.

He was afraid that the officers and soldiers on patrol would cause a disturbance and no one would be able to leave, so he quickly lay down on the ground and pretended to be a sleeping refugee.

Almost as soon as he lay down, the three people began to speak. The voice of one of them made Xu Xian feel a chill in his heart. It was actually the gangster Ma Liu who bullied him!

Ma Liu and the others sneakily approached the tent and heard him whisper:

"Have you looked carefully? Chunxiu girl from the Lin Mansion didn't want to stay in a good circle of wealthy people, so she came to spend the night in this wilderness?"

The big man who followed him nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, what I saw is true. This girl came out to wash clothes. She just slept here when it was too late. He is used to being a comfortable and comfortable member of the Lin family. He is not worried about the dangers outside."

Do you know clearly? Let’s move swiftly and no one will know!”

Ma Liu smiled obscenely and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be so blessed!"

The three of them laughed strangely, and Xu Xian, who was pretending to be dead, secretly grabbed the land on the ground. He didn't expect to meet Chunxiu at the entrance to the small town, and he was struggling for a moment.

He wanted to get angry and beat the three of them, but he didn't have the ability to do that. Besides, he was planning to escape with Miss Chunxiu's certificate, so why bother getting involved?

But not long ago, the girl's bright smile and those bright eyes flashed in front of him. How could he be so cruel?

Just when Xu Xian was struggling secretly, he suddenly heard Ma Liu and three others noticing him. One of the strong men asked:

"Sixth Master, there is someone nearby. If someone sees me when I'm doing things later..."

When Xu Xian heard this, the blood that had just been aroused quickly cooled down, and he almost screamed and got up to run away, but he heard Ma Liu smile disdainfully:

"Look at his virtuous behavior. He is a loner. What will happen if you see him? I'm afraid he doesn't even have the heart to get involved. Are you still afraid that he will ruin our affairs?"

The three people gradually went away as they said this. Xu Xian suddenly jumped up from the ground. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart and head, and ran towards the east desperately. The movement alarmed Ma Liu and the others, but they looked at it with sneers.

Just glance at it and ignore it.

Just a piece of trash.

Indeed, Xu Xian's life in the past ten years is indeed worthy of these two words.

In the night, the scenery on both sides whizzed backwards as Xu Xian ran as hard as he could. His physical strength was not good, and soon his chest felt like it was about to explode. However, he still ran as hard as he could regardless.

Along the way, he remembered that when he was studying in his childhood, he had been burdened with all the hopes of his sister at a very young age, but his eager and expectant eyes soon gradually became disappointed and angry after losing his reputation time and time again.

Many nights, he saw his sister covering her mouth and sobbing softly in her room, confessing her sins to her parents' memorial tablets.

Xu Xian thought that he was not good at studying, so after failing another scientific examination, he resolutely picked up the red umbrella and began to investigate and plan for the rich and wealthy girls in the city.

Suddenly, Xu Xian, who was running, seemed to have hit a wall. His whole body was bounced away by the huge force, and he fell to the ground in a panic. In front of him stood two officers and soldiers in bright armor. The leader pressed the hilt of his knife.

Staring down at Xu Xian who was panting, he shouted in a low voice:

"For what?"

"In...in..."

Xu Xian, who was exhausted, could no longer speak complete words. He pointed to his chest. An officer and soldier holding a long knife understood, stepped forward and took out the voucher and nodded:

"Yes, you can go in."

Xu Xian stood up with great difficulty, and suddenly heard the officer and soldier ask:

"It's a good thing to go in, why are you crying?"

Xu Xian wiped his face haphazardly, as if he had made up his mind: "My lord, do you mind robbing civilian girls?"

The officers and soldiers frowned and said, "Meet me on the road? Where are you?"

Xu Xian quickly told the place, but unexpectedly, the officer and soldier just nodded and said, "I understand," and was speechless.

Xu Xian said anxiously: "Won't you send someone over to take a look?"

The officers and soldiers said expressionlessly: "Our mission tonight is to guard this place. We will pass after you are all sent in. This can be regarded as doing our best."

Xu Xian's lips wriggled and he froze in place, with a look on his face that was sometimes pleading and sometimes ferocious. However, the officers and soldiers couldn't stand such entanglement and stepped forward to push Xu Xian to leave quickly and not to block the road here. Unexpectedly, this weak and breathless scholar

Suddenly he rushed forward like crazy, trying to snatch the sabers from the waists of the officers and soldiers, shouting:

"Give me, give me the knife!"

The officers and soldiers had been in battle for a long time, but a weak scholar could snatch the sword from his waist, and he flew up and kicked Xu Xian away.

"Looking for death?"

Xu Xian raised his head in confusion. This frail scholar, who had always been timid and gloomy, now had red eyes, as if he had murderous intent inside him. The officers and soldiers who had been on duty for more than ten years and had seen countless villains couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring and subconsciously lowered their palms.

On to the hilt of the knife.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xian, who was so powerful that he seemed to be fighting to the death, had no intention of fighting with the officers and soldiers. Instead, he lowered his head and ran wildly in the direction from which he came.

There were several onlookers watching the excitement. Seeing this kind of conflict with thunder and rain, they couldn't help but jeered at Xu Xian's running back. Only the officer and soldier involved looked at Xu Xian's back thoughtfully.

His palm remained on the handle of the knife for a long time.

Xu Xian turned a deaf ear to the boos behind him and just kept running in the direction where Chunxiu came from, his expression not changing at all.

His whole life seemed to have been spent in the mocking boos of others.

He had already accepted his fate, so Xu Xian no longer studied hard for fame, but worked hard to become an apprentice in a medicine hall.

But in the same way, he has never given up on the people around him. It is precisely because of this that Xu Xian tried to use the red umbrella to climb the dragon and the phoenix on the edge of the West Lake. The same thing happened tonight. It may be a

Running at night with no return.

Finally arriving at the tent where Chun Xiu was staying, Xu Xian, whose eyes were red and panting like an ox, felt a surge of blood coming out of nowhere, forcing his body, which was already at the end of its strength, to quickly complete a flying movement of lifting the curtain.

.

The moment he entered the tent, Xu Xian felt the blood rush into his throat, which turned into a loud shout: "Let that woman go!"

The four pairs of eyes in the tent all looked at the uninvited guest who broke in outside the tent. Xu Xian stood there. After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but froze in place, unable to speak for a moment.

In front of him, there was a group of three people, tied up with five flowers, lying on the ground in a row. Each of them had more or less something on their faces. Compared to their faces outside the account,

They were fierce and evil. At this time, they were simply pitiful under the threat of Chun Xiu. Although each of them had their mouths stuffed with rags, they screamed something at Xu Xian with all their strength, as if they were giving up regardless of their own safety.

A heroic man who ran away first.

Chunxiu, who was holding a giant stick, looked at the visitor and narrowed his eyes slightly. A suffocating silence suddenly filled the air.

Xu Xian was anxious to explain the terrible misunderstanding of "encouraging local gangsters to perform heroes to save beauties", but after that passionate and brave spirit, he was left with a body running wildly and panting like an ox. After working hard for a long time,

He couldn't finish what he said, which made Chunxiu, a girl with special skills, look at him more and more unkindly.

"I didn't expect that you, a scholar who seems to be so polite, would actually join them in this trick behind their backs?"

Xu Xian was at a loss for words, and he gasped and gestured: "I...not..., no..."

The three big men who were tied to the ground were also winking and trying to say something. The small tent was in a commotion. Chunxiu couldn't bear to hear it and hit the ground with the wooden stick in his hand. The force was so strong that Xu Xian

I even felt that my footing seemed a little unstable, and I was horrified. What kind of strange power is this?

The two parties who were trying their best to express their feelings suddenly fell silent. Four pairs of eyes looked at the naked girl silently and fearfully. Unexpectedly, the powerful Chunxiu girl suddenly laughed:

"Of course I know you're not."

This...seems a bit sudden.

Before Xu Xian could fully react, he suddenly heard heavy footsteps outside the tent, and then the low-covered door curtain was opened by a big old hand. It was the butler of the Lin Mansion!

After seeing the visitor, Ma Liu and the other two people lying on the ground became even more excited. Xu Xian seemed to understand what the whole thing meant.
To be continued...
