Hearing this incomprehensible statement from the saint, Wang Lian'er suddenly became confused.
No matter how you look at it, this saintly woman sounds like a deceptive statement made by a cult.
She unconsciously lowered her head, frowned in embarrassment, and said with a guilty conscience: "Benefactor... little... little girl is just a mortal, how can she be regarded as a saint with great virtues? I'm afraid she will be a disgrace to her benefactor.
It will only damage your reputation."
At this point, Wang Lian'er seemed to suddenly think of something. She raised her head suddenly and said hurriedly, "The little girl has relatives who are high-ranking officials in the capital. Why don't you tell me the address? As long as we find the family members,
, you will definitely be rewarded with a lot of money."
The man with the broken face flashed his eyes coldly, "Do you suspect that I am a liar?"
Wang Lian'er didn't expect the man with the disabled face to speak so directly. She was so panicked that sweat dripped from her forehead. She waved her hands in a panic and hurriedly explained, "My benefactor, please don't think too much. The little girl means every word she says from the bottom of her heart, and there is absolutely no other intention?"
The man with the broken face turned his head, looked outside the door and smiled coldly, "Although you are the best candidates for saints, I never force others to do things. If you don't want to, forget it. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time.
Walk."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves vigorously and strode out of the room.
After the masked man left, Xie Qingxin, who was unconscious on the kang, suddenly opened his eyes.
Wang Lian'er was startled, and just as she was about to speak, Xie Qingxin grabbed her sister's hand, frowned and shook her head.
Wang Lian'er immediately understood that Xie Qingxin wanted her to close the door first.
Without saying anything else, Wang Lian'er got off the kang, took off her shoes, trotted forward and closed the door.
When she returned to the kang, Xie Qingxin grabbed her sister's hand again and whispered in a hoarse voice: "We'll leave tomorrow."
Wang Lian'er looked at her sister's chapped lips and the faint blood seeping out of her arms, still feeling uneasy.
But Xie Qingxin didn't give her any room to hesitate and said sternly, "I'll leave tomorrow."
The next day, she and she packed up their clothes and walked in the yard to say goodbye to their master, but there was no one in the yard.
Finally they saw a blank piece of paper in a living room-like room.
A simple map was drawn on the white paper, marking the road from here to the two sisters' home. There were also four small words on it, "No need to say goodbye."
The two sisters looked at each other, then without hesitation, supported each other and walked out of the yard.
The two sisters had a bumpy journey along the way.
The two of them had no relatives to rely on, and they had only one way to go home.
I didn't bring any dry food with me, so I could only pick up some wild fruits to eat while walking back.
At night, Wang Lian'er and her sister built a simple tree branch shelter together, and lit several fires around it, both to keep warm and to guard against sneak attacks by wild beasts.
It took them three days and three nights to return home according to the directions on the map.
Our home has been completely submerged. There are not many people left in the village. Fortunately, the flood has finally receded by more than half, and we can finally go home and find some necessary items.
Because Xie Qingxin had an arm injury, Wang Lianer ignored the mud and went into the water to go back to their homes. She found the cabinet in the bedroom where the money was hidden and took out the money. She also took out some of her father's old clothes, necessary tools and weapons.
come out.
After simply dividing the supplies, the two sisters started planning again.
As of now, they can only find a town, rent a house to live in, and then try to find some embroidery work in exchange for money.
Everything went well. The two of them simply heated a few sets of their father's old wet clothes over the fire, then carried them on their backs and set off on the road to the town.
The two sisters were walking on a mountain road, and the area affected by the flood was too wide, so the two sisters had a very difficult time walking.
Later, the two of them encountered bandits again. During the fight, Xie Qingxin's long hair was scattered, and a group of thieves suddenly laughed obscenely and surrounded the two sisters.
Wang Lian'er resisted desperately, but was eventually knocked to the ground, and the scarf that bound her hair was torn away.
As a result, the identities of both sisters were revealed.
One of the robbers grabbed Xie Qingxin by the collar and used his sleeve to wipe her dirty face, which was covered with sweat and dirt.
When the true appearance of Lushan appeared in front of several people, everyone was stunned.
Soon their shock turned into ecstasy. They stepped forward like hungry tigers and dragged the two sisters' limbs, trying to take them up the mountain.
Wang Lian'er was still struggling desperately, but Xie Qingxin remained motionless. In the chaos just now, she took the opportunity to take out a small silver hairpin from her sleeve.
Even if she were to die at the hands of these beasts, she would still have to drag down a few people to be buried with her at the most critical moment.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the other end of the road.
Immediately, two bandits came forward with knives and wanted to kill one sheep. They also slaughtered two sheep and killed the passerby too.
Unexpectedly, the other party threw out two slang words that Wang Lian'er and Xie Qingxin couldn't understand. Then the man took off his bamboo hat, but all the bandits were frightened.
