Li Hu grinned and said: "There are many women changing clothes in front of me, and there are also many who are not wearing clothes. I will only count to three. If you don't change, I will do some acupuncture."
"One, two..."
She almost bit her lip and drew blood, but Zhu Huichan succumbed again. The princess's arrogance and reserve could not withstand the brutal threat of the evil forces. Fortunately, Zhu Huichan was wearing obscene clothes. Even if she had to change her outer clothes, she would not be in trouble with this bad guy. naked in front of him.
The baggage contained the cloth shirts and skirts worn by ordinary peasant women, as well as a pair of linen shoes, which were a whole size larger than the gold-painted phoenix shoes that Zhu Huichan originally wore.
"These shoes are too ugly and don't fit my feet. I won't wear them," Zhu Huichan said.
"It's okay if you don't wear any," Li Hu didn't insist this time, but added immediately: "But from now on, I will walk barefoot. Women in this country have big feet. I can borrow these clothes." It’s easy, where can you find shoes that suit you?”
No matter how ugly or big the shoes were, they were better than going barefoot. Zhu Huichan had no choice but to put on the linen shoes, but she secretly cursed, saying that she was borrowing clothes. This barbarian must have gone to the farmer's house to steal them, or else he was robbing them.
After struggling for a while, Zhu Huichan changed his clothes, and Zhu Cixiang was even slower. This prince of the Ming Dynasty usually had people waiting for him to change clothes and shoes, and he had never put on his own clothes. Moreover, at this time, he I was afraid in my heart, and my hands and feet were even more clumsy. Finally, with the help of my sister, I finally managed to complete it.
Li Hu looked at the two siblings for a few times, nodded, and said: "Take off all the jewelry on your body."
Those who resist suffer the consequences and have no choice but to do as they are told.
Li Hu stuffed the clothes that the two had changed into the bag, and then put a stone to tie it up, and sank into the pond. However, he put the jewelry and other valuable items into his pocket honestly and politely. Zhu Huichan saw this and kept cursing "big villain" and "dog robber" in her heart, but she didn't dare to speak out.
"Okay, let's hit the road now," Li Hu patted his bulging pockets and said loudly.
The so-called "go on the road" actually has several meanings. Hearing this, Zhu Cixiang shivered with fright and almost fell to the ground. Zhu Huichan quickly supported his brother, glared at Li Hu and said, "What are you going to do?" Road, where to go,"
Li Hu said: "Let's go east. Even if we tell you where we are going, you won't know. Anyway, it's about two hundred miles away."
"More than two hundred miles," Zhu Huichan was also startled and said, "It's so far away. Should we just walk like this? When can we get there?"
"These two horses are exhausted and cannot be ridden. Let's just walk first," Li Hu said nonchalantly. "We will buy horses when we encounter a market town on the road."
"How far can we find the market town?" Zhu Huichan asked.
Li Hu rubbed his head and thought for a while, then said: "It's very close. You can reach it if you walk ten miles or eight miles."
Under Li Hu's urging, the two siblings had no choice but to get up and head east.
After changing into a pair of coarse clothes, the three of them walking together would not attract anyone's attention. Facts have proved that even the prince and princess who were born with the dragon race would not be able to look like ordinary people if they did not wear brocade clothes and pearls and jade jewelry. There isn't much difference up there.
The biggest difference is probably that the leg strength of the prince and princess is much worse than that of ordinary people.
Zhu Huichan lived in the palace on weekdays, and was driven in and out by chariots. The furthest she could only walk was a hundred or so steps. This time she walked on foot. Not long after walking, her legs began to feel sore. Those ones were already too big. The linen shoes made my ankles and heels sore from the beating, and I don't know if the skin was worn out.
Zhu Cixiang's situation was even worse than that of her sister.
Li Hu followed the two of them unhurriedly, but he was calm and relaxed, and there was no sign of fatigue.
"No, I'll break my foot if I keep walking." Zhu Huichan bent over, holding his knees with both hands, out of breath, "Hey, didn't you say there is a market town within ten miles or eight miles? We have walked at least two It’s ten miles away, why can’t I even see the shadow of the market town?”
Li Hu curled his lips and said: "We have traveled twenty miles, but it is only eleven or twelve miles at most. I said before that there will be a market town within ten or eight miles, but it is just an estimate. It is not surprising if you don't see it."
"It's nothing strange. It's your fault that the estimate is inaccurate," Zhu Huichan said reluctantly, "I don't care, I can't walk anyway, and I have to go forward unless you find a mount."
Li Hu said: "This place is only fifty miles away from the capital. The news that we rushed out of the city must have reached Jinyiwei. Now a large number of officers and soldiers have probably been sent out of the city to search. Even if they don't know the direction, we are not taking the main road, but the cavalry of the officers and soldiers are still there." It’s possible to search here at any time,”
Zhu Huichan looked at Li Hu, wondering why this evil man said this to her, and said: "So what?"
Li Hu said with a gloomy face: "The officers, soldiers and cavalry are chasing me. It is difficult for me and you two to escape, so I have to kill you both with one knife. The longer you stay here, the harder it is to save your life."
It turned out that it was still a threat. Zhu Huichan was extremely angry and gritted his teeth and said: "You bad guy, I can't walk anyway. If you want to kill me, just kill me."
Li Hu's eyes widened, and he said in a vicious voice: "I have robbed you, but I haven't reaped the benefits yet. Even if you want to die now, you can't. I will count to three. If you don't leave, I won't kill you. I will only kill you first." Cut off three of your fingers,"
It was time to count to three again. Zhu Huichan's heart welled up with grief and anger, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said: "Count it, count it. You will know how to bully women and children. You are not a hero. You are young and strong. It is easy to walk dozens of miles without any trouble." , I am a woman, and my brother is only less than ten years old, so he can be the same as you everywhere,"
When Li Hu heard this, he turned to look at Zhu Cihong and saw that the little boy's face was covered in sweat and he was panting heavily. He was obviously exhausted and could barely hold on.
Li Hu frowned and said, "Okay, let's rest in the woods over there for a while before leaving."
Previously, Zhu Huichan thought the mud in the mountains and forests was too dirty, but now she no longer cared about it. As soon as she entered the woods, she sat down on the mound and couldn't get up. Her younger brother Zhu Cixiang also fell beside her.
After Li Hu checked his surroundings, he walked to a big tree and sat down cross-legged.
In fact, he was not as relaxed as he looked. The swords he suffered on Tianqiao Street were briefly bandaged when Meng Huan changed horses to meet him, but he was still in pain to this day. He couldn't help but feel tired when he ran away.
Since he couldn't leave for a while, Li Hu simply took out the wound medicine, unbuttoned his clothes, took off the bandage that wrapped the wound, and re-wrapped it with medicine.
Zhu Huichan was sitting not far away, and couldn't help but be frightened when she saw this scene.
The wounds on Li Hu's shoulders and thighs were half a foot long, and the bones were almost visible. Zhu Huichan had never seen such injuries before. She thought that a person with such serious injuries would definitely lie in bed unable to move even if he did not die of pain immediately. , but Li Hu seemed to be fine, with no expression of pain at all on his face.
In addition to these two wounds, Li Hu's body with muscles protruding like mountains was also covered with scars of different lengths. They curled up on the surface of the skin, like the stripes on a cheetah, which also made Zhu Huichan frightened.
Monster, Bull Demon King, Zhu Huichan came to a conclusion in her mind.
Li Hu didn't know that he was regarded as a monster by others. After applying the wound medicine carefully and wrapping the wound carefully, he closed his eyes and exercised his breath to regain his strength as soon as possible. He was not worried that Zhu Huichan and Zhu Cihong would escape. These two siblings are spoiled and do not know martial arts, but if they really want to run away, they will be caught by him if they can't escape ten steps.
After a meal, Li Hu opened his eyes and saw Zhu Cixiang still lying on the ground resting, but Zhu Huichan was a few feet in front of him, his eyes flickering, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"You have something to say," Li Hu asked.
Zhu Huichan hesitated for a while and then said: "I just want to ask, aren't you hungry?"
He had set up an ambush on Tianqiao Street early in the morning, and most of the day had already passed. Of course, Li Hu was also a little hungry, but to him, this little hunger was nothing. And this princess would ask this, thinking about it It was she who was hungry.
Li Hu made a serious face and said: "The pursuers will come at any time. Even if you are hungry, you don't have time to eat. Go and wake up your brother. Let's get on the road now."
As soon as he heard that he was going on the road again, Zhu Huichan immediately pouted and said: "Neither Ahang nor I have had lunch, how can we walk now? Ahang is just a child and cannot afford to be hungry."
Just now, Li Hu agreed to take a rest because he saw Zhu Cixiang was exhausted. Zhu Huichan saw it all. She was a smart-minded person. At this time, she lifted her brother out again in order to win some sympathy from the Bull Demon King.
But this time, Li Hu seemed to have no sympathy at all and said coldly: "Who said children can't go hungry? Do you know how many meals I ate a day when I was your brother's age?"
Zhu Huichan said: "You have to eat two or three meals."
Li Hu snorted and said: "At that time, it was good for me to have one full meal a day, and it was common for me not to eat even one meal. The longest one lasted for five days, and I didn't find anything to eat."
"Five days,"
Going without food for five days was a bit unimaginable for a delicate princess like Zhu Huichan who lived in the palace. She couldn't help but ask: "Don't your parents and family give you food?"
Li Hu said: "It's because my father died that I starved."
A chill flashed in his eyes, and he asked again: "Do you know how my father died?"
Zhu Huichan said: "I don't know."
Li Hu said: "He was killed by officers and soldiers."
Zhu Huichan was stunned for a moment. The father of the Bull Demon King died in the hands of officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers represented the Ming Dynasty, that is, the emperor.
