Chapter 55 Dead End(1/2)

Li Ran felt that the frequency of horse jumping increased, and she should have left the road and entered the woods.

Every time the horse's hooves landed on the ground, they would step on the fallen leaves and break the dead branches. The raised dead branches hit the cloth bag above her from time to time. The branches growing across the cloth bag were slapped outside the cloth bag, making her face hurt.

The horse rushed across a small river, perhaps a mountain stream, and the water splashed up, wetting the cloth bag and also wet Li Ran's head, face and feet.

The time for changing horses this time was about half an hour earlier than the last time.

Li Ran was still thrown up and threw herself to another horse.

It was already late at night, and Li Ran's cloak was thrown away before it was put into a cloth bag. At this moment, her hair was soaked and her boots were filled with water. Although the thin cloth bag was strong, it could not stop the cold wind. Li Ran shivered coldly.

Maybe she felt her chills, and the horse was strangled a little slower. Li Ran lifted the cloth bag slightly, and a fur cloak was wrapped around the cloth bag.

Li Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She could wrap her this cloak for a while, at least she had no worries about her life.

The surroundings were very quiet, the sound of branches and fallen leaves disappeared, the sound of horse hooves was no longer loud, and the sound of hitting the ground was heavy and dull. This was wrapped around the horse hooves, and they began to hide their whereabouts as much as possible.

It seems that the process of circling around and throwing away the pursuers is over, and they begin to go to where they are going.

Li Ran bit the tip of her tongue and kept awake enough.

This time when the horsepower was exhausted, Li Ran was thrown into a car.

Someone untied the cloth bag, pushed and pulled it, and shook Li Ran out.

"Well!"

The one who shook out Li Ran was a very kind-faced woman. She stared at Li Ran and was covered in vomit all over her body, her face and head were covered in her head. With a nauseous sound, she almost vomited.

Li Ran slowly sat up, her back against the carriage, looking at the woman.

"I'm sorry for the girl. I'll ask them to pick up the water and wipe it." The woman leaned back even harder, leaning against the carriage board closer than Li Ran.

It’s not because I’m afraid of Li Ran, but because the place where Li Ran just now was exposed was full of vomit that was so dirty that I didn’t see, which was really disgusting.

The woman knocked on the car window hard, and the car window opened from outside. The woman stretched her head out, didn't know what she said, and retracted her head, looking at Li Ran and laughed, "Miss, bear it, let's find a place to bathe and wash."

Li Ran didn't say anything or move. Under the light in the carriage, she looked at the mother quietly. When the mother finished speaking, she lowered her eyelids.

Just now when the car window opened, she saw a few rays of morning light. It should be before six o'clock in the morning. Well, there is no big difference in her estimate of the time she is on the right track.

Those rays of morning light gave her a feeling of rushing towards her. There was the east there, and the car was either north or south, not north, but should be south.

Is it in the direction of Jinghu?

The car ran for nearly an hour and stopped.

The car door opened, and the woman jumped out of the car first, reached out to help Li Ran, but reached halfway through her hand, but she hesitated again. The girl's body was so disgusting.

Li Ran didn't use her to help her, and slowly moved to the door of the car and got out of the car.

The car door faced a door. The distance between the car door and the door was only one or two feet apart. There were high and black steps on both sides. Within the steps, there were only her and the mother-in-law.

Li Ran lowered her eyelids and went straight into the house.

There are all hot water, buckets, baths, beans, and veils in the house. There are red-hot charcoal basins placed in the corners. The number of charcoal basins and the prosperity of charcoal fire make the house warm and dull and hot.

Li Ran took off her clothes, scooped water to wash her hair, and then rinsed it with water to rinse it, and then stepped into the bucket.

That night, she was so cold that she had to soak it well to drive away the cold air.

She doesn't want to die, so it's better not to fall ill now. Fortunately, she is much stronger now than when she first entered the capital.

After soaking for a while, Li Ran reached out and took the bath beans from the bath bean box next to her, put them in water for a while, pinched them hard, smelled them carefully, and looked carefully.

This is the best bath bean in Yunxiangtang. Yunxiangtang used to be a time-honored brand in Rong'an City, but now it is the most popular rouge and powder shop in Beijing.

Li Ran felt sweaty, and slowly washed her hands and face with bath beans, came out of the bucket, scooped water and washed it all over again, wiped it dry, and the woman who had been standing next to her hurriedly held her clothes and brought it to her.

Logically speaking, she should serve the girl to take a bath, but at first she was so disgusting. When Li Ran started to take off her clothes, the calmness and the step-by-step process of scooping water and purging her hair made her feel like she couldn't intervene. In addition, the indifference that Li Ran revealed all over her body, the refusal of thousands of miles away, and the bloodline made her feel countless timid.

Li Ran put on her clothes, bent down and drooped her head, and wiped the water from her hair with a veil.

It was almost done, and Li Ran continued to put on her clothes and looked at the old lady.

The woman was so panicked that she saw her, "If the girl is, we have to hurry up."

Li Ran raised her foot and walked towards the closed door.

The woman reacted, took a step forward, patted the door and shouted, "Girl is OK."

The door was pushed open from outside, but the door was still facing the car door, and the two obstacles were still there. Li Ran didn't look straight and got into the car.

The preparations in the car have been changed.

The woman hurriedly followed into the car, and the door slammed out from outside. Almost at the same time, the car rushed forward.

After closing the door, the carriage was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.

Li Ran moved and lay down against one side of the carriage.

In the car, she could feel too little information. Oh, no matter how much information she felt, what's the use? No matter which side of the car, they knew too much more than her. She should take a break, keep up and not fall ill.

When the old woman touched the scythe, turned on the fire and lit the lamp, Li Ran had already curled up, closed her eyes, breathed for a long time, and she fell asleep.

The old lady looked at it for a moment, bowed her body and took a silk quilt, and carefully covered it with Li Ran.

The carriage was dark and sunny. Li Ran, based on her extremely regular biological clock, and stopped to eat twice a day, counting one day, another day

She was run on the horse for a night, and in this tight carriage, she ran day and night for three days and two nights. The middle carriage was lifted up and changed three times. I don’t know if the wheels were broken or if the carriage was changed to cover up.

Every time Li Ran counts one day, her heart sinks a little. The further she is from the capital, the smaller the chance she can survive and return to the capital alive.

The emperor threw her out as live bait, and he would not care whether her bait could be taken back.

In a sense, if her bait is swallowed or died while being bitten by the bait, it will be the best result. In this way, the Xin Dynasty will have countless room for performance, which will be the most beneficial to the Xin Dynasty and the Emperor.

As for the other side, she was not interested in restoring the country, establishing the country, or similar great achievements.

The bloodline in her is even more simple and clear: true respect and obedience to this bloodline is to follow the will of Renzong. Either die as a member of the Lu family, or to follow the will of heaven and live well, but to be in a status that has nothing to do with the Lu family.

Although she really wants to live, she won’t do anything for the sake of living, such as playing a restorer who pretends to have a family of hatred and national hatred.

If she can't cooperate with them, it's better to die than to live.

Alas, for both sides, her death is more valuable than her life.

The only difference is that at whom she died.

The emperor of Xinchao must want her to die at the hands of the other side. On the other side, he must want to firmly and accurately hold her to the heads of Xinchao and the emperor.

Both sides are willing to die, and they all hope that she will die at the other party's hands, or, it seems, die at the other party's hands.

There is a way out in the middle.

Li Ran lay quietly in the bumpy carriage, closing her eyes, thinking about her situation little by little, and carefully observing the surroundings between getting on and off the car, calculating the time one by one.

Another day and night, at night, the car entered the forest.

After that, the car ran faster and faster, the road was bad, or there was no road at all.

Li Ran pressed against the carriage board with her ears on the pillow, listening to the dense and slight sound of the wheel pressing over the dead branches, the branches kept passing through the carriage and breaking, and those subtle but harsh sounds.

According to the speed of the car, the car is not too bumpy, because the leaves are piled up very thickly at the place where they pass.

When she got off the bus several times, she was roughly sure that they took her and went south and westward toward Jinghu.

On the night she left outside Jin Mingchi, she was thrown away three times and changed to horses four times. The horse was extremely fast. At that speed, the horse could only run about 100 kilometers. That night, it should have been 400 kilometers, but that night, she should have taken many roads to get rid of the followers behind. She couldn't figure out how many roads she had walked.

The speed of the carriages is slightly slower during the day, so they need to be similar to the carriages on the road to avoid being noticeable. They are much faster at night than during the day, so they travel day and night, one day and one night, three to five hundred kilometers.

At this moment, she should soon enter the north of Jinghu North Road.

That is where the army of the Xin Dynasty has not arrived and has not yet been included in the territory of the Xin Dynasty.

The carriage ran wildly all night with thick fallen leaves and dead branches.

When it was dawn, Li Ran sat up and squinted her eyes at the car window that had been removed from a slit.

It seems that they have reached a place they feel safe.

I don't know where her destination is and how far it is.

When the sun was shining, the car did not stop and eat as usual. Li Ran sat up again, and it seemed that she was about to get to the place.

After walking for another half an hour, the shadows of trees outside the car window swayed, slowed down and stopped.

The car door opened, and the woman breathed a sigh of relief, jumped down first, and reached out to help Li Ran.

Li Ran ignored her, moved over, sat at the door of the car, and looked around first.

There are high and black step barriers around, and there are still only her and the old lady inside the step barrier.

Li Ran got out of the car, followed the steps and entered the room with one light, two dark and three dark rooms.

In the door, two young girls of seventeen or eighteen were standing on the left and right. They looked nervous and wanted to see her but didn't dare to look at her.

Li Ran ignored the two of them, stood in the middle of the room, and slowly turned around and looked around.

There is a few in the outer room, next to two chairs, two rows of chairs on both sides, and the bedroom on the left is a very simple bed, with only four pillars standing up, thick curtains hanging, facing the window of the bed, a short couch. On the right is a study room, just a table and a chair.

Li Ran walked straight to the bed, lifted the quilt and fell asleep.

She didn't fall asleep that night. She hadn't had a good sleep for several days, and she didn't know what to do after a while.
To be continued...
