Peng San kept walking with Shu Xin and the others.

It was not until after nightfall that the carriage stopped in front of a fence gate.

Peng San just waved his whip and the door opened.

The person who opened the door was a hunchbacked old man.

"Peng San? Come in quickly!"

As he spoke, he removed the door threshold and asked Peng San to drive the carriage directly into the yard.

Shuxin observed the surrounding situation through the car curtain.

See there are trees everywhere.

It seems that this courtyard should be very remote, with no other houses around.

Shu Xin guessed that this should be the place where Peng San usually rests temporarily, and it can also be regarded as a special supply site.

After entering the yard, an old woman came out from the kitchen.

She was holding a hot towel in her hand, and she handed it to the scarred man named Peng San with a smile.

"San'er, you've worked hard! Isn't the harvest good this time?"

Peng San nodded, seeming unwilling to say more.

Just ask the old woman to serve the food quickly and bring a pot of hot wine.

The old woman agreed and happily went to the kitchen to work.

Peng Sande turned around and lifted the car curtain, asking Shu Xin and the other three to get out quickly.

Shuxin and the others were taken to a room in the north.

Then Peng San slammed the door shut.

Not long after, the old man brought Shuxin and the others a water bag and gave each of them a coarse flour steamed bun.

This is Shuxin and her friends’ dinner.

Originally Shuxin wanted to take the opportunity to ask the old man about the situation.

As a result, she found out that the old man was deaf and dumb, so she had to give up.

Shuxin had no appetite and didn't even eat the coarse flour steamed bun.

She was worried that the water might be drugged, so she didn't drink it.

Liang Xiuyuan didn't care about that. She didn't eat much for lunch and she was already hungry now.

She thought that since the man asked her to keep an eye on Shuxin and the others, he would not harm her, so she took the water from the water bag and drank it.

Tao Miaomiao wanted to snatch it back, but was stopped by Shuxin with a look.

Liang Xiuyuan fell asleep soon after drinking the water.

Shuxin looked at her like this and smiled knowingly.

It looks like there's really medicine in the water.

Tao Miaomiao and Yu Fang were both very scared. Although Shuxin said that there was probably nothing wrong with the coarse flour steamed bun, they still didn't dare to eat it.

Fortunately, there were dry food and water under the seat of the carriage. While no one was coming, Shuxin took out the dry food from underneath.

They had a quick dinner using the water they brought with them.

Then Shu Xin told the two of them to go to bed quickly and not to be discovered by Peng San.

Shuxin planned to go out and take a look using the cover of the space.

Because he keenly felt that Peng San was very cunning. He must have made some arrangements here.

They were afraid that after passing this place, Xiao Beiwang and the others would completely lose track of them.

Yu Fang and Tao Miaomiao were both very worried about Shu Xin and advised her not to go, but to wait for Xiao Beiwang and others to rescue her.

Shuxin told them her guess and told them that they must do something now.

The two were shocked when they heard this.

Tao Miaomiao was so frightened that her whole body was shaking and she almost cried, but she didn't dare to make a sound and held it back.

Yu Fang was still calm and suggested that she go with Shu Xin.

Shu Xin rejected them. If they went together, it would be too obvious and would easily attract Peng San's attention, and then nothing would be accomplished.

Seeing this, Yu Fang had no choice but to give up.

"Then go quickly and come back soon. I'll help you keep an eye on this place. If they ask, I'll say you went to the bathroom."

Yu Fang advised Shu Xin.

Shuxin nodded in agreement, then quietly left the door.

From the sound, Peng San was having dinner in the south room.

The old woman was still busy in the kitchen.

The old man is in the backyard.

Shu Xin had just walked out of the door when she was almost seen by the old man. Shu Xin immediately flashed into the space.

She hid in the space and observed the situation outside.

I saw the old man in the backyard calling the old woman to lead the donkey over.

Then Shu Xin saw that Hongying had been untied from the lasso and replaced with two donkeys pulling the cart.

Hongying seemed to have noticed something and struggled desperately in the old woman's hands, refusing to enter the stable.

The woman almost failed to hold it.

Peng San heard the noise and came out with a knife in hand.

"Damn it! Why is this horse so disobedient? Just kill it and eat its meat!"

As he said this, he raised his sword and was about to chop towards Hongying.

I see Shuxin with my eyes and feel anxious in my heart.

Hongying is quite spiritual. It would be a real pity if she died like this.

But she could only watch and could not do anything.

She stared at Peng San, her heart full of hatred.

She took a stone from the space and planned to throw it at Peng San.

Just at the moment when the knife was about to fall.

Peng San was stopped by the old woman.

"Don't mess around, San'er. This is a good horse and can be sold for a lot of money.

"It's a pity to kill him like this!"

Peng San hesitated for a moment and spat in hatred.

Then he put away his sword and went back to the house cursing.

Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the old woman took Hongying to the stable in the backyard.

Soon there was no one in the yard, and the three people were eating in the house.

Shu Xin took the opportunity to sneak into the stable in the backyard.

She came out of the space with a handful of bean cakes in her hand.

This bean cake was bought by Shuxin specially for Hongying these two days.

She found that Hongying was a troublemaker and didn't like to eat ordinary grass fodder, but only liked to eat bean cakes.

When Hongying saw her master appear, she was so excited that she almost snorted.

Shu Xin hurriedly covered its mouth and made a gesture to keep quiet.

I didn’t expect Hongying to understand.

It lowered its head and ate the bean cake obediently without saying anything else.

Seeing that no one came, Shuxin quickly untied Hongying's reins.

"Good Hongying, your master is in trouble now and cannot protect you. You should take the opportunity to escape. But don't let them find you."

Shuxin whispered in Hongying's ear, and then stuffed a handful of bean cakes into it.

Hongying quickly finished the bean cake and took the opportunity to rub Shuxin's palm.

What a smart and clever horse!

Su Xin couldn't help but admire.

Pity!

But it’s better to let it go, otherwise if it falls into that person’s hands, he might really kill it and eat its meat.

Then she asked Hongying to slip away through the back door.

When Hongying left, she looked back at Shuxin.

Then he left without looking back and rushed into the night.

Shuxin suddenly felt a little sad.

She can save Hongying, but how can she save herself?

This Peng Sand will definitely cover up their traces here.

By then, it will be even more difficult for Xiao Beiwang to find them.

No, we have to leave a mark for Xiao Beiwang and the others.

Shuxin took out a dagger from the space and planned to carve a mark on the door.

Shuxin hesitated about what to carve.

She thought about it and carved a heart shape.

This is my name, a comfortable “heart”.

Afraid that Xiao Beiwang would not be able to recognize it, she took out a handful of pepper from the space and rubbed it on the mark.

Then she blew at the pepper.

In this way, even if Peng San could find the mark and destroy it, it would inevitably leave traces of pepper.

She had used this pepper before when she and Xiao Beiwang faced life and death situations.

I just hope Xiao Beiwang can recognize her and not let her hopes be dashed.

After doing all this, Shuxin heard some noise coming from the south room.

It seems that Peng San and the others have finished their meal.

Shu Xin quickly slipped back into the room using the cover of space, closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep.

Soon she heard some noise coming from outside.
