I am fish

It is very exciting for every newborn calf to leave the Xie family and start a new life.

Alai tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep, imagining all kinds of things after dawn and the freedom after completely getting rid of Xie's family.

The sky was about to turn white, Xiao Shi woke up, and gently lifted the window to take a look. The two house servants in charge of guarding were sitting in the corner sleeping and drooling.Xiaoshi pushed the door and went out, the servants got up immediately when they heard the movement, Xiaoshi slashed the back of the neck with one hand and the other, they all fell back without a word.

A Lai poked his head out from behind the door with his bundle in his arms, and said joyfully, "Mum, this move is really powerful! A Lai wants to learn it!"

"With your current strength, you can't do it for the time being. It doesn't matter, we will have time in the future." Xiao Shi pressed her back and looked around vigilantly, "Let's go!"

Uncle Dong's car to give the bride price was already prepared, and the last box was packed last night, and he had to set off early this morning in order to hurry.

The carriage was on the west side of the back door of the Xie Mansion, only a wall away from the room where Alai and the others lived, so it was convenient for them to go there.In the midwinter morning, the sky was full of ice and snow, and there was no light in the entire Xie Mansion, and all movements were covered by the howling wind.Alai's mother and daughter came to the carriage smoothly, vacated half of the box full of dry goods and hid it, got in, and waited quietly for Uncle Dong's arrival.

Xie Mansion South Courtyard, Groom Room.

The burnt oil lamp had already turned cold, like Uncle Dong's corpse lying on the ground.

He was still holding the wine glass in his hand, and he could still read the astonishment and fear before he died from a pair of round eyes.

The door of the room was half-closed, and a gust of wind blew it, swaying and bumping, as if it would be smashed to pieces in the next moment.

A Lai's head suddenly fell, and he woke up from the vague dream.

She dreamed that the carriage was galloping all the way out of Qixian County, outside Qixian County, the spring was warm and flowers were blooming, she folded a flower and gave it to her mother, who smiled brightly at her.

But when I woke up from the dream, I saw that they were still in the dark box, motionless with no signs of bumping, and the carriage hadn't set off yet?

Xiaoshi slightly opened the top of the box and looked out, a light was reflected in Xiaoshi's eyes.Alai was obviously startled when she saw her, and immediately closed the top of the box and sat back.

"What's wrong?" Alai asked hastily.

"Hush." ​​Xiaoshi told her to keep quiet.

There was a sound of footsteps and horseshoes from a distance, Alai listened intently, and a group of people soon came to the New Year's ceremony car.

"It's really unlucky. I have to travel all the way to Dongchun in such a cold day. The old guy died at a bad time."

Alai was somewhat familiar with this young man's voice, but he couldn't remember it for a while, but this person was not Uncle Dong anyway.Then, a voice that she least wanted to hear sounded impatiently:

"It's still too late for you to get out now, I just want to keep one less useless dog."

Xie Suishan? !

A Lai is like five thunderbolts, why did Xie Suishan come here?

Xie Suishan was riding on a horse, covered in a fur coat and animal fur hat with only a pair of eyes left.The servant who complained just now hastily apologized.

Xie Suishan glanced at the New Year's ceremony carriage, there were three horses in total, and the carriage was full of large and small boxes.Since he can remember, the gifts sent to Dongchun every year have been more than a few, and his father has always attached great importance to maintaining the relationship with the Dongchun clan.The road to Dongchun is full of twists and turns, and the mountain roads are slippery and dangerous in winter. Only Uncle Dong has the driving skills in Xie Mansion to go back and forth safely.

This year is really bad, not to mention a homeless incident, the car for the New Year ceremony is ready, Uncle Dong suddenly drank too much and died in his room.Originally, the annual gift had nothing to do with Xie Suishan's penny, but as soon as the news of Uncle Dong's death was reported, his mother ran into his room wearing stars and wearing moons, dragged him up, and sent him to Dongchun to give gifts!

Mother said that Uncle Dong died suddenly, and it was difficult for father to find someone to replace him.New Year's Eve is approaching, and New Year's gifts must be given.He just made a big mistake, and his father's anger is still there. If he can volunteer to deliver the annual gift, his father will definitely treat him differently, and he will forget about the refugee after a while.What's more important is that the Dongchun clan are all important ministers in the court. Let him show his face to get closer. After he becomes an official, the relationship between the Xie family clan will definitely be of great benefit to his official career.

What mother said was right, Xie Suishan had no room to refute even though he was lazy, so he had to take his entourage and prepare dry food and hurried on the road.

Their two casual sentences made Alai's mother and daughter who were hiding in the box terrified.

Does the old guy mean Uncle Dong?Uncle Dong is dead?

Possibly, Xie Suishan would not have been able to come here if Uncle Dong hadn’t had an accident. It seemed that he would go to Dongchun instead of Uncle Dong.

Xiaoshi held Alai's hand tightly, signaling her to calm down and wait for the changes.

In fact, it doesn't matter if Uncle Dong or Xie Suishan escorts the New Year gift, as long as the carriage goes out of the city for more than half a day, they can leave Qi County.At dusk, they must find a place to stay, and then it is a good time to get off.Even if there is still some distance to Nanpu, Xiaoshi seems to have been waiting for the day when he will leave the Xie Mansion, and he has saved a lot of silver, and he can still reach Nanpu by hiring another carriage.The wind and snow all over the sky can also help them hide their whereabouts. Even if Xiao's legs and feet are inconvenient, Xie Suishan notices that they have escaped, and it will not be easy to find them for a while.

A Lai forcibly calmed down his beating heart and waited for the carriage to start on the road.

Xie Suishan threw a stack of New Year's gift list to the servants, and asked them to check the markings on the box. After the check was correct, they tied the hemp rope that passed through the small hole at the bottom of the box around the cart, and they raised their whips to set off on the road.

Just as Xie Suishan's car took two steps, a group of house slaves rushed up from behind the horse team and rushed out.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Xie Suishan asked curiously, stopping them.

"Back to the eldest son, the mother and daughter of the Xiao family have escaped, Mr. Xie ordered us to hunt them down immediately!"

"They ran away?!" Xie Suishan raised an eyebrow, thinking that this unlucky mother and daughter would be furious, and he dared to run away before he had a chance to take care of them. "Isn't someone guarding the door of their house? People ran away?"

"Back to the eldest son, the guards were knocked out by them."

"Useless dog slaves, even a cripple and a child can't stand it! What use are you!"

The slave who reported back to him was speechless for a while, and could only be scolded.

Wait, lame?

Xie Suishan thought about it and found it strange: "There are people guarding the front and back of Xie's mansion. It is not easy to leave quietly. Moreover, this ugly woman cannot run too fast because of her inconvenient legs. If she escapes on foot, I can catch up with Xie's fast horse immediately." I'm afraid this pair of lowly slaves has a plan long ago, and if you chase after them rashly, it will definitely fail."

"Please tell me, my lord!"

Xie Suishan slowly looked around Xie's mansion, his mount leisurely spun around in place, turned half a circle, and finally his eyes fell on the New Year's gift car full of large boxes.

Not to mention two people in such a big box, even twice as many people can hide in it.

Xie Suishan laughed out loud, drew his long knife from its sheath, and shouted: "Come on! Open all the boxes! I want to see who can stop me from killing this pair of self-defeating bastards this time." slave!"

"Yes!"

Xie Suishan ordered the servants to quickly and violently open the box from both ends of the carriage. The packaged New Year gifts were opened and turned into a mess, and if the box was full of dry things, they would insert a knife to test it.

The sound of the tops of the boxes colliding with each other was loud, and Xie Suishan swayed gently on the horse, watching the two largest boxes that were about to be opened, squinting his eyes and waiting for a pleasing scream.

The two boxes were opened at the same time, and there was no one inside after a search.

The house slaves who searched obviously agreed with Xie Suishan, thinking that the mother and daughter of the Xiao family must be hiding inside, but unexpectedly, they turned to Xie Suishan and looked at each other blankly.

Xie Suishan frowned, did he guess wrong?But it was absolutely impossible for a cripple and a yellow-haired girl to sneak out of the yard full of guards without making a sound.He got off his horse, walked up to the two largest boxes with a knife in his hand, and poked them hard a few times himself.After confirming that no one was hiding, he was feeling puzzled when suddenly a heavy box top flew from the side and hit him right in front of the door.Xie Suishan let out an exclamation and fell back, being protected upright by two servants.

It turned out that their mother and daughter were not hidden in the largest box, but shrank in the small box that was not eye-catching.

"You two..." Xie Suishan's face was full of nosebleeds, and he pointed at Xiaoshi with his head exposed, and the words of abuse started, and Alai jumped from the box and kicked him hard in the chest, making the three of them They all fell to the ground.

When Alai's leg flew out, Xiao Shi had already crawled out of the box, picked up a stone on the ground and slapped the two house slaves who were about to attack unconscious.

Unexpectedly, the mother and daughter, who usually don't say a word, are so powerful when they make a move, and the surrounding servants dare not step forward for a while.

This lowly slave was so bold, Xie Suishan was so frightened and furious, he got up from the ground and shouted: "Dog slave! Why are you standing there! Hurry up and take them down!"

"Yes!"

"Mother, let's kill!" Alai picked up Xie Suishan's long knife that fell to the ground, protected Xiao with one hand, and rushed towards the gate of Xie's mansion skillfully wielding the long knife.Several house slaves wanted to step forward to stop them, but they were forced back by the imposing Daohua.

Xiao Shi gritted her teeth and charged, she understood that as slaves, they ran away privately, and the Patriarch had every right to dispose of their lives.At this time, they have put all their eggs in one basket and must not be captured here.

But Alai is small and weak. If she was the only one, she might be able to break out of the encirclement with her lightness and dexterity. However, with her inconvenient legs and feet, she would never be able to resist a dozen well-trained and strong house slaves.Xiaoshi and Alai said:

"If I'm captured, you hold Xie Suishan out of the city, and you don't have to come back to save me! Grandmother has her own way to escape. Do you hear me!"

A Lai kept swinging the long knife, although he was dexterous and fast, he was lacking in strength. He gradually lost his strength, and after struggling to fend off the left and right flanking attacks of two house slaves, he turned around and said urgently, "Mum! I can't." ..."

As soon as Ah Lai turned her head, a long sword struck straight at her back.Xiao's backhand pulled Alai away, and he grabbed the sword's edge with his bare hands.The sword-wielding servant couldn't move forward while drawing his sword. This lame slave woman had such great strength that she was actually above him!

Xie Suishan, who was standing on the side, had no idea that the mother and daughter had kung fu on them. Although there were a large number of house slaves around, they were a little timid, and they did not restrain the two for a long time.He drew the knife of others and stepped forward angrily:

"Useless stuff! Kill them! Do you want me to do it myself?!"

Someone whispered in his ear: "My lord, don't be upset! Xie Gong said that we want us to capture him alive, and we can't hurt his life."

Xie Suishan's nosebleed was like a long red beard: "What?! It's a felony for a lowly slave to flee, and it's not an exaggeration to be skinned and cramped. My father actually wants to keep them alive?!"

While talking, seeing Alai's mother and daughter rushing to the door, Xie Suishan pushed away the people who stopped him and ran out.

Why is the father so tolerant of this mother and daughter?Is it true that it is not possible to let Alai enter the Xie family tree as people say?What a big joke!As long as he is still alive, this will never be allowed to happen!They must be killed here today!

"Young master! No! Young master!"

Xie Suishan was red-eyed, and a group of people wanted to stop Xiao's mother and daughter and persuade him, they were in a hurry.Unexpectedly, Xie Suishan was so angry that he stabbed his slave in the abdomen with a knife.

"Any more blockers will end up like this!"

The servants neither dared to hurt Xie Suishan nor disobeyed Xie Taihang's order, but instead gave Alai a chance, he slashed harder with the knife in his hand, kicked away the two guards holding wooden sticks at the door and bumped into Xiaoshi together. out.

Ah Xun was out running all night last night, inspecting the resettlement situation of the refugees, turning around and recording what he saw one by one, and was going to discuss with his father when he came back.

Her carriage stopped in front of the mansion, and when she heard the sound of fighting weapons coming from inside, she pulled out her whip in her heart, and asked while lifting the curtain, "What happened?"

The accompanying maid exclaimed in surprise. Before Ah Xun could see what had happened, she saw a black shadow pounced on her in the hazy morning light, and pushed her back into the carriage.

The whip in Ah Xun's hand was about to be swung, and someone grabbed it immediately. The force was so great that she couldn't pull it back. She couldn't use it in the narrow carriage, but was firmly suppressed.

When a strong smell of blood came into her senses, she saw clearly that the person suppressing her was actually Xiaoshi!And Alai was right behind her!

A Xun was stunned: "A Lai? You..."

Before she could finish speaking, people surrounded the carriage, and Xie Suishan followed him with curses: "No one is allowed to run away!"

Xiaoshi held Ah Xun in front of her with a backhand, pulled out a gleaming dagger from his sleeve, and pressed it against her neck.

Alai whispered anxiously: "Mum! Don't hurt sister!"

The Xiao family changed from the usual obedient and honest appearance, and forced Ah Xun to the car door with a knife: "Ah Xun, don't panic, I won't kill you, but right now I have to borrow your status as the first daughter of the Xie family. Please You ask the groom to drive out of the city, and he will let you go when it is safe."

Xiao's dagger was extremely sharp, and it was tightly attached to Ah Xun's neck. If she was not careful, her blood would splatter on the spot.

A Lai was at a loss, she had no idea that things would turn out to this point, and she didn't want to embarrass A Xun at all.

Kaoru collected herself and opened the curtain of the car, and everyone outside could see the dagger on her neck.

"Stand back." Ah Xun said.

The house slaves were already in a dilemma. Seeing the girl was captured and asked them to retreat, they had no choice but to make way slowly.

Xie Suishan was already very angry, and laughed instead: "Okay! This bold slave has actually threatened the master!"

Xiao shouted: "Young Master Xie, our mother and daughter only want a way out! If you let us go, we won't hurt a single hair of the girl. If not..." Xiao's hand holding the dagger became a little heavier With a strong force, a bloody gash was cut on Ah Xun's neck immediately, bleeding bright red.

Shocked, Ah Xun hurriedly shouted: "Still not retreating! Are you trying to kill me?" Immediately she said to the groom, "Hurry up! Get out of the city!"

The groom saw that Xie Suishan hesitated and didn't speak, so he had to obey Ah Xun's order, and tremblingly picked up the whip and whipped it on the horse's buttocks.The horse galloped in pain, knocked away Xie Suishan and his party, and headed towards the city gate.
