I am fish

The carriage rushed out of Xie's mansion and galloped through the streets of Qi County in the early morning against the wind and snow.

The coachman kept waving his whip, and the horse ran with spittle flying and its mane standing on end. There was no obstacle on the unmanned road, and it quickly reached the gate of the city.

Before dawn, the wind and snow continued.The high city wall of Qixian County is like a monster in the cold fog. You can't see its true appearance, but you can feel its majesty.

The torches at the gate of the city danced wildly in the wind, and the soldiers guarding the city were wearing armor, and when they saw a carriage approaching, they stepped forward to stop it.

Ah Xun lifted a corner of the curtain and handed her amulet. The soldier took a look, and it turned out to be the daughter of the prefect Xie.

Xiao's dagger stabbed Ah Xun's back, if she felt a little strange, the dagger would pass through her chest.

Ah Xun turned her head slightly, not looking at Xiao Shi who was directly behind her, her long eyelashes flickered, and she met A Lai's eyes.

The blood oozing from the wound on her neck had already dyed the clothes on her shoulders red, and when Alai found that she had put on the leather gloves given to her yesterday, he couldn't help feeling sore and even more guilty.

Seeing the tears in Alai's eyes, Ah Xun frowned and shook her head slightly, as if she was considerate and forgiving to completely isolate Alai from adult disputes.

"Open the city gate!" The soldier yelled, and the heavy red pine door slowly opened. When the coachman took the reins again, he looked back at Ah Xun.Ah Xun lowered his eyelids without giving any instructions, he understood that this was the default.

The carriage passed through the city gate, and the Xie family and his party also chased after them.

Xie Suishan saw that the city gate was opened, and Ah Xun's carriage had left the city.The terrain around Qixian County is complicated, and there are many wild roads in the mountains besides the official road. Once the carriage gets into the woods, it will be even more difficult to find.

"Chase! We must chase them back no matter what!" Xie Suishan stuffed two pieces of cloth torn from the corner of his clothes into his nostrils, his eyelashes were covered with snow and his vision was almost completely blocked.When he raised his hand to signal, the cold wind whizzed through the fur coat, making his sweaty body shiver, but his anger never stopped.

"Take the path to the south." Ah Xun heard the muffled sound of horseshoes mixed with the howling wind behind him, and knew that Xie Suishan and the others were chasing after him. Seeing that the coachman wanted to continue to run on the official road, he pointed him to another road.

Xiaoshi didn't speak, but the dagger in his hand didn't loosen either.

It is indeed an unavoidable and very risky thing to hold Ah Xun into her carriage.She used to find an excuse to go out of the city to investigate several times with Uncle Dong's order, but the terrain with mountains and water is quite complicated. Only after running for a few months can she really explore the vertical and horizontal. of.

Ah Xun and her coachman have been running around all year round, and they are very familiar with the terrain. Once they want to play tricks and deliberately let the Xie family catch up, their mother and daughter have no other choice but to kill them and take their carriage. There is one way to go.

Maybe Ah Xun noticed this, in order to save her life, she asked the driver to drive along the southern dirt road into a whole piece of dry forest.In the dry forest, the branches are intertwined and filled with thick snow. The body of Ah Xun's carriage is mostly silver, which is easy to hide.

Xiaoshi saw Ah Xun's intentions, the sound of hooves behind the car gradually weakened, and she finally retracted the dagger a little.

Ah Xun's body, which had been straightened for a long time, was finally able to relax a little.After Ah Lai healed the wound on Mother's palm, he silently took another piece of hemostatic plaster from the bag and handed it to Ah Xun. Ah Xun took it and said "thank you" softly.

Ah Xun had never been so polite to her like an outsider.

A Lai's nose was sour, he didn't expect that there would be such unexpected twists and turns in the world.She wanted to leave the Xie Mansion because she wanted to do something in the future to repay Ah Xun's kindness, but who knew that Ah Xun was injured before taking half a step.Saying goodbye now, how will Ah Xun feel when he thinks of her again in the future?A Lai feels guilty.

Xiao Shi didn't know about A Lai's sisterly affection for A Xun, and the current situation was beyond her expectation.Temporarily escaped from Xie Suishan's pursuit, Xiao couldn't help thinking about a question—why did Uncle Dong die suddenly?A few days ago, when I came to deliver the native ginseng, my body was still in good shape, I could talk and laugh, but I didn’t see each other for a few days.It is even more suspicious to hear that Uncle Dong died of drinking too much in Xie's family slave's words.Uncle Dong has been driving on dangerous mountain roads all year round, and his life would be endangered if he was not careful. Xiao knew that he rarely drank alcohol.What's more, the next day I will leave Dongchun, how can I drink to death in the room the night before?

"Where do you want to go?"

Xiao's thoughts were interrupted by Ah Xun's questioning, and Ah Xun put on the hemostatic patch, and there was no serious problem.

"Go south, please put us down when you get to the mountain in front." Xiao Shi had no intention of killing, Ah Xun asked:

"What happened? Why are you leaving?"

Seeing that her mother didn't answer, Ah Lai took the initiative to tell Ah Xun about the refugee. Xie Fu's attitude made her and her mother feel disappointed, so she decided to leave, and combined the plan of leaving the house with the coincidence of Dong Shu's death. Be honest.

"Uncle Dong is dead?" Apparently, Ah Xun didn't really believe that Uncle Dong, the most powerful coachman in the Xie Mansion, would die from drinking too much. Her expression changed, as if she had thought of something terrible.

"Sister, what have you thought of?"

"Hmm..." Ah Xun hesitated for a moment, thinking that Ah Lai was so frank and unreserved to her, she also told the truth, "Uncle Dong's death was too coincidental, Sun Mingyi died just after he was convicted of the crime of Xie's family, and he still died It's so strange that people have to wonder whether it has something to do with Sun Mingyi's remnant party."

Being reminded by her like this, Alai also remembered that when Sun Mingyi was escorted away, his chief bookkeeper shouted to avenge him, so he couldn't help worrying about A Xun's future situation.They were able to break through the Xie Mansion's heavy guards and kill people invisible and silently, maybe they are masters in the world.

"Girl." The coachman's voice sounded from outside, "There is a snow mountain ahead. The road is blocked by heavy snow, and the car cannot pass!"

"Okay, let's go here." Xiao Shi picked up the bag and prepared to get out of the car.Since Ah Xun's car can't pass, Xie Suishan's horse can't go either.At this time, he had to rely on his broken legs to escape.

"Are you going into the snow mountain?"

Xiaoshi didn't answer her.

Ah Xun originally wanted to remind that the snow in the snow mountain is very thick now, if you are not careful, you will get lost. If you can't find your way in the snow mountain, your life may be in danger.But she also understood that the mother and daughter had already decided to leave, and they would not listen to her anyway, so why bother?

"Then, take care of yourself." Ah Xun glanced at Alai, who was quiet and well-behaved today, turned his head, and shouted to the driver, "Just stop here!"

After the coachman responded, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down. When Xiao Shi grabbed the burden and was about to get off the carriage, he suddenly heard the coachman let out a strange "ah", and then fell off the horse with a sway.The horse was frightened and ran wildly in the other direction uncontrollably.

There was gravel and snow under the wheels, the car was jolted violently from side to side, and the three people in the car swayed from side to side and bumped into each other.A Lai reluctantly lifted the curtain of the car and looked out. He was shocked, and there was a cliff ahead of the galloping horse!

A Lai didn't have time to say anything, and pushed A Xun, who was sitting at the front, out of the carriage.Ah Xun rolled back and forth several times on the ground, hit his head on a tree stump and passed out.Xiaoshi and Alai were about to rush out of the carriage hand in hand, when suddenly iron chains fell from the sky and wrapped around the carriage, binding the windows and doors tightly.

Xiaoshi and Alai were cut off, but in a blink of an eye the horseshoe flew off the mountain wall and soared into the air.

Are you going to die here?

This thought flashed through Alai's mind.

Xiaoshi instinctively hugged Alai and buried her in his arms, and Alai lost consciousness in the violent collision.

I don't know how long and where he was, when Alai regained consciousness, his eyes were hard to open, and he heard the sound of running water.

Frowning and humming softly, Ah Lai felt as if all the bones in his body were broken.His head was muddled for a while, and he couldn't tell whether he was dead or alive.

During the fall of the carriage, she and her mother were dumped so badly that they didn't know when they passed out.She opened her eyes, and before she could see the things around her, her feet swayed suddenly, and she immediately turned over to avoid the crisis.Unexpectedly, just as she flew into the air, she was suddenly pulled by her feet, causing her to fall back in an instant.

The sharp pain in her left waist made her cry out, and the pain made her completely awake, and she also saw her situation clearly.

She is on a lonely boat.

The lonely boat swayed quietly on the river covered with a layer of thin ice. Her right leg was firmly locked by a chain, and the other end of the chain was tightly connected to the bottom of the boat.

How is this going!

A Lai struggled hard, and the chain thicker than his arm was ripped apart, but there was no sign of shaking.She was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, and when she moved, her waist hurt like hell, probably because her ribs were broken.After struggling a few times and losing his strength, Alai fell on the boat and gasped for breath.

The cold air on the river blew on her sweaty nose, making her shiver with cold.She thought of how she and her mother escaped from Xie's house, and how the carriage suddenly lost control and fell off the cliff.And after that?

Grandma?Mother!Grandma is not here!

Ah Lai immediately looked around to find the figure of his mother. The gray and cold river was shrouded in thick fog, and pieces of ice drifted past her eyes. Dry weeds are faintly visible.

She touched the icy river water, the piercing feeling and the pain of broken bones were so clear, she was not dead yet.Although it is cold and terrifying here, it is not the underworld.

Could it be that someone saved them?

No, if someone rescued her, how could grandma not be seen?And why put her on a lone boat and still be bound by this iron chain?She remembered that before the carriage fell off the cliff, the driver was killed and the horses were frightened, and then she was tied up when she wanted to jump off the carriage with her mother.Who is the opponent?Why do you want to do this?Even predict their course of action in advance.The fact that she and her mother were going to flee was only known to them, and they had not disclosed it to anyone.And they are just servants of the Xie family, who would go to such lengths to deal with them?Or did the other party actually come after Ah Xun?Could it be that he really belonged to Sun Mingyi?What about Ah Xun?

"Mother! Mother! Ah Xun!"

Alai yelled hoarsely, enduring the pain, but his voice was quickly swallowed up by the thick fog and disappeared above the river.

Looking at the endless river, Alai was full of thoughts.

Where is Mom now?Is it safe?She couldn't sit still, and turned the lonely boat inside and out carefully, not only did not find a single word, but she didn't even find a long pole.

She took off the belt and wrapped it around her hands, trying to reach into the river, trying to control the direction of the lone boat, when she saw a big boat coming towards her from a distance.
