Chapter 12 Going to Hangzhou

Once I have escaped the limelight, I must go home, kneel in front of my parents' graves, offer incense and worship, and ask them to forgive me for being such an unfilial daughter.

Chu Yingying thought with her eyes red.

"Sister, why are you crying?" Cui Yunhao looked up at her, stopped sobbing, and said with surprise on his face.

"I'm not crying, it's just that the wind and sand were so strong that my eyes were blinded." Chu Yingying wiped her eyes with her sleeves, shook her head and smiled.

"Sister, I have a suggestion, I don't know whether I should make it or not." Cui Yunhao was led forward by her, and suddenly stopped as if he remembered something.

"Just say what you want to say." Chu Yingying saw that he looked very serious and couldn't help but wonder what he was going to say.

"Sister, how about we escape to Hangzhou together."

Cui Yunhao paused and continued: "Hangzhou has beautiful scenery and is known as the 'Paradise on Earth'. It is backed by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, has convenient transportation, developed commerce, four distinct seasons, and a pleasant climate. I heard that the Legend of the White Snake is played in the playbook

The story happened in West Lake, Hangzhou."

Chu Yingying was stunned for a while after hearing this. She stared at him with confusion and said, "Little Mouse, why are you so familiar with this place? It's as if you have been there yourself."

Cui Yunhao chuckled and said: "Dad told me before that he had an old friend named Pei who settled in Hangzhou. Dad said that if he gives up in the future, he will ask me to go to Hangzhou to join Pei Shibo. Shibo will definitely

I will remember my old relationship and take good care of me."

"That's it." After hearing this, Chu Yingying nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "Hangzhou is indeed a good place, with rich products and prosperity. It is known as the 'Land of Fish and Rice' and the 'House of Silk', with sericulture, Longjing

Tea is famous far and wide, a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River. If we go there, we will be able to live well. Little mouse, I will listen to you, let’s go to Hangzhou!"

"Really? That's great." Cui Yunhao clapped his hands happily, his eyes as bright as stars, and said happily: "Sister, when we arrive in Hangzhou, go find me, Uncle Pei. If you know that I am Xuan

Cheng Cui Shangming’s son, he will definitely take us in.”

"Okay. Let's set off now. From here to Hangzhou, it will take at least two or three days, both on foot and by boat. It's getting late, and the guards in the prison have probably discovered our escape, so we need to hurry up.

, otherwise they will catch up."

He left immediately. With a determined goal in mind, Chu Yingying immediately became energetic and left Ningyang County quickly with Cui Yunhao.

On the way, I asked others about the route to Hangzhou, and spent two cents to buy a power fence to hide my true face.

It sounds easy to say, but it is very difficult to actually do it.

The biggest problem they are currently facing is not that they have to walk a long way, when their legs will become weak and the soles of their feet will have blisters, but that they do not have three meals a day, plus no water to drink, and no shelter.

A place that is protected from wind and rain allows them to have a good sleep.

In order to avoid being pursued by officials, Chu Yingying did not dare to take the official road, but chose some mountain roads or took long detours.

During the day, the two people drove non-stop, facing the scorching sun, walking with a heavy head and a heavy head.

When I'm hungry, I dig some thatch roots along the way, wash them and put them in my mouth to chew. Sometimes I'm lucky and pass by a farmer's field and eat a few sweet potatoes. When I'm thirsty, I drink the clear water from the stream and enjoy myself.

Take a few sips.

Considering that water was not always available, Chu Yingying went to the forest and picked up two small bamboo tubes to hold water.

At night, they had to squeeze in a dilapidated temple to survive the night.

Chu Yingying picked up some dry firewood and came in before it got dark, while Cui Yunhao sat on the ground and was responsible for grinding stones.

When the two stones collided to create sparks, they were then ignited with velvet grass. Soon black smoke appeared and started to crackle and burn.
