Chapter 4 The boy eating steamed buns
However, Chu Yingying was not worried at all.
Because she knew that Ge Chun not only bribed Ren Laosan who was in prison, but also bribed the guards on duty tonight to guard the city gate.
Moreover, what is even more astonishing is that Ge Chun not only cleared up all the connections in Xuancheng, he even sent people to take care of the guards at the gates of several surrounding counties in advance to ensure that tonight's escape plan was foolproof.
It’s true that money can make all the difference!
Chu Yingying shook her head and expressed her deep admiration.
As she expected, Ge Chun stepped forward and exchanged a few secret signals with the two guards. The guards immediately opened the city gate and let them out.
After leaving the city, the group did not stay for a moment and continued on their way without stopping.
This time, the large army fled in the south direction.
It seems that those few sentences he made up really made Ge Chun change his mind.
Chu Yingying was very happy when she thought of this, and she didn't feel tired when she ran.
Since everyone had slept enough during the day and had regained their energy, they all ran as fast as they could, hoping to run as far as possible. In this way, when the officials from the Yamen discovered that they were gone early tomorrow morning, they would not be able to catch up for a while.
Because the officials were not sure which direction the prisoners were running to, they would definitely split into two groups. As long as they could avoid being pursued by this group of people coming to the south, everything would be fine.
With Ge Chun's advance care, the city gates were wide open and there was no obstruction along the way.
At dawn, a group of people had arrived in Ningyang County. They ran all night and were hungry and sleepy.
Chu Yingying could no longer walk and was so hungry that she lay down on the street to rest with everyone.
Although Ge Chun was wealthy, he did not have any money with him. The servants at home would at least wait until his whereabouts were confirmed before quietly sending money over. After all, he had temporarily changed the direction of his escape.
Only Ren Laosan is a slippery man and has secretly hidden some money. Now he has no idea where he has sneaked away.
On both sides of the street, people were lying in a row. Some passers-by saw them and thought they were homeless people or beggars. They looked pitiful and threw a few coins on the ground. A group of people immediately started fighting over them.
A fight, a bloody head.
Chu Yingying had no strength to fight with them, so she moved her butt farther away, and inadvertently raised her eyes and saw the young man.
The young man huddled in a corner by himself, seeming to be chewing something slowly in his mouth, looking around with vigilant eyes like a rat stealing oil.
When his eyes met Chu Yingying's, he found that she was staring at him. He instantly became uneasy and immediately turned his body to the other side, with his back to her.
Chu Yingying felt strange, stood up holding on to the wall, walked over step by step, and then sat down next to the young man.
The young man was obviously frightened. He trembled all over and turned his head halfway to stare at her.
"What are you eating?" Chu Yingying covered her growling stomach, blinked, and asked softly.
The young man stopped chewing for a moment, shook his head in confusion, and did not speak.
"It's steamed buns? Can you give me some? I'm so hungry." Chu Yingying looked at the steamed buns tightly in his hand with longing eyes, and licked her chapped lips.
The young man was stunned when he heard this. He lowered his head and glanced at his hand. The remaining half piece of steamed bun was almost turned into crumbs by him.
He raised his head again and glanced at the little girl in front of him. Looking at her pretty face and those pure and flawless eyes, he couldn't help but blush. He hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded lightly and took out the crumbs of the bun.
Little by little it poured into her hand.
