She first asked Zhu Yan to take off his clothes and soak them in the water, and then threw the torn sack into the water.
"Wash yourself clean first, and I'll bring you some clothes later."
Standing on the shore, looking at the shy young man with only a small head exposed, Lin Mengya said softly.
"You will come back, right?"
The young man saw her turning her head and suddenly said anxiously.
Seemingly understanding what he really meant, Lin Mengya turned her head and smiled at Zhu Yan.
"Well, I'll be back."
No matter it is here or in Dajin, she will return victoriously.
Several famous residences, the layout is simple and clear.
There are yellow dogs tied up in the yard and a group of chickens, ducks, geese and pigs are kept in the yard, which is full of the most simple life atmosphere.
"Excuse me, is anyone home?"
She randomly found a house with the most spacious and clean courtyard, stood at the door and asked loudly.
"Who is it?"
A slightly elderly voice responded to her, and then an old woman with gray hair but good spirits walked out of the house.
"Auntie, I'm passing by and want to ask you to buy some clean clothes."
The old woman was a little wary when she saw her at first, but after seeing that she was a thin young man, she gradually let go of her wariness.
"Oh, if you want to buy clothes, you can go to the city and buy them. Where can we buy clothes from a country like us?"
Lin Mengya also knew that she looked a little strange, but fortunately she had already made up the story, and said with a drooped face.
"Oh, isn't it? My young master is very naughty. He came to Jincang City with my master to watch the fun, but who knew that he met a group of robbers last night. I don't know how scary they were. Fortunately, they only robbed money and didn't...
It hurt the lives of our master and servant. We hid in the woods all night, thinking that we would go to the city to find our master at dawn. Who knew that my young master was so stubborn that he said his clothes were dirty?
Let me get him new clothes to wear. Tell me, where can I find new clothes for him in this barren mountain?"
She behaved appropriately, like a servant embarrassed by her master's unreasonable demands.
The aunt seemed to have met a close friend. She held her hand cordially and stretched her neck out to look around.
"Isn't that right? Last night, I had already fallen asleep. Who knew it was so lively outside? The sky was falling and the earth was falling. Why, my family was taken away by the city guards before dawn today?
I heard that things that were not human entered the mountains. So we called several hunters away."
Old women in the countryside are like this. As long as it is a topic that interests them, they will naturally talk about it endlessly.
After Lin Mengya listened patiently to what she said, she also took out a piece of paper that had been deliberately rubbed. The crumpled small banknotes were exchanged for some clean clothes and food.
Leaving Orion's home with great gratitude, Lin Mengya returned to the river.
Zhu Yan was still soaking in the water, but there was an anxious look between his eyebrows.
"You can make do with something to eat first, we have to get into the city as soon as possible."
Frowning, Lin Mengya was a little worried.
Although in terms of numbers, Nie Qing and the others definitely have the advantage.
But in that kind of situation with bare hands, I'm afraid it won't last long.
She must get some supplies and reinforcements as soon as possible, and find a way to eliminate the negative impact of this incident.
Zhu Yan knew the importance and had no time to dislike it.
After getting out of the water and putting on the oversized coarse cloth clothes on the boat, Lin Mengya pulled off a small strip of cloth and tied up the boy's hair.
After being cleaned, Zhu Yan was still the handsome young man.
Although this kid is used to being wild in the mountains and forests, the pride in his bones is still there.
From where he stood, his eyes, attitude, and temperament all looked like a young man from a rich family.
It's just that his eyes occasionally turn, exuding an untamed wildness, which is somewhat intimidating.
The two simply ate and drank something, changed their clothes, and started walking towards Jincang City following their memories of last night.
On the way, she regained her original facial features.
Yesterday she was too popular. If that were the case, someone would definitely recognize her.
But the original appearance was not very convenient, so she had no choice but to let her hair down, lower her head and follow behind Zhu Yan.
The young man also deliberately walked in front of her, shielding her from those unintentional glances.
Finally, before sunset, they arrived at the gate of Jincang City.
Jincang City was under martial law. Although this was expected, it also blocked their only way into the city.
Her high-definition and uncensored portrait is posted on the bulletin board at the city gate.
In fact, she doesn't look much like herself, and she even vaguely portrays her as a tough man.
But they still had to be careful.
"How do we get in?"
The two people were hiding not far away, looking at those people.
Now, almost everyone who enters the city must be interrogated.
Yesterday, she rode Xiaobai and Xiaohu.
The one hiding behind the scenes
People who come later will most likely guess that the man may be her in disguise.
Moreover, Jincang City is now under the control of the Rong family and the Xu family. If they have colluded with the people behind the scenes to deal with the Gong family, I am afraid that she may fall into the hands of those people as soon as she is recognized.
in hands.
Therefore, she must think of a foolproof plan.
"Let's wait and see if there is any suitable opportunity."
She took Zhu Yan and hid in the woods on the roadside.
Seeing that it was getting dark and the city gate would be closed, Lin Mengya and Zhu Yan couldn't help but feel a little more anxious.
If they can't get in, they might have to sleep in the wilderness.
Now, nowhere is safe anymore.
The two of them endured, but they were thinking about how to enter the city.
The sky is getting dark, and the setting sun is about to put away its last rays of light.
Lin Mengya and Zhu Yan also came out of the woods, because there were not many pedestrians on the road, and few people would notice them.
Anxiety appeared on the eyebrows of these two people.
Lin Mengya thought about it again and again, and felt that waiting like this was not an option.
Maybe the light was dim now and the city guards might not be able to recognize her face.
It's a pity, if there was a silver needle, she could have used other cover-ups.
After she sighed slightly, she suddenly touched the banknote that was well hidden in her arms.
Originally, she didn't want to touch these things.
But for a while she had no other good ideas.
"Zhu Yan, we'll be there soon"
There was still half an hour before the city gate closed, when a young boy with fine features suddenly walked over to the city gate.
But he was wearing coarse clothes that didn't fit him and were half-worn.
The city guard didn't think too much. He thought it was a child from some family who came out to play. He wanted to pull him over and let the people behind him take a closer look.
But the young man was suddenly grabbed by the arm by a person who came in a hurry.
"Brother, I'm still a little worried."
The man's voice was thin and hoarse, and he seemed to be a woman.
After the young man glanced at the city guard, he was pulled aside by the woman.
"Is it really safe for us to do this?"
The woman's voice was not loud, but she was still 'accidentally' heard by one of the city guards.
His brows immediately furrowed. Could it be that these two guys are what he is looking for?
But the boy's following words made him stop in his tracks.< br>
"Don't worry, sister, it's very safe there. Besides, who would have known that there would be so much money buried in the wild mountains? We can just wait until we come out of the city tomorrow and take it with us when we go home.
"
Money, and it seems to be quite a lot.
Out of greed, the city guard calmly took a step towards the two siblings, trying to hear more clearly.
But the two people's voices were softer and they seemed more cautious.
"But, I'm still worried. Why don't we take it with us?"
"What to bring? You forgot, the last time we stayed at my uncle's house for a night, he stole all the dozens of taels we asked for back. If dad hadn't said he was sick and asked us to go see him, I would
I’m not coming!”
The young man said something angrily and kicked the city wall to vent his anger.
The woman pulled his arm and comforted him softly.
"Weren't we unprepared last time? Look, this time we were wearing old clothes and shoes, and even the carriage didn't let them get to the city gate. I don't think he knew how much money we had with us, right?
And I think the city gate is about to close, and we may not be able to make it in time. Why don’t we just fool around outside all night, and just say that we have gone to see uncle. I still feel that there is something wrong with the silver being only pressed with stones.
"There are so many stones in the forest, what if we can't find them tomorrow?"
The guard's eyes lit up, and it turned out that these two were actually wealthy children in disguise.
No wonder he would come up with such a crappy way to hide money.
But where did they hide the money?
Resisting the desire to press for questioning, the city guard pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between the two siblings.
The young man looked around cautiously before speaking into the woman's ear.
"Don't forget, didn't we use stones to build a small platform? I don't see anything similar around there. Don't worry, the two of us will come out as soon as it gets light tomorrow, okay?"
The woman was still hesitant and wanted to persuade her brother to leave.
When the city guard heard about the location of the hidden silver, he was secretly happy.
He was tormented before dawn last night. It seemed that God was kind to him and actually gave him such a big surprise.
It's just that he has to get rid of the two siblings.
Seeing that his brothers were about to close the city gate, the city guard got worried and shouted at the two siblings.
"If you two don't come in, the city gate will be closed! Let me tell you, there are not many people around here. If you two don't come in, if you encounter a bandit, your life will be in danger!"
The two siblings were startled. When the younger brother heard that he was worried, he immediately took his sister's hand and went inside the city gate.
