Chi Yun listened carefully. He was moved by Grandma Qin's tragic experience and couldn't help but feel his eyes moist.
Outside the door, Akabane didn't know what happy thing happened, and he laughed hahaha.
Grandma Qin continued talking.
He stayed in the bandit's lair for more than half a year without being harmed. Grandma Qin slowly figured out their living habits, and she wanted to find an opportunity to escape.
On this day, the bandits had another robbery plan. Grandma Qin heard it clearly in the corner. She decided to escape after they came down the mountain.
After breakfast, the bandits hurried down the mountain, leaving only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy to look after the house. Grandma Qin was usually very good to him and gave him rabbit legs several times. So, the little boy was very kind to him.
She was quite fond of it.
After lunch, the little thief felt sleepy and fell asleep leaning on the chair at the door.
Grandma Qin was so happy that she rode a fast horse and ran away when she saw the opportunity. By the time the little thief reacted, she would have been far away.
Since then, she has never heard from those bandits, nor seen that little thief again, nor have those bandits come to see her again.
She didn't dare to go back to the village anymore, so she built a thatched house halfway up the mountain and lived a secluded life. She wanted to know what happened to Liu Datou. However, she only knew that Liu Datou's village was in the west, and the details were
I don’t know the name of the village and there is no way to contact him.
The days passed with difficulty day by day. She always felt that there was no way to live like this. At that time, she couldn't think of any way, so she could only go on day by day.
Suddenly, one day, camel bells came from the bottom of the mountain. She didn't know what those people were doing, so she didn't dare to stay in her thatched house and hurriedly hid in the woods behind the mountain.
When Chi Yun heard this, he immediately interrupted her and said, "Did the camel team appear at that time?"
Grandma Qin said: "Yes, and there are a lot of camels, and there are dozens of people. I was very scared. I stayed in the woods for two days."
Grandma Qin took a sip of tea and continued.
After she came out of the woods, she did not go back to her thatched house first, but went straight to the west. She thought clearly that she wanted to find her Liu Datou. She had no other relatives.
On the way, she heard passers-by say that the people in the camel caravan were looking for a girl. She couldn't remember her name. Grandma Qin shivered when she heard it. Although, it had nothing to do with her. Because,
Her father had told her before that girls should not be alone outside. If there is no other way, she should dress up as a boy. It would be safer that way.
Grandma Qin immediately found a secluded place, cut off her long hair with a knife, and put on a pair of old and dirty men's clothes.
She continued walking to the west. She ate in the open air, ate the wind and drank the sand, which was very hard.
One day, after dark, she spent the night in a broken temple. She covered her body with some thatch and hid in a corner. It also served as a broken door board, which served as a safety barrier.
In the middle of the night, camel bells were heard in the distance. There were also many people chattering, but it was hard to hear what they were saying.
She was frightened, trembling all over, and wanted to run away, but it was too late and there was no time. She might as well just hide here and let the moment pass!
Those people really stopped outside the ruined temple. At this time, someone spoke again. This time, she understood that it was a woman.
The woman said that they spent the night near the ruined temple. The men slept outside the temple and the women slept inside.
Grandma Qin huddled into a ball and tried not to make a sound.
It was extremely cold at night. The women leaned together to keep warm. Under the firelight, Grandma Qin saw their appearance clearly. Their hair was long, their eyes were crystal clear, and they were not the same color as us. Their skin color was very white and their noses were pointed.
Pointy and very beautiful.
They were talking quietly. Grandma Qin could hear them clearly. They were businessmen, selling animal skins and other things.
They also mentioned some talisman. It was the first time that Grandma Qin heard the name talisman. She didn’t know what it was. Anyway, it should be an extremely important thing. They took it out and counted it for fear of losing it.
Then he installed it carefully.
Their intention is probably to keep moving forward and continue searching. Selling furs is just a superficial phenomenon, the real purpose is to find the runes.
Grandma Qin was not discovered by them that night, so it was really a close call.
The next day, before dawn, they left in a hurry.
Grandma Qin also took the opportunity to leave the ruined temple in a hurry. However, before leaving, she picked up a rag on the ground. It couldn't be called a rag. There were very delicate patterns painted on it. At that time, Grandma Qin did it without thinking.
Put it in his pocket.
However, she didn't realize at the time that it was the piece of rag that almost killed her.
Grandma Qin did not dare to take the main road. When she asked about the main road to the west, she did not take it. She only took the small path in the same direction as the main road. In that way, she took a lot of mistakes.
Grandma Qin had heard Liu Datou say before that his home was in a village in the west, not too far away, just a few dozen miles away. However, Grandma Qin had walked these dozens of miles for more than half a month and still hadn't arrived.
She was extremely anxious. Besides, Grandma Qin's body was about to collapse due to lack of food and drink along the way.
Grandma Qin did not fall. With her tenacious perseverance, she finally found Liu Datou's village.
The moment Liu Datou saw her, he couldn't believe his eyes. The ragged, male-female person in front of him turned out to be his sweetheart. The two of them hugged each other and cried.
In this way, Grandma Qin finally found a place to stay.
Liu Datou's parents disliked her at first. After Grandma Qin dressed up, she immediately seemed to be a different person. The two old people were very happy to see their daughter-in-law so beautiful.
Grandma Qin told them her experience, and she and Liu Datou hugged each other and cried.
Grandma Qin gradually got to know this family. Liu Datou's parents made a living by doing small businesses and were relatively wealthy. The family was loyal and kind, and they were a trustworthy family.
There is a medium-sized market in the south of Liu Datou Village. People from surrounding villages often go there to buy and sell things and exchange what they have.
Grandma Qin’s favorite thing is the candied haws sold in the market, which is sour and sweet. Every time there is a market, she and Liu Datou will go for a walk to buy some daily necessities, and buy a candied haws to eat.
.
Liu Datou's parents were also very kind to Grandma Qin and treated her as their own daughter.
Grandma Qin settled down like this, and her life was finally stable.
