Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 199 Snake
"Don't talk nonsense, don't take off the bamboo hat, don't care who you are, cut it off directly."

More than a dozen officers and soldiers surrounded them, and the leader raised his knife high and threatened again: "Take off the bamboo hat quickly, quickly."

Seeing that Ji Xun didn't raise his head, and looked indifferent, Shen Yuan was so anxious that he scratched his heart, and he didn't care whether he was angry or not, so he raised his hand and took off his bamboo hat, "It's said that my man has scars on his face. Others joked that he is really not the person in the portrait, so you can see clearly with your eyes wide open."

The officer and soldier took the portrait and looked at Ji Xun a few times.

"It's not him. He has a scar on his right cheek and no mole. Let's go." The leader waved his hand, and the surrounding officers and soldiers quickly dispersed and continued to search the side.

As soon as the officers and soldiers left, a little girl next to her was frightened by Ji Xun's appearance and burst into tears. The girl's father glanced at Ji Xun carefully, and stopped eating the wontons, and hurriedly carried the child away.

And the two old ladies on the opposite side also hurriedly moved the bowls to other tables, fearing Ji Xun like a robber.

Ji Xun's brows were too cold, and the scar from his chin to his temples looked really scary.

Seeing this, Shen Yu'an comforted Ji Xun and said, "Well, Ah Xun, appearance doesn't represent everything about a person. Although you have a scar on your face, you are not ugly inside~~"

Shen Yuan felt that his comfort was so weak, after all, not long ago he kept saying "ugly".

Ji Xun was very indifferent, put on his bamboo hat and continued to eat as if no one was there.

After eating, Ji Xun went to drive the ox cart, Shen Yuan asked the shop owner for a bowl of water, and just sat down and drank a couple of sips.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind: "Miss Yu'an, are you alone?"

When Shen Yuan heard this, his movements froze. It was Wang Xiucai. This guy, he used to dismiss him when the original owner stalked him. Now that he doesn't want to talk to him, he took the initiative to come up to him. Is he sick?
Shen Yuan decided not to evade, and told him clearly, then got up and turned around: "Young Master, what's the matter?" He looked at him while talking.

Wang Xiucai is seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a dark green gown, looks thin and handsome, looks like a good-looking man but flirts with Shen Xi secretly, he is simply a gentle scum!
Seeing Shen Yu'an looking at him generously, Wang Xiucai was obviously taken aback for a moment, then smiled for a while and said, "Miss Yu'an, I'm here to apologize to you. On the day you gave me the purse, I had something urgent to go back to the academy, so I didn't pay attention to you." After chasing after me, I heard that you were injured, and I felt very guilty, so I wanted to apologize to you.'
Shen Yu'an laughed secretly in his heart, pretending to be an upright gentleman, secretly coaxing many ignorant women with this method.

But, none of her business!
She just needs to take care of herself, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with him in the future, so she smiled lightly and said: "Let the prince see the joke, and I will not pester you again in the future. You can rest assured, the prince." After saluting, he walked towards the bullock cart across the road.

Wang Xiucai was surprised when he watched the back of that gracefully leaving. When his mother mentioned Shen Yuan, she was stupid, stupid and vicious, and told him to hide as far away as possible. Why did she say a few more words to her today? What about what his mother said?
Ji Xun stood across the road, holding a cane in his left hand and holding the rope in his right. Seeing Wang Xiucai's eyes following Shen Yuan, his eyes froze.

Shen Yuan wanted to be divorced so much, did he want to be with this man?
Just as she was thinking, Shen Yuan came over, "Let's go home."

Shen Yuan quickly got into the bullock cart and walked out of the town under Wang Xiucai's watchful eye.

Along the way, officers and soldiers took portraits and searched for people along the street.

The bullock cart was blocked by officers and soldiers, and it took a long time to get out of Dahe Town.

When passing by the road of Huayang Academy, Shen Yu'an glanced at him, and saw a pair of backs hurrying towards Huayang Academy. .

Heh~~ this man.

Due to the delay, the sun had set just after halfway back.

You Xiaoyou said worriedly: "According to the speed, I'm afraid it will be dark before we reach the village." In ancient times, there were no street lights, and it was pitch black everywhere at night.

"It's okay, you can make a torch, I brought flint." Ji Xun replied lightly.

"Then you have to tie up the torches before it gets dark." Shen Yuan looked around: "There are a few dead pine trees in front, and the size of the torches is just right." Pine trees have rosin and are the easiest to burn.

"En." Ji Xun responded, stopped the bullock cart, then got out of the cart and broke off the few fist-sized dead trees, cut them into half-meter-long sections, pulled a few wild vines and tied them into three torches, and then continued Hurry up.

The sky gradually darkened, and finally they couldn't see the road at all, so the two lit the torches. Calculated the distance, the three torches should have reached the entrance of the village. At that time, ask Aunt Liu to borrow an oil lamp to go home.

The sky was completely dark, and the moon was completely covered by dark clouds. It had been sunny for more than ten days in a row, and it seemed that the sky was about to change.

The night wind blew the torch flickering on and off, and the surroundings were extremely silent, only the sound of the wheels rolling could be heard.

Shen Yuan sat at the back of the bullock cart, looking at the darkness around him, suddenly felt a little timid, and couldn't help but tighten his body.

Perhaps Ji Xun sensed her fear, and said, "Hands are a little sore, can you sit in front and hold the torch for me?" Because he couldn't see the way clearly, Ji Xun held the torch in one hand and the ox rope in the other.

Shen Yuan hurriedly said: "Okay."

Ji Xun stopped the bullock cart and asked Shen Yuan to go to the driving position in front, and squeezed in with him.

Soon, Shen Yuan held up the torch, and the two continued to move forward.

After all, the space is limited, the two of them bumped into each other from time to time as they swayed, Shen Yuan married Ji Xun for two months, and it was the first time that she was so close to him, and she could even smell a unique fragrance emanating from him. Fragrance.

Shen Yuan's face flushed, and he regretted that he shouldn't sit in front.

As time passed, one torch burned out quickly, and when the second torch was burned out, it began to rain lightly.

This damn day! Shen Yuan cursed, and couldn't help raising the torch a little higher, looking forward, hoping to see where the bullock cart went and how far it was to reach the village entrance.

It was this look that almost frightened her. She saw a huge snake coiled in the grass beside the road ahead.

Shen Yuan's scalp exploded, and he plunged into Ji Xun's arms with a scream, "Snake, there is a snake!", the torch almost dropped from his hand.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Ji Xun hurriedly tightened the ox rope to stop the car, and looked ahead by the light of the fire. Sure enough, a big snake swam out from the grass, with its triangular head propped up in the middle of the road. Even the ox pulling the cart felt the danger and mooed. step back.

"Don't be afraid, I'll drive it away." Ji Xun rubbed the seeds on Shen Yu's head, and handed the ox rope to her, "Come on, pull the oxfly."
