On the way to escape, I found a big boss’s mother

Chapter 5 Fox Mask
The two of them lived in the woods for five days, ate a chicken, two rabbits, and made a meal of wild vegetable and mushroom soup. They felt much more energetic.

In the early morning of the sixth day, the two of them set out on the road. There were some dried fruits and preserved meat in the package. As usual, the two of them collected green frost along the way.

Chu Li does not take the water from the pool.

"We can see this water, and people fleeing from famine can also see it in the future. Keeping more water may save lives for those fleeing from famine."

Dad became a poor scholar again, and Jinchu's face was smeared with grass juice, turning his newly beautiful complexion into a sallow complexion.

After walking for more than ten days, Chu Li caught another hare. Chu Li killed the hare, roasted some of the meat and ate one piece every day.

The Yun Kingdom was divided into four princes, who guarded the east, south, west and north respectively. On the 18th day of their journey, the two men finally left the bitter cold land in the north.

Compared with the depression in the disaster area, the sky in the west is high, the clouds are vast, the forests are dyed, and there are scattered beautiful wild flowers.

The first thing that catches the eye is a river, with sparkling, clear and clean water.

Jinchu ran to the river, bent down, fetched water with his hands and drank, drinking crazily and wantonly, wishing he could go for a dip in the deep water.

"Daddy, I want to take a bath."

Jinchu raised his little face with drops of water. They had washed their bodies in the small pool, but they had never taken a bath again along the way.

Chu Li glanced at the sun in the sky: "It's noon. It's not that cold. You still need to pay attention."

Chu Li asked Jin Chu to change out of her dirty clothes in the forest, then wrapped herself in her plain-colored outfit that she had never worn since leaving the pool, and lit a fire by the river.

"You go for a run first. Be sure to wait until your body is warm before getting into the water. You can wash faster."

"Yes." Jin Chu nodded obediently and ran around wrapped in his father's clothes. The breeze was blowing gently and his clothes were fluttering. He felt a bit like the mysterious goddess of the Nine Heavens...

"Jinchu, you can only wash by the river, not in the river."

"Understood, Daddy."

Jin Chu stuck out her tongue. She also wanted to take a plunge in the deep water while her father was not paying attention. However, the story of her being a fish has been over. Now she is just a six-year-old girl with a female father. .

Jin Chu was still unfinished, so she finally came ashore wrapped in clothes. Chu Li helped her dry herself, put on warm clothes, and combed Jin Chu's hair into two beautiful buns.

"Our Jinchu is a beauty."

Chu Li admired from the bottom of her heart. She was originally moved by this child's clear and lively eyes.

"What is a beauty?" Jinchu was very satisfied with her hair. Her father was very skillful and could knit straw sandals, catch pheasants, roast rabbits, and comb her hair in various beautiful styles.

"I just want to compliment you on how beautiful you are."

Chu Li then sighed: "There is no flower that lasts forever. In addition to beauty, women must also have both ability and political integrity, and be self-reliant."

Jin Chu scratched his head and said, "Dad, I don't study well enough to understand."

"Dad will teach Jinchu how to read in the future, and he will explain these principles to Jinchu slowly."

Jinchu nodded, "Dad, the hair you comb is so beautiful. Have you ever combed it for others before?"

Chu Li suddenly became silent, hugging her knees and sitting by the river. Even dinner was cooked by Jinchu.

Chu Li remained silent, staring blankly at the half moon in the sky, and did not sleep with Jin Chu.

The morning glow in the mountains was bright, and Jinchu was in a happy mood. He even jumped up and down while walking, humming the ditty he had learned from Jade Rabbit.

Daddy didn't have a good rest, so she picked fruits in the mountains. Daddy must have liked them. Jinchu suddenly stopped walking, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

There were corpses lying scattered by the river. Chu Li had a stern face, carrying a sword and walking towards Jinchu covered in blood. He looked red-eyed and different from his usual gentle and elegant person.

The light reflected on the sword carried a chilling aura. Jin Chu was so frightened that his legs weakened and he backed away while waving his hands.

"No, no, dad... dad, what are you doing? I... I am Jinchu, your daughter!"

"I...I will never let you comb your hair again, and I will never sleep with you again..."

Jinchu accidentally stepped on the corpse and stumbled. All the wild fruits in his clothes were scattered on the ground.

A strong hand pinched her delicate neck, Chu Li leaned over, her eyes were deep and her tone was deep.

"Why?" Jin Chu's lips trembled, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak. Chu Li's pale face was stained with blood, which was spattered when he killed someone just now, and the eyes he looked at Jin Chu became colder and colder.

She killed all the killers sent by the prefect, but it also brought back the painful memories, and there was a soul waking up in her body.

With the sound of horse hoofbeats, a group of people wearing armor came closer and dismounted from their horses. They all knelt down and said, "I am late, please forgive me!"

Jinchu was so frightened by this sudden turn of events that he even forgot how to get on the horse. Until he passed the city gate, he saw a porridge shed in the distance. Many refugees in tattered clothes were holding bowls and drinking heavily. Porridge.

She glanced at her father, who was riding a tall horse with a serious face. The purple aura on his head became thicker and thicker. It seemed that she no longer needed to fight for porridge with the refugees.

Jinchu was sent to a brothel by the guards. When she saw her father again, she was playing guessing games with Caiyi sisters.

At first she didn't want to play because she had no money and was afraid they would leave her behind.

"If you don't have money, go to Master Chu. He has money."

"No, daddy has no money!"

"What are you talking about? Mr. Chu has no money?" Caiyi smiled brightly, "Little guy, don't you even look at how thick the porridge is in the porridge shed at the gate of the city."

Jinchu scratched his head, "Huh? What does Congee have to do with daddy?"

"Daddy is rich, why did he send me to live here?"

Jinchu pouted. Although she didn't like reading, she clearly remembered what the old scholar said: brothels are not a good place.

"Master Chu is used to being free, how could he let a little girl trip him up -"

"Don't ask, don't ask. Sit over here. I'm waiting for you."

Jinchu said that she didn't know how to guess guessing and didn't want to lose her father's money.

Caiyi pushed her down on the stool: "We are all adults, how can we still bully you as a child? No need for real money, just a sticker if you lose, that's alright, right?"

Jin Chu reluctantly nodded.

When Chu Li came, Jin Chu was being pressed with a sticker. His face was a mess, only a pair of big black eyes were exposed, but he was so happy that he stretched out a small hand to greet Chu Li, "Daddy, come quickly - —”

Chu Li frowned: "What's wrong with your face?"

Well, none of the women had a note on their faces.

Jinchu chuckled: "Guess the game, the loser will put a note on it!"

Chu Li's gaze crossed Jin Chu and landed on Cai Yi: "Are you guessing with them?"

Caiyi waved her fan, "Oh, what's wrong? Are you feeling distressed?"

distressed?

Jinchu raised his head: "Dad——"

Chu Li snorted coldly, "Why don't you use money?"

"I don't have any money."

"I have!"

Caiyi and the sisters nearby made a fuss, but Jinchu was confused.

Looking at dad's clothes, although they are still dressed as men, the material is smooth and silky. It looks like good stuff at first glance, but if dad is rich, why did he almost starve to death on the road?
A man wearing a white fox mask walked in slowly.

The half of his face that was exposed looked like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, like the snow in winter, his lips were like peach petals, and his eyes were like stars. He was dressed in a white brocade robe that wrapped his tall and slender body.

The afterglow of the setting sun outlined his figure, adding a bit of soft light, and also revealed a bit of the frailty on his body.

Even if you don't see the whole face, you can still guess what a charming face it is.

Jinchu's heart was beating a little fast at this moment.
