Chapter 400: Escape from the cottage
Yu Ren was overjoyed when he saw this and finally had the opportunity to inquire about something from the little girl.
Yu Ren was having breakfast while talking nonsense with the little girl. This has always been his strength. "Sister, I think your village is a bit special. What is your village called?"
The little girl glanced at Yu Ren, "Lijiazhai."
"Don't the people in your village farm? Why do you still raise so many horses?"
The little girl glared at Yu Ren, "Eat your food. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. If you know too much, it may not be a good thing for you."
Seeing that the little girl said this, Yu Ren was not good to ask more questions, so he honestly lowered his head to have a meal.
After breakfast, the little girl took Yu Ren out of the cottage. Yu Ren followed the little girl and saw her entering a room, picking up a few clothes, hairpins, mirrors, combs and other things, and she couldn't help but feel strange.
The little girl took these things and took Yu Ren to a place above the village.
Yu Ren didn't know where she was going to take her, but he only knew that the temperature seemed very high in this place. Yu Ren began to sweat after walking a few steps.
Turning around a forest, I saw a small pond in front of me, with smoke scattered on it. Yu Ren finally understood that this was a hot spring.
"Why did you bring me here?" Yu Ren blurted out and asked.
The little girl glanced at Yu Ren, "Look at you, you are quite handsome, why are you so stupid! Of course, I asked you to take a shower here. Could it be that you would just let you carry water!"
Yu Ren was snatched by the little girl and was not angry at all. Instead, she laughed. "Sister is so humorous. I know you should have brought me here to take a shower. But I don't understand why I should have a shower?"
The little girl frowned, "How long has it been since you took a shower?"
Yu Ren lowered his head and thought about it. He had been busy recently. It seemed that he had never had the chance to take a shower since he left the capital. "It's probably more than a month!"
"Are you a pig slaughter? Why does it smell bloody on your body?" The little girl's brows frowned even tighter.
Yu Ren didn't expect that the little girl's nose was so sharp that she could smell the blood on her body. The blood should be left behind when he was competing with Yu Qier's men outside Zhenjiang City.
"Sister, you are so powerful, you can even guess this. Our family is indeed a pig slaughter, but they don't sell meat."
The little girl was a little proud, "Okay, okay, don't waste any more words. Take a shower first, don't delay the main business in a while."
The little girl said, leading Yu Ren to the edge of the pool.
"Sister, what about you?" Yu Ren asked.
"Am I here?"
"You're watching me wash?"
When the little girl heard this, she understood the meaning of Yu Ren's words, and her face turned red. She spat at Yu Ren, turned around, and then walked forward a few more times.
"It's OK!"
"So my sister likes to peep!"
Fortunately, the little girl didn't hear this, otherwise Yu Ren would be afraid that she would kick him into the pool.
After taking a shower, Yu Ren changed into the clothes brought by the little girl and found that it was exactly the same as his previous clothes.
Seeing that Yu Ren had changed his clothes, the little girl came over again. Then she fed water with a basin, let him sit on the stone by the pond, and wash his hair.
Yu Ren didn't refuse, but just chatted with the little girl in a mess. Perhaps because the two of them had been together for a long time, the little girl talked more with Yu Ren.
After washing one hair, Yu Ren had already found out about the situation here.
This little girl is named Yuqin, and she is Liu Sangu’s personal maid. This village is indeed not an ordinary village. The people in this village have moved from Tieling, and they were originally the largest clan in Tieling - the Li family.
This "Li family" is not a person, but the descendants of Li Chengliang's houses. Although Li Chengliang was a very prominent minister and was prominent for a lifetime, his nine sons were all in high positions. However, since Li Rubai became a deserter in the Battle of Sarhu, the Li family's status in the Ming Dynasty has plummeted.
Although the court only punished Li Rubai in the end, the situation in Liaodong had changed drastically. Tieling and even the entire Liaodong were no longer the Li family's final say.
After the Jurchens occupied Tieling, although Nurhaci did not make things difficult for the Li family after he was infatuated with Li Chengliang, the ancestor of the Li family, they were after all famous generals of the Ming Dynasty. If they helped the Jurchens fight the Ming Dynasty, they would insult their grandfather Li Chengliang's reputation for life. It would be obvious that it would be unrealistic if they continued to serve the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, after the Jurchens occupied Tieling, the Li family quickly divided into two groups. One moved to the pass to continue serving the Ming Dynasty, while the other moved east to North Korea. Because the ancestors of the Li family were originally Koreans.
And the people in this village are part of the Lee family who moved east to North Korea.
Because their identities have been officially certified by North Korea, there is no need to hide them. Moreover, because Liu Sangu still wants to use Yu Ren, she also intends to ask the little girl Xueqin to reveal their identities to him.
Before Yu Ren's head was washed, he saw a man hurriedly running up from the village at the foot of the mountain. It was the little man who appeared during the previous robbery.
"Xueqin, have you done it? The boss is already anxious. The fire has already started, so we are waiting for the rescue."
"That's good." Xueqin said, and simply tied Yu Ren's hair, then inserted a hairpin.
"Li Liang, is the fifth girl back?"
"Just just came back, the fifth girl was clamoring to leave again. The boss had just persuaded her, but he just pulled her to the venue to practice arrows! So I asked me to urge you to hurry up."
While talking, the two of them pulled Yu Ren to the village at the foot of the mountain.
Back at the village, Li Liang directly led Yu Ren to the big martial arts venue.
At this time, there were already some people on the field. Most of these people were young people in the village. Two of them were strong men who went down the mountain to rob Yu Ren and the others yesterday.
In the middle of the venue, two women were riding on horseback, one was Liu Sangu and the other was the young girl Yu Ren saw in the hut yesterday.
The distance was too far and I didn't see clearly. Now that I was getting closer, Yu Ren realized that this girl looked quite good, and riding on a horse at this time had a healthy and sporty beauty. Yu Ren guessed that she should be the fifth girl in Xue Qin and the others' mouths.
Yu Ren was taken to the sidelines by Li Liang, and then the fifth girl said, "Sister-in-law, this is what you said. Today is our last competition, you can't lie to me anymore. If I win, you must let me out."
Liu Sangu nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, my sister-in-law will definitely keep her word. If you win this time and you decide to leave, my sister-in-law will never stop you."
The fifth girl nodded, "Okay! Then start!"
Liu Sangu waved to Li Liang, "Prepare the target."
When Li Liang heard this, he immediately pulled Yu Ren, took him to one end of the venue, then took out a grass fruit and placed it on his head.
Yu Ren then realized that he wanted to be a target for him. He just said that he was trying to save the situation, but Yu Ren thought he was so important. But he couldn't figure it out. Since he just wanted to be a target, why bother so much? He had to take a bath and change clothes for himself!
However, Yu Ren soon understood.
Because Yu Ren discovered that although the fifth girl was holding an arrow, she did not open her bow, but stared at her with her phoenix eyes.
The eyes of the fifth girl made Yu Ren feel a little guilty. This made Yu Ren feel even more guilty than being an arrow target. Although it is very dangerous to be an arrow target, Yu Ren had seen these five girls shoot arrows yesterday and knew that her archery skills were very good and that the arrows were perfect. But the girl's expression reminded Yu Ren of Yu Yuqian.
He was thinking hard in his heart. Did he owe some love debts? No! He had never seen this girl before!
While Yu Ren was guessing around there, Liu Sangu had already spoken. "His name is Yu Ren."
