Chapter 233: Substitute Village Girl 2
The pancake was still warm. Murong Zhaohua picked it up and took a bite. The pancake was made of two-grain flour and tasted much better than the black-flour steamed bread distributed by the bailiffs.
Murong Zhaohua couldn't help but burst into tears. She was the daughter of a marquis, when had she ever been so destitute that she needed a country girl's sympathy?
However, she still ate the pancake. Even Ali couldn't get her something delicious in this wilderness. The most he could give her was a roasted pheasant leg.
But Ali's cooking skills were very poor, and even though the pheasant legs were meat, they were not tasty.
The next morning, Murong Zhaohua was awakened by heavy rain. She didn't know when the heavy rain started at night. She was happy because she could have a day off today.
If the rainstorm doesn't stop today, maybe we can have a rest for the next few days.
Murong Zhaohua looked out the window. Will that girl come again?
The people in the room woke up one after another. The escort distributed food, warned everyone not to go out, and then closed the door.
Murong Zhaohua looked at the window and felt that the torn window paper was pleasing to the eye.
"Bang bang..."
Hearing a sound coming from outside the window, Murong Zhaohua quickly opened the window and saw that it was indeed the little girl outside.
This time she brought a corn, "Come and eat it, I picked it from the field, it's very sweet."
She spoke much more smoothly today, perhaps because she was not as nervous.
Murong Zhaohua didn't answer, "Why did you bring me food?"
The girl smiled and said, "I don't know, maybe because you are pretty, I just wanted to bring you something to eat."
Murong Zhaohua's eyes flickered. This girl looked nothing like her when she smiled. Only when she had a stern face did they resemble her 50%.
Murong Zhaohua did not take the corn, "I don't have anything to exchange with you."
"No need to change, this is for you."
Murong Zhaohua did not refuse this time. She ate corn while asking questions.
"My name is Zhaohua, what's your name? How old are you?"
Liu Mengxi told them one by one, "Zhaohua, your name is so nice."
Murong Zhaohua also praised her, "Mengxi sounds good too."
Liu Mengxi was a little embarrassed, "This was given to me by a scholar in our village."
There was a sudden noise outside, coming from far away.
"Quick...quickly press it down hard."
"Wuwuwu... No, I can't hold it back."
"Boss, you can't get into trouble, I..."
"Stop crying, get out of the way!"
There were footsteps outside, and it seemed someone was injured.
Liu Mengxi ran out quickly. She couldn't stay here. Murong Zhaohua saw clearly this time that Liu Mengxi climbed over a low wall.
After a while, the village chief discussed with Huo Tieyi, and Huo Tieyi took a dozen escorts out. Only two escorts were left behind to guard everyone.
Huo Tieyi was not afraid that these prisoners would escape. In this desolate mountain and wilderness, running away would mean seeking death.
The weather cleared up in the afternoon, but the team did not set out because Huo Tieyi and his escorts killed a tiger and three wild boars.
The village chief led the villagers to kill the tiger and wild boar meat, and prepared dry food for the escorts.
Huo Tieyi decided to stay one more night and set off again tomorrow morning.
The prisoners were all very happy. They hadn't washed themselves along the way and they all stunk. So after hearing the news, everyone suggested going to the village river to take a bath, and Huo Tieyi agreed.
The prisoners were divided into two teams, male and female, and washed in sections in the river. Murong Zhaohua also followed them.
The river water was not deep, just up to a person's thighs. Murong Zhaohua washed himself casually and went ashore.
When I got ashore, I found that Liu Mengxi had also come. She was catching fish in the river with some children from the village.
Murong Zhaohua looked at the children running and laughing happily, and couldn't help feeling envious.
She had never felt so happy before. She was bound by many rules in the Marquis' Mansion before, and now she was exiled and had even less freedom.
Even if you are sent to a place of exile in the future, you will be watched over by someone and cannot live as you please.
Murong Zhaohua watched for a while and then followed everyone back to the village. She did not see Alie looking at Liu Mengxi's back, as if thinking about something.
At night, everyone fell asleep. The coolness brought by the heavy rain made everyone sleep very peacefully.
A dark shadow jumped in from outside, carrying something on his shoulder. The shadow looked like a person.
When Murong Zhaohua was pushed awake by A Lie, he saw the unconscious Liu Mengxi.
"what…"
Murong Zhaohua covered his mouth. What was Alie going to do?
A Lie pointed at Liu Mengxi, then at Murong Zhaohua, and whispered, "Change your clothes."
Murong Zhaohua understood it instantly. She was a little hesitant, but seeing Ali's anxious look, she compromised again.
Ali turned around and looked at everyone in the room. As long as someone woke up, he would throw the stone in his hand out.
Murong Zhaohua quickly took off Liu Mengxi's and his own clothes, and then put on Liu Mengxi's clothes. The two had similar figures and the clothes fit them very well.
Murong Zhaohua helped Liu Mengxi change her clothes. By the time she was done, she was sweating from exhaustion.
Murong Zhaohua fixed his hair again, changing it to a similar hairstyle before stopping.
When Ali saw that Murong Zhaohua had finished, he took Murong Zhaohua out of the yard and climbed over the low wall.
Liu Mengxi on the bed opened her eyes and woke up.
?
Nan Xi touched her chest and felt a little uncomfortable. She touched her head and felt a dull pain, as if she had been beaten or poisoned.
He took out a weakened detoxification pill from the space and swallowed it. This was a medicine suitable for the human body.
After taking the medicine, Nan Xi felt a tightness in her chest. She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood before she felt a little better.
Nan Xi began to receive memories.
This is an ancient fictional world, the Kingdom of Yan.
The heroine Murong Zhaohua is the legitimate daughter of the Tai'an Marquis Mansion.
Because of false accusations of corruption and bribery, the entire Tai'an Marquisate was confiscated and exiled.
The Nangong family, to which Murong Zhaohua had been engaged since childhood, also announced that they would cancel the engagement with Murong Zhaohua.
Murong Zhaohua agreed readily. As a criminal, she was indeed not worthy of the eldest son of the Nangong family.
During the exile of Marquis Tai'an, the whole family was infected with the virus because they drank raw water. Not only did they not escape, but they all died.
Because Murong Zhaohua was young, he didn't drink much and survived.
A Lie was the secret guard who had protected her since childhood. All the other secret guards in the mansion died, leaving only A Lie, who now follows her all the way.
She cried bitterly as she watched her grandfather, parents and brothers die in front of her.
From then on, Murong Zhaohua was the only one left in the Murong family on the road of exile.
Fortunately, A Lie was with Murong Zhaohua. He had some silver bills on him and gave Murong Zhaohua some special care on the way, so Murong Zhaohua was safe.
When passing by Jingshui Village, Murong Zhaohua discovered a little girl named Liu Mengxi who looked quite similar to her. By chance, the two exchanged identities.
Murong Zhaohua changed his appearance and lived in this quiet village.
Thanks to Alie's help, she quickly won the favor of the Liu family and became the group's favorite.
Liu Mengxi, under the identity of Murong Zhaohua, died of illness in the small house in Jingshui Village where prisoners were temporarily housed.
Five years later, the new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty.
After the Marquis's Mansion overturned the case, A Lie brought Murong Zhaohua back to the capital, and she once again became the distinguished daughter of the Marquis's Mansion.
