Chapter 21 (2/2)
And so, Feng Ning decided to clean herself up a bit first She secretly sneaked into a farmer’s house, where there was nobody inside, since they were probably all out doing agricultural work She found a ood look at her reflection, and she really scared herself with the way she looked, just how dirty her face was and how ht
She used some water from the farmer family’s water jar, to wash her face and hands, and found sohter, cohtly onto her body with, and she put the clothes on, Feng Ning was happy that she finally looked like a regular girl again
She spoke to the empty house: “I’m really sorry that I was forced by the circu, I’ll definitely return this tenfold in the future, thank you very much!” She turned around and was about to leave, but just as she stepped across the door, she felt like she was starving, and she thought about it a bit, and turned back around again and spoke the the house once more: “uhh, can you loan me some money as well?”
She i it, and Feng Ning started going through the family’s cabinets and containers, until she finally discovered two rolls of coppers in a sht to herself that she would ood thief, she was able to discover it even though it was hidden so well She put her pal, and was about to leave, when she suddenly thought, then they would starve too, if she took everything, ill they do? She felt guilty about it, so she turned around again, and placed one roll of coppers back in the jug, and then thought about it some more, this family seems to have many people in it, and she’s just one person, she hesitated a bit, and counted the money, how ritted her teeth, and placed another half a roll of coppers back inside the jug
She placed the jug back in its original location, and said: “when Long San returns, I’ll ask him for some money, I’ll definitely return it to you tenfold, don’t hatethat, she carefully held on to the half roll of copper and finally left the house
Since Feng Ning earing rough clothing, she looked a bit like a country bumpkin, and she didn’t have much money on her, so she couldn’t afford etable buns instead, and as she ate thele ast the crowds and leave town
After finishi+ng her last vegetable bun, she thought to herself: “Long San, I’ood ht, she sao suspicious looking ate, they weren’t leaving but were just looking around the area The way they looked and acted, seeood
Feng Ning panicked a little, and then calmed herself down, and took two quick steps to reach the side of apole on his shoulders, there was a child by theNing stuck close to the kid, lowered her head and sers at all, seeing a pretty girl s by his side, while gently patting his head all the while, from an outsider’s perspective, they looked just like a happy family of three
Feng Ning passed the ht in the open, and exited the town gate without incident Just as she was about to sigh in relief, in turned out that a wo outside, and she said to the man in a loud voice: “our son’s father, you’re finally here Huh, who’s this?”
This woht everyone’s attention on theht to herself that this was bad, and as expected, the two ’s eyes, and Feng Ning i, and those men in cyan were indeed ht, and started chasing her
Feng Ning didn’t knohere she was going, she just kept running straight forward, and when she looked behind her, there wasafter her, she felt really angry about it inside, but she didn’t have any choice but to keep running away
Feng Ning ran all the way to the neighboring town, and without even a chance to rest, she was chased to the next town over as well While fighting and escaping all the way, she ran out of o, and she could only steal clothes to wear and food to eat, and since she was afraid of rivers, lakes, and wells, she was unable to take care of her appearance for several days, and she was only able to take an opportunity to scrub herself a little by borrowing a bowl at a far all this time, and was rather pitiful
One day, while she was secretly stealing food in a restaurant’s kitchen, she heard a cook and a server chatting, saying that some fareat and wonderful Baiqiao City was Feng Ning suddenly recalled that Long San said before that the leader of Baiqiao City, Nie Chengyan, was one of his good friends
Feng Ning considered things that day, she ive this container to hi her, that way she won’t have to worry about the container falling into their hands, and Nie Chengyan probably will have so San can come to pick both her and the container up
These days that Feng Ning spent as a vagrant, she’s been thinking about a lot of things, she remembered back to that day, the way Granduards and servants shohen they found out that she knew ave it her all, and the Long Fa her if she knew those crooks, at the tis over carefully and didn’t notice anything, but noith tied The Long Faain, and that she joined with the outsiders to steal things from them
Well, thinking about it, it does seem that way, since she took the ite Family, and escaped with the ites that she did when she lost her ood impression on everyone
The ot, she could only console herself by thinking, this will all be over soon, as long as she returns the ite Family, the truth will be revealed She doesn’t care what anyone else thinks, and will do her best to do good deeds Besides, Long San won’t just leave her alone, Long San will definitely believe her, and come to look for her
She curled up under a big tree, and lit a sive her soht about where she should go looking for food tomorrow
Before she fell asleep, she said sory, I don’t have any clothes to change into, I’m dirty and smelly, nobody is here to have a conversation withSan…… I miss you……”
