In the farm outside the city.
Xu Ke and other people who were bought were placed in three long rooms. Everyone could get a new thin quilt. It was still a chilly spring. The night was cold and the wind was strong. If they didn't cover themselves with quilts, they would definitely be cold. The two old women who did rough work were arranged in a separate room.
The older ones were already numb. They quietly hugged their blankets and lay down on their beds, stiffly like corpses.
Xu Ke, who was young and vigorous, couldn't easily accept his fate. He grabbed the thin quilt with both hands, and his eyes were inexplicably gloomy.
The teenager in the bed next to him turned around and found that Xu Ke was still sitting on the bed. He couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Brother Xu, why aren't you sleeping now? Tomorrow, I don't know what the master wants us to do. Why don't you sleep early … "
Before he finished speaking, Xu Ke interrupted him with a hoarse voice and said, "You sleep first. I was very sick a while ago, so I slept a lot. Now I don't feel sleepy. If I disturb your rest, I will go out to enjoy the wind for a while. You sleep first. "
After that, Xu Ke lifted the thin quilt, tightened his thin lips, and opened the door quietly. He saw the dark sky outside. There was no other sound except for the faint snoring coming from the door and the wind outside!
Xu Ke saw that and couldn't help licking his molars with the tip of his tongue. A plan that had been put on hold came to his mind again.
If he didn't leave now, when the people in the room behind him were tamed by the Liu's, there would be no chance for him to escape.
Since he was lucky to be taken out of the death row, Xu Ke had been thinking about regaining his freedom all the time.
However, he became a slave and fell into the hands of the broker house. He could only choose to endure and stay dormant. It was not easy for him to figure out the law of the patrol guards in the broker house. He even made other preparations to escape tonight, but he didn't expect to run into Jiang Pengji.
However … it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. The broker house was very strict with the "goods". Basically, they patrolled twice in a quarter of an hour. There were strong thugs both inside and outside. Although he knew some martial arts, he was a weak scholar after all.
Not to mention that he was sick now. If he was accidentally discovered and caught, he would definitely be beaten to death.
On the other hand, the security of this farm was lax. Basically, no one cared about the slaves they bought. If he sneaked out of the farm at night, he would be safe as long as he entered the nearby woods. Then, he could escape to the mountains to hide for two days. Maybe he would be free!
This thought lingered in his mind. Xu Ke swallowed nervously. Because of the fever, his throat was so dry that smoke could come out.
He shook his dizzy head, trying to keep himself awake. In his mind, he recalled the route he saw when he was pulled by the mule cart.
"If the heavens don't kill me, I will definitely take revenge!"
Xu Ke was very cautious. He crept out of the farm while hiding in the shadows. The farm behind him was like a sleeping, man-eating beast. It curled up and slept. It looked harmless, but it had the ability to suck people's souls and cut off their freedom.
His footsteps staggered as he groped his way into the small forest. Another mile ahead was the deep forest and tall mountains.
It would take at least four hours for the people of the farm to find out that he had escaped. He still had plenty of time.
However, Xu Ke's heart that was about to return to freedom didn't last long. His two handsome eyebrows gradually furrowed because of doubts.
There was a kind of uneasiness in his heart. Xu Ke walked for another quarter of an hour, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom.
The night wind whistled and hit his face. It was bone-chilling, but it was still not as cold as his heart at this time.
The huge gap between the heaven of freedom and the hell of reality when he was about to touch it made his hands and feet feel cold.
A group of twelve people, all tall and strong, all dressed in neat leather armor, riding tall horses, were looking at him silently.
Xu Ke stared at them blankly, and they also stared at him blankly.
At this time, silence was better than words!
Finally, the crisp sound of horse hooves broke the silence. Someone came up and asked him, "Xu Xiaoyu?"
At first, Xu Ke thought that he was lucky. Although he was an escaped slave, not everyone wanted to kill an escaped slave.
Now, was it too late for him to go back to take a bath and sleep?
These people were obviously coming for him, so Xu Ke did not hold any hope of getting lucky. Instead, he felt a sense of pride that came from nowhere. He raised his hand to straighten his clothes, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I am Xu Xiaoyu from Zisang County."
"Xu Xiaoyu? Oh, it's you. My master wants to see you. He has been waiting for you for most of the night. "
Xu Ke was suspicious, but the man obviously didn't want to say more. He just asked Xu Ke to follow him, as if he wanted to take him to see someone.
Even if he wanted to escape, he had to think about it. He was a man with two legs. Even if he was sick, he couldn't outrun a four-legged horse.
There were many farms and villages of different sizes outside Hejian County. Not long after following this group of strange people, he saw a little candlelight in front of him from a distance. He could vaguely see the shape of a village. Xu Ke frowned and pursed his thin lips tightly. His eyes were gloomy.
The leader got off the horse and threw the reins to his companion. He said to Xu Ke, whose face was pale and lips were blue.
"Master is waiting for you in the house. Go in. Don't forget to be polite."
Xu Ke was still confused. He pushed the door open, and the hot air in the house blew into his face. There was also a little fragrance in the air.
The fragrance made Xu Ke subconsciously think of the handsome young man in the daytime, the son of a rich family who bought him.
Is it him?
Xu Ke was hesitant, but he immediately denied the speculation when he saw the figure on the screen.
The figure was obviously an adult man, and the young man in the daytime was at most 12 or 13 years old.
"Come in."
The man's slightly hoarse and mature voice came from the house, which shocked Xu Ke out of his thoughts.
Kneeling in front of the screen, Xu Ke's eyes flashed with unknown colors. After a few breaths, he heard the rustling of clothes on the other side of the screen, and then he heard the sound of steady footsteps. The source of the fragrance was getting closer and closer to him.
"Xu Ke? Xu Xiaoyu? "
A familiar force came from his chin, but it was different from Jiang Pengji's folding fan. The man directly pinched it with his hand, and the force was so strong that he could not help but secretly gasp. It was so painful that even the corners of his eyes were filled with physiological tears, and his eyes were full of red veins.
At that moment, Xu Ke saw the face of the man in front of him clearly.
Against the burning candlelight in the room, the man's face fell into his eyes. The man's eyes seemed to be dipped in poison and cold.
From the outline of the face, it was somewhat similar to the young man in the daytime. As long as one was not blind, anyone could see that the two were related by blood. This … Xu Ke was puzzled. He was just a slave bought by the young man. Why did the young man's family come out?
He answered with some difficulty, "Yes … I am …"
For no reason, Xu Ke's brain seemed to be empty when he was stared at by those venomous eyes. His heart was filled with an indescribable fear, and he didn't even feel the pain of his chin being pinched to the point where it was bruised.
