After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Cui's voice was trembling. She was angry for those who died, but at the same time, she felt somewhat relieved.

If they had not had no place to live when they entered the village, they might have been hacked to death in the sea of ​​fire.

"Mom, even if we stayed in the village, we wouldn't have ended up like this."

Yuxiu supported her and groped her way to sit down on a stone on the ground.

Even if she was in the village and encountered such a dangerous moment, she would not care whether she would be exposed or not. She would definitely take Cui into the space to hide as soon as possible.

When Cui thought of her daughter's immortal master, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Yes, her daughter was a very lucky person, and she also received a fairy treasure from her master. How could she be killed so easily?

Cui hugged Yuxiu tightly, feeling the body temperature of her daughter. Her heart, which had been frightened before, slowly calmed down.

There was still a big man sleeping in the cave. The two did not dare to enter the space to rest like before. Fortunately, it was pitch dark in the cave at this time and the man was blindfolded again. Yuxiu quickly entered the space to check and confirmed that the door leading to the backyard could indeed be opened, then she came out carrying two quilts.

In order to avoid the man's suspicion, Yuxiu first pulled some hay over and put it on him, then covered him with the quilt. Fang Zheng couldn't see or touch it, so even if he remembered it tomorrow, he would just think that he was covered in hay.

Yuxiu leaned against Cui and wrapped the other quilt around them to rest.

Under such conditions, Yuxiu originally thought that she would not be able to fall asleep, but as she listened to Cui's regular breathing, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and soon she could no longer hold on and slowly fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but Yuxiu heard a crisp sound and was so scared that she suddenly opened her eyes. Cui next to her was also awakened. The two of them got up and looked. It was already cold outside, and sunlight was shining into the cave through the gap.

The sound just now came from the cup that was used to feed the man water last night. Thinking that it had been used by someone else, Yuxiu did not put it away. After all, it was just a cup made of polished bamboo, and it would not be a big deal even if someone saw it. So she simply placed it not far from the man.

At this time, the cup had rolled a long distance. Looking at the marks on the ground, it should have been touched by the man during the struggle, which caused the sound.

Yuxiu quickly put the quilt back into the space and then came to the man and asked in a low voice:

"Do you remember who you are?"

The man paused in his struggling but continued to shake his head. Yuxiu frowned as she looked at him, not believing that a person could just lose his memory so easily. Did she think it was a TV drama?

"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it, but there may be a lot of people chasing you. All the disaster victims at the foot of the mountain were killed last night."

Her tone was very calm, but it successfully made the man on the ground pause, which made Yuxiu, who was staring at him closely, curl her lips.

My goodness, this bastard is pretending to have amnesia in front of her.

Yuxiu was almost laughing out of anger. She risked her life to save him, but he was playing tricks on her.

"I, I only remember that my name is Qi Siyuan..."

The man's voice was still a little hoarse. He shook his head and continued:

"I think I brought a few guards with me. Someone was chasing us from behind, and then, and then..."

Qi Siyuan only felt a pain in his head, as if he was about to remember something, but he was almost suffocated by the pain and couldn't help but let out a painful groan.

In fact, Yuxiu had wronged him. He could not remember who those people holding the swords were.

Just now, when he heard the woman say that the villagers at the foot of the mountain were hacked to death, he had a hunch that those people were most likely looking for him, and those victims were also suffering from the disaster without any cause.

Yuxiu observed him carefully for a while, but she was not sure whether he really couldn't remember or was pretending, so she didn't intend to care about it. Anyway, he was awake now, and they would leave here soon. Maybe they would never have the chance to meet again.

She walked to the entrance of the cave and saw that the village below the mountain had been burned into ruins. The fire had been extinguished, leaving only some places still emitting black smoke.

Looking at the official road in the distance, there were no disaster victims walking on it for a while. It was so quiet that it was scary.

"You, please let me go. Someone might be looking for me. You will be safe if I leave."

Yuxiu was still wondering whether she could travel today, when Qi Siyuan calmly expressed her thoughts.

Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, neither saying yes nor no. She picked up the telescope and looked around carefully for a while, but still found nothing, so she put it away.

"Do you really want to go out now? You know, those people are probably still hiding in the dark. If you go out, it will be just right..."

"No problem. Thank you for saving my life last night. If we have the chance to meet again, I will give you a generous gift to express my gratitude."

Yuxiu didn't care whether the gift was generous or not. After asking the small system that the man was not dangerous, she went forward and untied the cloth strips on his hands and feet.

"I saved you last night just by chance, there's no need for a generous gift."

Qi Siyuan moved his numb limbs, and seeing that Yuxiu did not stop him, he pulled the cloth off his eyes.

Just as he imagined, what came into view were two ordinary women who looked very kind, and looked like refugees fleeing famine, but the girl in front of him looked very thin, with a pair of clear big eyes on her thin face, which added a touch of spirituality to her whole person.

"I don't dare to light a fire to heat up the food now, so I'll just have to eat some cold porridge."

Cui brought out the white rice porridge that she had cooked last night. Although it was already cold, she could still smell the fragrance of the rice porridge.

Not to mention when they were fleeing famine, even when they were in Xujia Village, they could only eat white rice porridge a few times a year.

Xu's family is large, and most of the time they just cook a pot of watery multi-grain porridge and pair it with a fist-sized black-faced steamed bun, which is their meal.

It sounds OK, as everyone eats this way. The difference is that girls like Yuxiu and Cui, who cannot give birth to a boy, are not worthy of eating steamed corn bread. During the busy farming season, Old Lady Qin will make them a bowl of thicker porridge, and during free time, they will just have a bowl of thin soup to get by.

Fortunately, Yuxiu had prepared the bowls and chopsticks in advance, and Cui served a bowl to each of the three people. Qi Siyuan did not refuse and took a sip from the bowl.
