While dragging the beggar, a bag tied around his waist fell off. She picked it up and opened it, and found that it contained some small change and copper coins, quite a lot of them.

I didn’t expect that a stinky beggar would have so much money on him!

Thinking about the beggar's behavior just now, it seemed that the money was obtained in an illegal way, which was just right for her.

Right now, she is short of money. She needs money to escape, otherwise she will starve to death!

She put the bag away and searched the beggar again. She found another purse. The purse was very new and made of silk. It was obviously not his. He must have stolen it from a rich man!

This purse was even bulgier than the previous one, and contained quite a bit of silver. After she opened it and took a look at it, she put it away.

After doing all this, she looked at the sky outside. It was late at night and pitch black. She could only wait and leave when it was daybreak.

But after what happened just now, she couldn't sleep and didn't dare to sleep. Helplessly, she had to sit by the fire, add some firewood, and warm herself by the fire.

My body is wet and it's really uncomfortable.

While warming herself by the fire, she looked at her clothes. She could no longer wear these clothes. Not to mention that if she went out wearing these clothes after dawn tomorrow, if someone from the Si Mansion came after her, they would easily recognize her.

What happened tonight might happen again tomorrow, because it is too dangerous for a girl to be alone outside, especially in this area.

She raised her head and looked around. She saw a pile of rags in the corner of the wall not far away. She looked closely and found that they were some torn clothes, probably belonging to this stinky beggar.

She stood up, walked to the corner, and rummaged through the dirty and smelly rags. Although it was unbearable, it could save her life.

Wearing this clothes is better than stripping the clothes off that dead beggar!

She immediately picked out two and took them to the fire.

After sitting down, she first took off her outer clothes, and then put on her inner clothes and warmed herself by the fire. When her clothes were almost dry, she put on two beggar's clothes, then tied her hair up and wrapped it with a piece of rag, dressing herself up as a dirty beggar.

As for the outer garment she had taken off, she threw it into the fire.

After doing all this, she returned to the corner, curled up into a ball, took a nap, and waited until dawn to escape again. But before falling asleep, she still held the hairpin tightly.

Fortunately, the second half of the night passed peacefully without any further incidents.

She woke up when it was just light.

But before leaving the dilapidated temple, she burned it down to prevent anyone from finding any clues, after all, a beggar had died here.

The raging fire engulfed the ruined temple, but because it had rained heavily last night, there were puddles everywhere outside the temple, so the fire did not spread out.

As Si He walked, he looked back at the dilapidated temple. He saw that the temple collapsed shortly after it burned, and the fire gradually died down, leaving the place in ruins.

That's good.

She withdrew her gaze and walked quickly along the official road.

When I was thirsty, I drank dew from the leaves on the roadside, but I was so hungry that I had no choice but to endure it.

As the sun rose high in the sky, she met some pedestrians on the official road. Many of them were traveling with their families, as if they were fleeing.

Seeing this, she followed the crowd silently.

After walking for half a day, she finally got a general idea of ​​the situation.

It turns out that these are people fleeing famine.

People fleeing famine are also refugees. Either they have to leave their homes and flee to other cities to make a living because of war, or the famine is too severe and for various reasons they have no choice but to flee.

It's all due to the environment and life, and the world is difficult.

At noon, when passing through a small town, Si He and everyone else stopped at a tea stall to rest and bought some dry food to eat on the way.

However, when she was paying, she attracted a lot of people's attention. Maybe she bought a little too much. She bought four steamed buns and a gourd of tea.

It is really eye-catching that a stinky beggar can spend money to buy four steamed buns.

Especially now, the famine is severe, people are living in poverty, food prices have risen a lot, and many people are reluctant to eat too much.

After noticing this detail, Si He quietly put away the steamed buns, and honestly nestled in a corner, with her head down, trying not to attract attention.

At the same time, she was thinking about which direction to escape.

According to the original owner's memory, the county magistrate she was originally going to marry was in charge of several cities in the southwestern border. She wondered if the original owner's father would use the power of the county magistrate to pursue her within this jurisdiction?

No matter what, she couldn't stay within the sphere of influence of Huixi County.

Nowadays, there are constant wars in the border areas of the Great Yan Dynasty, so it is safer to go to the cities in the central region.

Having made up her mind, after resting, she followed the crowd heading towards the central region.

Not long after they set out, a large group of people came up the official road with great momentum.

This group of people had dozens of strong followers and guards in front and behind. They all rode tall and fine horses and carried swords. Each of them was comparable to an elite soldier.

There were two simple carriages driving in the middle. Although the decorations of the carriages were low-key, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these were not ordinary people's carriages.

"Get out of my way!"

The leading guard shouted loudly and drove away the pedestrians on the road.

A group of refugees quickly retreated to both sides of the road. Si He followed suit. Looking at this group of people, she finally felt relieved. Just now she thought that Si's father had sent people out of the city to look for someone!

At this time, an old man was walking slowly because of his inconvenient legs.

Seeing that the team was about to arrive, Si He had no choice but to step forward quickly and hurriedly help the old man to the side.

As soon as the two retreated to the side of the road, the group of people galloped past.

If he had been a step slower, the old man would have been hit and his life would probably have been in danger.

After a close call, Si He breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards the huge army.

The old man also breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say thank you, but when he turned around and saw Si He, he paused and then looked at her carefully with a puzzled look.

When the old man was young, he had stayed in a brothel for decades and met countless people, so when he looked at her closely, he discovered the clues.

Although Si He's face was covered in mud and her body was dirty, and she did look like a stinky beggar, her perfect facial features and beautiful big eyes revealed a little flaw.

Then, after looking at the body shape, skeleton, etc., the old man became even more certain.

I didn’t expect that this dirty beggar was actually a beautiful girl!

However, her appearance as a male beggar was quite good, and ordinary people couldn't tell anything.

The old man's eyes flickered, and after a while, he said, "Thank you, little kid."
