This fox fairy is too inhuman

Chapter 272 People can change
"Isn't it here yet? It should be here soon, right?"

Leaning her head against the small window of the carriage, Shi Xiaoxiao stared blankly at the scenery outside the curtains.

The development of things was somewhat beyond Shi Xiaoxiao's expectations.

No, to be honest, from that day on, what happened after that stimulated Shi Xiaoxiao's fragile nerves again and again.

On that day, under the arrangement of the second prince, Shi Xiaoxiao successfully slipped out of Wentian City and headed towards Chongzhou City where the Shendao Sect was located.

In order to avoid being discovered by possible pursuers, they did not enter any city along the way, nor did they use any teleportation array.

Although this greatly reduces the risk of exposure, it also allows Shi Xiaoxiao, who has lived in luxury since childhood, to experience what a real escape life is.

"Is this the free life that the chivalrous and righteous women in those novels long for? Haha..."

In the novel, they can fearlessly choose to fight against power for the sake of their ideals, their country, and their love, and then start their life in exile without hesitation.

The running plot in the book is exciting. You will sweat for them when they are in danger, and you will hold your hands and laugh when the protagonists are having fun. You wish you were the protagonist.

But what if we switch to reality?

If we really have such an opportunity and become one of them, will this day really be as fascinating as in the book?
Fortunately, Shi Xiaoxiao was fortunate enough to experience this.

For the sake of love, he chose to rebel against his father and family, and with the help of noble people, he embarked on the road to find his lover.

From an outsider's perspective, who wouldn't give her a thumbs up?Who wouldn't praise her for being loyal and virtuous?
But if someone asked Shi Xiaoxiao what she thought of this escape, she would only give one comment:
"This is really bad!"

Yes, terrible.

From an outsider's perspective, she seemed to have succeeded, at least half of it.

But for those involved, it was a nightmare.

Forget the bumps on the road, although the carriage provided by the Second Prince looks unremarkable on the outside, its internal equipment is first-rate and its shock absorption effect is quite good.

But no matter how good the shock absorption is, it can't withstand walking on rugged mountain roads all the time.

The bumps along the way almost made Shi Xiaoxiao numb. She never wanted to ride in a carriage again in her life.

As for other aspects, it is even more difficult.

As long as a person lives, he cannot avoid eating, drinking and urinating.

It doesn't matter if you eat or drink a little bit. After all, it's not a sightseeing tour, so eating a little bit can be tolerated.

But Lazar made this young lady collapse a little.

Some friends may not be clear, but no matter in which world, beautiful girls need to go to the toilet.

Being able to sneak around in the wilderness is daunting enough, but having to worry about a wild animal popping out of nowhere while crouching down is not too overwhelming.

If it weren't for the female guard arranged by the second prince and her help guarding the wind, Shi Xiaoxiao would probably have endured it all the way to the end.

Fortunately, the guards were not inhumane and allowed her to simply clean herself at some pools, thus avoiding the most desperate situation.

Moreover, the bigger problem than the physical torture is the mental pressure.

Invisible torture is the most deadly.

Ever since she started escaping, Shi Xiaoxiao had not had a good night's sleep.

She has been dreaming, having nightmares about being chased. She would always wake up in the middle of the night and keep her eyes open until dawn.

She was in constant fear every day, fearing that someone in her family would find her and take her home again.

The little tricks that were played before can only be used once at most, and they will definitely be seen through the second time.

Once he is caught, he will be sent directly to the bridal chamber with his head pressed...

Do not!
Never do that kind of thing!
Therefore, no matter how difficult the escape journey was, Shi Xiaoxiao never thought of giving up.

If she really fell to that point, she would rather die.

She gritted her teeth and persisted without complaining once.

Shi Xiaoxiao's non-complaining attitude gradually changed the way the guards viewed her.

Originally, they only regarded Shi Xiaoxiao as a young lady from an aristocratic family who was ignorant of the world and eloped for love. Sooner or later, they would be unable to hold on and collapse.

But now it seems that although it is true that she is not familiar with the world, and it is true that she eloped for love, this young lady who is not squeamish at all is afraid that she will persist until the end.

Maybe it was for a certain man at first, but now what supports her to this point is no longer just for a man.

She is working hard for herself.

She wants to escape from the poet who has trapped her!

Not only for him, but also for herself.

wow.

One person opened the curtain and walked into the carriage, sitting next to Shi Xiaoxiao. "Miss Shi, you'd better sleep a little longer." Luo Yaning put on Shi Xiaoxiao's coat and whispered to the sleepy girl, "We are almost to Chongzhou City, and Shi Jia can't catch up."

Luo Yaning was the escort leader arranged by Li Fengyao to escort Shi Xiaoxiao to the Shinto Sect. Although she was a woman, she wore half a face armor all day long, and her voice was hoarse due to the injury to her throat.

"Sister Luo..." Shi Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, shook her head to get rid of her thoughts, and said with a forced smile: "It doesn't matter to me, I can't sleep either. By the way, we are finally here."

She straightened up and took a closer look at the scenery outside the window.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but the scenery I was used to seeing finally seemed a little different.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Shi Xiaoxiao blinked and realized that the team was a little different from before, with a few people missing. "Sister Luo, where are Brother Cheng and the others? Why is he missing?"

Could it be that something happened while I was sleeping?

"You mean Cheng Li'an? He, he has been sent by me to report to the Shinto Sect first. I have other arrangements for the other people." Luo Yaning gave the uneasy Shi Xiaoxiao a reassurance, "We will not directly enter the Shinto Sect. , that way the target would be too obvious, and someone with intentions would discover it.”

"We will first go to Chongzhou City to find a place to settle down, and then let the Shinto Sect send people to bring you in. That way everything will be safe."

Divide up?
Although she had no experience in wandering the world, Shi Xiaoxiao still instinctively felt at this moment that this was not a very safe choice.

Hundreds of miles are half ninety.

The most difficult thing is the last tremor of the journey.

But now, Luo Yaning has chosen to split up his forces. This...

"Don't worry." Seeing that Shi Xiaoxiao was still a little worried, Luo Yaning laughed in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry, the place we agreed on is very hidden and impossible to be discovered."

"Then...Okay." Although Shi Xiaoxiao was still a little uneasy, seeing Luo Yaning's confident look, she could only smile knowingly and close her mouth.

People are under the roof and have to rely on others to take care of them, so stop talking too much.

However, the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.

"I don't feel good. I hope it's my imagination..."

The carriage fell into silence again, but Luo Yaning did not take the initiative to leave this time. After hesitating for a while, she took a deep breath and said slowly, "Miss Shi, there is something that I don't know whether to talk about or not."

"Huh? Why are you so polite?" When she saw Luo Yaning hesitated to leave, Shi Xiaoxiao guessed that she had something to say, so she didn't deliberately push her away at this time, "Sister Luo, it doesn't matter, you don't have to be polite."

As the only two women on this trip, their relationship has gone from being strangers at the beginning to being close friends.

Luo Yaning admired this Miss Shi who was much stronger on the inside than on the outside.

Although Luo Yaning looks like a cold-blooded killer now, more than ten years ago, she was once an innocent girl, and she once had the idea of ​​sacrificing everything for love.

It's a pity that the world is full of twists and turns, and all her efforts and dedication were in vain. She was seriously injured and her appearance was disfigured. She will never have such an innocent dream again.

This is the reality. In many cases, it is not just wishful thinking that can lead to a perfect future.

Luo Yaning got close to Shi Xiaoxiao because she saw the shadow of his own past in her and had some empathy.

Originally, Luo Yaning's mission was just to deliver Shi Xiaoxiao safely to the Shinto Sect, and there should not be any other interference.

But perhaps because she didn't want this girl to follow her own path, after hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but speak when the journey was about to end.

"Miss Shi, have you ever thought about a possibility?" Luo Yaning looked at Shi Xiaoxiao, clenched her fists, clasped her nails hard on her palms, and spoke with difficulty, "When you saw him, he was no longer The person you knew back then.”

!!!

"Sister Luo? What are you..." Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes widened slightly. Unexpectedly, Luo Yaning actually mentioned this matter after hesitating for a long time.

In her impression, Luo Yaning did not seem like a person who would talk about such things as children's love.

"You mean you are worried that Li Yiyi will change his mind?"

"……Correct."

"That's what I mean." The topic started, and the most difficult step was over. Luo Yaning calmed down a lot and said slowly, "Although I don't know what the relationship is like between you, I still want to remind you that you can't put everything together. Hope is placed on others.”

Staring into Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes, Luo Yaning said in a deep voice:
"Don't think I'm sensationalizing, you have to consider this."

Will Li Yiyi change his mind?

"He...will?"

Before this, Shi Xiaoxiao had never considered this matter.

Shi Xiaoxiao has not changed, and she has never thought about changing. Thinking about saving others by herself, she has never thought about the possibility of Li Yiyi changing his heart.

"I'm not advising you to give up on him, I just want you to be more careful and don't hand everything over to him directly." Luo Yaning stared at Shi Xiaoxiao closely, as if looking at her past self, and said seriously, "It's embarrassing. You can’t have a human heart, and you can’t have a guard against others.”

she says:

"People change."

"You are a good girl, please don't make the same mistake I did."
