"What kind of place is Ninggu Pagoda? A barren land dedicated to deporting prisoners! There are bones everywhere under your feet, but there is not a living person for hundreds of miles! It is bitterly cold all year round, with no grass growing and no grain. Long, even rats don’t want to make their nests there, I’d say it’s just humans! I heard that most of the people who were sent to Ninggu Pagoda couldn’t stand it and committed suicide before they even got there! Even those who got there were Not many people can survive a year!"

"Alas!" Achou sighed softly, secretly thinking that he was unlucky.

The third day of March in the 32nd year of Jiasheng

The capital.

On March 3rd, it is such a good day to worship ancestors. Miss Duan Rulan sat on the carriage to Ninggu Pagoda with tears in her eyes. There was no ready-made bride's auspicious dress to wear. Fortunately, Mrs. Duan's wedding dress was still there. After all, she was put on, and A Chou also put on a new piece of clothing. Although it was still made of coarse linen, it was at least much better than before.

The people who escorted Duan Rulan to Ninggu Pagoda were two guards from the Royal Forest Army. One had a darker face and the other had a fairer face. Duan Feihong scraped together ten taels of silver and sent them to the two men, repeatedly urging them to go along the way. Take good care of your daughter.

The white-faced guard accepted the silver and grinned at Duan Feihong. Then he and the black-faced guard got into the carriage. With a flick of the whip, the carriage sped toward the city gate. And go.

Duan Rulan burst into tears in the carriage. A Chou didn't know how to coax. He silently took out a piece of handkerchief from his arms and stuffed it into Duan Rulan's hand. Then Duan Rulan cried even louder. Maybe the guards outside were not She got impatient and yelled something in the carriage. Duan Rulan shuddered, and then she suddenly covered her mouth. She cried less loudly, but her tears couldn't stop at all, as if they were broken pearls.

As Duan Rulan sobbed, Ah Chou opened the curtains. She looked out the window at the rows of wine shops and restaurants, the gleaming signboards, and the strings of festive red lanterns. This was Ah Chou. Chou has never seen the prosperity and beauty she has never seen. From the age of four to sixteen, she was a slave for twelve years. A palace wall cut off her connection with the world. Now that she finally got out of this palace wall, she had to Go far away to that terrible place where there is no grass.

A Chou looked at a candied haws on the roadside stall. The stall was filled with all kinds of candied haws, the bright red mountain red fruits, and the unique sweetness of the sugar. It was so tempting, which A Chou had never tasted. taste.

A Chou looked at the little kid picking out candied haws with a pouted face in front of the stall, with envy in his eyes.

She stared at the little doll unblinkingly until the carriage turned a corner and the little baby could no longer be seen. A Chou then lowered the curtains.

Duan Rulan was still crying. The cramped carriage was filled with her sadness and despair. It was so depressing that A Chou could hardly breathe. A Chou thought in his heart that it would take at least a long time to get from the capital to Ninggu Pagoda. Two months, how are you going to survive this journey?

The fifth day of April in the 32nd year of Jiasheng

Tongliao.

A Chou and his party have been on the road for a month. They arrived in Tongliao on Qingming Day. When they left Beijing, spring came back to the earth. However, when they arrived in Tongliao, it was a bit colder than Beijing. A Chou found a cloak from the package and put it on Duan Rulan. On the bed, he randomly dug out a tattered blanket and put it on himself.

A group of people stayed in the post house and asked for three rooms, one for the two guards and one for Duan Rulan and A Chou. Miss Duan is a daughter of a wealthy family and has been used to living in big houses since she was a child. Although now The family was in decline, but their anger was getting higher. There was no reason to share a room with others, let alone a humble servant like A Chou.
