MTL - Of All the Transmigrations, Why Am I a Prisoner?-Chapter 89 Young Master Jin Yi's Escape
"What, what is the second young master missing?"
The secret servant lowered his head and clasped his fists, and said in a panic, "After the second young master went down the mountain alone, let us not follow..."
"If you don't follow, you won't follow?!" Shen Qionglin slapped the table abruptly and cursed in anger, "Go and look carefully for me, if you can't find the second young master, you don't have to go back to Tianque Villa!"
The dark attendant took the order, and hurriedly called up people to find Shen Yushu.
The secret servants thought about it, and they always felt that the place where Young Master Shen could go, except for the Song and Dance Workshop, there was only Hualou.
However, they rummaged through every singing and dancing place in Baidi City and knocked on the door of every friend of Young Master Shen.
But everyone said that they had never seen Shen Yushu.
Shen Yushu just disappeared out of thin air.
In a twinkling of an eye, it was late at night, it was completely dark, and the prosperous Baidi City was mixed with fish and dragons, and the undercurrent was surging, as if it was a behemoth that could devour those who seek pleasure.
There was no news from Shen Yushu for a long time, and Shen Qionglin was restless in Tianque Villa.
Usually when Shen Yushu goes out to play, he is always accompanied by secret servants and domestic servants. He has never been like this since he was a child, and no one knows his whereabouts.
Shen Qionglin called to see Shen Yushu's servants for the last day and questioned them one by one.
The servants all said that they saw Shen Yushu angrily leaving, not knowing where Shen Yushu went.
In the blink of an eye, it was another night, Shen Yushu was still silent, Shen Qionglin was completely anxious, like ants on a hot pot, he scolded the incompetence of the dark servant, and walked out of Tianque Villa by himself.
At this time, Shen Yushu was wearing tattered burlap clothes and was trampled on the ground and scolded.
Shen Yushu was actually in Baidi City these days, so it wasn't hard to find at all.
It's just that the secret servants didn't believe that the dignified second son of the Shen family would rather sleep in the alley than go back to Tianque Villa, so they kept looking for people in the luxurious Fengyue Fun Field without even looking at the streets and alleys.
On the first day Shen Yushu left home, he found a woodcutter on the road and changed clothes with him.
The woodcutter agreed without hesitation when he saw that Shen Yushu was dressed in brocade clothes.
Shen Yushu put on the hard and piercing coarse sackcloth. Although he felt uncomfortable, he gritted his teeth and endured it, and then wandered around in the streets of Baidicheng.
On the first night, Shen Yushu was so swayed by it, it was quite peaceful.
The second night Shen Yushu couldn't hold it anymore. He was penniless and squatted in the dark alley, hungry and sleepy. His mind was full of words that Shen Qionglin scolded him.
How do you know that God has made it worse, the wind blows and it rains at night.
The unsuspecting Shen Yushu got soaked.
The young master was so angry that he was about to scold God, a gust of night wind blew, and he shuddered, and the words of the curse were all stuck in his throat.
The little boy has always had a stubborn temper since he was a child.
This time too, it's all like this, and he doesn't plan to go back to Tianque Villa.
Shen Yushu couldn't stay in the alley, thinking about finding a place where it didn't rain.
It was raining heavily, and the streets were dark. Shen Yushu was walking along the road and found that the firewood door in the backyard of a family was unlocked, so he sneaked in and hid in the firewood room and slept.
As a result, he was treated as a thief by the family the next day, dragged out of the woodshed, and scolded him on the ground.
Shen Yushu has been used to being a master for so many years, and he doesn't know how to absolve himself in such a situation. He just keeps saying that he didn't steal anything.
No one else believed it, but no valuables were lost at home. The owner of the family gave Shen Yushu a lesson and then threw him out.
Shen Yushu threw a dog and gnawed on the mud, and his knees and elbows were all torn.
After two steps, Shen Yushu couldn't move.
He is so hungry.
Shen Yushu rubbed his stomach, thought about it, and slowly moved to the outskirts of the city.
In the early morning, travelers and merchants in the suburbs of Baidi City were in a hurry, and the hooves of horses clacked.
Shen Yushu walked a few steps to the deserted path, and found a towering tree with wrinkled and cracked bark, covered with moss.
Shen Yushu scratched his head in confusion, stretched out a small piece of bark and put it in his mouth to chew.
"Bah!" Shen Yushu spit out the bark as soon as he put it in his mouth.
The bark was astringent, bitter, and dry, making it impossible to chew.
"How do you eat the bark..." Shen Yushu murmured aggrievedly.
"The bark of this tree is inedible." Suddenly a person's voice rang in Shen Yushu's ear.
Shen Yushu was startled, turned his head to look, and saw an old beggar in ragged clothes standing beside him.
The old beggar smiled and said, "Eating the bark now, it is better to eat the leaves. Come, come with me."
The old beggar took Shen Yushu to a willow tree. It was warm spring, and the willow leaves were just budding and very tender. The old beggar bent down a willow branch and handed it to Shen Yushu: "Here, eat the leaves."
Shen Yushu hesitated, picked a few willow leaves and stuffed it into his mouth.
The willow leaves are sweet and delicate, and are indeed much more delicious than the bark, but unfortunately for Shen Yushu, they still taste like chewing wax.
"Is it delicious?" the old beggar asked with a smile.
"It's not delicious." Shen Yushu said bitterly.
"It's delicious when you're hungry." The old beggar laughed.
"But I'm very hungry now, and it still doesn't taste good." Shen Yushu said, he paused, and then said to himself, "But I can fill my stomach..."
Saying that, Shen Yushu picked a few more willow leaves and chewed them in his mouth. He swallowed the willow leaves and said to the old beggar, "Thank you for teaching me to eat leaves."
The old beggar smiled and waved his hand, holding a bamboo stick and a broken bowl and walking towards the city.
The old beggar had just entered the city, and found that the streets were covered with expensive looking for people notices, and many guards were asking people who came in and out of the city if they saw a young man in fancy clothes.
The old beggar didn't care until he saw the portrait on the missing person notice...
After Shen Yushu parted with the old beggar, he didn't go far, just sat beside the tree, holding the willow branch, picking leaves and eating.
After eating for a while, Shen Yushu couldn't take it anymore.
It's not because he's full, but the willow leaves are really not edible to Shen Yushu.
Shen Yushu pouted and put the willow branch aside, thinking about what he had done in the past two days.
The bark has been eaten, and the burlap has been worn. Although I slept in a barn last night, the firewood should be about the same...
Shen Yushu was thinking about it, and suddenly felt that his elbow was hurting badly. He looked down at the place where the elbow was rubbed, and found that the wound was covered with mud and sand. Injury, it hurts even more when being rubbed by burlap.
Shen Yushu sighed, holding his head, thinking about where he should go.
Anyway, he just didn't want to go back to Tianque Villa.
Shen Yushu was thinking about it, when he suddenly noticed that a black shadow was pressing down in front of him.
Shen Yushu raised his head in confusion, and when he saw the person coming, he got up abruptly, turned his head and left.
