NOVEL WEB Chapter 2: Are you running away?
There was no other way, Yixing had no choice but to try.
Originally, I thought Erina would not be able to fit into the suitcase no matter how petite she was, but to my surprise, after taking away most of the luggage, she was successfully stuffed into it.
"Look, I just said it can work!" Erina curled up triumphantly in the suitcase, and smiled: "Quick, pack your things, we'll go right away!"
It's over, what am I doing?
Maekawa Yoshiyuki wiped off his sweat.
Is it really necessary to escape to Tokyo like this?
Although he still hesitated, he still simply packed his luggage, and then perfectly avoided the sight of other servants and Yitian's family, and went straight back to Erina's room.
Yes, his room was directly above Erina, on the second floor.
In order to secretly play together after the curfew time stipulated by Yida's family, he has been going to and from the eldest lady's bedroom by rappelling from the window since he was a child.
Then the two of them will play games together in the dark, watch animation and so on.
This idea was brought up by the eldest lady, who is always very smart and likes to let Yoshiyuki play with her. They really spent countless nights happily while worrying about being discovered.
It's just that I almost broke through many times.
It is quite difficult to quickly complete the series of operations of turning off the game, TV and hiding him as an outsider before adults find out.
Because they may check the cabinet and other places, Yixing is often forced to hide under the blanket with the young lady.
Fortunately, these people never lift the quilt to check.
Otherwise, if a mere male servant dared to get too close to the eldest lady, he might be thrown with a broken leg and thrown up the mountain to feed the wolves.
The eldest lady promised that even if she gave up the opportunity to study in the city in the future, she would not let this happen, which once moved Yoshiyuki Maekawa. Thus, the following dialogue took place.
"Miss, will you really plead for me like this?"
"Yes." Erina said with a serious face, "I will beg them to beat you to death directly."
...
Maekawa Yoshiyuki hung the wooden knife that the young lady gave him as a birthday present last year to his waist, carried a schoolbag with personal belongings on his back, and dragged the suitcase containing the young lady out of the yard.
As he walked, the scene of the eldest lady being suffocated to death and himself being sentenced to commit seppuku with a blunt knife appeared inexplicably in his mind, which was very terrifying.
So, he couldn't help asking again when he went down the mountain.
"Miss, are you sure you won't feel uncomfortable?"
"It would be comfortable for you to stay here!" A dull complaining voice came from the suitcase: "I'm tossing and turning, I'm a little dizzy...but in order to go to Tokyo, I can bear it!"
"Well, if you are really out of breath, remember to remind me."
In fact, everything went smoothly after leaving the house until walking down the long slate mountain road.
Yixing thought that at least he could get to the bus stop safely all the way, and then he would consider whether he would be discovered by the driver.
However, just as he walked into the avenue of the village, he saw a person who he least wanted to see at this moment.
That is Maekawa Yoshiyuki's master - Kazuhiro!
This forty-year-old, crew-cut uncle in a black trench coat was leaning against the car and smoking a cigarette, with a real samurai sword hanging from his waist.
Every time he was sent by the eldest lady to run errands in the town for the master to see, He Hong would offer to drive him there directly, which was much easier and more convenient than waiting for the bus.
And today, there will be no exception - that's why Yixing doesn't want to be seen by him so much!
Yoshiyuki Maekawa immediately decided to take another route, taking a detour around the path while his master didn't notice.
However, dragging a suitcase will eventually make noise.
He Hong immediately noticed this side, turned his head to look, then threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, and yelled at him with a smile.
"Hey, Yoshiyuki! What are you doing with such a big box?"
Too bad, it was still seen!
Master is shouting, I can't pretend I didn't hear it, can I?
Yixing suddenly cried out in his heart, but he could only bite the bullet and answer.
"Ah, Master! Isn't it that the eldest lady wants me to go shopping in the town again? I think the quantity is a bit large, so I brought a suitcase to transport it back."
"Haha, that's it! I just want to go to the town to do some shopping, so let's go together!"
The master glanced at his suitcase, opened the car door with a smile and said so.
There is no way, if you refuse here, you will definitely be suspected.
Yi Xing resolutely got into the car, because he was afraid that the eldest lady would have difficulty breathing, so he didn't dare to stuff the suitcase into the trunk.
Soon, Master drove out of the village, chatting with Yixing without saying a word.
Because Kazuhiro behaved no differently than before, Yoshiyuki gradually relaxed his vigilance.
However, just after the car drove to a secluded place with no one around, a sentence suddenly uttered by the master sent a chill down his spine.
"Miss, is it boring to hide like this?"
"Ah? Miss what?" Yi Xing quickly pretended to be calm and said stupidly.
"Can you keep it from me just these two times? When did you go out with a suitcase?" He Hong slowly parked the car by the side of the road: "Okay, miss, come out and talk! Tell me What are you doing? Elopement?"
This word made Yixing's heart beat a little faster, and he hurriedly wanted to clarify.
However, Erina had crawled out of the box at this moment, and opened her mouth in dissatisfaction.
"Hmph, right? It's elopement! Can you control it?! Yixing, let's go! I don't want to talk to him!"
Yixing was shocked when he heard this.
After all, this matter has been exposed. If the nature is determined by running away from home, then at most they will be fined and confinement until school starts.
That's completely within the righteousness plan.
But if it is classified as elopement, then the situation is serious.
Now that the eldest lady has admitted it herself, if the master reports it as a real hammer, then according to Yitian's family rules, he may die!
At least one eye must be crippled!
At this moment, Erina began to twist the handle violently, but there was no response from the car door.
This immediately made her a little dumbfounded.
"Eh? Why can't it be opened..."
"It's useless, the car door is locked by me. No one can leave without explaining clearly." The master knocked on the driver's seat console, turned to look at the two, and asked with a smile: "Missy seems to be very nice to me." Got an opinion? Can I ask why?"
"You know what to ask! Isn't it because you have been persuading me to stay in the village and listen to the family's words! I am as annoying as my parents!" Erina shouted angrily: "They are all liars. Since before I went to junior high school, I have been You lied to me all the time! You adults are all like this! Since you didn’t intend to let me leave the village from the beginning, don’t agree!”
"Miss, you have misunderstood. Your parents and I actually supported you to go to Tokyo, and we also pleaded with the old man of the house. But he just disagrees, and there is nothing we can do." Master sighed and explained like this : "So, since the status quo can't be changed, I can only advise you to open something, can't I?"
"Hey? What?" Erina was a little dazed when he heard him say this: "If you support me, why haven't you told me?!"
"Aren't you afraid that you will pin your hopes on us? We dare not disobey the Patriarch, and we will only disappoint you even more." After He Hong said this, he watched the two of them smile bitterly: "However, it seems that we still underestimated Miss, how rebellious you are, you can actually do something like elope with Yoshiyuki... Do you know what will happen if you are caught back?"
"Hmph, isn't it just a beating!" Erina said in a completely indifferent manner: "Then beat it! Who is afraid of whom!"
"You are not afraid, but what about Yixing?" He Hong reminded: "The servant elopes with the lady, the punishment he will receive is not as simple as a beating. It is not surprising to be killed directly."
"You dare! Yixing is mine, whoever dares to touch it, I will fight with you! If he dies, I will not live!" Erina was anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "I am the master, force him to die!" If he did this, the punishment should come to me alone!"
