After a long battle between Chen Shuncai and heaven, he decided to escape.
What contributed to his decision was none other than his experiences over the years.
He wasn't going to go on like this anymore.
And if you want to escape, you must naturally consider all possibilities.
The most important thing is the route.
At present, all the north except Shandong is under the control of the Qing army.
The best way for Chen Shuncai to escape is to flee directly from Beizhili into Shandong.
After making the decision, he no longer hesitated, dug out all the silver buried in the ground and wrapped it in a package.
His wife just died of illness two months ago, so now he has nothing to worry about.
As long as he can escape by himself, it is a success.
The matter was so important that Chen Shuncai did not intend to mention it to anyone, including Huzi.
The suffering of life taught Chen Shuncai many things, the most important of which is not to trust anyone easily.
Even if this person is a close friend or relative of yours, you cannot trust him.
Maybe they'll stab you hard when you're not paying attention.
Chen Shuncai only believed in himself.
Planning the route and packing the packages is not the end.
Chen Shuncai also had to plan the timing of his escape.
There hasn't been any major fighting in the north recently.
However, the military camp still conducts drills every few days.
Chen Shuncai chose to escape at night after a recent training day.
The military camp of the Han Army Banner is outside the city, but Chen Shuncai's house is in the city.
There is no contradiction between the two, because some flag soldiers spend most of their time living in the city except for training.
The same is true for Chen Shuncai.
However, he also has an assigned cell in the military camp.
Chen Shuncai decided to use the excuse of staying in the military camp for one night after the training, so as to solve the problem of not being able to leave the city after dark.
Of course, Chen Shuncai would not spend the night in the military camp at all, but would immediately leave the capital on horseback.
Although Chen Shuncai's horse is not a sweaty horse, it has excellent leg strength and is very suitable for long distances.
Whether Chen Shuncai can successfully escape to Shandong depends on it.
Chen Shuncai fed the animal good fodder the night before.
A horse is not fat without night grass, so be sure to let your mount eat well before leaving.
Despite careful planning, Chen Shuncai was still very nervous on the day of his escape.
After all, the Qing government enacted strict desertion laws.
If deserters were caught, their lives would be worse than death.
This escape must only succeed and not fail.
The trees on the roadside have long since died.
The bark of many of the trees was ripped off by hungry victims to satisfy their hunger.
Chen Shuncai looked around and felt very desolate.
"Hey, I don't know how long it will take to get to Shandong."
This is the fifth day since he fled.
Although he has been on the road, he is still very worried.
He was afraid that Qizhong would send people to chase him back, so he only dared to take the small roads and did not dare to take the official roads.
Fortunately, no pursuers appeared.
Chen Shun just saw a puff of smoke rising in the distance, and his stomach growled instinctively.
He carries dry food with him.
But dry food can only satisfy hunger but not satisfy one's hunger.

Eating too much will make you hungrier.
Chen Shuncai has always vomited after eating dry food and cold water these days.
Now he just wants to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup to warm himself up.
Chen Shuncai swallowed subconsciously when he thought of hot noodle soup.
"Drive, drive" Chen Shuncai lightly swung his whip and knocked the horse's belly, and the maroon beast snorted and stepped towards the gray tile-roofed house.
As he approached, Chen Shuncai kicked his stirrups and dismounted.
He tied the horse carefully aside, then pushed the door open and entered the house.
Obviously this is a restaurant.
Although it is impossible to have a very good cook in the wilderness, he can always cook hot food, which is much better than Chen Shuncai eating dry food by himself.
He even smelled meat.
Chen Shuncai took a deep breath.
Mmm, it smells so good This has to be what the stew tastes like, there's no mistaking it.
Chen Shuncai walked inside and shouted: "Is there anyone there?"
But no one replied to him.
Hey, this restaurant is really weird.
The entire tile-roofed house is divided into front and back rooms, with a small courtyard in the middle for separation.
Chen Shuncai came out of the front room and entered the courtyard.
He looked around and found that there were many weapons and even firecrackers in the yard, and he couldn't help but become vigilant.
How could a normal restaurant have these things that are only available in the army?
Could it be that he entered a black shop?
Chen Shuncai felt shuddered when he thought of this, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead and he could no longer walk.
What should we do now and go back the way we came?
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Shun realized that this might be the best choice.
Just as he was about to turn around, he heard someone shouting from the back room: "You're here, don't you want to meet this friend?"
Chen Shuncai couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
He thought to himself that since there was someone in this room, why didn't he respond just now?
"Someone was on his way and saw smoke rising from the kitchen here.
He thought it was a restaurant, so he came to take a look.
Now it seems it was a misunderstanding."
Chen Shuncai tried his best to appear calm, but his voice was trembling, which undoubtedly betrayed him.
"Everyone here is a visitor.
Come in and have a chat."
Chen Shun then realized that he couldn't leave easily, so he bravely walked towards the back room.
Chen Shuncai gritted his teeth and pushed open the door.
As soon as he entered the room, a thick smoke hit his face.
He opened his eyes wide and looked around, only to realize that there was a cauldron in the middle of the room.
The cauldron was filled with water and was being burned on the fire.
Who would use a tripod instead of a pot for cooking?
Chen Shuncai felt more and more something was wrong.
But now it is impossible for Chen Shuncai to leave.
He stood there in a daze, like a wooden stake.
Finally, a man in his forties came out of the thick smoke.
He held a wooden stick in his hand and put it into the cauldron to stir.
"If you put too much meat, you have to stir it all the time, otherwise it will all stick together and affect the taste."
Chen Shuncai heard that the man spoke in Chinese, so he responded in Chinese: "I wonder what kind of meat is being cooked here."

"Guess what."
The man smiled sinisterly and said while stirring the stick: "Beef, mutton, pork, or human meat."
Chen Shuncai's hair stood up when he heard the word human flesh.
Damn, this is really a shady store "Haha, I'm kidding."
The man smiled and said quietly: "This friend is going to Texas."
Chen Shuncai replied very stiffly: "Yes."
"Dezhou is the territory of the Ming Army.
Are you looking for death by keeping this braid?"
Only then did Chen Shun notice that the man didn't have braids, and his heart felt even colder.
This is still within the territory of Northern Zhili and is within the control of the Qing army.
If this person dares to brazenly leave his braids, he is either a bandit or a spy of the Ming army.
Chen Shuncai felt that the former was more likely.
After all, this person exuded a strong bandit aura that could not be covered up.
"It's just a change of lifestyle."
Chen Shuncai said Qi Qiran.
"It's interesting to have a different way of living.
It's really interesting."
The man put down the wooden stick in his hand, swallowed his saliva and said, "So you are not satisfied with the way you lived before."
Chen Shuncai's mouth twitched and he said sadly: "I used to live like a dog
