The back garden of the capital, Changping County. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the sky dawned, Liu Shuangli was already wandering around the county town.

Because he had already walked around yesterday, Liu Shuangli already knew the layout of the city, and when he walked again today, he became familiar with a lot. In addition, if you don't have Lian'er with you, it's much easier to act by yourself.

Along the way, in addition to asking passers-by about the situation of the Zhengbei Alliance and the bandits who lost contact, the other is to keep an eye on the flow of people in various parts of the city. Liu Shuangli hopes to find special characters in the rivers and lakes from these people coming and going.

It's a pity that after looking for a morning, Liu Shuangli never gained anything.

At noon, Liu Shuangli casually bought a bowl of noodles at a roadside stall and dealt with it.

In the afternoon, Liu Shuangli continued to ask people in the city, paying attention to the passers-by who came and went. When he was thirsty, he picked up two fruits from the old woman the day before to quench his thirst. It is said that the fruits given by the old woman are really effective, although the entrance is too sour, but it is really effective in quenching the thirst in the mouth.

In this way, Liu Shuangli inquired in the city for a long time.

She felt strange, not to mention the bandits in the mountains who had lost contact with her, but to say that the people of the Zhengbei League, with her in the past two days, had been constantly inquiring about the situation in the city, and if they had paid attention, they should have known that someone was looking for them. She shouldn't have to look for it anymore, those people should take the initiative to find her. But no, seeing that an afternoon had passed like this, Liu Shuangli still had no gain.

As the sun gets darker, there are fewer pedestrians on the streets.

Liu Shuangli looked at the sky, shook his head with a wry smile, and looked at what he had found today, thinking that Lian'er must have waited in a hurry, she couldn't delay any longer, turned around and walked towards the inn.

The days of winter are short, and before the unitary time arrives, the sky is completely dark.

Liu Shuangli bypassed a high-gate mansion from the city avenue and walked back along the city wall. After walking for a while, because I walked into the market, it was late, most of the shops had stopped business, and there were no residential houses in the surrounding area, and this section of the road was very quiet.

The sun had set in the west, the moon was slowly rising in the east, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street.

Liu Shuangli walked lightly on the empty alleyway.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound from the high wall. Liu Shuangli was startled, and immediately felt a cold wind behind him. She instinctively leaned sideways. Then I saw a cold light flash, and a bright dagger was forked on the high wall on the other side.

The high walls are made of bluestone bricks and tiles, and they are extremely hard. But this seemingly unfavorable dagger is not as deep as the wall. And under the dagger, there is also a note nailed to it.

Liu Shuangli was startled again, and looked back at the high wall. She frowned, stepped forward, pulled out the dagger, took the note, unfolded it, and saw that there were eight words written on it in thick ink: Hades is here, pay attention to safety.

Hades?

As soon as he saw these two words, Liu Shuangli naturally thought of Yama Shop.

Could it be that the people from Yama Shop searched for this? That's why the bandits who had seen them the night before had an accident?

Liu Shuangli thought of this, and his heart jumped violently.

Hades? Oh no, Lian'er.

Liu Shuangli pulled his legs and ran, his heart jumped suddenly, and he was so anxious that he wanted to fly to the inn immediately and see Lian'er.

Rushed to the inn, jumped to the backyard, and had no intention of going up the stairs again, and flew directly to the second floor where they lived.

The door was unlocked, and it opened with a push of the hand.

Liu Shuangli's heart had already risen to her throat, and an ominous premonition only hit her heart.

"Lian'er, Lian'er. ”

Liu Shuangli took the lightest step, whispered continuously, and walked into the guest room step by step.

No one answered. The teapots and cups on the outer table are neatly arranged, and the quilts on the bed in the inner room are also folded in an orderly manner. Lian'er was gone, and the package she had left in the room was gone. This room is so clean and quiet that it seems like no one has ever lived in it.

With a 'pounce', Liu Shuangli fell to his knees.

"Lian'er. Liu Shuangli exhaled in pain. She didn't notice that someone behind her followed his steps into the house.

"Guest officer. ”

A soft cry with apologies woke up Liu Shuangli, who was crying out in pain. She turned her head sharply and stared up at the shopkeeper.

This is exactly the tip she gave when she went out in the morning, and asked him to help lock the door of the guest room, and then bring it to the shopkeeper who delivered lunch.

"Guest officer, I'm really sorry," the shopkeeper bowed, made a bitter face, and said cautiously, "The guest officer asked me to lock the door and prevent the guest officer's sister from coming out, and I listened and complied." The morning was fine, but after the guest officer's sister woke up, she cried for a while, and then probably because she was tired, she didn't make a sound. At noon, I brought lunch to the guest officer's sister. At that time, the guest officer's sister was fine, and I blocked it several times when I wanted to escape to the guest room. However, I didn't want to be on me, just when I came back to clean up the dishes and chopsticks after half an hour, a group of black-clothed people suddenly appeared in the guest room, and I couldn't help but say, when they saw me, they pushed me to the ground, and the man's hands were so heavy, I fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. Then I saw those people come forward and grab the guest officer's sister. Hey, poor little girl, she was knocked unconscious by those men before she could scream. Then I watched as the men picked up the guest officer's sister and left, but could do nothing. The guest officer, the little one is really sorry, watching the guest officer's sister being taken away, but he can't stop it. ”

Liu Shuangli stared blankly at the shopkeeper, and it took a long time to wake up, what did he just say.

"You mean that my sister was knocked unconscious and taken away, who is that?" Liu Shuangli stood up and asked in a trembling voice facing the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I've never seen those people." ”

"What kind of clothes are they wearing?" asked Liu Shuangli again.

"Well, the clothes - all black tights. The shopkeeper replied again.

"Black tights?"

"Yes. ”

Liu Shuangli looked at the shopkeeper in a daze, then looked back at the neat and clean guest room, and was silent for a while.

"You said that when you turned around to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, they suddenly broke in and took my sister's daughter?" After a long silence, Liu Shuang suddenly asked again.

"Yes. ”

Liu Shuangli was silent again.

The shopkeeper looked at her curiously.

Suddenly, Liu Shuangli's voice raised by three points: "Why?"

"Guest officer, what's wrong with you?" said the shopkeeper Erqi.

"Why are you lying to me?" Liu Shuangli's voice raised again.

"Guest officer-" The shopkeeper was shocked by Liu Shuangli's questioning and took a step back.

"This house looks like it has been carefully cleaned up," Liu Shuangli's eyes burst into flames, "Why did you do this? Also, there are traces of undried water that can be seen on the ground. If you just break in and take people away in two clicks, do you need to go to such trouble cleaning the room? Say, what happened before, what do you want to hide? My sister, what happened to my sister?"

Liu Shuangli pressed the shopkeeper step by step, and forced the shopkeeper to the corner of the door.

"Guest, no-no-" The shopkeeper's face was pale, his voice trembled, and he couldn't continue to say the rest for a long time.

"What's not?" Liu Shuangli asked sharply.

With a 'snap', the shopkeeper sat down on the ground.

"Guest, you, please calm your anger, please calm your anger. The shopkeeper begged repeatedly.

"You make me angry, who are you?"

"I'm just the second shopkeeper of this inn, just the second shopkeeper, I'm nothing. Guest, I, I didn't think I'm sorry for you. The shopkeeper said in a mournful voice, his head hanging deeply.

"But you've done something sorry for me. Liu Shuangli's words were filled with tears.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry," this time, the shopkeeper knelt straight in front of Liu Shuangli, kowtowing again and again, "The guest officer also saw it, because of the drought in the past few years, people in and outside the city are fleeing in large numbers, and our small shop is also deserted because of this." January is not as good as January, a year is not as good as a year, and this month, there is not a single guest. The guest officer, the guest officer's arrival yesterday, is the first guest officer of the small shop, the small shop this month. The first one, guest officer, you are the food and clothing parents of the small shop. How dare the little one, how dare to offend the guest officer, how dare to do something that is not good for the guest officer. ”

"But you just did it. Liu Shuangli gritted his teeth.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. The shopkeeper cried, "This morning, the guest officer just left with his front foot, and those people, those people came with his back foot." They gave money, much more than the guest officer's. And then he said he wanted a room, and, and—"

When the shopkeeper said this, he couldn't talk anymore for a while.

Liu Shuangli saw that he didn't say anything, so he could only ask, "And what?"

"Moreover, it is specified that the guest officer will live in the same room. The shopkeeper said tremblingly.

"What?" Liu Shuangli was stunned, "they, they—"

"The small one didn't want to give, but those people were very arrogant, and they gave a lot of money, and the small one couldn't do it, so they finally gave it. ”

"They, what do they want to do? What about Lian'er, what about my sister-in-law?" Liu Shuangli asked again and again with no clue.

The shopkeeper knelt on the ground and shook his head: "Those people entered the guest room, and they didn't wait for the little one to wake up the guest officer's sister, so they drove the little one out, and then locked the door." The little one didn't know what was going on, and he was afraid that something would happen to the guest officer's sister, so he stood outside and called, but those people didn't pay attention to it. Guest officer, small, small no rules, really no rules. ”

When the shopkeeper said this, he kowtowed again and again to say sorry. Liu Shuangli gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound, and after a long time, she closed her eyes and asked fiercely: "Later, what did you say later, what happened?" (To be continued.) )
