Forty-nine, Li Lin Village
The old woman who took them in lived alone, and there was only one utility room in the courtyard where she could barely lie down. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info there are too many messy things in the house, and the smell is very unpleasant.
Xiao Bao'er came out with her nose covered as soon as she entered, "I'll go to the stable." ”
Yao Xitong didn't dislike the utility room, looked left and right, and said, "I can finally lie down and sleep." ”
Xiao Baoer said nonchalantly, "If you die ten years early, you can lie down every day." ”
"I just don't eat fried cakes, what's the matter, can you curse me like this? The stables suit you well, close to the hut. Yao Xitong said this in his mouth, but handed the jar of medicine that could be used as honey to Xiao Bao'er, "Wipe it before going to bed, so as not to provoke horse lice." ”
"Don't. ”
"Be kind to the liver and lungs of a donkey, go to bed early, and don't provoke the villagers. ”
Xiao Bao'er picked up the quilt and left, and said before going out, "I want you to take care of it." ”
Yao Xitong looked at her back and muttered to herself: It's really stingy, I knew that I would have eaten the bowl of fried cakes.
Either way, he was happy to come out of the desert alive. It's rare to lie down and rest for the night, and it's best that no one gets him in trouble!
The old woman's stable had only one trough and two piles of dry firewood, Xiao Bao'er leaned on the stack of firewood to talk to Doc, and just a little sleepy when she heard that there seemed to be someone behind the stack of firewood. She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, and when the man came around to the front, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.
"Ahh
She wanted to be scared, but she was scared of herself. I saw the person on the other side with red hair, blue eyes, and white skin, isn't this the interracial woman today?
The man kept telling her not to scream, but if she didn't, she was afraid that her screams would have woken up the villagers.
Xiao Bao'er is not a coward, but a person who was burned to slag came back to life in the middle of the night, and anyone who encountered this kind of thing would be afraid.
She asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?" The man opened his mouth wide, and his tongue was not visible in his black cavernous mouth. She only felt that her scalp was numb, and she instantly got goosebumps, "Oh my God, there really is a Rakshasa ghost, you are a Rakshasa ghost?"
The visitor shook his head and took out a handkerchief with words written on his body and showed it to her.
The dark red handwriting was unusually obvious on the white silk handkerchief, and she hurriedly read it and followed the visitor towards an ancestral hall in the center of the village.
The silk handkerchief does not belong to the person who came.
According to the book on the silk handkerchief, his lord and his sister danced in the theater troupe. I heard that the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, most of them were recruiting dancing girls, and in order to seek better development, the sisters left the troupe and went to Dadu.
Unexpectedly, I got lost halfway and was lured to the village to spend the night, this seemingly ordinary village is actually a bandit's den. The fellow businessman was killed, and the sisters were raped ~ by the village men in turn that night.
To prevent the sisters from escaping, the villagers cut off their tongues, tied their hands and feet with ropes, and left marks on them as if they were cargo. The elder sister didn't want to do this for the rest of her life, so she broke her thumb in pain, broke free from the rope, and wrote a bloody letter, hoping that the person she saw would save their sisters.
Xiao Baoer guessed that the person who came was her sister, and in the middle of the night, she looked similar to her sister, and she was so frightened that she thought that the dead ghost had become a deaf.
She followed her "sister" to the ancestral hall in the village, and the "sister" stood at the door and made a "ho-ho" voice to signal her to hurry in.
She didn't move, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, "Come out of all the people who pretend to be ghosts, I have seen through your tricks." My sister can bear the pain and break her thumb, why don't you help my sister loosen her bonds? Escape from this place together, but instead spend time writing blood letters, and even looking for me to save people? My sister is dead, and you force my sister to lie to me and want me to throw myself into the net, I'm not so stupid. ”
Wan Lai was silent, and her voice was like thunder on the ground, and it spread far and wide in the village. The "sister" was taken aback, and gestured hard to be unable to speak, seeing that she was unmoved, the "sister" knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, and then wrote and drew on the ground with gravel.
Xiao Baoer can't understand the behavior of her "sister", and her tricks have been exposed, why does this person still help the villagers act?
By the moonlight, she could see that her "sister" was written in Liao. It turned out that the "younger sister" was not the younger sister of the owner of the silk handkerchief, and the owner of the silk handkerchief and his sister are still locked up in the ancestral hall.
The caller was called Sokina, and she was twin sister to the interracial woman in the morning. The two traveled with the caravan to Chendi, where they encountered bandits through the desert. All the men in the caravan were killed, and the women were taken to the village and imprisoned.
What happened to the sisters was not much different from that of the silk sisters, tying up, cutting out their tongues, and branding their backs. Alien twins are rare in the Central Plains, and the bandits want to sell them for a good price, but they have never harmed their bodies.
Not long ago, after hearing that some nobles were willing to pay a high price for their sisters, Sokina found a chance to escape, but her sister Martha was not so lucky. In order to force Sokina out, the bandits constantly tortured Martha, smashing her wrists and ankles with hammers......
Sokina saw all of this and immediately decided to rescue all the women in the village.
Liao Wen was not Suo Jinna's native language, and it took her long time to write and draw so that Xiao Bao'er could barely understand it, and confirmed that the ancestral hall was the place where the victim woman was held.
The more than 30 tablets were a little dazzling under the reflection of the two everlasting lanterns, and in addition to these, there was only a cyan futon left in the entire ancestral hall under the tablets. Xiao Bao'er was a little dumbfounded when she looked at everything in the room, and couldn't figure out where the bandits could imprison the captured woman.
Sokina kept making comparisons, saying that she had been brought in blindfolded, and that she had gone out. Although she couldn't see her surroundings, she remembered the peculiar smell of incense in the ancestral hall, and was sure that she and the rest of the women were imprisoned here.
Xiao Bao'er asked, "You mean there is a secret passage here?"
Sokina nodded.
Finding things is not Xiao Bao'er's strong point, not to mention that this ancestral hall is built alone on a slope, and there are no houses in the front and back, left and right. Thinking like this, she moved the altar vigorously, the wooden shelves were quite heavy, and the floor below was solid.
She really couldn't think of where the entrance to the secret passage would be, except for the spiritual platform, so she had to start tapping along the ground like a headless fly. When she knocked on the futon, she thought the futon was in the way, and wanted to lift it aside, but she never thought that the futon was the entrance to the tunnel. As soon as her hand slammed into the place, the ground sank, and she rolled defenselessly into the secret passage.
The morning air was very fresh, and Yao Xitong stood in the courtyard and stretched comfortably, as if this would drive away the strange smell in the utility room. Seeing that Xiao Bao'er was not boxing in the courtyard like before, he shouted loudly, "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao......"
The old woman was woken up by him, rubbed her eyes and asked, "Childe, can you be quiet this early in the morning?"
"Where's my maid?"
The old woman paused for a moment, "What do you mean by that?"
"My maid is gone. ”
The old woman looked at the stable in the courtyard in surprise, the horse was still there, and the quilt that Xiao Baoer took away last night was also there, but the person who should have slept in the stable was gone. "Childe, the old body went to bed early last night, I really don't know where your maid went!"
Seeing that the old woman's appearance was not like lying, Yao Xitong strode under the tree where she struck the gong yesterday, and woke up the still sleeping village with the sound of the gong.
Aunt Lin was the first to come out, and when she saw that the person who struck the gong was Yao Xitong, her whole face was gloomy as if she was about to drip.
"I don't know what happened to Childe?"
"My girl is gone. ”
Aunt Lin paused for a moment, "The mountains are steep and the forests are big, she may go out to relax, has the son ever looked for it?"
"No, it won't. Yao Xitong replied categorically, he understood Xiao Bao'er's schedule, and this hour should be the time for boxing.
Seeing that her face was not good, Aunt Lin changed her tone of voice and said coldly: "Childe, you said that she is your girl, and you are to blame for not taking a good look at yourself, her disappearance has nothing to do with our village." ”
"Hmph, I don't care. Since she has disappeared in your village, you have to be responsible for finding her for me, and remember, I only need to be alive, and if she is missing a hair, I will make you look good. ”
The villagers who came one after another heard Yao Xitong's words, and a middle-aged man said: "Since Sister Lin said that there are no girls here, you don't hurry up, go slowly, be careful that we want your life." ”
"What a big breath, my life is hard, Lord Yama doesn't dare to accept it. From now on, I will give you a stick of incense, and if you can't find my girl, you will come to see me. ”
Aunt Lin had never seen such an arrogant person in the rivers and lakes for so many years, she glanced left and right, and the two villagers left in a hurry, apparently looking for someone. The remaining nearly 100 villagers surrounded Yao Xitong in the center, and the outermost villagers had even taken up their weapons.
The scene was about to erupt, and Aunt Lin saw that Yao Xitong was not afraid, and couldn't help but say: "Son, you broke the rules yesterday, and you came to find fault early this morning, did you bully us and no one?"
"Aunt Lin, my maiden name is Lin Yingzi, am I wrong?"
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Lin's already serious face instantly became a little more vigilant, "Childe knows a lot." ”
Yao Xitong sighed, he didn't want to know so much, but unfortunately the bun shop was selling secrets. He said: "Li Tieshu, Lin Yingzi, a well-known bandit husband and wife in the rivers and lakes, with two hundred heroes on the Xialiao border, at the peak of his power, it is said that Lord Chen will give you a few thin noodles." ”
"Five years ago, Great Xia and Northern Liao formed an alliance, and the two countries sent troops together to suppress bandits...... Lin Yingzi was pregnant, and Li Tieshu led nearly 100 brothers to resist desperately all night in order to protect their mother and son. The bandits' lair was trampled by officers and soldiers, and Li Tieshu was killed in battle...... Since then, Lin Yingzi has disappeared, and the story of this bandit couple has become a legend on the border of Xia Liao. ”
The sad past was brought up again, and Aunt Lin said with a gloomy expression, "Since Gongzi knows everything, he should also understand that I have long since washed my hands, and I have taken my brothers here to make a living by farming all these years." ”
"Haha...... Haha......" Yao Xitong laughed loudly, "It's the same as true, is that the case? Peaches raise people, apricots hurt people, and dead people are buried under plum trees." The so-called Muzi Village, which should be called Li Lin Village, looks like a village, but it is actually a bandit village, and the trees around the village are buried with the corpses of passing caravans. ”
As soon as the words were clear, Aunt Lin put away the humility that a village woman should have, stared at Yao Xitong viciously and said, "As soon as I met yesterday, I knew that Gongzi was very human, and I specially ordered my subordinates not to touch you, the disappearance of that girl really has nothing to do with us." ”
Yao Xitong looked up at the sky, not caring at all whether Aunt Lin's words were true or not. He said slowly, "Half of the incense has passed, and there is not much time left for you, hurry up and find someone with me." ”
Aunt Lin didn't speak, waiting for her subordinates to reply, while assessing Yao Xitong's strength.
Not far away, a villager quietly lit an incense stick, and the fan was still fanning vigorously in winter, which looked indescribably weird.
Yao Xitong saw what he was doing early in the morning, and he couldn't help but say, "Drunk and carefree is not used like this, it's really luxurious." ”
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Lin's eyes widened and she looked at him again. Suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with the bun shop?"
Yao Xitong smiled and said nothing, this move became more and more mysterious in Aunt Lin's eyes, and he couldn't help but say, "Childe is a person from the bun shop......?
"Haha...... Haha......"
Yao Xitong laughed again, and interrupted Aunt Lin's words, "The bun shop is only responsible for selling things, when did it get involved with you gangsters?"
One of them shouted: "Boss, let's not talk nonsense with this sissy, let's go." ”
"It's so daring, it's useless for me to get drunk. If you don't want to die, I suggest you hurry up and help me find the girl. ”
Aunt Lin stopped her subordinates, and after so many years of wandering the rivers and lakes, it was the first time she had met someone like Yao Xitong.
looks like a weak scholar, but with so many unknown secrets in his stomach, he can easily tell everything about Li Lin Village. Yesterday, I felt that he was not the same as the so-called maid, and thinking of the rumors she had heard recently, she asked: "What is the identity of that girl, if you tell me, maybe I can help you find her." ”
Li Tieshu died in the joint encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers of Great Xia and Northern Liao, how can Xiao Baoer's identity be said?
Yao Xitong looked up at the sky in silence and said softly: "It's time for a stick of incense, where is my girl?"
Aunt Lin looked around at the crowd, and the people sent out earlier had returned one after another. Touching her gaze, they all shook their heads slightly. They searched the neighborhood, but they really didn't find the woman from yesterday, and it was as if she had disappeared out of thin air.
Things have developed like this, according to Yao Xitong, if you can't find a girl, you can't be good. Hearing that some of his subordinates were clamoring to kill Yao Xitong, Aunt Lin didn't squeak, which was a tacit consent that they could do it.
The first person to move was Yao Xitong, who took out a handkerchief from his bosom to cover his eyes, and looked like a person who was going to fight a duel with the bandits.
At the same time, the bandits surrounding him also moved. Nearly a hundred people fought one, winning or losing very clearly, and the young bandit was even talking, "What is this person doing, why is he covering his eyes, is he afraid?"
"Who knows, it's rare to see such a beautiful man, it's a pity to die like this!"
The sound of killing was everywhere, but Yao Xitong, who was standing in place, was gone, and everyone looked up, only to see him flying up like a butterfly, and then shuttling lightly through the crowd.
Aunt Lin knew that she had met a master, and she was about to turn around and run away, but she felt a chill in her chest, and the vitality of life disappeared so easily.
At the moment of death, this female bandit who had been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades and was lucky enough to escape the officers and soldiers said softly, "It turns out that I don't want to see blood when I cover my eyes!"
