Chapter 236: The Reason for Leaving
The young man's heart tensed and trembled. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It was a different feeling than it had been when he had been with the innkeeper.
If it was the innkeeper's scolding, because he had been working here for several years, he would not be so timid.
He didn't know if it was the cold wind blowing in from outside, or if the guest in front of him looked too indifferent.
Looking at the relationship where the aura is also cold, it has become the reason why he is afraid!
The young man was stunned for no reason.
He had a vague feeling in his heart that he always felt that the guest in front of him looked unpleasant.
The young man stared at the stove for a few seconds, staring at the plate of snacks all the time.
The young man at the inn has already made it very clear that this is a snack made by Xiaoling's guy, saying that it was specially made for him to eat.
"When that guest made a snack last night, he said he wanted to give me one!"
The young man raised his head and stared at the young man for a moment, then recalled for a moment and said, "But the lights in your room were extinguished at that time, and he was afraid of disturbing you, so he didn't send it off." ”
"He mentioned it when he talked to me, and he said he would save it for you to eat in the morning."
He thought about it and put the snack here.
The young man's eyes flickered, he took a deep breath, and asked the young man patiently, "What next?" What happened next? ”
The young man continued the conversation with the young man's question, and he settled down and continued: "Later, he mentioned to me that he had to borrow the kitchen stove. ”
The young man looked thoughtful, then raised his head and frowned at the young man and said, "You go on." ”
The young man said intermittently: "He is planning, he is going to boil some medicine, and he said that he is going to ...... What to take with you on the way to the Northlands. ”
"I was walking around the inn at that time."
The young man at the inn emphasized deliberately: "Our shopkeeper ordered him to get up in the middle of the night to check, and he also knows it, I mentioned it to him." ”
The young man paused and said, "There were guests who came to stay last night. ”
"I was receiving at the door at the time, and after a while, he came to the door to look for me, and I saw that he was still carrying a medicine bag in his hand!"
The innkeeper recounted as much as he could from the events of last night.
I think I've said it very carefully, and I haven't missed any key points.
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong, how could that guest suddenly disappear without a trace, who had been boiling medicine in a good manner?
Something must have happened last night, but if it was a burglar at the inn...... At least the guy didn't see anything missing.
He looked down and thought to himself, could it be that the people who lived in the inn upstairs who had not yet gotten up, had a thief entered their room last night?
There weren't many guests checking in last night, so it wouldn't be too difficult for the guy to check it out.
...... The boy subconsciously glanced at the courtyard outside.
It was still early in the morning, and the lights in the rooms in the inn were lit one after another.
They are not better than the north of the town, and the guests who live there often plan to go out early, or even go directly to the north, and when choosing a place, they deliberately chose the location near the official road in the north of the town.
Guests who live in the center of town like to go out for a drink, and that area is the most convenient location in the town.
Like this inn where the boy is, there are almost no two kinds of guests, and most of the guests who stay here are those who like to be quiet.
They chose a quiet alley in the town, a quiet inn, and most of them came to the town to visit relatives and friends.
The young man glanced at him, immediately lowered his head to avoid his gaze, and explained, "To tell you the truth, I think what happened last night is really strange. ”
"I woke up in the morning and thought I was dreaming!"
The young man froze and carefully recalled the habits he had learned from his previous contact with that guy from Xiaoling.
The young man looked at the young man at the inn and asked, "Did he leave halfway through the medicine or did he ......?"
The timing is also quite critical, at least in the eyes of the teenager, it can reflect a lot of problems.
"I'm not hiding it from you, because I really can't figure it out...... I'll tell you a little bit more about last night...... It was so cold last night that the well water in the yard was frozen. ”
The young man paused with a bitter face and continued: "I originally told him last night, saying that I would go to the door and bring a bucket of water to boil medicine for him. ”
"It's hard to get water from the well, and you can't use water to boil medicine."
The boy nodded slightly, and made a gesture for the young man at the inn to continue.
The young man paused, glanced at him and pointed to the staircase facing the side of the backyard and said, "Before delivering water, I walked to the side of the stairs, thinking that it would not be too late to patrol around again." ”
"But I didn't expect that I would be dazed and dizzy later, as if I had been beaten."
After the young man said this, the young man's face suddenly changed.
If Xiaoling walks away by herself, that's another matter, but if something goes wrong......
"I just don't understand, when I woke up, I was still in the room at the door," the innkeeper said in a changed tone, "but when I came back, there was no trace of anything suspicious here." ”
In the next second, the young man reached out and dragged the young man close to him.
"Hey, what are you doing, you!"
"That's right, you've been knocked unconscious, and there's a mark on the back of your neck."
The people of the Yuwen family have a wealth of experience in going out and about, and they are more keenly aware of missing traces than others, including some inconspicuous clues.
The young man let go of his hand, looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Since I see the problem, I'll go to the yard to take a look immediately." ”
The boy took a few steps, turned his head to look at the young man and asked, "You were knocked unconscious at the top of the stairs?" ”
"Well, when I woke up in the morning, the door of the inn to the alley was hidden and had been touched," the young man looked at him, and said in a serious and earnest tone, "Our shopkeeper will never come so early." ”
The boy asked him, "Were you alone in the inn last night?" ”
"That's right, I'm alone." The young man nodded.
The young man asked, "Your inn is not big, tell me, how many people are usually in the inn?" ”
The young man replied in a serious tone again: "The people in the inn...... In addition to our shopkeeper, there is another one who has to do things besides me. ”
"Didn't you last night?"
"They weren't there last night, it's just me!"
The boy walked to the stove and looked at it for a moment, and this time his eyes were sharper, and even the horns were smeared.
The boy leaned down and looked at the ground, except near the stove.
After waiting for a moment, he stretched out his fingers and stained some of the crevices with the powder.
...... With these medicines, he knew that the young man was not lying, at least the medicinal materials had indeed been cut here, and the young man knew that Xiaoling had this preference.
They came out of Nanhua Town, and the guy on the road was not in a hurry all the time, but stopped again and again to dig herbs and compare the pattern of a booklet he was carrying.
I don't know what he's thinking!
It is said that people who study medicine are a bit obsessed, and they are obsessed with what they want to do, which is a kind of concentration.
People who are obsessed with martial arts also have the same temperament.
The young man secretly speculated about the current situation in his heart, and he had a momentary panic after confirming the news at the beginning, and now he realized more truly that there was a trace of confusion in his anxious mood.
In the end, did Xiaoling leave by herself, or was it ...... Hijacked and taken away?
It's not the first time that Xiaoling guy has left him.
Now it's not on the way to Suzhou, and there are almost no mistakes.
Could it be the group of people you met while eating in a small town?
If it's associated with a different race...... No, it won't, the boy immediately denied this statement in his heart.
If they have an attempt, it should be done simultaneously, at least leaving a message to make a request.
It will definitely not be as quiet as it is now, and there is a feeling that you want to hide your whereabouts.
If Xiaoling left by himself, but when he wrapped his clothes and handed him over to him before going to bed last night, he was still in good condition, and there was no abnormal condition at all.
If I'm not mistaken, the guy is still a little touched in his eyes when he holds the baggage.
Didn't you say this morning that you would take a car to the Northland?
Could it be that he didn't want to go on the road with him after all, just like when he was in Suzhou, he quietly looked for an opportunity to slip away, and even the little guy in the inn was knocked out by him, for fear of alarming other guests?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through the young man's mind for a while, like a marquee.
He tried to adjust his emotions, then reached out and pushed his forehead, turned to look at the young man and said, "I'll go upstairs to his room and have a look, and you can also go to the front yard to look for it." ”
"I'll come back to you later."
...... When the boy arrived upstairs, he was a little nervous when he pushed the door.
He hesitated for a moment before gently pushing the door open.
In fact, before going downstairs, he knocked on the door, but did not answer in the slightest, and pushed the door open to take a look.
It's just that this time I came in differently than before.
The boy stood in the room, which was furnished in a room similar to the one he lived in, and was not much different in structure.
The window was still closed, and the boy walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked out.
There was no one in the front yard of the inn.
The boy turned back to the table, glanced towards the bed, and could see that Xiaoling had not slept at all.
The original neatly folded bedding on the bed looked just as neat and uncluttered, and it was not a sign that someone had slept with it.
The boy withdrew his gaze, and this time, he reached out and opened the burden on the table.
It can be clearly seen that Xiaoling stacked the clothes he bought by himself with the ones he bought newly, and packed them to prepare to take them away.
Then, the half-empty baggage, the medicinal herbs in it were gone, and the young man picked up the items one by one to inspect them.
He was caught by one of the tightly wrapped things, leaning in, he hesitated for a moment and then gently opened it.
The boy stared at it for a long time, and he couldn't see what it was, but he thought it was a strange thing, but he couldn't guess what it was intended for.
I think that Xiaoling guy knows medical skills, and he can probably use it for patients!
The boy slowly recovered the baggage, and after thinking about it, he simply tied the two baggage straps together.
This makes it easier to get carried away.
...... The first stop for the Sea Guard's escort was a gambling house in the town.
Speaking of which, this is the only one in the town at the moment, and I heard that there were several of them in the past, and each of them had a very good business.
Dawn was not the time when the gambling house was booming, so when they walked in, the people inside looked a little sad.
"Why did the Lord let us come here to inquire about the news?"
"I don't know, it's probably because the lord thinks that the little junior sister has been to the gambling house before, maybe she will come here to try her luck."
"I heard that if the money is not enough, people will come to the gambling house to make up the number!"
The guard who spoke lowered his voice and said, "I don't know why that young master is so stumbling? Can he afford to settle a big mansion in Suzhou, and he doesn't bring money when he goes out? ”
"You may be mistaken, I've heard people talk about this matter, saying that the little junior sister has always had a weird personality, maybe people just like to use the money they have won, and they don't want to stretch out their hands!"
"What's the difference, it's not silver?"
"We're just as guarded as those guys, can we?"
The guard who spoke said angrily, he glanced at his companion and shook his head: "Let's go and go back quickly, inquire about the news and leave, I want to go to the north of the town to meet the lord as soon as possible." ”
He paused and said, "After all, the most likely exit in the town right now is just north of the town. ”
"Are you afraid that there will be too many cars going out during the day, so we may not be able to take care of it?"
"You're right to understand it that way, let's finish this place as soon as possible, and then go to Zhenbei."
......, "Miss, you go slower, the stone steps of this bridge are too steep." ”
The little maid looked at the figure walking in front of her.
The other party was wearing a hat that covered his face, and the maid said in her heart that although those veils didn't look as exaggerated as they had heard in some places, they were accidentally brought by the wind and blocked their vision, which was inevitably a little dangerous.
After returning from the escort to report the situation, the young lady of her own house was in a very good mood, and heard that the matter had been done.
Thinking of this, the maid couldn't help but shiver in the cold wind.
Think about the person who was captured, and the next stop should be the battlefield in the Northlands.
I heard that if you run away and get caught, you have to ...... The maid shuddered a few times, and said in her heart, I hope that the young master of the Yuwen family will definitely not know the inside story of this matter.
Otherwise, even she could hardly imagine the consequences that her young lady would have to bear.
They had lived in the Chengdong Mansion of the Yuwen family, and they had more or less heard about the "deeds" of the young master of the Yuwen family.
Looking at the level of respect for his subordinates, those people are still quite a few when they arrive in the town, just in case ...... The maid didn't dare to think about it.
The beautiful figure walking in front of her stopped in place, she turned her head to look at the maid who was a little distracted, and said in a cold tone: "What are you rubbing, don't keep up quickly!" (To be continued.) )
