Chapter 30: Unscrupulous Thoughts
Without waiting for the carriage to stop, Ai Ye jumped out of the carriage, and then, without a moment's hesitation, he ran to the city gate.
The little guy in Luofangyuan sitting in the carriage didn't expect this seemingly ignorant child to play tricks with him, and after being stunned for a while, he was suddenly a little panicked, is this little broken child still going to Luofangyuan?
The little boy immediately thought that it was impossible for the little cub to know that he had unscrupulous thoughts about him, and that he must have suddenly seen him out of the city gate, and only then did he know that he was going to send him back, and he was not happy, and the child's mind was often like this, so he jumped out of the carriage, and ran to the city.
"Hey, little cub, stop, come back, come back to me! What are you running? ”
The little guy hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, but Ai Ye, who was full of strength, jumped three times and two times, and the loaches had already rushed into the city gate.
"Quick, quick, turn back, you can't tell that little cub to run back again."
The little man was in a hurry, and yelled at the coachman in a rage.
The coachman didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly shouted at the cattle to turn the head of the car.
The little guy thought about it, and he couldn't pick up a wild child while sitting in the car, so he waved his hand to the busy coachman of the annoyed opponent: "Forget it, don't be busy, I have to chase the little cub, you will go to Luofang Courtyard to ask for the car money later." ”
Where did the coachman dare to say a word, nodded his head again and again, and watched the little guy in Luofang Courtyard run towards the city gate without touching the ground.
The little guy in Luofangyuan can be regarded as some third-rate kung fu, and his footsteps are very strong, but he was a little stunned, and he quickly followed the rushing Ai Ye into the city gate, but Ai Ye was short in stature, and he rushed into the city, looking around blankly, among the people coming and going inside and outside the city gate, none of them was the little cub.
This little guy stomped his feet with hatred, carrying the two gold bars handed over to him by Aunt Wu in his hand, and he didn't have a good idea for a while.
Just take these two gold bars and go back to the proprietress on an errand, which will not only make the proprietress scold, but also impossible to reward him; swallowed the gold bar like this, and lied that he had sent the little cub home, and it was estimated that he couldn't prevaricate.
In case that kid runs back to Fangyuan with a good eye, isn't he looking for death?
In the end, he decided to look for the wild boy everywhere first, and forcibly take him out of the city, so that he could not be told to run back to Fangyuan again.
……
Ai Ye's running into the city is actually not a big plan.
Looking at the little guy in Luofang Courtyard with a smile as if he was going to kill someone, Ai Ye knew that he was going to suffer again.
Ai Ye had no idea what had brought him disaster, but his foreknowledge of the sense of foreboding was very accurate.
After jumping out of the carriage, he chose to run to the city, not because he wanted to be a thief in Fangyuan, but he really found something, and wanted to run back to Fangyuan to find Xie Xiang to administer justice to him.
He was just a child's inexplicable instinct of fear, and felt that the farther he ran out of the city, the more dangerous he became, and he was no match for an adult man.
Although the city is not a good place to go, there are many people in the city, there are many houses, and it is easier to find a place to hide.
Ai Ye has been walking around the city of Wuzhou with his grandfather all the year round, and he knows that the outside of the city is full of wilderness and mountains that should not be called the earth and the earth is not spiritual, and it is often uninhabited for dozens of miles, and Xie Xiang and he were besieged by wild wolves in the valley, which is a good example.
Surrounded by wild wolves, they rushed for a long time, not to mention a person, and they didn't even encounter ghosts.
Although it is impossible for the officials in the city to provide him with any protection, those continuous streets and alleys can easily hide his small body.
After Ai Ye entered the city gate, he immediately ran towards an alley.
He didn't know if the little guy in Luofangyuan who was sitting in the carriage would follow after him? He didn't want to run too far away from the city gate, he was still in a hurry to go back to see if his grandfather had gone home, and he was afraid that his grandfather was worried about him, so he quickly found a hidden place to hide.
After a while, he suddenly remembered what his brother Xie Xiang had told him when he walked out of the cave last night, and in an instant, Ai Ye felt very sad.
However, he quickly denied the thought in his careful eyes: Brother Childe is still in a coma, he must not know anything, it may be someone else who does bad things, and he should not doubt a good person like Brother Childe.
However, he didn't dare to go to Luofang Courtyard to look for Xie Xiang anymore.
At a young age, Ai Ye seems to have read the difficulties and unavoidable difficulties of the world without a teacher.
Ai Ye hid in a mess of firewood and grass stacks in a family's house, he was thin, and he hid just right in a vacant gap inside, and after leaning a little, he saw through the faint gap in the firewood and grass that saw the little guy in Luofangyuan who sent him running in front of him in a hurry.
Ai Ye knew that this alley was a dead end, and he had once strayed in with his grandfather; In the end, I had to turn back.
However, this alley is also the closest and most dilapidated to the city gate, with a lot of messy covering, so he ventured into this alley to take refuge.
Sure enough, after a while, the little guy returned angrily, Ai Ye was so frightened that he held his breath, and when the little guy passed by Ai Ye's hiding place, a wooden stick that was thrown by the owner and extended out blocked the road, and was kicked hard by the annoyed little guy.
Ai Ye suddenly felt the entire stack of firewood and grass tremble, and he was so frightened that he almost cried out.
At this moment, two official-looking people were talking all the way from this dead end, and they came over with a big grin.
The little guy in Luofangyuan knew that these officials were the most untidy people, and they always felt that the people who wore Zhou Zheng had oil and water to squeeze, and he was still carrying two heavy gold bars in his hand, and if he didn't leave quickly, it would be tantamount to looking for death.
If you get into trouble with these officials, Luofangyuan will have to work hard, and the proprietress must not scold him to death?
The frightened Ai Ye only felt that he was about to be discovered, but for some reason the little guy didn't take a closer look at the pile of firewood and grass that he had kicked in, and hurriedly walked outside the alley.
"Lao Chen, you have been hiding in this broken alley these days, and you don't know that there is a lot of trouble outside."
A man whispered in a thick throat.
"I'm too lazy to mix, and the injury on my arm is not neat, so happy that I can't see it out of my mind and don't worry about it, hey...... Lao Li, if you didn't come here, I really didn't want to see it, I didn't bother to go out for a drink. ”
A man's tone of interest was striking.
Lao Li, a loud-talking man, suddenly lowered his voice: "Isn't it that I can't stand being scolded by my grandfather, those bastards, they don't know what to do, and they know all day long that they are doing evil and harming the villagers." ”
Lao Li paused when he said this, as if he didn't want to say anything, but he couldn't help but complain, "Lao Chen, you can talk about it, I usually saw suspicious people with big handcuffs and locked them, yesterday, these bastards ran out of the city and caught a bad old man who went up the mountain to collect medicine......"
He suddenly stopped talking, as if he shook his head helplessly.
Lao Chen, a man with an interested tone, sneered: "It can't be a random arrest, right?" There must be some oil and water on the old man's body that can be squeezed, you really think they are stupid, they can see the silver through the millstone. ”
Lao Li snorted, as if he didn't want to continue discussing this topic, and said: "Lao Chen, you don't lack that money, why do you have to hide in this broken alley, Ming'er can just move me there, and I will be quiet with my uncle." ”
Lao Chen seemed to be very grateful for Lao Li's proposal, and changed his tone: "I've been here since I was a child, and I don't feel any dilapidated and dirty when I'm used to it, and the places where righteous people and gentlemen don't like to come stop disappearing, and no one dares to provoke me anyway; Uncle, how is his old man doing lately? ”
Lao Li: "Thanks to you, the old man's wine and food are okay, I just listen to the drama and chatter every day, and I don't have time to accompany him......"
The two of them chatted all the way and walked forward.
Ai Ye, who was hiding in the stack of firewood and grass, had long forgotten the fear just now, but a careful liver couldn't help but tremble, and he didn't know why, he immediately felt that the old man who said bad things might be his grandfather who went out to find the big reed flower.
Although this kind of thinking is groundless, you must know that the bad old man who comes and goes in Wuzhou City and makes a living by collecting medicine is not only his grandfather, but Ai Ye just thinks that what those two people are talking about is his grandfather.
Because he saw through the gap in the firewood and grass, these two people who were talking all the way were clearly two soapy catchers.
No wonder there is no grandfather everywhere, it turns out that grandpa went out to look for Da Luhua and didn't know what was going on, and he was arrested by the official and put in the official prison?
Grandpa once talked to him that those unreasonable officials never need any reason to arrest people, and the official master is even more confused, as long as he catches people who are quickly put in prison, he thinks they are not good citizens, unless you can get the silver.
But how can grandpa have any silver?
Ai Ye suddenly remembered that his grandfather really had a small ingot of silver on him, that is, the small ingot of silver that Brother Gongzi took from them and gave him a piece of waste medicinal materials to buy clothes.
These terrible officials refused to let go of even that little money?
Thinking of his grandfather, Ai Ye's heart suddenly burned, and he couldn't take care of any danger, hula picked up the dry wood and rotten grass covering his body, and chased after the two catchers in front of him in a hurry, wanting to hear what else they would say?
Helplessly, these two arresters are talking about the murder of the Li Mansion, the second aunt is sure to ask the government to find out the culprit behind the scenes, and punish the quack doctor before agreeing to close the case, which makes the grandfather very angry, and he comes and goes to check every day, but the culprit is not found, and the whole Wuzhou City is jumping ......
Ai Ye didn't dare to go too far ahead, so he could only follow them, turning around and watching them chat all the way into a tavern.
Ai Ye didn't dare to go inside, he knew that a child like him, ragged and without an adult with him, the bartender in the tavern would not allow him to go in.
However, he remembered his grandfather's tightness, and thought that the old man mentioned by the two officials must be his grandfather, and he couldn't be sure, so he hugged his little shoulders and squatted not far from the door of the tavern, wanting to wait for the two officials to be full of wine and food, and see if he could come forward and inquire?
