Chapter 145: I'm Not a Hero
"The 'nursing home' only takes in homeless orphans, why would it take you in?" Yin Ren looked at the young man and asked.
"Uh......, I ......" The young man blinked, seeing Yin Ren's faint expression, he didn't mean to ask him, he lowered his head and thought about it, then raised his head and said, "My father...... When I came to Xiangyang to visit friends, because I refused to take me, I secretly followed my father without telling my family, and I also came to Xiangyang. ”
Yin Ren and Zhao Xian glanced at each other, exchanged glances, and continued to listen quietly.
"After coming to Xiangyang, the money on my body was accidentally stolen, and I lost my father for a while, and I pretended to be a beggar to beg for food in desperation, but I was deceived into the 'nursing home' that day, I thought I had a place to live temporarily, who knows ......." The boy's expression was indignant.
"Isn't the nursing home going to give you food?" Yin Ren joked.
"It's not, the food is full, and there is a place to sleep, I still want to secretly go to my father in two days, and leave that place after I find it, but I don't know that this 'nursing home' is allowed to enter and not leave, and the management is extremely strict."
"Where do you say 'nursing home'? Leave you to eat and drink as you please? If so, everyone goes to the nursing home to eat. Yin Ren sneered.
"You don't know, if you are not allowed to enter and exit at will, I will admit it. It's just yesterday that I heard someone whispering that there is a shortage of people on the island recently, and I need to pick some sturdy male babies and smart female babies to send them over. Where is this nursing home? Why do people need to be sent elsewhere? I can't go! The boy pouted.
"Did you take advantage of the heavy rain tonight to sneak out, but you were chased by the nursing home? Coincidentally eyeing our carriage and deliberately being hit in order to blackmail us? Yin Ren snorted.
The young man was told that he was in his heart, and his face turned red, but he still held his head high and defended: "This matter is my fault, but I am also forced to do so, this brother can rest assured, when I find my father, I will repay you!" ”
"That's not necessary, we didn't say we wanted to help you, so how can we repay you?"
"You...... If you don't save you when you die, it's not a hero's doing! The boy blushed and said angrily.
"Ha Lu Ha! Are you a hero if you are saved? I'm just a businessman, and I'm not used to doing that heroic thing. Yin Ren said with a smile.
On a rainy night, not long after Yin Ren's carriage left, several men came on horseback wearing robes and hats.
"What about the stinky boy?" One asked.
"I saw him running towards here, there is nowhere to hide here, he must have run away."
"I heard the sound of wheels before, and it was obvious that a carriage was passing by."
"Look! There was a carriage in front of him, didn't he get into that carriage? One of them pointed ahead and shouted.
"Why don't you chase after it?"
After the conversation fell, several people led their horses and galloped forward, and after a while, they saw the back of the carriage.
"Now that you're fine, you can get out of the car in front." Yin Ren said coldly.
"You're ......!" The young man never thought that Yin Ren was so resolute, and he trembled his lips and couldn't speak.
"Shh Yin Ren suddenly made a silent gesture, the sound of horses' hooves in the rainy night had reached his ears, Yin Ren sighed and said, "Trouble is coming!" ”
The young man was startled, thinking that he didn't want to be arrested again, but seeing that Yin Ren didn't seem to be able to speak, the young man leaned forward, grabbed Zhao Xian's sleeve, and pleaded with his eyes: "Good sister!" Isn't it true that you can't be saved even if you die? ”
"Let it go!" Yin Ren saw that the young man grabbed Zhao Xian, and his expression became cold.
Zhao Xian gently broke away from the young man's hand and said with a smile: "I can't be the master." ”
The young man's eyes were anxious, he thought for a moment, lowered his head and gritted his teeth, took a piece of jade pendant from his neck, handed it to Zhao Xian, and said: "This is my ancestral token, if you bring this token to my father, there will be a rich reward." ”
Zhao Xian casually took the jade pendant and looked at it, this is a piece of pure and delicate texture, the color of the best "clotted fat white jade", on which a golden rooster is vividly engraved, obviously not ordinary, but Zhao Xian did not see anything special, so he handed the jade pendant to Yin Ren.
Yin Ren traveled south and north, he saw extraordinary, he took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and when he saw the golden rooster, his heart moved, and asked, "Where is your home?" What is it called? ”
"I ...... My family, in Dali, my name is Su'an! The boy struggled for a while, but finally said it.
"Dali?" Yin Ren's heart jumped suddenly, as if he thought of something, but his face was silent, he returned the token to the young man, and said: "Ancestral tokens, just accept them, don't let people be allowed easily!" ”
"That'...... Did you promise to save me? The young man silently took back the jade pendant, but still asked uneasily.
"Now I can't afford not to save me!" Before Yin Ren's words fell, the carriage had slowed down until it stopped.
Yin Ren opened the door of the carriage and looked out, the heavy rain outside had already turned light, and in the hazy drizzle, he saw a few people riding on horses and stopping the carriage. Through the two dim lamps hanging outside the carriage, I saw that the faces of the people on the horse were hidden under the hats, and they could not see their true faces.
"Who are you waiting for? Why did you stop the carriage? The coachman asked aloud, and his voice was muffled through the rain.
"Put down the boy in the car, I'll leave immediately! If not...... Hum! One man snorted in a hoarse voice.
"What are you to dare to ask us for someone?" The coachman's whip pointed at the man with disdain.
"Less nonsense! To put it or not to put it? Another tugged at the reins impatiently.
"Don't let go!" The coachman saw that the door of the carriage behind him was opened, and Yin Ren did not say that he wanted the young man to leave, and he had already understood the child's intentions.
"Then don't blame me for being rude." One of them smiled sheepishly.
"Lao Hu, leave it to you!" Yin Ren lazily commanded.
"Yes, Childe," the coachman Lao Hu replied loudly, touched the horsewhip in his hand, and grinned at the person opposite.
Yin Ren glanced at it a few times, no longer interested, and casually closed the carriage door again.
"Now tell me, who is your father visiting in Xiangyang?" Yin Ren turned around and stared at the young man named Su An.
Su An said: "I only know that it is my father's old friend for many years, and it seems that he is terminally ill, and my father came in a hurry, and I didn't even find out that I secretly followed." ”
"Who is your father?"
"My father ......, my father is ......", Su An finally shook his head and said, "This is not to be said." ”
"So how can I help you find someone?"
"Ahh Will you help me find my daddy? Su An said happily, and then said gloomily: "It's just that I promised my father that I wouldn't say his name after I left." ”
"Names? Are you surnamed Duan? Yin Ren asked.
"Huh? How do you know the way? Su An opened her mouth wide.
Seeing Su An's expression, Yin Ren became more and more sure of the guess in his heart, and said, "In a few days, I will help you find it." ”
At this time, the voice of the coachman Lao Hu sounded outside: "Childe, those people have already been dismissed." ”
Su An was stunned, and opened his mouth to stammer: "This ...... Too fast, right? ”
Yin Ren nodded, knocked on the carriage door three times, and the carriage continued to move, as if the pause was just a small episode.
