Chapter Twenty-Four: The Empty Town

The sun was shining at noon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's late March, but it's still cold. On the warmest day of the day, in the afternoon, in the east of the Qujiang River, in Lianping Town, there was no one on the streets that should be bustling.

Not only that, but the doors of the shops and houses on both sides of the town's streets were closed, and even though the sun hanging high above the zenith tried to remind the time of day, the whole town seemed to have fallen asleep in advance.

At the northeast entrance of Lianping Town, on the side of the dirt road that extends outward, there is a simple tea stall, and the top of a thick wooden pole erected on its right side hangs a huge banner with the word "tea", but there are no shops or tea utensils in the stall, only some porcelain fragments scattered on the ground that seem to have not been cleaned up, and three old wooden tables and a few benches scattered outside the store.

At the side of one of the tables, which was so brown that it was impossible to see its original appearance, sat two rare living people: a large man with vicissitudes of life, with his legs open, his hands pressed on his knees, sitting in a loose position, his face full of tiredness, and yawning, but from time to time he turned his head to look at the dirt road outside the town; A young man with a childish face buried his whole head in the crook of his left arm placed on the table, staring at a silver wire held in his right hand, his eyes full of boredom.

After a long time, the young man slowly spoke: "Brother Long...... How long are you going to stay here? ”

"Be patient." The big man known as Brother Long moved his shoulders slightly, and barely lifted his spirit: "At most tomorrow, if there is no abnormal situation, we can withdraw." ”

After that, Brother Long turned his head to glance, but saw that the young man next to him just lazily raised his body and continued to play with the silver wire in his hand, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Why are you always playing with that thing?" ”

"It's boring." The young man's right hand still pinched the silver wire that was more than two feet long, and the index finger and thumb of his left hand slowly drew along the silk body to the end, and then bent the silver wire into a semicircle, and then gently let go of his left hand, and there were words in his mouth: "Poof......"

Without the oppression of external forces, the silver filament immediately rebounded back to the prototype, stood up, trembling slightly in the sun, like a broken white rose, although the nutrients have been broken, the aura is lost, and the breath is fading, but still trying to maintain the dignity of the last moment of life.

"It's nice to be resilient...... I don't know what kind of material it's made of. The young man was amazed, and at the same time looked at the blood marks on his left index finger and thumb with palpitations: "The toughness is also very good...... It was a little so slippery and fast in the morning that I almost bleed. ”

"Of course, this is a murder weapon that kills people without blinking." Brother Long was quite disgusted by this silver thread: "I don't know how many brothers were stabbed to death by this thing last night...... Ah Cai, it's better to throw it away. ”

"Oh......" Ah Cai heard this, and casually reached out to pull open the collar of the front of the cloth robe, and stuffed the silver filament indiscriminately, but still inadvertently exposed a small half of the silver filament. The clothes he was wearing were very tattered and dirty, not to mention the sourness, and there was a faint sour smell wafting through a few small holes in the placket, which formed a very strong contrast with the silver filaments that glowed from time to time in the sun.

"Actually, I think this thing is relatively rare, so I'll ......keep it for the time being" Seeing that Brother Long was quite dissatisfied with his action of taking in Yinsi, Ah Cai hurriedly put on a smiling face: "Maybe I met someone who understands the goods, and I can exchange some money for flowers." ”

"Tsk...... Look at you. Brother Long's head shook a few times, narrowed his eyes slightly and gave Ah Cai a disdainful look, and his right index finger trembled at Ah Cai at the same time: "There are more rare things in the world, can you stuff everything into your pocket?" What's more, that thing is just a tattered thing thrown away by people, and it is useless at all, who wants it? Ah Cai, Ah Cai, look at your name with the word wealth, but you don't have half a fortune in your life, haha! ”

"That's, that's." Hearing Brother Long laughing, Ah Cai hurriedly took advantage of the situation and went upstream, and continued to belittle himself and praise him: "Let's not see a blue-headed boy with less than half a bowl of water, so like Brother Long has traveled all over the world and has seen a wide range of things?" Having said that, if it weren't for Brother Long's broad-mindedness and allowing the useless person of the little brother to follow him, we would be a life of begging on the streets. ”

"Hehehe!" Brother Long began to get proud: "It's not that I'm bragging, I'm younger than you when I roamed the rivers and lakes, and after more than ten years, not to mention how powerful our martial arts are, but people like us who walk the rivers and lakes with their heads in their heads, if they didn't have a few stunts, coupled with the mind of being careful and cautious in everything, this head would have been lost hundreds of times!" ”

"So! Big brother, I can survive until now, and I still have some experience! Speaking of this, Brother Long pointed to Ah Cai: "Let's take this mission as an example!" Ah Cai, I told you in the morning, what should I do first if I encounter an enemy? ”

"Hmm......" Ah Cai twisted his head, pondered for a while, and only one word popped out of his mouth: "...... Run? ”

"Nonsense!" Brother Long raised his right hand painfully and slapped the tabletop, smashing the old table, which was not firm enough, "squeak" a few times, and the table body also shook a few times: "First of all, you should be calm, wait and see what happens, and judge the strength of the other party!" ”

"As the saying goes, moving like a rabbit, quiet like a virgin, people don't bite me, I don't bite people......" Brother Long shook his head and used idioms indiscriminately, and at the same time did not forget to move the five fingers of his right hand to relieve the feeling of numbness and pain: "For example, if the enemy is nearby now, we can't mess up our positions first, just do what we have to do as if we are not interested in them at all!" For example, drinking tea, reading books, looking at pedestrians on the side of the road, looking at the sun in the sky, etc...... If we don't provoke, they can't come and beat us up for no reason, right? In short, you just can't make yourself look too suspicious! ”

"Brother Long......" Ah Cai said with a bitter face: "There is no tea here, I am illiterate, and no one in the town dares to go to the street until now...... How dazzling is just looking at the sun...... Also, what if I urinate urgently? ”

"Hold it!" Brother Long was heartbroken and used his left hand to slam the poor wooden table again, only to hear a "pop", and the indestructible wooden table was completely beaten into a state of parts, which shocked Brother Long and Ah Cai to stand up and take a few steps back.

"Hmm...... Ahem, clean up first. Brother Long embarrassedly and the silent Ah Cai picked up the pieces of the broken table and threw them aside, then sat down around the other table, adjusted his mood and continued to teach the art of resisting the enemy: "In short, just act when you have the opportunity, not only to avoid attracting the attention of the enemy, but also to monitor and track them, and at the same time to find an opportunity to notify the ...... If you accidentally find out to the enemy, then you have to ......"

"Run?" Ah Cai replied.

"Hmm~" Brother Long didn't object this time: "But, as far as this mission is concerned, if the enemy is too powerful and can't run away and is captured, what can I do?" ”

"That's it...... Honestly explain who you are, what you are going to do, and then you are going there...... Wait a minute? ”

"Oops...... Fool. Brother Long shook his head in disappointment: "Of course you can't pour beans from the bamboo tube." Who believes you when you say that? First of all, you should not say anything, and wait until the enemy threatens you before you say a few words. Moreover, you can only answer at most one of the three questions the enemy asks you, and you can't just say important things! At least wait until the enemy breaks off your fingers and half a hand, so that it seems real and credible, right? ”

"What? Still want to cut off your fingers? Ah Cai was shocked, and his hands clenched violently, as if ten fingers were about to leave him in the next moment.

"Hmph, it's light to break your fingers......" Brother Long raised his head, his expression was first full of contempt, and then he began to feel it: "Walking in the rivers and lakes, living a life of swords and swords, is there anyone who is not injured?" Big brother, I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, and the brothers around me have died one by one, crippled, but I am still a perfect person, which can be regarded as a miracle...... Ah Cai, if you are afraid of even a small injury, then what kind of help are you in? Let's weigh it up. ”

"Hmm......" Ah Cai couldn't answer for a while, and couldn't help but bow his head and ponder. He always listened to Brother Long boast to him about some strange things about the rivers and lakes, and after a long time, he inadvertently regarded the happiness of the rivers and lakes as his supreme ideal, but he never thought that at this time, Brother Long would turn around and talk about diametrically opposite feelings, and he was confused for a while.

"Although it is difficult to join the gang and there are many tests, if you can successfully complete this task, you can not only join the gang, but also get reward miles. But ......" Brother Long looked at Ah Cai, who was a little shaken, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If you don't want to join the gang, it doesn't matter." Big brother has another idea, do you want to listen to it? ”

"Hey, what's that?"

"Actually, the eldest brother is also a little tired of this kind of life where he is worried every day and his life is not guaranteed at any time. I have no old age, no young below, no wife in my thirties, if I have no children in my thirties, won't I live in vain in this life? After that, Brother Long's eyes changed to another longing: "In the past ten years, the eldest brother has also saved some money, thinking that after completing this task, he will simply wash his hands, find a place to do some small business, and then ask for a daughter-in-law, give birth to a baby, and live the life of ordinary people, how good?" Ah Cai, why don't you come and help the eldest brother take care of the store? ”

"Well, but it is said that it is difficult to join the gang, so Brother Long has to quit the gang...... Will it be harder? Ah Cai thought about it and felt that this kind of small life without worrying about the accident of a severed finger seemed to be good, but there was still a worry in his heart.

"Hehe, don't worry about that." Brother Long is quite confident: "We are not important people in the gang, as long as we find an ideal place to stay incognito and not talk nonsense, it is okay to live a peaceful life." And eldest brother, I have no credit and hard work for more than ten years, and I can talk to a few hall masters in charge of this district in the gang, and I believe that no one will come to make it difficult if you want to retire! ”

"However, Brother Long, didn't I always hear you say that there were so many things in the rivers and lakes to seek revenge, and when you quit the gang, what should you do if the enemy comes to the door?" Ah Cai still felt that it was inappropriate.

"That's why I said, the key is a place of seclusion. But then again, as the saying goes, there is a wrong, and there is a debtor, every time the eldest brother goes out to do something, he goes with the group, only fights and does not say anything, even if people want to recognize people for revenge, they will only recognize the leader of the team who speaks, isn't it? Brother Long smiled slyly, and then sighed and told Ah Cai: "But ah, your worries are also a little reasonable, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." The eldest brother has no relatives by his side now, if it is really not good to die, Ah Cai, you remember to dig out the Zhuang ticket that the eldest brother hid under the floor of his house in Wuhua Town and go to Fuxiang Qian Zhuang to exchange, and then give the eldest brother a funeral, don't let the eldest brother die in the wilderness, and there is no place to bury him! ”

"Brother Long, don't talk nonsense." Ah Cai said with a bitter face: "We are still waiting to continue to follow Brother Long to create a new life......

"Haha, it's just a joke, it's just a joke!" Brother Long laughed heartily a few times, then raised his hand to pat Ah Cai's shoulder, and soothed: "Big brother, my life is very blessed, I won't die so easily, don't worry!" ”

"Hehe" Ah Cai also pushed a smile. Brother Long is like a beacon on the way to life to him, as long as he can follow him, whether he joins the gang or retires to live an ordinary life, it is the same.

……

Just when Brother Long and Ah Cai were chatting happily, a small and melodious sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, like stones thrown into the lake one after another, shattering the tranquility of Lianping Town since the early hours of the morning.

Who?! Brother Long suddenly put away his smile, stopped his reverie, and turned his eyes sharply to the dirt road outside the town, raising his vigilance and staring at the unknown uninvited guest.

Even Pingzhen is a small town, and there are few travelers in the past, and this sound of horses' hooves is the first foreign sound of the day, like the dawn bell breaking through - even though the sun is now in the sky.

Brother Long struggled to open his eyes and gaze at the figure that was gradually becoming clear: it was a delicately shaped carriage, with a sapphire blue brocade bib firmly encased in a wooden lattice carport, with crystal beads inlaid around the carry, and the top tassel was lavishly decorated; The carriage is quite large, and seems to be able to accommodate several people; There are small windows on the left, right and behind the carriage, and curtains made of silk move lightly in the wind; Although the two horses in front of the car were sturdy, tall and strong, they were walking slowly, slowly pressing two long car marks on the dirt road with their wheels.

What caught Brother Long's attention even more was the coachman driving the horse in front of the carriage. The man was about twenty years old, and although his clothes were rough and ordinary, he sat upright, with a tall figure, handsome eyebrows, and a hard face; The sleeves of both arms were rolled up above the elbows, revealing strong, dark muscles. Although he was driving his horse slowly, the man still held the reins in both hands, and his expression was serious, as if he was ready to gallop at any moment.

The carriage slowly approached the tea stall. Brother Long's face was already covered with a hint of nervousness, but on the other hand, the coachman still had no expression on his face.

As if sensing Brother Long's gaze, the coachman glanced at him and shot directly into Brother Long's eyes.

This glance, as if a sharp sword had pierced Brother Long's eyes, made him blink involuntarily a few times, lowered his gaze, but inadvertently found a strange long barrel hanging from the coachman's belt.

The sealed cylinder, which was less than two feet long and more than an inch wide, was made of brown leather, and did not have the hilt of the sword, did not resemble a scabbard, nor did it resemble a quiver, nor did it resemble a container for concealed weapons.

Unconsciously, a trace of panic climbed into Brother Long's heart like an ant.

……

"King's Landing, rest here for a while." A soft sound floated out of the curtain of the carriage, causing Brother Long's tense nerves to relax: The passenger of this carriage is a woman?

"Okay." King's Landing answered, his hands tightened slightly, he grabbed the reins, stopped the carriage, supported the carriage with a wooden stick placed horizontally on the wheel, and then got up and jumped out of the carriage, and put the pedals of the short bicycle in front of the wheel on the ground, and only after all the preparations were completed, did he respond: "Miss, you can get off." ”

Except for the previous glimpse, King's Landing completely ignored Brother Long and Ah Cai, who had different expressions behind him, as if he didn't take the two of them seriously at all.

As the curtain of the door was slowly opened, a girl with a beautiful face slowly got out of the carriage. This girl is about seventeen years old, with picturesque eyebrows, plump posture, knotted at the top, swallowtail hanging down the shoulders; Wearing a sky blue placket cloud silk undergarment, a milky white waist-length silk pleated skirt and a light blue embroidered drapery, and a colored velvet makeup ribbon with gold thread twisted edges at the waist; A belt with a two-winged bow hangs down an emerald green silk at the left waist that holds the jade pendant; Several jade hairpins and silver hairpins are buried deep in the clouds, and a butterfly-shaped step full of pearls and jade and gold threads is bent on the sideburns, shining in the sun, ready to fly.

The girl's green left hand holds a book with her slender fingers, only gently supporting the door curtain with the back of her hand, and her soft right hand slowly lifts a corner of the drapery and pleated skirt, and a pair of jade feet stretches out one after another, like peach blossoms falling on the surface of the lake, and inadvertently reveals the pair of shoes under the feet that are slightly warped, and the silk embroidery is all over the body.

When she had completely landed on the ground, the girl straightened her waist and looked around, only to see that the tea stall was so simple that there were only two broken tables left, and the one in the distance was already a guest, so she moved to another table that had no owner.

In the breeze, the girl's sideburns trembled lightly, swaying, like a butterfly dancing its wings, although it wanted to ride the wind, but was reluctant to leave because of the nostalgia for the fragrance of flowers under her.

Ah Cai was stunned when he looked at it from the side. What he usually saw was either a village girl or a shrew, and when he saw such an elegant and demure woman, he suddenly lost six souls; I only vaguely remember that in the less than half a cup of tea just now, as soon as the girl lifted the corner of her skirt, she lifted his heart and liver from her chest to her throat; As soon as the pair of slender feet landed, it seemed to step on his heart; As soon as the fluttering steps trembled, it caused the deer in his heart to jump violently like a "sudden"; If the girl could smile at him the next moment, perhaps the last vestiges of his soul would have flown away.

Brother Long was much calmer. At first, he was also amazed by the girl's gorgeous appearance, but soon came back to his senses: the weather in northern Guangdong is still cold, even if the warm day is high, the daughter of ordinary people will wear a small jacket to keep out the cold; And although the clothes on the girl's body were beautiful and precious, the texture was cold, thin and light, and looking at her self-contained and slow appearance, it seemed that she was not afraid of the wind and cold at all. As soon as he thought of this, Brother Long turned his head and was about to remind Ah Cai to pay attention, but he saw Ah Cai's stupid look of staring, mouth wide open, and salivating, and he suddenly became angry, and raised his hand to pinch Ah Cai's arm.

"Oops!" Ah Cai was in pain, snorted, his arm shook, his neck shrank, his jaw shook, and the saliva that had been rolling between his teeth jumped out of his mouth at an inopportune time and fell on the table, leaving a long saliva line hanging at the corner of his mouth.

"Ahem......" Seeing Ah Cai, who was frequently ugly, quickly raised his sleeves in embarrassment and wiped away the saliva, Brother Long couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to cough dryly, and the surveillance eyes turned to the coachman named King's Landing.

"Hey!" Although they were some distance apart, the girl seemed to have caught all the movements of the two people at the other table, and after smiling, she looked away. She didn't seem to care about the old and dilapidated wooden bench beside her, and just wiped the dust off it with the handkerchief she carried with her and sat down.

Ah Cai continued to sneakily glance at the girl at the opposite table, but he was no longer as stupid as he was at the beginning.

"Miss, water." Seeing that the tea stall was unattended, King's Landing handed the water cylinder taken out of the carriage to the girl who had already sat down.

"Thank you." The girl placed the book in her hand on the table, looked up and smiled at King's Landing, took the water cylinder with both hands, unscrewed the lid, and gently sipped it towards the mouth of the hookah before holding the water bottle close to her lips.

Seeing that the maiden did not seem to ask for anything else, King's Landing turned to the carriage and took care of the two horses that seemed to have traveled a long way.

The girl's eyes passed over King's Landing's back, and then she swept over the empty utensils table in the tea stall, the few broken pieces of porcelain under the table, and the stumps of the nearby wooden table, and then looked at the half-manned streets of the town; After a while, he withdrew his gaze, put down the water tank, picked up the scroll on the table again, and read it carefully, page after page, with a focused expression, as if there was nothing left next to him, as if the whole world was left with himself.

Ah Cai saw it in his eyes, and all that was imprinted in his mind was the moment when the girl smiled at King's Landing, but the coachman didn't seem to have the slightest expression, and in an instant, envy and jealousy came to his heart, and at the same time he began to think crankily: how good it would be if she smiled at me (that smile just now didn't count), how good it would be if she said a word to me, if ......#%&#%......^^......

Brother Long was still staring at King's Landing who had thrown him a big back unsuspectingly, watching him carefully comb the fluff of the two horses with a horse brush, over and over again, moment after moment, and after a long time, his heart was on fire: What are you doing so carefully? Those two horses are his wives and concubines......

……

Time passes like water. The girl turned the last page of the scroll in her hand, put it down, and looked at the distant sky with her hands on her cheeks, watching one after another the white clouds drifting across the blue sky; After a moment, his eyes suddenly moved, and he got up and turned, and moved to the carriage with small steps.

In the sky, a white dove flew closer and closer, flew closer and closer to the carriage, folded its wings, and slowly landed on the back of the outstretched right hand of the girl who was already standing and waiting by the carriage.

The girl smiled and raised her left index finger to tease the little mouth of the white pigeon, stroked the white feathers, and then gently took off the small wooden tube tied to the pigeon's feet, pulled out the small note hidden inside, unfolded the paper with her right hand, and moved the fingers of her left hand all the way down the handwriting, and moved to the flat edge under the paper, but found a few light rust marks nearby.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and then smiled.

"Hmph...... Stingy. ”

After dropping an inexplicable word, the girl waved her hand to send the white dove away, and stepped into the carriage smoothly on the pedals that King's Landing had already prepared, and her movements were light and bright, not as graceful and slow as just now.

"King's Landing, let's go." The curtain had not yet fallen, and a warbler had already sounded from the corner of the curtain.

"Okay." The King's Landing didn't seem to be able to say more than five words, and as soon as he heard it, he jumped into the carriage, unlocked the rope, and with a wave of his arms, the two horses neighed and set off on their journey.

On the other side, Ah Cai watched the carriage gradually pass by him. Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the girl smiled at him and asked, "This little brother, how to get to Wuhua Town?" ”

The boundless wish that he was still fantasizing about just now suddenly came true, and Ah Cai only felt that the whole person was broken, and he couldn't say half a sentence, so he could only barely raise his right hand and try to point to the southeast of the town.

"Thank you." The girl lowered the curtain with a smile, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance floating out, dragging Ah Cai's soul farther and farther.

……

"It's not promising!" Brother Long raised his hand and slapped Ah Cai's head, who was staring blankly at the carriage away, and pulled his soul back into his body: "Isn't it just a beautiful girl?" Look at the one that fascinates you! ”

"I don't know much......" Ah Cai touched his head and argued in a low voice.

"Ah Cai, you can't do this." Brother Long continued to educate Ah Cai: "If the other party was a killer, you would have died hundreds of times." ”

"Ah, no, wouldn't it?" Ah Cai hasn't recovered from the slender shadow just now: "How can such a beautiful person be a killer." ”

"So you're not fit to mess around." Brother Long straightened his face and slapped Ah Cai: "This is good, bad, and evil, and it will not be engraved directly on his face." The most important embankments on the rivers and lakes are things like women, Lao Tzu and boys, especially women. But the more beautiful they are, the more dangerous they are, and the more terrifying they are! ”

"Uh......" Ah Cai was a little unconvinced: Then you want to marry a daughter-in-law again?

"Ahem, of course, I'm talking about women in the rivers and lakes." Brother Long seemed to see Ah Cai's question: "Moreover, these two men are handsome and beautiful, like some martial arts foundations, not like ordinary travelers...... Maybe it's the second object of this mission! ”

Speaking of this, Brother Long immediately got up: "I'll go and meet a few brothers in the town now, and go follow the carriage first!" Ah Cai, you can wait for me here first! ”

"Ah, Brother Long, don't I have to go?" Ah Cai was a little disappointed, but he was afraid that he would be hurt if he followed, so he was conflicted for a while.

"Well, no." Brother Long remembered that his brother had said that although the remaining two people on this list were not the most important people, they were still a bit dangerous and should not be taken lightly. He was worried that Ah Cai's trip would cause an accident, so he changed his words: "However, I may also get the wrong person." Ah Cai, you can stay here and continue to monitor the people for me, there must be no one to watch here. ”

"Oh......" Ah Cai thought about it and made sense, so he agreed.

"Heh, if there is nothing abnormal by dusk, you can go home and rest first. Wait for the eldest brother to come back, let's go to ask for a new life together, haha! After leaving the words, Brother Long hurried towards the southwest of the town.

"Brother Long, be careful......" Ah Cai looked at Brother Long's back and gradually disappeared into the town, and felt a little melancholy for a while.

It would be nice if it could go smoothly......

……

====================

The sun is shining, the afterglow is sprinkled on the ground, and there are gradually more pedestrians on the streets in Lianping Town.

Not long after Brother Long left, Ah Cai changed to the position where the girl had been and sat down, and flipped through the books left by the girl on the table. It's a pity that I can't read and write, so I don't know what's written in it...... After turning a few pages, there seems to be a faint fragrance wafting out, and there is a water cylinder that the girl has just drunk on the side of the book, the lid of the cylinder is not screwed on, and the water surface in the cylinder is like a mirror, and there is no hot air rising; If you look closely at the mouth of the tube, it seems that you can still see a faint girl's lip print......

I don't know what I thought, Ah Cai's face turned red, and he quickly raised his hands and slapped his face: cough cough, don't think about it, don't think about it......

After sitting in this tea stall for almost the whole day without a drop of water, Ah Cai will be hungry and thirsty. Seeing that the sky was gradually turning yellow, Chief Ah took a breath, stretched his waist, pressed his hands on the table, and slowly propped up his body.

Just as Ah Cai was about to pack the books and water cylinders on the table and go home, suddenly there was another sound of horses' hooves, which instantly shattered his relaxed mood just now.

The sound of horses' hooves was rapid and dense, as if several horses were galloping. Ah Cai was startled, quickly sat down again, turned his head to look, and found that two men and three women were riding five horses, and they had stopped steadily at the intersection.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party had no time to take care of his own efforts, Ah Cai followed the steps taught by Brother Long, and began to secretly look at and judge this group of visitors: these five young boys and girls have handsome faces, but the clothes on their bodies are quite different. The most decrepit is the young man with shabby clothes and a long centipede thread sewn on the placket, who looks like a miscellaneous follower...... However, among the three girls, the most beautiful is the girl in the cloth skirt, no powder, no powder, no hair, plain dress, straight like an uncarved jade, and the girl who was dressed up just now is completely different from the beauty. Gee...... It was an eye-opener today......

Ah Cai secretly commented on the comer, ranked A, B, C, D, and got carried away, but his eyes suddenly met the gaze of the girl without makeup.

Sensing that the other party also began to look at him, Ah Cai panicked for a while, and quickly picked up the book on the table, immersed himself in reading, and did not forget to peek at the other party's dynamics a few times.

The five people on the other side did not make any abnormal movements, but after whispering a few words to each other, they drove their horses past Ah Cai and gradually walked into the town. As soon as the townsfolk saw another outsider on horseback entering the town, they flashed into the courtyard and closed their doors, as if some evil star had arrived, and in an instant the streets of the town were empty again as they had been in the morning.

Seeing the figures of the five people on horseback gradually blurred, Ah Cai was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief: he shouldn't have behaved strangely just now. Well, that's good...... Immediately, he remembered that Brother Long asked him to pay attention to tracking suspicious characters, so he immediately got up and followed him into the town, not forgetting the book with the fragrance in his hand.

……

After these five people entered the town, they rode slowly all the way, which was just convenient for Ah Cai's tracking. In fact, his curiosity is now more than his vigilance, and he only thinks that the fun of following down, walking through the streets, hiding under the eaves, and hiding in the corners of the wall seems to be more interesting than the result.

After a while, the five people in front of them entered an alley and didn't come out for a long time, so Ah Cai hurriedly followed, and his body jumped into the alley, but he was stunned.

That's a dead end. The five people who were following him were now facing Ah Cai, and the five pairs of eyes were focused on him in unison, as if they were staring at a funny clown.

Ah Choi suddenly came to his senses. He is not a local, and he is not very familiar with the terrain in this town, but the alley in front of him seems to have passed by when he was following it just now, but he just cared about fun and didn't care. It seems that he was led around and then led into this dead end, which is really self-defeating!

"Run!" Ah Cai was not ambiguous, and he ran away as soon as he turned around, but the figure behind him was faster.

Ah Cai only ran a few steps, then he felt a pain in the back of his neck, his eyes were dark, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained, and he stumbled forward and fell to the ground; Suddenly, I felt that the Venus in my head was flashing, a thousand birds were singing in my ears, and the sky above my head was getting narrower and narrower, as if I was being watched by several people, and then, one sentence after another, words came into my ears.

"Savage, you can kill the child too!"

"First, I didn't kill him; Second, I don't know how old he is; Third, my name is Ouyang Xiaoyi! ”

"I can't open my eyes, are you still alive?" Ah Cai vaguely felt his nose pinched: "Oh, there is still breathing......"

"Of course, idiot monkey! Xiaoyi's shot will not be unscathed! ”

"Oh! Then you stretch your neck and give him a slash like this, to see if it's light or heavy? ”

"You! If I'm a boxer, I'll beat you into a cotton ball first! ”

"Come on, watch me burn you into a roast suckling pig first!"

"Xiaoyuan, don't make noise......"

"Humph!"

"Phew!"

"You're ......! Disgusting to death! Stinky monkeys! No quality ......! I'll get you back! ”

"Who is afraid of whom! Phew, ......! ”

“……”
