Chapter 31: White Servitude

I immediately pulled another leaf from the branch and wrapped it in a cloud of black gas, and after a while the black gas dissipated and found that the leaf was intact, I couldn't believe it was true, and tried several times, and the result was the same. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm so happy, this time I won't fall off the cliff like last time, the flying tiger claw just hooked the cliff wall and corroded through the rock and fell.

I wanted to share the good news with Xiaoxue and Blaze, but Blaze's lack of energy appeared in front of my eyes again, and my whole body became depressed. “…… Let's not talk about it for now! With a wave of my hand, a few small clouds of black gas scattered, turning all the leaves on the ground into flying ashes, and then flew down to find Xiaoxue and Blaze, and told them about Sun Zhutou.

Xiaoxue is a thief like me, but Blaze is very optimistic, thinking that nothing can happen. Xiaoxue and I both know that even if we dwell on this matter, we can't hide from it! It's all made people look for their homes, where else can they hide? I had to bite the bullet to see him.

After chatting, I realized that Xiaoxue's worries and I were superfluous, and it had nothing to do with the fight. Sun Zhutou came this time to discuss with my master, and wanted to recruit the three of us to be white laborers, that is, temporary workers of the yamen, and supernumerary errand services of the government until the end of the competition. In fact, consulting with us is just a sign of respect for us. Master has spoken, and he doesn't dare to refuse if he borrows ten of us.

According to Sun Zhutou, there are a lot of people who come to watch the game this year, and for the sake of public security, Yuquan has implemented a curfew after the unitary time. The officers and soldiers had to be stationed on the four boundary mountains and had no skills, so the government hired a lot of white servants in addition to the government service. Even so, there is a serious shortage of day and night patrol personnel. And the white servants can't just find someone to be the one, they have to know the roots, so they really can't think of letting us help.

But he said that this time being a white servant is also counted in the mission on the second floor of the bounty tower! Although the money is not very much, isn't the task of our Kaiyang Pavilion on the second floor not enough? If you think about it, you can complete the task of Kaiyang Pavilion just by strolling around the street, and you can be regarded as picking up a big bargain! Anyway, after being fooled by him, the three of us thought it was a good errand, so we happily agreed.

In the afternoon of the same day, we went to the Yamen to report the news, and the government also sent us uniform clothes and swords in a decent manner. Originally, we thought that we could show off on the street, have nothing to do with nosy, and have an addiction to being an errand boy. But it didn't come to pass, Sun Zhutou actually arranged for us to patrol the streets after the unitary time.

After the unitary hour, it was curfew time, and there was not even a figure on the street, who did we show it to? Besides, it's early autumn now, and it's very cold at night, who wants to go out at night! Our motivation was dampened. Looking for Sun Zhutou begged for a long time, trying to ask him to change us to daylight, but he told him that this was Master's order! He also told our master what he said, saying that Master let us die of this heart, and he would not give us a chance to cause trouble!

The three of us are angry, and we all think that Master's hand is stretched too long, and he can still meddle in so many things even though he is not at home! Can you give us some freedom? It's rare to be able to blatantly get into trouble, and the opportunity to be responsible for playing a little bit is so missed, it's really unwilling!

After the unitary time, Yuquan City was extremely quiet, and there was no one else on the street except for the husband and the officials who patrolled the streets. Sun Zhutou divided the three of us into a group, led by his younger brother Sun Zhongchuan, and the four of them were responsible for patrolling several streets in Beicheng District. In fact, there is nothing to patrol, not even a ghost can be seen, even if there was no curfew before, everyone would have gone to bed early at this time! If you don't have a TV to watch or a computer to play, what can you do without sleeping at night? Do you come out and pretend to be a ghost and scary!

Because we are not regular workers, Sun Zhongchuan is more accommodating to us, and the three of us can also relieve boredom by chatting quietly and pass the boring time of the long night.

After midnight it was foggy, and the fog could be clearly seen flowing slowly in a hazy, light-lit area. It is very different from the scene of looking at the fog like a fairyland during the day, and at night in the fog will definitely only feel terrifying, too cautious! It's already cold, but being stimulated by this scene is even more cold from the head to the feet!

Sun Zhongchuan didn't know that I was not in good health, and he laughed at me for being too squeamish. However, he can't be blamed for this, who made me miscalculate the temperature at night and not have enough clothes inside! After several laps around the alley, we went back to the main street.

Yo-da Da was walking, and suddenly there was a bell in the distance! In the silence of the night, it is particularly clear. The ringtone is a very strange sound, usually hanging in front of the window with a breeze blowing, listening to it will make you feel refreshed; Hang on yourself and follow the rhythmic sound of your movements, you will feel that it is pleasant to the ear; But in this ghostly atmosphere, suddenly there was a bell, it was like a conjuring, and it scared my spirits.

The four of us stopped at the same time to listen, and looked like the source of the sound, which came from the south side of the main street, rhythmically, interspersed with other sounds, perhaps because the bells were more penetrating, so they sounded more clearly than the others.

Sun Zhongchuan and Flame quickly lay on the ground and pressed their ears to the ground, and it didn't take long for them to stand up and tell us that it was a carriage. There is a carriage dangling in the streets on the night of curfew, and this is completely within our purview! We moved in the direction of the sound, the fog obscured the view, and we could only determine its distance by the sound, and gradually in addition to the sound we heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a faint light drifting in the air, like a wisp of geist.

We stopped moving forward and stood on the side of the street waiting, the light drifting closer and closer ....... When the carriage finally approached, we realized that the light was a lantern hanging from the corner of the roof of the carriage shed.

When the carriage got closer, Sun Zhongchuan stood in the middle of the road and shouted, "Stop! Yuquan City has a curfew after the time of the unitary order, and idle people are not allowed to go out. Who's coming? Notification name! ”

A man on a horse next to him jumped off the horse and stepped forward, it was actually Ziyan! I was overjoyed, I didn't expect to meet Xiao Hanqi, I was so excited, I thought that I hadn't seen him for so long, what would I say to him in the first sentence? I don't know what his expression will be when he sees me dressed like this. No matter what, I still have to say hello to Ziyan first!

I was about to open my mouth when the carriage door opened first. A woman dressed as a maid poked her head out and said dissatisfiedly: "Why did you stop again?" How many times have you stopped and stopped along the way? Is there any end to it? Why do you dare to stop the car of the county lord of Qingling? My county lord has been tired all the way, and he has to go to the palace to rest early! Why is this blocking and that blocking not finished? What are you little servants doing with your eyes, can't you even see the carriage of the palace? Tell you that the lord of my family is the future princess of your Yuquan King! If you offend my lord, you will have a good time in the future! ……”

She was about to continue, but was interrupted by a clear female voice in the car: "Lu'er, don't be unreasonable!" Ziyan, you can deal with it! Her voice was gentle and clean, and although her words were short, she had an unquestionable majesty, and just listening to her voice made me feel that she was a noble and connotative woman, worthy of the word county lord.

Lu'er gave us a blank look and reluctantly retreated into the car. Ziyan stepped forward to talk to Sun Zhongchuan, he didn't notice the three of us, maybe ...... We don't deserve his attention at all. However, I was in no mood to care about this, and all that echoed in my ears was what that Lu'er had said, "My county lord is the future princess of your Yuquan King!" "I don't know why I'm so calm at the moment, I don't think I have any expression on my face, because I can't cry, I don't have the strength to make any other expressions, something in my heart seems to be broken, crumbling, disappearing, and finally everything is empty.

I didn't hear what they said, but they were done quickly. Sun Zhongchuan, Xiaoxue, and Flame all knelt on one leg, but I stood in a daze in a daze, Xiaoxue pulled my clothes a few times, I came back to my senses and found that Ziyan had noticed me, after all, everyone had already knelt down, and I was the only one standing very abruptly.

He looked at me, I came back to my senses just in time to meet his eyes, he recognized me with a surprised face, and was about to greet me, I don't know why I was suddenly afraid to talk to him, and immediately knelt down on one leg and pressed my head very low, and whispered: "Congratulations to the county lord!" Ziyan didn't say anything, only stood in place for a while, then got back on his horse and left slowly with the carriage.

It wasn't until the carriage disappeared into the fog that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhong Chuan complained: "It's really angry, who would have thought that the county lord's carriage would pass by in the middle of the night? Can we be blamed for this? The fog is so big, aren't we also dutiful, that little girl's mouth is too annoying! ”

Blaze and Xiaoxue also asked him to vent their frustration together, but I kept silent. The four of us started patrolling again, because Sun Zhongchuan and we were even more enthusiastic about this matter, and the two of us chatted enthusiastically with Flame walking in front. I walked behind with Xiaoxue, and my silence caught her attention, and she asked me what was wrong? I suddenly didn't want to speak, so I shook my head at her with the corners of my mouth pulled at me, and then lowered my head and continued to walk slowly.

I knew that Xiaoxue stopped, but I didn't want to turn around and call her, Xiaoxue ran a few steps to my side, suddenly took my hand and pulled me forward, I looked at her sideways, she didn't say anything but gave me a bright smile, her hand was very warm...... It was very warm, and I held her hand tightly and suddenly felt the urge to cry, but I held back. As soon as the hour was over, we would go back to the Yamen to change shifts, and then we could rest until the evening and report again, and then continue patrolling when the time came.
