Chapter 27: Déjà vu (2)
On the other side, Dou Lan originally saw the young lady come forward to talk to the monk, thinking that she was afraid that she had run into an evil spirit last night, and wanted to find a monk to ask for protection, which was naturally good, so she didn't care. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info drank tea boringly, but after a while, a shopkeeper brought their breakfast.
Dou Lan was already hungry, and when she looked down, she saw that the little two only served a bowl of porridge, and said casually: "Why is there only one bowl?" We asked for two bowls. The guy was stunned for a moment and said, "The girl is alone, and you want to drink two bowls of porridge?" Dou Lan said impatiently: "What is one person, and there is another person at the door." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, but he froze for a moment. There was still the shadow of Cen Kexuan at the door, when people came and went, only the damn poor monk was still in place like a pestle, looking dazed.
"The girl came with a monk?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a while as if he was stupid, and it took a long time to say such a sentence. But in his heart, he said angrily: The monk went out with the little girl openly, it is really the wind of the world, the wind of the world is going down! Dou Lan disappeared in the blink of an eye, Cen Kexuan's figure was flustered, and she didn't have the heart to pay attention to how the shopkeeper speculated, stood up and rushed to the monk, grabbed his shirt without saying a word, and said, "Where is my young lady?" ”
The monk Xu had never seen such a strong woman, first Cen Kexuan moved his mouth, and then Dou Lan made his move, and he was frightened a lot, so he looked at Dou Lan with a frightened face, and said in a trembling voice: "Donor's subordinates have mercy......
There are a lot of characters in the outer hall of the inn during the day, but the inside is quite peaceful. The scarlet-clad young man was holding a burden, and he ran very fast, and after a while, he was already in the backyard. There are many strange places in this place, but they are not much different in the daytime, an old well in the corner of the wall, ordinary and unharmed.
Cen Kexuan chased and chased all the way, he had no intention of caring about last night's events, and seeing that the speed of the figure in front of him had decreased, he immediately gasped and shouted: "What are you running, stop me!" But the young man seemed to have not heard of it, and on his tiptoes, he was about to perform light skills and cross the wall. Cen Kexuan was anxious, his desire was moved, and he suddenly remembered the dagger he was carrying, and immediately pulled it out, and threw it away with a flick of his hand.
The dagger flew forward in the air like an arrow out of a string, just above the boy's head, and with a muffled sound of "bang", it firmly penetrated into the wall, and some cracks were revealed on the entire wall, and fine stone chips fell.
Although the boy was able to dodge, he was also startled, and for a moment of distraction, he fell off the wall. Hearing only a scream of "ouch", the young man had already fallen to the ground, grinning and rubbing his buttocks, extremely embarrassed. He also knew that the current situation could not allow him to procrastinate, so he quickly stood up and gritted his teeth to look at the top of the wall, intending to slip away again.
Cen Kexuan naturally wouldn't give him this opportunity, jumped forward in a few steps, and reached out and grabbed his sleeve. The young man had just fallen, and he had lost the best time to escape, and at this moment, he slapped her with his backhand, trying to drive her away, but when Cen Kexuan retreated, because he grabbed his sleeve tightly, one was careless, and the two fell forward along this force. Fortunately, his eyes were quick and he reached out to the wellhead on the side to slow down his body.
He had just stabilized his pace and settled his mind, but he heard hurried footsteps in the corridor. The young man became extremely flustered, turned his head to look at Cen Kexuan, and said hurriedly: "You let go." Cen Kexuan continued to hold his sleeve and refused to stop, panting and saying, "Don't let go." It's hard to catch you, and we'll have to settle the accounts slowly. ”
"What a score!" The young man hurriedly withdrew his hand, but was grabbed by Cen Kexuan, and after the two of them tugged, he suddenly stretched out his leg and swept towards her, but he didn't expect Cen Kexuan to react faster, and immediately raised his leg to block it and gave him a kick, which was so hard that he almost fell to his knees in pain. However, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the pain, only to hear the footsteps on the other side of the corridor was approaching, and when he saw that he was about to come, the young man saw that he couldn't get rid of the person in front of him, and his heart was ruthless, and he suddenly stepped forward to hug Cen Kexuan, jumped up, and the two jumped straight into the well.
Before Cen Kexuan could exclaim, he fell into the well with the man.
As soon as their figures disappeared at the mouth of the well, several people appeared at the promenade. A flattering bamboo horse brought a sturdy and tall middle-aged man, this man was upright, his eyes were like torches, and he was the person Cen Kexuan had sneaked out of the palace before and met the man who was fighting. This person's original name was Chu Tianli, a native of Jingzhou, about forty years old, who has traveled south and north for more than ten years, and made a living by arresting all kinds of bounty criminals in the yamen to obtain bounties, and he is also quite famous in the rivers and lakes. He and Zhuma walked at the forefront, followed by the shopkeeper who was about to come, and there were some people watching the excitement. I saw Zhuma bending over while following the man and laughing: "Chu Daxia, they are indeed running in this direction." ”
The man's eyes were sharp, and he looked left and right, but there was no suspicious figure. He looked down and thought for a moment, then came again: "Impossible, there is no sound of escaping footsteps in this vicinity." Didn't you hide people? Zhuma hurriedly denied it: "Look at what you said." No one dares to deceive Chu Daxia if they are a little deceitful. Besides, this thief isn't good for us at the Golden Scale Inn, is it? We're going to open the door to business, and that reputation is more important than anything else, so we won't ruin our reputation. ”
Chu Tianli didn't care, he walked around the backyard, and found no traces, so he strode towards the nearest inner courtyard, and answered as he walked: "It's hard to say, maybe that kid is still hiding from you." Why else is it that every time I chase here, the thief is gone? If you want to prove your innocence, why don't you let me search the rooms around here. ”
"Oh, Chu Daxia, how can this work. Heaven and earth conscience, we really didn't hide that thief. The bamboo horse hurriedly stopped, but he only dared to shout, and did not dare to stop the person. After all, that person is an old man with great skills, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people like him can stop him. So the two of them talked and left, and soon entered the nearest inner courtyard. The people who did good deeds also followed in a mighty way. Chu Tianli stopped in this courtyard and looked at the rooms with closed doors, as if he believed that the thieves must be hiding in one of them.
He paused for only a moment, then walked towards one of the rooms. The bamboo horse finally stepped forward this time to block in front of Chu Tianli, gritted his teeth and said: "Chu Daxia......" Chu Tianli sneered: "I also said that I am not tired." If you want to prove your innocence, let me search for it. ”
"This ......" Zhu Ma heard Chu Tianli say, he frowned, and looked behind him hesitantly. In this matter, a shopkeeper really can't be the master. I saw that the shopkeeper who was originally following behind hurriedly stepped forward, pushed away the bamboo horse and said with a smile: "Chu Daxia, it's not that we have a ghost in our hearts. It's just that the people who live in this courtyard are really not good to offend......"
"Oh? Who is so big-faced? "You can't just disturb such a large courtyard in the Jinlin Inn, could it be that you are still from Ziyun Palace? The crowd of people who came with them were also interested, and they also shouted noisily and agreed: "Yes, what kind of person lives? Let's hear ......" The shopkeeper's face was embarrassed, and he was hesitating to consider his words, but he heard the sound of the door opening in the courtyard.
When everyone heard this, they turned around, only to see a man in white walking out of the house, his color was calm, his expression was elegant, and his demeanor was eclipsed by the sun and the moon. Everyone was stunned, almost dumbfounded, but they didn't know that such a person with extraordinary temperament lived in this inn.
