Ah Cheng is a very hard-working teenager, before dawn, I heard a shuddering movement under the window, so I got up and opened the window to see.

Ah Cheng heard the sound of me opening the window, so he looked up. He saw me and smiled, "Did you wake you up?" ”

"Nope." I explained, fearing that the honest teenager would be embarrassed, "I've been awake for a while." ”

Ah Cheng still stood there, scratching his head and smiling. I closed the window, opened the door and walked out, looking curiously at the tool he was tinkering with, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Shh Ah Cheng made a silent gesture, "Don't let my mother hear it, I'm going to secretly go out to get some firewood and come back, and come back before my mother wakes up, otherwise she won't let me go." ”

"But you've got a wound on your foot......" I couldn't help but remind him.

"That's it." Ah Cheng moved his ankle to show me, "Look, it's actually okay for a long time, I'm just a rough person, how can I be as delicate as those young masters in the city." Besides, if I don't go to work, my mother and I will be hungry for the second half of the month, I'm fine, but my mother can't. ’”

Think about it, "Then I'll go with you, even if I can't do anything for you, at least I can watch you and take care of you." ”

Ah Cheng thought for a while, nodded and smiled, "Okay then." ”

I went out of the city in parallel with him, and although Ah Cheng's feet were still a little sloppy, they looked much better, and he asked me, "Why did Miss Niyin come to Xiangcheng alone?" Now it's all over the place. ”

"Maybe it's providence." Providence is destined for me to return to Xiangcheng, and since Yiqiē started here, maybe I can start again when I return here.

Ah Cheng smiled innocently, not very understanding what I meant.

"However, didn't you hear that Yu recruited soldiers to arrest people everywhere? Why are you okay? "It's only been half a year, and even these are different.

"Two months ago, the tribe of the second prince passed through Xiangcheng and recruited soldiers here. However, after he learned about my family's situation, he was very accommodating. Let me stay and take care of my mother. Ah Cheng inadvertently mentioned that person again.

I was stunned and didn't continue on his topic.

After going out of the city to collect firewood, it was already noon when we returned to the city. Ah Cheng was worried about his mother, so he hurried to hurry.

Walking to the city gate, "What's the matter?" ”

The city gate seemed to be being charged, and it was guarded, and the people who passed by the city gate were blocked there for inspection, and a group of people surrounded them. Seeing this scene, Ah Cheng sped up his pace and walked over.

"You're from the city?" The people guarding the city gate, no matter how they dress or how they look, are undoubtedly soldiers of the Yibe tribe.

But as for which tribe they belong to, I can't tell.

"Yes, I live in the city, go straight into the city, Ah Cheng Hotel, it's my family."

Yibu Bing glanced at Ah Cheng up and down, and then asked, "How did you hurt your foot?" ”

"Oh, yesterday I was collecting firewood outside the city, and I accidentally guessed that someone else had dug a hole to trap the beast, and I just fell down." Ah Cheng raised his feet to let them see.

"Alright, you can go over." After Yi Bubing finished speaking, he let Ah Cheng go with him. Suddenly, he looked up at me and asked suspiciously, "Do you live in this city?" ”

"Yo, a few soldiers, she's with me." Ah Cheng was already carrying firewood and was about to leave, but when he heard this, he came back again, and explained to Yibu Bing in a low voice, "She is a distant relative of my family, and she came to join alone, you see that she knows what the woman can be suspicious of." ”

Ah Cheng's words dispelled the concerns of the Yi soldiers, waved his hand and let him go.

"But what happened here...... "I want to ask what the hell is going on, why the Yibu soldiers seem to occupy Xiangcheng, who they are looking for, why they are blocking the gates and checking them one by one."

"Let's go, let's go back quickly, my mother is alone in the hotel and I don't know what happened." Ah Cheng seemed to be worried about his mother, but it seemed that he deliberately pulled me away and didn't want me to ask any more.

We evaded the soldiers, and I finally couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, why didn't you let me ask?" Why did those Yibu soldiers occupy this Xiangcheng? ”

"Hey, do you still need to ask, it must be the battle in front of you, chasing and defeating." Ah Cheng was already surprised by this situation, he walked to the back door of the hotel, limped in with firewood, and turned around and said, "Niyin girl, don't think about it, how long has this Xiangcheng been occupied by the people of Yibu, and it was like this before, and it has been fighting all the time, isn't it that Yibu has the upper hand." ”

"Ah Cheng?" The old man was still in the room, and he hurriedly shouted when he heard Ah Cheng's voice.

"Alas. Mother, I'm back. Ah Cheng put down the firewood, answered, and walked to the old man's room.

I hesitated, wondering if I should check it out.

Turning his head sideways, he spotted two horses parked in the stable at the back of the yard.

Is anyone coming?

I hadn't seen these two horses when I stayed yesterday. Could it be ...... It's been a long time since anyone came to stay at this hotel, so why did someone come all of a sudden? Who will it be? Riding such a tall horse and staying in such a small shop, should it be ......

I'm still thinking about it.

Ah Cheng had already led two people into the courtyard from the front store.

I was stunned, a little flustered......

First of all, there are conditions such as being tracked down by the Yi soldiers in the front, and with all kinds of suspicions, I am worried about the people who come here to stay here......

"Neon Girl." Ah Cheng called me, "You are just right, these two are here to stay in the store." Two, this way, please. ”

It wasn't until I saw their faces clearly that I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it's not.

They passed me, and Ah Cheng opened the door to a guest room.

Although the two of them were dressed as Yuguo people, they looked like Yibu people, they didn't speak, even though the two of them looked at each other after Ah Cheng's introduction, as if they said something in private, but they didn't say hello to me. After passing me, one of the men in blue turned his head sideways and stole a glance at me, and after I realized it, he deliberately pretended that nothing had happened.

After Ah Cheng arranged the two of them, he came out of their room.

Ah Chenghao had just walked up to me on his feet when the two men immediately closed the door in the room. Ah Cheng also turned around and took a look, "Oh, I think it should be nothing, maybe I'm tired from traveling all night and want to rest." ”

I looked down and thought, although Ah Cheng's statement is barely reasonable, but these two Yibu people are too suspicious, why do you deliberately pretend to be Yu people, now that this Xiangcheng is occupied by Yi people, isn't it more troublesome to dress up as Yu people? They deliberately wanted not to make people suspect their identity as Yibu people, maybe those Yibu soldiers at the gate of the city were looking for them, but for some reason, their arrival made me feel uneasy, maybe I couldn't stay here anymore.

"Miss Neon, are you alright?" Ah Cheng saw that my face was wrong, and thought something was wrong.

"It's fine. By the way, after a night's trouble, it's time for me to leave. I said.

"Huh?" Ah Cheng was startled, "Niyin girl, are you going to leave now?" It's noon now, and I'm tired all morning, so why do I have to eat first, and now it's so tight outside......"

Indeed, the gates of the city are very tightly checked, and my own words may not be able to get out of the city. "Why don't you send me out of town?"

As soon as the words came out, I was also a little embarrassed, Ah Cheng's foot was injured after all, and he was busy all morning, and I was embarrassed to ask him to walk a long way at this time and send me away.

"Niyin girl, this ...... There are customers in this store, no one is taking care of it, it's time for lunch, I have to make the meal. Ah Cheng was obviously also embarrassed, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave suddenly?" Is there something urgent? ”

Emergency? Not really, it's just that I'm suspicious. "It's not a particularly urgent ......"

"In that case, you can stay one more night, and you won't be able to delay anything. When I go to collect firewood tomorrow morning, I will send you out of the city with me, what do you think? Ah Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard me say that he was not in such a hurry.

I thought about it for a while, one night should be fine, nothing can be delayed, and it is estimated that nothing will happen. Now I feel uncomfortable leaving their mother and son behind, it's good to stay one more night and observe, at least make sure that these two people will not hurt Ah Cheng and the old man. "Okay."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I just feel that the moment I said okay, there seemed to be some subtle movement in the room where the two people had just entered. Maybe I'm too sensitive, and they probably didn't react because of my conversation with Ah Cheng.

I ate a little for lunch, and in the afternoon, Ah Cheng was busy cleaning, and I didn't want to say that I wanted to help, but I was refused. Elderly...... It was Ah Cheng's mother who pulled me to chat all afternoon, starting from how she and Ah Cheng's father got married and moved into Xiangcheng, how she borrowed money to build such a hotel in Xiangcheng, and how she worked hard to pay off her mother's debts and have Ah Cheng.

After Ah Cheng was done in the hotel, he went to the market to buy the materials for dinner. Since lunch, the two people have not been out of the room, their food is also brought to the room by Ah Cheng, after eating, they put the dishes and chopsticks on the ground outside the door, still tightly closed the door, and have not been out of the room all afternoon.

Ah Cheng bought vegetables, came in through the back door, put the vegetables in the kitchen and then went to feed the horses. I followed him to see him in the stable, "So your surname is Zhao." ”

When Ah Cheng heard this, he smiled and said, "It must be my mother who pulled you to tell you about their past again." ”

I nodded, "Aunt Zhao is really strong. ”

"Yes, my father has been dead for so long, and she has been with me in order not to make me feel lonely, in fact, even if she doesn't say it, I know that she is very sad. But that's fine, it's better to be alive than dead. Ah Cheng talked about his mother's affair and was very touched.

"Hmm." I nodded, and he was right, it's better to be alive than dead. "Aunt Zhao was just tired and fell asleep. Wait for you to see her again, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first. ”

Aunt Zhao talked to me for an afternoon, and I listened to it for an afternoon.

"Okay," Ah Cheng remembered something again, "Then I'll wait until the meal is ready, and I'll send it to your room to eat." ”

"It's fine." I say.

Back in the room, I still felt uneasy, those two people were so inexplicable, even if their actions had nothing to do with me, but probably I couldn't let go of what had happened, and I was always vigilant about their Yibu identity.

Not long after dinner, the hotel fell silent, Mrs. Zhao's room was the first to turn off the lights, Ah Cheng came out of Mrs. Zhao's room, and was busy for a while before returning to his room, and soon turned off the lights and went to sleep, I inevitably aroused suspicion, blew out the candle, and carefully did not dare to sleep.

After the lights went out in my room, the lights went out in the rooms of those two people.

I couldn't bear the sleepiness, and it didn't take long for me to take a nap.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that I suddenly heard something wrong in the yard......

I woke up with a stirring and peeked under the window quietly. Sure enough, it was the two people, and when everyone was asleep, they thought that no one had noticed, and they quietly opened the door and slipped out of the room, although their movements were already very light, but there were still some extremely small sounds, very small...... They slipped to the back door of the yard......

I thought they were leaving...... But they didn't lead the horse, they just snuck open the back door......

Suddenly there was a terrible scream......

I saw a man immediately fall to the ground, and the man in blue that I saw during the day was trying to run regardless of a single thing, and as soon as he ran into the yard, he was slashed in the back by the person who chased after him and fell to the ground......

He's not dead, he's still crawling......

Ah Cheng heard the movement and lit the candle in the room, which instantly attracted the attention of those who intruded. After a while, Ah Cheng opened the window and looked out, and after seeing those people, he said loudly, "Who are you and how did you get in." ”

I thought to myself, this is the trouble.

There seem to be more than a dozen people outside, and I don't know if I can deal with them with my current skills.

The men burst into the courtyard with a loud bang.

Before Ah Cheng could come out of the room, after a while, he heard another strange movement outside the back door.

Someone had just run in from outside to sue the others, but he fell to the ground and never got up.

Another group of people rushed in, and quickly subdued the group just now.

A very burly man walked in from outside, and without looking at the people, he walked into the courtyard, and he bent down and squatted beside the man in blue who was lying on the ground.

"What's going on? What's going on! At this time, Ah Cheng opened the door from the room and walked out while wearing his clothes. Who the hell are you? ”

But the man who was squatting on the ground paid no attention to him.

The man in blue, who was lying on the ground, slowly raised his head and pointed to the room on my side.

As soon as the man looked up, I could see clearly.

Xiong Lie?! (To be continued.) )
