Chapter 23: Mountain Ghosts
When the ship docked, it had already arrived at a place where Lin Qing couldn't name it at all. The place is bordered by a river bank and a barren hill in the back, and the only building visible is a dilapidated log cabin.
They stayed on the ship for a total of five days, and during these five days, they were not only short of food and clothing, but also often frightened, so that Lin Qing could not sleep peacefully at night, and his face was extremely haggard. Jiang Shao's condition is worse than her, the injury and lack of medical treatment have made his whole person lose a lot of weight, if he is not a guard, his physique has been superior to ordinary people since he was a child, I am afraid that at this time he has already gone down to the underworld to see the king of Hades.
Because Jiang Shao was too seriously injured and had no ability to escape even if he untied the knot, Lin Qing had to tie the knot again, but he did not tie the dead knot.
"Rubbing what? Don't get someone down for me! Jiang Shangui shouted in front of the cabin, his face extremely impatient.
"Yes, yes, Grandpa Jiang." The two big men with beards replied respectfully. After speaking, the two of them picked up a person in one hand and walked towards the cabin.
After five days of understanding, Lin Qing already knew that the old man who tied her up was the notorious flower thief on the rivers and lakes - Jiang Shan Ghost.
Jiang Shangui's real name is unknown, and he is known as the 'mountain ghost' because he is good at lurking in the woods. It is rumored that he is a flower thief, but his name is not true, because he is not a complete womanizer, sneaking into the woman's boudoir to steal incense and stealing jade is just a cover for people's eyes, and his real purpose is actually human trafficking.
The young boys and girls with the appearance symbol were charmed by the dementor incense, and then taken to a place inaccessible to be trained by good students, and then sold to some dignitaries and nobles at a high price, this is the main thing Jiang Shangui does.
"Let go of me! You scoundrels, you will be punished! Several women who were carried by the big man suddenly cried out regardless of it, but they were slapped a few times by the big man, and they pulled the sweat towel to gag their mouths, and several people stopped. Seeing this, the remaining few bound people all closed their mouths in unison, and stopped thinking about crying out loud.
Lin Qing took pity on the woman, but he could only stare dryly and keep silent. It's really uncomfortable to be carried like a chicken, but what is the use of crying? These wicked people will not let them go, but will torture them even more. People have to bow their heads under the eaves, Lin Qing understands this truth very well.
Everyone was carried from the deck one by one by the big man to the small cabin that Lin Qing saw at the beginning, and she counted carefully, including herself, a total of ten people were tied here. These ten people, without exception, were all born with excellent appearances, and they were all young boys and girls in their youth. Among them, she and Jiang Shao are the oldest, and the youngest is a girl, who looks about twelve years old.
"Grandpa, I'm tired after working for so long, it's time to find a place to be happy!" Jiang Shangui walked into the house, glanced at the people in the house with small eyes, turned to the two big men guarding the door and ordered: "Ah Hu, Ah Leopard, show me this house!" If there is one person missing, don't blame you Grandpa Jiang I'm welcome! ”
"Yes, yes, the little ones don't dare to slack off!" Ah Hu Ah Leopard replied respectfully.
Jiang Shangui's attitude towards Ah Hu and Ah Leopard was very useful, "Well, when Grandpa and I finish this ticket, I will take the two of you to the Moon Pavilion to enjoy it." ”
"Thank you grandpa for your care." Ah Hu and Ah Leopard smiled extremely flatteringly. The Moon Pavilion, that is a gold cave that countless men yearn for! If they had changed their usual times, it would be something they couldn't even think of when they went to the Moon Pavilion to enjoy it, but Jiang Shangui and the Moon Pavilion have always had 'business' dealings, and the owner of the Moon Ghost Pavilion will naturally give him face, since he has personally promised it today, then this matter seems to be true.
Looking at the back of Jiang Shan's ghost's departure, Lin Qing almost wanted to vomit. This disgusting old man, who is clearly already half-cut into the ground, is really brazen when he says that he wants to be merry and happy!
Ah Hu Ah Leopard stood at the door and stared at Lin Qing and the others for a long time, confirming that there was no abnormal situation before closing the door.
"Jiang Shao, Jiang Shao! Are you feeling better? As soon as the door closed, Lin Qing couldn't wait to move to Jiang Shao's side and asked softly.
"I, I'm fine."
"Still saying it's okay? You see you're hurt like this, it's all because of my ......," Lin Qing said, unconsciously shedding tears.
Jiang Shao didn't want Lin Qing to worry, so he pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's all flesh wounds, and it's not in the way." It's the first time I've seen you cry, but I didn't expect it...... You're crying so ugly. ”
"When is it, you still have the heart to laugh with me!" Lin Qing was a little annoyed, this man was really ......
What is it, Lin Qing couldn't figure it out for a while. But since he still has the strength to joke with himself, I don't think it's a big deal.
"This sister, you are so familiar." A crisp female voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Lin Qing turned his head to look for the source of the voice, but found that it was the youngest girl who was talking to him. On closer inspection, although the eyebrows and eyes of this little girl have not fully opened, they can already glimpse the amazing face of the future. At this moment, she was looking at Lin Qing timidly, her big and bright eyes were full of water, which was extremely cute.
"We ...... Ever seen? Lin Qing was puzzled, if she had seen such a face that charmed all living beings, she would not forget it.
"Sister, do you remember that one day at dusk I saw a dead man in Muhe Town? At that time, my sister was only afraid that she was frightened, and she kept saying that she had killed someone, killed someone......"
"Huh?" Lin Qing couldn't help but be surprised, could this be the legendary fate? A scene she happened to make in Muhe Town made this little girl remember her, and now the two are trapped in the same place.
The more Lin Qing thought about it, the more incredible he felt, and couldn't help but ask, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is Flower Shadow."
"Flowers? What a good name. Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh, he didn't expect this girl to not only have a beautiful voice, but also a beautiful name. But how did you get here? ”
It's good not to say this, but when you say it, it makes Hua Lianying suddenly cry.
"Woo...... The grandfather said that there were beautiful butterflies in the woods and that he wanted to take me to see them, so I followed him all the way to the woods......"
Sure enough, it was a good thing done by that Jiang Shan ghost again! I didn't expect him to even let go of such a young girl, it's really hateful!
The more Lin Qing thought about it, the more angry he became, and he gritted his silver teeth tightly.
Seeing this, Jiang Shao hurriedly comforted her and said, "Don't worry, we will always escape one day, and then you can teach those villains how you want to teach them." ”
"Get out?"
"Don't forget, there is also a chief catcher in Muhe Town who is called 'Little Zhuge '. With your face, he will never put your safety at risk! Jiang Shao swore by it.
"You mean, Zhao Mingsong? But ......" Lin Qing was a little unsure in her heart, in the end, she just had a face very similar to Zhao Muxi. Her relationship with Zhao Mingsong, to put it bluntly, is only slightly better than that of a stranger.
"Presumably he is too busy to get away from the successive murders in Muhe Town, otherwise, with his obsession with Zhao Muxi, I am afraid that he has begun to look for you all over the world now."
Although he was still skeptical of Jiang Shao's words, Lin Qing's feelings were finally stabilized.
"This brother is so familiar." Hua Langying stared at Jiang Shao's face for a long time, and then said crisply.
"Oh?" Jiang Shao was sure that he had never seen this little girl, and looked at her with a little more inquiry.
Although his brother's face is very different from that back then, he still recognizes it. That day, this sister was screaming next to the corpse, and my brother and another brother in white clothes had been hiding in the dark and watching my sister, and then my sister left, and my brother followed my sister all the time. ”
Jiang Shao and Lin Qing glanced at each other in unison.
"No wonder I kept feeling that someone was peeping behind me that day, it turned out to be you!" Lin Qing looked at Jiang Shao with a smile.
Suddenly, there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.
Jiang Shao wanted to cry without tears, who would have thought that there would be such a coincidence in the world. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect this world to be so small......"
"The person who blows the flute and shoots arrows outside the firewood room of Zhang's mansion should be you, right?"
"I'm ......" Jiang Shao felt a chill down his spine for no reason. It is said that women are made of water, but he understands very well in his heart that the woman in front of him is made of fire, and he can't be provoked!
Lin Qing just smiled and patted Jiang Shao's shoulder, "I don't see it, your skills are not bad." ”
"It's just a blow in your spare time, and you can't get into the hall of elegance. However, I prefer to go out into the quiet woods at night to get a in the woods at night. Jiang Shao felt that Lin Qing's reaction was a little unexpected for him, but he didn't expect her to not only not be angry, but to talk to him so calmly.
I really want to probe Lin Qing's forehead to see if she is having a fever. But Jiang Shao thought about the consequences of doing so for a while, and finally sighed and snuffed this idea in the cradle.
"? Shadow loves! Hua Langying said playfully, the corners of her mouth rose to reveal two shallow pear sockets, which looked particularly pleasing to the eye.
"If you like it, how about asking this brother to blow it to you another day?" Looking at Hua Rongying's smiling face, Lin Qing couldn't help but laugh.
This young flower shadow reminded her of Zhang Ziyan. The soft-hearted and timid Ziyan, the sentimental Ziyan, the Ziyan who is suffering the pain of the destruction of her family, I don't know how she has been doing these days?
Hua Rongying was so happy that she almost jumped up, "Okay, good! ”
"Then again, instead of waiting for others to come to help, let's save ourselves first!" Lin Qing looked around and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
