443 Saving lives
For a while, it was full of disputes between Lupin and the shopkeeper.
In the end, the shopkeeper made the decision to let Lupin inspect all the rooms and let him search the entire inn to show his inn.
The pony said nervously, "Master, where did you hide people?" ”
"It doesn't matter where you are, you just have to remember that they are in a very safe place."
The pony let out an "oh" and took a sip of the jar, choking and coughing.
The door was abruptly pushed open by Lupin.
In the house, only Jiang Ruoning and Xiaoma sat opposite each other, the two of them were drinking and eating, and Xiao Er came up with a big pot of stew, and said with a smile: "Two guest officers, your chicken stewed mushrooms are here!" ”
Jiang Ruoning sniffed hard, "What's the matter?" Someone in your store lost something? ”
Lupin remembered that when the two of them came in, except for the young man in the blue and gray winter robe, who was carrying a burden, the young man in the blue robe did not even have a baggage.
In the guest room, in addition to a table, it is a bed with a tent, there are two red flower quilts stacked on the bed, the bed is also empty, the whole room is unobstructed, except for the wardrobe There is nothing suspicious, the thin and tall man waved his hand and said: "Two, offended, we lost something, I want to open the closet to take a look!" ”
The pony seemed a little unhappy, and got up and said, "You lost something, you want to check our room, why?" Keep your own things, each inn does not have rules, valuables are carried with you, if it is a heritage, the inn is not responsible. ”
The shopkeeper saw that the pony seemed to be talking to him, and nodded, "This guest officer is right, we do have a sign in the lobby that says, 'Valuables are carried with you, and you will not be responsible if you lose them.'" ’”
Lupin's face was gloomy and silent, staring at the pony indignantly.
Pony felt a little weak, and then thought that he was now dressed up, and he was like the little eunuch earlier, and he bet that Lupin would not recognize him.
Jiang Ruoning said: "Brother Ma Xian, sit down!" When you go out, everyone has difficulties, it is convenient for you to be with others and yourself, you have not done anything wrong, and you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. If they want to search, let them search. ”
"Brother Ren, this ......"
Jiang Ruoning helped Lu Ping and the others to speak again, and she pulled the pony to sit down.
The tall and thin man opened the closet and took a look, and there was nothing in it except a blue quilt.
Jiang Ruoning said unhurriedly: "Our brother has booked two rooms, and the two of us will go to room No. 6 to have a look." ”
The thin and tall man looked for several guest rooms, and those guests were not as good as Jiang Ruoning, but they enthusiastically and took the initiative to let them see another room, and waved their hands gratefully, "Thank you!" ”
"When you go out, everyone has something inconvenient, two of you, please!"
Jiang Ruoning held the chopsticks and put the stew into the bowl for most of the bowl, so that he ate it unhurriedly, because he was in a hurry recently, this chicken stewed mushroom was surprisingly fragrant.
Lu Ping and the shopkeeper withdrew from room No. 5 with a few people, and the shopkeeper closed the door with a smile, "The two guest officers use it slowly." ”
The pony said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Ren is good at talking, what do they have to do with us if they lose something, search if they want to, hum!" ”
"Don't be angry, it's not easy for everyone to go out, should you be at home?"
The pony doesn't talk anymore.
The shopkeeper said: "Do you want to see room No. 6 for the two heroes?" ”
The tall and thin man said in unison, "Don't look (you have to look)." ”
The thin and tall man felt that he didn't need to look at the handsome young man, but he was a reasonable person who could understand their difficulties.
Lupin believes that some people like to catch thieves the most. The more this happened, the more they should look at room number six again, he was the first to enter room number six, and when he opened the closet, it was still empty.
In room five, Jiang Ruoning said to the pony: "You can drink half a catty, this wine was originally bought by me for Mama Ren and the cook, I heard that Mama Ren likes to drink a few sips." She hadn't drunk in days, and she was afraid she was hungry. ”
Mama Ren in the storage ring saw two children who suddenly appeared at this moment, the two of them were wearing the clothes of ordinary people's children, their hair was messy, their faces were stained, and there were purple-red strangulation marks on their wrists and ankles.
Yingying hugged Guichao and was shouting in pain: "Brother, I won't scold you anymore!" Woo, these days, you've been caught by bad guys, I'm in a hurry, woo...... I'll be good to you. ”
Dragonfly and Gui Chao had been hungry for a long time, and when they saw that there was a stew, Gui Chao pushed away the warbler: "I want to eat!" Holding the sea bowl, he took two sips, grabbed a big steamed bun with one hand with his dirty hands, and devoured it.
Mama Ren and the others were curious.
Seeing that Guichao was only concerned about eating, he asked Dragonfly: "Miss Dragonfly, what the hell is going on?" ”
The dragonfly also drank a few mouthfuls of stew soup and wanted to speak, but there was food in her mouth.
Lan Ning said: "Mama Ren, don't ask first, let them eat first, look at their appearance, they must be hungry." ”
Gui Chao hugged the bowl, Cui Qian handed the chopsticks, he quickly drank the mutton soup, ate the few pieces of mutton in it, and ate with his head bored.
The two of them didn't care about the heat, they ate while blowing, and each ate a bowl of mutton soup and half a bowl of stew, two hot steamed buns, and Mama Ren was afraid that they would break their belly, so they were not allowed to eat again, but they only said that they could eat again after resting for an hour.
"We woke up that day, we were caught by the bad guys, and they let us out of the bag at night and put us in during the day," said the dragonfly. In the beginning, as soon as we shouted for help and yelled, they beat us. She lifted the sleeves of her shirt to reveal the bruises on her arms.
Gui Chao said: "I have it too!" The wrists were full of bruises and purple stasis from the rope, which made Ren Mama feel distressed.
Dragonfly said: "They said that as long as we are not noisy and obedient, they will treat us well." Later, we didn't shout for help, we didn't shout, they really didn't hit us again. It's just that they always ride on horseback, and we sit on horseback so uncomfortably, and our whole body hurts......"
Looking at the two children, they have endured all the hardships in the past few days, they are haggard and tired, and even they have lost a lot of weight.
Gui Chao said: "It was my aunt who saved us!" My aunt said that the bad guys caught the little ones and fed them to the big tigers, and she would come to save us when we were fed the big tigers, and my aunt didn't lie......"
Dragonfly nodded affirmatively, "Auntie is amazing!" ”
Lan Ning frowned slightly.
Jiang Ruoning chased after him for several days before he found the child, which is a bit unbelievable to say.
Cui Qian said: "Although I don't know what happened outside, I think there must be no danger, the eldest prince was finally rescued safely, thank God, the Bodhisattva blesses ......"
Qing Xing smiled: "When will Sister Cui Qian also believe in the Bodhisattva?" ”
A few people joked.
As he was talking, suddenly another wine jar came out, and Mama Ren immediately hugged it, and Jiang Ruoning's voice came from outside: "The wine is for Mama Ren and the cook, you two love wine, eat some." What else do you need, I bought it out and sent it? ”
Mama Ren said: "It's still the princess who feels sorry for the old slave, and the old slave's wine bugs have been hooked out." As he spoke, he took a bowl and poured half a bowl of wine and took a big sip.
"Okay, I'll buy another jar of five catties, you drink a few sips every day, and I think that before I finish eating, I will go to the capital."
The cook looked at the window and said, "Princess, these days, several of us have been stuffy in the room, can you ...... Can you let us go out and breathe? ”
"You live in small houses, and you return to the dynasty and the dragonflies are put in bags by the bad guys, and you suffer from displacement. Compared to them, you are simply enjoying yourself. ”
Mama Ren didn't dare to say bitter anymore.
They are adults, dragonflies are only nine years old, and Gui Chaoxu is only five years old, such a young child can stand it, how can they not stand it, although the hut inside is small, but not hungry or cold. These days, even the youngest Lulu and Quan'er are very well-behaved, they don't cry or make trouble, and they don't make noise to go outside.
Yingying vigorously instilled in them, "There are bad people out there, and they want to catch children to feed the big tigers and big bad wolves!" "It's terrible for them, and to return to the dynasty is to be captured by the bad guys.
That's it, just let a few of you out for a walk, you clean up, but the children can't be released, there are a lot of bad people outside, and they are catching the children everywhere, although I don't know what they are going to do, but I guess it won't be a good thing. Yingying, you can't come out for the time being, there are bad people outside. ”
Cui Qian said: "I'll stay and take care of the county lord, and you go play." ”
Lan Ning said, "I'll also stay and help." Mama Ren and the cook went out for a walk. ”
Qingxing said timidly: "I want to take care of the second county lord and the second son......"
Jiang Ruoning said: "Lan Ning is careful, Quan'er and Lulu can't be separated from Qingxing, you two stay, and Cui Qian also comes out to breathe." The children can't come out, the bad guys are still looking for them, and they can't fall into their hands anymore. ”
Jiang Ruoning pulled a trick, and Mama Ren, Cui Qian, and the cook appeared in their guest room, and when the pony washed his face and turned around, he found that there were three more people in the room, calling "Mom", and he was not so frightened that he fainted.
Mama Ren said angrily: "Little Pony, what do you mean? Could it be that my wife is a monster? ”
It's not that they're scary, it's really that suddenly there are three more people in this room, can it not be scary?
Outside, there was a lot of commotion, as if someone was arguing with the shopkeeper.
It was Lupin's voice: "We have two bags of goods, which we lost at your inn?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "Two heroes, you have even checked the guest room, and there is nothing you said......
"If you want me to say, it's better to report to the official!"
The tall and thin man said to Lupin: "Forget it! Things may not have gone far, so we'll look around again. "This report to the official, the identities of the two of them will be revealed, and if it spreads, it will cause trouble for the master.
Lu Ping snorted coldly, quarreled, and there was no result, saying that the inn had stolen something, but there were so many broken ropes in the house, others would definitely think: What are the two bags in?
If it is a child, the designation will be suspected: are they abductors?
Anyway, let's just give up.
Lupin and the tall and thin man searched around the Phoenix Inn, but there was no sign of the child.
They lost their things, and the shopkeeper did not dare to ask for food, but what they had received earlier was not returned, and no one on either side mentioned it, so Lupin and the tall and thin man left the inn. (To be continued.) )
