"Su Hao, these people seem to be from Jiangnan." When Su Hao was still thinking about the escape plan, Tong Yan said coldly. Su Hao looked up at Tong Yan and didn't understand why Tong Yan said this.

Tong Yan looked at Su Hao and continued to say seriously: "I'm very strange, the first group of people, and this person in blue, they all speak with an accent from the Jiangnan area. Could it be that something happened in Jiangnan that made so many people leave their hometowns to come here? ”

Su Hao shook his head: "I haven't heard of anything happening in Jiangnan recently, there is no news of floods and droughts, and Jiangnan is far away from the border and some distance from the sea, so it will definitely not be a war or a pirate." ”

So why did these people come here from Jiangnan? Although this place is a few days' drive from the capital, it is also nearly a thousand miles away from Jiangnan. Tong Yan couldn't figure it out, and Su Hao didn't figure it out either.

In the end, Su Hao broke the silence and said to Tong Yan: "Don't think about it so much, our top priority is to leave here, even if there is really anything wrong in Jiangnan, we will not know until we arrive." ”

Will you have to wait until you find out? Tong Yan lowered her eyes, perhaps, she could get something out of these mouths.

At night, Tong Yan had already fallen asleep, Su Hao quietly walked to the window, opened a gap and looked out. Outside is a small courtyard, there are three patches male guards, the yard is not big, except for the room where they live, there is a row of houses on each side, which looks like it is used for stacking sundries. It seemed that the gate was on the opposite side of the hut where he was, and the two broken doors were closed, but the lights outside the courtyard could be seen through the gap.

Lowering the window, Su Hao squatted down by the window, he wanted to figure out the law of these people's shifts.

Just after the hour, he heard someone talking in a low voice outside, Su Hao stood up again and opened the window, and saw that there were three more patch men in the courtyard, who should be the guards who came to change shifts. A few people muttered a few words in the courtyard, and the previous three guards left, and the three new patch men took over from the three and continued to look at Su Hao and Tong Yan.

By the end of the ugly hour, two of the three patch men had slept against the wall, and only one was still fighting in circles in the yard.

For three days in a row, except for the patch man who brought food to Su Hao and Tong Yan in the morning and evening, there were only three people guarding the yard the rest of the time. And shortly after the shift was over, the guards in the middle of the night were obviously much lax. If you want to escape, ugly times should be the most favorable time. If the escape had gone well, they should have gone into the woods before dawn, and it would have been difficult for them to find them again.

Su Hao told Tong Yan about his plan. Tong Yan bit his lower lip, the injuries on his body were no longer serious, but after all, he didn't know martial arts, so he didn't know if it would drag Su Hao down.

The two were still discussing quietly, but they saw the door open. The man in blue appeared at the door, still politely saluting the two.

Su Hao snorted coldly, what about the politeness, he is not a mountain bandit.

Tong Yan stood up and saluted the man in blue this time, the man in blue was a little surprised, but he didn't feel strange, he just said to the two: "The contemptible people have already sent someone to the capital to deliver the letter, and I believe that the two of you won't stay here for long, so please don't do anything rude to annoy the contemptible people." "It means hello, I'm good, everyone, if you want to run away or something, I'm not welcome to you.

Su Hao continued to snort coldly. Tong Yan didn't say much, just looked down at his shoes.

Seeing that the two of them were very bored, the man in blue turned around and wanted to leave, but at this time, Tong Yan stopped him: "Son, please stay." ”

The man in blue stopped and looked back, glanced at Tong Yan, thinking that Tong Yan wanted to think that the conditions here were poor and the food was rough, and he wanted to raise the conditions, these rich people were so self-righteous, thinking that everyone in the world should be the same as them. Without waiting for Tong Yan to speak, he replied a little impatiently: "The humble house is in this deep mountain, the food and accommodation are simple, and the girl will be invited." ”

Tong Yan gave a formal salute and said to the blue-clothed man: "Childe misunderstood." I have something I want to ask Childe, and I hope Childe doesn't mind. ”

The man in blue raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to ask?" ”

"Excuse me, Childe, are you from Jiangnan?"

The man in blue turned around, with a Jiangnan accent, and it was not surprising that this girl could hear it, so what.

Tong Yan saw that the man in blue didn't speak, so he tacitly assumed that the man in blue had admitted that he was from Jiangnan, and continued to ask: "Since Gongzi is from Jiangnan, why did he go to this thousands of miles away to do the work of mountain bandits?" ”

"Tricks? Hehe, girl, we are just bandits to eat, and as for the reason, I don't think I need to explain it to the girl. ”

"Don't hide it from my son, Tong Yan grew up in Jiangnan since he was a child, and his home is in the east, and he passed by here this time to return to his hometown. As far as I know, Jiangnan is already rich, and few people in Jiangnan are making trouble everywhere, let alone being mountain bandits. ”

"Why can't Jiangnan people be mountain bandits? Little girl, what is your reasoning? The man in blue was a little impatient, didn't want to talk to Tong Yan anymore, and turned around to leave.

"I just want to know, is something happening in Jiangnan, why are so many Jiangnan people gathering here?" Tong Yan saw that the man in blue was leaving, and hurriedly asked the question he wanted to know.

The man in blue stopped and turned around again, looked at Tong Yan, but his face was colder than just now, and he gritted his teeth and replied, "What's wrong?" When you have the life to return to Jiangnan, you will know. With that, he walked straight out of the courtyard, and the door was closed again.

Something happened to Jiangnan, the man in blue stood outside the courtyard, stunned and looked at the somewhat gloomy sky, yes, something happened to Jiangnan, Jiangnan, who has always been rich, is called heaven on earth, but now I don't know what it is like, I have been away from home for two months, but I don't have the face to go back to see my parents and fellow villagers.

After the man in blue left, the small courtyard fell silent. Su Hao thought about what the man in blue said, could it be that the man in blue knew that he had a plan to escape, and came to warn him? No, I only discussed it quietly with Tong Yan, and I will never be listened to by others. Could it be that there is some mechanism in this room that allows people outside to hear them?

Su Hao began to rummage through the house, the room was not big, and it took less than a stick of incense to eat, and Su Haozai had carefully searched for it twice, but found nothing.

At this time, the door was opened again, and it was the patch man who brought food.

Unlike usual, today the patch man set up the meal and did not leave immediately, but looked at Tong Yan, a little speechless. Tong Yan was generous, looked at the patch man and said: "Little brother has something to say, let's talk straight, we are just captives locked up here, is it possible that we can do anything to threaten the little brother." ”

The patch man glanced out, there were only three guards in the courtyard, and there was no one else, so he whispered to Tong Yan: "Girl, I heard the girl say before, you are from Donglin?" ”

Tong Yan smiled, it seems that this little brother is going to talk about Jiangnan affairs, and replied: "Yes, I grew up in the suburbs of the east of the city, and I also arrived in the capital half a year ago. ”

"Well, no wonder the girl doesn't know. This summer, there was a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and almost two months ago, there was a flash flood in the east. Then, water was distributed in several places in the south of the Yangtze River. But for some reason, the dog officials in Jiangnan were unwilling to report to the imperial court, nor did they open warehouses to release grain, resulting in Jiangnan now in tatters, and refugees everywhere. ”

Listening to the patch man's narration, Tong Yan's face became worse and worse. There was a flash flood in the east, and there was a flash flood in the east!
