Chapter 165: A Scene (1)
Jin'er followed Qi Youshan to a secluded alley in Tong'an Town, there was an inconspicuous shop at the end of the alley, Qi Youshan said to Jin'er: "You wait outside, I have something to do when I go in." β
Jin'er nodded, and stood at the door with the rest of the people. She looked up at the shop, nothing special, except for a fan-shaped pattern on the very edge of the store's door number. Jin'er always felt that this pattern had some special meaning, and then looked inside, the store was very small, and you could see everything clearly at a glance, Qi Youshan first whispered a few words at the counter and the shopkeeper, and then followed the shopkeeper in. Jin'er wanted to go in and have a look, but someone stopped her: "Girl, the eldest brother told us to wait outside, don't go in." β
"Okay, I'm just afraid that Uncle has something to help with." Jin'er withdrew her foot and explained.
In fact, don't look at this shop is very small, in fact, the back hall is very large, the reason why the deepest part of this alley is chosen is because there is a huge warehouse connected here, which can almost accommodate thousands of people, and here, now stores the grain allocated by several surrounding towns. Qi Youshan followed the shopkeeper in, Ning Yanchen was already waiting inside, Qi Youshan stepped forward and hugged his fists: "Mr. Ning, you actually arrived faster than us." β
"Of course, Vice General Qi is not as fast as me when he heroically saved the beauty just now," Ning Yanchen teased, and turned to a straight face, "But now is the critical moment, you should send that girl as early as possible to avoid anything going wrong." β
Qi Youshan was embarrassed, it turned out that what had just happened was seen by Ning Yanchen, and Ning Yanchen's words hinted at it. He immediately replied solemnly: "Mr. Ning, don't worry, taking this girl with you is to prevent traffickers from catching her and going to the black market, and I will let her leave as soon as she leaves here." β
Ning Yanchen nodded. No more talking about this topic.
"Mr. Ning, there are too many grains in this batch, I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower for us to transport them all back, what do you think we should do?"
"You take someone to transport some of it back first, and I will have people store the rest here first, and you will find someone to transport it in a few days, but people don't want this batch. Just in case someone is suspicious. β
"Okay, then I'll leave when they're done."
Half an hour passed. Qi Youshan hadn't come out yet, and Jin'er wondered: what did he do when he went in, why did it take so long? So she pretended to have a stomachache and said to the people around her, "This big brother." My stomach hurts. If you want to enter the store conveniently, you see"
A girl's house, and she looks so beautiful, of course the big and rough people around her can't bear it, so one of them took her into the store and said to the second child in the store: "This girl is in a hurry, is there a toilet for her convenience?" β
Xiao Er glanced at Jin'er and said, "You come with me, but don't walk around." So Jin'er followed this little two to the other door and went to the toilet.
This door is not connected to the warehouse just now. There is a wall in between, and outsiders can't seem to see the warehouse. Walking to the door of the toilet, Jin'er said embarrassedly: "Little second brother, I'll come out in a while." β
Xiao Er thought that the girl was embarrassed to let people wait outside, so he nodded and said, "Come out quickly, don't walk around" and returned to the front.
Jin'er saw that Xiao Er was gone, so she walked to the wall and listened, she could feel that there seemed to be the sound of a carriage rolling next door, and it sounded like there were still a lot of carriages, and many people were walking around, not knowing what they were doing.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Jin'er frowned, it was Qi Youshan's voice, he was next door, there must be another door that could lead to the next door, but she couldn't hear anything here. I wanted to turn over, but I didn't know what the situation was next door, and it was very conspicuous to cross the wall in broad daylight, so it was better to probe on Qi Youshan's body, so she returned to the front by the same way, and still walked outside the door and waited as if nothing happened.
After another half a cup of tea, Qi Youshan finally came out, he nodded at Jin'er and said, "Let's go." β
Jin'er didn't speak, just followed Qi Youshan all the time, and he took her to the mouth of the alley, where there were already many people pushing carriages waiting for them.
"This isβ" Jin'er asked tentatively.
"Oh, this is groceries to sell to the barracks, and we're just doing some grocery business with the barracks." Qi Youshan Hu made up an excuse, the stakes were very high, and with Ning Yanchen's reminder, Qi Youshan became vigilant again.
Jin'er obviously felt Qi Youshan's vigilance, so she didn't ask anymore.
In this way, the group chose a completely different path from the one they came to and left Tong'an Town. If you are so careful, there must be a problem, but looking at the appearance of Qi Youshan, Jin'er knows that asking too much now will definitely attract suspicion. Moreover, she should think of a way, how to dispel Qi Youshan's doubts.
After a day's journey, he had already left Tong'an Town for a long time, and Qi Youshan said to Jin'er: "Girl, you are safe here, I still have some silver, you can take yourself home." β
Jin'er's tears came out at once, but she didn't say anything, just knelt down and thanked her and left. This made Qi Youshan a little unbearable, and a little reluctant, this is just a weak woman, will it be too unrighteous to drive her away now. However, Jin'er left without looking back with the silver, and did not say a word to follow.
Qi Youshan then ordered his subordinates to speed up, and the group rushed towards the military camp.
"Oops, someone's jumping into the river!" He didn't go far before he heard someone shouting, Qi Youshan stopped, turned back and walked a few steps, just as someone was coming in his direction, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's going on over there?" β
"What a sin, I don't know what's going on, there was a girl who suddenly jumped into the river, someone knew how to water, and rescued her, but she didn't say a word and jumped again, but fortunately someone grabbed her. Hey, what is there to really be in these years, so beautiful, what are you doing to seek death? β
"What is that girl wearing?" Qi Youshan frowned and asked.
"It's a long dress with purple flowers."
Qi Youshan said to his subordinates: "You go first, I'll go over and take a look, be careful on the road." β
The army left first, Qi Youshan thought that this woman was the same as Jin'er's clothes, he had to go to see what was going on, so he quickened his pace and went to the river, sure enough, Jin'er sat on the ground and cried silently, and there were people around her who persuaded her again: "Girl, what big thing can't you think of, do you want to take this road?" β
Jin'er was still crying and didn't answer, Qi Youshan stepped forward, walked to Jin'er's side and said, "Miss Jin'er, what are you doing here?" β
Jin'er lowered her head and smiled, the protagonist of the play finally arrived, she raised her head, cried and said: "Uncle, my parents in the capital have passed away a long time ago, and now I can't even take refuge with distant relatives here, I really don't know where to go, it's better to die!" β
"Miss Jin'er, why didn't you say it earlier?" Qi Youshan didn't expect that Jin'er would have nowhere to run at all, otherwise he wouldn't have let her leave early.
But this question made Jin'er cry even more. (To be continued......)
