45. Chapter 45
Many people lined up for routine checks, Wen Xiaomiao's palms were already oozing sweat, Cheng Muan changed Wen Xiaomiao into a hug in his arms, and patted her shoulder indistinctly.
The two soldiers in this group checked quite carefully, and Wen Xiaomiao was even more nervous.
A short soldier asked, "What are you doing in the city?" ”
"Official, we're going home." Cheng Muan replied.
"Where do you live?" The soldier continued to cross-examine.
"I live in Xiling Lane, Sanqiao Street." Cheng Mu'an replied methodically.
The tall soldier standing next to him checked the package Wen Xiaomiao was holding.
The short soldier pointed at Wen Xiaomiao, who had been keeping his head down, and continued to ask, "Who is this?" Show your face and look up at me. ”
"This is my insider, I have never seen the world, I am a mute." Cheng Muan opened Wen Xiaomiao's headscarf, and Wen Xiaomiao looked at the short soldier timidly.
Then the tall soldier said, "No problem. He returned the package to Wen Xiaomiao.
The short soldier motioned for Cheng Mu'an and Wen Xiaomiao to go.
Cheng Muan and Wen Xiaomiao walked to the entrance of the city gate and continued to line up, waiting for inspection.
Seeing that it was almost time to close the city gate, there were still a lot of people, and everyone was a little anxious, so they heard someone whispering: "After so many days, who are you looking for?" When is it a head? ”
"That's right, the city gate is about to close, which is two hours earlier than the previous city gate, which really delays things and affects business." Another voice chimed in.
Wen Xiaomiao felt a little strange in her heart, how did the eldest brother know that the gate of the city was closed at this time, and it was two hours earlier than normal, could it be that the eldest brother would pinch his fingers?
"I heard that Majiapu and Hongjialing are like this in several places, do you know the way, I heard that it seems that there was a big incident in the capital last year, and some of the criminals ran away, and they haven't been caught yet." Another person said.
"What's going to be done? So powerful. ”
"I don't know what to do, anyway, it has nothing to do with our people, just live your own life."
"Then if it's a Jiangyang thief, extremely vicious or something, it has something to do with the common people, you think, you ran away last year, we are only investigating it so tightly now, maybe it's coming to us."
"Oh, it's really possible, don't come out at night if you don't have anything to do, your life matters."
Everyone was talking about it.
Seeing that it was Cheng Mu'an and Wen Xiaomiao's turn for the remaining two people in front, suddenly the crowd next to them was abnormal, and the two figures ran away from the city gate, followed by two soldiers, one of whom shouted while chasing: "Stand still, you stand for me." Another turned around and told the soldier guarding the city gate that he said: "Express, the one in black clothes has the Cheng family token on his body, maybe it is the fugitive Cheng Mu'an." ”
One of the soldiers guarding the city gate hurriedly ran into the city to report the news.
Seeing that the city gate was about to be closed, there were fewer soldiers to inspect the customs, and the time required to check was longer, maybe they would be locked out of the city gate, and the people began to be restless, and everyone began to squeeze to the city gate, and I don't know who shouted: "This criminal has run away, what else to check, hurry home." ”
Originally, everyone had this thought, but when they were said like this, they simply rushed away the soldiers who were inspecting, and ran to the city, and the soldiers who hurriedly stomped their feet.
Cheng Muan and Wen Xiaomiao also entered the city with the crowd.
Cheng Muan pulled Wen Xiaomiao to turn around on the street, and Wen Xiaomiao followed in a daze.
After walking to the end of an alley, it was quiet in the dark wooden door.
