In the afternoon, the thin sunlight poured listlessly from the clouds, the sun hid in the thick clouds as if afraid of the cold, shrunk and did not dare to show its face, the north wind whirled, trying to clear the clouds, who expected, like a mouse seeing a cat, the sun instantly hid into the depths of the clouds, this time, completely disappeared.

Bai Bait and Mo Cang Traceless have been tossed back and forth several times in the supervisor's office, but there is still no frown.

Bai Bait hid in the corner of the supervisor's office, peeking at every move nearby, and when his eyes turned around, he found that the boy had come out, but at the same time, in the afterglow, the director seemed to have come back from patrol and was walking this way, Bai Bait glanced at it vigilantly, and repeatedly confirmed that he knew that something was wrong, and quickly glanced at the young man, but the young man stood in place, not knowing what he was thinking.

Time was tight, and Bai Bait used one hand to pull the boy into the corner heavily, successfully avoiding the supervisor's attention.

"How's this going? Anything new? Bai Bait asked while making his rounds, and when he saw that the boy did not squeak, when he turned his head to look at the boy, he could already see a rough idea from the look of distress on his face.

Mo Cang lowered his eyes without a trace, thinking back to the results of this inspection of the archives, he found that in all the archives he checked, the prisoners recorded in them were all men, and from this point of view, the map he got was clearly a fake map.

"Don't be discouraged, we'll do it again later, we'll always find a clue." Bai Bait's tone was full of hope.

Mo Cang Wuxian frowned and shook his head, and then inadvertently looked at the sky, the dark clouds were surging, and his heart began to worry: "It's too late, I must find the lost brand right away, and then get out of here." ”

"Is that sign more important than the person you're looking for?" Bai Bait suddenly asked puzzled.

Being asked by Bai Bait's sudden question, Mo Cang didn't know how to answer for a while, no one had ever asked him a similar question, but the answer to this question was obviously very clear, but the words became more and more obscure.

Bai Bait saw the hesitation in the young man's eyes, and since time was tight, he simply took the young man and left from the corner: "I'll take you to find that brand!" ”

After a while, the two returned to the place where they had met last night.

Ignoring the analysis, Bai Bait squatted down, starting from his feet, and moving up step by step along the flower path, his eyes were full of the golden brand.

"White bait, have you ever made a difficult choice?" Mo Cang looked in the opposite direction of the white bait without a trace, obviously the question just now was still in his heart, and he couldn't let go.

"A friend once told me that if the choice was easy, what would it be called, and at the age of six, I chose to be the child who was sold by my father. At that time, on the one hand, I was reluctant to give up my relatives, and on the other hand, there was a slim future, and I made this choice just to follow the original idea in my heart, I wanted to guard my relatives, only if they lived well, I could have a home to speak of, and I could be truly happy. Bai Bait said lightly.

Hearing Bai Bait's answer, Mo Cang couldn't help but pause, he found that in fact, Bai Bait's heart was much firmer than him, that brand and the person he was looking for, which was more important, or what choice to make, in fact, that person had already told him that he could only choose that brand in his life.

But he never thought so, he always liked to listen to what that person said, but he never listened to this sentence.

Hearing no response from the young man, Bai Bait lowered his head and guessed that the reason why he asked this question should have something to do with the brand and the person he was looking for, so he simply continued.

"In fact, all the people who are entangled in making a choice already have the answer in their hearts, and the reason why you ask me this is to know how I would make a choice if it were me, and whether this choice is the same as the answer in your heart. But in the end, the so-called fate still has to come out step by step. No one can dictate your choices. ”

The words in his ears were like a warm breeze blowing slowly, and he stared at the branches and flowers for a long time, and suddenly turned back to Bai Bait and said, "I think my choice is probably the same as yours." When I looked back at the messy flowers, I just felt that there was a clear light in front of me.

Bai Bait paced forward, a hint of an unknown smile on the corner of his mouth, and lowered his head to speed up the busy pace.

The two turned their backs to each other, each in the opposite direction, and searched hard all the way along the flower path.

The long wind blew down many dead leaves hanging on the branches and reluctant to leave, and the lonely guests lost their direction in an instant after flying all the way into the dusty air.

The two of them searched for half an hour and still found nothing. Mo Cang looked at the clouds floating in the sky without a trace, and the hourglass in his heart leaked faster and faster. Seeing that the time is approaching, the news that there is no owner in the East Palace, Ashin should not be able to hide it for long, if he does not return to the East Palace, he is afraid that the East Palace will cause an inevitable fire tonight.

The situation became more and more urgent, and Mo Cang suddenly removed the shackles.

"What's wrong?" Bai Bait heard the voice and walked towards the boy.

"It's too late, I have to find a way to get out of here now, otherwise, something big will happen!" Mo Cang flew into the flowers with one hand in the handcuffs, and said anxiously.

Seeing the unprecedented panic in the young man's eyes, Bai Bait's heart also became chaotic. When she came out of the supervisor's office, she guessed that the situation was not optimistic.

"White Bait, do you know what an exit is here?" Rushed to the doctor for a sudden illness, looked around without a trace, looked around without a trace, was at a loss in front of him, and completely lost his countermeasures. Faced with this unfamiliar place, his last hope was unconsciously pinned on Bai Bait's body.

"There is only one way to get out from here, and that is the gate of the prison, which is heavily guarded, if you want to get out of there, I'm afraid it will ......" The scene of the slave gate flashed silently in Bai Bait's mind, looking at the anxious look on the young man's face, Bai Bait bit his lower lip, his eyes must be shining, "Follow me!" ”

Thirty meters from the prison gate, two sturdy horses appeared with a wagon, which contained several large vats of materials for the daily use of the construction site, which were pressed tightly by heavy stones to prevent them from being dumped.

"Is it really possible to drive two horses together?" Mo Cang looked at the two tall horses in front of him, and then looked at Bai Bai's thin body, and the worry in his heart became more and more.

Bai Bait stood in front of the two horses, carefully comforted the two new friends, secretly suppressed a sigh of relief, and then turned to the young man and said with a smile: "My father has been delivering goods for the people of the horse gang all the year round, and I have been pestering him since I was a child to let him teach me to ride a horse, such a scene is not unfamiliar. ”

As he spoke, his eyes hurriedly fell on the two horses, and when he looked up at the two horses, he was always a little scared in his heart, in fact, the first half of the sentence just now was true, and the second half of the sentence was a lie to deceive the young man, and now the situation is urgent, and he can't care about being afraid, no matter how difficult it is, he has to try it hard.

Time is running out, and Mo Cang will be suspicious, but he still has a doubt: "Since you have a way to help me, why don't you go together?" ”

"I can't leave, I'm a slave of sin, once I walk out of this door, I will face death all the time, what's more, the whole world is already a world of wind people, I can't leave." Bai Bait shook his head and said helplessly, his tone full of self-deprecation and ridiculousness.

Hearing the sadness in her words, she lowered her eyes without a trace, and couldn't say a word.

"Don't hesitate, it's too late if you don't leave, let's hurry up!" Bai Bait calmed his mood, put his hand on the young man's broad shoulder, and stepped into the carriage with a steady step. When he looked back at the young man, he suddenly remembered something, and then took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to the young man: "This is for you." ”

Mo Cang took the veil and nodded knowingly, and when he looked up and looked at Bai Bait again, his worried eyes became more and more determined.

"The current situation is chaotic, Li Yu! You have to be careful! Bai Bait grabbed the reins, and once again looked like when he was a teenager, the hair on his sideburns had been blown messy by the slow wind, just like when he first saw him, Bai Bait couldn't help but smile, and then covered his mask and looked straight at the prison gate in front of him.

At present, the great enemy is not afraid of danger, smiles heartily, and wishes victory. Desert withdrew his gaze and finally fell on the stones.

Prison gates.

Hearing the sound of the earth shaking in the distance, the eyelids of the two soldiers guarding the inner gate fighting suddenly woke up, looking for the sound of horses and whips, and the sand and dust swept up by the wind were built into a road

The high walls swept all over the world. The oncoming sand and dust smashed on their faces a little painfully, and the two soldiers were so frightened that they breathed in a long breath, and the thousands of dust that flew into their mouths and noses almost choked them to death. Above the gate, the soldiers on the two watchtowers, already blinded by the dust, threw down their weapons, and tried to rub their two teary eyes.

The two soldiers guarding the outer gate under the gate covered their mouths and noses in time, and their confused eyes locked a two-horse chariot driving side by side in the dust, and the reflex arc returned to the nerves in an instant, and the two soldiers at the outer gate hung two spears in the air, alerting the owner of the carriage to stop immediately.

Seeing this, the masked white bait suddenly grabbed the wet reins, and his whole body suddenly shook twice in the air with the carriage, which quickly scared the white bait half to death, and his two thin shoulders shrugged straight into the clouds.

Fortunately, the two horses were obedient, and when the carriage reached the gate, it braked fiercely, and the hooves of the horses that rose into the air flew back and forth on the faces of the soldiers guarding the inner gate, and finally quietly returned to the ground, and the two horses shook their tails in amusement, as if greeting an old friend.

The two soldiers swallowed again, pulled back the fleeing souls, calmed down, saw the white bait on the carriage, and the stomach began to tumble, and the short soldier couldn't hold his breath first: "Are you in a hurry to find death?" Don't you know how much dust there is at the gate? Do you dare to drive two horses together? You're trying to choke us to death! ”

"Death row slaves, cheap slaves, stupid slaves......" followed by a wave of criticism. The two upstairs and the few downstairs were still rubbing their eyes, as if they couldn't rub them cleanly, but the fire in their hearts was found to be a place to vent.

Bai Bait blinked in fright, hurriedly pulled off his mask, and pulled his mouth reproachfully: "Big brothers, angry, angry, the horse was frightened just now, and the little slave was stupid, so he didn't hold it for a while." This is the way it looks, isn't this a tight schedule lately? A few days ago, the material was just shipped back, and it was used up in a few days, and the progress of the material could not keep up with the speed of construction, the little slave was stupid, and simply thought of the two horses driving together, just imagine that this time you can transport more materials back, this is ......"

The two horses drove side by side, just imagine that this time I can take advantage of the north wind to bring up more sand and dust, so that you can choke you half to death one by one, which is what I want. Bai Bait's heart pressed another set of rhetoric.

"Dare to think more if you know you're stupid, stupid slave!" The short soldier shrugged his nose, and the spit star almost flew to the face of the white bait from a distance of less than a meter.

Another tall soldier rubbed his eyes sullenly, his eyes drifting over Bai Bait's face from time to time, and suddenly, seeing through something, frowned and asked, "Why are you transporting material this time?" What about the usual little old man? ”

Hearing the little old man, Bai Bait opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth and pulled out a fleeting arc, and then remembered: "Big brother is talking about the uncle Jing Thirteen Jing who loves to eat garlic!" Hey, he flashed his waist yesterday. He saw that I was thin, and he always secretly hid pork belly for me to eat on weekdays, and I was grateful to him and recognized him as the eldest brother, and now his old man's waist flashed, and I, the younger brother, naturally wanted to give him a hand......"

"What kind of pork belly, don't talk about this mess, you tell me about this material and transport it, why do you want to cover a few stones on that big barrel?" The short soldier was short, but his eyes were exceptionally sharp, and he quickly noticed the strangeness of the large barrels on the carriage, "I don't usually see any stones on it?" ”

Bai Bait's anxious little eyes blinked and glanced back, and when he turned around, he accidentally met the four pairs of polished eyes under the door, and between the lightning and flint, he said slowly: "Big brother doesn't know, I want to transport a new material recently, Uncle Jing said that this material is easy to scatter, let me find a few stones to cover the barrel, and when I come back, I can guarantee that it is foolproof." ”

"What a mess, why haven't I heard of it before, I see that this bucket is so tightly covered, there must be something strange in it!" The short man not only has sharp eyes, but also a bright heart, with years of experience accumulated in guarding the door, he dares to conclude that this bucket is definitely not simple, so he gestured to the tall man, "Go open the bucket with me and check it!" ”

Bai Bait sat in the carriage, his legs were numb, and his back was still cold, and he noticed that the two soldiers were about to move the stones, and his fast eyes suddenly turned and he shouted in shock.

"Wait!"
