Chapter 3: Chase and Escape (4)

The next day, Surabaya Town, Door Outside Inn.

As soon as the day dawned, Bai Jiujiu got up from the bed, the medicine given by the shopkeeper did have a miraculous effect, but in one night, the wound on the waist was actually half healed, and the pain disappeared completely, only occasionally there was a feeling of itching.

He went to see Ye Yuyi's situation first, the little girl was still asleep, her defenseless appearance was very cute, and she put her thumb in her mouth and sucked, like a child who had not grown up.

Bai Jiuyue looked at it and suddenly smiled, "Sure enough, it's still a little girl who hasn't grown up." ”

He went downstairs, and the shopkeeper had already opened the door of the inn, but there were still no guests.

"Yo, wake up so early?"

Bai Jiujiu just glanced at him and didn't speak.

"For the sake of me delivering you medicine yesterday, you should also say hello to me." The shopkeeper was not annoyed, and still unhurriedly lowered the door panel.

"Thank you." I don't know why, Bai Jiujiu always has a good impression of this shopkeeper who is always smiling, even if he only helped himself, so he unconsciously had a cold face when talking to him.

"What do you want to eat?" The shopkeeper suddenly asked.

"Me?" Bai Jiujiu thought for a moment, "Let's bring me a bowl of noodles." ”

"What about the little princess?"

Bai Jiu was stunned for a moment, sure enough, this man didn't lie to himself, he knew Ye Yuyi's identity.

She ...... I'll talk about it later when she gets up. ”

"Go and call her," said the shopkeeper, who walked to the back kitchen door, lifted the curtain, and said before entering, "you should go." ”

Bai Jiu hummed softly and went upstairs, and after a while, both of them sat down at the table closest to the counter.

Ye Yuhui still asked for a bowl of dumplings, presumably because he liked the taste of yesterday's dumplings.

The shopkeeper put down the tray and put Bai Jiu's noodles and Ye Yuyi's dumplings in front of them.

"Eat," he smiled faintly, and sat down in the empty seat naturally, "and when you're done, it's time for you to go." ”

"Shopkeeper, what you make is really delicious!" Ye Yuhui raised his head and looked at the shopkeeper, and said vaguely while eating, "Why are you the shopkeeper and the chef again?" ”

"Because I'm a good cook, I'm not as good as a cook, so I'll just cook it myself." The shopkeeper raised his hand and touched Ye Yuyi's head.

Ye Yuyi didn't show any unhappiness, still buried his head in eating his dumplings, "This is also ......"

Then, the shopkeeper turned his head again and said to Bai Jiujiu, "After eating, you should go southeast, bypass the Lin River, cross the Chijiang River directly, and then go south from Qingjiao Mountain." ”

"By the way, don't take the main road again, take a little detour, otherwise if you don't wait for you to reach Linjiang City, you may be chased by them."

on. ”

"You...... Why do you know that we are walking on the main road? Bai Jiu raised his head and stared at the shopkeeper, his dagger was hidden in his sleeve, as long as the shopkeeper said the wrong word next, Bai Jiu's dagger would be unsheathed.

The shopkeeper held the lower handle with one hand, looked at Bai Jiujiu with a smile, and said, "I told you, I know you." ”

"All right," the shopkeeper stood up suddenly, "you should go, if you don't go, it will be too late." ”

"Well," Bai Jiujiu also stood up, glanced down at Ye Yuxuan, and then walked straight to the door, "Let's go." ”

Ye Yuhui hurriedly bit the last dumpling into his mouth, thanked the shopkeeper, trotted two steps, and caught up with Bai Jiujiu.

"Also," the shopkeeper's voice suddenly came from behind, Bai Jiu subconsciously turned around, only to see a burden flying towards him, "A gift for the little princess, don't starve her on the road." ”

Bai Jiuyi grabbed the heavy burden, frowned, and asked the question he had already asked again, "Who are you?" ”

"Does it matter who I am?" The shopkeeper waved his hand at them, "Let's go." ”

Seeing that Bai Jiujiu was reluctant to move, he sighed softly and said, "Hunt, this is my name." ”

"Hunting?!" Bai Jiuyue's face changed slightly, Ye Yuxuan looked at the shopkeeper who had been with a warm smile on his face, and then looked at Bai Jiujiu, she had never seen a similar expression on Bai Jiujiu's face, she didn't speak, but subconsciously grabbed the corner of Bai Jiuyue's clothes.

"Well," the shopkeeper replied lightly, "remember what I said, and don't go any further." ”

"Let's go, I don't want to repeat what I just said." He waved at them.

"Thank you." This time, Bai Jiujiu didn't hesitate any longer, turned around directly, and walked out of the inn outside the door.

The shopkeeper looked at the sound of them leaving, and sighed softly, "You stinky boy, your temper is really stinky, I remember they said you don't like to laugh?" There are still a lot of words, how can I have a straight face, and I don't talk much. ”

"You shouldn't have known my 'name' so soon."

......

After about a stick of incense, those soldiers went and returned yesterday, they were violent, directly at the counter, the shopkeeper stopped his hand and looked puzzled, "How many adults are ......?"

"Take it for me!" The leading soldier let out a low snort.

"Hey, hey, there's something to say, there's something to say!" The shopkeeper was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand, and at the same time couldn't help but retreat, asking, "Did the villain do anything illegal and undisciplined?" A few adults came in and didn't say a word and wanted to take me. ”

"Hmph, it's you!" The soldier at the head said this, but he didn't rush to make a move, "Do you know who we're chasing?" lie

Report the situation, try to get paid, and make us run away all night in vain, and now, I suspect that you are their accomplice! ”

"Take it for me!" The soldier waved his hand, and the soldiers around him were about to do it, but the shopkeeper spoke again.

"Wait!" The shopkeeper smiled on his face, looked at the soldier and said, "Hey, this lord, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, I admit that I did lie to you, but it won't be to the point of being in the same party, right?" If you can't beat me, I'll give you back your money, my lord. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper took out a few pieces of silver from his bosom and stuffed them into the soldier's hand, but the soldier's hand still hovered in the air, and did not take it back or stuff it back.

"Not enough?" The shopkeeper took out a few grains of silver from his bosom and stuffed them into the soldier's hand, "My lord, I have a small business, but that's all there is, no matter how much you do, you will smash my small shop, and I won't be able to take it out." ”

The soldier put away the money, but he still kept a straight face and said coldly, "Take it." ”

The shopkeeper's face immediately sank, "My lord, you're not in order, aren't you?" ”

"Rules?" The soldier sneered, "Here, I'm the rule!" ”

Since they can't catch someone, then take you back to the top of the errand, their accomplices, presumably it is also a great achievement!

As he spoke, the two soldiers behind him were about to come up and grab him, but at the moment when their hands were about to touch the shopkeeper, they suddenly split neatly from their wrists, as if there was an invisible knife, and cut off their entire palms with one slash.

"Ahhh

"Hands! My hand! ”

The two soldiers looked at their bloody wrists and screamed backwards, and the faces of the remaining five soldiers changed in an instantβ€”they didn't see how the man who was always squinting did it.

"How dare you!" The soldier at the head did not hesitate to stretch his hand to his waist, but he pulled his sword out of the sheath, and the moment he raised his hand, his hand was suddenly neatly cut off from his arm, and he sat down on the ground screaming, grasping the wound with his hand in vain, and retreated.

And all his companions were strangled one by one by the invisible knife, blood gushed out, their heads separated, and the corpses fell silently, leaving him alone.

vertex

"You..... You, what the hell are you...... Who is it? The soldier was so frightened that he began to stutter even when he spoke.

"I didn't want to kill, but you were too aggressive," the shopkeeper shook his finger slightly, and suddenly it rained scarlet in the room, and the soldier finally saw what had killed his companion.

"Slaying the dragon silk?!" His voice trembled.

But the shopkeeper didn't answer, he stood there expressionlessly, and said word by word, "Now, I'll chase, you run." ”

"I'll give you a little time, hopefully, you'll be able to escape."
