Chapter 70: Catching the Thief
Chun Ting and the man looked at each other for a moment, and for a while they didn't realize why there were people in their room, opened their mouths, and just about to scream, they were covered by a rough hand.
"Don't scream! Or I'll kill you!" The man threatened in a low voice.
Chunting cooperated with the man and stopped moving, just sobbing quietly, not loudly, but the little girl's frightened expression was vividly expressed.
"Where is the money and dry food? Hand it over, I'll spare you from death! ”
Chunting felt something on the side of his neck, and it was cold to the skin, probably something like a sword. Hearing that the person who came was here to rob money, Chun Ting's heart tightened, and he pretended to be scared and said: "Where is there any silver on the slave family, the money is in the hands of the slave family's husband, and the slave family is penni......less."
"You talk nonsense!" The man interrupted Chunting's words, "In the afternoon, I obviously saw that it was you who paid for it!" ”
Afternoon? That is, when I was buying dry food, I stared at her, and I endured it until the night. It's just that Chunting can't figure it out, how did this person get in? She had hung the door from the inside, and she hadn't heard any movement until she was awake.
Could it be that this person has been waiting for rabbits in the room all along?
Chun Ting shuddered, then this person's plan was too detailed, thinking that there was always a man in his room secretly observing, Chun Ting's whole person was not good.
The most important thing at the moment is how to fool this person. money, she didn't want to hand it over, but because of this, she gave her life away, and it was really not worth it.
"You saw it, too." Chun Ting's voice slowed down, "Now the world is very dark, we came from the north, and I don't know how much money we spent along the way. We are going to Hongchang, and we will arrive in three or four days, so I made up my mind to buy such expensive dry food. Otherwise, the road is far away, how can I do it without money, but all the money on my body is used to buy dry food. ”
In a hurry, it is probably the spring court.
But that person obviously didn't believe what Chunting said, but he didn't dare to light the lamp, for fear that a little light would attract the attention of others.
"If you don't believe me, just go and find it, what's the use of lying to you now?" Chunting continued, "I'm sure I won't run, you can rest assured." ”
The man was skeptical, but thinking that Chunting was just a weak woman and couldn't make any waves, he began to rummage through the room.
Chun Ting sat on the bed, he couldn't see the man's movements clearly in the dark, but he didn't dare to act rashly, he only hoped that he would move more and make some movements, so that Luo Yu and Zhuang Lu, who lived next door, could hear it. The walls of this post station are only a thin layer, and any movement in the adjacent rooms can be faintly heard.
Xu is Chunting's prayer was too pious, and the door really lit up, and the two people in the room raised their heads to look at the door.
The person outside knocked lightly on the door, "Girl, are you inside?" I just heard some movement, are you not feeling well? It was Luo Yu's voice.
Chun Ting once again felt that the knife was on the side of his neck, and the man was afraid that Luo Yu could hear him outside, so he almost leaned into Chun Ting's ear and said, "You know how to say it!" ”
The breath sprayed behind his ears, Chun Ting almost gagged, tilted his head uncomfortably, and raised his voice: "Husband, don't worry, the slave family is fine, husband, go back and rest, you have to hurry tomorrow." ”
There was silence outside the door for a while, before I heard Luo Yu say again: "That's fine, you should go to bed early." ”
There was the sound of footsteps moving away outside, thinking that Luo Yu had already walked away. The thief breathed a sigh of relief, but Chun Ting couldn't help but be disappointed, she thought that Luo Yuhui would insist on coming in......
Once again, the thief rummaged for money, but the moonlight was followed without a lamp, and it was even more difficult to find something. Even Chunting wasn't sure if he could figure out the money bag when he couldn't see clearly.
There was a loud "bang" at the door, and Chunting was frightened, and then her wrist was grabbed and pulled out with a force.
Chunting was frightened, a light shook in front of her, and the shaking Chunting squinted, only then did she see that it was Luo Yu holding her wrist, her expression was serious, the light was shaking, and even Luo Yu's face was flickering, which made people feel very worried.
Luo Yu looked at the little girl wearing only her underwear, standing barefoot on the ground, taking off her coat and draping it on Chunting. Luo Yugao was more than half a head above Chunting, and his clothes were wrapped tightly around Chunting.
It was Zhuang Lu who hit the door just now, and it was Zhuang Lu who rushed in. Zhuang Lusheng is strong, like a hill, has Chunting been hungry these days, but looks more stocky than when he first saw him, rushed in and scuffled with the thief, and subdued the man in a few strokes.
Luo Yu tilted his head sideways and motioned for Zhuang Lu to escort the people to their house. The movement they made was not small, and there would definitely be people coming to watch after a while, and the identity of the person who came was unknown, Luo Yu didn't want to make a big deal about it, so he went in with the lamp and checked it carefully, and after confirming that there was no danger, he still left Chunting in this room.
Since the thief had taken it away, Chunting lit the lamp, and then carefully lifted the candlestick, unloaded the base of the candlestick, and with a slight flicker, several pieces of broken silver fell out of it.
After putting on his clothes neatly by the lamplight, pulling his hair up, and tidying himself up, Chun Ting pushed open the door and looked out, and saw that there was no one outside, so he locked the door and knocked on the door next door.
It was Zhuang Lu who opened the door, and when he saw that there was Chunting outside the door, he was a little stunned, "Why did my brother and sister come over, you go back and rest, I and Brother Fang will deal with it." ”
Chun Ting shook his head, "Where can I still sleep, it's better to come and have a look." ”
Zhuang Lu took a physical test and made a way for Chunting, and when Chunting walked in, he saw Luo Yu looking at the people who were tied into zongzi on the ground with a calm face, and when he saw Chunting coming in, he was still smiling as warm as jade as before.
"What's wrong? Scared alone next door? Luo Yu quietly blocked between the Spring Court and the person on the ground, "I'm afraid that someone is coming for a while, it's very chaotic, so don't be here." I've checked the house, and there's no one else, so don't worry. ”
Chun Ting also smiled, "It's not because I'm afraid, I can't rest assured that something like this has happened, since I can't sleep, it's always more reassuring to come and watch." ”
Luo Yu gave up the chair and let Chunting sit down. Since Chunting has come over, Luo Yu asked about Fang Cai's affairs, and Chunting also replied in detail, from how people were discovered, to Chunting's guesses, and told Luo Yu one by one.
Listening to Chun Ting's analysis with him in a soft voice, Luo Yu inexplicably felt a sense of relief, a kind of relief that this girl was finally willing to use her brain to think. It's rare that Chunting is willing to think so much, Luo Yu didn't interrupt her, and only answered after listening to her.
"You said this man has been following us since the afternoon, so have you ever wondered why these people are following us?" Luo Yu followed Chunting's words and said, "Since he can hide in your house, it means that he also lives in this post house." If he dares to act like this, there must be someone outside who will answer him, he does not live alone in the post station, at least two people, and if it is two men, otherwise he will not be so confident. ”
"We arrived at the inn after noon, and you saw most of the people in the lobby during dinner in the evening. Since the inn has not been contracted, it means that the people who live here are not rich and noble, at least not to a certain extent. If they want to rob you, it means that they are not rich, so who do you think will be? ”
Luo Yu was kind and seductive, and Chunting was thoughtful, only Zhuang Lu looked at it and didn't know what they were discussing.
Chunting racked his brains, patted his head, and suddenly remembered, "It's the people we saw in Lin'an!" ”
Hearing Chun Ting's words, the man on the ground writhed wildly, as if he wanted to break free, but he didn't know how Zhuang Lu was tied, the man writhed like a maggot, and he didn't see half of the results.
Luo Yu straightened out the non-existent folds on his shirt, as if he was still wearing the brocade and satin of the past, and he forced the short punch on his body to show a kind of aura of a merry boy.
Sure enough, after waiting for less than a pillar of incense, there was another knock on the door.
It was still Zhuang Lu who went to open the door, Chun Ting had already stood up, and sat down with Luo Yu, Chun Ting stood beside Luo Yu, holding the small dagger in his sleeve, and his nervous palms were full of sweat.
Luo Yu tilted his head, "It's okay, it's a big deal, let's just run." The tone was relaxed, obviously comforting Chunting.
The door opened, and to the trio's surprise, it was one of the three women who came in the lead.
The woman was slender and slender, not much shorter than the man beside her, with delicate facial features, no jewelry on her head, and plain clothes.
Luo Yu sat like a mountain, Chunting and Zhuang Lu did not speak, and the two sides confronted each other silently, and the scene seemed very strange for a while.
At least that's what Zhuang Lu thinks, this group of people has already thrown themselves into the net, why don't they do it? Shouldn't the current scene be a scuffle between the two sides? He was ready, but now he was holding it back, which really made his hands itch.
In the end, the woman did not hold her breath and took the lead in opening her mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he startled everyone present.
"I don't know what this brother means by detaining the person under him without permission?"
What shocked was not what he said, but the man's voice as soon as he opened his mouth!
