Chapter 155: Meeting on a Narrow Road
When Lu Qingzi left, no one had woken up yet.
It was already noon when she left the mountain forest, and after eating in the town, she didn't dare to delay, so she hired a carriage and went in the direction of Lingxiao Mountain.
It takes seven days to walk from here to Lingxiao Mountain, and the carriage takes four days at the earliest, Lu Qingzi is afraid that Zhou Qingwu will know, and he is not very optimistic along the way.
Fortunately, a day and a half passed, and it was still calm, and Lu Qingzi gradually settled down.
On the second day and night, Lu Qingzi passed by Qingshuangcheng and found an inn to settle down.
took the burden to the counter, said a few words to the guy in front of the counter of the inn, and then took the sign and went upstairs.
Lu Qingzi was tired all day, and because he had been on the road last night, he could only sleep in the carriage.
The day was almost a whole day of bumps, and I was a little tired and tight at the moment.
After washing his face, he lay down on the bed without even eating.
I was just about to fall asleep, but I heard a quarrel next door.
The voice was intermittent, Lu Qingzi didn't care, but suddenly a scream made half of her sleepiness disappear.
The scream was so terrible that it made my heart tremble.
Then, soon the voice of the shopkeeper going upstairs, "Ah! ”
Xiao Er seemed to have been knocked down, and then, soon accompanied by a shout: "Killed!! ”
Lu Qingzi was completely sleepless at this time, sat up from the bed and opened the door, and was looking at the two of them.
The little two took a few steps back with a frightened face, and then shouted at the shopkeeper, trembling his legs to prepare for Xiaolou.
Lu Qingzi said in his heart, there will be officers and soldiers coming over soon!
Thinking like this, Lu Qingzi was a little frightened, if someone recognized her, then her life would have to be buried here.
didn't have time to think about it, Lu Qingzi returned to the house, picked up the baggage, and followed Xiao Er to the cabinet, and at this moment the entire inn was already in a panic.
"I want to check out!" Lu Qingzi looked at the little erdao.
The shopkeeper of the inn also came over and explained to Lu Qingzi, but Lu Qingzi insisted on leaving, the shopkeeper was helpless, but he also understood her fear of a woman going out alone and encountering this, so she agreed.
Lu Qingzi took the silver and turned to leave, fortunately, she used a fake name, even if she checked the people who checked in, it wouldn't be good.
When Lu Qingzi left, the night was already dark, and in the moonlight, she seemed to remember something!
When she came out just now, she seemed to hear the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and before Xiao Er went upstairs, the person who knocked him down was the murderer!
Lu Qingzi suddenly felt that she was a little cold at the moment, tightened the clothes on her body, and took out the dagger she had been carrying with her.
As soon as she walked to a path, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of her and reached out to grab her.
Lu Qingzi's eyes sank, the dagger in his hand was unsheathed, and he stabbed forward without thinking.
But the man was not afraid, and with a flicker, he had already dodged the dagger and grabbed her wrist.
He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't scream, I won't kill you." ”
Lu Qingzi asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?" ”
In the moonlight, it was a completely unfamiliar face.
"It's useless for you to know." The man's voice was low and magnetic, and he snatched Lu Qingzi's dagger and said to her, "If you don't know how to use this dagger, you will provide others with the opportunity to stab you to death." ”
Although Lu Qingzi was a little panicked in his heart, his face was still calm.
Seeing Lu Qingzi like this, he didn't yell like the woman just now, which made him a little surprised.
"What do you want me to do for you?" Lu Qingzi looked at him and asked.
The man froze for a moment, and a smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth: "It's a smart woman, I'm injured, the officers and soldiers will come to hunt me down soon, I need you to take me out of the city." ”
As soon as he said this, Lu Qingzi saw that blood had oozed from his abdomen, and all his gray clothes had been dyed red.
"I don't have any other choice, do I?" Lu Qingzi now regrets that he didn't bring a guard.
The man sneered and said, "Yes, you can also choose to die now." ”
Lu Qingzi shook his head, "I don't want to die yet, I can take you out of the city." ”
Seeing that Lu Qingzi agreed, the man didn't embarrass her, and finally let go of her hand.
Lu Qingzi rubbed his wrist, which had been pinched red, and said to him: "It's so late now, you have to find a place to stay!" ”
The man glanced at Lu Qingzi, "Come with me, don't play any tricks." ”
"Don't dare!"
Lu Qingzi had already seen just now that this man had practiced kung fu, she had always been aware of current affairs, and she didn't want to die at the hands of this man before she even saw Ling Xiao Mountain!
The man took Lu Qingzi to a shack, which was very dirty and messy, Lu Qingzi was a little disgusted, but the man had already reached out and pulled her in.
It seems that in order to prevent Lu Qingzi from escaping while he was asleep, the man actually took out shackles and tied Lu Qingzi's feet, and then fixed them somewhere, and put the key in his sleeve.
Then, ignoring the wounds on his body, he lay down flat.
Lu Qingzi couldn't help but look at him and asked, "Why did you kill her?" ”
The man didn't think that Lu Qingzi would ask this question, he was a little silent at the moment, and after a while, he asked rhetorically, "Aren't you afraid of me?" ”
It was an ordinary woman, and she was already trembling with fright, crying and begging him to let her go!
"Are you afraid it will work?" Lu Qingzi said: "It's good to go out of the city tomorrow, and you also promised to let me go out of the city." ”
The man chuckled, "What if I leave the city and I'll kill you?" ”
"Is it necessary?" Lu Qingzi didn't even frown, "I'm a foreigner, I don't even know your name, if you don't kill me, I won't be able to report the crime." ”
Now in her eyes, she just wants to get to Lingxiao Mountain as soon as possible.
Everything else is someone else's business, and she has no ability to manage it, and she has no experience to manage it.
"She kidnapped my brother." The man said suddenly.
Lu Qingzi was stunned for a moment, and then understood who the person he was talking about was the woman in the inn who was killed by him.
"What about your brother?" Lu Qingzi looked at him and asked, "Since you have found this woman, why don't you report it directly to the official?" ”
The man's eyes were deep and deep, "Report to the official? My brother is dead and there is no evidence. Even if she reports to the official, she will only be imprisoned for a few years, and after she comes out, she will abduct other people's children again! ”
"She stabbed the wound on your body?" Lu Qingzi was a little puzzled, according to his skills just now, how could a woman kill him?
"It's not her." The man closed his eyes and didn't want to say anything more, but said to her, "Sleep!" Early tomorrow morning, go out of town. ”
Lu Qingzi glanced at the wound on his abdomen, although it was no longer bleeding, but it was summer at the moment, and she had experienced this kind of pain.
