Chapter 50: Out of the City
The man didn't even snort and slid down the tree, and I was afraid that the two people in the distance would see it, so I came to the front to help him, and slowly put him at the root of the tree, leaning on the tree, as if he was tired and sat down to rest.
After solving this, I tried to find a way for the other two, and I saw that there was a small tavern behind the two of them, and there were a few guests drinking in it, and I left the big tree and walked past the tavern. It's like going to the tavern to drink, when I walk past the two people, I pretend to be swaying, the two people don't care, still staring at the inn, I came behind them, turned around and slashed one of them with my palm, before they could react, I had already finished the fight, looking at the two soft people on the ground, I dragged them to a dark corner on the side of the road, and went to the tavern to beat a few pounds of wine, and came back to pour them into their mouths, until the wine poured into their mouths, and then stopped, so that others find out that they also think that they are two drunks, and they will not be suspicious.
I looked at the inn until I saw Wang Jinhuai and Wei Zihan leaving, and followed them from a distance of about a hundred paces, to see if anyone noticed them leaving and followed behind. Until I came to the city gate, because it was very dark, there were few people in and out, and the soldiers guarding the gate were also lazy, and the two of them went out of the city smoothly, and I immediately followed to the outside of the city, at this time the moon was already hanging on the treetops, and there were not a few figures on the official road, and I did not find the carriage that the old man said, so I caught up with the two of them.
"Big brother, where is the old man waiting for us. Why can't you see him, it won't be the old man who left first. Wei Zihan asked.
I said, "No, the old man is not like that, let's go further and have a look." If the old man hired two carriages, it would definitely be conspicuous. ”
The three of us walked along the official road, Wei Zihan is a girl and a typical little foot, and she can't walk fast, so we can't go fast, and we have been walking for three miles before we met the old man on the road, but I didn't see the carriage.
"Old man, you are here, where is the carriage." Wang Jinhuai saw the old man and asked.
The old man dragged us into the woods on the side of the road, stopped, and held back for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry, I went to hire a carriage today, but there was no one, and it was said that the carriages in the whole city were hired by someone." I want to go to the inn to inform you, and when I see several people watching at the entrance of the inn, I will go out of the city and wait for you. It seems that we can't leave tonight, find a place, stay until dawn, and when they come out, I'll contact them to go together. ”
"Old man, I think so, since they don't even give us a chance in the carriage, if they go to the inn tonight and can't find us, they will definitely follow them tomorrow, Shunzi them, if we want to get rid of them, we can only walk a little way first, and then leave in a hired car." After I finished speaking, Wei Zihan and Wang Jinhuai also nodded in agreement.
The old man said, "Okay, then let's walk for a while, let's walk on the path, I know that there is a village more than ten miles away from here, where to go first to see if there is a carriage or something." ”
After speaking, the old man led the way, and the group walked through the woods and headed northwest.
Although it was a small road that was not very easy to walk, fortunately the moonlight was bright, except for Wei Zihan who was slower, and kept the speed when we went out of the city. The old man explored the way more than ten steps away from us in front, I pulled Wei Zihan in the middle, and Wang Jinhuai was two or three steps behind us.
When we arrived at the village that the old man had mentioned, we saw by the faint moonlight that the whole village was not large, and there were only about twenty rooms, shrouded in the moonlight, and there was not a trace of light coming out. There are also thin light mist shrouded in the moonlit villages.
When I was a dozen paces away from the village, I saw that the old man stopped there and did not go until the three of us caught up, and the old man said softly, "Do you feel that something is wrong there, how do I feel strange?" Wang Jinhuai said: "I just feel very quiet, and there is nothing special. ”
I said, "Old man, it's not right here, have you paid attention, the dog barks at one point at night, why is there no dog barking here." Isn't there a single dog in the whole village? ”
As soon as I said this, everyone suddenly woke up to the fact that in the dead of night, how could the sound of the four of us walking not alarm the dogs.
The old man said, "No, let's go around." ”
"Don't worry, old man, wait for me here, I'll go in and take a look, if it's okay, we'll pass it over, if there's something, you can go around, if there's any movement inside, you don't care about me, I'll do it myself, you take Miss Wei to the capital to find his uncle first, and I'll go to meet you."
As soon as I finished speaking, Wei Zihan suddenly took my hand and said, "Big brother, don't go in, let's go together, just go around, why do you have to go in, I can walk, and I'm not afraid when I walk to the capital." ”
I clasped Wei Zihan's hand and said: "Zihan, you don't understand, if there is a trap ahead, we can't get around, if it's not a trap, then it's safe, so I must go in to explore, you follow the old man and Mr. Wang, be obedient, I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll run if I can't beat me, don't worry, Zihan, wait for me to come back." ”
After talking to Wei Zihan, I pulled the old man aside again, and said in a voice that Wei Zihan couldn't hear: "Senior, I think there must be danger in the village in front, although I don't know what danger it is, after I go in, don't care about what I hear, and leave here with them." ”
The old man patted me on the shoulder and said, "Okay, the old man will definitely live up to his trust and bring them to the capital safely, you must pay attention to safety when you go in, and get out as soon as you can." ”
Bidding farewell to the old man Wei Zihan and Wang Jinhuai, I walked to the village, and when I came to the entrance of the village, I looked at the three people in the moonlight behind me, waved to them, and walked along the street to the center of the village.
