Chapter 109: Smoothly out of the city
Lan Zi'an found Lin Tian and told them the result of the discussion between the two brothers and sisters. In addition, Lin Tian asked the other party to cooperate with them in a play tomorrow, but Lan Zi'an didn't ask much about this, and agreed on the spot.
That night, when it was already over, it was time for people to fall asleep, and Lin Tian and his party quietly took advantage of the night to sneak out of the house. Everyone leaned against the base of the wall, pulling one by one, and groped their way forward softly and slowly.
Lin Tian and the others were going to go to a rented place in Daydaydaru, and when it was dark tomorrow morning, they would leave the city as soon as the city gate was opened. As soon as Lin Tian and the others came out of the back door, they heard three cat meows, and Lin Tian immediately led the people to move towards the cat's meow.
This was exactly the signal that Lin Tian had agreed with Ghost Face, and when he got closer, he found that it was indeed Ghost Face hiding in the dark. After joining up with Oniface, the group went to the premises rented by Dayday. Ghost Face didn't come alone, there were six people who walked with him.
Daru Huachi led the way in front, passing through alleys, and finally arrived at a small courtyard close to Beicheng District. It is a private house, and the owner is not at home all the year round, so Daru can rent it.
After arriving, Lin Tian handed Ghost Face a note, and on the note was the address written by Lin Tian, which was the address that Lin Tian asked Dalu to rent during the day to place the remaining three coffins. The ghost face was immediately handed over to the subordinates behind him, and the other party was instructed to act carefully.
Ghost Face stayed, and together with Lin Tian and the others, he temporarily rested in this private house. The crowd had only been sitting for a few hours, and the sky was getting brighter. Everyone basically sat and rested for a few hours, but Lin Tian and Ghost Face did not close their eyes, because they had to look at the sky, so as not to miss the hour, and the rest of the people would be confused.
It's getting dark, and it's time to start getting ready. Woke up the crowd and arranged their work. In fact, Daru did a good job, and Daru did everything Lin Tian ordered.
A relatively simple carriage was led out by Daru, and the rest of the people were still dressed in linen and filial piety, while the ghost face sat in front of the old man, who painted and dressed him. Because the owner of the coffin this time is a ghost face, he pretends to be the deceased. Liangyimen is worthy of being the number one killer organization in the past, and its methods are strange.
The old man had a thin layer of skin on the ghost's face, and he didn't know what the old man was made of, but it perfectly matched the ghost's face. At this time, there is still about 1 hour before the city gate opens, and the time is urgent. The old man's technique is very skillful, and he must have done this many times before.
Lin Tian and the rest of the people were full of curiosity at the beginning and watched it with relish. But the more I looked down, the more I couldn't stand it, and I felt sick to my stomach. The old man picked up the sharp little dagger and used the tip of the knife to pick a few places on the fake face of the ghost face, the beginning was unknown, but when the old man went up step by step, Lin Tian couldn't stand it.
In particular, the old man took out a yellow viscous substance and made the ghost face lie flat in the coffin to put on this kind of thing. In order to avoid trouble, Lin Tian let Daru lie in the dark layer of the coffin, because Daru's rough appearance among the crowd was easy to attract attention, and this time Lin Tian didn't want to be a little surprised. This batch of coffins was customized according to Lin Tian's requirements, so it was slightly deeper than ordinary coffins, so a dark layer was made so that one more person could be transported out.
Daru first entered the dark layer of the coffin, then covered it with a thin sheet, and then laid out the cloth in the coffin. The coffin is specially made and has a vent at the bottom, so there is no need to worry about Daru and Ghost Face being deprived of oxygen in the coffin.
Then there was the layer on which Ghost Face lay down, and after lying down, the old man put some yellow sticky stuff on Ghost Face's face. "Old man, what are you, why are you so disgusting?" Lan Zi'an was a little curious, so he asked.
"Is it disgusting?" The old man didn't answer and asked rhetorically, and Lan Zi'an and the others all nodded. "That's right, you all feel disgusting when you look at it, those unsuspecting city gate guards, don't you believe it more when you see it?"
Everyone thought that this was indeed the case, and it would be easier to get out of the city. Seeing that it was still early in the morning, and it was still time to leave, the old man moved the idea of making fun of these young people. "Actually, this thing tastes pretty good, doesn't it? The old man's words shocked Lin Tian and them, and everyone shook their heads in disbelief.
"You don't believe me?" Everyone nodded, and then everyone saw an even more shocking scene, which gave them goosebumps. The old man picked up a finger and dipped it in some yellow gooey substance. I put it in my mouth and smacked it a few times, as if I was tasting it.
"Well, it's not bad." The old man's actions made Lin Tian unacceptable, and the old man actually said that it tasted good. Lin Tian only felt a tumbling in his chest, and Lin Tian gritted his teeth. The rest of the people were in a similar state, and several girls and children turned away from the old man one after another, their faces full of fright.
"Uncle Shi, don't scare them, when your legs are weak, you will always pull the cart!" The ghost face in the coffin suddenly spoke, but the tone was a little strange, as if it was a feeling of holding back not smiling.
"Shut up, pretend to be your dead, what are you going to do when you speak?" The old man was pierced by the ghost face, and he couldn't cover his face for a while, and immediately vented his resentment on his nephew. Lin Tian and the others were also a little puzzled when they said this, although the old man is usually very weird, but he is not so perverted!
"Alright, I'll tell you!" The old man gave the answer in the expectant eyes of Lin Tian and the others, picked up the yellow sticky thing and said, "This is actually tofu with some ingredients, but it actually tastes good." ”
Everyone took the thing from the old man's hand suspiciously, smelled it, and it really didn't smell anything. Lan Zi'an was bold, and tasted it, it was indeed tofu, and then everyone let go of the disgusting feeling in their hearts.
It's a little episode, killing time, waiting for the city gates to open. When the time came, Lin Tian checked the rest of the people's costumes and things one by one, and there was nothing missing. So let Lan Zi'an lead the team to the north city gate, let Lan Zi'an deal with the soldiers at the city gate, Lin Tian believed that he would handle it better, Lin Tian was afraid that he would not understand some customs here, and it would not be good to be seen through by the city guards.
It was a cool morning, there was no one on the street, Lin Tian and the seven of them pulled a dilapidated carriage, and the carriage had a dark coffin, and the material was not of the highest quality. Among the seven men, two young men and two women, one young man and one woman, and a white-haired old man, all dressed in coarse linen mourning clothes.
Occasionally, passers-by couldn't help but point their fingers, speculating whether it was Lao Suo's boss or his children in the coffin, and if it was the latter, it would be a pity for the white-haired person to send the black-haired person.
Walking to the city gate, there were few people, only a few soldiers guarding the city gate. "Stop", a soldier stretched out his hand to stop Lin Tian and them. asked Lan Zi'an in front of him, "What are you doing?" ”
Obviously, this is a lie with his eyes open, and he is not blind, so how can he not see it. It is nothing more than that those who are officials and soldiers are accustomed to acting in front of ordinary people, and they must find some sense of existence in everything.
"Master Jun, my cousin is here, we are going out of the city to find a good place for him."
"Really?" The soldier looked treacherous and kept staring at Lan Zi'an. "Anyone who goes out of the city must be carefully examined, come, search for me." With a wave of his hand, the rest of the other soldiers rushed up, not only to search for items, but even to do body searches.
And these soldiers came forward very actively, with an evil smile, as if they had done a lot of this kind of thing, and they were used to it. Sou Lintian and a few of them are men, but there are still three girls in this team, and these soldiers are obviously ill-intentioned.
After Lin Tian, Lan Zi'an, and the old man were searched, these soldiers moved closer to Wu Yao, Lu Qianqian, and Chen Manni, and they were not interested in Chen Xiuyuan and the coffin at all. Wu Yao and Mannie were frightened, while Lu Qianqian was angry. Lan Zi'an saw that Lu Qianqian was on the verge of an outburst, and hurriedly grabbed the soldier who was talking to him just now.
This soldier seems to be the little leader on duty, Lan Zi'an hurriedly took the other party's hand and handed the other party a few 2 silver coins, they are dressed as poor people, so this money can't be given too much, and if you give too much, you will be suspicious. The soldier's little head shook the 2 silver coins in his hand and was overjoyed.
Originally, he saw that Lin Tian and the others were not only poorly dressed, but even the loss was shabby, and he didn't expect to be able to squeeze oil and water from them at first. But a few little girls in the team looked pretty good, so they played the rule that they couldn't be empty-handed, and they always wanted to get something, so they got lustful and wanted to rub oil to satisfy their greed.
He didn't expect Lan Zi'an to pull him and give him 2 silver coins, which was neither too much nor too little for these little soldiers. Looking back at a few girls, he was a little unwilling, these people were indeed good-looking.
"Master Jun, you probably don't know how my cousin died, right?" Seeing that the head of the soldiers was not dead, Lan Zi'an thought that he needed to divert their attention.
Hearing this, the soldier replied casually: "How did you die?" ”
"Pestilence."
Lan Zi'an's voice was very small, and he spoke in the ear close to the head of the soldier. The head of the soldier was shocked when he heard this, and then immediately calmed down and glared at Lan Zi'an: "You kid, don't bluff me, I'm scared when you are your grandfather?" ”
"Master Jun, I don't believe you can go and see it yourself!"
In this way, the head of the soldier was beating a drum in his heart. casually pointed to a person next to him, "Go, show me if there is a hidden party in the coffin." Since Lan Zi'an said it by the side of the soldier's head, the other soldiers didn't hear what Lan Zi'an said.
The leader of the soldiers did not dare to go himself, so he ordered the others to check it out. The soldier didn't know it, so he stepped into the carriage generously, and with all his strength lifted a corner of the coffin. At the scene, the soldier howled and screamed as if he had seen a ghost, fell out of the car in fright, and sat down on the ground. He didn't even bother to stand up, and his hands were like dogs, and he quickly picked them up and moved away from the coffin.
"What howl", the soldier head walked over and kicked hard, "Say, what do you see?" ”
"Plague... Symptoms, is... It's the plague, and the people in it have the plague. ”
The soldier who fell to the ground, his face full of horror, was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and stammered to answer the soldier's head. As soon as the soldier who fell to the ground said that it was a plague, he frightened the rest of the soldiers around him, and hurriedly retreated a few steps, and covered his mouth and nose, and even did not dare to approach the soldier who fell to the ground, but he still fell to the ground and howled.
The soldier was also shocked when he heard this, and he slowly moved his steps closer to the coffin, but he did not dare to get too close, so he stood on tiptoe and dragged his long neck into the coffin. Slowly, he saw that it was a sore face, full of tatters and rotten flesh, and he just glanced at it, and then he took a few steps back in fright.
"Cover it, cover it." The leader of the soldiers hurriedly asked Lin Tian to cover the coffin, and Lan Zi'an walked up to cover the coffin, because he was the only one among these people who had the strength. "Get out, get out. Hurry up and take it out and burn it with fire, and if you hear it, you must burn it. ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
In this way, Lin Tian and the others successfully walked out of the North City Gate, and as soon as they got out of the city gate, there was laughter from time to time among the people, and they covered their mouths to make themselves laugh as loudly as possible.
When the soldier saw the two silver coins in his hand, as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake, he immediately withdrew his hand and went back, and the silver coins fell to the ground, and no one dared to pick them up.
