A slightly bleak autumn breeze blew outside the inner door, shaking the brocade robes of the three Gan Ning, and then a few childlike laughter came, and then I saw a few immature boys with horns, riding bamboo horses, holding small bows and jumping into the inner door.

The children who came in were all children of Donggaoli households, and they were obviously familiar with the prison gate there, so they happily greeted the prison door and went inside. It's just that when they left, they all looked at Gan Ning's three people with wide eyes, and their eyes stared at them for a long time, especially on Gan Ning, the young man, who saw the most before leaving.

During this period, Gan Ning and the three of them did not speak, but just stood still on the side, and they also noticed the eyes of the children, but the three of them did not take it seriously.

Of course, these children didn't recognize Gan Ning, and they were going to go to the pavilion chief and Li Kui to report the news, otherwise, Gan Ning would have to let people forcibly detain them, and then release these children after he finished doing it himself. Strictly speaking, the best way to keep your whereabouts secret is to let the person who sees your whereabouts die, but it is clear that Gan Ning can't do that kind of thing to kill children.

Gan Ning knew the meaning in the eyes of those children, and there was no other meaning, just the envy of ordinary children in brocade clothes, dreaming of getting ahead, and attracting everyone's attention. This scene, he saw in most young people, after all, Gan Ning himself is only a teenager, but he has a lot of strength since he was a child, similar to an adult, it is difficult for ordinary people to be his opponent, if there is no such talented bravery, he would not be able to become the leader of so many young rangers in brocade thieves, Qu Shuai, it is estimated that he is just a ranger with a solid family.

"Then Wang Erlang is at home?" After the child left, Gan Ning spoke, after all, he had a purpose for this trip.

"Second Brother Wang?" When the words fell, the inner prison door exclaimed, he didn't understand what Gan Ning had to do to find Second Brother Wang, that was a ruthless character of a ranger in the township, and his reputation even had to give him a little thin face in the county. Then thinking of Gan Ning's identity, the prison door here was also relieved, his face returned to the same as before, and after thinking about it, he said: "I haven't seen him go out today, so he should be at home." On weekdays, Wang Erlang goes out of his door, so the prison door here dares to pack tickets.

"Hmm." Gan Ning answered, then looked at the two people behind him and said, "Let's go!" ”

The three of them greeted the inner prison gate, and walked towards the south side of the gate, where Wang Erlang's house was located. However, along the way, the three of them kept frowning, because Donggaoli was really a little dirty and messy, and the three people who were used to seeing the prosperous cities of Jing and Yierzhou rarely came in these rural places again, of course, they were very uncomfortable when they came in this time.

In the end, Donggaoli is a rural place, compared to the county, the roads in each "li" in the county are very straight, from this inner gate straight to the opposite inner door, the residential houses are distributed on both sides of the straight road, "than the household is connected, the alley dwells", arranged extremely neatly.

The road in the East Gauli is neither flat nor straight. The houses on the side of the road are also not neat, some go out in front, some in the back, and some people splash water in front of their doors, stepping on mud.

There are about more than 100 households in the house, most of them are closed, passing by a few houses that are not closed, the people in the courtyards of those families, young and old, they see outsiders entering the house, they all look up for a while, and when they see the brocade clothes worn by the three people, they immediately thought of something, and hurriedly closed the courtyard door of the house.

Among them, the bold ones looked in the direction of the East Gao Li Kui's house, and secretly said whether it was time to inform Li Kui, and they were entangled in their hearts for a long time, and finally they closed the door of their own courtyard. Everyone swept the snow in front of their own doors, how could the Gan family behind this brocade thief be something that they, the people, could afford?

However, these people are also very curious, why don't these brocade thieves tie the bell today, they haven't heard the bell all the time, you must know that the brocade thief can be regarded as a brocade thief in addition to not having brocade clothes and bells? But this is also good, these thieves do not bring bells, which also means that they have no intention of robbing today, otherwise if they really rob, then what should these people who were robbed in Donggaoli live on?

Gan Ning, who was walking in the distance, naturally didn't know what these people meant, and even if he knew, he wouldn't explain, so he couldn't say that he was afraid that the bell would reveal his whereabouts, so he deliberately didn't bring it, right? Isn't this the name of a thief in brocade for nothing?

Gradually, an unknown tree appeared in front of me, with sparse leaves, and it should have almost withered. The bleak autumn wind blew back and forth, and soon another branch fell off the ground, along with a few dead yellow leaves.

Next to the big tree is the home of Wang Erlang, who Gan Ning came to find today, and the three of them walked quickly, and soon arrived at a house. Looking from the door, this house is not only small, but also very dilapidated, thinking of the character of the person he saw, Gan Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly, who would have thought that the famous "Anxious Righteous Wang Erlang" in the township, but the family is so cold?

As far as the eye can see, the environment of this family is really not how to describe it, only to see that the courtyard wall of the earth rammed is not very high, and the lime is not painted at all, and the yellow mud is exposed. The two low wooden doors, I don't know how long it has not been renovated, have been beaten by the wind and rain, cracked a lot of cracks, and most of the paint has fallen off, one black and one white, just like a big flower face, looking like a family of broken rangers who have no reputation at all.

It's just that, it is precisely because of this that Gan Ning is willing to befriend this Wang Erlang, I remember that this Wang Erlang used a pot of sour wine to make friends with him, he thought that this person looked down on him, and he casually found a broken wine to send himself, and finally the two fought against each other because of this. The so-called don't fight and don't know each other, and in the end, the two of them also went through this incident, and the relationship was very close, which can be regarded as the simplest heroic righteousness between rangers.

Gan Ning and the person behind him made eye contacts, and the person understood, and immediately stepped forward to knock on the door, and after a while, he heard someone in the courtyard ask, "Who is outside?" ”

Hearing that the voice was a man's voice, Gan Ning knew that it was Wang Er's brother, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Wang, we are here to look for Wang Er, I don't know if he is at home?" ”

"Jiro?" Through the door, I heard the man snort softly, then waited for a while, and then listened to him: "It's unfortunate that my Erlang is not at home today, please come back another day." ”

The pavilion has a pavilion chief to prohibit thieves. This note says: Pavilion chief, the Lord seeks to catch thieves, and he hopes for the captain.

There are Li Kui in the inside, and the people have Shiwu, and good and evil are told. This note says: Li Kui is in charge of one hundred families. Ten families of the lord and five families of the lord of Wu are inspected by each other. and the people have good deeds and evil deeds to sue the judges.
