Chapter 169: The carriage is stolen
The next morning, the wind and snow blew again, and a group of people stood at the door of the tavern, blowing the wind and snow, dumbfounded to look at the four tree stumps next to the tavern. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ye Cheng walked towards the four stumps with a strange expression, touched one of them, and looked at it carefully. The rope is tied to the stump, and if someone unties the rope and takes the carriage away, there will be no trace left on the stump.
And it snowed heavily all night, and the traces of the car's grunt had long been covered.
Before resting last night, Ye Cheng went out of the tavern to check because he was not worried about the carriage on the side of the mountain road. At that time, the carriage was still there, and no one passed on the mountain road, so he went back to the tavern to rest in peace.
But I never thought that after one night, the four carriages would disappear inexplicably.
Thinking about it now, Ye Cheng was full of remorse. He grasped the roots of the tree with his right hand, and complained to himself, "I should have stayed in the carriage"
At this time, the grumpy Zhuzi'an walked towards the stump and shouted, "Who is so bold as to steal our carriage?" ”
Because the county seat is on the mountain, the shouts of Zhu Zi'an echo on the mountain.
But because the palace-style buildings on the crater road are a little far apart, and there is no other building to see if you continue to look on the mountain road, so the tavern is a little desolate now, and no one pays attention to Zhu Zi'an's shouting.
And this will Xiao Er ran out of the tavern sleepily, and said in a panic, "This guest officer, please speak quietly." Your voice will disturb the adults on the mountain. ”
Ye Cheng saw Xiao Er coming out and immediately ran over. When he woke up in the middle of the night last night, he still saw candlelight on the first floor. I thought that Xiao Er hadn't rested yet, so what should he know?
But just as he was about to run in front of Xiao Er, Ye Cheng saw that Liu Fatzi at the back of the crowd was a little cowering, looking scared.
Ye Cheng stood in front of Xiao Er disappreciatively, and asked anxiously, "May I ask Xiao Er, when did you sleep last night?" Did you hear any movement outside before you went to bed? ”
Xiao Er didn't wake up with a face, squinted his eyes and thought, and then replied lazily, "I turned off the lights and rested after my son last night, and I didn't hear any movement at that time."
"Child?" Ye Cheng lowered his head and thought.
It was from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. the next day, which meant that the carriage was stolen after 1 a.m., and everyone was asleep.
After entering the Heavenly Ancient Kingdom, without the pursuit, everyone will inevitably relax their vigilance. After getting off the bumpy carriage, we simply got a comfortable place to rest, and everyone naturally took advantage of it. This can't be blamed on everyone, Ye Cheng also slept like a dead pig at that time.
After not getting any news from Xiao Er, Ye Cheng began to shift his attention to Liu Fatzi.
Ye Cheng slowly looked up at Liu Fatzi at the back of the crowd, intending to observe for a while.
At this time, Liu Fatzi found that Ye Cheng was looking at him, and he immediately turned his head to look away, avoiding Ye Cheng's gaze.
This move made Ye Cheng even more suspicious, he pushed aside the crowd and walked slowly towards Liu Fatzi, stared at Liu Fatzi, and asked tentatively, "Shopkeeper Liu, do you know something?" ”
Liu Fatzi's hands trembled, and he said in a panic, "I don't know, I don't know"
"Don't know? Then you turn your head and look at me again, does it have anything to do with your gambling," Ye Cheng continued to say speculatively.
Fat Liu became more and more flustered, his body trembled a little, and he never dared to look at Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng continued to speculate, "Speaking of gambling, the group of strong men who surrounded you before seemed to have said, 'Don't let me see you in the county seat'" Suddenly, he said in a very firm tone, "It seems that I can only tell Shopkeeper Wu about your gambling."
Liu Fatzi suddenly looked at Ye Cheng in a panic with a smile on his face, clenched his hands into fists and made a gesture of please, and said, "Brother Ye, don't tell Hall Master Wu about these little things."
"What seems to you is a small thing, but I think it is a big thing. If you want to say what's going on? Either wait for me to find my shopkeeper Wu, and tell me about your gambling in 1510," Ye Cheng threatened.
"Okay, I said" Seeing that Ye Cheng couldn't be screwed, Liu Fatzi said helplessly, "I'm not sure, but the gambling house is indeed on it, I think it should be the group of people who saw your carriage, so they took it away."
Hearing that this was the result, Ye Cheng was half happy and half worried. I am happy that there is a carriage, and I am worried about whether I can return to the carriage.
Those strong men before saw that they were not timid, if it weren't for the intimidation of the five hundred white-clothed troops, I am afraid they would have to do it. Now the strongman's base camp is on the mountain, and if there are more people than before, I am afraid it will be a bit troublesome to return to the carriage.
Ye Cheng lowered his head and looked solemn.
Just when Ye Cheng was worried, Zhu Zi'an couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly, "These boys actually dare to steal our carriage." Four younger brothers, let's go up and pack them up."
The cautious Zhuziju couldn't let Zhu Zi'an mess around like this, he hurriedly hugged Zhu Zi'an and persuaded him, "Brother, don't be impulsive, listen to the thoughts of the eighth brother and everyone first"
Zhu Zi'an struggled, "What else do you want?" I know that the carriage is on the mountain, of course to take it back."
Zhu Ziju dragged Zhu Zi'an's waist with both hands, his head was under the latter's armpit, and he looked at Ye Cheng nervously and asked, "Eighth brother, how is it now?" ”
Ye Cheng looked at Zhuziju, in Fengshen County, where he was unfamiliar with his life, he had no way in his heart. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally showed a pair of bright eyes, and made up his mind to go up to the gambling house for a while.
As the so-called soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth, no matter how many people he has, let's talk about it after breaking in.
"Let's go and get the carriage back," Ye Cheng said in high spirits, and then walked through the crowd and walked towards the mountain road.
Zhu Ziju was a little surprised, and his hands that grasped Zhu Zi'an slowly let go.
Zhu Zi'an shouted happily, "Haha, it should be like this" After speaking, he quickly ran to Ye Cheng's side.
Zhu Ziju watched them gradually walk away, and turned his head to look at the crowd behind them, wanting to see what everyone thought.
At this time, everyone also began to walk up the mountain.
Everyone's actions have agreed with Ye Cheng's idea. Seeing this, Zhu Ziju hurriedly ran to the other side of Yecheng and asked, "Eighth brother, do you already have a plan?" ”
Ye Cheng said calmly, "No"
"Ah," Zhu Ziju looked frightened.
"Ziju, what are you afraid of? Haven't we all come all the way through this," Zhu Zi'an said very proudly.
"Yes, it was like this, and when I was in the forbidden land, I was beaten by the white-clothed army and had no room to fight back," Zhu Ziju complained in a low voice.
"Brother Ziju, not this time. In the past, we faced a well-trained army with a crushing advantage in numbers, but this time it was different. This time we are facing some thugs in the market, if the number of people is equal, we should be sure that we can recapture the carriage" Ye Cheng analyzed very calmly.
"I hope so," said the sons.
