Chapter 413: Fall (3)
This inn is a bit Suzhou style, and there is a small balcony outside the window, but because the windowsill is too high, it is difficult to notice it even if you stand by the window. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to notice that there is such a view here.
However, although it was well repaired, it was not too carefully managed, so that the so-called balcony was just a few wooden planks tamped on the wooden structure of the house, and a rotten wooden board was covered on it. If you put a few pots of flowers and plants on it, it is a bit dangerous to sit on the balcony and enjoy the view.
At this time, Shen Wuyan curled up in this small space, constantly shaking as his body moved, and he could faintly hear the sound of rotten wood that was about to break if it was difficult to bear.
His heart hung over the officer and soldier outside the door, and he had to be cautious, and if he accidentally said something, he would fall off this balcony.
Although there is only a second floor, this building is also extremely high, and it will not be fatal if you fall, and there is a lakeside below, but because you don't know the depth of the water, it is difficult to judge the degree of danger.
Even if the water is very shallow, it is inevitable that you will fall, and when the time comes, you will leak yourself, and it will be difficult to escape the pursuit after all.
Although he was hiding well in the room now, Shen Wuyan could still hear the words outside the door, so when he heard the words of the fat-headed and big-eared officers and soldiers, he almost didn't stand firm.
After a little hesitation, he slowly stretched out his hand, gently pushed the closed window open, creating an illusion of escaping through the window, and then dived deep into the small space, listening carefully to the words outside the door.
"The little two just said it...... You had a very happy conversation with that Shen Wuyan, if you said it didn't matter, who would believe ......"
The veiled woman was obviously a little hesitant, but she didn't panic, she just smiled, waved her hand casually, and said, "It just so happened that he was sitting there, and then he left first, and I went back to the room, but I didn't notice where he went...... If you don't believe me, you can come in and search. ”
The fat head and big ears have long had this idea, but they are still a little afraid of this veiled woman, after all, it is obviously difficult for ordinary people to be so calm when they see the officers and soldiers, so they guess that the other party has some origins.
Now that the famous leader Zhou has died in Pyongyang Mansion, they don't know what will happen to them, so they have no intention of causing more trouble.
So much so that even though the veiled woman was already quite suspicious, he was still polite to her, and did not even mention that there was a search of the room.
But since the other party is saying so now, that's just right. Therefore, the fat head and big ears sneered, and said coldly to the veiled woman: "Then offend." ”
As soon as the words fell, he beckoned several officers and soldiers to the room today.
This room is not big, there are really not many places to hide people, and after checking the wardrobe under the bed, the next place is clearly visible, and there is no place to hide.
Looking at the fat man's slightly disappointed face, the woman sighed lightly and said, "I don't know how Shen Gongzi offended the official...... Why do you want to be arrested like this? ”
The obese man was already annoyed in his heart, and at this time, listening to the woman's tepid words, he was even more angry. He glared at the woman sharply and snorted coldly, "You don't meddle in your business. ”
As soon as the words fell, the fat man wanted to leave, but the moment he turned around, he suddenly showed a hint of joy on his face, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the window.
The woman hadn't noticed that the window that had been closed just now to cover Shen Wuyan was opening wide at this time, so her heart sank, and she wanted to step forward to stop the fat-headed and big-eared officers and soldiers, but the other party had already walked to the window, and it was too late.
"This official ......"
"He must have jumped out of the window and fled...... Come and see ......," he said, pointing to both sides of the window and chuckling, "This window must have been closed before, and the man fled in the confusion...... As a result, the windows open irregularly...... Have any of you ever seen a window open like this? ”
As he spoke, he fixed his gaze on the veiled woman and said lightly, "The girl must remember when this window was opened, right?" ”
The woman nodded hurriedly and replied, "Because I am not feeling well...... Moreover, the fishy smell in the lake under the window is very heavy, so the window has not been opened...... I didn't notice when the window opened. ”
His guess was verified, and the fat-headed and big-eared officer and soldier smiled proudly, and then continued: "Look at this sign, it should be ......."
Suddenly, his smile stiffened on his face, and then he pointed to a dark shadow on the lakeside under the window, and said in surprise, "Look...... He was in the lake...... Come with me. ”
As soon as the words fell, he hurriedly walked towards the door, leaving only the slightly frowning woman staring blankly at the black shadow floating on the lake, and looked carefully at the clothes of the person just now.
"He ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard an impatient voice: "It's so dangerous...... This fat man is really witty...... If it weren't for me......"
As he spoke, Shen Wuyan reluctantly climbed up from the very hidden balcony, thinking in his heart that this place was so hidden, could it be that he was afraid that the one in the family would come to catch the traitor?
Of course, Shen Wuyan didn't say this idea, thinking about it left and right, if this is really the case, he has become an adulterer, but it is not good, so he doesn't think about it anymore.
Thankfully, they finally escaped another pursuit, and this time it was very successful, and the officers and soldiers should not be chasing back in a short period of time, and they can rest for a while.
"Why did you drop your clothes in the lake?" The woman's curious gaze wandered on Shen Wuyan's body when she took off her coat, and after a long time, she shook her head and said, "Childe is really not very elegant like this...... I'll go find you clothes. ”
Shen Wuyan then remembered that he had just thrown his clothes into the lake, and since he had lured the officers and soldiers to search in the lake, only underwear was left on his body at this time, although it was not too explicit, but it was still not very suitable after all.
Looking at the girl who was in a hurry to go out, Shen Wuyan hurriedly said, "Then thank you girl......
Although there was a tailor's shop opposite the shop, if he wanted to cut a piece of clothing, he had to wait for Shen Wuyan to go over in person, and at this time, it was obvious that he couldn't show up, so he randomly chose a shabby dress to bring back to the room.
"Although the clothes are a ......little torn," said the woman, who glanced at the torn Confucian robe in embarrassment, smiled bitterly, and said, "Anyway, you won't leave here tonight...... I'll make it up for you......"
As she spoke, the woman went to the bedside and carefully took out a small box containing needlework and thread.
"Patching is definitely not good...... Looking at what you're wearing, you look like a rich boy...... You're going to be there......"
At this time, it was not early, Shen Wuyan lit the oil lamp, sat opposite the woman, watched the other party sew clothes for himself, and suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, and looked at the veiled woman blankly.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that this woman seemed to be very familiar, but he couldn't remember exactly where she was familiar.
"The girl hasn't said what to call ...... yet"
