Early the next morning, the streets of Huizhou were full of passers-by. Gradually, the pedestrians began to talk, full of confusion and amazement. The words of a well-meaning person are full of worries and worries.

"Hey, did you find it? Why are the little beggars on the street gone? At this time, the streets and alleys are all over the place, which is really strange~"

"Don't say it, after you reminded me like this, it's really strange that I can't see a little beggar anymore, it seems that all disappeared overnight."

"Hey, without these little beggars, I don't know if it's good or bad? By the way, I have to go home first, explain, and tell my family to take care of the children, don't be a human trafficker in the city~! ”

"Yes, yes, I have to go home quickly, and I will give instructions to take care of my children."

"Hey, these poor children, they have no parents at such a young age, they are living on the streets, and now they are missing, it's so pitiful~!"

"Dude, let's go to the broken temple to see, those children are still there, what's wrong? If they are all missing, we have to report to the police quickly, after all, there are so many little lives. ”

The voice of discussion is well-intentioned and full of worry; There is a cold nature, indifferent to so many orphans missing, indifferent, indifferent, worse than their own lost cats and dogs; The person in the middle does not comment, but goes home and tells his family to take care of his children.

What is strange is that after the well-wishers searched everywhere, searched every broken house, and searched every broken temple, they did not find a single orphan, as if they had evaporated overnight, and there was no one, so completely disappeared from the world, leaving no trace.

Soon, some people with good deeds reported the disappearance of the orphan to the government yamen. Under the pressure of public opinion, there were too many orphans involved, and the prefect sent officials to investigate.

However, after nearly a month of investigation, there was no progress, and in the end, it became a headless public case in Huizhou Prefecture, which was hotly discussed in people's mouths from time to time, surprised and sighed.

A few years later, some burly and prominent dignitaries, civil officials and military generals suddenly appeared in Huizhou Mansion, claiming to be orphans who lived on the streets of Huizhou back then, and came back to repay the kindness of some people's meals, so that future generations called it strange and strange, and passed it on as an unsolvable story.

After Yang Lin and his entourage left Huizhou, they walked five miles away from Huizhou at this time, near Meishan, and walked towards the Tianzhu Mountain next to it.

On this day, there are still two days before Yang Lin takes office.

Yang Lin and his party appeared in a dilapidated village, full of fluffy artemisia grass, surrounded by disorderly weeds, deserted, a huge village, without the slightest human breath.

Along the way, Yang Lin and others got used to this situation. Unless you are passing through a place as big as a prefecture and county, there are still people, but there are not many. Seven or eight out of ten of the villages I walked through were deserted, dilapidated, and in ruins.

In a county town, after asking people, Yang Lin knew why so many people went to the empty village. It turns out that as the clay seller in Huizhou said, the closer you get to Guangzhou, the more bandits there are, and the more unscrupulous they are, rampaging through the countryside, which is why there are so many abandoned villages.

At this time, Yang Lin seemed to have discovered something, walked a few steps forward quickly, and suddenly pulled away the one-person-high artemisia grass, and immediately a boundary monument appeared, with three big characters towering.

Fu'anzhuang

Yang Lin's sudden acceleration attracted Yang Xiao's attention. The kid leaned up quickly, followed Yang Lin's gaze, and also saw the boundary monument in the weeds, read it silently, and asked curiously: "Hey, young master, where is this Fu'an Village?" Where are we now? ”

At the same time, the small and cute little Lori Zhao Min also walked over, standing tightly beside Yang Lin, and also looked at Yang Lin with a questioning face.

Yang Lin originally didn't want to ignore Yang Xiao, but this kid asked a lot along the way, which made Yang Lin very annoyed. At this time, I saw Amin looking at him, wanting to know. So, Yang Lin said slowly: "Fu'anzhuang is located in the territory of Dongguan, a small village in the southwest. ”

"If we are not in a hurry like these days, it is estimated that we will be able to reach Guangzhou Mansion in about a day and a half."

Zhao Min didn't say anything yet, but Yang Xiao cheered first: "Ou~, great, in another day and a half, I will no longer have to suffer from rushing every day, and I will no longer have to be in the carriage every day~!" ”

At this moment, Yang Lin also smiled.

To be honest, after more than a month of traveling, Yang Lin was also tired of the boredom on the road, and he couldn't enter the followers to train new personnel, and he couldn't discuss the improvement of Lianzhu Gong with Zhao Xiang and them. is about to end the trip, how can Yang Lin not laugh? How can you not be happy?

Then, Yang Xiao still had excitement on his face, and exclaimed: "Young master, you know that such a small place as Fu'anzhuang is amazing!" Master, can you teach me how to remember such a small place, after all, if you rush in the future, you won't go the wrong way~! ”

Zhao Min also looked at Yang Lin with bright eyes, with a look of admiration.

Ahem

Yang Lin coughed dryly, a little embarrassed, and said in a slightly dry tone: "Yang Xiao, a small village like Fu'anzhuang in the country, large and small, combined, there are not 100,000 or million, but there are tens of thousands, this is still what I saw in the book, as for the others that have not been recorded, I don't know how many." ”

"How can I possibly know all of these villages? The reason why I know this Fu'anzhuang is purely because, before leaving Huizhou, I inquired about the roads, which roads we will take, and we will pass by there. ”

"Otherwise, if I knew every village, we wouldn't have taken the wrong path and run to the boundary of Ganzhou Mansion."

At that moment, all of a sudden, the attendants who were cleaning the room were in a commotion, and one by one they quickly bent down and ran after them, shuttling through the grass, and their mouths kept shouting: "Rabbit, rabbit, catch it!" ”

One after another shouts rang out, mixed with a cacophony of sounds. In an instant, such a situation attracted Yang Xiao's attention in an instant, and he also became excited, and quickly ran in the direction of his entourage.

I saw the entourage not far away, and there was a rabbit in front of each of them, very fat, and they were chased by the entourage running wildly, and they were frightened and panicked for a while, and kept drilling towards the nearest grass.

At the same time, Yang Lin was also interested, and instead of catching rabbits, he walked quickly to the direction of the carriage of the group.

Whether it is the servants or Yang Xiao, who has just joined, until now, there is still nothing. The weeds that are half a man tall are not only tall, but also very dense, with withered yellow grass from last year. Therefore, these people catch rabbits, it is very hard, full of difficulties, they can't use their hands and feet at all, and they are bound by weeds.

Yang Xiao and these people are still acting unremittingly, trying their best to be very attentive. In order to catch the rabbit, there is a sudden tiger pounce, and there is a combination of vertical and vertical, just to catch the rabbit. They knew in their hearts that as long as they caught the rabbit, they could add food tonight to replenish the oil and water in their abdomen and satisfy their cravings.

Looking at the fat and fleeing rabbits, they seemed to see rabbits that were standing on the fire, already roasted and browned, and the smell was overflowing.

Suddenly, "Bang~Bang~!" A gunshot sounded so frightened that Yang Xiao's body trembled, and in an instant the cat's waist entered the grass next to him. The rest of the retinue jumped to the back of the best cover, watched the direction of the gunfire with wary eyes, instinctively grabbed a rock with both hands, or picked up a stick, with great skill and speed.

In an instant, the lively atmosphere just now was frozen, and in an instant, it turned into tension, and the smell of gunpowder smoke was everywhere, and the battle was about to break out.
