Chapter 54: False alarm
(For @ Jiageng on the seventh day of the first month)
It was getting late, night was falling, the lights on the street were stirred up, and the little carpenter sat on the bluestone slab, and the whole person seemed to have lost his spirit, his eyes were blank and empty.
He had already turned around all this piece, and he didn't know how many people he asked, but there was no news except for one person telling him that Gu Baiguo had been taken away.
Gu Baiguo was lost by him.
At the thought of this, the little carpenter's heart was swallowed up by endless regret and sadness, and it seemed to be clenched tightly and pinched one by one.
I didn't feel any physical feelings, but my heart still couldn't help but hurt.
This pain made it a little difficult for the little carpenter to even breathe, and he felt that his eyes were blurred for a while, and the world was not worth it.
Why is this happening?
It's only been a few days since they've known each other, why do they feel this way, even more sad than seeing Master die in front of him?
A few days of affection, is it more profound than more than ten years of nurturing grace?
The little carpenter was distressed, and when he thought of this question, he felt more and more terrible - what was wrong with him?
How so?
Is it because I have changed, or is that little girl too cute?
He is not the kind of old fox who has read all the things in the world, and his feelings are also hazy, at this moment he seems to have lost something crucial, his mind is a mess, I don't know how long it took, someone kicked him in the leg and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
He didn't react, and the man became fierce: "Hey, the one who cut off the skull, say you're a good one, stand up and ......"
The little carpenter looked up and saw three men in blue coats around him, all of them strong and powerful, with bright eyes and unkind faces, and their brains were stuck.
Then someone came and grabbed him.
Someone else reached on his back and tried to remove the snow knife from his back.
As soon as the man's hand touched the knife, the little carpenter moved almost subconsciously, avoiding the man's hand, and also broke free from the control of the person in front of him, and the other party also reacted and shouted: "This man has a knife." ”
As soon as these words came out, several people next to them suddenly became nervous, and some even pulled out daggers.
Not far away, several people came around.
At this time, the little carpenter realized that these guys were not outsiders, but the backbone of the Yucheng Robe Brother Association from everywhere.
The reason why they are here to patrol the night is to guard against the plots of the Devil-Faced Brotherhood.
Thinking of this, the little carpenter didn't dare to mess around, for fear that the gang would think that they would be the people of the Ghost Mask Robe Brotherhood, and when the time came, they would use swords and hurt people, and all the justifications would become ignored.
So he stepped back, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, I misunderstood, I'm not a bad person. ”
Seven or eight men from the Brotherhood surrounded the little carpenter, and then someone shouted, "Give me your name." ”
Seeing that these people were so nervous, the little carpenter knew that in this situation of rumors and soldiers, he couldn't be clever, so he could only say: "In Ganmo, it's ......."
Hiss......
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of inhaling cold air next to him, and then a person squeezed forward from behind, looked at him for a while, and hurriedly shouted: "It's Gan Ye, it's Gan Mo Gan, the successor of the Luban Sect, I saw it outside the lecture hall, don't do it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly eased a lot.
A leading middle-aged man stepped forward and said to the little carpenter: "Master Gan, we have been clumsy, and we have offended a lot, please forgive us." ”
The other party was polite, and the little carpenter was not the master who oppressed people with power, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I'm abrupt." ”
When the man heard this, he thought that the little carpenter's polite remark was the opposite, and said in tears: "Gan Ye, I'm really sorry, we, we ......."
When he spoke, he actually stuttered a little, and he didn't have the aggressive appearance just now.
Only then did the little carpenter know that the other party had misunderstood, and said, "Okay, I'm really fine, you guys go get busy, I'm going back too." ”
When the man heard this, he hurriedly took out a wooden card from his arms, handed it to the little carpenter, and said: "Gan Ye, tonight, the whole city is searched, and no one needs to be checked, and during the special period, the little brother has no way - this wooden card is one of the several passes under my authority, on the way, regardless of whether you meet our brothers in the robe, or the police, or the army, you can pass with this card......"
The little carpenter took it and arched his hand: "Thank you." ”
The man finished giving the pass, turned around and waved, and led the people away, and the little carpenter, seeing the atmosphere of slaughter around him, did not think much about it, and walked towards the hotel.
On the way back, the night in Yucheng, which was originally quite lively, became a little bleak at the moment.
On the main road, except for the Yucheng robe brothers wearing blue coats and black cloth shoes, and a small number of uniformed patrols, there were almost no other people to see, and there was a kind of depression of "the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings".
The little carpenter was checked several times, but fortunately there was the wooden card pass, so he was not troubled.
When he returned to the hotel, he found two soldiers standing at the door, guarding them with loaded guns.
Obviously, the military and political circles are also more worried about the security of Yucheng, and key units like this have to send people to guard them.
The little carpenter was a resident here, so he naturally came in easily, and then he suddenly remembered one thing, that is, Gu Baiguo's disappearance, can you go to Brother Yucheng to help with this?
In fact, even if Cheng Wuye has just become a leader, his authority is amazing.
This huge Yucheng, it is completely a needle in a haystack to ask Gan Mo to find someone, but if he asks Brother Yucheng to pick the head, it may not be so difficult, right?
It's just that, not to mention whether Brother Yucheng can find it, if he finds Cheng Wuye this time, will the entanglement be even deeper?
And if that's the case, how should he deal with himself?
The little carpenter was in a daze, holding the tiger skin fat cat, and returned to the room in a daze, glanced at Jiang Lao Er who was lying on the bed, said hello, and prepared to go back to the living room to stay, but he felt that something was wrong.
What's the soup bowl on the top of the bedside cabinet?
The little carpenter walked quickly to the bedside, picked up the porcelain bowl with a little soup left, and asked Jiang Lao Er excitedly: "Where did this medicine come from?" ”
Jiang Lao Er glanced at him inexplicably and said Baiguo.
The little carpenter was very excited: "Ginkgo is back?" Where is she? ”
He looked left and right, but didn't find that there was anyone in the room, and Jiang Lao Er said lazily: "She came to deliver the medicine, stayed for a long time, and didn't wait for you, and was escorted home by her uncle." ”
Uncle...... Family?
When the little carpenter heard the word "return", his nervousness suddenly increased, but he chewed the whole sentence in his mouth, but he felt a moment of astonishment.
Wait, what's the situation, why did an uncle suddenly appear?
The situation that Jiang Lao Er said was completely different from all the little carpenter's previous guesses, the person who had a dispute with Gu Baiguo was actually not a ghost-faced robe brother, or another murderer, but her uncle?
Her uncle?
The more the little carpenter thought about it, the more ridiculous it became, and he felt that all his previous worries and fears had fallen on the dog's belly.
Thinking back carefully, this Gu Baiguo is simply a little devil, she lied to herself at the beginning, saying that she was "abused" in her uncle's house, and her aunt beat and scolded her, this is probably a lie, right?
She didn't run away from her uncle's house, she came to Yucheng to wander, she was already in Yucheng, but when she heard about herself, she came to take a look.
As for the rest of the matter, it was an accident.
He is a dignified man, but he deceived a little girl, which is ridiculous when you think about it.
The little carpenter's mind turned over the river, and Jiang Lao Er said: "Originally, Bai Guo was going to stay here, but her uncle didn't agree, afraid that she would run away from home again, Bai Guo had no choice but to leave an address, let you go to her uncle's house tomorrow morning to pick up the medicine, and she will help boil the ......."
After saying that, he handed a note up, and the little carpenter took it, glanced at it, nodded, and said Okay, I know.
He returned to the living room sofa, clutched the note tightly, and said silently in his heart: "You little ghost, wait for me to find you tomorrow, see if I let you look good......"
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, after the little carpenter got up and washed, he called for breakfast, and after eating with the wounded Jiang Laoer, he went out with the tiger skin fat cat and looked for it according to the address on the note.
The place was by the river near Hongya Cave, and the little carpenter spent some time on the way there, and when he arrived at the old street near the river, the sun was already high.
This is an old neighborhood, and it is the kind of poor area, with high and low wooden houses and shacks in a disorderly manner, the road is full of sewage, mud, and animal feces can be stepped on if you are not careful, chickens, ducks, dogs, and even hot people, so that people have to be careful when walking.
And the streets are even more lively, with dirty old people sitting at the door, and mud monkey-like children running all over the ground.
There were even children who took a small wooden stick and poked dog poop there......
Everything was so lively and interesting, and the little carpenter probed one by one, and finally came to a small courtyard about ten feet from the street, which was quite neat.
He knocked on the somewhat swaying door, coughed his throat, and then shouted, "Excuse me, is this Wu Xuesong's house?" ”
The little carpenter shouted twice, and out of the house came a strong man shirtless and in a leather apron, glared at him, and said, "Which one are you looking for?" ”
The little carpenter glanced at the bloody sharp knife in the strong man's hand and said, "My name is Gan Mo, and I came to find Gu Baiguo." ”
The strong man's eyes widened, and he shouted, "You are the Gan Mo who kidnapped my niece?" ”
As he spoke, he walked over with a bloody knife.
