Chapter 12 Doubts abound
When the city was closed, it was actually not too late, but Tianyu Town has always been sunset, and at this point, there are few people walking around the streets.
The mood is happy, and the pace of the closure of the city is also extremely brisk, from home to the county yakou, but a cup of tea, after two turns, I saw that the red lantern at the entrance of the yamen could be vaguely seen in front of me, and the closure felt that the placket was pulled from behind.
He turned around, and what grabbed him was a rickety old woman, whose long coarse cloth dress of cotton and linen covered her figure, and only the curved spine could be seen, which had been hunched into a small hill.
The old woman was born short, and this bend was almost only to the waist of the closed city, and her face could not be seen, and the closed city heard her half-dumb voice, tearing and squeezing out of her throat, she asked, "Young man, I lost my things, can you help me find them?"
The county lord was still waiting, and he thought that since he was going to the yamen in front of him, he might as well let the official at night take her, he still had something to do, but the old woman seemed to see his hesitation, and the strength in his hand suddenly came up, "Young man, you can do it......"
I don't know what's wrong with her voice, the voice sounds whimpering, not like a human voice, but like a sharp cry of fingernails cutting through metal, Lockdown felt that his hairs were about to stand on end, so he could only bend down and ask, "Then do you remember where you lost it?"
As she got closer, she suddenly smelled a strange smell on her body, fishy, fishy, and like aquatic plants.
"Right in front, you can go with me. ”
"Good. Feng Cheng straightened up, his heart was still clear, but his feet were in a trance, and he had no concept of time, so he shook the streets with his wife, and somehow, he actually reached the moat.
"Well, that's it, you can get it for me. The old woman took the cane and walked forward, and she didn't refute the closure of the city, so Chaos followed the direction she said, asking as she walked, "By the way, mother-in-law, what did you lose?"
"Me?" the old woman chuckled suddenly, "I've lost my life!"
All of a sudden, the whole shadow rose up, the coarse cloth robe fell to the ground, but the city was closed but he didn't even have a chance to turn his head to look, he felt a sinking body, and the black shadow on the top pounced, and the sand and gravel at his feet seemed to have turned into a muddy swamp, and he couldn't breathe in his throat for a while.
At the last moment, the lockdown calmed down, and in a daze, it seemed that someone called him from the bridge, "Seal the head!
The voice grew from small to large, and the sound of the lockdown ignited hope, and after a full response, he came back to his senses, and there was no old woman in front of him, only half of his body immersed in water.
If the little beggar hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid that after a while, he would have disappeared.
Lockdown thought, this is the water monkey to take revenge.
Looking at the dark river now, the little beggar saw him standing there for a long time without moving, and dared to pounce down and drag him, "Seal the head! Go back quickly! Sister Xie has an accident!"
A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.
When Xie Yi went back from the lockdown, Xie Yi had already fainted, and the old shopkeeper Ning Hetang said that he was too frightened, and his emotions fluctuated too much, so it was no big deal, and it would be good to use a dose of concentrating medicine.
The little beggar couldn't tell what was going on. He said that Sister Xie seemed to be very excited suddenly, and he didn't even answer several calls, and then he cried so much that he fainted while crying.
Lockdown thought about it a few times, but he couldn't figure out anything from his words. After sending the old shopkeeper back with the two children, boiling the medicine and feeding it carefully, and keeping watch for half an hour, Xie Yi slowly woke up.
When she woke up and saw the lockdown, Xie Yi's eyes jumped, and she didn't hide it, she said, "Seal the head, I saw Mu Chu." ”
Lockdown couldn't figure out whether she was frightened or excited in her words, and quietly turned on the candlelight, "You read it wrong, I injured a water monkey two days ago, and he just came to take revenge." ”
That being said, the closure of the city is also a little suspicious, if it is really the water monkey revenge, he should not find Xie Yi's head, this time the two water monkeys, did he stab the monkey's nest?
Xie Yi's expression was also suspicious, and she was afraid that she would think too much, so she said, "Don't think about it, Mu Chu's body is in Yizhuang, and there is a special yacha to take care of it, so there will be no problem." ”
"Capture the head," Xie Yi called him in a deep voice, "Can I ask you for something?" I think...... Go to Yizhuang. ”
I don't know why, the closure of the city was a little bit by her words, and his heart suddenly became irritable, he paced back and forth in the house twice, and he felt that Xie Yi's begging appearance made him a little annoyed.
Not knowing what was wrong with him, he lifted his steps and walked out. Xie Yi was in a hurry, lifted the quilt and knelt down on the bed, he couldn't be ruthless whether to leave the city or not, sighed secretly, and had to say, "You go to sleep first, I'll take you there tomorrow morning." ”
Xie Yi lay down again, but Feng Cheng felt more and more annoyed in his heart, he wanted to go out to relax, but before he could stand up, he heard Xie Yi behind him call urgently, "Seal the head...... You ......".
After the first half of the sentence stopped for a long time and didn't say it, when she turned around from the lockdown, she saw that in the uncertain light and shadow, her long hair hanging down covered her eyes, and her heart moved, knowing that she was afraid.
took the saber from the wall and pressed it on the table, "You sleep, I'll stay here with you." ”
