Chapter 13: Passing by Danger
As soon as he entered the city, Luo Fengyu felt the tension of the atmosphere, and from time to time he could see a samurai with a long sword hanging from his waist and a double sword on his back.
But looking at the people on the street, it seems that they have not been affected much.
The girl in the attic still waved a small handkerchief at the passers-by and laughed, and the restaurant was still full of friends and chattering.
These people are too calm!
Luo Fengyu's face was full of surprise.
Aren't they scared at all?
Or, has it long been numb?
"Let's go—" Luo Linyue frowned slightly, and couldn't help urging.
Luo Fengyu came back to his senses at this time, and made up his mind to leave the city as soon as possible after buying things.
When chaos came, she couldn't be as calm as they did.
With the memory of the original owner, the two came to the grocery store where Luo Ruheng used to buy.
The grocery store is on a nondescript back street, with a peeled plaque on the dilapidated lintel that reads: "Early Noon."
It really doesn't look like a business name.
Luo Fengyu complained in his heart, and then raised his feet and walked in.
The shopkeeper, a thin and kind old man, looked up sharply at the commotion, and glanced at her quickly, with a smile on his face.
Apparently recognized her.
Luo Fengyu also remembered that his name was "Fu Ye", but as for whether it was his real name, he didn't know.
While continuing to bury his head in sorting out the goods on the shelves, he greeted her cordially, and asked casually, "What about your father, why didn't he come?" ”
Luo Fengyu was about to tell the truth, so Luo Linyue, who came in later, said: "Daddy, his legs and feet are inconvenient, I will do this in the future." ”
Fu Ye was a little surprised, unconsciously stopped what he was doing, looked him up and down, and then turned his head to look at Luo Fengyu, showing doubts.
Luo Fengyu had to smile and nodded, "This is my brother, called Ah Yue." In the future, I think he will come more often. ”
Fu Ye said "oh", his eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help asking, "Then your father's legs are okay, right?" When will it be good? ”
Luo Fengyu actually didn't want to lie.
Besides, what's there to lie about?
She really didn't bother to make up a story about such a trivial matter.
Luo Linyue made it up very energetically, intercepted her words and said, "I guess his leg won't get better..." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for the shopkeeper to reply, and pulled Luo Fengyu away.
When he got outside, Luo Fengyu shook him off with some annoyance, "Why do you want to lie?" ”
"Then why is he asking?" Luo Linyue replied to her with confidence.
Luo Fengyu: "People are caring and kind, do you understand?" ”
Luo Linyue glanced at her, "How do you know that he is kind?" ”
Luo Fengyu: ......
She was a little speechless for a while, and she had to admit in her heart: there is nothing wrong with this kid's words.
She remembered that she had been here a few times with her cheap daddy, and most of the everything she needed in the valley was bought from this store. But it seems that every time before leaving, the cheap daddy will break her away and talk to the shopkeeper alone for a while, and I don't know what to say.
At this moment, she suddenly thought: Cheap Daddy was able to take that group of people to live in peace in Peach Blossom Valley for many years, and it may not be all his credit, but also other foreign aid.
Perhaps, this store is one of his foreign aids.
Luo Linyue, this kid is likely to have been suspicious for a long time, so he lied and tried him.
"It's just to buy something, and it's annoying to be asked by him." Xu was to dispel her doubts, Luo Linyue muttered to himself again.
Luo Fengyu also diverted and said, "Then where are we going now?" ”
Luo Linyue raised an eyebrow at her, "Take you around." ”
Luo Fengyu: ......
Why did she think this kid was weird?
It's rare to go back to the city, so she said that she should have a good stroll, but unfortunately she was still worried about the words she heard in the tea shed outside the city, and there was a shadow in her heart, how could she have the heart to go shopping, so she said: "I'm too tired, I don't want to shop, let's go back to the store and wait, let's leave after it's done." ”
But at this moment, I suddenly heard a noisy cry from the street, "Please uncles, do well!" Leave us alone..."
"Uncle Hero, spare your life! Spare your life..."
Luo Fengyu was shocked.
Luo Linyue also frowned slightly, and couldn't help but look over there.
I heard a man's voice scolding angrily: "It's useless to beg us! Request! Go and beg the Emperor! Ask the Queen Mother! ”
"Villains are cheap! Those nobles won't care if we live or die, and it's useless to arrest us! Another man's voice said stiffly.
"Humph! Is it useful? How do you know if you don't try? ”
Dare to love is arresting people!
Luo Fengyu's face changed greatly.
She probably understood that someone was going to take them hostage, and then thought of what she had heard and seen before. Therefore, it is very likely that the dog legs of the Ying family are arresting people and want to take more hostages in hand in order to negotiate with the people sent by the imperial court.
"Go, hide!" Luo Fengyu said.
Luo Linyue didn't say anything, just pulled her to quickly hide in a small corner, and then took the basket cart next to her to block it.
As soon as the two of them had finished hiding, they saw a group of samurai driving a column of people whose hands and feet were tied and strung with ropes into sugar gourd strings to this side of the street.
Another samurai fiercely broke into the houses on the side, and many people were pulled out from it one after another, and they were tied and skewered into sugar gourds and decorated behind them.
The number of people making sugar gourd skewers is increasing.
The miserable voice of crying father and mother sounded all the way.
Luo Fengyu saw it so really, her little face turned pale with fright, and she didn't dare to come out, and it was estimated that her back was already wet with cold sweat.
She had to hold Luo Linyue's arm tightly to relieve her fear and fear from body to heart.
Luo Linyue's face was tense, and it was obvious that he was also very nervous in his heart.
As if sensing the fear of the people around him, he quietly raised his other arm, hugged Luo Fengyu in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "With me, don't be afraid." ”
Luo Fengyu raised his eyes and looked at him in shock.
The young man is still the same young man, but his voice just now is gentle and powerful, and he is like two people.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and it was Luo Linyue who looked away first and looked at the two columns that were gradually moving away.
It wasn't until they were sure they were far away that the two of them cautiously came out of the corner.
Luo Fengyu let out a long sigh.
Although she sympathized with the people who had been taken away, she knew that she could not save them herself.
This is also the first time since she wore the book that she was really in danger.
If he hadn't hid quickly just now, I'm afraid that he would have become an inconspicuous sugar gourd among many sugar gourd strings, just like those people.
Dare to let his dog's legs catch people casually in broad daylight, this Ying family is too bold.
Holding Hu County's order, she understands, is to blackmail the imperial court to demand power, which belongs to the official fight, but you can't use the people as bargaining chips.
The Ying family is too despicable!
Luo Fengyu scolded resentfully in his heart, and then thought of the grocery store at noon, that Fu Ye......
