Chapter XXXIV: Secret 3
"Yes, this has been around for a long time, and beggars are also a profession. The country of Yan is vast and sparsely populated, and many local courts can't take care of it. Unless it is a five-year vassal to pay tribute, the beggar will be temporarily settled in one place and return after a few months. At other times, there was no rejection of begging in the capital and surrounding towns, and many people were willing to help these poor people. ”
"Yes, this girl sees another level, begging for food is the existence of the rich for fun, and it is the appearance of the rich showing charity. It is also a release platform for family feuds. Okay, let's not discuss these things, let's just wait here, the person who comes is certain, but I don't know if it's friend or foe or a third person. Bai Yang said confidently, and then hid with Qian Guang.
"Help!" It's just that in less than a stick of incense, a cry for help in the direction leading to the county seat pierced the quiet moonlight. I saw a middle-aged woman running over covered in blood in the distance. A hundred and ten paces away, a man groped his way and stumbled after him.
"What's the situation, if you don't have good eyes, you can still kill people?" Qian Guang muttered.
"Shut up and save that woman." Poplar ordered to. He was a strange staggered step to meet the person chasing behind.
Qian Guang was slightly stunned and instantly understood Bai Yang's intentions, looked at the woman who had already run to the front, dressed in an ordinary panic, and hurriedly stopped. Check to see if the woman was stabbed with a sword from behind, and now there is blood gushing out of her chest, and it is obvious that her life is not long in coming. It's impossible to be hunted down for no reason, and you can always ask something. Qian Guang didn't bother, put the woman on the ground, and entered some true qi into her. When I looked up again, I saw that Poplar was already standing a dozen steps away from the man behind him. No one said anything.
The man's face was embarrassed, and he was not masked. Now his face was covered with ashes, black and mixed with unburned grass and wood chips. No wonder he chased and stumbled, it seems that the woman in front is also a ruthless stubble, and if there is kung fu, the man behind him will not be able to bargain.
Bai Yang looked at the man who was more than ten steps away and had a feeling that he had met, the man had eyes that were painful and tearful, and his vision was blurred, and he stirred his nose to sniff out a familiar smell, and the damn grass ash was mixed with herbs, which affected his sense of smell. The man tried hard to distinguish the taste in front of him, and scolded in his heart.
Bai Yang did not let go of the man's micro-expression, and sneered in his heart. The carving insect was just a small skill, and a cloud of smoke was spilled out of his hand, and the man opposite was at a loss.
"Sample, let you experience a thing that confuses police dogs thousands of years later. Does this smell good? Poplar sneered inwardly.
"You?" The man on the other side obviously couldn't see it, and just now he was still facing Poplar, and then he pointed in the other direction and said a word in surprise. Then he pulled his leg in that direction and ran. I don't know if to chase what or run for my life.
Qian Guang in the distance was also surprised, why did he scare away without doing anything?
The man who ran away was like a frightened bird at this time, and the smell just now was obviously familiar, but suddenly the whole smell was different He smelled the smell of death in that indescribable smell. It is more frightening than a sword resting on the neck and a sword against the chest. The smell is not deadly, but he predicts that the person on the other side is a terrible existence. If you don't run, you can only wait for death.
Poplar didn't chase after the man who ran away, and now she didn't want to get involved in anything, helping the King of Joy was pure curiosity. I also want to find a reason to test how much my ability has brought.
The woman is not dead yet, but she is not far from death.
"Eldest sister, do you still have the strength to speak?" Bai Yang asked, and a hand had already pushed her into a burst of cardiotonic medicine. Qian Guang didn't notice it under the cover of the night, but the woman who felt that she was dying suddenly had life.
"Are you from the capital?" The woman asked tentatively, completely unable to see that she was dying just now.
"yes, maybe not the kind of person you're expecting." Poplar replied succinctly.
"Godmother once said that as long as she didn't die violently in the wilderness, she asked me to tell the person who buried her a word." When the woman said this, her life was about to disappear in an instant.
"What?" Qian Guangguang asked loudly.
"Tell her slowly, eldest sister, do you know what your godmother does?" Poplar whispered softly as he touched the time.
"You know, the maidservant in the palace of the concubine, alas! Why is it bad, you have to seek wealth in that quagmire. The woman sighed weakly.
"She told you about the palace of the concubine?"
"You can't say it, if you say it, you'll die. The secret was eaten by the godmother. ”
"Eat, how to eat. Handwritten evidence? Qian Guang asked again.
"I don't know, Godmother only has this one sentence for me to convey. I, uh, I'm going to die, those people are so terrible, my godmother has lived in fear for more than ten years, and no one knows if she recognizes me. I also have a husband and a child. Godmother and I have kindness, even if I die, I will bring the words..."
The woman's voice grew quieter and quieter, and at last she kept repeating the phrase that the secret was eaten. Finally, with two teardrops hanging in his eyes, he exhaled his last breath, his eyes were so wide open, and the cloudy whites of his eyes stared at the sky, which could be described as dead.
"Eldest sister, your words will be brought to the person who buried your godmother word for word, and we will keep it a secret and will never implicate your relatives and children. Get on the road, your promise to your godmother will move the heavens and bless your loved ones. Let's hit the road, there's nothing to see about this place, close your eyes and go! Poplar said and closed the woman's eyes.
Qian Guang on the side looked at Bai Yang in disbelief, but he didn't expect Bai Girl to have this side. The killing is decisive and the medical skills are exquisite, and there is no girl's panic in the face of the person who dies in front of him, but the soul of the deceased can rest in peace. It's relieved to think about it again, I grew up in the begging heap, and I'm used to seeing life and death. In the face of strong enemies, it can also be handled calmly. If the white girl can assist the prince, why worry about the concubine's revenge. The courage of the prince and the wisdom of the white girl can be captured even if he picks up the dragon scales and picks the tiger's skin.
"What do you think, she's your relative. Let's go, you go back to the village and wait to go back with the prince, this girl will go first. I used to be a beggar, but now I am a businessman, and the court grievances have nothing to do with me, so I still go back to make my own dim sum for silver flowers. Bai Yang repeatedly thought about the words of the dead woman in his heart, urging Qian Guang to go back.
"White girl, what do you mean by that? How can I report back to the prince. ”
"Qian Guang, this is your lord's business, to be honest, this girl hasn't figured it out." Poplar said honestly, the man had disappeared into the night.
"What a strange pace, the kung fu of my own prince is perverted enough and unfathomable, and the white girl is even better!" Qian Guang sighed and went back to the village, and met his own people who returned to the capital on the way.
Poplar didn't actually leave. She followed behind Qian Guang and watched the hurried shadows of the master and servant of the King of Freedom in the night go straight to the capital, and then the people returned to the village. The old grandmother's yard had already puffed up a dirt bag, and the days of fear were finally over. Poplar silently bowed to the old grandmother who had kept her secret all her life, and sent her on the road. Then I went to the backyard to investigate.
The backyard is a little cleaner than the frontyard, a firewood room, in which a few dry branches and broken wood, and the traces of the old lady's body after her death, have been completely turned over. Obviously, it was the King of Freedom who did it, and in addition to the lack of flexibility in his actions, the King of Freedom is still shrewd.
Next to the firewood room is the latrine, which is a little cleaner than the firewood house, and perhaps the secret of being eaten is buried here.
Poplar turned around, the bucket was very clean, there was still feces in it, and behind the fenced house was a big pit, covered with a layer of dirt, and Poplar was not interested when he looked at it. Looking further back, there is a willow tree with small annual rings, and Poplar speculates that it is likely that it was planted by the old lady when she came here, to release the new life of the palace maid or to hold back the secret in her heart......
