Chapter 52: The Sheep Enters the Tiger's Mouth

The building was not far away, and after the two of them quickened their pace, they arrived in a short time.

As Jia Qian said, it is in a ditch on the side of the road, adjacent to a rape field, the scenery is quiet and ingenious.

It was also noon, Dongfang Shiming and Jia Qian went to prepare for dinner first, and then discussed with the owner about the night.

The shop is a quiet wood-paneled house, and it is very cool and comfortable when you enter. At such a time when there are few travelers, even at noon, the restaurant usually has no customers, so it is not surprising that the two of them entered the restaurant and found it empty.

Hearing someone enter the store, a man quickly turned out from the back of the store, looking at the shopkeeper who was dressed as picking up customers.

Dongfang Shiming and Jia Qian casually found a table and sat down, and the man came over and asked them what dishes they ordered.

"Fried rice, and then whatever you want, preferably meat. I'm dying of hunger. Jia Qian said as he took out the money from his waist pocket, took out a small piece of shiny silver, and handed it to the man, "These should be enough, right?"

The man took the silver and weighed it slightly, nodding his head in confirmation.

Jia Qian turned back and asked Dongfang Shiming: "Brother Xian, do you want anything?" ”

Dongfang Shiming had been stunned just now, and when he heard Jia Qian calling himself, he came back to his senses: "Oh, I don't need it, those are enough." ”

Jia Qian grinned at the man with a smile and said a few words of thanks. The man said very little, and when he saw that the two of them had no other requests, he took the silver and went to the back hall.

Jia Qian happily held his cheeks, his stomach had been screaming for a long time.

However, Dongfang Shiming was not so happy, his eyes kept looking at the shopkeeper, and his eyes gradually became unpredictable.

What he had been staring at was the forehead of the little two. The light color that is different from the rest of the face is almost like something that has wrapped the forehead before, which makes people suspicious.

The more Dongfang Shiming thought about it, the more cautious he became in his heart. He carefully observed every nook and cranny of the room, his gaze sharpening like that of a falcon.

The moment he looked around at the checkout table, his eyes caught a rather strange hint of information. On the corner of the table over there, there seemed to be some red paint marks, but they were not very similar.

And if it is human blood, it seems to be more similar.

Dongfang Shiming glanced at Jia Qian again. Jia Qian didn't notice anything unusual at all, his chin rested on his propped wrist, and he waited quietly for the meal to be served. Dongfang Shiming frowned, thinking that Jia Qian might not be too careless.

But he had not yet found conclusive evidence that this must be a trap, and he was undecided.

At this moment, the shopkeeper turned back from the back kitchen, holding a white porcelain bowl in one hand, and inside was steaming fried rice.

Dongfang Shiming pretended to be in a daze, but in fact, he looked the shopkeeper up and down from the corner of his eye, trying to see any flaws in him.

With two crisp "clicks", the shopkeeper put down their fried rice, turned around and walked back.

Finally, at this moment of turning around, Dongfang Shiming keenly noticed that a black bandana cloth was revealed in the pocket of his trouser waistband!

Really. Dongfang Shiming confirmed the guess in his heart, but tensed his nerves even more. He saw Jia Qian on the other side of the table picking up the rice bowl and about to start, he hurriedly raised his hand quickly and pressed the arm of Jia Qian holding the rice bowl.

"How ......" Jia Qian was held down by Dongfang Shiming's arm, and just as he was about to ask, he saw Dongfang Shiming stretch out his index finger and make a silent gesture to him.

He hurriedly shut up and saw what Dongfang Shiming wanted to express.

Dongfang Shiming poured a few drops of water from the teapot on the side and put them on the table, wiped the water stains on the table and wrote:

"Wicked, trap, go. ”

Jia Qian read it word by word, and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

Dongfang Shiming saw that he already understood, and raised his sleeve to wipe the handwriting on the table.

At this time, the shopkeeper walked out again, holding two plates of stir-fried vegetables. The two pretended to be nothing, took the dishes and put them on the table, and the shopkeeper immediately turned around and went back, and there were only the two of them left in the store.

Dongfang Shiming saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and told Jia Qian not to make a sound, and prepared to run away.

The two carefully removed their seats, tiptoed out of the door, and managed to sneak out of the restaurant.

After walking a distance of one or twenty paces, the two of them immediately began to run wildly. Dongfang Shiming saw that the road was too empty, so he dragged Jia Qian and fled to the path in the mountains.

The two of them had enough strength, and Dongfang Shiming helped Jia Qian hold the cage, and ran all the way out of breath, and kept running out of breath.

At this time, the dense and quiet jungle loses its sense of beauty, and although it is inaccessible, it is also a good place for ambushes. The two of them really ran until they collapsed and were weak, so they slowly stopped and walked to the front.

"How...... What's going on?"

Only then was Jia Qian able to spare a little strength to ask Dongfang Shiming. Although he was panicked the whole time, he now also wanted to know what happened.

Dongfang Shiming briefly explained to him the clues there. In the end, he made his own inference: "It seems that they didn't understand your ability to eliminate evil scholars, so they thought of using sweat pills as a safer means. By the time we had finished the drugged meal, the toxicity set in, and we had to be caught. ”

"This, this, this, it's terrible......" Jia Qian rubbed his chest over and over again, recalling the situation when he almost fell into the tiger's mouth just now, and he was still a little shocked.

"Pity the original shopkeeper, I'm afraid he has been brutally killed......" Dongfang Shiming looked up at the leaves in the forest and sighed faintly.

"If you are going to die, don't be sad for them!"

Suddenly, there was a bell-like shout not far away. This was followed by a hurried and chaotic sound of footsteps, the rustling of which drew closer and closer to them.

Dongfang Shiming suddenly raised his vigilance, and Jia Qian was already so frightened that his legs and stomach trembled.

Soon, Dongfang Shiming saw the figure of the comer. He clenched his cuffs and opened his body slightly, assuming a posture of preparing to meet the enemy.

The pursuer bypassed the last thick trunk and came to the two men.

"Three...... The three of them ......" Jia Qian shrank behind Dongfang Shiming, shivering tremblingly.

The man at the head is the shopkeeper they just had. By this time, his black turban had been re-tied, and the muscles on his body were knotted like a cow. The two people who followed behind him were also extremely strong, and the three of them coldly looked at the two people in front of them.

At this time, only listen to their boss speak first: "...... You two, who are the scholars who eradicate evil? ”

When Jia Qian heard this, he was immediately discouraged. He pursed his lips and was about to respond, when he suddenly heard Dongfang Shiming in front of him reply lightly:

"It's me. ”
