Chapter 28: No Evil

The East City is more prosperous than the West City, and the people on the streets don't seem to be as nervous as the West City. Bai Shuqin and Du Zijun inquired about Helan at every house on the street, but there was no news until lunchtime.

Bai Shuqin and Du Zijun casually ordered two bowls of noodles at a street stall, and diagonally opposite the noodle stall was a restaurant named Linxian Lou, and most of the people who came in and out were dressed gorgeously.

There was only one table on the left hand side of the entrance door of the Linxian Building Hall, and the man in the middle was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a moon-white shirt, a jade crown on his head, and a long sword at his waist. The man has a pair of peach blossom eyes, and his lips are red without dots, which is three points more charming than a woman.

Bai Shuqin looked up and saw that the man was staring at him, so he naturally replied. The man hooked the corners of his mouth at her, and two words "bewitching" immediately appeared in Bai Shuqin's mind.

Du Zijun noticed Bai Shuqin's strange appearance, and as she saw the man with her gaze, she turned to look at Bai Shuqin again, "Sister Bai, do you know?" ”

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble outside, Bai Shuqin asked Du Zijun to call her Sister Bai. Bai Shuqin retracted his gaze, picked up the noodles with chopsticks, and said lightly: "I don't know!" ”

Du Zijun looked back at the man again, the man was still looking at them, he touched the corner of Bai Shuqin's clothes, "Sister Bai, he's still looking at you!" That man must be quite powerful, why don't you go over and ask, maybe you can help us find your mother's home! ”

"This person is not easy to provoke, don't look at him, eat noodles!" Bai Shuqin has always been on guard, and this man's expression made her feel very uncomfortable, as if she was her prey.

Du Zijun felt that he was smiling kindly, not like a bad person, but he didn't dare not listen to Bai Shuqin's words, and immediately lowered his head and ate the noodles in the bowl.

After eating, the two were ready to continue asking. When passing by the Linxian Tower, the man was eating, Du Zijun looked at Bai Shuqin, and didn't know if he wanted to enter the Linxian Tower to ask.

Bai Shuqin swept around the inside, skimmed it directly, and walked to the next one. Du Zijun hurriedly followed and asked, "Sister Bai, why don't you go in?" ”

Bai Shuqin didn't look back, "There's a wolf inside, do you want to go in and send him to death?" ”

No matter how Du Zijun thinks that person doesn't look like a wolf, could it be that Bai Shuqin is thinking too much. Bai Shuqin quickened his pace and whispered to him, "You look back and look ten meters behind, we are being followed!" ”

Du Zijun immediately turned around, looked around and didn't find anything abnormal, and when he was about to ask, the corner of his eye swept over the side of the road and there was a person standing on the side of the road, it was the person who was sitting next to the man in Linxian Tower just now. "Sister Bai, there are really people. What do we do now? ”

Bai Shuqin sneered, she didn't know where this group of people were when she was playing tracking. "Follow me!"

That person always kept a distance of ten meters from Bai Shuqin, and when he saw Bai Shuqin speeding up, he immediately followed. Bai Shuqin walked fast for a while and stopped for a while, and after coming down a few times, he disrupted the man's pace, and when he stopped again for fear of being discovered by Bai Shuqin, he looked up and found that Bai Shuqin's shadow was gone.

He searched around the crowd to make sure that he had indeed lost it, and turned around and walked in the direction of Linxian Tower.

The man returned to Linxian Tower, and the man had already eaten lunch. He walked over and sat next to the man, and whispered to the man, "Young master, my subordinates have lost it." ”

The man seemed to have expected it, and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, we'll meet again." ”

Du Zijun didn't see the person when he turned around, and hurriedly said to Bai Shuqin: "Sister Bai, that person is gone." ”

Bai Shuqin slowed down at this time, she didn't look back, but said to Du Zijun: "In the future, if you see people with orchid tattoos on the tiger's mouth on their right hand, stay away, these people are afraid of what kind of organization." ”

Du Zijun didn't notice any characteristics of these people, even if Bai Shuqin reminded him, he was still thinking about whether those people had orchid tattoos on their hands just now, but he couldn't think of anything, he couldn't help but admire Bai Shuqin's observation.

Bai Shuqin only felt a chill behind her back now, what was the situation in Jiangzhou now, everything from yesterday to now made her feel uneasy. And she could feel that there were still people around her who were secretly staring at her, but they had been following since the capital, and most of them were Zhuo Jinxuan's subordinates.

The search for Helan's family by asking questions alone was slow and ineffective. Bai Shuqin found a teahouse and sat down, and instructed Du Zijun: "Go and gather all the beggars on this street!" ”

Although Du Zijun didn't know Bai Shuqin's intention to do this, as long as she told him, he would do it!

An hour later, a hundred and ten beggars gathered outside the teahouse. Du Zijun was so tired that he ran into the teahouse, and said to Bai Shuqin without taking a sip of tea: "Sister Bai, almost all the beggars here have been found, what do you think you should do now?" ”

Bai Shuqin took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, got up and walked outside the door, it should be enough to have these people.

A group of beggars, old and young, asked each other what was going on. They all came here after hearing Du Zijun say that there was food here.

Bai Shuqin took them to a remote corner and shouted to them: "I called everyone here today in the hope that you can help me find someone's family Twenty years ago, there was a man named Helan who went to the capital!" ”

The beggars couldn't help but shush when they heard it, they were not interested in finding someone, and now it was most practical to find some scraps to fill their stomachs.

Du Zijun saw Bai Shuqin's expression, and immediately stood up and shouted: "I won't let everyone help for free, now I will give thirty yuan per person every day, who can find it, and give ten taels of silver to thank you!" ”

The beggars boiled all at once, and thirty yuan could give them food for at least three days, let alone ten taels of silver, and of course they were willing to do this work.

Du Zijun took out three hangs of money from his bag and asked the beggars to line up and give them to them one by one. The beggars received the money and agreed with Bai Shuqin and them to come here tomorrow to report the situation.

Bai Shuqin didn't give Du Zijun much money just now, these three hanging money were all saved by Du Zijun's own hard work, just now on the way, he suddenly understood Bai Shuqin's intentions, and immediately went to change the change.

After the beggar left, Bai Shuqin took out fifty taels of silver from the money bag and handed it to Du Zijun: "I've worked hard for you these past few days!" ”

Du Zijun hurriedly excused himself: "Sister Bai, you have given me a lot of money before, you don't need to give it to me anymore." ”

Bai Shuqin stuffed the money into Du Zijun's hand, "When you go out, there are a lot of places to spend money, you can use this money if you take it." ”

Du Zijun smiled embarrassedly and put the money into the money bag in his arms. He was afraid that the money bag would be stolen by thieves, so he kept it in his arms all the time.

Before the sun set, Bai Shuqin and Du Zijun had just entered the inn where they were staying, and Li Wu immediately closed the door. After last night's incident, Bai Shuqin was no longer surprised.

There were dishes on the table, and the people of the inn sat around the long table. Zhou Yunxia got up and said to Bai Shuqin: "Girl, if you don't dislike it, let's eat together." ”

Bai Shuqin and Du Zijun had already eaten outside, and Bai Shuqin was afraid that the food he brought to Beizhu would be cold, so he asked Du Zijun to go upstairs first.

Bai Shuqin refused with a smile, and then asked Zhou Yunxia: "Sister Zhou, what did Lang Zhong, who gave Beizhu an injury today, say?" Is the money I gave enough? ”

This morning, Bai Shuqin gave Zhou Yunxia two taels of silver, and it only cost one tael to find Lang Zhong, she took out the remaining one or two taels of silver from her waist and handed it to Bai Shuqin: "Lang Zhong said that the little girl's leg was broken, and she was fixed with a wooden plank, and she was prescribed medicine, and it cost a total of one or two silver." The rest of this one or two, to you. ”

Bai Shuqin shook his head: "I will ask you to take care of it in the future, just keep the money, you don't need to look for it." ”

During this period of time, the inn had almost no income, but the family still had to live, so Zhou Yunxia accepted it after some resignation.

Seeing that Bai Shuqin was about to go upstairs, Li Wu's mother-in-law, Li Shi, called out to her: "Little girl, I heard that you are inquiring about the family surnamed He, right?" ”

The Li family had passed the sixtieth birthday, and Bai Shuqin felt that she might know something, so he stopped and turned to nod to her: "Yes, I am looking for my mother's family Helan." ”

Li Shi only felt a little familiar when he heard Helan, but he couldn't remember the specifics. She frowned, her forehead, which had been full of wrinkles, was now twisted together. After thinking about it for a while, Li still didn't think about it, and shook his head at Bai Shuqin embarrassedly.

Bai Shuqin smiled at her in disappointment, and was about to turn around and go upstairs, when Li Shi spoke slowly: "More than twenty years ago, there was a fisherman named He Liangchen on the seaside, he was the most powerful in the whole Jiangzhou, but unfortunately he was killed by pirates when he went to sea in the end. ”

Although Bai Shuqin didn't know his grandfather's name, when he heard Li say this, he felt that He Liangchen was her grandfather nine times out of ten. She walked up to Lee, "After that, do you know where his family went?" ”

Li was full of regret for He Liangchen's experience, and shook his head sadly: "I only know that I moved away from the seaside, and no one knows what happened later." ”

The clue that was finally obtained was broken again, Bai Shuqin sighed helplessly, thanked the Li family, and turned to go upstairs.

Kitazhu was lying on the bed, his right leg fixed with a wooden plank wrapped in a thick white cloth. The innkeeper also made her a simple crutch, and she was able to get out of bed and eat with it.

In front of Helan's bone box is Du Zijun's new incense, and the whole room is filled with a faint smell of incense and candles, which makes people feel at ease when they smell it. Bai Shuqin also put on incense, hoping that his mother would bless him to find a home tomorrow.

There was another commotion outside at night, Bai Shuqin slept lightly, and it was easy to be woken up, but she was really in no mood to care about things outside. It wasn't long before the baby's cry came from outside, and in the quiet of the night, it was particularly harsh.

The three people in the room were all woken up, and Du Zijun was the first to hold back, and sat up from the floor: "Third Imperial Princess, should we go and have a look?" ”

"The child is just crying, what are you looking at?" Bai Shuqin said and pulled the quilt to cover his entire head, and he wouldn't be annoyed if he didn't listen.

The baby's cry grew louder and louder, vaguely mixed with the man's rough voice. Du Zijun got up and leaned on the window to look out, only to see torches gathered in the distance, and the baby's cry came from there.

"Third Imperial Princess, those pirates are going to rob the child!" Du Zijun shouted Bai Shuqin anxiously.

Bai Shuqin sighed deeply, she was not surprised that the pirates did everything evil to rob the child, she just didn't want to care.

Beizhu lightly touched Bai Shuqin and asked her, "Sister, what are pirates doing robbing children?" ”

Bai Shuqin sat up from the bed helplessly, grabbed his hair with his hands, and said angrily: "Cultivate into a little pirate or kill and eat!" ”

When the two of them heard her words, they both gasped in fright, and then they begged Bai Shuqin to save the little baby.

Bai Shuqin got out of bed irritably, put on his coat, why is it so difficult to get a good night's sleep at night! These pirates had to push her limits, and they couldn't teach them a lesson.

Bai Shuqin found a black cloth from the room as a mask, Du Zijun also wanted to follow, Bai Shuqin glanced at Beizhu on the bed.

Beizhu saw that she was worried about her, and hurriedly said, "Sister, go ahead, I'm fine." ”

Bai Shuqin found another piece of black cloth and threw it to Du Zijun, "Let's go!" ”

Du Zijun took the black cloth and immediately covered his face. Going out of the downstairs was too conspicuous, so the two of them went out of the window and jumped onto the roof.
