Chapter 20: Life hangs by a thread
The next day, Song Shuyun deliberately went to Song Dacheng's blacksmith shop, and wandered around the street after reporting his safety. Chu Tianjue did not return to the capital, Qin Shaobai originally came to Feng County to help Chu Tianjue check clues, and naturally he would not leave at this moment.
"If you've had enough, we'll get down to business." Chu Tianjue said lightly, and Song Shuyun turned his head a little surprised: "Have you thought of a way?" ”
Chu Tianjue raised his eyebrows undeniably, and had no intention of explaining. Qin Shaobai always played with the folding fan, and he didn't say a word, Song Shuyun could only be confused and follow Chu Tianjue.
Chu Tianjue went straight to the county office, and all the officials respected him very much, and after a while, the county commander rushed over from the backyard, looking at Chu Tianjue's eyes was very different.
Chu Tianjue seemed to deliberately conceal his identity, and talked to the county order alone for a while, and after a while, he ordered: "Come on, go and post a notice." ”
The content of the notice was roughly to let a man in his thirties come to the county government office to register and make a register, and the reason used was that there were bandits who had fled.
Song Shuyun was very curious about Chu Tianjue's identity, and she couldn't help but think about it - what is Chu Tianjue, who can command the head of a county.
Chu Tianjue said something to the county order, and the people who heard the letter during the speech had already arrived, because there was another content on the notice, and all those who cooperated with the yamen would be rewarded with two taels of silver.
For ordinary people, two taels is already a lot, enough to do a lot of things, so the people rushed to the yamen, for fear that it would be too late and there would be no money to take.
The master said that the question was just a casual one, either asking a few people in the family, or hearing whether to marry a wife. Song Shuyun sat at the desk and listened to the questions of hundreds of people, and his head was too big to hear.
"Are you looking for someone?" The county commander came over curiously to ask, glanced at Song Shuyun, who was dozing off, and asked softly.
Chu Tianjue nodded lightly, reached out and knocked on Song Shuyun's head, who rubbed his head and looked at him with a flat mouth.
The county commander smiled and went to the side without disturbing, and the official was very embarrassed to say something to him, and after a while, a servant quietly left.
Song Shuyun yawned, he had already listened to more than 100 people's questions, and he was very sleepy, just when he was tired, a familiar voice drilled into his ears, Song Shuyun's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at the person who was registering.
Chu Tianjue knew that there was something wrong with this person when he saw her reaction, but he didn't rush to make a move, he needed to know the identity of the second person. And it is very coincidental that these two are brothers, and they line up one after the other.
"The person has been found, so it's none of my business." Song Shuyun was very sleepy, and asked Chu Tianjue with a yawn.
Chu Tianjue nodded slightly, and asked her to go back to the medical hall first, and then go to her to discuss the store after his business was done.
Song Shuyun didn't say anything, got up and walked out of the yamen, but when he was around the corner of the street, he was kidnapped with a sack.
Chu Tianjue and Qin Shaobai were about to take the registered addresses of the two to go over for questioning, but after they found the place, they found that it was not the two of them who lived, but another family.
Qin Shaobai asked again and again, this family didn't know any brothers at all, so he had no choice but to go back with Chu Tianjue.
"I knew that it was better to just go out and arrest people, and take care of what to do." Qin Shaobai felt that it was a pity, if he had just arrested someone directly, how could this situation occur.
Chu Tianjue frowned calmly, with a bit of calculation in his eyes: "Something is wrong, why did the two of them tell lies and leave a fake address?" Do you know what we're trying to do, or are you always so cautious? Aren't they afraid of the yamen to investigate? ”
"What do you mean?" Qin Shaobai's reaction was not as good as Chu Tianjue's, and he didn't quite understand what he meant. Chu Tianjue squinted his eyes as if he was thinking, and after a while, he walked quickly in a deep voice: "Go to the medical hall." ”
Although Qin Shaobai didn't know what he was going to do in the medical hall at this time, he still quickened his pace and followed. When the two arrived at the medical hall, Wang Lao was sitting in the clinic, and there was no Song Shuyun in the medical hall.
"Sister Yun hasn't been here?" Qin Shaobai understood the problem, and stayed at the door at noon, and responded: "Miss Song has never been here." ”
Chu Tianjue and Qin Shaobai glanced at each other, and secretly said in unison in their hearts-something happened.
Here, the two began to transfer people to find it, and Wang Lao also used his connections to find it, and there were many more people in the city who were on the road to inquire about Song Shuyun's news.
Chu Tianjue and Qin Shaobai were also looking for them on the street, and after looking for a while, Chu Tianjue suddenly reacted to something, and asked the accompanying person for the afternoon.
"Can there be lakes and ponds outside the county?" Chu Tianjue's face was very heavy, and after thinking about it in the afternoon, he said: "I remember that outside Feng County, there is only a pond on Maishan near Pingyang Village. ”
"Deep?"
"Deep, that pond was dug out by a large family in the vicinity in the early years, specializing in fish farming and selling fish, and it is much larger than the pond dug by the average family, and now no one has taken care of it for a long time, so there are still a lot of fish in it."
Chu Tianjue frowned, asked Qin Shaobai to buy two horses, and the two rode out of the city.
Song Shuyun opened her eyes in a daze, her mouth was stuffed with a thick cloth, she only knew that she was in a vegetable basket, and she was still a little swaying, she should be on the road.
She tried to struggle a few times, and the vegetable leaves above her head were arched out a little, and then she felt a slap on the top of her head, and a rough voice: "Be honest, don't move." ”
Song Shuyun didn't dare to move anymore, but she didn't want to sit still, but her hands and feet were tied, and she really couldn't think of a way to get out of the predicament.
"Brother, I don't think what he said will work, someone will definitely find out after sinking the pond."
"So what? Who would know we did it? ”
"That address is wrong, if the young master of the Chu family really came to look for us, he will definitely think of us after finding out that he can't find our girl and is missing."
Song Shuyun broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this, these two people actually wanted to kill her. But why? Chu Tianjue and Qin Shaobai had already seen their looks, even if they killed her, it would be useless.
Thinking of this, Song Shuyun began to struggle violently, and the people outside scolded a few times, and when they saw that she was still reacting violently, they pulled away all the dishes above her head.
Song Shuyun looked at him as if he had something to say, the two glanced at each other, and reached out to take out the cloth from Song Shuyun's mouth.
"If you kill me or not, I'll die, so why didn't you run for your life earlier?" Song Shuyun coughed hoarsely and said, one of the men glared and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
"Nonsense? Whether I die or not, Chu Tianjue knows the appearance of the two of you, the young man next to him, but he is a good painter, and he can naturally draw your appearance, so sooner or later he will find you. ”
"What you did at the beginning, Chu Tianjue already knew, he didn't want to kill you, he just wanted to find the truth. But will the people behind you let him know the truth? ”
Song Shuyun coughed violently after speaking, her throat was too dry.
"Brother, what this girl said is not unreasonable." The one who was driving the cart was obviously convinced, and Song Shuyun took the opportunity to continue: "Go find Chu Tianjue, maybe he can still save you, otherwise you will definitely die." ”
The two brothers hesitated for a moment, then stopped the cart. But just as he was stopping, a long arrow slashed through the air and grazed the face of a man.
Song Shuyun was frightened by the scene in front of him, but he still reacted quickly and said, "Keep rushing, you can't stop." ”
The younger brother who was driving the car could only grit his teeth and continue to catch up, Song Shuyun suppressed the fear in his heart and said, "I'm afraid you will die." ”
"No, if I kill you, there may be a way to live." The elder brother on the board car said this, Song Shuyun raised his eyes to look at him, and the fear in his eyes had betrayed him.
The cart did not enter Pingyang Village, but stopped halfway through, and was forcibly stopped, looking at the quiver on his back, Song Shuyun knew that this person was the one who had just shot an arrow.
"The plan has changed, don't go to the pond, give me people." The man was masked and couldn't see his face clearly, Song Shuyun was taken off the cart, and as soon as he walked to the masked man's side, he heard a scream behind him.
Song Shuyun subconsciously looked back and wanted to see what was going on, but his face was splashed with blood. The two brothers were wiped on their necks, and blood poured out, Song Shuyun had never seen such a scene, he only felt his stomach churning, and he turned around and vomited.
The masked man sneered at her in return, and when she had finished vomiting, he dragged her into the field next to her.
The masked man gave her a cold look, if he hadn't been able to throw her body on the road, he really didn't want to spend such effort, Song Shuyun was so frightened that he hid back.
"It's a pity." The masked man had to sigh, it was really rare for a child of such age to be born so exquisitely, Song Shuyun swallowed his saliva, subconsciously stepped back, his heel hit the hard stone wall, and he fell down without standing firmly.
Song Shuyun happened to be behind a well, because it was overgrown with weeds and it was not obvious, the masked man crouched at the mouth of the well and watched her struggle in the well, and saw that the stone walls around the well were smooth, so she was sure that she would not be able to climb up, so she turned around and left with a sneer.
Song Shuyun struggled in the water for a while, and only then did he stop after feeling that there was no movement around him, and coughed vigorously a few times while holding his chest, thinking about what to do next.
She held her breath when she just fell, she didn't choke on water, she just pretended to trick the masked man to leave, but her leg was hurt, and she only felt hot pain at this moment.
Song Shuyun soaked in the water and looked up at the wellhead, there are fields near here, and there must be farmers who come to turn over the soil and farm in the evening, and then she will find a way to ask for help.
It's just that she can't be sure how long this weak body can last in the water, especially since she still has injuries on her body. Song Shuyun fluttered twice in the water, and she really hated herself.
Just when she was annoyed that she was not in good health, she suddenly heard footsteps, and she hurriedly shouted at the top of her voice: "Help! ”
shouted a few times, the footsteps got closer and closer, Song Shuyun looked up at the wellhead with a smile, but when the wellhead was covered by a figure, she couldn't laugh.
