Chapter 172: Unknown Origin

trotted to his brother and held him in his arms.

The man gritted his teeth: "Where did you come from?" It's none of your business here, you don't have to be nosy! ”

"But if you see it, you have to take care of it!" Zhong Ling sneered, the last thing she could see in the army was that the people under her hands bullied the old, young, women and children, this person did this to the two and a half old children, it was really unconscionable.

The man scolded, and rushed over with his sword, and was forced to take a few steps back by the sword qi of the jasper sword an inch in front of Zhong Ling.

Looking at Zhong Ling's eyes again, there was a little more horror: "You ......"

Zhong Ling didn't look at him either, and looked sideways at the two little ghosts: What? Don't go yet! ”

Seeing this, the girl gritted her teeth and ran out with the little doll in her arms.

The big man also came back to his senses, and roared angrily to chase the two people back, but was stopped by the jasper sword in Zhong Ling's hand.

"I don't know what they did wrong, you have to kill them all?"

"Those two little rabbit cubs owe me five hundred taels of silver, and I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, otherwise you will ......"

"If you don't have any evidence, bring me a note!" Zhong Ling interrupted him, no matter what, he didn't believe that two and a half old children could owe as much as five hundred taels.

The man didn't talk nonsense, and really pulled out a bill from his sleeve.

"It's clearly written in black and white, five hundred taels of silver!" The man opened his mouth angrily, his eyes met Zhong Ling, and his arrogance weakened again.

Zhong Ling was a little impatient and said, "It's just five hundred taels of silver, it's worth it?" Here you go! ”

After that, I groped in my sleeve and was surprised to find that I seemed to have left my money bag when I went out, and I was shocked, but after a while, I had an idea, and the two little ghosts on the left and right were almost gone, and she took the opportunity to run away.

Just as he was about to put it into action, a pair of hands stretched out from behind him, with slender fingertips, holding a silver ticket of five hundred taels.

"Five hundred taels, get out!"

The man didn't expect to really get the five hundred taels, he was stunned for a while, and Shen Yichi said coldly: "Don't? ”

When the man heard this, he hurriedly took the silver ticket, remembering that he was injured by Zhong Ling, and was a little unwilling: "She just beat me, it always costs money to treat the disease and grab medicine, there are only five hundred taels here, and I don't even count the interest!" ”

"That being the case, then don't ask for the five hundred taels!" Zhong Ling said as he reached out to take the silver ticket out of his hand.

Shen Yichi stopped her, his eyes fell on the man, his eyes were sharp.

The man hurriedly ran out of the house, and disappeared in a moment.

Zhong Ling snorted coldly, came back to his senses and saw Shen Yichi, and was about to complain a few words, when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the grass and trees in the yard rustled.

The house had been abandoned for a long time, and even the stone steps were overgrown with weeds, and the weeds at the mouth of the well had grown to the height of a man, and now it looked as if someone was waving at them.

Zhong Lingtian was not afraid of the ground, but he was afraid of the words of ghosts and gods, and he was so frightened that he got behind Shen Yichi

Hands tugged at his cuffs.

Shen Yichi was angry and funny: "Now you know that you are afraid?" Sneaking out isn't it fast? ”

It was impossible to say the words of begging for mercy, Zhong Ling only looked at Shen Yichi pitifully, hoping that the other party could leave this ghost place with him earlier.

"Come up!"

Shen Yichi squatted down in front of her, Zhong Ling was stunned, and only then did she come to her senses, but at the moment of hesitation, another gust of wind blew, and she screamed miserably and climbed onto Shen Yichi's back.

Shen Yichi picked up the person and smiled lowly: "If I don't come, what do you want?" ”

"I ...... I've got my own way out of here! Zhong Lingzui said stiffly.

Shen Yichi carried her out of the mansion step by step, the long street outside the door was lonely, and he carried her on his back Wen Tun.

Leaving that terrifying place, Zhong Ling became confident again, and complained: "The five hundred taels of silver tickets were given to him when they were said to be given to him, who knows if the bill is fake?" How could two children owe so much silver? ”

Shen Yichi stopped: "Do you know who they are?" That's the people of Splash Ink Hall! ”

Xuanji Pavilion has raised a group of thugs outside, and the place where the thugs are cultivated is called Splash Ink Hall, but how can the people of Splash Ink Hall appear in Modu?

"Five hundred taels of this kind of trivial matter, naturally find a pusy bag to do, if you really meet the top master of Splashing Ink Hall tonight, you and I may not be able to get out of the whole body, Ling'er, you are too impulsive."

Zhong Ling was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "It seems that Modu is also uneasy. ”

"Will there be eggs under the nest? I'm afraid that if Xuanji Pavilion knows that you and I are here, and I come to the door, it will be troublesome. ”

"Can't wait any longer." Zhong Ling made up his mind, patted Shen Yichi's shoulder, and motioned for him to put himself down.

As soon as he stood still, a figure came out of the shadows, it was the two little ghosts just now.

Sure enough, as Zhong Ling expected, the man was extremely heavy, and the little doll was looking at her with her eyes open, and her eyes were full of moisture.

The girl, who was no more than eleven or twelve years old, knelt before her and kowtowed.

Zhong Ling hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Hurry up!" Pull someone to her feet and pat the dust off her clothes.

"I'll pay you back the money!" There was stubbornness in her eyes, and she was still a little wary of Zhong Ling, holding her brother firmly in her hands.

Although Zhong Ling was curious about how she owed the five hundred taels, there were more important things to do at the moment, so he waved his hand at her and said, "That's it, you take your brother and leave here as soon as possible, don't provoke those wicked people again." ”

Walking forward, the girl didn't make a sound, just hugged her brother and followed closely behind Zhong Ling, Zhong Ling took a step, and she also took a step.

Zhong Ling was a little helpless and stopped, and when the girl saw this, she also stopped, and Zhong Ling asked out loud, "What are you doing with me?" ”

"Give back your money!"

"Five hundred taels is not a small amount,

How do you pay it back? ”

"I have the strength and I can work!"

As if to verify this sentence, the little girl put down her brother, and after a few words of advice, she walked quickly to Zhong Ling, and landed her hands on the jasper sword hanging from her waist.

Wanting to take the sword into his hand, his face turned red but it was still to no avail, and he looked at Zhong Ling a little at a loss.

Zhong Ling looked at her thin little body and sighed slightly, this jasper sword was only afraid that it was heavier than her.

"You see, you can't be a sword boy for me with all your strength, I keep you and take care of your and your brother's food, and I don't have to pay back the five hundred taels of silver, you can take your brother away!"

As he spoke, the younger brother behind him staggered to the girl's side, timidly next to her, his eyes falling on Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling looked at the shocking injury on his face, and remembered that from Fang Cai to now, she had not heard the cry of this little doll, such a serious injury, an adult still doesn't know if he can bear it, this doll is really strong and distressing.

His heart softened for a while, and he was about to let go, when Shen Yichi stepped forward and looked down at the girl.

"You don't know where you came from, and you got into trouble with those people, following us will only cause us trouble, if you really want to repay us, stay away from us."

was about to leave with Zhong Ling, but the girl suddenly reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes, and her face was flushed.

"I can really work, I can do laundry and cooking." As he spoke, his eyes did not dare to look directly at the two of them, nor could he utter a word of prayer.

Zhong Ling looked up at Shen Yichi: "Why don't you let them stay?" If you're so thin, you can't eat much. ”

"Ling'er, the flourishing wood of Xuanji Pavilion is a lesson from the past." Shen Yichi's tone was quite indifferent.

Fanmu had been among the beggars before, and won their trust with his weak appearance, which caused Zhong Ling to almost die.

Zhong Ling was confused for a moment, but when he saw the two pairs of eyes in front of him, he was defeated again.

"They're so young, you can't bear to let them live on the streets?"

Shen Yi expected that this would be the end sooner or later, his girl was also decisive when she said it, but she was extremely kind.

"That's it, it's not impossible to stay, it's just ......"

"Just how?" Zhong Ling saw that there was room for maneuver in things, and his eyes lit up.

Shen Yichi said lightly: "It's just that you have to promise me one thing, in the future, you are not allowed to go to Chunhualou." ”

Zhong Ling secretly scolded him for being stingy, there were all women in the Spring Flower Building, why couldn't he go? If it's really all Rabbit Lord, it's not too late for him to ask for himself again.

I knew in my heart that this was not the time to offend him at this moment, so I nodded and agreed, she was not a gentleman, and she didn't know how to chase a horse.

Shen Yichi squatted down and said to the girl: "Go to the rouge shop opposite the Shijia salt shop and find a girl named Shule." ”

The girl hesitated for a moment, then picked up her brother and walked away.

The figure disappeared before his eyes

, Zhong Ling only remembered that he didn't seem to give the pair of sisters and brothers a token, and they were guarding outside the rouge shop, but it was dark!

Shen Yichi saw through her worries, and said lightly: "Shu Le is as nosy as you, she will not let those two children live on the streets!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he put his arm around Zhong Ling's waist and led her across the alley to the south.

"That's called helping others, helping others!" Zhong Ling retorted.

The two of them moved quickly, and after a short time, they came to the county mansion.

At that time, there seemed to be something wrong in the house, and it became a pot of porridge, looking at the group of guards holding torches under him, Zhong Ling couldn't help frowning: "What happened?" ”

"Go down and have a look!" Shen Yichi took her into the backyard, and as soon as she stood still, she heard two wails.

The closed door was banging desperately, and more and more guards rushed up against the door to prevent the people inside from escaping.

"What is this guarding against?" Zhong Ling asked in a deep voice.

At this moment, an angry roar came from behind him: "Throw! ”

The guards threw their torches into the room, and the flames were everywhere, and the wails were incessant, and after a few moments, there was silence.

The fire raged, but those guards were relieved, and Shen Yichi turned around and saw Ge Heng standing behind him.

"It's a Gu worm?"

"I think you know better than I do." Ge Heng's face was not good, and he didn't pay attention to the two, and walked straight out.

Shen Yichi took Zhong Ling's hand and said, "Go!" ”

followed Ge Heng to the front yard, pushed open the door of the main hall, and saw dozens of guards tied in the hall.
