Chapter 184: Hunting the Swallows

Song Jiayao nodded, and immediately sped up to the nearest town, after all, any female streamer would not want to camp in this barren mountain and wild place.

"Have you done any research? What's the condition of the nearest town? Song Jiayao asked, she felt that since Nangong Jin dared to keep his henchmen to herself, then he must have a living person, at least not a barbaric husband who only shouts and kills like he seems on the surface.

"Miss Bing, there is the largest town in the north of the city, Yan Town, and the climate is warm like spring all year round, so I often see swallows flying in the sky."

"And almost every family here has a nest made of swallows, and swallows are very sacred here, and their status is very noble, and they cannot be hunted at will, let alone hunted." Zhang San told Song Jiayao one by one the information he had collected from his subordinates.

"I think this place is beautiful, so let's go there." Song Jiayao smiled, the breeze blew, blowing her black and beautiful straight hair, and the entire quiet forest was instantly covered with a light and elegant daughter fragrance.

Song Jiayao waved the horse rope vigorously with both hands to drive the horses' farts, and everywhere she went, the green grass was lifted, as well as the petals of the dandelions that were at ease with her encounter, Zhang San immediately followed closely behind, and during the time when Nangong Jin went out to do business, he shouldered the mission of the future lady.

The two finally came to Yanzhen when it was dark, but unfortunately, it should be full of lights, crowded with people, and the place where the market was noisy, but it was strangely quiet at the moment.

Song Jiayao and Zhang San found a post station at random, tied each other's horses, and then gently knocked on the door of the already confined post station on foot.

The first time, no one responded; The second time, there was still no response......

Song Jiayao glanced at Zhang San behind her, at this time, she could only use violence as a last resort!!

"Bang bang bang!!" Zhang San banged vigorously on the confined door of this post station, it is only a short time since the sun has set, it is impossible that there is no one!!

"Coming, who?" Only then did a white-haired old man open the door of confinement, and the vicissitudes of life.

"Hello old man, we're here to stay." Song Jiayao said gently, her every move is a model for everyone's ladies.

The old man, who was still suspicious, slowly opened all the cracks and let Song Jiayao and them in.

"Girl, I'm sorry, but the shop is closed, so ...... There is nothing to entertain the two distinguished guests. The old man said respectfully.

Song Jiayao walked in calmly, there was no light inside, only two big candles lit on the tablet dedicated to Guan Ergong.

After the door was opened, a cold wind blew in from the outside, and the candle on the tablet of Guan Ergongshen shook violently, almost extinguished, this eerie feeling, even Zhang San, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, felt creepy.

However, for the reborn Song Jiayao, the chaos and strange power cannot be trusted, and if there are really ghosts in this world, then she is probably an existence that is even more terrifying than ghosts.

"Old man, what's going on in town? Why do you close so early? Song Jiayao said gently, and then poured tea and water for herself.

"Looking at the girl's dress, she should have been born from a big family, not from our town......" The old man said slowly.

Song Jiayao nodded with a smile, wanting to see what gourds were sold in the stomach of this old man.

"The girl doesn't know, our Yanzhen has been closed to the bustling and noisy night market for the past few days."

"What do you mean by that?" Song Jiayao tilted her head and asked.

"Our Yan Town, the most famous in the past dynasties is swallows, and it is precisely because of these swallows that we inhabit here, which makes our Yan Town famous in Beijing."

“?” Song Jiayao is still puzzled, what does the swallow have to do with your family closing the door as soon as the sun has just set?

"Shh......h Listen!! The old man immediately closed the door of the post station softly, and motioned for Song Jiayao and Zhang San to lean against the door and listen.

Song Jiayao and Zhang San put their ears close to the door, and then there was a noisy sound of swords outside, as if they were slashing something.

"With the arrow, it is already injured and can't fly far." In the dark of the night, a man in black commanded, his voice hoarse but irresistible.

"Whoosh!!" The sound of countless sharp arrows flying was exceptionally crisp and loud in the pitch black.

"Miss, be careful!!" Zhang San immediately pressed Song Jiayao's head, and then a sharp arrow broke through the door and swept past Song Jiayao's forehead dangerously.

"Smack!!" A puddle of bright red snow was clearly imprinted on the lattice paper of the gate, and then a swallow that had been pierced through the heart by a sharp arrow fell heavily on the lattice paper.

"It's off to a good start, and I've finally hunted one." A strong man stepped forward to pick up the swallow and brutally pulled out the sharp arrow from its body.

"Chirp ......" shouted twice like a mournful cry, and the swallow completely lost its breath.

"Let's go...... Go to the next place. ”

The people who hunted the swallows outside the door walked farther and farther, and Song Jiayao raised her head again and motioned to Zhang San to open the door with her eyes.

"This young lady, big brother, I can't help it." The old man immediately stepped forward and pressed the deadbolt to prevent them from going out and causing trouble.

"These swallow hunters, they are not ordinary people, but they are supported by a huge force behind them!!" The old man reminded.

Song Jiayao then dispelled the idea of going out to investigate......

At this time, the sound of children crying and screaming was heard outside.

"Don't come here, they're just newborn nestlings...... Very innocent. The immature child used his milk to collect the young swallows into his arms, and although his voice trembled, he stood up firmly to protect them.

"Hah...... I heard you right, a little kid still dares to talk nonsense to us, looking for death!! The black-clothed man at the head raised the long sword in his hand, and the silver-white cold light was even more terrifying under the moonlight.

"Ahh The little boy screamed with his eyes closed.

Zhang San immediately broke out of the window of the post station, knocked out the long sword that the strong man in black swung at the child, and then held the sword in his backhand and threw it directly, stabbing the strong man in the throat.

The other two black-clothed men who were hunting with him immediately took out the flares hidden in their sleeves, but why would Zhang San give them a chance to release them.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang ......" only two or three sword shadows took off the heads of the two men in black.

"Quick, hide this kid." Song Jiayao ordered, Zhang San immediately took the child and hid in the post station, and then quickly used the surrounding spinning cloth to cover the broken window.

"You, you ......" The old man who kindly took them in didn't know what to say at the moment, and wanted to drive them out, but when he remembered Zhang San's swordsmanship, he immediately coaxed.

"Old man, here is a little respect...... Don't be silent, don't be silent. Song Jiayao took out the delicate purse she was carrying, took out a silver ticket with a not small denomination and stuffed it into his hand.

The old man's eyes immediately sparkled, and then he hurriedly put away the silver ticket like a treasure, after all, he had run this dilapidated post station for so long, and he had never met a rich and noble person who gave him such a big silver ticket.

"There's a room upstairs that is vacant, so bring this little ghost upstairs." The old man smiled and said, this silver ticket with white flowers made him simply pick up a treasure.

Song Jiayao nodded to Zhang San, and Zhang San immediately bent down and carried the child who had fallen asleep on his back and took it to the room of the post station to be placed.

At this time, after the people who were hunting swallows outside, they found that a small group of people were missing, and began to look for them separately, and found their bodies on the road less than five hundred meters away from the post station where Song Jiayao lived.

"Chirp...... Syllable!! The hunters who found the bodies of the three men immediately sent a call for help.

And all this fell into Song Jiayao's eyes, but fortunately, Zhang San was a certain distance away from this post station when he was cooking them, and he doubted that it would not fall on this post station in the first place.

"Miss, this little ghost is asleep at the moment, so the little one will take care of it, you can rest next door." Zhang San proposed that he could work hard, but he couldn't work the future Mrs. Ping'anhou.

"No, I'll wait until he wakes up, and I have something to ask him." Song Jiayao refused, and then wiped the cold sweat on the little ghost's forehead with her own brocade.

"Ahh The little ghost didn't know what kind of nightmare he had and was suddenly awakened.

When he saw Song Jiayao and Zhang San, two strangers, he reflexively protected the young swallow hidden in his arms and retreated, until there was no way to retreat and he had reached the corner, then he raised his head and waited for them stubbornly.

"Don't be afraid, we have no ill intentions...... It was the strong man behind you who saved you. Song Jiayao explained, and then took back the dirty Jinpa.

As soon as the little ghost saw the delicate peony pattern carved on it, he guessed that the beautiful woman in front of him was either rich or noble, and she was the kind of person he was most reluctant to touch.

"Why are you still going out so late?" Song Jiayao said gently.

The little ghost flattened his mouth, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Those young swallows, if you continue to suffocate them in your arms, you will die." Song Jiayao changed the topic and deliberately used the topic he was interested in to set the talk.

Sure enough, the child's eyebrows flickered, and then he immediately took out a nest of young swallows in his arms that were about to be suffocated to death.

"Zhang San, go and ask the old man if there are any birds and insects to feed these newborn swallows." Song Jiayao said in a noble manner, but her tone did not make people feel aggressive.

It didn't take long for Zhang San to fill a bowl with a bowl of insects and come back, Song Jiayao opened the small bowl as if it was dirty, and then lifted one of the small insects and put it near the pair of young swallows.

The little ghost originally had some scruples, but seeing that she didn't look like a lady at all, and even fed these young swallows herself, she couldn't help but put down her whole uneasy heart.

"Miss......" The little ghost slammed down from the bed and knelt down in front of Song Jiayao.

"What are you doing here!!" Song Jiayao hurriedly helped the child up, but found that he was very stubborn and refused to get up.

"You have something to say, don't do it at every turn." Song Jiayao helplessly helped her forehead and said.

"Miss, since these swallow thieves entered the hall, my parents were persecuted to death by this group of thugs in order to protect the swallows in the town, if Miss is really an official lady......"

"Tong Zhen is here to beg Miss to take action, bring this group of evil Yan hunting gangsters to justice, and return our Yan Town to a peaceful place, even if I want to be a slave and a horse in the future, I will not hesitate to do it." Tong Zhen said sonorously and forcefully, and then kowtowed three times to Song Jiayao.
