Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Walled City

"Childe, you wait for me!"

At this time, Yang Zhen was also shocked by the child's actions, but when he saw Lin Ling chasing after him, Yang Zhen reacted, hurriedly agreed, and followed.

The child's speed is not fast, but the alleys in the alley are winding around, Lin Ling can't help but prevent the child's whereabouts from being discovered, and he has to be careful not to be dumped by the child, which is indeed a little difficult.

But fortunately, Yang Zhen can be regarded as a person who has lived in Kyoto for many years, and he knows a lot about these stylistic alleys in Beijing, and at this moment, Yang Zhen looked at Lin Ling's clumsy tracking method, and knew that his son was not familiar with the path, so he consciously walked in the front and took on the role of a pathfinder.

After a short while, the two of them followed in the footsteps of the child in front of them, and gradually deviated from the rich area, and came to the rows of low earthen walls.

At this time, the alley can be regarded as coming to an end, and at this end, it turned out to be a slum with a radius of about two kilometers, but as soon as the two walked out of the alley, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

I saw a row of low houses, roughly estimated to be as many as 100, built in a staggered order before and after, but although these houses were neatly organized, they were all dilapidated.

The street is even more potholed, looking at it gives people a very depressed feeling, if it is not far away under a locust willow, there are a few children playing, Lin Ling really wants to be outside this is the ruins left by the previous dynasty.

However, although the scenery in front of him was dilapidated, the purpose of Lin Ling's visit this time was not to sigh, and it was at this time that Lin Ling found that the figure of the child just now was no longer on the street at this time.

couldn't find the child left and right, so Lin Ling had to turn his head and ask Yang Zhen instead: "Gongwei, where do you see that child going?" ”

However, it is obviously a bit redundant to ask Yang Zhen this question, after all, neither of them is a local, the child only needs to find a hidden place for a cat, and the two of them are waiting here for three days and three nights, which is also in vain.

However, since Lin Ling asked so, it was also a kind of trust in Yang Zhen, so Yang Zhen said honestly: "I'm sorry son, I didn't expect that the alley would be so spacious, I think that the kid found us early in the morning, and he must be hiding at this time." ”

Yang Zhen's words are reasonable, and Yang Zhen is no wonder about this matter, after all, if it weren't for the two of them hitting each other by mistake at this time, I'm afraid even Yang Zhen wouldn't believe that in such a prosperous Kyoto, there would be such a dilapidated place.

"I can't find it, so let's go and inquire, follow me."

After saying this, Lin Ling greeted Yang Zhen and took the lead in walking towards the children not far away.

Seeing this, Yang Zhen hurriedly followed.

It's just that the sudden visit of the two has obviously been discovered by the villagers in this village.

Perhaps because outsiders don't often come here, the children not far away saw two strangers walking towards them, and suddenly one by one, like frightened rabbits, began to run into the nearest courtyard.

At this time, the children's actions have been caught by Lin Ling, but even Lin Ling doesn't know how these children can be so afraid of life.

"Hey, don't go, I don't mean anything."

Lin Ling tried to shout at the children, but it didn't matter, but he shouted out the people in the other courtyards.

At this time, I only heard the sound of slamming the door, and the sound was endless, just for a moment, and the next moment I saw dozens of women and old people, under the leadership of a few and a half young men, carrying a large number of tattered farm tools, rushing out viciously, heading straight for Lin Ling.

Seeing this scene, Yang Zhen, a veteran who was crawling around in Kyoto, was a little better, but Lin Ling was scared out of a cold sweat.

But at this time, looking at this group of angry old and young women and children, Yang Zhen shouted and said: "Fellow villagers, calm down, you put down your weapons first, we are just passing by, there is really no malice, you..."

It's just that before Yang Zhen finished speaking, he heard an old man who looked quite tough yelled: "Let your mother's bullshit go!" Damn it, a bunch of people who eat people and don't spit out bones! ”

"The old man knows what you want to do, didn't your Yueyang Mansion threaten to raid our home? Why did I send you two cowards today! ”

"We won't beat you today, but Lao Tzu will tell you, go back and inform your master, and say that we will not obey you in Longzhai! If you want to be capable, go get it yourself! ”

At first glance, this old man is the master who has seen the world, and such words really shocked Lin Ling, but Lin Ling knew the general reason of the matter from the analysis of what he had just said.

Although Lin Ling insisted that if he escaped for his life, with the blessing of the strange mandarin duck step, he believed that none of the people present would be able to catch up with him.

However, Lin Ling didn't want to do this, because once he escaped, he would just be ridiculed by others, and if he ran away like this, he would be completely branded as a dog official.

This was something that Lin Ling couldn't tolerate, so Lin Ling decided to reason with them.

It's just that in the face of such a group of excited people, the difficulty of being persuaded can be imagined.

"Fellow villagers, let me explain, we are indeed not from Yueyang Mansion, and for those ruffians in Yueyang Mansion, I am afraid that it will not be just the two of us who will come."

"Honestly, we... We are the secret inspectors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and we were able to come to your village this time, and we were also reported by the villagers before, so the above sent my brothers and sisters to come here one step ahead to conduct research work. ”

Lin Ling's words are not red and heartbeat, not to mention these villagers who have been closed all year round, even Yang Zhen on the side, if he didn't know that Lin Ling was nonsense, I am afraid he would have been fooled.

"Inspector? What's that..."

"Patrol? Sounds like they're patrolling..."

"Old man, do you have to wait for the fifth brother and them to come back before making a decision? And the person who spoke looked white and pure, and he really didn't look like the lackey of the dog officer. ”

At this time, Lin Ling and Yang Zhen, who were standing aside and waiting for the results, were like two big white radishes that had been stripped of mud, and it was indeed a little embarrassing to be pointed at by everyone like this.

And these people are not shy about talking at all, from beginning to end, almost everything that these people say is heard by Lin Ling, especially when he hears that he is said to be patrolling, Lin Ling is even more depressed.

However, the half-grown young man at the end was obviously a very cautious person, and it was precisely because of his calm words that the old man successfully relented.

And it was also because of the man's suggestion that Lin Ling and the others were freed from the restraint of the rope, but were directly locked in a courtyard with a courtyard wall close to three meters.

At this time, the crowd had dispersed, and only two teenagers who looked a little ignorant were left at the door, one holding a sharpened bamboo pole, standing outside the door on the left and right, blocking the exit tightly.

This courtyard is not big, but in addition to the hall is the wall, Yang Zhen walked along the wall left and right, came to Lin Ling and said, "Childe, it seems that we are under house arrest." ”

In fact, without Yang Zhen's reminder, Lin Ling had already seen it, but compared to being under house arrest, Lin Ling was more interested in what was happening in the village.
