Chapter 31: The Mystery of the Town (1)
In the dark, Shanshan felt the wound on her head hit by a stone, gasped, and became conscious, her eyes were blindfolded, she moved her hands and feet, damn it, someone tied up!
She cleared her throat without closing her mouth, and she shouted, "Anyone?" Someone! There is no one! ”
After screaming like this, Shanshan was a little out of oxygen in her head, and gasped roughly, but despite this, no one responded to her.
She began to recall what had happened before, she remembered that after the girl entered the temple, she was waiting outside, and it didn't take long for her to come out, saying that she was afraid alone, and it was right to think about it, a person who had just escaped from the tiger's den was afraid all the time, afraid of being caught back again, without thinking too much, she followed in, and then turned her back and waited for her to change her clothes, just when the sound of her changing clothes was still there, suddenly white powder was sprinkled on her, she had already encountered such a situation twice, where could she tolerate the third time! She reacted very quickly to block it with her sleeve, turned around to catch this person, and just when she turned around, she only felt a pain in her forehead, and blood flowed down her forehead, and then she lost consciousness, and woke up again, and it was here.
Shanshan is also very angry about this unfamiliar environment, what is going on? Why was she tied up here? What about that girl, is she also tied up? If so, why wasn't he tied to her? Where is she now? and Brother Chu, presumably they already knew that she was gone.
Shanshan struggled again, but the hands and feet were too tightly tied, and there was no loosening at all, she tried to get up, but there was no place to hold on to the left and right, and it felt like it should be a firewood room.
Inside the door, Shanshan couldn't struggle, couldn't call for help, and outside the door was a different scene.
Shanshan guessed well, this is indeed a firewood house, a house built of wood, the roof is paved with straw, a little simple, the door is locked with a large iron lock, there are two guards at the door, two of them stared ahead, motionless, I don't know and think it's a wooden man.
There is no one walking around in this courtyard, and the room facing the gate of the courtyard is where Shanshan is located, and the same is true of the other two rooms, the same, they are also locked, and there are two guards guarding the door, is there someone locked up inside? Is that girl in one of the rooms?
The answer is not yet known.
Walking out of this door, the outside is different from here, people come and go, there are everything, at this time, a woman in white wearing a veil walked in a hurry, followed by two maids, striding forward, trying to keep up with her, the woman in white eyebrows twisted into one, a pair of eyes full of anger, she entered the front hall, the middle-aged man sitting on the high seat was discussing things with his men, her sudden appearance interrupted their conversation, he waved his hand, and they had the vision to retreat.
The woman in white didn't care what he was talking about, whether it was very important or not, and when she walked in front of him, she gave him a slap, "You lied to me!" You lied to me! ”
The man frowned, a little angry, but she was always his daughter, and no matter how much she didn't understand him, he wouldn't touch her.
"Daddy! Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't do that again! ”
"Rou'er, be obedient, go back. Don't interfere with what your father does, and be your eldest lady well. ”
Chongcheng said impatiently, his daughter, everything is good, she just likes to get in the way of him, this is not the first time she has looked for him, so he is very disgusted.
"Why don't you take the young lady back to the room!"
"Yes, sir."
The subordinate didn't dare to say half a word, kept his head down, and asked weakly, "Miss, let's go back." ”
Chongrou'er glanced at them left and right, knowing that they were forced to be helpless, if she was disobedient, they would be beaten, and again, this was not the first time.
"Daddy! Have you forgotten what you told my mother? Didn't you promise my mother to take good care of me? I don't want you to make any more mistakes! Stop it, Dad! Father! ”
"What are you doing! Why don't you take the young lady down quickly! ”
Chongrou'er's crying roar failed to impress him for half a minute, she looked at his unmoved side face, knowing that he wouldn't listen to her what she said, disappointed, angry, resentful, filled her heart, for a long time, Chongcheng still turned his back to her with his hands behind his back, Chongrouer was completely disappointed, she cried and left, the two maids followed, looking at the back of her leaving, Chongcheng's eyes became more determined, he narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists: Rou'er, Dad's good intentions, you will understand sooner or later.
Not long after she left, the two maids ran over in a panic, shouting as they ran, "Oh no, sir! Oh no, little, Miss is gone! ”
After hearing this, Chongcheng slapped the table and was shocked.
After Shanshan disappeared, the three of them searched the entire temple and found no clues, so the two of them disappeared out of thin air. What is certain is that someone took them out of the small door at the back, Shanshan was drugged and injured again, Chu Yu was no longer smiling, his face was full of worry, and so was Zhao Yu.
Ding Jiu was also worried about Shanshan, but the three of them had been walking for a long time, and they hadn't said a word along the way, the atmosphere was strange and scary, and their eyes turned around, thinking about what to say to adjust the atmosphere.
"Well, I said Stone Head, should we find a place to rest? Aren't you tired of walking like this all the time? ”
Zhao Yu glanced at him, and at this time, he still wanted to rest.
"I'm not tired."
"......" Ding Jiu instantly lowered his face, "I didn't say you, Shanshan is missing, you are here like dead people!" Isn't that what you're looking for! The body is the capital of the revolution, okay, you go and look for it, I'll go and replenish my strength first! ”
Chu Yuzhong finally had an expression and smiled lightly, "What Daochang Ding said is right, Xiaoyu, let's go find a place to rest and have a meal first, maybe we can find out some news." ”
Zhao Yu nodded.
"That's right!" Ding Jiu also smiled, looked up, and said in surprise, "There's a small town ahead, let's go in and have a look!" ”
The two nodded and followed.
The people here are no different from people in other places, doing business as they should, coming and going, there is nothing strange about it, that girl is talking about a village, isn't it a place? Thinking like this, Chu Yu entered an inn, thinking that they would settle down here first, so that they could continue to inquire about the news.
"You two, you're still playing music with me, what's the matter, you still don't listen to me!"
opened his mouth, Ding Jiu began to chatter, and as he spoke, he saw a young woman at the front desk arguing with the shopkeeper.
"This girl, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just ...... You don't give a deposit at all, just want to stay in the hotel and eat, we are doing a small business, and we have to make money! ”
"I was in too much of a hurry to go out and forgot to bring money, so you can help me, and when I come out next time, I will definitely pay you back."
Looking at the back, she is a pretty girl, and the tone of her voice is also not deep in the world, and her experience is still shallow, this is not good, but you can't be bullied!
Ding Jiu stepped forward with a light cough and knocked on the table, "Shopkeeper, bring me three best rooms, and I'm preparing the best meal!" ”
After hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, thinking that he had met the God of Wealth?
Just about to speak, Ding Jiu suddenly looked at the girl in surprise, the girl's eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were full of autumn water, at this time her eyebrows were tightly locked, which was pitiful, he said, "This girl's eyebrows are picturesque, she should be smiling and captivating the country and the city, why are her brows locked, but what is the trouble?" ”
When the shopkeeper saw that he was talking to others, he was a little embarrassed and closed his mouth stupidly.
Chongrou'er ran away from home in anger, and usually wears a veil to meet people, but now that no one knows her, and she is penniless, but she doesn't want to see Chongcheng continue to do evil anymore, it can be said that she is in a dilemma.
"I ...... I didn't bring any money ......"
It was indeed a bit ashamed to say such a thing, and his face turned red, and it took him a long time to say it.
Ding Jiu frowned, "Could it be that you are arguing about this?" ”
At this time, not only Chongrou'er was embarrassed, but even the shopkeeper felt a little embarrassed, as if he was bullying the little girl.
Zhao Yu asked puzzledly, "Childe, what is Daoist Ding doing?" ”
Chu Yu smiled and shook his fan, "I don't know, let's talk about it later!" ”
"What a wicked innkeeper, the little girl went out alone, forgot to bring the money bag, this is understandable, not only did you not pull out the knife to help, but fell into the well, this is to force people to live on the streets!"
"Hey, hey, hey, guest officer! I can't say that, my small shop also wants to make money! If there is one person on credit, there will be two, and I can't do this business! If only there was a collateral for this, it would have worked! The point is that this girl has nothing, how can I help her! ”
The shopkeeper clapped his hands helplessly, and his face was full of grievances.
Ding Jiu pondered that the time was almost up, and seeing the shopkeeper's embarrassed face, he thought about it, and patted his chest angrily, "That's it, I'll pay for this girl's food and room!" Isn't that good? ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately smiled, "Okay, good!" ”
Ding Jiu also laughed with him, and Chongrou'er still couldn't believe it, what was going on?
"Okay, right?"
The shopkeeper nodded in response, of course, the money is there, and there is no sense of guilt.
"What a fart!"
Ding Jiu's face changed in a second, and the shopkeeper stopped it violently, looking at him strangely.
"You let the girl go just now, it's okay now, let's stop it! You're not the only inn! Let's change the one and go! ”
Chu Yu and Zhao Yu watched the play on the side, and they were comfortable.
As soon as she took a step, Chongrou'er tugged at Ding Jiu's sleeve and shook her head.
I could only hear the shopkeeper say loudly, "To tell you the truth, we are really the only inn in this town!" ”
Ding Jiu was stunned on the spot, did he take back his raised foot or step out?
