Chapter 1025 - Counting is Counting
It's winter, and night falls very quickly.
Gu Li only knew how to eat, and he didn't remember the time at all, when Zhang Tong turned around and looked out the window, he could already see a moon hanging there, and his heart was terrible, he didn't know how dark it was when he chatted like this, and he didn't know if Zhang Jiusheng and they would suddenly have something to find themselves.
After pulling Gu Li, Zhang Tong thought about saying goodbye.
Unexpectedly, Gu Li didn't move, and when he looked back at him, he saw Gu Li lying on the table and sleeping, still clutching the pair of bamboo chopsticks in his hands, and only Hou Lao Liu's father and son were smiling at him.
How so?
Their smile is a little weird.
At night, the wind was cold outside, and although the house was hot, I always felt that these two people were not very real.
Zhang Tong unconsciously felt furious in his heart.
What's going on?
It feels like the atmosphere is a little weird.
Zhang Tong swallowed his saliva, remained silent, and smiled at Hou Lao Liu's father and son, but how much flattery there was in that smile, even he didn't know very well.
"Eat, eat, eat, it tastes good, right?" Hou Laoliu smiled innocently, and a few traces of the vicissitudes of time in the corners of his eyes were extremely deep, and Zhang Tong felt that the person in front of him seemed to be a little bit like an ordinary person.
When this dangerous thought appeared in his mind, Zhang Tong couldn't control his eyes and glanced at the hand of someone holding chopsticks.
It doesn't matter if you don't glance at it, as soon as you glance at it, you can see that Hou Lao Liu's palm, especially the position of the tiger's mouth, is a thick layer of cocoons.
He thought that ordinary people often have to work in the fields, and they will have calluses when they hold a hoe, but what if they are people who practice martial arts all year round? Is he an ordinary person or a scheming person?
Zhang Tong's hand holding the chopsticks gradually tightened.
"Gu Li? Gu Li, wake up! Zhang Tong grabbed Gu Li's shoulder, his fingers almost poked into his shoulder blades, but Gu Li didn't seem to know the pain, sleeping like a dead pig, but the chopsticks in his hand were still clenched tightly.
It's almost an accident and you can't forget to eat?!
Zhang Tong scolded angrily in his heart.
He couldn't tell the intentions of the Hou family's father and son in front of him, but the two of them were left and right, almost sandwiching him and Gu Li in the middle, and his kung fu was not as good as Gu Li's. If he came alone, he could make sure that he could escape, but if he added another Gu Li, it would be a bit hanging.
"Brother Zhang, what's wrong?" Seeing that Zhang Tong didn't speak, Hou Lao Liu asked again, looking extremely eager.
Zhang Tong hurriedly smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I said, why is this kid's alcohol so bad?" Now he's asleep, and I'll have to carry him back for a while. ”
Unexpectedly, Hou Lao Liu said: "It's getting late, it's such a cold day, just stay with me, anyway, if there is an empty room, just clean up." ”
Zhang Tong chuckled in his heart, and before he could stop it, he saw Hou Lao Liu say to Hou Ze: "Go, clean up the two guest rooms." ”
"No, no, we are from the government, and we are out of the house today, and we don't know the time, we have already made a mistake. Even if it's late at this hour, we have to go back and report to the adults, otherwise the adults may send people to look for us everywhere. Zhang Tong smiled slightly, pulled Gu Li's back collar again, and almost lifted him up from the table, but Gu Li was dead, as if he had grown with the table.
Zhang Tong gritted his teeth in anger, eager to slap the chain to death at this critical moment.
In the heat and fog, he looked at Hou Lao Liu's father and son, the two faces gradually became distorted, as if they were about to become two ghosts, and suddenly, the light in front of him began to gradually dim, trapping Zhang Tong in it like a circle, and finally watching the darkness wrap itself.
Finally, the personnel are unconscious.
And at this moment, Zhang Jiusheng and Yunsheng were in the yamen, waiting left and right, but they couldn't wait for Zhang Tong, Guan Chu's legs were almost good, standing at the door, glancing at the door from time to time, and Zhang Tong could never be seen.
"What's going on with Zhang Tong? He would never be absent from the yamen all day. Guan Chu muttered.
Yun Sheng always had a sense of uneasiness lingering in his heart, and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”
"No, it won't." Although Zhang Jiusheng responded like this, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, after all, there were too many things that had happened recently, he swallowed nervously, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down uneasily.
"My lord, just in case, it's better to send a few people out to find it." Guan Chu couldn't wait, and was about to step out as he spoke, but was grabbed by Zhang Jiusheng's arm: "My lord?!" ”
"Don't worry, isn't there still Gu Li?"
"Eh, this Gu Li is elusive, and I don't know if it's reliable. What's more, who knows if he will be by Zhang Tong's side? Or my name is Tie Wan, bring a few more brothers, and go out to find it. ”
Zhang Jiusheng wanted to say something more, but he heard Yun Sheng say: "Then you go, but now is an extraordinary time, if you can't find Zhang Tong within an hour, all of you have to come back to the yamen and bring arrows." ”
"Ringing arrows? Don't be so ......" Guan Chu was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the matter could be so serious.
"Take it." What Yun Sheng said could not be refused, Guan Chu had no choice but to nod and go out.
Zhang Jiusheng watched Guan Chu leave, turned around and asked Yun Sheng, "Why did you agree to him going?" What if something happens again? ”
"If Zhang Tong really has an accident, now let Guan Chu go out to find someone with the arrester, which is to tell the other party that Zhang Tong is from the Yamen, and let them act cautiously. I asked Guan Chu and them to come back after only one hour, and I also told them that Zhang Tong was not too important to the Yamen, and even if they held Zhang Tong, it would not matter to the Yamen. ”
"In this case, even if Zhang Tong is really arrested, as long as he is smarter, his life will not be in danger."
"Yes, but it might be a bit of a struggle."
Yun Sheng held his chin, thinking about what kind of person would arrest Zhang Tong, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Tong was just a trick in the yamen, even if he had helped solve the case, no matter how he was, he should not be looking for Zhang Tong, but she should be arrested.
And not long after, Zhang Tong woke up in a dimly lit place, the first thing he smelled was a slight smell of rotten wood, he moved, his hands and feet were tied, I don't know how long he was tied, he was numb, and his elbow hit any hard place, and he couldn't feel pain.
Zhang Tong took a deep breath, his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, only to find that he was tied to a firewood room, and not far from him, there was lying Gu Li, just like him, his hands and feet were tied, and he was thrown there unconscious.
Looking at the light shining through the crack in the door, Zhang Tong could roughly confirm that it was daytime, but he didn't know how long he and Gu Li had been in a coma in this firewood room.
"Gu ......" As soon as Zhang Tong opened his mouth and was about to try to wake up Gu Li, he saw Gu Li slowly open his eyes, his eyes were clear, and he told him with his mouth shape not to make a sound.
Zhang Tong was stunned for a while, and immediately understood that Gu Li had already sensed that something was wrong with the Hou family's father and son.
Then, seeing that Gu Li moved his body slightly, he had already untied the rope that trapped his wrist, and after quickly untying his feet, he quickly walked over to untie it for Zhang Tong.
"You already knew ......" Zhang Tong grabbed Gu Li's collar.
Gu Li held him down and said softly, "At first, I wasn't very sure, so I could only count it." ”
With that, the two of them came to the door together, the courtyard outside was empty, and there was no sound of people around, quietly, it seemed that everyone had gone out.
The two waited for a while, and Gu Li reached through the crack in the door and shook the lock on the door.
"How? Can it be opened? Zhang Tong stared and asked.
"If you open it, you can open it." Gu Li had something to say.
"Then you'd be open." Zhang Tong urged.
Gu Li glanced at him, and then said, "Don't you want to know what they want to do?" ”
Zhang Tong paused: "Then you can't wait." ”
"Actually, don't you think it......" Gu Li wanted to speak and stopped, and then looked at Zhang Tong quietly, the two looked at each other for a while, Zhang Tong couldn't resist Gu Li's tough gaze, turned his head slightly, and staggered his gaze.
"They know us."
"Huh?"
"Under normal circumstances, if they have been hiding here for many years, then it is normal for them to know you, and it is not normal for them to know me. If they are from the Wu Mansion, there is no need to arrest you and me, you are just a puppet, and I am nothing, if you want to arrest Master Zhang, or Yun Sheng. ”
Gu Li's words were to the point, Zhang Tong calmed down and thought about it carefully, indeed, his identity in Fan County was just a trick with no status, that is, Zhang Jiusheng valued him, so he had a place in the yamen.
But other than that, he couldn't think of anything he could threaten others.
"So, what do you want?" Zhang Tong asked.
Gu Li's eyes looked out through the crack in the door, calm and sharp, and then only heard a slight sound, Gu Li slowly took a step back, and the lock in his hand fell to the ground.
Zhang Tong frowned, and then kicked up.
"Why are you kicking me again?" Gu Li reacted quickly and blocked Zhang Tong's legs.
"Didn't you say you couldn't get out?" Zhang Tong was a little angry that he was played.
Gu Li scratched his head: "When will I not be able to say it?" ”
After that, Gu Li held the doorknob with both hands, straightened his waist, and stepped out of the threshold, it was empty outside, and sure enough, there was no one, they were still in Hou Laoliu's house.
And where they are located, is the firewood house.
Zhang Tong also stepped out, with Gu Li behind him, he seemed to have the confidence to rampage in the courtyard, but it was quiet here, he pushed away the house where Hou Lao Liu invited them to eat hot pot before, the hot pot was already cold, and the dishes and chopsticks on the table were not cleaned up, but the people in the house were gone.
"What's going on?" Zhang Tong seemed to be talking to himself.
Gu Li followed, picked up a bowl on the table, sniffed it, and said, "They are in a hurry." ”
"What should I do?"
"Let's go back to the yamen."
Gu Li couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, so the two of them hurried back to the yamen, and at that time, Zhang Jiusheng and the others were anxious waiting in the yamen, Guan Chu's ass seemed to have thorns, and he couldn't sit still for a moment.
