The words were divided into two ends, because Lin Yang helped Ning Caichen come out, so Ning Caichen successfully received the seventy taels of accounts, and Lin Yang's talisman, wind charm, paper crane body, Ning Caichen decided to go back to his hometown first, return the account to Jubao Zhai, and then go to the capital to catch the exam.

When Ning Caichen returned to his hometown, it was already October, the autumn wind was bleak, and everything was withering.

Walking on the streets of his hometown, there were sparse figures, and there were corpses of sick and starving people everywhere, and Ning Caichen frowned.

The doors and windows of the houses on the street were closed, and two women watched young men pass by and began to talk.

"Who's that young man?"

The other woman recognized Ning Caichen and sighed: "He is the poor scholar on the back street, he has only come back now, and the world has changed!" ”

Ning Caichen didn't know that the two women were secretly talking about him, and he never imagined that his hometown would become a different picture, and it would no longer be the hometown he remembered.

Ning Caichen saw that the only small liquor shop opened on the street, and happened to be hungry, so he walked in.

In the small wine shop, there are some hideous-looking men, obviously all of them are outlaws.

Someone who recognized Ning Caichen said: "Isn't he the kid who collected the accounts from Jubao Zhai?" ”

"Jubao Zhai is long gone, he's still stupid!"

Ning Caichen and these people in the wine shop looked at each other, although they were a little uneasy in their hearts, but Ning Caichen saw that he was in his hometown, but he also had a fluke in his heart, and it was estimated that these villagers would not harm him.

Ning Caichen found a table and sat down, and the cook brought him a bowl of human meat.

After all, the experience was too poor, and Ning Caichen didn't feel it after eating a few bites. While he was still eating, he suddenly saw a big man with a big man, against a person's thigh, and walked in.

At this time, Ning Caichen was not calm, he looked into the cook's pot again, and it was even more wrong. Just then, a dog came in with a human hand in his mouth.

Ning Caichen understood in an instant, and immediately vomited.

Before Ning Caichen finished spitting, everyone in the wine shop was holding a sword and had already surrounded Ning Caichen.

Everyone laughed.

"Have you received the account?"

"How much did you get?"

Ning Caichen felt bitter in his heart, he was surrounded by a group, even if he was a wind charm, he couldn't escape.

At this moment, a voice came from outside.

"Stop! We are the fugitives. ”

"The official is here, run!"

The outlaws in the wine shop scattered one after another.

Ning Caichen thought that the servant was good, and got up to pick up his bookshelf.

However, the officials couldn't catch the outlaws, so they arrested Ning Caichen.

One of them compared the bounty image and squeezed Ning Caichen's chin.

"You are Zhou Yabing?"

Ning Caichen hurriedly denied: "He has a beard, I don't!" I'm a good person! ”

The officials didn't listen to Ning Caichen's explanation at all.

"If you shave your beard, won't you have it? Catch it back and claim it! ”

Ning Caichen: "... ”

The officials couldn't help but say, so they arrested Ning Caichen and threw him into prison.

Seeing the servants leaving, and he was in prison, Ning Caichen immediately shouted: "What are you doing, I didn't break the law, let me out." I was wronged, I'm not Zhou Yabing! ”

As soon as Ning Caichen spoke up, the other prisoners in the prison also coaxed: "Let me out, I'm not Zhou Yabing!" ”

Ning Caichen shouted a few times, but instead of calling back the officials, he could hear a shout of scolding in the prison behind him.

"Don't make a noise!"

Ning Caichen looked back and saw an old man with a disheveled hair and ragged clothes writing on the wall.

Ning Caichen slowly leaned over and said behind the old man: "My name is Ning Caichen, I am not Zhou Yabing!" ”

The old man turned around, shook his hand, threw Ning Caichen to the ground, and then leaned over and said, "I am a human being like you, and I am destined to go to prison." ”

Ning Caichen said in disbelief: "Uncle, don't be so pessimistic!" ”

The old man continued: "My ancestors have no eyes, let me be knowledgeable, and let me write books to pass on to the world. Who knows, writing a travelogue, I was told that I leaked state secrets; Writing history, I say that I use the past to satirize the present; commenting on the art of war, and saying that I instigated rebellion; Write stories about gods and monsters, and say that I lead people to superstition; In the end, I had to rewrite celebrity biographies. Who knows, the celebrity I wrote about lost power and was condemned as a rebel, and I, along with him, was sentenced to life in prison. Do you say you were born in prison? ”

Ning Caichen listened to what the old man said, while looking through the old man's cloth bag, inside the cloth bag was a token and a book of "The Way of the World".

When Ning Caichen looked through it, a cockroach crawled on his shoulder, which frightened Ning Caichen into an exclamation.

When the old man heard that there were cockroaches, his movements were very sharp, so he grabbed the cockroaches and stuffed them into his mouth and ate them.

Seeing that Ning Caichen was disgusted again.

The old man smiled: "Don't waste it, the cockroaches are here, they are more fragrant than chicken legs, and you will know when you live for a long time." There's nothing to eat here, so don't pick the fat and the skinny. ”

Ning Caichen asked, "Uncle, how long have you lived here?" ”

The old man said: "I was the same as you when I first came, and now it has become like this, how long have you been talking, is it very characterful?" ”

Ning Caichen looked at the appearance of the old man, it had been at least a few decades, and he was immediately confused, got up, walked to the prison door, and shouted loudly: "Wronged! Wronged! Wronged! I'm not Zhou Yabing! ”

As Ning Caichen shouted, the other prisoners also shouted mechanically: "Wronged! I'm not Zhou Yabing! ”

Ning Caichen shouted a few times, but no jailer came, and he returned to the cell in a gloomy manner.

"What to do? Do you really want to go to prison for decades, just like the old man? ”

Ning Caichen was congested for a while.

"How do you get out?"

Ning Caichen thought about it, and finally, he remembered what Lin Yang told him.

"That's right, Akazuru! Brother Lin has great powers, and he will definitely come to save me! ”

Ning Caichen took out the paper crane from his arms and said happily: "It's up to you now!" ”

Before Ning Caichen could be released, the paper crane was taken away by the old man.

"Hey, you're playing with paper cranes?"

Ning Caichen was shocked: "Give it back to me!" ”

The old man looked at it, but he didn't see anything famous, and he sent the paper crane to Ning Caichen.

Ning Caichen was afraid that a paper crane would be destroyed, so he hurriedly picked it up with both hands.

"By the way, Brother Lin asked me to release it when no one was around, during the day, in case someone robbed it, it would be bad, I will release it at night."

Ning Caichen took the paper crane into his arms and hid it, and now he was much calmer.

Once he knew that he still had hope of being rescued, Ning Caichen was much calmer and began to chat with the old man.

"By the way, uncle, what's your name?"

The old man patted his head and said, "Oh, it's been too long, I don't remember!" ”

Ning Caichen said: "Uncle, don't worry, someone will come to save me, and I will take you out when the time comes!" ”

The old man shook his head and said: "What's the use of going out, I will be arrested for anything I go out, it's better to stay in prison and write books quietly!" ”

Ning Caichen said: "Uncle, I know that there is a place where absolutely no one dares to arrest you!" ”

The old man obviously didn't believe it, "Is there such a place? ”

"Not bad! Because the place is haunted, no one dares to go there! ”

The old man said unhappily: "Young man, you still want me to go if you are haunted, why don't you let me go to death?" ”

Ning Caichen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, there are two warlocks with great powers, if you follow them, the ghosts will definitely not dare to harm you." Besides, not all ghosts are bad, and I've seen good ones. ”

When the old man heard that Ning Caichen had seen a ghost, he immediately became interested.

"Come, let's talk about it, and see if it's a monster story I wrote!"

Ning Caichen immediately brought Lin Yang, Yan Chixia, and Xiahou to the story of the fierce battle against the tree demon, as well as the matter of Nie Xiaoqian, with the old man.

The old man sneered: "Young man, I didn't expect you to be quite good at making up stories!" ”

Ning Caichen hurriedly said: "Uncle, what I said is true, you will know when Brother Lin comes to save me." ”

The old man only thought that Ning Caichen had paranoia and went to write a book by himself.

Ning Caichen sat there and thought silently, "Am I looking for Brother Lin's help?" Or don't look for it? It's only been two months since I left, and I've made this virtue, do you want to trouble Brother Lin again? But if I don't look for Brother Lin, will I be wronged in prison for the rest of my life? Well, I'll wait a few days to see, I've been wronged, sooner or later they'll find out, and let me out. If you really can't get out, it's not too late to find Brother Lin again. ”
