Outside, a slight sound sounded. Ah Xiang looked up and listened intently. It was snoring, and the two soldiers standing guard were clearly napping. Then another voice was heard, and it was evident that someone was approaching the soldier, and after a sound of squirming, the door opened softly, and a man slipped in.

"Don't be afraid!" This is a man who came to Ah Xiang and said in a low voice, "I'm here to save you." ”

He quickly untied the ropes on Ah Xiang and Sister-in-law Jiang, and said in a low voice again: "The soldiers outside have been knocked unconscious by me. All you have to do is follow me, don't make a sound, and you can escape. ”

Although Ah Xiang showed a suspicious look in his eyes, he didn't make a sound. Two women followed him closely behind him and went out. At the door, two soldiers were lying, silently. It's dark and very quiet. The man led them to the side of the courtyard wall, and climbed over the wall one by one. Outside was an alley, pitch black. They ran back down the alley, and soon ran out of the village.

When they came to the woods and stopped, Ah Xiang and Sister-in-law Jiang both stared at the man strangely. Although it was night, it could also be seen that this man was twenty-six or seventeen years old, not tall, very capable, with a pair of small eyes shining brightly, and a set of black clothes and hats showing that he was good at night walking.

"Who are you, and why do you want to save us?" Ah Xiang asked.

The man ate and laughed: "You don't want to live? ”

Ah Xiang said categorically: "Of course we are willing to live, but we don't want to live in a daze!" Tell us, who are you, you don't know it, why do you want to save us? ”

"Hee-hee! It seems that you are not an honest person. If you want to go back to your cell, I'll help you get back right away. ”

Ah Xiang sneered: "You have a sweet dream, right? It's definitely impossible to go back to the cell. Sister-in-law Jiang, let's go! ”

Ah Xiang pulled Sister-in-law Jiang and strode away.

The man was anxious and caught up: "I said hot sister, you don't even have a little gratitude?" ”

Ah Xiang said: "I don't know, why be grateful?" ”

"Okay, I'm defeated, that's all right?"

Ah Xiang pulled Sister-in-law Jiang to stop: "Tell me!" ”

The man grinned again: "I said hot sister, you are indeed very special." In Shimoda Yandong, known as Dongye, a native of Tancheng, he was originally a soldier under the King of Song, and he made a living by killing people, avoiding trouble in Pengcheng, and trafficking. Hunted down the enemy last night and ran here. Speaking of this, he smiled again: "Is the introduction detailed?" ”

"Go on!"

"Hot sister is shrewd! The two people who died in the hotel, named Lin Da and Lin Er, were both thieves and specialized in business. Some time ago, we were transporting goods from Pengcheng to Tancheng, and we were robbed twice and three brothers died. Later, it was found that it was Lin Da and Lin Er. I chased them here, found their tracks, and shot them through the window. didn't think about it, so the two girls were implicated, and they will be killed tomorrow. I couldn't bear it, so I took the risk to rescue me. You don't think I have other intentions, do you? ”

Ah Xiang said: "Listen to what you say, there are no flaws." That's it, let's even, farewell! ”

Ah Xiang pulled Sister-in-law Jiang and left, and Dong Ye hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Hot sister, it's very dangerous to walk like this." Officers and soldiers have horses, and two legs can run over four legs. Stop for an hour, and I'll steal the horses. The horse was tethered to the courtyard in the east of the village, unguarded. ”

Ah Xiang said: "It's okay, you go!" ”

Higashi also quickly walked towards the village and town, and the figure disappeared.

Ah Xiang said in a low voice to Sister-in-law Jiang: "This person is not simple, he is agile and quite martial arts. I suspect he's an accomplice of Liansheng. The intention is to follow us, find out our identity, find out the forces against them, find the black-clad masked man disguised as a beggar, kill him together, and avenge Sha Binghan. ”

"Can you?"

"Yes. I walk the rivers and lakes, these ruthless people, all this kind of play. Sister-in-law Jiang, take advantage of this, let's also go back to the village and town to see if Lian Sheng is still there. I reckon that he has already left, leaving only Dong to deal with us. Bian Sheng can have an accomplice like Dongye, which shows that their backstage is very hard and powerful. In addition," she stared at Sister-in-law Jiang, "if he wants to stick to us and follow us, he will definitely find an excuse, and you are his biggest excuse." ”

"Me?"

"Yes. You are close to him in your age, and he will pretend to be in love with you, so it is reasonable to follow us. ”

Sister-in-law Jiang said hatefully: "If that's true, I will kill him!" ”

Ah Xiang looked at Sister-in-law Jiang with a little surprise: "Sister-in-law Jiang, you seem to have changed." ”

Sister-in-law Jiang said almost resolutely: "Can I not change?" If you don't change, you'll be a fool! ”

Ah Xiang suddenly hugged Sister-in-law Jiang and praised: "This is my good sister-in-law Jiang!" ”

After that, the two went to the village and town. Sister-in-law Jiang said that although her tough words just now were momentary anger, they were also her determination. She can't be tricked anymore, she has to be strong. She still has to practice more, learn more experience, and can't let people cheat to death or bear to death!

In the villages and towns, it was still dark and quiet. Came to the backyard of the "Fuyue Inn", Sister-in-law Jiang stood under the wall of the courtyard to control the wind, Ah Xiang jumped in, not much effort, came back, and told Sister-in-law Jiang that Lian Sheng was really not there. The two women returned to the east entrance of the village, and the east had already stolen three horses. The three of them were just about to ride their horses, but unexpectedly, the fire was lit, and more than a dozen soldiers poured out around them, holding torches, and surrounded them.

"You still want to escape?" It was still the same young officer who had a bow and arrow in his hand, "Whoever dares to move, my bow and arrow will be merciless." ”

Dong also stumbled and said: "It's over, it's negligent!" In this village, there must be a tunnel leading to here! ”

"Hahaha!" The young officer laughed, "You're not stupid. Since you know the way, I'll tell you, anyway, you are also dying people! My soldiers, usually on guard, are in this tunnel. We have heard and seen everything you have just done. Then he ordered the soldiers: "Take them back to prison and kill them all tomorrow!" ”

Several people were all tied up and escorted back to the cell. Sister-in-law Jiang only then realized that the rivers and lakes are sinister, and it is indeed true. The first time they were arrested, it was without any warning beforehand, it turned out that there were tunnels in the woods!

Everyone was tied to a pillar, far apart, and faces could barely be seen in the dark, but their mouths were not gagged.

Dong also grinned again: "Hot sister, you really don't blame me this time." They are so well ambushed that we can't get out of it. Feed! This sister," he turned in the direction of Sister-in-law Jiang, "I'll call you the eldest sister!" I think we are close in age, so we should be able to talk. Brother is very sorry, I couldn't save you from the city, you don't complain about brother, right? ”

Ah Xiang sneered, full of sarcasm.

Sister-in-law Jiang thought, Ah Xiang's expectations were good, he really aimed at himself, why can't he be romantic?

"Brother," Sister-in-law Jiang pretended to be a delicate little woman and shouted. Listening to his sweet voice, I also feel disgusting, but I can't help acting. "You said brother, can we still live?"

Dong also said: "I really don't know what to do this time. Let me tell you, big sister, although your face is black, you can see that you are a standard beauty. Brother likes your type of beauty. If there is an afterlife and my brother wants to marry you, can you marry my brother? ”

Sister-in-law Jiang pretended to cry: "Can there be an afterlife?" ”

"Of course there is! Brother, as long as you say a word, can you marry brother? ”

"But we don't know each other well, huh?"

"What do you mean by being unfamiliar? As long as you marry your brother, you will be ripe. Brother will be very good to you, earn money for you during the day, and warm the bed for you at night......" The more Dong Ye said, the more obscene he became, "Brother will wait for people......"

"Stop!" Ah Xiang shouted, "The surname is Tian, if you talk nonsense again, I will have a chance to gelding you!" ”

Dongya cried in his voice, but secretly he was laughing proudly, "Hot sister, you are still young, and you don't understand adult things." Let me tell you, this love between a man and a woman, it's like a sticky cake......"

Sister-in-law Jiang suddenly changed her face, gritted her teeth and said, "The surname is Tian, didn't you hear that my aunt and grandmother were teasing you?" If you dare to say it again, I will really help Ah Xiangqiang you! ”

"Huh?" Dong was also surprised, he didn't expect that Sister-in-law Jiang, who was angry just now, would become a little vicious in an instant. Even Sister-in-law Jiang herself was surprised: how could she say such vicious words?

She quietly burst into tears, and she couldn't believe that she, who had always been grieving, would harden her heart.

She heard Ah Xiang's praise for her: "Good job! ”

Outside the house, the soldiers standing guard were impatient: "If you shout again, shut your mouth!" ”

The gag was so uncomfortable that the three of them were silent.

The next morning, the door of the cell was opened, and the three men were dragged out of the room, and without even giving them food before they died, they were dragged to the east end of the village and town under the earthen platform, where they knelt there, and behind them were the woods. The young officer stood majestically on the earthen platform and addressed the crowd that almost poured out of the village. The gist of it is how these three people are guilty of the crime, Ah Xiang and Sister-in-law Jiang are the murderers, and Dong is also an accomplice, and they should be beheaded according to the law.

Dong also shouted: "It's okay for you to kill your head, but you have to let us go with a full stomach, right?" ”

One soldier reprimanded: "For a thief like you, still make a request? ”

Higashi also shouted: "This is not fair! Who doesn't crawl out of a mother's belly? Let us go hungry, just don't accept it! ”

A soldier stepped forward and kicked him: "You just won't be fed!" ”

The common people obviously have no sympathy for the murderers, and they condemn them one after another, and approve of not being fed. Sister-in-law Jiang lowered her head at first. She felt that Ah Xiang was full of confidence yesterday and said that she could escape, but now why is there no movement? Could it be that Ah Xiang just said it casually? Now that Dong is also making trouble, she should go along with it.

Sister-in-law Jiang turned her head to look at Ah Xiang, Ah Xiang's face was expressionless, and her eyes only looked at the crowd fixedly. Sister-in-law Jiang looked at the crowd and was suddenly taken aback. She saw a familiar face! It was Miran , Erdan, and Masako, all dressed in shabby people's clothes, standing in the crowd. Why did they come, did they come to save themselves?
