The bearded man came out of the market from the intersection in front, I said to Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, you go back to the inn and call someone, I will leave a mark along the way, let them follow to find it", Xiaolan agreed to go back, because he was afraid that he would find out that we were just following from a distance, he walked on the trail and we were not familiar with the road several times and almost lost, I left a count along the road, this mark is still in Beijing to walk around the alley and draw at the same time, Xiaolan knows, very simple to draw a cross in a circle, Finally, the bearded man turned into a dead end, entered the innermost courtyard, and never came out again.
Xuan Ye and I walked forward to check, the door was up, I attached to the door and listened, there was a faint cry of a child inside, I thought to myself that this must be their den of child abduction, I don't know what the situation is, I don't know how many people there are, I pull Xuan Ye to go out of the alley and wait for someone to come over, after all, there are only two of us, the time should be almost up, before I can take a step, the door of the courtyard next to me opened, the door in front of me also opened, six or seven men came out of the two doors tall, short, fat, thin, Ages ranging from twenty to forty or fifty years old, with sticks in their hands, and two knives with chopping wood, blocked our way, among them was the bearded man just now, Xuan Ye quietly protected me behind him, and the bearded man made a gesture of please: "The two of you have followed me all the way, you must be tired, why don't you please go in and rest for a while and have a cup of tea!" ”
If you don't go in, you can't do it! I thought to myself, why haven't the two guards come yet? If this really starts, we won't suffer! I just heard Xuan Ye say: "No need, we are not tired, so we won't bother you", said and pulled me up and left, these people didn't mean to let us go at all, the bearded man said angrily: "Hmph! Thinking beautifully, since you know what we are doing, you don't want to leave, don't you want us to let you go out and report to the officials to arrest us? The bearded man then said: "If you obediently follow us in, maybe there is a way to live, otherwise, hum, don't blame us for being polite", Xuan Ye sneered: "Then it depends on whether you have this ability", as he said Fei, he kicked down a tall and thin man who was blocking the way.
The rest of the people rushed up as soon as they saw that their companions had suffered a loss, they fought in a disorderly manner, presumably they didn't know kung fu, but they had sticks and knives in their hands, Xuan Ye he still had to protect me, I was afraid that he would suffer a loss and shouted: "You don't have to worry about me, I can protect myself", he kicked the knife in one person's hand, and snatched a stick from another person's hand, the situation reversed, probably in a few minutes those people had to be beaten down, Xuan Ye still protected me behind him, I patronized and looked in front of me and didn't notice that someone came behind me, When I smelled a scent, it was already a little bad, a hand holding a handkerchief reached out from behind my head to cover my mouth and nose, I held my breath and turned around, grabbed her arm with both hands and pushed her body forward, and gave her an over-the-shoulder fall, only to hear: "Oops", I fell to the ground by a woman in her thirties, before she could react, I quickly pulled the handkerchief from her hand to cover her mouth and nose, only a few seconds before she fainted.
Seeing that something happened to me, Xuan Ye looked at me and shouted, "Qing'er, are you okay?" I also inhaled some powder just now, and I had no strength after I finished all this, I said weakly: "It's okay", and sat down on the ground along the wall, my head was also a little dizzy, I thought to myself that if there was another person at this time, I couldn't help it, I looked at Xuan Ye with my strong spirit, and the two or three people who had not been beaten down seemed to know some kung fu, plus what happened just now distracted Xuan Ye, and let them take advantage of it, Xuan Ye's back was beaten, but fortunately, at this time, Dongting came with a guard, Xuan Ye retreated, he came to my side and hugged me and said, "Qing'er, are you okay?" I said, "It's okay, it's just a little *", probably feeling safe, and fainted as soon as I relaxed after speaking.
When I woke up, I found that I had already returned to the inn, Xiaolan saw that I woke up and hurriedly helped me sit up, turned around and poured me a glass of water, I took the water and drank, "What time is it now?" Xiaolan took the cup from my hand and said, "Just after noon, the slave went to reply to the master and said that Miss is awake, Miss is not hungry, I will go to the kitchen to ask for something to eat", I said: "Well, you go!" Xiaolan withdrew when she heard this, I got up and got out of bed, my body was still a little sore, fortunately I didn't inhale too much*, Guan Heng kidnapped me twice before*, I knew the fragrance, so I reacted when the woman didn't get my hands on it, I sat down at the table and poured myself a glass of water, and before I finished drinking Xuan Ye, I pushed the door in, he came to me and sat down and asked with concern: "How do you feel?" Is there anything wrong with it? I smiled and said, "Where is it so squeamish, I'm fine", I poured him a glass of water and asked, "What about you?" Are you okay too? I saw the stick hit him on the back, and he said, "I'm fine, it's nothing."
When I heard him say this, I relieved myself and asked, "What about those individuals?" Have you caught them all? He said: "In addition to those men, or three women, they have all been arrested and sent to the official, and I have asked Mingzhu to issue a will to deal with them strictly", I asked again: "What about the child?" How many kids are there in the yard? He said with a serious expression: "In addition to today's two big ones, there are a total of thirteen children, all of whom are three or four years old, and these children will be sent away and sold early tomorrow morning", I sighed: "Fortunately, we found out, otherwise these children are too pitiful", and then I asked: "What about the sister-in-law who sold the children today?" How is she? He said: "Mingzhu has already asked a doctor to show her, it is not a serious illness, she has already prescribed medicine, and now she is resting in another room, and the children have been sent back to her, you can rest assured!" ”
Xiaolan brought the food, which was relatively light, and I asked Xuan Ye, "You don't need to eat, do you?" Let's do it together! After serving two bowls of rice, Xuan Ye said to Xiaolan: "You go out first!" Something called you", Xiaolan retreated and closed the door when she heard this, and I said, "What's the matter, is there anything else to say?" He picked up the bowl and said seriously: "It's okay, I just don't want someone to disturb you and me alone", I heard that it was really difficult to talk, so I had to bury my head in eating.
