Section B, Chapter 11: The Old Beggar (Lusha)

There are so many caves, which one should you choose...... Suddenly recalling what Vicol had told him, and was thinking about whether her small strength was really unsuitable for using a blunt weapon like a cane, Lusa thought in a trance: I remember that the snow crow said that the puppy ran past him. And where he sits is......

South of town. And also sat facing north.

It can be assumed that the puppy is running straight towards the owner. The cave should be open to the south gate!

A cave at the south gate opening within this pine forest...... After looking for half a minute, Lusa's eyes lit up: there were three of them. And one has just been there, and the other is too close to the town.

"Sister, go to that cave. Patting the horse on the head, Lusala tightened the reins and tugged to the left. The mount understood and flew to the target point with Lusha in tow. Soon, the two successfully landed.

"Looks like this cave is so deep...... Although the road was wide, it was only high enough to allow a carriage to enter. Vicor could see this from the wear and tear on his hat. With a sigh of emotion, Lucina turned back into her human form after her sister jumped off the horse.

"There are lights. After walking some distance in the cave, Lusa looked at the light around the corner and became wary. Clenching the cane in her right hand, Lusha pulled out a steam gun in her left hand and cautiously poked her head out.

A man dressed as a beggar in tattered clothes was sitting in front of a locked iron door munching on bread. There was an oil lamp beside him, and the shade was completely blackened.

Unexpectedly, the Aiya sisters were dumbfounded. Finally, the beggar glanced at this side and began to talk: "What are you doing?"

"Let's take a look. Deciding to tell a lie, Lucina spoke first, "Hmm...... What are you doing here, is your home here?"

"I'm just looking at a door. I live here almost every day. It's going to be a month to do this. Pointing to the mattress sitting under him, the beggar said dryly, "They have given a lot of money, but they want me not to let anyone go." ”

"Oh......" my sister's gaze visibly shifted to the ground: there were a lot of pine needles and mud.

Remember the dead man's boots were on the soles of these things? Lusara lowered her hood and looked at the beggar through the gap under the brim.

"Can you open the door? We want to go inside. Lucina immediately asked, "The guards asked us to come, and the man who hired you to watch the carriage is a thief." We saw him go into the cave with our own eyes. ”

"Thieves, that's my business. If you get the money, you have to do it well. Unmoved at all, the beggar hiccuped, and swept the two Ayas with squinting eyes: "The young lady with the hood, you must be more eye-catching, right?" Take it off and let me see it." ”

“......。 Without a response, Lutha looked at the man quietly and raised her cane. When the beggar saw this, he burst out laughing: "What, you still want to threaten me?"

"What's the matter with threatening you?" Lucina was unhappy at first: "You hurry up and open the door, or you will have to be treated as an accomplice." ”

"Miss, you have a very loud mouth. I've said it in the front, since I took other people's money, I have to do something for him. I may seem undignified, but I am also very important about credibility and principles. It's useless for you to take money and bribe. Snorting, the beggar had no intention of retreating: "This door is not locked, but I will block it here." What can you do? With you two children with thin arms and legs, you can't pull me for five or six. ”

"Hmph, bribe us with money?!" Lucina patted her chest and waved her arms in awe-inspiring manners: "You can't help but look down on us too much!"

Lusa has always been disgusted by the practice of asking for money to solve problems without communication.

"How can we have any money for you? Do I look rich?" to Lusa's surprise, her sister was angry about such a question.

"No matter how you look at it. Your clothes are pure silk, and I know them very well. Gazing at Lusha's short skirt, the beggar's expression looked very unbeaten: "You are both Aya...... Is it convenient for men to wear so little? How about playing with me?"

Isn't it normal for Aya to wear less clothes, and they don't understand how hard it is to take care of flying ability and skin sensitivity...... What a disgusting man...... Taking a step back in disgust, before Lusa could say anything, the beggar coughed and resumed his serious expression: "Okay, I'm not joking with you." I am a man who is not short of ambitions, and I will definitely do what I promised. I won't let you pass. ”

"So what? I can wait here for him to come out. That guy is driving a carriage, can't he hide in it all the time?" Pouting disdainfully, Lucina blocked Lusa behind her, "It doesn't matter if you don't get through the iron gate or not." ”

"Then you're going to wait? This cave has a double exit. Secretly smiling, the beggar gave a startling hint: "He won't go from here, two young ladies." I can tell you that the other exit is under one of the largest pine trees in the vicinity. ”

"Huh?" Lucina asked suspiciously, "Why are you telling us this?"

"Because my employer is a thief. That certainly can't indulge him. To be honest, I thought he was suspicious before. The beggar coughed and broke the bread carelessly: "Go quickly, and return all the stolen goods to the townspeople." The people there are good people...... You can give me a lot of relief for this old man. ”

"And what about your principles and work ethic?" Lucina asked, "just threw it away?"

"I'm principled! You don't want to go through this door, it's my employer's account. With a treacherous smile, the beggar said, "But he didn't say that he couldn't tell others to hide his exit." ”

"Is that okay?" After a moment's pause, Lucina hurriedly thanked her and pulled her sister to run. But Rusa shook her head, took out a few rogies from her pocket (one equal to ten fars), trotted over to the man and handed them to him: "This, this is a thank you gift. ”

"Ask for a few words of information, as for taking this money?" Laughing and shaking his head, the man gave a negative response: "Don't, don't." ”

However, after Lusha insisted on giving it for a while, the man stopped refusing and accepted the coin. But before Aya turned to leave, he suddenly approached the girl mysteriously and whispered, "Thank you, Miss." But I'll give you a word of advice......"

“...... Don't think this town is safe. There are so many wicked people like me who hide their appearances. Watch out for the lighthouse's watchers. ”
