Chapter 146: Wanted
The young man came in too suddenly, and the old man who was counting the money stopped in a hurry, and one hurriedly stepped forward to protect the herbs, and said angrily to the young man: "You are not angry, have you lost money again, this is a guest's thing, and you can't move it." ”
The young man was much whiter than Li Ding, but his face was a little blue, and he looked tired, looking at the nervous old man and smiling disdainfully: "Aren't you counting the money?
Li Ding listened to the meaning of the young man's words, it should be the old man's family, and his heart that had just been alerted relaxed again.
"Other guests ask for a gold coin to sell, but I only have more than 800 yuan, which is not enough at all. The old man said hurriedly.
The young man was stunned for a moment, turned around and glanced at Li Ding, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked, "This herb, you really only need a gold coin." ”
Li Ding nodded and said, "I have already agreed with the old gentleman, but it doesn't matter if the old gentleman really can't take it out, more than 800 yuan is fine, I'm just in a hurry to use the money to buy a set of clothes." ”
Hearing this, both the old man and the young man looked surprised, and suddenly the young man turned and walked into a small door with a curtain hanging next to him, and when he came out again, he had a stack of dark gray clothes in his hand.
"Aren't you going to buy clothes, I just made a new set of clothes two years ago, and I haven't worn them once, so how about the remaining more than 100 yuan? The young man said.
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Li Ding to agree or not, he stuffed the clothes into Li Ding's hand, and walked to the table with another lunge, and before the old man came back to his senses, he had already grabbed the four herbs in his hand, and ran out of the medical hall reflexively.
Surprised, Li Ding felt that the young man's moving figure was somewhat like a cultivator, but he didn't notice the slightest fluctuation in his vitality.
The old man here has come back to his senses, and said with an embarrassed face: "Let the son see the smile, this is my uncompetitive grandson, my parents died early, I didn't take care of it, I only knew how to eat, drink and have fun one day, and gambled, and the original medical hall was secretly sold to him, I think this family will let him lose it all sooner or later." ”
Li Ding smiled bitterly, and suddenly understood why the old man's medical hall was open in such a remote place, but he didn't have any opinion on this. Looking at the clothes in his hand, Li Ding said, "Sir, can you find a place for me to change my clothes?"
A hint of apology flashed in the old man's originally radiant eyes, and he took Li Ding into the small door next to him, and Li Ding found that it turned out to be a small courtyard inside.
The old man pointed to a room and said, "This is my room, it's quite clean, son, please take care of yourself." ”
Li Ding walked in with his clothes, and saw that in the simple room, except for a carved wooden bed, which was a little outstanding, the rest of the tables, chairs, benches, and so on were very ordinary and old.
Li Ding changed his clothes and found that it fit well. Although that set of silver silk clothes caused him trouble, it was impossible to throw it away like this, and the surname Suo received the spiritual ring, and by the way, Li Ding took out four herbs with sufficient spiritual energy.
When he returned to the hospital, the old man had already packed the yuan coin in a cloth bag, and when he saw Li Ding come out, he handed it to him and said, "Although I don't know the identity of Childe, I feel that Childe is a good person, good luck to you." ”
Taking the money bag, Li Ding smiled faintly and said respectfully: "I also wish the old gentleman good luck." With that, he turned around and walked out of the hospital.
For Li Ding, this old man may just be a passerby on his way forward, and it doesn't help him much, but Li Ding is a person who values affection and righteousness, in this world full of deceit, the old man's honesty touched him, maybe this farewell will never be seen again, but Li Ding sincerely wishes the old man good luck.
The sky was already starting to darken, and it was about to get dark.
Li Ding entered the remote alley where no one walked before, and after walking for a long time, he found that there were forks on the left and right, and after a few more bends, Li Ding finally walked out and found that there was another street outside the exit, but the atmosphere outside was obviously a little abnormal.
The streets were unusually deserted, and amid the sound of stampedes, a group of officers and soldiers rushed from a distance.
Although he didn't know what the situation was, Li Ding turned around and hid in the alley again, jumped from one side of the fence into the courtyard of a house, and hid behind a flower garden.
"Quick...... The chief soldier confessed that every household should distribute portraits, and they should be searched carefully, and once they are found, they will be killed. Outside the wall, a thick voice came, and Li Ding subconsciously hid his body in the flower garden, because he clearly felt a series of vitality fluctuations, although it was not strong, but it made him feel dangerous.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
In a hurried knock on the door, a middle-aged man ran out of the room behind the courtyard, and after opening the door, he said to a young officer and soldier with a knife: "Isn't this Captain Wu, what's wrong today?"
"Hey...... Don't say it, have you seen this person?" Captain Wu took out a portrait to show the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man shook his head, and Captain Wu said again: "Be careful, I won't check if you are here, but close the door tightly, otherwise I won't be able to help if something happens." ”
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, seeing that Captain Wu turned around to leave, the middle-aged man said: "What the hell is this guy, it's so close, why don't you leave after dinner." ”
Captain Wu suddenly said angrily: "Eat a fart, you don't know that today is the day of the auction, while arresting people and helping to maintain order, if the chief soldier knows that I left my post without permission, I will eat in prison tomorrow." ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly retracted back into the door, quickly closed the door and trotted into the house.
Suspicious, Li Ding stayed outside after the noise gradually became farther away, then gently climbed out of the fence again, looked from the small alley, and saw that there were portraits posted on the wall every other break on the street. Because the portrait is not depicted by anyone else, but by himself.
The portrait was painted vividly, Li Ding felt that he was simply looking in the mirror, and cold sweat immediately flowed down. Looking at the words written under the portrait, Li Ding's head is even bigger.
"Today, there is a thief Li Ding, who sneaked into the city lord's mansion to kill people and steal countless goods, which is really a serious crime, and he is specially ordered to be wanted by the whole city. If anyone who reports the information, a reward of 1,000 gold, and if anyone arrests him, whether he lives or dies, a reward of 10,000 gold. ”
After reading this paragraph, Li Ding only felt that the blood was surging all over his body, he didn't even know who the city lord was, and when he went to his house to kill people and steal goods, Li Ding tore off the portrait and scolded: "Fart." ”
"Hehe, it seems that your kid's impulse is too big!" Xiao Dan suddenly laughed.
"Still laughing, how is this good?" Li Ding asked, Xiao Dan's words made him angry and calmed him down.
"What else can I do, find a way to sneak out of the city, you have also seen it, now those officers and soldiers are arresting you, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at you, and there is only a dead end to stay. Dan said.
That being said, it's not easy to sneak out of the city at this point. Not to mention anything else, now Li Ding doesn't even know where he is, regretting that he didn't ask the old man how to get out of the city before, Li Ding is thinking about how to get to the city gate.
But Li Ding was thinking about it, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the end of the street, and in desperation, he had to jump into the house just now again and hide.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the night seemed to come in an instant. When the footsteps were far away, Li Ding was about to get up and leave, but he heard a noise from behind the courtyard.
"Dead ghost, you still have to gamble at this time, you are not allowed to go out today no matter what, or I will die to show you. A woman's shouting and scolding came out......
"You mother-in-law, you still don't accept that you have long hair and short knowledge, didn't you listen to Captain Wu just now, what about arresting people outside, I think there must not be as many people as usual, and when there are fewer people, the opportunity will naturally become bigger, so you don't care, just wait for Lao Tzu to bring you money back." A man's voice said, and Li Ding heard that it was the middle-aged man who opened the door before.
"Money, money, money, every time you say that, but where is the money? Now it's a mess outside, don't go out and be caught as a thief." Now that your family has been gambled on by you, if you have three longs and two shorts, I really can't live. The woman cried.
"Bah, you crow's mouth, Lao Tzu is not so back, stop me and be careful of Lao Tzu whipping you. The middle-aged man scolded, accompanied by the sound of opening and closing the door, and only the crying of a woman remained behind the courtyard.
Li Ding raised his head cautiously and saw that the middle-aged man was gently opening the door a crack, and after looking at it, he quickly disappeared into the night.
"Follow that guy, he must have a way to evade the officers and soldiers. Dan's voice rang out.
Li Ding's expression was stunned, and he quickly followed, and found that the middle-aged man had flashed into an alley opposite, and this guy had chosen a small path all the way, which made Li Ding dizzy. Fortunately, Li Ding was as light as a swallow, and while ensuring that he was not discovered, he kept jumping on some walls and houses, otherwise he really couldn't keep up with the pace of middle-aged people.
Sure enough, he didn't meet any officers and soldiers along the way, but there were no lights in most places along the way, but Li Ding soon found that the middle-aged man's target seemed to be a tall building in the city, and the surrounding area of that building was brightly lit at this time.
Li Ding immediately realized that he couldn't keep up with him, because he had vaguely seen many officers and soldiers walking back and forth.
Stopping, Li Ding guessed what the middle-aged man would do, but saw that this guy was running directly over there, although he was stopped by a team of officers and soldiers, but those officers and soldiers immediately let him go.
Hidden in the night, Li Ding felt more and more that the streets around him were cold and terrible, but the area around the tall building seemed to be in full swing, but it was impossible for him to pass. Watching those officers and soldiers walking back and forth there, Li Ding suddenly had a strange idea.
Maybe the reason why I didn't meet any officers and soldiers along the way is because these guys have also come here. As soon as this idea came to him, Li Ding couldn't help but feel a burst of secret joy and looked at the dark street, maybe this was a good opportunity for him to escape.
Although he didn't know the direction, Li Ding knew that as long as he walked along the street, he would definitely be able to reach the city gate, and as long as he could go up the city wall, it would be very simple to get out of the city.
However, as soon as Li Ding moved his steps in the dark, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Little brother, it's easy to get lost when you walk at night?" )
