Chapter 42: If you pick up the little girl
In a dark castle, in a windowless and dark room, a middle-aged man and a six-year-old girl hid in a corner. The man looked nervous, his eyes fixed on the crack in the door, constantly paying attention to the sounds outside the room. And the girl was very scared, closed her eyes, covered her ears, and hid in the man's arms.
Suddenly, there was the sound of restless footsteps outside, and the light of torches flickered through the cracks in the door of the room.
"Come on, check this room. Outside, a dozen men with knives gathered around the house, and the light of the fire shone on the dilapidated wooden door, and the fresh blood stains on it were clear.
With the constant sound of banging on the door, the little girl was terrified to the extreme, and her body trembled and curled up together. And the man also knew that a catastrophe was coming, and after a moment of hesitation, the man gritted his teeth and stood up, roared, and punched the wall behind him.
I saw that the wall of the ancient castle made of blue bricks actually pierced a big hole under this punch. And the man's arm began to bleed. But the man didn't stop, punching and punching the wall. After six punches, a large hole appeared in the wall that was one person high.
"Xiaoxi, don't be afraid, jump off here. The man picked up Xiaoxi and came to the entrance of the cave.
Through the entrance of the cave, Xiao Xi looked out in horror, and in the dark world, he could only hear the sound of heavy rain pouring down and the wind whistling, but he couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, a cyan lightning bolt pierced the sky and landed near the castle, accompanied by a shocking thunder, and the whole world flashed in front of the little girl.
This is the middle of the castle, up the castle is hidden in the dark clouds, and down, the ground is 500 stories away, and in the distance are low hills and raging rivers, black clouds cover the world to the edge of heaven and earth.
The wind tore at the little girl's thin clothes and loose hair.
The little girl screamed, quickly hugged the man's arm, and cried, "Don't!
At this time, the man shouted: "Listen, Xiaoxi, go to Zhishui Town, find Aqiu, and ask him to come and save us!"
As he spoke, another bolt of lightning fell, and the man's blood-dripping body and incomparably serious expression were deeply imprinted in the little girl's eyes, and the little girl was stunned.
She stopped crying, looked at the man in front of her, and then whispered, "Hmm." β
The man smiled slightly, then picked up the little girl and spun it around in place like throwing a stone cake.
"You must live!
I saw the man throw his hands and throw Xiao Xi out at a very fast speed.
Xiao Xi in the air had tears in his eyes, looked at the man who was getting farther and farther away from him, and suddenly cried: "Uncle Linββ!"
It's just that the voice is getting farther and farther away, getting longer and longer, and soon disappearing into the man's ears. The man withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the door.
More than a dozen soldiers with knives had already broken down the door. With a loud roar, the man rushed at the soldier and fought with him......
Eventually, the man fell to the ground, blood pouring silently from the back of his head, but with a slight smile on his face.
......
In Zhishui Town, a small town deep in the mountains, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a cloak and the word "xia" printed on his chest, strode down the street with a long knife.
The town is surrounded by streams, and a river runs through it every few streets. And the town is very peaceful, and there have been few criminal cases recently. If you really want to talk about it, it may only be that Granny Zhang's chickens were stolen by Wang Laohan's cat next door, or Uncle Wang's cattle ran into Li Er's wheat field and something like that.
The reason why the town is so peaceful is because of a catcher named Ah Qiu ten years ago. As long as the big and small things are checked by him, they will definitely come to light, and the handling is also convincing. The people of the town also have great respect for the man who brought them peace.
"Ah Qiu!" a little girl ran towards the man with the word "Xia" printed on his chest, with a cheerful smile on her face.
"Oh, it's Xiao Jia!" the man picked up the little girl and threw it upwards, causing the little girl to giggle.
"Xiaojia, don't get in the way of Uncle Aqiu's office, go back with your mother quickly. A young woman came over and whispered.
The woman's name is Wang Yuyun, a great beauty in Zhishui Town, but four years ago, her husband went out to do business and never came back, it is said that he died in an accident.
Then the woman said to Ah Qiu very politely: "My lord, it's hard work. β
"No, where. Ah Qiu put down the little girl, looked at the woman and said with some embarrassment.
The woman led Xiao Jia to the back, and on the way, Xiao Jia turned around and waved her hand to Ah Qiu, and shouted in a childish baby voice: "Ah Qiu, goodbye!"
"Goodbye!" Ah Qiu also waved his hand.
At this time, another panting catcher ran over and said breathlessly: "Ah Qiu, a little girl suddenly came to the yamen and said that she wanted to see you. β
Ah Qiu immediately rushed back to the yamen.
"We found her by the Zhishui River, when she was unconscious, and when she woke up, she cried out to see you. The colleague explained to Ah Qiu.
When I saw the little girl, I saw her curled up, hiding in the corner, shivering.
Ah Qiu suddenly felt that the little girl in front of her looked quite similar to Xiao Jia.
"I'm Ah Qiu. What's your name, what's going on?"
The little girl looked up at Ah Qiu, hesitated for a moment, and then said quickly, "Please, go and save Uncle Lin." β
"Uncle Lin, don't worry, speak slowly. β
Under the little girl's narration, Ah Qiu learned that the little girl's name was Yoo Hee, and she was sold into a quirky attic by her parents two months ago. Soon he was imprisoned in a dungeon, and although he didn't know what happened there, every day the people in the dungeon died painfully, and there were no corpses, which was extremely cruel. Later, she escaped with the help of a soldier who guarded the dungeon, but she didn't know the soldier's full name, only that he was called Uncle Lin, who was strong and strong.
At this time, Ah Qiu remembered Wang Yuyun's husband who had been missing for many years, Yang Lin. Yang Lin had always been known for his innate divine powers, and they had even hunted down criminals together.
Under detailed questioning, Ah Qiu learned that the attic was on an isolated island in the Yinshui River. And she fell from the 500-story castle into a big river, and it flowed with the river for three days before finally coming here.
Moreover, Ah Qiu also discovered that this frightened little girl actually has a strange ability, and her body can become very soft and elastic. That's why she didn't fall to her death when she fell from such a height.
After arranging the little girl, Ah Qiu packed her luggage and set off alone in the direction the little girl said. Halfway through, Ah Qiu saw an announcement, and the Hidden Water Juxian Pavilion mentioned in the announcement coincided with what Xiao Xi said. So, Ah Qiu hurried there.
