Chapter 32: Doom
Seeing that the sky had darkened, Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi seemed to have forgotten about the mysterious power in the ravine, since they were locked in this room, no one came to look for them again, not even interrogation, even the guy who guarded the door of the house didn't know when he left, and he had long since disappeared......
This made Ah Zi, who was originally impetuous, even more worried, she kept pacing, kept paying attention to the door of the house, and kept peeking out of the house through the cracks in the logs, only to see that there would be people dressed as farmers coming and going in the yard from time to time, but she didn't know what these people were doing, and she didn't know the true identity of these people, but it was certain that they were definitely not farmers who farmed.
"Boss," Ah Zi scratched her ears and cheeks, stood in front of Qiao Xiaojing, pointed to the direction of the window and said, "Look at it, what is the matter with these people, they locked us up here, no one pays attention to us, are we left to fend for ourselves?"
"What, what's wrong?" Qiao Xiaojing's thoughts didn't seem to be at the same point as Ah Zi, Ah Zi was very excited to vent her emotions and asked questions impassionedly, but Qiao Xiaojing looked confused.
"Boss," Ah Zi took a deep breath, approached Qiao Xiaojing, stared at Qiao Xiaojing with the help of the faint light, and sighed puzzledly, "You, what's wrong with you, is it because of the evil spirit?"
"What are these words?" Qiao Xiaojing was a little unhappy.
"Slip of the tongue. Ah Zi felt that her words were a little excessive, she smiled faintly, and then her face became serious again, she said, "Boss, it's not that I can't hold my breath, you have also seen it, these inexplicable people have locked us up in this damp and cold house, no, this house is leaking everywhere, and it is dark and not slippery, no matter if you don't ask, even the person guarding the door is gone, what do they mean, do they want us to die here like this?"
"I think it's a good thing," Qiao Xiaojing motioned for Ah Zi to sit down, and then said, "It's much better than torturing me endlessly, at least we're safe and safe now." ”
"What you say," Ah Zi suddenly stood up, stared at Qiao Xiaojing and said, "I don't understand, are we here to take refuge? We have business, we don't need this kind of peace, boss, what's wrong with you, since you entered this room, I think, I feel like you've changed as a person, what's wrong with you?"
"You sit down first," Qiao Xiaojing pulled Ah Zi to sit down, and whispered to Ah Zi, "Don't get excited, listen to me, the reason why I didn't say much after I came in was not that I wasn't in a hurry, nothing else, but I just used this time to think about what happened after I came here, I don't think there's anything bad about them treating us like this......
When Ah Zi heard this, she wanted to stand up again, and wanted to express her opinion, but Qiao Xiaojing grabbed her, let out a sigh and said, "Can you listen to me finish talking first?"
"Okay, you say. ”
"No matter," Qiao Xiaojing glared at Ah Zi, and then said, "What do you have to say, wait for me to finish speaking, okay? We came here by mistake and were arrested by these inexplicable people, not to mention whether there is the mysterious person we are looking for among these people, judging from the current situation, these people are not bad people, let alone bandits, you admit this?!"
"I'm not as optimistic as you are for the time being. Ah Zi's tone was lukewarm.
"You don't want to think about it," Qiao Xiaojing said, "If these people are bandits, you won't have never seen what bandits look like, will we still stay in this palm-sized room so quietly, not to mention that we are still women?"
"That's right. ”
"From the time we got here," Qiao Xiaojing said, "no one here has made it difficult for us, at least no one has done anything excessive--- although they have locked us up, they have not taken extreme punishment against us, so I think they should be similar to us--- they are a revolutionary team with faith and quality, I can guarantee that there is no problem with this judgment." ”
"You mean...... Ah Zi suddenly grabbed Qiao Xiaojing's hand and said excitedly, "You mean we found the right one, that mysterious person should be in this team?"
"This ---" Qiao Xiaojing paused, shook her head and said, "To be honest, I'm not sure about this, after all, we haven't found that mysterious person yet." Not only that, but they didn't even see the ponies we had fought with, and there weren't many people we saw along the way, but none of them were familiar with each other. ”
Speaking of this, Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi felt heavy again, stopped making a sound, and sat silently in the dark room......
At this time, the old woman of Sai Xi Shi Tofu Workshop stood at the mouth of the alley and looked around, the skirt around her waist was lifted by the strong wind, and it made a noise, like a small flag pinned to her waist, she didn't seem to be aware of this, and always looked into the distance.
Whenever she found someone walking towards the alley, the woman would hunch over and run towards the tofu shop, seemingly not wanting to delay the business, but in fact she was to see where the people who entered the alley were going, after all, she hid too many secrets in the tofu shop that could not be known to outsiders, and it was her duty and responsibility to keep these secrets.
What's the matter, it's already dark, Xiaojing and Ah Zi haven't come back, Cuiyu and they should have come back, but they can't see their figures...... The old woman repeated these words, repeating the road from the tofu factory to the mouth of the alley, and I don't know how many times she repeated the words full of concern, and how many times she repeated the seemingly short passage, but now it is a little long......
In fact, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the devils, when night fell, they were already ready to close the stall and go home, but at this moment, a few drunken devils came, supported each other, and staggered to Cuiyu, one of the devils grabbed the sachet on the jade stall, smelled it, and asked in broken Chinese: "Why isn't your sachet fragrant?"
"Hui Taijun," Cuiyu knew that this stall was too close to the Devil Gendarmerie Headquarters, and if there was a dispute or conflict, it would inevitably attract more devils, which would undoubtedly cause trouble, and at the same time, it was also possible that she could no longer set up a stall here, and she could not track down the addict Fugen, let alone understand the movements of the devil through Fugen, so she pretended to be very scared and said timidly, "This sachet is scented, it may be that Taijun has drunk, and when the wine is over, he will definitely be able to smell the fragrance." ”
"You mean the nose doesn't work, do you?" the devil suddenly became angry and yelled at Jade.
"Taijun is angry," Cuiyu lowered her head, hunched her waist, and hurriedly confessed to Taijun, "Taijun is angry, you don't care about villains, I haven't seen the world and can't speak, how can I dare to say that Taijun's nose is not good? Since you haven't smelled the fragrance, it means that my sachet is not fragrant." ”
"Haha......" The devil pointed to the trembling jade, looked at the devils left and right, and laughed proudly, and then the other devils also laughed, and after some shameless teasing, the devil said, "Look at it, she actually said that her sachet is not fragrant, since the sachet is not fragrant, then why do you call it a sachet?"
"This ......" Cuiyu didn't expect this devil to ask such a question, and she was nervous for a while, not knowing how to deal with it.
"Idiot," Dazhi not far away saw that the situation was not good, hurriedly put the burden on the base of the wall, rushed over, slapped Cuiyu's back, and scolded, "Taijun can stand in front of your stall, this is your blessing and creation, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Taijun?"
Cuiyu nodded and confessed according to Dazhi's meaning......
"Taijun," Dazhi said to the devil with a smile on his face, "Let me make you laugh, this girl doesn't know anything except being able to eat, don't pay attention to her." If you like this sachet, it's okay, I'll give you one for each of you...... As long as Taijun is happy, we are happy...... It's our pleasure that you can like our stuff!"
"Roaring!" Roaring ...... "Dazhi gave each of these drunkards a sachet, and these devils invariably put the sachet on their noses, and said to Dazhi while smelling it, "Yours is a big good citizen......
"Thank you, Taijun!" Dazhi clasped his hands into fists and said while bowing, "It's been awarded, Taijun has been awarded, we have always been great good citizens." It's getting late, ladies and gentlemen, please go back, please go slowly, we have to go home, too......"
The devils supported each other, like lonely boats on the waves, swaying from side to side, staggering away from the jade stall, staggering towards the gendarmerie headquarters, each holding a sachet in his hand.
"Hurry up!" Dazhi picked up his own burden and persuaded Cuiyu, "These devils have entered the gendarmerie headquarters, and once the rest of the devils see the sachet in their hands, they will definitely chase them out and ask for the sachet, the wolf has more meat and less meat, and there will definitely be trouble." ”
Cuiyu and Dazhi trotted all the way through the two streets, it was dark everywhere, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road, and Cuiyu suddenly said to Dazhi: "Dazhi, I see that you kid really wants to rebel!"
"I," Dazhi stumbled, "I'm all here to fool the devil, to avoid trouble, you will definitely forgive me, right?"
"Forgive you?" Cuiyu gritted her teeth and said, "Dream! Even if you beat me, you dare to scold me in front of the devil, humiliate me, and say that I only know what to eat, and I don't know anything except eating......"
"I, I, I," Dazhi didn't dare to listen to Cuiyu anymore, and stumbled and said, "I was also in a hurry at the time, in order to prevent the devil from hurting you, I said it casually, it's nonsense, you can't go to your heart!"
"I don't care," Jade said, "You wait for me, I'll write this account down for you first, and I'll clean ......you up when I think about how to clean you up."
"Why did you come back?" While speaking, Cuiyu and Dazhi had already returned to the mouth of the alley, and the old woman had closed the tofu shop, waiting anxiously at the mouth of the alley alone, and was surprised and a little complaining when she saw Cuiyu and Dazhi coming back.
"What are you doing standing here?" asked Jade and Dazhi in unison.
"What about Xiaojing and Ah Zi?" the old woman did not answer Cuiyu's question, of course, from her question, she had already heard the reason why she was standing at the mouth of the alley.
"Haven't they come back yet?" Jade and Dazhi glanced at each other and took a deep breath.
In fact, at this moment, Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi are also thinking about Cuiyu and Dazhi.
