Gradually, the rain stopped.

A brilliant rainbow appeared in the sky.

The air was damp, and the sunlight spilled through the cracks in the roof onto the straw stacks on the ground.

Lin tried to stand up, but found that the injury on his leg was actually more serious than he had imagined, and he couldn't take a step for a while; Qiao Liang was quite skillful in extinguishing the fire and cleaning up the ashes on the ground, put on a rough cloth bag and planned to go out.

"Where are you going?" Lin asked.

"Don't worry! I won't report you, young master. Qiao Liang said while sorting out the things to be put in the cloth bag: "The rain has stopped, and the lame gentleman in the west of the village will almost come out to give a lecture under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village. After finishing speaking, Qiao Liang remembered something again, so he glanced at Lin again and instructed: "Don't wander around, and don't let people see your appearance, otherwise if someone sees and denounces you, no one will be able to save you!" ”

"Got it, you can go with peace of mind!" Lin smiled kindly, but he felt a little crying and laughing in his heart: what does he look like in the eyes of this child? A kid who doesn't understand anything?

But the reality is that this child is psychologically precocious!

Qiao Liang nodded, and then went out with peace of mind.

However, although Lin promised Qiao Liang not to wander around, in fact, he quietly sneaked out to check the situation nearby.

But because Lin's legs and feet were really inconvenient, he could only look casually around the shack. Fortunately, the neighborhood was deserted, there were few people coming and going, and the occasional haunts were only some dirty-clad children, so Lin's whereabouts did not attract people's attention.

Lin felt that those children were likely to be displaced and homeless orphans like Qiao Liang. They found an abandoned house in the nearby area to live in, even if they had a "home" to shelter from the wind and rain. It's just that these children don't seem to have Qiao Liang's good mental outlook, and most of their eyes are godless, and they probably spend their days in a state of confusion every day, not knowing what the direction of life is.

Thinking of this, Lin looked up at the houses in the vicinity, most of them were dilapidated and dirty, and many of them still smelled of foul odor. Although Qiao Liang's house is also very simple, all the damaged places have been carefully repaired, and the ground has been carefully paved with straw, which looks very neat and clean in comparison.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Liang, this kid lives quite exquisitely! Among these children, it can be described as "outlierous". What would such a self-disciplined and gifted child be like if he could have a good birth background?

Thinking of this, maybe even Lin himself didn't notice it, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the outside of the housing complex, which sounded like there were quite a few people, very much like patrolling soldiers. In order to avoid directly meeting them, Lin hurriedly dragged his sick leg to Qiao Liang's house to hide, and quickly closed the door.

The result was really as Lin expected, the people who came were really patrolling soldiers. It's just that the discipline in the border area of the country of the stream is loose, and the domestic atmosphere has always been dead, so these patrol members give people the feeling that they are completely different from Lei Zhe and others in Shuangyue City, they are lazy and lazy, and even the clothes are varied, and there is no uniform dress.

Through the hidden gate, Lin could clearly see the situation outside, and the temperament of the captain in the patrol team seemed to be okay, and the rest were all crooked melons and cracked dates.

The captain was a man who looked to be in his thirties, well-looking, well-dressed, and looked like a man of status, and most likely a nobleman, because all the people around him were around him and patting him vigorously. In the face of the flattery of the players, the captain always kept a straight face and did not give them a good look, giving people a rather cold feeling.

Although there is nothing wrong with the captain's performance, and it can even be said to be a clear stream in this group, Lin still doesn't like this guy intuitively, because the feeling of this captain makes Lin feel a little uncomfortable.

Syllable!

The patrol kicked open the door of a room with one kick, and a short and fat guy rushed up and punched a child who lived inside, and said viciously: "Is that wanted murderer hidden by you?" He was seen brought here by a small child! ”

The child struggled in pain and said in horror: "No! I really haven't seen him! The child's voice trembled violently, and he was obviously quite frightened.

Looking at this heart-wrenching scene, Lin subconsciously clenched his fists. But he knew that he couldn't reveal his whereabouts now, otherwise it would be even more difficult for him to return to the capital.

But Humpty Dumpty didn't give up, and shouted rather viciously, "Keep searching for me!" Don't miss every house here, be sure to find that guy! ”

After listening to the fat man's words, the patrol immediately dispersed, and they searched this area of the house in a rage, and the things in the house were all smashed to pieces, and the house was only robbed, leaving only a mess.

The children did not dare to resist this group of savage adults at all, and could only huddle together in a group of frightened huddles and sob.

Lin cautiously observed the movement outside, and then saw that the captain suddenly cast his eyes on the hidden door where he was hiding, and showed a thoughtful expression.

Lin subconsciously felt a tight heart, and secretly felt that it was not good: if this situation continues, it will only be a matter of time before Qiao Liang is found here, and he will be exposed soon!

Then Lin saw that the Humpty Dumpty man from before came to the captain's side, and at the same time showed a flattering smile: "Captain, do you want to search that house?" ”

A cold light suddenly flashed in the captain's eyes, but the expression on his face became complicated. He scolded in a low voice, "Fool! Know what you're talking about! ”

The fat man was startled, and hurriedly slapped himself, and said with a smile: "Captain, you will spare me this time!" It's that I don't have the eyes to talk nonsense, and I won't dare next time! ”

Captain Tie Qing didn't speak, just stood in place and waited for the others to finish searching.

Qiao Liang's house had never been entered from beginning to end, which made Lin suddenly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Since there is no one here, presumably the wicked man has fled to other places, let's go elsewhere to see the situation." The captain said impatiently, and everyone else flattered and agreed, and soon left in a hurry, and no one cared about the life or death of these children.
