Chapter 7 Disaster is coming
This day seemed to be an unprecedented exertion, and Shen Shangluo's mind had been thinking about Fang Cai's affairs.
The man didn't look like a man who owed money, and although the clothes on his body were ruined, they could still be seen to be of good quality.
And that dagger is also excellent, and I saw that his skills are also extremely good, how can such a person owe money?
So why would such a person be caught? Is it the enemy?
Before Shen Shangluo returned to his house, he heard a commotion from afar, just like he had left in the morning, the shouts of children and the reprimands of adults were intertwined, which was extremely harsh.
I don't know why, looking at the many people surrounding next door, Shen Shangluo was a little frightened, hasn't that group of people left yet?
She couldn't help but pause as she went home, looking at the door close at hand, she only felt terrifying, and there seemed to be a beast in front of her, waiting for the prey to be caught.
When Shen Shangluo was stunned, a pair of slightly rough hands grabbed her hand, and strode towards the house.
Li Qinglan's mother was also here, she saw Shen Shangluo outside the crowd from afar, and she was frightened when she looked at her, so she rushed over.
When the door behind him was closed by Aunt Li, Shen Shangluo came back to his senses, "Siniang, I ......"
Aunt Li shook her head, lowered her voice and said, "This matter must be a big trouble, you just stay in the house, don't let others see it." ”
Looking at Aunt Li's serious appearance, Shen Shangluo became more and more worried in his heart, "But the two female babies of the Lu family were taken away?" ”
Aunt Li frowned slightly, "It seems that you don't know today." ”
She patted the back of Shen Shangluo's hand, "I was going to leave with the two girls of the Lu family, but I heard that one of the people they caught ran away, and I concluded that he was still in Cloud Village and was in trouble!" ”
"Troubled? What about the village chief? ”
Aunt Li hated iron and couldn't make steel and sighed helplessly, "People are from the town, isn't this village chief still stammering?" You just have to hide from it, if someone sees a bad intention, that bastard village chief won't protect you. ”
Probably guessed the identity of those people, Shen Shangluo was sweating after all, and she asked cautiously: "Siniang, do you know what the identity of the person who ran away is?" ”
Aunt Li shook her head, "I don't know, it should be very important to look at this posture, now the people in the village have been called out to find someone, and they promised to give fifty taels of silver if they find it!" ”
When it came to five taels of silver, a gleam flashed in Aunt Li's eyes, presumably she also asked her uncle at home to find it.
Shen Shangluo pursed his lips, "What about Brother Ansheng?" Why haven't I seen him? ”
Aunt Li heard An Sheng's name from Shen Shangluo The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, looking at the smile in the corner of her eyes, Shen Shangluo already knew.
Presumably this Siniang is thinking about it again, but now is not the day to care about these days, that person doesn't know if he is still in Brother Ansheng's house, if someone finds out......
"Don't worry, the person who came gave An Sheng a tael of silver and asked An Sheng to go to the town to pick up their boss."
Their boss is coming over too? This matter doesn't seem to be as simple as I thought, I would have known that I wouldn't have intervened, but now it's too late to regret it.
While the two were talking, Aunt Li suddenly frowned, and she looked Shen Shangluo up and down strangely.
Shen Shangluo was stared at a little uncomfortable, and he was a little weak-hearted, "Siniang, why are you looking at me like this......"
Aunt Li looked behind her vigilantly, and after confirming that no one behind her pushed the door in, she pushed Shen Shangluo into the back room a little.
With a worried face, she stretched out her hand and touched Shen Shangluo's originally white and tender neck, "Why do you have a scar on your neck?" ”
When Aunt Li said this, Shen Shangluo was slightly stunned, when was he injured?
She reached out and touched her neck, and then there was a slight pain, and by the light outside, there was still a trace of dried blood on her fingertips.
Presumably this is what the man left when he strangled his neck, but he really didn't understand.
It's obviously a rag, how can there be a scar? Will it bleed?
She lowered her head in a bit of a panic, "Oh, I guess I went to the mountains today and accidentally got scratched by something." ”
Aunt Li obviously didn't believe it, but she didn't continue to ask.
She reached out and touched Shen Shangluo's hair, and said helplessly: "Be careful when you go out in the future, don't leave a scar on your body." ”
As if she was not at ease, she whispered: "Clean the blood stains on your clothes, so that people can't tell you when they see them." ”
After Aunt Li's reminder, Shen Shangluo found that the corners of his clothes were covered with blood, presumably the one who accidentally stained it.
She nodded again and again, but her heart became more and more nervous, "Siniang, I know." ”
Shen Shangluo knew in his heart how shrewd he was? Presumably she had guessed that this matter was connected, but she just didn't want to poke herself.
After a few simple explanations, Aunt Li left in a hurry, after all, there is also a little girl at home who is not worry-free.
Li Qinglan's little girl is not a person who can tell the situation clearly, maybe she will sneak out to "watch the excitement".
But looking at the lit bonfire not far from the next door, Shen Shangluo couldn't sleep.
After tossing and turning for a long time, there was a burst of hunger, and after Siniang said that, he even forgot that he hadn't eaten for a day.
But before Shen Shangluo got out of bed to find something to eat, he heard a burst of words coming from his door.
Shen Shangluo simply touched the door lightly, wanting to hear it clearly, but the two men at the door seemed to be coming for him.
"Are you sure you're in here?"
"Sure, I saw her walking in the direction of the carriage during the day."
"But I heard Lu Yingming say that she is just an orphan girl, how can she have the strength to smash the lock open?"
Listening to the words of the two, Shen Shangluo clearly heard his heartbeat in the dark night, and each one seemed to be announcing something.
The two people outside the door didn't seem to be sure, and beckoned to the other person, "You, come here, if you go in and search for no one, you just wait for me to kill you!" ”
The man seemed to be out of fear, and knelt down with a plop, "Two masters, how dare I deceive you!" Today's villain really sees it, it's her and the one named Ansheng! ”
This voice Shen Shangluo is naturally familiar with, of course it is the good village chief.
According to what Shen's father told him, he should also call the young village chief his eldest brother. When the village is small, there are relatives everywhere, but there is no family affection.
Listening to Liu Shun's words, Shen Shangluo fell into an ice cellar, his feet were so heavy that he couldn't take a step, and his whole person was like a stone statue that had lost consciousness.
If the conversation between the three of them was for fear of waking up themselves in the room, then the next voice was for fear that they wouldn't be able to hear it.
"What are you doing all the rage?! Take a look inside and you'll find out! ”
The sound was piercing, like a sudden thunder in the quiet of the night, and the air was filled with the smell of death.
The three of them obviously didn't even dare to come out, although they couldn't see what was happening outside, but Shen Shangluo seemed to see the appearance of the three of them standing on the side.
Immediately followed by a dry and unpleasant sound of pushing the fence, a chill appeared on the soles of Shen Shangluo's feet, and he retreated again and again.
"Bang!"
The wooden door let out a painful wail, and with a loud thud the bolt shattered, and the torches lit outside shone into the room, suddenly glaring.
Shen Shangluo raised his hand slightly to block his eyes, and saw between his fingers that the big man slowly put down his raised foot.
Under the extreme fear, Shen Shangluo seemed extremely calm, although his whole body was tense, but there was suddenly no trace of waves in his heart.
Looking at the burly man, Shen Shangluo narrowed his eyes slightly, "What are you doing?!" ”
The big man looked down at Shen Shangluo, who was pale, and didn't show too much expression, he was obviously scared to death, but he still had to pretend to be calm He saw a lot of people.
He just looked back at the two people behind him, "What are you doing in a daze, search!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
Then two slightly thin men came in and searched the small house.
Shen Shangluo glanced at Liu Shun, who didn't dare to step forward outside the door, and couldn't help revealing a trace of disdain in his eyes.
The house is almost immediately visible, Tibetan? It's a bit reluctant.
But fortunately, under Siniang's reminder, he had already changed the clothes, and now it is soaking in a wooden barrel, and he plans to clean it tomorrow.
The two of them quickly shook their heads and returned to the strong man's side, "Third brother, no." ”
The strong man was not annoyed, he just looked around, and then said in a deep voice: "You follow me out!" ”
These words were naturally said to Shen Shangluo.
Liu Shun trembled, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally just shrunk his shoulders, lowering his head and not daring to say anything.
Shen Shangluo's heart trembled, remembering the words of Fang Cai Siniang's explanation, and a trace of bad premonition passed in his heart.
This group of people do all kinds of evil, if they fall into their hands, they are afraid that they will be more than lucky, but what can they do now?
She stared at the strong man without squinting, "What are you doing?" In the middle of the night, I'm going to rest, and since you can't find the door, go out, it's always bad to stay in my house. ”
"Huh."
But the strong man didn't plan to have a good conversation with Shen Shangluo, but just stepped forward and grabbed Shen Shangluo's back collar, and directly lifted the thin Shen Shangluo up, and strode towards the door.
The strong man's sudden action frightened Shen Shangluo, but she only struggled for a moment and stopped moving, forcing herself to calm down.
Sensing that the person carrying it was no longer moving, the strong man bowed slightly, but he didn't say anything, just raised his thick eyebrows.
Liu Shun hurriedly followed, "Third brother, Luo Luo is just a child, what did you say you did to arrest her, if you can't find anyone, forget it!" ”
But these words were also taken back by Liu Shun because of a cold eye from the strong man, "Third brother...... You tap ......"
