Chapter 21 Escape from the Tiger's Mouth

The back room was a little dim, the windows were tightly closed, and there was a strange smell in the air.

But the shopkeeper who led the way did not stop, and he stretched out his hand and pushed open another door, which was even darker, as if all light was cut off.

Shen Shangluo frowned a little uneasily, originally thinking that it was just a back room, but he didn't think that there was another layer of structure.

The shopkeeper's voice was a little ethereal, "Girl, be careful of what you are doing, don't stomp on yourself, these medicinal materials are very valuable, so they naturally have to be placed well." ”

It seemed that he was worried that Shen Shangluo was lost, and the shopkeeper also held up a lamp, "Come, girl, go ahead, be careful." ”

Shen Shangluo stood in place, and did not mean to continue to move forward, but had the intention of retreating, "Presumably the girl who is still waiting outside is in a hurry, since the shopkeeper doesn't have it, I won't force it, let's take a look at another house." ”

But before Shen Shangluo could take a step back, the shopkeeper was in front of Shen Shangluo, "Girl, don't worry, let's take a look first." ”

Some dim lights made the shopkeeper's face particularly eerie, and even his smile was oozing.

"No need, there's still someone waiting for me outside."

But the shopkeeper was still standing in front of Shen Shangluo, and he didn't mean to move away, and even took a step towards Shen Shangluo.

Shen Shangluo, who had long been on guard, clenched the dagger in his hand, and already had in his mind the reaction he should have when he pounced.

But the familiar pain in his neck came, Shen Shangluo snorted lightly, and his whole body fell softly on the cold ground.

In a trance, she seemed to see a man behind her, very tall, but she couldn't see clearly.

The only thing I could see clearly was the look of fear on the shopkeeper's grim face, as if he had seen something terrible.

Then came the sound of the candle falling to the ground, which was crisp and loud in Shen Shangluo's gradually trance-like consciousness.

Maybe it was just a moment of hard work, Shen Shangluo gradually sobered up, she was still weak, but her perception of the surroundings was extremely obvious.

She felt that someone was carrying her in one direction, and the road was very smooth, turning left and right, and there was even the sound of a man's breath in her ears.

Shen Shangluo's heart couldn't help sinking, she struggled for a while, her eyes finally opened slightly, and what she saw was Ah Heng's bloodstained face.

"Ah Heng?"

Seeing the person in his arms wake up, Ah Heng showed a soft smile, "Awake? ”

However, Ah Heng didn't mean to put Shen Shangluo down, but instead turned it upside down, making it close to his chest, "You can go out later." ”

Shen Shangluo subconsciously stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Ah Heng's neck, looking confused, "Didn't you go back?" How did you end up here? Also, why do you have so much blood on your body? ”

Saying that, Shen Shangluo was about to reach out to wipe the blood on his face, but Ah Heng turned his head and dodged, "Don't, dirty." ”

He put Shen Shangluo down, his face looked a little aggrieved, "If I don't show up, Luo Luo, you will be arrested......

Only then did Shen Shangluo notice that he was in a courtyard at this time, and the house on one side was burning with a raging fire, and a scorched figure running could be vaguely seen inside.

There was only the crackling sound of fire, the sound of many beams collapsing, the whirring wind, and the sound of life struggling in anger.

This scene was like the scene in her dream, the pupils on her body couldn't help but dilate suddenly, and the position of her heart seemed to pause.

She even suspected that she had misseen the shadows in the firelight, for she had not heard the wails of pain. But she saw it clearly, the figure desperately trying to survive, and she was constantly afraid to knock on the doors and windows.

But the doors and windows were closed, and they couldn't open them.

Shen Shangluo's body couldn't help but take a few steps forward, and he didn't know whether he wanted to see more clearly, or if he moved his mind to save them.

Ah Heng calmly buckled Shen Shangluo into his arms, stretched out his hand to cover her ears, and said softly: "Fortunately, they knocked over the candle flame and ignited the fabric at once, so I have a chance to bring you out." ”

"Don't worry, they've all escaped, it's fine."

But his eyes were full of smiles when he looked at the firelight, a cold and mocking smile, as if admiring a remarkable work of art.

Fortunately, I cut out their tongues, otherwise I would have made a lot of noise now, and I would have disturbed this timid little girl.

He patted Shen Shangluo's back again, "It's okay, let's get out of here quickly." ”

Shen Shangluo, who was frightened, lost her soul, and let Ah Heng take her hand and walk out, and when she came back to her senses, she was already standing safely at the end of the alley.

Looking back, the blazing flame could only see a little bit of fire, far away from the crackling sound and the whirring wind.

After standing for another quarter of an hour, Shen Shangluo was completely sober, she looked straight at the man in front of her, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

She still remembered that night Ah Heng said that he saved himself, but he set fire to those corpses, and his face was so calm at that time, as if he was doing a trivial matter.

A bold idea came to her mind, and she opened her lips slightly, "Ah Heng, you ......"

But before Shen Shangluo finished speaking, Ah Heng hugged her violently, as if he was frightened.

"Lolo, you're going to scare me to death, I almost thought I was going to die with you! Next time, I will never agree to you to do such a thing, that Yunyang is also unreliable! ”

His voice was a little hoarse, and even a little pitiful, and Shen Shangluo's heart softened all of a sudden.

Yes, Ah Heng has lost his previous memory, and that night must have been an instinctive reaction, and today's events may not have anything to do with him.

She said softly, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not fine." ”

She looked at Ah Heng's face and frowned slightly, "But what's the matter with the blood on your face?" ”

Asking and taking out a handkerchief to wipe it off, Ah Heng frowned slightly, and his eyes sank slightly, "Dirty ......"

But Shen Shangluo insisted on turning his face and began to wipe it carefully, "How can it be, it's not dirty at all." ”

In front of Shen Shangluo, Ah Heng seems to have always been a fragile person, maybe because of his previous experience, he seems to have always been vulnerable.

Even if it's just a sentence, just a small action, this big man seems to think a lot, and he will carefully speculate whether he is not doing well.

Ah Heng's expression became more and more aggrieved, "When I was looking for you, I accidentally fell into a secret room, which was full of blood, as if it was a place to store pork, and there was blood everywhere, and pieces of meat were piled up together......"

He was right, the secret room was full of blood, a piece of red and bright, and it was exceptionally beautiful, and there were slices of meat scraped off, the pieces were the same, and the texture was clear......

Hearing this, Shen Shangluo snorted and laughed, "You, you, how did you make it like this?" Let's go back and get some rest. ”

Ah Heng nodded, "Okay, this time I will definitely go back and wait for you obediently." ”

I don't know where Yunyang is now, I still have to look for it, don't have an accident, but there are so many strong men beside her, I don't think I need to worry about it.

Shen Shangluo said unhurriedly: "I'll go and talk to Yunyang, go back early, you don't have to stay longer, the matter of Shangyun Pavilion has not been resolved, it is not safe." ”

Although it was Shen Shangluo who was babbling and explaining all along, Ah Heng did not show impatience, but just nodded while smiling.

In the end, Yunyang found Shen Shangluo at the end of the alley, and when he saw Shen Shangluo, Yunyang's delicate face was relieved, but he cried all of a sudden.

She hugged Shen Shangluo tightly, "Luo Luo, I saw that the backyard was on fire, but I couldn't find you when I went in, I was scared to death!" ”

Seeing Yunyang crying after being nervous, Shen Shangluo felt a little distressed, a delicate beauty cried so much in front of him, how could he not feel distressed!

She hurriedly reassured: "It's okay, it's okay, I found my way out after the fire, it's my fault to scare you, you, you cry like this makes me uncomfortable." ”

Yunyang wiped his tears vigorously, but the tears couldn't be wiped away, and even his speech was intermittent, "Woo woo...... I...... I almost thought it was ...... Something happened to you...... I ......"

Seeing Yunyang's appearance, Shen Shangluo simply followed the example of Fang Cai Ah Heng and hugged Yunyang, "It's okay, it's okay, don't I stand in front of you in a good manner, what is Yunyang still worried about?" ”

After a while, Yunyang's mood finally stabilized a little, and she blinked her watery eyes, "I was careless today, and I will make amends to you." ”

Shen Shangluo smiled indifferently, "How can it be as serious as you say? I'm still worried about the medicinal herbs, and now I'm going to look for them again. ”

"Don't worry about this matter, I'll just look for it again, these things in Cloud Town are still there after all."

After adjusting his mood, Yun Yang looked at Shen Shangluo and hesitated slightly, "Luo Luo, are you really okay?" Did you bump into it? Are you hurt? ”

Shen Shangluo followed Yun Yang's gaze and looked down at his appearance, only to find that his skirt was stained with a lot of blood, presumably rubbed from Ah Heng's body.

She frowned slightly, and she didn't know if Ah Heng was injured, so she was frightened for a while, and she forgot to ask, really......

Seeing Shen Shangluo's distraction, Yun Yang's tone became more and more anxious, "But are you really injured?" I'm going to find a doctor for you, don't leave a scar! ”

Shen Shangluo grabbed Yunyang in time, and said with a light smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I must have accidentally rubbed it, I'm fine." ”

After explaining for a long time, Yunyang believed that Shen Shangluo was really fine, and her tone suddenly became rigorous, "Luo Luo, you must be careful after today, although this incident has nothing to do with you, but according to Shang Yunge's temperament, they will definitely not let you go, I don't care, and they don't dare to touch me, but you are different, be careful." ”

Shen Shangluo nodded, he naturally understood this, "I know, I want to get closer to you." ”

Have your own confidence, don't be afraid of anyone, don't worry about life.

In the afternoon, Yun Yang still relied on his own strength to find all the medicinal materials that Shen Shangluo needed, and originally planned to send Shen Shangluo back with the medicinal materials at dawn the next day.

But I don't know what Shen Shangluo is remembering, he must rush back to Yunwu Village on the same day, and Yunyang can't keep it, so he has to arrange for someone to send her back early.

Before leaving, Yunyang didn't forget to buy a passable outfit for Shen Shangluo, saying that he let Ji Lao see Shen Shangluo's appearance, and he must blame himself.

couldn't resist Yunyang's temperament, so Shen Shangluo also agreed, but it was always inappropriate to take other people's things for nothing, so the two of them agreed.

When the first batch of spring tea comes out, it must be to send some tea cakes to Yunyang, which should be the silver money of this outfit.
