Chapter Forty-Eight: Midnight
In the era when there were no electric lights, the production capacity of human beings at night was ridiculously low, and in contrast to some things that did not circulate well in the sunlight could continue to prevail under the cover of night. Thus, in order to maintain its own rule, the policy of curfew naturally appeared.
On the first watch, usually after 7 p.m., ordinary people are not allowed to wander around the main roads in the inner city, except on holidays, of course. This is very unaccustomed to Li Dongsheng. Although this cargo has almost no chance to go out at night in his previous life, he now has a task in his body, although it is easy for Shunfeng Er to avoid the people patrolling the street, but after all, he has no power to "protect the chicken", and he always goes out at night, which will inevitably be suspected.
Well, in fact, the main reason is that he is lazy, and he was too lazy to go out without walking in his previous life, and he did not have a hobby of measuring the earth with his feet because he started over again.
Therefore, it is necessary to raise an errand boy.
Li Dongsheng glanced at the missed moment, it was almost the fourth watch, and estimated that Han Qiyun's "shit" should not move today, so he took out the meat skewers on the grill and brought them to the stone table, and at the same time brought out the warm wine.
As soon as he had prepared his food and drink, Lian Shen came in through the back door. Chuncao left him a door.
"Brother Shen is back! Come on, come on, freshly warm wine, grilled meat, come and take a sip. Li Dongsheng had long known when Lian Shen would come back, and greeted him with a little pompousness.
Lian Shen didn't know that Li Dongsheng had his own speculum, so naturally he couldn't see it, but he only felt that Li Dongsheng was enthusiastic, so he also smiled and said, "It seems that I came back at the right time." ”
You're not welcome to say it, and sit down straight to get started.
Since the words were spoken a few days ago, Lian Shen has become a lot closer to Li Dongsheng and Chuncao, coupled with Li Dongsheng's habits in his previous life, he does not have an ancient class concept in treating people, and after Lian Shen got used to Li Dongsheng's escape, he also felt that Li Dongsheng was actually very comfortable getting along. In the past few days in the house, Lian Shen has begun to have the casual energy in his own house.
Although Lian Shen is also a flat-headed commoner, after all, he has martial arts, and it is far more convenient than Li Dongsheng to go out at night. In Lingjing, because there is a curfew, ordinary people play until one o'clock in the morning, and suddenly there is nothing to do on a whim, and there are very few people who go out at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. So generally speaking, there shouldn't be anything going on over there after twelve o'clock. But Li Dongsheng can't go over and squat before seven o'clock every night, and sneak back after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, even if he just stare at it with his ears, he can't catch up with any emergencies for a while. So, in line with the principle that even being cautious and idle is idle, Li Dongsheng shamelessly let people go over and stare at it every night.
Of course, Li Dongsheng is not a capitalist who oppresses the poor workers, and there is still good food and drink waiting for people to be cautious at night. It's just that because this personal cooking skill tree is all crooked to the dark cuisine, the barbecue that can be eaten as long as it is not burned has become Li Dongsheng's specialty. Well, Lian Shen will put salt or something by himself.
"There is nothing wrong with the two young ladies today......" Lian Shen reported today's situation to Li Dongsheng while eating skewers and drinking wine. Since the last time, Lian Shen has already known that Xiang'er is actually Lou Yuji, who is also the lady of Lou's house. And Li Dongsheng, who was "told about this by Lian Shen", naturally determined with Chuncao that one person should save two people and save them, and if they don't save them, they won't save them, and they will act according to the idea that neither of them can ignore them.
Of course, there is no good way to be two people on the bright side and not three people now, so you can only stare at it first and wait for the opportunity.
Li Dongsheng knew that there was an opportunity, but he couldn't tell Lian Shen and the others, not even remind him in advance. Even if someone suddenly knocked on the door in the middle of the night and interrupted Lian Shen's conversation, he could only pretend that he didn't know who was coming.
"Who? Big night. Li Dongsheng shouted towards the door.
"I'm looking for a friend." Tang Liu's voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this voice, Li Dongsheng sighed secretly in his heart, and then pretended to be puzzled to look at Lian Shen, whose face changed drastically, and stopped Lian Shen from opening the door.
Li Dongsheng's acting skills are constantly improving, and Lian Shen is so confused at this time that he doesn't pay attention to these details.
Liu ...... Brother Lin, wait, I heard that someone was coming, they were coming to me. Lian Shen seemed to have thought of something, and his brows furrowed. He stopped Li Dongsheng and motioned for the latter to step back, while he approached the back door step by step.
After a few thoughts, Lian Shen suddenly opened the door.
Tang was the only one outside the door, but his face was ugly, and he had a knife hanging from his waist.
"How did you find here?" Lian Shen, whose face was also ugly, asked.
"Someone brought me here." Seeing Lian Shen, Tang Liu held the handle of the knife with one hand.
"You're following me?!"
"Heh, I wasn't the one who followed you." Tang Liu said with an ugly smile.
"......" Lian Shen groaned, trying to think about the meaning of Tang Liu's words, "This family has nothing to do with this matter, they are innocent." He understood what Tang Liu meant.
"They're all innocent, I don't know." Tang Liu shook his head, "But you'd better come with me." After saying that, he added, "For their good." ”
"Okay, I'll let you go!" Lian Shen almost didn't hesitate: "Wait for me to explain two sentences." ”
“...... Long story short," Tang Liu groaned, "Time is running out......"
However, before Tang Liu could finish speaking, a voice came from the courtyard: "No need! ”
"Here it is."
Hearing this voice, Tang Liu unconsciously revealed a trace of anger, and Lian Shen's face changed greatly, like thunder.
He turned around and saw Lin Mucheng standing by the stone table in the courtyard stunned and didn't dare to move, and the reason why his Lin brother didn't dare to move was because a cold arc blade was on his neck at this time. Lian Shen recognized the curved blade, and he also recognized the service of the person with the knife, the black fish suit was scalded with dark gold stripes, thick but low-key. This is the official uniform of the Hanging Mirror Division.
There was another person beside Lin Mucheng, who looked at Lian Shen with a playful face with his hands behind his back, as if he was looking at a trapped beast in a cage.
Lian Shen stared at this man, this person had appeared in his dreams countless times, he had imagined countless times when he saw this person again, and he had imagined how he would either be flayed alive head-on, or raided from behind, or trampled on the soles of his feet with great revenge. But this man, just like the last time Lian Shen saw him, will always be ashamed to appear when he is most embarrassed. This is true when you are in the dungeon, when you are outside the Xu Mansion, and it is also like this at this time.
This shameful villain will always only appear when he is at his weakest, and then choke his name so hard.
"Guo! Quiet! Lian Shen almost screamed out the name.
