44. There is help
Although the hustle and bustle in the city came and went this night, there was no more turmoil in the inn.
The female guests did not sleep, and during this time, officers and soldiers came in to check.
There was nothing to hide in the Chase Shop, and the luggage that the women brought into the room was simple, nothing more than a small baggage, a small basket, and an embroidered shelf placed in the corner of the wall.
At dawn, the inn was restored, and it was said that the murderer had escaped from the city, and the officers and soldiers were in pursuit.
"It's scary."
"It's the first time I've ever encountered something like this."
"That's because you don't go out too much, and that's how you go on the layside, you may encounter something."
The guests were talking about how frightened they were still going to make a living.
Qixing followed the crowd out of the city with a wrapped embroidery frame on his back.
Compared with before, the city gate guards are also very strict in their inspections, and the road guides that they ignored in the past are also required to be shown, and those who do not have road guides will be interrogated a few more words.
Qixing took out the road guide, and the city gate guard looked at it, and saw that it was written how old the people in a certain place were going, and there was the official government of Xizhou Xucheng Linglong Embroidery Workshop to protect them, so they waved their hands and let them go.
And he went out of the city gate and went to the place where the cattle were kept, and fetched his horses.
"Girl, please." The shopkeeper greeted her warmly and led her to the stable, "Enough water."
Seven Stars took out the money: "I'll ask for another luggage carrier."
The shopkeeper took the money and said happily, "Girl, wait a minute, I'll go get it."
He turned and walked away.
Qixing put down the embroidery frame he was carrying, reached out and pulled it gently, and the wooden shelf folded together slowly opened, and there was a long box inside.
There was a man lying in the box.
It seems to be an adult and a child, and it seems to be integrated with this box.
With the action of pulling the box open, the man's head lifted from his curled up body, and his face was pale and bloodless.
He seemed a little uncomfortable with the morning light, and his eyes were a little dazed.
"Are you alright?" Qixing asked in a low voice, took out the water bladder, and fed him water.
The wooden bolt that imprisoned his mouth and nose to prevent the sound from making a sound left deep marks on his mouth, making it difficult to swallow.
Although he was imprisoned, he knew that he was being used as bait and led his fellow disciples to risk him for him.
He always wanted to die, he didn't eat or drink, but when he fell into the hands of others, life and death were not under his control.
"I'm a rolling dragon...." he let out a hoarse voice, his pale face full of remorse, "I've hurt everyone.....
"No, it won't." Seven Stars said, "Don't worry."
Her voice didn't fluctuate, there was no warmth, only four simple words, which were not comforting, but the heart of the rolling dragon was inexplicably put down, he looked at the girl, and his eyes gradually condensed: "What do you call it?"
She said, "Xitang, Seven Stars."
Seven stars, the rolling dragon meditated.
"Girl, here's your bracket." The shopkeeper shouted outside.
With a shout, the rolling dragon felt its form slowly close.
He has the ability to shrink his bones and can shrink into various shapes, but it does not mean that it will not hurt, especially in the hands of officers and soldiers, he was folded at will, and he was in pain.
But now he was placed in this strange bracket box, every place seemed to fit his bones, and with the push, he was put away like a folding fan. ….
The rolling dragon's vision dimmed, and he could feel it being lifted up and placed on the horse's back, swaying gently as the horse moved, as if in his mother's cradle, and his mind relaxed and slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
He hadn't slept in a long, long time.
"Girl, let's go." The shopkeeper said enthusiastically.
Seven Stars nodded to him in thanks, led the horse out, and looked at the city behind him.
At this time, another group of officers and soldiers galloped out, causing chaos at the city gate.
I don't know which of the same people is using the bait to lure away the officers and soldiers.
It's about going out and taking care of each other.
She rescued the rolling dragon, and there were other people to help her, luring away the officers and soldiers for her, and making it easier for her to leave.
Seven Stars turned on his horse, wrapped his cloak and scarf tightly, and urged the horse to gallop forward.
......
......
In winter, the cold wind in the mountains and forests is biting, and there are no lush branches and foliage to cover it, and the winding mountain roads seem to be visible at a glance.
No matter when Meng Xichang turned around, he could always see the officers and soldiers chasing after him.
And you can also see the military attache in the head raising the bow and crossbow in his hand.
It's getting closer.
The previous arrow was still on Meng Xichang's shoulder.
You can't run away.
Meng Xichang looked at the sky, and the fellow who rescued the Rolling Earth Dragon had enough time to escape.
Then it was luck that he could live, he couldn't live, and it was worth dying.
"Don't stop, kill on the spot—" Zhang Yuan shouted sharply, looking at the man who was already within range of the crossbow arrows.
The man looked back, although it was within range, but it was not enough to see his face clearly, but inexplicably Zhang Yuan seemed to see him smile, and then saw the man leap up from his horse and kick the horse, the horse neighed and galloped forward to turn, and the man fell under the cliff on the side of the mountain road-
Zhang Yuan cursed, the crossbow arrow could fly over in an instant, but people couldn't fly over in the blink of an eye, they could only watch the man disappear from sight.
When we finally got closer, I looked at the bottom of the cliff, the grass and trees were messy, the winter fog was rolling, and I couldn't see anything.
Some officers and soldiers tried to slide down the cliff, which was steep and loose, and they accidentally stepped on the air, and if it was not for others to catch it in time, they would have rolled down.
"Join the army, let's go around the mountain to find it—"
"Joining the army, this man jumped off a cliff and died."
"Join the army, and then go back to the city to arrest his comrades."
Listening to everyone's gossip, Zhang Yuan didn't say a word, in fact, he shot the man behind him halfway, and found that not only did he not have an ambulance, but he lifted the person up to block it - it was not a real person, it was a straw man, and he knew that he had been fooled.
Turn the tiger away from the mountain.
But then it was too late to turn back.
Anyway, this is also a Mo disciple, since he is a bait, it is clear that he wants to sacrifice himself for others, Zhang Yuanfa wanted to arrest him, but he didn't expect this thief to jump off the cliff and commit suicide when he was about to be caught.
Zhang Yuan roared at the empty cliff and threw out the long knife in his hand.
Who is it!
Found the Rolling Dragon, rescued the Rolling Dragon!
Who the hell is it!
.....
.....
Vendors hawking along the street show the contents of the baskets to the customers, who look down at the various groceries and put out a line of words.
The people have been rescued, and they are quickly dispersed, and the West Hall.
Xitang, the guest silently thought in his heart, amazing, reached out to mess up the groceries, picked up two flints from them, and gave the money with a smile. ….
The peddler raised his voice: "Thank you, thank you." Put the money away.
The guest took the flint, got into the car, and whipped the horse to "go."
The matter is over, and it is done, everyone can disperse, hide again, and live in peace.
......
......
There was a long queue in front of the city gate of Qiu City.
"Get out of the way—"
A detachment of officers and soldiers galloped in, causing the crowd to become more confused, and they did not go directly into the city, explaining what to the guards at the gates, and then going to the city.
When the officers and soldiers passed, there was even more confusion in front of the city gate, because the city gate guards suddenly became stricter, and the road guide carefully checked, checked the people in the car, looked at the things in the car, and even the basket they were carrying had to be opened.
The lines have gotten longer.
"What's going on?"
"What is this looking for?"
There was a lot of discussion among the people in the procession, and many of the servants sent to the front to investigate.
A young handmaiden
was also among them, with flexible movements, and quickly squeezed back, and said to the window, "Miss, Miss, I inquired clearly, and said that it was a person to investigate."
Saying that he was going to get in the car.
The person next to him hurriedly asked, "Who are you looking for?"
The maidservant said, "It's a bandit."
Bandits, are there bandits in the neighborhood again? The person next to him was staggered, it was not safe to travel.
The maid got into the car, and when she lifted the curtain, the people next to her could see a girl sitting in it, and there was a shelf in the car, and the girl was embroidering with her head down, and when she heard the maid come up, she raised her head and asked, "What kind of bandit?"
There seemed to be some nervousness in his voice.
Nervousness is inevitable, and those who walk think to themselves, who is not afraid of bandits, especially young girls.
The curtain was lowered, and the voices of the master and servant were cut off.
Although there were more inquiries, I took out the road guide, checked the identity, looked at the car again, there was no problem, the two cars quickly entered the city, and then found an inn to stay.
The carriages, horses, and meals were all guarded by servants, and the young lady did not come out after entering the room, until night fell, when the official came to inspect the inn.
"Lin Tou, why is it so strict all of a sudden?" The shopkeeper was very familiar with the official, and while leading the way, he asked, "What big thief?"
Lin Guancha said, "Strange thief."
Odd? The shop guy was even more puzzled.
"It's an investigation from other places, and it's quite big." Lin Guancha said, pointed upward, and said three words with his mouth.
The shopkeeper understood in an instant, and he couldn't help but shudder: "This, this, it's really a big errand."
Lin Guancha shook his head again: "But there is no detailed information, strange bits and pieces, what are you wearing straw sandals, what you eat, what you are carrying, what are the people or things in the boxes and cabinets."
The shopkeeper also heard Hutu: "That's really weird."
How can a person crash into a box, a cabinet, a burden?
Talking to the backyard, there are not many people staying tonight, and the store guy personally took them one by one to check.
Hearing the officers and soldiers enter, the two girls and a servant woman in the room stood up.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The shopkeeper was busy reassuring, "The official is checking the origin of his identity."
Lin Guancha looked at the three women and asked lazily, "Lu Yin."
The servant woman hurriedly stepped forward and handed it over.
Lin Guancha looked at it casually.
"Two valets next door." The servant woman hurriedly said.
The officers and soldiers also ended the search, and there were three beds in the small room, and there were no extra cabinets and boxes, and there was nothing to check.
"No problem." They replied.
Lu Yin was no problem, Lin Guan almost nodded, turned around to leave, and his eyes suddenly stopped, and landed on the shelf in the room.
"What is this?" He asked.
The maidservant hurriedly said, "This is an embroidery frame, a small embroidery frame for travel, and our young lady is an embroiderer."
Lin Guancha had just seen Lu Yin and knew their identities, looked at the quiet embroidery girl, frowned and asked, "Do you need embroidery on the road?"
The pheasant, who had not spoken, lowered her eyes and said, "The deadline is tight, so I have to work day and night."
yes, it's very common, the people who work are just day and night, the shopkeeper thought to himself.
Lin Guancha didn't leave, thinking about the strange words on the order conveyed, isn't embroidery a delicate job, is it strange to embroider while walking?
He walked over, looked at the picture on the embroidery frame, and then looked at the girl: "You, embroider one and I'll see it."
