Chapter Seventy-Four: There is a mystery on the other side of the courtyard wall
That night, about the time of the third watch, Shen Gong, who was quietly pretending to be asleep, suddenly heard a "babbling" sound at the door of Mo Li'er next door! Shen Gong couldn't help but think: "Finally there is a move, you fox can hide deep enough!" ”
In order to avoid startling the snake, he had to continue to pretend to be asleep without moving, while trying to prick up his ears to catch the trace of the guy surnamed Mo......
Mo Li'er slipped out of the door quietly, turned around and gently closed the door, but tiptoed to the door of the birdroom. At this time, Shen Gong had already gotten out of bed lightly, and the person was hiding behind the door—only opening a crack in the door, secretly peeping there......
Mo Li'er is also very ghostly (really worthy of being the nominal boss of the Grimace Division), he only opened the door of the birdroom for a small crack, and then shrank his body as hard as he could—after entering, he immediately closed the door with his backhand. Like this, Shen Gong must not see anything outside!
"And the thief!" Shen Gong unconsciously opened his mouth to scold, he quickly opened the door and dodged out, flew to the door of the birdhouse, leaned over and put his ear on the door to eavesdrop. He heard the sound of a clattering sound inside for a while, then the sound of the door of the birdcage being opened, and then the sound of the bird flapping its wings......
Connecting those several sounds together, it is not difficult to speculate that Mo Li'er must have taken advantage of the quieter night to secretly use the birds she raised to send messages to the outside. It can be seen that his treasure-like No. 11 bird cage should have a carrier pigeon there!
So, should this matter be reported to Eudoson? It stands to reason that this is a rare opportunity to express yourself. "Wait!" Suddenly, a voice reminded Shen Gong in his heart, making him can't help but think about it: That's right, before you find out who Mo Li'er is communicating with, it is not appropriate to act rashly for the time being!
So, in the middle of the night, who is Mo Li'er in a hurry to secretly communicate with? Regarding this, many people were absolutely unexpected, including You Duoxun, who has always been in strict custody of Mo Li'er. The pigeon that Mo Lier quietly released tonight was not an ordinary carrier pigeon - but a spirit pigeon!
The slightly smaller pigeons with brown feathers are an alternative to the pigeon population, and ordinary people cannot keep this kind of bird. Legend has it that decades ago, there was a famous martial arts family in the Central Plains, which once raised and used this kind of spirit pigeon.
In the dark night, the spirit dove that Mo Li'er quietly released flapped its wings over the tall courtyard wall, and then disappeared into the darkness......
Half a quarter of an hour later, the little brown pigeon landed on the high wall of another deep house. It peered inside, spread its wings, and flew straight to its destination—a window with a light still on, and the door ajar.
"Coo-coo-coo" The dove made a characteristic call, as if to inform the recipient. A hand dressed in brocade immediately stretched out and untied the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg.
The humane bird did not leave immediately, but stood quietly on the windowsill and waited. After a while, the hand reached out again, tied the little bamboo tube to the pigeon's leg again, and fed it a few small scarlet bean-like food.
At this moment, the spirit dove seemed to be satisfied, and after two more "cooing" sounds, it spread its wings and flew away......
……
On the side of the cold and windy Weishui River, after a long journey, the Gao family caravan was finally happy to see that it was almost at the end of the trip! The sight that made them happy was a large and majestic wall, which meant that Shia, the largest and richest city in the southwestern part of the West, stood in front of it.
In the past two days, Xin Qulong, who had always been alive and kicking, occasionally felt a cold and had a little fever, and at this time he was lying quietly on the cargo on the back of a camel, and he could not directly witness the exciting walls of Shia City. Gao Lihua didn't have fun all the way like before, at this time she just cared about riding a horse silently beside her, and glanced at the "Ah Long" on the camel with concern from time to time.
At this time, Azida, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly let out an exclamation: "Hey, where is the inn of Uncle Ban's house?" ”
"What's wrong?" The tall father in the back shouted at his son.
"Daddy, look, the Banjia Inn ahead is gone!" Azida roared again, her voice filled with trepidation.
"How can such a thing happen?" Father Gao shook the reins of the horse and drove the horse forward to see it for himself. At this time, Gao Lihua, who was walking in the middle of the team, also heard the sound, and she immediately shook the reins, clamped the horse's belly between her legs, and rushed forward like an arrow......
Lying on the back of a camel, Xin Chaihu, who was half-asleep, immediately woke up when he heard those shouts, and he propped himself up half-way with his elbows, and raised his eyes to look forward as best he could. As far as the eye could see, what Xin Chaihu saw - in addition to the wasteland and birch forests, there was only a large area of the ruins of the inn that had been burned to the ground!
Seeing such a devastated scene, Xin Chaihu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart...... Although it is the unbearable scene of the people in a foreign country suffering from disasters in front of him, for Xin Chaihu, who has always been chivalrous and righteous everywhere, he can also feel a strong anger and injustice!
"Dad, Uncle Ban - can't he offend someone, right?" The one who said this was Gao Lihua's crisp and beautiful voice.
"I don't think it's like it, who else can be offended by an honest person like the old team leader?" Daddy Gao's eyes are spicy, and there is no place in the western realm that he is not transparent.
"That'...... Did you encounter a thief? Gao Lihua didn't know what was going on, so she had to guess wildly.
At this time, it was the turn of the old Ani to interject, and he said slowly: "Nizi, what you said - also right, not right! ”
"What are you talking about? Old uncle. Gao Lihua was in front of the elder, and suddenly her cuteness appeared, and the playful energy suddenly returned: "Say it quickly, what are you always selling?" ”
Old Ani pointed to the wall in front of him with the tip of his horsewhip, and said, "Don't forget when you speak now—what is this?" At the foot of the royal city, do thieves dare to mess around? ”
Hearing this, Xin Chaihu unconsciously thought: Yes, this place is not comparable to ordinary places, how can there be such a thing as robbing homes and setting fire to people's houses? There must be an ulterior motive behind this matter at the moment......
