3. Auspicious Heavenly Maiden (middle)

Really! My heart skipped a beat, but I immediately held back my voice and said, "Thirteen." Isn't that right? ”

"Oops!"

There was a sudden increase in horror in his voice, and he hurried forward past me. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this person is extremely delicate, but also a hundred secrets, my bet is a bet. Now he thought that the people who had infiltrated must be among the people in front of him, and he let me go. It's also thanks to the black rats that they are particularly stammering, carrying the package and walking very fast, the line is already very long, and this person does not dare to shout, so he can only catch up and check one by one.

Although he was temporarily out of the predicament, with the man's ability, he should be able to find out soon. When he came back to check on me, he didn't have a chance. I can only get out of this moment. Fortunately, it had been ten or so steps away from the ship at this time, and it was pitch black here, and after five or six steps, it was no longer possible to see the front, and the man was checking the man in front of me, and now he could still see me, and if he checked the next one, he would not be able to see me. I deliberately slowed my pace, and as the man went to check on the people in front of me again, I flashed to one side.

The wharf is very large, and there are more than 20 ships calling at the wharf tonight, two of which are large cargo ships with hundreds of crew members. Most of the crew went ashore to rest, and the watchers had already fallen asleep in the cabin, and now the whole dock was dead silent. I didn't dare to relax a little, and walked out of the northernmost part of the dock in the darkness. Although this package of things is not, although it successfully came out with a package of goods, the more I think about it, the more afraid I become. They didn't dare to say anything, it seemed that there was something wrong with these goods, and if they had been stabbed at the time, they might have stabbed me and thrown me into the sea. I'm getting more and more curious, but it's better to get out of this place as soon as possible.

Although I carried such a package and swaggered out, most of the officials on duty in the Yuanren Division would not pay attention to me, but it was better to have more than one thing. Fortunately, the wharf was originally only a few roads with large cars, and those small alleys that could only walk were patrolled by officials during the day, and now there were not even a ghost. I didn't know this place well, and I could see a dozen paces in front of me in the middle of the night, and I really didn't know where to go. As he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a human voice coming from a distance.

Although it is very light, it can be heard by quite a few people. In the middle of the night, most of the night sailing passenger ships were travelers who had just docked at the port. I secretly called it a fluke, I carried a package alone, and if someone found out, I would probably be taken for a thief. Now that you are among these travelers, it is completely unnoticeable.

Thinking of this, I immediately followed the sound and walked briskly. The alley was dim, and after a few turns, the sound was much clearer. I was waiting to hear what they were saying, and how they had been talking for a long time, but the sound stopped abruptly.

There was a sudden dead silence all around, and it was even more eerie in the middle of the night. I was stunned, and I already felt that it was not good, but I had come here, and I had to go over again. I took a few quick steps forward, and when I could see what was ahead, my heart sank.

The alley is shallow. A dozen paces away, a high wall blocked the road.

The area around the wharf is not as good as the center of the city, and some of the alleys do not lead from both ends, and the sound comes from behind the walls. I don't know what the crowd gathered behind the wall in the middle of the night led me to such a dead end, and I was unlucky.

Now I had to turn around and go out, but the package on my shoulder was getting heavier and heavier. I was about to change my shoulder, but I didn't know what it was.

What's in there? It can't seem like gold or silver. Even if it was really a bag of silver coins, I would definitely not be able to carry such a large bag. The more I thought about it, the more curious I became, and when I was about to change my shoulders, I simply put it on the ground and reached out to untie the rope that bound the mouth of the bag. This rope is tied with a live buckle, and it will be loosened after a pull. As soon as I put my hand inside, I realized that it was a lump of oiled paper wrapped in something soft and muddy.

What the hell is this? I was stunned and reached out and picked a packet. There was something like soft mud in there, and as soon as I got in, I got a finger on it. I leaned under my nose and sniffed it, only to feel a slight choking smell, but it wasn't too bad.

What the hell is this thing? I was being surprised when a cold voice suddenly sounded behind me: "Sure enough, it's here." ”

It wasn't loud, but I was so scared that I almost fell to the ground. This voice is clearly the guy who saw the flaw on the boat just now! I just said that I had escaped from his grasp, but I didn't know that this guy was still ghostly, and he actually chased here. I don't know how he followed me, but now that I'm in such a dead end, it's impossible to take the package with me.

You have to make a decision now!

Without waiting for the man to say anything more, he threw the package on the roof on the left, and the man rushed to the right. The wall in front of him was nearly two people high, and it was indeed not easy to climb. But the left and right sides are the same height, but the house on the right is shorter, so it's not too difficult for me to rush to the roof and then climb over the wall.

I was so accurate that as soon as I threw the package away, I jumped up about four feet. His right foot took advantage of the momentum and kicked on the post next to the wall, and his left foot was already on the wall. The wall cut off the alley, and it was at an angle to the house. Although I didn't use much force, I used my strength to get up from the ground, take two steps on each foot, and my body had already rushed over the roof.

One more step and I'll be able to jump on the roof. I was about to rush forward again in one breath, when my shoulder suddenly weighed, but I heard the man shout, "Come down!" ”

The voice was right behind me!

I'm confident that I'm already very good. In terms of strength, I probably can't compare to the Black Rats, but I'm definitely faster and more agile. Although the series of actions just now was extremely hasty, every step was not allowed to be taken, and it went down the river. Even so, that person was still able to catch up with me, and I was scared into a cold sweat for a moment. Even if he still had the strength to fight him, his fighting spirit was gone, his body was short, and he kicked hard with his left foot, and the person rushed forward at once.

The tiles are brittle and thin, and I have seen those who repair houses have to be careful when stepping on them, how can they withstand my vigorous stepping. There was a "crackling" sound, and I rushed out five or six steps, and the tiles had been broken by me. The man grabbed me by the shoulder, thinking that I would turn around and fight him, but I didn't expect that I would run away without fighting back. I rushed to the ridge of the roof, and beyond that there was another alley, but before the man could stand firmly, there was a sudden burning pain in his back, and he stumbled and rushed to that side.

The man actually grabbed me behind my back! Unfortunately, I was wearing a shabby garment, and the fabric was so rotten that I couldn't stand his grip at all. If my usual clothes and vest were grabbed by him, I would definitely not be able to take them off. I was frightened and frightened, and I was about to rush down the alley on the other side.

Once I fall, even if I can land steadily, with the skills of the person behind me, I will definitely not be able to escape. In the midst of my busy schedule, I had an idea, and just as I rushed to the edge of the eaves, I kicked my feet again, and the man jumped out to the left. The high wall on the left was only two or three feet above the roof, and with the power of this leap, I climbed the wall with my left hand, and the man had already turned sideways, and fell straight down the wall.

That's not enough height to break me. Just falling like this, I naturally couldn't stay upright anymore. But I bet that the man would have thought I wanted to jump off the roof and run out of the alley, so he would have rushed faster, and he would have been caught off guard if I jumped out sideways like this. In this way, we are on both sides of this high wall.

With a bang, I fell to the ground inside the wall. Luckily, it was a soft mud field, and although I fell and ate, I was not injured and I didn't make a lot of noise. But across a wall, I could hear the "thump" of the end. These alleys are all paved with stone slabs, and even if that person is skillful, he will definitely be more uncomfortable than me if he falls on the stone slabs.

Although I was out of danger for the time being, I was even more panicked in my heart. I don't know which backyard this place I broke into, so it doesn't look like it's an idle person. If I climb over the wall in such a reckless way, once discovered, I will definitely be handed over to the garrison as a thief, not to mention that the person chasing me is outside the wall, he must still not give up, and will probably chase in.

Gotta get out as soon as possible. I looked around, and saw that the yard was very large, and the trees were very luxuriant, but they were all very short, very different from ordinary yards. My backyard was huge, too, but it was a wasteland full of rocks, but here it was a rockery with rockeries and a small river meandering through it.

I walked out through the grass, and just turned a rockery, a glimmer of light suddenly shone in front of me. Because of the trees, this light has not even penetrated at all. I looked intently, and saw a row of large houses in front of me, with two large doors in the middle, tightly covered, and the light peeked through the cracks.

Is there anyone else in here? I was stunned. This row of houses occupies one side of the courtyard, and the other three sides are full of high walls, and it is impossible to climb over the walls anymore. In any case, there is only one way. I walked briskly to the gate and opened in.

Looking through the crack in the door, there were dozens of people inside. They were all wearing white cloaks and holding a candle in their hands. On the other side, there is a platform, on which is a person in the same costume, holding a candle in his hand. As soon as I looked at it, they suddenly began to chant in a deep voice. Although the voices are very soft, the voices of so many people singing together are not too light after all.

It turns out that the voices I heard were singing. I thought. These people don't know what they're doing, and there's a weirdness that they definitely don't get along with, so let's find a way out while they're concentrating on chanting. This kind of whole row of rooms, one of which is the main hall, most of the wings on both sides are now empty, just find an unlocked one, you can walk through it after entering, and it is a big deal to jump out of the window.

On each side of the main hall, there were several doors, but when I pushed them, each door was so tightly locked that it could not be opened, and the windows were closed tightly. I saw a small door at the end and hurried over. I know that this place is usually for brooms and dustpans and other miscellaneous items, because it has to be accessed at all times, so this room is mostly unlocked, and often has two ends. At this time, the chanting of those people was getting softer and softer, and it was about to come to an end, and I was a little anxious, and I didn't think much about it, so I walked over and pushed it. Sure enough, with a push, the door opened, but it was a hallway. It's a bit strange to have a hallway in the utility room, and it's very big, almost twice as big as usual, but I didn't think much about it, so I dodged in and closed the door.

As soon as I closed the door, it was pitch black in front of me, and I couldn't see anything. I didn't expect this room to be so dark, didn't it even have a window? I was about to push the door open a little more, when suddenly I heard a voice sound: "Master, is that you?" ”
