Chapter 8: Tie people to trees

The moonlight sprinkled on the bustling crowd, adding a touch of golden brilliance to the downtown area. There were all kinds of voices in my ears. There is the noisy sound of the market, there is the sound of cheerful fighting, and there is the melodious shouting. The air is filled with scents ranging from fresh fruits and vegetables, hot snacks to fragrant flowers. The scene in front of you is dizzying, the sound of hawkers, the bargaining of customers, and the laughter of children, all of which are vivid in front of you.

"Guest, what do you want?" Roadside vendors greeted them warmly.

"Do you have fresh lobster?"

"Yes, yes, please come here, guest officer."

"Little Er, let's have two side dishes."

"Okay, wait a minute."

In the bustling downtown there are people coming and going, and there is still an endless stream of shouting.

"Stop, you stop me!"

"You dead thief, stop for Lao Tzu!"

"Don't run, you little slut, stop for Lao Tzu!"

"Don't run, rob, rob!"

"Stop him, don't let him run!"

“……”

The crowd was crowded, the stream was endless, people shouted in panic, pushed and shoved, and no one let anyone.

Another noise in the distance broke the already unpeaceful picture.

"What's going on?" Someone in the crowd asked.

Passerby A glanced at the speaker and said, "Isn't it obvious that he was robbed?" ”

"Oh, it's really a robbery, that person ran into the crowd, hey, you guys go help, help!"

The crowd of onlookers said they didn't dare to intervene.

Although Lu Jingzhi is a little gentleman, his good family style since he was a child makes him unable to stand idly by. So he resolutely chased after him with light skills.

It was very circumventing, and Lu Jingzhi had to be careful not to bump into the people around him. After a while, he caught up with the villain in front of him.

Lu Jingzhi stopped in front of him, looked at him condescendingly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a bit of evil spirit.

"Give me something." He commanded.

"Nope." The bold thief did not flinch.

Afterwards......

"Don't fight, don't fight, give it to you. Hiss~"

Lu Jingzhi beat the person and let him go, but he found that he didn't chase after him.

The surroundings are much more deserted than the downtown just now, and he doesn't know how to return to the city after just two days and because of chasing people for some time, so he can only walk aimlessly.

On the other side, the master and servant had just come from the downtown area.

"Miss, what are we doing here?" Xia Yu didn't understand a little, shouldn't he see more in the downtown area, there are so few people here and he can't see anything. There are many people and shops in the downtown area, which is more suitable for observation.

Xia Wan stroked the fox in her arms, "The market is almost saturated, and it is not much to get a piece of the pie, so it is better to open up a new downtown and connect the two downtown together to promote common economic development." ”

"Besides, your young lady and I don't just want to open a shop, it's just right to choose here. Don't look at the fact that there are not many people now, it is close to the downtown area, and it is easy to drain the traffic. The main task of coming out today is to see what goods the people will patronize more in the evening, and then make follow-up plans. ”

Xia Yu nodded as if she didn't understand, she had never heard many words spoken by the young lady, but she firmly believed that what her young lady said was right.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out between the two, and Xia Yu took the first step and directly swiped out the drug hidden in his sleeve earlier.

Lu Jingzhi had already covered his mouth and nose as fast as he could, but he was too close and still inhaled a lot, so he had to fall down in a daze.

When Lu Jingzhi saw them, he recognized one of them as the woman he had seen when he first came out, thinking that since the woman had seen it around the Lu Mansion and now walked here with her maid, she must have known the route back.

Lu Jingzhi also specially waited for the master and servant to finish speaking before he stepped forward to ask how to go back to the Lu Mansion, but he didn't expect this little girl to be drugged directly, and he didn't notice it for a while.

At this time, the master and servant looked down, and saw a man lying on the ground dressed in a moon-white necklace with a fine pattern of silver and a brocade dress, the collar and cuffs of the robe were inlaid with a silver silk edge and cloud pattern piping, and a blue auspicious cloud wide-edged brocade belt was tied around his waist, and his black hair was tied up and wore a small silver crown inlaid with jade, and the white jade crystal on the silver crown was crystal moist and set off the black and smooth of his hair, like silk.

The smooth and fair face, the angular-sharp cold handsomeness, the dark and deep eyes, the charming color, the thick eyebrows, the high nose, and the beautiful lip shape, all show nobility and elegance.

The man lying on the ground doesn't look like a thief at first glance, how can a thief look so good, wear so gorgeously, the clothes on his body are not at all worn by ordinary people, and even his eldest son doesn't have such good materials to make clothes.

"Miss, what should I do?" Xia Yu was a little flustered, feeling that he had made a mistake, but whoever asked him to reach over without saying a word.

Xia Wan was also a little embarrassed, but the two of them couldn't take him back to the house.

In the end, Xia Wan's eyes swept and said, "Put him on that tree, after a cup of tea, when he wakes up, he will leave." ”

Xia Wan put the fox in her arms on the ground, and helped Lu Jingzhi, who was lying on the ground, to the tree near the river with Xia Yu.

It took a lot of effort for the two of them to push Lu Jingzhi up, and in the end, they were afraid that Lu Jingzhi would fall down, so Xia Yu went to find something similar to a vine nearby and came back and tied Lu Jingzhi to the branch.

Xia Wan was still struggling with whether it would be good to tie people to a tree like this.

Xia Yu saw her own lady's tangled expression and thought that her own lady was struggling with whether she was tied tightly or not, so she explained, "Miss don't worry, the slave is tied very tightly, and he won't fall off." ”

Xia Wan: "......." ”

What can Xia Wan say?

This girl is too thoughtful and thoughtful.

lest as soon as they turn over, they fall into the water, or fall to the ground, and their handsome nose and face are swollen.

It's just that he was stunned, and he tied them to the branches, which was a little embarrassing, so he stuffed Lu Jingzhi's arms with the only twenty taels of silver he carried.

This kind of psychology also passed in Xia Wan's heart, after all, she can't bring people back to the house, what does it look like for a girl to bring a strange man back. Besides, the two of them sneaked out of the wall, and they couldn't bring a "burden" to climb over the wall together, so they could only put people on the tree. As for why he didn't put it next to the tree, he was afraid that someone would pass by and see him and do something bad to him while he was unconscious.

"Then miss, let's go home."

"Let's go." Xia Wan glanced back at Lu Jingzhi on the tree, picked up the red fox that had been placed on the ground just now, and left.
