Chitose pointed to the east of the city: "Hurry up and follow the power." Seeing that the boy didn't squeak, she paused, "After that, let's leave Pinggu County as soon as possible." The farther away from Yicheng, the safer you will be. When you can speak, don't be afraid of it. ”

Every word she said was right, and the boy could only agree.

Now the two of them headed east.

The sky is getting late, and the county town begins to light up, but this night the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the place where the lights can't shine is still dark and dreary, and things can't be seen clearly five feet away.

Chitose likes this kind of weather very much: "The sky is beautiful." ”

The Yellow Mansion is really not difficult to find, and the largest courtyard in the east of Pinggu County is his house. The high walls show a silent curve in the autumn night, enclosing a tenth of the county's territory.

That's what they're aiming for.

If you want to cure the boy's old disease, those expensive and important medicinal materials are indispensable. They have no interest in Granny Mu at all, they just want to have an autumn breeze in the yellow house and leave.

Even Chitose was slightly embarrassed at this time: "It's a big place inside, you have to go in and look carefully." ”

The yellow house is not as small as the house of Yin Yang Qixing of the Yicheng Bureau. Chitose can't stay away from the wooden bell activities, and if the boy just stands outside the walls, she can't explore the mansion freely.

As soon as the boy heard this, he was about to start climbing over the wall. He was thin and short, but he was more agile than a monkey, and he could easily climb over a wall twice as tall as he saw him.

Chitose stopped him: "Don't rush in." He led him a few feet away, and then picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the wall.

I saw a flash of red light on the wall, and the stone was bounced out of the ground!

"The whole wall is forbidden. Someone wants to flip in, and that's the end. Chitose pulled him into the darkness, "The family surnamed Huang has a lot of money, and the house is big, so he was afraid that people would come to steal it, so he thought of such a way to prevent theft." Wait—"

Sure enough, after more than a dozen breaths, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps. A few strong men ran over from the side door, standing in the corner and looking around.

The two have long been hidden in the dark. Quietly on the road, the men saw an orange cat coming out of the depths of the alley, and they all breathed a sigh of relief: "It's another animal to make trouble! ”

They went back in a hurry.

The boy looked at Chitose, she has the ability to come and go, and it's just a piece of cake to bring herself in, right?

Chitose suddenly whispered, "Someone is coming." ”

She picked up the owner of the wooden bell and walked north along the high wall. The boy only felt the wind whistling in his ears, and soon arrived at the side door of the yellow house.

She carried him to the nearest tree and hid him.

Like the side doors of all mansions, no matter how magnificent the yellow house is, the side doors are just two open doors. Now there was silence outside the door, and there was not a single ghost.

Chitose smiled and groaned: "And your acquaintances." ”

In Pinggu County, he still has acquaintances?

Before the thought was finished, the boy saw two men, one tall and one short, walking out of the darkness.

The short one, with the burden on his back, looked left and right to make sure that no one reached out to knock the knocker. The tall man followed him.

There was a soft knock on the door. Three long, three short, alternate.

Seeing the short man's face through the faint light, the boy's pupils suddenly shrank.

Chitose was right, this was indeed his "acquaintance", and he was brandishing a knife to kill him yesterday.

This person is the eighth mountain bandit!

The boy couldn't help but froze.

Why did the murderous bandit on Poison Fang Mountain find the richest man Huang in Pinggu County?

The direction of this thing is getting weirder and weirder.

The eighth man knocked on the copper ring, and after waiting for less than five breaths, the side door of the yellow house opened, and an old man poked his head out to look at him: "Who are you looking for?"

He is very old, but he only has a cloth coat, of course, it can't be Mrs. Huang. The boy only glanced at it, and basically concluded that it was the old man who was guarding the door.

When the mountain bandit Lao Ba faced him, he didn't have the fierce flame of yesterday's killing, and only smiled: "I will deliver medicine for Granny Mu." ”

The word "Granny Mu" was in her ears, and Chitose couldn't help frowning.

The old man's expression was slightly relaxed: "Why are you here now?"

"Walking down dozens of miles of mountain roads, how can it be so coincidental to arrive before dark?"

The old man also knew that there were many variables in the wild, and he sighed: "Where's the medicine?"

The boy listened to his question straightforwardly, and it was obvious that this was not the first time that Granny Mu had sent someone to the door.

The two sides even agreed on the code of the joint.

The mountain bandit Lao Ba untied the burden on his back and handed it to him, while saying: "The ginseng is not old enough, and it will be delivered a few days late; ”

The old porter took the burden and said, "Wait," and slammed the door shut.

The tall man couldn't help but say, "Brother Ang, this old man is so rude." ”

It turned out that the eighth surname was Wu.

He said angrily: "It's okay, the most important thing is to get things done quickly." Looking down from the boy's point of view, it was easy to find that Wu Laoba's eyes flickered, obviously dissatisfied with the other party's attitude. A wealthy family like the Huang family is always jealous of people of unknown origin, even if the two of them were sent by Granny Mu, but the anger on their bodies can't be covered.

How dare the old man let this kind of person into the door?

Wu Laoba and the others subconsciously looked at the wall of the Huang family. He is a good hand at killing people and selling goods, and he has not gone to counties and villages to rob houses and houses, and when he looks at the height of the wall, he knows that he can climb over it.

But they have a task in the end, so they can only suppress their evil thoughts and wait quietly.

Fortunately, after a short while, the side door creaked open again. The old man held a cloth bag in his hand and handed it over: "The small gold ingot here is exactly two hundred taels of silver, you count." When the old man's ginseng runs out, you hurry up and send it, and you have the remaining eighty taels. ”

Wu Laoba took it, and sure enough, he opened it and counted it.

The number was correct, he nodded, turned and left. The tall man hurried to follow. Despite the scarcity of homes nearby, it's also not a place to stay.

The boy stared at his back, thoughtful.

Mother-in-law Mu who sells medicinal herbs, mountain bandits who kill people like hemp, and Old Lady Huang on the rich side, it seems that the three who are not related to each other are actually connected together.

He only felt as if he was in trouble again. Don't forget, there's a pacifier out there who is chasing him down.

Chitose whispered in his ear, "What are you going to do next?"

She exhaled like an orchid, the boy's ears were itching, and she subconsciously turned her head to avoid it before pointing to Wu Laoba and the others who were about to disappear around the corner.

He chose the mountain bandits.

Chitose smiled: "Wise choice." He picked him up and followed.

The boy's choice may seem risky, but it is actually the most feasible way to go. Wu Laoba said that the ginseng could only be delivered in a few days, which meant that the ginseng in the Huang Mansion had been used up, and no matter how hard he tried to sneak in, he would not be able to collect all the medicinal materials needed to cure the disease.
