Chapter 4 Ice Cutting to Save People
When he ran to the back of the temple, he did not dare to go straight to the grove, but went to the village outside the city to go around a few times, and returned to the grove in an hour.
The girl Li Yuan was frightened, hiding in the woods and not daring to squeak, her face was covered with mud, and she was relieved when she saw Han Yu.
Han Yu observed vigilantly, then took out a roast chicken from the hidden flat pole and said, "Eat first, clean up and let's go into the city." ”
"Are you okay, how is the temple?" asked Li Yuan a little worriedly, took the roast chicken and took a bite, obviously the little girl was also frightened.
"Hey, you're talking..."Li Yuan raised his head and saw the blood spots on his face that had not been wiped clean, and he suddenly became a little anxious.
"It's okay, I fought with them, I never lost a fight, this blood is not mine. Han Yu was also undecided about the first time he killed someone, so he dealt with it casually.
Seeing that the little girl was a little worried, Han Yu reluctantly gave a smile, and took out a gray rag casually, and asked Li Yuan to wipe the blood on her face.
The belongings in the broken temple were gone, Han Yu took off the cotton shoes in Li Yuan's surprised eyes, and then saw him take out the dagger, insert it, and shake out a pile of copper and a piece of broken silver from the cotton shoes.
"It's all our belongings, and when it's gone, it's gone. Han Yu shook his shoes, made a cut on Li Yuan's padded jacket with a dagger, stuffed the broken silver into it, and instructed: "If I have anything to do, you can take the money, go to the general's mansion to be a maid first, and then recognize your father when he comes back." ”
A group of officials pressed a few splashes back to the city, Han Yu was a little worried in his heart, if his portrait was plastered all over the city, then he could only send this girl to the general's mansion and slip away.
"Go, keep up. When the official walked away, Han Yu hid the flat burden in the woods and took Li Yuan to the city.
When a life case occurred outside the city, the soldiers in charge of guarding the city gate naturally did not dare to be careless, and they stood one by one to check the flow of people entering the city gate. Zhao Yuan clenched his little fists a little nervously, and Han Yu walked towards the door hole with a big grin.
"Sun Tou, busy. Han Yu took out twenty coppers and put them in the box, and took the initiative to greet the little officer who was watching the city gate.
"Oh, it's you, kid, the vegetables are sold out?" replied the officer surnamed Sun.
"Thanks to Sun Tou's guidance today, at the end of the month, the little ones naturally have filial piety. Han Yu nodded and said, his face full of flattery.
This answer made the junior officer surnamed Sun very satisfied, and he was directly released without cross-examination. In his opinion, those who can kill people are fierce people on the rivers and lakes, and they must have nothing to do with the vegetable vendors who support their families.
took Li Yuan to the old house that he had just rented, and turned out a few hidden quilts, so there was no need to worry about the two of them for the time being.
But there are a lot of things that need to be added, just this rice grain is worrying, firewood, rice, oil and salt, bribery, don't want to settle down without a dozen taels of silver.
There was a murder outside the city, and the catch in the city was also tight, in case those gangsters were pointed out, this matter would be troublesome.
There is also the Siping Gang, the head of the snake, who agreed to go to the appointment for three days, if you don't go there, you will be cowardly, and you will be seen as false and real.
As soon as the sun set, a biting cold wind blew in the city, the suspension bridge at the edge of the city fell early, and the pedestrians on the street went home one after another, and the street suddenly became a lot colder.
Li Yuan cleaned up in the house, while Han Yu braved the cold wind to go out, looking around to see if he could find a fat sheep to start.
This stealing is also a technical job, and finding the right person is the key. If you look for the poor to touch, you can't find a few taels of oil and water, and you can't find those who wear silk and satin with servants, and it's not easy to start. It was planted last month, and he touched a stupid young man, but he didn't expect that the female companion who was traveling with him was a first-class master, and the woman almost arrested Han Yu to see the official. Fortunately, Han Yu was clever and quickly apologized, plus he ran fast and chased lazily on the opposite side, so he escaped.
The most loved person for stealing this job is the rich man in the countryside, who has no foundation in the city and has enough oil and water, which is the best goal.
It's a pity that there are few pedestrians on the road today, and they are in a hurry to brave the cold wind, so there is no chance to start.
The green buildings in the city are lively, and there are many fat sheep, but most of them have something to do with the gangs in the city, and he can't afford to mess with them.
If you want to say that the biggest force in this city, it is naturally the city lord's mansion. Han Yu has also read books, and he has studied books when he came to defect, and there are a total of ninety-nine big cities in this land, each city is respected by the city lord's mansion, and a noble surnamed Ji is respected as the lord of the country.
Of course, these cities are only nominally honored, and each city lord is like a prince, and the court has little binding power on them. Han Yu also recorded through the history books that this court will change a few hundred years at most, and a few decades at least, but the interesting city lords below will also change a large number of them.
The major city lords' mansions have been attacking each other for hundreds of years, but the scope of their territories has basically not changed. After a thousand years of changes, there are still ninety-nine in this big city, but the city lord's mansion has changed one after another.
In order to retain the position of lord of the city, some small castles formed alliances to protect themselves, while other large lords were eyeing the castle in vain and trying to annex the property of the small city.
Jian'an City Fangyuan is 500 miles, with a population of nearly one million, and it is also a medium-sized city in the vicinity, and the city lord's mansion has formed an alliance with several nearby marriages, and this Jian'an City has not had a war for a long time.
The city lord of Jian'an City is called Ouyang Yun, who has eight sons and five daughters, and eighteen grandchildren, and the eldest grandson is a few years older than the youngest son, which is very strange.
Han Yu wandered around the street for two hours, but he didn't find the target to start with, and went to a small shop on the street to ask for two servings of rice noodles.
The sky and the earth are big, the belly is the largest, and after eating and drinking, Han Yu locked the courtyard door, took a quilt and slept in the next room.
....
The next day, Han Yu got up early and climbed over the city wall while the soldiers guarding the city wall were asleep.
Last night's cold wind froze the moat into ice, and he poked his feet into it, quietly crossed the river, and hurried straight to the ruined temple.
The traces of the mess at the scene are still there, and they are frozen into ice ballast when they are blown by the cold wind, and when they come to the backyard, they are thrown on the clutter, but they are turned into a mess.
Han Yu found a stinky cotton coat from the mess, and regardless of the stench, he picked at the neckline with a knife, and a few taels of silver fell.
Picked up the broken silver on the ground, threw the torn cotton clothes back to their place, and went to the wellhead to take a look.
These Siping Gang are also quite reliable, countless green bricks have been filled, almost to the wellhead, and it is very difficult to find the body.
Besides, this case is not bitter, the Siping Gang made the silver to suppress this matter, and the government will not investigate it deeply, and I am afraid that no one will mention it after a while.
After figuring out these truths, Han Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that it was still early, so he practiced those few kung fu.
What happened yesterday is still palpitating when I think about it now, if the black bear resists his killing move, then he may be the one lying at the bottom of the well today, and Zhao Yuan must have been sold to the Qinglou.
When the sun rose, Han Yu waited on the way into the city with a flat burden, and it didn't take long for him to meet the old man again.
"The old rules. Han Yu threw the burden to the ground, and threw over a tael of broken silver, and without waiting for the old man to distinguish it, he picked up the burden and left.
The old man was not angry, these two pieces of silver were also worth these goods, I saw that he went home directly, and now he is picking up a load of vegetables to sell.
Smoothly entered the city, carried the flat shoulder straight to the general's mansion, took out a dozen coppers and stuffed them to the gatehouse, and the gatehouse called yesterday's maid Chunyu.
Came to the back kitchen with his head down, and successfully collected the vegetables, Han Yu knocked on the side to ask the maid Chunyu for news, but Chunyu didn't answer the stubble, which made Han Yu very anxious, so he could only look around cautiously and saw a teenager playing in the lotus pool.
The boy was jumping on the ice with a few maids, and the boy was having fun, when he suddenly disappeared.
"Oh no, the young master has fallen overboard!"
"Hurry up and save the young master!"
“....”
A group of family members suddenly panicked, shouting and rushing over, but the ice was not thick, and more and more cracks appeared when there were more people standing, and the frightened group of family members retreated back.
The maid Chunyu was also startled, and suddenly saw the vendor next to her rushing to the back kitchen, but this situation couldn't be controlled, and went straight to the lotus pond.
The young man's head popped up from time to time, and he panicked and called for help to the family on the shore, and the general's mansion was in chaos for a while.
"Get out of the way!" suddenly a voice came, and a vendor in an old cotton jacket rushed over, still holding a long hemp rope in his hand.
A group of housekeepers hurriedly got out of the way, only to see the hawker throwing the rope and landing accurately in the hole, only to hear the hawker shouting: "Hold on to the rope!"
The young man saw the hope of life and grabbed the rope, but the peddler ordered to the housekeeper beside him: "You guys, take iron tools and chisel through the ice, quick!"
As soon as a few family members heard that they had a backbone, several family members came to the ice and jumped down to dig the ice, once the young master died in the lotus pond, several of them would lose their heads!
"Chunyu, you tell the kitchen to boil a pot of ginger soup. Let me boil a pot of boiling water and send it to your young master's room. Seeing that Chunyu's eyes were still looking at the young master, Han Yu suddenly pointed out a few words.
"En!" Chunyu woke up like a dream, glanced at Han Yu gratefully, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
This group of family members also moved quickly, and it took a few minutes to chisel the ice open, Han Yu dragged the rope to drag the boy to the shore, and suddenly slipped and fell into the pool.
The surrounding family members were stunned again, only to see Han Yu, who had fallen into the water, desperately holding the young man's buttocks, and a group of family members hurriedly helped up the young man who was about to faint.
"Let the young master drink the ginger soup first!" Chunyu brought a bowl of ginger soup to the young man's purple lips at this time.
At this time, a noble lady in the inner mansion hurried over, and saw that the young man was wet, and there was ice slag condensed in his hair, and said angrily: "Hurry up and bathe the young master, go to the city lord's mansion to invite Doctor Song!"
"Tell Madame, the hot soup has already been prepared, and it is in the young master's room. Chunyu fed a bowl of ginger tea and whispered.
A group of maids woke up like a dream, and hurriedly carried the young master away, and the lady glanced at Chunyu with satisfaction: "You are doing a good job, what kind of maid are you?"
"Mrs. Hui, I entered the house last year, and now I am a third-class maid. Chunyu hurriedly replied.
At this moment, Han Yu stepped on the silt and crawled out of the pool, the cold wind blew and shivered, and the noble lady frowned and asked, "Who is he?"
"Madame, this person is a vegetable vendor, and when he saw the young master fall into the water, it was he who found a way to rescue the young master. The middle-aged housekeeper on the side reported truthfully.
"You are now a second-class maid, let him go to the account office to get five taels of silver, and let him go quickly!" The stench of silt wafted into the noblewoman's nose, and she waved her hand in disgust, and hurried away with a group of maids.
Only the shivering Han Yu and the little maid with a festive face were left by the lotus pond.
