Chapter Eighty-Three: The Psychic Man
There is a river a kilometer away from Ning'an Town, and a small boat travels on the river.
The full moon shone on the surface of the river, and the banks were dark and quiet.
On the wooden boat, a person wears a hat on his head and rows forward with a bamboo pole in his hand.
In the cabin was an old man on crutches and a young man with three tightly tied sacks at his feet.
The boat roamed for half an hour and then arrived at a pier.
The old man carried three sacks on his shoulders and several people went ashore, and there was a carriage on the shore that waited quietly for a long time.
There were four torches hanging from the four corners of the carriage, and the three of them walked towards the carriage.
One person got down from the carriage and said to the three people: "Everyone is together." ”
The old man said: "This is natural, you are all old friends, you are still not at ease?"
"This is an order from the chief, your Excellency. ”
The old man didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and ordered the two behind him to put down the sack and open it one by one, and there were three people in the three sacks, and the three were all immature teenagers Liu Yi was also here.
They looked quiet, their eyes closed, and they slept soundly.
"Okay, everyone, please get in the car. ”
After that, the two tied the sack tightly, but the accident happened suddenly, and before the two of them could stuff the last Liu Yi into the sack, he suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.
Even though Liu Yi was young, he was very clear about his own situation, and he shouted: "Who are you? Why did you arrest me!"
He twisted his body frantically, but his feet and hands were tied with hemp rope, and he couldn't break free with all his might.
The old man was a little surprised and said, "This doll woke up quite quickly, feed him a pill to calm down." ”
A person stepped forward and pressed Liu Yi and pinched his cheek vigorously, this person's strength was much greater than him, and the huge strength made him have to open his mouth.
He shook his head, but it was no match for the man's strength, which shoved a pill into his mouth, then covered his mouth and nose and forced him to swallow.
This man's skillful movements were obviously not the first time he had done such a thing, and after feeding him, he stuffed him back into the sack, and the old man said, "Get in the car and hurry away so that no one will find out." ”
Tie the sack tightly, Liu Yi still kept struggling and shouting, but in just a few blinks, he stopped moving and fainted again.
The three men got into the carriage with sacks, and the groom held the reins and shook them vigorously, and the carriage galloped away.
Yuncheng is a small city in Fuzhou, the city is not large and the population is not large, and the life in the city with a small population is also very stable.
It was the night when the four gates were closed, and the gates were guarded by four soldiers, but they were also very leisurely, and nothing major would happen in this small city.
A few people were chatting when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
At night, when the city gate is closed, ordinary people will not let them into the city, and one soldier has a question in his mind, so he walks to the gate and opens a small opening to look out.
A carriage waited quietly outside the gate, and the soldier was not surprised and asked, he closed the mouth and opened the gate.
He opened the door and said, "Xiao Wang, can you be early in the future, if you are seen when you enter the city so late, our brothers will be unlucky." ”
Xiao Wang said with a smile: "I have worked hard for a few military masters, and it is a little fun to come here to buy wine and drink, and it is really hard to defend Yuncheng at night." ”
As he spoke, he took out five silver tickets from his bosom and stepped forward and handed them to the soldiers who opened the door.
"Why is Xiao Wang so polite," he said and quietly stuffed the silver ticket into his arms, and then said with a straight face: "Okay, okay, come in, don't let people see it." ”
"Thank you for your accommodation," Xiao Wang got into the carriage and drove towards the city.
The carriage drove into the city and stopped in front of a rice village, where people were already waiting with lanterns.
The groom didn't get out of the car, he patted the carriage behind him and said, "A few people have arrived at the place, please get off." ”
The old man was the first to get out of the car, followed by the two of them carrying three sacks.
As they got out of the carriage and drove slowly forward, the one in front of the Mizhuang gate led the three of them in with a lantern.
It was pitch black in Mizhuang, and there was only one room with a faint light, and the three of them followed the person in front of them all the way straight and walked into the room with a glimmer of light, and after a few people entered the room, the person with the lantern went out of the room and closed the door.
The room was a storeroom, surrounded by sacks full of grain, in which one man stood, and when the three entered, they placed the sack on the ground and untied the rope.
The old man said first: "Boss He, everyone is here." ”
The corner of Boss He's mouth showed a bright smile and said: "You are doing things neatly, and you will be rewarded with three thousand taels." ”
The old man who took the silver ticket he handed over said, "Then let's go first, this pack of pills is a gift, and we will wait for you at any time if necessary." ”
"Da, da, da," The sound of the cane faded away, and the three of them left the rice village and disappeared into the night.
Seeing the three of them walking away, Boss He took out a piece of cloth from his arms and tore it into three pieces, and stuffed it into the mouths of Liu Yi and the three of them piece by piece.
After doing this, another person walked in, and Boss He raised his head and said, "Is Xiao Wang's carriage ready?" ”
"Ready, let's go, boss. ”
At the back door of Mizhuang, the two loaded the three sacks into the carriage and then galloped away.
Tongling Mountain is a small mountain, there is a psychic temple on the mountain, and there is only one person in the view, called a psychic Taoist.
Although the mountain and the Taoist temple are small, the incense is not bad, and the reputation of the psychic Taoist is also widely spread in this area.
At this moment, it was late at night, but the psychic Taoist had not rested, he stood quietly in front of the Taoist temple and looked into the distance.
In the silent night, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the Taoist's eyes lit up, "It's finally here." ”
The carriage stopped in front of the Taoist temple, and the psychic Taoist stepped forward to greet him, and he said happily: "Boss He, don't come unharmed." ”
The coachman Xiao Wang moved off the carriage with three sacks, and Boss He said to the psychic Taoist on the side: "It's all here, and there is a bag of requiem medicine, does the Taoist have any other orders?"
The psychic Taoist stroked his white long beard with satisfaction and said: "Okay, Boss He, you have also worked hard, there is no need for requiem medicine, come to this is the agreed elixir, you can go back and rest first when it is late at night." ”
Boss He took the wooden box he handed over, clasped his fists and said, "The Taoist chief can come to me at any time if he needs to, and he will say goodbye." ”
"Drive!" shouted, and the carriage galloped away again.
Retracting his gaze from the vanishing carriage, the psychic Taoist turned around and walked into the Taoist temple with three sacks in both hands.
"Hmm~" Liu Yi woke up with a sigh, he felt that his head was very heavy and his consciousness was a little blurred.
Covering his head, he shook his head from side to side a few times, and his eyes gradually cleared, he looked at his hands and limbs that were not restrained, but he was not happy, and then looked up and looked around, which made him uneasy.
In front of him was a black steel fence, surrounded by huge stone walls, and beside him there were two sleeping people who seemed to be about his own age.
Seeing the cold, dark space flickering only a cluster of torches on the wall, he knew that he was imprisoned here.
