Part 50 - Being Stalked

It's been two days and one night since I came to Jiwu County, and I don't have a place to stay. The four of them wanted to find a better inn to sleep in for a night, but they were afraid of too many people. After walking around the county for most of the time, and after making sure that no one was following, the four of them chose a small secluded hotel to live in.

Don't look at this restaurant is not very big, the craftsmanship of the chef here is very good. The four of them had a hearty meal. After eating, we got together and talked about what had happened in the past two days. Mengzi asked his uncle, "Is the one wearing the mask today their person?"

"I once heard that there is a team of people at the headquarters, called Langya Minglang, each wearing half a mask. Yako said.

"This person is obviously coming for us, I guess that's it. Uncle guessed.

"What is this Langya Minglang responsible for?" asked Yumeko.

"Minglang, as the name suggests, is of course life-seeking. Miko played with a shuttle dart in her hand, and her thin face became even heavier.

"Wouldn't it? I just got a Langya Commander, and now there's another Langya Commander. Didn't you just visit the headquarters of Langya once, as for chasing after you so relentlessly?" said the man angrily.

"You won't still come for Miko, right?" Mengzi became nervous, "According to the level, Langya Minglang must be more powerful than Langya Ling, last time we already took a Luozi, this time we won't hurt another one." ”

"I'm afraid this time they're not just targeting Miko, it's all of us. The uncle also looked serious, "Now that Lhotse is not here, we must be careful in everything." ”

"Then should we go back to Chenliu first, Jiwu County is so small, it won't take two days, and we can bump into it." Yumeko proposed.

"What are you afraid of, the four of us join forces, I don't believe we can't beat it. Gully said.

"Maybe it's just one. Yumeko pouted, "Besides, their mission is to ask for their lives, and our mission is not to be desperate." ”

"What Mengzi said is reasonable, there is no need for us to fight with them at all. Besides, we don't know what their purpose is in arresting us this time. Uncle agreed with Yumeko's statement.

"We'll stay at the inn for two days to see if they'll come to you. ”

"And then?"

"Then, we split up. Yako and I stayed with Kego to continue our inquiry. Mengzi and Gully will return to Chenliu first, and we will stay in the guest building three days later. "Uncle is deployed.

"Can you two handle Langya Minglang, what if they come seven or eight like last time?"

"Langya is one by one, and there are not many people in total. We don't need to come at all, and according to my estimates, the most likely three people who came this time will only come. "Uncle comforts Yumeko.

"What do you mean, me and Mengzi will lead one away first?"

"Otherwise, let's go back to Chenliu together, and the four of us will always take care of it. "Yumeko is still not at ease.

"No, I have one more thing to figure out. Uncle said.

"What's the matter?"

"That day, we saw that Xiahou Gongzi in the courtyard. "Yako understands what her uncle said and wants to figure out something.

"Which Xiahou son?" asked the man who didn't react a little.

"Which one else, it must be the Xiahou son who took Luozi. Yumeko poked the gully.

"What? What do you mean, that Xiahou or something, arrested the two of you?" Gully almost jumped up when he heard this, "I saw this guy strange at first sight, and while hypocritically saying that he would save Lhotse, he also sent someone to tie you up, and if he didn't know it, he would have arrested Lhotse earlier." ”

The uncle said, "Probably not, I still believe in him." And according to the situation at the time, he should not know that it was the two of us who were kidnapped. So I'm going to stay here to find out what these people have to do with him, and why they got the wordless bamboo slips, maybe I can still see Lhotse. ”

On the third day, it was drizzling. The four of them got up early.

To make a scene, you have to do enough, and the uncle thinks that Langya Minglang must be watching them nearby, and only if he slips away as soon as possible, will he be considered afraid of finding out. The four of them asked the store for four coats and hats, settled the bill, and quietly walked out of the inn. The silent street was filled with moist freshness, and the four men went out of the store, identified the direction on the street, and headed north and south in two separate ways.

The rain in late autumn is as fine as a cow's hair.

On the high roof, two figures loomed in the morning rain, their clothes already wet. Both of them put their hands behind their backs and did not move. One pose, the same dress, the same mask, the same eyes. The only difference is that a person carries a long, narrow knife on his back.

Seeing the four people hurrying away in two ways, the two still didn't move. It wasn't until he saw that the two groups of people were about to disappear into the gray darkness of the rain curtain that a man in black waved his hand, and the man in black with a long knife on his back flew to another roof, and galloped away along the ridge in the direction where his uncle and Miko went. The other man in black turned and headed in the third direction.

It is true that they are life-seeking, but this time the mission is not to ask for life, but to chase life.

Back to the racecourse, it was already a place where people went to the horses and the house was empty.

Miko went in and out of the courtyard several times, and carefully surveyed it. Then he whispered to Miko: "Even people and horses seem to have entered the ground... ”

"Into the ground, you mean vanished out of thin air?"

"It's not just disappearing, it's really going to the ground. As she spoke, Miko rushed down with her thumb and pointed to the ground secretly.

"There's a mechanism in the yard?"

"The agency should not be in the courtyard, but over there. As she spoke, Miko glanced into the woods in the distance.

"Shall we come along?" asked Miko as she looked around. He was obviously asking his uncle if he wanted to take the people who came with him.

"In that case, let's go inside and wait. The uncle suddenly raised his voice, and pulled Miko through the courtyard gate and directly into the courtyard. Compared with the stables in the front yard, the courtyard is much more elegant, with shadow walls, flower beds, and ring corridors, which is a bit like a house. The uncle chose the largest main house, pushed the door and walked in generously. When Miko explored just now, she found that all the doors of this courtyard were not locked, and the owner was so relieved that either there was really nothing valuable here, or the owner was powerful enough to know that no one would dare to steal it.

The uncle took off his coat and hat, shook off the rain on the corners of his clothes, sat on the wide Taishi chair and said to Miko: "Since there is no one in the racecourse, it is the same wherever we enter, so it is better to find a spacious and comfortable one." ”

"In this way, the people who follow us will assume that the owner of the horse farm knows us. Miko nodded.

"Today we will have a good night's rest here and go into the forest tomorrow morning. ”

The rain actually fell all day, and it didn't stop until night. After washing, everything becomes unusually clear, and against the background of the moonlight, it is like a dream. The courtyard is full of "dry lotus drainage, the courtyard is reckless, the banana leaves are late yellow, and the sycamore is withered early." Late autumn remnants.

Since no one or the two of them simply come to an anti-customer, they will do it themselves. Miko took out a lot of hoarded food from the kitchen and said to her uncle, "It seems that these people are just leaving temporarily, not to abandon the courtyard and run away." The two of them started to stir-fry together, and after a while, they actually made up four dishes and one soup.

The two of them took out a small table and three chairs from the house and put them under the porch, stacked three pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and the uncle stood in the courtyard and shouted: "Since they are all from the same family, it has rained for a day and a night, if you don't dislike it, come down and eat something, warm and warm." ”

After a while, half of his body stood up behind the ridge, and his face was half pale in the moonlight. The man was clearly hesitant to go down. When the uncle saw him, he smiled slightly and arched his hand: "Presumably, Your Excellency is Langya Minglang, the seventh son of Langya." The man hesitated again before he turned over and saw the long knife on his back, and they knew that he was the one who had fought with the old man and them yesterday.

The man reluctantly arched his hand at his uncle and Miko, which was regarded as a greeting. Miko raised her hand and threw him a dry towel, which he reached out to catch and wiped his hair. The man's clothes were drenched and glistening in the moonlight, but Langya's killer costumes were all characteristic, lined with shark skin, to protect them from the rain and wind. After wiping, the man was not polite, found a vacant seat and sat down, picked up the bowl, and ate slowly. The uncle brought him a bowl of soup and put it in front of him. The man nodded in gratitude.

"I heard that Langya's life is impermanent, I don't know if Your Excellency is asking for my life?" The man listened to his uncle's words, did not look up and continued to eat quietly, and when he had eaten the last grain of rice, the last bite of food, the last spoonful of soup, and the last sip of tea, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, said softly: "Thank you", and then got up and flew out of the courtyard, disappearing on the edge of the moon and night.
