Chapter 178: Lu Shi Helps
The dart boat went all the way, for two days in a row, the wind and waves were calm, and it arrived in Yuezhou very smoothly. The comfortable land and water ended here, and the dart team disembarked and turned to the land.
Although Yuezhou is not big, it is an important inland port city, facing the river in the north and Yunmeng Lake in the west, and the geographical location is extremely important.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yu Chong and Bai Lishu decided to stay in Yuezhou tonight for the time being, and set off early tomorrow morning.
Take the road dart, but whenever you encounter a big town, you actually need to be more careful in everything. Because in this kind of place, there are often mixed fish and dragons, and all kinds of local forces gather, once they get into trouble, they will have to go around without food.
The dart team went all the way into the city and found a time-honored inn in the city to stay.
This is also a particular investment, and it is inevitable to play the sharp dart to live in the store, which is about "three non-living".
I don't live in a newly opened store, because the new store doesn't know the details, if you encounter a black store, you will lose your personal wealth if you are not careful.
Second, if the old store suddenly changes owners, there must be a reason. Before figuring it out, this kind of shop should also be kept away, for fear that after the change of ownership, the thief will fall into a trap. Therefore, when the dart team first arrives in a strange place, they will definitely arrange someone to investigate the situation first.
The so-called prostitution shop is a store that combines a hotel and a brothel, and this kind of shop naturally has few good people and many bad people, and it is impossible to live.
If you find an inn, you can't rest assured. After entering the store, I also pay attention to the "three wants".
First, make a walk around the store to see if there are any suspicious people in case you are being targeted.
Second, look around the outside of the store for suspicious signs to prevent people from sticking up.
Third, make a walk around the kitchen to see if anyone is doing anything to prevent anyone from being drugged.
Whenever something goes wrong, the team will take the necessary precautions.
Baili Yu checked the inn inside and out, and found that there was no abnormality, so he was relieved. After all, they have met two groups of people along the way.
Everyone entered the courtyard, parked the dart cart in the courtyard, arranged the dart master on duty, and the others went back to the house to rest. The big room where the dart masters are resting is next to the courtyard, and if there is any unexpected situation, they can support it as soon as possible.
And Yu Zhong and Baili Yu's room is on the second floor, open the window, everything in the courtyard can be seen, and you can grasp the movement outside the courtyard from a high position.
"I always feel like I'm not feeling comfortable if something doesn't happen tonight. Baili Shu leaned against the window and looked at the courtyard and said.
"You're a cheap bone, how can you hope that something will happen?" Yu replied.
"I'm surprised, we have also carefully checked the list of goods, although they are all valuable things, but the Cao Gang is also a big gang, how can they put this money in their eyes. Bai Li said.
"So in this cargo, I'm afraid there are some important items that we don't know about. Yu Zhong guessed.
"The more you say that, the more I want to open it up and take a look, don't test my curiosity. Baili replied.
At this time, the night is really cold, even if you are wearing thick cotton clothes, it is inevitable that there will be some chill when the window is open.
Yu Zhong and Bai Li Yu rubbed their hands together while paying attention to the movement in the yard.
Suddenly, there was a commotion from outside the courtyard, and the two of them were standing on the second floor, just in time to see what was happening outside the courtyard. It seems that several drunk men are molesting a young girl, and the foul language makes people very angry.
When Bai Li saw this kind of thing, his face turned white with anger, and he hated the disciple who bullied women the most in his life. I saw that he picked up the sword and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Yu Zhongyi.
"What are you going to do?" asked Yu Zhong as he reached out to stop him.
"Don't you see this situation, a few men bullying a weak female streamer, it's just a beast. Baili said indignantly.
"Aren't you afraid that you will turn the tiger away from the mountain? Yu Zhong reminded.
The bullied woman's cry for help grew louder and louder, but the guard on duty in the yard was unmoved. For them, there is only one duty, which is to guard the dart car, and everything else has nothing to do with them.
It's just that Baili Shu can't sit still, although he also understands that this matter shouldn't be taken care of, but he just can't hold back his chivalrous heart.
"If it is true, if we don't save us when we see death, we are no different from accomplices. Bai Li said.
At this time, I only saw those drunken men, and the verbal flirting was not enough, and they actually began to move their hands and feet. Baili couldn't hold back any longer, picked up the sword and flew out of the window, jumping in front of the girl.
"Hey, I'm still too young. Yu Zhong shook his head and said. However, he also knew that these drunken little thieves would not be Baili Xuan's opponents.
Sure enough, he sent these guys who had drunk too much away with three punches and two kicks. Look at the girl again, sitting on the ground sobbing in rags, and he hurriedly put his cloak on her body.
"Girl, why are you here alone in the middle of the night, let's go home quickly. Baili squatted down and asked kindly.
"I came to Yuezhou from Changle Town to look for relatives, who knew that I would know that my relatives had already died of illness. Now there is no place to take refuge, and I am penniless, I want to find a place to stay, but I was met by these hooligans, and I met Gongzi at a loss, and the slave family thanked Gongzi for saving him. "When the maiden kneels, she will make a great salute.
Bai Li Yu hurriedly helped her up and said, "This is all a gesture, the girl doesn't have to be polite." ”
Seeing that this girl had a poor background, Baili arranged a room for her in the inn, let her rest for a night, and then find a way when it was dawn tomorrow.
"You're kind, I'll see what you plan to do with her during the day tomorrow. Yu Zhong seemed to gloat a little.
At dawn the next day, everyone packed up and prepared to hit the road. As soon as they got out of the hospital, they saw the girl sitting on the side of the road waiting for them.
"Girl, why are you here?" asked Baili Xuan.
"Childe, I have nowhere to go, why don't you just accept me as a maid, I can do anything, I don't need to be paid, I just want two meals to eat. The girl kept kowtowing, and the pear blossom begged with rain.
The night was too dark last night, and Baili didn't see the girl's appearance clearly, and now this time I look at it, and it is also a chic little beauty embryo.
"Girl, we are darts, eating and sleeping all the way, it is very hard, I am afraid it will be inconvenient to take you. Baili replied.
"Childe, I'm not afraid of hard work, I'm only willing to follow you all the way and take care of you, please accept me. "Look at it like this, Baili Shu didn't agree, this girl was going to kneel for a long time.
In this situation, Bai Li Yu had no idea, and hurriedly cast a look at Yu Zhong for help.
"I said it earlier, you're in trouble. Yu Zhong was stealing fun while counting the falls.
"Okay, then you can follow us on the road, but it's really not convenient for us to take you along the way. In this way, Changle Town is not too far from Yuezhou, we will escort you all the way home, you see how it is. Baili couldn't resist this girl, so she came up with a compromise idea.
When the girl heard that Bai Liyu was willing to take her on the road and send her home, she immediately jumped up with joy, and nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice.
The dart team went all the way out of the city and went straight to Changle Town. Baili Shu and this girl shared a horse, laughing and laughing all the way, so happy.
But Yu Zhong rode his horse and walked behind the two of them all the time, his expression was very serious.
Generally, when walking darts, there are no special circumstances, and it is most forbidden to change the route temporarily, so that many arrangements have to be reformulated.
Taking advantage of the fact that the team stopped to rest for a while, Yu Zhong found the dart master in charge of guiding the way, took out the map, and discussed.
"Originally, we were going all the way south to Luocheng, but since we were going to Changle Town, our route here would start to go a little more southeast. The dart master said.
"This road has deviated from the official road, is there any problem?" asked Yu Zhong, pointing to the map.
"Although the road to Changle Town is a small road, it is not too difficult to walk, but this place in Changle Town is ......" The dart master seemed to have some doubts.
"What's wrong with this place?" asked Yu Chong.
"I heard that because of the plague in Changle Town, the whole town fled and was deserted, maybe the rumors are wrong. The master replied.
Hearing this, Yu Zhong couldn't help but be alert, he looked at the girl, and felt that her smile seemed to have a strange taste.
"Now that I've come this far, I might as well take a look at what medicine she's selling in her gourd. Yu Zhong said secretly in his heart.
After the rest, the dart team continued to move forward, and seeing that it was about to be sunset, everyone finally arrived at Changle Town. It's just strange that it's not deserted, as the dart master said. On the contrary, it is a lively town, full of peace.
Yu Zhong found that the townspeople he met after entering the town were all smiling and welcoming. It's just that their smiles seem to be carved out of a mold, without any emotion, and they look a little weird.
"Brother Baili, thank you for escorting me all the way back, there is my house in front. The girl said.
"I noticed that you people in Changle Town seem to be very happy, is there anything to be happy about?" asked Baili Xuan.
"Hehe, the people of our Changle Town are so happy every day, that's why we took the name of this town. The girl also put on the same smile as the townspeople, and Yu Zhong was stunned for a while.
He had a vague feeling in his heart that this town was not only a problem, but a big problem.
The town is not big, there are no inns, so the dart team temporarily rested in the ancestral hall of the town, and only here are some empty houses that can accommodate so many of them.
After setting up the dart car, Baili Shu patrolled around, looking at a large number of tablets enshrined in the ancestral hall, a cool breeze blew, and he couldn't help but shiver a few times.
"I said, Brother Yu, don't you think there's something weird here. Bai Lixi's voice was a little trembling.
