Early in the morning of the fifth day, Li Yatou and a group of empty soldiers kicked open Ying'er's room, which was empty, and there was an unburned note next to the oil lamp on the table, on which were written the three words 'Tiansheng Bridge'.

Li Yatou scolded angrily: "This little rabbit cub really ran away, it seems that there are still accomplices, chase me to the 'Tiansheng Bridge'!"

The soldiers scattered and ran out, and Zhao Jiuzhong heard the sound, just in time to see Li Yatou angrily pounding the pillar in the corridor of the inn.

Zhao Jiuzhong asked, "Why is Lord Yatou so angry?"

Li Yatou gritted his teeth and snorted word by word: "I have been tricked by this little rabbit cub for four days, hum!"

Zhao Jiuzhong was optimistic: "Maybe the little brother is chasing the thief?"

Li Yatou shouted: "Hmph! He has the ability to catch thieves, I will write the character upside down!" After speaking, he rushed out.

Zhao Jiuzhong shouted from behind: "Where there is a place for Zhao, the head of the yatou just has to explain ......"

Li Yatou stopped, rolled his eyes, turned his head and beckoned to Zhao Jiuzhong: "Then there is Brother Lao Zhaoxian! Follow me back to lead the horse and see where the little rabbit is running......!"

Zhao Jiuzhong said: "Zhao's horse is in the backyard of the inn, Lord Yatou will wait for a while, and I will lead the horse."

Zhong Sheng was eating noodles at the door of the noodle restaurant, and when he saw Li Yatou running in front and Zhao Jiuzhong riding a horse following behind, he shouted: "Lord Yatou and Brother Zhao are going!"

Li Yatou ignored him, Zhao Jiuzhong stopped and said politely: "Yatou is going to arrest the little brother yesterday, I'll go and see, do you want Brother Zhong to come along?"

Zhong Sheng frowned and said ashamedly: "I am inconvenient in my lower legs and feet, and I can't ride a horse, I'm afraid I can't keep up with you, and I have a weak heart!"

"Then I'll go first" Zhao Jiu saw that Li Yatou had run away, so he hurriedly chased after him.

Riding a horse straight to the bottom of Laojun Mountain, to the 'Tiansheng Bridge' can only walk up the mountain, Li Yatou and Zhao Jiuzhong led a group of angry soldiers to run up the mountain panting.

Running to the Tiansheng Bridge, there was no trace nearby, Li Yatou shouted loudly: "Go up the mountain and search for me!"

The soldiers took spears to search the mountain, angrily poked in the grass, searched for nearly an hour and found nothing, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the birds in the mountains became fewer, except for a few eagle chirps, but also quiet.

Zhao Jiuzhong did not go to search, standing on the bridge to see the scenery, this natural bridge is a waterfall pouring down from the cliff, after thousands of years of impact, the waterfall is like the Milky Way Fallout, splashing into the waterhole below, the waterhole is crystal clear, the strange stones in the pool are in a thousand forms, accompanied by groups of fish shuttle freely, it is refreshing, the Tiansheng Bridge mountain rock is stacked, overgrown with wild flowers and green trees, full of bluegrass, the fragrance is overflowing, like the bridge of fairyland.

An eagle's chirping came from the air, Zhao Jiuzhong frowned and remembered that he had heard the chirping of an eagle in the inn last night, and thought, "This little brother's name is Ying'er, didn't he raise this eagle?" He smiled to himself: "Interesting, interesting......"

The soldiers were tired after searching for a while, and ran to the stream by the Tiansheng Bridge to drink water.

Zhao Jiuzhong also drank some water in the past, and was full of praise: "It's so sweet, it's so sweet, I can't imagine that there is such a fairyland here, if you bring a red face and live in seclusion here, this life is enough......"

A soldier next to him smiled: "Zhao Daxia is still so Yaxing, Hongyan is here, look at it, look at it......"

Three or five soldiers escorted a young woman and an old man in sackcloth, and Li Yatou followed behind and touched his chin as if thinking about something, sometimes rolling his eyes, sometimes frowning......

Zhao Jiuzhong got up and walked over and asked, "Is this a mistake, how can the thief be an old and weak woman and child?"

The old man in Mai nodded and said, "The old man and the little girl are not thieves, they are not thieves, the poor man misunderstood......

Zhao Jiuzhong looked at Nuo'er, although he was dressed in coarse cloth clothes and his hair was a little messy, but a pair of watery glasses were pitiful, which made people feel pity.

"The old gentleman and the girl don't need to panic, Li Yatou is a good official who is sensible, and when he finds out the truth, he will not be embarrassed. After Zhao Jiuzhong finished speaking, he looked at Li Yatou.

Li Yatou asked sharply: "If you don't explain honestly, I will order the soldiers to throw you into this waterhole to feed the fish!"

At this time, a soldier came over and asked, "Where did you two come from, and why did you run into this cave?"

Mai Lao Suo sighed and shook his head: "Our father and daughter live in the southwest foot of Shenlong Mountain, a month ago there was a scholar who asked for an official to come to spend the night, and the little girl fell in love at first sight, the old man married the little girl to him, this is only a few days after the marriage, the aunt said that he was afraid of missing the time to ask for an official, so he went to Jiangling Mansion to seek an official, the little girl thought hard for a few days and could not rest assured, she had to go to Jiangling to find a husband, this everywhere climbed the mountain and waded in the water, last night at the foot of the mountain heard that there were thieves in the town, so he ran to the cave in the mountain and hid all night...... Alas"

The old man's daughter wiped her tears and sobbed: "We inquired at the foot of the mountain in the west, and said that a scholar-like person and a group of hunters who were not afraid of death had entered the mountain, thinking that they should have gone to the east to find ...... here."

Li Yatou's eyes rolled, and he sighed: "If I guess correctly, you nerd is so ruthless, you dug up two thousand-year-old ginseng in Shenlong Mountain and bought a few thousand taels of silver, and you have enjoyed yourself in the town for the past two days?"

Zhao Jiuzhong widened his glasses and exclaimed, "Isn't this Brother Zhong's family?"

The old man in Mai rubbed and held Zhao Jiuzhong's hand: "Yes, yes, my son-in-law is surnamed Zhong, have you ever seen this master!"

The old man's daughter also burst into tears and laughed, clasped her hands together and said: "Thank God, thank God, thank God......"

Zhao Jiuzhong laughed: "It must be Brother Zhong's family, you can't be wrong, you can't be wrong, let's go, I'll take you down the mountain to find him." ”

The soldiers stood there in twos and threes, muttering:

"That's a good nerd life......

"Yes, yes, not only did he not die when he entered the mountain, but he also got two thousand-year-old ginseng ......"

"I also want to go into the mountains, let's go into the mountains to dig thousand-year-old ginseng together......

"I didn't go, I went to more than a dozen people, and he came back, it is estimated that the poisonous snake and beast are full, and I think this scholar is thin, hahaha....."

"This little lady is so handsome, look at ...... you"

"If you don't die, you will be blessed......"

Li Yatou coughed twice, but the soldiers were silent, and looked at the father and daughter: "You saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy last night or this morning?"

Mai Lao Su gestured and said: "There is indeed a person roasting rabbits near this bridge at dawn today, my father and daughter dare not come closer, and then the young man went down the mountain after eating the rabbit,......" After speaking, he pointed to a pile of firewood by the bridge, and there were some bones next to it.
