Chapter 60: Out of the City
Then, he looked up and asked, "At that moment, we'll talk halfway there." Do you think the kidnappers are here for money or for this treasure? Do you think it was the two gangs you saw last night who did it? Have you found out what happened to them?"
"Oh, at that time, Wuyi said that this group of people seems to be the treasure of the Benwang family. Moreover, this group of people acted secretively and quickly, which should have been premeditated. ”
Ula continued to chatter: "Hey, tonight, the father and son of the Wang family happened to bump into someone's muzzle, and Dr. Wang Siren also deliberately provided a convenience, so they tied up the meat ticket without much effort. Scared, this Wang family is still looking for it there like a fly. Hey. ”
Peony Yong couldn't get used to his appearance, so he said, "Don't gloat here, okay." ”
"Hee-hee, okay. Who's going to say it's bad?" Ulla smiled, and then said, "As for the two groups last night--- there is no way to find out. After a moment of hesitation and uncertainty, he said, "Maybe this group is one of them?" ”
Seeing Peony Yong's contemplative expression, Ula hurriedly added his opinion: "In my opinion, we have already got the things, and we have achieved our goal, and other things have nothing to do with us, so why do you love it." Isn't it, Childe?"
While speaking, Ula quacked and saw that Peony Yong was not walking in the direction of the "Kelai Shun" inn, but in the direction of the east of the city, he hurriedly stretched out his arms in front of him and said, "What are you doing?
"Naturally, I went to the east of the city to rescue Wang Tianci. Peony Yong said.
Ula said in disbelief: "Childe, are you okay? Do you really treat him as your own uncle or cousin? You have forgotten how their family treats you! We will be done with the 'Lotus Divine Pearl', why do we care about so many idle things." ”
Peony Yong forcefully pulled Ulla's arm away, and said as he walked: "No matter how you say this, it is caused by the magic weapon, and we can't sit idly by. We took away the 'Lotus Bead', so we can't let people lose even their children. ”
Ula quack followed behind and said unwillingly: "But, but, what if we can't beat people?"
Peony Yong stopped and stared meaningfully into Ulla's eyes. After a while, Ula pouted and lowered his head in the middle of the day, and Peony Yongcai sighed and said as he continued walking: "If we think that we are immortals of the highest rank of mortals, we will all want to act like this, and what qualifications do we have to laugh at and look down on the selfishness and power of mortal humans in the future? This matter is caused by the two of us in the final analysis, isn't it? So, we have to take care of it!
Ulla replied sullenly, not knowing whether to agree or disagree, and then followed without saying a word.
The two of them walked forward in silence for a while, and when they saw a carriage with a carriage with a shack waiting on the side of the street to solicit business, Peony Yong walked over and asked, "Borrowed, we want to go out of the city, can we live?"
The coachman was a short man in his prime, and at first glance he was a timid and fearful master. He looked the two half-grown children up and down with a pair of small eyes, and asked with a little distrust: "It's dark, where are you going to go out of the city?"
Ula Gua pulled Peony aside and stepped forward and said, "Uncle Coachman, our father and mother live outside the city." Therefore, they have to go back quickly when it gets dark, otherwise they won't be able to sleep for the night. ”
As he spoke, he jumped into the car first, stretched out his hand and pulled Peony Yong up.
Peony Yong stood at the head of the carport, took out the money from his arms, handed it to the coachman, and said, "We have money to pay for the car, please hurry up and pull us out of the east city gate." ”
The coachman took the money in his hand, and when he saw that he had given a lot, he pulled out the whip that was stuck in the wheel of the cart and jumped into it. But he said: "Let's make it clear first, it's okay to get out of the city, I can only pull the road to the front of the woods at the farthest, and I won't go any farther." Is that okay?"
Peony Yong shrank into the carport and sat down, and promised, "Yes, yes." Go with confidence. ”
The coachman shook his whip, and the horse's hooves clattered straight up the street out of the city and ran to the east gate.
After walking about six or seven miles after leaving the city gate, Peony Yong and Ula saw that they were about to enter the woods if they went any further, and the small hill was hidden in the depths of the woods. At this time, the driver also stopped the car, and they jumped off.
The wilderness outside the city was no worse than inside the city, and it was pitch black everywhere, with no lights or moonlight, and only a few stars blinking far away in the night sky. The ground in this wild area is uneven, the terrain is treacherous, and the roads are sparsely populated with pedestrians and vehicles. No wonder the thieves chose such a place, even if the government sent troops to search, it was very convenient to escape.
Seeing that the coachman drove the carriage to turn around and walk away, Ula quacked and said, "No wonder this coachman is reluctant to go any further, he is quite a forester." Childe, you yourself walk along this road to the foot of the mountain first, and I will go to investigate and investigate, and I will come back to meet you later. ”
Peony Yong nodded and said, "Okay, you should be careful." Ula Quack then appeared and flew up, flying directly from the air to the small stone mountain where the black shadow was whirring.
From their current location, the distance to Xiaoshizi Mountain is indeed not far away. Ula Quack flew for less than a moment, and he had already come to the small stone mountain. Suddenly, he noticed a little light directly south of the hill, and thought that it must be the location of the ruined temple, so he quietly flew over. Sure enough, just as he expected, it was a dim light shining from the window of the ruined temple.
He first circled around the ruined temple twice, and saw that around the ruined temple, except for the deep barren grass, there were low trees. If it weren't for the light that came out of the temple, nothing could have been seen clearly in this dark night.
Ula cleverly landed on the ridge of the ruined temple, and took advantage of the light to once again inspect the surroundings.
It was quiet, no one could be heard talking or moving, it was so quiet that it didn't seem like a place where the robbers gathered.
Ula grabbed a piece of broken tile with his claws and threw it in front of the broken temple door. Then I heard a voice with a strange accent and a buzzing echo shouting, "What silver?"
In the dark shadows, two figures flashed from behind the low bushes in the clearing in front of them, and the black whirring was not very refreshing.
Ula crouched on the ridge of the broken temple and held his breath, trying not to make a little noise.
At this time, a person came out of the door from the broken temple, and asked in the same accent and buzzing voice, "What's wrong with Xiaoliu, what's wrong?"
One of the two men who was outside replied, "I heard a big drop of movement, I'm afraid they have found it." But when I looked at it, I didn't find any silver. "The person who answered this is the one who is called Xiao Liuzi.
When the people who came out of the house heard this, they came out a little more, and looked around cautiously. I only heard him say: "The second letter hasn't been sent out yet, and it is estimated that they will not be able to find it here at this time." But be careful. ”
At this time, Ula Quack took advantage of the light to see clearly that the three people outside were very short and dressed very strangely. Each of them wore a black hat cape, and their eyes were shiny and the size of an egg. It was too dark for other details to be seen. Ula couldn't help but cry out in her heart: "Grandma Odi, this doesn't look like a mortal." Where did the ghosts come from?"
When the people who came out of the temple went back, Xiao Liuzi and that person also hid in the bushes again, and Ula knew that this must be a secret whistle.
After waiting for a little longer, he flew down gently, and made a still pause in front of the small broken window of the ruined temple, peeking out of the broken lattice:
This is a temple that does not know what god is enshrined, and in the center of the temple is a mighty and righteous sword-wielding general, although it looks heroic, but it is covered with dust. Looking around, along the walls stood a lot of baring teeth, ghosts, snakes, and gods, which were very terrifying to look at, and they were also covered with dust, and it seemed that no one had visited and cleaned them for a long time.
Ula looked hard at the ground of the temple house, and saw that under the throne of the general, several people gathered under a lit candle, as if discussing something together. This time he saw clearly, it turned out that these people were wearing helmet masks, and the sparkling eyes the size of eggs turned out to be blindfolds. Because of the small accent and buzzing echo of his voice, Ula Quack did not have the patience to listen.
At this angle, he didn't notice where the ticket was, so he flew to the small window on the other wall of the temple gate to look at it from a different angle. At this time, he was hit by a small pebble on his back, perhaps because the sound was too loud when he flew just now, which alarmed the dark whistle.
Ulla croaked in pain, cursed in her heart, and flipped out of there with her wings flagged.
Ula quacked over the grove at the foot of the mountain, found a path leading to the mountain, and flew along the path, while looking for the figure of Peony Yong. When he flew all the way to the main road, he saw a black shadow not far away running towards this side at the fastest pace, and he knew that it must be Peony Yong. So he fell down and changed back into human form, and stood on the road waiting.
