Chapter 37: In the Wolf's Lair
I don't know how long it took, Mi Bang began to wake up, but his mind was still not very clear, and he suddenly remembered his task, so he turned his head to look around in a panic, and his vision stopped at Shaoyuan standing by the window. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Shaoyuan didn't look back, but said in a deep voice, "Are you awake?"
Mibang looked around, it was an attic, and asked, "Where is this?"
At this time, the moonlight sprinkled on Shao Yuan's face through the window, with Shao Yuan's slightly serious face, it looked very cold, and then Shao Yuan shook his head, "I don't know, but I guess it's Zhang Bashanli, you look at the water stains on your body, they haven't dried yet, and it will take about an hour to let these water stains dry." It's less than an hour's journey, and he's going to have to take at least a dozen unconscious people with him, and it's not going anywhere, so I guess it's in the middle of the mountain."
Mi Bang came to the window and looked around, this is the attic, just to be able to see a rough "It's actually such a big stockade!" I couldn't help but be taken aback when I looked at it seriously, "Zhang Bashan ...... No wonder, no wonder!" Mi Bang figured out the joint point, and said to Shaoyuan, "No wonder my gang has been looking in Xuzhou for so long and has not found a place for this group of people, and the news has been interrupted repeatedly, all because this group of people is hiding in Yangzhou, but they act in Xuzhou first, so they are cunning."
Shaoyuan nodded, "Then what do you think you should do now?"
Mi Bang cupped his cheeks and thought for a moment, "We are in this small attic at this moment, and it stands to reason that we should not be arrested like other day laborers." This means that we started by going into the day job and finding people I can help, and this plan is not feasible for the time being. Now, let's walk with foresight, improvise, and wait for the opportunity"
A rush of footsteps came from the stairs of the attic, and a man in a cyan coat ran up, shouting at the two, "Hey, you two newcomers, come here, Guan Ye and Brother Chuan want to see you"
"Here, right away" Shaoyuan tilted his head and motioned for the two to go down
It turned out that the house was someone else's residence, but because it was built relatively high and larger, there was an attic for the two of them to live in. Downstairs, there are more than a dozen beds. On the other side of the door, there were two people standing by the door, looking out the window. One of them was the leader who brought in Shaoyuan Mibang.
"Uncle, are you looking for us?" asked Shaoyuan humbly
"Ah, you're awake" The leader turned his head and looked at the two of them, then turned to an old man with white hair in a big cotton jacket beside him, "Uncle Guan, these two are the people I brought back recently, what do you think?"
Uncle Guan tilted his head slightly, pointed at Mi Bang and said slowly, "It's him, he looks smart."
Brother Chuan nodded, and said to Mi Bang, "Boy, this is the chief pharmacist of our village, the old man, from tomorrow onwards, I will go to the pharmacy in the west every day to report, understand?"
Although he didn't know exactly what he did, Mi Bang heard the key point "Chief Pharmacist", and he knew that maybe it was very likely to get clues about what they were developing from here.
Brother Chuan also patted Shaoyuan, "You kid will follow me tomorrow, you will do whatever I ask you to do, you know?"
Shaoyuan nodded, seeing this. Brother Chuan patted the third son and said, "Third son, if they have anything to do, take care of the two of them, do you know?"
The third son nodded, "Okay, Brother Chuan"
After speaking, Brother Chuan and Guan Ye turned around and left.
The three of them watched the two of them depart, and were silent for a moment
"Eh, third brother, that ......" Shaoyuan was the first to break the silence
"What's the matter, let's talk about it" Sanzi didn't look at him, but said lightly
"I'm a little hungry...... Do you still have anything to eat?" Shao Yuan asked a little embarrassed
At this time, Mibang's stomach also rumbled......
Sanzi looked at the two brothers who were so hungry that they couldn't do it and patted their heads with a smile, "Okay, okay, you guys wait here, I'll go to the kitchen to get a few steamed buns."
I don't know that Mi Bang doesn't plan to wait obediently, "I don't think it's necessary to go with the third brother, why don't we both follow you, so let's recognize the way, we are new to the city, and there are some rules I want to ask you for advice."
The third son thought about it, and it seemed that there was no problem, so he nodded and turned around, "Let's go, keep up"
With his back to the third son, Mi Bang stretched out his thumb to Shaoyuan, and the corners of Shaoyuan's eyebrows trembled, making a gesture of applause.
On the way there, neither of them asked much questions, but looked around, and Shaoyuan looked at the guards on patrol. Mi Bang is to observe the houses one by one to see if he can find clues about the places where people are locked up.
The kitchen is not far away, Sanzi lit up the kitchen, heated up the steamed buns, and then sat down with his ass, complaining, "Damn, in this mountain, the colder it gets at night, it's really a sin."
Shao Yuan was used to staying in the north, but he didn't feel cold, and seeing that Shao Yuan didn't seem to feel anything, the third son remembered that they should have something to ask him, "Hey, boys, do you have something to ask me?"
Mi Bang immediately nodded, "Third brother, why did we fall asleep when we came in?"
The third brother was surprised and then said, "Oh, rules, rules, why, I don't know"
Shaoyuan then asked, "Third brother, how long have you been here?"
Miko thought for a while and shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, I don't have any impression, a year or two years?"
Shaoyuan then asked, "Third brother, where did the others go?"
The third son suddenly stopped, and said half-smiled and half-seriously, "I don't know, maybe I went to the mountains to find something, anyway, it's not in our hands, I tell you, what about working here, can you ask less, if you don't know, don't know, do you know?"
Mi Bang knew that Shaoyuan's questions were too hasty, so he hurriedly said, "The third brother has learned a lesson, by the way, third brother, is there anything we should pay attention to?"
The third son thought for a while, "I guess it's nothing, there is nothing to do in the village in normal times, I don't know where the master is, but the master of Sichuan is okay, usually he is moving and carrying with the brothers, some strange stones and mines, that's all"
Shaoyuan and Mi Bang thought at the same time, "Isn't it a raw material?"
Shaoyuan asked, "Third brother, can't we wander around at night?"
The third brother took a lot of Shaoyuan, thinking that he wanted to sneak back when he first came, so he said with a smile, "I said that you kid didn't think this was a thief ship when he first came, and he wanted to run, right?"
Shao Yuan thought to himself, "Isn't this a thief ship......
The third son then said, "Where are you going to wander around the barren mountains and mountains here? You are not afraid of being bitten away by some jackal at night?" And let me tell you, once someone wanted to run out, it is said that the door of this village is a labyrinth, if you don't know the way, you will get lost in it, so don't you kid keep thinking about running around, stay here honestly, you know?"
Shao Yuan nodded, "Oh, I understand, third brother"
"The steamed buns should be ready, wait for me" said that, the third son turned around and went to get the steamed buns
Eating hot steamed buns, Shaoyuan joked, "I guess, third brother, you must be working here because of steamed buns."
Sanzi was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "You kid said it well"
This time it was Shaoyuan's turn to be frightened, and he couldn't help choking, and Mi Bang was also surprised.
Sanzi looked at the incredulous expressions of the two, and said with a smile, "At that time, I was almost hungry, Brother Chuan gave me a steamed bun, and since then, I have made up my mind to follow Brother Chuan, but I don't have any ability, out of brute strength, follow Brother Chuan outside the run, back to this village, I will be responsible for cooking, how, are these steamed buns?"
Shaoyuan and Mi Bang suddenly realized, and said at the same time, "It's delicious, it's really delicious"
Miko also said, "As long as you work in the kitchen, you will no longer be afraid of hunger, that's what I think."
There were not many steamed buns, and they were eaten in three or two, and the third son saw that the two of them had finished eating, and they also blew out the candles and took the two back to the place where they slept.
The moon slowly crept into the air, and under the moonlight, the noisy village slowly fell silent, the lights of the houses were blown out, and everyone began to sleep, leaving only the night watchmen patrolling back and forth.
In the attic in the middle of the night
"Did you sleep?" asked Shao Yuan in a low voice
"How can you sleep ......" responded to Mibang's helpless voice
"I'm going to explore this village," Shaoyuan said
"I have the same intention, why don't we go together?" replied Mibang
"No, no, no, if someone suddenly raids the night, and neither of them is there, it doesn't make sense, if only one person goes, you can still say that you don't know where the thatched house is, and create an opportunity for the remaining one"
"Okay, be careful, where are you going to get out?"
Shao Yuan pointed to the window, "This is the window, I didn't plan to go down to the ground easily tonight, I just saw a large pile of wooden boxes piled up behind the kitchen, I can go up and down from there, don't worry"
By the moonlight, Shao Yuan gently pushed open the window and stood on the roof, like a lone wolf lurking in the dark night, staring at the prey below, Shao Yuan put on a mask and said softly, "Wolf blood and tiger mouth?
