Chapter 2 Escape

Zilong smiled and walked on the streets of Nanyang City with great interest.

"Haha, wearing good clothes is different, others look at themselves differently than before, they must treat me as the son of a rich family, as the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, today I have experienced, where is this pharmacy? Zilong grabbed a passer-by and asked, "This big brother, where is the pharmacy?"

"Go straight ahead and turn a corner. ”

Zilong thanked him, and then walked in the direction of the pharmacy, but he didn't go far when he saw the evil beggar who beat him in the morning. Zilong's heart was startled and suddenly relaxed, and he said in his heart: "Now that Lao Tzu is wearing such clothes, I'm afraid you won't recognize Lao Tzu." ”

I was about to go over, but I found that there were officers and soldiers behind a few of them, and after careful observation, I realized that these beggars were being driven out of the city by officers and soldiers, and I thought that these evil beggars must have offended the officials, and they really have evil retribution, and they deserve to have bad luck, and listen to what they say.

Zilong crept into them, only to hear the head of the wicked beggar begging for mercy repeatedly.

"Official, it's good, let's continue to stay in Nanyang City, this is a little bit of the brothers' thoughts, please accept it." As he spoke, he took out a handful of broken silver from the broken bag and held it in both hands.

The official showed a look of embarrassment, and whispered: "Not this time, it's not that I won't help you, it's that I really can't help you, this is the prefect's personal order, and you who want food will be driven out of the city immediately." ”

The wicked beggar was taken aback, and said, "What the hell is this, sir?" and handed the silver to the official.

The official sighed and said: "For the sake of the silver, I will tell you that tomorrow the big red man around the emperor, Gonggong Liu, will come to Nanyang to run the business, in order to let Gonggong Liu know how rich we are in Nanyang, there are no poor people, so you must be driven away." ”

The evil beggar suddenly realized: "The little one understands, let Gonggong Liu know that the prefect has governed Nanyang so well, and he will definitely be promoted and reused." I hope that the official will inform him after Grandpa Liu leaves, and when we come back, it will definitely be indispensable to you, the official master. ”

The official said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I know, let's go!"

After saying that, a group of beggars walked in the direction of the city gate.

Zilong nodded and said, "I see! Fortunately, I was lucky enough to change into this dress, otherwise I would definitely suffer a big loss when I met an official errand." ”

Zilong continued to move forward, and saw a group of people gathered around, pointing fingers and talking about each other, and he was curious, so he walked in front of him, and it turned out that there was a wanted notice posted on the wall.

I only heard an onlooker say: "It is said that this woman in black has been wanted for more than a year, and the government has not been able to catch her until now." ”

"Is it so powerful?"

"Of course, I heard that few of the people who were robbed by her came back alive, killing people without blinking. ”

"But I heard that she killed all martial arts people, specializing in dart trucks, gold and silver jewelry, and martial arts cheats. ”

"I heard that this incident has alarmed the emperor, and the emperor sent Jinyi Wei down to arrest people, but she killed none of them. ”

"Alarm the emperor? That's great, she must not come to Nanyang!"

Everyone was talking about it, but Zilong didn't take it to heart, he just thought: "This person's kung fu is so powerful, if I can learn her one-and-a-half moves, I won't be beaten, and I can avenge Uncle Zhu!"

Zilong came to the pharmacy and said, "Boss, come with two bottles of gold sore medicine, and some of the best tonics!"

The owner of the pharmacy looked at him and knew that he was a layman, so he took out some gold sore medicine for him, and took out a few bottles of finished tonics, and asked, "Is this enough?"

Zilong looked at the same, and said, "Enough, how much is the boss?"

"Fifteen taels"

Zilong's eyes glared out, "So expensive?"

The boss pouted and said, "I don't have money and I want to be treated!"

In the past, Zilong had any disease was a resistant, and if he was really sick, he would dig up some herbs to eat, and he had never bought good medicine for himself, but this time he spent fifteen taels of silver to buy medicine, and he really experienced the life of a rich man. Fortunately, these "ill-gotten gains" are enough for fifteen taels, for the sake of Uncle Zhu, let's have a luxury.

"Of course I have, what is fifteen taels?

Zilong took the medicine and just went back to give Uncle Zhu the medicine quickly, he didn't pay attention, and bumped into a passer-by, Zilong said "I'm sorry" and continued to walk, but who knew that the passer-by shouted: "He knocked me out!

Zilong was shocked, and hurriedly looked back, but found that it was the passerby he had just knocked out, but he didn't expect him to wake up and come to the city, let alone recognize him so quickly. Zilong stuck out his tongue and ran, looking behind him as he ran, but found that the passer-by was pointing out himself to the official who had arrived.

"Oh, it's bad, so how can I go back and deliver medicine to Uncle Zhu?"

Zilong ran up in a panic, and the official behind him shouted: "Stop, stop for me!"

Zilong said in his heart: "The fool only stops!" Zilong knew that no matter from left to right, he couldn't escape, so anxious that his head broke out in a cold sweat, and he heard the voices of the officers and soldiers getting closer and closer, and it seemed that he had to jump off the wall, but the wall was so high, I don't know if I could turn over, even if I turned over, I would fall half to death, but seeing that I didn't turn over again, I was not in a hurry, Zilong put the medicine in his arms, and jumped horizontally, climbing the high wall, this jump has broken through his limit, and he must not be able to jump so high, so he desperately turned over.

The officials chased him to the alley, but they didn't find Zilong, "What about the people, obviously I saw that he ran here, and searched separately!"

Zilong felt his aching buttocks and got up and quietly squatted under the wall, listening carefully to the movement outside the wall. Knowing that everyone was gone, he relaxed his nerves and stood up, and looked around. This doesn't matter, Zilong was immediately stunned.I saw that the four courtyard walls of this courtyard are all carved with graceful patterns, along the wall flowers and trees are lush, green smoke and mist are swirling in the meantime.A fresh breeze blows, all around is the fragrance of flowers.The center of the courtyard is a pool, there is a rockery next to the pool, the pavilion bamboo bridge is not lacking, the lotus leaf duckweed is the same. Zilong was born in a poor family, how could he have seen such an elegant place. While sighing, it actually aroused a little sadness among the young man. Zilong secretly calculated that he had been away from home for four years, and he had missed the warmth of his home all the time in the past four years. How nice it would be if I could have such a manor in the future!

I was thinking about it, and suddenly heard a sound of footsteps not far away. Slightly startled, Zilong hurriedly dodged and hid behind the rockery, holding his breath and not daring to make a sound. The man in the house replied, "Okay, girl, please rest assured, the little one has been written down!" The maid turned around and left. Zilong's heart could hardly be calm, because from the moment the door opened, Zilong smelled a fragrance that he had never smelled in his life. Zilong swallowed his saliva, pressed his rumbling stomach again, crept to the side of the house, and secretly looked into the window, knowing that this was the dining room of this manor, and the two cooks were busy with their backs to him at this time.

I only heard a fat cook say to another thin cook: "Every time the master goes out, the lady is worried, and every time he comes back, he must make delicacies from the mountains and seas to entertain the master." ”

The thin cook laughed, "That's not good, we can borrow the light to taste these delicacies that no one else can eat in a lifetime."

Fat cook: "Why does the old man go out for so many days a month?"

The thin cook said: "I don't understand either, hey, why are we doing so much!"

It turned out that Zilong saw that Bai Huahua's steamed buns were placed under the window and within reach. Hunger prompted Zilong to take the risk of being discovered, slowly put his arm in, and grabbed two steamed buns. Because of that wonderful feeling, Zilong was suddenly excited.

"Well, I remember that the wild cat was chased away by me, is it coming back? I have to beat the little beast to death this time!" said him, and walked out.

Seeing this, Zilong complained bitterly.Before he found out, he ran to the front yard.As soon as he turned the corridor, Zilong bumped into a woman who was walking towards him.The woman was about to scream, Zilong covered her mouth, only to find that it was the maid just now, and it was estimated that he was coming to tell the cook again.Zilong looked left and right, and saw a small door not far away, so he didn't think much about it at the moment, and hid in with the maid.

When Zilong closed the door with his backhand, he realized that this was originally a firewood house, and the house was full of dry firewood, and there was very little room for shelter.

Zilong couldn't, so he had to cover the girl's mouth, stick to the wall, and listen to the movement outside.

Zilong let out a sigh of relief, looked down, and was suddenly startled: "I saw that the maid's face was flushed, and she had already been frightened by this sudden fear. ”

Zilong suddenly panicked, and wanted to comfort her for a few words, but he didn't know where to start, held back for a long time, and only said hesitantly: "You...... Don't cry! I'm not a bad person. I was chased by officers and soldiers and had no choice but to climb over the wall and enter your house. You can do well, don't tell others, let me hide here for a while, okay?" After finishing speaking, I found that I was still covering people's mouths, thinking to myself that this is like begging someone. I thought that she hadn't promised herself yet, and I wanted to let go of her, wouldn't it be bad if she screamed? For a moment, I felt in a dilemma. The maid saw that he didn't look like a villain, and saw his embarrassed expression, and immediately understood his thoughts. Nodding vigorously, Zilong let go of his hand with confidence, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

The maid also dispelled some of her fears, and said, "It looks like you don't look like a bad person."

Zilong hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I am a good person, really a good person!"

The maid said: "Since you are a good person, why are you chased by officers and soldiers?"

"I, I was originally a little beggar," Zilong said embarrassedly, "my Uncle Zhu was injured by a beggar in the city, and now his life and death are uncertain, in order to treat him, I robbed a pedestrian to buy medicine in the city, but I ran into officers and soldiers, and they chased me desperately, so I fled here......" said while checking the maid's face.

After hearing this, the maid understood what he was doing very well, and said: "It is not right for you to rob people and property, but I also understand your desire to save people's hearts." The officers and soldiers here are fierce, if you are caught by them, it will be miserable, last time I saw a thief caught by them and beaten to death."

When Zilong heard this, he begged: "Sister, let me hide here for the time being, saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and my sister doesn't want me to be beaten to death at such a young age!"

The maid said: "Of course not, I am also a good person, you can hide in this firewood room until night, and it should be very safe to sneak out of the city while it is dark." ”

Zilong was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was busy kneeling down and kowtowing, and said while kowtowing: "Thank you, sister!" The maid saw him make such a big gift, and hurriedly helped him up and said: "There is no need to make this big gift", Zilong touched his head and said: "When I want to eat, people give me a few copper plates, I will kowtow three times, sister, this is a life-saving grace, I am not too much to kowtow ten times!" The maid said: "Sister has a heart! Get up quickly!" Zilong laughed.

The maid couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh when she saw him like this.
