Chapter 31: Escape Smoothly The Tea Shop Steals Horses
"Whew!"
Yin Zhiping let out a long breath of turbid air in his mouth, his face was happy, and suddenly a "carp stiffened", bounced directly off the bed, and landed on the board below.
He finally unlocked his acupuncture point, and it took less than half an hour than he had expected. According to his calculations, there should have been about forty-five minutes of his previous life. He was even happier when he unlocked the acupoint in advance, which meant that he had more time to escape.
After getting out of bed, he didn't dare to delay much at the moment, and went directly to take the silver dragon sword leaning on the table. Then he drew his sword with a "choking", walked to the window of the cabin, and went down with a few swords to cut off all the window lattices, revealing a hole that could be drilled through people.
In order to delay the time when Li Mochou found out that he had escaped, he did not go out and walked out of the boat directly, but wanted to sneak away secretly. After cutting out the window, he put the silver dragon sword in its sheath, then inserted it into his belt, and looked out the window, and saw that no one had noticed. He threw away the package and crawled out of the window. After crawling out of the wall, I climbed the window and stretched out, and my feet touched the river below.
After slowly letting go, his entire body fell silently into the water. After turning his head to discern the direction and observe the scenery on both sides, he took a deep breath and plunged down, diving towards the opposite shore like a nimble swimming fish.
After about a quarter of an hour, he showed his head in the river on the opposite bank. Turning his head to look left and right, there was no one around, and he climbed ashore with confidence. After going ashore, I looked at the boat on the other side, and the people on board were still busy with their own business. No one had noticed that he had fled, not even the windows of the cabin.
This is also due to Li Mochou's advice in the past two days. Let the boatman and the others not be allowed to enter the cabin of the two of them without his permission. Even if Li Mochou was no longer on the ship at this time. They didn't have anything to do and wouldn't go down at will to see if Yin Zhiping was still in the cabin.
In the final analysis, they are just taking money to do things, because Li Mochou has said something first, and the rest of them don't ask much. I don't know what the real relationship between Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou is, and Li Mochou didn't have to tell them to watch Yin Zhiping during her absence.
Yin Zhiping knew that Li Mochou was a landlubber and couldn't swim, so he deliberately fled to the other side first. Even if Li Mochou rushed back immediately now and found that he had escaped, he would chase after him and be stopped by this wide canal. It's impossible to catch up right away. The river surface of this section of the canal is very wide, even if a person in the martial arts is very good, it is impossible for him to jump over, and Li Mochou is naturally even more impossible. And she couldn't swim, so if she wanted to come over, she had to let the boat carry her, or find something as a carrier, and rush over with the light skill of climbing the water, but it would undoubtedly be a waste of time.
There are two large willow trees where Yin Zhiping landed, and there are no people on the left and right. He glanced across the bank, then didn't stop. Immediately rush to the direction of Lin'an City. As he walked, he wrung the clothes on his body and squeezed the water, and now the little skill he recovered, although it was barely possible to dry the wet clothes and wet hair on his body with internal force, it would take a lot of money. This is in the case that Li Mochou may catch up at any time. But do not waste it on such small things.
It was the height of summer, and it was afternoon, and the sun was scorching. It's a big deal to get soaked, and it's going to dry out in the sun. After squeezing the water on my clothes a little. He should start his light work and rush to Lin'an City.
In order to save effort. The light skill he is exerting at the moment is also the Ling Bo microstep that is not afraid of consuming internal force. If Li Mochou catches up, he can deal with it a few times.
After walking about a mile, he suddenly saw from a distance a simple tea shop with a shed and several sets of tables and stools under a big locust tree next to the official road. And on a pillar next to the tea shop, a horse was tethered, which made his eyes light up. If there were horses to travel, it would be more labor-saving, and it would be much faster than the light work he could perform with his current skill.
It's just that he touched his body, but he didn't bring a penny. When he left Yangzhou that night, Li Mochou stuffed his money bag into his package. Later, when he got on the ship, he had nowhere to use the money, and he never took it out of the package. I was in a hurry to flee just now, and I didn't even bring a package, but now I don't have a penny.
He had planned to buy the horse from its original owner with more money, but now he had no money, so he had to force it back. He was originally a careless person, and now he is on the run for his life, but he can't care about that much.
At that moment, while rushing to the tea shop, I looked at the few people sitting and drinking tea in the tea shop. This tea shop was opened by an old couple who were over half a hundred years old, and in addition to this couple, there are now five people in the tea shop, occupying a total of three tables. Two people are at their own table, and the other three are seated at the same table.
The three people sitting at the table looked to be middle-aged men in their thirties and forties, all dressed in a very rustic manner, and their clothes were patched.
One of the people at each table was a big man in a cyan suit, tall and strong, looking very conspicuous, and his clothes were also good. But at this time, it was too hot, and the placket on his chest was torn open and exposed, and the exposed chest was very strong, and there was thick chest hair, and there was a slanted hideous scar on the right chest, which made this man look very vicious. He also carried a knife at his waist, and he looked like a walking figure, and the horse seemed to be the same person.
In addition, the person at the table was facing away from Yin Zhiping's direction, and he could only see from his back that the figure was thin, wearing a wide gray shirt, and the movement of raising a bowl and drinking tea was quite gentle, and he looked like a scholar or some kind of teacher.
Yin Zhiping was too attention-grabbing, and after approaching, he didn't perform any more light skills, but just walked over quickly.
He was only wearing an ordinary shirt at this time, and Li Mochou was afraid that he would be easily recognized, so he didn't change his robe when he left the inn in Yangzhou that night. And also changed his hairstyle, his hair was originally pulled up high, combed a very neat bun on the top of his head, and wore a crown, but now he was casually tied into a ponytail by Li Mochou with a hairband, and a few strands of hair were hung down on his forehead to cover one eye and half of his face, so that people couldn't see his appearance at first sight.
The way he is dressed now, with a long sword at his waist, looks like an ordinary character in the rivers and lakes, which is not very surprising. At this time, his hair and clothes had already dried under the sun and wind that had come all the way, but they were a little wrinkled, and he still looked very unsatisfactory.
After he hurried over, the big man in green clothes looked up at him, then didn't look any more, and continued to drink tea. The three villager-looking people only looked at him curiously and didn't look at it much, but the gray-shirted man who looked like a teacher didn't look back at all, as if he was facing away from him, and didn't notice his arrival.
When Yin Zhiping approached within ten steps of the tea shop, the old man of the old couple stood up from the bench where he was sitting, and asked to come over with a smile on his face to beckon him to sit down and drink tea. Yin Zhiping also smiled at him, but suddenly he came to the pillar where the horse was tethered, and at the same time his body was not stable, he had already pulled out the silver dragon sword on his waist with a "choking" sound, and directly unsheathed the sword and accurately cut the reins of the tethered horse.
Then he slapped his palm on the horse's rump, and the horse neighed in fright and sprang forward. A little under his feet, a leap of the body had caught up and landed firmly in the saddle. With his left hand, he grabbed half of the horse's reins, and with his right hand, he slapped the horse's buttocks with the sword side, and shouted "drive", and the horse's four hooves flew and carried him away.
He dodged, drew his sword, broke the reins, got on his horse, and made a few movements to get up and down, all in one go, so that everyone didn't react at all. The owner of the tea shop was still waiting to greet him, but before he opened his mouth, this scene had happened quickly in front of him, making him open his mouth wide and look at Yin Zhiping's figure beating his horse away, and he didn't react for a long time.
The man in green clothes was drinking tea with his head down, and when he heard that he drew his sword out of its sheath and raised his head to look, Yin Zhiping had already flown on his horse and hit the horse away. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before he reacted, stood up suddenly, knocked over the table, threw the tea bowl in his hand and scolded: "What a thief who steals horses, he dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head and look for death!"
