Chapter 24 Chapter Twenty-Four

Inside and outside the fort gate, many people came side by side to welcome them. The maid came out alone, and after saluting, said in a low voice: Miss, I have news from the maid. Miss Yan stood tall, she was no longer a big girl with lingering affection, she returned to her identity as a mafia girl who was the only one respected by me, and asked calmly: What news?explain. The maid glanced at Xin Wu who was on the side, and stopped talking. Speak!Master Xin is one of his own.Miss Yan said without blushing. The maid didn't seem surprised, and whispered: Those people are planning to join forces, and their mood is very unstable.It seems that it is extremely unfavorable to us.

What's the disadvantage? Cao Erye thinks that if they form an alliance, they will probably deal with us first.said the maid anxiously. Miss Yan smiled and said coldly: "People have the same heart and the same reason; I also have this idea, and I am planning to deal with them first!" Lord Yong has ordered people to impose strict martial law, and Bahao Hedong has been ordered to protect the law for the young lady, and proper arrangements have been made. Who wants them to protect the law?Miss Yan asked displeasedly. It is the meaning of Cao Erye.Cao Erye thought that they might use all means to send someone to attack the lady with hidden weapons or other methods.

Open spears are easy to hide, but hidden arrows are the most difficult to guard against. There are so many people in the inn that it is impossible to guard against them. He had to order Hedong Bahao to show up in advance to demonstrate. Miss Yan pondered for a moment, then waved her hand and said: All right!You go tell Cao Erye and wait for orders. Yes, the maid will go Also, ask Yan Yong to quickly find out the people who have come forward to join forces and form alliances, and are ready to be dispatched to eliminate them at any time.Miss Yan said with a murderous face. Xin Wu's expression changed, and he asked: Oh!Miss Yan, did you forget what I said?

Miss Yan smiled lightly and said: Wulang, what are you talking about? One more person means more strength, and we will deal with these people afterwards. I haven't planned to clear up these rubbish yet!Walk. You go first.Xin Wu said. Miss Yan didn't seem to want to insist, she took the maid and walked towards the gate of the castle with a smile. When passing through the gate of the fort, he whispered to the maid: tell Yan Yong, tonight we are going to get rid of the person who is the first to make trouble.Ask Second Master Cao to come see me.I want to confirm a worrying thing. People defend against tigers, and tigers also defend against people.

The Anxi Inn is brightly lit, the dining hall is noisy, and during dinner time, people who dine outside the room take the opportunity to move around. The people from Meilin Xiaozhu arrived two days ago and reserved two upper rooms.Miss Yan's maidservant arrived yesterday, and the minions of the Yan family have already been set up in the inn. The previous large guest room also belonged to the Yan family, headed by Yan Yong.There are women among the passengers, how can we live in the big guest room? Therefore, except for Miss Yan's maidservant who occupied the upper house, the other female guests were settled in the shopkeeper's residence in the inner courtyard, and the shopkeeper's family was forced to move to the neighbors to settle down.

The female guests dove into the magpie's nest, occupying this single courtyard with three or four rooms. For the first time ever, the Anxi Inn was full of customers, even the firewood and thatched cottages were full of people. Passengers who arrived later lodged overnight with other villagers in the fort.Regardless of whether he is willing or not, he will live anyway. How many unidentified tourists are there in Fort Anxi?No one can figure out the exact number.As for the number of people who are not afraid of tigers and wolves sleeping outside the fort, it is impossible to estimate. A storm is brewing, even the most ignorant person can smell the crisis and detect the danger.

After the meal, Xin Wu felt a little dazed, and was very frustrated with the situation with Yanxia today. Unexpectedly, Yanxia, ​​who was beautiful and gentle on the outside, was also an out-and-out mafia heroine in her heart. Today, he is full of emotion. At last he found out early, but luckily he didn't fall into the abyss of love. Even if the leopard's fur is shaved and the leopard print is no longer visible, it is still a leopard.Appearance can be changed, but nature cannot be changed. He avoided the entanglement of the prodigal son Feihuan, and also declined Miss Yan's invitation to talk at night, and walked around the back of the castle alone, secretly paying attention to suspicious characters. He has not yet figured out the details of the three mountains and five mountains in the castle. Woolen cloth!

Furthermore, he thought that the mysterious woman who followed him and Miss Yan might be the two girls in green who entered the castle at the same time as him and had followed him for two days? The girl in green advised him to let go, why?Since they also came here to count on the beautiful bearded man, why should they persuade him to let go? He is already a person in the limelight, his activities are restricted, and he is more likely to be watched, so he has to use the darkness of the night to carefully observe the movements everywhere, and try to avoid other people. Although there are only five or six families in the fort, the so-called one family does not refer to a house, but to a family of people.

The family's home may be a thatched hut, or it may be a courtyard house or a large house with three courtyards and five courtyards. Therefore, the size of the village must not be judged by the number of households. This castle is not big, there are only six families, but there are more than 20 houses. The houses of each family are assembled by themselves, and the doors are not connected, naturally forming six houses. Therefore, the arrangement is uneven, there are vegetable gardens in the middle, squares and wells in the front and back, fruit trees are scattered, and the lanes are interlaced, but there are no streets, so it is impossible to become a market.

After passing a row of low fences, I suddenly heard a strange creaking sound from the wood door of a small thatched hut on the side. When the door opened, a light and beautiful figure of a young girl appeared. With a sound of water, the basin of water in the girl's hand was poured under the hedge, and the water splashed through the hedge to his trousers. oops!I'm so sorry, who is it outside?The girl's sweet and tender voice came, so pleasant. Although it is a short fence, it is actually shoulder-high.Where he stood, there happened to be a clump of young trees blocking his figure.The night was as black as ink, and the wind was bleak.He moved as lightly as a cat, his feet made no sound, and he stopped in time when he heard the door opening, and he just used the small bushes to block him.

It stands to reason that people who open the door and go out from the house, entering the darkness from the bright light, can never see him. But he didn't have time to think about the difference, he said with a casual smile: It's nothing, don't be sorry. oh!Did it get wet?Please come in and dry off. The courtyard door is on the left.the girl said apologetically. It was so dark that he couldn't see the girl's face clearly, he could only intuitively feel that this girl was young, her voice was very pleasant, and she was generous and not afraid of strangers. No need, just a few drops of water.He answered with a smile. I'm really sorry, Grandpa, I was too busy to pour the water too quickly.well!My mother is seriously ill these few days, but there are a lot of dubious people in the castle, all of them are fierce and fierce, and no one is allowed to leave the castle, so they can't be sent to the town fort to be treated by a doctor, alas!I really don't know what to do. Ashamed, it's us who are bad. oh!Yetai is also those people?the girl asked in surprise. Isn't this nonsense?The people in the castle all know each other, if they are acquaintances, how can they not know the reason? Besides, how can someone you know call you Yetai? In short, the girl was full of speech problems, but he didn't pay attention, and said: Girl, is there a man in charge of your family? The girl sighed quietly, and said sadly: No!My father has already gone to Liangzhou to do business, and he won't be able to return home until the end of the year. There are only concubines, mother and daughter in the family. I have a little understanding of medical theory, can I have a look at the next Lingtang?He said in a self-recommended manner. oops!How can I trouble you, concubine He found the courtyard door, opened it and entered.This is a small thatched hut adjacent to the big house on the right. The hall is not wide enough, and there are two small rooms connected behind it. Under the light, the girl shyly welcomes the guests.The hall is smoked with wormwood.The wormwood grassland is used to repel mosquitoes. When autumn goes to the beginning of winter, mosquitoes and flies have disappeared here, so why use wormwood to smoke mosquitoes? White smoke curled up from the whole house, irritating the nasopharynx quite uncomfortable, even a little choking. Seeing the girl's face clearly, he applauded secretly, and said in his heart: What an elegant and beautiful girl! A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, even though she is wearing a Jingchai sarong, can't hide her youthful breath, and her natural beauty looks fresh.There were only mother and daughter at home, and it was night, he didn't want to talk much, let alone stay for too long, he was a young man, it was important to avoid suspicion, so it was not good for him to ask about the girl's family situation. The equipment in the room is very simple, just a bed, a cabinet and a table. A middle-aged man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes was lying on the bed under a quilt, with a cold water towel covering his forehead, and his complexion was very bad. The girl put the lamp on the table and said: This is my mother, she has been ill for a long time. The middle-aged woman raised her head slightly, and said feebly: Girl, this master is Xin Wu stood in front of the bed and said softly: Hello, sister-in-law.I'm a passing passenger, and I'm staying at the shop in Guibao. I heard Lingmei said that you need a doctor to treat your illness, and it's inconvenient to leave now. I have a little knowledge of medicine, so I don't take the liberty to volunteer to take a look for my sister-in-law, oh!Ask sister-in-law to stretch out her right hand. Putting two fingers on the middle-aged woman's veins, doubts arose in his heart. This hand is definitely not a hand that does housework.Although the hand was hot, the pulsation was normal. Grandpa knows how to feel the pulse?asked the middle-aged woman. He shook his head and said with a faint smile: "I only know superficiality, but I have quite a lot of experience with Jin Chuang." As he said that, he tested the other party's forehead with the back of his palm, and it was scalding hot. Grandpa, the old man feels weak in limbs If what I expected is not bad, my sister-in-law accidentally caught some wind and cold, and she will be fine after taking some dispersants. Do you have a medicine store here? No, you have to go to Zhenqiangbao, forty miles away, to pick up the medicine.The girl answered. oh!How about this!I brought some pills for treating wind and evil, they are very effective, I will take them tonight, and I will come back to see them tomorrow morning.As he spoke, he picked out some pills for treating wind and evil from the treasure bag and handed them to the little girl, and said: Take two pills with warm water.If you sweat after half an hour.Take another pill, if you don't sweat, take the last two pills in half an hour. Thank you, Grandpa Tai, I am very grateful.The mother and daughter thanked each other. He walked out, and suddenly turned around and said: "Little girl, close the windows to prevent the wind from coming in. No matter what happens outside tonight, don't open the doors and windows. I will go through the back door and hit the bar, remember." The little girl followed behind him, surprised and said: Oh!Master said that my mother is going to have an accident tonight? He laughed and said: Why are you thinking wildly?I'm just afraid that if you accidentally open the door and window, the wind will come in and it will be bad for your mother. oh!It turned out that this is the case, I am a little frightened! Don't be afraid, your mother will be fine, you don't have to send me out, see you tomorrow.He closed the door behind him and left in a hurry. Going around to the west of the fort, there are no houses here. The wall of the earthen village is about ten feet high and the same width. There are crenels built at the front and back, and every three feet or so, there is a step up the wall. He walked up to the top of the wall, and just stepped on the last step, he suddenly threw his head and called: Who?Dare to follow? The figure below suddenly appeared, and Jiuyouniang's voice came: It's me, it's a pity that there are stars and no moon tonight, otherwise it would be quite poetic to step on the moon in the deserted castle, which is really a fly in the ointment.You and I are friends rather than enemies, why dare not keep up? It is indeed Jiuyou Niang, walking up while talking. When he reached the crenel, he leaned on the brick pile and turned his head and asked: Why follow?You have been following me for a long time. oh!Brother Xin, don't reject people thousands of miles away, I just want to talk to you.I'm afraid of disturbing people along the way, so it's not easy to say hello. Jiuyou Niang approached him and said with a smile, the bright smile on her face could be vaguely seen under the starlight. He raised his eyes to the wilderness outside, and said without emotion: Talk about cooperation, is it?Let me tell you, I don't like to work with people. oh!Is cooperation with Meilin Xiaozhu an exception? She was already close to his side, and bursts of fragrance penetrated into Xin Wu's nose. Without exception, those who can't climb up to Meilin Xiaozhu!Xin Wu said coldly. She was already leaning on the pile of bricks next to Xin Wu, and said with a grinning smile: Yo!Am I dazzled?Miss Yan tried her best to curry favor with you, going in and out side by side hand in hand, I don't believe that Miss Yan will fail.Brother Xin, don't you like it? You have a thick skin.he laughed. whee!What am I afraid of?It's just you and me, there's nothing to be ashamed of, as long as you're willing to listen, I dare to speak.oh!Brother Xin, regarding cooperation, we Wouldn't it be great if we didn't mention the matter of cooperation, and we would go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other?oh!Yesterday, you stood up to defend me against injustice, and I haven't thanked you yet. He suddenly felt dizzy and merciless, his eyes turned black. The fragrance is tangy, and the pretty figure is cuddling up to him. His instinct to survive made him turn around without hesitation and hit him with a palm. Hey screams came to my ears, Jiuyou Niang fell more than ten feet, almost fell off the fort wall. He felt dizzy, there was a sound on his forehead, suddenly there was no sound, the world was dead silent, his body flickered, he fell to the outside of the fort wall, fell into the dry ditch more than a meter deep at the root of the wall, and suddenly fainted.
