Zhong Qingye's exclamation obviously startled Xi Zang, and he immediately turned back to glance at Zhong Qingye, only to see her frowning slightly, staring intently at the crowd below the inn.【】
At this moment, the gangster man downstairs of the inn had made some noise. The people who were still gathered together dispersed into a semi-encirclement. The torches in their hands burned fiercely, illuminating the semicircle with a bright light. Zhong Qingye saw a black hole.
A man in clothes walked out of the house. The man was estimated to be between thirty-five and forty years old. Due to the position and angle, his face was not clear.
By the light of the fire, Zhong Qingye could clearly see that the man in black was holding a woman in his hand. She seemed to have fainted. She was carried on the man's shoulders, with her head and arms hanging down limply.
The man in black turned around and said something to the men around him. Zhong Qingye didn't pay attention, but the man moved. Due to the change in angle, Zhong Qingye was right in front of the face of the woman he was carrying on his shoulders.
It was a round baby face. Even under the warm firelight, the face was still a little pale, with blood-colored lips and closed eyes. The temples tied on her head were also a little scattered. A few strands of hair hung down, but they did not block her.
His appearance was such that with Zhong Qingye’s eyesight, he could recognize it at a glance.
She is the little girl from the Zhong family, Yanzi, who Zhong Qingye thought was buried in the fire at first!
Originally thought she was dead, Feng Jin said that she was not at Zhong's house when the fire broke out, which made Zhong Qingye feel at ease. However, over the past few days, Zhong Qingye has begun to wonder if Feng Jin was afraid that she would not be able to accept it, so he made it up.
There is a lie that Yanzi is not dead. After all, Feng Jin has refused to tell her Yanzi’s current location.
So why does Yanzi appear in Tianshan Town now?
Is this the news that Feng Jin said?
Zhong Qingye's mind was filled with doubts for a while. Yanzi looked like she had been knocked unconscious, but how could she, an honest little girl, get involved with those bandits on Tianshan Mountain?
Seeing the reaction of the men below, Zhong Qingye couldn't help but feel suspicious. They didn't come out to catch Yan Zi on purpose, right?
But why?
"Hurry up!" Xi Zang suddenly reached out and pulled the hem of her clothes, reminding her in a low voice.
Zhong Qingye came back to his senses and hurriedly lowered his head. He saw that the man in black had already sat on a two-person sedan chair. Yanzi, who was originally carried on his shoulders, was also put down and was held in the man's arms.
Inside. The men holding torches took out bundles of prepared dry firewood from the alley on one side and threw them under the farmhouse, as if they had already prepared them.
Zhong Qingye frowned, didn't these guys want to set other people's houses on fire?
Unfortunately, she guessed correctly again. After placing the bundles of dry firewood, the men skillfully took out some vegetable oil or something and poured it on the dry firewood. Several men used torches to dry it.
Throwing the firewood on the firewood, a fire broke out in an instant.
Zhong Qingye twitched the corner of his mouth, put down the curtain, turned around and walked to the bed. He took out a black scarf from the package and tied it on his face. He said without looking back: "Hurry up and change clothes, we are going to catch up."
Xi Zang had already prepared a set of black clothes in his package, which was the kind of night clothes often worn by assassins in modern TV dramas. Hearing this, he took it out, put it on his body in twos and twos, and followed Zhong Qingye's example to wrap up the package.
He was fixed behind his back and suddenly said: "You want to break into their lair?"
Zhong Qingye was tying his boots. Hearing this, he smiled slightly: "No, I just want to save people."
"That woman?" Although Xi Zang said this as a question, his tone was still affirmative.
Zhong Qingye nodded, as if he knew what he wanted to say, and added: "She is a very important person to me."
Xi Zang frowned, said nothing more, and got ready quickly.
Zhong Qingye stretched out his hand to open the door. There happened to be a big tree outside the room, about two meters away from the edge. Zhong Qingye raised his eyebrows, quickly took it out from his mouth, jumped up, and landed lightly.
On the branches of the big tree, he stretched out his hand toward Xi Zang.
Xi Zang imitated her movements and jumped onto the big tree trunk neatly. Both of them were wearing black outfits, which were not very obvious in the hazy night. In addition, Tianshan Town has always had a custom of not opening the door at night.
It also provided convenience for the two of them. There was no need to worry about being discovered. The two of them, like dexterous bobcats, quietly got off the tree and ran quickly in the direction where the group of men left.
Needless to say, Zhong Qingye's speed goes without saying, and although Xi Zang is not as good as her, his body's flexibility has been greatly enhanced after Zhong Qingye's weight-bearing training. Sneaking all the way with Zhong Qingye, although it is a bit strenuous, is still possible.
It won't fall too far.
Looking at the child's flexible figure in the darkness, Zhong Qingye smiled slightly.
After walking for a while, the light of the torch appeared in front of him. Without Zhong Qingye's reminder, Xi Zang quickly lowered his body and used the shadow from the angle to cover his body. Zhong Qingye was about to say that he could follow slowly.
Suddenly, the child suddenly said: "Have you paid at the inn?"
Zhong Qingye was stunned for a moment, then said with a bad smile: "We've only stayed here for a few hours, so don't waste it."
Scrooge! Iron cock! The child's glance towards her clearly expressed this meaning.
The group of men holding torches did not move very quickly, as if they knew no one would come out at night. They walked struttingly on the road, surrounded the men on the sedan, and walked slowly towards the Tianshan Mountains, teasing each other from time to time.
He told some crude jokes and let out ghostly laughter that disturbed his dreams.
Zhong Qingye and Xi Yan followed slowly and unhurriedly, keeping a distance of about two hundred meters, so that they would neither get lost nor be afraid of being discovered. Anyway, the Tianshan Town was completely quiet at the moment, except for the dim light of the moon.
It's a man's torch. You can spot it from a long distance, so you don't have to worry about losing your target.
Along the way, Zhong Qingye also discovered a strange thing besides enjoying himself. Yanzi didn't seem to be a slave slave in the hands of the bandits. At least Zhong Qingye had never seen a slave slave sitting in a sedan chair while himself.
The walking kidnapper.
After leaving Tianshan Town, the group of people headed up the mountain. The mountain road became increasingly rugged. The man in black hugged Yanzi tightly and sat motionless on the sedan chair. Yanzi was surrounded by him in his arms. Not only did he not want to be alone when he got up,
Prisoners, on the contrary, have a sense of protection.
Zhong Qingye touched his nose, t, what on earth is going on?
