Another guard turned his head and glanced casually, then turned back and continued busy collecting city fees, and replied casually: "No, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, maybe my eyesight was dazzled and I saw it wrong." The black-faced guard shook his head, and then whispered: "Strange, I just saw the shadow of a dog~"
"Yes, sir, that is indeed a dog. The common people saw it just now. It was so fast, and there was a bastard lying on the dog's head."
A tall, lanky man in his thirties spoke in agreement, and then lowered his voice: "The villagers caught them in the river before, and finally sent them to the king's wife's house in the town, and they got ten taels of silver.
!”
Speaking of silver, he couldn't help but say a few more words, his eyes full of envy, but not greed.
There was a sound of gasping all around, obviously people couldn't believe that this "bastard" was so valuable.
There were four people in front of him who were queuing up to enter the city. After hearing his words, they all turned around to watch the excitement. The pedestrians who were queuing closer behind him could hear clearly, and several of them looked thoughtful.
They also saw the dog and the tortoise.
Do today's rich people like to raise "bastards"?
"What are you doing in the city?"
The black-faced guard was very happy that his words were approved, and then he started chatting casually.
"Back to the official, Jia Ci suddenly fell seriously ill. I went to the city to see a doctor."
"It's good to be so filial, but don't delay your illness. Come in quickly!"
"Go back to the official, this money..."
"No, keep it and use it to treat your mother's illness!"
The black-faced guard waved his hand and let him go without taking any money.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" The tall and thin man quickly bent down to express his thanks, then hurriedly entered the city gate.
"Hey, sir, how could he jump in line?"
"Yes, he didn't even pay the entry fee?"
"Yes~"
"My lord, please don't treat me favorably."
…
When the people who were waiting in line saw this, they complained for a while and expressed their dissatisfaction.
"My lord, I am very happy today. Anyone who is allowed to enter can enter. Just line up and enter the city honestly. Those who don't want to enter, you bastard~"
The black-faced guard looked solemn and shouted sharply at the person in front of him who was shouting the loudest: "Why are you going to the city? Where is your household registration? Where is the road guide?"
"Going back to the official, the food tank at my home has reached the bottom. I went to the city this time to buy food. No one came in just now..."
"Just take it if I tell you. If you don't have it, don't go into the city and get lost!" the black-faced guard said with a very impatient expression.
"Master~"
The man was anxious.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll send you to prison to eat public food, get out~"
The black-faced guard also had a bad temper, and if his voice was slightly louder, he would stop the man. The man hurriedly ran away, fearing that he would be taken to prison to eat "public meals".
"He's a short-sighted guy. How can you be as knowledgeable as him?"
The other guard turned to look at him and spoke in confusion.
"I can't stand it when a grown man wants to be like a bitch who talks too much."
The black-faced guard told the truth, and kept collecting the city entry fee in his hand, and threw it into a basket aside.
The other guard shook his head and shrugged.
Forget it, it's none of your business anyway.
???
Ever since the Bai family suffered a tragedy, Bai Sanlang has not had any bad luck for a month.
He was also aware of this and couldn't understand it. It was obvious that when he went out, he would fall all over his body and even break bones. He only dared to go home after his body healed automatically.
And when he goes up the mountain, he either encounters wild boars or wild wolves, and he has encountered scenes of both fighting for him.
But now, he was walking struttingly on the street, and nothing happened. He thought that whenever he went out on the street, he would cause the villagers to jump in panic, and the villagers would basically avoid him.
But now, looking at the crowds and the horse-drawn carriages passing by him smoothly, Bai Sanlang just felt incredible.
The reason why he went to the city was partly to confirm his suspicions, and partly because he planned to go to the drugstore to sell the medicinal materials he had concocted in recent days to pay for his trip to Zhaozhou.
He wanted to go to the capital and ask the man himself why the Bai family was sorry for him and why they wanted to destroy the Bai family.
He would make him feel the heartbreaking pain, he swore.
Dahuang carried Chuan Yun and followed Bai Sanlang honestly, not daring to act like a monster.
Seeing the grand scene of the ancient market for the first time, Chuan Yun's two little eyes were wide open, and his little head was looking left and right, overwhelmed by what he could see.
Little Chaos, meat buns, candied haws...
They all look delicious.
Dahuang always wakes up from hunger every night. When he can't sleep, he will lie down in front of her, stare at her with a pair of wet eyes, and keep shouting "Doudou, you are hungry~".
She was annoyed by the noise, so she took out the buns in the small space and blocked its mouth. Now the small space was empty.
Bai Sanlang looked for a few passers-by and asked about the location of the medical center. He went there according to the instructions, but never arrived at the destination. The more times he went there, the more he became suspicious, and soon found that he seemed to be being led to a place deliberately.
Lead away.
is it him?
Bai Sanlang suppressed the turbulent undercurrent in his eyes, looked gloomy, and clenched his little hands tightly.
A quarter of an hour later, Bai Sanlang was surrounded by several people in a dark alley. Among the people surrounding him, there was one person scattered here, one squatting there, and some even had melon seeds in their mouths, looking at them all with lazy faces.
There is no formal look.
Dahuang noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere. He stared at everyone with his two dark eyes and let out a low growl from his throat. It seemed that if they dared to make any move, it would pounce on them.
Those who know Rhubarb know that it is stupid, but in front of the streetwalkers who saw it for the first time, its strong body made them a little afraid.
Chuanyun guessed that these people were probably street gangsters nearby and had no money, so he tried to "borrow" some money to spend.
But find an eight-year-old...unless they want to...
Anger arose in Chuan's heart, followed by anger. These people were probably pawns of human traffickers who wanted to abduct children.
Several people looked at Shirasaburo openly and secretly for a while, and then they came close to each other and bit their ears. Kawayun vaguely heard key words such as "good color", "good appearance", "haired" and so on.
It seems that they really encountered human traffickers.
"Little brother, where are your adults?"
One of the young men, who looked to be in his mid-twenties, spoke up and looked at Bai Sanlang with his eyes.
"They went to a place far away."
Bai Sanlang raised his head and spoke with a simple face. What he said was half true and half false.
He pinched the strap on his shoulders with both hands, tightening it, loosening it and tightening it again. He looked very nervous when meeting a stranger, but there was no trace of fear in his eyes, instead there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Ridicule and keep secrets.
"Oh, is it so?"
The man said in a strange tone, and he looked at each other with a few others, nodded faintly, with a hint of joy on his face.
It seems to be saying: If you are not experienced in the world, you can be deceived, especially if your parents are away on business and are not around, you can be kidnapped.
Bai Sanlang looked like a foreigner in his attire, but at a young age he had a bookish elegance to him. Therefore, as soon as he appeared in the city, they took an eye on him. Knowing that he was looking for a medical clinic, they deliberately found someone to lure him over.
If they could get this kind of stuff and send it over, they would definitely make a lot of money. But the dog that protects the owner is a bit difficult to deal with. Hey... there is actually a turtle. This thing is quite valuable. It is worth a fortune.
"You are hungry, let's go, brother will take you to eat noodles, they are delicious."
