Section 200: Escape from the Tiger's Mouth

 On this day, Yuan Shuzhi was continuing his great work of auditing. In the past few days, he had not seen much of Taoist Mu Shi, and he had not seen Quan Youde anymore. Even the senior executives who had to show their faces every day were missing. Come here

The servants who delivered the meals also had unfamiliar faces. The two servants who originally guarded the courtyard gate, with whom Yuan Shuzhi had become very familiar, suddenly became strangers. Their faces were filled with fierce looks.

He knew that this was a very dangerous signal. The disappearance of the principals one after another meant that this place was considered unsafe. The fact that he was left in this unsafe place meant that he was not an important person. In this case, once the location was discovered, there was a risk of being exposed.

, a non-core figure like him who "knows too much" has only one fate: to be silenced.

Yuan Shuzhi was worried in his heart but did not dare to show it. He could only observe secretly every day to see if there was any chance of escape. Although he escaped from the farm and did not know the path in the mountains, it was better than waiting to die in fear here.

good.

After finishing the account book, Yuan Shuzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He wrapped the account book and put it in a basket and took it out. Every time he delivered the account book or took the account book, he always put it in the basket like this and handed it over at the entrance of the hospital.

Unexpectedly, when it was delivered to the entrance of the hospital, no new account books were delivered. Yuan Shuzhi was startled.

"No new ledgers have been delivered today?" he asked.

"If you don't have it, there won't be anything. How can we know?" the gatekeeper said in a venomous voice, with unconcealed contempt in his eyes.

Yuan Shuzhi secretly screamed that something was wrong, but faced with the careless gatekeeper and the ignorance of the outside situation, he could only retreat.

The only solution now is to escape as soon as possible! Yuan Shu knew that no more new ledgers were an extremely dangerous signal, indicating that his use value was about to be exhausted and his silence was imminent!

Just as he was thinking about how to escape, the senior executive who had not been seen for a long time appeared.

"Mr. Shu, how are you always?"

Seeing the gloomy and unsmiling face of the senior executive, Yuan Shuzhi felt the hair on his back stand up, and he tried to calm down and said, "Thanks to the senior executive, he is still in good health."

"I have been ordered by my master to move a place for you today," the senior executive said, "Please clean up, sir, and we'll be on our way as soon as possible."

When Yuan Shuzhi heard the word "go on the road", it was like five thunders hitting his head. He thought to himself: "My life is at stake!"

However, the senior management and several vicious servants were present, so what could he, a powerless scholar, do? He had to obey obediently. He returned to the house and packed up all his clothes and money. He secretly smiled bitterly and said: I don’t know what will happen to these things.

Which one is cheaper!

After packing up the things, there was a sedan waiting outside. Yuan Shuzhi got on the sedan and could only resign himself to his fate.

It was getting late outside at this time, and the sedan and a group of people were walking on the mountain road. They could only hear the strange screams of night owls outside the sedan, and the howling mountain wind. Yuan Shuzhi felt very confused at this time, and wanted to open the curtain of the sedan to take a look outside.

, only to find that the sedan curtain was almost fixed. Now I felt more and more desperate.

After walking in the dark for an unknown amount of time, the sedan finally stopped. I heard the senior management outside say: "You have worked hard these days. This is a reward from the Taoist Priest. Each person will receive twenty yuan, and everyone will go home after receiving it. Don't ask for it."

Let’s bring up the old things here again!”

I only heard a few people outside thanking me. I also heard the senior management say: "The wine, meat and dry food are all given to you by the Taoist priest. You can just take them with you to eat on the road. There is a ruined temple here. If anyone is worried about the difficulty of walking on the road late at night,

, you might as well rest here for one night and start again tomorrow. If you are in a hurry, you can leave now."

When the footsteps and voices outside gradually faded away, and there was no sound outside for a long time, Yuan Shuzhi was at a loss. Suddenly, the sedan curtain was opened, and the senior executive stood outside with a wooden face, saying coldly:

"We're at the place, come out."

Yuan Shuzhi got out of the sedan chair and saw that this was a small piece of flat land in the mountains. It was completely dark all around and he couldn't see anything clearly. Through the moonlight, he could vaguely see a half-ruined house, which was probably an old abandoned temple.

Above the mountains, a crescent moon hung high, clouds covered the moon, making it indescribably confusing and strange.

Yuan Shuzhi was surprised when the senior manager said: "Mr. Shu, we met once, and today our fate is over. The farm is not a place where you can stay for a long time. You have made a lot of money in the past few months, which should be enough for your expenses."

Now, just take the money and go on your own."

Yuan Shuzhi had a look of astonishment on his face. He originally thought that getting off the sedan chair would be a sword-and-axe encounter, and that his life would be at stake in this barren mountain. He didn't expect that the other party would actually say such a thing.

It seems unnecessary to say that he is deceiving himself. At this point, he is already a piece of cake on the knife, so why would a senior executive bother to play with himself again?

Yuan Shuzhi didn't know what to do at this moment, so he could only bow and said: "Thank you very much to the executive family. I have been taking care of you these days, so I will say goodbye to you."

After saying that, he carried the baggage on his back and was about to leave along the way he came. The senior manager said again: "Don't go this way, just go this way." After that, he pointed to a faintly distinguishable secluded path among the grass and trees.

Path, "Just follow this road, don't look back, and don't think about other paths, they are all dead ends!"

Yuan Shuzhi's heart almost rose to his throat, and he said tremblingly: "Student, student understands!"

Just as I was about to leave, I heard the senior manager behind me say solemnly: "The road is difficult, don't let yourself be burdened by things outside you!"

At this time, Yuan Shuzhi just wanted to run away quickly. He didn't care about anything external to him, so he quickly dropped the package and left alone.

Walking along the path covered by deep grass, you can't even see the terrain clearly, not to mention the path. Although you know that the future of this path is unpredictable, there might be a seductive kid waiting for you in front of you. But here.

At that time, I could only bite the bullet and fumble forward.

The mountain road is rugged and difficult to navigate. In some places, the path can only be walked by a single person, and it is very steep. In some places, the path is completely buried in the weeds and shrubs, and only the faint moonlight can be used to find the way. Yuan Shuzhi walked and climbed in a very embarrassed state.

Seeing that the crescent moon had passed its zenith, Yuan Shuzhi estimated that he had walked a long way, so he stopped and looked back, only to see a fire seven or eight miles away. He knew that it was probably the ruined temple he had just seen.

.My heart became more and more worried, and I didn’t dare to stop anymore. I rolled and crawled along the road.

Finally, when the sky was dimming, I saw that the mountain was gradually easing, and I knew that I was about to leave the mountain. Although the journey was thrilling, nothing unexpected happened, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

When he turned around the mountain pass, he saw a wild tea stall by the river beach not far away. He felt relieved that he was finally in a populated place!

He walked fast all night, because he was afraid but did not feel tired. Now when he reached a populated place, his whole body felt as if he had lost all strength, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

After panting on the ground for a long time, and after a night of hard work, I felt hungry and thirsty, and my whole body ached. I got up and walked to the tea shed to sit down.

It was still early, but there were already tea guests in the tea shed. Yuan Shuzhi didn't care about anything else and greeted the waiters.

Unexpectedly, the waiter did not come, but the old man sitting in front of him turned around. Yuan Shu was startled unconsciously: Isn't this the old man Gao who came to Huizhou by boat with him?

When Old Man Gao saw that it was him, his face was full of joy. He stood up and bowed and said, "Mr. Shu, how are you always?"

"Okay, okay," Yuan Shuzhi was still in shock. At this time, he saw Old Man Gao, whom he had met once before, in the wilderness. He was also very close to him and said involuntarily, "I finally saved my life!"

After saying this, he realized that he had made a mistake. However, Old Man Gao didn't take it seriously and whispered: "Mr. Shu is blessed with great fortune and is a man of good fortune. Although there is a tea shed here, it is not a place to stay for a long time. Mr. Shu walked along this

Go south from the river beach and walk more than ten miles to the seat of Boluo County."

Yuan Shuzhi was shocked and wondered where this old man came from.

Old Man Gao laughed loudly and said seriously: "Mr. Shu, although you and I only met each other once, after all we have been in the same boat."

The implication is self-evident. Although Yuan Shuzhi didn't know what was going on, he probably knew that he had a narrow escape this time. His escape was probably due to the help of this old man Gao.

Although I didn't know what was going on, I still wanted to thank you for this life-saving grace. He hurriedly said: "Master Gao! Although I don't know the reason, but..."

However, Old Man Gao waved his hands repeatedly and said in a low voice: "I understand what you mean! I understand it! No need to be polite. It's just that you don't want to stay in Huizhou any longer. You have to stay longer when you get to Boromo and return to Guangzhou as soon as possible.

Go." After saying this, he gave another baggage, "This is the dry food I prepared for you, you can take it and eat it on the road."

Yuan Shuzhi felt indescribably grateful and hurriedly collected the things. As soon as he took them, he realized that there was a heavy baggage, and there seemed to be some silver. He didn't speculate and said, "I can't say thank you for your kindness! Master Gao's kindness will never be forgotten!"

After saying that, he drank a pot of tea and hurried to Boluo.

At this time, his mind was full of questions. All the things he had experienced from last night to this morning were like a strange dream. The senior executives took them to the ruined temple, obviously to kill people and silence them. The fire in the ruined temple later seemed to prove it.

This point. If they are planning a rebellion, they will definitely not let the relevant people survive.

But why did this senior executive let him go? This was a very risky thing. He might also be silenced, but he actually came to the rescue. Could it be that he did it intentionally and was following orders? What did the Taoist want to do?

?

The strangest thing is that this is Old Man Gao. Although he has a relationship with him once, it doesn't stop there. He can't even be called a friendship, let alone a debt of gratitude. And it seems that he has a share in this rescue.

Thinking again that the senior executives and old man Gao both had the surname Gao... Yuan Shuzhi suddenly thought of this and was stunned.

Old Man Gao came to Huizhou from Guangzhou with him, and he also said that he was from Huizhou. In this way, they were probably a family!

Although he couldn't understand the other party's motives, now that he was out of trouble, it was better to rush back to Boluo County as soon as possible and report the relevant situation to Lu Cheng. This group of people was not only stealing medicines, but also planning to rebel.

If you can crack it in time, you will be a great success!
