Money is hard to buy, time is easy

Chapter 86

Duan Jian was right in predicting that the next day the steward brought news of martial law throughout Luocheng. It was said that bandits from Luolao Mountain had sneaked into the city, and the government ordered house-to-house searches, causing complaints from the common people.Not only the entrance and exit of the city gate must be inspected, but the mountain road leading to Luolao Mountain has also set up checkpoints to prohibit passing.

If they hadn't left the city one step earlier, I'm afraid they would be trapped in the city, and sooner or later they would be caught. Even Wei Yuanzi couldn't help being extremely thankful that Duan Jian wasn't as pleasing to the eye as before.

However, Duan Jian suggested, "It's too passive for us to wait for the news here. While the search in the city has just started, it's better to go into the city to find out the current situation so that we can make a decision on the next step."

His proposal was too dangerous, and Ah Hong was the first to object, "No! It's too dangerous! This matter has nothing to do with you!"

Ah Hong always felt that Duan Jian should not be involved in their family's affairs, but he already regretted it now.

And Wei Yuanzi was very much in favor of Duan Jian's proposal, but he couldn't say it out. Ah Hong's eyes were dangerous enough, so he coughed dryly, turned his gaze away, and left Duan Jian to persuade Ah Hong.

"Ah Hong, listen to me." Duan Jian held Ah Hong's hands and tried to look relaxed, "Because I have nothing to do with Xiao Yuan, I am the most suitable person to inquire about news. Those people won't find me for the time being. Don't worry, I will act carefully and come back quickly if something goes wrong. "

"But……"

"Don't worry, I will never be brave. I just went to find out the situation in the lower city. I promise to come back before dark, or do you not trust me?"

Duan Jian was very persistent, but Ah Hong couldn't convince him at all, so he became angry with Duan Jian for the first time, and turned his back to him all night, refusing to turn around to look at him.Duan Jian was helpless, but he had to do it, otherwise he couldn't rest assured.

He knew, and believed that Ah Hong and Wei Yuanzi also knew very well that only when Xiao Yuan's matter was completely over, could they end this life of constant anxiety.

Early the next morning, when there were still stars in the sky, Duan Jian changed into the clothes brought by the farm steward, dressed as a tenant farmer who was going to the city to deliver food, and followed the car into the city.

Sure enough, checkpoints were set up at the gate of the city, and everyone who entered or exited was subject to inspection, and Duan Jian and his party were no exception.

The soldiers who searched were very strict, and even asked them to stretch out their hands. Duan Jian was secretly startled. Fortunately, before departure, Wei Yuanzi gave him a little relief. The main reason was to camouflage the skin on his face and hands, making them rough and callous He looked like he had been working a lot, otherwise, with his delicate skin and tender flesh, he would be spotted right away even if he was wearing a tenant farmer's rags.

The tenant farmers who followed had been instructed by the steward, so they dared not say more, but the tension in their hearts did not decrease by half.

The soldier glanced at them and found nothing unusual, and waved them in.

The two turned around the intersection. There were very few pedestrians on the street, and the shops on both sides were closed.When passing by an empty alley, the tenant farmer pulled the cart and continued to the direction of the vegetable market. Duan Jian found a package from the vegetable basket, and hid in the alley fork. , and changed from an ordinary tenant farmer in shabby clothes to a handsome young man.

Fortunately, there was no one here, otherwise, seeing Duan Jian appearing suddenly, he would have been shocked.

The government has to search the entire city of Luo from house to house, and it won’t take three to five days. Residents in the city have received notices to stay at home as much as possible these days and not to hang out outside if there is nothing to do, but businesses still have to open their doors for business. There were much fewer people going up than usual, even a few shops were empty, only at noon, the restaurants and restaurants were a little more lively.

Duan Jian didn't foolishly wander the streets with few people, but waited until the time was almost up before she emerged from her hiding place.

The Xiao Er of Zuixianju was at the door, looking outside boredly, finally saw a guest, and immediately put on a warm smile to greet him, "Guest, please come inside! Please come inside!"

There were only a few scattered tables in the crowded lobby in the past, no wonder the waiter was so anxious, this was almost impossible for Zuixianju in the past.

"How many guests? There are private seats upstairs, please!"

Duan Jian rejected the waiter's kindness, chose an inconspicuous corner in the lobby and sat down, ordered a few side dishes and a pot of sake, and listened to the conversations at the adjacent tables.

It's a pity that Duan Jian didn't find out any useful information until several adjacent tables checked out one after another.

Reluctantly changed the tea shop, there were fewer people drinking tea, and all the people who used to talk about things disappeared, Duan Jian poured down a big bowl of tea depressedly, thinking about it, now is the troubled time, who would dare to cause trouble upper body.

Finally, when the appointed time came, Duan Jian changed back to her previous attire and went out of the city with the tenant farmers.

After returning home, Ah Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief. The first thing he said was not to ask Duan Jian what he had heard, but to ask whether Duan Jian was in danger, whether he had eaten, whether he was thirsty or not. situation of the city.

Duan Jian knew that Ah Hong was still angry with her, so she answered honestly until Ah Hong was satisfied.

However, Ah Hong's expression calmed down with great difficulty, but when he heard Duan Jian say that he would go to the city every day, he completely sank, and he said indiscriminately in surprise and anger: "You are so tight to get together!" Go up to die? This has nothing to do with you at all, it doesn't matter, don't you understand? I've never seen you like this...such..." At the end, Ah Hong's voice became lower and lower, because he knew that Duan Jian was so reckless about danger. All for myself.

Duan Jian smiled, and Ren Ahhong scolded him, but he couldn't shake his decision.

As for Wei Yuanzi, he slipped away when Ah Hong raised his eyebrows.

For several days, Duan Jian pretended to be a tenant farmer and sneaked into the city, and even got some news from him.

For example, the army stationed at the foot of Luolao Mountain adopted the method of siege, and surrounded several mountain peaks where the bandits in Luolao Mountain were hiding so tightly that even a fly could not fly out.

Wei Yuanzi became more and more irritable day by day. Since he separated from Lian Lie that day, he had not received any message from the mountain, and several hidden stakes in the city had to be hidden deeper because of the city-wide search, so they couldn't deliver the message.

If it continues, sooner or later, the pursuers will track them down, but they don't know anything about it, and they can't even avoid it.

Wei Yuanzi made up his mind to go up the mountain himself, which is a hundred times more dangerous than Duan Jian sneaking into the city every day. He comforted Ah Hong, who had worried eyes: "Don't worry, I know a trail can go up the mountain, as long as you avoid it. Army, there will be no danger."

Unlike Duan Jian, Ah Hong did not dissuade Wei Yuanzi, because he knew that Wei Yuanzi would only be more stubborn than Duan Jian, and reversing the case for the Xie family had become Wei Yuanzi's only goal and belief. In fact, he wished he could replace Wei Yuanzi himself .

Before leaving, Wei Yuanzi quietly said to Duan Jian: "If something happens to me and I don't come back the day after tomorrow, you can go to Luocheng to find a real son named Yinping, and he will help you." After thinking about it, he added He said, "This matter was kept from Hongwen in advance."

Duan Jian watched Wei Yuanzi leave the house in the moonlight, tightly clutching the things Wei Yuanzi gave him.

The author has something to say: There is no status for the streaking at all. In fact, the supernatural texts in the newer are also saved manuscripts left before, and streaking will happen after a few more chapters.

After a painful lesson, I decided not to keep the manuscript, and send as many as I have. If the number of words is not enough, I will make it up next time. The same is true for bug fixes ==+
