The man managed to crawl some distance in the direction of Xinguan, and the blood was only dragged out into a long blood mark.
Seeing that the man didn't answer, Xinguan knelt down and looked at the man and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'm on the same side as them?" @
When the boy heard this, he only took the effort to raise his head and glance at Xinguan. Then he shook his head and said firmly, "I know you are not with them. If I am not mistaken, I think you must be sent by the higher ups to investigate this matter." You guys, I've been paying attention to you for a long time."
Unexpectedly, this young man would mistakenly think that they were people from above.
Xinguan did not agree with the young man's words, but just asked the other party, "What about you? Who are you?"
The boy took a hard breath, and then whispered, "I am a policeman from the county government."
"Is this what you want to ask for? Is there anything wrong with this account book?" Xinguan then shook the account book in his hand and couldn't help asking.
Hearing this, the boy only gasped twice, and then whispered, "This matter does not match the county's accounts. I have been investigating this matter, just to clear my brother-in-law's name..."
After the boy said this, he closed his eyes. This time he really breathed his last.
At the same time, there was a sudden noise of "water leaking" outside.
Hearing this sound, Chen Ke and the others finally felt a wave of heat coming from the outside towards the inner room. Therefore, it was impossible for everyone to rescue the young man even if they wanted to.
Xinguan took the lead and jumped onto the roof. When he saw the fire blazing, he knew that these people had wanted to get over it.
I have to admit that although this method is vicious, it is very applicable.
It's a pity that the houses here are connected to each other and are a gathering area for large groups. Coupled with the strong wind and the noisy life, within a short time, the fire even spread to other people's yards.
Xinguan only roughly observed that the fire in one courtyard was relatively small, and then he also took Chen Ke and Xu Zhilan from the courtyard to the roof.
Then he only held one person in his left and right hands and rushed to the place where the fire was smaller. However, when they passed a yard, they could see a little girl locked up in the yard. The little girl was crying loudly and slapping her. The door to the yard.
It was obvious that the little girl also felt uneasy. It's just a pity that she is too small and can't reach the door knocker of the yard, and there is no servant in the yard.
When Xu Zhilan saw this situation, she felt a little unbearable.
She took the initiative to discuss with Xinguan and said, "Xinguan, how about I go rescue that child."
Hearing this, Xinguan only whispered, "I'll put you in a safe place first, and then go rescue the child."
Xu Zhilan nodded cooperatively, and then they only asked Xinguan to put them down in the alley in the yard where the fire had not yet started.
Chen Ke and Xu Zhilan waited in the alley for Xinguan to rescue the child.
However, while the two were waiting for Xinguan, an angry voice suddenly came from not far away, "Who are you? What are you doing sneaking around in this alley? Did you set the fire?"
Hearing the man's angry scolding, Xu Zhilan immediately looked in the direction of Chen Ke.
After seeing each other's faces clearly, Xu Zhilan and Chen Ke immediately started running wildly, and the person who was scolding them naturally followed them.
And now they started chasing, naturally because the person they were chasing was a thug from Jin's courtyard. The thug knew them, and they naturally knew the thug.
At the moment, Xu Zhilan didn't know how long she had been dragged by Chen Ke. After the two of them went around in the alley for countless circles, Xu Zhilan realized that she had finally been pulled by Chen Ke and successfully lost her way.
Chen Ke was obviously aware of this. He looked at Xu Zhilan shyly and said, "We seem to have distanced ourselves from Xinguan. Do we want to go back to find him?"
Xu Zhilan looked back at the flames in the alley, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'm afraid it's not safe here. We should leave here as soon as possible."
Chen Ke only nodded cooperatively when he heard this, and then the two of them left one after the other.
Afterwards, they originally planned to go back to the restaurant to wait for Xinguan. After all, Xinguan would meet them near the restaurant.
It's the noodles.
However, before they entered the restaurant, Xu Zhilan found that the door of the restaurant seemed to be surrounded by people. They were looking at every guest who came in, and they were comparing the three portraits one by one. In this situation, Xu Zhilan quickly grabbed Chen Ke.
"It seems that we may not be able to stay here any longer. I suspect that most of the people here are here for us." Xu Zhilan just whispered.
Chen Ke only asked in a low voice, "What should we do?"
Xu Zhilan shook her head, then pondered for a moment, and then whispered, "Let's stay here and wait for a while. If we see Xinguan coming, let's go find Xinguan."
"What if Xinguan didn't come?" Chen Ke's thinking was obviously more specific than Xu Zhilan's.
Xu Zhilan glanced in the direction of the restaurant. Then he obviously fell into deep thought.
"We can't stay here for long." Chen Ke only said in a low voice.
Then he whispered, "We can't stay in this town any longer."
Xu Zhilan only nodded cooperatively when she heard this.
After that, they waited not far away for about an hour. In Xu Zhilan's opinion, one hour should be enough for Xinguan to find him.
However, Xinguan still didn't come over. Although they didn't know what happened to Xinguan, there was obviously a risk of exposure if they continued to stay here, so the two of them just prepared to leave from the vicinity of the restaurant.
However, when they arrived at the city gate, they quickly discovered that there was also a group of people guarding the city gate, and those people were almost the same group of people as the group of people they had just discovered at the door of the restaurant. They are also using the portraits to carefully compare the people leaving the city.
Therefore, at the moment, they did not dare to go out rashly.
If you continue to stay here, you will only have the possibility of being caught in a trap, especially after nightfall, it will be even less safe.
Just as the two of them were thinking about how to leave here, they saw a carriage carrying many barrels driving towards them.
When pedestrians on the road saw the carriage approaching, they immediately covered their noses and dodged away.
After seeing those wooden barrels, Chen Ke immediately had an idea. He just squeezed Xu Zhilan's hand and motioned Xu Zhilan to look towards the barrels. Then he whispered, "If you don't mind it, , maybe we can get in here and escape, I remember these swill buckets are all going to be transported out of the city."
However, how could Xu Zhilan not dislike this wooden barrel? After all, just the smell of swill would make people vomit.
But if they didn't escape from here, they obviously couldn't avoid the inquiring soldiers at the door. Therefore, after the swill barrel parked at the door of the kitchen of a restaurant, Xu Zhilan only said to Chen Ke, "Okay. Let’s go in together.”
Chen Ke nodded cooperatively, and then the boss who was collecting the swill buckets ran to the back of the restaurant to collect the swill. Chen Ke immediately searched for the swill buckets, and then found one of the buckets that was relatively clean and had no swill left. Inside, he only motioned for Xu Zhilan to hide in, but even this was a relatively clean barrel.
But when Xu Zhilan smelled this smell, she still couldn't help feeling nauseous.
In the end, Chen Ke tore off his own clothes to cover Xu Zhilan's nose. Xu Zhilan just felt much more relaxed, but even so, Chen Ke still couldn't bear to let Xu Zhilan suffer. He just took out a sachet from his body and said, "You You can use this to suppress the taste.”
Xu Zhilan nodded cooperatively, and then after doing this, Chen Ke found a swill bucket and hid it in it.
Fortunately, the swill bucket was big enough, and people could barely hide in it. After the owner of the swill bucket put the two large buckets of swill on the carriage again, he continued towards the city gate. This is the gate of the city. The last restaurant. After collecting the swill here, he was ready to leave. When he was about to drive away, when he arrived at the city gate tower, the people holding the portraits only asked the person who collected the swill, "Have you ever had any?" I’ve seen these two people.”
The man who collected the swill didn't see Xu Zhilan and Chen Ke at all, so he shook his head as a matter of course.
The person who was searching for the whereabouts of Xu Zhilan and Chen Ke obviously couldn't stand the smell of swill, so he just pinched his nose, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you should leave quickly! This smell is terrible."
The swill collector nodded and bowed in agreement.
Then when he was about to leave, another person looked at the barrel and suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
The swill collector quickly came down again and asked respectfully, "What are your orders?"
"Open the swill bucket and let me take a look." One of them said, covering his nose.
Although the person collecting the swill was puzzled, he still cooperated with the man's operation and opened the swill outside.
And as the lid of the bucket was opened, the smell of swill hit people's noses, and for a while there were only complaints.
"It stinks! Who could be hiding in here!"
"That's right, let people leave quickly! I'm about to faint from the smoke."
After hearing what the man said, the waiter only glanced at the people and said, "Gentlemen, do you want to open the middle swill bucket at the same time? If you want to open it, the younger one must move all the outer swill buckets." Come down."
Upon hearing this, the searcher almost vomited. He quickly said, "What are you looking at? Why don't you put the swill away quickly? I can't smell this smell."
The swill collector heard this and immediately nodded in cooperation.
He put the lids back on all the buckets, and then drove the swill truck out of the small town of Anxi.
After leaving Anxi Town, Xu Zhilan and Chen Ke naturally breathed a sigh of relief. However, for the sake of safety, although they felt that the smell in the swill bucket was too unpleasant, they did not choose to leave immediately.
The two of them just waited for the swill truck to drive for another distance, and then they gently opened the lid of the bucket.
