When Fu Siran was thrown into the mountain suburbs, the sun had completely set.
He lay unconscious in the forest, and when he woke up again, the sky was completely dark, and there was only starlight under the sky.
At this moment, he only felt pain all over his body.
After spitting out the blood and dirt in his mouth, the first thing he did was to look for the bronze token. However, Si Yeli looked over and saw that he was alone. Not to mention the token, even his baggage was unknown. Throw it somewhere.
He knew that these people's hearts were evil, but he didn't expect that their hearts were so evil.
It was impossible to go back at this time. He ignored the pain all over his body and just climbed up with all his strength. Then he searched randomly for his baggage in the surrounding fields.
However, there was nothing in the wilderness. At the moment, he just stumbled from the mountain suburbs to the official road.
Then with a little starlight, he touched the city gate. In the grass not far from the foot of the city wall, he finally saw something dark in front of him. When he got closer, he saw that it was his furoshiki. ?
The furoshiki had been scattered long ago, and the contents fell to the floor. There was a letter of introduction that was torn into several pieces. In addition to this, there were a few changes of clothes and a little dry food, and all the money was robbed. gone.
Fortunately, the brother's identity certificate is still there.
Fu Siran probably didn't expect that after more than ten years as a bandit, he would be robbed one day.
And the most important thing is that the most important bronze token that the brother refused to die until his death is missing.
He was suddenly panicked. He remembered that when he was beaten, they seemed to have thrown the token on the ground and trampled on it.
Will the token still be at the place where he was beaten? The more he thought about it, the more likely it was, and he was speechless for a moment.
But it was impossible for him to knock on the door. After all, if he broke in at night like this, he would most likely be regarded as a female spy. If he really went to jail, it would be a sign that the sky would not respond and the earth would not work.
He had to find a way to retrieve the token.
He thought that the token had not been disposed of yet.
After all, when he was beaten, he also heard their curses. At that time, they were saying that the token was worthless, so after thinking about it, they probably wouldn't pick up the token.
Just wanting to get the token back is an embarrassing problem.
On the other side, after the little foreman parted ways with Fu Siran, on his way back, he was still immersed in the anger of being betrayed and abandoned by Fu Siran.
He thought that if he found out that this brat really surrendered to the enemy next time, he would tear him to pieces.
But when he just came back, Chen Yanrong's maid suddenly asked Chen Yanrong to see him.
He felt somewhat panicked.
After all, Fu Siran's analysis was reasonable. He was afraid that Chen Yanrong would really kill him.
But he didn't dare to disobey Chen Yanrong's orders.
When they arrived at the room where Chen Yanrong was, Chen Yanrong was the only one left in the room.
Coupled with the dim skylight, Chen Yanrong hidden in the shadows made people even more uneasy.
At the moment, Chen Yanrong just looked at the little foreman and whispered, "Why are you back now?"
Facing Chen Yanrong's inquiry, the small foreman only said nervously, "We still have some follow-up matters that have not been fully dealt with, so we will deal with those matters."
After saying this, he only cautiously raised his head and glanced at Chen Yanrong, who was above him. However, Chen Yanrong was hidden in the sky, and he couldn't clearly see the expression on Chen Yanrong's face.
But just when he was frightened, Chen Yanrong spoke again, "Where is your deputy who is with you?"
To be honest, Chen Yanrong fell in love with the deputy. Although the deputy was not like Yingxun, he had an above-average IQ and a thoughtful mind. It was obvious that he would be more effective than the small foreman.
However, Chen Yanrong's words sounded to the little foreman's ears as if she already knew what happened in the woods. He was panicking, and his words became more and more out of tune.
.
"What do you want from him?" the little foreman asked guiltily.
Although he scolded Fu Siran harshly, but now that something really happened, he couldn't bear to let his brother suffer, so he just wanted to delay handling the matter.
When Chen Yanrong saw him asking this question, she frowned in displeasure.
However, she still said to the little foreman, "I think your brother is thoughtful and a smart man. I want him to come and work by my side."
Upon hearing that Chen Yanrong only took a fancy to his brother's talents, the little foreman breathed a sigh of relief, but on the other hand, he also knew very well that it was impossible for him to find his brother.
Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and said, "I arranged for that boy to go to Fenglin Village."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yanrong immediately said unhappily, "Why did you arrange for him to go to Fenglin Village?"
Faced with Chen Yanrong's questioning, the little foreman could only make nonsense and say, "If something like this happened in Fenglin Village, we must find someone to explain it clearly. Otherwise, what if they blame us for this?"
However, Chen Yanrong was obviously not happy with the little foreman's self-assertion. She only said displeasedly, "It's self-assertion! I don't pay attention to the little Fenglin Village, so what if we did it? They did it." Is there any other splash that can be found?"
Facing Chen Yanrong's questioning, the little foreman just nodded numbly.
Chen Yanrong, on the other hand, didn't even look at the little foreman, and immediately gave her order, "Get your deputy back quickly. I need him for something very important now."
Hearing Chen Yanrong's words, the little foreman immediately said, "Mountain Master, if you have any important things that he must do, I can actually do it for you!"
However, when Chen Yanrong heard what he said, she immediately sneered and said, "You do it for me? What are you going to do? Do you know who those people came here for today's sake? It's Yingxun, If you use your personality to deal with them, you will act like a loophole!"
Then she just added, "The best thing you can do now is don't go out with this face! I said Yingxun went out to do errands. When your friend comes back, you should ask him to replace you quickly, otherwise I'm afraid of you Sooner or later the secret will be revealed!"
After understanding what Chen Yanrong meant and knowing that she still seemed to need him for the time being, the little foreman couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he only secretly thought in his heart whether Fu Siran could come back.
Fu Siran, on the other hand, slept one night in the outskirts of the city. Because it was midsummer, the night was only cool, but he slept well. The only thing that made people feel uncomfortable was probably the mosquitoes in summer.
When Fu Siran was illuminated by the red sun in the early morning, his body was already covered with red envelopes.
At this time, the gate of Leiyang City was reopened.
Fu Siran was not in a hurry to go in. He just carefully observed the movements of the guards at the city gate.
Today they are still checking the way of people at the city gate.
But they are obviously not the same people as yesterday.
And compared with the few people yesterday, today's group of people are obviously more polite.
After watching them examine it, he finally saw one of the details.
He was seeing an old man carrying a load limping toward them. The old man's load was full of steamed buns, steamed buns and other breakfast items.
The old man obviously knew them. He didn't take the road guide at the moment, and those people didn't mean to blame him. He directly opened the buns in the burden and handed them to the hands of several soldiers guarding the city.
The soldiers greeted him and after taking the steamed buns, they continued to check other people's routes.
The old man just carried the load directly to the inner city in a swaggering manner. It was obvious that he was going to the place where he was beaten yesterday.
Seeing such a scene, Fu Siran also had an idea in his mind.
Later, when the old man came out with an empty burden, he immediately went up to meet him.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and then called in a low voice
Say "Abo!"
Hearing Fu Siran's voice, the old man looked at the young man doubtfully.
However, he did not continue walking forward. Fu Siran immediately walked up to meet him, and then he whispered in a low voice, "Uncle, are you a resident of this area?"
The old man didn't nod, but asked cautiously, "What's the matter with you?"
Fu Siran immediately smiled and said, "Uncle, I don't have anything important to do. I just want to ask you for a drink of water. I'm really thirsty on the way."
The old man saw that Fu Siran really looked like a traveler, so he just said, "My home is just ahead. Come with me."
Hearing the old man's words, Fu Siran immediately thanked him profusely. Then he saw that the old man was having difficulty walking with the load, so he took the initiative and suggested, "Old man, let me help you pick the load. I think your legs and feet are not very flexible." .”
Hearing Fu Siran's words, the old man was not polite. He just said, "I'll trouble you."
Then Fu Siran carried the burden for him. And he limped forward.
Afterwards, Fu Siran only exchanged pleasantries with the old man along the way, but he finally got a rough idea of the old man's background.
This man was a villager from a nearby village. Because he was close to the city and his son was working as a soldier at the city gate, he contracted three meals a day for the soldiers guarding the city through this relationship.
This is why he can go to the inner city without a road guide.
And if he can go in and find his token through this person, that would be a good choice.
Therefore, he only thought in his heart that he had to find a way to stay.
And the old man would naturally ask about Fu Siran's life experience.
Fu Siran wanted to stay, so he naturally fabricated his life experience.
"I'm a wandering Taoist priest who just goes down the mountain and walks around. I didn't expect there to be so many bandits at the foot of the mountain. All my money was robbed. I happen to have some medical skills, so I want to go to Leiyang City ahead. I’ll set up a medical stall there to earn a few copper coins and then continue traveling to other places.”
