On this day, Yuan Shuzhi was continuing his auditing career. 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 showed up every day were missing. The servants who came to deliver meals also had unfamiliar faces. The two servants who originally guarded the courtyard gate, Yuan Shuzhi had become very familiar with them, and suddenly they became strangers. His face was full of ferocity.
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 didn't know the path in the mountains, it was still better than waiting to die in fear here.
After finishing the account book, Yuan Shuzhi breathed a sigh of relief. Wrap the account book, put it in the basket and carry it out. Every time I delivered the account book or took the account book, I put it in the basket like this and brought it to the door of the courtyard to hand over.
Unexpectedly, when it was delivered to the gate of the hospital, no new account book was delivered. Yuan Shuzhi was startled.
"No new ledgers have been delivered today?" he asked.
"If you don't, there won't be. How will we know?" the gatekeeper said angrily, 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 in his heart that no more new ledgers were an extremely dangerous sign, indicating that his use value was about to be exhausted and that he was about to be silenced!
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's hair stood up on his back, and he tried to calm down and said, "Thanks to the senior executive, he is still in good health."
"I was 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: "My life is at an end!"
However, senior executives and several vicious servants were present, so what could he, a powerless scholar, do? I had to obey. Go back to the house and put away all your clothes and money. He secretly smiled bitterly and said: I don’t know which of these things is cheaper in the end!
After packing up the things, there was a sedan waiting outside. Yuan Shuzhi got on the sedan chair 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 feel more and more desperate.
After walking in the dark for an unknown amount of time, the sedan finally stopped. I only 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. After receiving it, you can go home. Don't mention the old things here again!"
I could only hear a few people thanking me outside. Then I heard the senior executive say: "The wine, meat and dry food are all given to you by the Taoist priest, so you can take them with you to eat on the way. 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 return tomorrow." Okay. 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 and said coldly: "We're at the place, come out."
Yuan Shuzhi got out of the sedan and saw that this was a small piece of flat land in the mountains, surrounded by darkness and nothing could be seen 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 to 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 had 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, you are already a piece of cake on the knife, so why do the senior executives need to play with themselves in this pretentious way?
Yuan Shuzhi didn't know what to do at this moment, so he had to bow and said: "Thank you very much to the executive family. I have been taking care of you these days, so let this be my farewell."
After saying that, he put the baggage on his back and was about to leave along the way he came. The senior executive said again: "Don't go this way, just go this way." After that, he pointed to a faintly discernible secluded path among the grass and trees, "Just go along this road, don't look back, and don't go back." Thinking of other paths is a dead end!"
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 things burden you!"
Yuan Shuzhi just wanted to run away quickly at this time. He didn't care about anything outside himself, 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 he knew that the future of this path was unpredictable, there might be a seductive kid waiting for him ahead. But at this time, I could only bite the bullet and fumble forward.
The mountain road is rugged and difficult to navigate. In some places, the path is only suitable for a single person to walk sideways, which is very dangerous. In some places, the trails were completely buried among weeds and shrubs, and only the faint moonlight could be used to find the way. Yuan Shuzhi was walking and crawling in great embarrassment. Seeing that the crescent moon had passed the zenith, Yuan Shuzhi estimated that he had walked a long way, and then he stopped and looked back. He saw 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 kept rolling and crawling 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 quickly all night, because he was afraid but did not feel tired. At this moment, when he arrived at 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, 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 didn't 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, I realized that I had made a mistake. However, Old Man Gao didn't take it seriously and whispered: "Mr. Shu is blessed with good fortune and good fortune. He 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 south along the river beach for more than ten miles. The land is the seat of Boluo County.”
Yuan Shuzhi was shocked and wondered where this old man came from.
Old Man Gao laughed and said seriously: "Mr. Shu, although you and I only met each other once, 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 don't know what's going on in my heart, I still want 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. But you don't need to stay in Huizhou any longer. When you get to Boromo, you have to stay longer 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 quickly collected the things. As soon as he took them in, he realized that the bag was heavy and there seemed to be some silver. He also speculated: "I will never thank you for your kindness! Master Gao's kindness will never be forgotten by my students!"
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 and silence them, and the fire in the ruined temple later seemed to prove this. They are planning such a big thing as rebellion, and they will definitely not let the relevant people survive.
But why would this executive let him go? This is a very risky thing. He might also be silenced himself, but he actually came to the rescue. Could it be that he did it intentionally and acted on orders? What does the Taoist want to do?
The strangest thing is that this is an old man named Gao. Although he has a relationship with him once, it ends there. He is not even close to friendship, let alone friendship. And it seemed that he had 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, since he was out of trouble, he had better rush back to Boluo County as soon as possible and report the relevant situation to Lu Cheng. This group of people is now not only stealing medicines, but also intending to commit rebellion. If you can crack it in time, you will be a great success!
