A guest house not far from the eucalyptus discovery site. Two young men of seventeen or eighteen years old sat opposite each other, looking towards the entrance of the alley across the street.
"Brother Guangyuan, why do you need to destroy his whole family? Alas, what should we do now? We may not even be able to get out of the city gate." The young man who spoke had a helpless tone, but there was no obvious intention of blaming him.
Opposite him, a young man of similar age frowned and said:
"I wanted to give him a chance to repent yesterday, but what did you hear from him? Yuan Zhi, let's go. It's me who killed him. It has nothing to do with you. I won't implicate you." Shi Tao As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass on the table and kept his eyes fixed on the city guard at the entrance of the alley. He was not even in the mood to drink.
Adolescence of seventeen or eighteen years old is a time when he is impulsive and irritable. Shi Tao is also regretting why he was so cruel last night.
Thinking of the dead young man at this time, I still feel a little uneasy in my heart.
"Brother, Brother Xu!" A girl hurriedly walked up the street, holding two bags in her hand. Seeing this, Shi Tao stepped forward and asked:
"Mei, have you brought all your luggage?" The girl glanced at her brother, with a trace of sadness in her eyes, and said:
"It's not easy to settle down here. Why did you come here? Now you have brought trouble to Brother Xu... Brother Xu, I apologize to you on behalf of Brother Xu." Xu Fu saw her bowing and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her arm. , said:
"Little sister, there are so many people here, what are you doing? Come in and talk." There was no one in the guest house. Except for a boy, everyone else went to watch the fun across the street.
The boy glanced at the three of them and was busy cleaning without paying much attention. The three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Xiaomei pulled the two of them to the corner and said in a deep voice:
"Brother, Brother Xu, please leave quickly. Here are a few sets of clothes, as well as some dry food and transportation, which is enough for you to escape from Hedong." When Shi Tao heard this, his eyes filled with tears.
"Little sister, are you really not going with us?" Shi Xiaomei was startled when she heard this, looked at Shi Tao, then looked at Xu Fu, shook her head and said:
"I won't leave. The shopkeeper treats me very well. Besides, is there any safer place in the world than Hedong?"
"Brother Guangyuan, please stop forcing me. It's the best choice for her to stay here. It's more comfortable than wandering around the world with the two of us. And when the news passes, it's not like we can't come back." Xu Fu said, Chao Shi Xiaomei asked:
"Little sister, after the two of us find a place to stay, we will write to you regularly. Now there is a war and chaos outside, and I don't know if you can receive it, but if you receive it, you must reply to us." Shi Xiaomei nodded.
"Brother Xu, don't worry. When the news passes, I will write a letter asking you to come back." Shi Tao frowned and said when he saw the two of them looking like they were parting.
"Little sister, didn't you say that your shopkeeper is Zhang Bingchang's sister? Can you ask her to intercede for us?" Shi Xiaomei was stunned.
Xu Fu pulled Shi Tao over and said in a deep voice:
"Brother Guangyuan, you Hu Tu, my little sister rarely settles down, are you trying to harm her?" Shi Tao looked at his sister, opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head in self-reproach.
Seeing this, Shi Xiaomei smiled bitterly and said:
"Brother thinks too highly of me. Not to mention that the shopkeeper just met Zhang Bingchang, but Zhang Bingchang intends to help. Do you think he can persuade that young master?" Xu Fu nodded slightly,
"That's right. Asking Captain Zhang for help will only expose our whereabouts." The three of them fell silent. It seemed that the only way to escape was to escape.
Shi Xiaomei sighed deeply, looked at Xu Fu, and asked:
"Brother Xu, have you decided where to escape?" Xu Fu thought for a while, shook his head and said:
"I haven't thought about it yet. I might go back to Jingzhou to join a friend. I just don't know what's going on there now. I heard that Sun Jian and Liu Biao had a fierce fight some time ago. I'm afraid that my friend will also be implicated." Shi Tao drank the turbid wine in the cup and said with a bitter face:
"Brother Yuan Zhi, let's think about how we can get out of the city first. As for where to escape, we can discuss it after we get out of the city." Shi Xiaomei nodded.
"That's right, Brother Xu, you don't know the efficiency of the city guard. Now I'm afraid there are people checking identities and names at the four city gates. Maybe in a while, people will start to patrol door to door." Xu Fu heard this and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I have already thought of a countermeasure. Come on, brother Guangyuan, give me the bamboo sign..." Shi Tao was stunned for a moment, then casually took off the bamboo sign from his waist and handed it to Xu Fu.
Xu Fu glanced at the boy not far away, then took the bamboo sign, took off his own bamboo sign, took out a dagger, and scratched the two people's bamboo signs until the names could not be seen clearly.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Brother Yuan Zhi, what is this?" Xu Fu said while operating:
"Nowadays, there are more than tens of thousands of outsiders in Anyi County, and there is an endless stream of people going to the health office to register their bamboo plaques every day. With so many people, there must be a few whose bamboo plaques have been damaged." When Shi Tao heard this, he couldn't help but feel confused. Bright.
Shi Xiaomei said even more excitedly:
"In that case, you don't need to escape at all!" Xu Fu immediately poured a basin of cold water on him, shook his head and said:
"You still have to escape. When we went to Li's house yesterday, many people around us saw our faces. Li Yan even called our names at that time. I'm afraid many people heard it." Shi Tao's eyes widened. Feeling gloomy,
"Yes, we still have to escape." Xu Fu looked up at him and comforted:
"Brother Guangyuan, no matter what, we have avenged our great revenge. We should be happy... From now on, I will be called Xu Shu. Think about your name. Let's change our name instead of our surname."?
??at this time. At the alley entrance across the street, Wei B walked out of the crowd and boarded the rickshaw under the escort of Xu Chu.
Xu Chu was wary of his surroundings and said curiously:
"Who does Mr. Xu Fu know?" Wei B raised the corners of his mouth slightly, nodded, then shook his head and said:
"It's not like I know him, I just heard about him." After a pause, Wei B said again:
"However, his name is not Xu Fu. He should be called Xu Shu now." Xu Chu's expression changed. After Wei B sat down, he smiled and said to him:
"Immediately ask someone to go to the guard station and keep an eye on it. Maybe today and tomorrow someone will register a new name for the bamboo card. As long as it is named Xu Shu, I will bring him to see me." Xu Chu cupped his fists and saluted, feeling very confused in his heart. He always felt that Wei B was very interested in the murderer... Could he be a master?
"Okay, let's go home." The rickshaw moved forward slowly, with Wei B's back leaning on the soft cushions, and happened to pass by the guesthouse where Xu Shu and the others were staying.
Looking from Wei B's perspective, he could only see Xu Shu's back and the two brothers and sisters of the Shi family who were frowning.
I don’t know if telepathy really exists. Xu Shu suddenly turned around and saw two rickshaws leaving.
"Brother Yuan Nao, are you okay?"
"Ah, oh, it's okay. Without further ado, let's go and register the name card after filling our stomachs. We will leave the city immediately after getting the Hsinchu card."
