The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 652 The only warmth (2)
Zhou Boyan reached out to take the folded note, opened it, and lit the book to read the words written on the note.The handwriting was very scribbled, and it looked like it was written in an emergency.After reading the three short sentences on the note, he fell into deep thought.Whether it is a trap or not can only be known by exploring it.Is it worth the risk?
He quickly had an idea, and handed the note to Hong Wei, "Get ready, we're going to check this place."

Hong Wei read the contents of the note according to his words, and wanted to dissuade him, but he also knew that the young master said what he said, so he said yes, and went back to the room next door to get ready.

A quarter of an hour later, they walked out from the backyard of the inn without disturbing anyone.In the night, the three black shadows hurried forward, avoiding detours when encountering the watchmen, and observing the surroundings from time to time to discern the direction.In the past few days, Hong Wei had thoroughly grasped the topography of Feng County, so in less than a quarter of an hour, he led Zhou Boyan and the dark guard to the place indicated on the note.

This is the area where the people live.The folk houses in front of me have single courtyards with vermilion lacquer gates; there are also adobe houses of several families crowded together in a courtyard made of adobe; there are also ordinary small courtyards of single families.The three of them took a look around, and soon found a family with two tassels of golden corn sticks hanging on the courtyard gate.

Hong Wei looked at Zhou Boyan, and said in a low voice, "Young one, go and check first."

The faint smell of blood in the air made Zhou Boyan frown, "Be careful." He wondered if they were late.

Hong Wei supported the wall with one hand and easily jumped in.He quickly finished inspecting the small courtyard, came over and unlocked the gate made of wooden boards, and invited Zhou Boyan to enter.He pointed to the dead body lying less than two meters away from the gate of the courtyard, and stretched out two fingers to Zhou Boyan, which meant that there were two dead people in the courtyard.After that, he drew the sword he was wearing and held it in his hand, and walked step by step to the room with the wide open door to the west.

Zhou Boyan stood at the courtyard gate, carefully listening to the movements in the left and right courtyards.

It didn't take long for Hong Wei to check all the rooms.He reported in a low voice, "My lord, there is a dead man in the Westinghouse. He is dressed the same as the two dead men in the courtyard, with a snake pattern engraved on his wrist. The body is still very warm, and the death time did not exceed two quarters of an hour."

Zhou Boyan nodded and asked, "Are all the dead men male?"

Hong Wei answered yes.

"Yes, here." The woman's weak voice came from the wall of the east courtyard.

Hong Wei's expression changed, and he moved slowly towards the source of the sound with a vigilant face, and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

"Yan Gong... son, I'm Zi..." The woman seemed to have exhausted her strength, and the words fell silent halfway through.

Zhou Boyan immediately ordered, "Go and have a look."

Hong Wei looked towards the east courtyard, but he didn't feel any danger, so he jumped in.There was a smell of blood floating in the cold air. He searched for it according to the smell of blood, and soon found the person in the small adobe kennel that looked like a kennel.

The woman curled up in the den, motionless.The light green dress is very eye-catching in the snowy night, and the large dark color on the skirt is also very eye-catching.

Hong Wei turned his head and pointed to the adobe nest, which means that people are here.

Zhou Boyan was about to jump over the wall to have a look, but he heard the sound of a baby crying from the room in the west courtyard.Zhou Boyan and the others immediately found a place to squat down, so that no one would see them when they came out.

The baby didn't know what happened, and it cried louder and louder.At this time, there was movement in the east courtyard. A man came out in the dark, stood at the door and cursed at the west, "You fucking Guan Laoqi, hurry up and let your mother-in-law coax the child. Cry, cry, cry, see the sky!" Let the child cry, let no one sleep... Damn, if you make the child cry tomorrow, I will tell you to roll away." Enough scolding, the man closed the door and entered the house.

I don't know if the man's scolding played a role, but the crying of the baby in the west courtyard soon disappeared.

Waited and waited, the surroundings were completely silent, and there was nothing unusual.Only then did Zhou Boyan stand up and jump into the east courtyard.Walking to Hong Wei's side, he looked at the woman curled up in the adobe nest, and bent down to check her breath.

Hong Wei said from the side, "I'm angry, I just passed out."

Zhou Boyan withdrew his hand halfway, "Take it, and find a place to heal her."

It is really not wise to take people back to the inn.Hong Wei was walking back with Zhou Boyan with the woman on his back, suddenly thought of a place, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I found a house yesterday, the gate is locked, and the yard has not been cleaned for a long time. , It doesn’t look like there are people living there. The young one asked about it. The whole family went back to their hometown to visit relatives two months ago, and they won’t come back until the end of the year. Moreover, there is a small house behind their house, which seems to be a firewood house.” Meaning Yes, taking the injured woman to that firewood house to hide, not only outsiders, but also the neighbors on the left and right will not notice anything unusual.

Zhou Boyan felt that Hong Wei's proposal was good, so he changed direction and took the unconscious Ziyi to the place Hong Wei pointed out.The hidden guards followed behind them, doing finishing work, such as dealing with the footprints left by the three on the snow.

They pried open the door and entered the small house, only to find that it was not a firewood house, but a simple small house for people to live in, with only one room.Inside there is a kang that can accommodate two or three people, and next to the kang is a stove.Next to the stove are water tanks, rice tanks, and old wooden cabinets for bowls and chopsticks.There was some firewood and a broken broom on the ground in front of the stove.The only window is on the south wall, under the window is an old wooden box, next to the wooden box there is a wooden basin for washing face.

After more than an hour, the cold little room became much warmer, the kang was also heated up, and the room was filled with the smell of soup and medicine.The sky is already twilight, and the light in the room is dim, but objects can be discerned vaguely.

Ziyi woke up, and there was no movement in the room.She struggled to sit up, frowning in pain as she touched the wound.The old quilt that was covering her body slipped off, and she couldn't help shivering from the cold with her shoulders exposed.She quickly scanned everything in the house, there was really nothing to see in the small house.She collected herself, and her eyes fell on the stove kang.The ashes in the stove were pulled out a little, and there was a medicine jar sitting on it.The smell of soup and medicine came from this medicine jar.

She breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to get off the kang.It was only then that she noticed that her blood-stained green dress was still on her body, and her shoulders were exposed. Someone had cut off part of the fabric with a knife to facilitate the treatment of her chest wound.She remembered this, because when Hongwei treated her wound, she woke up in pain once.

Only then did she notice that her bundle was placed on the top of the kang, and on the bundle was a piece of paper pressed with silver ingots.She pulled the old quilt to wrap herself, and took out the paper to read.I saw it said: There are boiled herbs at the stove mouth, drink when you wake up.There is food in the pot.Do not light a fire during the day, so as not to be discovered.There is a pair of medicine on the stove, which is fried and drunk at night.I will come to visit at Haishi at night.
