female catcher

Crushed stones, deciduous trees, desolate surroundings, and a few dead gray clouds floating in the sky.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from the remote mountains and plains in the Qingshui area of ​​Ganzhou.

That usually calm and restrained face was now panic-stricken. She was dressed as a woman, her hair was disheveled, and the embroidered shoes on her feet were worn out, revealing her bloody toes. The rapid panting from running made her tense.

Nangong Biluo ran with all her strength, as if there was a scourge behind her, if she didn't run, she would be swallowed if she didn't run as hard as she could.In a panic, she bumped into a tree. Regardless of the pain, she hugged the tree for a moment and continued to run forward.

Behind her were a few tall and thick men chasing after her, each with a bloody knife in their hand, and they were about to catch up with her, when she suddenly saw cooking smoke in front of her, and hope was ignited in her eyes.

She ran to a very high slope, and the village was not far in front of her. She didn't see the way down to the left and right. When the people behind were about to catch up, she gritted her teeth and rolled down the slope.When she landed, her face and body were covered with scratches, and she didn't care about the pain, so she got up from the ground a few times and ran towards the village.

The place where she escaped was not the main entrance of the village. She climbed over the fence, fell to the ground, and continued to run into the village.Few people were seen in the village in broad daylight, and the doors of every house were closed.

She didn't bother to knock on the door, she just shouted loudly: "Help! Can someone help me!"

The village is not big, with about twenty or so families. Most of them ran out when they heard the shouts. Seeing the embarrassed strange woman in front of them, all men, women and children were a little surprised and wary.

When she saw someone coming out, she immediately grabbed a farmer's arm as if seeing a savior, and said, "Brother, help me!"

She scratched the skin of the farmer's arm with the sleeve rolled up. He looked at the woman who was short of breath in front of him with a look of bewilderment.Not long after, an old man with a cane walked out of the crowd. The man immediately freed his arm, ran towards the old man and shouted, "Village Chief."

Nangong Biluo immediately ran over when she heard this, staggered and fell, and knelt down in front of the village chief. She grabbed the village chief's clothes and begged, "Help me, someone is going to kill me!"

The village chief looked old and capable, so he took a few glances at the embarrassed woman who was also dressed in Chinese clothes, and then looked outside the village.Several men with knives finally chased down from the slope. Nangong Biluo shivered when he saw that the chased man climbed up behind the village chief.

The village chief frowned, and he nodded and winked at the people around him. The men in the village quickly picked up hoes and other weapons and faced the men with knives, blocking the village chief and Nangong Biluo who was asking for help. behind.

The men with knives looked at each other fiercely, probably because they felt that the village was crowded, they turned around and left.When they were gone, all the people in the village looked at Nangong Biluo again.

The village chief said to Nangong Biluo who was still curled up at his feet: "Okay, they're leaving."

Nangong Biluo breathed a sigh of relief, she got up from the ground, "Thank you, old man."

She wiped off the stains on her face, and took out a piece of mutton fat jade from her sleeve, "I can't repay you for saving my life. Please take this piece of jade as a favor from a little girl."

The village head saw that she was talking softly, and he glanced at Nayu and didn't pick it up, he just said: "You have been saved, leave here quickly if you have nothing to do."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, but unexpectedly Nangong Biluo grabbed him, and said anxiously: "Old man, these bandits must not have gone far, not to mention that my husband and servants have already been killed, I am now helpless and I don't know what it is Where and how? I implore my husband to take me in for a few days. I will definitely reward you heavily when I am safe."

The village head saw her miserable expression, her legs and feet were inconvenient, he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked everyone, "Is there anyone willing to take her in for a few days?"

The villagers looked at each other, but no one answered. Seeing this, Nangong Biluo couldn't help begging: "Brothers and sisters, please take care of me for a few days, me, me..."

She saw the chaotic and indifferent expressions of the villagers on the left and right. After fumbling around a few times in a panic, she took out a few bank notes and silver, "This is considered a reward."

Although some people seemed indifferent, no one spoke.Nangong Biluo had no choice but to look pitifully at the village chief for help.The village head glanced at the villagers, who were too scared to look at him, so he took a deep breath and said, "Little dumb, can you still live in your house?"

A young girl was pushed out from the crowd. She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. She looked around and didn't know who pushed her just now. She looked a little more innocent than Nangong Biluo.She stared at the village chief, and under the sharp eyes, she could only nod her head.

Nangong Biluo was overjoyed, and immediately went over to hold the girl's hand and put the bank note, not forgetting to say: "Thank you, girl, this is the reward."

Unexpectedly, the girl withdrew her hand as if frightened, and Nangong Biluo's money also fell to the ground.Nangong Biluo glanced at the crowd suspiciously, and finally looked at the village chief, who said indifferently: "Little mute, take her to your house. What's your name?"

"Su's surname, single name and one character."

"Su Luo, although I promised to take you in, there are rules and I hope you know, don't run around here, especially at night."

After speaking, the village head leaned on his crutch and left, and the villagers also left one after another. Nangong Biluo always felt that they looked unspeakably uncomfortable, and finally only the little girl and a little boy remained.

The boy was only five or six years old, and as soon as the villagers left, he stepped forward and grabbed the girl's hand, sticking to her obediently.Nangong Biluo smiled gently at them, "Little sister, what's your name?"

The girl first looked at Nangong Biluo warily, and seeing her gentle expression, she relaxed her guard, pointed to her throat, shook her head, then pointed in the direction of a house, and gestured to Nangong Biluo .

Nangong Biluo tilted her head but didn't see what the girl meant, and the girl became more and more anxious, Nangong Biluo couldn't help but softly said: "Sister, don't worry, gesture slowly."

It was the little boy who heard the words and directly came up to hold Nangong Biluo's hand, and led Nangong Biluo forward with the girl's surprised expression.The girl also breathed a sigh of relief, followed up, and even touched the boy's head.Perhaps because the boy was close to Nangong Biluo, the girl also showed a smile to Nangong Biluo.

Nangong Biluo breathed a sigh of relief, and let the two children, one big and one young, take her to walk in this village, as if they lived in a remote place.This village seems to be very deep, with every household close together in the front, but when you arrive at the girl's house, the surroundings become empty, and there is a single hut, which is also very simple.

The whole village is like a paradise surrounded by mountains, and there are no people around. They seem to live here in seclusion. There is a sign at the entrance of the village: Luanxi Village.

However, they said that after the men with knives left Luanxi Village, they came to a dense forest. In the forest, a man in black stood with his back to them, and their fierce appearance became respectful and capable.

"My lord, Nangong Catcher has successfully sneaked into Luanxi Village."

"Okay, step back and follow the plan."

"Yes." Several men quickly disappeared into the forest.

At this time, it was Tu Haihai who jumped down from a tree, and said to the man who was still behind his back, "Thank you Brother Yang for your generous help. If it wasn't for the information provided by Brother Yang, we would have had to fumble for a while."

The man turned around, it was Yang Heping, the leader of the iron guard of the palace.He said coldly with his expressionless ice face, "My lord asked me to come here first to find out the news, and he wanted me to assist Nangong in arresting the head. I just need to obey the order."

Tu Dahai was not very good at dealing with people like Yang Heping. He chuckled, and then said to himself: "I don't know if it would be dangerous for Nangong Catcher to sneak into that village alone? I don't know what she thinks ?”

Yang Heping squinted at him, "Don't underestimate Nangong Biluo, if you don't understand her thoughts, just listen to her."

Tu Dahai laughed again, he could only say that Yang Heping was right.When I came into contact with Yang Heping, I only felt that this person was very strange, withdrawn and seldom talked, and I couldn't figure out his thoughts.Although he volunteered to help track down the ghost gang, Tu Dahai still didn't want to get along with such people.

Ganzhou, Qingshui County.

In an inn, a girl hurried upstairs, came to the room and knocked on the door.

The remodeled Feng Piaoxu was sitting in the room, and when she saw someone coming in, she asked, "How's it going, did you find out?"

The woman who came in pulled off the mask on her face to reveal Furong's appearance, she shook her head and said: "The Nangong catcher has never been to the Yamen since he came to Ganzhou, and now he is gone."

"Missing whereabouts?" Feng Piaoxu frowned, "What the hell is this man doing?"

Fu Rong raised her eyes and lowered her head to report, "Also, I have already posted the password of the Walking Corpse Tower in the city, and I think someone will come looking for it soon."

"Soon?" Feng Piaoxu snorted coldly, "I can't see it, Xiaoyaohou asked me to check if Lang Shaying has rebellion, and here are all Lang Shaying's people. That cunning water ghost is not only She is a simple-minded killer. Even if her people take the initiative to find her, we will not move for now."

"Why?"

"Find out where Nangong is first. We don't know her movements, and we are not very good at it." Feng Piaoxu thought about it, and Langshaying had to get rid of it, but Xiaoyaohou really only wanted her to check on Langshaying Are you faithful?

When she came back to her senses, Fu Rong was still standing in the room. "What's going on? Do you have any concerns?"

Fu Rong said truthfully: "Elder Sister, it is necessary to find out the movements of Nangong Bounty, but if Nangong Bounty wants to hide, we may not be able to detect her, and she may notice her if she moves too much."

Feng Piaoxu sighed, Furong's concerns were not unreasonable, "Indeed, she is usually open-minded, but once it comes to a case, I really don't know what she will do."

She pondered for a while, and said: "Then you go and find out what Chen Yidao has done since he arrived in Ganzhou."

"Yes." Fu Rong retreated in response.

Feng Piaoxu got up and walked to the window. She opened the window and watched quietly.Thinking of Nangong Biluo, he felt helpless and worried at the same time, obviously they had only been separated for less than ten days.

'Piaoxu, be my concern. '

"Oh, I hope you don't do something dangerous again."

Luanxi Village.

Nangong Biluo successfully sneaked into Luanxi Village, and now lives in a sister and brother's house, there are only two of them in this house, the elder sister is dumb, and the younger brother seems to be too.

It was difficult for Nangong Biluo to ask questions, but the siblings treated her well.First, as soon as my sister came, she let her into a larger clean room to sit and rest, which looked like their parents' room.Then the younger brother grabbed a handful of herbs from the outside, chewed them with his mouth and applied them on his toes for Nangong Biluo. The herbal medicine looked bitter because the boy's face was wrinkled, but he continued to apply it for Nangong Biluo Big and small wounds.

This injury had no effect on Nangong Biluo at all, she pretended to be pitiful but was moved by the boy, she couldn't help touching his head and laughing.The boy also seemed close to her, continuing to concentrate on applying the herbal medicine.

Nangong Biluo let him help to apply the medicine. After looking around carefully, the family's bare walls fit the description, even the furniture had missing corners and broken legs.After the boy applied the medicine for her, he took the small bench and went outside to help his sister with work. Nangong Biluo got up and walked around the room.

She found a small dark cabinet next to the bed, opened it and found two safety locks inside, both of which were engraved with the Chinese characters of birth, one with "Xi'er" and the other with "Luan'er". The names of the two children.

When she turned from the house to the outside, she saw them sitting next to each other on the threshold, washing vegetables and playing at the same time. The boy playfully flicked water on his sister with his wet hands, and his sister returned him. He never tired of it.

He flicked his sister back three times, and just like that, he washed the dishes.The boy wiped his sister's face with his sleeve, and then wiped himself. The girl patted his head with her hands, got up and went back to the house, just in time to look at Nangong Biluo who was smiling at them.The girl was taken aback, but still very reserved.

The little boy passed under his sister's arms, entered the room and held Nangong Biluo again.Nangong Biluo raised his hand to touch his head again, and he showed a contented smile.

Seeing that the girl didn't speak, Nangong Biluo asked, "Do you cook?"

The girl nodded, and she said again: "Then I will help you."

The girl shook her head, she pointed to the injury on Gong Biluo's body, and went to get vegetables by herself.Nangong Biluo felt the boy shaking her hand, she lowered her head and was led by the boy to sit on the small bench. The boy took out a bunch of things like swallow tables, as if inviting her to play together.Nangong Biluo smiled and played with him.

There was basically no communication, she had dinner with the two children, and when it got dark, Nangong Biluo was also helped back to the house by the little girl to rest.

There are only two rooms, and their siblings sleep in one. I don’t know if the work and rest here are very early. The little girl locked the door early and took her brother back to the room to sleep.Nangong Biluo had no choice but to lie on the bed early, thinking about what to do next.

The village head deliberately arranged her in this house, really just because there is still a place to live here?Luanxi Village looks normal, but it always feels like everyone has some secret. What is the relationship between them and the ghost gang?

Thinking about this, he suddenly heard a noise, the little boy ran barefoot to Nangong Biluo's room, stood at the door and stared at Nangong Biluo eagerly, his shadow was a little scary in the dark room.Nangong Biluo got up and went over, looked into another room, and vaguely heard the girl's sleeping breathing.

"Can't you sleep?" Nangong Biluo asked the boy in a low voice, but when she saw the boy looking at the bed in her room, she asked again: "Do you want to sleep here?"

The boy smiled and nodded, then led Nangong Biluo back to the house, he climbed into the bed first, Nangong Biluo also understood what he meant, the feeling was to sleep with himself.

Nangong Biluo laughed and lay down on the bed. The boy took her arm and closed his eyes against her. Nangong Biluo touched his immature face and closed his eyes in meditation.

Listening to the subtle sounds in the silence of the village, nothing happened until midnight, but when the middle of the night came, Nangong Biluo seemed to hear something strange outside the house.She immediately opened her eyes and listened quietly for a while, the room was strangely dark, it was as strange as outside this room, an indescribable mystery surged into Nangong Biluo's heart.She wanted to investigate, but at this moment, the child beside her grabbed Nangong Biluo tightly and trembled all over. He was buried in Nangong Biluo's arm like a nightmare.

Nangong Biluo sensed his fear and couldn't break free from him, so she patted his body lightly to try to comfort him, but it really worked. At this time, the strangeness outside seemed to disappear, Nangong Biluo felt in the bottom of her heart Sighing, watching the boy calm down and slowly falling asleep, she kept patting and supporting him until dawn.

Although she didn't have time to check the weirdness at night, she still found clues outside the house during the day.

Near the door and windows of the hut, there are dense footprints, as if in the darkness last night, a group of people were lying on the windows and doors, watching the house from the cracks, always, always...
