Patrol's sweetheart baby

As the dusk fell, the sun gradually disappeared beyond the mountains.

"It deserves..."

The sound of hooves.

A group of people galloped quickly on the mountain road.

The ordinary steed led the way, followed by the red-maned steed, followed by the others on horseback.

Huo Sheng, the county lieutenant who rode at the front, turned his head and pointed to the house with the plantain yard in front, and said with a slightly anxious expression, "My lord, the farmhouse full of plantains in front is the home of my son-in-law."

Xie Jinbai nodded, and lightly kicked the horse's belly with both legs. The red-maned horse was like lightning, and it immediately surpassed Huo Sheng's ordinary horse, and it was the best.

Xiao Zishu and others following behind also accelerated their speed.

Huo Sheng hurriedly followed, cursing the elder son Zhu Zi and the younger son in his heart.

These two things will cause him trouble all day long!

It's best that God bless that little Mr. Tang to do something else, otherwise, he will have to skin those two bastards!

"Call-"

Xie Jinbai reined in his horse and stopped in front of the farmhouse full of plantains.

The young man who was laughing and joking in front of the farmhouse heard the sound of horseshoes and subconsciously looked for his reputation.

Looking at it this way, it's amazing.

"Ah, Father!"

"Father!"

"father!"

The expressions of the teenagers were almost as if they had seen a ghost.

Huo Sheng got off his horse, stepped forward, and slapped the pillars and Xiaodouzi's foreheads respectively, "Bastards! Who allowed you to go out of the city without permission? It's fine if you go out of the city by yourself, but you even sent Xiaodouzi back to Xiaodouzi's forehead with a slap." The young master is also taken out of the city! If you don’t fight for a day, you will go to the house to expose the tiles! Look at the two of you brothers, one can compare with the other, right? You will all sneak out of the city!”

"Father, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Xiaodouzi bluffed and yelled for mercy.

Zhu Zi's face was livid, and he was beaten motionless.

At this moment, he already guessed who tipped off the letter!

What completed the homework assigned to him by the county magistrate, clearly left a note!

He shouldn't have believed him!

You shouldn't be playing with him!

traitor!

The others were similar, they were all taught a lesson one by one by their own father who came after them, and they ran away with their heads in their hands.

Xie Jinbai looked around, there were several teenagers in the government office, but he didn't see Tang Xiaotang.

He raised his hand, stopped the county lieutenant Huo Sheng from teaching the two brothers, and asked in a deep voice, "Where's Tang'er?"

"Yes, let's relieve ourselves by the yard."

After Xiaodouzi finished speaking, Tang Xiaotang raised his foot and walked towards the yard.

Xiaodouzi looked bewildered.

isn't it?

My brother-in-law is relieved, will the county magistrate also go to see it?

"Ah, Dad, you, why are you here?"

"You still have the guts to ask! It's okay for you to come out on your own, why did you even bring out the young master! The magistrate of Chun'an only has such a eldest son. If something happens later, you can afford it. It’s your father and I who can afford it!”

Huo Sheng couldn't help but patted his youngest son on the back of the head heavily.

Fortunately, he has been in this yamen for 30 to [-] years, hoping to retire safely. These two bastards can cause trouble for him like this!

Fortunately, however, these bastards are all right.

If something really happened, then his job as a county lieutenant might be exhausted.

What to be afraid of, what to come.

When he saw Xie Jinbai coming out of the yard alone, Huo Sheng's heart skipped a beat.

He hurried forward and stepped forward cautiously, "My lord, no, didn't you find the young master?"

Although Zhuzi was angry that Tang Xiaotang left a note for Xie Jinbai, he was not loyal enough and betrayed them, but when he heard the conversation between his father and Xie Jinbai, and heard that Xie Jinbai had not found Tang Xiaotang, his expression changed instantly, and he said loudly, "Impossible! We I saw him go there to relieve himself!"

Xiaodouzi was stunned when he heard that no one was found, "Yes! I saw it too!"

"I saw it too!"

"We all saw..."

Several teenagers agreed one after another, their eyes met Xie Jinbai's cold eyes, and their voices all fell silent in unison.

For some reason, they had never been afraid of that county magistrate Guo before, but every time they saw Mr. Xie, they always felt nervous in their hearts.

Especially Mr. Xie didn't have a smile on his face at this meeting, look, it's even more frightening to watch.

Xie Jinbai asked in a deep voice, "When did Tang'er relieve her hand?"

"Just, just now! Just before the county magistrate, you and Father and the others arrived, it was a matter of time! It can't be gone! I'll look for it!"

"I'll look for it too!"

"I am coming too!"

The teenagers ran into the courtyard one by one. They searched for the direction Tang Xiaotang had left just now, pushed through the dense plantains, and came to the courtyard wall, but where was Tang Xiaotang?

"How, how could it disappear?! I clearly, clearly saw him running this way with my own eyes!"

Xiaodouzi looked blankly at the plantains swaying in the wind in the yard.

How can a living person simply disappear? !

Xiao Zishu said in a low voice, "Master, if these young men have not lied, the young master was still there before we came, which means that the young master has just been taken away not long ago, and the culprit should not be far away. Let's split up and look for it right now. We will definitely be able to capture that thief!"

"not necessarily."

Xie Jinbai fell into deep thought.

Xiaodouzi and the others definitely wouldn't dare to lie to him about this kind of thing.

The back of this house leads to the orchard on the mountain, but Zhuzi and the others are standing in the yard. If the person who kidnapped Tang'er goes up the mountain, Zhuzi and the others will definitely see it.

If you go down the mountain, you have to go through the front yard, and it is also impossible to go around Xiaodouzi and the others to take people away quietly.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place...

Xie Jinbai suddenly turned around and walked towards the courtyard.

In the yard, there is a banyan tree with luxuriant branches and leaves enough to hide people.

Xie Jinbai quietly came under the banyan tree, he raised his head vigilantly.

On the banyan tree, there was no figure of any bandit, but there was something hanging on the branch——

It is a jade pendant.

Xie Jinbai's eyes dimmed slightly, he jumped up and took down the jade pendant hanging from the tree branch.

It was the ancestral jade pendant of the Xie family that he presented to Tang'er on the day he pretended to be a bride and married Tang'er.

Xie Jinbai gathered her fingertips.

Obviously, the thief took Tang'er and hid on the banyan tree just now, and Tang'er's jade pendant was left on the banyan tree. It was because of his concern that he was confused, and he didn't notice it for a while.

It is even very possible that just now when he heard his footsteps, the thief took Tang'er and moved the place temporarily!

It's just because it's late autumn now, and the wind in the mountains has become the best cover for the thief's actions.

One step away!

The sun sinks completely into the other side of the mountains.

Night falls.

"Little Tang!"

"Tang Xiaotang!"

"Tang Xiaotang!"

"Young master!"

"Young Master Tang!"

Xiao Zishu went down the mountain and transferred a team of guards to search the mountain.

The outposts at the foot of the mountain were also notified. If any suspicious person appeared with a young man, they would be arrested immediately.

Accompanied by Dad, Xiaodouzi and the others held torches in their hands, helping to find someone together.

It was Xiaodouzi's brother-in-law who was returning home and learned that the county magistrate's brother-in-law had been lost at his house, so he joined the ranks of looking for someone without saying a word.

People in the village have always gone to bed early, and when they heard about the disappearance of the county magistrate's young master, they didn't go to bed anymore, and started looking for him spontaneously.

Everyone wanted to catch the thief and torture him to find out the whereabouts of his son.

For a while, the silent mountain forest was illuminated by torches like daylight, but the thief and the kidnapped Tang Xiaotang were still missing.

The longer the time dragged on, the less hope of being found.

Searching like this is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Xie Jin ordered County Captain Huo Sheng to bring Xiaodouzi and the others to him.

"Tell me everything that happened before and after Tang'er's disappearance, including what he said and who he met before he disappeared."

"No, Xiaotang didn't say anything special. He just told me that he was going to relieve himself, and then he went to the yard. There was really nothing unusual! At that time, there were only a few of us in front of the yard, and there were no other strangers. people."

Xiaodouzi wanted to scratch his head, but he couldn't figure out what was abnormal about Xiaotang before he disappeared.

On the other hand, Ah Shan on the side let out an "ah" and said hesitantly, "Nothing unusual happened before Xiaotang disappeared. However, before that, we encountered an abnormal thing. It has nothing to do with his disappearance, but I feel that it shouldn't matter, Xiaotang and Maomao don't know each other, so he has no reason..."

Huo Sheng said in surprise, "Maomao? Didn't Maomao disappear more than half a month ago? Now he has been found?"

Hearing that Mao Mao was also one of the missing teenagers, Xie Jinbai immediately ordered Ah Shan to tell him the whole story.

Ah Shan whispered, "That's right. We picked crystal pears and went down the mountain. Tao'er and Xiaodouzi saw Mao Mao walking on the road. Xiao Douzi ran down to say hello to Mao Mao. At that time, Xiaotang didn't know what to do. , suddenly called out to Xiaodouzi. Strangely, after Xiaotang called out to Xiaodouzi, Mao Mao quickly ran into the woods. The movement was very fast, like a wild animal.

Only then did we realize that there might be something wrong with Mao Mao, so we decided to go down the mountain to report to the official.When we returned to Tao'er's house, we planned to lead the horse down the mountain. Tang'er also said before leaving that he was going to relieve himself. Afterwards, you, the county magistrate, and Father and the others showed up. "

"So, could it be that Mao Mao hated the young master for spoiling him, so he took the young master away?"

"It's very possible."

"But what's the matter with that Mao Mao? How can he be so skillful?"

"No, it doesn't mean that Mao Mao is not a human at all, but a ghost that ecstasies the soul?! That's why he moves faster than ordinary people!"

"Impossible! It was still dark at that time!"

"You bastard! You still have the face to talk! Both, you are bothering the young master! You bastard! Bastard!"

All of a sudden, the voices of discussion, Huo Sheng's voice of teaching his younger son Douzi, all intertwined.

The peasant boy who disappeared for half a month and then suddenly disappeared...

This matter is indeed full of doubts.

Xie Jinbai lowered her eyes and looked at Ah Shan, "Where is the last place where Mao Mao disappeared?"

Ah Shan pointed, "It's the forest in front! But wild beasts often haunt that forest, and the strongest son in the village would not dare to enter the forest after nightfall, because he would be eaten by big bugs!"

The villagers at the side heard Ah Shan's words, and hurriedly echoed, "Yes! Yes! The magistrate, the forest ahead is really dangerous. In the past, some people rushed through this forest to return to the village at night in order to take a shortcut, but Since the number of people killed has increased, no one dared to venture into this mountain forest. Even if they were lucky enough not to be eaten by wild animals, after passing through this mountain forest and turning over another mountain, there is Heming Mountain. Master Mingshan must have heard about it. It has long been occupied by bandits. It’s okay for the common people to pass by. At most, you can pay some tolls. But if you and the officers and soldiers stray into the territory of Heming Mountain, I’m afraid... ..."

I'm afraid there will be more bad luck than good luck.

Of course, the villagers did not dare to mention this sentence in front of Xie Jinbai.

It can't be said that the people in the government office can't handle bandits, right?

Huo Sheng was the first to express his opinion, "What is there to be afraid of? We have knives and swords in our hands, and there are many people, but we can still be afraid of a mere tiger! Your magistrate, we are willing to go into the forest with your magistrate! "

Other yamen servants also responded one after another, "We are willing to enter the forest with the magistrate!"

It's not that the yamen servants want to be so active, isn't it, because the disappearance of the young master is inseparable from the few bastards in their family?

There is no way.

If they don't want to be punished by the county magistrate in the future, it's better to be positive at this critical moment.

Xie Jinbai would not be polite to Huo Sheng and the others.

He instructed Huo Sheng and the others, "Go to the Orion's house in the village to borrow bows and arrows. Everyone should bring enough fire kits. We will gather here in a quarter of an hour."

At this time, Huo Sheng's admiration for Xie Jinbai, the county magistrate, was beyond what he could describe at 01:30.

Ever since the young master was lost, the county magistrate has remained calm enough.

I found the little boy's jade pendant under the banyan tree, and sent someone down the mountain to notify the sentry post at the bottom of the mountain to keep an eye out for any suspicious faces leading the boy down the mountain, and then called the guards to search the mountain. He even thought of asking them to go to Orion's house to borrow bows and arrows to deal with the big insects that might appear in the forest.

It has to be said that the county magistrate has considered all aspects.

After Xie Jin finished speaking, Xiaodouzi and the others protested, "I don't want to stay here! I'm going to find Xiaotang!"

"I don't want to stay here either! I want to find Xiaotang too!"

"I also……"

"Okay! Give me a little peace of mind, everyone!"

Huo Sheng growled.

The teenagers pursed their lips unwillingly, but they did not dare to raise any objections after all.

"Feng Chao, stay here and watch over Zhuzi, Douzi and the others. Don't let them run around again."

Huo Sheng gave instructions to his son-in-law Feng Chao.

Feng Chao immediately responded, "Don't worry, father, I will definitely watch over my younger brothers!"

A quarter of an hour later, all the yamen servants had assembled.

Xie Jinbai personally led the people into the forest.

—

The body swayed back and forth, and there was a nausea in the stomach.

Tang Xiaotang will wake up in this extremely uncomfortable situation.

He opened his eyes, and what he saw was the cramped cabin, closed windows, stacked cargo boxes, and pairs of frightened and nervous faces of teenagers.

Tang Xiaotang gasped.

What, what is going on here?

How could he be on the boat, and these teenagers...who are they?

Because he just woke up, Tang Xiaotang's consciousness is not very clear.

He vaguely remembered that he, Zhuzi, and Douzi went out to play in the city, and went to Douzi's brother-in-law's house...

correct!

He remembered that when they were about to go down the mountain, he wanted to urinate, so he asked Douzi and the others to wait for him in the yard first, and after that, he smelled a strange fragrance.

Even though he sensed that the strange fragrance was not right at the first time, he held his breath in advance, because of the struggle, he didn't hold his breath, so he still inhaled a lot of strange fragrance later.

He didn't remember the time when he lost consciousness, but obviously, he must have been in a coma, otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he got on this ship.

After so many years, it is hard for Tang Xiaotang not to think of the teenagers who disappeared one after another in the city before.

He deliberately wanted to find out the situation of these teenagers.

"Hey, you, what's your name, what's your name?"

Tang Xiaotang's hands and feet were tied, so he had to touch them with his elbows, and the boy next to him asked in a low voice.

The forest was obviously in an extremely tense state, and when Tang Xiaotang touched him like this, he almost didn't bounce up.

The reason why he didn't jump up was not because the other party suddenly calmed down, but because like Tang Xiaotang, he was also tied up with both hands and feet, so he couldn't even jump up.

"I, my name is Lin, Lin Zi.!"

Tang Xiaotang's voice was already low enough, and Lin Zi's voice was even softer than his.

Tang Xiaotang finally had a taste of what it means that the sound is comparable to mosquitoes, and the buzzing of mosquitoes is probably louder than the sound of this forest.

forest?

These days, Tang Xiaotang has seen the list of missing teenagers on Xie Jinbai's file several times.

Among the teenagers who disappeared during this period, there was no one surnamed Lin.

However, in a small place like Fufeng County, most of them don't like to report their names, and they usually call them by their nicknames directly.

No matter what, let's find out the current situation first.

"Linzi, you, you know, me, where are we?"

"I, I don't know, I want to go home, I regret it, I shouldn't have left home without permission. I want to go home, miss my parents, wow..."

How did Tang Xiaotang know, he just asked a few words, and Lin Zi suddenly burst into tears.

When the boy who called Linzi cried like this, the other boys also started crying, and they all yelled, "I want to go home too. I miss my parents. Woo..."

Tang Xiaotang was at a loss for a while, and had the illusion that he had fallen into the girl's nest.

Are these people disguised as men?

Why did everyone cry so easily?

"Hey, hey, don't cry. Can you tell me first, where is this place?"

Lin Zi was still in the mood to answer, he was crying so hard that he couldn't help himself, and he even blew a big snot bubble on his nose.

Tang Xiaotang was almost annoyed to death by the crying of the teenagers!

God.

Who can tell him why the dignified boy can cry better than the girls!

There were also teenagers who had an indifferent face, and the circles around their eyes didn't even turn red.

These boys are really, really weird...

Tang Xiaotang wanted to ask the boy who was not crying if he knew where they were now, but what made him frustrated was that the cries of other people completely covered his voice!

Tang Xiaotang was very angry.

What problem can crying solve!

It is a serious matter to find a way to escape!

With a "wow", the door of the cabin was opened, and a man wearing a black cloak, a black hat, and a fierce mask appeared at the door like Shura from Avici Hell.

The autumn wind blew his robes rattling, his eyes exposed outside the mask were icy and cold, not like a living person.

The crying of the teenagers stopped abruptly.

All trembling, looking at the man standing in the hatchway in horror and panic.

"I want to go home?"

The man's voice seemed to be cut through a piece of porcelain by a saw, and it hurt people's eardrums.

The teenagers who were crying and wanting to go home just now opened their eyes wide in shock, but none of them made a sound.

There are no ghosts in this world, they are just pretending to be ghosts.

Tang Xiaotang wasn't afraid, but he had just arrived, and he didn't know the situation clearly, so he didn't make a sound. Instead, he imitated the boy named Lin Zi next to him and pretended to be scared.

His cold, snake-like gaze swept over everyone in the cabin one by one.

There was no sound in the cabin.

After a while, the man's cold gaze finally turned away.

The cabin door was closed again.

The frightened tears in Lin Zi's eyes fell down, but he didn't dare to cry again.

Tang Xiaotang saw that the situation of other people was similar.

Tang Xiaotang was convinced.

Where did these people come from so many tears?

It was so uncomfortable to have her hands tied behind her all the time, so Tang Xiaotang had to move back and lean her back against the hull.

There is not much distance from Tang Xiaotang's position to the ship's wall, and it took a lot of effort because of his inconvenient legs and feet.

At this time, Lin Zi and the others could hardly cry.

Afraid of making people cry again, Tang Xiaotang didn't ask Lin Zi again, but asked the person sitting opposite him, who had been like him since just now, a dark-skinned boy who didn't shed a single tear, "Puff——Puff——"

Since he didn't know the boy's name, Tang Xiaotang had no choice but to attract people's attention with his voice.

When the young man was really attracted by his voice, Tang Xiaotang hurriedly asked, "You know, who is that person just now?"

The boy looked up, "I know."

Tang Xiaotang was overjoyed.

He immediately asked, "Who is that masked man?"

The young man has a serious face, "He is the messenger of light, the person who guides us to the light and to the place where the gods are."

Ok?

Who?

Tang Xiaotang once wondered if he had heard it wrong.

A messenger of light, a messenger of darkness, a person who has reached the place of the gods, why don't you say that person is a god!

Let's make up a story for him!

Those few people who dare not cry before, maybe because they are more courageous than ordinary people, but because their brains are not so good? ?

"He, he is not a messenger of light! He is an evil spirit from hell! If he is really a messenger of light, why, why won't he let us go back? Why did he tie us up?"

To Tang Xiaotang's surprise, the person who refuted was Lin Zi, who had been crying and crying since just now, and acted particularly timid.

The black-faced boy stared at Lin Zi angrily, "Isn't it because you have the intention of defecting! If you hadn't been on the boat for a few days, you were crying and wanting to go home, how could the Messenger of Light imprison us here?! We are all affected by you!"

"You evil spirits!"

"Harmful spirit!"

The boy next to the black-faced boy also cursed.

"We are not evil spirits! I said it! I saw with my own eyes that the person who replied that he wanted to go home was thrown into the water. You, why don't you believe me?! That person really It's not a messenger of light. It's all a lie to reach the place of the gods! Don't be fooled!"

"That's right, I haven't heard that there is any religion in this world where you can't go back on your word after joining! It's clear that you are bewitched! You also said that we are evil spirits!"

"We are not bewitched! It is you who are stubborn!"

"You are the ones who are stubborn!"

Xu was afraid that the arguing voice would be discovered by the masked man outside again, so even the quarreling teenagers kept their voices down.

Tang Xiaotang was in a fog.

To teach?

what to teach?

Tang Xiaotang wanted to ask clearly, but the teenagers quarreled so much that no one paid any attention to him.

There were also those who persuaded the fight, but unfortunately the two groups of people quarreled too hard, and no one paid any attention to the young man who persuaded the fight.

Tang Xiaotang said to the boy who persuaded the quarrel, "It doesn't matter. Let them quarrel vigorously. Write louder after arguing, and then attract the messenger of light later. Let's see if the messenger of light is interested and bring us here. A real journey to reach the light of the gods, don’t you know whether there are gods in this world? It’s arguable.”

Tang Xiaotang's words made the two groups of quarrelsome people shut up at the same time.

The difference was that Lin Zi and the others looked terrified, while the black-faced boy and the boys beside him were vaguely looking forward to it.

Tang Xiaotang was worried.

Lin Zi and the others clearly wanted to escape and leave here, but the black-faced boy and the others seemed to really want to stay here.

How is he going to escape?

Lin Zi and the others were still able to instigate rebellion, and turned around to discuss how to escape.

But they're all in the same cabin, with a dark-faced boy and a tall-haired boy. Not to mention their busywork, there is a possibility that their lives will be lost...

There was silence.

Even the sound of the wind outside and the cough of someone outside the cabin brought by the wind can be heard clearly inside.

Tang Xiaotang faintly heard someone talking outside, but because the wind was too loud, he couldn't hear it clearly.

I could only faintly hear words like "Let's go out of the city before dawn".

It was the voice of the masked man whose voice was like a saw scraping across a piece of porcelain.

Tang Xiaotang was slightly taken aback when he heard the word "out of the city".

In Fufeng County, only the West Gate is a waterway, which leads to the neighboring state capital through the Sichuan and Hejiang Rivers.

However, due to the turbulent currents of the Chuanhe River after autumn and winter, general passenger ships will not take the waterway rashly after autumn and winter. Only cargo ships, because of their large hulls and heavy drafts, are not affected.

Tang Xiaotang now finally understands why the cabin is full of goods!

It turned out that this was simply a cargo ship!

Out of town before dawn...

So, are you still in Fufeng County?

No.

He has to find a way to escape before dawn!

Otherwise, when the goods are out of the city and the ship sails into the turbulent Chuanhe River, then every day will really be unresponsive, and the land will not work!

The author has something to say: Our Tangtang is still very unruffled.
