We left from Xianfulai after dinner. It was still early and we could continue our journey. Although Fucheng was lively, it was a waste of time to stay in Fucheng for sightseeing.
Therefore, the group left the city without delay, did not need to avoid the sun, and it was not hot now, so they left the city and continued on their way.
After passing Fucheng, the next county seat is Pingling County. After Pingling County is Qiuling County. After leaving Qiuling County, going forward is Lingnan Pass.
After driving for nearly two hours, it was dark at night and they had only traveled 40 miles. At this time, they happened to arrive at a small town. Song Qiu ordered to stop and rest in this town tonight.
It's a small town, but it's really small. At a glance, it's just a long street, two rows of shops, and residential houses behind it.
One end of the long street leads into the town, and the other end leads out of the town.
There are only one street of shops and two inns. One is bigger and better, while the other is shabby.
But no matter whether they are good or broken, they are all deserted, and no one seems to be staying in the hotel.
Song Qiu felt strange in his heart. This was a town that was the only road for officials to pass through. It shouldn't be so deserted, right?
According to this journey, like them, we have dinner in Fucheng at noon and set off. Before dark, we can only go here at most. If we don't stop here, can we continue to move forward?
This day is really not suitable for sleeping outdoors, so if you have a place to stay, you should stop and stay for one night, right?
When I asked the shopkeeper, he just said that it was a coincidence that not many customers were passing by today, so it was so deserted.
Song Qiu didn't think too much about it. He had to live here anyway. It was a town, not a remote place, and there were so many people in their group. Could it be that they were afraid of running into a shady shop?
There were few guests, so it was quite quiet, so we ate in the lobby downstairs and then went upstairs to wash up and rest.
This town is small, with few houses. There is a large forest outside the town, and it is really cold at night.
The three of Song Qiu crowded into one bed, covered with two quilts, but they also felt a little cold.
In addition, the bedding still had a damp smell and it didn't smell very good. She thought that this inn was definitely not like their Songshan Inn. As long as the guests stayed, they would take apart the bedding and pillowcases inside and out and wash them again.
Washed and dried, sterilized and disinfected.
This bedding is so damp. It hasn't been washed or dried in a long time. It's been sunny these days and it hasn't rained much.
Song Qiu was in a daze and was not sleeping soundly. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He thought that tomorrow he would encounter a shop selling ready-made quilts, so he might as well add two quilts to the car to prepare them.
This cover had been covered by others and had not been removed and washed. It really made me feel uncomfortable.
As soon as she closed her eyes, a gust of cold wind rushed in from the left. When she opened her eyes, she saw Aling getting out of bed and heading towards the door.
Just as he was about to go out and ask her if she was going to the hut, she went with him. Before she could open her mouth, she saw Aling pull out the soft sword from his waist.
Her eyes widened, she immediately shut her mouth, and quietly and quickly touched the dagger under the pillow.
Since Ding San's incident last time, she felt that it would be really useful to have a dagger under her pillow at all times when sleeping, so she also developed this habit. Before going to bed, she would put the dagger under her pillow before sleeping.
Here, Song Qiu just touched the dagger. At the door, Aling drew the sword in his hand, quickly opened the door, and flashed out.
Only a muffled scream could be heard outside, followed by a cold snort from Aling, "Little yellow-haired thief! You are too young to dare to use despicable methods on my aunt!"
Song Qiu immediately got out of bed and lit the lamp.
"what happened?"
Aling threw the man to the ground like a chicken, and the man was stabbed in the shoulder. At this moment, he was desperately covering his shoulder, his face was pale, for fear of bleeding to death.
"This man is lounging under the window and is about to blow smoke into our room!"
When Song Qiu heard this, he felt no sympathy for the little thief with his hands dripping with blood.
In the middle of the night, the cat is blowing smoke outside. What does it want to do?
She couldn't help but think of a certain Qiong opera that she would watch during the summer vacation in her previous life. When Gege and her party were away from home, wouldn't it be that they got caught in the trap and had all their money stolen?
I wonder if this little thief is doing it for money or sex?
"Just him?"
Aling pressed the hilt of the sword on the little thief's shoulder, and the pain immediately made the little thief grin, "Tell me! Who are you? Do you have any accomplices? What do you want to do in the middle of the night? How did you target us? Is it with the inn?
What about collusion?”
A series of questions made the little thief's face turn even paler. He didn't dare to pretend to be mute, because he was afraid that this girl who was so ruthless at such a young age would give him another blow.
Before deciding to take action, they did not expect that in this industry, they would still be very good at kung fu. If they had known that it was rare to have five young girls together, they would have resisted and let them pass by!
Money can't buy you. If you knew it, the little thief's shoulders hurt so much that his forehead was numb. He didn't think much. He only knew that his companions didn't receive his signal, so they should have guessed that he didn't succeed and was caught.
It's better to run away so you can find a chance to save him, right?
The little thief rolled his eyes and looked pitiful, "Auntie, please forgive me! I am a little thief in this town who is used to stealing chickens and dogs. Looking at you, there are three cars in the group, and you are outsiders, so I
I got greedy and wanted to steal your money, but I am short-sighted! I didn’t expect that I would fall into your hands! Auntie, you have a lot of money. For the sake of me, I can’t get it, so I got another blow.
, just let the little one go?"
Is that so?
But seeing the look on this man's face, it didn't seem like he was cheating. He was picked in by Aling's sword. He wasn't a master of martial arts, he was probably just a little thief.
Song Qiu looked at Al Ling, but Al Ling didn't believe it. He slapped the little thief again and said sternly: "How dare you be dishonest? Ordinary thieves also use smoke to steal?"
If you are just a smoker, how can you be just a petty thief?
"If you don't tell the truth, do you believe that my aunt will wipe your neck?"
The little thief was thinking: How dare you kill people casually? Are you afraid that the government will investigate and be unable to explain?
Al-Ling saw what he was thinking and smiled slyly, "After all, it's smoke. People in the world, do you know that there is a good thing called corpse-turning water?"
When the little thief heard this, his pupils shrank, this girl was very powerful in martial arts, and all of them together were no match for her. She looked like she was not an ordinary person, so there was no way she could really have such a thing.
Thinking of the power of this thing he had heard about, the little thief almost trembled invisibly. He was afraid of death, and even more afraid that even a corpse would be left behind.
After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me the truth! My aunt, please don't kill me!"
"That's right, it's a lie that I want to steal money. I just saw some beautiful aunts and wanted to stun you, kidnap one or two of them, and sell...to...that stuff."
Ah Ling flicked his sword, "What are you selling to?"
"Sell it to a brothel for some money!" the little thief said through gritted teeth, and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Aunt! I told you! Don't kill me! I will never dare to do it again!"
But he was thinking in his heart, wondering if his accomplices could find a chance to rescue him before dawn.
But no matter what, he has to fight for himself and stay alive so that his accomplices can have time to save him!
Aling and Song Qiu looked at each other, thinking that this man was probably telling the truth.
"Tie him up first and throw him into Yang Dalian's room to watch. When daybreak, he will be handed over to the town office for disposal."
