"Don't make a sound, don't make a sound... If I am caught, I will be killed by the Nine Tribes..." He said anxiously, and I saw a large number of officers and soldiers behind me trying to catch up!
"Over there, over there..."
The general leading the troops shouted to his men that the command was appropriate, and his posture was as if he was chasing someone; the soldiers held weapons and ran over neatly in uniforms!
"Are they looking for you?"
I suddenly glared at the boy in front of me who was desperately hiding behind me, trying to escape pursuit.
"Yes, they are chasing me! Do me a favor, girl? Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."
As he spoke, he pushed me out regardless of whether I agreed or not, and then he got into a basket next to him, "Please, please, I will thank you very much..."
He closed the lid of the basket and disappeared. What a cunning boy!
There was a bookstall next to him, with a copy of "Ben's Travel Notes" on it. There were no customers in front of the bookstall, which meant that besides me, the only people who saw him were the bookstall owner.
Instead of asking the bookstall owner, he asked me, a woman, for help. This was very depressing for me as a newbie.
In the blink of an eye, the officers and soldiers were in front of me.
Each of them was murderous, with piercing eyes and solemn expressions;
Before I could get up and stand still, I was instantly struck by the eyes of the leading general.
"Have you ever seen a boy wearing a hat on his head running around the street?
He is a fugitive that General Yuan wants to arrest, so if you see him, you can’t hide it!"
"Boy? Well, boy..." Suddenly I felt the person lying in the basket reach out and pinch my leg!
He is so bold. He is not afraid that I will betray him if he treats me like this?
But forget it, these ancient governments didn't have a transparent censorship system. What if that kid was innocent? He was arrested only out of political considerations!
If he is caught, maybe he will be thrown into jail without saying a word or having a trial, and then wait for his beheading. Then I will become a person who refuses to save him and adds insult to injury!
And he just said that if he was caught, he would be punished by the Nine Clan.
How can I, a kind-hearted future musician, agree with this inhumane law? I firmly oppose it!
